Chapter 15 The World Evaporates
In this farce of the trial caused by the explosion of Jinjiutang Public Hospital, the prosecution withdrew the charges against Liu Jin because of insufficient evidence, the official was reinstated, and public opinion gradually subsided.
In the end, the toughness of the armed forces could not resist the cowardice of diplomacy.
The two victories of the Luzhou fleet should have been a grand event worthy of celebration and commendation, but under the guidance of the policy of "peace is precious" in Luzhou, this victory was concealed, but it was like the Luzhou fleet was the aggressor, even if it won the war and did not dare to make a statement, but must agree to the indemnity treaty, but the number of indemnities is no longer so appalling, and erasing a zero is regarded as a consolation for the damaged merchants. This amount is still like words, Liu Jin no longer insisted, and worked with the Luzhou Treasury to make this money, but it was just a matter of breaking the fortune and eliminating the disaster, and calming the matter.
After triggering a series of butterfly effects, the dust finally settled, and Shinichiro Kitano, as a negotiator, was urgently recalled to China. The consular power has returned to the name of the Japanese embassy and consulate, and the current consul is the father of Asada Chidai, and Liu Jin does not know whether it is a blessing or a curse for this matter.
More than a month later, most of the ruins of the Jinjiutang Public Hospital have been cleared, and the investigation into the explosion is nearing completion. The truth of the incident is shocking - the warehouse where the medicines were stored accidentally exploded and caught fire, igniting the stock of medical alcohol, and coincidentally, the hospital was renovating and painting the columns and decorative wood, and the flames ignited the paint and freshly painted wood decorations, and soon engulfed the entire wooden building. As for why the drug warehouse exploded suddenly, the scene has been burned to the ground, and there is no evidence at all, but no one cares about this matter, compared to the cause of the fire, people are more concerned about Lin Wanjing's safety.
Among the bodies of the victims found at the scene of the fire, none of them can directly prove that it is Lin Wanjing, and Liu Jin has never mentioned this matter, nor has she mourned or mourned, as if she has always been in Yukuntai and has never left.
Even if everyone knows that this is just his beautiful vision, maybe he just doesn't want to face it, so he chooses to escape. But no one wanted to disturb him, preferring to accompany him to have such a wonderful dream.
also doesn't believe that Lin Wanjing was killed in the fire, as well as Li Lingrui, who has just returned to Luzhou, all the black market intelligence networks have a high reward issued by him, and he buys all the clues about Lin Wanjing with a lot of money. This kind of overwhelming search is still effective, and information is pouring in, but most of it is secretly placed in the company's mailbox, and very few people use information to receive bounties. But most of this information is useless after screening, and as time goes by, the information becomes less and less, and there are more and more flowers and incense candles given to Lin Wanjing on the temporary memorial wall set up outside the ruins of the hospital.
Seeing that the scope of the unsearched search was shrinking day by day, Li Lingrui's heart became tighter and tighter, he didn't know how many people were like him, looking for Lin Wanjing's whereabouts, and he didn't know what the purpose of those people was, whether they were friends or foes. All he knew was that if he didn't find her for a day, she would be more dangerous.
Another day of searching, still nothing.
Li Lingrui carefully crossed out the search area of the previous day, and his eyes fell on the corner of the bay - he suddenly remembered that he had received a letter earlier, indicating that Lin Wanjing was imprisoned in Qinyu, and there were even accurate coordinates.
Qinyu is a public concession, if someone wants to borrow the hand of another country to hide a person, Qinyu is definitely the best choice, and it is precisely because of this that if Lin Wanjing is really in Qinyu, it is the most complete situation at the moment.
This matter involves the interests of too many people, and Li Lingrui's investigation in Qinyu is cautious and progresses slowly. As time goes on, the safest place is becoming more and more dangerous now - for such a long time, there is no blackmail letter, and no one is holding her hostage, if Lin Wanjing is really kidnapped, he really can't figure out what the person who kidnapped her wants?
Seeing that almost every inch of Luzhou was about to be turned over by him, he had to take out this piece of information again and think about it carefully. Just when he was at a loss, the clerk hurried in and spoke:
"Boss, there is a nun and grandmother outside, saying that there is something very important and must be told to you immediately."
"Nun?" Li Lingrui frowned and thought about it, he did fund the welfare of several monasteries, but he rarely visited the door, although he was puzzled, he still said, "Bring her in." ”
After a while, the clerk led a nun in a black robe into the office, but even when she entered the office, she just lowered her head and didn't speak, Li Lingrui guessed that she probably took into account the presence of others, so she asked the clerk to leave the office first.
It wasn't until the office door closed and the footsteps of the high-heeled shoes in the corridor were far away that the nun raised her hand to take off her hood, raised her face, and looked at Li Lingrui.
Li Lingrui's brain suddenly went blank for a moment when she met her smiling eyes. Xu saw that he was distracted, and the smile in her eyes was deep, but before she could call him, he had already stepped forward and hugged her tightly into his arms.
More than 30 days and nights of reminders, caught off guard, the dust settled.
This reunion is like experiencing life and death.
The fear of not participating in business, the dazedness of having nothing to do, the luck of the rest of the life after the catastrophe, the ecstasy of regain, all kinds of emotions are intertwined and welling up in my heart, and a thousand words are too late to speak, and tears are red in my eyes.
After her emotions calmed down a bit, Li Lingrui looked her up and down several times as if she suddenly remembered something, and said in fear:
"Are you alright? Are there any injuries? Is there anything wrong with it? You wait for me, I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up right away! ”
Lin Wanjing had never seen him so nervous, so she smiled dumbly and said:
"It wasn't good at the time, but it's fine now."
Hearing her say that she was not very good, his expression suddenly froze, but when he heard her say that she was okay now, he put down his heart again, so he pulled her to sit on the sofa, poured warm water for her, and said with concern:
"Where have you been hiding for so long? Has anyone imprisoned you? How did you escape? ”
His expression was so serious, Lin Wanjing only felt that as long as she nodded, he had to lead someone to kill him immediately.
"No one imprisoned me." Lin Wanjing shook her head, and told the story:
"I don't remember much about the day I was sent to the operating room, the first time I woke up was in the ward, I was awakened by the sound of gunshots, and I vaguely heard two Japanese people talking at my bedside, one of them was wearing a doctor's white robe, and he took a needle to inject me, and in a daze, I saw a tattoo on his wrist, and it was here."
Lin Wanjing said, drawing a circle on the inside of the wrist of her right hand:
"It's like a three-petaled or four-petaled flower. When I woke up again in a Japanese-style room with tatami mats and was changed into a yukata, guess who I saw there? ”
Seeing that Li Lingrui shook her head as expected, she continued:
"Chidai Asada."
"You mean Yun Shuai's old acquaintance, Minister Asada's daughter?"
"Hmm." Lin Wanjing nodded, "She told me about the explosion at Jinjiutang Public Hospital, and her friend happened to be the doctor there and saved me." ”
"So coincidentally?"
"I lived in the Asada Mansion for half a month, she treated me politely, asked the doctor to come to recuperate my body, and the three meals a day were not bad, but I rarely saw her, and I didn't meet people next to me in the mansion, and my life was a little boring."
Lin Wanjing said it lightly, but Li Lingrui understood that where Qiandai Asada saved her, she kidnapped her at all, and then put her under house arrest.
Suddenly, one day, she told me that she saw that I was fine, so she asked me to freshen up and tidy up, and she asked a friend to send me to Yunrou. Then I met his friend in the living room, and I was going to go with him, but before I got in the car, I suddenly noticed a tattoo on the inside of his wrist, in the same place and with the same pattern as the doctor's tattoo that injected me. ”
"Are you sure it's the same?"
Lin Wanjing nodded seriously: "Sure, I heard the conversation between him and Miss Aada, the tone and voice of his speech are exactly the same as what I heard in the hospital, but unfortunately I can't understand what they are saying, but that man looks respectful to Miss Asada like a friend." ”
Li Lingrui listened to her, but his heart was gradually clouded with a layer of haze, and the four-petal pansy on his wrist was a tattoo of the Japanese Chamber of Commerce, and most of them were confidants. At present, the Japanese Chamber of Commerce is making waves and disrupting the market, and he originally thought that they were just taking the opportunity to make money, but now it seems that it is far from so simple. Thinking about it here, I heard Lin Wanjing say again:
"Moreover, if she is going to send me to Yun Rou as she said, it means that Yun Rou knows that I am still alive, and since he knows, how can he let me live there for half a month, and bother Miss Asada to send me back? Don't you need to surprise me like an Easter bunny? The more I thought about it, the more I felt that I shouldn't go with him, so I hurriedly took off the ring, excused me that I had forgotten it in the bathroom while washing, and turned back to get it. There was a window in the bathroom that looked towards the back garden, and I jumped into the yard through that window, and they probably didn't even think I was going to run away, so they didn't fortify the yard. I stumbled through the woods and fled to the monastery, where I was taken in by the abbot's mother. ”
