The beautiful and graceful piano sound is intoxicating, and the elegant and agile beauty is even more intoxicating.

In such an environment, sipping a cup of hot coffee is indeed a treat.

Mu Qiubai found a position very close to the piano and sat down, and Tang Zhenguo and I naturally sat at the sandalwood coffee table.

Mu Qiubai chose a very strange position, although he let himself be very close to the piano, but his back was to the pianist, it seemed that he did not have much interest in the beautiful pianist, his interest was in the music played by the beautiful pianist.

Tang Zhenguo sat on Mu Qiubai's left, while I sat opposite Mu Qiubai. Because of this, I can clearly see the pianist's side face, which is indeed a face as delicate as a carved piece of warm jade, flawless, refined, and beautiful.

Mu Qiubai called the waiter and ordered three cups of civet cat poop coffee. I objected on the spot, not because I didn't know it was the most expensive coffee in the world, but because I didn't have much of a liking for it.

Because I know that this coffee is extracted from the feces of civet cats and then processed. The civet eats the ripe coffee cherries, which are excreted from the body by the digestive system, and the coffee produced by the stomach is fermented by the stomach.

I think it's something else that has to do with animal waste. Although I am not taboo about the excrement of any living thing in the process of detection, I still feel a little resistant to letting me drink such things.

Maybe it's because I don't know how to enjoy it.

Mu Qiubai was not strong, so he exchanged three cups of Esmeralda coffee from Shangri-La Estate, Panama.

This Mu Qiubai was very strong, and he didn't even ask me and Tang Zhenguo if they were interested in this kind of coffee. However, Tang Zhenguo and I did not struggle with this issue, because I knew that Tang Zhenguo and I had the same understanding of coffee. A cup of instant coffee from a fast food restaurant and the world's most expensive coffee are put together, and apart from the different tastes, I can't feel the difference between them.

When the waiter went to prepare coffee, Mu Qiubai was already leaning on the back of the chair, his eyes closed, his hands on the sandalwood table, and his ten fingers beating with the melodious sound of the piano. I could tell that he was familiar with Beethoven's "His Lullaby", and every stroke of his fingers was precisely in tune with the sound. I can imagine that with his piano skills, he can play more beautiful movements.

"Mr. Ouyang, Mr. Ouyang." Just as I was listening to the beautiful sound of the piano and observing Mu Qiubai's movements, a cheerful and high-pitched voice broke into my ears.

The person who called me was none other than the little young master of Tianfu Group, Lu Feiqi, who was kidnapped a week ago.

However, although this Lu Feiqi is a young master, he doesn't look like a young master at all, but looks like an artist.

He had a large head, long black hair with curly hair parted in the middle, a beard, dark and shiny skin, and was obviously exposed to the wind and sun but knew how to take care of it.

His black suit and black big scalp shoes are in stark contrast to Mu Qiubai's white. Of course, his open suit revealed a white shirt, and in this regard, they still had a common color.

Lu Feiqi's somewhat bloated body quickly approached me, with a smile on his face, and his hands stretched out to me from afar.

I pushed away the chair and stood up, shook hands with him sideways, Lu Feiqi said with a smile: "Mr. Ouyang, I know that the old man invited you to board the 'Yangtze River Shenlong', so I specially came to meet you." After speaking, he looked at Tang Zhenguo and said, "Of course, there is also Mr. Zhenguo." As he spoke, he walked to Tang Zhenguo's side and shook hands with Tang Zhenguo very politely.

After a greeting, Lu Feiqi sat opposite Tang Zhenguo, his face was still smiling brightly, and the deep crow's feet made him look very sincere. I think this Lu Feiqi's mentality is good enough, he just walked from the brink of death, and walked out of the shadows so quickly, talking and laughing with people.

However, Na Mu Qiubai didn't pay much attention to Lu Feiqi's sudden arrival at this time, and still closed his eyes to listen to the sound of the piano and beat on the table. Only occasionally frowned at Lu Feiqi's demonic laughter.

Our Esmeralda coffee arrived, fragrant and tangy. Lu Feiqi stopped the waiter, called out a cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, and then began to talk to me earnestly.

He stared at me with round eyes, leaned towards me, and said earnestly: "Mr. Ouyang, can you tell me how you judged the location where I was held after I was kidnapped?" ”

Lu Feiqi's words obviously aroused Mu Qiubai's interest, he first looked at Lu Feiqi, and estimated that this slightly happy fat man had actually been kidnapped in front of his surprise. Then he took a sip of coffee, his action is actually the same as the people who eat melons waiting to watch the show, but the masses eat melons and he drinks expensive coffee.

Of course, what can you do in a café? There may be more love talk between men and women, and of course there are some idle topics between men and men, and the possibility of talking about love words is not ruled out. But I'm sure that the four of us men will definitely not talk about love.

In order to satisfy Lu Feiqi's curiosity, I took a sip of this rich and sweet coffee and said: "It is by repeatedly analyzing the recordings of the calls between your father and the kidnappers and you, and judging that you are in the container in the port through the sound of large machinery in the recordings, the sound of the ship's whistle and the overlapping sound when you speak. ”

Lu Feiqi sat up straight, opened his mouth wide, and then shook his head, and his long black hair also swayed, like a mop held upside down in his hand, being thrown around.

"It's just amazing, I'm going to put this plot in my book. Also, Mr. Zhenguo's flying knife technique, I have listened to the description given to me by the security captain, it is simply amazing, incredible. If Mr. Zhenguo hadn't shot down the kidnapper's pistol with a throwing knife at the last moment, I don't think I would have been able to talk to you here now. Hahahaha! Lu Feiqi said excitedly.

Mu Qiubai stirred it in the coffee cup with a small spoon, and then looked at Tang Zhenguo, his eyes were full of a curious expression, it seemed that he had finally become interested in Tang Zhenguo.

I asked Lu Feiqi, "You said you want to write it in a book?" What book to write? ”

Lu Feiqi grinned and said: "Mr. Ouyang, I won't tell you, although I was born in a family that has been in business for generations, I really don't like to do business, anyway, our family's business is in charge of the eldest brother and second sister, so I just want to be leisurely, I like to travel in the mountains and rivers, photography and painting, write novels or something." I was kidnapped before, because I went to the mountains and forests to collect wind and photography, and was followed and caught by the kidnappers. As for what book you asked me to write, I was going to write a novel about my experience of being kidnapped, and I rushed to the 'Yangtze River Shenlong' in a hurry to ask you how to solve my kidnapping case. ”

Now I understand why Lu Feiqi is dressed as an artist, it turns out that he, the rich second generation, is not to attract little girls in terms of appearance, but really a bit of an artist's cell.

I smiled and said, "Actually, the method of detection is very simple, but the gunfight is quite fierce, you can describe it in the book." ”

Lu Feiqi smiled mysteriously, took a sip of coffee and said: "Of course, the description of the shootout, in order to collect materials, I even got the surveillance video of the location where the shootout took place, but the focus of my description is still going to be put on the detection and reasoning, because no matter how intense the description of the shootout is, it is not as exciting as the gods fighting monsters in mythological stories." ”

Of course, I agree with Lu Feiqi's idea, because the reason for my work is, of course, to focus more on the description of detective reasoning. So I told Lu Feiqi that if there are any reasoning problems in the novel, you can consult me.

Lu Feiqi was very happy, replaced the wine with coffee, saluted me, and said that he must have a few drinks with me at night. This sentence seemed to suit Tang Zhenguo's taste, and he raised his coffee cup and saluted Lu Feiqi.

Lu Feiqi was extremely excited because he saw me and Tang Zhenguo, and only then did he notice Mu Qiubai at the same table, so he turned his head sideways and asked Mu Qiubai: "My name is Lu Feiqi, this gentleman doesn't know how to call him, you must also be a friend of Mr. Ouyang and Mr. Zhenguo, right?" ”

Mu Qiubai smiled and said, "Mu Qiubai, of course, is a friend of Mr. Ouyang and Mr. Zhenguo, and he is a very good friend. Mu Qiubai said and glanced at me and Tang Zhenguo with a smile.

Tang Zhenguo and I did not refute, but responded with a smile, on this 'Yangtze River Shenlong', which is not rich or expensive, one more friend is one more resource to make a fortune. Of course, that's not what I'm thinking, I'm just going with the flow, and it's obviously better to make a friend than to make an enemy. And this Mu Qiubai does not give me a bad impression.

Lu Feiqi said very happily: "That's good, that's good, since you are Mr. Ouyang's friend, you are my friend." Let me tell you, this Mr. Ouyang is a consultant of the criminal investigation team, and he has solved many big and special cases, and he is simply a legend. This Mr. Zhenguo is also terrible, it is said that a flying knife is as accurate as Xiao Li's flying knife in the novel. I've loved making friends with strange people all my life, but most of the strange people in this world are big liars who cheat money and sex. But I didn't expect that I experienced a kidnapping and was actually rescued by these two gentlemen. And my savior is the strange person I desperately want to befriend. So this kidnapping, I am really a blessing in disguise, a blessing in disguise! ”

Obviously, Lu Feiqi had already found out about me and Tang Zhenguo before meeting me. But it's really embarrassing for him to brag and elevate me and Tang Zhenguo in front of others like this.

I also noticed Mu Qiubai's expression at this time, he was not disgusted by Lu Feiqi's excessive boasting of us, but smiled, and at the same time looked surprised, as if he was very interested.

This kind of performance of his, I think only high-talented students who graduated from the Central Academy of Drama can perform so casually.

That's right, Mu Qiubai's series of expressions are all performing, in fact, he is already very impatient. Because his right finger would tap the coffee cup a few times from time to time, this tapping action of his had long since lost the ease and soothing he had when listening to the piano before.

But I don't understand, what is the source of his anxiety? Is it an aversion to Lu Feiqi's crackling nonsense? Or are you upset about me and Tang Zhenguo's deeds? If a person is upset with a detective for no reason, then there must be sin hidden in his heart.

Is there any evil secret hidden in Mu Qiubai's heart?

Tang Zhenguo finished his coffee in one gulp, looked at his phone, I knew that he was looking at the time, of course he hoped that the time would be evening as soon as possible, so he could also enjoy the wine he had dreamed of.

He rested his coffee cup on the sandalwood table and asked, "Is this really going on the river for seven days?" ”

Mu Qiubai nodded and said, "Of course, this 'Yangtze River Shenlong' is not an ordinary cruise ship, and the ship has already prepared the food, water, and supplies needed for seven days. The ship is advertised as a tourist ship, but in fact it is a private club for the wealthy, and it will not stop at scenic spots along the Yangtze River at all. In this clubhouse, it can not only become a good place for rich people to negotiate business, but also a place for rich daughters and children to contact and make friends with each other. As you know, in fact, many rich children can't make their own decisions about their marriage, and most of them need to find a suitable partner. Maybe they usually come into contact with all kinds of women with the image of the rich second generation, but when it comes to marriage, they will not casually pull on an Internet celebrity face to get married. This concept of being the right person is quite important in the eyes of these rich people. ”

This sentence seemed to speak to Lu Feiqi's heart, he sighed and said: "Mr. Qiubai is right, I have been wandering all my life, I have a beloved, but I am separated due to the obstruction of my family. It's helpless! ”

I listened to the sigh of this fat boy and looked at his somewhat depressed face, it was really hard to understand that in such a rich family, I couldn't escape the pain caused by love. Ordinary people are hurt in love, and most of them endure licking their wounds or start a new relationship. Maybe the rich will use a lot of money in exchange for more women to anesthetize their own pain!

Could it be that in the depths of every playboy's heart, there is a love that he will never forget?

I don't know much about love, I can't figure it out, and I don't want to understand it.

At this point, the piano ended, and the elegant lady slowly stood up and walked towards us.

"Qiubai, aren't you going to play a song?" The melodious voice reached my ears.

Mu Qiubai turned his head, looked at this beauty with a smile, and said, "Okay, you can sit here and accompany my friend." ”

Mu Qiubai turned his head after speaking, smiled at us, and got up and walked towards the golden triangle Steinway piano. His steps are brisk and gentlemanly.

The beauty sat across from me and smiled at me, which was really refreshing.

Lu Feiqi's gaze at this time completely fell on this beauty, and this beauty did not avoid Lu Feiqi's eyes at all, but smiled politely.

This smile made Lu Feiqi's body tremble, as if he had been touched by electricity. His eyes were even more obsessed, as if they were about to fall on this girl.

I rang the service call bell on my desk, and immediately a middle-aged man in a tuxedo walked up to our table.

The waiter smiled and said to us in slightly magnetic Mandarin, "Is there anything I can do for you?" ”

I said, "This lady needs some drinks." ”

The pretty lady smiled at me again, and then said to the waiter, "I want a warm cup of honey lemon tea." ”

"Okay, ma'am, wait a minute."

The arrival of the waiter made Lu Feiqi react from the faux pas just now, and quickly withdrew the eyes that had already been captured by the beauty.

At this moment, the background music in the coffee cabin sounds, followed by a smooth, high-pitched piano sound.

From this position, I can clearly see Mu Qiubai playing hard in front of the golden piano, and he seems to be immersed in the ocean of music in an instant.

This piano piece perfectly matches the background music, giving people an uplifting feeling, but I didn't know what it was, so I asked the lady in front of me, "What kind of song is Mu Qiubai playing?" ”

Still smiling, the lady said in a sweet voice: "This piece is the Croatian Rhapsody by the Croatian composer Hedjik. ”

At this time, Lu Feiqi hurriedly said: "I know this "Croatian Rhapsody", which describes the tragic picture of the ruins in the ashes of Croatia after the baptism of war, and the sunset reflected in the blood, tears and dust. It is a classic piece in modern piano music. ”

It seems that Lu Feiqi's description is not wrong, because this beautiful lady cast an appreciative glance at Lu Feiqi. And Lu Feiqi was a little fluttery because of this lady's gaze, and took this opportunity to ask: "I am Lu Feiqi of Tianfu Group, I don't know what to call the lady?" ”

Lu Feiqi said that he was not interested in business, but when he was talking to a beautiful woman, he immediately took out his father's business signboard, and it seems that he is not an extraordinary artist.

The lady smiled slightly and said, "Mu Qiushui." ”

"Are you Mu Qiubai's sister?" Lu Feiqi blurted out.

Mu Qiushui shook his head and said, "I'm my sister." ”

At this time, the waiter brought over the cup of warm honey lemon tea ordered by Mu Qiushui. Mu Qiushui was very polite, and did not wait for the waiter to put the teacup on the sandalwood table, but stretched out his white and slender hand, steadily caught the teacup in the waiter's hand, and smiled and whispered thank you. The waiter bowed slightly and smiled.

I was amazed that this beauty was far superior to the fat woman I had met on the splint before, both in terms of image and demeanor, and that such an excellent woman was always humble and lovely towards others. How could such a woman not tempt a man?

Of course I wasn't tempted, I just looked at this extraordinary woman in front of me with a scrutinizing eye. Of course, Tang Zhenguo will not be moved, he is now looking down at his mobile phone, and occasionally a strange smile appears on his face, probably a smile that was inadvertently revealed during a chat with Chi Xue.

I don't know how many men in the coffee cabin are still interested in Mu Qiushui, but I can be sure that Lu Feiqi, the third son of Tianfu Group, is completely infatuated with this beauty.

I observed Mu Qiushui a little, she has the temperament of a Latin beauty, although her behavior seems so elegant and quiet, but her appearance faintly gives people a wild beauty. It is this interweaving of tranquility and wildness that produces the effect of captivating beings. She was dressed in a pale gold gown, and in this somewhat cool season, she still showed her fair collarbones, and her sensuality could only be felt after witnessing.

In fact, in my opinion, the most eye-catching thing about her is the hands, which are soft but not lacking in agility, slender but not lacking in texture. These hands are obviously masters of manipulating musical notes.

Who are these Mu Qiushui and Mu Qiubai?

Someone asked me about this question immediately, and Lu Feiqi asked cautiously: "Miss Qiushui, are you the daughter of the Zhongzhou Muye Group Mu Changhe?" ”

Mu Qiushui shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm just a pianist. ”

I saw Lu Feiqi frowning and asked, "Pianist?" You mean, you're a pianist hired on the Yangtze River Shenlong? ”

Mu Qiushui took a sip of the crystal clear honey lemon tea and nodded elegantly.

Lu Feiqi seemed to be a lost ball, and the expression on his face betrayed him, and everyone could feel that he was very disappointed. I know where his disappointment lies? He may have just decided that this woman was going to be his future wife, but suddenly this situation of not being in the right place appeared, and he was very disappointed.

He does have the imagination of an artist.

"May I invite you to dinner tonight?" Lu Feiqi's disappointment disappeared in an instant, as it was replaced by another inferior mentality. I could hear the clue from his words, and at the same time expressed disdain for Lu Feiqi, because Lu Feiqi was still going to drink with me and Tang Zhenguo at night, but now he was ungrateful, and he had already thrown what he said before out of the clouds.

I waited for the embarrassment of his rejection.

"Yes."

Mu Qiushui's answer made me a little unbelievable, but it made Lu Fei's eyebrows flutter, and his eyes were full of light, the light of a wolf's eyes.

I sighed silently in my heart, sure enough, people should not be disgraced. Mu Qiushui, a naturally beautiful pianist, an ordinary café pianist, of course hopes that she can climb the dragon and attach the phoenix, even if she can't, she may be able to get a dragon scale from the dragon and pluck a phoenix feather from the phoenix. This dragon scale and phoenix feather can also allow her to live a rich life.

If Mu Qiushui is really such a woman, then what kind of man is Mu Qiubai? I always like to draw inferences, and I also have a little bit of research on genetics, and my sister's character and my brother's character are probably not too far apart.

At this time, a noble lady walked into the coffee cabin, she was the daughter of the global oil group wearing mink fur and arrogant vision, Chen Chunling.

As soon as she walked into the coffee cabin, she looked at Mu Qiubai by the piano with a pair of eyes that were not beautiful, with a contrived smile.

And Mu Qiubai, the corners of his mouth also showed a slight smile.
