Netherworld Investigator

It was a rare Saturday not to be occupied by work, Wen Baifan had a sound sleep, and it was nearly ten o'clock when he woke up.

He rolled comfortably, stretched out a hand from under the thick quilt, and opened the curtain of the bay window, and hung the corner of the curtain on the hook in the corner.

The weather is fine today.Wen Baifan raised his face and squinted his eyes, letting his tiredness slowly evaporate in the sun like dewdrops in the morning.

But before he fell asleep again, the mobile phone placed by the bed suddenly rang angrily.

Looking at the caller ID, Wen Baifan sat up stiffly, cleared his throat, and said "ah boo bae eh" once before answering the phone.

He said calmly, "Morning."

"Have you not gotten up yet?" The other party hit the nail on the head.

"Can you hear it all?" Wen Bofan couldn't believe it, "I even opened my voice to answer the phone."

"I can't hear it, I lied to you." The other party clicked his tongue twice, "What time is it and you still don't get up, really, you can't keep up with the hot ones if you eat waste oil.

"I have nothing to do to eat gutter oil. What's the matter, do you want to invite me to dinner, I know." Wen Bofan walked to the sink and put the hands-free mobile phone on the glass shelf, "My son is sure Miss me too."

"You don't even have a date, and you still miss your son." The other party scolded, "Don't you want to ask some girl out for dinner on such a sunny and sunny Saturday?"

"I'm inviting you to dinner, the beautiful Ms. Wenqin." Wen Bofan slowly squeezed the toothpaste and blinked in the mirror, "Please call me a little mature, I'm Your nephew, the eldest nephew who is almost 30 years old, this stack of characters sounds like Liangliang is a lifetime.

"Slick tongue." Wen Qin said reproachfully, "Okay, since you have nothing to do, come over for lunch. Your uncle caught a nine-pound reservoir fish in the morning. Didn't you say you wanted to eat braised fish last time?" is it on?"

Wen Bofan and his aunt lived not far away, only a 10-minute walk away.

Before his uncle retired, he was in the flower business and earned a lot of money. More than ten years ago, he bought this small villa with full money. There was a courtyard of about [-] square meters in front of the house, which was decorated quietly and freshly by the old couple.

When Wen Bofan came to the door, the beautiful Ms. Wenqin was sitting on a small bench in the garden full of singing birds and flowers, and was wiping the body of the cat that had just bathed with a cloth towel.

"I'll come, I'll come." Wen Bofan took the towel, bowed down with a smile, stretched out his hand and rubbed his hairy head. "Meow, Dad misses you to death, and will take you home later."

It was a black-and-white cat of the same style as the sheriff. Except for the four round paws and a white tuft of hair on the head, the whole body was black.After Maomao got wet, the whole cat lost a lot of weight, but its momentum remained unchanged.

The sheriff squinted his eyes halfway, let out a lazily "mi", the soft pad of flesh "slapped" on Wen Bofan's finger, and pushed his paw with a serious expression.

Wen Bofan persistently scratched its chin, rubbed its ears, and smacked its head, "I haven't seen you for a week, do you miss Dad?"

The cat was so annoyed by him, it jumped off the aunt's hand and wagged its tail three times perfunctorily, expressing respectively that I heard you, how annoying, and shut up.

The cat stretched out its paws and plucked a white flower.Wen Baifan picked it up and pinched the pair of little spicy claws that were destroying flowers, "Be smart, baby, these are your uncle's treasures, if they are damaged, you will do nothing, why don't you?" Father is going to be beaten."

The cat raised its paws and snorted at his face, and while Wen Baifan was sneezing, it jumped from his arms to the ground, walked slowly around the yard, and finally lay down on the side of the stone pool.

It hugged its tail and stared at the little goldfish swimming in the water with burning eyes.

Wen Qin turned around and went into the room to prepare tea, not forgetting to scold her nephew, "Straighten your back, don't be lazy, don't be lazy all day, girls will think you are so unreliable."

Wen Bofan followed her with a towel in his hands, "Yeah, they all just say I'm so cute."

My aunt had an unbearable expression on her face: "You're still cute at the age of 30."

"Why can't you be cute when you're 30? You're still so cute when you're over 50."

The aunt snorted softly: "You are so good at coaxing people, why can't you find someone?"

Wen Bofan touched his nose and dared not speak.

"You have to be half as patient with your girlfriend as you are with cats, and you won't be dumped by Miss Fu back then." The aunt sighed, "Look at your cousin, she will get married as soon as she graduates, Liangliang is almost ten years old this year, I don't need to worry about it, it's you..."

After work, Wen Bofan has never had a stable and long-term relationship partner, and he is still alone so far, so Wen Qin is naturally very anxious.Wen Baifan lost his parents when he was young, and his mother when he was young. Wen Qin is the only relative.Therefore, although he feels helpless about being urged to marry, he is also grateful for the care.

In fact, strictly speaking, Wen Bofan was brought up by Zhao Ming, so he didn't spend much time with Wen Qin's family.And these short moments of being together are all scattered and dazzling sunlight through the leaves falling on the ground. This kind of nagging, just like the cat occasionally lying in his arms and falling asleep, is just a small warm burden .

"Grandma, uncle!" A crisp child's voice sounded behind Wen Bofan, "I'm back!"

Wen Bofan turned around, and a small cannonball went straight into his arms, "Uncle, I miss you so much!"

Wen Bofan rubbed his head affectionately.

The child raised his face, revealing two deep dimples, and shouted loudly: "Do you miss me very much?"

"I miss you so much." Wen Bofan was so sweet by him, he reached out and fed him a piece of chocolate, "How long has it been since we played games together?"

"Did Liangliang not go out to play today?" Wen Qin asked her daughter.

Wen Baifan's cousin's family of three lives in the same community as Wen Qin and his wife, and they can basically take care of each other.

"Liangliang's classmate is sick, he went to send condolence cookies, and we took him to the hospital in the morning."

"Hey, why do you let such a small child go to the hospital." Wen Qin frowned, with disapproval on her face, "There are all kinds of people in the hospital, what if they get infected with bacteria?"

"I put on a mask for him and washed his hands well." The cousin comforted his mother softly, "Besides, Liangliang is the class monitor, so it is right to care for classmates."

Liangliang sat on the ground with the cat in his arms, and looked at Wen Bofan eagerly: "Uncle, teach me the magic of making jelly."

Wen Bofan laughed dryly, and touched his empty pocket.

Ever since the boy Qiao Xin disliked him as "childish!" last time, he hasn't brought jelly with him for almost two weeks.

"Forget it this time, uncle failed to read the article today, and I will save you a big move next time."

Liangliang seriously discussed with Wen Bofan: "Then when I come back next week, you can teach me that day, okay?" He took out a small calendar with many colorful marks on it. "Next Saturday is the 16th. I'll go and play with you that day, okay?"

Wen Bofan was curious: "Why do you suddenly want to learn this?"

"My best friend's birthday is coming up and I want to surprise him."

After lunch, Wen Baifan hugged the cat, hummed a song, and walked home slowly.

The cat stepped on Wen Bofan's bent arm with its hind paws, stood up straight, put its front paws on his shoulders, and flicked its ears, looking majestic.

Like an eagle!

Seeing that it was in good spirits, Wen Bofan turned his face to make trouble with it, rubbed his nose against the clean soft fur, and as expected, he was pushed away impatiently.The master was not annoyed by this trembling, he smiled, and a familiar handsome face could not help but appear in his mind, probably because the cold and proud eyes were somewhat similar to the cat uncle.

After getting out of the elevator, Wen Baifan stopped and looked at a slim figure standing in front of his house with some surprise.

"Long time no see, Officer Wen." Fu Ruyun greeted him with a smile.

Wen Bofan also laughed, and quickly invited her into the room, picked up the mobile phone that had been forgotten on the cabinet in the entrance, and took a look, "You called me several times, and you forgot to bring it when you were in a hurry to go out."

The cat in his arms jumped out of his arms as soon as he entered the house, and ran into the bedroom without looking back.

"Yeah, I wanted to come here to eat, but I miss your craftsmanship so much." Fu Ruyun sat down on the sofa, "Hey, I'm joking, don't worry about it, I've already eaten."

Her makeup was exquisite, but her eyes were a little red, and her expression was lingeringly tired, as if she had just stayed up late.

"Be careful of scalding." Wen Bofan held out a glass, and the pale yellow chrysanthemum and bright red medlar floated in the hot water, which was really pretty.The heat-clearing and bright-eyed plants exude a sweet and bitter fragrance. Fu Ruyun took a sip, and a sweet taste appeared on the tip of his tongue.

The man knew that she was afraid of hardship, so he carefully added some rock sugar.

Fu Ruyun curled her lips and smiled helplessly.

"It's so rare, big reporter, to think of my ex-boyfriend who was dumped." Wen Baifan teased her.

Fu Ruyun woke up from the momentary trance, brushed her temples lightly, and raised her eyebrows with a smile: "Huh? Ex-boyfriend, is that how you position yourself? We only held hands once, it's almost ten times better than those who hit each other Youth films that are softer and more innocent."

"Hey, this is too indifferent! The fragile heart of the old man living alone was shattered by you." Wen Baifan stood in the open kitchen, took out a bucket of fresh milk from the refrigerator, poured it into a small pot, "Besides, today's youth films are all about taking drugs, breaking up, getting married, getting pregnant, having an abortion, and having a car accident. There's no such thing as pure love."

Fu Ruyun took another sip of the tea, and complained seemingly casually, "Actually, you are the coldest person. When I left, you didn't say a word to keep me back."

I remember that day six years ago, when Fu Ruyun told him that his superior had already approved his resignation application, and Wen Baifan just stood blankly in the corridor and said "oh" unmoved.

"How did I know that you meant to break up with me? You clearly just said to resign." Wen Baifan flipped his wrist, and added a spoonful of cocoa powder to the boiling milk pot, and the slightly astringent sweet fragrance permeated the air , "Besides, since you have already decided to leave me, as the dumped person, I have no right to say anything."

The cat probably smelled the fragrance of milk, and jumped out from nowhere, circling around Wen Baifan's trousers as if drugged, like a dog.Wen Baifan was overwhelmed by this sudden clinginess, and even opened the refrigerator carefully, for fear of stepping on the little guy.

It was obvious that before it was a look of "Go away, it's in the way!", and now it seemed to be saying fiercely, "Bastard, go too far, come back!"

Wen Baifan was overwhelmed by his own brain, and scratched his face with a smile.

"You don't know anything at all." Fu Ruyun stared at him unhappily for a while, then lay down on the sofa discouraged.In front of this man, she, who is mature and intellectual, can't help acting like an angry little girl.

With his back turned to her, Wen Baifan slowly filled the mug with the milk pot, and he suddenly said, "I know, it's because of the laughing wind."

Fu Ruyun's eyes widened suddenly, she stared at his back, and said in a low voice: "I never believed that he would do such a thing, and I know you don't either."

Seven years ago, Wen Baifan and Tang Xiaofeng were found collapsed in a biotechnology park in Science City, one dead and one injured.

In a previous drug trafficking case, Tang Xiaofeng could not convict the suspect due to lack of key evidence, so he ordered the informant to forge evidence, but Wen Baifan broke through the negotiation process.Under the dispute, Tang Xiaofeng caused Wen Baifan to suffer severe head injuries, and fell to the ground bleeding. He himself committed suicide in fear of crime.

And Wen Baifan's head was severely injured, and all the memories before and after this incident disappeared.When he was discharged from the hospital and returned to work, he found that the investigation process of this case had been included in a secret file that could only be accessed with high-level authority.

"Even if they all stop me, one day, I will investigate everything clearly." This is also Fu Ruyun's original intention to resign from the Propaganda Department and become a social news reporter.

"I wish you success." Wen Baifan sat down opposite Fu Ruyun with a cup in his hand, and took out a box from his bag, "Do you want to eat the cookies my sister baked?"

There was a piece of today's newspaper on the coffee table, and Fu Ruyun was about to pick it up to take a look, when a plush ball came out of the kitchen with a "swish" like lightning, leaped lightly from the chair onto the table, and pawed Hold down the newspaper.

The glazed cat's eyes were full of defense, and it stared at Fu Ruyun for a moment, as if saying, "Do you dare to move?"

"Hey, look at your cat, it's too good at taking up space."

Wen Baifan quickly reached out and hugged the cat to the ground.

Only then did Fu Ruyun pick up the newspaper, pointed to the headline and said to Wen Baifan, "You saw the news about Fu Jianbang's admission to the hospital."

Regarding Fu Jianbang, the chairman of the Fushi Group, there are many different theories circulating in the market.

Fu Jianbang's net worth is not clean, his ancestors were involved in gangsters, and he himself is tough.Some people say that the rise of the Fu Group is actually a way for Fu Jianbang to launder his business in order to deceive others.He has the nickname "Spider". On the one hand, it is because the group's investment projects cover various industries and fields. Especially in recent years, it has not only been limited to medicine, but has also begun to get involved in entertainment and high-tech industries. The ambition is evident.On the other hand, it is said that Fu Jianbang possesses a powerful underground organization and a spider-web-like intelligence system, allowing him to reach the sky with his eyes.

Hooligans have achieved the ultimate and become a gentleman.The more important reason why Fu Jianbang is well-known among ordinary people is his high-profile publicity in philanthropy. Every year, he publicly donates huge sums of money to the medical construction cause in poor and backward areas.

There have always been rumors that the ultimate goal of Fu Jianbang's philanthropy is to evade taxes and launder money, and the ins and outs of that huge donation have been closely watched by the government.Relevant departments have reviewed Fu Jianbang's financial situation many times, but due to the lack of key evidence, each investigation has ended without a problem.

Fu Jianbang's wife is called Lin Li, his second wife, 25 years younger than Fu Jianbang.The two officially registered their marriage six years ago. Before that, Lin Li had worked as Fu Jianbang's personal assistant for five years.

On the evening of January 1, the day before yesterday, the young Mrs. Fu passed away due to a failed operation.The next day, Fu Jianbang needed to stay in the hospital for observation due to excessive grief.

This is the news in today's newspaper.

"Big reporter, do you want to follow up and report on this matter?" Wen Baifan asked.

"It's not just me, many reporters in the same company are staring at this news. It's just that Shengci Hospital has a special inpatient department on the 22nd floor for celebrities, and people without permission are not allowed to enter or leave. Reporters can only stay in the hospital At the door, or search for side information on other floors, and fight guerrilla warfare with the hospital.”

"Special inpatient department?" Wen Baifan picked up the cat lying on his feet, and spread its limbs on his knees.

"For the privacy of the celebrities, there is a whole floor of wards that staff and relatives without an access card can't get to. Although the fees are expensive, they are very popular with the rich." Fu Ruyun chewed on the cookies, articulate Unclearly said, "Fu's Group invests a lot of money in Shengci Hospital every year. We have received top-secret news that Shen Siyuan, the director of Shengci Hospital, has a close relationship with Fu Jianbang in private. The editor-in-chief wants to I will use this as an entry point to make an in-depth report on medical institutions and the pharmaceutical industry.”

"A piece of cookie bought your top-secret information." Wen Baifan was a little amused.

"Which one of us is with whom?" Fu Ruyun hesitated, "Actually, I came today because I have something to ask you..."

"Didn't you ask me to investigate Mrs. Fu Jianbang's death?" Wen Baifan reminded her, "I'm a public official, not a private investigator, let alone a reporter."

"Hey, are you quite principled?" Fu Ruyun clicked her tongue lightly and explained, "The case I want you to help investigate is a somewhat bizarre suicide. The time when the deceased committed suicide happened to be Fu Jianbang On the night of my wife's death, they were all patients in the special inpatient department on the 22nd floor of the Holy Mercy Hospital."
