I come from the abyss

In the dining area of ​​the Crown Hotel in Xinzhou District, the stainless steel doors on both sides of the lobby lead to Chinese and Western restaurants, a large banquet hall and a cafeteria respectively. The corridor facing the elevator and stairs is a private room.

There was a lot of people in the room, and when the door was closed, the corridor was silent.

The door of the most hidden box in the long corridor was opened, and Jiang Heng walked out, shutting all the noise of persuasion inside behind him, and his ears were quiet for a while, and walked to the smoking area to rest, leaning against the window to clear the depression in his chest.

He took out a hard candy from his pocket, Li Zan’s regular candy for quitting smoking. He had hidden it in his pocket at some point. Jiang Heng peeled off the sugar coating and put the candy in his mouth. Chan's kiss.

There was a slight smile on the corner of Jiang Heng's lips, and the tranquility he had gained from his busy schedule was quickly broken. Someone slammed the door violently, entered the smoking area, cursed, mixed with a few vernacular slang, and there seemed to be others around him humbly flattering him, counting on the boss Can take a break.

"Fuck you dead head! If you want to kill me, just tell me, what are you doing? Don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"

"I can't make up my mind. Mr. Zheng clearly stipulates that he will stay in the Crown Hotel and stay in Xinzhou District. He can't go anywhere unless the bidding project is over."

"What do you mean now that my mother's words are words and mine are farts?"

"It's not like that...but Zheng is always the one who pays the salary."

"You—!" The young and impatient voice seemed to be pissed off, but seeing that the subordinates didn't make any progress, they changed the way of discussion: "You also saw the news and heard the rumors in the circle that the people who participated in the bidding are all dead! Dead Have you seen how miserable it is? There is also Yu Hongying from Wanyin Industry, who stayed in this hotel two days ago, was ambushed, blood flowed like a river, and almost died!"

"How dare you say it's the hotel with the best security, that's it?"

"I don't care. Even if you can't leave Yuejiang City, at least change to another hotel. It's too dangerous here."

"But the Crown Hotel is indeed the safest place in Yuejiang City."

"You elm bump—"

"Be aware of the noise."

The sudden greeting interrupted the dispute, and the two looked at Jiang Heng, neither of whom knew each other.

Zhao Xi: "Who are you?"

Jiang Heng still didn't move by the window, and only said his name, but Zhao Xi, a dude, still couldn't recognize him, so the secretary beside him hurriedly reminded him in a low voice: "The Jiang family in Hong Kong Island, the head of the family with real power, and Mr. Zheng and Mr. Zhao People who sit on equal footing."

Speaking of 'Hong Kong Island Jiang's', Zhao Xi already thought of Jiang Heng, the person his parents would greet with a smile on his face, and the shadow of their dude all his life.

Zhao Xi hurriedly strode over, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Jiang Sheng, I never expected to meet you here. I have admired you for a long time, and I have been looking for a chance to make friends, but unfortunately I have never been there. Now it seems that the fate has not come yet." , once the fate comes, people can meet in a foreign land."

Jiang Heng's smile was half a smile, and he didn't mean to shake back.

Zhao Xi withdrew his hand without any embarrassment, and continued to smile warmly and cheerfully: "You live here too?"

"Changhong Real Estate is also interested in the Qingshan Project, but I didn't expect you to be the representative...I'm sorry to overhear your conversation just now." Jiang Heng apologized without sincerity.

"It's because we didn't pay attention, making noise in public and disturbing your tranquility."

Jiang Heng's whereabouts are a mystery. I heard that he was still grazing in England last year. He happened to be in Yuejiang City at this moment. Could it be that he also came for the Qingshan Project?

Zhao Xi's thoughts changed, and he pestered Jiang Heng even more tightly to chat. Most of them were nonsense and clichés, but it was a pity that his skills were not enough, and his purpose was obvious, showing his shortcomings.

Jiang Heng interrupted him appropriately: "Yu Hongying from Wanyin Industrial also lives in the hotel. I heard that there was an attack, and the security didn't even see the attacker's face."

Zhao Xi took a cold breath: "Yes, indeed...it's quite dangerous, isn't Jiang Sheng afraid?"

Jiang Heng: "Get ready to go."

Zhao Xi's cheeks twitched, and he gave the secretary a hard look, and the boss ran away in fear, trying to trick this elm lump into holding on to Ms. Zheng's orders!

The secretary bowed his head with a bitter face.

Jiang Heng mentioned casually: "Are you afraid?"

Zhao Xi smiled awkwardly.

Jiang Heng smiled: "It's human nature to be afraid of death, and I'm not afraid too? Your secretary is right, the security at the Crown Hotel is indeed the best in Yuejiang City."

The implication is that other hotels have worse security.

The secretary nodded again and again: "Perhaps it was Yu Hongying who escaped the disaster by staying in the Crown Hotel. You see, Lin Chengtao in Guangzhou also stayed in the presidential suite of the five-star hotel, so he was killed?"

Zhao Xi had a sad face, he really regretted his life.

Jiang Heng said at the right time: "The hotel security in Yuejiang City is indeed the best in the Crown, but looking at the security places in Yuejiang, the Crown is not yet ranked high."

Zhao Xi's eyes lit up immediately: "Jiang Sheng, do you know where the safest place is? I'm willing to pay as much as I want... double it!"

Jiang Heng's smile deepened: "My villa in Xinzhou District."

Zhao Xi was disappointed, private villa.

"The residential building in the same community is the police station building, where retired policemen and their families live."

Police compound!Zhao Xi quickly took Jiang Heng's hand and said, "Jiang Sheng, the Jiang family and the Zhao family are aristocratic families. My parents admire you very much. They often talk about the friendship with you at home. When it comes to seniority, I have to call you." Shibo—"

"Don't be too polite, you can stay here if you want." Jiang Heng withdrew his hand without any trace, handed him the key, and mentioned the address of the villa by the way.

Zhao Xi was full of energy, and invited Jiang Heng to have dinner together: "There is an uncle on the table who works for the Planning Bureau. Don't you see Mr. Jiang?"

Jiang Heng declined: "There are still people waiting."

Zhao Xi's eyes flickered, but he wasn't interested?Is he unable to guess or has no interest in engineering?

Zhao Xi, who couldn't figure out Jiang Heng, quickly gave up thinking, it was too much brain work, anyway, as long as his life safety was guaranteed, Jiang Heng could deal with him.

Zhao Xi laughed and said that he would not disturb Jiang Heng's peace, and left with his secretary.

Jiang Heng left the smoking area, didn't go back to the box, went straight to the lobby downstairs, and received a call from his assistant: "Boss, don't tell me that you ran away in the middle of the cooperation negotiation."

"You are in charge of the negotiation, and I will sign in the end. It doesn't matter if I'm here or not." Jiang Heng went to the hotel's main square. The street lights were bright, the city's neon lights were colorful, and the starry sky was so black that it turned blue. "The cooperation will be done tonight."

The assistant complained: "That would have to make some profit on the basis of the original profit, and it would be a loss."

What kind of loss is it to eat less profit?

Jiang Heng didn't bother to respond to his assistant's dissatisfaction, so he turned around and walked towards the subway entrance. When he passed the red street light, he turned his head to look at the original box.

You don't need to guess to know that the two figures are Huo Wenying and Cheng Bei.

***

In the living room of the apartment in Dongcheng District, Li Zan typed on the keyboard impatiently and with difficulty.

Jiang Heng sat cross-legged on the sofa, swiping the tablet boredly, and the sound effects of the game played from time to time, adding to the impatience in Li Zan's heart.

"Can you be quiet?" Li Zan finally couldn't help but ask.

Jiang Heng didn't raise his eyes: "You have a bit of a temper, what are you busy with?"

Li Zan grabbed the silver-plated lighter on the table and threw it back at Jiang Heng, and then took a mint-flavored candy from the glass bowl next to him and threw it into his mouth, chewing vigorously, and recounted the content of his question from Yu Hongying.

"To put it simply, it is still related to the Qingshan Hongguan case."

"It's deeply involved, there are few clues, and the previous files can't be used. Some breakthroughs made before may need to be re-examined, and some may even be abolished, such as Zheng Xi's line."

Jiang Heng put down his balance, leaned over, put his chin on Li Zan's shoulder, looked at the analysis on his computer, and said: "The case seems to be complicated, but in fact it all comes from the same source. There are two lines. One is Xiang Changrong and Lin Chengtao's. Death, one is the behind-the-scenes culprit represented by Yu Hongying, the owner of the Red Pavilion."

"If Xiang Changrong and Lin Chengtao were murdered for revenge, then the murderer was Party A, and the owner of the Red House was Party B. What they have in common is the Red House. Among the clues we have so far, there is another one that has not been placed A small red pavilion on the bright side."

"You mean the St. Mary's Church."

"'Cheng' with the same surname Cheng Wanke, the same badge format, charity is sometimes easily manipulated into a gray area, a church for orphans, very similar, isn't it?"

Jiang Heng continued: "Party A may have something to do with Xiaohongguan, and the avengers, the reasons for revenge, and Qingshanhongguan have a certain relationship. There is no doubt about it. If you follow this direction, you will be able to find out.

The second is side B, you sort it out very clearly, as long as you find the 'tiger' you can solve all the mysteries. "

"The key point is that this 'tiger' has no clues."

"Then start investigating why Yu Hongying was warned."

"Go back to the origin?"

Jiang Heng pointed to the name circled in the corner of the screen with his index finger, and Li Zan looked strange: "Lou Ji?"

"The killer described by Yu Hongying is very similar to Lou Ji."

"indeed."

"You saw Lou Ji in the house where Cheng Nan and Wu Yongwang committed suicide."

"so?"

"Have you ever thought that when Lin Chengtao was killed, he was also at the scene?" Jiang Heng turned to the autopsy report on the previous page and said, "One of Lin Chengtao's bodyguards was shot in the eyebrow, which is completely different from Lin Chengtao's throat-slitting method. Maybe from two murderers."

"You mean that Lou Ji participated in the deaths of Xiang Changrong and Lin Chengtao respectively. If there was no third party, the two would have been attacked and warned like Yu Hongying, explaining what they had done to anger the boss of the Red Pavilion, but Yu Hong Ying once participated in the Qingshan Red Pavilion, and the murderer also included her name in the revenge list, she was not completely out of danger, as for Lou Ji..."

Jiang Heng inappropriately remembered a certain truth that Lou Ji told him under the big tree in the Kangbo camp in the Golden Triangle, about the real culprit who killed his parents and teammates.

"Maybe they are running dogs who work for the big boss behind the Red Pavilion, or maybe they are just simple mercenaries."
