After a night's rest, Chen Yuzhi's health improved. Jiang Yuelou took care of him for another whole night and helped him apply medicine and bandages, but he didn't know who was the real doctor.
He saw him sitting on the steps outside the door and teasing the little white cat, so he sat down beside him.
Jiang Yuelou stroked the smooth fur of the little white cat, and observed his face from the side: "How do you feel?"
"It's better." In fact, it's still not very good. He is a doctor, and he is very clear about his injury, but he just doesn't want to worry the person in front of him.
"You still have to rest. Don't go to Yu Zhitang these days, and have a good rest. After I check it out, you can go back to the medical center."
Chen Yuzhi nodded obediently.
The two sat quietly for a while, only the little white cat jumped up and down on them, very noisy.
"You fell ill again last night." Chen Yuzhi thought for a while, knowing that he was impatient to mention this, he still said it.
"I know."
He looked at him sideways, his eyes were sincere and firm: "I can help you."
"I'm dead." Jiang Yuelou's face became gloomy again when he mentioned this, and he got up to leave.
Chen Yuzhi hurriedly pulled him back: "Blindly escaping is not the answer, Jiang Yuelou, believe me, tell me your past, open your heart knot, otherwise you will only live in pain."
His past was so unbearable and heart-wrenching, he never thought of telling anyone.
Jiang Yuelou raised her head and closed her eyes, feeling extremely conflicted in her heart. He could feel that Chen Yuzhi's hand that was holding onto his sleeve hadn't let go, as stubborn as if he didn't agree and kept pulling it down.
"Chen Yuzhi, can I trust you?"
It took a long time for Chen Yuzhi to hear such a sentence. His voice was filled with fatigue, restraint and pain, and it was so hoarse that it made his heart soften.
He stood up, looked into Jiang Yuelou's eyes, and nodded solemnly.
The tough man in front of him suddenly relaxed, his originally upright body seemed to have lost his muscles and bones, and he stretched out his hands to support his shoulders, supporting himself from falling.
He opened his mouth with difficulty, and with the other hand hanging by his side, the fingertips pinched his palm fiercely, almost leaving a bloodstain.
"My original name was Kang Sheng'an."
Knowing that he had entered the state, Chen Yuzhi quickly supported him and asked him to choose a comfortable position. He stayed by his side and listened to every word he said.
Jiang Yuelou was lying on the grass under the tree, his eyes were looking at the sky, but it was empty, without focus, completely lost in memory.
"I don't have any family anymore, no, none..."
His thoughts quickly regressed in his mind, back to the past that he dared not face.
Once, he had a mother who loved him very much, but he didn't have a responsible father. He even got addicted to drugs and ruined his entire childhood.
His mother was ruined by his father who gave it to other men for a small box of opium cream, and ignored the humiliation suffered by his mother.
The money his mother worked so hard to save for his education was taken away abruptly, and beatings were commonplace, even for a child as young as him.
Three years passed like this, and finally one day, my mother couldn't bear it anymore.
That year, he was only eleven years old.
On his birthday, his mother cooked for him a bowl of birthday noodles with a soft-boiled egg buried in it. Seeing him finish eating happily with tears in her eyes, she ran away from home and never came back.
Some people say that she committed suicide by jumping into the sea and died. It was also said that she remarried and went to Japan. He still doesn't know if his mother is still alive, or if he still remembers having a son like him.
Jiang Yuelou was very calm when he spoke, but he, who had never shown weakness in front of outsiders, was already in tears. He tilted his head, not wanting Chen Yuzhi to see his fragility.
"Yes. Somewhere in the world, she must still be alive, well and securely. Maybe one day, she will come back and cook you a bowl of birthday noodles on your birthday." Chen Yuzhi empathized with his pain, reached out to pat him on the shoulder, but held back forcefully.
He needs to carefully protect Jiang Yuelou's fragility, otherwise he doesn't know when he will open his heart next time.
Jiang Yuelou wiped her face, "No, if she is still alive, I hope she forgets me and the pain her father brought her. As long as she is safe and happy, that's enough."
"What about your father?" Chen Yuzhi asked.
Jiang Yuelou laughed a few times, with a bit of desolation, and a bit of relief: "Dead. He died within less than a year after my mother left."
He still remembered that day when he came home from school, as soon as he entered the house, he saw his father lying on his side on the bed, his posture was stiff, his face was pale, his eye sockets were blue, and he was lying on the small table with his eyes wide open. cigarette.
He's dead, from a drug overdose.
"He died from an overdose of opium, hehe, it's not painful, it's also a relief for him." Jiang Yuelou sneered.
"At that time, you were only twelve years old."
"Well. Soon, those usury creditors came to ask for the money my father borrowed during his lifetime. Even the dilapidated house was occupied to pay off the debt."
Chen Yuzhi's heart ached slightly, and it was hard to imagine how such a young child could survive without his parents and home.
"Haven't you thought about leaving Jingcheng?"
Jiang Yuelou shook his head slightly, and the two were quiet for a moment. Just when Chen Yuzhi thought he would stop talking, he heard him suddenly say, "I'm afraid she won't find me when she comes back."
The young Jiang Yuelou was dressed in rags, his shoes were torn, and his toes were exposed. The stains and blood were mixed together, and he was dark. He lived the life of a little beggar.
He often stared at the food in front of the hawker with a hungry stomach, and was driven away by the other party with disgust.
On the way, I met a good son from a good family, Jinyi Yushi, who took a candied haws and threw it on the ground after a few mouthfuls. There were several little beggars on the side of the road staring eagerly, just waiting for the candied haws to fall to the ground and grabbing them to eat.
His eyes were red with hunger, and he rushed forward recklessly, grabbing the half bunch of candied haws first. Several other little beggars grabbed him and robbed him. He was thin and small, and his young body was beaten again and again, but he always protected the candied haws in his arms, his eyes were fierce, and he would never let him go.
As a result, his clothes were torn and his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, but he didn't care about these things. He hid in a seldom-populated alley and devoured the looted candied haws, even if it was covered with a layer of dust. .
Because he knows that he wants to live.
The threat to his life is not only hunger, but also the creditors chasing him. He often snatched food fiercely to eat, but was discovered by the creditor before he took a few bites, so he had to stuff all the food into his mouth, chew and run away in the opposite direction.
He has completely changed, his eyes are no longer innocent, but with a fierceness that is not commensurate with his age.
Jiang Yuelou was immersed in memories, her breathing was heavy, and her emotions became more and more out of control. The knuckles of his fingers turned white, and he grabbed the grass on the ground tightly, almost uprooting them.
Chen Yuzhi noticed his abnormality, and hurriedly got up and squatted in front of him, dragging him out of the quagmire of pain.
"Facing the past, you did."
Jiang Yuelou opened his eyes and looked up at Chen Yuzhi in the backlight. The figure wrapped in the sun was tall and warm, alleviating the depression in his heart. He twitched the corners of his mouth, but there was still no smile in his eyes, and he lost focus when he looked into the void.
"is that useful?"
"certainly."
Jiang Yuelou turned his gaze back, looked into Chen Yuzhi's sincere eyes, and nodded slightly.
In the exhibition mansion a few miles away, Yu Tangchun lay on the bed and slowly opened his eyes. There was a burst of pain at the stabbed place, but it was quickly overwhelmed by joy. He noticed that he was in Zhan Mansion, not Tianyun Garden, a calculated smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, but his eyes were complicated and cold.
Outside the door, there were footsteps and the sound of Zhan Junbai talking with the servant.
"How is he?"
"Back to the director, I woke up at about eleven o'clock last night. Doctor Yang changed the medicine and fell asleep again. Doctor Yang said that there is nothing serious, and I need to rest for a while."
The door creaked open, and Yutangchun immediately closed his eyes, pretending to be still asleep.
Zhan Junbai walked to the bed, glanced at Yutangchun's pale face, and said to the servant: "Order the kitchen to make some soup that nourishes qi and nourishes the blood. Warm it on the stove. Boss Yu will bring it over when he wakes up."
Sensing that he was about to leave, Yu Tangchun pretended to just wake up, slowly opened his eyes, and said in a weak voice, "Director Zhan?"
Zhan Junbai turned his head and smiled gratifiedly: "Are you awake?"
Yutangchun's eyes were blank, he seemed to be in a daze, and he didn't know where he was: "This is... the Zhan Mansion?"
"Yes. You were injured yesterday, and the situation is very critical. My place is the closest, so it's more convenient to send it here." Zhan Junbai left in no hurry, and sat down on the chair beside the bed.
Yutangchun felt the pain in the wound and tried to raise his hand to touch it.
Zhan Junbai stopped him, "The wound has just been bandaged, don't move around. I wronged you this time, and took the knife for me."
Yutangchun put his hand back calmly, looked at Zhan Junbai and shook his head: "My humble life is nothing, as long as Director Zhan is fine."
Zhan Junbai seemed to be a little moved: "I have greeted the class leader at Tianyun Garden, and asked you to stay in the Zhan Mansion to recuperate, and we will talk about it when you recover from your injury."
"Unfortunately, I won't be able to sing for a while."
Zhan Junbai recalled Chen Yuzhi's words that it might be difficult for Yutangchun to sing again in the future, so he just smiled: "Don't worry, the body is healthy, and there is more time to sing."
Yutangchun smiled and nodded.
Outside, Qiu Ming knocked on the door, Zhan Junbai told Yu Tangchun to rest more, and went to the living room with Qiu Ming. He sat casually on the sofa, listened to Qiu Ming's report, and asked doubtfully, "Kang Shengan?"
"Yes. The name Jiang Yuelou was changed for him by Bai Jinbo after he brought him into the police station."
Zhan Junbai suddenly became interested: "Interesting. A person who changes his name or surname, either because of some deep hatred, or because he has an ulterior secret. Does he have any family members? Has this kind of emotional out-of-control situation happened before?"
"I don't know. After all, it's a long time ago. It takes time to check."
"Look it up. As an old friend, I should be concerned about his past."
Qiu Ming nodded in response, and remembered another thing: "By the way, Ms. Yuan from Tianyun Garden heard that Boss Yu was injured, so she came here last night, arguing to take care of Boss Yu. Because you are not here, The guard didn't dare to let it in. She came again early this morning and was waiting outside the door. Look..."
Zhan Junbai smiled, very straightforward: "She is sincere to Boss Yu. Let her come in, with someone who can talk with her, she will feel better and recover sooner."
Qiu Ming was ordered to personally go to the guard to bring Yuan Zining in and send him to the guest room where Yu Tangchun was recuperating.
Yuan Zining passed him and rushed to the bed, looked up and down nervously at Yutangchun, grabbed his arm, and said with red eyes, "Brother, you are such an old man, if you don't know how to hide when you see danger, it's none of your business It's a matter of rushing up, if the knife hadn't been stabbed in the shoulder, it would have been stabbed in the heart..." She choked up as she spoke, not noticing that Zhan Junbai also followed into the room. "Are you still alive?"
Yutangchun felt a little soft-hearted when he heard her words, but when he saw Zhan Junbai following in, he smiled bitterly in embarrassment. He patted Yuan Zining's arm reassuringly, then pulled out his hand without any sign of the situation, and persuaded: "Don't cry, don't you see that brother is here well? If you cry again, your eyes will be swollen, and it won't look good."
Yuan Zining laughed through his tears, and wiped away his tears: "What time is it, you still have the heart to make fun of me."
"You brothers and sisters have such a good relationship." Zhan Junbai watched the interaction between the two, and walked slowly to the bed.
"Director Zhan, I'm sorry, Zi Ning is simple-minded, please speak more straightforwardly, don't mind."
When Yuan Zining heard her brother apologize for her, she realized that she had said something wrong just now, and hurriedly bowed to Zhan Junbai to apologize: "I'm sorry, Director Zhan, I didn't blame my brother for meddling in my own business to save you... Uh, No, I mean he should protect himself first when he encounters danger..." The more she said, the more she felt that it was wrong, and the description became darker and darker, and she could only lower her head in frustration: "What am I talking about? I, anyway, I'm sorry. "
"You're right, you should protect yourself when you encounter danger."
Seeing that Zhan Junbai agreed with his point of view, Yuan Zining nodded quickly and said, "That's right, senior brother knows neither kung fu nor shooting. If you encounter danger, you should run away and hide."
Yutangchun laughed speechlessly, looked at the innocent junior sister, and said angrily: "A bunch of nonsense."
"Actually, when you think about it, Zi Ning's words are a little blunt, but they are not unreasonable. Boss Yu, when you get better, I will teach you how to shoot a gun."
Hearing this, Yutangchun's eyes flashed with ecstasy, but he was quickly suppressed by him.
"This..." He pretended to hesitate, seeing that Zhan Junbai reacted naturally, as if it was just a trivial matter, so he agreed. "Then I would be more respectful than obedient."
Yuan Zining clapped his hands happily at the side, and then said to Zhan Junbai: "Director Zhan, I know you are kind-hearted, look, my brother's optical shooting skills are not enough, it seems that there is something missing... "
"Zi Ning!" Yu Tangchun immediately shouted to stop.
Zhan Junbai didn't mind: "Okay, I'll give him another new Browning! This is a good product I found in Europe, and you can't find a second one in China."
"Director Zhan, Zi Ning was just joking. I absolutely cannot accept such a valuable thing." Yu Tangchun hurriedly postponed, thinking that Zhan Junbai must not let Zhan Junbai find out his ambition.
"I, Zhan Junbai, have never regretted what I said, so it can be regarded as a repayment for your life-saving grace."
Speaking of this, Yu Tangchun felt relieved, and insisted on bowing while lying on the bed: "Thank you, Director Zhan."
This Yutangchun has finally fulfilled his wish. Not only did he get closer to Zhan Junbai's intersection, but he also learned how to shoot a gun, getting closer and closer to the revenge plan in his heart.
On the other end, Chu Ran had a big quarrel with his family, rented an apartment with someone alone, found a job, applied what he learned, and worked for Jingcheng Newspaper.
It's just that she never expected that her roommate Zhong Yiren, who had a bad personality, was actually her colleague. What surprised her even more was that her first interviewee was Jiang Yuelou, the Inspection Section of the police station.
She looked at the information handed over by her senior Yu Sinian, and caressed Jiang Yuelou's photo with her fingers, her cheeks were stained with a blush.
The scenes of Hong Kong and the first intimate contact after returning to Jingcheng appeared in her mind again, and she could no longer be as calm as water.
When Chu Ran returned to the apartment, Zhong Yiren just came back with the clothes she had just bought, humming a song in a good mood. It's just that the happy expression on his face suddenly changed to embarrassment after seeing her.
The two entered the room, sat in the living room together, and had a serious chat for the first time.
Zhong Yiren seemed to complain: "Why didn't you tell me that you also work at Jingcheng Newspaper?"
"Did you give me time to talk last time? I didn't even have time to say my name."
When they met for the first time, Zhong Yiren was arrogant and didn't take Chu Ran seriously at all.
"Okay, anyway, we will not violate the water in the future. Except when the newspaper office encounters it, I still have this attitude in private."
Chu Ran thought this person was really interesting, and laughed speechlessly: "Aren't you tired like this?"
"I'm happy. I don't want to be friends with you. You are sloppy and don't dress up well. You don't look rich. We can't play together. Why bother?"
As Zhong Yiren said, she got up and walked to the room with her clothes and other things in her hands. Suddenly, a file bag was torn, and the photos in it fell all over the floor.
She was so nervous that she even threw aside the bag of clothes, and hurriedly squatted down to pick it up. Seeing her in a hurry, Chu Ran stepped forward to help without thinking too much.
"Don't worry about it, I'll do it myself!" She had just picked one up, but Zhong Yiren immediately stopped her.
But Chu Ran didn't stop, her eyes were already attracted by the content of the photo.
The background in the photo is in a cafe, where Kim Dae-sung in plain clothes and a pretty woman are whispering intimately and whispering to each other. The woman with her hairstyle looks like a married woman.
"Jin Dacheng?" Chu Ran lost his voice in astonishment.
Zhong Yiren tried to grab it: "Give it back to me!"
With this approach, not only did Chu Ran not grab the photos in her hand, but she snatched a small stack of photos from her hand by her quick-sighted and quick-handed.
Chu Ran quickly flipped through the other photos, and asked Zhong Yiren: "Who is this lady?"
"Who else? Jin Dacheng's wife!"
"You're lying! They're not the right age."
Chu Ran stared at Zhong Yiren, seeing that she was anxious, as if she was thinking about an explanation.
She pressed her step by step, and asked: "Who is she? What are you doing in such a hurry? Since it's a side story, why didn't you hand it over to the newspaper?"
Zhong Yiren faltered and couldn't speak for a while, and finally had to say everything in frustration.
It turned out that the pretentious beauty was the third concubine of the Deputy Minister of City Defense. Zhong Yiren took these photos and made a private deal with Jin Dacheng to earn a hush money, so she didn't hand them over to the newspaper.
"I can share half of the money with you, but you have to keep it a secret." At this point, Zhong Yiren had no choice but to recruit Chu Ran into the group.
It's a pity that Chu Ran let her down, she didn't want money at all, she just wanted photos.
Zhong Yi was in a hurry, and shouted: "No! This is news that I have already traded. According to the rules of this business, it must be destroyed!"
"Why don't we ask the editor-in-chief to see what the rules of this industry are."
Zhong Yiren shook her head with a dark face, but faced with Chu Ran's insistence, she had no choice but to compromise, and nodded sullenly.
After resting for a day, Jiang Yuelou changed his clothes and prepared to go out. Before leaving, he said to Chen Yuzhi who was reading a book in the living room: "I'll go to the police station. You can go home if you want. But be careful when you go out. Come back if you feel someone is watching you."
Chen Yuzhi nodded, suddenly remembered the kick he had lightly kicked himself in the car last night, and asked, "I forgot to ask yesterday, why can't they know that we are neighbors?"
"There must be something wrong with opium being planted in Yu Zhitang. The people here are not only targeting you, but also me. The more you keep, the more initiative you have."
Chen Yuzhi seemed a little puzzled: "Aren't they both your friends?"
Jiang Yuelou tidied his clothes in front of the mirror, saw his puzzled expression in the mirror, hesitated for a moment, and explained: "I only trusted two friends before, one was Director Bai, and the other was him." He pointed Refers to the little white cat playing at the door.
"Now, there's still you." He turned to look at Chen Yuzhi with sincerity.
There was a warm current in Chen Yuzhi's heart, feeling the warmth of being trusted, and his smile was full of confidence and hope: "Thank you. I will cure your illness in the future, so that you have more friends to trust."
Jiang Yuelou raised the corners of her lips slightly: "I hope."
He strode into the police station, and after unloading some burdens in his heart, his mood improved a lot, he was full of energy and high-spirited.
But Sun Yongren and Song Rong, who were waiting in front of the office, were in a hurry, and rushed to greet him when they saw him coming.
"Boss, what happened last night? You scared me to death."
Song Rong just paid attention to the state of Jiang Yuelou, and it was Sun Yongren who was talking about it.
"The news is pretty good." Jiang Yuelou led them into the office.
Sun Yongren spoke super fast: "How can we be well-informed? The entire police station is now full of gossip. When Song Rong and I arrived in the morning, we heard five versions of your deeds last night alone!"
"Oh? What versions are there? Let me tell you." Jiang Yuelou sat down on the sofa in a good mood, as if he was listening to someone else's story.
"It is said that you are actually the leader of Jinmatang, and that the crackdown on opium is to eradicate dissidents; there is also that you and Dr. Chen are colluding internally and externally to make huge profits..."
Before Sun Yongren finished speaking, Jiang Yuelou couldn't help laughing. He shook his head speechlessly: "Nonsense. That's all, let's get down to business. Don't waste time on it." He looked at Song Rong: "News how?"
"Those soaps are not sold in the market. We went to almost all the big trading houses in Jingcheng, and none of the bosses have seen them. The wrapping paper should be just a cover and circulated in a small area."
Jiang Yuelou thought for a moment, and then asked, "What about foreign firms, have you checked them too?"
"No leads."
Jiang Yuelou tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa, and his brain was running fast.
Sun Yongren added from the side: "There is another news, Liu Qingfeng is dead."
"When did it happen?" He suddenly raised his head and looked at Sun Yongren with a stern expression.
"It looked like four or five o'clock this morning. The Liu family caught fire, and the fire was so intense that none of the thirteen members of the family survived."
Jiang Yuelou's expression was solemn: "It rained so heavily last night, and it was very humid everywhere. The reason why the fire spread so quickly is probably because someone did it on purpose."
"You guessed it right, there is a strong smell of kerosene. It's a silencer."
Jiang Yuelou sighed: "One hundred secrets and one sparse, there is still something wrong, and the people in Jinmatang discovered the suspicious point."
Sun Yongren lowered his head, quite self-blaming: "It's the subordinate who neglected his duty."
"They've planned it long ago, and it's impossible to guard against it." Jiang Yuelou waved his hand, "The first step is to frame Chen Yuzhi and plant him with opium. The second step is to implicate me, divert attention, and buy time. The third step But as long as a person takes action, he will definitely leave clues. Start with Liu Qingfeng's social relations and the patients who entered Yu Zhitang yesterday afternoon. There should be a connection between the two."
Jiang Yuelou ordered Sun Yongren to continue to investigate Liu Qingfeng, handle Yu Zhitang's clues by himself, and asked Song Rong to go to the evidence room to get the opium.
Sun Yongren walked out the door and met Chu Ran in the corridor. With a look of excitement on his face, he dragged the reluctant Chu Ran back to the office.
"Boss, who do you think I met? It's Miss Cheng!"
Chu Ran glanced at Jiang Yuelou in embarrassment, with an unnatural expression.
Song Rong called "Miss Chu" politely, and dragged Sun Yongren away with question marks all over his face.
In the office, only Jiang Yuelou was sitting on the sofa and Chu Ran was standing at the door.
Chu Ran looked for the topic unnaturally: "How is Chen Yuzhi? Is he better?"
Jiang Yuelou nodded.
"Give me the address, I'll go see him later."
Chu Ran didn't expect Jiang Yuelou to refuse straight away: "He's still recovering, so it's inconvenient. I'll tell him your concern."
Chu Ran had no choice but to nod.
"You and Zhan Junbai knew each other before? They look familiar."
"No. You read it wrong, I met you for the first time last night."
Jiang Yuelou got up, walked to the desk, and issued a eviction order: "It's okay, you can go."
Chu Ran was stunned, dissatisfied, and caught up with the first two steps: "Jiang Yuelou, I found that you are really sick, and your speech is inexplicable."
Jiang Yuelou sneered: "I'm not so ignorant that I don't know someone else's fiancee."
Chu Ran instantly understood that he had heard Jin Dacheng's deliberate provocation that day. Her voice was a little lower, not as confident as before: "I want to divorce Jin Dacheng, there is no other meaning."
"Well, it couldn't be better, please..." Jiang Yuelou pointed to the door, then looked down at the information without looking at her again.
Chu Ran turned around angrily, and walked out of the door. Just as she was about to open the door, she heard Jiang Yuelou's warning: "In the future, don't meddle in these things at the police station."
She thought Jiang Yuelou cared about her, and looked back, with a caring smile in her eyes: "Are you afraid that I will be in danger?"
"No, I'm afraid you will cause trouble." Jiang Yuelou's cold words extinguished the little sweetness in her heart.
Her smile froze on her face, she didn't want to talk to Jiang Yuelou anymore, she opened the door angrily and left, and went straight to today's destination. She wanted to vent all this anger on Jin Dacheng.
In Jin Dacheng's office, Chu Ran threw a stack of intimate photos of him and his third wife, the deputy minister of urban defense, on the desk.
Jin Dacheng was flustered when he saw the photo: "You don't have to be jealous, I'll explain it to you. It's not what you think. That day Mrs. Cheng asked me to discuss something important. She wanted to go to the black market to exchange gold bars, so I went to the appointment. As a result , who knows what those reporters did to take such a misplaced photo. Don't worry, she and I are very innocent."
"I don't care if you are innocent or not. I just want to ask you, this marriage will never be retired."
"of course not."
Chu Ran was not angry, and sat down on his own, and said with a smile: "If these photos are sent to Minister Cheng, guess what will happen?"
"I'm innocent anyway." Jin Dacheng's momentum was obviously much weaker.
Seeing that he was guilty, Chu Ran stood up and said, "Okay, then you can wait to explain to Minister Cheng."
As soon as she said this, Jin Dacheng immediately faltered, and quickly walked out from behind the desk to stop her: "You have won. Back off, give me the photo, and you leave quickly. And, I promise that I will never mention it again in the future." This thing."
Chu Ran didn't speak, but looked at the phone and raised his chin, the intention was very obvious.
Jin Dacheng reluctantly moved to the table, picked up the receiver, and dialed Chu Ran's home.
Chu Ran heard Sun Fuzhi's unwilling and urgent voice on the phone, and finally hung up the phone in frustration when Jin Dacheng insisted on retiring the engagement.
She was in a very happy mood, watching Jin Dacheng light up the photo in front of her, and said with a smile: "In that case, I won't bother you, thank you Section Chief Jin."
"Wait!" Jin Dacheng called to Chu Ran who was about to leave, and looked her up and down: "I have a question that is a little unclear. You will be unclear with Jiang Yuelou for a while, and you will be in pairs with Minister Zhan for a while. Are you stepping on two boats or choosing the best between the two?"
"It's nothing, please pay attention to your wording." Chu Ran hated his words, and also hated his expression when he spoke.
Jin Dacheng grinned: "I don't care who you're with. I'm divorced anyway. I can't wear this cuckold on my head. But I can give you a suggestion. Jiang Yuelou is sick. You should stay away from him." I can live two more years at a distance... "
"I think you are the one who is sick!" Chu Ran was very annoyed when he heard him speak ill of Jiang Yuelou.
Jin Dacheng shrugged indifferently, and handed over a newspaper: "Hey, it's fresh out of the oven. I'm not talking nonsense. The whole Jingcheng knows that Jiang Yuelou is sick! Haha!"
That newspaper was "Jingcheng Daily". The headline on the front page reported Jiang Yuelou's beating. The photo of the violent man after being beaten, the wound on the photo looks very horrific. At the same time, the photo of Jiang Yuelou wearing a police uniform was also printed in the newspaper.
Chu Ran was stunned, grabbed the newspaper and read it carefully, then ran out of the office without saying hello. She rushed to the door of Jiang Yuelou's office and slapped hard, but unfortunately the people inside had already left.
In fact, Jiang Yuelou also saw the report, but he didn't care.
On the street, wherever he walked, many people pointed at him with newspapers and talked quietly.
Slap, a small toy ball hit him, he stopped, turned his head to look, and saw a little boy about three or four years old lying on his mother's body, pointing at Jiangyuelou with his hand like a pistol Make a biubiu sound, and shout: "Kill the bad guys, kill the bad guys."
Jiang Yuelou was indifferent to the child's cursing, just bent down to pick up the ball and walked towards the mother and child.
The mother was terrified, and subconsciously protected the child behind her back to avoid being hurt by Jiang Yuelou. She panicked and apologized to Jiang Yuelou, and kept bowing: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! Section Chief Jiang, he is still a child, you don't remember villains..."
Jiang Yuelou returned the ball to the mother, and said flatly, "Playing balls on the street is very dangerous." After he finished speaking, he turned and left without explaining much.
Until walking into the alley, Song Rong glanced at Jiang Yuelou's expression, and couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you wronged?"
"got used to."
"He's just a kid who doesn't know right from wrong. He can identify you as a bad person when he sees the photos in the newspaper. What about other people? What about the people in Jingcheng? What should we think of you? You should explain."
Jiang Yuelou smiled, but didn't answer, acting calmly.
On the contrary, Song Rongyue said the more unwillingly: "You protect the safety of a city, but in the end you are severely criticized by the people you protect, section chief, I am not worth it for you..."
"Song Rong, we have too many things to do. Compared with those, this is just a trivial matter, and it is even more worthless to waste time on it. Do you understand?"
Song Rong didn't say anything more, but looked at Jiang Yuelou with even more admiration, with a trace of regret and distress.
The two entered Jiangyuelou's house together, and saw Chen Yuzhi sitting on the steps, writing and drawing in a notebook, seeing them coming back, they quickly got up and said: "You came back just in time, I have something to tell you. "
Jiang Yuelou was a little surprised by his urgency, "I also have something to ask you, let's go into the room and say it."
The three sat down at the table in the living room, and Chen Yuzhi couldn't wait to share his reasoning, analyzing who was most likely to put opium in Yu Zhitang and blame him.
At that time, he had received a total of eight patients during the period between his return from Zhan Mansion and Yuzhitang, and the arrival of Jin Dacheng to arrest him.
Three of them have been with him on the first floor and have no time to release opium on the second floor, so they can be ruled out directly. Among the other five, there is a woman who is wearing a pair of high-heeled shoes, and the sound of her footsteps on the floor is crisp and clear. If she goes upstairs, the sound of the heels is unavoidable, but it can also be ruled out. There was also an old man who contracted a cold and coughed from the time he entered the door to the time he left, almost without stopping, obviously not.
In the end, there was an unremarkable young man with a sallow complexion, very thin, and a small box in his hand; a woman holding a child, looking simple and honest; and a middle-aged man in a long gown , empty-handed, nothing with me.
The middle-aged man was very fat, his clothes almost stretched his body, and there was no place to put the opium box, which could be ruled out.
Then the box of the young man, and the child in the arms of the woman may become a place to hide opium.
Chen Yuzhi thought about it carefully. At that time, the two of them followed him up to the second floor. The young man was lying on the hospital bed for acupuncture treatment, while the woman on the other side lifted a corner of her clothes to feed the baby.
Chen Yuzhi turned the notebook where he wrote and drew before, and pushed it in front of Jiang Yuelou. There was a portrait of a woman on it, and he said with certainty, "She is the one who released opium."
"Are you sure?" Jiang Yuelou asked suspiciously when he saw that he gave the answer directly and did not continue to analyze the woman's suspiciousness.
"I'm sure." Chen Yuzhi was full of confidence, "Tiger poison doesn't eat babies. There are several medicines in the traditional Chinese medicine she drinks that babies shouldn't use. I made it very clear to her at the time. She feeds the baby poisonous milk." , does not care about the safety and health of the child, which shows that the baby is just a means for her to paralyze others, and the opium should be hidden in the child's quilt."
Jiang Yuelou suddenly realized, looked at him with eyes full of admiration, and boasted: "If you don't become a doctor, you should be a good policeman."
"I take it as a compliment." Chen Yuzhi laughed.
Jiang Yuelou tore off the portrait and handed it to Song Rong: "Check, find her for me."
Song Rong took the portrait, agreed and left in a hurry. In the house, only Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi were left.
It was very dark. An old tree in the courtyard, the branches and leaves were cut by the moonlight, and the silver light fell all over the ground.
Jiang Yuelou and Chen Yuzhi sat opposite each other on the wooden floor under the eaves. There was a tea table in the middle with a pot of tea and two teacups on it. Chen Yuzhi knelt down on the floor to make tea, and raised his hands in a graceful manner. Jiang Yuelou, on the other hand, raised one leg and stepped on the floor obliquely, with a rough demeanor.
Chen Yuzhi rolled up his long sleeves, revealing his fair wrists. I saw him holding the teapot in his hand, pouring water into the teacup elegantly and attentively, a shot of blue tea soup fell into the cup, and several tea leaves swirled and sank in the cup.
He pushed the tea cup towards Jiang Yuelou: "Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you seriously yet, so today I will replace wine with tea."
Jiang Yuelou smiled, picked up the teacup and drank it in one gulp, in awe of the heroism of drinking the tea out of the wine.
At this time, the little white cat got out at some point, lay down in Chen Yuzhi's arms, and let him stroke its hair time after time, feeling very comfortable.
Jiang Yuelou looked funny: "This guy knows you better than me now."
"Because when you're busy with work, I'm basically the one who feeds you." Chen Yuzhi couldn't help but expose the negligence of his master.
Jiang Yuelou knew that he was joking, and pretended to reprimand the little white cat: "You bastard, I've fed you for so many years, and I forgot all about it."
The little white cat yelled at Jiang Yuelou as if he had become human, then got up and ran to the yard to play by himself.
Chen Yuzhi laughed: "It's easy to add flowers to the cake, but difficult to send charcoal in the snow. Every time it comes to me, it's hungry. It's different from you serving me every day."
Jiang Yuelou shook his head speechlessly.
"Next, what do you plan to do?"
"Go all out and investigate to the end."
"They are coming aggressively this time, so be careful." Chen Yuzhi was a little worried and reminded.
Jiang Yuelou laughed out loud and didn't care: "I, Jiang Yuelou, have never been afraid of retaliation. I would rather they take action than these dirty things huddled around. It is even more difficult to track down, and I have no clue."
"Even if you die?" Chen Yuzhi asked.
Jiang Yuelou replied sonorously: "Even if you die."
The two looked at each other for a moment, Chen Yuzhi didn't say anything, but picked up the teapot, poured another cup of tea for Jiang Yuelou, and the two of them drank another cup, everything was kept silent.
It was late at night, and the lakeside in the outskirts was empty and quiet, except for a few frogs croaking occasionally.
A man wearing a black cloak stood by the lake. The wind from the lake made the cloak flutter, making hunting sounds.
Lao Huo, the head of the Jinmatang, walked over cautiously from a distance, stopped not far from the man, and respectfully called "Third Master".
The man didn't turn his head back, and didn't answer, he was silent for a while, which made Lao Huo feel uneasy.
Suddenly, he heard him say slowly: "You have been with me for several years, and this is the first time we have met."
"Yes, third master. In the past, I always contacted you by phone. "
The man finally turned his head, his face was hidden under the hood of the cloak, and there was darkness. "It was your idea to frame Chen Yuzhi?"
"Yes, third master."
"Too stupid to be cured."
Lao Huo tried to explain something and looked up. The face under the cloak and hat was gradually revealed, it was actually Zhao Jingming.
"Chief Zhao?" He froze for a moment, as if petrified.
Zhao Jingming didn't care about his surprise, walked a few steps and said in a low voice: "I know that your move is aimed at Jiangyuelou, but as I said, this is a big game of chess, don't let me clean up the mess for your stupidity .What should be done, what should not be done, if you don't know, change to someone who knows."
Lao Huo didn't dare to say much, so he had to bow his head and say yes.
"roll."
Lao Huo bowed and backed away for a long distance before turning around and leaving quickly.
Ripples appeared in the lake, and the moonlight shone on it, showing a sparkling beauty. And Zhao Jingming stood there with a straight face, his stern expression was completely different from his smiling tiger-like face in the past.
