Chapter 388 [Qingyu Qianzhuang] (I)
Ren Tianjun said: "I just want him to be healthy and safe, if I can, I am willing to exchange everything I have." “
When Ye Qinghong heard this, he finally understood why Luo Lie changed his mind to stay in Huangpu, Ren Tianjun had concerns, even though Ren Tianjun couldn't let go of his hatred now, hatred was no longer the only one for him.
The circus of the International Circus was very exciting, the two children watched attentively, the little rainbow cheered from time to time, although Ren Yuqing did not cheer, but a rare smile appeared on his little face. Ren Tianjun said: "You're right, we don't understand the world of children. “
Luo Lie said: "Everyone comes from that world, maybe it has been too long, we have forgotten the innocence of the past, and we have forgotten the original intention." “
At this time, the applause was thunderous, but it was the most exciting flying knife link, and a blonde beauty in a leotard appeared on the stage, and she was the human target of the performance.
The performance of the two on the stage was very exciting, and the interaction was witty and funny, attracting bursts of cheers and screams, Luo Lie couldn't help but think of his time in North America, in those most difficult days, he used to mix in the circus, and his one-handed knife stunt was learned at that time.
When it came to interacting with the audience, the actor sent an invitation to the audience, but the audience did not dare to come forward to try, and the actor who threw the flying knife spread his hands, looking quite helpless. Little Rainbow actually raised her hand, and the actor said excitedly: "Look at that little friend, brave little friend." Oh, ask her father to come to the stage. "Of course, such a young child would not be invited on stage to participate in such an exciting show.
The first word that Luo Lie thought of was a pit father, such a young daughter actually understood the pit father without a teacher.
The two children looked at him blankly, and Ye Qinghong couldn't help but smile, she knew Luo Lie's past experience in the circus.
Ren Tianjun said: "It seems that the children are looking forward to your play." “
Luo Lie nodded and said, "I'm coming!" He took off his outer suit and handed it to Ye Qinghong, and walked onto the stage amid everyone's applause.
The flying knife performer said a few words to Luo Lie, and then handed him an apple, Luo Lie was also very cooperative, picked up the apple and made it look like he wanted to eat, the performer hurriedly grabbed it and put the apple on top of his head, which caused laughter on the scene.
Luo Lie put the apple on top of his head and stood in the designated position, the performer pretended to throw it, bluffed a few times, and then walked in front of Luo Lie and inserted the flying knife into the apple, the scene laughed constantly, Luo Lie is very familiar with this kind of performance routine.
The performer gave him a thumbs up, but Luo Lie smiled and put the apple on top of his head, signaling the two of them to switch places, and the audience applauded thunderously.
The flying knife performer obviously didn't expect this kind of routine, he waved his hand exaggeratedly, but Luo Lie pulled the flying knife from the apple and retreated to the position he had just now, Luo Lie made a move to aim and throw, just bluffing, and the flying knife performer thought that he was just for the effect of the show, and also cooperated to make an exaggerated performance.
Luo Lie retreated a long distance backwards, and was about to throw more than three times the distance of the performer just now, when he suddenly made a move, and with a dash, the flying knife flashed a cold light, and flew out amid the exclamations of everyone, accurately hitting the apple above the flying knife performer's head, and cutting the apple in half.
The scene was silent, the flying knife performer's face turned white with fright, and the whole person stood there for a while, and it took a while to come back to his senses. The applause at the scene was thunderous, Xiao Rainbow stood up and clapped excitedly, the excitement of this knife even infected Ren Yuqing, and he also stood up and applauded desperately.
Luo Lie smiled and walked up to the performer and patted him on the shoulder, then turned around and returned to the box. Luo Lie doesn't like to be in the limelight, but as a father, he has to behave in front of his daughter, and he wants to be the pride and support of his daughter.
Ren Tianjun's heart twitched, he couldn't help but think of the shocking knife when he was in the old camp of Wuyuan, was Luo Lie's knife just now a warning to himself?
After the circus ended, the two families parted in front of the door, and Little Rainbow said, "Uncle, will you bring your little brother to our house in a few days?"
Ren Tianjun looked at his son and found that his son was also looking at him expectantly, he laughed: "Okay, so be it, I'll call in advance before I go." “
Luo Lie and Ye Qinghong got into the car, children can't stay up late after all, Little Rainbow fell asleep in Ye Qinghong's arms soon after getting into the car, Ye Qinghong looked at the child's peaceful and quiet little face, picked up the blanket on the car and covered her, and whispered: "My daughter is very happy." “
Luo Lie said: "Usually there are no children to play with her, of course I am happy to see Xiao Yuqing." “
Ye Qinghong said: "Ren Tianjun has changed a lot, do you think he really let go of his hatred or is he more scheming?"
Luo Lie said: "It's not so easy to let go of hatred, but he may have seen through life. “
Ye Qinghong didn't understand the true meaning of his words: "What?"
Luo Lie didn't mention Feng Jiuqing's matter, if she let Ye Qinghong know, it would only increase the pressure in her heart, and said softly: "It's better to settle the dispute, if Ren Tianjun can let it go, what reason do we have not to let it go?"
When Luo Lie inspected the Yupu wharf construction site, Li Yandong came to visit him, Luo Lie and Li Yandong had not dealt with him a few times, and his understanding of him was limited to Cheng Yufei's assistant, Li Yandong looked a little flustered, and when he saw Luo Lie, he asked in the first sentence: "Mr. Luo, have you seen Miss Cheng?"
Luo Lie said: "She didn't come, I haven't seen her for a few days." “
Li Yandong said: "Miss Cheng went out early yesterday morning, and there has been no news until now, and I am in a hurry." “
Luo Lie said: "Did she go out to investigate the case?"
Li Yandong said: "In the past, the investigation would explain the whereabouts, but this time there was no place left." “
Luo Lie also felt a little bad when he heard it, and he said in a low voice: "Mr. Li, do you know what case she has been investigating recently?"
Li Yandong said: "Didn't she help you investigate the case a while ago? She didn't tell me specifically, it may be related to a gold bar transaction." “
Luo Lie's heart sank, and he couldn't help but think of the batch of gold bars that the Sea Dragon Gang had swallowed by the black, could it be that Cheng Yufei still refused to stop and decided to investigate to the end?
Luo Lie said: "Do you know where he might go?"
Li Yandong sighed and said, "I've searched all the places I should be looking for, but no one knows where she is." “
Luo Lie said: "Did you go to the patrol room?"
Li Yandong said: "Inspector Liu doesn't want to see me. “
Luo Lie asked Li Yandong to wait, he went back to the office and made a phone call to the patrol room of the French Concession, Inspector Liu owed him a favor, and Luo Lie thought that it was impossible for him to refuse to answer his call. Sure enough, Inspector Liu answered the phone, and Luo Lie didn't go around the bend with him, and told Cheng Yufei about his disappearance straight to the point.
Inspector Liu was also stunned when he heard this, he thought for a while and said: "I don't think anything will happen, I know Miss Cheng very well, she is not weak, and she has outstanding wisdom, she is calm, and rarely takes risks to solve cases." Maybe she just went to investigate the case and didn't want to be disturbed by other people. “
Luo Lie said: "I heard that Inspector Liu recently arrested the suspect who killed Xu Cheng. “
Inspector Liu hesitated and said: "There is a matter of this, but this case involves the previous arms smuggling, the case occurred in the public concession, and it stands to reason that it should belong to the patrol room of the public concession to handle the case, and they asked us to cooperate in handling the case, and several suspects were handed over to them the day before yesterday." “
Luo Lie knew that Inspector Liu would definitely choose Mingzhe to protect himself, which was why he advised Cheng Yufei not to follow up, this case is too extensive and the pressure is too great, and Cheng Yufei will definitely face pressure from all sides, even danger, and now Cheng Yufei's disappearance is likely to be related to this case.
Luo Lie said: "It is indeed inconclusive whether Miss Cheng is in trouble or not, but as her friend, we still have to pay attention to this matter." “
Inspector Liu said: "Okay, I will send someone to investigate immediately, but my scope of authority is in the French Concession, and the search can only be limited to this area." “
Luo Lie said: "Thank you Inspector Liu." Putting down the phone and coming outside, seeing that Li Yandong was still waiting there, Luo Lie said, "Let's go, I'll go to the office with you to have a look." Li Yandong was stunned and said, "What are you going to do there?"
Luo Lie didn't answer, he went to Cheng Yufei's office to check it out and see if he could find clues from there, although Li Yandong was Cheng Yufei's assistant, his ability to handle cases and solve cases was far inferior to Cheng Yufei.
Luo Lie is not a professional detective, but his observation, analysis and judgment are superhuman, and these three points are the necessary qualities of a good detective.
After getting Li Yandong's permission, Luo Lie inspected Cheng Yufei's office, and finally found a paper ball in the wastepaper basket next to Cheng Yufei's desk, with a line of words on the paper ball, which is a code mixed with English and Arabic numerals, and Luo Lie handed the paper to Li Yandong.
Li Yandong was confused, and said in amazement: "What is this code?"
Luo Lie said: "If I'm not mistaken, it should be the code of the gold bar, didn't you say that I heard Miss Cheng mention the gold bar?"
Li Yandong nodded again and again, and Luo Lie said, "Did she say that she was going to the bank or something?"
Li Yandong tried to recall, and said after a while: "I have been, the day before yesterday, she said that she was going to the bank to do something." “
"Do you know which bank she went to?"
Li Yandong shook his head and said, "I don't know, she didn't tell me." “
"How long has she been going, what time will she leave and what time will she return?"
Li Yandong said: "It's about an hour to ......" Speaking of this, he suddenly woke up to something, looked at Luo Lie and said: "This bank must not be too far away, she went on foot, and there are only two possibilities if you remove the time for handling business in the bank." "There are only two banks nearby, that's why Li Yandong said so.
Luo Lie said: "Very good, let's go check now." “
The two went to Jiaye Bank first, because they opened a detective agency on the same street, so Li Yandong was very familiar with the nearby bank, and asked Cheng Yufei if he had been here, according to the bank clerk, Cheng Yufei had come the afternoon before yesterday and asked about one thing.
Luo Lie put the numbered note in front of the bank clerk: "Did she show this paper when she came here?"
