Chapter 54
The two drove to a high-end residential community on the outskirts of the city, Gu Heng parked the car on the side of the road, Wen Yan pushed open the door and got out of the car.
Because it is located on the outskirts of the city, the surrounding area is exceptionally quiet, the elm trees on the side of the road are sunburned with leaves, the branches are listlessly drooping, and there are occasional rich women leading poodles out at the entrance of the community, and the pace is leisurely and comfortable.
Wen Yan stood at the gate of the community, raised her head and looked at the rows of glass windows that were shining in the sun, and faintly, she seemed to see the familiar figure again, the usual elegant and quiet sitting posture, the face that has not aged in the past many years, and the dark green cheongsam she loves the most.
It's already July, and the weather is very hot, just like the summer of that year, she stood in the same place, watching the police go in and out blankly, and the reporters carried all kinds of video equipment to occupy all angles and shoot wildly, the bright yellow cordon, and the dark red blood in the big pool not far away......
I only have a sense of foreboding, but I don't know what happened. At that time, she was naΓ―ve to the point of being stupid.
The sun shone into her eyes, and a burning pain suddenly swelled up under her eyes, Wen Yan raised her hand slightly, and then covered her dry eyes, she felt that something important was inadvertently leaking through the gap between her fingers and was passing away with her. At that moment, she felt an irrepressible momentum, which was slowly and intentionally climbing up to her chest, about to gush out of her tight throat.
Gu Heng stepped forward and followed, then stopped beside Wen Yan and stood side by side with her.
"Where is this?" Gu Heng followed Wen Yan's gaze to the residential building and asked puzzledly, "Why are you here?" β
"It's where I used to live." Wen Yan removed his hand and looked at the towering floor, so his voice sounded a little erratic, "When my mother was alive, we lived here. β
Gu Heng looked at Wen Yan with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
"But it's been sold." Wen Yan's voice was faint, her tone was mixed with amazement and loss, she turned her head to look at Gu Heng, and the corners of her thin lips showed a reluctant smile, "To pay off the debt." β
Gu Heng's expression was stunned and he didn't speak. The relationship between Wen Yan and Yan Shujun has spread in the entertainment industry, of course he knows, and it was from then that he really understood Wen Yan's past and where the large amount of money he lent her went.
The two of them were looking at the tall building in a daze, and Wen Yan felt someone pass by her, and then walked in the direction of the entrance of the community. It was about a middle-aged man in his fifties, dressed casually, wearing a peaked cap, and subconsciously looking back as he walked. At that moment, he seemed to see Wen Yan as well, his expression suddenly became surprised, and then he paused, his gaze stayed on her face for a full minute, and then suddenly turned back.
"You're Wen Yan, right?" The man let go of his steps and walked over, his uncertain gaze looking left and right at Wen Yan.
Wen Yan was not surprised to be recognized by strangers, now she is somewhat familiar on the screen, she can't say how big a wrist she is, but it's true that she is popular. So it's not strange for someone to recognize her, and it's not strange that they can't recognize her. However, the man's tone was naturally familiar, not like he simply regarded her as a star, so she smiled slightly and asked politely, 'Who are you?' β
The man's surprised gaze became pleasantly surprised, and he couldn't help but pat his thigh: "Yo, it's really?" I almost thought I was wrong! You don't remember me? We turned out to be neighbors, you live on the 16th floor A, I live on the opposite side of your house, on the 16th floor B, surnamed Wu, do you have an impression? Seeing that it was really Wen Yan, the man immediately opened the conversation box and said endlessly.
When he said this, Wen Yan really had a little impression, the neighbor's mother did know the door, and the relationship was good, and when she met by chance, she would say a few words, when she was with her mother in the past, she also saw the one in front of her, he was very friendly and polite to his mother, and would politely call her Teacher Yan, six years passed in a flash, and now look at him again, the eyebrows are still like that, but obviously old.
Seeing that Wen was silent, the man raised his hand and took off his cap, revealing his gray hair: "Do you remember?" We've seen it! β
Wen Yan nodded hurriedly: "Well, I remembered." β
The man looked a little excited, and slapped his thigh again: "I really didn't expect to see you again, I suddenly moved away at that time, and I couldn't help if I wanted to." But also, it's not easy for anyone to have such a thing. The man suddenly became sentimental as he spoke, raised his eyes and saw that Wen Yan had been smiling and not speaking, so he quickly changed the topic, "Fortunately, you are also out of luck now, you are getting more and more beautiful, and you are a big star again, Teacher Yan knows it, and he will be happy for you." β
Wen Yan smiled faintly, but her face was somewhat bitter: "She will." β
The man paused for a moment, and then said: "It's really impossible to say what is in the world, Teacher Yan was a big star at the beginning, he was kind and popular, and he had a good personality, it was not easy to take you alone, to be honest, we all admired her, until now I can't believe that such a thing will happen." The man sighed and continued, "I remember that day, I happened to go home to pick up something, and as soon as I came out of the elevator, I saw someone enter your house, or the door opened by Mr. Yan, and it should be a young man in the back, and it seems that he is still an acquaintance. β
Wen Yan felt suffocated in his heart, and almost asked with a trembling voice, "What you said is true?" Are you sure someone went to our house that afternoon? β
The man thought for a moment, and then affirmed: "Yes, it was that afternoon, and then something happened......
"Do you see the man's face?" Wen Yan said urgently.
The man's expression was a little depressed, and he couldn't help but sigh: "No, I just saw a back, and the body was straight and straight." He said and subconsciously glanced at Gu Heng, and nodded matter-of-factly, "It looks like him from behind, and at first glance he looks like a young man." β
Gu Heng's face sank, what kind of metaphor is this? Why is it like him? Where is it like? How can this old man speak without his brain, how can he be so open-mouthed?! Will it ruin people's innocence?
As soon as the man finished speaking, he answered the phone, and while brushing his hair, he responded in a loud voice: "Oh, I know, I'm coming back, I met an acquaintance at the door, chat, don't rush." After that, he hung up the phone, said a few more polite words to Wen, and hurriedly walked towards the community.
Wen Yan's gaze froze slightly, he was stunned for a while, and finally came back to his senses, and then his eyes slowly glanced over, looking at Gu Heng thoughtfully. Gu Heng saw Wen Yan looking at him with 'ill intentions', and suddenly became anxious, and hurriedly defended: "It's not me." β
Wen Yan frowned: "I know it's not you." I'm just thinking, who's like you! β
Gu Heng paused for a moment: "Who do you think is like me?" β
Wen Yan felt a little headache: "I can't think of it." β
Gu Heng: "...... Okay". After a moment of silence, he added, "He just said that the man seems to be an acquaintance. β
Wen Yan felt her heart tighten suddenly, and an ominous feeling suddenly surged, she closed her eyes and whispered, "This is terrifying." β
In the security room of the community, Wen Yan wrinkled his brows and tried his best to lobby the young security guard, hoping that he could call up the surveillance video on the day of the incident. She said it with a dry mouth, but the security guard ignored it completely. He was probably not yet thirty years old, wearing a navy blue uniform, and he was full of righteousness, and at first he was very happy to see the star deity, but now he was obviously impatient.
"Miss Wen, I have already said that I can't call up the surveillance video of the community for you privately. First, you are not the owner of our community, and second, I don't have that right. Moreover, what you want is six years ago, when I was not a security guard here, and besides, I don't know where to put the materials from so long ago. β
The two of them were in a stalemate in the security room for half an hour, and they never talked about it, one persevered, and the other refused to accommodate. The young security guard looked like I was in charge of my territory, and he loved the expression, Wen Yan was angry and anxious, and he felt that he was about to be unable to talk to him calmly.
Gu Heng looked at Wen Yan's face, stepped forward, and smiled at the security guard with a complicated and vague smile: "We understand your difficulties very well, but we don't understand one thing, I really want to know, we are neither the owners of the community, nor do we have a key card, how did we get in?" β
The security guard's face was embarrassed, and he was speechless. He knew that Gu Heng's words were aimed at him just wanting to ask Wen Yan for an autograph and a group photo, so he happily let people in, he was mocking his inconsistencies and his so-called dedication, the security guard was depressed for a moment, and defended himself: "I thought Miss Wen needed help." β
"She does need help. Her needs are within your reach, so I don't see why you wouldn't. β
Gu Heng had just been hung aside by the security guard who asked for an autograph to read the newspaper, and he sat for half an hour. At this moment, he suddenly stood up, he was wearing black trousers, white shirt, because of the hot weather, the sleeves were casually pulled at the elbows, the amber cuffs emitted a bright streamer in the sun, even if his posture was leisurely, the smile was cute, and there was no aggressiveness, but how to look at it, there was a natural arrogance and a momentum of contempt, so powerful that it was impossible to ignore.
There was a moment of silence in the room. The security guard cleared his throat and said without confidence: "Although it is within the scope of ability, it is not a trivial matter, after all, it involves the * of the residents of the community, if it is said ......."
"You can rest assured of that." Gu Heng smiled meaningfully at the security guard and interrupted him: "Although Wen Yan doesn't have any privileges as a star, there is really no need for her to make such jokes as a public figure. You can think again. β
The security guard involuntarily swallowed. Didn't speak.
Gu Heng's smile became even more gloomy, he walked slowly to the security guard, deliberately avoided Wen Yan's gaze, and whispered a word into his ear. I couldn't hear what was said, but I saw the corners of the security guard's mouth twitch, as if he understood.
When the thick surveillance data was turned out from the bottom of the drawer, the dark blue paper clip was already covered with a layer of soil.
The security guard released the surveillance video from the computer, Wen Yan's eyes barely blinked, she stared closely at every clip that happened, even the smallest details, and in some places even played it back again and again, and finally the security guard was tired of watching it, so he threw the information to Gu Heng and Wen Yan, and went to the side to rest.
"Wait. What's going on? Wen Yan hovered his mouse over the time point shown in the surveillance video, "Why only the information of the morning and the afternoon?" β
The security guard sighed, walked over to take a look, and then shook his head in confusion, "I don't know." I can only help you find this information, and as for what it shoots, it's none of my business. As he spoke, he pulled back the time point of the video, and it was indeed the next day's data, and the afternoon of the incident did not show up at all.
"I don't know." The security guard stretched and said with a tired face, "Maybe the monitoring is broken, it's been several years, who remembers?" β
As he spoke, two more security guards walked in one after another, and he was first taken aback when he saw Wen Yan, and then shouted loudly to sign a group photo, Wen Yan was so troubled that he couldn't do it, and he took the book and was about to sign it, but he was pulled over by Gu Heng, and without saying a word, he dragged her out of the security room.
"There must be a problem." The two of them were walking, Wen Yan suddenly spoke, she didn't go to see Gu Heng, her tone was more like talking to herself.
And Gu Heng naturally understood this as a conversation between her and herself, and took it for granted that the two of them already had a tacit understanding, so she responded decisively: "I can't ask anything today, come back tomorrow." β
"I'll just come alone." Wen Yan's tone was neither lukewarm nor lukewarm.
"That's not going to work." Gu Heng frowned, "People are moved by me, I have the absolute initiative in this matter, and I must be responsible to the end." β
Wen Yan suddenly paused: "How did he get moved by you." β
Gu Heng also stopped. He pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled, and his voice was vivid and gentle: "You know I have this ability. β
Wen Yan's face was pale: "Did you give money?" β
As if someone had been exposed on the spot, Gu Heng's face changed instantly, and his handsome face flushed unconsciously, but he tried his best to maintain a calm look: "You can't deny it, sometimes money is better than anything." β
"I don't deny it." Wen Yan was stunned suddenly, and his eyes became deep, "If it weren't for the support of money, I wouldn't be able to live now." β
The atmosphere suddenly became stiff, and both men fell silent.
Gu Heng was about to say something more, the mobile phone rang, he received a call from the driver Lao Wu, after listening to him say a few words on the other end of the phone, his face changed suddenly, and the eyes that were still smiling just now instantly turned cold.
Wen Yan glanced at him: "Something?" β
He was silent for a moment: "Aunt Lan is sick, very sick, and the doctor said that the situation is not very good. β
