Thousands of Hours Chapter 9 The Blacksmith's Past
For the rest of his life, the blacksmith was half-fooled and half-seriously pushed Gao Jian's car, and by the way, he stuffed it into the car with a thin two-page paper that had just been printed out of the blacksmith's computer.
Gao Jian drove by himself, it was a brand-new high-end sedan, the body was polished, and there was a faint smell of perfume in the car, mixed with the smell of leather seats, which smelled very good.
Yu Sheng sat in the back seat, a little restrained at first, but soon after Gao Jian's car started, he had sunk himself deep into the soft seat.
Feeling the comfort in every contact area of the body, I couldn't help but fall into fantasy for the rest of my life.
Maybe in another future, a future where parents are not divorced, Yu Ye is not dead, and the family is not changed. In the future, he may also have a successful career like Gao Jian, he will drive a luxury car, and his parents may be sitting in the back seat, or his wife and children.
It's a pity that this kind of future is no longer possible for him.
Gao Jian concentrated on driving, and did not pay attention to the state of the rest of his life, and even if he did, he was not prepared to leave time for the rest of his life to be sad.
"That's the information that Lao Yuan gave you, it's the two pages next to your seat, hurry up and take a look. Gao Jian's face was a little ugly, Lao Yuan agreed to help, but he didn't follow in person, but instead pushed the service of the coffee shop on the first floor just now.
Yuan Tiexuan's irresponsible approach Gao Jian learned a lot ten years ago, he couldn't bear it ten years ago, and he can't accept it now.
Yu Sheng came back to his senses and smiled a little awkwardly, and the blacksmith inexplicably pushed him into Gao Jian's car, leaving only two pages of paper, and he didn't even say a word of explanation.
The rest of his life is not stupid, he can't see Gao Jian's expression, but he can hear the other party's dissatisfaction from Gao Jian's tone.
After a little thought, Yu Sheng probably guessed the reason why Gao Jian's tone was wrong. Yu Sheng felt embarrassed and a little helpless, he must have secretly complained about the blacksmith in his heart, but he couldn't say it, he only followed Gao Jian's instructions, obediently looked down at the commission.
While looking at the car, Gao Jian roughly introduced the entrusted situation to Yu Sheng, of course he was still dissatisfied with Lao Yuan, but he adjusted his mentality almost immediately. As one of the most successful private investigators in the empire, he has experienced as many bad things as he wants, and adjusting his mentality at any time is already his basic skill.
While listening to Gao Jian's narration, Yu Sheng held the paper materials and read them carefully from the beginning.
The story itself is extremely simple and straightforward, the son of a rich man died in a bar, but the cause and circumstances of this unmistakable result are puzzling.
The corpse in the photo seems to have been kneaded into a ball of flesh by some giant, which is so horrific that even if you haven't seen many tragic scenes in your life, you can see the strangeness in it.
No wonder the blacksmith pushed him to follow this Mr. Gao to handle the commission together, and when he saw the two photos in his hand, he was somewhat clear in his heart for the rest of his life.
The blacksmith must have suspected that this strange state of death, which obviously does not belong to normal people's cognition, is related to the one who is also a god.
Yu Sheng stared at the tragic condition of the corpse in the photo, and fell into deep thought.
When Yu Sheng was silent, Gao Jian, who was sitting in the front seat, was secretly observing Yu Sheng through the rearview mirror in the car.
Lao Yuan said that this young man named Yu Sheng could help him, Gao Jian actually had some doubts, he once thought that this was an excuse that the guy was unwilling to make a move.
But the performance of the rest of his life at this time made Gao Jiangao take a look. Although the two photos are not exhaustive, they are clear enough, and the young man does not change his face when he sees the corpse in the photo, which does seem to be a little different from ordinary people.
Gao Jian was thinking wildly, and the rest of his life finally came back to his senses from his contemplation.
"Mr. Gao, where are we going?" asked Yu Sheng, looking at the roadside scenery outside the window that was receding backwards.
"The scene of the crime, see if there are any clues that can be found. Gao Jian is not familiar with the roads in the 6th district, and he always pays attention to the roadside signs, so he can't increase his speed at all.
Yu Sheng looked out the window again, and before he knew it, they had come to the commercial center of the sixth district, and the road was full of traffic, but Gao Jian's luxury car was very well insulated, and Yu Sheng could only faintly hear a muffled noise, as if a pair of gentle hands were covering his ears and caressing slowly.
Gao Jian has been observing the rest of his life through the rearview mirror, in addition to his dissatisfaction with the blacksmith's irresponsible attitude, he also has a curiosity about the young man behind him, and because of his profession, Gao Jian tried to find the reason why the blacksmith recommended the rest of his life through his own observation, if it really existed.
The performance of the rest of his life at this time gave him a strange feeling, the kind of confusion that was suddenly separated from the world, Gao Jian seemed to be familiar.
The car drove out for a while, and Gao Jian suddenly remembered in his heart, and he finally remembered that the expression on the face of the young man behind him had seen on the faces of the prisoners who had just stepped out of the prison gate after their release.
Why did this expression appear on the face of an ordinary and ordinary young man, Gao Jian found that he was aroused a little curious.
"You work at the coffee shop on the first floor?" Gao Jian asked.
"Yes, clerk. Yu Sheng pulled his eyes out of the window and smiled, "Actually, I'm not the only one in the coffee shop, but everyone else is lazy today, and you didn't see it." ”
"How long have you been here?" Gao Jian slowly drove over a shock absorbing belt, trying to make himself as casual as possible.
Yu Sheng thought for a while, "More than three months, almost four months." ”
"Look at you, you don't usually go out. Gao Jian smiled.
Yu Sheng rubbed his nose, "Ah, a few times." "The loiterer's outing, of course, is also considered to be out.
"You and Lao Yuan...... How long have you known each other?" Gao Jian asked casually, glancing at Yu Sheng.
He ...... I met him when I came to the coffee shop," I thought about it for the rest of my life, "or I came to work at the coffee shop when I met him." ”
"It's not been long, but it looks like you're on good terms. Gao Jian said.
Yu Sheng smiled, "You must have a very close relationship with him, I have been here for a few months, and it is the first time I have seen him have a friend visit." ”
"yes, this guy isn't afraid of loneliness. As for our relationship...... Of course it's close," Gao Jian's face flashed with remembrance, "We've been the best partners ever." ”
"Best partner?" Gao Jian's words aroused the curiosity of the rest of his life, "He said, you are his former colleague. ”
"That's right, to be exact, he's half my master. Gao Jian smiled, "I can't have today's results without him." ”
"I want to hear about it. "The rest of his life puts on the appearance of listening to stories honestly," in the store, he only talks about his vicissitudes, but rarely tells his story in detail. ”
"Haha, everyone has a story, as for Lao Yuan's, in detail, in fact, what I know is not complete. Gao Jian spoke as he walked slowly along the road signs, without delay.
"I met Lao Yuan thirteen years ago, of course, he was younger and more handsome than he is now, I know he has a wife and daughter, but I have never seen him. Gao Jian said slowly, his voice as slow as his speed.
"Wife and daughter......" Yu Sheng recalled the blacksmith who fell into Fang Zhuge's illusion, and it was them that he was reading at that time.
"At that time, as he is now, he opened a detective agency, and I was his first employee. The two of us worked together, and with a bit of luck, the detective agency closed a few big commissions. We're getting better and better in the industry, we're charging more and more, we're getting more and more employees, everything is on track, and I've gone from being the first employee to being the second largest partner in the detective agency. But one day ten years ago, this guy suddenly withdrew from the cooperation, left a contract, ceded all the power to me, and then disappeared without a trace, not even to see me for the last time. Gao Jian's voice was calm, but the last sentence was clearly angry at the once close friend who suddenly said goodbye.
"Ten years ago......" Rest of the Life repeated in a low voice, when the Wanderer was defeated by the Child of Light who first appeared in the world.
"In this way, while looking for Lao Yuan, I continued to take care of the detective agency. It's a shame to say, our detective agency is known as the first in the fourth district, but we can't find the whereabouts of the founder, and gradually I gave up. It wasn't until three years after Yuan disappeared that I received a text message with the address of the coffee shop and a quote from Yuan that I should not pronounce it. Gao Jian's voice finally changed, "Phew, who will read him?" Although I know where he is, I am still angry with him for not saying goodbye, and I am too lazy to look for him until today. ”
Three years ago, the blacksmith and the store manager reorganized the wanderer, and it was when the coffee shop opened.
Yu Sheng nodded slowly.
"As for what happened to these old Yuans, why did he disappear back then," Gao Jian still looked at the road, but Mojo asked, "Do you know anything about Xiaoyu?"
Yu Sheng blinked, and after a moment said, "I met him three months ago, so I don't know anything. ”
Gao Jian took a deep look at Yu Sheng through the rearview mirror, and an expression that seemed to be a smile appeared on his face.
