Because Inspector Shao and Lu Huai of the Central Arrest House were nearby, they came quickly after the incident.
As soon as Inspector Shao heard that there was a murder case here, he rushed over.
Lu Huai happened to be having a discussion with Inspector Shao. Hearing this news, he stopped by here.
At this time, the crowd was rioting, and many people wanted to leave the restaurant.
The atmosphere here is stagnant, not suitable for long stay.
Poppy mixed in the crowd, with the same flustered expression, she left with the crowd.
At this time, Lu Huai suddenly turned his head, his eyes fell in the direction where Poppy was.
Lu Huai's gaze stayed on Poppy for a second.
After that, Poppy left with the crowd.
Lu Huai turned his head to look, and found that the person was gone.
Lu Huai frowned. Among the group of guests, there was a woman whose figure and figure were familiar.
Very similar to the person on the Tianxing ship at sunrise.
Some time ago, Lu Huai and Ye Chu set up a bureau and arranged everything in a cloth house in advance.
They deliberately created chaos and used Ye Chu as a bait to force Jiang Xun's client to show up.
The plan did work, and they saw the client.
However, the man made a disguise and did not reveal his true identity.
Since then, Lu Huai is still following clues to investigate her deeply.
A few days ago, Lu Huai had made an investigation, and he knew that the person was aliased as Su Yan.
Through the introduction of French businessman Benoit Boyer, Su Yan is about to enter the Public Board of Directors.
She will take office soon.
If the only person hiding in the crowd is Su Yan, then what is the purpose of her coming here
Is the murder in the restaurant related to her
Lu Huai's eyes darkened, and he suppressed the doubts in his heart, without showing any signs on his face.
Inspector Shao saw Lu Huai turn his head and immediately said, "San Shao, is there something wrong?"
Lu Huai retracted his gaze and shook his head: "I just saw an acquaintance."
The two immediately walked to the second floor.
The scene remained the same without much damage.
The first person who discovered the dead was the waiter in the restaurant, who hadn't recovered yet.
Originally, she thought that someone had fainted on the ground, and immediately walked over, trying to lift that person up.
Unexpectedly, she saw the man lying in the blood, her eyes widened, and she seemed a little surprised and weird.
Now, the waiter is sitting in another room.
The police officer waited until she calmed down a bit, and then asked her about the specific situation.
The deceased was a French businessman named Ben France.
Both Inspector Lu Huai and Shao saw his death.
Because the man who killed him acted swiftly, France didn't suffer much pain before his death.
Lu Huai took a closer look at France's wound, which was caused by a sharp knife.
The technique is extremely professional, not like a simple murder.
Lu Huai knew the identity of the deceased, and France was a businessman in the French Concession.
France is not a good person, and his style of behavior is extremely problematic.
Inspector Shao looked at Lu Huai and said: "France should be very busy on weekdays. Will he come to see someone?"
Hearing this, Lu Huai's eyes shrank slightly.
Lu Huai suddenly remembered the figure in the crowd just now, but he didn't speak immediately.
At this time, the survey results just came out.
Through the confession of the waiter, they knew that the last person France saw before his death was Mo Qinghan, a member of the Public Board of Directors.
The two met in the restaurant, and seemed to be discussing something.
Their conversation lasted more than an hour.
After the conversation, Mo Qinghan and France left the restaurant together.
Shortly after Mo Qinghan left, something happened to France.
No one noticed that France went and returned and died in the restaurant.
Lu Huai and Inspector Shao guessed the mastermind behind this incident.
Lu Huai concealed the fact of seeing Su Yan, and did not mention it to Inspector Shao.
Will this incident be done by a person who was suspicious of Mo Qinghan in the French Concession, or by Su Yan who appeared on the scene
Lu Huai had previously doubted the relationship between Poppy and Mo Qinghan, and he guessed whether they were in the same position.
After today's events, he felt that the French businessman was most likely killed by Su Yan.
What is Su Yan's purpose? What kind of situation does she want to put Mo Qinghan in.
Will Su Yan belong to Dai Shinan
So, what is Dai Shinan's true attitude towards Mo Qinghan
…
Lu Huai's thoughts are deep, these problems are intertwined, but there is a direction in between.
Numerous clues were entwined together, and he had to clear the fog layer by layer to know the truth.
Poppy, who had just left the scene, was equally confused.
Before she walked out of the restaurant, Poppy noticed that Lu Huai was looking in her direction.
Although Lu Huai's sight only stayed on her for a while, Poppy still had a terrible guess.
Poppy always felt that Lu Huai's gaze seemed to have known everything.
Did he deny his presence
Will he associate himself with the woman of that day
Had Lu Huai guessed his identity
Poppy can only choose to stand still and not expose himself.
The case just happened at night, and the people in the central arrest room did not find any effective clues.
What's more, this matter involves the members of the Public Board of Directors, and they are left to continue the investigation.
…
On the second day, Poppy went to the Public Board of Directors.
The Public Board of Directors has a lot of affairs, and her position is a director of the management department.
This position is not as eye-catching as Mo Qinghan. Moreover, Poppy comes in a very low-key manner, and no one cares about it.
Only the people on this floor know that a new director has been hired in this office.
The assassination last night did not affect the Public Board of Directors.
Poppy relaxes, it seems that someone has suppressed the matter temporarily.
The secretary of the Minister of Management gave Poppy some documents.
"The document sent from above is the name of a large company in the French Concession."
"Some work hasn't been completed yet, so you have to go to the company to see it yourself."
"Director Su is new to the French Concession, so it's better to get familiar with the environment."
"..."
A gust of wind blew in from the window, the papers on the desk were blown up by the wind, and the plain white paper was flipped.
The wind stopped and so did the documents.
Poppy looked at the page of the document on the table. There was a line of familiar small print on it.
Su's Enterprise.
She was taken aback.
After a few seconds, Poppy raised his eyes, pretending that nothing happened: "I'll go take a look today."
"It's hard work for Director Su."
After the minister's secretary left, Poppy put away the document, and his thoughts were deep.
Thirteen years ago, she left home and almost entered the hidden pavilion. Later, she was rescued by Chief Dai and trained as an agent.
In one mission, her right cheek was injured. After a repair operation, her face was different from the previous one.
Even Su Lan would never recognize who she was.
Poppy decided to visit Su's enterprise first.
If you can see the person she wants to meet, it is an unexpected joy.
…
Poppy's car stopped on a road in the French Concession.
She looked from a distance, and there was the location of Su's enterprise.
Poppy thought for a long time, and made up her mind, she got out of the car and walked towards there.
Her steps were not hurried, and she went straight to the entrance.
There were not a few people in the lobby of Su's enterprise. Deputy Dong and a woman were talking and were about to walk upstairs.
He is Su Mingzhe, the successor whom the Su family highly valued.
Poppy's eyes moved slightly, and he hadn't seen it for a long time, and his cousin was as good as before.
She looked away and fell on the person next to Su Mingzhe.
The corners of Poppy's lips were pulled up, and it seemed that she was lucky.
That person is Ye Chu.
As if they noticed that someone was watching them, Ye Chu and Su Mingzhe stopped and turned their heads to look.
Ye Chu was stunned for a few seconds.
is her
Poppy has clearly removed her previous disguise, revealing her original appearance.
Somehow, Ye Chu recognized her at a glance.
An idea emerged in Ye Chu's mind. That day, she and Lu Huai tentatively explored the Tianxing cloth house and led to this person.
She is Jiang Xun's client, why did she come here
Soon, Poppy walked towards them.
She spoke: "Vice Dong Su."
"I am the Director of the Management Department of the Public Board of Directors."
Poppy didn't know that Ye Chu had discovered her identity. She introduced herself: "My name is Su Yan."
Ye Chu suddenly startled.
Su Yan
Lu Huai told her that after Mo Qinghan became an executive member of the Public Board of Directors, the French businessman Benoit arranged for a person to join the Public Board of Directors.
That person is called Su Yan.
But Ye Chu didn't know, Lu Huai was afraid she would think too much, and concealed part of the facts. He did not tell her that Su Yan was Jiang Xun's client.
But the first time Ye Chu saw Su Yan, he already knew that she was that person.
Ye Chu squinted her eyes, she wanted to confirm her guess.
Was Su Yan the one I saw in the Tianxing cloth house that day
When Ye Chu thought about it, Poppy mentioned his work first.
Poppy: "I am new to the French Concession, there are many things I don't understand, Wang Su, deputy Dong Duo forgive me."
She expressed her purpose in coming to Su's enterprise.
Su Mingzhe nodded: "That's natural."
When he looked at Poppy, he felt a sense of familiarity unexpectedly.
Su Mingzhe took a closer look. Her face was unfamiliar and she seemed to have never appeared in Shanghai.
He didn't think about it anymore, so he cast aside his doubts.
Ye Chuhu said: "Cousin, go ahead and do it first."
Su Mingzhe looked at Ye Chu.
Ye Chu smiled: "I recognize Miss Su Yan."
Poppy did not answer.
Ye Chu continued: "We have met several times before."
Su Mingzhe didn't doubt anything: "Such a coincidence?"
A smile appeared on Poppy's mouth: "Miss Ye Er seems to have something to say to me?"
Su Mingzhe didn't notice that they were strange, he walked upstairs and entered his office.
Only Ye Chu and Poppy were left here.
Ye Chu reexamined Poppy's face.
Ye Chu knew that Su Yan had done a disguise earlier.
This face should be her true face.
Strangely, although Ye Chu saw her for the first time, he felt that she was very familiar.
Ye Chu looked into Su Yan's eyes, her emotions covered up so well that she couldn't see any fluctuations.
Ye Chu asked tentatively, "Miss Su, would you like to sit in the cafe?"
Poppy smiled: "Miss Ye Er is so passionate, I can't push it away."
They left Su's enterprise and walked into a nearby cafe.
On the streets of the French Concession, the spring afternoon sun fell silently.
After a whole cold winter, the warmth that had never been felt before was overwhelmed.
After the two entered the cafe, the waiter greeted him.
Ye Chu said, "Black coffee."
The waiter looked at Poppy.
Poppy thought without hesitation: "Me too."
The waiter bowed his head and left with the list.
He thought in his heart, these two women, one is cold and the other is beautiful, but they always feel that they are very similar, and it is impossible to say how similar they are.
After a while, two cups of coffee came up.
Ye Chu looked at Poppy, his emotions fluctuated.
Although she wanted to test Poppy, she couldn't accentuate her tone.
What is even more strange is that she doesn't want them to be in different camps.
Ye Chu couldn't help lowering his voice: "Director Su."
Poppy raised his head: "Miss Ye Er."
Ye Chu's tone was extremely positive: "We have seen it before."
Poppy's heart softened, but her mouth did not relax at all: "Really? I can't remember clearly."
Ye Chu said, "If Chief Su doesn't remember, I can remind you."
Poppy's eyes were calm, and she did not answer.
Poppy didn't seem to want to mention the previous things, Ye Chu could only choose to arouse her.
Ye Chu's lips pressed into a straight line.
Her eyes were locked on the poppy, and she stayed for a moment: "There was a reactionary wounding incident in the German-Chinese Hotel in Peking."
Poppy's fingers tapped the wall of the coffee cup lightly.
Ye Chu continued: "A restaurant in Peking once had a gun breaking the glass during a meal."
Poppy's hand rubbed the hot coffee cup, which seemed to ease his emotions.
Poppy's every move completely fell into Ye Chu's eyes, and she had almost confirmed the facts.
"That's right." Ye Chu said indifferently, "and Tianxing cloth house..."
Poppy raised her eyebrows. She thought her acting skills were good enough, but she didn't expect that she would not be able to act in front of Ye Chu.
All the skills she learned could not be used to deal with Ye Chu.
Ye Chu said word by word: "The gunshot is for you to show up."
Ye Chu pressed on step by step.
She knew that Poppy's alert had been removed little by little under her deliberate inspiration.
Ye Chu lowered his head, pretending to be looking at the cup of coffee in his hand.
She wants to give Poppy some time.
Poppy looked at Ye Chu.
In the moment Ye Chu couldn't see, Poppy's eyes were gentle and watery.
There were two people sitting at the coffee table, and no one spoke again between them.
The air seemed to stagnate.
Ye Chu slumped the hand on his side and clenched his fist, his heart heavy.
Who is she
Why did she entrust Jiang Xun to look after the Ye family
Ye Chu had a very unlikely guess, but she didn't dare to think further, she didn't know what the result would be.
She was afraid that it was true, and she was afraid that it was false.
The person Ye Chu thought of, she had already declared dead.
If Su Yan is her, then what has she experienced over the years
If Su Yan is not her, then what is her purpose for doing these things
…
Ye Chu's thoughts turned thousands of times, and finally, her eyes gradually became clear, as if the mist had cleared.
She let go of her hand and made a decision.
Ye Chu raised his eyes and put down the coffee in his hand.
The coffee swayed a little in the cup, and gradually calmed down.
The bright sunshine outside the window fell on the table.
There are two cups of coffee, the same white porcelain cup, and the same black coffee.
The coffee was placed in the cup silently, no one moved.
She looked into Poppy's eyes, as if she wanted to understand the secret there.
Ye Chu's eyes were clear, she was getting closer and closer to the secret.
She spoke slowly and asked a question.
"Are you Mr. Jiang's client?"
