broken dust

Chapter 6Itinerary

Shen Gu used his official position to obtain Qiao Qiao's itinerary during his lifetime.

According to the itinerary, at [-]:[-] p.m. this weekend, Qiao Qiao is going to attend a charity dinner.

However, she was dead, and the natural itinerary fell through.

Luo Qian said to him: "Unfortunately, the clue is broken again."

I found out where the strange public phone number was dialed from, and checked the surveillance video, but luck was very bad.

"Who else uses the public phone on the side of the road now!" said the little policeman who delivered the videotape.

A month ago, one of the two cameras near Wutong Lane on West Street in the city center was broken. Since the West Street passing through Wutong Lane is an old site that has just been demolished and is under construction and is planned to be a large business hotel, it has been surrounded for safety. Nature is off the beaten track.

The broken camera just happened to see Wutong Lane entering the deserted area of ​​West Street, and the other camera was the bustling and bustling commercial street next to the dedicated guardian.

The intact camera was taken right past the coffee shop around the corner next to the phone booth.

And the public phone booth happened to be at the corner of Wutong Lane, unfortunately no surveillance records were found.

The clues of the case are all broken, and everything is back to the original point.

Luo Qian said: "The parents of the deceased are all abroad, and they are expected to arrive the day after tomorrow."

Shen Gu felt a headache.

What's the use of that? It's hard to find useful clues from people around you, let alone parents who have been abroad all year round.

He immediately sent Luo Qian to find out about Ying Zhiyuan's tracking situation.

A Liang, the little policeman who was following him, called and said, "Ying Zhiyuan reported leave to the hospital this afternoon. It seems that he will go out later. The exact location has not yet been found out."

Shen Gu's eyes unexpectedly glanced at the half-month schedule.

It was provided by the agent of the deceased. The last itinerary for this half month is the charity auction held at [-]:[-] p.m. on a sunny day this weekend.

Sunshine Time is a leisure and vacation club, located on the top floor of Shidu International Hotel, the largest hotel in the city center. It is famous for its glass floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides. It is located at the highest point in the city center and can overlook the entire city.

It is said to be a charity auction, but it is actually a gathering party of the upper class and entertainment circles from time to time.Participate in a party to meet some high-society daoists, take two items home by the way, and use the money from the auction to donate to charity, which is considered a good deed.

People in fame and fortune circles always need charity news.

The agent of the deceased said that the deceased liked one of the auction items very much before his death, and sent someone to inquire about it.

It is a 500-year-old enamel-inlaid gemstone jewelry box.

If it has something to do with killing love, will anyone agree to it?

Shen Gu thought, anyway, the clues are all cut off now, and there is no way to start, so he simply went for a walk.

A 500-year-old enamel-inlaid gemstone jewelry box...

Shen Gu played with the wallet in his hand.

It's okay to take a look on her behalf, but I'm afraid it's impossible to take pictures home.

"Sir, this suit suits you very well. Do you want to wrap it up?" The salesperson's smile was clean and refreshing.

Shen Gu looked in the mirror. The black dark pattern suit was finely tailored and made of exquisite materials. He would shave his beard and trim his hair later. At least he would not be turned away if he went to a high-end party tomorrow.

For rich people's parties, at least "do as the Romans do", so as not to attract too much attention.

"Okay, let's just set this up." Shen Gu handed the salesperson a gold card.

"I'm sorry, sir, but you can't use this card."

Such a sudden noise from the empty luxury jewelry area can be described as "shocking the world and weeping ghosts and gods".

Shen Gu looked at the girl in front of the cash register, with sincere eyes and a friendly smile, it didn't seem like she was lying to him.

He took out another card and handed it over.

"Sorry sir, it still doesn't work"

He, a down-and-out gentleman, only brought two cards, so he had to call Shen Jihe immediately to ask him to "ask the teacher".

"Oh..." Shen Jihe was drinking afternoon tea, he said unhurriedly and meaningfully, "Your card should have been suspended, but it's definitely not mine."

Shen Gu reacted: "What is the old man stopping my card for?"

Shen Jihe replied: "I went back last night and heard that after you left, the aunt at our villa in Yujingshan Villa came to find Lao Zhao Jie's salary, and then she said that she slipped her tongue, saying that you didn't live there for half a month... Then Dad asked me where you lived recently... how would I know?"

Shen Gu was angry: "This old man! Just stop my card for such a small matter?"

Then he wanted to cry without tears: "Can I take back my necklace and watch?"

Shen Jihe coughed dryly twice: "Um, I went to pick it up last night but it was left at the company. I have asked Lao Zhao to send it back at noon."

Shen Gu: ...

Shen Jihe: "I probably know that you frequently release the pigeons that pay Yumian, plus your current 'whereabouts are a mystery', I feel that you are trying your best to escape from his 'Wuzhishan', so you must be angry for a while."

Shen Gu was puzzled: "Didn't you send Lao Zhao back my gift?"

Shen Jihe pretended to be regretful and sighed: "It's late, I guess your card was suspended this morning, and the gift was sent back at noon... The water splashed out by the command to go out cannot be taken back."

After speaking, the coffee in his hand was almost cold, so he drank it all in one gulp.

Shen Gu shouted: "Then you are also to blame!"

As he spoke, he heard a strange noise coming from his ear, and asked curiously, "What are you doing?"

Shen Jihe was very leisurely, the corners of his mouth almost reaching his ears: "Afternoon tea, coffee."

Shen Gu choked again: "You..."

He looked at the clothes on his body, and then at the two salesgirls who were staring at him. He suddenly felt very sad, and suddenly "sorrow came from it", and the record player in his mind kept playing "Little Cabbage", "You Hurry up and pay me the bill!"

Shen Jihe put down his coffee and deliberately flipped through the documents at hand, "I have a meeting later, I'll ask Secretary Song to come over!"

Shen Gu completely exploded: "Shen Jihe, get the hell out of here right now!"

After speaking, hang up the phone.

The two salesgirls looked at each other without speaking, so they had to take the clothes from his hand and wrap them in the gift box.

Shen Gu was sitting on the small sofa next to the fitting room, crossing his legs and flipping through magazines.

Ten minutes later, Shen Jihe came over.

"Why so late?" Shen Gu put down the magazine and asked.

"You hung up the phone so quickly and didn't tell me the address. I have to think about it."

Shen Jihe paid the bill at the cash register.

"Later, when I thought about it, you usually don't know a few clothing brands because you are so slovenly, so you must be here, after all..." Shen Jihe handed him the paid clothes.

Shen Gu took the clothes and asked curiously, "What is it after all?"

Shen Jihe smiled: "After all, your only formal suit was bought by me here on the day my father held his 50th birthday party four years ago."

Shen Gu was speechless.

They really came out of the same mold of father and son, old and cunning, no, small and cunning!

"Hey!" Shen Jihe handed him a card, "It's only 10 yuan, save it, I can't give you too much to be afraid of being exposed, if you have nothing to do, go home, and within half a month, your card will be unlocked .”

After speaking, he threw the car keys to him, "Look at your outfit... You can't take the bus every day. It doesn't match your outfit. I will lend you this car for two days."

Shen Gu gave a thumbs up: "As expected of Mr. Shen, the right-hand man of the president of the Ducheng United Chamber of Commerce, such a small matter is considered so thoughtful for me, delicate and far-sighted, thank you!"

Shen Jihe looked at him pretending to be flattering, wishing he could slap and bend his thumb.

"Okay, I have something to do, so I will leave first."

With that said, Song Min, Shen Jihe's secretary, had already come downstairs to pick him up.

Shen Gu leaned against the car window and waved: "Go slowly, Mr. Shen!"

Shen Jihe rolled the car down, slightly curved his mouth, and joined him instead: "The blind date went well!"

After speaking, he drove away with his car, leaving Shen Gu frozen in the wind.

When did I say I went on a blind date?

The sunlight passed through the glass on the side of the cafe and wrapped Shen Gu warmly, and the half-sprayed sunlight shone impartially on his profile.Soft but brisk classical guitar music is played on the record player in the cafe.Shen Gu was wearing a black suit with dark patterns that he bought yesterday, with a simple white shirt inside.

The bow tie, cufflinks, and brooches are all in place, and he has specially shaved his beard and trimmed his hair, and he got a pair of big gold-rimmed glasses from somewhere. Although he looks thin and bright, he is not lacking in elegance.

He sat down at the coffee table near the door, and opposite sat a five or six-year-old girl in a pink dress. She was the store manager's daughter and came here to spend the weekend with her mother.

"If the sun of the dead summer is gentle, it must be the morning wind kissing her"

The little girl is holding a talking book and imitating the little people in it to say love words.

Shen Gu smiled and stirred the coffee, then picked it up and tasted it.But his eyes pass through the door of the cafe from time to time to visit the door of Shidu International Hotel opposite.

There are less than two hours before the start of the Sunny Time Charity Dinner. As the co-organizer, Shidu International Hotel fully demonstrated the customary style of the No. [-] Hotel in Ducheng. Flower baskets spread horizontally from the gate to both sides and extended to the lobby on the first floor. The hotel security guards and hostesses stood neatly in two rows, waiting for the coming VIPs.

"Brother, my mother said that in the big hotel opposite, there will be many princes and princesses in beautiful clothes dancing together at night. Is it true?"

The little girl put down the album in her hand and asked while lying on the table.

Shen Gu rolled his eyes: "Yes."

The little girl tilted her head, looked him up and down, then turned her head to look at the opposite side, suddenly got off the stool and went straight to his arms, looking up at him with her big blinking eyes: "My brother is so beautiful, I also want to go in and talk to him at night." Did the princess dance with you?"

Shen Gu was stunned for a moment, Shen Jihe's words "The blind date went well" suddenly echoed in his mind, he smiled wryly, and stroked her hair pretending to be sad: "Brother can't get in because I don't have a beautiful princess as a dance partner."

The little girl climbed up along his legs, Shen Gu stretched out his hands helplessly and hugged her on his lap.She stretched out her little hand and patted Shen Gu's head lightly: "Brother, don't be sad, when I grow up and become a beautiful princess, then I can go in and dance with my brother."

"Then I would like to thank you." Shen Gu smiled softly, took out a toffee from his jacket pocket and handed it to her, "Here for you."

The little girl had just received the candy happily when her mother came over, leaned over Shen Gu's side and said softly to the little girl in his arms, "Come down, mom will take you to the back to eat cake, okay?"

He opened his hands as he spoke, although his tone was gentle, but there was censure in his eyes.

The little girl rubbed off Shen Gu's body reluctantly.

The coffee shop manager said very apologetically to Shen Gu, "I'm sorry to bother you."

Shen Gu stood up very gentlemanly and shook his head lightly to indicate that he was okay, then watched the coffee shop manager lead the little girl and turned around and walked towards the back kitchen.

At this time, seven or eight cars parked one after another outside the gate of Shidu International Hotel. Shen Gu turned around and saw twenty or thirty media reporters come down in unison. Good location to squat.

Among them, two newspaper reporters retreated to the entrance of the coffee shop. When they accidentally caught a glimpse of Shen Gu drinking coffee leisurely at the coffee table outside, they couldn't help but take a second look and started whispering.

One person thought Shen Gu looked familiar, but couldn't remember anything.

Another person persuaded him to concentrate on staying, and half-jokingly said: "All good-looking people are similar."

Then the man withdrew his scrutiny.

Shen Gu looked at the paper logo pasted on their microphones, smiled and said nothing.

These two paper media mainly focus on the economic sector. Three years ago, when Shen Jihe officially took over the 17 holding companies of the Shen family, he held a press conference. He was forced to go to the scene by Shen Musheng, but he was always sitting in the back row of the guest seats. No one noticed that the two media outlets were also present at the time, and they asked tricky questions, which impressed him deeply.

Shen Gu didn't really like drinking coffee here, but when he came here today, he found that there were two staff members at the door who were dedicated to accepting invitations.

It's a pity that he doesn't have an invitation letter. Fortunately, he has money and time, so he can sit here and drink coffee while spending time.

This squat location is excellent, it doesn’t matter if you can’t get in, you can clearly see everyone who goes in from this location, just go and find out who took the photo of the jewelry box tomorrow.

It's a pity, it's rare for him to put so much effort into dressing up grandly.

Shen Jihe has just finished the semi-annual summary meeting of the joint chamber of commerce. This kind of joint chamber of commerce brings together core figures from most of the Ducheng business circle, and is usually chaired by the president of the chamber of commerce, Shen Musheng.

Shen Musheng didn't come this time, so Shen Jihe had all the power.

After the meeting, secretary Song Min sorted out the financial statements submitted by the representatives of the Chamber of Commerce and the review of the development plan for the second half of the year, and then handed them over to Shen Jihe.

Shen Jihe sat at his desk and flipped through it carefully, with a serious expression on his face.

"Only [-]% of the supporters for the 'Southward Strategic Joint Venture' project proposed at the meeting." Song Min said cautiously.

Shen Jihe didn't say a word, staring at the plan review document in his hand, when he frequently saw the line "About our company's current capital chain stagnation and unable to participate in the southward strategic joint venture project", he pressed his temple with a headache, "These old foxes !"

The tone is a little tired.

Song Min took the hot coffee handed over by the little assistant, stirred it and put it on Shen Jihe's right hand.

"There are too many easy lives, and it is always difficult to change."

"Be prepared for danger in times of peace!" Shen Jihe said in a deep voice while picking up his coffee.

Song Min didn't dare to speak, and stood aside.

Shen Jihe said softly: "Nowadays, a small number of business districts in the south are also starting to form groups. Although the momentum of ants is not to be feared, but 'the wind blows at the end of Qingping'... If we keep guarding our one-acre three-point land and not expand In the scope of the industry, if some large-scale joint venture projects are not promoted to enhance the bonding of the interests of various parties, it will be very troublesome to clean up if there is a defection in the future.”

Song Min said awkwardly: "In fact, most of them still support it, but there are a few...and there are two big heads who take the lead in opposing..."

Shen Jihe knew which two families he was talking about, thought for a moment and asked, "Did Director Fu come back?"

Song Min lowered her head, "Say it's coming back the day after tomorrow", and then comprehended and said, "If there is Fu Dong's help, the two big heads probably have nothing to say!"

Shen Jihe turned around the chair, tapped rhythmically on the palm of his right hand with a pen in his right hand, and stared out of the window on the 32nd floor.

As the sun sets, the glow is endless.

After a long time, he suddenly said, "Go and check Miss Fu's recent itinerary."

"Yes" Song Min responded and backed out, and returned to Shen Jihe's office 2 minutes later.

Song Min lowered her head: "Mr. Shen, Miss Fu's latest schedule is tonight."

Then he raised his eyes and added: "Do you need to contact the young master?"

"No need." Shen Jihe slowly got up and buttoned the top button of his shirt, then ran directly to the door with a smile on his lips.

Song Min couldn't figure out what he was thinking, so she didn't ask any more questions.He took Shen Jihe's suit from the coat rack and put it on his arm, and quickly followed behind him.
