After returning to CSY, Luo Jiayan made detailed questioning notes for Ji Xin. At the same time, she also collected her fingerprints, footprints, and of course, DNA samples.
Ji Xin showed no resistance to these necessary procedures and cooperated very much.
After the questioning, Ji Xin left CSY.
Instead of going back to the hotel, she went to a coffee shop.
Zero Degree Cafe is located in a prime location in the central district of S City. The location is so good, the rent is not cheap, and natural coffee is also very expensive. The people who often come here to drink coffee are all professional elites.
Ji Xin sat by the window on the third floor, looking at the endless flow of people outside. Compared to the hustle and bustle on the street, the cafe seemed particularly quiet.
Ji Xin ordered a cup of Italian espresso coffee. This kind of coffee is very bitter. A small cup can make people energetic all day long. However, this kind of coffee is not something that ordinary people can bear because it is too bitter.
Chinese medicine is still bitter, and most of the people who occasionally order this kind of coffee are men. On rare occasions, women order this kind of coffee. Therefore, the waiter was stunned after hearing the name of the coffee Ji Xin ordered.
After the coffee was brought by the waiter and placed on the table, Ji Xin picked up the spoon and looked out the window, while her hands kept stirring the coffee, seemingly out of boredom and waiting for someone.
Ji Xin is very beautiful and quiet. She sits quietly by the window and looks at the scenery outside the window, while some people in the cafe are looking at the scenery by the window. It is different from the noisy bar. Although Ji Xin is long
She is very beautiful and has a good figure, especially her side face at this moment, which has attracted the attention of countless men, but still no one takes the initiative to strike up a conversation.
When people curse someone, in addition to some swear words to greet the women in the other person's family, the most common thing they say is that the person has no quality and no education. Indeed, in many cases, education and quality are very reflective of a person. If you are in
In an entertainment venue like a bar, when a beauty like Ji Xin appears, countless men who feel good about themselves will definitely come to chat with her. But now in the coffee shop, the people sitting here are all well-educated people.
They really wanted to kiss Fangze, and wished they could take off all the beauty in front of them, throw her on the hotel bed, and have a 'world war', but their upbringing told them not to do this.
Ji Xin sat in the coffee shop like this for half an hour, looking at the scenery for half an hour, but the cup of coffee on the table remained untouched.
Just when a man whose clothes looked unusual couldn't bear the throbbing in his heart and was about to get up to strike up a conversation, a woman walked up from the second floor.
This is a man who looks to be in his thirties, but judging from his walking posture and aura, he must be in his fourth year.
The woman was wearing big sunglasses and holding a valuable brand-name bag in her hand. She stood at the top of the stairs and looked around quickly. Finally, her eyes rested on Ji Xin, and then she walked over.
Sit down opposite Ji Xin.
Maybe there was an extra person in front of her, which caught Ji Xin's attention. Maybe she had already known that someone was coming. After the woman sat down, she turned her head and looked at the woman calmly.
"You're late." Ji Xin said.
"Sorry, there are too many things going on in the company recently, so I'm late."
The woman said apologetic words, but there was no apologetic expression on her face. Ji Xin was not surprised by this.
While the two women were talking, the waiter came over and asked the woman what she wanted to drink.
Just as the woman was about to say something, she was interrupted by Ji Xin, who said no need and sent the waiter away, then pushed the cup of coffee in front of her to the woman.
This later woman was none other than Tang Youyou, the boss of Baiyou Entertainment Company.
Tang Youyou looked at the cup of coffee that had already cooled down, and frowned subconsciously. Then, not knowing what she thought of, she shook her head with a wry smile, and without refusing, picked up the coffee and took a sip.
The Italian espresso coffee ESPRESSO was very bitter. Tang Youyou only took a small sip before frowning and her face became ugly. She had the urge to spit out the coffee in her mouth, but in the end she didn't.
Instead of doing so, she chose to swallow it, but she also put down the coffee cup in her hand.
It wasn't until Tang Youyou put the coffee cup on the table that Ji Xin slowly said, "Does Xu Lulu's case have anything to do with you?"
There were no greetings after a long separation, and no special politeness. Ji Xin asked very directly.
I don't know whether it was because the coffee was too bitter or because Ji Xin's questions were too naked. Tang Youyou kept frowning and looking at the beautiful woman in front of her who was once very familiar but now seemed a little strange.
Even Tang Youyou, who has become a capitalist, has to admit that the profession of acting is really a profession that God rewards. Some people spend their whole life and give everything, but they are still tepid, and no one can even do it.
Remember their names and even their looks, and some people can turn red and purple without any effort at all. Obviously, Ji Xin belongs to the latter, and so does Tang Youyou.
This time, Tang Youyou did not choose to remain silent as she did when facing Xu Lang's interrogation at the police station. She shook her head first, and then nodded.
"At first, I thought this case had nothing to do with me, and it really had nothing to do with me. However, some time ago I suddenly discovered that this case had something to do with me."
Ji Xin did not continue to ask, but looked at Tang Youyou with a scrutinizing gaze for a while, and then said, "You don't seem to have told the police the truth."
"yes
of."
Not sure if it was because Ji Xin told her the secret in her heart, or because she was really thirsty, or because she was too tired and needed coffee to refresh herself, Tang Youyou picked up the bitter coffee again and took a big sip.
"Is it worth it?" Ji Xin asked.
Tang Youyou did not speak, but raised her head, glanced at Ji Xin, and continued to stare at the bitter coffee in front of her.
"If you continue like this, Baiyou will collapse." Ji Xin said again.
Tang Youyou put down the coffee cup, neither paying attention to the coffee nor looking at Ji Xin. Instead, she turned her head and looked at the scenery outside the window, her eyes a little blurred.
"Over the years, Baiyou has been holding on. I have wanted to quit for a long time, but I never had the chance. Now, if something like this happens, it's actually not too bad." Tang Youyou said lightly.
"He is already dead." Ji Xin said.
"I know."
"He is really dead." Ji Xin repeated.
Tang Youyou turned her head, looked at Ji Xin, nodded, and said: "I know why you came back and what you want to say. In fact, I also want this matter to end soon, but Xiaotong finally told me with death
, asked me to help her keep this secret, so I can only remain silent and watch."
After hearing this, Ji Xin didn't say anything anymore.
"Why......"
I don't know how long it took, Ji Xin sighed deeply and stopped staring at Tang Youyou. She looked out the window.
"You shouldn't have just watched Ruan Xiaotong do that in the first place." Ji Xin murmured.
Tang Youyou didn't speak, but her eyes were a little dim.
Both of them fell silent, and the atmosphere became a little depressing for a while.
It was obvious that Tang Youyou knew something, or that she already knew who the murderer of Xu Lulu was, and Ji Xin seemed to know it as well. However, when questioned by the police, both women chose to conceal it. The former
He chose silence, while the latter pretended not to know anything.
he?
Who is he in Ji Xin’s mouth? What did Ruan Xiaotong do in the first place?
It seems that only the two women sitting opposite each other know these two questions.
I don't know how long it took, but Ji Xin turned around, looked at Tang Youyou and said, "Xu Lulu is dead, Li Ziyu is dead, Ruan Xiaotong is also dead, who will be next? Is it you? Or me?"
Tang Youyou did not look at Ji Xin. At this moment, she was holding coffee in one hand and stirring half a cup of coffee in the cup with a spoon in the other hand, as if she was studying why the coffee was so bitter.
Seeing that Tang Youyou didn't speak, Ji Xin continued: "I have met that policeman. He is very powerful. The police will find out sooner or later. Your concealment has no meaning anymore. At most, it is just delaying time."
"I never thought about how long this matter could be hidden, I was just waiting." Tang Youyou said slowly.
"Waiting? Waiting for what?"
"The butcher's knife waiting for fate." Tang Youyou raised her head and looked into Ji Xin's eyes and said.
Ji Xin was speechless again. She didn't know what to say, or what she could say.
Next, Ji Xin and Tang Youyou stopped talking. After the two of them sat there for half an hour, Ji Xin got up and left, but Tang Youyou was still sitting there, holding the cup of bitter coffee and looking at
The scenery outside the window is fascinating.
————————————————
Today is the Lantern Festival. After getting off work, Xu Lang asked everyone to get off work on time. There is no need to work overtime today.
Originally, everyone was planning to go out for dinner together, and Xu Lang also planned to go, but he left after receiving a text message.
Before leaving, Xu Lang gave Ding Haoqiong a sum of money and asked him to invite all the members of CSY out for dinner. Ding Haoqiong was a little confused about this, but he didn't ask any more questions.
After leaving CSY, Xu Lang drove out of Chengzhong District and came to Chengnan District, Nankou Village to be precise.
When Xu Lang drove to Nankou Village, there was already a black car parked here, and a man was leaning on the front of the car smoking.
After parking the car, Xu Lang opened the door and walked towards the man.
The man smoking was none other than Ai Jianbo, the leader of a group of the Special Intelligence Bureau.
After Ai Jianbo saw Xu Lang, he threw away half of the cigarette in his hand, took out the cigarette case again, and took out two cigarettes. When Xu Lang approached, he handed one of the cigarettes to Xu Lang and started again.
Light one.
"It came quickly enough." Ai Jianbo blew out a smoke ring, looked at Xu Lang and said with a smile.
Xu Lang walked to Ai Jianbo and leaned against the car door. He first took a look inside the car and found that there was no one inside. Xu Lang then lit the cigarette and blew out a faint ring of smoke.
"Why are you so anxious to find me?" Xu Lang asked.
Ai Jianbo took a deep look, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, but he was not in the mood to think about certain issues now.
"Mr. Chang appears."
"Um?"
Xu Lang stopped smoking, turned his head, and looked at Ai Jianbo with some confusion and surprise.
As if he had anticipated Xu Lang's reaction, Ai Jianbo explained: "Mr. Chang is a very important figure in the 'Master Chang' organization. Apart from the most mysterious Master Chang himself, Mr. Chang is considered
The number two person in the organization."
"Mr. Chang
Who is it? Do you have a photo?" Xu Lang asked after pondering for a moment.
However, to Xu Lang's expectation, Ai Jianbo shook his head and said, "No."
"No?"
Xu Lang raised his eyebrows.
"Mr. Chang is here. This is the nail we buried deepest in the 'Master Chang' organization. It took a lot of money to get the message back."
"Is there only one code name?" Xu Lang asked.
Ai Jianbo nodded, looked at Xu Lang and said, "There is only one code name."
"What is Mr. Chang doing back at this time?" Xu Lang asked.
Ai Jianbo shook his head and said he didn't know.
Xu Lang stopped asking questions and chose to smoke in silence.
The organization 'Master Chang' suffered a heavy blow and heavy losses a year ago. It can be said that it suffered heavy losses. After so many years of investigation and efforts by the Special Intelligence Bureau, this operation basically destroyed 'Master Chang'
The forces that have been operating in China over the past few years have been eliminated. It stands to reason that at this time, 'Master Chang' should choose to stay dormant and tuck his tail between his legs and become a talent.
The more times like this, the more they need to be quiet. It is best to do nothing. However, Mr. Chang is here. So, what is Mr. Chang doing here? Why did he choose to come back at this time? Is it still possible in China?
Do they have any hidden power?
Xu Lang didn't know that his originally good mood had become extremely bad at this moment.
"Has anyone in the Secret Service seen Mr. Chang?" Xu Lang asked.
Ai Jianbo shook his head and said: "It used to be, but it's gone now."
Xu Lang turned his head and looked at Ai Jianbo with a puzzled expression.
"Mr. Chang is not a special person, but a code name. You should know who the previous Mr. Chang was."
"Sun Wenyao?" Xu Lang asked tentatively.
However, to Xu Lang's expectation, Ai Jianbo shook his head and said: "The previous Mr. Chang was not Sun Wenyao."
"Not him? Who is that?"
Ai Jianbo looked at Xu Lang with complicated eyes, and finally said the name.
Lu Ye!
"How could it be him?!"
Xu Lang took a long puff of cigarette, then threw away the cigarette, exhaled a puff of extremely rich smoke, took out the cigarette case, and lit another cigarette. It seemed that only in this way could he stabilize his emotions.
Xu Lang always thought that Sun Wenyao was the most important person in the 'Master Chang' organization. During the long period of Xu Lang's fight with the 'Master Chang' organization, he once thought that Sun Wenyao must be a very important person in the 'Master Chang' organization.
members, Xu Lang even once thought that maybe the so-called 'Master Chang' was created by Sun Wenyao. After all, many previous members of 'Master Chang' were inextricably linked to Sun Wenyao. However,
This kind of conjecture, after seeing Sun Wenyao being shot in the head with his own eyes, Xu Lang knew that there was someone behind Sun Wenyao, or in other words, the power of 'Master Chang' was far beyond Xu Lang's imagination, and the fact was true
in this way.
Eight years ago, Xu Lang was surprised by Ye Zhenhai's 'resurrection from the dead', but he was just surprised. Later, Xu Lang was not familiar with Sun Wenyao's sudden betrayal, and he didn't have much feeling for it.
When Ye Zhenhai told Xu Lang before he died that the murderer of his mother was Shu Yue's father, Xu Lang was not only angry but also confused. However, after all this happened after the incident eight years ago,
After Shu Yue died in front of him, Xu Lang chose to forget or escape.
Back then, Xu Yuan, Ye Zhenhai, Sun Wenyao and Shu Yue's father were all dead, but Lu Ye was still alive. Xu Lang had always respected Lu Ye and almost regarded him as his father, even though,
Xu Lang never admitted this, but Xu Lang had to admit that Lu Ye was the most helpful to him during the years when he was growing up. It was precisely because of this that after learning that Lu Ye was killed, Xu Lang
Lang will choose to come back.
However, some time ago, after the most direct confrontation with Sun Wenyao, Xu Lang was shocked to discover that Lu Ye was the one who had hidden the deepest secret among them.
During the time when Xu Lang was recuperating in Yanjing City, Xu Lang once chatted with Ye Du. Ye Du mentioned Mr. Chang, or this code name. However, Xu Lang didn't care at the time, because according to Ye Du
Du said that Mr. Chang, who once led her into 'Master Chang', was dead.
Now, Ai Jianbo told Xu Lang that Mr. Chang has always existed, and the previous Mr. Chang was Lu Ye. So, the question is, who is the Mr. Chang that Ye Du came into contact with?
Seemingly seeing what Xu Lang was thinking, Ai Jianbo said: "The Mr. Chang that Ye Du contacted is not the real Mr. Chang. He is just one of the candidates for the next Mr. Chang, and he is a member of our Special Intelligence Bureau."
The person who was assigned to the 'Master Chang' organization a long time ago died eight years ago."
After hearing Ai Jianbo's explanation, Xu Lang suddenly figured out a lot of things.
Ye Du is from the Special Intelligence Bureau. She joined Master Chang for undercover missions. However, after all, Ye Du is not a professionally trained person. Compared with the veteran drivers in the Special Intelligence Bureau, Ye Du can definitely be called
She is a rookie, in fact, she may not even be a rookie. Without help, Ye Du would not have been able to enter 'Master Chang'.
Regarding the sacrifice of the special agent, Xu Lang did not ask his name, which was meaningless. But Ai Jianbo said that he sacrificed eight years ago, Xu Lang knew that it must be related to the incident eight years ago.
, by that time Sun Wenyao had already returned to 'Master Chang', and it was probably a matter of time before he was exposed.
