It is not an easy task to kill Mr. Cheng.
I have to do a full inning.
The first is to separate myself from myself. Because of my brotherhood, Mr. Cheng and Shen Shiqi have never eliminated their doubts about me over the years. If they suspect me, then the whole thing will not go on.
The second is not to implicate the people around me, even if there is an unfortunate event in the end, and I die before I succeed, it is best to only stop at me, and do not need to expand.
So there was a series of death threats against myself that followed.
Because direct assassination or assassination of Mr. Cheng is obviously not feasible.
Mr. Cheng is a very suspicious person. Otherwise, with his wealth and ability, he would have been able to go to high-end places in Shanghai, chat and laugh with many big people, without having to act in a low-key manner, precisely because he also knows his identity once. Exposure can easily lead to all kinds of unexpected events. Even when he eats, he has to let people have a taste first like the ancient emperors. This was done by another lover of his, and then by me.
For the people around Mr. Cheng, this is not a chore, but a person he trusts so much that he is "fortunate" to test dishes, medicines and poisons for him. In this regard, until I wrote this letter, I still Incomprehensible.
Perhaps, this is the charm of power and money, I may never understand.
The death threats were every step of the way, ranging from light to heavy. From the warnings placed on the windowsill on the second floor of the apartment to the assassination at the premiere of the theater, I never showed any mercy to myself. I know that I have to enter the show first before I can win the trust of others, especially smart people like Mr. Ling and Mr. Cheng.
Naturally, I alone cannot complete the entire layout. Fortunately, my brother had a friend surnamed Chen before his death. He also wanted to assassinate Mr. Cheng, so from beginning to end, thanks to his help. The person who assassinated me on the day of the premiere was another friend of Mr. Chen surnamed Xiao. I don't know where they came from, and I have no intention of knowing if there are people or organizations behind them. I only know that their purpose is the same as mine. They all want to die. Since they have the same goal, they are like-minded.
I told Mr. Chen that he didn't have to be merciful. He only needed to avoid the vital parts and seriously injured me, so that I could gain the trust of others. I didn't expect you to appear, Mr. Ling.
You stepped in and made me safe, but it also gave me the idea of pulling you into the game.
I'm sorry for dragging you into the water, but you have a special identity. You were originally a complete outsider, and you have become famous for cracking the case of Yuan's mansion. With the background of the Yue family, I take the initiative to invite you to investigate the death threat. Shen Shiqi Mr. He Cheng will not be suspicious.
Later, I invited you to dinner at the restaurant. The next room was where Shen Shiqi and Mr. Cheng met and had a secret conversation. It was no coincidence. My purpose was not to eavesdrop, but to make Mr. Cheng notice me.
A few years ago, I was just an orphan. Even if I had a decent appearance, none of my experience and knowledge could attract Mr. Cheng's attention, but now it is different. The halo of a movie star can add a little bit of cost.
Mr. Cheng has seen me on the screen, but he has never seen me off the screen. Comparing the two, the more amazed I feel, the more confident I am that he will fall in love at first sight. At the very least, it is unforgettable.
"He Youan's grasp of people's hearts can be regarded as a three-pointer!"
Seeing this, Ling Shu couldn't help but sigh.
Yue Dingtang corrected: "It should be said that she grasps the mind of a man very well."
Ling Shu nodded: "Yes, do you remember when I was in the restaurant when I had a conflict with Shen Shiqi? I knew she wanted to avoid suspicion, and I didn't intend to invite her to appear. As long as she hid in the private room, there would be no later things."
Yue Dingtang: "But she showed up when it was unnecessary, and let Mr. Cheng see her face."
Ling Shu: "She came dressed up that day. I only think of a woman who loves beauty, and I don't want to relax a little at private gatherings."
Yue Dingtang: "Now you know, she's all for Mr. Cheng."
Ling Shu touched his nose: "I didn't expect that I was being used once because of my self-proclaimed smartness."
Yue Dingtang: "She didn't come for you from beginning to end, is she lost?"
Ling Shu said honestly: "A little bit, don't you have it?"
Yue Dingtang: "No."
Ling Shu looked at him suspiciously, as if trying to find some clues from the other party's expression.
However, Laoyue didn't move, and the old god was there.
Ling Shu is certain: "You must have liked He Youan!"
Even if you don't like it, you still have at least a good impression. With such a peerless beauty, who can not have a good impression.
Yue Dingtang: "No matter how beautiful the skin is, it's not what I like. The person I like must have a tacit understanding with me. What I want to do, before I say it, the other party already knows that this is the real soul mate."
Ling Shu clicked his tongue and said, "I didn't see it, Lao Yue, you still have such romantic thoughts, as expected of studying in France, I thought you were like your elder brother, you know one at home and one outside! "
At the beginning of the Republic of China, the government advocated civilized marriage, but the remnants of the previous dynasty still prevailed. Those powerful people, not to mention the concubines of Jifang, even if they were not divorced, they remarried the first-class family elsewhere. Abound.
"He's him, I'm me. I don't like a woman like He You'an. Only you are easily fascinated by other people's looks, and hearing her cry and say a few words makes her heart soft and dizzy."
Yue Dingtang was addicted to cigarettes and couldn't help touching the cigarette case, but he didn't want to miss the content of the next letter.
"But I admire her determination and perseverance. If it was someone else, I'm afraid that before Narita Palace was killed, the traces of it would have been exposed, and the success was almost complete."
Ling Shu took a few sips of water to moisten his throat and felt that he had enough rest, so he picked up the letter and read it again.
He Youan's mentality is actually an irreversible tragedy. As Yue Dingtang said, Ling Shu admires her will, but can't bear to see her ending.
As if reading more slowly, you can prevent the tragedy from happening.
Sure enough, as I expected, Mr. Cheng was obsessed with me and contacted me through Shen Shiqi.
Although Shen Shiqi didn't want to let go, he didn't dare to offend Mr. Cheng, so I came to Mr. Cheng's side smoothly.
Things are far from over, everything has just begun.
Mr. Cheng is a more suspicious and cautious person than Shen Shiqi. Even if Shen Shiqi has spent several years proving my innocence, he will not trust me too much until he was shot and assassinated during a trip. He threw him under him without hesitation. Although there was no serious problem, it also won his trust. Don't get me wrong, this assassination has nothing to do with me. People like Mr. Cheng have a low-key identity and definitely have many enemies.
Later, I took the initiative to try the dishes for him, which made him gradually take me as his own person, and even have a deep-rooted love for me.
Among them, I naturally used a lot of methods and painstaking efforts, many of which were the way I got along with men over the years, which only added two smiles, so I won't go into details here.
In short, when Mr. Cheng abandoned all the women around him, regarded me as the only one and planned to spend the rest of his life with me, he proposed that he wanted to take me out of Shanghai, and listened to his tone, and flew away, in a few years, or longer, no more return.
Shanghai is his foundation. Most of his power and identity are realized in Shanghai. If he leaves Shanghai, he will be able to live without worry, but that is definitely not what he wants.
Unless, he has more important tasks.
I have no way of knowing more, and I have no intention of digging deeper, adding to the danger of exposing myself.
Because I know it's time to do it.
And the best time was on our plane to Hong Kong.
I had to hit the ground running, and there was no room for me to go back and fail.
If you can see this letter, it means I succeeded.
As for the death of the maid Qian Shi, I actually did it, because she was the eyeliner that Shen Shiqi placed beside me.
I just use this person to remove an obstacle on my way to kill Narita.
Unexpectedly, I, a weak woman with no strength, stayed by Shen Shiqi's side for several years, and even murdered such a thing, and she was very handy, without fear and guilt. , maybe I've got both.
I did not intend to leave this letter.
But last time in the hospital, Mr. Ling had to tell me to be careful when he was suspicious of me, so I decided to tell you everything so that you wouldn't be kept in the dark.
After you said goodbye to me that day, this letter was placed in the safe no. 7708 along with the payment I gave you.
Mr. Ling, thank you, you are a good person, but unfortunately, I am sorry for your trust and concern.
However, if we don't pull you in, we are still strangers, and I can't get to know the two of you. From this point of view, it's not a bad thing, at least let me know that there are people like Mr. Ling who are loyal and affectionate in this world.
I killed Mr. Cheng, not for justice, not for the common people, but for personal enmity.
But if I have to avenge my personal revenge, I can also save more people from dying because of him, then I will be very happy. In my lifetime, I will not only be an actor in the country and the people, but also a meager power.
My knowledge is shallow and my abilities are limited. After the film, I read more scripts than I originally read. Killing one Narita Palace, there may be thousands of Narita Palaces, and many others like my brother were killed and killed, but I tried my best, and I can only think of such a way, in the future, more people will be killed. The happiness is peaceful, and I can only ask gentlemen with knowledge and ability like the two.
My brother's posthumous son, I put it in a place, and that place is the Tibetan poem you once received, and you must know it now. For his safety, I almost never visited in person, but if both Mr. Cheng and I were dead, the child should be able to live without hiding, and I would ask you two to help me bring him out and find a reliable family for adoption. That is.
The adopter does not need to be rich and noble, as long as he is kind and polite, so that he can become a self-reliant and self-reliant person when he grows up. If it is troublesome, he can also be put in a correctional institution.
I know that we meet by chance. This matter is too much trouble for the two of you. The little girl is here, kowtow and thank you. In the next life and the next life, you will definitely knot a grass ring, and the spring will report to each other.
At this point, the writing is almost the same. There are thousands of words, but there are differences. Thank you both for your patience in reading my ramblings. The writing is clumsy.
How hopeful that after a few years, the country will be free from poverty and weakness, everyone will have food and clothing, ordinary people will be strong and smart, and they will no longer be displaced and children without support. Those with ulterior motives will no longer be able to threaten and harm us.
Mr. Ling, Mr. Yue, I hope you two can see that day come.
The smell of smoke permeated.
After all, Yue Dingtang couldn't help but lit a cigarette, almost halfway through.
The movement of tobacco burning in the reception room became clear, Ling Shu held the letterhead, his eyes fell on He Youan's last words, and he was fascinated for a long time.
Until Yue Dingtang made a sound.
"There's a mezzanine in this box."
Ling Shu followed the reputation, and the other party was pulling out the velvet board from the box, and there was indeed a thin booklet underneath.
When Yue Dingtang opened it, the booklet had only a few pages, no text in it, only some numbers were written, and the numbers on each page were different, sparse, and distributed in several lines, making it confusing.
Ling Shu: "This seems to be—"
Yue Dingtang: "A codebook."
Lightning flashes, the memory is suddenly opened, and the front and back are linked!
"The newspaper in the file bag! "Lin'an Daily"!"
Ling Shu suddenly called out!
Yue Dingtang: "What month and date, do you remember?"
Ling Shu: "I remember, but I already gave He You'an that newspaper, and I'm sure I can't find it now!"
Yue Dingtang: "The content corresponding to this codebook will not be a newspaper printed separately, it must be the content in the newspaper. Go to the library, and there must be the "Lin'an Daily" of that day stored there!"
Without further ado, the two set off immediately, left the reception room with the box, and went directly to the newspaper room of the city's library.
There is naturally a summary of Shanghai's newspapers and periodicals in the past ten years, no matter the big newspapers and tabloids, you can find them here.
"The newspaper on December 17, December 17, no, it was last year's newspaper. What I found from Chen Youhua was an old newspaper, looking for last year's!"
Ling Shu muttered to himself, bending over to read.
"it's here."
On the other side, good news came from Yue Dingtang, and he immediately leaned over.
"Lin'an Daily on December 17th, yes, it corresponds to the codebook. It's marked in red. It should be this page! With so much content in this newspaper, which one is the real information?"
"Try to search from right to left, and use the numbers on this page to correspond to the word in the report."
"Four, eight, thirteen, seven, three, eighty-eight, seventy-six..."
Ling Shu took notes every time he found a word.
These separate, unrelated words appear completely confusing at first glance.
Yue Dingtang rearranged them and turned them into smooth sentences.
"The Japanese army's intention is Chengde, and the sword is aimed at Beiping."
The two were slightly stunned.
This is undoubtedly outdated information.
Just in the past month, the Japanese army fired the first shot from Yuguan, quickly occupied Rehe, and then attacked Gubeikou.
Among them, some surrendered without a fight, some would rather die than surrender, some fled, and some fought bloody battles. Reports were flying all over the sky, even in Shanghai, and such news could be seen everywhere.
And this sentence in the information is what has already happened.
Even if it is outdated, there are people like Chen Youhua and Xiao Jun who lost their lives for these few words.
"Is this information finally sent out?"
"It should be sent out, but in fact, it doesn't make much sense." Yue Dingtang said solemnly, "The Japanese have made up their minds to swallow all the Northeast since Rehe, and now things are developing like this. In comparison, this is true. , Narita Palace's death, the role is even greater. His undercover subordinates will inevitably be targeted because the dragons are headless, and may even be uprooted. Even if his successor takes over soon, it will take several years before they can be re-established. A web of intelligence and connections."
Ling Shu was silent for a moment: "So, He Youan's sacrifice is valuable."
Yue Dingtang affirmed: "Yes! Narita Miyagi is deep, and with him, Shanghai is difficult to eradicate, but now, for some people, at least it is an opportunity. Moreover, He Youan also said in the letter, Narita Gong is likely to receive a more important task, and will want to leave Shanghai in a hurry, which is one of the reasons why He Youan is determined to do it."
Ling Shu: "I just didn't expect that she had such a big intention in setting up this game."
Yue Dingtang: "I didn't expect that she, with the body of a mere woman, can do this, which is rare in the world."
It is hard to imagine that on the plane, life and death are all in one thought.
On one side is the lover's sweetness, tenderness and consideration.
On one side is the feud of the elder brother, and the belief in the heart.
As long as He Youan gives up that dangerous idea, he can live happily with Narita Palace to the ends of the earth.
But she still chose the most difficult decision and chose the dead end.
Even though she kept saying that she was just an actor who wanted to take revenge and had nothing to do with her family and country, but in Ling Shu's view, she was far braver than most men. , but I don't know what shocking feat she finally made.
Maybe a few years later, someone will discover this secret and discover this strange woman.
Maybe it will disappear forever with time and never see the light of day.
But Ling Shu will never forget that these three words He Youan represent what an amazing legend.
It was completely dark outside.
It was almost time for the newsroom to close its doors to thank guests.
The two put the newspaper back, Ling Shu walked to the door of the library, borrowed a match from Yue Dingtang, and opened it.
A cluster of flames suddenly lit up in the night, which devoured He Youan's suicide note, together with the codebook, little by little.
Turned into ashes, paid the night wind.
"I want to eat a bowl of scallion oil noodles." Ling Shu suddenly said.
Yue Dingtang hummed: "Go back and let Uncle Zhou do it."
This time, he was surprisingly good at talking.
Because Yue Dingtang knew that Ling Shu didn't care much about the taste of a bowl of scallion oil noodles, but just wanted to use this bowl of noodles to return to the warmth of fireworks in the world.
The memory that belonged to He You'an did not disappear with the burning of the letter, but it settled deeper in his mind.
The two walked down the steps side by side, blending into the chill of early spring.
