Chapter 40: The Last Wish

"What the hell is going on?" Liu Ying asked Li Songyuan directly after sitting down.

"I'll tell you the truth, my father, Uncle Gu, and Aunt Jing, the three of them used to know each other very well, and my father and Uncle Gu are the best partners and best brothers in the police force. Uncle Gu asked my father to wait for the case to be closed, and after he resumed his police status, he must help Aunt Jing fulfill his last wish, who knows that it has been more than 20 years since the case was concluded, and it has long been a matter of fact. Since Uncle Gu passed away, Aunt Jing has almost cut off all contact with the outside world and closed herself in her own world. That day, my father saw that you and Aunt Jing had a very close relationship at Uncle Gu's funeral, and learned that we were college alumni, so he specially asked me to come to you, hoping that you could help us in this matter. Li Songyuan looked at Liuying and said seriously.

"I'll tell you the truth, I am not as close to Teacher Jing as you think. The relationship between us may be Party A and Party B in her eyes, the author and the reader, the situation at the funeral that day was really helpless, you have also seen, Teacher Jing alone can not cope with so many guests who come to mourn. ”

Li Songyuan smiled, "But I believe that if it were replaced by someone else, Aunt Jing would definitely not be willing, only because it was you Gu Liuying that she was willing, and don't you think this is fate? It just so happens that you are also surnamed Gu." ”

Liuying lowered her head and was silent for a while, then raised her head and said to Li Songyuan, "Then what kind of help do you want me to provide?"

"Uncle Gu was shot several times at the time, and he went before he could talk about his last wish, my father said that the only person in the world who knew his last wish was Aunt Jing, but Aunt Jing seemed to be very defensive about this matter, no matter how my father asked, she didn't say a word, and my father didn't know where to start. ”

Liuying remembered that when she was in the hospital at that time, she thought that Jing Min was going to commit suicide by jumping off the building, but Jing Min told her something she didn't understand, and she said that she had one more important thing to do and would not seek death. Could it be that the important thing Jing Min said was Gu Xianming's last wish?

"So you want me to help you ask?" asked Hotaru.

"It's not just a direct question, it's just a little bit of a side knock to ask her to reveal a little bit, and of course it would be nice if she could open up to you. ”

"I don't promise I'll be able to help you, but I'll try. ”

Li Songyuan's face was happy and happy, "Thank you so much." ”

"Thank you, no, you don't like me anymore. ”

Li Songyuan, who had just become happy, froze there all of a sudden, and replied in a slightly cold tone: "I'll try my best." ”

Liuying agreed to Li Songyuan's matter, but she didn't know how to do it, she hadn't seen Jing Min since Gu Xianming's funeral, and she didn't know where she was now and what the situation was.

When Shen Qiuzhong learned that Shen Youxia was going to take him to the company, he agreed without saying a word, and went to Shen Youxia's closet to pick up clothes, but due to the height difference between the two people, Shen Qiuzhong cried and told Liu Ying that he might not be born to his parents. Liu Ying said that he was definitely changing the young master of the Shen family as a fake. Shen Qiu laughed again, she didn't understand humor.

"Sister Liuying, do you know why I promised my brother to go to the company to help?" After nightfall, Shen Qiuzhong ran to Liuying's room and asked her mysteriously.

Liuying covered her laptop, "Didn't you just say that you are angry and trying to be a new person to live up to expectations." ”

Shen Qiuzhong stretched out his index finger and made a no gesture in front of Liuying's eyes, "NONONO...... I'm there to spy on him. ”

Liuying patted Shen Qiuzhong's hand and said, "What are your ideas?"

"Since the last time that fierce woman came to our house, my heart is not steady, you said that if my brother really has something unsavory with her, then I can immediately strangle this unsightly deed in the cradle. ”

What did Shen Qiuzhong put in his head all day long? Seeing that he was telling the truth, Liu Ying couldn't help but roar in a low voice: "Shen Qiuzhong, can you use all your thoughts on the right path, since you don't want to go back to school, then go to work, and promise my brother to go to the company to do things, then you can do it well, help him reduce a little burden, don't try to make trouble for your brother all day long." ”

Shen Qiuzhong sighed with a dissatisfied face, "Why did you educate me too?" Otherwise, why don't you let me go." ”

"Do you understand, you two are brothers, I ......" Liuying breathed a sigh of relief, and swallowed back the second half of the words, although she regarded Shen Youxia as her only relative, but the fact is undeniable, Shen Youxia is different from her, he has a complete blood relationship in addition to her, has parents, and a younger brother, she really hopes that Shen Qiuzhong can understand.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, I'll just listen to you. Shen Qiuzhong finally compromised, he was always afraid that Liu Ying would be angry, and he was afraid that she would ignore him.

Shen Qiuzhong still dressed himself up like a dog the next day, and Liuying whispered to him: "It still looks like the young master of the Shen family, remember what you promised me." ”

"I know, you haven't reached menopause yet, so long-winded, who will dare to ask you in the future. Shen Qiuzhong replied impatiently.

Shen Youxia grabbed his collar, "You don't know more and more that the sky is thick, aren't you?"

Shen Qiu sighed heavily and straightened his collar, "I feel that the day when life is worse than death is waiting for me." ”

Liuying's day's work time is wasted on scrolling through web pages and drawing aimlessly, not only for her, but also for all the members of the three groups. In addition to doing these two things, Liuying has been thinking about Li Songyuan's entrustment to her, and after thinking about it, it seems that there is no other way than to call Jing Min directly.

"Do you have time after work today?" text message from Lu Yu, Liu Ying actually didn't understand, why this person always likes to send text messages, isn't WeChat money-saving and convenient?

"Yes. ”

"Then I'll pick you up later and have dinner together. ”

"Good. ”

"There are also Yan Yuanlin and Zuo Yue, they said that the two of us should invite them to dinner. ”

Yan Yuanlin and Zuo Yue, Liuying often heard Lu Yu mention them, they are not only Lu Yu's partners, but also his college classmates, Lu Yu said that it is thanks to the two of them that they are here today.

"Good. Liuying thought for a moment and replied.

The early winter night had fallen unusually early, and a thin layer of mist had already shrouded the river, and the bare treetops shivered in the night wind. Outside the giant glass is one world, and inside is another. The world inside maintains the most comfortable temperature of the human body, the environment is pure and elegant, and the melodious melody slowly flows from the fingertips of the selfless pianist in the center of the restaurant, and various dishes are placed on the table in front of you.

Yan Yuanlin feels a bit like the actor who played Xiang Yu in "The Legend of Chu and Han", with a burly and tall figure, a simple and lovely face, and a faint dimple on the right cheek when he laughs. Zuo Yue is completely different, he belongs to the small jasper type among the boys, sitting with Yan Yuanlin is like Ning Caichen and the old demon of Montenegro, Liuying, who is thinking so in his heart, can't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at?" Lu Yu couldn't help but ask her.

Hotaru winked and smiled and said, "Did I smile?"

"Do you think they look beyond your imagination?"

"Eh, how do you speak. Yan Yuanlin was indignant, and then said with a smile, "The appearance of the two of us really can't be compared with you, after all, we are human beings, you are a beast faction, aren't you Zuo Yue?"

Zuo Yue buried his head in eating, and when he heard that he was named, he said vaguely, "Yes." ”

"Thank you for the compliment, I am more than ten Chang'an Avenues away from Henri Matisse. Lu Yu said lightly, Liu Ying really laughed out loud now, Lu Yu's brain circuit is really incomprehensible to normal people like them, and the representative painters of the Fauvist School have all been brought out by him.

"It's too much to deceive people!" Yan Yuanlin said hatefully, and then turned to Liuying and said, "Gu Liuying, I'll tell you a secret." ”

"Secret?" Liu Ying looked at Yan Yuanlin suspiciously, then pointed at Lu Yu, "His?"

Yan Yuanlin nodded, then raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Do you know that he has a bad habit, that is, he likes to take out his mobile phone to study the number of steps in WeChat when he has nothing to do, which is actually the most normal of his many strange behaviors, he looks at the screen in a daze every time, I thought this was his way of thinking about problems, but, some time ago, I was surprised to find that he was speculating from other people's steps what others did today." ”

"It's none other than Gu Liuying. Zuo Yue added to Yan Yuanlin while eating.

Liuying didn't know how boring Lu Yuan would do such a thing, she looked at Lu Yuanlin, but Lu Yuan set her eyes on Yan Yuanlin, did not admit or deny it, just said: "Your tone sounds like envy me." ”

Yan Yuanlin threw Lu Yu a roll of his eyes, and said complainingly: "I envy your second uncle, if I like a girl, I won't quietly count how many steps people have taken every moment in WeChat, and I won't do everything possible to play with everyone in other people's design drawings to find faults, more..."

"Yan Yuanlin. Lu Yu interrupted Yan Yuanlin's words, "You can't stop your mouth with so much food?"

"Why do I really like the way you look deflated? Yan Yuanlin laughed evilly.

"Don't invite me when you get married in the future. Lu Yu said threateningly.

Yan Yuanlin and Lu Yu are still in the past when you say a word, and Zuo Yue interjects a sentence from time to time, but other than that, his mind is all on a table of dishes. Liuying thought in her head that these three people usually get along like this, so how can the work continue? However, fortunately, with these two people with him, life can become a lot more interesting.
