Chapter 162 Gift
"Lin Xian, I'm sorry."

The day after returning to Donghai from Hangzhou, Zhou Duanyun's Rolls-Royce Phantom appeared downstairs at MX Company. He came to Lin Xian's office, sat on the sofa and looked at Lin Xian:

"I know you must be very sad, but... no one wants this kind of thing to happen. I am also heartbroken by Tang Xin's death."

"Actually, I didn't intend to tell you because I was afraid you would feel even more guilty after hearing it... Tang Xin had something to give you that night, and I helped her prepare it for a long time and put it in my car, so she had an accident because of it."

Zhou Duanyun sighed and crossed his arms:
"If we really want to blame someone, I'm more responsible."

……

Lin Xian sat at his desk, supporting his cheek with his left hand, turning a pen with his right hand, without saying a word.

Gao Yang once went to the Donghai Public Security Bureau with Tang Xin's younger brother to find out the situation.

To them, Tang Xin’s death was a huge matter, as if there were countless conspiracies surrounding her.

But if you zoom in, Tang Xin isn't that special.

In this city, an average of 500 car accidents occur every day, an average of four people die and 30 people are injured in car accidents every day.

This is just the data for one city. If we look at it nationwide or around the world...the number of people who die in car accidents every day on Earth is about 3200.

Tang Xin is just an insignificant one.

Compared with Professor Xu Yun, her death was as light as a feather. Or, if it weren't for the similarities between her death and Professor Xu Yun's, her death would not even be a feather to the people of Donghai City.

No one cares about who, where, or when the other 3199 people who died in car accidents on the day Tang Xin died were.

The answer Gao Yang and Tang Xin's brother received was -

The vehicle that caused the accident has not been found yet and there is insufficient evidence. Please refer to the final police report.

……

These days, Lin Xian has also deliberately stood on the edge of the sidewalk at 00:42 many times, testing the edge of danger.

But everything went smoothly without any disturbance.

If Huang Que hadn't reminded him that the "cat and mouse game" had begun, he would never have thought that he would be the target of those murderers.

He is not a scientist and he doesn't study hibernation, so why should he set himself as a goal?
But Lin Xian still believed what Huang Que said, so it was not difficult to deduce...

I am now being targeted by the murderers, but they don't intend to kill me now. The reason may also be that there is no evidence.

Lin Xian stopped spinning the pen and looked up at Zhou Duanyun who was sitting on the sofa.

perhaps……

The fact is just as he guessed now -

[I can't find any evidence that they killed Xu Yun and Tang Xin, and they can't find any evidence that Xu Yun and I are accomplices! ]

[And in this constant tug-of-war and probing…whoever is first caught by the other party with evidence and handles will lose this cat-and-mouse game! ]

It turned out to be the case.

Lin Xian finally understood what Huang Que meant by the cat-and-mouse game.

He originally simply thought that this was a game of hide and seek and that he was in a very passive position and could only hide carefully to avoid being discovered.

But now it seems that this is not the case!

It's a game of cat and mouse, a race against time. Although the current situation is very passive, but...

Lin Xian looked at the row of Rhine cats of different shapes on his desk...

If the mouse is smarter, it may be able to turn the tables and become the cat!

Seeing that Lin Xian didn't speak for a long time.

Zhou Duanyun stood up, smoothed the wrinkles of his suit, and looked at Lin Xian:

"Lin Xian, the gift Tang Xin prepared for you is still in my car. Do you want it back? If you do, I'll ask the driver to give it to you..."

"No need." Lin Xian shook his head:

"Help me throw it away."

Lin Xian doesn’t trust Zhou Duanyun now. Who knows whether the so-called gift Zhou Duanyun brought down is real or fake?
What's more, what's the use even if it's true?

Tang Xin was already dead, and he was sure that she was killed, and it was very likely that this old classmate was involved in the plot. What was the use of this bloody gift?

"what?"

Zhou Duanyun was very surprised and looked at Lin Xian with wide eyes:

"Are you sure you don't want to?"

"I watched Tang Xin die in front of me, how could I have the face to accept her gift." Lin Xian leaned back, leaned back in the boss chair, chuckled and looked at Zhou Duanyun:
"I really hope that one day in the future when I visit Tang Xin's grave, I can give her a gift."

"You may not know Lin Xian very well..."

Zhou Duanyun shook his head and smiled:

"Now Hangzhou is promoting civilized sacrifices, and burning paper money is no longer allowed."

"Really."

Lin Xian replied calmly:

"Then let's burn something else."

"..."

Zhou Duanyun was speechless.

Is the point paper money?

The key is burning!
……

Zhou Duanyun left after a while.

Lin Xian pulled down the blinds and watched Zhou Duanyun leaving the parking lot through the gap.

This person...

What is he busy with?
What on earth is he doing?
Every classmate, including Lin Xian himself, used to think that he was a successful person, but why was he successful and where did he succeed?
Lin Xian was surprised to find that once he looked at Zhou Duanyun carefully, he found that he didn't know him at all.

Whether it was his low self-esteem and lonely high school days or his successful present days, I know nothing about him.

Lin Xian doesn't believe that people are inherently evil.

If Zhou Duanyun really turned from a child from a poor family into a murderer, there must have been some opportunity for the change.

This opportunity for change...

Maybe that's the key to finding all the answers!

ding dong~
A few minutes after I saw Zhou Duanyun off, WeChat on my phone rang.

Lin Xian picked up his phone and found that it was a message from Chu Anqing——

"Senior Lin Xian, are you free tomorrow at noon? My dad wants to invite you to his house for dinner. He wants to have a drink with you. My mom has prepared a lot of delicious food and is ready to treat you well!"

Chu Shanhe actually invited me to his home for dinner?

This is still a bit unexpected.

In modern society, with restaurants so convenient, there are only two situations where people would invite others to their homes:
1. I think eating out is too expensive, so I choose to cook at home to save money.

2. Only when the relationship is very close or the other person is very important will one choose to cook at home to entertain guests.

obviously.

Chu Shanhe definitely didn't do this to save money.

After thinking about it, Lin Xian replied to Chu Anqing:
"Okay, I'm free tomorrow."

Chu Shanhe's status in Donghai City is unmatched.

He even knew that the Donghai police had secretly hired a "non-staff member".

Since Chu Shanhe wanted to thank me and felt that he owed me a favor, there was no need for me to refuse. I might as well accept it and get some useful information from him.

Perhaps, at some point in the future...

Chu Shanhe can provide himself with extraordinary help in the East China Sea.
