"Are you dead again?"
Ling Shu subconsciously came up with a sentence.
Yue Dingtang: "...Can't you hope for something better?"
Ling Shu innocently said: "You can't blame me. There are too many people who died in the case. Every time we find out, the clues are broken. If it weren't for your life, you should be lying in the coffin now, and I should I'm eating in prison."
Yue Dingtang: "It's the old housekeeper. He recruited something."
The phone number of the patrol room could not reach the consulate, and it was impossible for the person who came to report to explain the matter clearly in a few words.
Ling and Yue must go there in person.
Yue Dingtang said hello to Peng Si and took Ling Shu outside to get into the car.
Ling Shu didn't pay attention, behind him, there were always a pair of eyes following him.
Shen Shiqi's face was sullen, his gloomy and irritable eyes almost overflowed, so that no one within three feet was willing to approach him, and even those who were stalking horses on weekdays temporarily died and seemed to be invisible.
With Pence here, Shen Shiqi couldn't make trouble at the dinner party. Not only would the Americans be unhappy, his uncle would not let him go, but if he left here, no one else would be able to control him.
Shen Shiqi sneered slowly.
"Young Master Shen."
Shen Shiqi nodded, and He Youan came over with two glasses of wine.
"Have a glass of wine and calm down, okay?"
She is gentle and tactful, just like the countless daughters and wives and mothers who have played countless daughters on the screen.
As long as a beauty has an outstanding temperament, she is not only a beauty, but can enter the ranks of unforgettable great beauties.
Although He Youan is like a vase when she is silent and silent, but when she speaks and smiles, there is a dazzling brilliance of flowers shaking, and even every move becomes beautiful.
No man is immune to such beauty, and Shen Shiqi was no exception at first, so he took great pains to get the beauty, but at this moment, even facing this face, he could not eliminate the resentment and anger in his heart .
"You were hiding just now, for fear of my anger? Or did you go to a private meeting with that surnamed Ling?" Shen Shiqi said sadly, with an expression like a ghost returning from hell.
He You'an's voice softened: "You misunderstood, the wife of the first secretary of the consulate stopped me just now and wanted to know where I bought my earrings. I said they were given by you, and we chatted for a while. It was all mine. Wrong, don't be angry, okay?"
Her low voice failed to relieve Shen Shiqi's anger, the latter took the wine glass handed by He Youan expressionlessly, and then poured it on her.
The beauty's dark clouded hair on the temples, her face like a flower, and her face immediately filled with drinks.
Everyone was in an uproar, and everyone was watching.
"What are you doing, even if you brought Miss He here, it's not something you can bully arbitrarily! Everyone is equal in the new era, why do you still use the old one to bully people?!"
Someone immediately stepped forward and stood in front of He Youan.
He Youan has a lot of fans, and more admirers who bow to her beauty. Shen Shiqi's attitude towards her is like a plaything. Everyone has long seen it. , and everyone started to fight for her.
Naturally, there are people of the same sex who are jealous of He Youan's appearance, and secretly scolded her beauty, but the beauty Piaoping is so pitiful, she cherishes jade and protects flowers, what's wrong with it
Shen Shiqi saw that he had become the target of public criticism. Mr. Pence also turned his head to look at him from a distance. Knowing that he had made an impulsive mistake again, he had to grit his teeth and swallow his breath.
He ignored He Youan, but crossed the crowd and said goodbye to Burns before striding out of the banquet hall.
He Youan was brought by him, and as soon as he left, He Youan naturally had to keep up.
She took the handkerchief handed by the waiter and hurriedly wiped her wet hair. The look of forcibly enduring grievances and smiling happily could make anyone, regardless of gender, be moved by it.
Immediately, someone couldn't stand it any longer: "Miss He, you don't have to go with him. I can take you back later. My father still has a little face in Shanghai, and he doesn't dare to do anything to you!"
He Youan smiled gratefully at him: "If it wasn't for Shen Gongzi who brought me here, I would not have the chance to meet you tonight. He can be ruthless, but I can't be unrighteous. Although I come from a humble background, I have to abide by this duty as a human being. No matter what. In the same way, thank you very much tonight, the new movie will be released the next day, and I will have someone send you movie tickets."
These words are reasonable and open, and even those who didn't like her before have slightly changed their impressions. The woman is soft-hearted and her stance is easily shaken. He Youan has gained many supporters.
"Then if you are made trouble by him, you must tell us. I will write you the phone number, and you will go directly to my house, Liu Mansion, and tell me Liu Wu's name, and someone will tell me."
"Yes, I'll tell your film company when I look back and ask them to send two people to protect you!"
"Shen Shiqi doesn't dare to do anything. He still has to rely on his uncle for food. I'll ask my dad to tell his uncle to keep you safe and make movies. Don't worry about anything else."
He Youan was surrounded by gossip and gave her courage.
She thanked everyone one by one, then walked out of the door quickly, followed by Shen Shiqi's bodyguard who was waiting there.
Shen Shiqi was already sitting in the car with a gloomy expression, not much better than when he left.
If Ling Shu had filled the gunpowder barrel in half before, and the guests at the meeting later defended He You'an, it would have added fuel to the fire, causing Shen Shiqi to break out completely, but he had to hold back in the end.
The expression under the mottled light and shadow is more gloomy than before.
He Youan sighed secretly and said softly, "Young Master Shen, I'm back."
Shen Shiqi: "Why are you willing to come back? There are so many people who admire you. Why don't you leave with others to save you being angry with me."
He Youan: "I was brought by you, so I naturally want to go with you. I understand that you are good to me, that Ling Ling is just a small person, and he is not worth your attention at all, so don't be angry, okay? it is good?"
Her chin was suddenly pinched and forcibly pulled closer.
So close, Shen Shiqi's breath almost sprayed on her face.
Mixed with the alcohol splashed on his face just now, and the smell of alcohol in the other party's nose, He Youan's eyes quickly became wet.
"Young Master Shen..."
"Don't think that in front of people, you are a much-anticipated movie star, your wings will be hard, you can leave me and fly solo, and if I can hold you out, I can also drag you down and make you stronger than before—"
Shen Shiqi said every word, gloomy and cruel.
"Fall worse!"
He Youan's breath was weak, and her eyelashes trembled.
At that moment, it was like a swan about to break its neck, on the verge of dying.
She may not know that the beauties in distress often fall into the darkness, crying and begging for mercy, but it can even arouse some people's sadistic desire to destroy beauty.
"I understand, Young Master Shen, I've belonged to you all my life, and I've never dared to have two hearts."
…
When Ling Shu and the others saw the old housekeeper, the other party's expression was pale, and he was powerless to even speak.
This is not because of the torture in the patrol room. The old butler is so old that he can't stand a tiger stool or chili water, but after being arrested, facing the oppression of the interrogation room and the gloomy and oppressive interrogation of the interrogators, it is very difficult. Some people can still keep their spirits outside.
"Yuan Mansion is haunted, it's me, I let Sancai scare people!"
After all this tossing, the old butler finally didn't dare to go around in circles anymore. When he saw Ling Shu and the others, he immediately got straight to the point and said what they wanted to hear.
Shen Renjie next to him handed him a small bowl of water to quench his thirst.
Yue Dingtang: "So, you killed people too?"
The housekeeper waved his hand quickly: "No, no! I've never killed anyone! I've been with the old man since I was a teenager, and I've always been loyal to the Yuan family, so how could I possibly kill my master!"
Shen Renjie: "Then why do you let Sancai scare people!"
The old housekeeper took a breath. Judging from his expression, Ling Shu found that the other party didn't want to mention this matter at all, but the reality developed step by step, and it has completely deviated from the original track, and the old housekeeper also began to panic.
Three people, six eyes were staring at each other, the flickering lights in the interrogation room seemed to be haunted by ghosts, and they couldn't rest their eyes. Outside the bars, the shadows of trees swirled and rustled.
But it's just because I can't hear it clearly that it makes me even more terrified.
The old butler's psychological defense line completely collapsed.
"Because, because when the old man was alive, he left a lot of property to the Yuan family!"
Ling Yue and the two looked at each other.
They had speculated before that the murderer had murdered several times and seemed to have an affair with Du Yunning, but in fact, they went around in circles and finally revolved around the Yuan family. It was probably because the Yuan family had something that they could not ask for.
Now it seems that the death of Du Yunning, Yuan Bing and Alan, even if it has nothing to do with the old housekeeper, must have something to do with it.
"What property?"
The hands of the old butler holding the bowl kept shaking, and his expression changed, showing a fierce struggle in his heart.
Up to now, he has been unable to continue to hide this secret code that has been buried for many years.
"Gold, countless gold... enough to fill half a room!"
Not only Shen Renjie couldn't close his mouth, even Ling Shu and Yue Dingtang couldn't help showing shock.
Caibo is heartwarming, fortunately there are only three of them in the interrogation room, otherwise it would be difficult to guarantee that other people would go crazy and cause trouble after hearing the news.
Yue Dingtang glanced at Shen Renjie at the right time.
How clever is the latter, he immediately stood up and stood at attention: "All the contents of the case must not be disclosed until the case is closed. I will also keep the confessions of the relevant personnel in a safe place. Once it is leaked, you are the only one to ask!"
Yue Dingtang nodded and turned to the old housekeeper: "You continue. Where did the gold come from?"
Yuan Bingdao was not able to speak for a long time in Sichuan. Frustrated in the factional battle, he was soon forced to leave there. Because he looted a lot of people's fat during his time in power, and it also came from a sunken ship he found.
The sunken ship was first discovered by Yuan Bingdao's cronies. At that time, he thought it was an ordinary civilian sunken ship. Gold is jewelry.
Who is the owner of the ship, and who is sinking here, that is not the focus of Yuan Bingdao's concern. For the warlords in troubled times, nothing makes them more ecstatic than the wealth that falls from the sky.
Yuan Bingdao quickly woke up from his dream.
Although he is a warlord, warlords are also divided into big and small. Big fish eat small fish. Yuan Bingdao's power is definitely not enough to dominate. If people find that these huge wealth are concentrated in his hands, it will not take long, let alone leave Sichuan. Not even home is safe.
Yuan Bingdao thought about it for three days and three nights, and finally made up his mind. He called his cronies, took out some of the belongings, distributed them first, then disguised the rest in batches and shipped them out of Sichuan. Then he pretended to be sick and retired. Gradually faded out of Sichuan military and political circles, retreated bravely, and went to Shanghai Huahua World to enjoy happiness.
His plan was very successful. Although there were accidents on some of the roads, or they were stolen, most of the gold was shipped to Shanghai.
"Only by keeping the gold under my eyes, can the old man be at ease. But at that time, time was tight, and it was not easy to find such a house. In the end, the old man took a fancy to the Yuan Mansion, precisely because it has a large enough cellar. "
Shen Renjie: "The cellar? We searched, but we didn't find the gold you mentioned."
The old housekeeper: "What you see is just the cellar that comes with the house, and there is another floor below that."
Yue Dingtang: "Does the house already exist?"
The old housekeeper nodded: "When I bought the house, I found it by accident. It was deserted at the time, and the stones and soil were piled up, making it unusable at all. The old man had someone cleaned it up again. After hiding the gold, it was locked again, and the entrance was hidden. Ordinary people can't find it at all, and even if they do, there is no key to open it."
Ling Shu: "So, the haunted house is really something you made up?"
The old butler smiled wryly: "I had no choice but to have a son. He knew that the old man was used to wandering since he was a child, and he was profligate. The Yuan family is in complete decline. The grandfather gave the master the key and asked me to help keep the secret until the master cheers up or their child is born."
Yuan Bing was not as expected by his father. Not only was he infected with cigarette poison, but he also ruined the entire Yuan family's business. If that batch of gold got into his hands, the power would soon be dissipated.
But Yuan Bingdao didn't expect that not only Yuan Bing could not be counted on, but the old housekeeper didn't even wait for Yuan Bing's child to be born, Yuan Bing would die unexpectedly.
"I thought, the family business that the old man has painstakingly accumulated cannot be taken away by outsiders no matter what. I will keep this secret for a day. Even if the auntie and the others return to China in the future, at least it will be inherited by the surname Yuan."
"But things happened one after another in that house, and you all keep your eyes on it. I'm afraid that if there are too many people coming and going, sooner or later, the secrets will be discovered, so I let Sancai pretend to be a ghost there to scare people."
"It's scary and scary. I can never kill someone, sir, how could I kill the master and madam!"
"And Alan, I didn't think she would hang herself at all. This must be because she did something wrong to the master and wife, her conscience was disturbed, and it was difficult to sleep day and night, so she apologized to death!"
While speaking, Shen Renjie brought an iron box from outside.
"Mr. Yue, we found this from Alan's room. It is said that all her belongings are kept."
Yue Dingtang took it and opened it, but revealed a suspicious look.
