The Plow

"Are you dead again?"

Ling Shu subconsciously said something.

Yue Dingtang: "...Can't you look forward to something good?"

Ling Shu said innocently: "It can't be my fault. There are too many people who died in the case. Every time we find out something, the clues are cut off. If it weren't for your fate, you should be lying in the coffin now, and I should I'm eating in prison."

Yue Dingtang: "It's the old butler, he recruited something."

The consulate could not be reached by phone from the police station, and it was impossible for the people who came to report to explain the matter clearly in a few words.

The two of Ling Yue must go there in person.

Yue Dingtang greeted Peng Si, and took Ling Shu outside to get into the car.

Ling Shu didn't pay attention, there was always a pair of eyes following him behind him.

Shen Qiqi had a sullen face, with gloom and irritability almost overflowing his eyes, so that no one within three feet was willing to approach him, and even the people who usually flattered him temporarily stopped, as if they were invisible.

With Pence around, Shen Qiqi couldn't make trouble at the dinner party. Not only would the Americans be unhappy, but his uncle would not let him go, but if he left here, no one else would care about him.

Shen Shiqi sneered slowly.

"Young Master Shen."

Shen Shiqi followed the sound and turned his head, He Youan came over with two glasses of wine.

"Have a glass of wine to calm down, okay?"

She is gentle and tactful, just like the countless daughters, good wives and loving mothers who have played on the screen.

As long as a beauty has an outstanding temperament, she is not just a beauty, but can enter the ranks of great beauties that are unforgettable at first sight.

Although He Youan is like a vase when she is silent and silent, but when she talks and smiles, there is a kind of bright brilliance of blooming flowers, and even her every move becomes beautiful and indescribable.

No man is immune to such beauty, and Shen Qiqi was no exception at first, so he put in a lot of effort to get the beauty, but at this moment, even facing this face, he could not eliminate the resentment and anger in his heart .

"You were hiding just now because you were afraid that I would get angry? Or did you go to a private meeting with that surnamed Ling?" Shen Qiqi said sadly, with an expression like a ghost returning from hell.

He Youan's voice became softer: "You misunderstood, the wife of the first secretary of the consulate stopped me just now, and wanted to know where I bought my earrings. I said it was from you, and we chatted for a while. They are all mine. Wrong, don't be angry, okay?"

Her humility did not relieve Shen Shiqi's anger, the latter took the wine glass from He Youan expressionlessly, and then poured it on her.

The beauty's dark cloud hair on the temples, her face like a flower, immediately covered her face with wine.

Everyone was in an uproar and everyone was watching.

"What are you doing, even if Miss He was brought by you, you can't bully me at will! Everyone is equal in the new era, so you still use the old way to bully people?!"

Someone immediately stood up and stood in front of He Youan.

He Youan has a lot of movie fans, and even more admirers fall for her beauty. Everyone has already noticed Shen Shiqi's attitude towards her like a plaything. She didn't have an attack before, but because of the occasion and the host of the banquet, Shen Qiqi is now angry , everyone complained for her.

Naturally, there are also people of the same sex who are jealous of He Youan's appearance, and secretly cursed that beauty is a disaster, but the beauty Piaoping is so pitiful, cherishing jade and protecting flowers, what's wrong?

Shen Qiqi saw that he had become the target of public criticism, and Mr. Burns also turned his head to look over from a distance. Knowing that he had made an impulsive mistake again, he could only grit his teeth and swallow the breath.

He ignored He Youan, but crossed the crowd to say goodbye to Burns, and then strode away from the banquet hall.

He Youan was brought by him, once he left, He Youan naturally had to follow.

She took the handkerchief handed over by the waiter, and hurriedly wiped her wet hair. The appearance of forcibly enduring grievances and laughing could move anyone, regardless of gender.

Immediately, some people couldn't stand it anymore: "Miss He, you don't have to go with him, I can take you back later, my father still has a little face in Shanghai Bund, he Shen Shiqi dare not do anything to you!"

He Youan gave him a grateful smile: "If Mr. Shen hadn't brought me here, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet everyone tonight. He can be ruthless, but I can't be ungrateful. Although I come from a humble background, I have to abide by my duty as a human being. No matter what So, thank you all tonight, the new movie will be released in another day, and I will send you movie tickets."

These words are reasonable and open, even those who didn't like her before have changed their impression a little bit, the woman is soft-hearted and easy to waver, He Youan immediately gained many supporters.

"Then if he makes things difficult for you, you must tell us. I'll write you the phone number, and you can go directly to my house, Liu Mansion, and report my Liu Wu's name, and someone will tell me."

"Yes, I'll tell your film company later and ask them to send two people to protect you!"

"Shen Shiqi doesn't dare to do anything. He still depends on his uncle for food. Later, I will ask my dad to tell his uncle that you can make movies with peace of mind. Don't worry about anything else."

The chatter surrounded He Youan and gave her courage.

She thanked everyone one by one, and then quickly walked out of the door, following Shen Shiqi's bodyguard who was waiting there.

Shen Qiqi had already been sitting in the car with a gloomy expression, not much better than when he left.

If it is said that Ling Shu filled the gunpowder barrel halfway before, the words of the guests who defended He Youan later added fuel to the flames, making Shen Qiqi explode completely, but he had to restrain himself in the end.

The expression under the mottled light and shadow is more gloomy than before.

He Youan sighed secretly, and said softly: "Young Master Shen, I'm back."

Shen Shiqi: "Why are you still willing to come back? There are so many people who admire you, why don't you go with others, so as not to be angry with me."

He Youan: "I was brought by you, so I naturally want to go with you. I understand how well you treat me. That Ling man is just a small person, and he doesn't deserve your attention at all. Don't be angry, okay?" good?"

Her chin was suddenly pinched and pulled closer.

Close at hand, Shen Shiqi's breath almost sprayed on her face.

Mixed with the wine splashed on the face just now, and the alcohol smell in the opponent's nasal cavity, He Youan's eyes soon became moist.

"Master Shen..."

"Don't think that in front of people, you are a movie star that everyone is looking forward to. Once your wings are hardened, you can fly away from me. If I can lift you up, I can also drag you down, making you look better than before—"

Shen Shiqi paused every word, gloomy and cruel.

"Fall even worse!"

He Youan breathed weakly, and his eyelashes trembled.

At that moment, like a swan about to break its neck, it was dying.

She may not know that often beauties in distress fall into the darkness, crying and begging for mercy, but it can even arouse some people's sadistic desire to destroy beauty.

"I understand, Mr. Shen, I've been yours all my life, and I never dared to have second thoughts."

……

When Ling Shu and the others saw the old housekeeper, his face was already pale, and he was powerless to speak.

This is not because of being tortured in the patrol room. The old butler is so old that he can't stand the tiger stool or pepper water once, but after being arrested, facing the oppression of the interrogation room and the gloomy and oppressive interrogation of the interrogators, it is very difficult. Some people can still keep their spirits outside.

"Yuan Mansion is haunted, it's me, I asked Sancai to frighten people!"

After all this trouble, the old housekeeper finally didn't dare to go around in circles anymore, and when he saw Ling Shu and the others, he immediately cut to the chase and said what they wanted to hear.

Shen Renjie next to him handed him a small bowl of water to quench his thirst after coming in without a drop of water.

Yue Dingtang: "So, you killed people too?"

The housekeeper quickly waved his hand: "No, no! I have never killed anyone! I have been with the old man since I was a teenager, and I have always been loyal to the Yuan family, so how could I kill the master!"

Shen Renjie: "Then why did you let Sancai scare people!"

The old butler took a breath. Judging from his expression, Ling Shu found that the other party didn't want to mention this matter at all, but the reality developed step by step and had completely deviated from the original track. The old butler also began to panic.

Three people, six eyes staring at each other intently, the flickering lights in the interrogation room seemed to be haunted by ghosts.

But it is precisely because I can't hear clearly that it makes people feel even more frightened.

The old housekeeper's psychological defense completely collapsed.

"Because, because the old man left a lot of property to the Yuan family when he was alive!"

The two of Ling Yue looked at each other.

They had speculated before that the murderer had killed several times and seemed to have an affair with Du Yuning, but in fact, he went around going around and ended up surrounding the Yuan family. It was probably because the Yuan family had something that they couldn't ask for.

Now it seems that even if the deaths of Du Yuning, Yuan Bing and Alan had nothing to do with the old housekeeper, they must have something to do with this matter.

"What property?"

The hands of the old housekeeper holding the bowl kept trembling, and his expression changed, showing that he was struggling fiercely inside.

Up to now, he has been unable to continue to hide this code that has been buried for many years.

"Gold, countless gold...enough to fill half a room!"

Not only Shen Renjie couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear, but even Ling Shu and Yue Dingtang couldn't help showing expressions of shock.

Money touches people's hearts. Fortunately, there are only three of them in the interrogation room. Otherwise, it is difficult to guarantee whether other people will go crazy and cause trouble after hearing the news.

Yue Dingtang glanced at Shen Renjie at the right time.

The latter was so clever, he immediately stood up and stood at attention: "All the contents of the case must not be disclosed until the case is closed. I will also keep the confessions of the relevant personnel in a safe place. Once leaked, you are the only one to ask!"

Yue Dingtang nodded, and turned to the old housekeeper: "You continue. Where did the gold come from?"

Yuan Bingdao was not able to speak for a long time in Sichuan. He was frustrated in the factional struggle and was soon forced to leave there. Because he searched a lot of people's fat and people's anointing during his time in power, and it also originated from a sunken ship he discovered.

The sunken ship was first discovered by Yuan Bingdao's cronies. At that time, he thought it was an ordinary civilian shipwreck. Gold is utensil jewelry.

Who is the owner of the ship, and who is the shipwreck here? That is not the focus of Yuan Bingdao's concern. For warlords in troubled times, nothing makes them more ecstatic than wealth falling from the sky.

Yuan Bingdao quickly woke up from the dream.

Although he is a warlord, warlords are also divided into big and small fish. Yuan Bingdao's power is definitely not enough to rule the roost. If people find out that these huge wealth are concentrated in his hands, it won't take long. It's not even safe at home.

Yuan Bingdao thought for three days and three nights, and finally made up his mind. He called his cronies, took out part of his belongings, divided them among them first, and then disguised the rest in batches and shipped them out of Sichuan. Then he himself pretended to be sick and retired. Gradually faded out of the military and political circles in Sichuan, retreated bravely in the rapids, and went to Shanghai to enjoy the world of flowers and flowers.

His plan was very successful. Although some accidents occurred on the road, or were stolen by others, most of the gold was still transported to Shanghai.

"The old man can rest assured only if he keeps the gold under his nose. But time was tight at that time, and it was not easy to find such a house. In the end, the old man took a fancy to Yuan Mansion precisely because it had a large enough cellar. "

Shen Renjie: "The cellar? We searched, but we didn't find the gold you mentioned."

The old housekeeper: "What you see is only the cellar that comes with the house, and there is another floor below that."

Yue Dingtang: "Is there a house?"

The old housekeeper nodded: "When I bought the house, I discovered it by accident. It was already abandoned at that time, and the stones and clods were piled up, making it unusable. Ordinary people can't find it at all, and even if they find it, there is no key to open it."

Ling Shu: "So, the haunting of the house is really a fiction you made up?"

The old housekeeper smiled bitterly: "I have no other choice. The old man has only one son under his knees. He knows that the old man has been used to profligacy since he was a child, and he is not the material to support the family business at all, so he never told the secret to the old man. The Yuan family has fallen completely. Grandpa gave the key to the master, and asked me to help keep the secret until the master recovers, or their child is born."

Sure enough, Yuan Bing did not live up to his father's expectations. Not only was he infected with tobacco poison, but he also ruined Yuan Jiaruo's family business. If the batch of gold were in his hands, the power would be wiped out soon.

It's just that Yuan Bingdao didn't expect that not only Yuan Bing couldn't count on him, but the old housekeeper didn't even wait for Yuan Bing's child to be born, and Yuan Bing died unexpectedly.

"I thought, the old man's family property, which he has painstakingly accumulated, cannot be taken away by outsiders no matter what. I will keep this secret for a day. Even if my aunt and wife return to China in the future, at least it will be inherited by the surname Yuan."

"But accidents happened one after another in that house, and you all kept your eyes on it. I was afraid that if there were too many people coming and going, they would discover the secrets there sooner or later, so I asked Sancai to pretend to be a ghost there to scare people."

"It's scary to be scary. It is absolutely impossible for me to kill people. Sir Mingjian, how could I kill the master and madam!"

"And Alan, I didn't think she would hang herself at all. It must be because she did something wrong to Mrs. Madam, her conscience was disturbed, and she couldn't sleep day and night, so she apologized with death!"

While speaking, Shen Renjie brought an iron box from outside.

"Mr. Yue, we found this from Alan's room. It is said that all her belongings are stored."

Yue Dingtang took it and opened it, but showed a suspicious look.
