Chapter 279: Stand-in
Six hours ago
Ms. Tao looked very uncomfortable in front of a room full of strangers, not to mention that the room was messy, she was still wearing ordinary home pajamas, and there was indescribable embarrassment on her face.
She wanted to search for information about these people in her mind, but in the current situation, where is there still state thinking, her brain is directly blank, and after repeated "restart" failures, she can only accept her fate, sitting on the chair stiffly, like a primary school student who has just entered the school.
"What the hell are you trying to do with me......" she asked tentatively, looking back on the few minutes she had just experienced, it was like a dream.
She got up and freshened up as usual, and before she had time to put on makeup, she heard a few slightly irritable knocks outside the door, thinking that it was the crazy woman downstairs who came up to find fault, so she planned to send the other party away quickly, but who knew that as soon as she opened the door, she saw five or six tall men standing outside, and without saying a word, she squeezed into her house, which made her a little frightened.
The man at the head is about thirty years old, although he is wearing a suit and leather shoes, but his body reveals an indescribable "Jianghu atmosphere", at first glance it is not a good class, Ms. Tao is afraid, I don't know if it will be someone who is here to seek revenge, and is about to find a way to slip away, but was forced by one of the other people to sit down on a chair and look at the man who is the leader.
"Don't be nervous, my name is Chen Zirong, I don't have any malicious intent, I just want to ask you about something, answer truthfully, I won't do anything. ”
The man in the lead introduced himself, crossing Jiro's legs and crossing his hands on his knees, knowing that the conversation might not end peacefully, but still trying to maintain his graceful demeanor.
Chan Tsz Wing......
Ms. Tao repeatedly muttered in her heart, this name sounded familiar to her, if she remembered correctly, the other party should be the Cheng family, but how could she, a liaison who has cooperated with the Qi family all year round, be targeted by the Cheng family......
"Then I don't know what Mr. Chen is trying to ask? If I know, I must tell the truth. She thought that she couldn't go against the other party no matter what, she couldn't beat so many people.
"Actually, it's not a big deal, I investigated that nearly a year ago, the Qi family approached you and wanted to give you a task, but you shirked it, I want to know, what kind of task is it. ”
Chen Zirong smiled and took out a box of cigarettes, took out one and handed it to Ms. Tao, she was calm on the surface, but the hand that took the cigarette was trembling.
She immediately understood the other party's intention to come here, thinking that it would be difficult to pass today, and whether she said it or not might endanger her life, the difference was only in whose hands she died.
"What are you talking about, I don't understand. "She tried to get by, but it didn't work.
"You don't need to pretend to be stupid, since I'm here, I already have enough evidence, and I don't want to take any coercive measures today, but this premise is based on your cooperation with me. ”
Chen Zirong was full of threats in a few words, he originally planned to take people directly to the underground of Lanxi Bay, but when he saw those torture instruments, it was estimated that no matter how tough people were, they would be so frightened that they would summon all the words in their hearts, and it would save him from wasting his tongue here.
But this time he can't do this, such a big fanfare will inevitably alarm Cheng Yunxiao, his investigation is estimated to not only be stopped, but also held accountable, so all his activities from beginning to end are carried out in secret, and the subordinates who follow him are all carefully selected, and they are basically sure that they will not betray him.
As the investigation gradually deepened, he felt more and more that Cheng Yunxiao had a lot of things to hide from them, and the decisions he made began to run counter to the original interests of the Cheng family.
He knows that the original cause of all the problems is definitely Cheng Yunxiong, this man he understands, even if he hates the dirty deeds of the family, but he is unconditionally good to his family, but now it seems that whether it is Cheng Hongzhi's sudden critical illness or the current Cheng Yunxiao is in crisis, the other party chooses not to show up at all, which may be reasonable, but it is absolutely unreasonable.
So his first task now is to find Cheng Yunxiong, in order to reveal Cheng Yunxiao's true face, although the investigation process is very difficult, but he still found the clue of Ms. Tao from the clues, but unfortunately he doesn't know enough yet, so this time I have to ask in person.
"If I knew, I'd definitely cooperate...... But there are many things I don't know, so don't embarrass me. Ms. Tao smiled reluctantly, praying that someone would come to her rescue.
Chen Zirong is not annoyed, he knows that this building is generally soundproof, although normal speech will not be heard, but yelling will inevitably reach the ears of neighbors, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, or persuasion, or do not use violence until necessary.
Besides, he had done a good job of investigation before he came, and Ms. Tao would be moved.
"Well, since you don't want to talk about that, let's talk about something else. ”
Chen Zirong's change of topic caught Ms. Tao off guard, and when she wondered what the other party would say, the other party had already slowly spoken.
"Although everyone calls you 'Ms. Tao' when you work, your real name should be Tao Shu, ......right? You also have a sister named ...... Tao Zi: I'm right. ”
Ms. Tao was slightly stunned, she didn't expect the other party to say these words that had nothing to do with the topic just now, but she still forced a smile and nodded:
"That's true, but what exactly are you trying to say?"
Chen Zirong motioned to Ms. Tao not to interject and continued to tell the story of the year.
"At the beginning, the boss of the largest gang in L City was framed and imprisoned, during which in addition to the rapid development of Cheng Hongzhi and Qi Xianwei, who carved up the family, those small gangs that were originally not in the stream also shared some resources and began to grow gradually, and the leader of them was a family surnamed Lin, the eldest wife of the family died early, and he brought a son who was only five or six years younger than you, and after seeing you, he was quickly attracted by your beauty and temperament, and used some coercive means to kidnap you who were still in college and became a wife. ”
Seeing that Ms. Tao's face turned a little blue, Chen Zirong pretended to ignore it and continued.
"At first, you have been resisting, but the man surnamed Lin has a deep affection for you, and gradually you also have feelings for him, plus the raw rice has long been cooked into cooked rice, and simply accepted the life at that time, that man treats you well, and even the family affairs will be handed over to you to take care of, and within half a year, you will become exquisite, and your superb social skills are all admired. ”
"It seems that you really put a lot of effort into investigating me. ”
Ms. Tao didn't want to listen any more and tried to change the subject, but the other party didn't care at all and continued.
However, Qi Xianwei was very ambitious at that time, and he would definitely not allow other small families to develop, so he thought of a way to try to annex the Lin family to the Qi family...... promised a lot of benefits to your husband, but he was unmoved, thinking about it, the family is developing so fast, how can he give up and be willing to be a subordinate. ”
Ms. Tao really wanted to escape from here, and Chen Zirong shook out all the things she didn't want to face.
"However, in the face of a stubborn person like your husband, Qi Xianwei finally came up with countermeasures and hired someone to simply get rid of dissidents like you, but there was an oolong at that time, your husband was killed and died, but the killer should have killed you together, but because you and Tao Zichang were too similar, so that in the end they killed your sister by mistake, and the Qi family was afraid that making another move would arouse the suspicion of others, so you survived by luck. ”
"It's all old things, so don't mention it. ”
Ms. Tao's face was already very ugly, and her mood became extremely low, seeing that Chen Zirong still wanted to speak, she simply continued to tell the story herself.
"There is an end to this matter, Qi Xianwei deceived my husband's son Lin Ruimin and arranged him into the Qi family to do a not low position, and although I am sad, but thinking about it, it seems that this relationship was wrong from the beginning, my husband He is clearly a bastard, abducted me who was young and ignorant, I don't need to be sad for such a person, so I gathered those who did not enter the Qi family with Lin Ruimin, and started to act as a killer liaison. ”
She paused for a moment to ease her mood, and only added the last sentence after a long time,
"But so what, it's been so many years. ”
"But herein lies the problem. Chen Zirong smiled, his eyes were a little bottomless, "Since you know these things, then you should hate the Qi family very much." ”
"I just explained, I don't love my husband so much, and the killing of him by the Qi family has no effect on me, besides, even if there is, it has long since faded over the years. ”
"I'm not referring to your husband, you won't forget, Tao Zi was also killed, can I? I can believe that you don't love that man, but I won't believe that you don't care about your sister. ”
Ms. Tao choked on a sentence and didn't know how to answer.
"Oh yes, I heard that your husband entrusted you with a sum of money before he died, and he hid it in the early years, do you remember that?"
Chen Zirong shook the ash of his cigarette, his eyes kept staring at the expression on Ms. Tao's face to capture every subtle change in her, and saw a trace of doubt on her face for a moment, and then immediately returned to normal and replied.
"Yes, there is. ”
"But I went to investigate and found that you never took out this money, are you sure you know that it exists?"
Chen Zirong smiled slyly, not knowing what was going on in his heart.
"What do you care so much about! That's all my business. Ms. Tao said angrily, completely unaware of what the other party was thinking.
"Do you tell me where the money is?"
"What's the matter with you?"
"What's the hurry, I don't think you know about this at all, right?" Chen Zirong had foreshadowed so many words before, just waiting for the showdown at this moment, "I'll tell you honestly, I made this matter up." ”
"Huh?" Ms. Tao's face turned pale all of a sudden, as if she knew the intention of Chen Zirong's words.
Seeing her shocked appearance, the other party stood up, detoured behind her, and whispered in her ear,
"The killer didn't kill the wrong person back then, my sister just came to my sister's house to play during the holidays, but I accidentally caught up with the killer to commit the murder, my sister was killed in front of my sister like this, and she couldn't do anything but hide in the cabinet and watch, and when everything returned to calm, she knew that her sister died unjustly, and vowed to avenge her, and since then she has put on heavy makeup and lived under the name of her sister Tao Shu...... Am I right, Tao Zi?"
As soon as the words came out, the whole house was silent.
Ms. Tao's mouth opened slightly, her teeth trembled and made a subtle clicking sound, her face was bloodless, and her eyes became dull.
She didn't expect Chen Zirong to dig this matter to this depth, and she didn't know whether to be happy or sad that someone had discovered her true identity.
I don't know how long the silence lasted, and the atmosphere was oppressive and almost suffocating,
Suddenly, I only heard a few crisp and sharp phone ringings of "ring-ring-ring-ring-", which broke the deathly silence.
