14. Meet for the first time
"Please go in through that door. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Lin Yan said, pointing to the door at the end of the aisle.
After Fang Da and Liu Yiming thanked Lin Yan, they walked straight to the door she was pointing to.
"Please come in!" Liu Yiming knocked on the door, and a sonorous male voice came from inside. Liu Yiming entered in response, followed by Fang Da.
"Welcome, welcome." Facing the door, behind a very imposing pear wood carved platform, sat a middle-aged man in his forties with a bronzed complexion, straight shoulders, and a muscular body. He is wearing a very well-fitting navy blue suit, although he is over forty years old, but because of his perennial fitness, his whole body is full of vitality, coupled with his exquisite dress, he exudes the charm of a mature man.
"I'm very sorry that there was something that had to be solved just now, so I made the two of you wait for a long time." The voice is clear and loud, he is the owner of the Deep Mountain Club - Xiao Yue.
Liu Yiming took out the business cards he had prepared in advance and exchanged them with him.
"Tea, two of you, please." A woman with a capable temperament and good looks came to them with tea and some snacks, her skin was very fair, and her red phoenix eyes were slightly raised. After she skillfully put the things in front of them silently, she got up and retreated, it seemed that she should be Xiao Yue's secretary.
After she left, Liu Yiming briefly explained her intentions and put a copy of Kong Han's previous works in front of Xiao Yue, "This is Kong Han's last work before his death, and now he has reached the top of the sales list." ”
Xiao Yue picked up the book with both hands, flipped through it briefly and said: "Detective novels, I haven't read them for a long time, I read "Sherlock Holmes" when I was young, and I don't remember anything now." After speaking, he put Kong Han's novel on the table, "So, what do you two want to know?" ”
"That's right, when we were sorting out Mr. Kong's relics, we found that he had a manuscript about the live-action CS competitive game, and the publishing house decided to sort it out and publish it as Kong Han's posthumous work. We all know that you are a top expert at this competition, so we would like to have your advice on how to organize your manuscripts. Liu Yiming expressed his intentions according to the same rhetoric he had discussed with Fang Da before, so as not to rashly mention it and arouse Xiao Yue's suspicions.
Xiao Yue did not have any doubts after hearing this, and patiently explained the history of the development of this sport to the two of them in detail, and made a statement on the prospects and future development of this competitive sport, and he spent nearly an hour talking about the whole process.
Fang Da took the opportunity of Xiao Yue to drink tea, interrupted their topic, and asked seemingly unintentionally: "Has Mr. Xiao seen Kong Han recently?" ”
"You mean lately?" Xiao Yue's tone barely changed, and he still said in a calm tone.
"Yes, recently."
"Yes, even on the day he died, I really didn't expect that meeting to be the last meeting, he was still very young."
"May I ask what he is looking for you for?" Fangda didn't expect Xiao Yue to be so frank as he admitted his last meeting with Kong Han.
"Like you, I hope to get more writing material from me." Xiao Yue said with interest.
"He's a member of yours, have you met before?"
"I personally designed a lot of our live CS competitions, and sometimes I participate in them, so we sometimes run into them." Xiao Yue's words are reasonable, and there is no flaw.
"Excuse me, did he reveal to you that he might be threatened, or that his life was in danger?"
"How is this possible! How could he say that? His voice suddenly became louder. Didn't he die accidentally? ”
"He was murdered on the night after you met." Fang Da sped up, he hoped to disrupt Xiao Yue's position so that he could get useful clues.
"No, no...... If he did, do you think I'd stand by and let him go? Xiao Yue's attitude changed back to his previous calmness, and then he said to Fang Da in a suspicious tone: "Are the two of you doubting me?" ”
"Why, that's not what it meant." In order not to arouse Xiao Yue's suspicion, Liu Yiming immediately interrupted the conversation between them and said, "Thank you for your assistance, I wonder if we can continue to visit?" ”
Xiao Yue had already regained his previous composure, and said politely: "Of course there is no problem with this, I will arrange for someone to take you to visit." After saying that, he dialed an internal phone, and the female secretary who had just come in with tea walked in and took them out of the office.
As soon as they walked out of the door, Lin Yan was already standing at the door waiting for the two of them.
