Lu Huai was very busy. On the one hand, it was the increase in the number of people poisoned in Shanghai Beach, and on the other it was the affairs of the Peace Hotel.
After the whole day, he has no time to rest.
At noon, Lu Huai only had a short nap, but dreamed of the Great World Playground that night.
In the dream, he was naturally with that woman again.
The place in the dream is the theater of the big world, the aisle lights are on and the light is faint.
Listening to the people around him, Mr. Gong just finished talking about Pingtan.
The two of them walked out following the crowd.
Lu Huai noticed the soft touch in his hands.
She held his pocket watch in her hand.
And Lu Huai held her hand, his palm wrapped her slender fingers.
He took Ye Chu's hand, and the feeling was exactly the same as hers.
The people around continued to walk along the aisle and walk forward.
Lu Huai's pace stopped, he used a little force and grasped Ye Chu's hand tightly, and she also stopped.
The people in front had already left the theater, and at this time, the overhead lights went out quickly.
Ye Chu's breathing was right beside Lu Huai.
In the darkness, there were only two of them.
Lu Huai turned her body and let her face to face with him.
He leaned down, as if he wanted to see her face clearly, and as if to do something else.
Lu Huai gradually approached her face, his breath clinging tightly.
The surroundings were extremely quiet, and the pocket watch ticked sharply.
The fragrance came from her hair, he fumbled, and continued down...
At this time, Lu Huai suddenly woke up from his dream, the cold winter air all over his body.
Lu Huai realized that he was now in the Peace Hotel, but fell asleep leaning on a chair.
Maintaining the same posture for a long time caused his neck to become sore.
Dreaming again.
This dream is related to the big world playground in Shanghai.
Lu Huai's lips pressed into a straight line.
He didn't guess wrong, as long as he had been there with Ye Chu, there was his memory.
And when Lu Huai took her around those places, he could recall the memories, even though he didn't know what those pasts were.
But the scenes and pictures are extremely clear, and her body and those feelings are extremely familiar.
Lu Huai's eyes are getting deeper, could it be their past life
In the silent room, the pocket watch ticked.
Lu Huai looked down.
The second hand walked earnestly, holding the pocket watch in his hand.
Lu Huai knew that Ye Chu must be related to this watch.
Lu Huai wanted to go to Ye Mansion to see what she was hiding from him.
But now is not the right time for this matter, we can only wait until the poisoning incident is over before going to her.
Lu Huai quickly picked up the black coat on the table, put on the coat, and walked to the door.
He got in the car and went out.
…
After Ye Chu and Lu Huai talked about the academic conference, Lu Huai sent someone to keep an eye on those people.
Ye Chu only knew that something would happen at the academic conference, but he didn't know who the poisoner was behind it.
Those who participated in the academic conference were all professors who were very knowledgeable.
In the past few days, the dark guards have been hiding beside the professors, monitoring them until the end of the academic competition.
As long as they move, the dark guards will immediately report to Lu Huai.
However, in the past few days, none of the professors has been abnormal, and they have not been in contact with any suspicious persons.
The academic conference was held in the Xincheng Hotel.
The professors checked into the hotel the day before the meeting.
The conference hall was set on the second floor, and Lu Huai disguised himself and moved into the third floor of the hotel.
The secret guards were scattered around the hotel, disguised as staff in the hotel, constantly monitoring the movements of the professors.
On this day, the meeting was held as scheduled, and no abnormalities occurred during the period.
Everything is fine, as if this is just an extraordinary meeting.
After the meeting, those people came to the hotel lobby and prepared to eat.
Lu Huai had already given orders to the dark guards. They pretended to be waiters in the restaurant and hung in ambush around those people.
Lu Huai was sitting not far away, disguised as a guest who came to dine.
He deliberately brought a hat, the brim of the hat was so low that he would not be noticed.
While looking at the menu in his hand, Lu Huai paid attention to the movements of those people.
The professors are still talking and laughing, they have no idea what is about to happen.
At the beginning, nothing happened in the restaurant.
When halfway through lunch, someone suddenly noticed discomfort.
As soon as the man stood up, he lost consciousness and fell to the ground.
The guests who came to dine were a little flustered when they saw this scene, but then they calmed down.
They thought that it was only a physical problem that caused the person to suddenly fall into a coma.
Unexpectedly, things are far from over, this is just the beginning.
"Waitress, go call an ambulance!"
The professor sitting next to the man immediately stepped forward to help, but he didn't expect him to fall into a coma because of the darkness in front of him.
As the man fell, the professors gradually realized something was wrong.
Each of them feels breathless and weak.
Ji Yanru also attended this meeting, and he also showed the same symptoms.
Immediately afterwards, all the professors who came to attend the academic conference fell into a coma, and some even died on the spot.
At this time, the Metro Hotel has completely rioted.
With so many people having accidents at the same time, something must have gone wrong. The guests all avoided looking aside.
Lu Huai's eyebrows darkened, and his expression became solemn.
He did not expect that things would develop to this point.
Lu Huai immediately stood up and sent someone to notify Inspector Shao of the Central Arrest House, asking him to rush to the hospital quickly.
All those who fell into a coma were taken to the nearby Guangci Hospital.
Lu Huai's car followed. As soon as he got out of the car, he found a car parked behind him.
Inspector Shao opened the door and got out of the car.
Although the distance is not close, Inspector Shao came quickly, and he could see that he was extremely nervous about this matter.
Inspector Shao saw Lu Huai and walked a few steps forward: "San Shao."
Lu Huai nodded at him, and the two of them went into the hospital without delay.
"There are a lot of people in a coma this time, all of them are professors attending academic conferences." Lu Huai said.
When Inspector Shao heard this, his face sank and his expression became more serious.
There are so many people in the accident that the doctor can only place them in the ward and diagnose them one by one.
Doctors and nurses entered and exited, the door of the ward opened and closed, and finally closed tightly.
The incident was so urgent that the hospital had not had time to notify the patient's family members.
At this time, the corridor was silent.
Although the hospital was extremely silent, the air was faintly stretched, the pressure was sinking, and the tension was abnormal.
Looking around, the eyes are all white.
The hospital was filled with the smell of disinfectant, with some inexplicable scent.
Lu Huai's gaze fell in the direction of the ward, his back was straight, his eyes were heavy, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Time passed by silently, and the door of the ward suddenly opened, breaking the silence at this moment.
The doctor finally walked out of the ward. He recognized Lu Huai and immediately stepped forward: "San Shao."
Lu Huai nodded: "How is the patient?"
The doctor had never seen a scene where so many people were poisoned at the same time, and he was vaguely disturbed.
The doctor strained his face: "There were patients like this in other hospitals before, and those people were also chronically poisoned."
"This time, someone should have increased the dose, and the toxicity is very serious, and they will immediately get the poison."
Lu Huai frowned, "Have you noticed the unusual?"
The doctor shook his head first, then he seemed to have thought of something and spoke quickly.
"There is indeed a strange place. Professor Ji has only been poisoned with a small amount, while the others have been poisoned with large doses."
Inspector Shao: "Professor Ji? Is that the professor from Nanyang University?"
Lu Huai's eyes sank, and the air around him seemed a little bit colder.
This matter is by no means as simple as imagined.
…
Lu Huai sent troops to guard Guangci Hospital, and people in the patrol room were also watching the hospital day and night. No one will have an opportunity to take advantage of.
Although he knew that those people would never show up, Lu Huai wanted the person behind the scenes to understand that he took this matter extremely seriously.
If something happened to the professors in Shanghai, neither the French Concession patrol house nor the government would ignore it.
One day later, news came from Guangci Hospital that the people who attended the academic conference yesterday were poisoned too badly to be treated and all died.
Except for one person, Ji Yanru.
The people there have been watching Ji Yanru closely, and they are not concerned about his safety at the moment, but another reason.
Ji Yanru has become the most important suspect.
All the professors in this group are acute poisons, and the poisons go too fast. Within a few days, the only person they had contacted was Ji Yanru.
Ji Yanru deliberately poisoned himself, with the goal of clearing his suspicion.
When Lu Huai arrived at Guangci Hospital, the people in the patrol room were about to take Ji Yanru away.
Lu Huai narrowed his eyes: "Inspector Shao."
After seeing Lu Huai, Inspector Shao asked his subordinates to stop, and stared at Ji Yanru. He walked quickly: "San Shao, take a step to speak."
They entered an empty room with guards at the door.
Inspector Shao looked solemn: "San Shao, I must take away Ji Yanru."
"Inspector Shao, it's so obvious that the other party did it deliberately." Lu Huai's voice is deep, "It is to make us believe that Ji Yanru is the murderer."
People in Shanghai have been poisoned one after another. This incident is violent. I don't know the purpose of the criminals behind the scenes.
Ji Yanru was the only one who had escaped from the moment of life and death. The people who patrolled the room went to Ji's house today, and they also found poison in his home.
A discerning person will doubt Ji Yanru at a glance, but if you think about it carefully, you can know how Ji Yanru's thoughtful mind can make things so obvious.
There must be someone planting the blame behind it.
Inspector Shao has been investigating the case for many years and has rich experience. The reason for this must be clear.
But Inspector Shao had to do this, even if he knew that Professor Ji Yanru was not the murderer, he still wanted to arrest him and convict him.
Inspector Shao was unspeakable, he thought for a moment, then spoke.
"Three young masters, among the dead are relatives of the mayor of Shanghai."
Lu Huai was silent.
The mayor of Shanghai is very concerned about this poisoning. Not only that, some powerful people have also been poisoned.
The other party deliberately set this trap to force the French Concession Patrol House to catch the murderer.
Even if Inspector Lu Huai and Inspector Shao didn't believe it, but there was coercion from the powerful behind them, and the people who patrolled the room must finalize the case.
Even if the evidence is obviously false.
Even the real murderer is still at large.
This is not just a request from the mayor, but Shanghai's powerful and powerful people also need to be appeased. Otherwise, things will get worse and will cause turmoil in Shanghai.
Inspector Shao clenched his fists: "The mayor wants an explanation, and the central arrest room has to follow."
He lowered his head: "I hope the three masters understand."
Lu Huai knew that the black hand behind the scenes had designed this move and was looking for such a dead ghost.
As long as Ji Yanru is arrested, there will be no more cases of poisoning in the future.
The people in the patrol room will not investigate again, and the matter will be settled in this way.
In this way they will never catch the real murderer again.
In a short time, Lu Huai quickly developed a new method: "You can take Ji Yanru to the patrol room, but I have one condition."
Inspector Shao's expression relaxed: "Three young masters, please speak."
Lu Huai said, "This person will still have a role in the future, and his life must be guaranteed."
Inspector Shao said firmly: "If Ji Yanru has a problem, I will immediately resign from the position of chief inspector of the central arrest house."
"Thank you Sanshao."
Inspector Shao left the room, and his voice came from outside: "Take him away."
Lu Huai's eyes were deep.
The poisoning has been planned for a long time, and people with chronic poisoning have not yet been cured, and their lives are already in danger. And the number of deaths from acute poisoning is increasing...
What is the purpose of the person doing this
…
Yang Mansion.
Recently, many people in Shanghai have been poisoned, and Financial Secretary Yang Zhong also showed symptoms of poisoning.
The Yang family immediately hired a doctor to diagnose and treat Yang Zhong.
Yang Zhong's condition has been well alleviated. Yang Zhong went to sleep, and Yang Huaili sent the doctor to the door.
Yang Huaili expressed his gratitude: "Doctor, fortunately, with you, my father's illness has been controlled."
Yang Zhong was poisoned, and Yang Huaili was extremely worried. Fortunately, the doctor's medical skills are wise, and Yang Zhong has no serious problems.
The doctor's voice was extremely calm: "Director Yang takes a few more medicines and he will recover. You don't have to worry."
Yang Huaili: "Thank you, doctor."
The doctor turned and left, the sun was shining, and his expression was extremely soft.
Ye Mansion.
Ye Chu sat in the room, thinking deeply.
She was waiting for news from Lu Huai.
The Metro Hotel held an academic conference. Lu Huai also went there, paying attention to the movement of the group of people, but she has not received any news yet.
Recently, Shanghai has been extremely turbulent, with signs of poisoning one after another, and He Erye even died.
Because Guangci Hospital blocked the news, Ye Chu didn't know that the group of professors had died.
People in Shanghai are panicked.
Behind the scenes, the black hands moved frequently, and the conspiracy gradually unfolded.
The future is unpredictable, and you can only move forward step by step and act by chance.
Ye Chu looked out the window, his eyes sinking slightly.
It is almost dusk, the daylight is gradually falling, and the light is a little dim.
There was a lot of silence all around, especially dull.
Time passed, Ye Chu's heart was still held there before the dark guard came.
At this time, a maid walked in in a hurry.
The maid's tone was anxious: "Second Miss, the master is ill."
Just now Ye Junzhao fell into a coma, and his face was extremely ugly.
The servant quickly notified Su Lan and Ye Chu.
Ye Chu's heart sank.
She immediately stood up and walked outside the door.
Ye Chu walked very fast, and soon arrived at Ye Junzhao's room, Su Lan had already arrived.
When he came to the bed, Ye Chu looked over.
Ye Junzhao's face was pale, his eyes closed at this time, and his expression was a bit painful.
The private doctor was treating Ye Junzhao, and for a while, he frowned: "Master is poisoned, the situation is a bit tricky."
Ye Chu's mind was startled.
It is poisoning again.
She frowned, her heart turned back and forth.
Could the man behind the scenes also attack the Ye Family
Ye Junzhao's situation is extremely bad, and Ye Chu is very worried.
The private doctor said again: "Master's condition can only be temporarily relieved, and it cannot be completely cured."
Ye Chu and Su Lan's heart was cold.
Ye Chu looked at Su Lan and squeezed her hand to comfort Su Lan.
Su Lan suppressed the panic, and she suddenly remembered something.
Su Lan looked at Ye Chu and said, "I heard that Director Yang was also poisoned, and the Yang family hired a doctor."
"After a few more days of treatment, Director Yang's illness will be cured."
The situation was critical, and Su Lan believed that this doctor could not cure Ye Junzhao's disease.
Su Lan said, "Shall we invite this doctor over?"
Ye Chu paused: "Okay."
Su Lan turned her head and looked at the maid: "Send someone to ask the Yang family, which doctor it is, and invite him to Ye Mansion."
The maid should go to Yang's house.
Ye Chu looked at Su Lan and comforted: "Mother, father will be fine."
Ye Chu was also extremely worried about Ye Junzhao's situation, but at this time, she could not panic.
Su Lan nodded and stopped talking.
The atmosphere in the room was extremely dull.
Before the doctor came, Su Lan asked Ye Chu to return to the room first. When the doctor came, he sent someone to call Ye Chu.
Ye Chu returned to the room. After a while, the maid knocked on the door: "Second Miss, the doctor is here."
Ye Chu walked out of the room.
At this time, Ye Mansion was extremely quiet. Everyone slowed down and their voices became much quieter.
The air seemed to stagnate.
The wind blew over the leaves, and the rustling noise was very slight, and it quickly dispersed in the wind.
As soon as I walked to the door, the door opened a shallow gap, and there was a faint voice in it.
Ye Chu stagnated.
Su Lan's voice was somewhat grateful: "Doctor, thank you."
The doctor's voice was calm: "You are welcome."
This voice is very familiar.
It fell into Ye Chu's ears, and it was extremely clear.
Ye Chu's heart tightened.
She had a vague premonition in her heart.
Ye Chu calmed his mind and pushed the door in.
The light poured down, illuminating the ground slightly.
Ye Chu looked up.
A person was leaning on his side, head down slightly, and was packing the medicine box.
His hands are slender and clean, and his movements are extremely gentle.
The light was a little dim, and he outlined his figure, lightly and far away.
The wind in the deep winter was extremely cold, and it suddenly blew over, with a bit of bitterness.
Even if he couldn't see his face clearly, the anxiety in Ye Chu's heart grew worse.
Ye Chu lifted his foot and walked over.
The air in the room was dignified and suffocated.
Rong Mu seemed to notice the movement.
He slowly turned around and looked over.
The light and shadow of the setting sun passed over Rong Mu's face, his eyebrows were sparse and elegant.
The light and shadow reflected in his eyes, like a calm lake, without a trace.
At dusk, the setting sun sank again, and the sky seemed to be dyed red.
It was a silent dusk.
The sunlight stretched out the shadows, reflected on the ground, and the brightness became clearer and darker.
Rong Mu stared at Ye Chu.
An imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
With a slight smile in his smile.
