Because of Ban Que's reply, Xiaozhi suddenly got rid of the depression for many days, at that time I didn't have a chance to stimulate her at all, and I didn't want to stimulate her to change control, she hadn't been so happy for a long time. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info After lunch, he also took the initiative to take on the task of washing the dishes, and Wei Kai and the townspeople on the other side were speechless and looked at Xiaozhi's abnormality today.

"Xiaozhi, will you go to the rooftop to see the stars tonight?" Wei Kai said leaning against the kitchen door frame.

Xiaozhi didn't understand how he could have such a strange proposal, but I knew that there was something I wanted to know. I saw a strange smile on his lips, and I couldn't tell if he wanted to test the truth of the code, or if he really wanted to tell me. Xiaozhi didn't know that as another personality, I was sleeping in her because it was an agreement with Wei Kaizuo in private, but he asked a little strangely: "Didn't the boss say that during special periods, you can't go out casually?" ”

Wei Kai grabbed his hair, turned around and said: "I just casually made a suggestion, it rained yesterday, and if it is sunny today, the starry sky at night should be very beautiful, I want to share that beautiful landscape with you, but who knew that you were so faceless." ”

My heart is stagnant, do you share? It seems that there is news for me, but Ash, obviously just told himself not to disturb its hard-won happiness. But if it's a very important thing, missing it will put the two of us in danger.

"Nonsense." Xiaozhi was in a really good mood today, and he even chatted with Wei Kai: "However, it's been very dangerous recently, and there will be good weather after the danger is lifted." Besides, how can you see the starry sky in the city? ”

"That's right, I'm stupid." Wei Kai left the kitchen, and Xiaozhi looked at his back in a daze with the washed dishes. When I heard Wei Kai close the door of the room, Xiaozhi suddenly added my name: "Zizhi? ”

I was a little surprised, and Xiaozhi continued to shout: "Zizhi? ”

"Huh?" I heard my own voice.

"Zizhi, you are the one Wei Kai wants to invite to see the stars, right?" Xiaozhi's voice alternated in his ears, "He rarely talks to me so politely, so he knows you, right?" ”

Xiaozhi's question made me a little embarrassed, I didn't know how to get rid of this embarrassment, Xiaozhi stopped talking, and when she put the plate away in the cabinet, she said as if talking to herself: "If you want to go to the stars with him, you must tell me, I don't want to take control forever just because I like Banque, it's unfair." ”

Xiaozhi's words made me cry and laugh a little, and I knew to explain: "No, you misunderstood. It's just that during your summer sleep, I helped him solve a more difficult problem, so we got in touch a little, and there was no question of whether I liked him or not. ”

"But I didn't say you liked him." Xiaozhi's sly laughter appeared in my ears again, and I knew that I had fallen on the trap. Forget it, it's rare that she's happy today, and I don't care about anything anymore, but discuss with her to swap controls with her later.

"But what am I going to do to get you out?" Xiaozhi didn't refuse my request, and even discussed with me how the two of us could be reversed, "After all, if you wait for me to fall asleep at night, it will be too dangerous for the two of you to go out again, it's okay to say it usually, after all, it's a special period, you still need to pay attention." By the way, Zizhi, you know about the threatening letter we received, right? ”

"I know, and I've been following this for a long time." I'm talking to him in the same body, which must be terrifying to people who don't know the truth.

"What do you think about Zizhi? I always feel like people are hiding something from me. Do you say it's because the person who wrote the threatening letter really wanted to kill us? Xiaozhi's voice trembled slightly when she asked me, after so many days, things have become more and more intense, and the person who wrote the letter really seemed to live next to us and pay attention to our actions all the time, it really frightened her.

I sighed, "I don't have any ideas for the time being, but when I heard you say that it is possible to live next to us, I just agreed with it." "I care a lot about Xiaozhi's unintentional words, I always feel that her words are very reasonable, and when she says these words again, the boss's reaction is also very strange." However, there is no need to worry, you will be fine. "I comforted Ash, but in fact, the uneasiness in my heart was growing day by day.

"Therefore, Zizhi should be more careful. If you really want to meet, don't go out, just chat at home. Only then did I realize that Xiaozhi's previous words were all paving the way for the last sentence.

In the afternoon, everything was quiet, and in the evening, the boss called Zheng Min and said that he would go home later in the evening, it seemed that he was calling from a place where the signal was very bad, and the voice was always intermittent, and I couldn't hear what the boss was saying outside the phone. I finally ended the call, but in exchange for the silence of the room. "Did the boss find someone?" Xiaozhi looked at Zheng Min and asked.

"Maybe." Zheng Min shrugged, "I don't know what the boss is doing now. ”

"Why didn't we call the police?" Xiaozhi put forward his own idea, "Wouldn't it be better to let a professional person investigate?" ”

Wei Kai and Zheng Min were stunned, the two of them chose to remain silent and continue to do what they were doing, Xiao Zhi couldn't help but feel a little sad when he saw that no one agreed with his proposal. Just as she wanted to say it again, Zheng Min suddenly interrupted her: "The boss should have called the police, but in addition to relying on others to help, we also have to have a way to do it, right?" Xiao Zhixin nodded sincerely, temporarily deceived by Zheng Min. After that, Xiaozhi walked up to Wei Kai and pulled his sleeve. Wei Kai still didn't like physical contact with others, and took a step back: "What's the matter?" Because of the close contact, Wei Kai was a little uncomfortable, and the usual smile on his face was replaced by vigilance. Xiaozhi may have encountered such an embarrassing situation for the first time, and he was also a little caught off guard, and said with his hands in a chaotic gesture: "Well, Zizhi." ”

"Zizhi?" Wei Kai calmed down slightly, but he still stared at Xiaozhi vigilantly.

"Zizhi said she wanted to see you, but." Xiaozhi hesitated, "The boss is not at home today, you can go on a date in the living room." ”

Appointment? I was a little alarmed to hear Xiaozhi say this, what kind of devil has this girl been with lately. Weikai, who was standing on the opposite side, was obviously at a loss, and his eyes not only didn't know where to put them, but even the length of his neck to his face became red. Xiaozhi and Wei Kai stood face to face in the living room like this, if it weren't for Zheng Min's laughter behind them, the two of them didn't know how long they would have to stalemate like this.

The two of them turned their heads to look at Zheng Min at the same time, and Zheng Min stopped laughing and blinked his eyes without speaking.

At night, in order to give me more time, Xiaozhi went to sleep early, and before going to bed, she heard her laughing voice: "Zizhi, the date went well!" "It's so annoying to be teased like this. When he came to the living room, Wei Kai was playing a game in front of the TV. Because of Xiaozhi's indiscriminate ridicule, I now feel very awkward when I see Wei Kai, I believe it is the same before he sees me coming out, he actually turned his head to the side and pretended to cough twice.

"What's the matter with me, but I didn't let Xiaozhi find any flaws, thinking that the two of us were going on a date. But now Nizi has begun to suspect that we have something to hide from her. ”

Wei Kai turned around after closing the game interface: "The source of the letter paper has been found, I asked a friend to help me find it, you guessed it right, the letter paper does come from a good manufacturer - Clairefontaine in France, 90 grams of writing paper made of wood pulp." The color is white and has no reflective effect, suitable for writing with ink, it will not be smudged or transparent, the paper is smooth, but the speed of drying pigment is average, so on the first letter we received, in fact, the word "death" was rubbed a little, because this kind of fake blood pigment is still thinner than the general ink pick-and-match ratio, and it is not easy to dry, it may be the first time to write, so the person who wrote the letter also discovered this feature. But after the later experience, the letters we received after that never happened again, and the word 'dead' was written neatly and neatly. Because my dad can only get a small number of samples, he can't help with handwriting identification and the like. But in the case of a forgery, the letter is from the brand Clay Ark. ”

"Can I buy this brand in China?" I looked at Wei Kai and asked.

Wei Kai shook his head: "There is no counter of this brand in China, and occasionally you can see some relatively large art supply stores selling this brand of watercolor paper, but so far, my friends have not seen it in China, maybe there will be in other cities, but there is absolutely no in our city." And the letter paper is a few years old, and it must look like it has been yellowing for nearly ten years. If Clay Ark's letter paper is yellowed, it will basically take more than five years, and five years ago, there was almost no domestic channel except for going abroad to buy it. ”

"You just said the brand is French?" Wei Kai and I confirmed.

"That's right, the quality is good and the price is not cheap. If it was really ten years ago, it was still a niche brand in China at that time. ”

I thought for a moment and said, "Does that mean that the person who wrote to us had the opportunity to go to France, or to meet people who had come from France?" Didn't you ask your dad if any of the more literate people in the gang had ever been to this country during the ten years? ”

Wei Kai shook his head: "This is really hard to say, because there are often people who go abroad to hide for a period of time after causing trouble, and there are indeed people in Europe who have been, but it is not the best choice, basically they will hide in the surrounding countries more, and wait until the matter calms down and return to China." ”

"Is there anyone in the gang who is in the smuggling business?"

"There's no way this business can be without, right?" Wei Kai laughed out loud as if he had heard a particularly ridiculous joke: "But you think the letter paper was smuggled?" What a childish idea. Do you think we're running a stationery store? ”

"Shut up." I interrupted my unopened speculation with a blank expression, "I wanted to ask if any of the people in charge of smuggling had ever been affected by my father's affairs?" ”

Wei Kai thought for a while: "In my impression, Nu's father has never been exposed to this kind of business. So there's no connection between that piece of income and your family. ”

"Really?" I was lost in thought, which seemed to me not to be a good answer, but it was also the right time to help me solve another question that had puzzled me all along: "Wei Kai, my father, what did he do before?" ”

I thought Wei Kai would refuse to answer my question, but he was just surprised for a moment, and immediately replied: "Your father?" Like my father, he is in charge of an underground bank, and in fact, as long as he accepts the business here, he can be regarded as a solid successor. On the contrary, the smuggling matter has always been the responsibility of Banque's father. In this way, if the boss successfully supports the newcomer to seize the position, the business over there will definitely be readjusted, and the personnel will also be greatly replaced, then your suspicions are not without a little basis. When Wei Kai said this, he somewhat agreed with my thoughts, "I will find someone to find out if any of the people who did this back then echoed your conditions." ”

"But then again, if it was the person who was in charge of this business ten years ago, it should have been a good time in the organization, and at that time, the person who was willing to write letters on the stationery of Clay Ark should not be ordinary in terms of taste and knowledge, right? No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like a thug who fights and kills on the streets every day. "That's something I've never figured out. In fact, when Xiaozhi got the first letter, I noticed that there seemed to be some tiny marks on the letterhead, it seems that the person who wrote the letter used to use letterpaper to pad but wrote something on other thinner paper, so there were some traces left on the paper, but I couldn't see it clearly, and no one noticed this. However, this can also indirectly show that the owner of the stationery did not buy the expensive stationery of time as an ornament, but really used it at any time. It's just that now that it's a little downhill, I'll use these papers more sparingly. But he is unusually obsessed with writing threatening letters to us, as if he is stubbornly showing off to the boss that he still maintains his former glory, but the details on the letter paper reveal his current embarrassment.

Wei Kai couldn't straighten his back when he was smiling now, and after a while, he said to me, "You really watched too many movies, right?" Those who fight and kill every day are just peripheral thugs, in fact, if you start to become a small boss, you are slowly moving away from the beginning of life, and you need a decent image to go out on some occasions. Do you think that if you dress up like a gangster, when you go to talk about business, do you think anyone will believe that you are a businessman who can talk about business? So, in fact, the people who are in high positions in the organization, their dress and behavior habits are very different from what you see in the movie. You haven't seen my dad, if you really meet it on the street, it's no different from the middle-aged uncle who usually goes to the street to buy vegetables, it's not because he's down now, and he's been kicked out of power, and he didn't have a little bit of your so-called gangster aura before, just an ordinary person, but I went to talk about business with her, and when I really got to the business, there was no difference between me and ordinary businessmen, so even if you follow him every day, his chameleon-like ability will definitely make you can't see any flaws in her. ”

"But even if you dress up appropriately, some behaviors and habits will still not be changed, such as writing letters, and ask your father if he has such a habit?" I asked, staring into Wei Kai's eyes.

Wei Kai pursed his lips: "It's not true. ”

"That's not it. But people with this habit will stand out, right? "I thought about it, I think the feature of writing a letter should be very impressive, right?

"And." I added, "I don't think this person has any business with me after an accident, but he traveled abroad, or stayed abroad for a while. Otherwise, relatives lived abroad, so when the communication facilities were not very perfect at that time, letters were considered a more common way? "The time should be at the end of the last century, when mobile phones were not very popular, and it seems that many people would write letters to their relatives abroad. Therefore, it is also very possible to have such a relatively high-grade stationery. In this way, we have another feature, the person who wrote the letter has relatives living abroad.

Wei Kai suddenly stopped talking, and he looked at me coldly, as if he had thought of something.

"What's wrong?" I shook my hand in front of his eyes, "Did you think of something?" ”

Wei Kai shook his head, looking very nervous, and then he glanced at me, his pupils dilated a little more, and I felt his gaze behind me. I turned around and found that the town was standing at the door of our room looking at us, I don't know how much we listened to the conversation between us, but Zheng Min's words shouldn't matter, right? Although she and Ban Que are the ones who won for a while, we didn't seem to talk about any taboo topics. I turned around and said hello to Zheng Min, but I found that Zheng Min's expression was not very normal; "Did you think of someone who fits these characteristics?" I realized that the thing I just said should have made them think of someone who was qualified.

Zheng Min confirmed to Wei Kai with his eyes, I believe they have their own guesses now. Wei Kai nodded, and Zheng Min sighed and sat on the sofa next to me: "If that's the case, the person who wrote the letter is really similar to Ban Que." But maybe not for a few of us, or for a few of us. ”

"What are you talking about?" I listened to the difference and looked at Zheng Min, I was very depressed, everyone always said half a sentence in this way that made the other party seem to understand but not understand.

Zheng Min bit his lip and thought about it, and when he raised his head again, his face was terrifyingly pale: "This person is dead,"

"Dead?" I was taken aback by Zheng Min's answer.

Wei Kai looked at Zheng Min's hesitant explanation and didn't understand, so he simply took over the following words: "When it comes to those things in the shareholding list, we really don't have any candidates for reference, but when you talk about having children abroad, I think of a person." However, this person is not directly related to our two businesses, so we did not list him as a suspect in the first place. But when you said that his family might be abroad, and that there had been an exchange of letters, I suddenly continued to reach him. But he himself does not fit the characteristics you said. ”

"Oh?" I looked at Wei Kai and motioned for him to continue.

"He doesn't have much culture of his own." Wei Kai thought for a moment, "But it's also really different. Unlike what I just said, he is the kind of person who has never been on his body, but he has always played a very important role. Actually, it's not that he doesn't have that strength, it's just that he seems to have some problems here. Wei Kai tapped his head with his index finger.

"Spiritual?" I asked tentatively.

Wei Kai nodded: "That's right." But it's not a big deal, it's more like an unsociable person. You know, when almost everybody in the organization is cliqued, that person is just acting alone, and I mean forever acting alone. I forgot to explain that the department he belongs to is responsible for assassination. In terms of martial arts, he had an advantage, whether it was hand-to-hand combat or long-range shooting, he did very well, and he was even a legend in the organization at the time. It's just that his personality is not particularly good at words, and he is always alone, except for the mission, it is difficult to find his trace, he is like a killer who prevents the hiring, and he has no circle of friends, so no one has recommended him to the position at all. She herself seems to have lacked interest in these and has not been involved in any fight. I mean, even if people from both factions tried to woo him, or gave him money to kill the other side, he would refuse every time. He didn't get involved in the people and strife within the country, and all his tasks were assigned by your grandfather himself. His assassination missions are of a very high level. And in order to eliminate the evidence, he rarely kills people in the country. He would use covert methods to murder people abroad, and then quietly return to China, and I can't remember exactly who he assassinated, but this is something I heard from the people around me when I was young. ”

"Everyone calls him the mystery man." Zheng Min eased from the shock just now, "I also heard it when I was at that home, but at that time, the mysterious man was already dead. ”

"Is it already dead by then?" I was a little surprised by this result, I thought that when Zheng Min said that the target of the letter writer was us, the death of the mysterious man should be related to the fact that the boss killed many people, but, listening to Zheng Min's statement, almost when Banque's father took the throne, the mysterious man died. If the mysterious person is plotted, it should also be the force of Banque's side. According to common sense, this kind of threatening letter should also be sent to Ban Que's school, threatening the person who plotted against him. But the owner of the threatening letter seems to have mistaken the object of protection, and sent the letter directly to us, and if it was really like Xiaozhi, the person who wrote the letter lived with us. You should know that Banque doesn't live with us anymore. But why write to us? I don't understand why, unless. I looked up and asked, "Do you know how the mysterious man died?" ”

But when I said the question, both of them were stunned, and they tilted their heads to the side in sync, no longer making eye contact with me, and I continued to speculate: "Was he killed by Banque's father's forces?" ”

Wei Kai didn't speak. I 'chuckled' in my heart, and when my heart sank rapidly, another guess blurted out: "Was it killed by Xiaozhi's father?" ”

Wei Kai straightened his back in an instant, I sighed, it seems that I guessed correctly, no wonder when the two of them thought of that person just now, their faces suddenly lost blood. The person who wrote the letter was not mistaken. I lay on the back of the sofa and knew the answer, but I was not as nervous as when I didn't know anything just now: "Tell me, what happened back then, you know what to say." I know something that is too old to be more detailed, and you haven't heard of it, because we're all too young at the time. ”

Wei Kai adjusted his mood, but the smile on his face had disappeared, I knew that he was a little nervous, more likely to be afraid, after all, he was only a teenager, and it was impossible for him to remain calm when his life was threatened. He coughed to hide his embarrassment: "Your father, I mean Ash's father, and my father are both inescapable of the death of the mysterious man. As I said earlier, the characteristic of the mysterious person who is drunk is that he never forms a gang, and directly obeys the orders of the boss of the organization at that time, that is, Xiaozhi's grandfather. But I also said that Xiaozhi's grandfather handed over the underground bank to Xiaozhi's father, and married his daughter to him, which shows that in his heart, the position of heir really belongs to Xiaozhi's father. This inevitably aroused the dissatisfaction of the other faction, and the old man also thought about it, and knew that the other faction would start its own small actions, so he should have told the mysterious man in private, if someone was unfavorable to Ash's father, he would quickly cut through the chaos and eliminate the threat. But in fact, the other faction has also thought of this a long time ago, so it is not worth another secret operation, which is to assassinate the mysterious man. But the assassination process I listened to my father's big mouth, whether there is an exaggeration I am not sure, the only thing I can be sure of is that Ban Que's father made a fake move, it should be a special assassination of Xiaozhi's grandfather in advance, and then Sun Xutao went abroad, and then the inner ghost planted by Xiaozhi's father released false news, and the address of the price reduction was revealed to the mysterious person, and he also made some unsightly small actions, and successfully fooled the mysterious person and went to the fake location. Because the mysterious man has always been haunted and cannot be assassinated. But this time, with the help of their small actions and the traps set in advance, the mysterious people who had been waiting there for a long time after arriving at the agreed place were ready to kill the mysterious man, the legendary king of assassins. And after solving the mysterious man, it is equivalent to Xiaozhi's father is the most powerful protection, and not long after the mysterious man's death, Xiaozhi's family was tragically destroyed. And my father, in the middle of which is protected by my grandfather, the patriarch, Ban Que's father did not make a mistake, and my father's strength is not a threat to them at all. If you don't kill my father, you also let my grandfather owe a favor, and after the people on the road knew, my father didn't want to make any more plans, after all, he eliminated his worries and got a favor, which is not a good plan. (To be continued.) )
