Chapter 228: Relevance
Song then planned to go to Tang's mother to ask after work, so there was no need to go again. Not only does she not have to go again this time, but in order to avoid suspicion in the future, she will only have fewer and fewer times in the past.
She couldn't do anything in the afternoon, and when it was time to get off work, Peng Xi pulled her off work on time, and then went out to do something.
In the past, the two of them would drink some alcohol together, but now she has not drunk a single drop. Peng Xi drank a lot, but he wasn't drunk.
Probably because she was afraid that Song Yu would be sad, she never mentioned Tang Xu's remarriage, and she made some mess. The two sat outside until ten o'clock, and then they went home.
The room was eerily quiet, and she thought she would be unable to drink if she was alone, but she didn't. She also didn't touch a drop of wine, didn't turn on the light, just sat on the sofa in the living room.
It seems that there are many things in my head, but it seems to be empty. She was so tired that she got up and went back to her room, and lay down on the bed. She didn't even know how she slept through it.
When Song Yu woke up the next morning, it was no doubt that it was normal, because it was a weekend, and he didn't have to go to work. In the past, she would clean at home, but today she doesn't. She toasted two loaves of bread haphazardly, drank a glass of milk, and went out.
It's been busy these days, and she couldn't go to the mahjong parlor where the man who committed suicide frequented, so she took advantage of the time to go over today.
I thought it was still early before the mahjong parlor opened, but in the past, I found that the mahjong parlor here was very large. Although it was early in the morning, there were still several tables of people. At first glance, I knew that it should have stayed up all night.
It seemed that no one cared about her here, and no one stopped her when she went in, and no one asked anything. She looked around quietly, and then pretended to be interested, and watched others play mahjong.
The people who stayed up all night had not dispersed, and three or three more people came. There are young people, and there are old men and old ladies. She saw that it was conspicuous, so she accosted the aunt and uncle who came in. There was just a shortage of people, and she went to the table.
There are probably people who come here often, and no one asks anything when they see unfamiliar faces. After playing a few games and getting a little familiar, someone asked if she had never seen her and asked if she had just moved in.
Song Yu replied with a smile that he said yes, and then pretended to inquire about the mahjong parlor inadvertently.
This mahjong parlor is not refused, and the uncle and aunt do not have much time to play. But there are also people who play big, and those who play particularly big are arranged upstairs, and I heard that there can be someone to accompany them.
Song was a little surprised, made a look of having never seen it, and asked what to do if he played too much and lost too much debt.
Uncle and aunt said that the boss here is very generous, as long as he is not a person he doesn't know at all, it is very easy to borrow money from here. Acquaintances will not charge interest if they borrow once or twice. There are often gamblers who lose too much and borrow money here. The boss almost didn't refuse to come.
Song Yu pretended to inadvertently inquire about who the boss here was, it is said that the boss here hardly appears, and the mahjong parlor is managed by someone. Everyone calls the manager Brother Li.
Song Yu asked again at this time, pretending to be curious, what to do if he lost too much and couldn't afford to pay off his debts. At this time, the uncle and aunt said that Brother Li has a very large network, and he knows people on the road, and if he encounters someone who does not repay the debt, someone will come to the door to collect the money. It is not clear what exactly they will use to urge them.
Song Yu didn't dare to ask too many questions for fear of attracting attention, and paid attention to the people coming in and out while playing cards.
She's half-hearted, she hasn't won much, she loses all the time. Now the uncle and aunt treated her even more enthusiastically, and even asked her if she had a partner.
Song Yu stayed in the mahjong parlor all day, she kept losing, but fortunately, she didn't play much, and she didn't lose much. She had intended to leave after dark, but the people at night were obviously more thankful than during the day, so she did not go any further, but continued to sit.
At about ten o'clock in the evening, she got up and went to the bathroom, and when she returned, she saw a man in a peaked cap coming in from outside.
The brim of the man's hat was low, and he should be very familiar with this place, and as soon as he entered, he went straight to the staircase, and went straight upstairs.
Although Song Yu didn't see the man's face, the figure was extremely familiar, and she couldn't remember where she had seen it for a while.
The man walked quickly, and the figure quickly disappeared into the stairwell. Song Yu originally wanted to follow the past, but there were many people here, and it was hard to guarantee that no one would notice. She put down the thought of going with her, and went back to the table and sat down. Then I asked a few players about the person who went upstairs just now.
Although anyone can enter downstairs and no one cares, upstairs is different. She asked at noon that the staircase was guarded and that only guests who had a big game could go up.
They had a good view from here, just enough to see the stairs. Someone noticed the person who went up just now, and now he said that the person was Brother Li who was in charge of this side. He smiled and said that people are very low-key, and he can see that people are people who eat both black and white.
The mahjong parlor here has been around for several years, and many places will be checked every once in that long period, but this is not the case, and almost no one comes to check it. When encountering a crackdown, this side will get the news in advance, and just close the door and play. The rest of the time the door was always open, and no one had ever come to check on it.
This is enough to prove that Brother Li is indeed black and white. Song Yu made a curious appearance and wanted to inquire about the background of that Brother Li, but the card players knew very little, only that he was very related. I don't know anything about his personal background.
I have to say that this person is submerged. But the more careful you are, the more ghosts you have. If it's just an ordinary mahjong parlor, you don't need to be so careful at all.
Song Yu had a plan in his heart, and left before that Brother Li came out, using the excuse that he was tired from playing all day and wanted to eat.
Outside, she didn't leave. There are several restaurants here because of the entry and exit of mahjong parlors, although it is not early, but the door is still open. It looks like it's going to be open until late every day.
She found a shop where she could see the mahjong parlor, and then asked the owner to cook a bowl of noodles. She originally planned to spend it here slowly, but before she finished eating a bowl of noodles, that Brother Li came out of the mahjong parlor.
He came alone, but when he came out, he was followed. The two didn't know what to talk about, and they talked at the door. It's just that the brim of his hat is still very low, and he can't see his face clearly at all.
He had said a few words to the man before leaving, heading for the side of the road. Song Yu also settled the account and walked to the side of the road.
He was picked up and dropped off by someone, and when he got to the side of the road, he opened the door of a car and sat in. Song Yu originally wanted to follow, but it was too late to stop the car, so he had to watch the car drive away.
Since the person had left, she didn't go back to the mahjong parlor, so she stopped a taxi on the side of the road. Although it was in the same direction, the shadow of the car that Brother Li was sitting in had long disappeared in front of him. It was so far away that she couldn't even write down the license plate.
This trip is not completely fruitless, at least I know that this mahjong parlor is not a simple mahjong parlor.
Song Yu thought of Brother Li, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that the figure was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it at all. She reached out and rubbed her brow vigorously.
The more she thought about it, the more she couldn't think of anything, she didn't think about it anymore, and looked outside after shaking her head.
At this time, it was already past eleven o'clock, and the noisy city during the day had gradually quieted down. There were fewer people on both sides of the road.
Song Yu looked at it and was stunned. I didn't think about it outside this day, but at this time, I suddenly remembered Tang Xulai again. A tingling sensation spread, and she closed her eyes, restrained herself from thinking about anything.
When I returned to the rented community, it should have been half past eleven, and when I got out of the car and was about to enter, the uncle who guarded the door shouted: "Xiao Song, someone is looking for you." People have been waiting for a long time. ”
Song was surprised and looked at the uncle. A man in a suit quickly walked over, saw Song Yu politely called Miss Song, and then handed over the gilded invitation, and said politely: "Fourth Miss asked me to give Miss Song an invitation card to come over, and please come when you come." ”
The fourth lady he said in his mouth, who else could there be besides Kong Fan.
Song Yu's body stiffened, and it took a while before he took the invitation and nodded in response.
The man waited here for a long time just to deliver the invitation, and after the task was completed, he left without even being polite.
But the doorman came over and asked strangely, "This person came here to send you an invitation?"
He'd seen it from the sidelines.
Song Yu nodded and squeezed out a smile.
The uncle then said: "He is really strange enough, I asked him to put things here and he refused." I thought I was afraid of sending you something valuable. But just an invitation, who wants this thing?"
He wondered.
Song Yu just smiled and didn't speak, that person had to wait for her here, I am afraid that he was ordered by Kong Fan, and he must be sent to her. How dare he put something right here?
She didn't receive an invitation from Kong Fan in the office, and she originally thought that she wouldn't give it to her. I didn't expect her to give it alone. She wasn't afraid to see her at the wedding.
Song Yu didn't open the invitation, and put it at the entrance after returning home. Inexplicably, she felt that the room was very quiet, so she turned on the TV and turned on the sound to the maximum, as if it would be lively.
After sitting in the mahjong parlor for a day, there was a smell of smoke on her body, and she quickly went into the bathroom to wash. came out and looked at the red gilded invitation from a distance, but finally walked over, took the invitation in his hand, and then sat on the sofa.
As if she didn't have the courage, it took her a long time to open it. The eye fell on the date of the wedding. The wedding was only a month away, and it seems that preparations should have started a long time ago.
The Kong family only has such a daughter, so naturally they will not let her marry perfunctorily. Whether it is a wedding dress or other details, I am afraid that the best should be used, how can it be perfunctory in a hurry.
Song Yu only glanced at it and put the invitation aside, and then started to be stunned.
The TV is playing local news, which should be replayed, talking about the major leaders above patrolling the countryside. Among the people who patrolled, there was Tang Chengen.
No, he should be the leader. A group of people followed. Although the Tang family was defeated, he was still thriving in his career.
Song Yu didn't expect it before, but at this moment, somehow, she suddenly remembered the photo she had taken before.
Tang Chengen used to be very nervous, and even killed someone for that photo. This is enough to prove that the photo she took is important to him. Then why, obviously Tang Xu had a photo in his hand, but he didn't take it out?
Tang Chengen was dismissed from the investigation some time ago, if he took out the photo, even if he couldn't bring him down, I'm afraid he wouldn't be so quick to get back into the picture.
Song had never thought about this, and now that he thought about it, the doubts in his heart became bigger and bigger. But Tang Xu has always been incomprehensible to do things, he didn't take it out, there should be a reason why he didn't take it out.
Song Yu didn't think about it anymore. She took a deep breath, she was going to find the remote control and turn off the TV to rest, but as soon as she stood up, the photo she took suddenly flashed in her mind.
She walked quickly to the side and turned on the computer that was on the other side.
I don't usually feel that the computer boots up slowly, but now I feel that it is extremely slow. She stared at the screen without moving. As soon as she turned on the computer, she immediately picked up the mouse and went to find the photo she had stored on the computer.
She encrypted the photo, entered the password and opened it, and the photo appeared in front of her. She felt that Brother Li was familiar, and that person was not the person she photographed who traded with Tang Chengen.
Even though you can't see the face much in the photo, the figure is exactly the same.
Song Yu took a breath and stared at the screen motionlessly. She originally felt that the mahjong parlor was not simple, but now she is more sure that there must be something wrong with the mahjong parlor.
She wanted to calm herself down, but she couldn't calm down for a while. Her mind was a mess, and she couldn't figure it out at all.
She forced herself to calm down, but she couldn't calm down. She shook her head vigorously, turned off the computer, and walked over to the couch and sat down.
Her mind was so chaotic that she forced herself not to think about it, closed her eyes and sat quietly. There was something in her head that wanted to be strung together, but she couldn't hold on to it.
The news had finished airing, and the commercials were already playing on the TV, and she leaned back on the sofa with her hands on her eyebrows, her eyes closed.
Her mind didn't seem to be working well tonight, so she took another deep breath and went to the bathroom to wash her face. When I came out, I turned off the TV and went back to my room to lie down. Quietly sorting out the messy brain.
There are too few clues in her hands, although she knows that Brother Li has a relationship with Tang Chengen, but she doesn't know at all whether the case of the child's disappearance is related to Tang Chengen. If so, what role does he play?
There is no answer to all this, and the only way to know the answer is to start with Brother Li. Although there is no definite evidence, his suspicion is the greatest.
If this matter really has something to do with him, as long as you follow him, he will show his feet sooner or later.
Song Yu's chaotic mind gradually calmed down, although she didn't move much, but she unconsciously broke out in a cold sweat.
She let out a soft breath and closed her eyes, planning to continue to the mahjong parlor tomorrow.
Although her brain no longer looked like a mess, she couldn't sleep. I simply got up from the bed again, went out and stood up on the balcony.
A gentle breeze blew through her hair. She inhaled deeply.
She didn't think about the mess anymore, and after standing on the balcony for a while, she went back to bed and lay down.
She still couldn't sleep, and she didn't know why she remembered the gilded invitation again. She didn't know if Kong Fan sent her an invitation, if Tang Xu knew. Still, this in itself is what he promised.
Whether he knew it or not, there was nothing in the past. Since people even sent invitations, they couldn't help but let her go.
Song Yu closed his eyes tightly.
She got up early the next day and got up early. She wanted to go to the mahjong parlor so early, but in the end she didn't go that early.
There weren't many people at this time, and she would have attracted attention if she had passed so early.
Song planned to go over at noon, but before she could go, Tang's mother's aunt called and said that Tang's mother missed her and asked her to go over for dinner.
Song Yu originally wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back. I asked my aunt if she had anything to buy, and she bought it and brought it with her.
The aunt said that Mother Tang wanted to eat the more famous pastry in the city yesterday, and asked Song Yu to bring it over if it was convenient.
Song Yu responded, and after going out, he went to line up to buy pastries first, and then passed.
There were only two people in the family, Tang's mother and aunt, and Tang Xu was not there. With only a month to get married, he must be busy, how can he be at home.
Tang's mother and aunt didn't seem to know about his marriage, and no one mentioned it.
Probably because of the warm weather, Tang's mother's complexion was much better. Probably to find something for her to do, Song Yu was arranging flowers when she passed, and when she saw her, he called her over and taught her.
Warmth is what she taught, and she whispered softly about what to pay attention to and how to match. Although Song Yu followed along, he couldn't help but fall into a trance. She came to her senses when she knew she called her.
Tang Mu had already stopped what she was doing, looked at her, and asked, "Is there something wrong?"
Song Yu smiled slightly, shook his head, and said, "No." ”
She avoided Tang's mother's gaze and picked up the flower branch from the ground.
She didn't say anything about Mother Tang and didn't ask any more, until she inserted the cut flower branches into the bottle and put down the scissors in her hand, then she asked, "Ah Xu and Ah Yao are very busy, do you know what they have been busy with recently?"
Tang Yao's accident is still hidden from her. Song Yu didn't know if she noticed something, and her body stiffened slightly.
