No matter how easy Lin Xi wiped the matter out, the Cheng family would never accept the result of not seeing anyone alive or dead.
With the merits of his ancestors, his family is also a powerful family.
Cheng Liang, in addition to his ulterior motives, for the Cheng family, he is a smart, motivated, hardworking, able to shine the family and establish a family.
Missing?
If they don’t dig three feet into the ground, they will definitely give up!
Two weeks after Cheng Liang disappeared, the Gong family, as the Cheng family's family's family, was also asked by the Cheng family to do their best. It is necessary to admit that the most cutting-edge talents and technologies are in the military headquarters. Therefore, when Gong's father took action, he was a very powerful first crime scene. Cheng Liang's villa in the deserted city was finally found.
In fact, people from the Cheng family had found this place before, but they quickly ruled out the suspicion here.
The room on the second floor without a window and a whip was hung on it, and it stepped on Cheng's nerves.
It was the first time that his father knew Cheng Liang's little hobbies, so he wouldn't be angry and a little bit angry. At least he had a bit of a family shame that should not be made public.
Later, I heard the preliminary on-site inspection report: It was very clean and tidy, and it didn't look like someone had ever been here.
So, Dad Cheng's father was relieved of this place with peace of mind.
What's more coincidental is that the police suddenly heard the latest news that there were signs that two people who had been released from prison had several contacts with Cheng Liang, and everyone's eyes were immediately diverted.
Those two released prisoners were the two minions who kidnapped Xiao Ran.
The villa was thrown away by the investigators, and the follow-up tracking of the two minions was fruitless. The two seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, without any clues.
Seeing that things were in a dead end, Gong's father was asked by the Cheng family to take over and help. Gong's father has military strength, and the military's talents are truly top elites, of course they are not comparable to ordinary police.
These people didn't even look at the previous investigation results. They sorted it out from beginning to end, so, inevitably, Chengliang's villa in wasteland was once again dug out. This time, the military's technical department directly gave a comment that "it's very unusual here."
Yes, that villa is not popular very clean and tidy, it is too clean and tidy!
It's so clean that there's no fingerprint in the bathroom, and I can't find a hair in that bedroom without windows.
Even if there were hours of cleaning and maintenance here before, could your nanny use her fingerprints to clean the room?
Can your hourly worker vacuum the floor until there is no hair?
So the conclusion is obvious, there were once very professional anti-scouts who obliterated all the traces!
Well, it is not ruled out that Cheng Liang did something shameful himself, and then cleaned up the place
Of course, according to the current trend, it is more likely that he will lose his rice by stealing the chicken and being cleaned up by others
After finding the crucial accident site, the direction of the investigation was clear. Next, follow the clues and follow the clues. Cheng Liang's past shameful wrists and hobbies, one by one, one by one, pulled out the radish and brought out the mud, and hung them before everyone's eyes.
The old man of the Cheng family understood very well that although this was a step that had to be taken to find the whereabouts of his grandson, it was equivalent to directly lifting Cheng Liang's fig leaf.
Not to mention whether Cheng Liang can be retrieved safely in the end, even if he is unscathed, Cheng Liang's future career may be stopped. All the things found out now will be recorded and archived by some departments, becoming a stain in Cheng Liang's reputation that will never be erased in his life.
It was the most ambitious and optimistic descendant of the Cheng family...
Now that the future is completely destroyed in this villa, this is a series of bad influences for the Cheng family, especially the old man of the Cheng family. The anger behind the incident is not limited to Cheng Liang's own safety, but also has a family reputation, future, other people's careers, and other bad influences.
If you die, you will be cut into the man behind the scenes! This is the response of the old man of the Cheng family in the face of a son of a few children, "Why don't we put things aside first?"
It has reached this point. Now that I stop, can Aliang's reputation be restored? Why did you uncles and aunts put down your face and ask your nephew to help? Now that Aliang's life and death are uncertain, you just want to throw him out and wash away your body with fishy bodies? Confused!
The old man of the Cheng family is worthy of being in the officialdom all his life, and he can see through it thoroughly. The Cheng family has not yet reached the point where everyone is betrayal of their relatives and relatives. How can you panic now? You are in a mess!
It's just a matter of human relationships. Even if you find something, as long as each of you is stable, in the end, someone will naturally buy the face of the Cheng family. If you can find the person behind the scenes, you will not have to worry about finding a blame... Mr. Cheng has already put Cheng Liang's disappearance on some political enemies.
The Cheng family has the Cheng family's countermeasures, and the Gong family has the Gong family's own opinion
When Dad Gong heard the news of Cheng Liang's disappearance for the first time, his eyebrows beat.
Later, after learning that Cheng Liang had some shameful hobbies and preferred beautiful boys, a shadow of someone flashed through his father Gong's heart. Of course, this suspicion was unfounded.
But Dad Gong has to admit that everything was too coincidental. The man just got into their circle and Cheng Liang had such a big deal, and even brought up a scandal that could ruin the future of Cheng Liang and even the entire Cheng family.
Although the suspicion is unfounded, it does not prevent Gong’s father from repeatedly pondering his ideas in his mind. During the Qingming Festival holiday, Gong’s father kept talking to his children about Cheng Liang’s missing case.
Dad, I didn’t realize that you are still so gossiping? Gong Shu looked at her dad with a squinted look. If someone likes men, just men will. Anyway, my brother likes women, so he will definitely be able to pass on the family line to you in the future!
Dad Gong slapped the table, I love him and his mother? I just didn't expect... you all grew up together, do you know what kind of friendship he has made?
People just like the same-sex people, why are they disagreeing? Gong Shuding doesn't like to listen to this
Don't mess around
Gong Bin threw the peeled chestnut into the little girl's mouth. She didn't even understand her father's true intentions!
The little gangster of the Gong family answered Gong's father. He asked all these questions and said that he was a child, but my sister had just returned from abroad and was not familiar with the fields. I was in the military camp all year round and only met during the New Year parties all year round. How could we be familiar with Cheng Liang's friends?
At that time during the New Year party, you didn’t find any clues? Dad Gong’s spy is almost no longer called spy
Cough cough... Cough... Cough... Gong Bin was choked by Li Zi Ren'er, Cough cough...
Gong Shu handed over the tea, but was pushed away by Gong Bin. Cough, beauty, I cooked a cup of Blue Mountain, thank you!
I have to pick on this? I choke you to death! Gong Shu knocked Gong Bin and turned to the kitchen.
After sending the girl away, Gong Bin stopped coughing and no longer looked like he was sloppy before. In fact, Gong Bin also had his own doubts about Cheng Liang, and he had doubts for a long time ago, but...
I'm just guessing
Dad Gong looks at Gong Bin, talk about it
On the day of the party, the Lin family was very outstanding, Cheng Liang asked me if Xiao Ran was my younger sister's boyfriend. I said it wasn't that everyone asked about Xiao Ran's origin at that time. Cheng Liang was not the only one. I didn't take this seriously and there was no intersection between them that day.
Until something happened to Cheng Liang, Gong Bin didn't think of Xiao Ran, but later it was reported that Cheng Liang had that kind of habit and had an unknown villa, Gong Bin suddenly felt alert. It was a very unreasonable sixth sense. Coincidentally, Gong Bin was a soldier. The harsh survival training in the army made Gong Bin believe in his feelings about the unknown environment.
So he took it seriously, he thought, and then he realized something was wrong
I also later learned that Cheng Liang likes beautiful boys. In fact, according to his secretive nature, I think if he knew that Xiao Ran was not our house and his own cup of tea, he would not have let go of such a good prey. According to common sense, it would have been normal for him to get close to Xiao Ran that day... But in fact, he remained quite alienated with Xiao Ran that day, and was completely stranger. Others met Xiao Ran for the first time, and he did not have Cheng Liang's performance like him, which made me feel later that it was a deliberate... avoid suspicion...
You suspect... Xiao Ran is here... Dad Gong frowned
Prince Lin is very concerned about Xiao Ran
Gong Bin remembered the scene when Lin Xi sent them out during the Chinese New Year
He said at that time that "returning the jade to Zhao" was not without the meaning of ridicule, but Lin Xi's attitude was very serious.
Gong Bin thought about it and added another sentence, When Cheng Liang disappeared, the younger sister said that Xiao Ran was sick that time...
What do you think of Xiao Ran? Gong Shu is back with coffee
You said you are extroverted and haven't contacted Xiao Ran recently. I heard that he is sick? Gong Bin immediately changed the topic
What kind of almanac is it? It's been a long time ago. Gong Shu didn't think the news that Xiao Ran was sick was worth fussing.
Gong Bin didn't say anything anymore. He was just a guess and there was no evidence, but his father's expression was unpredictable.
According to Gong Bin's statement, it is almost certain that Lin Xi is the one who takes the blame behind Gong's father!
His certainty is not unfounded, but he is more confident than Gong Bin's suspicion that he feels like his sixth sense.
Only Lin Xi can do this, from motivation, courage, and ability.
What made Gong Dad even more concerned was that the matter was slowly investigated. The investigation team did not find Cheng Liang's life and death. Instead, as the investigation deepened, the secret matters that Cheng Liang had done were pulled out one by one, just like an invisible hand guiding him. Not only did he not know about Cheng Liang's life and death, but he also wanted to ruin Cheng Liang's reputation. The Cheng family also defeated Cheng Liang a lot. He has already conducted a review of the lack of strict education in his children. At present, he has to take sick leave at home for temporary shelter due to physical reasons.
At this time, Dad Gong didn't know that the tricks they found one after another were all pediatricians.
After the Qingming Festival, Lin Xi took Lin Xiaoran back to his old nest in Yishan. After less than a week, the case of Cheng Liang's disappearance made a major breakthrough. Someone fished in Qinghe and caught a dead body. Logically, this was just an ordinary case of murder and dismemberment. However, after the highly decayed autopsy report, the skull image of the deceased pointed directly to a boy who had been dating in Cheng Liang. After the DNA examination, it coincided with the DNA in the gap of a whip in the room. Cheng Liang, although he could not see anyone alive, the hat of the suspect was still held on his head without question.
When the old master of the Gong family learned the news, he sat on the chair and swayed his palm-leaf fan to separate himself from the Cheng family.
I have done this. Dad Gong said that since he was involved in such unfamous things, the Cheng family could no longer get close to Dad Gong, but I still don’t understand very well...
What else is there to not understand?
The old man from the Gong family sighed, taking revenge on the Cheng family for personal gain, showing his strength for the public, and shaking the mountains and shaking the tigers without revealing it. A 32-year-old young man can play this trick. Will you cooperate with such a person or be hostile?
Don’t my father thinks this kind of person is difficult to control?
Control? No, no, Old Master Gong shook his head, you don’t understand, what he wants is cooperation, cooperation and equality and mutual benefit, and the resources he has is destined not to rely on...
Dad Gong understood the truth, but he couldn't make a mistake in his heart. First, Lin Xi is a bandit, he is a soldier, second...
Aren't you afraid of being a scam with a tiger?
Do you think he is a lunatic? Mr. Gong asked back
Gong Ping understood what his old man meant
A person who can ignore the law and morality usually loses himself when he is in power. Just like Cheng Liang, the noble family background gives him a reason for being arrogant, and the result of lack of self-discipline is becoming more and more crazy.
Crazy is always the prelude to destruction
But Lin Xi was obviously not. He was rational and sober and did illegal activities that killed people and set fire, and did everything he wanted.
He knew very well what he was doing, and before he took action, he also understood what he wanted to get, purpose, behavior, consequences, and the impact he was involved.
Faced with murder and setting fires, Lin Xi is only part of his daily work. He will not feel arrogant or guilty about a "engineering project", nor will he be arrogant because of controlling human life and dignity.
To give a bad metaphor, just like the executioners who executed executions in ancient times, they were used to killing people, but they would not really regard human life as a mustard of grass.
They will not slash outside the court, nor will they think they will go to the eighteen levels of hell in the future, because for them, killing is an act within the rules, just a job to support their families.
Similarly, in Lin Xi's eyes, work is work. No qualified leader will confuse work with personal feelings, let alone family.
This is the prince
A genius who regards crime as a career and works hard in his career seriously
He is a principled person
Mr. Gong used his more than 70 years of life experience to evaluate this future partner. He has faith, principles, will value family, and knows how to cherish such people. He sets rules for himself and abides by the rules, so he will never lose himself under power. What does Xiaobin often say? He is not afraid of enemies like gods, but teammates like pigs... Mr. Gong smiled. Compared with other people, such as those unhelpful descendants of the Cheng family, Lin Xi's calm and ruthless actions are more than just teammates like gods?
Let him reply, I think our Gong family is worth gambled
With the merits of his ancestors, his family is also a powerful family.
Cheng Liang, in addition to his ulterior motives, for the Cheng family, he is a smart, motivated, hardworking, able to shine the family and establish a family.
Missing?
