Bang bang bang –

"Please come in." Hearing a knock on the door, Shi Ran looked up and answered.

Yang Qianye walked in, his hands naturally hanging in front of him, and bowed slightly.

"Manager, it's three o'clock, can I go?"

"Oh yes, you told me in the morning that you wanted to take a leave of absence......" Shi Ran closed the document and showed a signature smile, "Go ahead, inform a few directors, and see who you hand over to first." ”

"Thank you, manager, I told the little rabbit about it, and she helped me watch. Call me if there is something at the company and I'll be back as soon as possible. ”

"It's okay, you don't have to come back, I'll help you sign attendance then."

"Thank you, manager."

Chiba turned to face out, and was stopped again.

"Chiba ......" Shi Ran obviously adjusted the position of the items on the table unnaturally, put the pen from left to right, and pushed the teacup out a little, "Look at the entry information that you are not a local, do you have any relatives and friends in Lucheng?" ”

Chiba was shocked, but remained silent. She knew that Shi Ran's question was not the concern of her superiors for her subordinates, and now was not the time for chatting after dinner, so she must have ulterior motives. What made her even more alarming was that Shi Ran was now the object of a new mission, and his words and deeds were no longer as irrelevant as before.

So she cautiously replied: "No, I just want to work hard in Lucheng, there are many opportunities in big cities, and I hope to get ahead." ”

"Who's to say it's not, especially a company like Huanyu, everyone wants to squeeze in." Seeing her staring at herself with strange eyes, Shi Ran clenched her fists and coughed twice, "Ahem...... But it's not easy for a girl to come out and have no relatives and no reason, usually you have to pay more attention to your body. ”

"Yes, thank you manager for your concern."

"You are a good seedling, as long as you are willing to work hard, it is very fast to change from administration to business. Come on, more than one person praises you in front of me. ”

Of course, Chiba knew that the person who praised her more than once was none other than Steven, and smiled embarrassedly.

"I'm still far behind, I don't know a lot of things, thanks to the patience of my colleagues who are willing to help me. The director, in particular, has been teaching me and lending me books to read. ”

"Steven has a good eye for it, but there's one more person who has a good eye for you."

"And one more person...... Who? Manager you? She asked mischievously.

"Hey, of course I value you very much, and I'm very happy with you." Shi Ran said sleekly, "Your performance since joining the company is obvious to all, everyone says that it is the best among the previous assistants, and the boss also means this." ”

It turned out that the beautiful He Yina had a good impression of herself, and Chiba suddenly felt a little proud.

"I'm a little embarrassed about what you said...... So, if nothing else, I'll go first? ”

"Well, go ahead."

As soon as she left, Shi Ran closed the door, took out her mobile phone and dialed a string of numbers.

"How?" On the other end of the line, there was a voice from Heina.

"I asked, I don't have any relatives in Lucheng, and I don't look unusual, I'm very happy."

"Maybe I don't know yet." He Yina's tone was a little regretful, and she instead ordered, "No matter what, take care of her more in the future, after all, I was personally looking for her, and I made an exception to recruit her, and now that she is gone, I have to take good care of her." ”

"Understood, boss, rest assured."

"That's it, bye-bye."

"Bye."

In the middle of his call, Chiba had already gone straight to "one less knife".

was intercepted by Grandma Wang yesterday, and she made up her mind that she had to find Shangguan Yu today. She listed the doubts one by one, arranged them logically, but not on paper but in her head.

With Master Shangguan's amiable attitude towards me, I should have said some valuable information - she thought so.

On weekdays, at half past three in the afternoon, it is said that it is not a bustling time, but the street where "One Less Knife" is located seems to be particularly lively. Pedestrians stand on the sidewalk in groups of three or five, and the more they move forward, the more they gather. They resemble enthusiastic readers waiting for best-selling authors to sign deals, like customers queuing up to snap up specials, or like devotees waiting outside the temple to enter the festival one after another – in short, it's very lively.

"Why are there so many people, are there any new stores that are doing promotions?"

With doubts, Chiba walked towards "One Less Knife" step by step, but was stopped by a cordon dozens of meters away from the barbershop.

Outside the cordon, bystanders craned their necks to look at the scattered people in police uniforms in front of them. They seemed to be discussing something, and a few of them were still taking notes, and the flashing lights did not make a shrill ring, but the fast-turning light was still terrifying to watch.

"What's wrong with the front, why didn't you stop it?" She asked a girl of about the same age beside her.

"It's dead, and there's a cordon in front and back."

"Ahh She couldn't help but exclaim, and when she looked closer, the attention of the police seemed to be focused on a shop with the words "One Less Knife" written on the sign.

Seeing that the onlookers were also unaware, she suddenly remembered the children's clothing store opposite and decided to go over and ask. But the cordon runs through both ends of the street, and the children's clothing store is also separated from it, and it is impossible to enter at all. In desperation, she moved across the street again, and actually found the owner of the children's clothing store in the crowd.

"Boss!"

The owner of the children's clothing store, who was slapped on the shoulder and focused on watching the bustle, was startled.

"Yang Qianye! It's you! You hear the news, don't you...... Tut-tut, I can't imagine that a good person is gone. ”

A faint ominous attack came towards Chiba, and she looked at the end of the "one less knife".

"Who's gone?"

"You don't know, Shangguan Yu is dead!"

For a moment, she felt that her eyes were full of gold stars and she was lightheaded.

"Ahh How did he die? ”

"Suicide, a shot in the temple, * all flowed out."

A hot, sour air flow in her stomach blocked the top of her esophagus, causing her to vomit. She fell to the ground with weak legs, and the owner of the children's clothing store hurriedly helped her up.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, they're all carried away."

"When?"

"Just now."

"Isn't there anyone else in the store? Isn't this time supposed to be in business? What about his apprentices? ”

She still couldn't believe that Shangguan Yu was no longer alive.

"I really want to find who can stop him, he cleared the scene at noon, and called the apprentices out, so he pulled the trigger and did something stupid." Tears flowed from the corners of her mouth, salty and bitter, and Chiba believed that the tragedy had really happened.

"Why, why did he do it?"

"You don't know?" The boss's tone seemed to think that there was no need for the police to investigate, and that all the reasons could be found out by looking for him, "He is sick, cancer, and the doctor said that it will take up to two months." ”

"Cancer!" Thinking of Shangguan Yu's energetic appearance, Chiba couldn't believe it anyway, "He looks so energetic, how can he be ......?"

"Eating grains gives rise to all kinds of diseases, and who is resentful. Besides, the old man was very stubborn, no one except the three apprentices said anything, he should shave his head, he should laugh and laugh, and others couldn't see that his days were running out. ”

Her vision became more and more blurry, and Chiba tried to rub the back of her hand, and found that it was all tears.

"Hey—" The owner of the children's clothing store sighed, not like a pity, but like there was something to be done.

He continued: "Shangguan Yu is quite pitiful in this life, since his daughter was killed, it is like a different person, it is estimated that this illness has completely crushed people, and he has no love before he goes to a dead end. ”

What Shangguan Yu went through, Chiba didn't have time to find out, at this moment she was tightly wrapped in sadness, and her consciousness froze.

She was saddened by the sudden death of such a kind and righteous old man, like the loss of a loved one.

At this time, a group of police officers drove three cars on motorcycles towards the scene of the incident. Several people got out of the car, one of them with a solemn face, supported by another thin man, with a handful of snot and tears.

"The mayor is here." Someone in the crowd said, "There is also the CEO of the Agu Group." ”

He Zhanting was supported by Qin Luo, and walked into the warning area sadly, but he didn't enter the "one less knife".

The mayor, accompanied by several staff members, entered the shop and soon came out to negotiate with the police officer.

"Lao He, it's a suicide, he took all the guys in the store out, and then shot himself."

He Zhanting was in tears, and it was difficult to even speak, and he was out of breath several times.

Seeing this, Qin Luo replied on his behalf: "The master was still shaving his head and trimming his face here before going to the office, who would have thought that such a big thing would happen after just leaving for a while." Fang Cai also said that Lushan Jiancheng wanted to go with him to escape the summer, why is this Shangguan Yu so stupid, hey! ”

"Brother Shangguan, Brother Shangguan, why can't you think about it so much, no wonder you have to let me come today, it turns out that I want to see you for the last time." He Zhanting cried, and the mayor personally stepped forward to comfort him by touching his shoulders and back, and the close relationship between them was obvious, "It's all to blame for my carelessness that I didn't find out that you had stupid thoughts. ”

"Lao He, don't be too sad, no one can persuade people to take this step at this age."

The mayor was not familiar with Shangguan Yu, and Shangguan Yu's death was an ordinary event for him.

"You don't know that my old brother has drilled the horns."

"I'm really not familiar with this Shangguan Yu, why does he want to die?" The mayor touched his almost bald head.

"Many years ago, his only daughter was killed, and the case has not been solved, and it has become a heart disease. Recently, I heard that I had cancer, which was advanced and spreading, and the surface was light and light, but in fact, the inside had collapsed, and I guess I had already had the idea of suicide. ”

"People can't be resurrected after death, I'll ask them to transfer the file out and check it again, if I can solve his daughter's case, it can be regarded as a consolation to the old gentleman."

"Yes, sir, you are still sick, you can't be angry." Qin Luo hugged He Zhanting worriedly, looking very struggling, "Shangguan Yu has made a plan to die, and I still want to see you again, it's not a pity." ”

"Did you tell Ina?"

"Well, I can't be in time for a meeting, and I said I'll go to the funeral home as soon as I'm done."

"When is there still a meeting?" He Zhanting said angrily, "Tell her to hurry up and take care of the funeral for Shangguan, and handle it well, as if it were her father's business." ”

"The old man is confused, isn't this a curse for himself." Qin Luo muttered.

"Shangguan has no family, just such a righteous daughter as her, she doesn't handle who does."

"Okay, don't worry, I'll call Miss right away."

Qin Luo nodded, and walked over to make a phone call.

He Zhanting looked at "One Less Knife" again, and said to the mayor: "He has no ability, only a few stinky money, and now it is in vain to want to do something." Please also ask the mayor to look at the thin face of the brother and give Brother Shangguan a posthumous gift. ”

"You say, as long as I can do it here, it's fine."

"'One less knife' is an ancestral heirloom of his family, and it has been counted for more than 100 years. Shangguan is a high-ranking person, although he knows many well-known figures, he never seeks fame and fortune for himself. I wonder if I can give 'one less knife' and make a name for it, and it won't live up to his hard work for most of his life. ”

"It's simple, give him the title of a century-old store and a well-known trademark, and go to the industry and commerce to fill out a form."

He Zhanting bowed his hand and couldn't stop thanking the mayor.

Qin Luo came back after making a phone call, and he instructed again: "The mayor is kind, he wants to give Shangguan the title of a century-old shop, go back and tell his apprentice to go to the industry and commerce to fill in the information, and then take some money in my name and give them a new one." The master is dead, and the apprentice still has to live, so let them do their business well. ”

"The old man is benevolent and thoughtful, Shangguan Yu has no regrets about having a friend like you."

"Hey, he's relieved."

"Let's go, go back to the office, they're still waiting." The mayor proposed to be very indifferent to Shangguan Yu's death.

He Zhanting bent down and raised his hand and invited the mayor to get into the car together.

"I'm delaying you, and you're still running this trip with me." He said apologetically, wiping the tears from his face.

"Yes, you should mourn the death of your old friend in time, and you are a person who attaches great importance to righteousness, how can you be indifferent."

The convoy left the scene, and the police investigation and evidence collection were also coming to an end.
