Chapter 247: Returning in vain

After Bai Shiyao finished speaking, her eyes stared at Li Jing's back, hoping that she would stop. But Li Jing went straight to the door without looking back, and closed the door by the way. Bai Shiyao and Cheng Jue looked at each other, although they knew that it would definitely not go well, but they were still disappointed in the face of Li Jing's resolute refusal.

"If you want me to say, it's not a good idea to talk about it at all, it's better to follow my ideas. Cheng Jue proposed directly.

"What do you think?" Bai Shiyao heard Cheng Jue say for the first time.

Cheng Jue raised his eyebrows and whispered four words: "Coercion and temptation!"

"No! Cheng Jue, how can we do this?" Bai Shiyao immediately refused when she heard this.

Cheng Jue sighed, and he knew that Bai Shiyao wanted to be crooked.

"Not what you think. I mean that she was involved in the case of 'Yaoshi' and did not return to the imperial capital for so many years. To say that the 'Red Spot' is not a trick, I don't believe it. “

Cheng Jue rubbed his chin and squinted his eyes and said: "The means that can be used by the 'red light spot' will definitely not escape the words 'coercion and temptation'. So why don't we start with that. ”

Bai Shiyao seemed to understand what Cheng Jue meant, she frowned and was silent for a few seconds, her eyes lit up, and she looked at Cheng Jue with a happy face.

"I see what you mean. We can first check the situation when Li Jing left, if she received the money, she would definitely go to the bank to withdraw the money, and her account would be recorded. And when they left in a hurry, there must have been something wrong. Check this point as well. ”

Cheng Jue looked at her with a smile, and had to admit that Bai Shiyao was really smart and could understand everything. When Bai Shiyao spoke, her eyes widened slightly, her long eyelashes looked as good as a fan, and the corners of her lips and mouth were slightly upturned. Under the sun, Bai Shiyao's skin is smooth and delicate, and you can still see the fine fluff on it.

Her expression is very vivid, and her hands keep swinging when she speaks, making corresponding movements. Listening to her, it's easy to get hooked.

"Cheng Jue, Cheng Jue?" After Bai Shiyao finished speaking, she found that Cheng Jue was distracted, and stretched out her right hand and shook it in front of his eyes.

"What? I'm sorry I was distracted just now, I've been suffering from insomnia lately, and I'm a little tired. ”

Bai Shiyao saw the dark circles under his eyes and patted him on the shoulder to show understanding.

"What are we going to do next?" Bai Shiyao showed a bright smile.

That smile is like a blooming magnolia, fresh and energetic. A gust of wind blows, bringing a hint of coolness.

Cheng Jue, who found himself distracted again, retracted his gaze in embarrassment. His face was light and breezy, except for his ears, which were slightly flushed. It's a pity that Bai Shiyao's attention is not in it at all, so she didn't find anything strange about Cheng Jue.

"I have a friend who works in the banking system and should be able to get some information. I'll give him a call in a moment and let him see if I can help. In addition, we can find the place where Li Jing lived and ask the neighbors. It's just that it's been so long, I don't know if anyone remembers the situation at that time. ”

"Turn the impossible into an absolute can, I believe that there is no endless way, maybe there will be a clue at any time. Bai Shiyao comforted.

Cheng Jue looked at Bai Shiyao's confident appearance and was also encouraged.

That being said, it's not easy to execute. Bai Shiyao and Cheng Jue decided to leave Li Jing's house first, Cheng Jue first called his friend, and then the two had lunch nearby, and went straight to Li Jing's original residence.

Ten minutes after they left, Li Jing opened the door, looked at the empty courtyard, and sighed. She did participate in the original incident, and this kind of behavior is taboo in the public relations industry. The public relations industry circle in country Z is very small, and once her story gets out, she doesn't want to mix in the public relations industry.

Li Jing's eyes looked at the chair Bai Shiyao had sat on just now, and murmured in a low voice, "Bai Shiyao, I'm sorry." I can't help it. ”

Her mother-in-law's voice came from the kitchen, "Li Jing, call your friend for dinner." ”

"They were in a hurry, so they went back first. ”

Her mother-in-law walked out quickly, looked at the empty yard, and said, "Why did you leave?"

Li Jing stepped forward and hugged her, "Mom, they are also in a hurry." Let's go in first. ”

"Hey, the guests came, and they didn't even let people eat a bite of the food, what kind of words is this. Next time, you invite your friends again. ”

Li Jing said helplessly: "They won't come." ”

Of course, Li Jing didn't know that Bai Shiyao and they left, not to give up, but to find a way to go again.

Bai Shiyao and Cheng Jue first came to Li Jing's place of residence, she originally lived in Liushu Hutong, which is a historic hutong, and the residents in it are all old residents who have lived here for at least thirty or forty years. The willow alley is only about three meters wide, and cars can barely enter, but it can only be used for one way.

Bai Shiyao and Cheng Jue walked in the alley.

"I just checked Li Jing's previous files, and their family lives at No. 23. Cheng Jue looked at the ground of the > Willow Hutong in his hand, because it had been used for too long and there was no maintenance, there were some puddles on the ground. Bai Shiyao and Cheng Jue avoided the puddle and walked forward.

"I can't see the house number here, and I don't know which one is number 23. Bai Shiyao was at a loss, looking for the house number on the wall.

Cheng Jue didn't find out, "I don't know, there's an uncle over there who is basking in the heat, or let's ask." ”

Bai Shiyao looked at it, and sure enough, there was an uncle not far in front of him, sitting on a chair, playing opera with a player, babbling and humming.

"Hello, uncle. I won't bother you, which one is the 23rd here?"

Uncle pressed the player's pause button, "What did you say?"

"We want to find No. 23, I don't know which one here is No. 23?" Bai Shiyao asked patiently.

"How many numbers are coming?" the uncle asked again without hearing clearly.

"No. 23, No. 2-3-" Bai Shiyao read word by word.

"Number 23?" the uncle confirmed again.

Cheng Jue was anxious to watch from the sidelines, and Bai Shiyao had this patience.

"That's right!" Bai Shiyao smiled sweetly.

"It's number 15, and it's five houses from here. ”

After Bai Shiyao thanked her, she and Cheng Jue kept moving forward.

"Your patience is so good!" Cheng Jue sighed.

Cheng Jue is an anxious person, he is resolute on weekdays, and he can't see it so slowly. He was uncomfortable with this kind of work that tested his patience.

"I can't talk about patience or impatience, I just think that when we get old in the future, I guess this is the case. Thinking about it like this, the irritable heart calmed down a lot. ”

She didn't think it was a big deal. The so-called patience is nothing more than more empathy than others.

Cheng Jue looked at Bai Shiyao's figure with a pensive expression.

"Here we are, it's number 23. Let's ask the people inside first. ”

Bai Shiyao stretched out her hand and knocked on the wooden door.

"It's coming, it's coming. ”

After a while, the door opened, and an old lady in her seventies poked her head out and looked at them vigilantly, "Who are you looking for?"

Cheng Jue squeezed out a smile that he thought was gentle and harmless, "Auntie, we are from the neighborhood committee and want to know something from you." ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as she finished speaking, the old lady closed the door with a "snap". The ash on the door fell directly on Cheng Jue. The smile on Cheng Jue's face froze directly on his face, completely confused, and he didn't figure out what the situation was at all.

I only heard the old lady's angry voice from behind the door, "You young people are good-natured, if you don't do something serious, you will know that you have come to deceive us old men and old ladies." I'm from the neighborhood committee, why don't I know you. ”

Yes, stealing chickens is not a recipe for rice, I wanted to pretend to be a good question from the neighborhood committee, but who knew that this aunt was actually from the neighborhood committee. It's even harder to check if it's a liar.

Bai Shiyao looked at Cheng Jue's grizzled face and smiled from ear to ear.

Cheng Jue looked at her sadly, while patting the dust and cobwebs on her head, "I'm like this, you still laugh!"

"Haha......" Bai Shiyao couldn't help it, holding her stomach and laughing, "It's so funny, it's the first time I saw you so embarrassed, let you make your own decisions next time." Haha......."

This one didn't succeed, and Bai Shiyao and Cheng Jue began to knock on the doors of several nearby houses again.

Some people don't have anyone in their family, and some people don't remember Li Jing's affairs, and some of them know, but they don't know anything about why Li Jing's family moved away in the first place. After a busy afternoon, I almost finished asking the whole street, but unfortunately there were no useful clues at all.

"Let's think of something else. Li Jing and their family have moved away for three years, who still remembers the original incident. Bai Shiyao reluctantly squeezed out a smile and said to Cheng Jue.

Bai Shiyao was also uncomfortable, and the method she finally came up with, who knew that it would be useless. After three years, can he really wash away the stigma on himself? Sometimes, even Bai Shiyao is a little suspicious, "Bai Xiao" is now developing so well, and he is also well-known in the public relations industry, is it still necessary to be so obsessed with the truth? Anyway, after a long time, everyone will forget about it.

"Cheng Jue, you said that I am so persistent in wanting to wash away the stigma, is it necessary?" Bai Shiyao was really puzzled.

Cheng Jue can also understand her feelings, after all, these difficult days have passed, haven't they? Although he and Bai Shiyao didn't really have much contact, they were once competitors after all, and they were even incompatible for a while. As the saying goes, the people who know you best may be your enemies.

With Cheng Jue's understanding of Bai Shiyao, even if it takes a long time, even if she knows that there is no real meaning in finding innocence except for gaining a false name, she will still do it.

"Since you've been waiting for three years, do you care if you're waiting for a little longer? As long as you don't give up, there are always more solutions than difficulties. In our business, reputation is very important, it is a matter of integrity. ”

"Thank you for your comfort, I feel so much better. ”

After three years of searching, Bai Shiyao was more or less tired. This kind of hopeless investment can easily lead to the idea of giving up. If it weren't for the persistence in her heart, maybe Bai Shiyao would have given up a long time ago.

"Now I just hope your friend can find some clues. ”

"I checked with my friend before I came. The house Li Jing lives in now is in her name, and it is paid in full. Judging by her situation three years ago, there was no way she could have bought this house. Millions, that's not a small amount, so she must have collected the money in the first place. Cheng Jue said his own inference.

Cheng Jue looked at Bai Shiyao's thoughtful appearance, and said: "In fact, with this information, we can also achieve the goal with a little harmless means." ”

Bai Shiyao looked at him in surprise, "Haven't you always been the most opposed to using these small means?"

Cheng Jue shrugged, "It used to be like this, but now I don't think so." How can we repay virtue if we repay our grievances with virtue?"

He may not have done this until he knew about He Ziyun. But now, he is not against it.....
