Many employees of European and American consortiums rent apartments here, and there are also Belarusian nobles who have been exiled in Shanghai. Of course, they are rich. The poor Belarusians are either working as concierges or standing on the street.
The apartment that Lu Ming bought had two bedrooms, a living room, bathroom, and kitchen. All the furniture and appliances in it came with it. This was equivalent to the wedding room that his family bought for him in Shanghai. However, Lu Ming
Didn't think so.
"Why are you walking around? Go to bed and lie down. You are either sick or tired. You need to take a good rest." Yan Xiaohui said.
Lu Ming wondered to himself, how could this happen? What does overthinking mean? Do you think that your brain is starved of oxygen when you think about things? Besides, you don't think about anything.
Could it be the sequelae of fear?
He was indeed afraid at that time, afraid that something bad might happen to Yuan Ziyuan.
But this is not right. Speaking of fear, it has reached its peak when I was trapped in the hospital, and I didn’t feel like my brain was running out of energy.
He couldn't defeat Yan Xiaohui. No matter what, he was a doctor. Now that he was a patient, he had to listen to the doctor. This was the law of nature.
He had no choice but to lie on the bed and think about something quietly.
Yan Xiaohui moved a chair, sat in front of the bed and looked at him quietly.
"Why do you look at me like that? I'm not a child." Lu Ming blushed.
"Don't think blindly, this is the doctor's monitoring and care for the patient." Yan Xiaohui also said a little shyly.
"Guardianship? Haha. By the way, when is the welcome banquet?" Lu Ming quickly changed the subject.
"The day after tomorrow, what's wrong? You are quite concerned about this matter. Are you hiding something from me?" Yan Xiaohui said with a smile.
"I'm not concerned about that old guy Honjo Shigeru, I just want to find that bastard who trapped us that day and almost drove us to a dead end." Lu Ming held his head and seemed to be buzzing again.
"You, if you think less, eat more, and sleep more, you won't have this problem." Yan Xiaohui laughed at him.
"I'm not thinking nonsense, I'm thinking seriously." Lu Ming glanced at Yan Xiaohui.
"I know you are thinking seriously, but there must be a limit to serious thinking. Human brain power is not infinite. Let me tell you, some great men did not die of illness or the end of their life span, but because their brain power was over-developed and finally they died of brain power exhaustion.
Death, do you understand?" Yan Xiaohui smiled.
"You mean I can also become a great man?" Lu Ming rolled his eyes and said.
"Of course you can. In my eyes, you are a great man now."
"It's not like a shriveled person, right? I think that's enough for me." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"You're still weak." Yan Xiaohui turned away and smiled.
Lu Ming hurriedly turned sideways, and his area really reacted, as if he was protesting his words.
Yan Xiaohui was shy and funny at the same time, covering his eyes and not daring to look.
"Don't be offended. You really don't blame me. I don't know what's going on."
"It's normal, it's normal. That's to compliment me on my beauty and cuteness..." Yan Xiaohui said with a smile.
"Let me ask you a medical question. Do women also react?" Lu Ming asked seriously. He was really curious.
"Of course, stop talking, stop talking." Yan Xiaohui quickly stood up and ran to the bathroom.
Lu Ming's face was full of confusion. He didn't know what he said wrong. He regarded Yan Xiaohui as a doctor and sincerely asked for advice.
After a long time, Yan Xiaohui came out of the bathroom and returned to normal. Everything in Lu Ming's place was also normal.
At this time, Yan Xiaohui regained her rationality and calmness, just like when she faced patients in the hospital, but Lu Ming was still confused. She didn't know what happened just now, but she didn't dare to talk nonsense.
Yan Xiaohui stayed for a while, and seeing that Lu Ming had indeed recovered, she hurried away. Lu Ming always felt like she was running away.
At noon, Lu Ming went out for lunch, still at the nearby Badawan.
It's not that he particularly likes the dishes here, but it's the most convenient place and the people are familiar.
He was eating a plate of meat slices and fried bamboo shoots when a person suddenly sat down opposite him, it was An Gonggen.
Lu Ming didn't say anything, but picked up the jug and poured him a bowl of wine.
An Gonggen picked up the bowl of wine and took a sip. He didn't say anything, but observed the movements around him for a long time, and then whispered: "I've prepared everything there, are you okay here?"
"Don't worry, let's have a drink." Lu Ming continued to eat.
"Is the time set?"
"The day after tomorrow."
"Well, my people will wait for you outside Badawan that morning."
"You bring them here. I don't know them. The number cannot exceed two." Lu Ming said.
Lu Ming planned this. He estimated that Yan Xiaohui could get him two more invitations at most, which would be enough. If there was only one more invitation, he would simply not go. After all, he found that day at the welcome banquet.
The mastermind's hope was too slim, so he might as well fulfill An Gonggen's case.
"Thank you very much." An Gonggen raised his neck and drank the old wine in the bowl.
"The wine is good and the food is good. You should drink more and eat more. You need a good body to do revolution." Lu Ming said.
It can be seen that An Gonggen's thin and lean body is caused by his long-term ascetic life, just like someone who has been walking in the desert for several months.
An Gonggen just smiled and did not follow his advice. He did not move his chopsticks and got up and left after drinking.
"Don't you have to wait until later in life to take action? Can't you eat a piece of meat today?" Lu Ming said with a bitter smile.
To be honest, he admired such people very much, admired their spirit of asceticism, admired their firm belief and not afraid of life and death. But what he didn't expect was that in just a few years, he would become such a person, and he would be similar to these people.
Compared to it, it is even worse than it is.
After eating, he went to Cai Lian's place to find Zhang Ziyang and continued to discuss the case with him.
Now not only Sheng Muyi's disappearance case, Xia Heng's and He Jin's poisoning cases have also been merged.
Needless to say, Xia Heng, let alone any physical evidence, even the body was stolen and disappeared completely. Zhang Ziyang took photos of He Jin's belongings and still carried them with him.
The two people studied these photos all afternoon, but still couldn't find a way to solve the case.
"Your idea makes sense. The murderer may have used these two people to disrupt our vision. They are just tools and have no research value." In the end, Lu Ming had to come to this conclusion.
They carefully inspected Horgan's body and found no tattoos or any other signs.
"They used a lot of means to kill these two people, and we also spent a lot of effort to investigate, but nothing was found. It's really strange." Zhang Ziyang looked confused.
"Maybe we have already found it, but we just didn't realize it and ignored it." Lu Ming still didn't want to let this matter go.
"But after checking all the evidence, there is nothing suspicious about them."
Lu Ming thought about it a lot, and if there is still any doubt and lack of proof, it is the matter of Ziyuan.
He did not tell Zhang Ziyang about this matter. Firstly, it was still unclear whether Ziyuan was missing. Secondly, there were too many people related to Ziyuan. Once he said it, it would definitely cause a stir and disrupt his vision.
Too much talk will lead to failure, but silence is golden.
Being a detective requires not only sufficient self-cultivation, but also courage.
Lu Ming knew that if something really happened to Ziyuan and he kept hiding the truth that she had been hiding in his apartment, it would inevitably lead to misunderstanding from the Yuan family afterwards, but this was something he had to bear.
Lu Ming felt a little bored staying in the house, so he went out for a walk in the yard.
Cai Lian walked over and whispered: "Thank you very much."
Lu Ming shook his head. He knew that this referred to the five thousand yuan in banknotes that he quietly left two days ago. He originally wanted to leave ten thousand yuan, but he was afraid that Cai Lian would not accept it, so he left a little less.
"Actually, I shouldn't take your money, but I really have no choice." Cai Lian said with a bitter smile.
"Sister Cailian, you are wrong to think so. My money is very clean, just like my people." Lu Ming said with a smile.
"I know……"
"As long as you know, it's okay. There are some things that you don't need to say, and you won't say them in the future, especially to Zi Yang." Lu Ming explained in a low voice.
"What are you two secretly whispering about?" Zhang Ziyang came out at this time and asked with a smile when he saw the two people talking in a low voice.
"Can't we, uncle and sister-in-law, say something personal? You have to come and listen in the corner," Cai Lian said.
"Only you two know where there is a scar on my body. You can say whatever you want to me." Zhang Ziyang said with a smile.
"You bastard, you have no dignity, your dog's mouth just can't spit out ivory." Lu Ming scolded with a smile.
"What I said is correct. I didn't know Ming Zhu knew where I had a scar on my body, right?" Zhang Ziyang continued in a nondescript manner.
Cai Lian bluffed, "If you keep talking nonsense, Mingzhu will give you a scar on your forehead!"
All three people laughed.
Some words cannot be said casually. Who would have thought that one word would become a prophecy.
"You are saying bad things about me behind my back again, but I heard it." At this time, Mingzhu happened to come in from the outside and heard the last sentence.
"What do you mean? We have never said anything bad about you, we have always praised you." Lu Ming hurriedly apologized with a smile.
"Praise me? How can you be so good? Then praise me in front of me. I like to hear people praise me the most." Yuan Mingzhu said she didn't believe it, but she had a smile on her face.
"No, I can't boast in front of you." Lu Ming shrugged.
Several people entered the room to have a conversation, and Yuan Mingzhu pulled Lu Ming aside.
"That bastard Sheng Di called me in the afternoon and asked me repeatedly if I had any news about my sister. He also asked me if there was anything wrong before my sister left. It made me a little scared. Do you think anything will happen to Ziyuan?
?”
Lu Ming's face looked a little ugly, and he forced a smile and said: "No, don't worry, Ziyuan is not as smart as you."
"Then you are calling me stupid in a subtle way." Yuan Mingzhu stared.
"No, I'm just praising you for your straightforward personality and your straightforwardness in everything."
"Humph, then you are just going around the corner and scolding me for not being like a lady." Yuan Mingzhu continued to attack.
"What's so good about being a lady? Just like your sister Xin'er, she pretends to be like an iceberg all day long. Are you tired?"
"You don't understand, she's not pretending, she has that kind of character, she's born with it." When talking about Sister Xin'er, Yuan Mingzhu forgot her worries and became happy.
Lu Ming's nonsense finally attracted Mingzhu's attention in another direction. In fact, he was also worried about Ziyuan's situation, but he always felt that the problem was not big.
Ziyuan is indeed too smart, and neither Sheng Muyi nor Yuan Mingzhu is as good as her in terms of worldliness.
Others see Sheng Muyi and Yuan Ziyuan being together every day and think that Sheng Muyi is the main one between them. In fact, Sheng Muyi always asks Yuan Ziyuan when she encounters something.
Yuan Ziyuan is a decisive person, and Lu Ming feels that no matter what happens, she will definitely find a way to escape safely.
Yuan Ziyuan is not showing up now, which must be due to her difficulties and difficulties.
Thinking this way, he felt much better. It was like self-deception and self-hypnosis. Although it seemed a bit stupid, it really worked.
