Chapter 25: Bad News

Seeing Su Jiatang, Su Tao frowned, "Uncle, why are you here?" ”

A wicked smile appeared on Su Jiatang's handsome face, "What? My little peach, don't you want to see me? My heart hurts. Are you simply not wanting to see my uncle? Or is there something you want to hide from me? ”

"I didn't mean anything else, I was just surprised how you could come to me so suddenly in the middle of the night. You're gone, what will the company do?" Although she was full of disdain for Su Jiatang, and she didn't think that his stay in the company had any practical effect, she still greeted in a gentle tone, only hoping that he didn't come to ask where the million went. Although one million is not a large amount for their family, it is always suspicious that she has spent such a sum of money at one time, but Su Tao is just unwilling to let Su Jiatang ask, even if she thinks of the playful expression on his face when he hears his explanation, she feels disgusted.

"Haha, little peach. I think you and I both know that if I leave the company for a day or two, even if it is a month or two, it will not necessarily lead to the collapse of the company. The old man has been at the helm behind his back. He wouldn't be at ease that I, a loser in his eyes, was in charge of his family business, and if it wasn't for the fact that I didn't have a choice but to do it now, it wouldn't be my turn to sit in this position, wouldn't it? The corners of Su Jiatang's mouth hooked up a sarcastic smile, many girls think this smile is quite sexy, especially in a man who looks chic and beautiful, and is full of charm. But Su Tao doesn't like him, and she doesn't like him all along. Even when Su Ying was still very attached to a humorous and handsome uncle like Su Jiatang when she was a child, Su Tao was unwilling to approach Su Jiatang, she felt that Su Jiatang's smile was very insincere, full of danger, which made her instinctively reluctant to approach such an uncontrollable man. Yes, Su Ying seems to like Su Jiatang a lot, maybe because one is a wanderer, the other is a nightclub girl, the two of them have a common language, and they get together at every turn to exchange experiences of eating, drinking and having fun. I remember that at that time, it seemed that my parents were still very unhappy about this matter, and they were afraid that Su Ying would be taken by Su Jiatang, so they tried their best to prevent my sister from interacting with Su Jiatang. But then I don't know why the relationship between these two people slowly drifted apart, and even in the end, my sister was almost full of ridicule for Su Jiatang, but at that time, my sister was cynical to everyone and looked cold, not to mention Su Jiatang, who took the opportunity to quickly take over the company?

"Grandpa naturally has his reasons for what he decides. I, as a junior, don't have any qualifications to evaluate casually. If he approves of your abilities, uncle, why should you belittle yourself? Su Tao played Tai Chi with Su Jiatang lightly, and she couldn't be more clear about Su Jiatang. He always speaks in a weird way, there are things in his words, he never refuses to say anything directly, he always has to go around in several circles, which is quite annoying, at this time, he generally only pretends not to understand, and says some correct and useless clichΓ©s, which make Su Jiatang feel boring, and he will quickly cut to the topic.

Sure enough, I saw Su Jiatang smile slightly evilly, and squinted at Su Tao, "Xiao Tao, you are so calm and promising." Sometimes, when I look at you, I feel really terrible. ”

"Uncle, if you have anything to say, just say it, why bother to play dumb riddles with me? You know, I'm a relatively straight person, and I really can't hear any hints......" Su Tao casually met Su Jiatang's eyes.

"Hehe, since that's the case, I'll just say it bluntly, Xiao Tao, you've been spending a lot of money lately...... Losing a million on your credit card in one day doesn't really look like your usual style. ”

"Hey, it's not like my usual style, so whose consistent style is it? Uncle you? Su Tao couldn't help but leak a sneer on his face, "I'm sorry, uncle, I don't mean anything else." But your usual consumption habits, just a million should not be in your eyes at all. You don't come all the way to Xingshi to ask for guilt just because of this, right? ”

"Little Peach, young man, don't be so angry, I'm just your uncle, your family, not your enemy, why do you always carry a gun and a stick to me?" Su Jiatang was not angry at all, sure enough, he was proud of the spring breeze, and his attitude would be extraordinarily cordial and kind when everything went well, and the pleasure of being in charge of the company made Su Jiatang turn a blind eye to Su Tao's ridicule for a long time, "It's understandable that you spend money, why should I ask you for being a teacher, it's just because you are a middle school student, and you usually don't have anything special to spend money, and suddenly you spend so much money at once, you won't want to buy a car like me, and you don't have a driver's license." I'm worried about whether you have been blackmailed or encountered financial fraud, so I can't worry about you. After all, Su Ying had an accident not long ago, and you are my brother's only child......"

Su Tao didn't believe his reasonable-sounding and humane-caring rhetoric at all, and replied calmly, "You are so relieved, why don't you call me first." What's more, if you really want to check, can't you find out that my money is spent in the art museum, how can I be extorted? To tell you the truth, I just saw a painting in an art gallery and spent a million on a painting that I liked. ”

"Of course there's nothing wrong with that. But you painted a million, I don't know what kind of master you bought? Su Jiatang raised his eyebrows, and there was naturally a chic style in his peach blossom eyes.

"That's my own business, uncle. You don't have to ask so carefully, do you? Su Tao also raised his eyebrows in his way, "I don't think this matter is worth your special trip." You should have something else to do when you come to Yangcheng, why don't you ......"

Su Jiatang sighed, "Xiao Tao, you are still so smart, I really didn't come to Yangcheng for you, but for your sister's case." The police contacted me, and the first phase of their investigation has ended, so I came today to go to the Yangcheng Public Security Bureau to understand the situation, I just came from the Public Security Bureau, and I feel the need to come......"

Su Tao was stunned for a moment, then her face changed, she grabbed Su Jiatang's shoulder tightly, and said eagerly, "Their investigation has a result, right?" Who is it? Did they lock up the suspect? Who killed my sister? ”

Su Jiatang hurriedly reassured, "Don't worry, Su Tao, you listen to me slowly." You don't get excited, the results of the preliminary investigation are like this - it was an accident, there was no murderer. ”

"What? How is this possible! Su Tao shouted in disbelief.

"You listen to me slowly, I didn't believe it at first, but all the evidence suggests that it wasn't a murder." Su Jiatang said, "First of all, the fire in the mall was caused by the aging of the warehouse circuit, and no one deliberately set the fire, which means that the place where Su Ying stayed happened to be the source of the fire, so she couldn't escape......

"What do you mean? So why did she go to the warehouse after spending so much time in the mall? How did she get in? And it doesn't make sense, even if she was at the source of the fire, she should have been the first to find out about the fire, and she should have known to evacuate first, why didn't she come out? Su Tao was shocked, but also felt suspicious.

"This has not yet been investigated, and the police said that it cannot be ruled out that she has the intention of committing suicide, so ......," Su Jiatang said in embarrassment.

"Nonsense, she didn't light this fire, did she want to kill herself when she saw the fire? How can it be? Could it be that she is locked up in a warehouse and can't get out? "Su Tao is not easy to fool.

"Ordinary people can't enter the warehouse, since she has a key to get in......" Su Jiatang just continued to relay.

"Can't you tell if the door is locked or not?" Su Taofu asked again.

"The extent of the damage is too great, and it is still being restored and tested, but there is not much hope ......," Su Jiatang replied.

"And what if they can't detect it?" Su Tao then asked.

"Then judging from the current evidence, it can be determined that it was an accident, and the mall will be fully responsible......"

"How so? How so? This obviously doesn't make sense......" Su Tao's voice trembled a little and asked, "Why didn't the police contact me?" ”

Su Jiatang said helplessly: "Maybe the police feel that they should contact Su Ying's guardian more than ...... A child. ”

Su Tao said angrily, "I'm not a child anymore. After going through all these things...... Do you think I can still be a quiet well-behaved kid and pretend nothing happened? ”

"Oh poor boy, of course I know what you've been through, but the police, they don't understand anything......" Su Jiatang soothed in his soft tone, but Su Tao only felt that his tone was full of hypocrisy and indifference.

"Take me to meet them, I want them to tell me in person, they haven't investigated anything......" Su Tao immediately interrupted Su Jiatang.

"Xiao Tao, calm down, even if you go to the police, they won't agree with you, there is still a lot of follow-up investigation work to be done in this fire, I don't think they have much time to appease you......"

"I don't want any appeasement, I want an explanation!" Su Tao said annoyedly.

"Whatever it is, they can't give it to you!" Su Jiatang looked at Su Tao's eyes quietly, "I think your physical and mental condition has been a little worrying recently, if you still have free time, I suggest you pay more attention to yourself." ”

After speaking, Su Jiatang walked to the door, took off his windbreaker jacket from the hanger at the door, put it on in a chic and natural manner, and then turned around gracefully and said, "Xiao Tao, it's so late, I won't bother." You're tired today, so get some rest at night. Good bye. And he opened the door and departed.

Su Tao stood alone in the empty apartment, feeling as uncomfortable as turning over the river and the sea. The tide of pain came to her in waves, and she felt that she would never have a chance to be at peace. She looked at the portrait of Su Ying, who had just been placed in the corner of the table by herself, and the sister in the painting was still smiling, smiling wildly.
