Chapter 3 [Ye Qinghong] (II)
Ye Qinghong parked the car, and someone ran over with an umbrella and opened the car door to shield her from the wind and rain. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ye Qinghong stretched out her hand to take the umbrella, and wanted to greet Luo Lie, but saw that Luo Lie had already pushed the car door and walked down, and walked quickly to the gate of the villa.
Ye Qinghong followed and walked over, and she looked particularly capable after changing into a black suit.
The men were respectful in front of her, bowing their heads, not daring to look at her directly. Luo Lie didn't look at her either, taking this opportunity to admire the exquisite decoration of the villa.
Ye Qinghong walked a few steps quickly, her slender beautiful legs, her stride length was not inferior to that of a man, and her walking posture was also heroic, a little less graceful on the stage but a little more vigorous. Soon surpassed Luo Lie, and naturally acted as a guide, and said softly: "This house is almost twenty years old, and all the design and construction were completed by Italian craftsmen. ”
Luo Lie nodded, entered the palatial hall, and his eyes were first attracted by the huge crystal chandelier: "It should have cost a lot of money, right?"
Ye Qinghong smiled faintly: "Converted into silver dollars, about 200,000." ”
Luo Lie was astonished, it was the first time in his life that he was in such a magnificent building. Zhumen's wine and meat stinky road has frozen bones, and the gap between the rich and the poor in today's era has reached an unimaginable level.
Ye Qinghong made a brief introduction, this villa has a total of 32 large and small halls, although the passage in the building is circuitous, but up and down, the hall and the guest hall are decorated in Chinese style, and the painted murals in the interior are also from European masters, the door and window handles are all made of copper molds, and the empty cast plum blossom window railing, it can be said that every component and every detail here are close to perfect.
Luo Lie smiled: "Living in such a small building, you will wake up with a smile when you dream, right?"
Ye Qinghong shook her head: "There have been dead people and haunted here!"
Luo Lie chuckled inwardly, as if facing a tempting feast, but suddenly a fly fell on it.
Ye Qinghong pointed to the fuchsia leather sofa and invited him to sit down.
Luo Lie took off his windbreaker, and immediately a servant came over to pick it up, took his top hat again, and hung it on the coat rack for him.
"Coffee or tea?" Ye Qinghong asked.
Luo Lie said: "Tea, I'm not used to drinking coffee!"
The servant brought two cups of hot black tea and withdrew.
Luo Lie picked up the crystal teacup, tasted the red tea, and gently put the teacup back to its original place, not Chinese tea, but a foreign product that traveled across the ocean: "What advice does Miss Ye have for me?"
Ye Qinghong said: "Your knife skills are good!"
Luo Lie laughed: "I don't understand Miss Ye's words!"
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, I'm most afraid of pretending to be confused! The fabric used in my cheongsam is the blue brocade of the Gusu Brocade Workshop to pay tribute to the Empress Dowager Cixi of the Qing Dynasty, and there is a saying that one or two blue brocades are worth a thousand gold, not to mention that even if you can afford the price, you can't find the same fabric now. Ye Qinghong took out the cheongsam from the handbag, shook it slightly, and unfolded it in front of Luo Lie, a hole appeared in the beautifully embroidered cheongsam, and Ye Qinghong pointed there: "What should I do?"
Looking at the hole, Luo Lie remembered the scene of Ye Qinghong raising his legs and kicking back, although he had taken sufficient protective measures in advance, but the slender and straight jade legs were still showing in front of people, Luo Lie of course knew that Ye Qinghong's drunken intention was not to drink, no matter how precious this cheongsam was, it was not as important as his life, his shot at the critical moment at least stabbed Lu Weilin, delaying his movements, recalling what happened just now, Luo Lie couldn't help but think again, Lu Weilin obviously had a chance to regain control of Ye Qinghong, kill her or threaten her life again, but why did he choose to flee in a hurry?
Thinking about it carefully, the assassination that happened at the Blue Mill does have too many difficult explanations, Lu Weilin shot Ren Zhongchang three times, and the assassination occurred after a power outage, unless he has a blind man's night eyes, it is difficult to accurately lock the target in the dark, does Lu Weilin also have the ability to see in the dark? If not? How did he aim accurately in the dark?
Ye Qinghong put the cheongsam on the armrest of the sofa, took out a cigarette and lit it, she was addicted to smoking, and after a while, she had already smoked three cigarettes in front of Luo Lie.
Luo Lie couldn't help but recall the situation at the time, Ren Zhongchang was holding a cigar at the time, and when the power went out, the fire of the cigar became an obvious target, and it became a reference for Lu Weilin to aim and judge, Luo Lie clearly remembered that Lu Weilin only fired one shot at the box at that time, which shows that he was extremely confident in his marksmanship, and there was another reason, he was probably afraid of accidentally injuring other people, judging from the fact that he did not hesitate to shoot Ren Zhongchang's subordinates, he should not be afraid of these people, so it could only be that he was worried about hurting Mu Sanshou.
Judging from Mu Sanshou's performance after the shooting, he forced Ren Zhongchang's subordinates to lay down their weapons, and as a result, the four were all killed by Lu Weilin, and after that, Mu Sanshou still took a great risk to let his subordinates lose their guns, for the sake of his goddaughter's safety, it should be a very reasonable explanation, but with Mu Sanshou's calm and sophisticated temperament, his actions do not seem to be so consistent, Luo Lie clearly remembers Ye Qinghong's counterattack, and in that case, she also took a great risk, what prompted her to do this, and who gave her so much courage?
After the patrol arrived, the first to be ruled out of suspicion were Mu Sanshou and Ye Qinghong, the former's identity and status were there, and Ye Qinghong was just one of the victims tonight, but Luo Lie found that things were not so simple, if you look at tonight's assassination from a different angle. The person who brought the victim Ren Zhongchang to the scene was Mu Sanshou, and after Lu Weilin's successful assassination, he used Ye Qinghong to blackmail Ren Zhongchang's subordinates into laying down their weapons, if he hadn't made a move, would Ye Qinghong's Jedi counterattack end in failure? And would Lu Weilin have succeeded in kidnapping her and fleeing the scene?
"Answer me!" Ye Qinghong revealed an unprecedentedly sharp gaze.
Luo Lie reached out and picked up the cheongsam, and the index finger of his right hand pierced through the overlapping hole.
Ye Qinghong felt that his action should be full of ambiguous hints, and his pretty face became hot for no reason, and snatched the cheongsam back: "Compensate me!"
Luo Lie said: "Miss Ye invited me over, it should not be as simple as just to let me pay for a cheongsam. ”
Ye Qinghong was about to speak, when a person walked in from outside and whispered something in her ear, and after the person left, Ye Qinghong said softly: "I'll take you to a place." ”
Luo Lie smiled: "In the middle of the night, I don't have that much interest, why don't Miss Ye send me back." With that, he yawned.
Ye Qinghong said: "You will definitely be interested!"
Luo Lie didn't expect Ye Qinghong to take him to his own chapel this time, the church was brightly lit, Luo Lie clearly remembered very clearly, he locked the door before he left, this chapel only has the key except for himself, only the old priest who has been paralyzed in bed has the key, although the blind man is his best buddy and a frequent visitor to the chapel, but this guy doesn't have a key, and the blind man doesn't like the light, even if he sneaks in, it is impossible to turn on all the lights like now.
Luo Lie has begun to speculate in his heart, this matter should be related to Ye Qinghong, she just let herself get into the car at the Blue Mill, but left the blind man behind, the original intention may not be to talk to herself, but to separate the two of them, and then break them one by one, when leaving, he saw from the reflector that Mu Sanshou's men surrounded the blind man, it seems that the blind man has been controlled nine times out of ten, is it because he has affected this assassination incident?
After thinking about it, it shouldn't be right, although he shot and injured Lu Weilin, it didn't change the outcome of the whole thing, Ren Zhongchang, the overseer of northern Jiangxi, still died on the spot, and the murderer successfully escaped. Even if he noticed the suspiciousness in Mu Sanshou and Ye Qinghong's actions, but he didn't tell anyone about it, how could they suspect him? What's more, the blind man didn't make a move during the whole process, why did he target the two of them at the same time? After ruling out this possibility, Luo Lie immediately deduced that the reason why he and the blind man attracted Ye Qinghong's attention was that nine times out of ten it was related to the wallet stolen by the blind man.
The door of the church was locked, Ye Qinghong knocked politely on the door, and the people inside looked out through the crack in the door, and then opened the door. For the first time, Luo Lie had the feeling of being a guest in the chapel, as if he had suddenly become an outsider.
The small church where Luo Hunt served was very inconspicuous, even if it was full, it was only fifty people, because of its small scale, poor environment, the main building was in disrepair, and after the fall of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there was a wave of building churches in the French Concession, one larger than the other, one more ornate than the other, and the blonde and blue-eyed foreign priests also seemed more convincing than the native Chinese in terms of mission. After the old priest was paralyzed, most of the faithful were attracted to the other cathedrals in the French Concession, and even on such solemn days as Christmas Day and Easter Day, the chapel was rarely full. The young pastor Luo Lie was far less respected than the gray-haired old priest who walked tremblingly in the past, and he did not see him working preaching and preaching, but often fought with a group of pampered daughters and queens. If it weren't for the occasional sound of piano and singing during the service, the French Concession would have almost forgotten that there was such a small church nearby.
There were a dozen people sitting in the church, and a man hanging from the beams, who was now the center of attention.
As soon as Luo Lie walked into the door, he judged that the person who was hanging was blind, and now the blind man was tied up with five flowers, hanging upside down on the beam, his head was still more than a meter high from the ground, and his originally white and fat face had turned purple red because of long-term congestion. The little eyes were also bloodshot and bulging out, and people couldn't help but worry that his little eyes would pop out of their sockets at any moment.
