Chapter 228: Covert Investigation
Gu Lan was actually a little anxious, she wanted to see if Xu Dan had anything to do.
But when she finally walked out of the hospital, Xu Dan had lost her trace on the endless street in front of her.
Gu Lan frowned, took out the mobile phone in his pocket and dialed Xu Dan's number.
The beep prompt on the phone sounded for a long time, and Gu Lan called many times, but in the end no one answered.
Although he couldn't rest assured, Gu Lan felt that Xu Dan should not be as impulsive as last time, so he lowered his head and sent her a message.
"Dandan, I know you're sad, but you did misunderstand, I don't have anything with Su Mu, you must not think about doing something stupid, if you are really sad, you can come out and chat with me, I will always wait for your news." ”
After sending the message, Gu Lan sighed softly, Uncle Chen had already parked the car in front of her, Gu Lan asked Uncle Chen to go around the hospital twice, but still found no trace of Xu Dan, so he could only let Uncle Chen turn around and drive to his home.
When Gu Lan stepped into the house, he took a deep breath, and he was still the most familiar with the taste of the home that he grew up in.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back. ”
Gu Mingcheng, as always, sat on the sofa with reading glasses, raised the newspaper in his hand and looked at it carefully.
Zhou Xiuzhen was busy in the kitchen with an apron.
"Mom, I told you that Yichen didn't come back with me, you were still busy in the kitchen. Gu Lan said angrily.
"Alas, it's rare for my daughter to come home once, and I'm sure I'll make a delicious meal for you. ”
Gu Lan shook his head helplessly, and slowly walked to Gu Mingcheng's side and sat down with his stomach straight.
"You're here just in time, Lan Lan, have you read today's newspaper? Isn't this the same Captain Xu who helped us last time? Why was he suspended and investigated?"
"Lan Lan, could it be related to my family's affairs again?"
Gu Mingcheng is obviously a little anxious, what happened last time had a big impact on him, plus Gu Lan's life experience, no matter what strange news he sees now, he will go to himself.
Gu Lan saw Gu Mingcheng's thoughts, and said softly: "Dad, don't think about it, this matter has nothing to do with us, but since it is a matter of Xu Dan's family, Yichen and I will not ignore it." ”
"Well, I'm going to help people take a look, after all, they have helped us before, and we still owe them a favor. Gu Mingcheng nodded heavily.
"Dad, I came back because I wanted to discuss with you another matter, Mom, you should come over first. Gu Lan turned his head and called out to Zhou Xiuzhen in the kitchen.
Zhou Xiuzhen stopped what she was doing with a suspicious face, wiped her hands on her apron and walked to the sofa and sat down.
"Mom, Dad, I want to ask you for one thing. Gu Lan was a little hesitant, and she retreated a little in her heart, after all, her parents' attitude before made her dare not speak.
Zhou Mingcheng sighed and put down the newspaper: "Lanlan, I know what you want to say, you want to ask about your biological parents, right?"
Zhou Xiuzhen's expression was a little stunned, and she looked at Gu Mingcheng and stopped talking, and finally sat there quietly.
Gu Lan nodded heavily, knowing that her daughter was Mo Ruo's father, her intention was still seen by Gu Mingcheng at a glance.
"Dad, I don't mean anything else, I just ......" Gu Lan didn't know how to explain, Qingxiu's brows were all clustered together, and it was about to turn into a dead knot that could not be untied.
Gu Mingcheng's laughter broke the embarrassment in the room.
"Lan Lan, this should be something you know, what's there to hesitate about. Didn't you say it last time, no matter who your biological parents are, nothing will change between us. ”
This sentence was said to Zhou Xiuzhen, Gu Lan looked at his mother and nodded vigorously.
Seeing Zhou Xiuzhen smiling, Gu Mingcheng calmed down and said patiently: "However, in fact, we don't know who your biological parents are, when we first met you, you hurriedly ran to the front of my car, and it happened all these years." ”
"Well, Dad, what I want to ask you for is that I hope you can help me find out who my biological parents are, and I can't tell Yichen. Gu Lan's tone was a little solemn.
"Why don't you tell Yichen, wouldn't it be easier to let Yichen help you find it?" Zhou Xiuzhen interrupted Gu Lan's words suspiciously.
Gu Lan calmly hugged her mother with a mischievous smile: "Mom, you can help me keep it secret first, okay?"
Watching her daughter coquettish herself, Zhou Xiuzhen really couldn't stand it: "Okay, okay, Lan Lan said anything, I'll go back to my hometown with your father in two days and inquire again, anyway, your younger brothers and sisters won't go home this week." ”
"It's better to be a mother, but you have to be safe. Gu Lan snuggled in Zhou Xiuzhen's arms, smiling sweetly.
Zhou Xiuzhen touched Gu Lan's hair, looked at her big belly and smiled: "Fool, let's just go back to our hometown, Lanlan, come over and eat something, even if you are not hungry, I think this little thing is hungry." ”
"Here it is, Mom made the best food. Gu Lan obediently agreed.
"It's sweet to you. Zhou Xiuzhen's laughter was particularly hearty.
……
In the hospital room.
"You don't think I like Gu Lan, do you?" Su Mu looked at the ring in his hand as if he was self-deprecating, and rubbed the ring in the palm of his hand for a long time, like his own lover.
However, its owner had only been wearing it for a few days, and he didn't want it.
Shen Yichen raised his eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth showed a trace of disdain: "I don't have time to think about these boring things." ”
Su Mu knew that Shen Yichen didn't like to joke, so he shook his head and said, "There is no way to explain this misunderstanding. Alas, forget it, maybe Dandan and I don't have a fate for the time being. Su Mu blew on the ring, and carefully received it into the invisible pocket close to his left chest: "When the woman's affairs are dealt with, I will go to make amends to Dandan." ”
And now, he is willing to give up his happiness, and he will definitely not risk Gu Lan's safety.
Once her identity is known to Su Qing, the consequences are unimaginable.
Shen Yichen looked at Su Mu with a hint of emotion in his eyes, but he quickly disappeared and returned to a calm and watery quiet.
Since he was a child, he has never experienced the relationship between father and son, nor has he had the experience of living with his brother, and he has been studying hard every day in order to succeed the Shen family in the future.
This kind of family affection that dissolves in the bones and blood is thicker than water, it is false to say that you don't envy it.
However, his eyes were deep, and he didn't show any of it.
"What are your plans next? We can't sit back like this, behind Xu Qing's suspension, I suspect that Su Qing is contributing to the trouble. Su Mu raised his face seriously.
As long as Su Qing exists for a day, he will be like a fish in his throat.
"I don't know about Xu Qing, but that day at the Jinghua Hotel, I saw Su Qing carrying a small box in. Shen Yichen carefully scrutinized those details, trying to find flaws in them.
Su Mu slapped his thigh, and as soon as he had an idea, he almost didn't jump up: "I'll just say, I was drunk and saw a figure sneaking outside, so I chased after Zhu Yi'an, if I hadn't seen her, I guess I would have been buried in the fire." ”
"However, have you ever wondered how she got into the box and set fire to the box where we ate was full of your bodyguards?"
The crux of the problem is, how did Su Qing do it?
Shen Yichen squinted his eyes and thought for a while: "That fire burned all the drunk investors inside, as well as two waitresses, and my bodyguard was not affected too much because he was standing far away from the door." ”
Shen Yichen's voice seemed to float from the sky, but it hit Su Mu's heart word by word: "According to the memories of the injured bodyguard, a small explosion occurred after a waitress went in with a tray in his hand, causing a fire. ”
"If I'm not mistaken, the problem is with the tray in the waiter's hand. Shen Yichen's eyes opened in vain, flashing a little cold.
Su Mu followed his train of thought for a while, and nodded: "That's right, in a high-end place like Jinghua Hotel, the dishes are covered with things, firstly, to ensure that the warm fragrance does not dissipate, and secondly, it is also a kind of confidentiality measure, in case others see their good dishes." ”
So, Su Qing should have taken advantage of this and replaced something that could cause an explosion into the tray, and the waitress who served the food was completely unaware. ”
Su Mu raised his head and glanced at Shen Yichen, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled.
It's all through!
In a large hotel of that size, food delivery is lifted to the food receiving table outside the room through a special food delivery elevator, and the lid is always covered during the process, and no one will open it during the process.
It must be very difficult to do anything in the kitchen, and it is impossible for Su Qing to destroy all the surveillance alone, and then avoid the attention of all the chefs in the back kitchen and replace the dishes.
The only possibility is that she did something in the elevator shaft!
That's why Shen Yichen saw Su Qing wearing a maintenance worker's costume.
"It can cause a small-scale explosion, and you can carry it with you and won't be investigated, only the liquid alcohol and hydrogen bottles that are often used to heat dishes in the hotel!
Su Mu gritted his teeth with hatred, these two things are the most common things in the hotel, and the dishes used for heating are also often ordered by people.
No wonder it was judged by the police to be an accidental fire!
said that it was an accident that occurred on the way to eat vegetables, and no one would doubt it.
"Damn! Not only did it harm me and Lan Lan, but it also affected Dandan's uncle in the end. ”
Shen Yichen frowned slightly, and his eyes were cold: "There is no monitoring in the elevator shaft, and we don't have any evidence to prove that it is Su Qing and Xu Qing's affairs, so we can only slow it down for a while." ”
Su Mu's excitement about solving the case was annihilated in an instant, yes, they had no evidence at all.
Su Qing did this seamlessly, and he really underestimated her.
"You take care of your injuries first, Lan Lan went back to her parents' house alone just now, I'll take a look now. Thinking that Su Qing was so thoughtful, Shen Yichen couldn't help but be a little worried about Gu Lan, although he was in the ward, his heart was about to follow Gu Lan home.
Su Mu nodded, and after watching Shen Yichen leave, he took out his mobile phone.
The address book column lingered in front of Xu Dan's name for a long time, and Su Mu finally did not dial out, but called another person's phone.
"Hey, come out for a drink with me. ”
