Volume 1 Mountain God Chapter 3 The Human-Faced Cat (I)
After several days of busy work, No. 77 can be regarded as tidy up. Looking at the neat study, Chu Bing exhaled and sat on the rattan chair, his body not wanting to move at all. Chu Bing gently rubbed his temples with his hands, numb and painful. I feel that cleaning up the house is more tiring than dealing with the alien beasts. Paralyzed on the chair, Chu Bing's thoughts didn't know where to fly for a long time, and his body and brain were blank.
Ding Dong! Ding Dong! The doorbell rang, and Chu Bing stood up hesitantly, a little puzzled in his heart. As soon as the sign of this office was hung up, someone came to the door? How did the visitor find out about this place that could not be more remote? After thinking about it, he still came to the main hall and pressed the control switch of the courtyard gate. After a while, a woman bypassed the wall and walked down the path.
The visitor was wearing a white skirt and gloves of the same color. He carried a black handbag in his left hand, and wore a pair of light-colored half-height leather shoes on his feet, and flesh-colored stockings made his legs more slender. He is in his thirties, and he has no other accessories except for a pair of inconspicuous silver stud earrings. The person is quite beautiful and has a good temperament, but everyone can see the tiredness on his face.
Chu Bing was sure that he had never seen her, but in her, there was a hint of familiarity. Pushing open the door, Chu Bing greeted him. Before Chu Bing could speak, the woman asked first:
"Are you Chu Bing, Mr. Chu?"
"I'm Chu Bing, may I ask who you are?"
"My name is He Wenhui, and something happened to me at home recently. These things have caused me a lot of trouble, but I can't solve them. When the elders in the family found out, they introduced me to you, and he said that you should be able to help me. ”
"Who are your elders?"
"He Yuanzheng. ”
No wonder this He Wenhui can come to the door, it turns out to be the descendant of the old owner of the courtyard. Looking carefully, on He Wenhui's face, you can really find some characteristics of He Yuanzheng. Chu Bing nodded lightly, that's right, no wonder there was a familiar feeling just now.
"This is not the place to talk, Ms. Ho, please come in. Chu Bing opened the door and welcomed He Wenhui in. led He Wenhui to the east side of the main hall, where there were freshly installed sofas and coffee tables. Originally, in the main hall, only the central patio had a table of eight immortals and a few circle chairs.
The main hall is such a large space, with almost no furniture, and it seems too empty. So Chu Bing set up several sets of sofas and coffee tables in a few corners of the main hall, so that they were comfortable to sit and easy to entertain.
Picked up the thermos pot, brewed two cups of tea, and handed over a cup of tea. He Wenhui took the tea and said thank you. She turned her head to look around the hall and whispered:
"I used to come to this yard when I was a child, and my second grandfather always regarded this place as his heart's meat. I really didn't expect him to give this yard to you. ”
Chu Bing smiled, didn't agree with this, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and asked:
"Ms. He, I see that you are very tired, what is going on at home? ”
"Mr. Chu, you are a native of Lin'an County, you should know Ma Fulin, right?"
Ma Fulin: Is there such a person in Lin'an County? He Wenhui saw the expression on Chu Bing's face, and hurriedly spoke again:
"People in Lin'an County like to call him a big head. ”
"It turns out that Ma's real name is Ma Fulin. The richest man in Lin'an County, this must be known. After speaking, Chu Bing picked up the teacup again and took a sip of tea.
"Mafulin is my husband. ”
Chu Bing almost squirted out a mouthful of water. Thinking about the dignity and net worth of Ma's big head, and then thinking about He Wenhui's appearance and her family, the corners of Chu Bing's eyes jumped, these two are too incompatible!
"I know that Fulin doesn't have a good reputation in Lin'an, but he has always been very attentive to me and my children. In my heart, he was a very competent husband and father. For some reasons, my children and I basically live in the capital, and only Fulin himself works hard here. Unexpectedly, a few days ago, he was notified by the police that he had been killed. ”
Speaking of this, He Wenhui couldn't help crying. As soon as she cried twice and felt rude, she hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands, but the tears kept flowing.
"Mrs. Ma, please also mourn. Chu Bing took out a few tissues from the tissue bag on the table and handed them over. He Wenhui thanked him and took it. Chu Bing couldn't help but rub his temples. Looking at He Wenhui's reaction, the relationship between her and Ma Datou should be really good. But thinking about the appearance of the two, Chu Bing still felt from the bottom of his heart that the two of them didn't match, too incompatible!
When He Wenhui's mood stabilized a little, Chu Bing said:
"Mrs. Ma, if you want to entrust me with investigating the murderer, I don't think it's too necessary. The police have been investigating, and they must have more manpower, resources, and clues than I do. I believe that after a while, the case will progress. ”
He Wenhui shook her head vigorously, wiped the tears from her face, tried to calm down, and said:
"There's something strange about Forlin. I don't think the police will be able to find a result. ”
Hearing this, Chu Bing couldn't help but sit up straight. It seems that Ho Wenhui knows some clues that the police have not grasped.
"That was two days ago... He Wenhui thought back and said.
It's been a whole day, and He Wenhui still can't believe that her husband is dead. The old man at home finally allowed her to return to Lin'an, and He Wenhui, accompanied by Zhao Zhi, rushed back to Lin'an overnight. The villa has been cordoned off by the police, and she can't get in no matter how anxious she is. It was dawn that the police finally got their consent. Accompanied by two policemen, He Wenhui walked into his home.
After the police investigated and collected evidence, the body parts at the scene have been cleaned up. But the air was still filled with a suffocating smell. Thinking about the fact that her husband had only spoken to her a few days ago, and now that she is on a different path, He Wenhui felt a pang of colic in her heart.
"Xiaohui, Xiaohui!" He Wenhui's swaying body was supported by a pair of powerful big hands. He Wenhui looked up and saw that it was Uncle Zhao, who had watched her grow up since she was a child, and supported her.
After resting for a while with Zhao Zhi's support and feeling better, He Wenhui opened his mouth and said:
"Uncle Zhao, I'm fine, you go get busy. ”
Seeing that He Wenhui was better, Zhao Zhi nodded and went to the study on the first floor. The villa has some proof of assets and information, and he came here mainly to help He Wenhui collect and classify the information so that he can take it away. After all, Ma Fulin died here, and He Wenhui is afraid that he will never come here again in the future.
He Wenhui slowly went up to the second floor and walked towards the master bedroom. Although she didn't spend much time here, as long as she came to Lin'an, she lived in this villa. Speaking of which, this is her own real home. The deep mansion compound in the capital is just a cage. The bedroom was in front, and He Wenhui thought to herself, all the private clothes and bits in the bedroom should be taken away. In the future, will not be back here.
When I came to the master bedroom, the door was hidden. He Wenhui held the doorknob and pushed it gently, but did not push it open, as if something was blocking the door. Holding the doorknob with both hands, he pushed it open, only to find a large black cat curled up on the ground with its back on its back, and it was it blocking the bedroom door.
He Wenhui was a little puzzled, how could there be such a big black cat at home? Ma Fulin didn't tell him that he had a cat?
The black cat moved its ears, raised its head, and stretched its curled body hard. Then, slam back!
