The Plow

"Mr. Jiang, what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to visit."

Jiang He took off his hat and put it aside casually.

"You don't seem to welcome me very much."

Ling Shu faked a smile: "How could that be, but people always bring gifts when they visit a sick person. You don't seem to be visiting sick with empty hands."

"It makes sense. I came in a hurry, so I forgot."

Jiang He thought for a while, then took out a small wad of US dollars from his pocket and put it on the table.

"If it's not a respect, just accept it."

This is a generous master.

Ling Shu gave a thumbs up and praised without hesitation: "It's refreshing!"

He didn't want to go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, but he still didn't believe that Jiang He came here just to visit the sick.

But the other party didn't speak first, so Ling Shu didn't ask.

Jiang He walked around the ward, walked to the window, half-hidden behind the curtain, and looked downstairs.

Ling Shu felt that in Jiang He's actions, he could often see some of his habits and past swords and swords.

For example, when a normal person stands by the window, he can only look at it generously, and he will never be half hidden, ready to hide his body at any time, so that the enemy can see and the enemy is in the dark, which is convenient for ambushes.

Only people who often lick blood at the edge of a knife and are used to lurking in the dark will have such vigilance.

Jiang He seemed to notice the sight behind him and turned his head.

Ling Shu was sitting on the bed, wrapped in a quilt, counting the wads of dollars.

Jiang He: ...

He had never seen someone so frank and rude as Ling Shu.

Naturally, I have never encountered anyone who rushed to take the initiative to wade into the muddy water to help him evade pursuit for the purpose of investigating clues.

"You don't seem to be curious about what I'm here for," Jiang He said.

"Didn't you come to visit the sick?" Ling Shu raised the money in his hand, "I received the favor, there are apples on the table, you can do what you want."

Jiang He: "In addition to US dollars, I also bring you an important news, you must be interested."

Ling Shu didn't raise his head: "I would like to hear the details."

Jiang He: "Chen Youhua is dead."

Ling Shu raised his head with a look of shock: "What?!"

Jiang He: "You're surprised."

Ling Shu: "Why am I not surprised?"

Jiang He: "I thought you already knew."

It is impossible for Ling Shu to tell him that he not only saw Chen Youhua killed with his own eyes, but also took away his belongings.

"Of course I don't know, thanks to you telling me! That's over, another clue has been broken, and it may be a long way off to find out whether He Youan is lying or not."

Jiang He took out a file bag from his coat and threw it on the bed.

"This is Chen Youhua's information, you may need it."

Ling Shu opened the bag and took out the documents, flipping through them a bit.

It records Chen Youhua's files when he worked in the newspaper office, and some past experiences, which are indeed very useful.

"Thank you!"

Ling Shu casually threw the jewelry box that he hadn't had time to open to Jiang He.

Jiang He caught it, not knowing why.

Ling Shu said: "To express my gratitude, this is my return gift."

Jiang He frowned.

The reason why he sent this document to Ling Shu was entirely to repay the favor that night.

The kindness of a life, whether it is big or small, is not small.

Jiang He doesn't like to owe favors, and if he can, he always has to.

But Ling Shu is really interesting.

Because a boring person would never make the choice to flee with him.

Jiang He opened the jewelry box, his expression suddenly became strange.

"You gave me this?"

"Ok?"

Ling Shu didn't intend to browse the information in front of him, and was putting things back, when he raised his head, he saw Jiang He turn the jewelry box in a direction.

A diamond ring caught the eye.

Ling Shu: ...

Would Zhen Congyun give him her engagement ring? !

There are thousands of unpredictable women, and Miss Zhen should be regarded as one of the best.

Ling Shu has met many women who are fascinated by him, but there are few women like Zhen Congyun who use him as a shield and actually have other plans.

Who is the married man she fell in love with? It must be very difficult for Zhen Congyun to fall in love with the man. He might be some high-ranking and powerful person, but how could such a big person take the risk of ruining his reputation? To hook up with a rich lady who is already engaged?

This woman threw the ring at him, could it be that she really wanted to escape marriage?Will the man she likes go with her?

Zhen Congyun's ring is naturally not inferior.

The diamonds shone brightly under the light, so bright that Ling Shu couldn't help blinking.

Judging from the ring design, it should still come from foreign designers.

Such a valuable ring, Miss Zhen just don't want it, throwing it to him like a hot potato.

"Falling flowers are intentional, flowing water is ruthless. I don't like men. You can leave this ring to someone else."

Jiang He said coldly, and put the box down.

Ling Shu: ...

Although he didn't want to understand Zhen Congyun's intention of throwing this ring to him for the time being, Ling Shu always felt that it was not a good thing, and words such as misfortune and misfortune would pop up in his mind.

He didn't want to be that unlucky ghost at all.

Just as he was thinking about how to make up a touching story to persuade Jiang He to accept the ring and become a new victim, someone opened the door and walked in.

Ling Shu and Jiang He, almost subconsciously, looked towards the door together.

In Yue Dingtang's eyes, one was sitting on the bed, the other was standing beside the bed, and handed out half of the opened jewelry box.

Yue Dingtang: ...

Ling Shu, Jiang He: ...

Yue Dingtang was silent for a moment.

"Do I need to spare a few minutes for you?"

"unnecessary."

It was Jiang He who answered him.

Jiang He stuffed the jewelry box into Ling Shu's hand.

"I am leaving."

"and many more!"

Turning a deaf ear to Ling Shu's request to stay, Jiang He took great strides and quickly disappeared at the door.

Yue Dingtang asked: "What's in the box?"

Ling Shu was weak: "Diamond ring."

Yue Dingtang showed the same strange expression as Jiang Hegang.

"I didn't expect your peach blossoms to blossom on men."

Ling Shu: "I'm not, I don't have one, don't talk nonsense, this ring belongs to Zhen Congyun."

Yue Dingtang frowned: "Zhen Congyun? What is she here for?"

Ling Shu briefly explained the situation just now.

"Do you know who the married man she likes?"

Yue Dingtang: "I don't know. My family has never had any contact with the Zhen family. It's just a matter of meeting and saying hello. The reason why the third sister introduced her to me was because of someone else's introduction. She can't just refuse rashly. .”

Ling Shu took pleasure in his misfortune: "It's thanks to your misreading. If you fell in love with this Miss Zhen, she would put such a green hat on you in turn. What should you do?"

Yue Dingtang calmly said: "The person she is following now seems to be you."

Ling Shu choked.

"Let's talk about something else. Jiang He sent a piece of information about Chen Youhua."

It was almost dozed off, and someone brought a pillow.

Yue Dingtang went back and forth because he wanted Ling Shu to contact Jiang He and ask about Chen Youhua.

Unexpectedly, Jiang He took the initiative to deliver it to his door.

"He knew that Chen Youhua was dead."

"know."

"Then he didn't suspect you, did he?"

Ling Shu recalled and shook his head.

"He did ask, but he just mentioned it casually. The reason why he came here today should be that after he learned of Chen Youhua's death, he knew that I was investigating He Youan's case, and he didn't want to owe me a favor."

Yue Dingtang took out a stack of documents, flipped through them a few times, and couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

"Jiang He really has some skills."

You may not be able to find many things by following the white road, but Jiang He is different. The people under him are like the gang members of the Qing Gang, spread all over Shanghai from all walks of life, especially in the docks, gambling halls, dance halls, and pawn shops. , These places are mixed with dragons and snakes, and it is easiest to get news and inquire about news.

Maybe Lu Tongcang felt that his powerful arm was too strong and he could no longer control him, so he wanted to kill him.

"Chen Youhua is indeed not his real name. Chen Youhua's real name is Cheng Feng, a chemistry teacher at Shanghai Jiuying Middle School. Later, he was dismissed because he was too lazy to make progress and had a fight with other teachers. After that, he went to work in a newspaper and changed his name to Chen Youhua. Until he was hunted down and disappeared in an accident.”

"What about the population of his family?"

"When he was a teacher in a middle school, it was written on his resume that he was from Ji'an, Jiangxi Province. He had parents, and his only son, that is, himself. It must have been passed, otherwise it would be impossible to hold a job, but there must be something wrong with this person, the average person looking for a job wishes to write as detailed as possible, but Chen Youhua does the opposite, this is one of the strange things."

"Also, according to his colleagues in the middle school, Chen Youhua seldom mentioned his family members at school, and his temperament was withdrawn and out of gregariousness, but when he went to the newspaper office, he became friendly and friendly. You see, Colleagues from the newspaper office spoke highly of him, saying that Chen Youhua is optimistic, kind, and a good person. How could such two diametrically opposite personalities appear in the same person?"

"If Chen Youhua is indeed Cheng Feng, there is only one explanation. One side of him is deliberately disguised, or his withdrawn and optimistic are all disguised. No one knows his real character, nor People know his origin, everything about him is like a mystery, now that he is dead, unless someone related to him is found, maybe even the name Cheng Feng is fake."

Yue Dingtang fell into deep thought.

Ling Shu also needed some time to sort out his thoughts.

Since Jiang He can regard this information as a favor, then its authenticity is almost inseparable.

"Have you ever been to Mingde Bookstore?" Yue Dingtang asked suddenly.

"That's right. Jiang He and I were suspicious. He also asked someone to check the Mingde Bookstore in Hangzhou. Coincidentally, after Chen Youhua died, I came back from Hangzhou. That night, the Mingde Bookstore closed. Yes, a notice was pasted outside the door, saying that the master is going out and the date of return is undecided, please move to another place."

Even though there was a problem with the manual store, they couldn't follow this clue to track it down.

After going around and around, there is still He Youan left.

All the clues are only on He Youan.

"I still can't figure it out. Why did He Youan entrust us to investigate the threat letter? If everything has something to do with her, she will only make things that no one pays attention to, but instead attract our attention."

"Two possibilities."

Yue Dingtang said lightly.

"One is that the matter has nothing to do with He Youan. She didn't know that Shen Shiqi wanted to kill Chen Youhua, and she didn't know that Chen Youhua escaped the assassination. It was a coincidence that the two of them appeared in that bookstore."

"Another possibility is that she and Chen Youhua are in the same group. She pulled us into the game, but she thought that she could drag us into the water when needed. To put it bluntly, she pushed some things onto us."

Ling Shu: "I don't think she's like this kind of person."

Yue Dingtang: "Your impression of her has deviated from what should be an objective position."

Ling Shu said innocently: "Why do I feel that your impression of her has already formed a prejudice?"

Yue Dingtang: "You said it yourself, all the coincidences put together are not coincidences. When Chen Youhua went to Mingde Bookstore, she happened to go to Hangzhou? Hangzhou is so big, why did she choose Mingde Bookstore? De?"

Ling Shu said: "Chen Wendong wanted to kill me, but she could have chosen not to send that note, which shows that she still has basic kindness towards us."

Yue Dingtang: "You are too naive."

Ling Shu: "Old Yue, although human nature may not be inherently good, He You'an has never done anything to hurt us so far. I think this matter can be broken through on her."

Yue Dingtang: "Tell me about it."

Ling Shu: "Just pretend that this matter has nothing to do with her. Chen Youhua must still have accomplices. If he really killed Shen Shiqi, Chen Youhua's accomplices might attack He Youan. I will warn He Youan to see what she has. reaction."

Yue Dingtang: "What if she doesn't respond?"

Ling Shu: "I'm still somewhat confident when it comes to judging people."

Just a few minutes after saying this sentence, Ling Shu felt a little regretful.

He stood outside He Youan's ward, staring at the two bodyguards.

There was movement of things being moved in the ward, and it sounded like He You'an was not the only one there, but the door was closed and nothing could be seen, and the gatekeeper refused to report, so Ling Shu could only continue to work.

It wasn't until the nurse came to change the dressing and knocked on the door that Ling Shu took the opportunity to shout.

"Miss He, I'm Ling Shu, I'm here to see you!"

"You boy!"

"What are you doing!"

The two bodyguards were furious, one on the left and one on the right were about to pick him up and throw him out.

Fortunately, He Youan finally heard it.

"Is that Mr. Ling? Please come in."

Ling Shu heaved a sigh of relief, and quickly dodged inside under the stares of the bodyguards.

But when he entered, he found that there were two large suitcases in the room, and two servants were helping He Youan pack the luggage, rushing in and out, and had to ask her to throw away some things or keep them.

"Miss He, are you going on a long trip?"

"Yes, I should be leaving Shanghai soon."

"Where are you going?" Ling Shu asked subconsciously.

"It's not decided yet, maybe it's Hong Kong, maybe it's a foreign country, walk around and relax."

Not seeing each other for a few days, He Youan has changed a bit.

This change is difficult to explain clearly in a few words.

He Youan is still that He Youan.

Still beautiful, quiet and peaceful.

If we say that He You'an in the past was like a branch of flowers hanging on the stream, brilliant and weak, with nowhere to go when the flowers fall with the flow, but now she is like a stone in the stream, no matter how many times the flowing water rushes by her, she looks at the moon while resting her pillow, The still shadow sinks into the jade, never wavering.

This kind of change is extremely subtle, if it wasn't for Ling Shu who paid special attention to her after a few days, she would never be aware of it.

Even a careless person would not be able to observe it.

"Why is it so sudden, isn't your filming only halfway through?" Ling Shu asked.

He Youan pointed to the gauze on his forehead.

"Look at me like this, can I continue filming? This film is definitely not going to be completed, and I have to change people temporarily. Mr. Cheng is afraid that I will be bored, so he let me go around. That's fine, I've lived in Shanghai long enough Now, it’s time to go out and have a look.”

"That's fine, when is the departure?"

"Two days."

Ling Shu was surprised.

"So urgent? Your injury is not fully healed yet, don't you need rest?"

He Youan smiled, "It's the same to go to rest on the ship. Mr. Cheng has brought a personal doctor. If there is any situation, he can diagnose it for me in time."

Ling Shu: "However, medical devices are not as convenient as hospitals."

He You'an: "It's okay, I think I'm fine, as long as it's not the intensity of filming, I can bear it."

Ling Shu finally knew where He Youan had changed.

She became cold and her expression was no longer vivid.

Ling Shu didn't know how she treated others, at least towards herself, she lost the tenderness and closeness she used to have.

"In that case, I have something to say before I leave. I want to say it to Ms. He. Is it convenient or not?"

He Youan glanced at him, and said to the two maids: "I want to eat some oranges and chestnuts fried in sugar, you go out and buy them for me, and I will pack them when you come back."

After the two maids left, He Youan took out a small kit from his handbag.

"Mr. Ling, don't worry, I promise you my reward, and I will definitely not break my word. This is the key to the No. [-] safe of HSBC Bank. After five days, you go to the bank to see the manager, and he will naturally take you to pick up the contents." .”

Ling Shu: "Why five days?"

He You'an smiled: "I'm afraid I won't have time to prepare. I'm sorry for your hard work. It's better to have two more days and be more thorough."

Ling Shu said: "To be honest, I investigated this case at first because of the reward promised by Ms. He, but later, whether the reward is paid or not is actually secondary."

He You'an: "I understand that you saved me at the premiere, and you definitely didn't do it for reward. Mr. Ling has a kind heart, I've always known it, and I'm very grateful for it, but unfortunately, apart from the yellow and white things, I can't think of anything else , I can express my gratitude.”

Ling Shu: "I want to know the truth?"

He Youan was surprised: "What truth?"

Ling Shu looked directly at her, and said abruptly, "Chen Youhua is dead."

He thought that what he said would cause He Youan's expression to change.

But there was nothing, He Youan was still at a loss.

"Who is Chen Youhua?"

Ling Shu: "Then Shen Shiqi is also dead, did you know that?"

He Youan: "I know."

Ling Shu: "Who told you?"

He You'an said: "Mr. Cheng, he just came here."

Ling Shu: "You don't have anything to say?"

He Youan sighed, showing a little sadness.

"What can I say? The relationship between Mr. Shen and me is well known. No matter what happened to him during his lifetime, his death is like a lamp going out. I can only express my condolences and pray for him. I hope that he can die in peace .”
