"Do I know you?" My first sentence is a straightforward self-question.
Stunned by my words, the man suddenly looked at me with inexplicable eyes, "Why do you ask that?" ”
Obviously, he didn't remember me. Just curious, so I want to know.
"We've seen it." I was a little confused, "Do you remember the last time in Beijing, there was a girl who was intimidated by a little girl named Aim?" ”
“…… You're that girl? The boy still didn't recognize me, probably because the makeup had changed too much, he could only gradually wake up in doubt, and then, he suddenly had some guilty eyes, "I'm sorry, I apologized to you on behalf of Aim for the incident last time......"
"It's okay, I've forgotten about that for a long time." I tried my best to smile as best I could, "Mr. Sarsir, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
"......" The boy had a black face, he didn't expect me to get rid of the embarrassment so quickly, and the two encounters with him were so abrupt, he probably didn't know how to answer me.
"Mr. Sarsir, you just played a good piano piece." I'll get back to the topic.
"Did you hear it all?" The boy was a little surprised.
"Hmm. Dream Wedding is a song that I have loved since I was a child, but just now my husband was able to play it as if it were a real person like Mr. Richard Clyde. I explained earnestly.
"Thank you." The man is very Burmese, "I didn't expect that the little brother loves this music so much, if I am lucky enough to meet next time, how about playing a song for the little brother?" ”
"That's great...... "I'm happy, but when a whim stirs up my doubts, I'm calm again." Sir, may I ask you one thing? ”
"Hmm." The man nodded confusedly.
"Do you know a person named Bai Xu?"
However, when he heard this, a pair of eyes that were secretly snooping suddenly lit up. Perhaps, this is the point that the host wants to hear.
The boy was just slightly stunned, and then replied stunned, "I don't know." ”
"Sir, don't you really know this man?" I hung my eyes and repeated the question in my heart again, but I still felt a sense of loss in my heart.
"I don't know. I have never heard this name, but listening to this name, it should be a Chinese. The boy replied lightly. Looking at his serious expression, it doesn't look like he's lying.
"That'...... Does the sir have siblings? I asked suddenly, abruptly.
"This ......" the boy was a little strange, "I don't seem to have heard my parents talk about it, I have any ...... about my brother and brother"
"So, Sir should be an only child?"
"Well, sort of." The boy was noncommittal, "Anyway, since I was a child, I was alone at home." ”
"Oh......" I nodded gloomily, but my heart was cold and silent with a sadness that crossed me.
"You don't seem to be very happy......" The boy quickly noticed my sudden change in expression.
"No,......" I replied lightly, but I hid all my thoughts one by one, it seems that he is not the person I am looking for at all, probably just looks alike. By the way, sir, I'm in a bit of a hurry, I'll have to go first. ”
After saying that, I left in a hurry, for fear that if I delayed for too long, Mrs. Zhang would not find me, and she would be worried.
However, without knowing it, the pair of doubtful eyes just now silently sent him away.
However, in a hospital, a group of police officers had just arrived, and suddenly a person called the girl.
"Hey, Dr. Xu, come here. Oh no, something happened to the hospital......"
"What?" Just as he was about to investigate the person related to his sister's death, an urgent call suddenly rang.
"Oops, there's a lot of police coming to the hospital. They had to take the patient, but you told me that the patient had surgery, and no one was allowed to disturb him......"
"Good! I'll come right over. The conscientious Chen Ya immediately hung up the phone and hurried to the hospital.
However, when she arrived, she saw this.
"Don't take him, he's in a vegetative state now." A doctor stops a group of policemen.
"Ah...... Pander to...... Ah Jin ...... "The man was lying on the bed stupidly and shouting a person's name.
"Who is Ah Jin?" Xu Yayi frowned, and she looked at the man in front of her with some distraction.
"Doctor Xu, you see this person is so stupid that he can't speak clearly, and they still insist on taking this man away......" Doctor Yi said to Dr. Chen, and then pointed to the police officer next to him.
"Actually, we just took him back to get some information."
"People are stupid, how can they visit?" The doctor was furious.
"However, there must be a conclusion to this case. You can't keep this suspect hanging like this! A policeman and a female doctor confronted each other.
"Enough!" Chen Yaya was already upset, and their arguments happened to collide with her anger.
With just one sentence, the people around him immediately fell silent. Sure enough, the status of the chief doctor is extraordinary.
"At present, the patient is in a semi-vegetative condition. At least, in his subconscious, he still vaguely remembers some important people. Xu Ya said in a calm tone, "However, although the situation has been decided, it has not been long since the patient has undergone surgery, and he will have to stay for at least a month before he can be discharged from the hospital." If the police insist on taking the patient away, regardless of his life, then I will not force him to stay. ”
"Since Dr. Xu has said so, then let's not disturb the patient's rest, let's put this matter aside for the time being, and look for other clues first." In the group of policemen, a powerful policeman spoke, "Doctor Xu, excuse me." Brothers, let's go. ”
"Officer Yang, walk slowly......" Xu Yayi still politely sent the group of police away.
"By the way, you can help me contact the patient's family, I'm afraid that I will be handed over to the police like this, I don't feel at ease......" After coming back to his senses, Xu Yayi began to instruct the people around him.
After finding Mrs. Zhang, I was exhausted and out of breath. However, after hearing the conversation between Mrs. Zhang and a real estate owner, I felt a wave of excitement in my heart.
If the guess is correct, Mrs. Zhang plans to move to Shanghai soon, and I am her maid, so naturally I will follow her. Then, from now on, I will be able to see Shanghai every day.
However, when I looked at the stars in the sky, I was a little flustered.
Mrs. Zhang...... "I tried to call her.
"Huh?" The guest she was talking to was gone.
"Well, where are we staying tonight......"
"To our new home, of course."
"A new home?" I didn't react for a while, didn't she just talk to the real estate dealer about buying a house?
"Maybe you don't know it yet. Actually, I had already made an appointment for this new house half a year ago, but at that time, I was still a little short of money, so I paid half of the down payment for the time being, and now, with all the money for the house, we can move in. ”
"So fast?" I'm still surprised.
"Well, we can move in today."
"Really?" I was excited.
"Hmm. Isn't that great? Mrs. Zhang's tone of affirmation, "Don't you really want to see Shanghai every day?" Now, your wish can finally come true. ”
So, Mrs. Zhang immediately made a phone call, and soon after that, a luxury car arrived.
I almost forgot Mrs. Zhang's noble identity, it seems that if I please Mrs. Zhang's backer, not only enjoy living in a new house and riding a luxury car, but also enjoy more undesirable treatment.
On the wedding night, when Xu Cheng was looking for someone, he accidentally broke into the room where Boss Xu and Sarsir were talking.
"Excuse me, Mr. Sarsir, for interrupting." As soon as the boy entered the room, he found a place next to the two and sat down, but the two who were chatting were caught off guard, and then looked at the person who came in at the same time.
"Dad, I want to ask you something." Xu Cheng saw that he had interrupted the conversation between the two, and in order to alleviate the abruptness, he took the initiative to find the topic.
"You say." Boss Xu had a straight face.
"Why didn't Uncle Xu Hang come......" Xu Cheng finally spit out his heart in a daze.
"This ......" Boss Xu was stunned for a moment, "It may be that your Uncle Xu has not been in a good condition recently, so he can't come." Xu Chengwen explained thoughtlessly, in fact, if he didn't mention it, he was afraid that he would have forgotten this person a long time ago.
"Oh......" Xu Cheng saw the dodge of his father's eyes, and he guessed his father's lie. But because of a gentleman next to him, he was too embarrassed to bother again. Then he left with doubts.
In a police station, a person was forced to make a statement.
"Are you really sure that you just cheated the owner because of a phone call." The handcuffed policeman looked stern.
"Yes. I'm not lying......" The prisoner was a little scared.
"You're lying again!" The policeman was still suspicious, "Tell me where you tied that girl." ”
"Police, police, I really didn't lie. I just got to know the girl's phone number, so I lied to her family. But I didn't kidnap her. ”
"Are you sure?" The handcuffed police were still suspicious.
"Don't believe me, I can provide that girl's mobile phone ......"
However, the handcuffed policeman took the presented mobile phone and analyzed it.
"Are you sure this girl's name is really Ugly Giant?" The policeman asked.
"Yes!"
So, the police called the only contact on the phone.
"Hey, hello." When the woman saw the call from the ugly giant bus, her eyes lit up.
"Hey, hello. I'm a police officer in Jizhou! ”
"Police?" Hearing the other party speak, it seems that something has happened.
"I'm sorry, ma'am. We have not yet found the kidnapped girl. The police were a little distraught, "Also, the owner you reported that the current situation is not very good, and no specific clues have been obtained." Madame Trouble, can you cooperate with our work? ”
"How's that man?" The woman was still anxious to ask about the other party's condition.
"Do you mean the master you announced?"
"Hmm." The woman nodded hurriedly.
"He ......" The handcuffed policeman was about to tell the truth, but was suddenly stopped by a policeman who came in with a "...... boo".
"We are not in a position to inform the other party about the patient's condition for the time being. Officer Yang said that he wanted us to find out the identity of the man, and before we found out, we were not allowed to disclose the slightest information about the patient. One of the men next to him whispered softly in the ear of the handcuffed officer.
"Police, what's wrong with Mr. Fu?" The woman on the phone kept asking.
"Madame is so worried about Mr. Fu, dare to ask, what is the relationship between Madame and Mr. Fu? If you care so much about him, why do you take the initiative to inform this person? As soon as the policeman came to his senses, he quickly asked two questions about the other woman's heart.
"This ......" The woman was stunned for a moment, she thought about it carefully, she really didn't know how she got along with a man, but she couldn't reveal her true identity, otherwise, those things ten years ago would be repeated.
"Oh...... I was a friend of his. The woman was a little nervous, "Actually, I don't want to tell my husband either." It's just that I'm worried that Mr. will risk his own life in order to save the girl. Moreover, he has an important role, and I don't want him to be mistaken for the rest of his life......" the woman explained stunned.
"It seems that the friendship between Madame and Mr. is really touching. However, do you know what the relationship between the kidnapped girl and the husband is? In order to save the girl, Mr. Why would rather use his own inventory. ”
She ...... They should be father-daughter relationships. ”
Why? I heard that Mr. Fu had never found a partner, nor had he heard of his marriage. How did he ......" The policeman wanted to say something, but was suddenly stopped by the woman.
"Actually, that's true. Mr. Fu began to have a crush on a woman named Xue Zijin ten years ago, and Mr. loved the woman, so he swore not to die, but at that time, Xue Zijin was killed and brutally killed by the enemy. And Xue Zijin had a young girl who was entrusted to me at that time. Who knows, Mr. Fu loves women so much that he would rather sacrifice himself to save her daughter. ”
"I see, that's the case......" After listening to the explanation, the police suddenly realized, "However, I heard a certain elder talk about the great deeds of Mrs. Xue, and I heard that ten years ago, Mrs. Xue did a lot of great deeds for the peace of Xiangxi. Now that she has died, her heroic deeds will still remain in the minds of posterity. ”
"So you know that......" the woman was suddenly embarrassed, "but that was ten years ago. I think if something happens to Madame Snow's daughter, I won't be able to explain it to my husband. ”
"You can rest assured that we will do our best to help you find the kidnapped girl. However, how did you determine that the girl was kidnapped in Jizhou? ”
"The robbers told me." The woman replied earnestly.
"Then why do you believe they are telling the truth?"
"Because, two days before she was kidnapped, the girl said that she was going to her hometown in Xiangxi to visit her grandmother's old house, but who knows, she was kidnapped on the way back."
"On the way back?" The handcuffed policeman who answered the phone thought thoughtfully.
"It seems that the prisoner is not lying. He said he robbed the girl's mobile phone after a train on the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway was on its way to Beijing and derailed as it was about to reach the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River in Jizhou. A policeman next to him suddenly whispered in the ear of the handcuffed officer.
"Hmm." Mrs. Zhang's affirmative tone, "She must have been on the way back, so she was killed in Jizhou." ”
"Thank you, Madame, for your cooperation. I will do my best to investigate the girl's condition, Madame, don't worry. As for Mr. Fu's matter, I will inform Madame when the case is settled. After saying that, the police hung up the phone.
"That'...... How is Mr. Fu doing now? When the woman just wanted to say this, she found that the other party had hung up the phone. Is there something important that I can't tell myself, is it that Mr. Fu has an accident, or that he has committed some serious crime.
The whereabouts of the ugly giant bus are still unknown, and the woman is still indignant about the two things, but she has no choice but to sit and wait for the police to hear from her.
In an office, two policemen are deliberating.
……
"Officer Yang, what do you think of this matter?" The police officer who came in to report asked.
"Since it is certain that the girl has not been kidnapped, it is necessary to establish the news that the girl is alive now."
"The girl was involved in an accident on the Beijing-Guangzhou Railway in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and it stands to reason that if the girl was lucky enough to escape the accident, then she should now go in the direction of Zhengzhou. If she is not alive, we can go to the scene of the train accident and find the girl's body. ”
"Well, the analysis is not unreasonable. However, Zhengzhou is so big, it is impossible for us to search from house to house......" Police Officer Yang questioned slightly.
"I came up with a good idea. In this case, let's go to the scene of the incident to find the girl's body, and if we are sure that the girl is still alive, we can go to Zhengzhou to find the girl in the way of Gaojin's search for people, so that the case will be closed soon. ”
"That's a good idea, okay, just do what you say!" After listening to the other party's reasonable analysis, Officer Yang agreed.
Following.
I sat sullenly in the new house that Mrs. Zhang bought, looking at myself in front of the mirror after removing my makeup, so ugly that it didn't match everything in this new home. However, in my heart, I was thinking about what Mrs. Zhang said last night.
"Actually, before I decided to come to Shanghai, I sold the old house in Jizhou ahead of schedule. So, you don't have to worry about not being able to see Shanghai every day in the future. We don't have to go back to Jizhou in the future, from now on, this is our home. ”
"Does Mrs. Zhang like Shanghai too?"
"It's not...... Just because there used to be a job here that I loved. ”
"What job?"
"Dancing Girl......" Mrs. Zhang was a little upset.
When she said the word, I finally understood that Mrs. Zhang had not told me what her profession was at that time. This is a word that sounds beautiful on the surface, but it is a profession that will be discriminated against in the eyes of most people. Because, the dancers on the glamorous stage, in fact, the troubled times backstage are unimaginable. It's no wonder that Mrs. Zhang is so rich.
"Will you discriminate against me too?" However, when Mrs. Zhang said this, I was heartbroken.
"I didn't ...... Actually, it's very good, it's a job that many girls yearn for......"
……
"By the way, how did you meet that man surnamed Zuo?"
"This ...... Actually, Mr. Zuo was my director ten years ago, and because I was discharged from the army, we became good colleagues. ”
"Director?"
"Hmm. That's what the boss means. Mr. Zuo has always served as the city's largest prison inspector, and I was just a small CCP undercover ......"
"Such a big official position......
I've been thinking about these trivial things in my heart, but I'm trying to remember something. In the dark, I always felt that I didn't have a good impression of the man surnamed Zuo, but I don't know why, I can't tell you about this inexplicable and wonderful feeling.
However, in Zuo Chenhao's office, he secretly locked himself and his subordinates in a room.
Zuo Chenhao was still holding a medicine bottle in his hand.
"Are you sure this is a chronic poison powder?"
"Hmm. Its effects are slow, but people who take it do not live more than two years at most. It will torment the owner and die without knowing it. The man explained in detail.
"Is there an antidote to this poison?"
"Ah...... Zo-sama wants an antidote? The subordinate looked at the person in front of him strangely. This poison is limited by the master, but there is no solution. "My men were a little nervous.
"I seem to have killed the wrong person...... Zuo Chenhao felt some palpitations.
"Who?" The subordinates were curious.
"A little girl with a nice face." Zuo Chenhao lightly spit out his heart, "Originally, I wanted to attack Xu Chengwen at that time, but later, when I saw a group of big people around him, I thought about it, but it was not the time. Who knows, at Xu Chengwen's wedding, he met Zhang Ziyi's traitor again. When I wanted to take the opportunity to kill her, I didn't want a little girl behind her to drink this cup of poisoned wine for her. ”
"This ......" his subordinates didn't know what to do when they heard that their master had killed the wrong person.
"Hey...... It's a pity that the little girl," Zuo Chenhao was a little distressed, "However, this girl is useful to us." It's just that I'm afraid that she is too smart, and when the time comes, she will guess that we are the murderer......"
"However, according to the master, there is no antidote to this poison. Unless there is a master or miracle doctor who can test poison, there is only the option of death. ”
"That's it." Zuo Chenhao was a little impatient, "Fortunately, it is chronic and highly toxic, so there is still some time before the poison develops." It's better to help me keep an eye on that girl secretly to see what she is from. It just so happens that I'm going to spend a vacation abroad in the next two days, and when the time comes, I'll be back, so that girl can be used by me......"
"Master Zuo can't have a crush on that girl, right?" His subordinates suddenly made a bold guess.
"Presumptuous!" The person in front of him suddenly pretended to be angry, but he was not very angry, "However, when you say this, I have a good impression of this quietly and delicate-looking girl." ”
"It's not...... Sir, you may have misunderstood, I don't mean that you like this girl, I mean, you see the benefits of that girl to us......" The subordinate quickly explained.
"That's it. Like it or not, this girl is useful to us, and what you have to do now is to draw as much of our relationship with the girl as possible. Zuo Chenhao smiled indifferently, "It's better to do this, you secretly convey my feelings about that girl, but don't let Mrs. Zhang know." ”
"Okay, I'll do it." After saying that, his men fled in disgrace.
I combed my hair for a long time, and when I came back to my senses, I still didn't feel any emotion. I thought about it in front of the mirror for a long time, but there was still no clue. Suddenly, at a very beating moment in the left eyelid, there was a knock on the door.
