Pei Tianming left in a hurry from Wu Kexin, drove his own car, quietly passed through the night city, and drove into an alley.

He parked his car in front of an old residential building, and after getting out of the car, he subconsciously looked around, locked the car door, and entered the building.

He walked up to the third floor and patted the old iron door on the left. Ten seconds later, the wooden door inside opened, and a man in his thirties appeared at the door, glanced at him, and opened the security door.

Pei Tianming entered the house, closed the security door casually, closed the door, and asked the man while walking into the house: "How is it?" What did you find? ”

The man walked in front of Pei Tianming, and kicked into the room inside: "I didn't find what you wanted...... But I had an unexpected bonus......"

"What windfall?" Pei Tianming followed into the house and saw a desk in the room, a laptop was placed on the desk, and a video was playing on the screen, and the picture was fixed on a man's face.

He found the face familiar, and for a moment he couldn't remember who he was.

The man sat down at the desk, turned the chair in one direction, faced Pei Tianming, and said: "I entered from the second floor an hour after they turned off the lights, and I didn't find anything related to the identity certificate in the room far away, I wanted to touch the first floor and look for it again, but I didn't expect that the woman in their family didn't sleep, sitting in the living room on the first floor, damn!" I don't sleep in the middle of the night, turn off the lights and sit on the sofa, pretending to be scary! I was talking to her, she ran out, I had no choice but to chase after her and try to close her mouth, who knew that a man suddenly came outside her door, smashed the glass and was about to rush in. I was worried that if I continued to whirlwind around, I would attract the police, so I carried this notebook and a camera, jumped out from the second floor, and ran back. ”

After hearing this, Pei Tianming frowned: "Why are you so careless?" Aren't you known as the city's number one detective? That's all there is to it? Alarmed the police or not? ”

"Don't worry, that woman didn't see my face clearly, and I figured out the monitor settings in that area two days in advance, and when I came out, I avoided all the monitors, and no one would find out about me." "Detective" assured Pei Tianming.

Pei Tianming nodded, indicating his trust in him.

"Detective" then showed Pei Tianming the results of his night visit to Nanxi's house.

He pointed to the Hasselblad DSLR next to his laptop: "This camera was found under the bed in the far away way, but there are no photos of his daily life in it, so it doesn't help to find out his identity." ”

While listening to him, Pei Tianming picked up the camera, opened it, and flipped through the photos inside one by one.

As the "detective" said, there is no figure in the distance, it is some black and white character photos...... It is said that it is a portrait, but it is not quite accurate, because the person in the photo cannot see the real face.

This series of photographs has different backgrounds, but there is only one protagonist, a man in a wheelchair.

This person was wearing a wide pajama-like flannel gray robe, with a large hood covering his face, and his facial features were completely invisible. Whether the surrounding environment is a sunny seaside, or a warm courtyard, or even sitting on an elegant European-style pastoral floral cloth armchair, it can't change this person's cold temperament.

This person, who never shows his facial features in a series of photographs, is like a ghost in the night.

Pei Tianming stared at the person in the photo, and always felt as if he had seen the face hidden in the hood, and there were two cold gazes, shot out of the shadow covered by the hood, staring at him.

He was inexplicably flustered, blinked vigorously, and when he looked at the photo again, where was there any gaze? Except for the silhouette of a man in a wheelchair, there was nothing out of the ordinary.

"Hey! Mr. Pei! These photos shouldn't be the focus of your attention, you should take a look at this video that is stored in Lu Zhiyuan's notebook...... Mr. Pei? The "detective" saw Pei Tianming staring at the photo intently, and didn't seem to hear him speak, so he called him.

"Huh?" Only then did Pei Tianming hear the voice of the "detective", "What? What did you say? ”

"Detective" craned his neck and glanced at the camera screen: "Is there anything special about these photos?" What did Mr. Pei see? ”

"I didn't ...... Didn't see anything...... I'm just thinking, who is this person he is photographing? None of the facial features can be seen, so is the subject of this series of photographs ghosts? Hehe......" he chuckled dryly.

"It's still a ghost with a missing leg......" "Detective" pointed to the bottom of the wheelchair in the photo.

Pei Tianming took a closer look, and sure enough, he saw that under the blanket on the man's knee, only one right foot was on the pedal, and the position of the left foot was empty.

"I've heard that Lu Zaiyuan was a freelance photographer before investing in Zhimei, but I never had the opportunity to see his work. I looked at these photos today and found that this kid is still a little talented...... Don't you feel it? These portraits have a gripping power, which is very shocking...... "Pei Tianming's gaze stopped on the empty left pedal for a long time, and he sighed.

"Detective" snorted disdainfully: "Yes, this kid is very talented, he will not only take shocking character photos, he will also shoot tireless documentaries, you can keep these photos and enjoy them slowly in the future, now please enjoy this video." ”

Pei Tianming put down the camera and looked at the screen of the laptop: "What film?" ”

"Detective" didn't answer him, raised his hand and pressed the play button.

The freeze frame on the screen began to move, and the man began to speak: "...... At that time, Tianming Logistics was only a small logistics company, and the business volume was very small, not to mention in the whole country, even in this city, it could not compete with those logistics companies that already had a certain scale...... Because Mr. Zhao did not provide much entrepreneurial capital for Pei Tianming at that time, he had no way to win in the scale of the enterprise, so he could only use some special means......"

"What special means?" A voice outside the screen asked.

"For example, at that time, there was a logistics company called Shunda that had been operating for many years in D City, which was very large in scale and had a good reputation, accounting for most of the city's logistics business, and firmly stepped on the head of Tianming Logistics. If through normal competition means, Tianming logistics will probably not be able to catch up with Shunda logistics in a few years. Pei Tianming thought of a way, he hired a group of people to ship all kinds of goods, clothes, shoes and so on to different places at different times. One day, the city's anti-narcotics department received a tip, saying that Shunda company used its own logistics channels to transport drugs and traffickers, after the anti-drug brigade dispatched, intercepted a batch of Shunda's shipments on the freight car of Shunda, in the sole of a batch of shoes in the interlayer, sure enough, found powdery □□, and then checked, the previous several drug transport also dug out, affected by this incident, Shunda was severely punished, Shunda's boss was imprisoned, and soon the logistics company declared bankruptcy, Tianming Logistics's most powerful competitor in the local area disappeared like this... …”

"You didn't go into detail enough, how could Shunda be so careless, there were drugs in the goods, and they couldn't check it out?" The voice outside the screen asked.

"Of course, Shunda has a traitor, and he deliberately neglected to inspect the goods that were hidden in drugs...... The person who did this was me...... I was working in the warehousing department of Shunda at the time, and I had to do this because my son had burns and needed a lot of money for treatment. Later, because of negligence in my duties, I was also implicated and ate prison for a few years, but Pei Tianming was very trustworthy and took on all the costs of my son's treatment and plastic surgery, and I couldn't earn that money in my life, so it was worth it for me to stay in prison for a few years......"

"Did Pei Tianming find you personally?" The voiceover asks again.

The man nodded: "He personally talked to me, at that time he didn't have the status he has now, and he did everything himself......"

When the video was played here, Pei Tianming suddenly raised his hand, grabbed the mouse, and pressed it to stop playing.

He was silent and didn't speak, but his fingers tapped quickly on his thighs subconsciously.

It's his habitual movement, and when he feels nervous, angry, his fingers can't help but move.

He finally remembered who this man was, and on a winter night more than twenty years ago, it was he who knocked on the door of this man's house, pointed to the unrecognizable little boy hiding in the bed and said: "As long as you do one thing for me, all your son's medical expenses and plastic surgery expenses will be covered in me......"

After so many years, he fought hard in the business field, climbed all the way to today's position, and he didn't remember how many people and things he had experienced. If he hadn't been here today, seeing this man again on this little screen, he would have vaguely remembered that disgraceful event.

"Detective" looked at Pei Tianming's expression and knew that this video had a great impact on him.

Originally, Pei Tianming hired the "detective" to let him find out the true identity of Lu Yuan. The "detective" entered Nan's house at night, but he didn't find any clues, and he felt quite faceless.

Seeing that the signboard of the "detective" was about to be smashed, this video saved him.

"After I decrypted Lu Zaiyuan's notebook, I didn't find any information about his ID card, but there are more than a dozen such interview clips, if these videos are edited together and circulated, it will be very unfavorable to Mr. Pei......"

"Have you saved these interview videos elsewhere?" Pei Tianming asked vigilantly "Detective".

"Detective" smiled and said, "Mr. Pei, my profession is to find out the truth for others, not blackmail. What do I want these things for? As long as you feel that my work is productive and pay according to the price we originally set, I am satisfied, I am a detective with professional ethics......"

"It's best to ...... this way" Pei Tianming stood up, turned off the power, put the notebook under his armpit, and turned around and walked out.

"Hey! Mr. Pei, the road is far away...... Do you want to continue to check? "Detective" asked.

"Check!" Pei Tianming only said this one word, then pushed open the door and walked out.

After going downstairs, he got into the car, threw the laptop that was far away from the road to the passenger seat, started the car, drove out of this alley, and drove onto the spacious main road of the city, he stepped on the accelerator to the end, flew all the way back to the company, parked the car at the door, and went upstairs with his notebook.

After entering his own office, he locked the door, turned on only a small lamp on the desk, put the notebook on the desk, and turned it on.

Then, he stared at the lit screen, hesitating.

At the "detective", he only saw a video of the interview. According to the "detective", there are more than a dozen such videos.

He recalled what had happened in the past 20 years since he founded Tianming Logistics, and made an estimate of the people and things that might appear in the interview video.

Then, open the video file and watch it one by one.

Basically, it was all in his expectation, only three or four things that he didn't pay attention to, or because it was too long, he forgot.

He turned off the video and stared at the desktop.

At this moment, he remembered the day Lu Zaiyuan walked into his office, and the young man looked at him with such adoring eyes, expressed admiration for him, and vowed to make a documentary for him that would be strong enough for posterity.

He was inspired by the enthusiasm of this young man at that time, and he also felt that he had worked hard for half his life and achieved fame, and he could be regarded as a figure in both the business and political worlds, and it was not an exaggeration to make a film.

He never thought that what Lu Zaiyuan said would be passed on to future generations, and it was not what he understood to mean.

Even when he realized that what happened at home and that this young man who suddenly appeared might have something to do with it, he didn't expect that Lu Zaiyuan would expose some negative truths in his entrepreneurial experience that could not be known through such an unannounced visit while making those positive biopics of his achievements and virtues.

No matter what the relationship between this young man and that "Xin Ping 1958" was, before seeing these secret visit videos, he thought that their revenge was nothing more than that, hurting Zhao's father and daughter, but he was unscathed.

Now, it seems, he was overly optimistic.

These interview videos may have been edited by Lu Zaiyuan, and it is impossible for him to know where they exist.

What made him most annoyed was that if he hadn't provided Lu Zaiyuan with a lot of information about his early business in order to make a documentary, Lu Zaiyuan's unannounced visit would not have gone so smoothly.

Moreover, if it weren't for the cover of that positive film singing the praises of virtue, Lu Zaiyuan would not have been able to detect such a large-scale investigation of him.

In short, he was tricked by Lu Zaiyuan.

When the young man said "to pass on to future generations", he thought it meant "to be passed on for a hundred years", but in fact, it was "to be remembered for thousands of years...... Even if it is an exaggeration to say that he has been infamous for 10,000 years, if the truth of these things is known to the world, his glossy, successful, and responsible entrepreneur image will inevitably collapse, and people will say that he is a person who has risen to power by such despicable means as eating soft rice, squeezing out opponents, framing others, and bribing officials.

He worked hard for half his life, and if the final outcome was to be beaten from heaven to hell, he couldn't accept it anyway.

He is now anxious to know whether the person who manipulated the "Xin Ping 1958" account is Xin Ping himself or his enemy opponent in the mall.

He has been in business for so many years, and the people he offended have hurt countless people, and if it is one of these people who retaliates against him, then he can still understand.

If it was Xin Ping himself, he wouldn't have figured it out.

Although he lost Xin Ping at the beginning, the two of them were relatively peaceful when they broke up. Xin Ping is a strong woman, and when she heard that he was going to marry Zhao Xinyao, she didn't say a word, turned around and left.

Because he was too happy, he was very uneasy.

Later, Zhao Liangmao told him that Xin Ping had received a large sum of money from Zhao Liangmao and had left the city, so his heart could be relieved.

Since then, he has never seen Xin Ping again.

A few years ago, his son, who was about to be born into the world, was strangled by Zhao Liangmao in his mother's womb, and the relationship between him and Zhao Xinyao fell into a state of stalemate and cold war. At that time, he remembered his beautiful first love, and remembered the woman Xin Ping, who he once sent someone to find her.

But he couldn't find this woman, her relatives all said that she had been missing for many years, and she had reported a missing person back then, but she was not found in the end, and in the end she could only be treated as if she had an accident and was no longer in the world.

After he heard about it, his heart moved, wondering if Zhao Liangmao had done something to Xin Ping.

It's just that he has no evidence, and at that time, his relationship with Zhao Liangmao was already very tense, and if he went to find Zhao Liangmao because he couldn't find a woman, Weng's son-in-law turned against him, which would not be good for him.

So about Xin Ping, he took it to heart and didn't look for it again.

Now, this woman has appeared in such a guise, is it herself? Or is it someone who knows about his past □□ and uses her name to hit him?

He still doesn't understand.

The top priority is to prevent the video of these unannounced visits from circulating, otherwise he may be the next person to lie in the hospital due to a cerebral hemorrhage.

He looked at the time, and before he knew it, it was already early in the morning.

At dawn, he picked up the phone on his desk and dialed the mobile phone number that was far away.

A gentle tone came from the phone: "The phone you are dialing has been turned off......"

He held the phone, stunned for a while, and suddenly remembered: Among the people around him, the only person who had had substantial contact with this "Xin Ping 1958" was his son-in-law Deng Jiaxiang.

Deng Jiaxiang threatened the Pei family twice, both of which were provided by this person named "Xin Ping 1958". Afterwards, he said that he did not know the woman's contact information, but Pei Tianming did not believe it.

As long as there is a connection, there will always be a clue.

So, he stood up, moved a limb that sat stiffly, went into the bathroom, and washed his face with cold water a few times to sober himself up.

Then, he left the office, drove downstairs and headed straight for the hospital. 166 Reading Network
