Chapter 21: The Theft of Relics

During this time, the firm also received some other commissions, which were still small jobs of catching cats and dogs to check lost property, most of which were Han Yu working outside under the scorching sun.

Zhou Erya just ate dessert, drank coffee, and occasionally gave a few words.

It's also magical, even if he doesn't arrive at the scene, from some descriptions of the client, Zhou Erya can roughly judge the truth or the location of cats and dogs, Han Yu listens to his instructions, and can always complete the task easily.

Dog days are very hot, people have no desire to go out, and there is no commission in the past two days, and the next time, Han Yu has been soaking in the study, experimenting with all kinds of strange mechanical tools, trying to crack the mechanism of the secret room as soon as possible, and even forgetting to sleep and eat.

Adjutant Cai was worried about his body and ordered someone to deliver food several times, but Han Yu just took a few bites and pushed it away, continuing to study the institution, trying to restore the truth of the death that day, and the fanatical look on his face made Adjutant Cai feel scared when he saw it.

"Young master, I think he is like you back then......"

Zhou Erya was reading a book in the living room, sitting in a large armchair, sipping a warm cup of black tea.

Adjutant Cai walked in lightly with a hint of emotion on his face.

"I was ...... at that time Is it? ”

Zhou Erya raised her head, closed her eyes slightly, and smiled faintly.

His expression was calm and relaxed, and he couldn't tell that he was reminiscing about the past.

Adjutant Cai regretted that he was talking too much, although the current young master looked very calm, but others didn't know the turmoil in his heart, maybe his short words set off the turmoil in his heart.

During that gray time, he was also in the study like this, not wanting to eat anything, not wanting to sleep, pain and confusion devoured his heart, but no one could help him.

"Maybe everyone will have such a period."

Zhou Erya put down the teacup and said lightly.

Although the cicadas outside the window were disturbing and the red sun was scorching, the tall mansion was cool and airy, and there was still a lot of cold mung bean soup left on the table.

"Cai Bo, don't worry. I think in a few days he will find the answer, and it will be fine. ”

Han Yu's ups and downs these days, Zhou Erya saw it in his eyes.

He can understand the character of Han Yu as a "man of temperament", so he saw that he was a little tired of this case halfway, which was completely expected, and it was not surprising that he was regaining his strength now.

It's time for this case to be resolved.

Zhou Erya cautiously reasoned and calculated countless times in her brain, and the truth was already coming out, but before Han Yu's secret room mechanism was cracked, it was not satisfactory after all, and there was no evidence.

Paramount is the epitome of Dashang Beach.

Boss Jin, Li Baozhu, Ji Meiyun, including Yin Xiuxiu, are like all kinds of actors, and tragicomedy scenes are condensed and staged.

Generations of life and death, generations of love and hatred.

Every generation of dancing queens has unknown shady scenes, which involve many conspiracies and murders, and the evil of human nature is sometimes even incredible.

Zhou Erya closed the book, stretched out her slender white fingers, pushed the teapot away, took three empty teacups and put them in front of her, thought slightly, and took the fourth one.

The first generation of Qi Limei, the second generation of Liu Niangzi, the third generation of Li Baozhu, and Ji Meiyun can be regarded as the fourth generation in terms of age difference.

It can be made clear that it is the handover of the second and third generations, and the sixth lady said it herself, there should be no need to lie. It was Li Baozhu who pushed her down the stairs and broke her leg, which gave the latter a chance to rise.

And Ji Meiyun did not shy away from admitting that she cursed Li Baozhu.

Whether the second generation of the sixth lady did something to the three golden flowers of the first generation is unknown.

After all, the person is dead, and no one can ask the truth out of her mouth.

But judging from these two cases and the rumors of cursed dolls, the competition between the dancers in Paramount is quite bad, which means that the younger generation of dancers represented by Ji Meiyun are suspected of harming Li Baozhu.

Zhou Erya put the fourth teacup aside for the time being.

Similarly, the dancers of the first and second generations still have hatred for Li Baozhu, although the sixth lady is dead, she also has friends and seniors, and Qi Limei is still alive - they are also motivated to kill Li Baozhu.

Hatred is often indissolvable in time and space.

In addition, Zhou Erya groaned that Li Baozhu also has two secret boyfriends, one is Xiaokai Zhongqing, a watch industry that provides her with a comfortable life, and the other is Wu Liankui, a "little white face" who provides her with a comfortable life.

Two love nests also create two motivations.

Zhou Erya took two embroidered coasters and put them on the other side.

The suspicion of these two men is relatively small, but it cannot be completely ruled out, and if they know each other's existence, then whatever they do out of jealousy and anger will not be strange.

Then there is the purple sand teapot in front of you.

Zhou Erya stroked the warm pulp and closed her eyes slightly.

What motive does Boss Kim have to kill the top dancer in his dance hall?

For money? For love? Or, what is the reason for not knowing?

He pondered for a long time and beckoned to Adjutant Cai beside him.

"You go check the current business status of Paramount."

This may be the crux of the matter.

In the next two days, the weather in Shanghai entered the steamer-like summer heat, and the trees beside the road were verdant, and they made high-pitched and powerful chirps, but people became more and more unenergetic.

Li Baozhu's disappearance has been going on for almost two weeks, and the heat has gradually decreased, and the citizens have more new things to pay attention to, even if it is the dancing queen, after all, it is not her own family, and if she is gone, she will be gone, regardless of whether she eloped or died, what does it really have to do with everyone?

Not to mention the fact that civilians do not have the opportunity to meet such people at all, they have only seen photos in newspapers. And those children of rich families, there are many warblers and Yanyan around them, Li Baozhu has gone, and there are countless young and beautiful girls for them to enjoy, and with new people, they will soon forget the old people.

"This case dragged on for a bit of a long time." Adjutant Cai withdrew from Han Yu's study and said to Zhou Erya.

Zhou Erya was still elegantly tasting the pastry chef's pastries, flipping through the Paramount information collected by Adjutant Cai, there was no trace of impatience on his face, the game of intelligence had already been seen, and the part that needed to be carefully verified, he had never been very interested.

"How long does Ah Yu have left?"

"Just now he said that he had already made the prototype of the mechanism, and it would only take a day at most......

Han Yu figured out the prototype of the mechanism, claiming that as long as he was given another day, he would definitely be able to adjust it to perfection.

"I want to finish him as soon as possible." Although Zhou Erya's expression and tone were very calm and calm, she interrupted Adjutant Cai's words, put down the silver spoon, took the fan on the side, and folded it open, "It's not sweet at all, it's not as delicious as the blueberry cake in the Peace Hotel." ”

Adjutant Cai smiled bitterly, it turned out that the young master was not because of the case, but because he felt that the dessert was not delicious enough, so he became irritable.

There's no way, after Han Yu came, he would ask the pastry chef to put less sugar every time, so he ...... Even if the best pastry chef in Shanghai is invited, Zhou Erya cannot be satisfied.

Just when Zhou Erya was about to go to the Peace Hotel for afternoon tea, someone was sent over first.

There was a once-in-a-lifetime theft of the Peace Hotel.

The patrol room of the French Concession summoned everyone who went to the Peace Hotel that day to check on Lai Baozhu's room.

James stood beside the French superintendent with a bitter face, his big blue eyes wet with pitiful tears, and he was almost about to cry.

"Zhou, I'm done this time! All the belongings deposited by Ms. Lai were stolen. ”

Stored in a Peace Hotel safe, it was supposed to be one of the safest places in Shanghai for personal belongings. However, James was cunning and cunning, and he had guessed from the rumors in the newspaper that Li Baozhu would definitely never return, and when he saw Zhou Erya coming over that day, he was sure that something had happened to her, so he moved the idea of taking this thing in private.

But James is very cautious, and he never dares to move things to his home until the final result, but he can't hold back when he thinks about the gold, silver and jewelry, so he secretly opens the safe in the office from time to time to check the friction to comfort his greed.

It was in the morning when he was alone in examining the items that someone suddenly sneaked into his office and knocked him unconscious with a stick, taking away all the gold and papers.

James woke up and saw the empty safe, knew that it was not good, and wanted to hide it, but his subordinates saw him fainting in the office and had already called the police.

When the police came, the hotel checked the files, and of course they knew what was stolen.

As a hotel manager, James's safe was stolen by opening the guest's safe, and his decades of experience were useless, leaving him with only a path of dismissal and returning home.

"Zhou, you have to help me, if you hadn't told me that the guest wouldn't be coming back, how would I have ...... How do you want to see those artworks? ”

He muttered, refusing to admit that he was just trying to steal, only that he envied those works of art, so he opened it privately, but he didn't expect it to cause such serious consequences.

"Is it so hard to admit your greed?" Han Yu asked directly and mercilessly.

James's old face flushed, touched his nose, and secretly glanced at Zhou Erya, for fear that he would not speak for himself.

Zhou Erya didn't pay attention to him, his eyes looked around at everyone, his expression was still calm and indifferent, as if the Peace Hotel was bombed in this second, and he would not be moved.

"It's okay, I just don't have a reason to gather everyone, since most of the people have already arrived, maybe we can find an opportunity today to solve the murder and theft case at the same time." Zhou Erya was still holding a folding fan in her hand, slowly opened it, and said.

When Han Yu heard this, he immediately pricked up his ears and looked at these people carefully, because Zhou Erya probably meant that it was probably the same person who killed Li Baozhu and stole his relics.
