In Ling Shu's eyes, that quiet and beautiful little house had turned into a monster's mouth, which would open at some point and swallow people with their belts and bones. Sun may be one of the victims.
The note calling for help was not something she made out of nothing.
For a moment, the master and the servants were fighting in the house, and the servants joined together to make money and kill their lives. All kinds of speculations flashed before my eyes.
Ling Shu even felt that Sun's life was indeed in danger. If the maid and the rickshaw driver did something to the Sun in the house, and then used the excuse of dying from a sudden illness, Shen Renjie, who was watching from the street, would be useless. In the end, at best, it can only prevent the murderer from escaping, but it cannot prevent Sun from being killed.
It seems that saving the Sun family is imperative.
Ling Shu didn't rush into Sun's house, but went to Shen Renjie first.
Shen Renjie was still selling cakes in that dress. The foreigners knew he was a man, but they found it interesting to see him acting in a strange manner, and they were willing to buy it. Shen Renjie used half-baked English to compete with the guests The owner of the cake shop is happy that his business is booming, and he doesn't care about him.
Just after sending off two guests, a man and a woman, Shen Renjie saw Ling Shu, but he didn't react, and he said, "Hello?"
"Don't bother, I have something to look for you!"
Ling Shu was in a hurry, and at first glance, it was serious business.
Shen Renjie didn't dare to delay, so he told the boss and pulled the wig off at the back of the store, even though he didn't have time to remove the heavy makeup on his face, it looked funny.
Ling Shu dragged him to a corner where no one was around, and told everything he had just seen.
After listening to Shen Renjie, he said, "It's not easy. I'll go to the patrol room and call for people. I'll follow you to snatch the guys in and arrest them."
Ling Shu: "Did you bring your patrol room outfit with you?"
Shen Renjie: "I brought it."
The owner of the cake shop knew his identity, so it was not troublesome to change clothes.
The trouble is that the heavy makeup on the face can't be washed for a while, and it's even more strange after changing clothes.
Ling Shu didn't care so much: "That's it, let's go to the door openly and honestly, and take the opportunity to bring Sun and Lu Zude out to ask about the situation!"
Shen Renjie reluctantly packed up and followed Ling Shu to knock on the door.
After knocking for a long time, the talent inside was long overdue.
Behind the door is the maid, Sister Song.
When she saw Ling Shu, she was stunned for a moment, and then she saw Shen Renjie in a patrol costume behind her, panic flashed on her face.
"Mr. Ling, why are you here again?"
"This is a good use of words." Ling Shu clapped his palms twice, "Why, why don't you invite me in?"
Sister Song forced a smile and said, "How can you, it's just that you came here by accident. Mrs. Sun took the child out and hasn't come back yet."
Ling Shu: "That's right. I'll come in and wait for her. The sugar-fried chestnuts you bought last time were good. I've been thinking about them, but I don't know where you bought them. I have to trouble you to buy them again."
As he said that, he gently pushed aside the maid, and the man entered in a grand manner.
Shen Renjie followed behind.
How can there be such a shameless person
The maid's eyes widened, but she didn't dare to stop them.
Not to mention Ling Shu, Shen Renjie's clothes alone were enough to make her terrified.
"This is the chief of the patrol room, his surname is Shen, you can just call him Chief Shen. Chief Shen is a rising star of the old gate arrest room, a rising star, highly valued by the boss, and will be promoted in the near future, and will be in charge of your affairs in the future. One piece."
The last few sentences are purely free gifts without money.
Shen Renjie was so blown away that he almost thought it was true.
Shen Renjie was very interested in the interior decoration and looked around.
"This is an enamel longevity plate with a hundred characters for longevity in large and small. Although it is a recent imitation, it is quite valuable. That vase is a combination of Chinese and Western, with Western women and Chinese women on it. It is on the market. It’s relatively rare, I’ve asked, if it’s in a pawn shop, it’s worth at least a few dozen.”
Ling Shu was very interested, and introduced Shen Renjie to Shen Renjie.
Those who didn't know thought that he was the owner of this house.
Shen Renjie also picked up a vase and turned it around in his hand.
The maid was trembling and did not dare to answer.
Instead, Ling Shu took the initiative to ask her, "Is your wife in good health?"
The maid hurriedly said: "Yes, it's all good, so today the young master is making a fuss about going out to play, and the wife took him out in person, saying that he was going to the theater, and I don't know when he will be back."
Ling Shu: "What drama are you watching?"
Maid: "This, I don't know."
Ling Shu: "It's okay, I'm fine today, I'll just wait here for her to come back, I'm sure she'll be very happy when she sees a distinguished guest like me and Chief Shen."
maid:…
Ling Shu didn't care what she was thinking, and he ordered: "What are you still doing, go out and help me buy two sugar-fried chestnuts! Otherwise, when your wife comes back, I am afraid that you will be unhappy when she sees that you neglect the guests! "
The maid said in a low voice, "There's no one at home, I'll go out after my wife comes back. It's not that I can't trust the two of you, but my wife told me to watch the house. I can't leave without permission, or my wife will be blamed when she comes back, so please don't ask the two gentlemen. It's hard for me!"
Under normal circumstances, when there are guests, the host's servants can't leave, but Ling Shu is anxious to find someone to come out, and she is skeptical of everything she said.
"Well, we'll wait here, you can serve us tea."
The other party couldn't drive people away, so he had to swallow his anger.
After a while, tea was delivered, and Ling Shu had a new request.
"I'm a little hungry, you can't go out to buy chestnuts, there's always something to eat, right?"
Maid: "...How about I give you a gnocchi?"
Ling Shu: "Aren't you that hungry? Don't you have western-style snacks? Forget it, you don't understand this, so you can order two bowls of noodles, vegetables and eggs."
Didn't you say you weren't very hungry? The maid cursed inwardly, sampling Shen Renjie's patrol uniform, and had to walk back honestly.
Seeing her leaving, Ling Shu gave Shen Renjie a wink, indicating that the latter was optimistic, and went up to the second floor by himself.
He suspected that the Sun family did not leave the house at all, but was placed under house arrest.
There are four rooms on the second floor, one of which is the master bedroom, which is the room where Sun lives. Ling Shu had already recognized the way when he came here last time. Seeing that the door was closed, he immediately grabbed the door handle.
The door was unlocked and opened with a twist.
The curtains were still drawn tightly, but there was nothing on the bed.
The quilt was messy and unfolded. Maybe the master got up in a hurry, but the maid shouldn't have cleaned it up.
Ling Shu entered and looked around.
He opened the wardrobe in turn, walked to the window again, and opened the corner of the curtain.
From here, you can see the street scene downstairs, as well as the clothing stores and cake shops across the street.
There are also several pots of bellflower on the windowsill, reflecting the sunset, which is extraordinarily brilliant.
But he didn't come to see the scenery or the flowers. He closed the curtains and began to search under the bed again.
Ling Shu bent over and lifted the sheets!
There was nothing under the bed.
He was a little disappointed, but then snorted.
After getting closer, he saw a small strand of hair near the pillow.
The hair is soft and slender, and it should be no one else except Sun. The cutoffs are different, indicating that it was accidentally torn off in a hurry, or maybe it was involuntarily.
So, Mr. Sun didn't go out at all, is he still in this house
Ling Shu did not dare to jump to conclusions.
He left the master bedroom and went to the other bedrooms, to no avail.
The last bedroom is actually a cloakroom. After entering, there are cabinets on both sides.
A floor-to-ceiling mirror of equal height stands beside the cabinet behind the door.
The cabinet next to Ling Shu's mirror.
It's full of clothes.
Assortment of clothes.
Winter coats, summer cheongsams, thick woolen skirts, and civilized clothes with jackets and skirts.
Ling Shu frowned.
Not to mention that Sun, who is a widow, came up with the idea of wearing school skirts, and why are the sizes of these clothes still different
Could it be that the Sun family had a dream of going to school a few years ago
This is outrageous.
Ling Shu stretched out his hand and rubbed it, and found that these clothes were not brand new, some of them had been soaked in water, and some of them could be seen to have been worn for a long time, and their color had faded a lot.
Tuk Tuk!
Ling Shu's hands trembled.
No lights were turned on in the room, only the afterglow of the setting sun outside.
Tuk Tuk Tuk!
The sound came from the last closet!
Ling Shu suddenly looked over.
"Mr. Ling, you can't do this, how can you break into the house!"
The voice of the maid, Sister Song, rang in the stairwell. She must have found that Ling Shu was upstairs to search. Shen Renjie was chatting with her. clutter up.
Across the door, Ling Shu heard Shen Renjie yelling, but he didn't seem to be able to stop people, and it seemed that several people were running towards here.
The person at the head was extremely ferocious, and he directly asked Shen Renjie to stop him without saying a word, and even asked his subordinates to open the rooms on the second floor one by one to find someone, but he came to the last room in a moment, and he didn't want to slam the door open!
Ling Shu just happened to open the last closet, which is the one that made the knocking sound just now!
Still clothes.
Nothing.
Ling Shu directly flipped through his hands and turned over his clothes.
But this is really just an ordinary wardrobe, full of clothes, not to mention people, not even a mouse.
The tuk-tuk sound just now seemed to be an illusion under Ling Shu's eagerness to find the answer.
Before he could understand, the intruders had already come forward to arrest them.
Ling Shu's mind was still spinning, but his skills were not slow at all. He raised his hand and raised his leg to force the two patrolling officers to retreat.
Until a pistol pointed to his forehead.
Ling Shu slowly raised his head, his face innocent.
"Do you have something to say, why bother, which arrest house are you from?"
The head of the person said with a cold face: "Hongkou arrest room, Zhang Jian."
Ling Shu smiled and said: "That's not right, did you see the Shen Xunzhu downstairs, that's from the Lao Zha arrest room, as for me, it's half of your colleagues, the city police station is all my own, some It's easy to say, why use a gun?"
Zhang Jian's expression didn't change. When he saw Shen Renjie, he already knew the other party's origin, and he still started to show that he didn't need to give Shen Renjie face at all, and it also showed that he had a bigger backer.
Shanghai beach is full of dragons and snakes, and the relationship is intricate like a spider web. Ordinary people may offend people without knowing it.
"We Hongkou Jufang have nothing to do with the well water of Laozha Jufang, and we have nothing to do with your city bureau. You have crossed the line."
Ling Shu: "I'm here to find a friend. The owner of this house is my friend. I can't find her. Now I suspect that her servant killed the master. Brother Zhang, please help me open a case."
Zhang Jian said coldly: "It's a coincidence that the owner of this house is reporting the case, saying that you trespassed in the house with unscrupulous intentions."
