I caught the murderer

The address that Jiang Wanyan sent to Pei Yuzhou was a private house. The house was not in the city center where land was expensive, but was built in the suburbs of City B.

Pei Yuzhou originally thought it was Jiang Wanyan's unique taste as a rich man, but after he and Shen Zheng got out of the car, he realized that this place was actually a theater.

And there are no other villas around the theater, only patches of snow-covered farmland, and a few low bungalows here and there.

This well-decorated theater stands alone in the night, with a deserted and strange atmosphere. In such a desolate area, this magnificent and brightly colored theater not only looks out of place, but also exudes a sense of humor contrary to its appearance. A decadent smell.

Pei Yuzhou's brows twitched: he thought he probably knew where this was.

Unexpectedly, just 20 years later, the theater that December was dedicated to protecting would become like this.

Shen Zheng held Pei Yuzhou's chilly hand by his side: "What are you thinking? Let's go."

"No, I'm just a little dazed." Pei Yuzhou tilted his head and smiled at Shen Zheng, and then he stepped forward and pushed open the half-hidden door in front of him.

But the seemingly brand-new door unexpectedly made a teeth-piercing "squeak" sound. Pei Yuzhou shrank his hands slightly, not sure if the door would fall down and hit him and Shen Zheng in the next second.

But fortunately, although the theater garden was "gold and jade on the outside and shattered inside", it was not so dilapidated that it could not be moved. Pei Yuzhou and Shen Zheng walked through the carved corridors in the cold wind, and finally arrived at the inner hall with the stage.

This room has two floors. There are a few mahogany square tables scattered around the innermost stage. As the host, Jiang Wanyan is sitting on a chair beside the table, fiddling with the cup in her hand seemingly bored.

Pei Yuzhou was already ready to listen to the play, but when he first saw Jiang Wanyan dressed normally like this, he was actually a little disappointed.

"Come here?" Jiang Wanyan was not surprised that Pei Yuzhou brought Shen Zheng here. She pointed to the seat beside her and said, "Let's have a cup of tea together."

The temperature inside the room was not much higher than outside, Pei Yuzhou couldn't help shivering when he saw the white air curling up, he was not polite, he pulled Shen Zheng and sat opposite Jiang Wanyan.

Holding the slightly hot teacup, Pei Yuzhou smiled and said, "Drinking tea in the deserted theater garden in winter, Miss Jiang has a lot of fun."

"I thought you should be very interested in this place too." Jiang Wanyan took a sip of tea, her tone not offensive, "Aunt Pei liked this place very much back then."

She still spoke with that strange rhyme, but after all the pretense was gone, all that was left of her was elegance.

Pleasing elegance.

It's a pity that the two people opposite her have no intention of appreciating this beauty at the moment. Pei Yuzhou put the teacup away: "Aunt Pei? Why don't I know when my mother has a junior like you."

It wasn't that Pei Yuzhou was impulsive, it was just that his impression of Jiang Wanyan and Jiang Yue was definitely not that good. Just because Jiang Yue was a high-ranking member of Yixing, Pei Yuzhou had reason to hate this father and daughter.

Coupled with Jiang Wanyan's ostentatious pose, Pei Yuzhou didn't bother to give him a good face.

It happens to be able to test the attitude of the other party.

After being choked by Pei Yuzhou, Jiang Wanyan was not annoyed: "I know what you are thinking, but my father also has difficulties."

Her gaze moved to the empty stage: "It's really not an easy task for one person to support such a large theater."

"He just chose the side that was more important."

"So what do you, or your father, mean by asking me to come here?" Pei Yuzhou said, "Is it because of a sudden sense of guilt in middle age?"

"My father is dying," Jiang Wanyan said bluntly, her tone was flat, and her eyes were hidden behind the ups and downs of white air, "I just want you to meet him and apologize to him personally."

"As long as you promise me, I will tell you everything I know and help you deal with that man."

Pei Yuzhou smiled, did he look particularly easy to bully today?Why did one or both come to him to negotiate terms.

As soon as Shen Zheng saw Pei Yuzhou's smile, he knew that this little ancestor was probably going to make things difficult again. Sure enough, he heard Pei Yuzhou's voice in the next second.

"It seems that Miss Jiang is begging me now?" Pei Yuzhou leaned on his chin and said straightly, "I can catch people slowly, but I don't know if your father can afford to wait."

"Miss Jiang covered up Jiang Heng and caused a lot of trouble to the police. I haven't settled with you yet. What you should do now is to cooperate with the police to make up for it."

Jiang Wanyan's expression remained unchanged, she shifted her gaze to Shen Zheng: "Then what if the death of Police Officer Shen's father is added? I wonder if such sincerity can be exchanged for your forgiveness?"

Pei Yuzhou was taken aback, he really didn't expect Jiang Wanyan to hold such a bargaining chip in his hand, but before he could speak, Shen Zheng answered for him: "Don't involve me, what I want will be my own." check."

Liar, Pei Yuzhou said silently in his heart, you obviously want to know so much.

"Also, Miss Jiang wants to ask for forgiveness for her father. Shouldn't she explain the ins and outs of the past?"

Shen Zheng had a natural expression, as if he was not moved by Jiang Wanyan's conditions at all, and Pei Yuzhou, who came in holding his hand, was only interested in playing with the warm teacup in his hand, as if he wanted to see through the plain teacup. Like a flower.

The atmosphere fell into a somewhat stalemate silence for a moment. Facing the two people who were not willing to enter, Jiang Wanyan, who was already at a disadvantage, had to compromise: "I can tell you now."

Pei Yuzhou was right, even if she could afford energy consumption, her father couldn't afford to wait.

"But all I can say is about Aunt Pei." No matter how anxious Jiang Wanyan was, she did not lose her shrewdness. will say."

After hearing this, Pei Yuzhou wanted to say something more, but Shen Zheng pressed his hand.

"Okay." Pei Yuzhou swallowed what he was going to say calmly, and he raised his glass to Jiang Wanyan, "Then I'll listen carefully."

"I hope Miss Jiang, a storyteller, won't let me down."

*

Jiang Wanyan's level of storytelling was not considered superb, but Pei Yuzhou still got a glimpse of part of the truth from her narration.

It's not strange for Jiang Wanyan to call Mother Pei "Aunt Pei", because Jiang Yue and Mother Pei were indeed a pair of good friends because of the movie, but things are unpredictable, and the two parted ways not long after the movie was finished, and no longer contacted each other.

And the turning point of all this started in "Jiangshan Liyuan".

Born into a scholarly family but devoted himself to the entertainment industry, the lady meets the boss who invests in movies behind the scenes. Just like a romance novel, the two quickly sparked a spark of love.

But the reality is not a novel, there is not so much love at first sight in the world, and there are not so many coincidences. When all the fates are "man-made" rather than "God's will", the fruit of this love will naturally not be so sweet.

Mother Pei was originally a smart woman. Even though she didn't notice anything wrong because she fell in love at first, when she came into contact with her lover's company and was arranged for an internship, she still noticed this seemingly normal person. The dirt behind the company.

Mother Pei wanted to get out and leave, but how could she just leave when she was already in the game?

Leaving aside how difficult it is to fight with a lover who is very familiar with her, when Mother Pei finally seized the opportunity and was about to fly away, she was betrayed by her best friend.

That person was Jiang Yue, in that glorious December.

"Although "Jiangshan Pear Garden" is a big hit, the real money allocated to my father is not much," Jiang Wanyan touched the mahogany table under her hand and said, "He has such a large theater to support, the money is just a drop in the bucket. "

"That's why he betrayed his friend?" Pei Yuzhou sneered. Even if Jiang Wanyan didn't go into details, he could still imagine what happened to his mother who fled but was caught back.

After all, the smell of disinfectant that filled his childhood was never fake.

Jiang Wanyan didn't intend to defend her father, she just sighed: "Everyone has their own helplessness."

His father was obsessed with opera, but in that era of rapid development, he could only watch everything he insisted on gradually decline.

People will be obsessed with December on the screen, but few people are willing to go into the theater to hear the real December sing a song.

Who can watch with their own eyes the child they raised step by step towards death?

At least Jiang Yue couldn't, so he chose the former between money and friendship. He thought that "running away from home" this time was just a quarrel between lovers, but he didn't know what kind of abyss his letting go pushed Mother Pei into.

By the time Jiang Yue learned the truth, it was too late, and he asked himself, even if he knew that Pei's mother would suffer misfortune because of this, the choice he made as a young man would not change.

One wrong step and one wrong step, things like money are always not enough, so Jiang Yue also became a member of that person's subordinates.

However, Boss Jiang's theater grew bigger and bigger, but December could no longer speak.

That theatre, which was extremely important in Jiang Yue's eyes, ended up being closed in the end.

"My father was hit hard," Jiang Wanyan lowered her eyelids. People who don't sing opera don't understand the feeling of despair, but she didn't want to make herself look too pitiful, so she pretended to be brisk and said, "But fortunately, at that time He met my mother."

"My mother pulled him out of the mud, but my mother passed away not long after giving birth to me," Jiang Wanyan's voice paused, "and my father thinks it's all his fault , he thinks this is the retribution for his wrongdoing."

"Although he has been working for the organization all these years, from the moment my mother passed away, he has been planning to overthrow the organization."

The story was very touching, but Pei Yuzhou was unmoved: "But he didn't succeed, and my mother will never come back."

If Jiang Yue hadn't revealed his mother's plan back then, maybe his mother would have had a completely different life.

"The deceased is gone, it's meaningless to say these things now," Jiang Wanyan felt a little anxious when she saw Pei Yuzhou's indifferent profile, but her father didn't let her tell about how the Jiang family had taken care of Pei Yuzhou for so many years. So Jiang Wanyan could only soften her tone and begged, "I don't ask you to really forgive him, I just ask you to meet him."

"His days are really numbered."

Shen Zheng felt the stiffness of Pei Yuzhou's body, and he poured another cup of hot tea into Pei Yuzhou's hand: "Just do as you think."

"I promise you," Pei Yuzhou's expression was still cold, but his words made Jiang Wanyan's eyes light up, "One yard is worth one yard, and we will settle the past accounts in the future."

"Now, I don't want to owe your Jiang family favors."
