A blood-red moon hung high in the night sky, surrounded by a dead blackness, and the cold and damp air filled the air with a strong smell of blood.

Chu Qiao woke up, only to find that he was in a cold and gloomy swimming pool, and he looked up at the blood-colored moon in the dark night.

As if touching something similar to hair, she subconsciously raised her hand, but she was afraid that she was holding a handful of jet-black hair in her hand, her blistered white scalp was pulled up high, the empty dead man's eyes were staring at her fiercely, and the blood in the seven orifices slowly flowed down her arm.......

"Whew-"

She woke up suddenly, let out a long breath, took her phone and looked at the time, it was only four o'clock in the morning.

"What's wrong?"

Yi Qingchen reached out and pulled her back into the quilt after sitting up, and stroked her hair, "Have a nightmare?" ”

"Hmm."

She nodded a little tiredly, "I dreamed of Song Wan's head, which stained the blood of my hand." ”

"Maybe I saw that thing last night so I kept thinking about it, thinking about it day and night, it's okay, I'm here."

Like a fawn, she burrowed into his arms and found the most comfortable position in his armpit.

"Why don't we go on a trip, take a break, you haven't traveled seriously together for so long, so many things have happened one after another, and you are really tired."

"Tourism? When? ”

"Go as soon as you wake up."

"Wait for the matter at hand to be solved first, otherwise the game will not be steady, the head is one, I still have something to tell you."

"Huh?"

"Sun Xiang's son was kidnapped, the other party asked her to lead me out alone, otherwise she would kill her son, I accompanied her down to pick up the car last night, if she hadn't told me about it in advance, I'm afraid something would have happened......"

Yi Qingchen's face became colder and colder, and there was a slight chill hidden in his deep eyes.

"Is she living too happily?"

"Don't blame her." Chu Qiao hurriedly smoothed his chest, "Being a parent is heart-to-heart, not to mention that she finally figured it out, otherwise how could I come back unharmed?" ”

"Be tolerant to all, it's God, not me."

"Trust me, she won't have a next time, I'm not telling you this to make you punish her, I just don't want to hide anything from you anymore." She still remembers the incident in the underground parking lot of the hospital last time, and the husband and wife need to trust each other, so she naturally doesn't want to have any conflicts with Yi Qingchen because of this.

"Actually, I want to help her find her son together, after all, it's obvious that this matter is coming at me, if you don't solve those people, they will definitely continue to go on endlessly, this time it's Sun Xiang, next time I don't know who it is."

"Did she tell who the other party was?"

"No, she seems to have been investigating for a while, but she found nothing, and the people behind the scenes should have the means to leave no useful clues."

Yi Qingchen nodded thoughtfully, took her into his arms again, and patted her shoulder gently, "Sleep, have me." ”

nestled in his arms, smelling the familiar breath, this sleep was finally safe until dawn.

When I woke up again, it was almost noon.

When the two went downstairs, Yi Shaoqing and Yi Shaojin had already returned, because the trip had been canceled because of what happened last night, and they were discussing with the old man in the living room.

"Any progress?"

"Not yet, all the clues are broken when they reach the dead front desk waitress."

"What about the one named Zhang Lulu? And that Manager Wei, did you ask any useful information? ”

Chu Qiao had just sat down, and Wen Yi'an happened to come in from the door, and picked up the remote control on the coffee table and tuned it to the news channel.

"In the morning, a sanitation worker found the body of a boy in a garbage bin not far from Sun's house, which has been confirmed to be Sun Xiang's son......"

The cup in Chu Qiao's hand fell to the ground with a "snap", and the broken porcelain slag and hot tea splashed all over the ground.

"Qingchen, I'll take a look."

"I'll be with you."

"No need, I'll come back when I go, and you stay here to deal with last night's incident with everyone."

Chu Qiao took the coat from Steward He, and Wen Yi'an followed him out.

"What's going on?"

Old Man Yi looked at her back suspiciously.

Yi Qingchen pointed to the boy's body hidden in the white cloth in the TV screen, "This is her friend's son." ”

Old Man Yi was silent for a moment and sighed.

When Chu Qiao arrived at the scene, the body had been carried to the car and sent to the morgue, the police were still investigating the scene, Sun Xiang was already crying and couldn't stand still, relying on the maid and the secretary to support her to stay in place, and the big wave of reporters were bombing her in turn, and her clothes were not relenting, and she seemed to never stop until she blew up some useful news!

"Do you still have a little bit of humanity!"

Chu Qiao's face was cold, and his eyebrows frowned deeply.

Wen Yi'an understood and ordered the bodyguards to isolate all the reporters.

"Mr. Chu......"

When Sun Xiang saw Chu Qiao, he could be regarded as having an emotional breakdown on the spot, the originally suppressed cry finally gradually became louder, crying heartbreakingly, his dry lips were like a long-dry land, his thin shoulders couldn't stop trembling, and he no longer had the neat and strong strength of the past.

"Miss Sun......"

She hurried over, but she didn't know how to comfort her at this moment, and the words of mourning and change would only make people's hearts more uncomfortable.

"Don't suppress yourself, cry loudly when you cry ......" This sentence was once said to her by Yi Qingchen, but Chu Qiao paused halfway through speaking, there must be someone around her who can cry and laugh willfully, but Sun Xiang, she didn't.

The grief-stricken whimpering sound was heart-wrenching, and Sun Xiang's mouth muttered his son's nickname over and over again, and the remorse in his heart almost drowned him.

"Help me, please help me find my son's murderer!"

"Hmm." Chu Qiao patted the back of her cold hand, "I will, I will definitely find out the murderer from you!" ”

"Thank you...... Thank you ......."

"You're welcome, I'll send you back first, there are too many reporters here."

Sun Xiang nodded, and with the support of the two people beside him, he followed Chu Qiao to the door of the house.

Since the collapse of the Tang family, Sun Xiang and his son moved out of the Tang house, there were only two mother and son in the huge villa, and now the son is gone, looking at this familiar everything, she couldn't help crying again.

"I have lived for him all my life, and I have worked hard for him to fight for any money and status, I work so hard to be a good mother, so hard to give him the best life, God why, why do you want to do this to me!"

She was heartbroken and held her son's shoes, and big tears kept slipping down, wetting the upper of the shoe and penetrating it full.

Chu Qiao poured a glass of warm water and handed it to her, "Drink some water first, you have to take good care of yourself, take better care of yourself than before, since we are still alive, we have to continue to complete the unfinished business, life has to go on, I think your son doesn't want to see his mother like this, you have to be strong and find the murderer to avenge your son with your own hands!" ”

Let hatred become her spiritual pillar for the time being, so that she will not collapse.

Sun Xiang sobbed in a daze, causing Chu Qiao to follow a series of stalks.

Reluctantly stroked the children's shoes in his hand and nodded.

"You're right, I must personally break that murderer's body into pieces!"

"Well, I'll let Ian cooperate with you, and you can tell him anything." Chu Qiao put the re-drinking cup back on the coffee table.

In fact, she has always had an unclear speculation in her heart, and she always feels that these three things are inseparable, but there is no evidence for a while, so it is naturally difficult to say it indiscriminately.

"Thank you."

.......

"Mr. Chu, I'm a little worried."

Coming out of Sun Xiang's house, Wen Yi'an said what he thought in his heart.

"Worried she'll blame me for her son's affairs?"

"Well, in fact, if she didn't tell you about it last night, but let you go into that alley, maybe you would have had an accident last night, Sun Xiang was beaten for it, and her son died today, normal people will think that these two things are cause and effect."

"You can watch and deal with it, just pay more attention to this, she's quite pitiful."

"Yes, I see."

Wen Yi'an gently closed the car door for her and walked around to the passenger seat.

"Do you think these three things are too much of a coincidence?"

"It's a little bit, I was also thinking about it just now, Sun Xiang's son was kidnapped, there was a head at the engagement banquet, and then her son died today, this is not just a coincidence, but a terrible coincidence, by the way, did the waitress at the main desk who died find any clues later?"

"Not yet, there is no monitoring in the old residential building at all, the other party is prepared, so the traces have not been eliminated, it looks very professional, the only thing that can be determined is that this girl seems to be a little unusual with Manager Wei, there is a saying that this girl is Manager Wei's little lover, and his wife also stopped the girl on the way and slapped her twice, and there happened to be other colleagues at the time, and I saw it."

"Is that so?"

Chu Qiao crossed his arms and pondered for a while, "Pull the girl's body to the public security bureau, call the police to deal with it, let Manager Wei go to be investigated, and remember to ask his wife to make a record." ”

"But the old man means that the police will not interfere in this matter."

"It's okay, I'll talk about it over there, for housewives, the police are far more terrible than the soldiers, this matter must be more lively, you remember to inform the media."

"Okay, I got it."

"Are you going back to the old mansion?"

"No, send me to the Q Club, I haven't played two for a long time, I'm ready to get some cash, and the chips are always not so emotional."

Wen Yi'an nodded.

Chu Qiao got out of the car and stood quietly at the door of the Q club for a long time.

She and Yi Qingchen met in this place, which was still called Y Club at that time, and once became her nest.

The first time I saw him, I was amazed, there are many men in this world, but none of them can have this natural momentum on him, especially remember the appearance of him wearing a shirt and vest sitting on a high-backed chair and throwing chips, like a medieval oil painting, which can be called a masterpiece.

"Mr. Chu!"

As soon as Chu Qiao turned around, he saw that it was still the little brother who parked the car at that time, and he unconsciously showed a light smile.

"I haven't seen Mr. Chu for a long time, and I've been looking forward to you coming!" I have always liked Chu Qiao's generosity very much, especially now that she has become the new owner of Q Club, her words are even more enthusiastic than before.

"Long time no see."

She took a few stacks of RMB from the travel bag in Wen Yi'an's hand and threw them into his arms, "Do a good job." ”

"Thank you, Mr. Chu, thank you, Mr. Chu!"

The little brother nodded and watched Chu Qiao leave.

Since the destruction of the Tang family and the Blue Dragon Gang, there is only one large public casino left in the whole of Kyoto, the Q Club, which is also the most mixed place of all the places, from the basement all the way up, the hall, the private room...... All kinds of grades are different, whether it is from other places or local to Kyoto, but anyone with a little family background does not like to come here for entertainment, and the more people there are, the more topics this topic will naturally be, and all kinds of trails and lace can always make the gambling game more interesting.

And the most suitable for chatting, of course, is playing mahjong.

Chu Qiao's face is familiar, most of the people in Kyoto City have seen her on TV media or newspaper networks, especially since she has often been in such a place before, as soon as she sits down at this mahjong table, there are also people who want to climb the relationship and want to take advantage of this opportunity to set up a set of.

"Mr. Chu, I haven't seen you for a long time, it's really my luck to be able to sit at a table with you today, but with your identity, it's better to arrange a private room alone, and let's accompany you."

"yes, yes." Someone hurriedly chimed in.

"No need, it's good here, it's lively when there are more people, and I haven't been here for a long time, so I'm greedy for this excitement."

Chu Qiao nodded at Wen Yi'an, who understood, put the travel bag on the low stool on her right hand side and left.

"Okay, as long as you're okay, we're fine here."

After a few rounds of mahjong, the words of the other three people, who were not very open, gradually increased.

"Mr. Chu, don't you know, the Wang family is embarrassed to be thrown home this time!"

"The Wang family?"

Chu Qiao's hand slammed, "Which Wang family?" ”

"Which Wang family can it be, just the sister and brother." The man who spoke sneered meaningfully.

"Oh...... It's this royal family. Wang Manlu and Wang Xu's sister and brother are completely discredited, so she gradually alienated Wang Xu, after all, people with this kind of quirk generally have a bit of a psychological problem, and it is a hidden danger after all.

"Then what's wrong with the Wang family? Why didn't I hear anything? ”

"You can hear this, such an unpopular thing is also spread here under us, this Wang family sister and brother have not been stirring up, as a result, Wang Manlu has it, Wang Xu is not allowed to live, do you know what this sister and brother can give birth to, but Wang Manlu just refused, and then it made a fuss, just half a month ago, listening to the words from the people of the Wang family, Wang Manlu lit his room with a fire, saying that he wanted to show Wang Xu a corpse and two lives, and guess what?"

Chu Qiaozheng listened to it, pinched the cards in his hand for a long time, and asked vigorously, "What's the matter?" ”

"It's not dead to die, I heard that it was burned and disfigured, and the child is gone, and now Wang Manlu has a bandage on his head all day long, and he hides at home without leaving the door, Wang Xu doesn't want to see her anymore, and he found a woman to raise outside, I heard that Wang Manlu fought as soon as he saw Wang Xu, so that Wang Xu didn't dare to go back to Wang's house."

"Really? 30,000 ......"

"That's, it's true, that's what their family said in person, several people have seen Wang Xu, and now he has moved to Jingyuan Villa to live there, I heard that the woman she raised is still a third-rate star, and she looks very attractive."

Chu Qiao teased and hooked the corners of his lips, "You said that I too, I haven't been out for a long time and I'm completely derailed from your big society, it seems that I will have to come out and walk around more in the future." ”

"You, the noble man is busy, if you want to play mahjong in the future, just call our brothers, and we will guard it every day in your Q club!"

"It's still the enthusiasm of the people in this casino, and the atmosphere is good when you look at it, so it's decided."

Chu Qiao listened to several hot and small matters that happened in Kyoto recently, and estimated that the time was almost up, and he withdrew after losing tens of thousands of yuan.

When I returned to the old mansion just in time for lunch, the family sat around a table and was waiting for her.

"I'm sorry, I'm late."

Chu Qiao glanced at his position, but he didn't see Yi Qingchen, and swept around, "What about the Qingchen people?" ”

"I said I was going out for something, and I didn't come back for lunch, didn't I call you?"

She hurriedly took out her mobile phone and looked at it, "My phone is out of battery, he may not be able to call in, let's have dinner if it's okay." ”

"Shaojin, come out with me after dinner."

"Okay, go shopping?"

Yi Shaojin showed his heartless trait to the fullest, and did not affect his mood at all because of last night's events.

"Well, go shopping."

After lunch, the two of them left the old house, and Yi Shaojin said: "Actually, today, I also have a place where I need you to accompany me on a trip." ”

"That's right."

While Chu Qiao was driving, he told Yi Shaojin about the Wang family sisters and brothers he had just heard, only to hear that the latter was dumbfounded.

"This Wang Manlu is too capable! I thought you were kind enough to let her go, and you would be able to live a non-stop life, but it's good, and you directly disfigured yourself, this sister and brother are also wonderful, but ...... What are we going to do at Wang's house? Her disfigurement is her business, let's make a big trip, I have a headache when I see Wang Manlu, the matter of the dzi last time...... "The matter of the dzi last time was Yi Chenxue, who she and Chu Qiao and Wang Manlu framed together, and there were constant rumors at that time, if the two of them were seen going to the Wang family at this time, I am afraid that they would be turned over again, and the relationship between her and Song Meijiao began to collapse because of this incident."

"Didn't the dzi let Yi Chenxue steal it?" Chu Qiao said with a smile: "I have something to look for Wang Xu, and I don't have anything to do with Wang Manlu." ”

"By the way, where are you going for me to accompany you? It can't really be shopping, right? ”

Yi Shaojin suddenly quieted down and hesitated: "If I say it, you won't blame me." ”

"You're not going to let me go with you? How do I know where the car is going, if you don't say it? ”

"That's what it is...... Go to Kyoto Women's Prison ......"

Chu Qiao braked suddenly, and then stepped on the accelerator again, "Okay, okay, I'll just go with you." ”

"Actually, I don't want to go, but no matter how I say it, she is Shaoqing's own mother, and the mother of a child is a mother, no matter how wrong it is, it is also a mother, in fact, I still sent someone to send her yesterday's invitation, so I let her leave a thought, I can't do it more, I brought some candy, and I will buy something for her to send later, which can be regarded as benevolence and righteousness."

"I understand."

Almost all of the recent events happened next to each other, so Chu Qiao had to wonder if there would be something wrong with Wang Manlu's matter, so he decided to go and take a look in person, but as soon as the two of them entered the door, they were almost smashed by the mobile phone flying in front of them, but fortunately, both of them had practiced and finally survived.

In the living room, a woman with a mummy-like face was constantly smashing things at Wang Xu, and this is how the mobile phone flew just now.

"Mr. Wang's hospitality is really unique."

"Mr. Chu, my Chu beauty, you finally appeared! I'm here looking forward to the stars and the moon! ”

Wang Xu was once blacklisted by Chu Qiao, and he didn't communicate for several months, and he didn't even call him when the child was full moon, which provoked Wang Xu to ask everywhere privately if he had offended Chu Qiao, and at this time she came to the door in person, and his mood was instantly better, and the smile on his face was brighter than a sunflower.

"Someone! Take her upstairs first! ”

Wang Xu pointed at Wang Manlu, who immediately glared at him viciously, grabbed a fruit knife from the table and was about to stab at him.

Those eyes were the only place where the whole white-bandaged face showed emotion.

Chu Qiao subconsciously frowned, she always felt familiar, and she didn't know if it was because she had dealt with her before.

"Bastard, why are you still stunned! Tie me up and go upstairs immediately, what if I hurt Sister Chu? ”

"No need, I'll just sit and go." Chu Qiao looked at Wang Manlu and pretended to be curious, "By the way, who is this?" ”

"Alas...... Don't mention it. ”

Seeing Wang Xu's unspeakable face, Chu Qiao didn't continue to ask, but glanced at Wang Manlu from time to time with a deep meaning, as if he wanted to see something from this bandaged face.

"Sister Chu, you came today to find me something?"

"It's a bit bit, some of the group's business is just what your company can pick up, so why don't you stop by to say hello to you, and then you go to Q Group to find my assistant, and he will help you arrange it."

"I knew that you were my lucky star, and I would give a big list as soon as I came, so how can I thank you!"

"When you see the outside, it's all your own people."
