Gu Congzhou left the Shuai Mansion at noon, but he was really tired, so Gu Congzhou did not go back to the hospital, but asked the driver to send him home directly. I thought that there should be no one at home at this time, but I didn't want to open the door but found that Shen Yu was actually at home.

"My God, you're finally back!" Shen Yu ran over quickly, greeting with an exaggerated expression, and then his expression changed, and he asked with concern, "How is the young marshal now?" ”

Gu Congzhou was changing his shoes when he heard Shen Yu say something about it. Seeing his hesitant expression, Shen Yu patted him on the shoulder and said, "You don't have to lie to me, it has already spread all over the outside, saying that Li Ximeng did not suddenly fall ill, but was poisoned with Guan Shaoshuai, but Guan Shaoshuai survived." Seeing the change in Gu Congzhou's expression, Shen Yu knew that the rumors from the outside world were true. So he asked, "Let me tell you, what kind of poison is in them, so powerful?" ”

"It was rat poison, and I don't know what was mixed in it, which caused acute internal bleeding, and it was very dangerous at that time."

"Rat poison?!" Shen Yu's eyes widened in shock, and then he sighed, "So it's terrible for this woman to go crazy, she dares to apply mouse medicine to it, and she almost killed Young Marshal Guan, no wonder Dashuai Guan is so angry......"

"The poisoner was caught?" Gu Congzhou was unexpected.

"It's not like he was caught," Shen Yu said, "and when the Kwantung Army arrived, that man had already committed suicide." ”

"Suicide?!" Gu Congzhou was taken aback, "Who is it?" ”

Rong Fangyi, the granddaughter of Ronghua Hotel owner Rong Jiaxing. I heard that Rong Fangyi likes Shaoshuai Guan very much, and then Shaoshuai Guan is not praising Li Ximeng, and the girl surnamed Rong is jealous. I heard that she knew that Shaoshuai Guan was having dinner in their restaurant that day, so she hurried over. As a result, when I got there, I found that Guan Shaoshuai was with Li Ximeng, and the two went into the house to smoke together. Rong Fangyi was so angry that he found some rat medicine from the porter and applied it to Li Ximeng's big cigarette holder. She should have just wanted to poison Li Ximeng, but who knew that Guan Shaoshuai was also poisoned. Later, when she saw that Guan Shaoshuai and Li Ximeng were poisoned and carried away together, she knew that she had caused a big disaster, so she also committed suicide by taking poison when she returned home......"

Gu Congzhou's brows furrowed when he heard this: "Is this news reliable?" ”

"Of course it's reliable! When the Kwantung Army entered Rong's house that day, many people saw it. Moreover, even the coffin that the Rong family ordered was inquired about. It is estimated that it was for the sake of the face of the person's death, and she did not say that she was a murderer. However, this matter spread throughout Kanto City, but because of Young Marshal Guan, no newspaper dared to report it. Speaking of this, Shen Yu pouted, "I thought that Guan Shaoshuai was good before, but I didn't expect it to be a swinger brother, and he killed two women at once, hum!" It's not a good thing! The poisoning deserves it! ”

Gu Congzhou didn't expect the truth of the matter to be like this, thinking about the two lives that had passed, and then thinking about Guan Tingxiao's calm face that day, he was also confused for a while.

Over there, Shen Yu continued to speak: "By the way, you came back just in time, tomorrow is the day of Li Ximeng's funeral, and the film company will set up a mourning hall over there, I want to go and worship, do you want to go together?" ”

Gu Congzhou nodded: "Okay." ”

The next morning, a light rain began to fall in the sky. The sky was overcast, which made it even more sad.

Li Ximeng's funeral hall is located in the Far East Film Company. In the yellow and white chrysanthemums is a large photo of Li Ximeng, and the woman in the photo is radiant, but the beauty in reality is lying in a cold coffin, with her eyes closed forever. Many fans from other places came to bid farewell to Li Ximeng, and many even cried sadly.

"It's all Guan Tingxiao!" A young man cried and said indignantly, "He killed Ximeng." ”

"Shh A person next to him hurriedly covered his mouth, "Don't talk nonsense, this is Kanto City!" ”

"What's wrong with Kanto City?! No matter how powerful his family is, can he still block the mouths of the people in the world?! The young man was indignant, "If it weren't for him messing with flowers, Ximeng would have been poisoned by jealousy?!" Ximeng died because of him, and he didn't even come to see Ximeng today! ”

The more the young man spoke, the more uneasy he became, and he wiped his tears with indignation. The friend next to him patted him and persuaded: "You just don't say a word!" The things about these young masters and stars are unclear......"

Not far from the two, a man stood quietly in the crowd. He was dressed in plain black, with white flowers pinned to his chest, and if you didn't consider the scene, this costume would match the cheongsam worn by Li Ximeng. Hearing the two young men's discussions, the corners of the man's eyes moved, and then he calmed down again.

- Ximeng, my love, I know that things must not be what they say, you don't like Guan Shaoshuai at all, because I know that your lover from beginning to end is me......

- Don't worry, I will definitely avenge you. Certain.

Lee Hee-mon's death became big news in Kanto City and even the whole country. While people are remembering her performance, the affair between her and Guan Shaoshuai has also become a topic of conversation among people across the country. The newspapers in Kanto City did not dare to say anything openly for fear of Young Marshal Guan's face, but the media in other places were much bolder, and they collected the truth of the whole matter from everywhere and reported it with added fuel and vinegar. Moreover, these reports all have particularly eye-catching topics, such as "Young girls are obsessed with Guan Shaoshuai, and they do not hesitate to poison and kill people for it", "Guan Ting picks two daughters in love, and the female movie star dies because of them", etc., etc., etc. Moreover, some good people copied these reports and threw them down from high places in Kanto Castle, and the patrol room caught several times but no one was caught, so they had to strengthen patrols everywhere. And Guan Tingxiao, the central figure of the topic, seems to have disappeared in the past few days, and his birthday with great fanfare in previous years has also passed quietly this year. As a result, rumors are even more prevalent, some people say that Guan Tingxiao was poisoned too deeply and has not been able to get out of bed so far; Some people also said that Guan Dashuai was angry at his son's amorous nature and caused trouble, and ordered him to reflect at home. Of course, rumors are just rumors, in fact, Young Marshal Guan is neither in the Grand Marshal's Mansion at the moment, nor in the hospital bed, but in a villa outside the city.

Sun Yibing walked into the room and saw Guan Tingxiao lying on the bed smoking a big cigarette, and couldn't help frowning: "Yue Yuan, why are you smoking again?" ”

"Zheheng, you're here," Guan Tingxiao saw Sun Yibing appear, and beckoned, "Come here, take a sip with me." ”

"You've just recovered, and smoking hurts." Sun Yibing looked at Guan Tingxiao and suggested, "Can't you quit?" ”

"Ring? Why quit? Cigarettes are a good thing, a spare cigarette, a race over the living immortals-"

Guan Tingxiao was already smoking a little smoky, he pulled the long tone and shook the pipe in his hand. Sun Yibing looked at his profligate appearance, and continued to comfort: "I know you have been unhappy these days, but Dashuai is your father after all, and he blames you for your good......

"Good for me? I think he's disappointed in me! Guan Tingxiao suddenly interrupted Sun Yibing's words, "Do you know how he scolded me?" He said that I didn't make it, and I was ashamed of him! He also said that it was better not to give birth to me than to know this! Guan Tingxiao said, slamming the big smoking gun in his hand to the ground, "I'm embarrassed for him!" Everything I've done for more than 20 years has been done in the hope of satisfying him! He asked me to go to military school, and I went without saying a word; He asked me to join the army, and I followed the soldiers to sleep in tents and gnaw on the nest! I tried to do as much as he asked, but what about him? What did he say about me? Including the old guys under him, they all think that I am a young master and can't make a big deal. This time it was just a joke, and he scolded me to the death! The question is, did he give me the freedom to like anything? Even my wife was arranged for me by him, and I can't even be the master of who I love! ”

"If you think he looks down on you, you should make some achievements for him to see!" Sun Yibing grabbed his shoulders violently and looked directly at him, "Quit smoking, cheer up from now on, show your father and those other old guys!" ”

"See? Oh, they won't look at it. If you do well, you should be scored, and if you don't do well, you are the tiger father and dog. Guan Tingxiao sneered and picked up the cigarette gun on the ground, "You just said quit smoking, in fact, they don't care if I smoke big or not, there are more people in the Kwantung Army who smoke big cigarettes, do you think who cares about them?" Not only our Kwantung Army, but also the Zhili side, aren't they all big smokers? I heard that there are still people in the south who use big cigarettes as military salaries. As he spoke, he patted the cigarette gun and lit it again, "So, even if I want to cheer up, I don't start by quitting smoking......

With that, he lay down on the bed again and continued to swallow the clouds. And Sun Yibing looked at Guan Tingxiao's broken and broken appearance, and there was a deep disappointment in his eyes......

On the other side, Kanto Hospital.

At half past four, Gu Congzhou began to pack up his things. A few days ago, he was delayed for a few days in the Grand Marshal's Mansion, so the Japanese letter has not yet been translated. Seeing that there is not much work in the hospital today, Gu Congzhou plans to get off work early and continue to find someone to translate. However, just as he was about to change his clothes and go out, suddenly, an urgent cry sounded outside: "Doctor, doctor, come quickly!" Help me!! ”

Gu Congzhou heard the voice eagerly, and couldn't help but run out, only to see that the hospital corridor was already in chaos at the moment, and the center of the crowd was a young man about 20 years old, he was wearing a high-end suit, but there were blood stains on his face and arms, and he was still howling; Beside him were three or five men dressed as servants, trying to hold on to the mad boy. Farther away, a woman in her forties and fifties was wiping tears and shouting, "Where's the doctor?!" Why haven't you come to the doctor yet?! ”

Gu Congzhou and the other two doctors ran out: "What's wrong?" ”

"Doctor, come on! Save my son! When the woman saw the doctor come out, she hurriedly said, "He just suddenly started talking nonsense, and he started cutting himself with a knife!" Save him! ”

Here, the boy also began to shout: "Don't hold me, I have worms in my arms, I want to dig them all out!" Otherwise, they're going to crawl into my head! Come on! It's too late! ”

Hearing this, Gu Congzhou's heart was shocked-why are this person's words so similar to what the coachman said that day?!

So he hurriedly asked, "What did you say?!" ”

The man had obviously lost his mind, he didn't answer Gu Congzhou's question at all, he just shouted to himself. Gu Congzhou wanted to ask again, but the woman was unhappy first: "What do you keep asking, doctor?" My son is so badly injured, why don't you treat my son first, what are you doing here and ask?! Will you see a doctor?! Where's your dean?! I'm looking for your dean!! ”

Listening to the tone of this woman's voice, it was obvious that there was something coming from it. It's a pity that none of the few people who have come out at present know where she is sacred. Just as the woman was so angry that she wanted to report herself, the chief surgeon finally arrived. Seeing the comer, he hurriedly went over to say hello: "Mrs. Lu! Why are you here?! ”

As soon as the woman saw that someone recognized her, she immediately put up her official stand: "My son is injured, you hurry up and help my son heal his injuries!" ”

When Director Liu turned his head to look, here, Gu Congzhou had already ordered someone to bring a tranquilizer needle. He asked the servants to grab the boy's arm and quickly push the liquid into his veins. The man began to struggle violently, but the power of the medicine soon came up, and the man soon lost his strength and fell asleep.

After some tossing, the young man was finally sent to the ward with his wound bandaged. It was only at this time that Gu Congzhou knew that the young man's name was Lu Shirui, and he was the eldest son of Lu Jiayuan, the deputy mayor of the city, and the commanding lady was Mayor Lu's wife. Knowing that Mrs. Lu would not be able to ask the truth, so while the director of surgery was talking to Mrs. Lu, Gu Congzhou quietly slipped out of the ward, and he planned to find someone from the Lu family to ask him clearly.

Gu Congzhou walked out of the ward and saw a servant-looking man wrapping his arm with a bandage. Obviously, his arm was also injured by Young Master Lu. Gu Congzhou saw that the wound on his arm was not small, so he walked over and said, "Your wound is too big, it's better to get stitches faster." ”

The next person didn't expect a doctor to talk to him, and he didn't know how to react for a while, Gu Congzhou pointed to the office on the side: "Go, go in, I'll help you get a few stitches." ”

"No, no." The man hurriedly shook his head. Gu Congzhou smiled: "Don't worry, I won't charge you money." Come on. ”

The man hesitated for a moment, but finally followed.

Gu Congzhou disinfected the man's wound, then injected him with an anesthetic injection, and then began to stitch up the wound. After everything was taken care of, he said: "Don't get wet for the last week, disinfect once every two days, and remove the stitches after a week." ”

The man covered his wrapped arm and bowed to Gu Congzhou: "Thank you, doctor." ”

"You're welcome." Gu Congzhou said, "But I want to ask you one thing, why did your young master suddenly go crazy?" ”

Hearing Gu Congzhou's question, the man's expression immediately became nervous. Gu Cong was busy comforting on Monday: "Don't worry, I won't tell others." To tell you the truth, I also saw a person with similar symptoms a few days ago, and he also suddenly went crazy, and finally he grabbed the knife of the butcher's shop and cut his own throat. You don't want your young master to end up like this, do you? ”

The man hesitated for a while, he looked back at the door, and saw that no one noticed him, so he turned back and said with a nervous expression: "Doctor, I told you that you can, but you must not tell others that I said it." ”

"I promise." Gu Congzhou solemnly promised.

Only then did the man put his mind at ease, and he said, "Actually, young master, he didn't go crazy suddenly, he only went crazy after smoking a big cigarette. ”

"Smoke a lot?" Gu Congzhou frowned.

"Yes." The man said, "Young master, he's been smoking for almost a year." Two days ago, he brought back a few new cigarettes from outside and put them away like a baby. Then he smoked two in a row today, but not long after the second one was drawn, he said that there were insects crawling in his arm, first scratching, and then he took a knife to cut off his own hand, I went to grab the knife, and he scratched it. Then the lady rushed back and beckoned to come to the hospital in a hurry. ”

Gu Congzhou's brows furrowed-Big smoke? He suddenly remembered that before he got on the rickshaw that day, he vaguely smelled the smell of smoke. Could it be that the reason why these two people went crazy was because of the big smoke? But I've only heard of people who feel itchy when they are addicted to drugs, so why did these two people have this hallucination after they finished smoking? Could it be that there are other ingredients in their big smoke?

Thinking of this, he asked, "Where did he buy his big cigarettes from?" ”

The man shook his head: "I don't know about this." ”

"Okay, thank you." Gu Congzhou nodded. He found out that he wasn't destined to leave work early today—he had to figure it out.
