In my silence, Chen Yi picked up the beer in front of her and took a sip, then turned her gaze to the window, as if she didn't want to listen to what I said. At this moment, she was completely immersed in a very selfish world, and I knew what she was thinking, but I couldn't get in. And this door was locked by myself from the outside, and she did not turn me away.

I picked up my beer and took a sip and looked out the window at another plane tree. A gust of wind blew, blowing the leaves rustling, and the sunlight falling on the leaves seemed to shake, just like my life, sometimes on the front of the leaves, sometimes when the wind blew, it fell on the back, I seemed to be a man without a back.

Halfway through a bottle of beer, a song called "In the Mood for Love" suddenly played on the stereo in the hotel, and I also remembered the alley where Su Lizhen and Li Mubai fell in love in such a somewhat retro artistic conception.

Chen Yi and I have also had eye contact in the alley with similar appearances, and we have also crossed shoulders. However, I am not Li Mubai after all, and she is not Su Lizhen, although we have the same ending.

It was getting dark, and the street lamps lit up in the middle of a bottle of wine. In the blink of an eye, the city became a blur, with lights of various colors as its coat.

Chen Yi finally opened her mouth, and she said to me: "Jiang Qiao, you and Xiao Ai are already legally recognized husband and wife, you should no longer be the best men and bridesmaids of Gu Lin and Wu Lei." ”

I was suddenly shocked, and then said to Chen Yi: "Yes, do you still have a suitable candidate?" ”

Chen Yi shook his head and replied: "None of the recommendations I recommend are in the circle of Wu Lei and Gu Lin, so they lose the meaning of best men and bridesmaids." You hurry up and call Gu Lin and ask her to find a pair by herself, there should be a lot of people in their circle. ”

I nodded, hurriedly took out my mobile phone from my pocket, and then dialed Gu Lin's number. She answered after a while, and she said to me, "Jiang Qiao, I have a case to deal with here, and I will give you back later." ”

"Wait a minute, I'll just say a few words."

"What's wrong?"

I let out a sigh of relief, and then replied to Gu Lin: "Xiao Ai and I have already received the certificate, so we can't be the best men and bridesmaids for you and Wu Lei, you can see if you can find a pair from your police circle to replace us." ”

Gu Lin sighed with surprise: "You got the certificate? It's too sudden! “

"Well, it was yesterday morning. Over the years, we have also gathered and scattered many times, and I really don't know how much fate we have come together again, so we don't want to dream a lot at night. It just so happened that both of them were married, so they got the certificate. However, the wedding is not planned for the time being. ”

Gu Lin smiled and replied, "I really didn't expect you to walk in front of us. Congratulations! ”

"Rejoice, rejoice."

Gu Lin responded, and said, "In this case, this best man and bridesmaid, I will ask my colleague to do it...... But I still want to thank you and Chen Yi, my wedding with Wu Lei really bothered you. ”

"They're all friends, so don't say these unseemly words...... By the way, if you have time tomorrow, you can go to the Joy Wedding Photography Shop on Qinhuai Road and get the wedding dress, and I have already been notified there. ”

"Okay, I'll go over tomorrow morning...... If there's nothing else to do, I'll hang up first. ”

After I answered, Gu Lin hung up the phone. And the next moment, Chen Yi and I were facing each other again, but suddenly I didn't know what else to say. So, I opened another beer to hide my discomfort.

I put down the beer bottle and finally said to Chen Yi: "I'll order a lobster, if I don't eat it, I won't have a chance...... It just so happened that we also used the time of dinner to determine the process of the wedding. ”

"You can order it."

I reached out and called the waiter, and ordered all the flavors of lobster. While waiting for the food to be served, Chen Yi and I also determined the process of the wedding.

After dinner, Chen Yi and I were not idle, we called together again, and confirmed with those who sent invitations whether they would be present on the wedding day. Actually, we didn't have to do any of these things ourselves, but we did it ourselves to show respect for the wedding.

……

It was already half past ten in the night, and we finally got a chance to breathe after the last docking. Chen Yi asked me, "If you don't go back so late, Xiao Ai won't make a phone call to ask?" ”

"She, Qiao Ye and Qin Miao went to Shanghai, and in the evening, we had already spoken."

"She's with Qiao Ye and Qin Miao?"

I nodded and replied, "It's for Jinding Real Estate...... Originally, Qiao Ye planned to buy the part of the equity in Li Zishan's hands in the name of Jiangjian Group, but he was killed by an investment company in Shanghai that had never heard of it...... This investment behavior caught Qiao Ye and Xiao Ai off guard, so they went to Shanghai to investigate the investment company...... What you can imagine, if Jiangjian Group and Jinding Real Estate reach a cooperation, how much profit and convenience will it bring to both parties, but now it is said that the yellow will be mixed, do you think they can be willing? ”

"That sounds like that, it's quite a."

I answered, and didn't speak again, just as I wondered if I should call Xiao Ai later to care about this matter. I saw Qiu Zi'an again outside the glass window, and he was supposed to be accompanied by one of his assistants. After a few words with the assistant, he walked into the hotel.

I asked Chen Yi, "He should have come to you, right?" ”

"I don't know."

Chen Yi picked up his handbag as he spoke, preparing to leave. Since she has such a move, there is no doubt that Qiu Zi'an is coming to her. I don't know why, but her hiding from Qiu Zi'an made me feel less good, because I saw her who completely locked herself up.

Putting aside the past grievances, Qiu Zi'an is the man who is most dedicated to her, but she has never given Qiu Zi'an a chance to get along.

This time, I didn't get involved, I went to the bar and settled the bill, then left the "Indus Hotel" through another door, and then stood on the opposite side and looked inside......

Chen Yi's face was still not very good, but Qiu Zi'an was as patient as ever...... But love is not a negotiation after all, and I think he may have used the wrong method. Or, Chen Yi really doesn't want to spend his whole life with him. Sometimes, love really has nothing to do with sincerity.

……

Back to the glass room built on the top of the "Huashen International Building", I took a cold shower and lay down on the double bed I slept with Xiao Ai, feeling a little lonely after all. Because, those who are closest to me seem to have something to do overnight, and then leave me.

It wasn't until I took out my marriage certificate with Xiao Ai from the drawer and read it several times that this mood was relieved, and I gradually fell asleep......

At night, I had a dream that I had a pair of wings and flew freely in the sky, but when I flew to a sea area, I suddenly felt a great gravity, and then the wind and rain blew, and I fell into the sea like a leaf.

It was a nightmare that woke me up. I slowed down for a long time before I remembered to wipe the sweat off my face, and then took out my phone again to check the time. At this point, it's just past two o'clock.

I was so immersed in the nightmare that I was losing my sleepiness. I made myself a glass of milk, then lit a cigarette and sat at the table by the window......

When I was about to finish a cigarette, my phone on the table vibrated in the middle of the night, and I hurriedly picked it up from the table. I looked at it, it turned out to be Huohuo, and I was puzzled by what kind of information he could bring me at this point in time.

I answered the phone, and he said to me very straightforwardly: "Boss, the person you asked me to check, I have already found his information...... I think it should be very helpful for you. ”

My nerves tightened immediately, and I asked him, "What is his origin?" ”

Huohuo said to me half-jokingly, half-seriously: "Such important information, I think if you don't add money, I will really lose." ”

"As long as the sources are reliable and helpful to me, money is not an issue."

"Just kidding, what you're asking me to do now is within the scope of the service, and I can't charge any more. But I was really surprised by the results of this survey......"

Huohuo was a bit of a sell-out, but I still waited quietly for him to continue, this quietness was to keep myself rational after knowing the truth.

Huohuo finally said to me: "We are in this industry and are very sensitive to information, so I know what happened to Jinding Real Estate recently...... The news I got here is that the person you want me to investigate is called Jiang Xiaosheng, who is the legal person of Hongyu Capital. He studied in Tianjin for a year and then went abroad to study. Judging from the information I have, he doesn't seem to have any substantive relationship with Zhao Mu...... But it is not excluded that there is a one-sided relationship, and later contact becomes a friend. ”

In the face of this news that shocked me, I didn't overdo it, I just felt that human nature was really elusive, although I was mentally prepared, but I still don't want to believe that Zhao Muhui is the biggest beneficiary of this capital game, because his meeting with Jiang Xiaosheng happened before Li Zishan decided to transfer equity, which is enough to explain a lot of problems. At least what is certain is that he is nominally on Xiao Ai's side, but behind his back, he keeps making small moves, which is definitely a calculation.

At this time, Huohuo said to me again: "Jiangqiao, I don't need to say more about the current situation, you should know better than me...... But I'd like to warn you that you'd better think about it a little deeper. ”

"I understand...... You immediately pass on the information named Jiang Xiaosheng to me...... Also, I need your help with one more thing. This is an additional requirement and I can increase the commission paid. ”

"I like to make money the most, you say, I will complete the task with quality and quantity."

"It's not difficult...... I ask you to find someone who is eighty percent similar to Wu Lei within half a month. ”

After Huohuo groaned for a while, he replied: "Dude, this matter is really not simple, that Wu Lei is not a public face, his appearance is still very distinctive." ”

I said: "According to you, this is indeed difficult, but don't forget, Wu Lei has been in a vegetative state for several years, and his appearance has already changed a lot, so as long as it can be eighty percent similar, it meets my requirements." ”

"Are you trying to lure the snake out of the hole?"

When I asked him for an investigation, I was mentally prepared, after all, he was a private detective, and my motives could not be hidden from him. I said to him, "I hope you don't leak anything about what I'm doing...... I know that if I do this, my hope may be slim, but if I don't, I will not have the opportunity to know the truth about the fire in the piano shop. ”

"Don't worry, if I don't have any professional ethics, why should I gain a foothold in this industry...... However, in my experience, this method is still very clever. But the premise is that the person you suspect is really the real culprit behind the scenes.

After a few more brief conversations, I ended the call with Huohuo. After that, I fell into complicated thinking, and I finally decided not to tell Xiao Ai and Qiao Ye about the results of Huohuo's investigation. It's not that I don't want to help them get the situation under control, I'm just worried that they will be shocked when they find out, and I have to carry out my last plan.

……

Because the night had taken so much energy, the next day, I slept until ten o'clock. The moment I opened the curtains, I realized that the weather was not too good today. It was raining lightly outside the window, and the temperature dropped a lot, so I felt a hint of autumn. I vaguely remember that a few years ago, Xiao Ai also broke into my life at this time.

Time flies, and autumn is the beginning and the end......

After I washed up, I didn't bother to have breakfast, so I went directly to the "Tulip Hotel", and I found the wedding executive who was in charge of Gu Lin and Wu Lei's wedding. I worked with him on a backup plan for the wedding to control the risks. Originally, I was going to make the wedding open-air, but today it rained. Although the weather forecast says that the wedding day will be cloudy, due to the recent changeable weather, the possibility of false alarms is still relatively high.

After discussing it, we decided to set up a slightly simpler stage indoors as well to cope with the bad weather that might happen that day.

At lunchtime, I called Xiao Ai, and she took the initiative to tell me that they had found out that the legal person of Hongyu Capital was named Jiang Xiaosheng, but this person had a long period of foreign life experience, and his resume in China was very ordinary, so they were even more confused after such an investigation. Because until now, they didn't have the means to know about the person's experience abroad.

I didn't choose to respond to this, just let them go with the flow. But I already have the bottom in my own heart, because this Jiang Xiaosheng and Zhao Mu had contact before Li Zishan's transfer of equity, so I don't need to know his experience abroad to guess the dirty transaction behind this capital transfer. But I have to be patient, because I'm waiting for the bigger truth.
