"Mr. Jiang, what are you doing here?"
"I'm here to visit."
Jiang He took off his hat and put it aside.
"You don't seem to welcome me very much."
Ling Shu gave a fake smile: "How could it be, but others should always bring gifts when they visit the doctor. You are empty-handed, and it doesn't seem like you came to visit the doctor."
"It makes sense, it came in a hurry, I forgot."
Jiang He thought for a while, then took out a small wad of dollars from his pocket and placed it on the table.
"If it's not respectful, I'll accept it."
This is a generous master.
Ling Shu gave a thumbs up and praised: "It's refreshing!"
No matter what, he did not go to the Three Treasures Hall, but he still didn't believe that Jiang He came to visit the sick.
But the other party didn't speak first, so Ling Shu didn't ask.
Jiang He walked around the ward, paced to the window, half-hidden behind the curtains, and looked downstairs.
Ling Shu felt that in Jiang He's actions, he could often glimpse some of his habits and past swords and shadows.
For example, when a normal person stands by the window, he will only look at it generously. He will never be half-hidden like this, ready to hide his body at any time.
Only people who often lick blood at the edge of the knife and are used to lurking in the dark night will have such vigilance.
Jiang He seemed to notice the sight behind him and turned his head.
Ling Shu was sitting on the bed, wrapped in a quilt, counting the stack of dollars.
Jiang He: …
He had never seen someone as frank and rude as Ling Shu.
Naturally, I have never encountered someone rushing to take the initiative to swim in the muddy water to help him escape from pursuit and kill just to investigate clues.
"You don't seem to be curious about what I'm here for." Jiang He said.
"Isn't it here to visit a doctor?" Ling Shu raised the money in his hand, "I received my heart, there are apples on the table, you can do it yourself."
Jiang He: "Besides the US dollar, I also bring you some important news. You must be interested."
Ling Shu didn't lift his head: "I would like to hear the details."
Jiang He: "Chen Youhua is dead."
Ling Shu raised his head, shocked: "What?!"
Jiang He: "You're surprised."
Ling Shu: "Why am I not surprised?"
Jiang He: "I thought you already knew that."
Even if Ling Shu was killed, it was impossible to tell him that he not only saw Chen Youhua being killed, but also took away the relics on his body.
"Of course I don't know, thanks to you for telling me! That's over, another clue is broken. I want to find out if He Youan is lying, but I'm afraid it's a long way off."
Jiang He took out a document bag from his coat and threw it on the bed.
"This is Chen Youhua's information, you may be able to use it."
Ling Shu opened the bag and pulled out the documents, and turned it over a little.
It records Chen Youhua's archives and some past experiences when he worked in the newspaper, which is indeed very useful.
"Thank you!"
Ling Shu casually threw the jewelry box that he didn't have time to open to Jiang He.
Jiang He caught it, inexplicably.
Ling Shu said: "In order to express my gratitude, this is my return gift."
Jiang He frowned.
The reason why he sent this document to Ling Shu was to repay the favor that night.
The kindness of a life, whether it is big or small, is not small.
Jiang He didn't like to owe favors, and if he could pay it back, he would always have to pay it back.
However, Ling Shu is really interesting.
Because a boring person will never make the choice to flee with him all the way.
Jiang He opened the jewelry box, and his expression suddenly became strange.
"You gave me this?"
"Um?"
Ling Shu didn't intend to browse the information in front of him, and was putting the things back. When he looked up, he saw Jiang He turned the jewelry box.
A diamond ring stands out.
Ling Shu: …
Shouldn't Zhen Congyun give him his engagement ring? !
There are thousands of unpredictable women, and this Miss Zhen should be regarded as one of the best.
Ling Shu has met many women who are obsessed with him, but there are very few like Zhen Congyun who use him as a shield, in fact, he has other plans.
Who is the married man she fell in love with? The man that Zhen Congyun could fall in love with must be very difficult. Maybe it was a powerful person, but how could such a big person risk ruining his reputation? To hook up with a daughter who is already engaged
This woman threw the ring at him. Could it be that she really wanted to escape from the marriage? Will the man she likes go with her
Zhen Congyun's ring is naturally not inferior.
The diamonds shone brightly in the light, so bright that Ling Shu couldn't help blinking.
From the point of view of the ring design, it should still come from the hands of foreign designers.
Such a valuable ring, Miss Zhen said she didn't want it, she threw it to him like a hot potato.
"Luohua is intentional, but Liushui is ruthless. I don't like men, you should leave this ring to someone else."
Jiang He said coldly and put the box down.
Ling Shu: …
Although I didn't understand Zhen Congyun's intention in throwing this ring to himself, Ling Shu always felt that it was not a good thing, and words such as calamity and misfortune even popped up in his mind.
He didn't want to be the unlucky one at all.
Just as he was thinking of how to make up a touching story and convince Jiang He to accept the ring and become a new foe, someone pushed in the door.
Ling Shu and Jiang He, almost subconsciously, looked towards the door in unison.
In Yue Dingtang's eyes, one was sitting on the bed and the other was standing beside the bed, handing out half of the opened jewelry box.
Yue Dingtang: …
Ling Shu, Jiang He: …
Yue Dingtang was silent for a moment.
"Do I need to spare a few minutes for you?"
"unnecessary."
It was Jiang He who answered him.
Jiang He shoved the jewelry box into Ling Shu's hand.
"I'm leaving."
"and many more!"
Hearing nothing to Ling Shu's retention, Jiang He strode into a meteor and quickly disappeared at the door.
Yue Dingtang asked, "What's in the box?"
Ling Shu is weak: "Diamond ring."
Yue Dingtang had the same strange expression as Jiang He just now.
"I didn't expect your peach blossoms to bloom on men."
Ling Shu: "I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense, this ring belongs to Zhen Congyun."
Yue Dingtang frowned: "Zhen Congyun? What is she here for?"
Ling Shu will briefly explain the situation just now.
"Do you know who the married man she likes is?"
Yue Dingtang: "I don't know, my family and the Zhen family have never had any dealings, just to say hello to each other. The reason why the third sister introduced her to me was because of someone else's introduction, so she shouldn't refuse rashly. ."
Ling Shu gloated: "Thank you for not seeing the right eye. If you like this Miss Zhen, and she turns around and puts on such a green hat for you, what should you do?"
Yue Dingtang said calmly, "Now it seems that the person she's staring at is you."
Ling Shu choked.
"Let's talk about other things. Jiang He sent a document about Chen Youhua."
When I fell asleep, someone brought a pillow.
Yue Dingtang left and returned, precisely because he wanted Ling Shu to contact Jiang He and ask about Chen Youhua.
Unexpectedly, Jiang He took the initiative to deliver it to the door.
"He knows that Chen Youhua is dead."
"Know."
"Then he didn't suspect you, did he?"
Ling Shu recalled and shook his head.
"He did ask, but he just mentioned it casually. The reason why he came here today should be that after learning of Chen Youhua's death, he knew that I was investigating He Youan's case and didn't want to owe me favors."
Yue Dingtang pulled out a stack of documents, flipped through it a few times, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows.
"Jiang He really has some skills."
There are many things that can’t be found if you follow the white way, but Jiang He is different. Those people under him are like the gang members of the Green Gang, and they are all over Shanghai, especially the docks, gambling halls, dance halls, and pawn shops. , these places are mixed with dragons and snakes, and it is easiest to get news and inquire about news.
Maybe Lu Tongcang felt that his powerful arm was too strong, and he could no longer control it, so he wanted to kill.
"Chen Youhua is really not his real name. Chen Youhua's real name is Cheng Feng. He is a chemistry teacher at Shanghai Jiuying Middle School. Later, he was fired because he was lazy and did not know how to make progress. He fought with other teachers and was fired. After that, he went to work in a newspaper office and changed his name to Chen Youhua. Until he was hunted down and disappeared in an accident."
"What about the population of his family?"
"When he was a teacher in a middle school, his resume stated that he was from Ji'an, Jiangxi. He had parents and an only son, that is, himself. He was unmarried and had a middle school education. He didn't write anything about it. He needed an interview when he entered the school. He must have It is passed, otherwise it is impossible to get a job, but this person must also have problems, most people want to apply for a job, and they wish they could write as detailed as possible, but Chen Youhua did the opposite, which is one of the oddities."
"Also, according to his colleagues in middle school, Chen Youhua seldom mentioned his family at school, and his temperament was withdrawn. But when he went to the newspaper office, he became friendly and amiable. You see, His colleagues at the newspaper gave him a good evaluation, saying that Chen Youhua is optimistic and kind, and he is a good person. How can such two completely opposite personalities appear in the same person?"
"If Chen Youhua is indeed Cheng Feng, then there is only one explanation. One of his aspects is deliberately disguised, or his withdrawn and optimistic are all disguised. No one knows his true character, nor does he People know his origin, everything he has is like a mystery, and now that he is dead, unless someone related to him is found, maybe even the name Cheng Feng is fake."
Yue Dingtang was lost in thought.
Ling Shu also needed some time to sort out his thoughts.
Since Jiang He could take this information as a human affection, then its authenticity is almost inseparable.
"Have you been to Mingde Bookstore?" Yue Dingtang suddenly asked.
"Yes, Jiang He and I suspected that he went somewhere, and he also asked someone to check the Mingde Bookstore in Hangzhou. Coincidentally, after Chen Youhua died, I came back from Hangzhou, and the Mingde Bookstore closed that night. Now, there is a notice posted outside the door, saying that the owner is going out, and the return date is undetermined, and the book guest is invited to move elsewhere."
Although there is also a problem with the manual store, they have been unable to follow this clue to trace the past.
Going around in circles, there is still one He Youan left.
All clues are in He Youan alone.
"I still can't figure it out, why did He Youan entrust us to check the threat letter? If everything has something to do with her, she will only make things that no one pay attention to, but instead arouse our attention."
"Two possibilities."
Yue Dingtang said lightly.
"One is that the matter has nothing to do with He Youan. She didn't know that Shen Shiqi wanted to kill Chen Youhua, and she didn't know that Chen Youhua escaped the assassination. It was purely a coincidence that the two of them would appear in the bookstore before and after."
"Another possibility is that she and Chen Youhua are in the same group. She pulled us into the game, but she thought that she could drag us into the water when needed. To put it harshly, she pushed some things onto us."
Ling Shu: "I don't think she is such a person."
Yue Dingtang: "Your impression of her has deviated from the objective position."
Ling Shu innocently said, "Why do I think your impression of her has already formed a prejudice?"
Yue Dingtang: "You said it yourself, all the coincidences are not coincidences. When Chen Youhua went to Mingde Bookstore, why did she just go to Hangzhou? Hangzhou is so big, why did she choose Mingde Bookstore? Germany?"
Ling Shu said: "Chen Wendong wants to kill me, she could have chosen not to send that note, which shows that she still has basic goodwill towards us."
Yue Dingtang: "You are too naive."
Ling Shu: "Old Yue, although human nature may not be inherently good, He Youan has not done anything to hurt us so far. I think this matter can still make a breakthrough in her."
Yue Dingtang: "Tell me about it."
Ling Shu: "Take it as if it has nothing to do with her. Chen Youhua must have an accomplice. If he really killed Shen Shiqi, Chen Youhua's accomplice might even attack He Youan. I warn He Youan to see what she does. reaction."
Yue Dingtang: "What if she doesn't react at all?"
Ling Shu: "I always have some confidence in seeing people."
Just a few minutes after saying this sentence, Ling Shu felt a little regretful.
He stood outside He Youan's ward, staring at the two bodyguards.
The movement of moving things came from the ward, and it sounded that He Youan was not alone, but the door was closed, and nothing could be seen, and the gatekeeper refused to report, so Ling Shu had to continue to waste.
It wasn't until the nurse came to change the medicine and knocked on the door that Ling Shu took the opportunity to shout.
"Miss He, I'm Ling Shu, I'm here to see you!"
"You boy!"
"What are you doing!"
The two bodyguards were furious, and they were about to set him up and throw him out.
Fortunately, He Youan finally heard it.
"Is that Mr. Ling? Please come in."
Ling Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly dodged in under the stare of the bodyguard.
But when he went in, he found that there were two large suitcases in the room. Two servants were helping He Youan to pack and go in and out. Some things had to be asked her to throw away or keep them from time to time.
"Miss He, are you going out?"
"Yes, I should be leaving Shanghai soon."
"Where to?" Ling Shu asked subconsciously.
"I haven't decided yet, maybe it's Hong Kong, maybe it's abroad, walk around and relax."
After a few days of not seeing him, He Youan has changed a bit.
This change is difficult to articulate in a few words.
He Youan is still the same He Youan.
Still beautiful, quiet and peaceful.
If it is said that He Youan in the past was like a flower hanging on the stream, bright and weak, the flowers fall with the flow, and there is nowhere to rely on, but now she is like a stone in the stream, no matter how many times the water rushes from her side, the pillow flows and looks at the moon, Static shadow Shen Bi, never wavered.
This kind of change is extraordinarily subtle. If it wasn't for Ling Shu who had been paying special attention to her after a few days before and after, he would have never noticed it.
Even a careless person wouldn't be able to observe it.
"Why is it so sudden, isn't your scene halfway through?" Ling Shu asked.
He Youan pointed to the gauze on his forehead.
"Look at me like this, can I still continue filming? This film is definitely not going to be completed, and it has to be replaced temporarily. Mr. Cheng was afraid that I would be bored, so he let me go around. That's fine, I've lived in Shanghai long enough. Now, it's time to go out and take a look."
"That's fine, when will we leave?"
"Two days."
Ling Shu was surprised.
"In such a hurry? Your injury is not yet healed, don't you need to rest?"
He Youan smiled, "It's the same when I go to rest on the ship. Mr. Cheng brought a personal doctor. If there is any situation, he can diagnose me in time."
Ling Shu: "However, medical equipment is not as convenient as a hospital."
He Youan: "It's okay, I don't think it's a big problem, as long as it's not the intensity of filming, I can bear it."
Ling Shu finally knew where He Youan had changed.
She became cold, and her expression was no longer vivid.
Ling Shu didn't know how she treated others, at least to herself, she lost the tenderness and closeness she used to be.
"In that case, I want to say something to Miss He. Is it convenient or not?"
He Youan glanced at him and said to the two maids, "I want to eat some oranges and sugar-fried chestnuts. You guys go out and buy one for me, and come back and clean up."
After the two maids left, He Youan took out a small bag from her handbag.
"Don't worry, Mr. Ling, I promise you the remuneration, and I will definitely not make a blunder. This is the key to the HSBC No. 7708 safe. After five days, you will go to the bank to see the manager, and he will naturally take you to pick up the contents inside. ."
Ling Shu: "Why five days?"
He Youan smiled: "I'm afraid it's too late to prepare, I'm sorry for the hard work of the two of you, it's better to be more comprehensive for two more days."
Ling Shu said: "To be honest, at first I investigated this case because of the remuneration that Miss He promised, but later, the remuneration is not remuneration, it is actually secondary."
He Youan: "I understand, you saved me at the premiere, and it was definitely not for reward. Mr. Ling has a kind heart, I have always known that, and I am very grateful, but unfortunately I can't think of anything other than yellow and white things. , I can express my gratitude."
Ling Shu: "I want to know the truth?"
He Youan was surprised: "What is the truth?"
Ling Shu looked directly at her and said abruptly, "Chen Youhua is dead."
He thought that his words would change He Youan's expression.
But there was nothing, and He Youan was still at a loss.
"Who is Chen Youhua?"
Ling Shu: "Then Shen Shiqi died too, did you know?"
He Youan: "I know."
Ling Shu: "Who told you?"
He Youan said: "Mr. Cheng, he has just been here."
Ling Shu: "You don't have anything to say?"
He Youan sighed, showing a little sadness.
"What can I say? Everyone knows the relationship between Mr. Shen and me. No matter what happened to him, he died like a lamp. I can only express my condolences, pray for him, and hope that he can rest in peace under Jiuquan. ."
