The Plow

Others don't know who Eldest Young Master Ling is, but when this person said Yushu Linfeng, the eyes of all around immediately gathered.

Ling Shu and the speaker instantly became the focus.

Everyone naturally followed the sound to look at the appearance of the speaker. Unsurprisingly, the appearance was mediocre, and it was inevitable to be disappointed after looking forward to it.

But when they looked at Ling Shu again, their eyes could not help but light up.

In fact, Ling Shu and Yue Dingtang had just entered the door, and many famous ladies had already noticed him secretly, but Ling Shu hid in the corner from the focus in a blink of an eye. The venue was so crowded that girls couldn't be found everywhere. Looking around, I didn't expect to look back suddenly, but the other party was in a dimly lit place.

Compared with Yue Dingtang's calm and capable, many girls prefer Lingshu's handsome and unrestrained.

The first time they saw Ling Shu, they would immediately discover that beautiful is an adjective, not only used on women.

There is a kind of beauty that makes people feel like a spring breeze, and it is unforgettable to see.

Ling Shu's popularity with women has always been very good. Even when he went to the dance hall to dance, there were dancers who tipped them back. Even Ling Yao and Yue Chunxiao, who were at odds with each other, could temporarily let go of their prejudices for him. Inseparable from the original.

This moment is no exception.

Lin Dingkang was a little surprised by the effect of this unintentional planting of willows.

He knew that Ling Shu was born well, and being convenient while studying was a focus that female students couldn't avoid after dinner and dinner. Now there is no disability, but after years of precipitation, his figure is much taller than he remembered.

"Long time no see, Ling Shu, how are you?" He offered his hand.

"Very good." Ling Shu freed his hand to hold the cake, and shook hands with him.

"I heard that you went to study in France a few years ago, but I haven't heard from you since then. I thought you stayed there to settle down." Lin Dingkang took two glasses of wine from the waiter and handed him one. "When did you come back? I didn't invite my old classmates out for a drink."

Ling Shu raised his glass and said: "It's better to hit the sun than to choose the day, why don't we drink it now?"

The other party was taken aback, and laughed, "You're still so humorous! A talent like you must be doing well now, right? Did you work in the consulate, or did you join the government?"

Ling Shu shrugged: "I'm just a small policeman in Jiangwan District."

Lin Dingkang didn't believe it: "How is it possible, someone like you must be a deputy director after all?"

Ling Shu smiled and said, "My father passed away."

Only then did Lin Dingkang recall that since the death of Ling Shu's father, the Ling family has plummeted and disappeared from the upper class. It's just that when he saw Ling Shu just now, he was still chic, so he couldn't help but have a momentary illusion that the Ling family was still the same Ling family. Ling Shu is still the same Ling Shu.

However, if you can be invited to attend this kind of occasion, there must be something to do with the twists and turns. If you are down today, you may not be down tomorrow. Lin Dingkang has worked for several years and has seen many political figures up and down. Look down on Lingshu, not to mention the other party's outstanding talent, if he is favored by some famous daughter tonight, wouldn't he immediately fly to the branch?

We must know that in those days, a certain committee chairman was able to improve to the next level because of his marriage with the Song family.

Just as he was about to say a few words of relief, to get over some embarrassment, there was an extra voice beside him.

"Dingkang, what are you doing here? Whose son is this, please introduce?"

The visitor's tone was frivolous, but when Lin Dingkang turned his head unhappily and saw who the other party was, he knew that this person naturally had the ability to be frivolous.

Shen Shiqi, of course his real name is not Shiqi, but because he is the [-]th in the Shen family.

This family has a large population and a large number of talents, including scholars and businessmen. Shen Shiqi's uncle is in the Nanjing government, and his official position is not small. It is said that he belongs to the Anglo-American family, that is, the group close to Mrs. Jiang. , is also a celebrity in front of the imperial court recently.

Shen Shiqi himself is also in business, and he is engaged in import and export trade. The Shen family has a big business. After the accumulation of capital reaches a certain level, it doesn't matter whether Shen Shiqi has extraordinary business acumen, as long as he is not stupid enough to be angry with others. If the qualifications are at the level of ordinary people, there will be no losses.

The people around him were naturally like the stars holding the moon, and they praised the Seventeenth Young Master a lot, which caused Shen Shiqi to swell and become ecstatic.Tonight's banquet is full of celebrities, and only one out of ten can catch his eyes.

Lin Dingkang got his job through his uncle's relationship, and Shen Qiqi didn't pay much attention to him. He spoke casually, like ordering a servant at home.

Lin Dingkang raised a smile: "Why did Mr. Shen come here? I happened to meet an old classmate here, so I want to catch up with you!"

Shen Shiqi raised his chin and nodded Ling Shu.

"Could it be that you are also an interpreter in a consulate?"

Isn't this pointing at Sang and scolding Huai? Lin Dingkang was upset, but he didn't show it on his face, and he still warmly introduced them.

"My middle school classmate, surnamed Ling, has a single name, Shu. This is Shen Shiqi, the famous son of the Shen family!"

He deliberately emphasized the words "famous and famous", because he was afraid that Ling Shu would accidentally offend the nobleman.

"Hello, Mr. Shen."

Ling Shu was really good enough, and immediately stretched out his hand.

However, Shen Shiqi took a slow look at him, but did not move.

Lin Dingkang thumped immediately, thinking that the surname Shen is here to ask for trouble?

Sure enough, Shen Shiqi ignored Ling Shu, but looked at Lin Dingkang.

"You classmate, do you rely on your face for food?"

Lin Dingkang laughed: "Young Master Shen is really humorous, Ling Shu is working in the police station now!"

"Oh?"

Shen Qiqi raised his eyebrows, and dragged his tone: "Looks like a little boy. If you don't want to be a movie star, what kind of policeman will you run to? Come, let me introduce you——"

He pulled the beauty beside him, "You must all know this, the movie star He Youan, who has recently become famous, probably the whole Shanghai has heard of it, she admires you very much, let her introduce you to a job, and keep you in a hit Hong, you don’t need to be a policeman anymore, how much can you earn in that month!”

Lin Dingkang has long recognized his female companion as He Youan.

Not only him, but there are not many guests who don't know each other.

Some celebrities and young men who liked her went to ask her for autographs. He Youan never refused to come and signed a lot of them. He didn't put on airs of a big star, and said very little, and followed Shen Shiqi's side step by step.

Beauty is beauty, after all, it is a plaything.

These days, actors are still not in the mainstream industry. Although He Youan is famous, on this occasion, he can only attract attention because of his beauty and fame. Shen Qiqi took her around, more like carrying a precious vase to show off.

When He You'an heard Shen Shiqi's words, he smiled and said softly, "Don't be joking."

Shen Shiqi embraced her slender waist and said triumphantly, "Didn't you say he was born good-looking? With such skin, wouldn't it be a pity not to benefit the public?"

Lin Dingkang heard his hostility, and quickly smoothed things over: "Lingshu is a policeman, patrolling the law and order, stabilizing the order, and arresting those thieves and bad guys, so that we can go out with peace of mind. This is also for the benefit of the public!"

Then he said to Shen Shiqi: "Ling Shu is also a scholar who has stayed abroad. When he was in school, his grades were top notch!"

Those who can go abroad to study these days, except for government-sponsored students, must have some family background. Lin Dingkang's words are to remind Shen Shiqi to leave some room for everything.

Unexpectedly, Shen Shiqi didn't buy it at all.

"Staying abroad? Hmph, these days, you can go abroad for a work-study program by borrowing some money from your relatives. If you don't know, you might as well learn something, but the dragon begets the dragon, the phoenix begets the phoenix, and the mouse's son still has to make a hole? Mr. Ling is very talented. I think being a policeman is a waste of money. If you don’t want to be a movie star, I have a friend who recommends it to you. He likes young, beautiful, and energetic young people like you the most. If you are willing to go to him What do you think about how many years your subordinates have been working as a policeman, and you have more custody than you have been a policeman for ten years?"

He stared at Ling Shu with scorching eyes, and he had to see the embarrassment on his face to be satisfied.

But Lingshu looked normal, and drank the champagne in his hand slowly, before speaking.

"Thank you Mr. Shen for your kindness. This job sounds good, but it's a pity."

Shen Shiqi was unhappy: "What a pity?"

Ling Shu: "It's a pity that I still have a murder case on my body. There are three lives in the case. Those three ghosts are haunting and screaming around me day and night. How can I—"

He smiled faintly at Shen Shiqi, looking eerie, and even walked towards him.

Shen Shiqi subconsciously took two steps back.

"How can I harm others again and take a few more lives?"

"The policeman surnamed Ling...you are Du Yuning's childhood sweetheart?!"

I don't know which daughter's daughter let out a coquettish cry, breaking Ling Shu's identity.

Everyone changed color and retreated, fearing that if they were too slow, they would be stabbed by Ling Shu.

A large open space suddenly spread out around him like a tide.

"What happened?"

Chinese words with a foreign accent floated into their ears. Many people knew that this was the host of the banquet, and they all stepped out of the way.

Most people look at Pence.

What Ling Shu looked at was Yue Dingtang beside Peng Si.

The two looked at each other, and their eyes met silently.

Ling Shu: After watching the play for so long, is it fun?

Yue Dingtang: It's okay. I thought I could see you at a loss, but it was a little less exciting.

Ling Shu finally knew why he hated Yue Dingtang so much when he was in school.

It's not because this guy is robbing me of women, and it's not because he compares with me in everything from grades to family background, but because he shows this expression from time to time, half a smile, half a mockery, which makes people think Put a big wine bottle on his forehead, smash that face to pieces first.

The older he got, the more conspicuous his beating look became.

Shen Qiqi came back to his senses, and immediately his face darkened, feeling a little annoyed at Ling Shu's daring to threaten him.

His family background is there, and he is not stage frightened by the British and American consuls, so he questioned him immediately.

"Mr. Burns, your banquet is noble and elegant. It's a place where high-class people hang out. When did you let murderers in? I heard that he is still a policeman? I remember that Director Huang of the Municipal Bureau also came tonight. Come on, Director Huang, don't hide behind the crowd, come over and talk to us!"

Director Huang looked embarrassed, never thought that he would be forced to show his face in this situation.

"Here, Mr. Shen, you're giving me a hard time. Du Yuning's case happened in the foreign concession, so I'm not in charge. Besides, with so many people under my command, how could I know a small policeman in a district?"

It was chilly outside the window, and the heating inside the house was so warm that Director Huang almost took out his handkerchief to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Shen Shiqi smiled and said, "So, Director Huang wants to shirk his responsibility?"

Director Huang didn't want to offend Shen Shiqi for a small person, so he kept saying no, and looked at Ling Shu again.

"come here!"

After eating and drinking, Ling Shu put down his wine glass, walked over and saluted.

"Hello Chief, Jiangwan District Police Station Ling Shu reports to you!"

Director Huang's expression was somber, and he naturally blamed him for any unhappiness that he had lost face in public.

"How did you get in here!"

Ling Shu: "Report to the chief, someone brought me here. Before he came, he told me that you would be there too, so I said, I'm carrying a suspicion on my body now, I have to stay in the patrol room, and I can't cause you trouble But the man said, no one here tonight can refute his face, you have to be polite when you see him, director, so I will believe it. Who knows that this man is just talking nonsense, Mr. Shen just doesn’t look at him at all face?"

Yue Dingtang: ...

He had just watched a 1-minute play, and Ling Shu was able to dig a hole one meter deep for him.

Director Huang: "Who? Who said that! Let him out!"

"I brought him here."

Yue Dingtang finally stood up.

He smiled slightly at Director Huang: "My surname is Yue, my brother Yue Dingqin, who worked in Shanghai in his early years, you should know him too."

Director Huang knew the name Yue Dingqin, and most of the people present should know him.

Director Huang's expression changed all of a sudden, from anger to shock, embarrassment to panic, in just a few seconds.

"So it's the second young master of the Yue family!"

Yue Dingtang smiled: "My second brother has gone north."

Director Huang made a haha: "It's Mr. Yue. Brother Ling and I had a very close friendship back then. Unfortunately, we have rarely contacted him since he went to Nanjing. Today is also considered fate!"

Yue Dingtang nodded, regardless of whether what he said was true or not.

"Let me introduce. This is the Consul General of the U.S. Consulate in Shanghai. Mr. Pence. This is Director Huang of the Municipal Police Department. He was promoted to a full-time post not long ago because of his outstanding performance."

Director Huang quickly straightened his tie, stepped forward and stretched out his hands, leaning slightly.

"Mr. Burns, I'm Huang Qi, nice to meet you!"

Burns shook hands with him reservedly, and his eyes fell on Ling Shu and Shen Shiqi.

"I just heard that there was some misunderstanding here, have they all been resolved now?"

Although Shen Qiqi wasn't shy of Americans, he wasn't so naive as to make a fuss on their territory.

He originally thought that Ling Shu was not pleasing to the eye, and wanted to teach him a lesson. Usually, for such a trivial matter, the other party would come to him to apologize and beg for mercy in the end. As for whether he would spare his life, it depended on Shen Shiqi's mood.

But the direction of the story this time was out of his control.

"It's resolved, it's all a small misunderstanding." Shen Qiqi reluctantly said.

Pence nodded, but regardless of his unnatural expression and reluctance, he immediately turned to chat with others.

"Mr. Burns, this is my old friend, old classmate, Ling Shu. Like you and me, he is a student studying in France. Although he is now implicated in a case, there is already evidence to prove his innocence. "

Now that he had come forward, Yue Dingtang simply introduced Ling Shu formally.

Burns nodded and smiled, stretched out his hand, and said something to Ling Shu.

Ling Shu paused and replied.

Director Huang was confused and asked Lin Dingkang next to him, "What are they talking about? English?"

Lin Dingkang: "It's French. Mr. Consul said, I believe the facts will clear the gentleman's innocence. Ling Shu replied thank you."

Director Huang scratched his head: "You really are studying abroad, so why did you become a little policeman?"

Lin Dingkang didn't mind giving his old classmate a hand, and he said after hearing the words: "You don't know, the Ling family was also a famous family in the early years, but later the family fell into decline. Isn't this person always a person with three disasters and six lucks!"

Director Huang was stunned. "It's rare and rare. He is still a good young man who is able to work hard even in the face of changes. He is really a good young man, and he should be praised!"

Lin Dingkang smiled without saying a word.

Why does being a small policeman have something to do with being angry and trying to be strong? I am afraid that the relationship will still fall on Yue Dingtang in the end, but Director Huang said so, and he just listened to it. Lin Dingkang was still thinking about going to talk to Yue Dingtang later. The relationship between Tang Lala's old classmates.

There was a lot of thunder and rain, and the host of the banquet didn't care about it. Naturally, everyone else pretended to forget Ling Shu's identity as a suspect. What's more, his appearance and temperament were enough to make people let go of their guard and get close to him.

Some aristocratic ladies who were more courageous even took the initiative to chat with him.

The only one present who felt ashamed and annoyed was Shen Shiqi.

Although He Youan beside him was very quiet from the beginning to the end, he always felt that people from all directions were snickering and mocking him.

"What are you laughing at?" He suddenly looked at He Youan and asked coldly.

The other party was listening to Yue Dingtang and the others chatting, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

When He Youan was called, he looked surprised and quickly withdrew his smile: "Mr. Shen, I didn't smile."

Shen Shiqi snorted coldly: "Don't think that if I bring you here, you will be able to climb high branches. In their eyes, no matter how popular you are, you are still a low-level actor!"

His voice was not low, and everyone around him heard it.

He Youan's face turned pale instantly, biting his lips tightly, as if he was controlling his emotions.

Ling Shu was about to speak, but Yue Dingtang pressed his shoulder.

He met Shangyue Dingtang's eyes, and the latter was calm, but his hands never moved.

The meaning is obvious, let him not meddle in his own business.

He You'an and them are not relatives, and they don't understand the relationship between her and Shen Shiqi, so if they act rashly, it may not be a hero to save the beauty, but it may be a joke.

However, Ling Shu still moved.

In front of He Youan, there were more pens and paper, as well as a beautiful hand.

"Miss He, my sister is your fan, can you sign a name for me?"

"of course can!"

He Youan hurriedly took the pen and paper, forced a smile at him, and hurriedly signed his name.

"Do you need me to write a word of blessing to sister Ling?"

Ling Shu: "It would be even better if it is convenient. My sister's boudoir name is Ling Yao, and the distant Yao, I wish her good health."

He Youan quickly finished writing, the handwriting is beautiful, it can be seen that it has been practiced.

"Write me a sentence too!"

"I also want!"

"Sign a few more, I'll give them away!"

Miss Qianjin and the young son next to him saw that they could still play like this, and hurriedly took out the book that they had just asked He Youan to sign.

The people who crowded up pushed Shen Qiqi to the periphery at once.

The latter stared at Ling Shu for three seconds before turning around and leaving, as if he had completely remembered him.

"There is an extra enemy out of thin air."

Ling Shu was about to turn around to get some wine, when Yue Dingtang's voice sounded behind him.

"Shen Shiqi is domineering, reckless, and doesn't follow the rules. If you stand out for a beauty, will the beauty be grateful and promise you with your body?"

Ling Shu didn't answer, and bent down to look at the taste of each wine.

"Apple, or orange?"

Yue Dingtang: "...Oranges."

Ling Shu handed him a glass of orange fruit wine, while he took a glass of apple wine.

"Isn't it a gentleman who draws his sword to help when the road is injustice? It doesn't matter if a beautiful woman is grateful or not, as long as Mr. Burns sees it, didn't you see his appreciation for me just now?"

Yue Dingtang raised his eyebrows: "Pence can't control the police station no matter what, what's the use of impressing him?"

Ling Shu: "The suspect must do two more good deeds, otherwise how can I be worthy of your original intention of bringing me here? Well, I'm going to curry favor with Director Huang now."

After all, he really picked up the wine glass, and Shi Shiran walked towards Director Huang.

"If I hadn't taught you that thank you in French, would you have been able to handle Burns?"

Yue Ding Tang Youyou asked.

Ling Shu didn't turn his head back, he just waved his hand and made a goodbye gesture.

Yue Dingtang narrowed his eyes.

With the previous foreshadowing, Director Huang really looked at Ling Shu differently.

Director Huang is a rough man, he was able to climb to the position of director because of flattery and luck, he is out of tune with the literati, celebrities and wealthy families here, he just wants to flatter, and people are not interested in listening to him, at least he meets Ling Shu and talks to him Talking about the delicacies from the north and the south, and talking about recent cases, they can actually have a good chat.

Until Director Huang went to the bathroom, another delicate guest came to the balcony.

"I'm really sorry, Mr. Shen didn't deliberately target you just now. It's just because I praised you in front of him that he was dissatisfied. Speaking of which, I'm all to blame. "

He Youan sincerely apologized, and even leaned slightly towards Ling Shu and bowed.

Ling Shu toasted: "It's okay, it's the duty of every gentleman to save a beautiful lady."

He Youan really smiled.

Ling Shu tapped his lips to remind her: "Your lip makeup is a bit off."

He Youan hurriedly took out the small mirror and lipstick, and started to touch up makeup by the chandelier on the balcony.

By coincidence, Ling Shu happened to see the lipstick in her hand.

Suddenly, memories intertwine, as if something suddenly flashed.

The truth was hidden behind the thick fog of night, waiting for him to capture it.

"Your lipstick?"

He Youan looked up and saw Ling Shu staring at her lipstick, couldn't help but smile.

"Why, do you want to buy it for your girlfriend? This is Dan Qi's new lipstick, rose red. This color number is sold in limited quantities, and the packaging shape is also different from other colors. I'm afraid you can't buy it now. If you want something else Color, I still have a few unopened ones, I bought them before, and I can send them to you later."

Ling Shu: "Limited release, is it expensive?"

He Youan: "The price is about the same as other colors, but it's hard to get it. It was sold out on the day it was released. I also entrusted someone to get it."

Ling Shu: "When did it go public?"

He Youan: "I heard that it was released in Europe and the United States three months ago, but it took time to ship to China. Here it was released on January 1."

January 1, New Year's Eve.

That is, after Du Yuning's accident.

The lipstick in He Youan's hand was exactly the same as the one dropped by the maid Alan at Yuan's house.

But Alan said that it was given to her by Du Yuning.

Du Yuning was already dead at that time, did he forget to give lipstick to the maid after being a ghost?

Therefore, Alan must be lying!

While thinking, Yue Dingtang suddenly walked in.

"Come with me to the arresting house right now!"
