Chapter 9 Patrons

Guan Zheng is dead.

The first person to find him was Uncle Chai from the Helping Hands Office, and it was one of his offices that arrived that morning. The doors and windows of the office were locked, and when Uncle Chai opened the door with his own key, he found that the light was on in the closed room.

Guan Zheng sat at the desk, had been dead for a long time, his face was gray, his face was full of blood marks from his own scratches, and one of his eyes also fell and fell on the desk, looking straight at the person who entered the door. The computer has been completely destroyed and no data can be restored. Moreover, he also died of a drug overdose.

The most surprising thing: the corpse of a battered kitten was found in his office!

A man who talks about maintaining social justice and the dignity of the law all day long died of drugs, and he also abused animals before he died, which really made those who were usually offended by being locked up laugh at him behind his back, and Xiao Xia was very angry about this.

Whether he is extreme or not, his intentions are good, he just wants to help people!

Shortly after Guan Zheng's death, several of the founders of the aid organization decided to send someone else to replace Guan Zheng. But before that person came, Xiao Xia, as the middle force of this firm, had to sort out the relevant materials, and the case had to be continued, and Guan Zheng's memorial service had to be arranged, so he was very busy. And because several deaths were so similar, they aroused the suspicion of the police, and Xiao Xia also actively assisted the police in the investigation.

The police intervened to solve Natsu's problem.

Because Guan Zheng wants her to avenge him, but she knows that she can't act on her own. Even if she followed his last wish and secretly went to investigate, Ruan Zhan and Wan Li would not let her go. In fact, she will still implicate them, and in the end, it is not her own business.

So even though Guan Zheng didn't let her tell anyone what was suspicious, she still reported what she knew and the contents of the email to the police. Of course, the black cat and the moving poppy were not included, as that would not add more clues and would rather reduce the credibility of the information she provided.

Let someone who has the ability to investigate this matter! Although she was a little sorry for Guan Zheng's entrustment, she could only do that.

And herself, of course, took the opportunity to rely on Ruan Zhan to live, but she couldn't immediately implement the plan of 'surrounding the city from the countryside' that she dreamed of, and she didn't even have a chance to talk about it. She was too busy at this time, and when he went out early in the morning, he fell asleep; He was busy when she came back from the outside tired; She was asleep, and he was still greeting guests.

They are like night and day, there is no time to merge, but although there are only a few seconds of looking at each other and smiling, Xiao Xia also feels very happy! What's more, she finally has a busy time.

"Tomorrow is Guan Zheng's memorial service." Xiao Xia has been idle since the morning, so she has been circling around Ruan Zhan, and at this moment she is lying on the bar and watching Ruan Zhan wipe her cup in the bar.

"Can you finally rest?" Ruan Zhan asked with a smile.

Xiao Xia nodded, and when she first noticed Ruan Zhan smiling, her eyes were focused and her expression was gentle.

"Wanli with you?"

"Yes, he said he was acting as my boyfriend, so that I wouldn't look like Guan Zheng's surviving person!"

"He just likes to study specific people for specific occasions!" Ruan Zhan stopped what he was doing, "When we were young, when we were young, there was anything going on in the town, such as weddings, funerals, giving birth to children, or holding a meeting, he would pull me to go and see it. I didn't like crowded places, he did, and then he came back and told me about everyone's reactions to everything, and I was so annoyed that I wanted to kill him. But I think that's the main reason why he chose to be a psychiatrist in the end, because he likes to dissect people's minds. But my father said that he was so curious that he had to look into everything, sooner or later—"

Ruan Zhan suddenly stopped talking. Because he found that he was usually alienated and wary of people, and he disappeared completely when he arrived here in Xiaoxia, and even unknowingly told these childhood memories. He never wants to mention the past, and even if Wanli sometimes recalls it, he won't talk about it.

Xiao Xia knew that Ruan Zhan was not used to showing his heart, so he wisely kept silent, and instead of asking, he diverted the topic.

"What's your opinion on that?"

"The cat is the key in this matter, and of course the wriggling plant is the same. Unfortunately, we know too little about the situation to draw conclusions. But as far as I know, some ethnic minorities worship and sacrifice all kinds of living beings, and some also use this as a totem, combined with the place that Guan Zheng wrote on the computer when he was dying, I think everything here should be inextricably linked to there. ”

"Do you want to go and see the graves of the dead in other places and make sure again?"

"There's no need. Although the seeds of this poppy must have retained the magical properties of not being burned by fire and not being sealed by cement, but you said that they withered as soon as they left the soil, I think this should be the last growth, and the demonic and vegetative properties are all disappearing in the moment of leaving the soil. I've read your information, and those people have been dead for a long time, and they were cremated and buried in a cemetery or placed in a specific place where ashes are stored. These places are either cleaned by a fixed person, or managed by a special person, and will be removed as soon as they see a foreign object. If you go now, you won't find any evidence. ”

"Yes, this matter has been handed over to the police, it's none of my business!" Xiao Xia forcibly swept away the haze in her heart, and pretended to shrug her shoulders easily.

Ruan Zhan was about to speak, and the door of the bar opened, and the first guest of the night came.

"Ah Zhan, get me something to drink, I'm dying of thirst!" The person who came called out sweetly and gently, and his tone was very intimate, as if he was with a relative or a lover?!

Xiao Xia rolled her eyes and got up and went upstairs without looking back.

This woman's name is Bai Jingjing, and she is the same as the goblin in Journey to the West, and she is also charming. Recently, she has been pestering Ruan Zhan tightly, and Ruan Zhan seems to be a little different to her than others, and Xiao Xia hates her especially because of this.

But it wasn't this woman who got her up and left, she still had this resistance. She just couldn't stand Ruan Zhan's smile at Bai Jingjing, which made her feel that she was no longer special, so she simply couldn't see it.

This little vinegar didn't let her see it, although Ruan Zhan also showed his signature good-looking smile to Bai Jingjing, and seemed to like this woman with three points, but in the depths of his eyes, there was no temperature that would only be felt in Xiao Xia.

The memorial service was simple and solemn, and the procedures were carried out in accordance with the rules. However, there were not many people who came, except for his former friends, classmates, colleagues, and representatives of various local helping organizations, that is, a major sponsor of the sponsoring group, and no one who had been rescued by him attended.

Xiao Xia was sad and angry.

Sadly, although she has no special feelings for Guan Zheng, Guan Zheng is very good to her while being serious, and it is impossible for a colleague to have no feelings. What is indignant is why there are fewer and fewer people with a conscience in this world, and no one will remember him after he helped so many people during his lifetime!

"Death is just the beginning, the unsung hero will definitely be treated well over there, don't be unwilling." Wanli knew what Xiao Xia's moist eye frames were for, hugged her shoulders and whispered comfort, "People are doing it, the sky is watching!" ”

"You're outright idealistic." Xiao Xia relaxed, she had been nervous throughout the memorial service, and she always felt that Guan Zheng's portrait was condemning her. Now that it was finally over, she let out a sigh of relief.

"My faith is my experience." Wanli's hand didn't leave her shoulder, "Have you taken a leave of absence?" Isn't it a few days off? ”

"I was not approved, saying that I had to finish some things of the foundation before I was allowed to rest, and I was going to Boheng Company to do things tomorrow." Xiao Xia glanced at her new boss.

The new boss has the same surname as Mr. Pan of Changkong Office, and the name of the big list is 'mountain', and he is about the same age as Guan Zheng, but he looks a lot older, and he looks serious and rigid, and he is not easy to get along with.

When she looked at Pan Shan, she inadvertently met the patron who came to attend the memorial service, and quickly smiled politely and nodded, but she didn't expect that person to walk over to her as if she had been allowed.

She subconsciously moved a little closer to Wanli, a little unnatural, she has always been bad at dealing with rich people.

Wan Li felt her body language asking for help, dispelled Director Pan's desire to say hello, and stayed by Xiao Xia's side.

"Hello, I'm Huang Boheng from Boheng Group." He gracefully handed Xiao Xia a business card, and Xiao Xia hurriedly took it with both hands.

It turns out that he is the CEO of Boheng Group!

Xiao Xia thought while introducing herself, but she didn't expect the CEO of such a big consortium to be a person about the same age as Guan Zheng. Young, Sven, without the vulgarity of the nouveau riche, a bit of an intellectual literati. But Xiao Xia worked for him, and he knew from the employees that his career was quite legendary, and he should belong to the type of getting rich overnight.

"My name is Wan Li, and I'm her boyfriend." The self-introduction of Wanli sounded in my ears. Then she felt a tightness in her waist, and her body was pulled into his arms by Wan Lisheng, causing her to giggle cooperatively.

"Miss Yue-" Huang Boheng smiled very gracefully, "I heard Director Pan say that some of our company's legal business in City A few days ago was handled by Miss Yue, and I haven't had a chance to thank you yet." ”

"Well, I'm getting a salary, and it's you who give you the opportunity."

"But this memorial service is also very generous and decent, obviously Miss Yue is a very capable talent, don't be modest, one day I will poach the corner, come to me to do it." Huang Boheng looked at Xiao Xia as he spoke, making her feel a little uncomfortable.

She said a few words, but fortunately, Wan Li took over the conversation and continued to be polite with Huang Boheng, but his arm always wrapped around Xiao Xia's waist like declaring sovereignty.

"Miss Yue's face is not good." Before a few words, Huang Boheng brought the topic to Xiao Xia again.

"She's tired, it'll be fine if she goes home early and rests."

"Miss Yue is really blessed that her boyfriend is so considerate." Huang Boheng was still smiling, but Xiao Xia keenly felt that his eyes were a little unhappy, "Originally, I wanted to talk to you about the transfer of funds. In that case, then you can go directly to me tomorrow, and I won't say much today. ”

"Then Mr. Huang is goodbye." Wanli once again answered first, and then simply said goodbye to the person who had not left the scene, and went out with Xiao Xia in his arms.

"You make me feel like a squeamish bag like that!" Xiao Xia slapped the hand that was still on his waist.

"I'm telling the guy surnamed Huang that you have a master." Wan Li looked back, "Sometimes body language is more convincing. ”

"You're talking nonsense again!"

"You're really insensitive!" Wanli said, "Don't you see that? He's interested in you. It's really the prince of the king and grandson who has a bad conscience, and he even picks up girls at the funeral. ”

"It's a memorial service."

"It's not the same as what you do with these details. Are you going to his company tomorrow? After receiving Xiao Xia's affirmative reply, Wan Li said, "I'll accompany you tomorrow - no, I have a class tomorrow, otherwise I will ask Ah Zhan to accompany you." ”

"Do you need it?" Xiao Xia laughed at the fuss, "If he harasses me, I will sue him!" Don't worry, I'm such an adult, and I still have to deal with the situation. At most, I don't drink any of the drinks he gives me, and I always keep my distance from him, right? Besides, he wants to talk nonsense when he sees a woman, maybe it's just a habit, it's not that he likes me, it's that you're nervous. Although his person seems uncomfortable, he doesn't look extremely vicious, and he will be fine! ”

"It's better to ask Ah Zhan, if it really doesn't work, you can go by yourself." Somehow, with a man's instinct, Wan Li found out that Huang Boheng had a deep interest in Xiao Xia, which made him a little uneasy.

Xiao Xia looks very strong, and sometimes she has teeth and claws, but it's actually a little white rabbit, and it's the type that is easy to be taken away by unknown creatures. Although this kind of personality is more popular, it is not as safe as the kind of woman who pretends to be a white rabbit on the surface, but is actually a big bad wolf.

"You're overly nervous."

"If I care, it's messy." Wanli grabbed Xiao Xia and looked up and down, "I really don't know what's so good about you girl, you robbed me of it!" ”

The two fought all the way, making Xiao Xia temporarily forget the psychological pressure caused by Guan Zheng's death. But when he got home and asked, Ruan Zhan really said that he was not free the next day, so Xiao Xia had to decide to go by himself.

Xiao Xia didn't think she would be fine, but Ruan Zhan couldn't accompany her, which still disappointed her.

"How?" Huang Boheng sat in the study of his luxurious villa, giving orders to a man in front of him.

"She lives on the second floor of a bar called 'Night Home'."

"Living with a man?"

"The owner of the bar is a man, and she lives with him."

"The bar owner and the surname Wan, which one is her lover?"

"This-it's only been one night, I-"

"Check it again!" Huang Boheng reprimanded.

The man hurriedly retreated.

Huang Boheng snorted coldly, fell deeper into the sofa, and remembered Xiao Xia's appearance again.

"The woman I fancy will definitely get it, and everyone who gets in the way will die!" He was talking to himself with great ambition, but at the same time he was a little confused.

It's just the first time we met, why does he like that woman surnamed Yue so much? Although she was beautiful and lovely, she was not superior to his mistresses, so why did he insist on her. It seems that something is growing in my heart, and at the same time there is a cat's paw scratching desperately!
