The Plow

Overnight, the attitude of the patrol house towards Ling Shu was completely changed.

When he was first brought in, the people here hadn't been so rude to him.

Shen Renjie is an old man. Although he has an errand, he leaves room for what he says and what he says, and arranges extra entertainment for him at night. Although money can make ghosts work, it still needs to be accommodated by the other party.

But when Ling Shu woke up from sleep, everything changed.

Not only did the interrogator change, even Shen Renjie's attitude towards him was not as flexible as before.

It was Shen Renjie who escorted him out.

"Old Shen, our two brothers are considered friends, tell me, where are we going?"

Shen Renjie kept his face cold and said nothing, he was a different person from the shoulder to shoulder with Ling Shu last night.

Ling Shu didn't take it seriously, it's normal for people to feel warm and cold, and he has already experienced it over the years.

What's more, when Shen Renjie met by chance, of course it was impossible to expect a deep friendship from the other party.

"You think, it's impossible for me to kill people. If I go back and clear my grievances, we are still comrades. You know that my brother-in-law is in the city government, but you don't know that he is in charge of housing, right? Didn't you say that your parents still live in the old house?" In the house, you don’t want to change it for them?”

Shen Renjie didn't intend to talk to him at first, but when he heard this, he couldn't help ridiculing: "Your brother-in-law has been arrested, and you still help? How can you help? Help in prison? You can't protect yourself now, so don't struggle to the death gone."

Ling Shu said earnestly: "Old Shen, you know what the world is like now. Corruption and bribery can be big or small. My brother-in-law is an honest man. Let alone that he is impossible to do that. Is there no one on the top when I am the chief staff member of the listed government? Think about it, when he comes out, he will definitely try his best to clear me of the suspicion."

Shen Renjie didn't speak, but he didn't interrupt Ling Shu either.

Ling Shu knew that he was pricking up his ears to listen.

"Our Ling family also has a family background. Although it is not as good as before, there are still three-inch nails on the rotten boat. When the time comes, spend some money to release me on bail. Big things will be reduced, and small things will be reduced. Turning around, we will be a good man again. We're all in Shanghai, and when the time comes, we won't see each other when we look up, it's convenient for us to meet others, and it's convenient for ourselves, don't you think?"

"This matter is ordered by the superior, and it is not my decision."

Shen Renjie finally softened.

Ling Shu: "I know, it's not your fault, but where are we going, and how does the higher-ups judge me?"

Shen Renjie thought for a while and sighed: "It is said that you are going to be transferred to the central arresting room. I don't know the details, so don't think about how to clear it up. This matter is difficult! If your family members go to see you, you will give them Said to find a relationship quickly, save my life, don't turn around and go to the execution ground without knowing how you died!"

He was not intimidating, Lingshu is now suspected of murder, not ordinary people, but a famous lady in Shanghai, and she has a husband who is more famous. In this case, once public opinion ferments, Lingshu will not There is no room for escape.

Although Shen Renjie doesn't look like a murderer, but now that the sea is in trouble, are there still few sanctimonious criminals?

"Hey, Old Shen, I have an idea."

At this time, the two just walked to the door, and the car had already parked there waiting for them.

Shen Renjie's eyes widened in shock after hearing what he said over his ears.

"Are you crazy?!"

……

Half an hour later, Shen Renjie felt that it was not Ling Shu who was crazy, but himself.

The two stood at the door of Lingshu's house.

"You only have one hour."

Shen Renjie said nervously, "I can't help you for too long, if you don't go back for more than an hour, they will be suspicious!"

Ling Shu comforted: "Don't worry, you go in with me, and you will take me away when the time is up, and you will never be hurt. My sister loves me so much, she will definitely help me with it, and you are indispensable."

If it wasn't for this benefit, it would be impossible for Shen Renjie to take the risk and slip away halfway, and promised Ling Shu to take him home to take a look, and the other two escorted by the same company would not have turned a blind eye.

It was tacitly understood by everyone, and it was only when Ling Shu was in a hurry to relieve his urination.

Ling Shu knew that doing so was risky.

Since he was identified as the murderer, things have been slipping in an uncontrollable direction.

It was as if someone had put a net over his head and tied it tightly to prevent him from leaving.

Things about the brother-in-law are even more abrupt and weird.

This trip home, he had to go back.

Aunt Hong came to open the door.

After Ling Yao got married, he took his younger brother and Aunt Hong, the old servant who had been with the Ling family, to live with him.

This old servant watched Ling Yao and his brother grow up, and was like family to them.

However, as soon as he had a face-to-face meeting with the other party, Ling Shu realized something was wrong.

Aunt Hong's expression was the same as usual.

That's why it's not right.

If Ling Shu's brother-in-law was arrested on suspicion of corruption, and Ling Shu himself was involved in the murder case, the house would be in chaos by now, and the old servant would not be able to open the door slowly as usual with a relaxed expression. Not even the slightest bit of anxiety can be found.

The moment he saw him, surprise bloomed on the face of the old servant.

"You are back! I haven't seen anyone all day and night. Where did you go? I didn't ask anyone to bring me a letter. The eldest lady was very worried. Oh, you have to be more careful later. There are still guests at home. Don't make the eldest lady angry in front of outsiders!"

Aunt Hong babbled, Ling Shu had a headache, especially when he heard her last sentence, he subconsciously asked, "Who's here?"

"Your old classmate, a Mr. Yue."

An old classmate with the surname Yue, who else could there be besides Yue Dingtang?

The alarm bell rang loudly in Lingshu's heart.

He suddenly realized that he might have stepped into a trap, but it was too late to get back.

"Little brother?"

Ling Yao came out from inside, his expression changed from surprised and worried to cocky in a few seconds.

"Where have you been running all day long, you didn't come back all night last night!"

Ling Shu smiled dryly: "I met an old friend, and I'm reminiscing about the old days. I forgot to ask someone to come back and explain it. I made you worry about it, sister!"

He moved his gaze behind Ling Yao and quickly changed the subject.

"have a guest?"

"It's Dingtang, do you remember? You were very good friends when you were studying. He even came to eat at home. He came back from studying not long ago. We haven't seen each other for many years. You must have a lot to talk about."

Ling Yao smiled and led him to go in, sniffed suddenly, and frowned.

"Why do you smell like that?"

Ling Shu: "Maybe I drank a little wine last night and just made do with my friends."

Ling Yao: "Why did I hear from Cheng Si that you went dancing with the dancer and stayed overnight, huh?"

Her gaze shifted to Shen Renjie next to Ling Shu.

"Who is this?"

Ling Shu didn't change his face: "This is the brother I met when I was on business, the policeman over the concession, the old friend I just told you about, I went drinking with him last night."

Shen Renjie didn't know whether to smile or put on a serious face, his expression was a little awkward for a while.

"Welcome, the visitor is a guest, please come inside." Ling Yao showed doubts, but fortunately he didn't ask any more questions.

While the few people were talking, Ling Shu and Shen Renjie had already seen Yue Dingtang sitting on the sofa in the living room reading a newspaper.

The latter was wearing a neat three-piece suit, his hair was not all brushed back, and he had applied some pomade, but not much, which was still refreshing. He wore a pair of thin-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose. Dressed as a beast, with a human face and a beast's heart.

Yue Dingtang raised his head and smiled at him when he heard the movement.

"Ling Shu is back?"

This smile is like seeing an old friend reunited after a long absence, it is very cordial and joyful, and there is a little imperceptible excitement in the plain.

But to Ling Shu, the other party was more like a hunter waiting for a rabbit, and he really bumped into a silly rabbit.

That is Ling Shu himself.

Shen Renjie was dumbfounded, for the first time he realized that his brain was not enough.

As a result, he should have stepped forward to greet Yue Dingtang, but now he just froze in place.

"Yue, Mr. Yue!"

With Yue Dingtang's appearance, he didn't look like someone who came to the Ling family to inquire about his crimes. He was a different person from the one in the interrogation room.

Shen Renjie didn't know what attitude to take.

"You're here too." Yue Dingtang nodded at him, with a hint of banter on his face.

Shen Renjie had an idea: "I suddenly remembered that I still have some urgent matters, and I have to hurry back, so I won't bother you to reminisce about the old days!"

Seeing that he was going to leave, Ling Yao tried to persuade him to stay: "Shouldn't you sit down for a while?"

"No, no!" Shen Renjie forced a smile, turned his head and said to Ling Shu: I'll wait for you outside.

He was in a hurry, and left after speaking without exchanging pleasantries.

Ling Yao couldn't stop him, so he had to say: "Little brother, hurry up and send your friend off!"

Ling Shu: "No need, he knows his own way."

Ling Yao only felt that these two people were weird, and it was not easy to ask more questions in front of Yue Dingtang.

Yue Dingtang smiled and said: "Why, I haven't seen my old classmate for many years, Ling Shu doesn't seem very happy to see me?"

Who knows how to act, Ling Shu smiled on the skin.

"Why can't you be unhappy? I'm overly excited. Lao Yue, look at you. You've grown much older. I almost didn't recognize you. How many years have we not seen each other?"

The word "how many years" is especially accentuated. He transformed all the friendly words of greeting Yue Ding's eighteenth generation of Tang ancestors into a warm smile on his face, and greeted each other with open arms.

In front of Ling Yao, Yue Dingtang reluctantly moved closer, but was suddenly pulled by Ling Shu and hugged him, and rubbed the filthy atmosphere of being in prison all day and night against himself.

Yue Dingtang: ...

Ling Yao was very pleased: "I didn't expect you to have such a good relationship after not seeing each other for so many years!"

Yue Dingtang twitched the corners of his mouth, and finally understood what it meant to shoot himself in the foot.

He froze his body and let Ling Shu hug him tightly for one second, two seconds, three seconds.

"Don't go too far!" Yue Dingtang couldn't bear it anymore, his voice squeezed out from between his teeth.

"To each other." Ling Shu sneered silently.

"Sister, I'm hungry, go and help me prepare something to eat, I haven't seen Lao Yue for a long time, just to catch up."

After a few seconds, he finally showed mercy and let go of Yue Dingtang, and turned around to confess to Ling Yao.

Ling Yao frowned, disgusted at his dirty attire: "You don't even need to take a shower first!"

Yue Dingtang: "It's okay, big sister, Ling Shu and I are old classmates, it's rare to meet again, so please let us have a chat first."

Ling Yao took a look at Ling Shu, meaning to let him calm down.

"I'll go prepare lunch for you guys. Dingtang will stay and eat at noon today. I'll ask Aunt Hong to add more food!"

"Then I will trouble you, Miss."

Yue Ding and Tang were polite but happy, which made Ling Yao walk away with a smile on his face.

Ling Shu could clearly see that his elder sister had a very good impression of Yue Dingtang, and wished that the surname Yue would stay at home for dinner.

Watching Ling Yao's figure turn into the back kitchen, the careless arc of Ling Shu's mouth turned cold.

He looked at Yue Dingtang who was on the other sofa, and smiled on the surface.

"My brother-in-law was arrested on suspicion of embezzlement and bribery. It must be that you sent someone to deliberately release fake news to scare me?"

"good."

Without the presence of Ling Yao and Aunt Hong, Yue Dingtang didn't bother to pretend, and adjusted to a slightly relaxed posture.

"Did I sleep with your wife, or set fire to kill your whole family, do you have to make trouble with me?"

Ling Shu was really a little angry, the original lazy and flirtatious appearance no longer existed after the prison disaster, the scarf was messed up and wrapped around his neck casually, and the owner trapped by it was like a furious wolf dog, ready to go to bed at any time. Prepare to spoil the meal here.

Yue Dingtang felt that his metaphor was quite vivid, but it was a pity that he couldn't say it out loud, otherwise the other party would really jump over and bite.

"If I don't force you like this, you're probably still playing around with me now."

Ling Shu sneered: "I don't understand what you mean."

Yue Dingtang: "In your confession, there are incomplete and untrue statements. At the very least, you still have something to say."

Ling Shu: "It's your responsibility to solve the case."

Yue Dingtang: "But your life is your own. Although your brother-in-law is fine, but you bought someone from the police station to go home and absconded without permission. What crime do you think you are charged with?"

Seeing that Ling Shu didn't speak, he said again: "You also know that all the evidence in the case now points to a direction that is not good for you. If you want to clear the suspicion, you have to cooperate with me and explain everything. , This is not only good for Du Yuning, but also good for yourself."

The two looked at each other, silently flowing.

Can you trust him?

Ling Shu had a huge question in his heart.

Many years ago, when he and Yue Dingtang were classmates, they started with a fight and ended with a cold war. It was really not happy.

Therefore, when he saw the other party participating in the arrest and interrogation of himself, it was difficult for Ling Shu not to associate the surname Yue with retaliation.

It is difficult to change established impressions.

But right now, he seems to have no choice.

"I doubt,"

Ling Shu finally spoke slowly.

"Du Yuning is not dead at all."

The author has something to say: Ling Yao: This is what old classmates should be like. When they meet each other, they smile to wipe away their grievances. Come on, let’s have a smile.

Yue Dingtang: Hehe.

Ling Shu: Hehe.
