Compared with those who betray their compatriots for profit, they are really incomparably valuable, and it is only now that I understand this truth in my narrow-mindedness.

The next morning, I stood in front of the bookstore with my bag on my back and waited for Ma Yuan to open the store.

From seven o'clock to a quarter past eight, Ma Yuan appeared, coming from the direction where he lived, as if he knew that I was coming.

"Mr. Zhang, are you back?" There was no surprise on his face, as calm as ever.

I nodded, and stood silently waiting for him to open the door.

A few minutes later, we sat at the round table behind the cash register, and before the water was boiling, he opened the tea caddy, and the fragrance of the tea was already wafting out.

"Boss Ma, thank you for the reminder, because of my conceit, I didn't listen to your advice, and I almost died this time." I said this calmly, and he raised his eyebrows in surprise.

He probably didn't expect that someone as proud and arrogant as me would be willing to admit my mistakes in front of others.

Men, can bend and stretch, I have always been able to pretend to be forced and slap in the face with ease.

"You're so capable, it's normal that you're not good at listening to other people's advice, you just have to do it." Ma Yuan smiled indifferently, he didn't ask me for specific details.

At this time, the water is boiled, he is very skilled in making tea for me, every move is gentle and elegant, people who can taste tea are not only tasting the taste of tea, but the whole process, I am not so leisurely and elegant.

"To be honest, I can't be sure what kind of person you are, both good and evil, you are such a person in my heart at the moment, although I thank you for this matter, but I still have to investigate the bad things you have done, and I will not let go of anyone who has done evil things." I looked him straight in the eye, and he had a smile on his lips.

"I never said that I was a good person, whatever Mr. Zhang defined me, as for what I have done that you think is a bad thing, you can investigate it." He looked up at me, "How about the tea, it's new, not the last one." ”

I was immediately embarrassed when he said this, the taste of tea and tea in my mouth is the same, after all, I don't know how to taste tea at all.

"Well, it's not bad." I nodded weakly.

Ma Yuan smiled contentedly, "That's good, I'm most afraid that my tea won't serve my guests well." ”

"The first thing I'm going to investigate is whether Mike's death has anything to do with you, and you got the design manuscript that disappeared before he died." Thinking of Mike, my voice involuntarily raised a little.

Ma Yuan took a sip of tea slowly, "Okay, then you can go and investigate, after the evidence is conclusive, I won't deny it." ”

Bah, this old guy is starting to be a scoundrel again.

Before leaving, I still threw down a reminder to him, which can be regarded as a warning to him, to rein in the precipice as soon as possible and dissociate himself from those evil forces, otherwise I will not spare him.

Ma Yuan didn't say anything, and he had nothing to do with himself.

In the evening, my dad Ai Ling and Long made an appointment to live with her about this past Yuelonggang, and I was sorry to tell her that I didn't find Xue Xiaxia, and I made a big mistake.

Ai Ling, Long didn't blame me like before, she pursed her lips, hung her head a little embarrassed, and said sadly after a long time, "I'm sorry, maybe the dream I provided was inaccurate, it actually had nothing to do with Xue Xiaxia's disappearance, so you ran to that place and suffered a lot." ”

I was a little embarrassed when she said this, I coughed cheekily and smiled, "When did you become so sympathetic to me, hehe, it doesn't exist, I have gained a lot from this trip in the past." ”

Ai Linglong slowly raised her head and looked at me, "I heard Zhao Heizi say that you were lucky and unlucky in the past this time, and you almost ...... Isn't it? ”

I was stunned for a moment, it seems that she has been paying attention to my situation all this time, and she does not think that I have strong mana and is not worried about my safety.

"This is normal, I have long put life and death out of the way, and I am ready to die at any time, otherwise how dare I be an exorcist, isn't that a humiliating mission, it's okay." I tossed the snow peas into my mouth and chewed them, smiling lightly.

Ai Ling, Long frowned and looked at me, shaking her head vigorously, "No, whether you can find her or not, you don't want to put your life in an unimportant place, if you have three long and two short, then ......"

She couldn't go on with the rest of the story, and I didn't want to hear it, because it might make the atmosphere awkward and solemn.

I explained perfunctorily and told her that I would be fine, but this time it was just a little careless, and she gradually loosened her brow.

The search for the range of 1140 has stopped for the time being, I have searched in the most marginal area without results, and I need to reorganize my thoughts and plans.

I spent three days dealing with all kinds of affairs in the hotel, and I almost had a cerebral hemorrhage during the meeting, and I know why there were so many things to do these days, and I always went to various units for meetings frequently when I opened a hotel, which was completely different from what I imagined.

One of the most painful things in life is having meetings.

The next afternoon, I was sitting in my office waiting for a phone call, and a partner was going to talk to me about a new collaboration.

The office door was suddenly pushed open, and I turned my head to see Manman!

"Hey, did you miss me?" Manman waved at me, and then ran up to me excitedly and gave me a huge bear hug, much to my embarrassment.

I hurriedly stood up and moved to the side, "Why don't you say a word when you come back, yesterday's video you also said that you were going to a certain town for sightseeing today." ”

Man Man pursed his lips and said coquettishly, "Didn't that person miss you, so he came back early and gave you a surprise, aren't you happy?" ”

I frowned, "Okay, how was it going?" ”

"I've had enough fun, I miss you, so I'm back to work for you!" Manman said he wanted to hug me again, and I pushed it away.

"I'll ask Brother Zhao to arrange a job for you, you live in a hotel first, and then change places if you think it's not suitable, how about it?" I said solemnly, now I want to establish the prestige of her boss, so that she does not have any illusions, and my relationship with her is ambiguous.

Manman saw that my attitude was a little cold, so he didn't dare to make another time, and obediently agreed.

Zhao Heizi arranged for her in the marketing department, she likes to deal with all kinds of people, which gives him the opportunity to go out and participate in various occasions, which is very suitable for her character.

She originally wanted to be my assistant, but I refused without hesitation.

She was not dissatisfied with this arrangement, although her face was a little ugly, she still nodded and agreed.

A day later.

In the evening, Zhao Heizi and I came back from a meeting outside, found a nearby restaurant to sit down, and held a meeting for more than three hours in a row, I originally wanted to cast an out-of-body spell to find a place to take a good nap, but the bullshit meeting host often mentioned me and asked me to speak, so that I didn't dare to leave at all.

Otherwise, I would be there like a wooden stake, and I would not respond to other people's questions, which would probably make people laugh off their big teeth and scare some people to have a heart attack.

At the end of each meeting, I felt like an inmate who had been released from prison, and I felt an indescribable sense of relief and happiness.

I ordered a table of dishes, and Zhao Heizi looked at me with wide eyes, "Can the two of us eat so much?" ”

"It's okay, I can't finish eating and pack it back, I have to eat more now, vent well, I've been farting for three hours, and I'm almost rotten." Zhao Heizi smiled dumbly, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

As soon as the food came up, I picked up my chopsticks and was about to feast, when my phone suddenly rang, "Who is it, it can't be another bullshit supplier, right?" ”

I threw my phone directly in front of Zhao Heizi, this is a drama that the two of us often stage, I don't want to answer the phone and let him prevaricate, telling the other party that I am in a meeting and have no time.

"Okay, I'll get it for you." Zhao Heizi picked up the phone with a smile, and then frowned, "It's not a supplier, it's Team Leader Yang." ”

I almost bit my tongue and quickly took the phone, "Team Leader Yang, what's wrong?" ”

The other party paused and said in a deep voice, "Huang Jin's mother passed away at about 3 o'clock in the morning. ”

"What, hasn't his old man's condition stabilized before? Why did he die suddenly, could there be any hidden meaning to this? "I was amazed and at the same time felt a pang of discomfort in my heart, which I had never expected, at least not because she would die suddenly now.

Team leader Yang said that at about 11 o'clock yesterday, the hospital called and said that Huang Jin's mother was in some crisis and asked Huang Jin to rush over.

Huang Jin hurriedly put down his work and rushed to the hospital, but he didn't expect the bad news to come out later, saying that her mother died suddenly at about 3 o'clock in the morning.

In fact, for elderly patients with stroke, it is normal to die suddenly, but after all, Huang Jin's mother encountered a very special situation before, and her condition has been stable during this time, and suddenly her condition deteriorated and died suddenly, which made Team Leader Yang and them begin to suspect that this was done on purpose.

Team Leader Yang wanted the forensic doctor to perform an autopsy on Huang Jin's mother, but he was hesitating how to talk to Huang Jin.

At this time, Huang Jin suddenly called, expressing her willingness to take the initiative to send her mother's body to the police station, and ask her colleagues to do an autopsy on her mother, so that the death report could be written clearly, she said that she didn't want her mother's death to become an unsolved case, so that many people could speculate.

She said this, which made Team Leader Yang a little embarrassed, as if Huang Jin had guessed that Team Leader Yang might suspect her, and there were even other people who thought that what she had done to her mother would make her mother's condition deteriorate and die suddenly.

Team Leader Yang did not hesitate too much, and arranged for the forensic doctor to perform an autopsy on Huang Jin's mother as soon as possible, and the autopsy showed that Huang Jin's mother died suddenly due to the sudden deterioration of her condition, which was normal and there was nothing to doubt.
