Half an hour later, the property owner came back and told us that this house was bought by Liu Ruijie, Seven years ago, the transaction price of this 70-square-meter house was about 500,000 yuan. But since then, the price of this house has at least doubled.

But if this house was bought by Liu Ruijie with all the money, then where did a gambler with countless foreign debts get such a large sum of money? If Liu Ruijie used 500,000 yuan to buy real estate, how did he repay the gambling debts he owed?

"Did anyone come to Liu Ruijie's house to cause trouble in the past seven years?" I asked again.

The property staff thought for a moment and said to me, "No, if someone made trouble, then we would have known. But this resident has lived here for so long, and we have only seen him a few times. So things like that never happened, and the security of our community, is actually quite good. "

"There's no surveillance in the corridors." I said, "What a bum. Would people have died if the security had been good enough? "

The property staff said, embarrassedly, "These buildings were built decades ago. How can there be surveillance in such an old building? "

But this is the problem. If Liu Ruijie owes a lot of foreign debts, it is impossible to live here for seven years without incident. It's not like the people in the casino were so kind that they never came to ask for debts for seven years. If so, then this society would really become very harmonious.

It is absolutely impossible for casinos or loan sharks to let Liu Ruijie live comfortably in this big house. This shows that Liu Ruijie must have cleared all foreign debts before buying a house. The foreign debt plus the full amount of the house is almost one million.

If this is the case, did Liu Ruijie get the one million yuan on the policy by himself?

Hu Pei may have hooked up with Jiang Xiaochun at that time, but Lu Zhiqiu did not agree to break up with Hu Pei. Hu Pei was a little irritable at the time, and at that time, Liu Ruijie found Hu Pei and said that he could make Lu Zhiqiu disappear, and the reward was one million in the insurance policy.

In order to get rid of Lu Zhiqiu as soon as possible, Hu Pei agreed to Liu Ruijie's proposal. At first, Hu Pei might not have realised the seriousness of the matter. When Lu Zhiqiu died, Hu Pei panicked. In order to hide his fear, he quickly married Jiang Xiaochun and had children.

But no matter how many years pass, Hu Pei will never forget this incident. Hu Pei always thought that Lu Zhiqiu's death had something to do with him, so when the murderer came back to take revenge, he thought it was Lu Zhiqiu who was back to take revenge. The murderer used some small tricks to frighten Hu Pei to death.

If that's the case, it doesn't make sense. I shook my head and stopped thinking about it. In the absence of any evidence, it seems that, no matter from which angle, it would not make sense to speculate on Lu Zhiqiu's case from seven years ago.

But now we have only found a few suspects. In fact, whether it's the workers who participated in the internship or that construction site, they were actually suspected of committing crimes. In the end, there is no way to know what happened back then; we have to find out more about the situation.

For the next few days, we can only wait for the news that Grandma will be holding a class reunion. In fact, there should be some other news from Jiang Xiaochun. But as Zhao Mingkun and I, if we go back again, we might end up in the pocket designed by Xiao Liu.

Zhao Mingkun told me before,

'Never think of yourself as the smartest.'

Thinking about Xiao Liu, I really think Zhao Mingkun's words are a prophecy.

Every day, Zhao Mingkun would travel to different locations to call their grandmother to inquire about the reunion of Hu Pei and other graduating class classmates. And today, Zhao Mingkun finally got the exact date of the class reunion: two days later. Since it was organised by the mentor of the year, there are a few people who are sure to go.

There are three professional classes of about 120 people, and it is estimated that half of them can participate.

The grandmother told Zhao Mingkun over the phone that five people who were interning at the construction site could not participate. These people left Dongxing City after graduation. Seven years later, they don't know where they are, and their mobile phone numbers and home numbers are not correct. There is basically no way to get in touch.

But this is also a normal thing. After all, time has passed too long. However, in addition to Hu Pei and Jiang Xiaochun, as well as five other people, there were thirteen people who were interns at the construction site that year. And these thirteen people all said that they would be able to be present that day, and among the thirteen people, seven were girls and four were boys.

The grandmother told Zhao Mingkun that seven years later, many of these thirteen people are married, and not a few have children. Only three people are still single, and one of them is Wang Yikai, who was crazy about Lu Zhiqiu. It's just that it is still unclear what the reason for Wang Yikai's singleness is.

However, everything will be clear when the class reunion takes place.

Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and in the blink of an eye, it was time for the civil engineering students to get together. The venue for the party was the Royal Garden Hotel, one of the best hotels in Dongxing City. This is a five-star hotel. With so many people, one night's consumption is probably in the hundreds of thousands.

It was the first time I came to such a hotel, and I couldn't help feeling a little nervous and a little excited.

When we saw the grandmother outside the hotel, she told us that seven years had passed, and many of these students had wealth in the tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions. Today, a few classmates took the top floor of the Royal Garden Hotel. The top floor has a swimming pool, an indoor gym, a basketball court, and a place to sing, dance, eat, and go to bed.

I may not be able to attend such a reception once in my life. After being led in by grandmother, I ate until I was stuffed. Even though I was ten years younger than these people, they didn't express any opinion on me, and they probably thought that someone had brought their younger brother.

Not half of the meal was eaten. In the open-air venue on the top floor, the old grandmother stood on the central platform. On the left stood a few men who looked like suits and leather shoes, and on the right stood a few dignified and beautiful women. It seems that these people should be the class cadre in that year.

Zhao Mingkun patted my shoulder and pulled out the little leg that I was about to put in my mouth.

"The thirteen people at the time were among these fifty people." Zhao Mingkun handed me a napkin and said, "You have eaten enough, and you will blow your stomach if you eat any more. Well, those thirteen people. "

The grandmother and several class cadres on the stage seemed to be still reminiscing about the long years of the past, and the classmates under the stage also listened very carefully. Some of them have become rich, while others can barely make a living. There

are several suites in Dongxing City. Some of them can't even afford a house, some have a car, and some walk.

But no matter what their identities are, at this moment, they are all the students of the grandmother and the other's college classmates.

Zhao Mingkun took me up to the second floor of the top floor. This is a protruding platform for people to drink coffee and watch the night view. At that moment, Zhao Mingkun and I were watching the crowd. From above, we were in a position to see the profiles of these people.

Zhao Mingkun showed me the thirteen people one by one, and I remembered the positions of the thirteen people.

After remembering the locations of these people, Zhao Mingkun actually found a professional camera in a room on the second floor, just like a camera used for filming.

I frowned and asked suspiciously, "What's going on? Why do you have all this stuff? "

Zhao Mingkun smiled and said, "When I was on the phone before, I thought of a good method. When that time comes, you should pay attention to it. "

Seeing Zhao Mingkun's mysterious appearance, I don't know what Zhao Mingkun discussed with the grandmother.

Zhao Mingkun adjusted the position of the camera to ensure that everyone could be included in the camera frame. Zhao Mingkun didn't know what button to press, and the camera shot sometimes became longer and shorter. After a while, Zhao Mingkun said, "No problem, we can see it clearly."

At this moment, listening to the words of the old grandmother, I really feel that I am back in class; I can fall asleep while sitting. Just when I was groggy, Zhao Mingkun slapped me on the head and said, "Look carefully at these people."

Then, the grandmother's voice suddenly became clear, and the sound of chanting a scripture disappeared.

The old grandmother said sternly, "Dongxing University is one of the best schools in the country, and the students who go out from Dongxing University are not the mainstay of various industries. Some of you have become rich, and some of you have entered officialdom. With the skin of Dongxing University, it's not that they can't even get enough food and clothing."

The crowd listened quietly.

The grandmother continued, "People say that if you come out of Dongxing University, you won't have to worry about finding a job or earning money in your life. I know that many of you came in with this mentality back then. But in the four years of going in and out, you can always see the eight characters outside the school gate: the highest kindness is like water, and the great virtues carry things. "

"No matter what the time." The grandmother said, "Quality is always more important than ability. Some of today's students know, some don't, that seven years ago, a girl in our major was brutally murdered. It's been seven years since it made headlines, and almost everyone has forgotten about it.I'm afraid that the murderer who is still at large has also forgotten. Seven years ago,

after a pause, the grandmother finally said the person's name: "How on earth did Lu Zhiqiu die!"

Lu Zhiqiu's name was spoken, and with a gust of cold wind, everyone shuddered. Zhao Mingkun was slowly panning the camera, recording everyone in the lens, out of the corner of my eye.

After a while, I heard the grandmother continue, "In a while, I will ask some classmates who may have known about it to stay. Of course, this is not to suspect that you are the murderer. It's just that seven years have passed, and some things should be settled. We can't let classmate Lu Zhiqiu die like this, it's not clear. "
