Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room.

Chapter 566 June
The two returned to the box.

Chen Yi looked normal and continued chatting with Xu Can, Ren Moyong and others, but Jiang Fanlei was a little depressed. He drank the wine in the glass in front of him as if it were water, which choked him and made him cough several times.

"Are you okay?"

Zuo Qiu Anqing, who was beside him, considerately went to get a tissue and handed him a glass of water for Jiang Fanlei to rinse his mouth.

"It's okay, it's okay." Jiang Fanlei took the cup of water and drank it all. He felt better and looked at Zuoqiu Anqing with meaningful eyes.

He would not doubt Chen Yi's words.

It is said that Zuoqiu Anqing’s surname is Zuo, so it is absolutely impossible that his surname is Zuoqiu, unless there is a problem with the city bureau’s system or the information is wrong.

This girl’s real name is Zuo/Qiu Anqing, not Zuo/Anqing.

It feels bad to be cheated.

The main thing is that the name doesn’t matter at all. There is really no need to lie, and it’s not like there is malicious falsification of other aspects such as background and academic qualifications.

Although his first impression came from the name Zuoqiu Anqing... well, the name is actually quite important. If the other person was called Tian Erniu, Wei Benxia or Zhang Xiaohua, there would definitely not be any further development between the two of them.

Without the name, Zuoqiu Anqing could not attract his attention. What kind of beauties has he not seen?

Is this a scheming bitch?
Jiang Fanlei sighed in his heart, not knowing how to deal with it. Putting this matter aside, Zuoqiu Anqing was really pretty good, much better than his ex-girlfriend, and he wanted to develop further developments with her.

After the banquet, Jiang Fanlei was in a bad mood and had no interest in the subsequent entertainment activities organized by Ren Moyong and others. He made the excuse that he had drunk too much and had a headache and wanted to go home.

"What's wrong with you? You're already drunk after drinking only half a catty? Is your uncle here? Don't spoil the fun."

Ren Moyong complained and wanted to force Jiang Fanlei to leave, but the important thing was that this kid had to treat everyone. You organized the party, if you didn't treat everyone, who would?

Chen Yi stopped him: "Give them some privacy. Come on, I'll go with you and I'll pay for the bill."

A few people no longer insisted and followed Chen Yi away, leaving only Jiang Fanlei and Zuoqiu Anqing in the box.

Zuoqiu Anqing was a very sensitive girl. She had already noticed that Jiang Fanlei was in a bad mood, and the source of his bad mood seemed to be because of herself.

Recalling that the other party and Chen Yi had left the box alone before, something must have gone wrong at that time.

"Are...are you okay?" Zuoqiu Anqing asked cautiously.

Jiang Fanlei was silent for a long time, but he couldn't help asking, "Is your last name Zuo or Zuoqiu? Why are you lying?"

Zuo Qing'an Qing's face changed and he lowered his head without saying a word.

……

On the other side, Chen Yi and others left the hotel, and Xu Can quietly pulled him aside to ask about Jiang Fanlei's situation.

Xu Can's mind was more delicate than others, and he understood Jiang Fanlei better, so he could tell that something was wrong.

"It's just a small matter. It has nothing to do with us."

Chen Yi didn't plan to say it.

I said that it would affect everyone's impression of Zuo Qiu and An Qing. What if the two of them can continue to be together? What if Jiang Fanlei doesn't care? What if Zuo Qiu and An Qing are very good at speaking?
Based on Jiang Fanlei's IQ, Chen Yi thought there was an 80% chance that he would be persuaded by Zuoqiu Anqing and eventually choose to forgive.

It's just a lie about the last name, which doesn't seem like a big deal on the surface. The key point is the purpose behind it and the kind of person Zuoqiu Anqing is.

We are not simple even in small matters, and it will be even more serious when encountering big matters.

Of course, this is Jiang Fanlei's personal issue. He only needs to tell the other party the truth. It is up to him to decide.

Seeing this, Xu Can didn't ask any more questions.

If Chen Yi said it was a small matter, then it was a small matter. Otherwise, he would definitely get involved. After all, Jiang Fanlei was a good brother like himself.

That night, Chen Yi and Fang Shuyu were lying on the sofa watching TV, and Jiang Fanlei called as expected.

Upon learning that it was Jiang Fanlei, Fang Shuyu quickly muted the TV and moved over to listen to the result, unable to hide her curiosity.

"Chen Yi, An Qing has had a hard time too. Just pretend this never happened. Thank you. I'll treat you for a drink later."

"Also, we are... officially together."

These were Jiang Fanlei’s last words.

Chen Yi was not surprised, it was expected.

According to Jiang Fanlei, Zuoqiu Anqing was born in the countryside and her parents treated her very badly, so she rarely went back after going to college.

Zuoqiu Anqing was a name she changed herself.

Her original name was Zuo Cuili.

This is not discrimination, this name is relatively rustic and far less domineering than Zuoqiu Anqing.

The reason for changing the name is very simple. It is because I am afraid of suffering, poverty and lack of love. I want others to look at me with higher regard when they hear my name and get more attention.

As for why I lied to Jiang Fanlei.

Zuoqiu Anqing admitted that she was a little clever, but that was because she liked Jiang Fanlei and was very inferior.

Jiang Fanlei is a young and promising boss, while Zuoqiu Anqing is just a small designer. It is difficult for the two to have any interactions, let alone the possibility of love.

Therefore, when Jiang Fanlei clearly showed interest in Zuoqiu Anqing, the latter chose to lie out of fear of losing the outcome.

After hearing the general process, Chen Yi felt a little uncomfortable. It was not because he had a prejudice against Zuoqiu Anqing, but he really could smell the scent of green tea.

Zuoqiu Anqing is definitely of some level, but whether she really likes Jiang Fanlei is unknown.

"Congratulations, I'm doing this for you, not targeting her," said Chen Yi.

Jiang Fanlei: "I know. Let's do this first. Go to bed early and don't forget the important event in June."

The phone hangs up.

Before Chen Yi could speak, Fang Shuyu spoke first: "I think it's a routine, not real."

She was referring to whether Zuoqiu Anqing was sincere.

If you lie first, it will be difficult to gain the trust of others, especially outsiders, even if you play the victim.

A bystander sees more clearly than a participant. Jiang Fanlei must have been on the side of Zuoqiu Anqing if he was in the situation. One can even guess that Zuoqiu Anqing probably shed tears at that time.

When a girl you like cries in front of a man, tells him about her tragic past, and gives very reasonable and excusable reasons for lying, which man can stand it?

Chen Yi threw his phone aside and said, "Don't be so pessimistic. There is a possibility that they are sincere. I didn't expect that my information would help them get together earlier. Can I be considered a matchmaker?"

Fang Shuyu: "What is a matchmaker? If it really works out, how awkward it will be to meet in the future?"

Chen Yi: "It's good enough to have a clear conscience. If you are lying, can't others tell on you? If she is sincere, she will definitely not blame me. If not, it doesn't matter whether it's embarrassing or not."

Fang Shuyu nodded: "That's right, just don't affect your relationship with Fan Lei."

Chen Yi: “Not really.”

What should I do if my brother’s wife has conflicts with me?
This was indeed a rather difficult matter. He did not think too much about it and just let things take their own course. If he discovered in the future that Zuoqiu Anqing was really an impeccable good girl, he would be willing to apologize.

Harmony first.

……

After the Lantern Festival, everyone became busy and the contact between each other gradually became less.

In March, Chen Yi received an assistance order from the provincial department, which was supervised by the Imperial City Police Department, to assist the Ningcheng police in tracking down a child trafficking case that spanned half the country.

There are three suspects and fifteen victims.

The police department has an anti-trafficking office, and fifteen victims is considered a relatively serious case, enough to attract their attention.

After receiving the order, Chen Yi selected personnel to join the investigation team mainly composed of Ningcheng police. In forty days, they went to twenty-two cities in five provinces and successfully arrested three suspects after a long period of surveillance.

It is worth mentioning that one of the suspects was reported by villagers. When the police arrived, the car windows were all shattered and the suspect was half dead, having been beaten very badly.

When asked who hit him, he couldn't explain clearly.

When asked who the stick belonged to, he didn't know.

There is no way to deal with the situation if the law does not hold everyone responsible. Dozens of villagers caught the human traffickers and beat them to death. It is difficult for the police to handle this situation and there might be a big chaos.

The leading detective Ningcheng also had children at home and was equally furious at the human traffickers. Seeing that he could not find the perpetrators of the assault, he asked an ambulance to take the perpetrators away, stayed in the village to give them a verbal education, and then left.

When writing the report, it said that the suspect tried to run away and the villagers tried to stop him, then the suspect took action and the villagers acted in self-defense.

Ningcheng detachment leader Xie Yunzhi knew the truth clearly, and after communicating with Chen Yi, he did not expose the truth, so the beating was in vain.

"Just stay alive."

Chen Yi said four words.

Being caught on the spot and being alive is already good enough. If the police had arrived later, the suspect would not have to stand trial, and accordingly, the villagers who took action would also be held accountable.

Being dead and being alive are two different things.

Arresting the suspect is only the first step. The second step is to find the abducted children, which is no small project.

It took about two months in total.

One of the boys was from Yangcheng and was a technician at a construction company.

Coincidentally, the boy was sold to Linqi Village, Ningcheng, which is Zuoqiu Anqing's hometown, in his early years.

Chen Yi really thought it was quite evil.

Among the 60,000 villages in the country, Linqie Village happened to be the one.

However, after an in-depth investigation this time, it was found that Linqi Village does have certain characteristics. The demand for children is relatively high, so the trade is rampant.

As the saying goes, where there is demand, there is trade. A prosperous village does not have such a problem.

In what kind of places does the practice of buying children occur frequently?

Excluding those who are infertile and those who desire a son or a daughter, most of them live in poor, remote areas and poor mountainous areas.

These places have low fertility rates and lack good medical conditions, so they can only rely on buying and selling to fulfill their wishes.

Under poor social treatment and living environment, their fate is often very tragic.

Since he had found out about Linqi Village, Chen Yi also paid attention to Zuoqiu Anqing's family situation. She did not lie about this matter.

The Zuo family has two sons. The problem of favoring boys over girls is still very serious in Dongzhou. For the elderly, boys are the bloodline inheritance and only boys are qualified to inherit the family property. This concept is deeply rooted in some rural areas.

Chen Yi met Zuoqiu Anqing's parents. They were very ordinary rural people, and their family life was just better than making ends meet.

When it comes to Zuo Cuili, the old couple got very angry and claimed that they had hardly seen their daughter since she went to college. She must have felt that her family was poor because she came to the big city. Even a dog would feel that its family was poor. She didn't know how to be filial at all.

Zuoqiu Anqing did not lie about this matter. She was resentful because of the unfair treatment she suffered at home. After she was admitted to university, she became more independent and rarely showed up except during the Chinese New Year.

There were even two years when I didn't even go home for New Year's Eve.

However, Zuoqiu Anqing said that her parents were not good to her and that was why she didn't go home. Chen Yi felt that this was a bit too much.

During the conversation with the other party's parents, he could see that the old couple did value their son more, but they were far from disdainful of their daughter, let alone treating her as a cash cow.

After Chen Yi mentioned that Zuoqiu Anqing was now his friend's girlfriend, the first thing the old couple asked about was not Jiang Fanlei's financial situation, but his character and occupation.

This shows that they hope Zuoqiu Anqing can marry into a good family instead of asking for a dowry.

"Uncle and aunt, don't worry, my friend is absolutely reliable."

Of course Chen Yi had to speak well of Jiang Fanlei. What if it really happened in the future?

"That's good." The old couple felt relieved.

After complaining about their daughter's ungratefulness, they asked Zuoqiu Anqing how she was doing in Yangcheng, which shows that they still care about their daughter.

On this point, Zuoqiu Anqing is wrong.

Perhaps, it was the comparison that made her feel inferior to her parents' two sons? After all, everything is afraid of comparison, and even the best things can be better.

If this is not the case, then Zuoqiu Anqing lied to Jiang Fanlei once again, playing the victim in order to gain sympathy and forgiveness.

It is difficult to answer this question.

I just felt that I was not living a good life and no one could say anything.

Chen Yi chatted with the old couple for a long time, and got to know Zuoqiu Anqing better and better. He finally came to a conclusion: Zuoqiu Anqing really just disliked his family's poverty.

Without going out and seeing it with your own eyes, you will never be able to appreciate how rich and colorful the outside world is. Zuoqiu Anqing is the only college student in her family. When she went to Yangcheng, she felt a strong contrast in her heart.

Also, it seemed that her high school friends all came from well-off families, which gave Zuoqiu Anqing a sense of inferiority and made her hope to become a superior person one day.

Basically clear.

Zuoqiu Anqing doesn't have any bad intentions, she just wants to pursue a better life, but her character is not good and she lacks a grateful heart.

After all, your parents have sent you to college. As long as you are not mentally ill, you would not stay away from home for years.

Before leaving, Chen Yi also met Zuoqiu Anqing's elder brother and younger brother. The two missed Zuoqiu Anqing very much and asked Chen Yi to tell them that they would come back to celebrate the New Year this year.

Chen Yi hinted that Zuoqiu Anqing's current boyfriend was quite rich, but the two did not react much. The younger brother even said that it didn't matter as long as he could make his sister happy.

Very simple.

After making sure that his parents and brothers had no intention of exploiting the only college student in the family, Chen Yi's impression of this girl became worse and worse.

He kind of wanted to break up the couple.

If Jiang Fanlei married her, he would probably have a hard time.

Xie Yunzhi had been following Chen Yi and now he understood. After leaving the village, the two started chatting.

"In fact, we all have the tendency to despise the poor and love the rich, and it's normal to favor boys over girls." Xie Yunzhi said, "But not knowing how to be grateful is a bit too much. I suggest you ask your friend to investigate more.

It's such a coincidence that the kidnapped child and your friend's girlfriend are from the same village."

Chen Yi handed the other person a cigarette and said, "Who says it's not true? It's hard for a girl who leaves a poor village to want to come back. It's just that she is a little extreme. Alas, the preference for boys over girls in rural areas affects everyone, including children."

Xie Yunzhi nodded: "In many villages, men are regarded as the face of the family, the more the better. Moreover, after women get married, especially those who marry far away, they will invest more emotions and energy in their new family over time, and gradually regard their husband's family as their own hometown, thus paying less attention to their natal family.

In contrast, men, whether married or not, usually maintain their affection and emotional connection with their parents’ home, which is why rural parents believe that their son’s home is their own home and their daughter’s home is someone else’s home.

Otherwise, why would you call your daughter's child a grandson? This word "wai" reveals the essence of the matter."

Chen Yi agreed: "Yes, whether in rural or urban areas, men are considered the breadwinners of the family, and we have to admit that men have more advantages in making money.

When it comes to making money to support a family, everyone naturally thinks it is a man's job. I've never heard that women are responsible for making money to support the family, while men are responsible for being beautiful.

There are also cultural customs such as ancestor worship, which are usually performed by men, right? Married women rarely participate in tomb sweeping activities, and this culture further strengthens the concept of favoring boys over girls. "

Xie Yunzhi: "Women also have advantages in many aspects. It is unfair not to single them out for comparison."

Chen Yi smiled and said, "This topic is a bit deep. Let's go. It's time to close the case. I've been exhausted these past few months. Fortunately, everything has been resolved."

After the case was settled, Chen Yi handed over the task of finding the relatives to the local police station. Needless to say, the scene must have been so touching that people cried with joy.

The main culprit was sentenced to death.

The time came to June.

Jiang Fanlei should be ready. Chen Yi has arranged the work in advance and tried his best to ensure that he can participate fully and not be called away midway.
