Xishan Bridge is a famous landmark in Qiaocheng.

This bridge was built later, and it became the internet celebrity bridge in Bridge City because of the movie "The Unknown". Many tourists came here because they watched this movie.

The beauty sitting by the bridge leaned over and looked at Jianjiang River and looked a little dazed.

Luo Sen asked softly: "Shen Da, what are you thinking?"

In the afternoon, I had nothing to do and felt like I was going to see the Xishan Bridge. In fact, he had been here before, but he liked the feeling of sitting on the bridge and watching the surging rivers flowing.

"In fact, sometimes when facing such nature, you will feel that humans are really small." Chen Chen suddenly said this.

Luo Sen coughed lightly, and he really didn't know how to answer the deep feelings.

But then Chen Chen also came out of his thoughts: "What do you think of that Hou Xiaoqiang?"

Rosen thought for a while and said, "A person with such ability will never be willing to be a green leaf for others, especially the income of being an assistant is very different from his own."

This is right. It is easy for a famous barrister to earn a small million a year, but the assistant can only get a salary and commission, and it is up to people to decide how much he can get.

Even if Hou Xiaoqiang cannot reach the big level for the time being and accumulates some experience and connections independently, he can earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, and he doesn't have to rely on others to breathe. However, he is willing to be an assistant to Feng Shuo, which is indeed a bit confusing.

"Hou Xiaoqiang is able to fully grasp the first-hand information of the case handled by Feng Shuo." Chen Chen expressed his suspicion.

Rosen nodded: "And with his ability, he should know better than others how to avoid police investigations."

He smiled heavily. Luo Sen was able to keep up with his own ideas, but these were their guesses. They had no evidence at all. At least they could not even guess why Hou Xiaoqiang did this and what the motive was.

"Shen Da, we won't sit here for an afternoon, right?" Seeing that it was already past three o'clock, I shook my head heavily: "I made an appointment with someone and met here."

Luo Sen was a little surprised. He didn't know that Chenchen had made an appointment. He said awkwardly: "Then is it appropriate for me to stay here?"

"If there is anything wrong, you can see it together. The relationship between this person and Hou Xiaoqiang is a bit special."

Luo Sen never thought that Chenchen could find someone who had something to do with Hou Xiaoqiang. It seemed that Chenchen really planned to work hard on this Hou Xiaoqiang.

As a result, he became a little uneasy: "Shen Da, these are just our guesses. If it is wrong, Hou Xiaoqiang will know that we are secretly investigating him, maybe he might have any ideas."

He said quietly: "Don't worry, he won't know."

As he was talking, a man in his fifties walked towards them. The man had a smile on his face. He looked at Chen: "Are you Xiao Shen?" Chen Chen also stood up quickly, nodded and smiled, stretched out his hand at the man: "Hello, Dean Du."

Luo Sen was a little confused. He didn't expect that the person Chen Chen had made a appointment would be such a half-old man. He heard Chen Chen call him Dean Du, but he didn't know what kind of dean it was.

Seeing Luo Sen's appearance, Chen Chen introduced: "This is Dean Du of Qiaocheng Fangyuan Orphanage."

President Du said a little embarrassedly: "It's the former president. I didn't become the president two years ago. When I get old, I have to let young people carry more burdens."

Luo Sen is still a little overwhelmed. What is the relationship between the director of the orphanage and Hou Xiaoqiang?

"Old He told me about your situation. He said you are a policeman and work in Lincheng. He also said that you have something to do to understand the situation from me. Xiao Shen, I don't know much about the provincial capital. Have you made a mistake?"

It was the first time Chenchen met Dean Du. He smiled: "Director Du, I want to know someone. He came from your orphanage, named Hou Xiaoqiang."

"Xiaoqiang?" President Du seemed a little surprised: "What did you ask him? Isn't he doing well in a lawyer?"

He pursed his lips deeply, and he felt a little abrupt when he came to Dean Du directly. He also heard that Dean Du liked Hou Xiaoqiang very much. Before Hou Xiaoqiang left the orphanage, he took good care of Hou Xiaoqiang. In other words, the relationship between the two was really good. He would definitely have any ideas about Hou Xiaoqiang when he asked him about Hou Xiaoqiang, and he would not guarantee that he would tell Hou Xiaoqiang what he met today.

But everyone has made an appointment and has entrusted the relationship. Can't we give up now?

He said, "He's nothing, we just want to know him a little."

President Du lowered his face: "Xiao Shen, don't lie to me. I still know something about you police. If it weren't for something, how could you want to know him? Tell me honestly, is it that Xiaoqiang encountered something?"

Chen Chen was helpless: "It's really not. It's just that because a case may be dealing with Lawyer Hou, I want to know more and know what way to get along with me at that time."

After hearing what he said, President Du's face became a little more open. President Du also knew that it was normal for a lawyer to deal with the police, especially for some criminal cases, that could not be avoided by the police. He nodded: "So that's the case, in fact, there is nothing to pay attention to. Xiaoqiang is still very principled and never likes to do evil things. His ambition since childhood was to be a lawyer, and he said that he could benefit society. He also said that he was not a lawyer to make a lot of money, but to be able to use his own legal knowledge to maintain the fairness and dignity of the law."

President Du's words were full of admiration for Hou Xiaoqiang.

Rosen said: "Director Du, when did he go to the orphanage?"

"It was probably eight or nine years old. When he entered the orphanage, he was a little older. I asked him to help us take care of those younger brothers and sisters. He was also very obedient. He could do almost everything he asked him to help with. He was studious. You also know that the conditions of the orphanage were not good at that time. Although we also had primary school courses, our teaching staff could not be compared with those major primary and secondary schools. Just me, a secondary school student, but he had to teach them two or three courses or main courses. I know my own level. If I don't speak far, I will not be able to speak Mandarin, so what kind of students can I teach? But he is very successful. He completed his elementary and junior high school studies in the orphanage. We can only teach until we graduate from junior high school, but he was admitted to Qiaocheng No. 1 Middle School with excellent results."

He nodded heavily. Although Dean Du said it a little simple, he also knew that it would be a great thing to be admitted to Qiaocheng No. 1 Middle School under such conditions. Even many parents in the provincial capital knew that Qiaocheng No. 1 Middle School, if you can get into Qiaocheng No. 1 Middle School, it would be equivalent to having one foot on the university campus.

In recent years, the annual admission rate of Qiaocheng No. 1 Middle School has reached more than 80%. Almost all the remaining ones can be admitted to the second-tier university. Except for those who are really unwilling to study at all, they will be able to get into a university no matter what.

"Then why was he sent to the orphanage?" Luo Sen was more concerned about Hou Xiaoqiang's past.

Judging from the murderer's hatred for which type of women, the murderer must have had some unbearable experiences that caused his psychological distortion, so he committed crimes specifically against which type of women.

"I don't know much about this. It seems that something big happened at home. I heard the director of the teaching at that time mention it. By the way, he said that there was another man outside. His father was angry and killed his mother with a knife, and he also committed suicide by drinking pesticides. He left behind two children, he and his brother, who seemed to have someone adopt him. He was older, so no one was willing to adopt him, and he was finally sent to our orphanage."

With his eyes squinting heavily, he didn't expect Hou Xiaoqiang to have such a life experience.

Rosen asked, "Where is his brother now?"

"I don't know, when he was in the orphanage before, he asked us to help find it, but the adopted person seemed to have moved, so he didn't find it. In short, he went to a very far place. His younger brother was only three years old, seven years younger than him, and he didn't remember much at all. He remembered his younger brother, but his younger brother might have forgotten that he had an older brother. Until the last year when I met him, he was still asking about his younger brother. He told me that he still hadn't found it. The adoption record at that time could not be found for some reasons, which became a knot in his heart."

Chen Chen and Luo Sen looked at each other and they could understand Hou Xiaoqiang's feelings of wanting to find his younger brother. His parents were dead and they became orphans. In addition, they had no other relatives, so his younger brother was his only close relative. He was the older brother, so naturally he was worried that his younger brother would suffer outside, so it was normal to find him.

Especially now, Hou Xiaoqiang has a certain economic foundation, and it is reasonable that he hopes to give his younger brother a good life.

However, Chen Chen is more concerned about Hou Xiaoqiang's parents' death, his mother cheating, and his father killed his wife in anger and then committed suicide. Perhaps this is why Hou Xiaoqiang hated that kind of woman!

"Director Du, what is Hou Xiaoqiang's younger brother's name?"

"Hou Xiaowu, but he should have changed his name after being adopted. I don't know what it is now. Alas, these brothers are really pitiful. Hou Xiaoqiang didn't want Xiaowu to leave at that time. He even wanted Xiaowu to stay in the orphanage, but considering that the conditions of life and study may be much worse, he had to let Xiaowu leave in the end. Who knew that he would never see him again after separation. Xiaoqiang was very worried and liked to keep everything in his heart and was unwilling to communicate with others. The past two years have been a little better, and he has become much cheerful with Lawyer Feng. We were very worried before, for fear that he would suffer from depression or something. However, this disease did not seem to be very popular in those years, and it was okay."

Luo Sen wanted to laugh when he heard this. He knew that it was not that depression was not popular in those years, but that it was not taken seriously. Paying attention to mental health was indeed only something that only happened in recent years. Even psychology has only developed slowly in China in recent years.

"Xiao Shen, Xiaoqiang is a good person. He has never done anything bad. Even when he was a child, he has always been able to self-discipline well in the orphanage. It's not me that Xiaoqiang's child was grown up with my own eyes, so he will never have any problems." In fact, President Du was still a little suspicious in his heart. It was not a good thing for the police to find Hou Xiaoqiang.

He nodded heavily and vigorously: "Director Du, don't worry, there's nothing. But it's best not to tell him what we're talking about today, and not to let him have any thoughts."

Dean Du also nodded. He was thinking that way in his heart, and he didn't want Hou Xiaoqiang to have anything to do.

I chatted with Dean Du for more than ten minutes casually before ending the conversation.

On the way back, Rosen said: "Did we find the motive for his crime? A person with such a life experience may really hate society and unfaithful women, so he will even attribute his parents' death to this aspect from the bottom of his heart, thus killing such a woman."

"It is possible that both parents die, brothers separate, and even know where the younger brother is. He is indeed miserable. But we still cannot make arbitrary decisions. The most important thing is that we must find some evidence."

"Will we have to grasp a certain degree when we go to see Hou Xiaoqiang tomorrow?"

​​I felt deeply and thought that I could master the degree. Hou Xiaoqiang himself was a lawyer, and Feng Shuo stood behind him. Judging from Feng Shuo's attitude towards him, he was Feng Shuo's treasure. If Hou Xiaoqiang really wanted to offend Hou Xiaoqiang, let alone Hou Xiaoqiang would attack, Feng Shuo might not be able to do so.

Although Feng Shuo is very polite to him, it is because he has not harmed his interests and his feelings. However, it is hard to say whether Feng Shuo will turn against him for Hou Xiaoqiang. One Hou Xiaoqiang is already very difficult to deal with. In addition, the other Feng Shuo, if he really offended two people to death without any evidence, then he is just trying to die.

Being targeted by a big deal is not fun.

Before she arrived at the guesthouse, the phone rang. It was Ouyang Nana who called. She said that she had arranged dinner and asked Chenchen and Luosen to go directly to Lao Kaili sour soup fish. Although this is a special flavor in southwestern Guizhou, it is not uncommon in Qiaocheng. After all, the two prefectures are adjacent to each other.

"Where did you all go all afternoon?" Ouyang Nana asked.

Chenchen replied: "Xishan Bridge, it seems that I have told you."

Ouyang Nana rolled her eyes: "You said it, but do you think I believe you can stay on that bridge for the whole afternoon? The bridge can be seen in just one glance. Have you been there since two o'clock in the afternoon and been there until now?"

Chenchen and the others have been there until now, but if they really want to say that, Ouyang Nana must not believe it.

"We met someone." Chenchen felt that there was nothing to hide, so he told Ouyang Nana about the meeting with Dean Du. After hearing this, she said, "Are you investigating Hou Xiaoqiang?" There was an incredible expression on her face, and she paused and continued, "You can't doubt Hou Xiaoqiang, right? If that's the case, I think you might have made a mistake. Hou Xiaoqiang is a very good person and has a sense of justice. Although he is Feng Shuo's right-hand assistant, he never messes around outside under the banner of Feng Shuo. So you keep your heart in your stomach."

It seems that Hou Xiaoqiang has a good impression, and even Ouyang Nana has to help him speak.

"We don't just doubt him, but we will doubt anyone who may be the murderer."

"Okay, I have made an appointment with Hou Xiaoqiang. We will go directly to his office tomorrow morning. However, when I was on the phone, I seemed to hear Feng Shuo's voice. It seemed that Feng Shuo was very uncomfortable with this matter. Be careful when the next day, no matter what, you must give Feng Shuo a face. If it is not very necessary, try not to touch Hou Xiaoqiang."
