Chapter 120 The Crisis Is Coming
The anagram left by the beggar hints at the word "ghost", and the note is hidden in the upside-down sea bowl. If the sea bowl is compared to the house where Huang Lan lives, then the meaning of the beggar's expression will be clear.
"There's a ghost in the house."
The secret from twenty years ago was only now being solved. Huang Lan felt a chill in his back: "Has our family always been living with some kind of dirty thing?"
I wanted to comfort her with a word or two, but the facts were in front of me and it was too late to say anything: "Judging from the fact that the beggar left in a hurry after eating the noodles and did not want to say another word, I am afraid he did not want to cause trouble. It’s just because your mother is kind-hearted that she wanted to remind you, but it’s a pity that you didn’t notice it at the time.”
Huang Lan didn't speak for a long time, and after a few minutes he took out a business card from his wallet: "I won't believe it for a while, but I think that beggar might have been hired by Huang Boyuan just to drive his mother crazy. "
"If it was a hired person, I'm afraid he wouldn't have given such an obscure hint." I wanted to retort, but the woman in front of me seemed to believe that all this was related to her father. But it's right to think about it. As someone who has been abroad for several years, she will definitely not be able to accept these mysterious and mysterious things mentally.
"This is my business card. Keep it. Just now it was my assessment of your ability. Now I officially entrust you to help me investigate this matter." Huang Lan put the business card on the table and took out another one from his bag. Zhang bank card: "I don't know how much Huang Boyuan spent to ask you. There is one hundred thousand in this card. If you can investigate clearly, I will pay you twice the price of Huang Boyuan."
The bank card was placed on the table. One hundred thousand was not a small amount. Although I was tempted, there were some things that I had to ask clearly in advance: "Ms. Huang, you and I have never met each other before. I don't know why you insist on asking for help." Are you investigating Director Huang? Aren't you afraid that I will tell him about this?"
Hearing my words, the corners of Huang Lan's mouth rose, outlining an imaginative smile: "Although I can't forgive Huang Boyuan, I must admit that his eyes have always been vicious and accurate. Since he chose you to investigate the most private thing, that means you should be the most stable and suitable person in the entire Jiang City."
"Your reason is really beyond my expectation." After accepting the bank card, I went to the second floor to get a contract: "I accept your commission, but the time span is too long. It is estimated that it will take at least a month to get the result. "
"After waiting for twenty years, do you still care about this month?" Huang Lan signed the contract: "Huang Boyuan doesn't know about my return to China yet. I hope you can keep everything about me confidential."
"It's natural."
After seeing Huang Lan off, I silently smoked a cigarette: "The affairs of the Huang family are a bit complicated. The stories Huang Boyuan and Huang Lan told me are almost two versions. I'm afraid I need to find someone to verify."
Picking up the photo on the table, the words were just like the person. Through the beautiful handwriting, I seemed to be able to see a quiet and introverted girl: "Huang Boyuan's second daughter."
Putting everything on the second floor, I went out alone. There were only two days left before the next live broadcast, and I still had a lot to deal with.
When I arrived at the city branch, standing guard at the door was Chen Feng, who had always been secretly in love with Tie Ningxiang.
"Stop! You can enter the Public Security Bureau if you want?" His tone was unkind and he looked at me fiercely. He remembered all the things he encountered during the hunt for Luxing in the foggy mountains. He was jealous of me and Tie Ning. He hates everyone who is close to Tie Ningxiang.
I stood at the door of the city branch, too lazy to pay attention to him. I took out my mobile phone and dialed Tie Ningxiang's number: "Senior sister, this is Gao Jian. I came to pick up something from you, the same thing that Jiang Fei had when she was rescued. ."
Tie Ningxiang understood immediately and knew that she was talking about the surveillance video that captured Jiang Fei and me together: "I'll pick you up right away, just a moment."
She acted competently and without any sloppiness. After speaking, she hung up the phone directly. I was about to take away the phone when I suddenly found Chen Feng leaning sideways and eavesdropping.
This Chen Feng has never given me a good look. Before the last live broadcast, I was interrogated by his father because of Jiang Fei's disappearance. New and old grudges were added together, and I had to settle things occasionally.
I took the phone that Tie Ningxiang had hung up long ago, turned around deliberately, lowered my voice, and said in a voice that was just enough for him to hear, but not clearly, "Well, there's also the lace belt last night. Striped clothes.”
"Last night? Clothes? Lace? And stripes?! Oh my God! What kind of clothes are these?!" Chen Feng's eyes were burning with fire.
But I took my phone back nonchalantly, kicking pebbles and whistling leisurely.
After a while, Tie Ningxiang, who was wearing a police uniform, came from a distance. When he saw Tie Ningxiang, Chen Feng, who had a sinister expression on his face just now, immediately put on a gentle and bright smile: "Ningxiang, I'm about to let go." Your junior brother went in..."
Walking quickly past Chen Feng, Tie Ningxiang waved to me: "Come in and talk."
With a smile on my face, Tie Ningxiang and I entered the precinct side by side. When we passed by Chen Feng, I deliberately moved closer to Tie Ningxiang and said, "Senior sister, you actually look best in police uniform."
"What are you talking about?" Tie Ningxiang found that half of my body was almost leaning against her, and her face became tense: "Do you know how to walk well? Do you want me to teach you?"
"Senior sister, I don't want to either. I've just been discharged from the hospital, and the wounds on my body haven't been healed yet. I've been standing at the door against the sun for so long, and now I feel dizzy."
I stayed beside Tie Ningxiang as if I had completely given up on treatment. She sighed and held up my arm with both hands: "I won't do this next time."
Tie Ningxiang and I walked further and further away in this sour and sweet place, completely ignoring Chen Feng who was standing at the gate. His face was almost green with anger, and his eyes were fixed on Tie Ningxiang's back.
"Just wait for me!"
When I entered the Criminal Investigation Section, I knew several of the police officers working there, including Wu Meng, Zhao Bin, etc. After greeting them, I was dragged into the office by Tie Ningxiang.
"Senior, is there any news from Jiangjin Real Estate?" There are two main purposes for my coming here this time. One is to destroy the surveillance video, and the other is to make sure that Jiang Fei has not exposed my existence.
"Don't worry, Jiang Fei later made a record at the police station. She only said that she was sleepwalking, and she did not remember anything that happened that night. Although we extracted a lot of human blood on her clothes, these blood types No matching target could be found." After saying that, Tie Ningxiang threw a pile of documents on the table: "Where did you go that night? Blood samples of at least five people were extracted from Jiang Fei's clothes, and these blood stains Most of it doesn't leave the body for more than a day, and it's all fresh blood."
"Senior, you are too curious." I stood by the table and flipped through the blood type reports.
Tie Ningxiang saw that I was a bastard and was determined not to tell her. In desperation, she took out a USB flash drive from the drawer: "This is a surveillance video of you and Jiang Fei together. Are you sure you want to destroy it?" ?If you make it public, I believe the Jiang family will give you a very exaggerated figure as reward."
"I don't have much pursuits. It's useless to ask for so much money. It's better to destroy it." Putting the USB flash drive in my pocket, I did not leave immediately: "Senior sister, there is a person I hope you can pay attention to."
"who?"
"Director Li, who is in charge of drug procurement at the People's Hospital." This person must have also been raped by the descendant, so he secretly went to inform the descendant on the night I investigated Jiang Shihan.
Tie Ningxiang reacted very strangely after hearing my words: "How did you know that something would happen to him?"
"He was killed?" I thought Director Li was just a victim of the head-lowering technique, so I didn't care about it at first. I thought he was like Jiang Fei. As long as the head-lowering master died and the spell was cracked, he would be able to live a normal life. human life.
Tie Ningxiang picked up a document on the table: "I received a call from his family this morning, saying that he has been missing for a day and a night."
"What!" I looked through the documents. Director Li volunteered to work night shift in the hospital the night before yesterday, but he left the hospital at three or four o'clock in the night and disappeared without a trace.
"One day ago, at the end of my fourth live broadcast, Director Li disappeared just after Master Jiutou died. Is there any connection between them?"
…
In a basement somewhere in the suburbs of Jiangcheng, a stout old man in his fifties or sixties was tied to a wire bed. His body was covered with hideous whip marks, and his skin and flesh were torn apart like a blooming mandala flower.
A basin of cold water was poured down, and the old man woke up from his coma. He opened his eyes, which were trembling with fear. If possible, he really hoped that he would never wake up, so that he would never see that devil-like man again.
There were no lights on in the dark basement, and only a few pitiful rays of light shone in from the vents.
"Have you thought of the answer to my question?" The voice of the man who spoke was full of magnetism. Half of his face was smooth and handsome, and half of his face was covered with scars.
Director Li nodded weakly, opened his mouth, and his teeth were bloodshot: "I thought of it..."
"Okay, I'll give you another chance. Who killed your master?"
"It was Gao Jian, the secretary to the chairman of Qianding Pharmaceutical who told me. That person's name is Gao Jian!"
"Are you sure?" Lu Xing took out a piece of fishing line from his pocket and wrapped it in his hand: "We have already killed the wrong one, and we can't make another mistake this time."
"It must be him! He was the one who came to the hospital to investigate Jiang Shihan a few days before the accident. I heard the doctors said that he seemed to have mentioned the word "head-down master" in the hospital, so the master must have been killed by him!" The old man exhausted his last words. I begged with all my strength: "Let me go, I have told you everything I know, and I will never make another mistake this time."
"Since you are so sure, then I will believe you." Lu Xing smiled and shook off the fishing line from his fingers.
"You promise to let me go?"
"Of course." The thin fishing line dug into the flesh: "I will send you away personally."
