Zhong Xian actually has no clue. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
He finally decided to take the initiative because he was controlled by an uneasiness that came from nowhere. That blackmail email was not the source of his unease. This time, the reason for blackmailing him changed. It's different from the email he blackmailed a year ago. This time it's a piece of stuff made up.
The email said that he had killed Xiao Zhu and that the blackmailer had the evidence. If he can pay a hundred thousand. The evidence will not appear. Otherwise, the evidence will be sent to the police.
Zhong Xian's first reaction was to ignore it. He had nothing to do with Xiao Zhu's disappearance. What is there to be afraid of.
The strange thing is that the other party's asking price is still not much, and only 100,000 yuan is extorted in a murder case. It seems that the thirst for money is not so heavy. In other words, there is another possibility, the other party thinks that only this number is needed, and what is the meaning of this number. But the bell string was not convinced. His first instinct, like in college, was that these people were just there to torture him, not really to ask for money.
These blackmailers may just not want him to have a peaceful day.
When did he make such an enemy. What did he do and what kind of people did he harm? So much so that today's calamity has been incurred.
He decided to take the initiative and find the eyes that were staring at him in the shadows.
The first helper he thought of was Dake. After three years of cooperation, they have worked together on the project, and trust has been cultivated. Although at first, Zhong Xian once thought that Dake was not a person who could be deeply acquainted. But after a long period of understanding, Dake is much smarter than he expected, and he is more affectionate.
In addition, neither European Airlines nor Deng Yi had enough time to test.
Deng Yi, he especially didn't want Deng Yi to know. The cause is unknown. Perhaps it was because he was afraid of damaging the good situation that had just been established. At some point, something he longed for turned out to be a fragile object that required his care.
He is willing to tell Dake the content of the extortion email without reservation, and let him find the answer with him.
Dake will be the first to guide European Airlines, and this bell string is not surprising. What's more, this involves Xiao Zhu. He also wanted to hear what European Airlines had to say.
"None of us told the whole truth." Zhong Xin summed it up. Looking at the two partners in front of him.
This should have been a time when they were extremely happy, and at the beginning of the trio, they had a big project and a very good start. It is a good start for their future cooperation and development. But now, Zhong Xian is clearly not happy.
"In the past few years in Li's head office, we have all learned to reserve, and to say that it is better to call it reservation, but in fact it is false and lying. We are used to telling lies about everything. Because it will keep us safe. Deng Yi has been investigating for so long, and he can't find out the name. He would never have imagined that no one in Mr. Li's company would tell him the truth. Although everyone and Xiao Zhu's disappearance may have nothing to do with it. But lying has become a habit. Zhong Xian said and took a sip of coffee. He rarely drinks coffee. Coffee can exacerbate the burden on his brain and even cause him headaches. But today, he wanted to make himself a little more mental.
Both Dake and European Airlines were silent. Wait for Zhong Xin to continue.
Zhong Xian gave them enough time to think, and then turned to one of them: "European Airlines, you said that you haven't seen him since Xiao Zhu left his job. ”
"It's a lie." European Airlines admits it calmly. "You're right. None of us were telling the truth. Sometimes you think you can avoid trouble. You must know that after Mr. Li's scoundrel who reversed black and white, he had to become like this, otherwise he would not be able to live in peace. Sometimes it may be nothing but a reflex, as you said, a habit. I've seen Xiao Zhu. He nodded, "I did." ”
Zhong Xian looked at Dake again.
Dake looked at him suspiciously: "You ask me?" Of course I haven't. I'm used to lying. But not for you. I'm defenseless against you. As long as I am a friend, I am honest with them. Not like this vase. He did not forget to sarcastically say that "I knew he didn't tell the truth." ”
Air Europe wrinkled his nose, indicating that he was too lazy to take care of the university.
Zhong Xin looked at European Airlines again.
European Airlines took the initiative to say: "Xiao Zhu said before leaving that he was following a project. When he was fired from the company, he lost his platform, and he hoped that I could cooperate with him. Although it was a small job, I didn't refuse to come. Xiao Zhu suddenly lost news later, and the world evaporated, I didn't think much about it, but I didn't take it seriously. Later, just before Officer Deng appeared, oh, he wasn't a policeman, was he, it was a customer that Xiao Zhu had contacted before Deng Yi appeared, and wanted to replenish the rock wool and let the quotation be sent in the mailbox. The email address that Xiao Zhu left for the customer at that time was mine. So, as you later knew, I pretended to be Xiao Zhu to find that customer, anyway, it was just a replenishment. If you can succeed, you can earn one or two hundred thousand. ”
"Why do you use Xiao Zhu's business card?"
"I don't want to go through the trouble of explaining. The other party made it clear that his name and phone number were written on the list of suppliers. Since the other party only found him through the records, they are not sure what he looks like. Why bother to explain? I don't want to use my own name either. I don't have a source of goods, so I got some samples in the building materials market. I don't know where Xiao Zhu's previous supply came from, and I guess I bought it casually. I'm afraid that if something goes wrong in the future, it'll come to me. Using his business card to impersonate him, it's a hundred. I just want to make a little money. ”
"It's in line with this hurtful style of doing things." Dake is quite gloating.
"At that time, I was very short of money when I had something at home, and I was desperate, and I could do anything. However, I've gotten through that. Now, we're doing things together, and I'm absolutely going to be 100 percent sincere. To you, without reservation. ”
Neither Dake nor Zhong Xian responded. Such high-sounding words are useless to them.
Dake laughed and raised his voice: "Don't say such things to us, Zhong Xiangang said that you have a habit of lying, and you dare to take us as a ghost." ”
"Really. Wouldn't I be stupid not to cherish this opportunity to work together? I don't want to mess around without a goal anymore, I can't do anything alone, and I don't want to live like I'm crazy with money. We're going to make that money soon. With this project alone, I can get a hundred thousand after three months in proportion. What else can I do not show sincerity to reassure you? ”
"Dogs can't change their eating/. This quote is tailor-made for you. Dake said.
"You eat / all the time." The European Airlines sat up straight, no longer holding back as before. "What did you do to Xiao Zhu in the first place? If the bell strings do not appear. You're a complete villain. When he comes, you pretend to be a dog, and show great loyalty to him. Everybody is here to make money. Why do you boast of belittleing me? ”
Dake was attacked by European Airlines like this, and felt that he had no face: "Damn! You can quite tell. Then make the blackmail clear. Don't pretend you don't know. ”
"Mr. Li was blackmailed, I know! I'll tell you the truth, I knew it then. But I didn't know it was done by Xiao Zhu. ”
The bell string kept stirring the coffee in the cup when the spoon suddenly fell onto the marble table. The other two looked at him.
"Mr. Li was indeed blackmailed?" Bell String picks up the spoon.
"Yes." European Airlines looked at him.
Dake leaned back in his rattan chair and said, "How do you know?" We don't know at all. ”
The airline only hesitated for two seconds before Dake began to sarcastically mock him. "What are you pondering? What kind of lies are you going to make. ”
"It's not. I don't know what to say to you. In fact, Mr. Li told me personally. ”
"He told you?" The bell string stared at European Airlines.
Dake smiled: "I remembered. Mr. Li used to be very good to European Airlines. European Airlines used to work as an executive in the company. Zhong, after you came, he turned into business. Mr. Li trusted and loved him at that time. ”
"Loving a fart." European Airlines said. "He's not a hypocrisy who cares about anyone. I used to ask him how to make a warm expression anytime and anywhere, so that anyone can feel that you are sincere and moved by you. He said it was practiced. It took decades to practice like this. He especially knows how to buy hearts and minds, as you have all learned. He was very fond and trusted of me at first. Fart. He won't trust anyone. He told me about it because he suspected that I was the one who blackmailed him. Because, I have the longest time in the company, and I know the most about him. ”
"He suspects you of blackmailing him?" Dakexiao's waist was bent. European Airlines looked at him inexplicably. Zhong Xian vaguely knew what he was laughing at, probably because Dake suspected that the person who blackmailed Zhong Xian was also European Airlines.
"So, is it Mr. Li that you blackmailed? It won't be in the name of Xiao Zhu again. Is it by email again, anyway, you didn't just say that you and Xiaozhu share a business mailbox. Does Xiao Zhu himself know? ”
"You're smiling. Of course I didn't do it. ”
"How to prove it."
"How can you prove my innocence?"
"What reason do you have to defend yourself?"
"One reason is enough. Me, do I have that guts? The two companions looked back and forth. You're looking too highly of me. When I was driven crazy by money, I didn't dare to commit a crime. ”
Zhong Xian said: "Then do you think it may be Xiao Zhu?" ”
European Airlines hesitated again.
"Why don't you answer directly." Dake looked at him mockingly.
"If he were alone, I don't think it would be. Unless he has accomplices. He's just being taken advantage of. ”
"How can he not do it alone? It's just an email, and there's no technical difficulty. And he seems to be short of money too. ”
"Nope. He's just like me, a wretch, and he doesn't have the guts at all. And he's even more mindless. ”
"Don't always think of others, and don't think of yourself so stupidly. Xiao Zhu We all think he is a grandson, but he still deceived a little girl who is less than 20 years old, and he is pregnant. Isn't this also a skill? ”
"Mr. Li transferred 180,000 yuan to Xiao Zhu's account. Pay attention here. "The bell string interrupted them." Mr. Li argued that it was a payment to the manufacturer. In order not to avoid tax on development/invoices, so transfer money from a private account. As for why he didn't transfer it directly to the manufacturer. He said that at that time, it was because the manufacturer was responsible for contacting Yunyun by Xiao Zhu. ”
"It's really going straight to Xiao Zhu's account. Is Xiao Zhu a real-name blackmailer? Have the guts? ”
"That's what's weird."
Zhong Xian thought for a while and said, "What will you do to blackmail Mr. Li?" ”
Dake immediately said: "I still need to talk about it." It must be his and Chen Kang's business. Raising a junior. If his wife knew, he would have lost his money. ”
Zhong Xin looked at European Airlines. European Airlines did not take a stand, as if it was thinking about some problem. "Do you think that's the case?" Zhong Xian said.
European Airlines shook his head slowly: "I don't know. ”

In the evening, Zhong Xin had a headache. He went to the hospital temporarily. He hurriedly said goodbye to Dake and European Airlines, and drove to the University of Hong Kong Hospital.
Doctors deduced that he may have had a recurrence of the sequelae of the concussion. He drank a lot of alcohol the first night and had another cup of coffee this afternoon. This may be the main trigger.
"When did you get your brain injury?" The doctor asked him.
Zhong Xian shook his head, and suddenly remembered: "I was hit by a car some time ago. Not serious. ”
"When's it?"
"Two months ago."
The doctor looked at him and shook his head. "Not true. You have an old scar on your skull. At least a few years ago. ”
Zhong Xian looked at the doctor in a daze. He doesn't remember. But with such a serious injury, he shouldn't have been unaware of where it came from.
"Let's do a brain CT." The doctor said. Give him a bill.
"I don't remember the injury."
"It probably happened to you a few years ago, you had a severe brain hit, and you had a brief amnesia. This is very common in concussion patients, there is no memory during the brain injury, the memory before the injury is not affected, the memory after the recovery is fine, and it can be coherent with the previous one, and it will not affect life. ”
Zhong Xian didn't understand it. "You mean. I did get hurt, probably very badly injured in my brain. But I forgot all that. What I forgot was the memory of the time I was injured. How long do you estimate it took for this old wound on my skull to heal, I wonder how long I have forgotten, a month, a week? I didn't have a blank period of time. ”
"That's not a good thing to say. Most of them only forget about the hours they were injured. It is also relatively rare to completely forget everything. ”
Zhong Xian walked out of the doctor's office with the CT sheet and went to the CT examination area. Feeling intense nausea and dizziness, he rested for a moment in a chair in the corner of the hallway. When he was in physical pain, his mind was full of Deng Yi. It's a strange thing.
He had never trusted and relied on someone so quickly. He had never had such a natural and strong need for anyone. Did they really never know each other?
If the doctor is right. What did he forget?
'Why are you sitting in the back?' ’
'You slept with that rich woman?' ’
'Oh, why do you say that?' ’
'You're disgusting. ’
'Sit down. I'll take you for a ride, eat steak, go to nightclubs, don't you always want to get a driver's license, give you practice, you use BMW X5 to practice car, cow, right? ’
'This is my first and last ride in your car. We will break up in the future. ’
'You're not done. ’
'Please drive and watch the road. I don't want to die with you. ’
The light gradually brightened, Zhong Xian looked angrily at the people in the back seat, and the young man who looked like Deng Yi looked out of the car window with disdain, refusing to look at him. He couldn't remember who he was, he just felt so angry and aggrieved.
'Why did I do that?' It's not all for you! ’
Zhong Xian woke up suddenly. It was the security guard who was shaking his shoulder. "The clinic is closed." Zhong Sine got up from his seat, and he missed the time for the CT exam.
His headache lessened somewhat. He took the slip, staggered to the parking lot, and got into his car. He found a bottle of painkillers from the car's storage compartment and another box of Prozac. He thought for a moment and chose to eat the latter.
After five minutes, he felt a lot happier. But he couldn't remember why he was in this parking lot, and he couldn't remember where he was going. He felt he had something important to do. But no matter how much he banged on the head, he couldn't remember.
A wave of nausea welled up. He barely managed to hold it down.
He rested in the driver's seat with his eyes closed. Wait for your brain to return to normal. Wait for the memory to come back.
Deng Yi.
Where are you from.
Again there is memory. He was sitting in a bush with his back against the front wheel of his car. He slowly opened his eyes. I don't know where I am or how I got here.
After a while, he realized that this was the back of Deng Yi's villa. He drove his car here and parked on the grass next to the driveway of the villa.
It's dark again.
From this point of view, there is no light in the villa. Deng Yi may not be at home. His parents didn't come back either. The night breeze blows through the hair. In the distance, there was still the sound of traffic.
Zhong Xian didn't know why he was in tears. His headache was no longer felt, but his heartache was more intense than ever.
He dialed the phone to Deng Yi.
"I have a word for you." He said. "You'll find it a terrible word."
Then, later he said something, he forgot.
Conscious again, he saw Deng Yi standing in front of him. He hurriedly got up from the ground.
"Did you drink too much again?" Deng Yi looked at him and said.
Zhong Xian shook his head. "I didn't drink a single thing."
"You still haven't drunk it in this state?"
"Concussion sequelae. You know. Guilty. "He couldn't stand on his feet and almost fell. Deng Yi didn't help him, his hands were dragged into his trouser pockets, looking at him.
"Do you hate me? Want to break up with me? You don't have to say it. I'll tell you for you. Zhong Xian said, leaning back against the car door.
Deng Yi took out a pack of tissues from his pocket and took out an eye that stepped forward to wipe the bell string. "Make yourself feel like a psychopath." He said. "Crying and mourning?"
Only then did Zhong Xian realize that he had been crying. "I'm going to tell you, I have to tell you, it's in my heart, I'm going to be unable to hold it. I'm going to tell you a terrible thing. ”
"Don't say it. I'll take you to the hospital for a check-up. Deng Yi pulled him away from the car door.
"I just came out of the hospital. You're going to hear me out. I never told you. ”
Deng Yi hesitated slightly, pulled the bell string and walked towards the villa. A terrible word. You just said that. ”
Zhong Xian was halfway but refused to go. He hugged one of Deng Yi's arms, and his eyes rubbed against Deng Yi's shoulder. But then his tears flowed even harder. "Do you remember? Everything I do, it's for you. ”
