No one in the room spoke, perhaps it was an illusion, as if the ticking of the clock was getting louder and louder every minute, from tinkling to clicking. Hou Sheng ran back and forth a few times, for fear that he would not be able to send back the news of the people who had been driven out to inquire as soon as possible. ran diligently, and really let him run a clue.

I saw him rushing all the way from the yard to the living room, and proclaimed in a loud voice: "Grandma, something has been delivered." The porter said that someone had handed over something, and it seemed to be related to Miss Four. ”

"Then why don't you stop someone and ask for clarification."

There was a chaotic noise in the living room, the sound of pushing chairs, and the sound of stumbling footsteps, staggered, and everyone was commanding in a stack, Tan Rulin was also so shocked that he sat up suddenly, and took his eyes back and only looked at Hou Sheng. Hou Sheng said: "That man is very ghostly, and he threw things under our threshold from a long distance, and he found it when the doorman was closed--it was a lady's necklace." ”

Women's necklaces? Zhong Qing and the others looked at each other, and they didn't ask Hou Sheng, they all hurriedly left for the gatehouse, and said all the way: "It's the fourth lady's thing." Hou Sheng rushed back to report the news, and didn't tell him how to deal with this thing, he was afraid that he would be suspicious of the melon field and plums, so he had to wait for someone to come in the cold wind and bleak night.

Zhong Qing stepped over first, and when she saw the necklace in her mouth, she didn't feel weak under her feet, she naturally saw this chain, it was a gift from her aunt Li Lanzao to Wanchun.

I can't imagine that it is really Wanchun's thing - the thing is there, the person is not there, and something must be wrong.

Jin Li has a necklace that she bought at the same time as Wanchun. At this moment, she also recognized it, because she didn't know how to hide it. immediately shouted: "This is Sister Wan's necklace, it's hers!" Aunt. There's news, there's news from Sister Wan. ”

Yu Shi choked up a few times, took the necklace from Zhong Qing's hand, looked at it carefully, and said with a hole under Fang Leng: "The necklace will be sent back this time, naturally there is a request to mention, and the person who sent the thing did not go far in order to confirm that the necklace was delivered correctly, so I sent someone out to search for it." Seeing that all the suspicious ones were arrested and tried well, I don't believe that I couldn't find the real murderer! ”

She did things seriously, and her courage did not lose to her husband Li Lanfeng, Tan Rulin and Bo Alcohol Zhongqing were all nodding when they heard the words, and they hurriedly asked people to go out and search along the nearby streets according to Yu's wishes.

Let's say that Xiang Xiaoyun in the big paradise asked Du Jiu to hang up the phone, and asked him with a smile in surprise: "It's looking for your phone, what." Are you busy? ‘

Du Jiu had actually been listening outside for a while, and knew that it was someone from the Li family who came to ask about Wanchun's whereabouts, and he was fully prepared for this situation, but he was not afraid of anything. smiled at Xiang Xiaoyun and said, "Busy is not very busy, it's just that the second brother is not as idle, and now he has time to play dumb riddles with others." ‘

Item 2 is noncommittal. gave up the position behind him, but he sat on the rosewood Taishi chair beside him. He lifted the hem of his robe high, sat down with his feet crossed, and said, 'Have you caught anyone you can't catch in the past two days?' Ask people to come to the door and point their noses and scold. ‘

Du Jiu pretended to be confused, stretched out a hand and dialed the microphone of the phone, as if he was looking for the best position to put it right, and then smiled after a while: "Second brother, don't you know the principle of my work?" Ninth brother, I never arrest innocent people. Whoever wants to scold, have the courage to let him scold in front of me Du Jiu, and let me Du Jiu listen to it freshly. ”

Xiang Xiaoyun looked at his rogue posture and smiled silently against his brows. Because he had just returned from an errand in other places, he really didn't know about the situation in Shanghai, and his father-in-law also said that this great paradise was handed over to Du Jiu for supervision, and it was not good for him to meddle in his affairs here, so he had to omit this matter. Seeing that he was dressed in a white shirt and covered with a silver and gray horse coat with dark gold flowers, which did not look like a hospitality, he asked, "Have you come back from outside?" I thought you were handling Miss Li Yujun's funeral downstairs. ”

Du Jiu didn't answer directly, after putting the phone away, he saw that the heavy velvet curtain of the big glass window had not been closed, so he went over and pulled the curtain slowly, and asked Xiang Xiaoyun: "Except for me, do they know about your return, big brother?" ”

Xiang Xiaoyun shook his head, took the pliers on the table in front of him and said while knocking on his walnut clothes: "Big brother doesn't know yet, the third, fourth, and fifth are sent out, and they haven't come back yet, my father-in-law went to Nanjing, and you are the only one who can talk in Shanghai, so I have to come to you first." He knocked a few times before he knocked out some scattered walnut kernels, and he didn't eat them himself, but put them on the glass plate on the table.

Du Jiu closed the curtain and walked over, and when he looked down, a wry smile slowly bloomed on his face, and the tip of his tongue was raised a few times before he sat down and said, "Don't knock, she's not here, I won't eat it here, it's a waste." ”

Xiang Xiaoyun's hand holding the pliers was unexpectedly stunned, and he was stunned for a moment, before he smiled self-deprecatingly, put down the pliers, patted the walnut dregs on his hand, and said, "It's hard to get into a habit." You too, don't eat walnuts, put so many on the table. ”

Du Jiu almost laughed, pointed to the bag containing walnuts and said, "Look for yourself, who bought it?" ”

Xiang Xiaoyun looked at the words he wrote on the bag, and suddenly laughed, clapped his hands and said: "I don't want this brain after all, I forgot to clean up the things I bought." "When it comes to that person, he's always going to make some unnecessary confusion.

Du Jiu has been with his brother for so many years, so he naturally understands his suffering, lights a cigarette and holds it in his hand, looks at the lingering charm on the cigarette butt, and only said to Xiang Xiaoyun after a while: "Forget what you should forget, she is now our sister-in-law after all, you always have to ......" always have to take care of the eldest brother's face.

When he said this, the meaning has been completely expressed, why is Xiang Xiaoyun not clear? Just because he knows it too well, he always avoids the eldest brother and them, but he is always a little reluctant to let the younger brother enlighten him like this, so he asked Du Jiudao: "Don't just talk about me, what about yourself?" After so many years, how have you ever let go? ”

Du Jiu just put the cigarette to his mouth before taking a puff, and when he heard this rhetorical question, he immediately choked and coughed, and pointed his finger at Xiang Xiaoyun twice from a distance, as if he was blaming him for not mentioning this matter.

Xiang Xiaoyun shook his head and smiled, people are so contradictory, they are always obsessed with bystanders.

The two brothers haven't seen each other for more than half a year, and this time Xiang Xiaoyun sneaked back to Shanghai silently, Du Jiu couldn't help but ask him: "The things in the north have been solved?" ”

Xiang Xiaoyun nodded, and suddenly shook his head again, there are rules on the road, he went to other people's territory to do things, where would he be so satisfied? But after all, the Qing Gang is famous, and people from all walks of life will still give some thin noodles to the second master of the Green Gang, Xiang Xiaoyun said: "It's not going well, the old guy is too slippery, and the cunning rabbit is three, we pounced, and only found one of his cronies, just staring inside and out." The old guy in his mouth was Xiang Shaolin's henchmen, taking advantage of their brother's absence, he dared to plot to assassinate Xiang Shaolin, in a vain attempt to get involved in the position of the boss of the Green Gang.

However, he ran fast, and knew that the matter was exposed, so he took a boat overnight to smuggle to England, and then smuggled back from England, creating the illusion that people were still abroad. Xiang Xiaoyun chased him for more than half a year, and finally locked him in the north, it was only a matter of time before he found him, and this trip could be regarded as a high degree of hard work.

While he was talking, there was a knock on the door outside, and Du Jiu sat on the black leather sofa chair and raised his voice to order someone to come in. The bodyguard who knocked on the door bowed to him and whispered, "Ninth Master, Guo Mazi said that Miss Mei did a strange thing today, and I want to ask you what you mean and what to do with it." ‘

'Miss May? Which Miss May? Du Jiu couldn't figure it out for a while, and his sword eyebrows were furrowed into Sichuan characters and asked.

The bodyguard's face froze, and he paused before replying to him: "It's our own Miss Mei Ruolan Mei." ‘

Du Jiu suddenly realized that since Mei Ruolan stayed in the Great Paradise with all her heart, he has always called Mei Ruolan you, and rarely called her by her name. As time went by, I forgot people's surnames, so I asked the bodyguard to remind me and asked, 'What's wrong with her?' ‘

The bodyguard didn't dare to speak, and just glanced at Xiang Xiaoyun out of the corner of his eye. Even though Xiang Xiaoyun and Du Jiu are sworn brothers, but the two have different division of labor, it is always difficult to know things that should not be known, he didn't wait for Du Jiu to speak, he stood up and said with a smile: "If you have something, I won't be an eyesore here, go downstairs for a transfer." I haven't been back for more than half a year, and I don't know if this place has changed. ”

Du Jiu said with a smile behind him: "The change hasn't changed, it's just that a few newcomers have come, and they still need to be carved, the second brother has nothing to do to go down and give me long eyes, if you can't stay, don't delay, you can change to a quiet place as soon as possible." ”

Xiang Xiaoyun raised his hand backwards, indicating that he had taken over the task, and pushed open the two iron-like doors and walked out safely.

Seeing that there was no one on the left and right, the bodyguard said to Du Jiu: "Guo Mazi, who followed Miss Mei as a secret guard just now, came back and said that Miss Mei acted very strangely today, since she came out of Shikumen, she went to the dock, found a porter, stuffed him with something, I don't know what to explain." Guo Mazi was suspicious, so he sent another person to protect Miss Mei, and he followed the worker, and when he arrived at the place, he knew that the worker went to the Fengqiao Mansion. I was afraid that I would be so close that people would notice it, so I couldn't go up to see what he handed to the official residence, because I was worried that something would go wrong, so I reported it and asked the ninth master, do you know about it? ”

Du Jiu's eyes were dark, his palm slapped down on the table, and he asked him directly, "What about the person who handed over the things?" If you catch it, if you catch it, bring someone to me! (To be continued.) )
