Tomb Raider Gu Tomb Miscellaneous Notes

Chapter 65 Jiang Si's Rebuttal

I sat on the steps, next to Zhang Rui, my eyes were blurred by the white moonlight.

Looking back, Zhang Rui was still leaning on the pillar in the same posture, his face was illuminated without a trace of blood.

After a while, I said, "Why is drinking here alone?"

Zhang Rui didn't speak, just kept drinking with the jug, as if he wouldn't stop until he was completely drunk.I think he is so stubborn, I'm afraid I can't persuade him.

I leaned against the other side of the colonnade and squinted my eyes for a while, remembering that it was only the two of us at this time, and I just happened to ask about Zhang Ci and Mr. Zhang, when Zhang Rui's cell phone rang suddenly.

After answering the phone, he put the phone to his ear and kept quiet. I vaguely heard a man's voice on the phone, saying something quickly, and Zhang Rui nodded a few times.

I wondered, I don't know what kind of person called to make Zhang Rui respond to him so meekly.Not long after, the answer to the mystery was revealed. Jiang Lin climbed in from the back wall, jumped in front of us and pulled the suspenders: "Oh, there is someone accompanying me, so I'd better avoid it."

Zhang Rui was so drunk that he stretched out his hand to Jiang Si: "Stop!..." He swayed while supporting the pillar. Jiang Si and I wanted to help him, but he shook his hands and refused, and finally stared at Jiang Si and said, "I asked you yesterday if you were coming, and you said you were busy. Now you are running here one by one, what are you doing?"

Jiang Si and I looked at each other and smiled wryly, Queen Zhang was losing her temper.

I did not see Jiang Si among the guests during the day, so my plan to inquire about the case with Jiang Si fell through.

Jiang Si apologized to Zhang Rui and said: "I'm dealing with an international theft case these two days, so I can't leave. The Jiang family sent someone over, so it's inappropriate for me to follow. Besides, I asked if you needed me." Come on, you say no, otherwise as long as you open your mouth, will I still come or not?"

Zhang Rui sneered softly: "Now you can walk away suddenly?"

Jiang Si laughed dryly: "Just now you made that voice on the phone...can I not come?"

Zhang Rui didn't say anything more, turned around with his body crooked, didn't take two steps, and fell to the ground with a plop.Jiang Si and I looked at each other, helped Fu forehead and said: "Let's move him back to the room first."

Jiang Si rolled up his sleeves and moved swiftly.

A drunk person weighs as much as a thousand catties. Jiang Si and I worked together to move him back to the house and put him on the bed. We were already sweating profusely.

I touched Zhang Rui's forehead and face, and then touched his neck: "No, he is hot all over!"

Jiang Sidao: "With me here, he will definitely have a fever." He said that he and Zhang Rui clashed in life, and he suppressed anyone with the word "Rui" in their name. Every time Zhang Rui met him, he would walk away in a humble manner. of.

After saying this, he also looked at me, patted me on the shoulder and said, "So it's still suitable for him with a natural vitality like you."

I said: "Unfortunately, I have someone in my heart."

Jiang Si was taken aback for a moment, then smiled.

Zhang Rui seemed to be falling ill every three days, and there was a cabinet of medicines in the room.Jiang Si asked him to swallow antipyretic tablets, went out for a while, and came back with a bowl of ginger soup, but was slapped and knocked over by Zhang Rui in a daze.

Later, Jiang Si simply wrapped Zhang Rui tightly with a few quilts, and sat on the side to enjoy the cool.I saw that he was familiar with these things, so I asked him if he really restrained Zhang Rui like this?He said: "I am a materialist, how could I believe such things, but Zhang Ruixin. I am familiar with it because he was with me a while ago, and I was tossed by him like this every day. I am the prince, and he is the Lafayette!"

Jiang Si has a superb mouth, even in this situation I can be made to laugh by him.

We watched by the bed for a while and saw that Zhang Rui had finally slept peacefully, so we went to the door to enjoy the shade together.

Zhang Rui drank the remaining half jug of wine and let us share it.

After drinking a few drinks, I asked Jiang Si: "Zhang Rui was with you a while ago?"

Jiang Si is also a fine fox, he understood what I wanted to ask when he heard it, took a few sips of wine, and said: "After you went to Wuhan with Mr. Undrunk, he came to live in Beijing for a while. I think he is in a bad mood. Take him around to play. Later, I accompanied him back to Suzhou, and something happened at home within a few days."

I thought for a while: "You don't think he poisoned his eldest brother and old man to death, do you?"

Jiang Sidao: "The autopsy results showed that the cause of death was myocardial infarction. Both of them had heart disease. It is hard to say whether they were killed by others. I believe that Zhang Rui did not poison, not because of my relationship with him, but because of my relationship with Yangzhou. I’ve gone, I suggested giving away the bean cakes, I didn’t know that his eldest brother also has heart disease, I picked the almond flavor, I like this flavor, so I recommend him to buy it, strictly speaking, I am an accomplice.”

Shen Er thinks that Zhang Rui's boring gourd may contain any medicine, but it is only natural for Jiang Si to favor Zhang Rui.I didn't dare to draw conclusions, so after thinking about it, I decided not to talk nonsense in front of Jiang Si.

Jiang Sichao leaned back, supported the threshold with one hand, and looked at the moon above our heads: "I think Zhang Rui is like this moon. Sometimes I see it far away in the sky with fog and shadows; sometimes I see it shyly hidden in the sky." In the clouds, there is only one shadow; sometimes it feels like it hangs high above the clouds, lonely and deserted. With different moods, it changes every day, but in fact it never changes. You feel that he is stuck in the mud, In fact, he has a clear mind."

I said: "Jiang Siye, you are so elegant, you want to say that Zhang Rui is innocent, and you still use the moon as a metaphor like this."

Jiang Si smiled: "It's all arty." After a pause, he seemed to suddenly think of something, and smiled happily, "When I first met Zhang Rui, he was still a little radish. Looking back now, it's really Time flies like an arrow."

Jiang Si was a chatterbox, and then he talked about the scene when he and Zhang Rui first met.

I always thought that Zhang Rui and Zhang Ci were brothers of the same father and mother. After hearing the past incident mentioned by Jiang Si, I realized that Zhang Rui and his sister were illegitimate children brought back. Never mentioned it.As for Zhang Ci being born in the principal house, it is only natural to be the future heir of the Zhang family, but Zhang Ci's mother does not favor her son, and has a partiality for Zhang Xiaogua, who is as inconspicuous as a dried tofu .Mr. Zhang can't understand Zhang Rui, and it is said that it is because of this.

Zhang's family and Jiang's family didn't have much friendship at first, but the two big families are both wealthy families in the antique world, so there are always exchanges of courtesy.Zhang Ci's mother had a cousin who was the third of the Jiang family's six evil spirits, that is, the son of Jiang's sixth son, Jiang Shan.

That year, Zhang Ci's mother went to Beijing to visit relatives. They took the little radish head Zhang Rui together. They first took the train to Tianjin, and then took the long-distance bus. On the way, they were hijacked by terrorists. Zhang Ci's young master was kidnapped by terrorists together with Zhang Ci's mother.

Jiang Si had just been transferred to the serious crime team at that time, and when he received news from the terrorists, he hurriedly called home to confirm.

Jiang Shan said with a sneer on the phone: "They kidnapped the wrong person. We will pay some compensation to the Zhang family. Women and children have nothing to do with us. Let them fend for themselves."

Jiang Si felt chilled when he heard that, and shouted at Jiang Shan on the phone: "Isn't that woman your cousin?!"

Jiang Shandao: "You're mistaken. It's not that I'm not going to save you. It's the old man of the Zhang family who told me that it depends on their fate. The woman brought a disaster. The old man Zhang was so afraid that he would die. The whole family was killed by that scourge, it is better to let that scourge die earlier."

Jiang Sidao didn't have the bodhisattva's heart to save someone's life and build a seven-level pagoda. He just wondered what kind of disaster could make Mr. Zhang so afraid.

So, he arranged the plan all night, and the next day, without telling his family, he led a group of people to rescue people.

After finally breaking into the terrorist's lair, Zhang Ci's mother was already dying in a pool of blood. Jiang Si saw a black-skinned little radish squatting beside the woman's shoulder, neither making a sound nor crying.The child just hugged his knees and squeezed his mouth tightly, staring at the woman, as if guarding her last moment.

The woman grabbed Jiang Si's hand and said: "This child's fate is not good, and he will kill those close to him. If you are not afraid, take good care of him for me."

Jiang Si glanced at Little Luobotou: "What's his name?"

The woman opened her mouth, said a word, and then died.

The gun battle outside was approaching, Jiang Si didn't dare to delay, he hurriedly picked up the little radish head and wanted to leave, but he didn't know that the little radish head was holding on to the woman's collar and refused to go, so Jiang Si had to forcefully pull his little hand away, but the result was still He bit the ear so hard that it was dripping with blood, and it was almost impossible to keep this ear.

Speaking of this, Jiang Si touched his left ear and sighed: "I believe that Zhang Rui just looks indifferent, he is also a person of flesh and blood, those fame, wealth and status are not necessarily in his eyes, how could he poison himself to death for it?" His elder brother? I can understand that he wants to kill Mr. Zhang, but I don't believe he will kill his elder brother. Although their relationship is not good, he understands how Zhang Ci treats him."

"Then old man Zhang and Zhang Ci were not murdered?"

Jiang Si shook his head: "It's murder, but the real culprit hasn't been found yet."

I frowned: "If someone else from the Zhang family killed Mr. Zhang and Zhang Ci, and then blamed Zhang Rui, wouldn't the biggest suspect be Zhang Ci's girlfriend, Bai Ying? She even made trouble in the mourning hall during the day. She looks like Zhang Rui must go to jail, and she is still crying in front of the old lady, I think she is just acting."

Jiang Si's expression was serious, as if he was thinking about something: "At first, I also thought Bai Ying was suspicious, but if she did it, what was her purpose? She could be the mistress of the Zhang family if she married Zhang Ci. Mr. Zhang also likes her very much, why did she ruin all of this? For her, after Mr. Zhang and Zhang Ci die, her backer will also be gone. This is definitely a loss-making business."

I said, "Maybe she has a bigger backer?"

Jiang Si thought for a while, then shook his head: "I've checked her background, but she's just an only daughter with a little money in her family."

We were silent one after another, helpless.

A trembling voice came from the bedside, and Zhang Rui seemed to wake up.

Jiang Si rushed to the bed, I followed slowly, Zhang Rui propped up his upper body, Jiang Si put a pillow on his back, and then touched his forehead: "The fever hasn't subsided, you just lie down Can't you?"

Zhang Rui looked displeased: "Whatever you say is like ordering a prisoner."

Jiang Si twitched his eyebrows: "Then you will treat me as the warden, why don't you lie down obediently?" As he said that, he was about to push the man back to the bed.Zhang Rui blocked it with his hands, and turned to me: "Wait a minute, I suddenly remembered something. Bottle, go back and ask Master Long if you have ever seen a blood-red bug, about an inch long, very It should be blood-sucking. I have seen it in books before, this kind of insect itself is not poisonous, but it can be raised as Gu insects, Young Master Long should be more familiar with it."

Listening to Zhang Rui's tone, I vaguely felt that he seemed to be implying something, and there was a trace of obscurity in my heart.

I nodded and said, "Okay. Fourth Master Jiang, take care of Zhang Rui, I'll go back to the hotel first."

Back at the hotel, I thought the incense burner was still asleep, but I saw him sitting by the window sill, quietly watching the night scene outside the window, as if he had been sitting for a long time.

I looked at my watch. It had been more than two hours since I left the hotel.

"When did you wake up? I found out that I'm not here, are you worried about me?" I went to him, wrapped his waist from behind, leaned in, brushed his long hair, and kissed his cold neck.

He said calmly and without emotion: "Where have you been?"

I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a little guilty, hesitated for a while before answering him: "I went drinking with Shen Er."

The incense burner didn't ask any more questions, and I wasn't sure if he believed it or not, thinking that I would have to have a confession with Shen Er later.

Later, he carried me to bed and did it several times in turn. I was so tired that I couldn't ask a word, and the root of my thigh was cramped several times by him.It's rare to see him so fierce, I asked him if he was angry, but he didn't speak, probably because he realized that I was dying, so he stopped and rolled me up to sleep.

The next day, I lifted the quilt and found that I couldn’t get out of bed. Just as the incense burner opened the door and came in, I heard Shen Er shouting outside in a loud voice: "Oh my god, I have been passionate all night, and the results are remarkable!"

I wiped the sweat from my forehead, and said to myself, it's not good, I'm afraid the lie will be exposed.

The author has something to say: The recent mysterious case of the Zhang family has nothing to do with tomb robbery, but it has something to do with the emotional development of the incense burner, the oil bottle, and Zhang Rui. up~
