Chapter 4 New Assistants
Lu Xiaohu led Peng Bo upstairs to his suite to rest temporarily. Just as Peng Bo was taking a step and stepping on the first step, a young girl's pitiful cry came from the gate of the villa, "Please, please, I'm not a suspicious person, let me go!" ”
Peng Bo instinctively took the second step and stepped on the second step, not intending to pay attention to people and things that had nothing to do with his work, but a girl's frightened gaze flashed in his mind, like two sharp arrows suddenly attacking, making Peng Bo's head ach faintly. After two seconds of hesitation, he stopped.
"What's going on?" Qiu Qingfeng angrily asked the bodyguard who grabbed a young girl by the back collar at the door, "Who is she?" ”
Peng Bo stood still, turned his head to look at the door, and saw a young and thin girl being restrained by a tall black-clothed bodyguard behind her, as if he didn't know the existence of the idiom of pity and cherishing jade, the bodyguard grabbed the girl's back collar, as if carrying a kitten.
The young girl, who was screaming in pain like a kitten, was on tiptoe, her neck hunched, her arms wrapped around a DSLR camera, pitifully at her mercy.
Peng Bo's eyes were observing the young uninvited guest, but his sensitive ears caught the two surprised words that the policeman named Tong Rui sitting on the sofa spit out quietly and vaguely. Peng Bo glanced back at the man, and sure enough, a look of shock and embarrassment flashed across his face.
The bodyguard pushed the girl and walked a few steps forward, and replied: "Mr. Qiu, this woman is sneaking around in the villa area, taking pictures everywhere with a camera, I think, maybe she has something to do with the disappearance of the eldest lady, so I brought her back." ”
Qiu Qingfeng glanced at the bodyguard and glanced at the office worker man on the side. The man looks like Qiu Qingfeng's assistant secretary and other characters, in short, Qiu Qingfeng's henchman. He stepped forward and snatched the camera from the girl's arms to look at it.
More than ten seconds later, the assistant man turned around and reported to Qiu Qingfeng: "Dong Qiu, the photos taken secretly are not only Qiu Mansion, but also other villas and residents, she should be a gossip reporter who sneaked in." ”
Qiu Qingfeng's cold eyes pierced the girl, and said coldly: "Confiscate the camera, take the person out, and reason with her!" ”
The bodyguard understood and dragged the girl out.
"What are you going to do? To abuse lynching? The girl also understood Qiu Qingfeng's words, and she shouted in horror, "Help! Let me go! ”
The girl had been dragged out of Peng Bo's sight, and just as Peng Bo turned his head to observe the policeman named Tong Rui, the girl suddenly shouted Peng Bo's name.
"Misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding, I'm not a gossip reporter, I am, I'm Peng Bo's assistant!" The girl who was dragged to the door suddenly shouted without warning, and at the same time, her right arm was raised and pointed directly at Peng Bo.
With the girl's behavior, the bodyguard was also stunned and stopped his rude behavior.
Peng Bo quietly raised his eyes to look at the girl who named herself, she looked like she was in her early twenties, wearing a dolls-collar navy blue polka-dot shirt on her upper body, light blue jeans on her lower body, and sneakers; Qi bangs, high ponytail, melon seed face, big eyes, like a porcelain doll, but it is a very down-to-earth and affordable version of the porcelain doll, not to mention how beautiful and exquisite.
What is certain is that Peng Bo doesn't know this girl, but the girl knows him.
Qiu Qingfeng's eyes turned to Peng Bo, and he asked with some displeasure: "Detective Peng, she said that she was your assistant, is there such a thing?" ”
Peng Bo went down two steps, walked slowly to the girl, and stood at a distance of five meters from the girl, he looked directly at the girl's big watery eyes full of begging, and wanted to open his mouth to deny, not to add unnecessary trouble to himself, but the negative words were like a fish in his throat, he tried twice without saying it, and finally had to give up resistance and spit out two words, "Yes." ”
Qiu Qingfeng stood up and asked as if trying his best to restrain his anger: "How could your assistant sneak into the villa area and take pictures everywhere?" ”
The girl immediately explained pitifully: "That's the case, Mr. Qiu, I have only been Peng Bo's assistant for a long time, and I know that Peng Bo's main customer group is you successful people, so I want to do my homework and understand the customer group as much as possible." ”
The girl observed the faces of Peng Bo and Qiu Qingfeng, and then said: "But I don't have any other good way, that's why I made this decision, I'm sorry, I'm sorry Mr. Qiu, I'm sorry Peng Bo, I, I was wrong." ”
Peng Bo was noncommittal about the girl's statement, and just stared at the bodyguard behind the girl with sharp eyes. Under such a gaze, the bodyguard unconsciously let go.
"Detective Peng, since you admit that she is your assistant, then, what is the name of this assistant lady of yours?" Wang Chenxin asked Peng Bo with a smile like a joke.
Peng Bo turned around, faced Wang Chenxin, and replied solemnly: "Tong Beibei." ”
Peng Bo deliberately stood in front of the girl, his purpose was to hide the surprised expression that the girl might not have after being said to be named.
A trace of astonishment did flash quickly on the girl's face, but she reacted immediately, quickly took out her ID card, held it high and said proudly: "My name is indeed Tong Beibei, and I have an ID card as proof." ”
The assistant man took the ID card, looked at it carefully, and nodded at Qiu Qingfeng.
Qiu Qingfeng's face softened, and he resumed his politeness to Peng Bo, "Detective Peng, I'm sorry, there was a misunderstanding." It just so happens that Chen Xin is preparing a suite, so the two of them will live here. Jenny's business, I'm sorry for you. ”
Tong Beibei glanced back at the bodyguard behind her, snatched her camera from the assistant man, and quickly followed Peng Bo, who had already stepped on the stairs in front.
Tong Beibei looked down at the man who looked up at her while going upstairs, Tong Rui, and gave him an unceremonious look.
The ensuite rooms are located on the second floor, not far from Jenny Khoo's bedroom. As soon as Tong Beibei entered the door, he picked up the SLR camera hanging around his neck and took pictures everywhere.
Peng Bo walked into the room, sat on the sofa chair in front of the window, leaned on the back of the chair leisurely, crossed Erlang's legs, took out his mobile phone and began to be his bowed head again.
It seemed that enough filming was enough, Tong Beibei's attention and curiosity finally shifted from the room to Peng Bo, she walked to Peng Bo in the room, bowed deeply, and said solemnly: "Thank you Detective Peng for saving her life." ”
Peng Bo snorted coldly, simply locked the screen of his mobile phone, looked up and asked, "Tell me, how do you know me." ”
Tong Beibei replied with some pride: "Use reasoning." First of all, I know about you, I know that there is such a famous 'local tyrant's royal slave detective' in Haibin City, who was said by netizens to be a private detective who 'can eat with his face, but he wants to be a slave for a local tyrant', named Peng Bo. ”
Peng Bo snorted a little self-deprecatingly, he has always been very resistant to this title.
"Secondly, after I was arrested, the bodyguard said that I might have something to do with the disappearance of the eldest lady, that is, there is a case here, and the eldest lady of the Qiu family, Qiu Jenny, is missing." Tong Beibei touched her chin like a detective.
Peng Bo glanced at Tong Beibei, it seemed that she had really done her homework and knew that Qiu Qingfeng's daughter was called Qiu Zhenni.
"Thirdly, I saw you, you can be said to stand out from the crowd in this villa, and you are the most outstanding in appearance, which reminds me of the sentence 'You can eat with your face'. According to the above three points, I have a 99% chance of winning, and you are Peng Bo. ”
"Hmph, that's a little clever. So how sure are you that I will cooperate with you in acting and risk angering Qiu Qingfeng to rescue you, a person I don't know? Peng Bo leaned back in the thick chair and looked at the young girl who was a little impressed with his cold eyes.
Tong Beibei could feel the huge aura from Peng Bo, but she herself also exuded a powerful heartless and carefree small universe, she sat directly on the windowsill on Peng Bo's side, looked out the window, and said with some self-deprecation: "To be honest, there is only one percent certainty." ”
I was secretly surprised when I hit the wall, thinking that women are really emotional creatures, and they can give it a go for one percent of hope.
"I've heard of you, you are a cold and hard person, you never care about the affairs of the poor, you only have money in your eyes, so you will serve the local tyrant and become the royal slave detective of the local tyrant. However, I have also heard of Qiu Qingfeng's style of acting, and the colleagues who came in to take pictures before were taught by him and stayed in the hospital for half a month. ”
Peng Bo secretly thought that he had only been in the hospital for half a month, and among the people who provoked Qiu Qingfeng, this one was lucky.
"In this case, I can only gamble that you Peng Bo is not as cold-blooded as rumored by the outside world. As it turned out, I won. Detective Peng, can I write you an interview, just to justify your name! In the end, Tong Beibei turned her head to look directly at Peng Bo, her eyes flashing with excitement.
Peng Bo snorted coldly, not caring at all that Tong Beibei relayed the rumors about him from the outside world, saying that he was a cold-blooded detective who only had money in his eyes. He is not even more interested in interviews and justification. He lit up the phone screen again, focusing on it.
"I heard that you solved the famous 'Twelve Dancing Princesses' case a year ago, so you were appreciated by several rich people, and your reputation was spread in the circle, so as long as there is any case in the upper circles of these seaside cities, they like to find you as a capable private detective." Tong Beibei said to herself.
"Of course, there is another aspect, that is, your tone is extremely tight, and they don't have to worry about their scandal leaking from you," Tong Beibei took Peng Bo's silence as an endorsement, and turned on the noisy question mode, "Excuse me, what is going on with the case of the 'Twelve Dancing Princesses'?" Since the media gave the case such a fairy tale name, is the case similar to that fairy tale? ”
Peng Bo seemed to be deaf and continued to focus on his mobile phone.
Tong Beibei didn't care about Peng Bo's neglect at all, and guessed: "Is it a case of the disappearance of a celebrity?" And they just disappear every night, and they are tired when they show up during the day? Also, their shoes, oh no, not just shoes, are they anything else that is badly damaged? Is there a scandal here? ”
Peng Bo raised his head and looked at Tong Beibei, with an inexplicable look that he couldn't understand what Tong Beibei said, "Twelve dancing princesses? What is that? ”
Tong Beibei stood up in surprise and asked exaggeratedly, "Won't it?" You haven't heard this fairy tale? ”
Peng Bo was relieved, "I'm not interested in fairy tales. You also said, my tone is very tight, don't waste time asking questions, your noise is noise to me. With that, he lowered his head again.
"Well, the last question, the most important question," Tong Beibei shrugged and said compromisedly, "how do you know my name?" ”
Peng Bo said lightly: "This is thanks to the strength of genes, you and that Tong Rui have two pairs of eyes with similar shapes, plus Tong Rui looked strange after seeing you, and he had the urge to stand up, I guess, you must be related by blood, and you are close relatives, so there is a great chance that you are also surnamed Tong." ”
Tong Beibei was dumbfounded, she never felt that her beautiful big eyes were similar to her brother Tong Rui.
"In addition, when Tong Rui saw you appear, he once whispered 'Beibei' in a questioning and surprised tone, so I deduced that your name must have a Beibei character. At that time, Wang Chenxin asked me your name, the situation is critical, I can only bet, according to the probability, I will bet that your name is simple and cheesy, either Tong Bei, or Tong Beibei. ”
Tong Beibei smiled bitterly, thanking her for the first time that her name was so simple and cheesy, and she asked curiously: "What if I lose?" In case you lose the bet, Qiu Qingfeng knows that you lied to him with me, so what should you do? ”
Peng Bo stared down at the screen of his mobile phone, and replied without thinking about it: "Even if I lose the bet, Qiu Qingfeng will not do anything to me, he still has a place to get me." As for you, I believe that Tong Rui will protect you even if he has a hard time with Qiu Qingfeng and risks losing his job. ”
Peng Bo's words were commonplace, but Tong Beibei's heart was warm. She understood Peng Bo's hard work, he could have not accepted his tricks and not helped, because he knew that Tong Rui would stand up to protect his sister at the last moment. But he still took the risk of lying to help himself, and at the same time to help Tong Rui.
He stood up to help, and standing in front of Tong Rui could allow Tong Rui to avoid conflict with Qiu Qingfeng, after all, Qiu Qingfeng was a friend of Tong Rui's boss, Zhao Ju. If Tong Rui offends Qiu Qingfeng because of Tong Beibei, it will indirectly affect his career.
Tong Beibei also wanted to say a few more words of thanks, and remembered that Peng Bo disliked her for making noise just now, so she reciprocated with silence, and obediently retreated silently, wanting to withdraw from Peng Bo's area in the middle. She slowly retreated, while carefully looking at this good-looking man who could obviously eat with his face.
Peng Bo was tall and straight, leaning on the sofa chair a little lazily, with overlapping long legs.
He was dressed in a gray suit, elegant leather shoes, showing the temperament of the aristocracy, fair skin, moderate length of black hair, the hairstyle was obviously carefully groomed, slightly mature and stable, the edges and corners of the face were looming, the bridge of the nose was straight and high, and the eyebrows flashed sharpness.
His good-looking is not the feminine beauty of some idol stars, but a handsome and handsome man like a noble son in a painting.
Since Tong Beibei saw Peng Bo, he has been expressionless, speaking in a cold tone, with a cold face that rejects people thousands of miles away, but now, Tong Beibei can be sure that the rumors do not match the reality, in fact, Peng Bo is a gentleman who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and even a warm-hearted person who is helpful and dares to help others.
Tong Beibei touched her hot face, secretly raised the camera hanging around her neck, and took a photo of Peng Bo focusing on her mobile phone. She knew that from this moment on, she, a girl full of romantic fairy tales, had turned a fan of Peng Bo, a jade-faced detective.
