Chapter 287: Next Stop: Hilltop Manor
Winter in the Imperial City is a season full of charm and charm, and the city after the snow seems to be transformed into a light and elegant ink painting, silent and beautiful.
The combination of history and modernity is like a conversation in time and space, telling the story of a thousand years.
Chen Yi and Fang Shuyu linger outside the palace walls, the red wall in winter is more solemn and mysterious, and the whole building is picturesque.
The two came to the imperial city for the second day, visited the alleys and ate food, and also checked in a few scenic spots, because it is not a holiday, the tourist areas are very relaxed, and there is no trouble of queuing.
Since joining the company, Chen Yi has not been so relaxed for a long time, he doesn't have to face a mountain of documents, he doesn't have to react to the ringing of the alarm bell, and he doesn't have to be busy with complicated cases, everything is harmonious.
This is the world of bystanders outside the criminal police, peace under the light, everyone laughs and laughs, and every family lives and works in peace and contentment.
There will always be a dark side, and only a few people can face it.
In the afternoon, Chen Yi and Fang Shuyu went to visit Fang Yanjun with gifts, and when their grandchildren came to the door, Fang Yanjun seemed very happy, and almost ordered the kitchen to cook.
Seeing this, the two could only euphemistically say that they would go to eat shabu mutton at night, and eating shabu mutton in winter was a perfect match.
Fang Yanjun didn't insist, he finally came out for a trip, Xiao Young naturally wanted to have more than the world of two people, and experience more of the imperial city scenery in a limited time.
"Don't be in a hurry to go back after a few more days, I still say the same thing, Yangcheng will turn around without the two of you, don't put too much pressure on yourself, rest when it's time to rest."
In the living room, Fang Yanjun smiled and spoke.
The two said yes, and after chatting with Fang Yanjun for more than an hour, they said goodbye and left.
At night, the imperial city is extremely bright, and the ancient city is lit up in an instant, and the sky is magnificent and magnificent.
The bustling streets, the shops are brightly lit, and although the temperature is very low, the crowds are bustling, and the snacks on the roadside exude an enticing aroma, which makes people can't help but stop and taste.
After eating the mutton shabu, Chen Yi and Fang Shuyu strolled along the lakeside in the city, where the sparkling water and buildings complemented each other, and the sound of music from nearby bars added romance and style to the night of the imperial city.
Feeling the pulse of the city and immersing themselves in endless stories, Chen Yi and Fang Shuyu were very satisfied with this trip, when the wind rose at night, the temperature dropped again, and the cold began to permeate the whole body, but at ten o'clock the two chose to return to the hotel.
"Tomorrow we're going north? Time is a bit tight, I can't stay in the Imperial City for long. On the bed, Fang Shuyu, who was nestled in Chen Yi's arms, spoke.
Chen Yi had no opinion: "Okay, where do you want to go?" I asked you to do a strategy before, but there was no result for several days. ”
Hearing this, Fang Shuyu was a little embarrassed: "I didn't have a choice difficulty before, but now I suddenly have it, maybe the opportunity is too rare, I want to use my time on the blade." ”
"I've been in the city for the past two days, and I want to go to a beautiful place tomorrow, or let's draw lots? Just choose a few hot ones, don't go too far, it's best to go back and forth by high-speed rail. ”
Chen Yi: "Okay. ”
Fang Shuyu took out his mobile phone to search, and at this time, Chen Yi's mobile phone rang, and he turned his head to take a look, it was Jiang Fanlei calling.
"What's wrong with this kid in the last two days?"
Chen Yi complained and answered the phone.
"Hello?"
Jiang Fanlei's laughter came: "Chen Yi, is it in the imperial city?" ”
Chen Yi: "Yes, didn't I tell you to travel a few days ago, what are your instructions this time?" Big Boss Jiang. ”
Jiang Fanlei: "Hehe, I'm also in the Imperial City, take you to a fun place for a walk, can you come?" ”
Chen Yi wondered: "What are you doing in the Imperial City?" Traveling with Zou Ying? Learn from me, right? ”
Jiang Fanlei: "What do you say, who learns from you, Zou Ying didn't come, I came by myself, my friend introduced that there was an exchange meeting here, which made me know a lot of car rental company owners, for the sake of business do not understand." ”
Chen Yi sighed: "Then you can play by yourself, don't bother me, Shuyu and I will go north tomorrow to find a better place." ”
Jiang Fanlei: "The place I want to take you to is the north, the scenery is very good, not only the scenery is very good, but you can also lie on the bed and see the mountains, and the most important thing is ...... With a mysterious legend, to be honest with you, ordinary people don't have this opportunity, you have to have an identity. ”
Chen Yi was curious: "What place?" ”
Jiang Fanlei: "Four hundred kilometers north of the imperial city, Wan County." ”
Chen Yi: "Running 400 kilometers so hard just to go to a county seat?" ”
Jiang Fanlei: "I haven't finished speaking, fifty kilometers north of Wan County, there is a mountain called Eshan, Eshan was originally a rugged and barren mountain, it was contracted a few decades ago, and then saplings were widely planted, and a manor was built on the top of the mountain. ”
"I heard that the owner of the manor is a rich man, and he built the manor very luxuriously, making full use of the disadvantages of the terrain, and turning the disadvantages into advantages."
"There are a lot of exhibits in it, what exactly is not clear for the time being, anyway, it's quite mysterious, I definitely don't regret going, it meets your requirements very well, I can see the scenery, I can see the snow, and I can satisfy my curiosity, are you not interested?"
After listening to Jiang Fanlei's words, Chen Yi was a little moved, the country is really a strange thing, build a manor on the top of the mountain? The master is quite willful, but I don't know who it is.
The person who can build a manor in the mountains is naturally not an ordinary character, since it is not far from the imperial city, it is estimated that he is famous in the imperial city.
"You'll wait."
Chen Yi said a word, and then turned his head and explained to Fang Shuyu.
After listening to the description, Fang Shuyu also became curious and said that he could go and take a look.
It's a different taste to be able to live in the mountains and look at the city from afar, but I haven't tried it yet.
After getting the agreement, Chen Yi said into the phone: "When?" ”
Seeing that the other party was going to agree, Jiang Fanlei was delighted: "How about leaving at noon tomorrow?" You might even be able to go to the top of the mountain for dinner. ”
Chen Yiduo asked, "How did you know about this place?" ”
Jiang Fanlei: "My friend invited me to go, I thought that since you are in the Imperial City, I naturally have to call you, is it enough brother?" ”
Chen Yi: "The friend you are talking about, is that friend the other day?" ”
Jiang Fanlei: "Uh......"
Chen Yi sneered: "I said, it's me again, who is it who you have to know me, what is the purpose?" ”
Jiang Fanlei was helpless: "It's called Zhong Muping, I run a car rental company, I can't admire you, you said that he helped me so much, I have to do something." ”
Chen Yi: "The manor is his?" ”
Jiang Fanlei: "No, he was also invited." ”
Chen Yi quieted down.
After a few seconds, he spoke, "Is this friend of yours around?" ”
Jiang Fanlei: "No, I'm in the hotel by myself, what's wrong?" ”
Chen Yi: "When did he introduce you to the exchange meeting?" ”
Jiang Fanlei: "It was after calling you a few days ago. ”
Chen Yi: "You told him that I came to the Imperial City?" ”
Jiang Fanlei: "Yes. ”
Chen Yi: "It was after you told him that I came to the Imperial City, and he immediately took the initiative to mention the exchange meeting, but he didn't mention it before, right?" ”
Jiang Fanlei: "That's right...... How do you know? ”
Chen Yi: "Okay, that's it, see you tomorrow, I'll go." ”
Jiang Fanlei: "Okay! ”
He was not a fool, he could guess that Zhong Muping was probably helping him for Chen Yi, and there was no harm in making friends, so he didn't think much about it.
Chen Yi is the captain of the detachment at such a young age, and it is normal for him to want to tie his knots, and he may have something to ask for.
After hanging up the phone, Chen Yi fell into thought.
From a few details, it can be seen that the person named Zhong Muping invited Jiang Fanlei to the Imperial City for himself, but the purpose is unknown.
If you really make friends, it won't be so troublesome, how can you go out to travel and catch up with the pole, as the owner of the car rental company, eight-sided exquisite, this bit of etiquette is still there.
It's a pity that Jiang Fanlei was not present when he was talking to Zhong Muping at that time, so he couldn't analyze Zhong Muping's demeanor and tone reaction.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing that Chen Yi was thinking about something, Fang Shuyu asked.
Chen Yi cleared his throat and said, "The person who invited us was not Jiang Fanlei, but a person named Zhong Muping. ”
Fang Shuyu was surprised: "Huh? What's the situation? ”
Chen Yi shook his head: "I don't know, there must be something wrong with me, either because of the Chen Group or because of my identity as a criminal policeman." ”
Fang Shuyu: "You don't know? ”
Chen Yi: "I've never heard of it, according to Jiang Fanlei, it's making friends." ”
Fang Shuyu felt that something was wrong: "Then don't go, what if I have a grudge against you?" ”
Chen Yi: "It shouldn't be that there is a grudge, he wanted to see me when I was in Yangcheng, and now he has chased him to the Imperial City, huh...... I'll think about it later. ”
He fell silent.
Fang Shuyu didn't bother and waited quietly.
After a long time, Chen Yi spoke: "Jiang Fanlei said that the mountaintop manor is not something that ordinary people can go to, this Zhong Muping has already helped Jiang Fanlei, and he will invite him to the private house where he shows his identity...... By the way, I was invited, just to make friends? ”
"Also, when he was in Yangcheng, he wanted to see me, he could be anywhere, but after chasing him to the Imperial City, he directly chose such a special place, then we can reasonably suspect that there is a certain problem in this place."
"Perhaps, Zhong Muping's ultimate goal is the hilltop manor."
Fang Shuyu felt that Chen Yi was analyzing the case, obviously nothing happened, was it an occupational disease?
"I don't understand, what's wrong with the manor? Is it dead? Forensic doctors, she said, are sensitive to the dead.
Chen Yi smiled: "I'm not a fairy, how do I know, just guess, I just think this person's style is a little strange, maybe I think too much, the heart of a villain is the belly of a gentleman." ”
"Now I'm more curious, not only curious about Zhong Muping, but also curious about that manor, go and see it tomorrow?"
Fang Shuyu nodded: "Okay, I also want to know what's going on when you say this, but I don't know the bottom of my heart." ”
The unknown represents mystery, but also risk, and there is a good truth to the saying that curiosity kills people.
Chen Yi: "Don't worry, I'm here." ”
Fang Shuyu: "Hmm. ”
Her courage comes from Chen Yi, otherwise she would definitely not dare to go to a strange place, especially so remote.
