Chapter 43 Section VIII
The rattan box containing Xing Zhigang's body was placed at the door of the Qin mansion. The belt was broken, and there were scorching marks at the fracture. The varnish on the box surface had been polished, and it felt rough to the touch.Xing Zhigang's face was swollen, his lips were black and purple, he was completely naked, and his hair was covered with tiny black bugs.When Xia Bing saw such corpses, he inexplicably thought of those unknown floating corpses on the Huangpu River, but they had not swelled to such a degree.However, after the transformation, Xing Zhigang is still a good-looking man. His brows, which were soaked and soaked, were covered with powdery salt grains, and his pale buttocks curled into a smooth arc.
"Who did it?"
After the rattan box containing the "beautiful corpse" was moved to the lobby of the Qin Mansion, its owner sat on it and drank tea calmly, only glanced at Xia Bing from the corner of his eye, and said, "Do you know who made it?"
"I know." Xia Bing nodded, "It's Xu Zai."
"How do you know?"
"Xing Zhigang has been hiding in that little star's residence recently. After you released Xu Zai, he was taken in by Qi Yun. Later, Qi Yun went to Binhai to film a movie, and Xu Zai was also in the crew. At that time, Qi Yun dragged five boxes. Yes, but there are only four left when I come back." Xia Bing said as he wiped the rough corners of the bottom of the box, and the word "Yun" was engraved on the metal corners.
"He also put this box?"
"should be."
"Why? Killed Xing Zhigang and exposed Qiyun—"
"It's not about exposing, it's about Qiyun wanting to make a deal with Master Qin. Without Xing Zhigang's life, I wouldn't be able to gain your trust." Du Chunxiao, who had been sitting in the corner playing with tarot cards, finally opened his eyes in a dark voice. mouth.
"In this way, you didn't follow Xu Zai to the conclusion, but Miss Qiyun asked you to bring it?"
"That's right. But—" Du Chunxiao picked up the cards and said with a smile, "She will meet you at the Red Pomegranate Restaurant on Suzhou Road tonight. Besides the transaction, she will talk about another matter. What you are most concerned about right now."
"What's up?"
"Fifth wife's matter."
The porcelain cup in Qin Yazhe's hand burst suddenly, and turmeric tea flowed from his thick fingers.
"It's rare for Master Qin to lose his composure." Du Chunxiao seemed unable to get rid of his harshness, "But after Xing Zhigang's death, Qiyun is probably the only one who knows the whereabouts of Mrs. Fifth."
"Xing Zhigang did not kidnap Mrs. Fifth." In the red pomegranate restaurant, Qi Yun said what Qin Yazhe didn't like to hear the most in the first sentence.If she hadn't lied, then seeing Bi Xiaoqing would be a long way off. "I know that's what you're most concerned about, so—" "Then you must know that looking for me like this, I'm here too, just for the result. If not, you should figure out what follow-up." Qin Yazhe said this word by word, slowly, as if he was just introducing a rare antique to others. Faced with such a blatant threat, Qiyun showed no fear, instead she smiled even wider, her face like a peony blooming: "Look, Master Qin is in a hurry! They just said that Xing Zhigang didn't tie up Mrs. Fifth, and didn't say no. I know the whereabouts of the fifth wife." "I heard that Miss Qiyun wants to negotiate a deal with someone from Qin. I wonder what you mean?" Qin Yazhe suddenly changed the subject, which made Qiyun a little at a loss. She had no choice but to follow him and said, "Of course it's about that batch of goods. The reason why Master Qin didn't kill Fifth Wife, but wanted to catch her alive, presumably it was because of it?" This sentence really made Qin Yazhe's face stiff. "Master Qin doesn't have to think too much about this matter. It doesn't matter if something is gone. The important thing is how to make up for it. Don't let that person know." Dots on the sleeves. "Please speak." Qin Yazhe took a while to say two words. "Next week, another batch of goods will be transported from Songjiangkou to the British Concession. I will tell you the time and transaction signal when the time comes. As long as Mr. Qin brings the goods and fills them up, nothing will happen. " "I did it, what good is it for you?" "Fourty-six split, I six you four." "You are a woman, can you swallow so much?" "That's all, you killed me before I walked out the door, and it's over." She smiled coquettishly, with a silver spoon wrapped around her fingers. Qin Yazhe's waist is still straight, which is incompatible with the elegant and comfortable atmosphere in the store.He has always been dignified and traditional, but he also exudes the charm of a man for no reason. Qiyun stood up slowly, but when she walked past Qin Yazhe, she was grabbed by the wrist. The strength was not strong, but it was extremely frightening. "After you get the money, give Bi Xiaoqing to me." She broke free from him, with a contemptuous smile on the corner of her lips, which was somewhat confused.
The air around Zhu Fanghua has always been cold and thin, so this winter she made a lot of knitted fabrics to cover the dining table and the back of the sofa.The crochet needle keeps jumping up and down on the fingertips, and the touch of the wool rubbing against the skin is soft and monotonous. She does not have to complete these manual tasks, but once she moves her hands, her mind can temporarily stop, which is the effect. Occasionally looking out of the window, the holly leaves in the courtyard have turned golden, the fresh and lush roses in the flower garden in summer have long disappeared, and the thick silver frost around the altar made her feel like it was snowing.But then I looked at a nearby kumquat tree, with strange markings on the branches with bare leaves, and I realized that Shanghai was nothing but clean.The woman standing under the tree still made Zhu Fanghua feel chilly. She had seen that woman before, and although she just rubbed shoulders, she was deeply impressed, because it was rare for a woman who didn't look like a merry-go-round to have such a strong smell of cigarettes on her body.The relationship between her and Shi Changyun is also complicated.But she didn't want to go into details, and only hoped that things would pass sooner, but unfortunately she couldn't make it through, so she had to sit there weaving all kinds of bedding and wrestling with time. "Grandma, a lady surnamed Du is looking for you." Auntie ran in and said, her face also indifferent. "Surnamed Du? Have you seen it before?" She put down the fabric and stroked her somewhat dry forehead hair. "I've never seen it before. Yi said that Yi is a friend of the second young master. I have something to tell the eldest wife. He is in the garden right now. Ask Yi to come in?" Zhu Fanghua nodded. The padded jacket on Du Chunxiao's body was big and shapeless. It was a little loose around the waist and abdomen, but his chest was tight, leaving no room for it.The white floral pattern on the light blue background is quite awkward, but it has a feeling of sunshine.Zhu Fanghua realized that she hadn't seen the sun for a long time, even though her lipstick was meticulously applied. "It smells so good... what did you have for lunch?" Du Chunxiao sniffed vigorously, looking very funny. "Braised eggplant in oil, stewed eggs in water, and fried shredded beef." The reason why Zhu Fanghua wanted to report everything was because he was testing whether he had become a walking dead who could not remember the age. "Do you know me?" Du Chunxiao smiled. "I've seen it." Zhu Fanghua lowered her head, feeling a little inexplicably hot in her ears, "You guessed what was in the rattan box and asked Elie to ask me for verification?" "Yes, in fact, you still hope that you don't guess right?" never mind…… Zhu Fanghua thought in her heart, but said, "It's a bit of a surprise." "It was me by accident!" Du Chunxiao took out a Tarot card, put it in Zhu Fanghua's hand, and said, "I'm here to tell your fortune." "I don't need it." Zhu Fanghua returned the card without looking at it. "You don't want to do the math, but I want to do the math." Du Chunxiao ignored his disapproval, excitedly took the cards, shuffled them three times, and formed a diamond formation, "This time, I want to do the math." Where did Shi Changyun go?" "In the past... don't forget about the past, anyway, I know he is in prison." She cheerfully removed the past card - the king in the right place. "The future card... I don't need it for the time being." After finishing speaking, she also took away the reversed hermit, leaving only the present status card side by side. Righteous world. The Reversed Queen. "Since it is a world card, it means that the sky and the earth are big, let him roam. But... after all, he still can't escape from the palm of a woman! After all, he is a pampered young master, and he is protected everywhere. So..." Du Chunxiao suddenly lowered his voice The volume of the voice was close to Zhu Fanghua's ear, "Is he in this room now?" Zhu Fanghua smelled a seductive aura other than the smell of cigarettes, and suddenly felt a little dizzy: "What nonsense are you talking about?" "To be precise, he should be upstairs in Master Shi's room, right? He has bleached his white hair, made up to look like his father, and passed the inspection of Sergeant Eliye. Am I right?" Zhu Fanghua turned her head away, and said loudly to the aunt who lived in the outer room: "Come in to see off the guests!" "No need, I'll go by myself." Du Chunxiao stood up and put the cards in his pocket, "I'm not here to see Second Young Master Shi, so don't worry about it." At this time, the auntie had already run in on tiptoe, but Du Chunxiao seemed to lose sight of her. She still faced Zhu Fanghua who was sitting upright on the sofa, and said, "Madam, remember to put on less lipstick in the future, as it will easily reveal your mind." She tapped a little more That muscular aunt, "Just now I asked her how the master's illness was and how many medicines he had taken, but she couldn't answer at all. She just said that she didn't seem to need any medicine. This is really strange." "What's strange? Come up and talk to me!" Shi Changyun's slightly shrill voice came from upstairs.
"Xing Zhigang did not kidnap Mrs. Fifth." In the red pomegranate restaurant, Qi Yun said what Qin Yazhe didn't like to hear the most in the first sentence.If she hadn't lied, then seeing Bi Xiaoqing would be a long way off.
