Zhao Yuan was slightly stunned, and then grinned: "Mr. Lu, didn't I already say it just now, I found these letters from a scrapped Santana glove box. I'm not a good person, curious, nosy, I think this person must value these letters very much since he has such a large stack of letters, and it would be bad if he lost them like this, so I wanted to do something good and send the letters out. ”

Lu Ying picked up the teacup slowly, lifted the lid and blew it, and then took another sip slowly before saying, "Have you told your grandfather about this?"

Before the words fell, Zhao Yuan's whole person jumped up, he stared at Lu Yingyi with wide eyes, as if he was looking at a monster, and it took a long time before he sat down again, this time he lowered his head and thought for a long time, and when he raised his head again, the kind and lovely smile that had been hanging on his face was gone, replaced by a little embarrassed and a little nervous smile: "Mr. Lu, you are really amazing, do you already know everything?"

Fang Liwen asked inexplicably: "What do you know?"

Zhuo Yang said: "These letters were not found by accident from some abandoned vehicle, they originally belonged to Zhao Yuan's grandmother. ”

Zhao Yuan scratched his hair and said, "Mr. Zhuo, you, you also know." ”

Lu Yingyi said: "Ah Yuan, we don't intend to embarrass you, but since you have decided to entrust things to us, then we are people on the same boat, and our purpose is to help you complete the commission, so you should still make it clear what will help us complete the commission." ”

Zhao Yuan clasped his hands between his knees, rubbed back and forth for a long time, and finally raised his head as if he had made some serious decision: "I will make things clear, but can I first know how you know that this matter has something to do with my grandmother?"

Lu Yingyi said, "Yes." He stretched out a finger, "First of all, these letters are well preserved, even the earliest letters are not stained with oil or water stains except for the worn corners, which shows that the person who keeps the letters attaches great importance to the letters, how could such an important person casually throw such an important letter in the glove box of an old car and pull it for scrapping?"

Zhao Yuan said: "Maybe the custodian of the letters himself is not able to take care of these letters now, so they were inadvertently discarded by his family?"

Lu Yingyi shook his head: "These letters are wrapped in three layers of plastic bags. He picked up the plastic bags and spread them out to Fang Liwen next to him, "How do you feel?"

"What do you feel?" Fang Liwen was stunned for a moment, looked at it carefully, and said, "Some of the plastic bags are very wrinkled, and some are quite straight." ”

"Yes, this means that the letter custodian will take out the letters from time to time to look at them, that is, the letter custodian will always keep the letters in a place close to him and ready to take them out and look at them. ”

Zhao Yuan said: "Isn't it okay to keep it in the glove box?"

"The smell. Lu Yingyi asked, "Lao Fang, do you smell anything on the plastic bag, the one that smells the most wrinkled." ”

Fang Liwen sniffed: "It seems to have a little fragrance." He said, "Well, it should smell like spices, hand cream?"

"What else?" Lu Yingyi asked, "Is there a smell of gasoline, the smell of engine oil, or the smell of resin materials after aging?"

"None of them. Fang Liwen said.

Lu Ying nodded: "You see, the custodian of these letters is a woman. A woman, who is old and in poor health, can be seen from the trembling handwriting of the last letters, so she could not be the driver of the Santana you are talking about, and there is no smell of the long-term glove box on these plastic bags, proving that these letters could not have been kept in the glove box for a long time. I think it's true that the woman you said lost the ability to take care of the letters, and the fact that the letters were discarded by her family, so there is only one possibility, that these letters were deliberately discarded by the woman's family when she was not in good health and had no time to take care of them. ”

Zhao Yuan's face changed slightly.

Lu Yingyi continued: "If the owner of these letters has nothing to do with you, then even if you are curious after seeing these letters, your first reaction should be to return the letters to the original owner, instead of asking us to find the recipient of the letters, so why would you ask us to find the recipient? First, because the original owner is no longer able to take care of these letters; second, because you know very well that these letters will be thrown away again once they are found by her family; and third, you feel that you have the obligation to be a messenger for the original owner. ”

"I ......"

Lu Yingyi interrupted Zhao Yuan, who wanted to say something, and said: "Don't say that you went to find the recipient because you didn't know who the original owner of the scrapped car was, now the scrapped vehicles have to be registered, as long as you have the heart to check it, you can find it." So, whether there is such a car or not, you not only know who the original owner of the letter is, but also have a close relationship with her. ”

Zhao Yuan sighed slightly.

Lu Yingyi said: "Just now you mentioned your academic qualifications to Lao Fang, you said that you are a secondary school student, wandering in the society after graduation, not less worrying about your grandmother, your tone reveals that you and your grandmother have a very good relationship, very close, but from beginning to end you have not mentioned your parents, so I think, you should have grown up with your grandmother." ”

Zhao Yuan whispered: "Yes, my parents divorced when I was very young, and both of them reorganized their families and left the country, and I was raised by my grandmother and grandfather. ”

Lu Yingyi said: "That's right, although the handwriting of these letters is very chic, it still has an obvious feminine style, coupled with the fragrance of the plastic bag and the analysis of the age of the letter writer, I think we can easily draw such a female image, she is a seven-year-old, Eighty-year-old man, who has been in poor health recently, is very important to you, so much so that you want to do something for her to fulfill a long-cherished wish that may not be fulfilled in her life, but you lied again, lying that you did not know the owner of the letter, so I judge that although the owner of the letter is your grandmother, the person she wrote to confide in, coughed ...... "Lu Ying cleared her throat and omitted the middle part," It's inconvenient for your grandfather to know, so after you accidentally found these letters, you planned to send them out for your grandmother, of course, you did this to hide from your grandfather. ”

After hearing this, Zhao Yuan breathed a long sigh of relief, he leaned back on the sofa and said in a low voice: "Mr. Lu, you are so powerful, too powerful, did anyone say that you are like looking in a demon mirror!"

Lu Ying laughed out loud and said, "What, do you think you're a demon?"

When the matter was said, Zhao Yuan's trademark cute smile returned, he rubbed his face and said, "I'm just making an analogy, you know I don't read much, don't make fun of me!"

Lu Yingyi said: "I am also a high school graduate, and I don't read much, so we are each other." ”

Zhao Yuan immediately laughed, a dimple appeared on his face, and said excitedly: "Mr. Lu, then the two of us can be regarded as like-minded, I have made a friend of yours!" As he spoke, he wanted to grab Lu Yingyi's hand and shake it, but he didn't □□ Zhuo Yang coldly, sat between the two, and coughed coldly.

"Get down to business. He said.

Zhao Yuan was stunned for a moment, and somehow felt that Zhuo Yang's eyes were a little cold when he looked at him, so he subconsciously sat down and said, "Oh, I said." ”

The real thing is similar to Lu Yingyi's speculation, Zhao Yuan's grandmother is the original owner of these letters, the old man was born in 1938, just 77 years old this year, the original physical condition is not very good, a while ago suddenly found out that she had lung cancer and has reached the middle and advanced stages, the doctor took into account her age, and her physique is not very good, thinking that the risk of surgery is too great, and it is better to take conservative treatment, so that the old man has not many days left.

"The better case is half a year, and the worse case may be two or three months. Zhao Yuan's eyes were slightly red, but he couldn't hold back his tears, "I just thought about helping her do this while she was still there." As he spoke, he looked at the neatly arranged twenty-nine letters on Lu Yingyi's table, "Actually, I heard the name Tongzhou once when I was a child, when my grandfather and grandmother quarreled somehow. The relationship between the two of them has always been good, and they rarely blush, but that time they quarreled very fiercely. My grandfather said at the time that I should not have tripped you up or anything because I knew that you were still in the same boat, and my grandmother cried, and then they reconciled, but no one mentioned it again. It was only when I grew up that I slowly realized that Tongzhou was probably the person my grandmother once liked. This time, my grandmother was hospitalized, and my grandfather took something for her to go to the hospital, but I found these letters thrown in the trash, and I read them before I realized that my grandmother had never put down this person for so many years. He shook his head, "Although I can understand my grandfather's feelings, but my grandmother doesn't have long to live, so why can't I let her go without regrets?"

Lu Yingyi said: "So you want us to find this person in the same boat for you and bring him these letters that should have been sent." ”

Zhao Yuan nodded: "If I can, I also hope that he can come to give my grandmother a ride, of course, I also know that it depends on the health of the old gentleman and his personal wishes, or his family may not want him to come, then bring a letter, it is good to record a voice and say two sentences or write two strokes, just as it is a parting time, to send off the old friend." Zhao Yuan said, "Mr. Lu, I know that it is difficult to find someone in transit, and I don't have a lot of money, I think this case, I will pay ......" He stretched out three fingers.

Lu Yingyi raised his eyelids and looked at them, and then said, "You wait." Pulled Zhuo Yang and Fang Liwen to another conference room next door, "What do you think?"

Fang Liwen said: "Three thousand is okay, at least this month's water, electricity, and gas food expenses have been settled." ”

Lu Ying was furious and said: "We are going to open a world-class large company, how do you know the cost of water, electricity and gas!"

Zhuo Yang said: "Xiao Lu, we haven't done business for a long time. ”

Lu Yingyi became even more angry and said: "Ning Que doesn't understand indiscriminately, if we always take on some cases that have no publicity value, then the company's style will not be able to go up!"

Fang Liwen said: "But didn't you take on a case of escorting elementary school students to and from school last week......? It's not big. ”

Lu Yingyi: "......"

Lu Ying looked at Zhuo Yang angrily and said, "It's all your fault, you always take on some cases that have neither oil and water nor commercial value!"

Fang Liwen looked at Zhuo Yang sympathetically, because the case was obviously taken by Lu Yingyi himself, but "Lying Gun Zhuo" said seriously: "Yes, yes, it's all my fault, I'll review." After the review, he said, "Then I'll push this case away." ”

Before the person reached the door, he heard Lu Ying shout: "Come back!"

Zhuo Yang walked back and looked at Lu Yingyi with a smile. Lu Ying cleared his throat and said, "That...... Ah Yuan's case still has a certain value, although it is not lofty, but it is also very important for us to find a specific target in the vast sea of people in a limited time and across decades, especially like Lao Fang and the two of you, just take this opportunity to practice your hands. ”

Fang Liwen said "ah" and pointed at himself, only then did he understand why Lu Yingyi was staring at him just now and letting him guess. Thinking of this, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do it." "Since he came to the empty security, he really hasn't made any substantial contributions, and I'm a little embarrassed.

Zhuo Yang said: "Then it's decided, let Dr. Fang take overall responsibility for the case, and we will cooperate." So saying, he went to the door again.

Lu Yingyi shouted again: "Come back!"

Zhuo Yang looked at him inexplicably, Lu Ying coughed and said, "I want to pick it up, and the price can be talked about again." ”

"Oh. The three of them muttered again, reached a consensus, and then returned to the conference room just now.

Zhao Yuan saw the three of them come in, stood up and said, "Mr. Lu, what do you think?" ”

Lu Yingyi said: "Regarding this case, it is still quite difficult......

Zhao Yuan said: "I understand, I understand, after all, it's been decades, and there is no other clue except for a name." He thought for a moment and said, "Well, I'll add some more money." ”

Lu Ying glanced at Zhuo Yang proudly, meaning, look, business is going to do this. Zhuo Yang looked at him, as if he had been scratched by a kitten, and it itched terribly.

Zhao Yuan said: "I ...... I'll add another 10,000, 40,000, and give you 10 days, can you see it?"

Lu Yingyi: ".............................."

Lu Yingyi: "Four, four, four, four, ......"

Zhao Yuan said: "Or...... Forty-five thousand?"

Happiness came too suddenly, and Lu Ying couldn't help but roll her eyes and fell backwards.

There was chaos in the room, and Fang Liwen shouted: "Zhuo Yang, put him flat quickly, Xiao Lu has fainted!"
