"I don't know what the groom's family is planning." Jian Jing had no interest in her family's calculations. "I just want to find out how the person died."
Before she finished speaking, tears suddenly flowed from the bride's eyes. It was obvious that the word "death" hurt her heart. Mrs. Nie was very distressed. She wiped away her son's tears and complained: "My daughter Rongrong is already very pitiful, and you still want to provoke her."
Jian Jing said: "Only by finding out the truth as soon as possible can we comfort the souls of the deceased."
The bride's tears flowed even more violently. But after a while, she slowly propped herself up on the bed and sat up, choking with sobs and asking, "Why do you want to do that?"
"I want to talk to her alone." Jian Jing looked at Mr. and Mrs. Nie.
Mrs. Nie didn't want to leave the house, but Mr. Nie put his arm around her shoulders and said to her softly, "The more you act like this, the more upset Rongrong will be. We have guests outside, so we should go out now."
He persuaded his wife for a long time before he led her out of the bedroom.
Only Jian Jing and the bride were left inside.
Jian Jing said carefully: "My question may be a little strange, but I hope you can think about it carefully before answering me."
The bride nodded, tears streaming down her cheeks again.
"Do you think there is anything unusual about the groom today?" she asked.
The bride asked in confusion: "I don't quite understand what you mean, what do you mean by abnormal?"
"Does he look worried? Or distracted or something," she prompted.
The bride recalled for a moment and shook her head: "No, he was very happy, just a little nervous. I am the same, who can stay calm today?"
Jian Jing thought about today's ceremony. The groom was indeed very nervous. Not only was he fidgeting, but he also suddenly forgot the words while confessing on the stage and babbled nonsense.
But all the guests understood and just laughed in good faith.
She thought about it and asked again, "How did you and the groom know each other?"
"A friend from the band introduced him to me." At this moment, the bride recalled their first acquaintance, feeling both sweet and sad. "You can't tell, I used to play rock music, and so did he. He played the guitar really well."
Jian Jing's expression was agitated: "He can play the guitar? Does he play it often?"
"This is our common hobby. I can't say he plays the piano very well, but he can play songs for me. When he proposed to me, he played my favorite song for me..." The bride said this, unable to hide her grief.
Jian Jing brought a tissue over, and waited until she calmed down a little before asking, "What kind of person is the groom?"
The bride wiped away her tears and recalled: "He was a very nice person. He was not the kind of rich young master who lived a carefree life. He was very ambitious and worked hard in his career. He was generous to his friends and never refused to lend him money or a car. He was very popular with the children."
"Do you know who he has a problem with?"
"There are definitely people I don't like, but they don't want the good ones. We didn't send out invitations, so they didn't come." The bride said, shedding tears sadly, "I really don't know who would want to kill such a good person."
Jian Jing objectively said: "It's either a dispute over interests or an emotional dispute."
The bride suddenly remembered something and said hesitantly, "He has a friend who is quite extreme. She even came to me and begged me to return him to her. It's really weird."
"Did she say anything strange?"
"They said she was pitiful, and that she had been with him for many years and couldn't live without him." The bride frowned, "Did she do it?"
Jian Jing said, "I don't know what's going on now. By the way, does the groom have any food preferences?"
"He likes to eat seafood and other things. He doesn't drink much because he is allergic to alcohol and gets a rash. But he also doesn't like things like milk tea. He usually drinks soda water." The bride listed all of her details.
Jian Jing asked: "Do you like pickled food?"
"Not much."
She asked the bride a few more questions before saying goodbye and leaving.
Before leaving, the bride pleaded: "You must find out who killed him."
"I'll try my best."
Jian Jing sat in the living room, and Best Man Lu stood up impatiently: "Is it ok?"
"President, I have something else to do, so I'll be away for a while." Without even looking at him, she explained her whereabouts to President Kang.
Kang Mucheng was sitting next to his mother. Hearing this, he wanted to say something, but was stopped by his mother. President Kang said calmly, "Call me if you have anything, Jingjing. In my heart, you are no different from my own son."
She said this while glancing at Best Man Lu, her words conveying a warning.
Best Man Lu swore, "However I took the person away, I will bring him back to you later."
"Let's go." Jian Jing walked hurriedly and only gave Kang Mucheng a soothing look.
After they left, Kang Mucheng said, "Mom."
"I know what you want to say. Am I blind? Can't I see that something is wrong with the Nie family?" President Kang said unhappily, "They don't want you to know, so you just ask."
Kang Mucheng sneered: "What's the point of dragging Jingjing into their family affairs?"
"There must be a special reason." President Kang seemed to be thinking about something. "You said that Jingjing has really grown up and has her own ideas. You should also manage her like a child. She also needs to have her own social life. It's a good thing for her to get to know more people."
"Just Lu Yu?" Kang Mucheng frowned.
President Kang said pertinently: "As the heir of Qusheng Liquor, the only son of the Lu family, it is inevitable that he is arrogant, after all, he is young and full of energy. But Jingjing is more capable than I thought. Look at her, she is not timid at all, which is really good."
In her memory, Jian Jing was an introverted girl who was not good at socializing. Now it seems that although she is not good at socializing, she is quite courageous and insightful, which is just what she likes.
When she started her business, she didn't even have an office, only a printing press, but she still dared to bargain with people and even threatened them: "Sign it to me, and you'll have your books used as toilet paper."
The other party was intimidated by her and signed the contract with her, thus earning his first pot of gold.
"She has changed a lot, but..." Kang Mucheng sighed, but ultimately did not tell the truth to his mother.
He felt that judging from Jian Jing's condition, there was a high probability that someone had died.
Jian Jing returned to the scene and examined the body of the deceased again.
This time, she took off the clothes of the corpse.
Best Man Lu was horrified: "Isn't this bad?"
"I want to examine the body of the deceased without taking off clothes. Can I use X-ray vision?" Jian Jing carefully stuffed the clothes into a transparent plastic bag, trying her best not to contaminate the evidence.
"You're a little kid, you should be more careful." Best Man Lu reminded gently.
Jian Jing: "If you feel embarrassed, you can go away."
Best Man Lu had no choice but to keep silent. He now had a very subtle feeling towards her, on the one hand he felt a little fresh that "she was different from the others", and on the other hand he was a little suspicious that "was she trying to attract my attention on purpose".
… Well, I feel a little angry—“She doesn’t really care about me.” I feel a little annoyed—“I don’t know what’s going on with Xiaoyan, why am I thinking about this?”
Several thoughts swirled in my mind for a moment, and suddenly I realized, isn't this the mental journey of the male protagonist in the domineering CEO novels that everyone has complained about
Once upon a time, the brothers talked about this topic and made fun of it.
"What kind of person have we not seen before who would do such a stupid thing?"
"People who write books like this are probably crazy about marrying into a wealthy family."
"This is fucking hilarious. She's staying pure for this guy. Who? Show us around."
However, the slap in the face came late.
Best man Lu felt an unknown embarrassment, but fortunately he managed to hide it.
"Come here for a moment." Jian Jing suddenly called him.
Best Man Lu came to his senses and asked, "What's the matter?"
"Has your cousin ever had laparoscopic surgery?" Jian Jing asked.
"Probably not." Best Man Lu said hesitantly.
Jian Jing pointed at the corpse's abdomen and said, "He has scars from the laparoscopy. Judging from the healing status, he should be healed within a year."
Best Man Lu said: "I didn't say it, or maybe I didn't know."
She nodded and said simply, "Take me to see the landlord."
"Do you know who the murderer is?" Best Man Lu was surprised.
Jian Jing said: "I don't know."
"Then you'd better not bother your uncle." Best Man Lu kindly reminded, "My uncle is a very strict person. If you don't complete his instructions, he might not be very nice to you."
However, she said firmly: "He will meet me."
Best Man Lu was skeptical, but the fact was as she said. Mr. Fang immediately agreed to meet Jian Jing and only wanted her to go in.
"You knew it a long time ago?" Jian Jing asked first when they met. "Before, you told me that 'my child died', not the groom's name."
The landlord asked back, "What did you find out?"
Jian Jing didn't keep the topic in suspense and got straight to the point: "The person who died was not today's groom, but someone who looked exactly like him - are they twins?"
The bride said that the groom loved to play guitar and played it well, but the dead man's fingers had no calluses from years of practice. She also checked the dead man's skin condition, which was rough, like an ordinary man, not a rich young man who lived a life of luxury.
The landlord sighed softly but did not deny it: "Ms. Jian, you need to keep what you know confidential."
"Okay, but you have to tell me everything you know." Jian Jing said.
Director Fang was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Xiaoyan's mother was my former secretary. Twenty years ago, I gave her a sum of money and took Xiaoyan away, thinking that the matter was over. Who knew that she gave birth to twins and kept one of them for herself.
"When Xiaoyan was six years old, she suddenly came to my house and asked me for another payment of child support. For the sake of the child, I agreed. In total, I have given her tens of millions over the years, but she has never been satisfied. She even took the initiative to ask to see Xiaoyan."
Jian Jing asked, "So, the groom knows that his biological mother is not Mrs. Fang?"
Mr. Fang nodded slightly.
This can explain the relationship between the groom and Mrs. Fang. Yang En is still there, so he is sad, but she is not his biological mother, and he did not raise her by himself, so it is natural that he is not heartbroken.
"How did you know that the groom had changed today?" she asked.
"At half past ten, I received a call from Xiaoduo, the kid, who told me that Xiaoyan had eloped with someone else and asked him to come and complete the wedding for him to avoid embarrassment for the family. I asked and found out that Xiaoyan was indeed missing. It was too late to cancel the wedding, so I had to agree to this solution for the time being."
"You have no doubts?"
"Xiaoyan and Xiaoduo are biological brothers after all. When Xiaoduo was sick, Xiaoyan also had a stomachache at home. How can the relationship between twins be severed? So I didn't stop them from dating. If Xiaoyan really has something to do, it's normal for him to look for Xiaoduo."
Director Fang's narration was very calm: "Miss Jian, you have to know that there are so many people coming to today's wedding. If this matter gets out, my family will be embarrassed, and the Nie family will not be able to hold their heads up. This is the best way."
Jian Jing thought: "So, have you found a groom? If he doesn't come, it will be too late to end it now."
"I sent someone to check his passport and bank card, and there was no record of him going abroad." Director Fang frowned. "To be honest, I was also puzzled by this. I was planning to ask Xiaoduo about it, but as you can see, he died suddenly."
"So, the groom is still missing?" Jian Jing said, "Maybe you should speed up."
The landlord asked, "What do you mean? Do you think he's in danger?"
She said, "If I guess correctly, the groom was called out by his biological mother."
Before he finished speaking, Fang Dong's eyes suddenly flashed: "You mean, Xiaoyan was kidnapped?"
