Hearing the words, the old butler smiled honestly and held Tang Shenghao in his hand, without moving.
He just winked at Ling Shu.
Ling Shu received the signal and immediately grabbed the soup bowl.
"Uncle Zhou didn't give it to me, I robbed it myself. You can't blame him for that."
After taking a sip of the soup, the cold stomach immediately warmed up.
"Uncle Zhou, does this soup also include spare ribs?"
The old butler gave a thumbs up: "It's for flavor."
Ling Shu was proud: "As soon as I drink it, I will immediately know what's in it!"
Yue Ding Tang said slowly: "There is an animal that seems to be different from you."
"Sir Yue, I worked hard with Miss Zhen for the whole day for you. There is no credit or hard work. You treat the meritorious servant like this, and you are not afraid of chilling my heart?"
After drinking a bowl of soup, Ling Shu touched his heart and sighed.
"My heart is so cool."
Yue Dingtang was unmoved: "I asked you to send her away, not for the two of you to go on a date and watch a movie."
Ling Shu smiled and said, "Hehe, you are still following me, it seems that you are really worried, so what results did you follow in the end?"
Yue Ding Tang said nothing, put down the soup bowl and started to eat.
He has a very good habit of never speaking when he has food in his mouth.
This is completely different from Ling Shu.
Ling Shu had never paid attention to the speed of eating, especially when he was working in the police station before. If there was an errand in the middle of the meal, he had to either put down his job and quickly do the errand, or he had to finish it in three or two bites.
In the past when the Ling family was rich, they also paid attention to table manners, but the people in the market were busy all the time for food, clothing, housing, and transportation. The so-called food, sleep, and sleep were only prepared for people who had money and leisure. Ling Shu felt that he had completed his journey from wealth and honor. The transformation from people to ordinary people, if every meal is as elegant as Yue Dingtang, it is estimated that it will not be able to finish it in half an hour.
However, after getting along a few times, he also found a rule. When Yue Dingtang was not in a high mood or thoughtful, he would only pick the two dishes that were close to him, even if the dishes that were far away were the ones he preferred. love to eat.
Right now, it is obviously time for the Fourth Young Master Yue to be unhappy.
Ling Shu smiled.
Since the other party didn't say anything, he wasn't in a hurry.
Slowing down the speed of eating, Ling Shu tried his best to reduce the frequency of chewing from four times per second to two times, and drank the soup in small sips.
For river food like steamed fish, you still have to dip a chopstick of fish in the soup, put it in your mouth for a long time, swallow the soup, and then swallow the fish, which is the most beautiful.
Steal the floating life for half a day.
Ling Shu enjoyed himself.
Yue Ding Tang watched with cold eyes, but felt that he was idle every day, and others would like to break one day into three days, but he was fine, if it was all right, he would either lie in the office to sleep and be lazy, or go out and watch a movie while running errands—if he didn’t run away halfway , how could he encounter the assassination of He Youan
"If you have nothing to say, you can go back." He said slowly.
After dinner, the servants brought fruit. Ling Shu didn't take himself as an outsider, so he reached out and forked a piece of the signature.
"This apple is from Yantai? It's sweet and crunchy, so good!"
After Ling Shu finished eating a piece, he stretched out his hand to fork again, and the plate was taken away.
Yue Dingtang: "Uncle Zhou, see you off."
Uncle Zhou didn't move, his face was embarrassed: "Fourth Young Master..."
Yue Dingtang: "Why, I can't call you anymore? That old Hong—"
"I said it's not enough?" Ling Shu grabbed the fruit plate again and picked up an apple. "It's not that the news I found is too shocking. I'm afraid you won't be able to digest it in a while, so I'll give you some time to react. After I broke up with Miss Zhen at noon, I went to the old site where He Youan used to live and asked my neighbors, relatives and friends. So old, guess what news I heard?"
He would say this, and even if it is a mystery, the answer must be unexpected.
Yue Dingtang really had a little interest.
"She was a murderer?"
Ling Shu: "She was married."
Yue Dingtang raised his eyebrows with surprise on his face.
"Could it be that the neighbors were jealous of her development and deliberately smeared her?"
Ling Shu said: "It shouldn't be, but not many people know about this. I have visited several households. Their impression of the He Youan brothers and sisters is that they are very hard-working, reading by lights at night, and working at the wharf to support themselves and their sister during the day. , And when the sisters often go out to find odd jobs to supplement the family, until He Changan disappears, He Youan completely loses his support. With her beauty, without the protection of her brother, no one is tempted, it is strange. "
Yue Dingtang: "Go ahead and talk."
Ling Shu: "At that time there was a family surnamed Liang, whose parents were acquainted with He Youan's parents, and both parents died in the family, but the situation was better than that of the He family. I have long liked He Youan and proposed marriage to her."
Yue Dingtang: "She agreed?"
Ling Shu: "Agreed, one of the witnesses at the time was He Youan's neighbor who told me about this, an old man surnamed Zhong. Unfortunately, not long after the two got married, her husband Liang Zhou was tempted to smoke Poison, secretly smoking cigarettes behind He You'an's back, thinking of getting rich overnight and earning back the money from smoking cigarettes, but ended up losing everything in the casino."
Being addicted to cigarettes these days, let alone drug addiction.
Yue Dingtang: "It seems that the family has been destroyed."
Ling Shu: "Even though I didn't hit it, it's not far off. Liang Zhou didn't suffer from a cigarette poisoning attack and died. Instead, he was beaten to death in a gambling hall because he lost money and couldn't repay the gambling capital. He couldn't be cured when he came back that day."
Yue Dingtang said: "Some gambling halls will keep a hand, not killing people on the spot, but getting internal injuries, just when people go home, and it is easy to clear the responsibility. It's no use."
Ling Shu: "Yes, after Liang Zhou's death, He You'an only knew that Liang Zhou had ruined all his family property because he smoked a lot of cigarettes, and borrowed usury outside, and the profits were rolling in, even if she didn't eat or drink for ten years. Their odd jobs can’t be repaid, not to mention Liang Zhou has a younger brother Liang Ye who is studying and needs to pay. The debt almost overwhelmed them, until not long after, He Youan went to sell flowers outside the cinema and was seen by Shen Shiqi.”
Yue Dingtang: "Is this what He Youan's neighbor told you?"
Ling Shu nodded: "He Youan has many fans. Once this incident spreads, it will definitely damage her image and make her reputation and value plummet. The old neighbors received hush money and pity He Youan's rough life, so it has not been publicized."
Yue Dingtang: "How could they tell you that?"
Ling Shu raised his chin slightly: "This is naturally my ability, Uncle Zhou, do you think so?"
The old butler smiled and said nothing.
Yue Dingtang: "Then what are you going to do next?"
Ling Shu: "Don't be impatient, I found more than that. Through the old neighbor, I found Liang Ye, Liang Zhou's younger brother, the address of He You'an's ex-brother-in-law. Coincidentally, the place where he is currently studying is in the right place. It's the university where you teach. In other words, Chief Yue, this Liang Ye is still your student!"
Yue Dingtang: "Which department?"
"Spanish department, sophomore year." Ling Shu brows brightly, "And even more coincidentally, the casino that seduced Liang Zhou to make a big bet and ended up ruining Liang Zhou's family, the real boss behind it is Lu Tongcang's side. Little brother, Jiang He."
Yue Dingtang: "He Youan said that because Lu Tongcang was interested in her, Jiang He was very dissatisfied, for fear that the beauty would be mistaken and hurt Lu Tongcang, and he sent someone to warn her."
Ling Shu: "That's right, it's him."
Yue Dingtang: "But this should have happened after He Youan's shadow."
Ling Shu: "Could it be that Lu Tongcang had already met He You'an before that, and set up this game to make her compromise and sell herself? It's a pity that Shen Shiqi was cheap in the end?"
Yue Dingtang: "This is just your guess."
Ling Shu: "Therefore, further verification is needed. I plan to go to Liang Ye and Jiang He tomorrow. Maybe I can get something from them."
Yue Dingtang looked at the fruit plate.
One apple was cut into eight pieces, and I only ate two pieces, and Ling Shu killed the remaining six pieces.
This person eats every day, how can he still look thin and slender, has it grown two stomachs
Seeing that he shifted his gaze from the fruit bowl to himself, Ling Shu stared at it for a moment, and couldn't help covering his heart.
"Why, you look at me too smart and want to steal my heart?"
Yue Dingtang couldn't help sighing.
He felt that in getting along with Ling Shu, the first and foremost thing was to cultivate Buddhist peace and harmony to the extreme.
It makes no sense to freak out for insignificant issues. I am not angry when others are angry, and no one will take care of me when I get sick.
Yue Dingtang repeated these words several times, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he smiled at Ling Shu.
"After talking for a long time, you haven't told me what happened to Zhen Congyun."
Ling Shu: …
Xu Shi felt that Yue Dingtang's reaction was too strange, and he said it happily this time.
"After I met with Miss Zhen, I conveyed your words truthfully, and Miss Zhen didn't embarrass me, so we chatted a little more."
Yue Dingtang: "What did we talk about?"
Ling Shu: "Folk customs and fashions are popular. Although she came back from Japan, she has a wide range of knowledge and is involved in many things. She wants to come and read a lot of books on weekdays. When we talk about Chinese and foreign movies, we just talked about it. Miss He Youan He's new work, she invited me to the cinema to watch it."
Yue Dingtang: "Did you go?"
Ling Shu: "Of course not. If I go, how can I investigate the case? With my determination, I naturally declined Miss Zhen's kindness. However, Miss Zhen also invited me to dance at Paramount on the weekend, when the Zhen family will be there. Pack up Paramount, invite friends, and celebrate her birthday."
Yue Dingtang: "You agreed."
Ling Shu took out a list from his pocket and pushed it on the table.
"This is the guest list I asked for from Miss Zhen. It is all the guests she plans to invite. The black writing is for her own friends, and the red is added by her secretary to serve the Zhen family. network of contacts.”
Yue Dingtang took the list and glanced at it.
In a corner, next to Lu Tongcang and his family, there was a familiar name.
rivers.
