Chapter 82: Self-destruction

"I'm a friend of Mr. Jiang."

The corners of Zhou Mengdie's mouth pulled a smile, it was not a greeting smile, nor a sarcastic smile, but an almost overjoyed smile, as if she had been waiting for her arrival for a long time. A sincere smile cannot be disguised, it is fundamentally different from a fake smile, when a person expresses joy from the heart, the corners of the mouth will be curled, the eye sockets will become half-moon shaped, and the crow's feet wrinkled in the inner corners of the eye sockets will also reveal the sincerity of the other party's heart.

"Come with me to my room." Zhou Mengdie grabbed her hand, for fear that she would run away, and turned around and walked regardless of anyone's obstruction.

"Fluttershy......" Zhou Mengdie stood still with a pained expression as Xu Jiacheng stepped forward and grabbed her other hand to prevent her from falling.

After returning to the house, Qiao Yixia found that Zhou Mengdie carefully locked the door, and leaned on the door to listen to the sounds outside, before groping her way to the bed and sitting down. There were no wedding photos in the room, only a few photos of her with her sister and husband on the bedside table, and on the bedside table on the other side, it was not a photo of Zhou Mengdie, but a solo photo of Zhou Mengdie. Thinking of Xu Jiacheng subconsciously holding Zhou Mengdie's shoulder, Qiao Yixia frowned.

"I've finally arrived." Zhou Mengdie sobbed a few times and said in a low voice.

"Have you been waiting for us?"

Zhou Mengdie nodded heavily: "Actually, I've always wanted to meet with Chenghuai's people, but my sister always disagrees, I've always wanted to know, who was the person who was going to deal with me back then?" Have you already found it? If I can be given justice, even if I can only live the rest of my life, I will be content. ”

"Don't you suspect that Fang Tian did this, like the others?"

Hearing these two words, Zhou Mengdie hugged her head painfully: "I don't know, but I always feel that it's not her...... After learning about her suicide, I felt even more that it wasn't her. Hearing that Qiao Yixia didn't speak for a long time, Zhou Mengdie's tone was a little more frustrated, "It seems that I still haven't found it, haven't I?" ”

"Miss Zhou, who do you think is motive to hurt you besides Fang Tian? Or rather, the destruction of your face has a direct benefit to her. ”

"I don't know. It was already late, I went home from filming in a daze, I was the only one in the elevator, and when I got to the floor where my house was, something was splashed on the opposite side, and my face was very painful, as if it was being burned, and I thought to myself, it's all over. ”

Qiao Yixia has investigated Fang Tian's itinerary that day, that day was Fang Tian's rest day, she only finished shooting an advertisement in the morning and then there was no announcement, in terms of time, she really can't be ruled out of suspicion. But that day, Zhou Mengdie was supposed to finish work at eight o'clock in the evening, but it was only because the director was dissatisfied that he reshot it several times, and it dragged on until two o'clock in the evening, that is to say, in the case of not knowing what time Zhou Mengdie would go home, Fang Tian had to stay here all the time if he wanted to commit the crime, and it was very difficult not to attract the attention of others, but at that time, according to the police investigation, the residents on the same floor said that they had not seen Fang Tian. Moreover, if it weren't for knowing in advance that Zhou Mengdie would come back very late, she would definitely not be the only one in the elevator, and Fang Tian would not be stupid enough to commit a crime when there was a second person in the elevator.

Qiao Yixia walked to the bedside table and picked up the frame, and Zhou Mengdie inside smiled beautifully, wearing a cheongsam, noble and generous.

"Miss Zhou is so beautiful, like a person in a painting."

Zhou Mengdie smiled bitterly, as if realizing that she was looking at the photo: "That was when I first debuted, my sister took me to shoot, both of us sisters were wearing cheongsam, and the photographer said that we were the most beautiful sister tweed he had ever seen." Later, when I filmed, I also took over some period dramas, but I didn't fit so well anymore, and I loved it so much...... Although I can't see it, as long as I put the picture at the head of my bed, I can hypnotize myself, I am still the same person I used to be, I have not become a star, I have not become a celebrity, I have not been disfigured......"

Her voice was sweet and full of fantasy, and from the smile raised at the corner of her mouth, you could feel her extreme desire to turn back time, and in comparison, Zhou Mengdie's smile in the photo was even more dazzling at this moment.

When Meng Liuchen went to Chenghuai to deliver the book to Jiang Xiage, she just finished a video conference, standing in her office, looking at Jiang Xiage's heroic appearance in a small suit, she lost her mind for a while, and couldn't speak with her mouth open, Jiang Xiage didn't mind, so she simply took the book from his arms and thanked him.

Jiang Xia Ge's assistant helped Meng Liuchen make tea, and his slender fingers delicately flipped through the thick stack of books, not only the precious book signed by Maslow, but also five limited edition books of Freud, Lu Xifei read very seriously, wrote his heart in many places, and made annotations next to some obscure professional terms, although Jiang Xiage was a layman, he could see that these annotations were added not long ago, because with Lu Xifei's professional Cheng dΓΉ, the understanding of these words was not a problem for her, The reason why I took the trouble to write it down was probably to help the young girl understand.

She couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth, moved by her good intentions, and looked up at Meng Liuchen, the young man was a little restrained, he didn't know where to put his long hands and feet, and scratched his head embarrassedly.

"Anything else, Liuchen?"

"Oh......" Meng Liuchen shook his head, "No, no." ”

Jiang Xiage also returned with a polite smile, because usually after this kind of conversation, the other party will leave in an interesting way, who would have thought that Meng Liuchen was still sitting on the sofa, motionless.

"If you have something, just say it, you don't have to see it."

"That, Sister Xia Ge, are you free at night? I have, have two concert tickets, and I think you're going to like it......"

Jiang Xiage stopped what he was doing, got up from the chair, walked to him, and looked at him with his body bent, the current in his eyes made Meng Liuchen unable to breathe: "Liuchen, you, are you soaking me?" ”

On the other side, when Lu Xifei and others arrived at Gao's house, Gao Pingyu's adopted daughter Gao Zhener was accompanying her son to do her homework, I heard that Gao Zhener was divorced from her husband the year before last, and it took a lot of effort to fight for the custody of her son.

The decoration style of Gao's house is very simple, and it is also very bookish, and the living room is hung with poems inscribed by Professor Gao, but the household appliances are very advanced, with a large LCD TV, a new three-dimensional air conditioner, and a European-style coffee table. Looking at Professor Gao's bedroom, it is a simple bed, a desk, a coat rack, a wardrobe, and no other complicated decorations, which is completely different from the living room. Gao Pingyu is highly respected, and his salary is not too low, but the decoration of the room is so frugal, it is enough to see that he is a hardworking and simple person.

"Dad has been in poor health in recent years, not long ago just had a serious illness, originally in the hospital said that he would quit his job, safe and stable at home to recuperate, who knew that after being discharged from the hospital, he insisted on returning to school, saying that he couldn't let go of his students." Gao Zhen'er wiped the tears from the inner corner of her eyes with the tip of her index finger, looking depressed.

"I know that my father attaches great importance to the election of the vice principal, and he always says that if he can become the vice principal this time, he will be able to do more for the children, I think, he is because the pressure is too great, so he can't think about it."

Lucifer noticed that although Gao Zhen'er's upper body was relaxed, her lower body looked very restrained, constantly changing the posture of her legs, shaking her feet from time to time, or slapping the floor with her toes. This was not the reaction she was supposed to have.

Desmonds Morris once said that human movements are autonomic nerve signals, lower limb signals, body signals, unrecognizable hand movements, recognizable hand movements, etc., in descending order of credibility. The lower limb signal ranked second, and Gao Zhener's unconscious lower limb movements were undoubtedly the leakage of her true emotions, and she was very nervous and uneasy.

"Zhen'er, your father is definitely not this kind of person! In his life, the last thing he cares about is false fame, how could he commit suicide because of this! ”

"Uncle Wu, do you know how much I wish my father's death was just a dream? But every time I wake up crying from my dream, I realize that my father is really gone......"

"But even if that's the case, why was there still Yin Ming present at that time, it must have been something he said to your father that your father would be stimulated!"

"But Uncle Wu, none of us have any evidence, do we?" Gao Zhen'er looked at Professor Wu pleading with tears in her eyes.

Professor Wu closed his eyes and shook his head: "Zhen'er, I originally thought that even if people all over the world believed that Lao Gao committed suicide, you wouldn't believe it, but now it seems that you are the first to compromise." ”

Gao Zhen'er was also very excited, tears gushed out like a sea bursting the embankment, and she sobbed and said to Professor Wu: "Uncle Wu, my father is gone, do you think I won't be sad, I am the only one in this world...... Do you know how scared I am. I'm not compromising, I have to accept the reality, my dad must not want to see me desperate for him, he will definitely want me to live well! ”

As soon as the words fell, there was a knock on the door, and a middle-aged lady was followed by a middle-aged lady in a straight suit, wearing a pair of glasses, and holding a briefcase. This man is a gold medal lawyer of Zhongtu Law Firm, and when he saw the people present, he first said hello, and then said: "I am the lawyer representing Ms. Gao Zhener, responsible for handling Mr. Gao Pingyu's will and handling the transfer of real estate. "He came today to discuss matters related to the inheritance of real estate with Gao Zhener.

"Transfer?" Shang Lu asked.

"Yes, according to Mr. Gao Pingyu's will, Mr. Gao has handed over the real estate, that is, the real estate and fifty percent of the property, to Ms. Gao Zhen'er for inheritance."

"Can you show us Mr. Gao's will?" Officer Peng asked.

"Of course." The lawyer pushed the frame of his glasses and took out the will from his briefcase.

The handwriting on it is crooked, and there is no style of Gao Pingyu's handwriting at all, so Gao Zhener explained: "This is what my father wrote when he was hospitalized before, and the doctor said that his condition was very bad, and he was worried that something would happen to him, so he asked me to bring him a paper and pen, and this will was written by him lying on the bed and on his back." ”

Although the words are a little distorted, but they can roughly understand the meaning, Gao Pingyu did leave the house to his daughter, and for his son, he only said that all the money for his son's care in the future will be shared from his property.

Gao Zhener continued: "Although it is inconvenient for my father to write, the doctor said that my father has always been very conscious. The implication is that the will was never written while he was delirious and is still valid.

"This ...... That's impossible! Professor Wu's hand holding the will trembled violently.

"Uncle Wu, my father has always treated me as his own daughter all these years, and has never treated me badly, my brother is lying on the hospital bed unconscious, even if I am busy every week, I will definitely take time to see him, what I have done, Dad has seen it in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, you are saying this kind of thing now, you are sprinkling salt on my wounds!"

Professor Wu wanted to say something, but Gao Zhen'er shook for a moment, and was supported by the lawyer next to her, only to hear her say: "Do you have anything else, if there is nothing else, I still have something to discuss with my lawyer." ”

When going downstairs, Bai Ying kept supporting Professor Wu, for fear that he would be unwell. Later, Professor Wu said that he had a few words that he wanted to say to Lu Xifei alone, and Lu Xifei also agreed, so he drove Professor Wu back to the original place alone. On this day, Professor Wu really saw Lu Xifei's calmness, no matter what happened, she always remained calm, she was calm but intelligent, she saw everything in her eyes, and did not let go of a trace of details.

"Actually, I've heard about Xiaohe." Professor Wu choked up, thinking of the girl who used to call him Teacher Wu sweetly, his heart was sour, "I only hope that the child will come out in the future and be a good person, what a good child." In Cui Ting's case, Shen He's sentence was lighter than Ding Yuan's, but after all, it was difficult to escape justice.

"I just don't understand why everyone around me has become like this...... I don't understand why Zhen'er's child is so filial, why he just refuses to believe that Lao Gao's death is definitely not an accident. ”

"What the public sees is always only superficial appearances." Lucy held the steering wheel and said lightly.

Professor Wu took off his reading glasses and wiped his tears: "Professor Lu, what do you mean by this?" ”

"A truly filial person will not rush to replace old electrical appliances after his father's death, will not take his father's money to buy new sky-high jewelry, will not let his father's bedroom be dusty but ignore it, and will not forge a will." Obviously, those brand-new appliances were purchased recently, and Lucy found out that the bracelet worn by Gao Zhener was a new model that Cartier had only come to market the day before, which means that it could not have been purchased before Gao Pingyu's death.

"Professor Lu, how can you be sure that the will must have been forged?" Although he had doubts in his heart, there was no evidence to prove it.

"If the will had not been written with a ballpoint pen, I might not have been able to conclude that it was fake." Lu Xifei glanced at the rearview mirror in the car, Professor Wu pushed the frame, his face was puzzled, Lu Xifei patiently explained, "The ballpoint pen can write by using the earth's gravity and the fluidity of oil to make zuΓ², if according to Gao Zhen'er, his father is lying on the bed and writing on his back, and he can't write a few lines, he won't be oily." But Professor Gao not only wrote it fluently, but also wrote two whole pages. I'm a science lover and don't believe in such a fantastic miracle. And for a simple property inheritance, Gao Zhener actually invited the gold medal lawyer of the firm, I think this is not because she has a lot of money and has nowhere to spend. ”

Others may not know, but whether the will is true or false, Gao Zhener is very clear, because she has a ghost in her heart, so a simple will appraisal and property transfer actually invited a gold medal lawyer who specializes in important lawsuits.

Hearing Lu Xifei say this, Professor Wu suddenly patted his thigh, and felt mixed feelings in his heart, first regretting that he didn't notice this, and then regretting that Gao Zhen'er really couldn't wait to start a crazy inheritance battle with his brother who was lying on the hospital bed after her father's death, thinking of Gao Pingyu's eyebrows dancing every time he talked to him about his daughter, Professor Wu suddenly felt cold.

"In that case, Professor Lu, we should expose that ruthless girl on the spot, and we must not let Lao Gao's house fall into her hands!"

"Professor Wu, evil is invincible, and she will never succeed." Luci turned the steering wheel flexibly, unfazed.

Professor Wu sighed: "Lao Gao, he has never fought for anything in his life, he only has academic research and his students in his heart, and he said that he will donate all the money to the Hope Project to help some poor children." This is also why he is sure that the suicide note will not be written by Gao Pingyu, "I really can't wait to reveal the true face of that girl immediately." ”

Luci tapped his fingers on the steering wheel while waiting for the red light, blinking his clear eyes: "Arthur Schopenhauer said that if we suspect a man of lying, we should pretend to believe him, because he will become more and more courageous and confident, and lie more boldly, and finally unmask himself." ”

It's fun to watch a self-directed and self-acting figure finally unmask himself. There is nothing more desperate to destroy than self-destruction.
