Chapter 399 [Great Elder] (I)
Chen Haodong hung up the phone, his face was blue, and the change in his face did not hide from the sparrow's eyes, the sparrow guessed that something big must have happened when he saw him, and said softly: "Is there any trouble?"
Chen Haodong shook his head, he got up and said, "I'm sorry, I'm in a bit of a hurry to leave in advance." “
Sparrow blinked, she didn't stay, out of politeness got up to send Chen Haodong, but at this time the phone rang again, this time the phone was for Sparrow, Sparrow picked up the phone and heard the low voice on the other end, so he said, "Uncle Zheng." “
The caller was Zheng Wanren, the great elder of the thief door, Zheng Wanren first exchanged a few words with the sparrow, and then cut to the chase: "Sparrow, how long have you not seen Fu Bo?"
Sparrow was stunned for a moment and said: "For a while, I wanted to visit him when I returned to China this time, but he avoided it, so I had to leave the gift and leave, I don't know when I offended his old man." Speaking of this, the sparrow was full of grievances.
Zheng Wanren said: "It seems that you haven't been in touch for a while, and Fu Bo has just accepted a closed disciple. “
Sparrow said: "Ah! I haven't heard of it, in the past, I begged him to let him take me as an apprentice, but he always said that he couldn't break the rules, but he refused to accept me, and now he actually accepts apprentices." “
Zheng Wanren said: "Speaking of which, you are also familiar with this closed disciple of his. “
Sparrow said: "Don't sell it, I really can't guess." “
Zheng Wanren said: "Luo Hunt!"
"How, how is it possible?" said the sparrow's voice with incredulity.
Zheng Wanren said: "Speaking of which, Luo Lie knows him or through you, right?"
Sparrow immediately understood something else from his words, and she said solemnly: "I don't know about this matter at all, how can it be that Fu Bo has taken the hunter as an apprentice?"
Zheng Wanren had already judged from her tone that she should not know about this, and her tone softened: "Sparrow, did Luo Hunt say that he was going to see Fu Bo before he went to Manchuria?"
Sparrow said, "How do I know? He couldn't have told me even if he wanted to." “
Zheng Wanren heard her displeasure and said softly: "Sparrow, why don't you contact Fu Bo and ask what the situation is?"
The sparrow heard his concern about the matter and mumbled.
Hanging up Zheng Wanren's phone, Sparrow couldn't help but fall into deep thought, the relationship between herself and Fu Bo has actually become a lot more rusty, although she knows how to contact Fu Bo, but if she takes the liberty to send a telegram to the past, she may not be able to get his response, as for going directly to meet him, Sparrow is worried that when he meets Luo Lie's family, it will inevitably make people doubt his motives, Sparrow hesitated again and again and finally decided to write a letter to Fu Bo, really picked up the pen, only to feel so difficult, Sparrow felt that everyone around her had changed, including herself.
Sparrow pondered in the study for almost an afternoon, but still couldn't finish the letter, until dusk, Cheng Yufei came to her again, and Sparrow's idea of writing this letter as soon as possible was completely ruined.
Cheng Yufei didn't come to find Sparrow to understand the case, including the case of Ye Qinghong's attack, there has been no progress so far, and Cheng Yufei's mood was also greatly affected, so she simply pushed all the jobs she found and gave herself a vacation.
When the sparrow heard that she was on vacation, she couldn't help but laugh.
Cheng Yufei said: "What are you laughing at? Schadenfreude isn't it?"
Sparrow said: "It's not schadenfreude, I just think it's a little strange that a workaholic like you would know about a holiday." “
Cheng Yufei said: "People are not machines, they will always feel tired, right?" She took a sip of coffee and said: "In the past, I thought that there was no unsolvable case in the world, and any crime would leave clues, but now I find that things are not as simple as I imagined, even if I know the answer, I may not be able to find a way to solve the problem in this life." “
Sparrow looked at Cheng Yufei and felt a trace of pessimism from her words, Sparrow said: "You can't say that, Yufei, in fact, you are already very good, in the detective world of Huangpu, who doesn't know your Cheng Yufei's name, and when the patrol room encounters an unsolvable puzzle, which time is not the first time to think of looking for you." “
Cheng Yufei said: "Sparrow, I don't hide it from you, I am disappointed in this era, to be precise, I have begun to be disappointed in this society." “
Sparrow blinked, is this still the optimistic and positive Cheng Yufei he knew in the past?
Cheng Yufei said: "In the past, I thought that the truth would prevail, but the reality is that fallacy prevails, I thought that justice must be redressed, but the result is that evil is prevalent, I think that the dignity of the law can be maintained through the right means, but those despicable villains use shady means to trample on the dignity of the law again and again, can you tell me why? Why has this society become like this?"
Sparrow shook her head, she was not a politician, she couldn't give an answer.
Cheng Yufei said: "Can people only survive in this society if they become snobbish?"
Sparrow still didn't speak, she thought of her father, who had devoted all his life to academics, but what did he get in the end?
Cheng Yufei complained, but sighed again and said, "You don't understand, you ...... now" She wanted to speak and stopped.
The sparrow was annoyed by the unfinished half of her sentence: "What's wrong with me now? I don't think I've changed anything? It's you who think I've changed, you're like this, Luo Lie is like this, all of you are like this!"
Cheng Yufei was stunned by the sparrow's sudden anger, and looked at the sparrow in a daze and said, "What are you angry about?
Sparrow said: "You have the problem, I know what you think of me in your heart." “
Cheng Yufei gave her a roll of the eyes: "I'm too lazy to pay attention to you, let's go!"
Sparrow grabbed her wrist and said, "Don't go, I finally caught you to chat with me, it's not so easy to leave." “
"Ho, are you relying on me?"
The two glanced at each other, laughed at the same time, and said, "You make it clear, what do you say is wrong with me now?"
Cheng Yufei said: "You are still energetic, I mean you had better not get too close to Chen Haodong's thieves now, after all, they are not very decent." Sparrow let go of her wrist and said, "Do you really think so?"
Cheng Yufei nodded and said, "I just don't want my good friend to be deceived." “
Sparrow said: "Tell you something unexpected. “
Cheng Yufei said: "Say, don't sell it here with me." “
Sparrow said: "There has just been a major incident in the thief door, and Fu Bo, who is respected by the elder of the thief gate, has accepted a disciple who has closed the door, and this disciple is called Luo Lie. “
Cheng Yufei was really unexpected, her eyes widened: "What? How is it possible?" A few days after Luo Lie left Huangpu, he actually worshipped a thief elder as a teacher, could it be said that Luo Lie's purpose in going to Manchuria this time was not to relax, but to have other ideas?
Sparrow said: "No one can guess what Luo Hunt thinks, I have long known that he will not let go of this matter." “
Cheng Yufei said: "Do you think he went to Manchuria just for this matter?
The sparrow didn't speak, she really thought so.
Cheng Yufei said: "Although I haven't known Luo Lie as long as you, I know him a little, Luo Lie is an upright person, he does things brightly, he is broad-minded, and he won't take ordinary things to heart, but no matter who attacked Ye Qinghong this time, he has already offended his bottom line." “
Sparrow said: "He once said that Chen Haodong has two choices left, either leave Huangpu or be buried in Huangpu." “
Cheng Yufei said: "At that time, it was normal for him to say some radical words. “
Sparrow shook his head and said, "Luo Lie rarely says radical things, and what he says is often fulfilled. “
Chen Haodong became extremely bad because of this sudden news, he thought that after Luo Lie left, he could not think about his affairs for the time being, but he didn't expect that Luo Lie left Huangpu not to choose to take the initiative to retreat, but to deal with himself, at least Chen Haodong looked at it this way, it was obviously unwise to use Luo Lie's personal strength to want to be the enemy of the entire thief, so he would go to Fu Bo and try to divide the thief from the inside, now Luo Lie is already a disciple of the elder of the thief, and cannibalism is a taboo for stealing the door.
Chen Haodong angrily walked into the Hongyun Trading House, Liang Qijun was waiting for him here, although Chen Haodong had learned the news of Luo Lie's apprenticeship on the phone, but he still wanted to confirm it in person, he pushed open the office door, and saw Liang Qijun standing in front of the desk, respectfully lighting a cigarette for a thin old man wearing a top hat and a long shirt.
Chen Haodong's whole person was stunned, and a nameless fire in his heart instantly burned, this old man was Zheng Wanren, the great elder of the thief door, Chen Haodong's anger was that Zheng Wanren came to Huangpu and he didn't know that Liang Qijun, the bastard, didn't even inform himself on the phone, what does this prove? It proves that Zheng Wanren is dissatisfied with himself, and it proves that his trust in himself is not even as good as that of a helmsman of the Huangpu rudder.
Liang Qijun saw Chen Haodong appear and smiled at him, but Chen Haodong didn't give him any good looks, Liang Qijun of course understood what Chen Haodong was annoyed about, he said to Zheng Wanren: "Elder, the young master is here, I'll go out first." “
Zheng Wanren nodded and said, "Okay." He took a drag on his cigarette, puffing out a thick cloud of smoke, and even though he was in the room, he still didn't take off his top hat. Chen Haodong said: "When did Uncle Zheng come?" He couldn't help but think of what the sparrow said before, and his heart was even more depressed, it seems that the sparrow also knew that he had come to Huangpu, it turned out that only he was kept in the dark, in fact, he misunderstood the sparrow, the sparrow just said it casually, and she didn't expect Zheng Wanren to come.
Zheng Wanren said: "You don't want me to come?"
Chen Haodong laughed: "Uncle Zheng, you misunderstood, I am happy from the bottom of my heart that you can come to Huangpu." “
Zheng Wanren said: "I have the right to tell you the truth, Haodong, if there is no important matter, I will not come, I am happy to be at ease, I can't let go of everything now, but ......" He paused, raised his head, and on his face as ravines as old bark, a pair of deep and cold eyes stared at Chen Haodong.
