Seventy-seven. curious
Shao Yin, who was originally excited to go home with me, suddenly received a phone call, and his expression became solemn. I could see that the original joy on her face disappeared in an instant, and while she was talking on the phone, she also carefully watched the change in my expression from time to time, and then hung up the phone after asking a few words very carefully.
"What's wrong?" I looked at her with a smile as if I had done before. If it had been her, she would have shook her head indifferently and continued our conversation.
But this time it was an exception, she nodded solemnly, saying that she had to leave immediately, and insisted that she would contact me after that, and tell me not to take the initiative to go to her anyway.
"How did you make yourself so mysterious? Is something going on? I couldn't control my curiosity anymore and couldn't help but ask out loud.
Shao Yin glanced at me a little embarrassed, "This...... I'll explain that later. Three or two sentences are not clear. But don't worry, I really haven't caused any trouble, but there are some things that are not convenient to talk about right now, wait a few days, and I'll tell you all about it then. ”
It wasn't until she left without looking back, and carefully flagged down a taxi to leave, that I was really sure she was in trouble, and I am afraid it was not your average big problem. Does it have anything to do with that painting? I frowned, life like her was really not something I could understand, and if she did get into trouble, I was afraid that I would be involved in it too. But I'm more curious, who will provoke someone like Shao Yin, who is not afraid of heaven and earth? Whose life is she involved in this time? That painting definitely didn't belong to hers. I'm afraid it's also her choice after careful consideration.
When I returned home, I didn't expect Qin Ming to be waiting there, and when he saw me coming in from outside, he greeted me excitedly and said in a loud voice: "Aha! Our appointment has returned. Tell me, who is that person you're seeing? Is it male or female? What is he looking for you for? How's that meal going? Isn't it ......"
"Of course, it was all about the painting, and I met an acquaintance. You know that, too. I frowned, his performance this time was a bit exaggerated, right? As soon as I came back, I asked questions like this, and it must have been Lin Zi who had mentioned the day's events to him from beginning to end.
"Someone I know too? Who else could it be? It can't be the one who couriers you with that painting, right? Who would be that rich? Qin Ming was stunned. He was stunned for a moment and said, "You know and I know." Someone who understands art and has to have money to buy that kind of art...... Except for Xiao Ya, who else would have such high taste? ”
"Are you taking this opportunity to elevate your idol status?" I glared at him helplessly. This guy's skin is really getting thicker. originally planned to say Shao Yin's name, but when I remembered Shao Yin's mysterious appearance. And repeatedly said that she should not be mentioned in front of outsiders no matter what. I could only sigh and shake my head: "It's nothing. You'll see her when the time comes. Why didn't you go after your big star? ”
But I don't know why, when I said this, I saw Qin Ming's expression a little weird.
"Star chasing can't be eaten. Doesn't I have more important work to do? Qin Ming said with a smile, he took the glass of water handed by Lin Zi and sent it to me and said, "Say, I've already seen that painting." And also brought a news related to that case, I don't know if you are interested. ”
"Huh?" I was stunned, Qin Ming has never been a person who likes to go around in circles, but today he looks a little weird, "What do you want to say?" What's the news? Or is it something to do with that one...... What else could there be in the news? ”
Qin Ming took out his mobile phone and read it, at first it didn't attract much attention to me, it was said that the lover of a wealthy man in the southern city eloped with his bodyguard, and at the same time carried a large amount of money, including some property. Later, the news mentioned that he was a lover of calligraphy and painting, and that he had collected a lot of works.
"Looks like something like this happens every day, right? In the city we live in, there seem to be many such rich people, right? I glanced at Qin Ming curiously, but at the same time, a feeling of uneasiness began to spread in my heart.
Qin Ming nodded and said, "That's right, if such a thing happened here, of course there is nothing strange about it, in fact, there is nothing strange about it happening in that city, because it was once considered a rich man's manufacturing factory." It's strange that this seems to be a search warrant issued by the rich man, not only did he not report the crime, but at the end of the news, he said that he hoped that the lover he had adopted would change his mind and return to him again. ”
"Do you think this person is a slut? Everyone has rolled up his money and plans to run away with others, why is he still so generous? Lin Zi interjected on the side and asked, "This is really a disease, it needs to be cured?" It's really strange, can such a person be a rich man? ”
"The strange thing is not this news, but Xiao Ya also mentioned this matter to me today, she said that the rich man used to be an acquaintance of hers, and that person had asked her to find a way to find out the whereabouts of his lover after returning to this city. Now I wonder, what kind of person can make a man so generous? Qin Ming frowned, as if testing my reaction.
I was stunned. Qin Ming is not a person who likes to talk around the bend, but now that he is speaking so implicitly, he may have only one purpose. Looking up at him, there were some questions I didn't dare to ask anymore.
"When she said that name, even I was shocked. She said it was your good friend Shao Yin......" Qin Ming spread his hand towards me and said, "Don't tell me, you've heard the news......"
No wonder he hesitated before, but now he finally understands that he is testing my reaction and trying to get the truth out of my mouth. Just look at Lin Zi's surprised expression, you know how much such a thing will surprise everyone.
"In fact...... I did see her, but this is the first time I've heard the news. How could she possibly do such a thing? "I felt like I had finished digesting such shocking news, so even my expression became a little distorted. (To be continued.) )
