A charming and dangerous character

A large group of sparrows stood silently on the branches where the leaves had fallen.

Their iron-gray conical beaks are not as chattering as usual, but they are closed uniformly today, as if they also dislike the increasingly cold northern autumn.But their countless pairs of black eyes were surprisingly tacit, all staring closely at a building located to the west.

The glass curtain wall of that building shines like diamonds in the sunlight, in stark contrast to the infinite desolation of the park - but what makes people feel weird is that these two completely different styles of scenes are placed in the same frame , inexplicably a kind of harmonious serenity and calm.

"...It is reported that the wife of a well-known entrepreneur in this city was killed at the beginning of the month. The entrepreneur had planned an overseas trip before..."

Before the cold-tempered hostess of the news program finished broadcasting, the screen on the super large-screen TV in the office suddenly went dark.

Qiu Chuyi immediately looked at Assistant Sun who had just put down the remote control in his hand. It was Sun Qian who had turned off the noisy sounds just now.

Assistant Sun Qian also looked back at Qiu Chuyi. The young director was standing upright by the window against the sunlight. His figure was tall and straight, and his face was blurred, but he could see his usual deep and three-dimensional appearance.Nothing can be seen from his face, the sun is still rising from the east, and everything seems to be as usual.

But when their eyes met silently in the air, they knew that they knew each other—everything has changed since the news just came out.

Qiu Chuyi didn't blame Assistant Sun for his self-assertion, his tone was as calm as usual, and he just asked, "Do you know who did it?"

Sun Qian turned around and closed the door, making sure that the conversation between the two would not be heard by anyone, and then replied respectfully: "Sorry boss, I haven't found it yet." After thinking and thinking, she couldn't help asking: "Perhaps...you are right? Any ideas on who might do something like this?"

Her idea is not unreasonable.After all, Arrow has only been established for five years, yet it is able to gain a foothold in City S and is so prosperous, but the capitalist market is so big in total, and it is inevitable that they will accidentally offend someone when doing business.

"No." Qiu Chuyi shook his head after thinking about it seriously.He rubbed the Jingming acupoint on the bridge of his nose as if he was tired. Although his eyes were closed, his brows were still tightly frowned: "I didn't think of who or the media might have disclosed this news for the time being."

Under Qiu Chuyi's strong concealment, not many people knew the news of Jiang Nanxi's death—who could it be?

He first ruled out his old acquaintance Cheng Ye, based on what he knew about him, it was impossible for Cheng Ye to do such a boring thing like stabbing him in the back;

There is also Director Zhang of the Municipal Bureau, and Director Song who once talked with Zhang Bureau and hid behind the scenes to actually manipulate. He does not think that these two people will be happy to see the media know about this unsolved case, because this incident Once it is revealed, it will only bring more pressure to the police.

Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is the instinct of humans and even all animals. Thinking about it this way, neither of the above two should have motivation.Only the party that would have actual interests in this matter could actively disclose Jiang Nanxi's murder to the media.

"By the way, Mr. Qiu, there are still some changes in the schedule. I think I should tell you all of them." Assistant Sun watched Qiu Chuyi's face carefully, fearing that the boss would be angry and hurt himself, and said in a more cautious tone: "Original The meeting party on the supplier's side just informed me that it was a temporary matter and might need to be canceled, and the following retailers called..."

"Okay, I see." Even though Qiu Chuyi didn't get angry when he heard this, his tone was normal, but he abruptly interrupted Assistant Sun's report: "You don't have to tell me about the schedule for now, Help me to push back the itinerary that was set before.”

Sun Qian originally thought that her employer would not be easily angered if he had a high level of cultivation, so she asked in surprise after hearing his words: "Huh?"

She didn't understand what Qiu Chuyi meant, and thought that it was these guys who made the employer unhappy: "Mr. Qiu, not everyone is going to make trouble at this time..."

I don't want Qiu Chuyi to continue to say: "My wife died unexpectedly, but my husband is still working as usual outside—"

His voice sounded unusually cold, and his eyes were even more indifferent, as if there was no emotion in his eyes: "If you heard this from someone else, what would you think of this husband?"

Sun Qian realized it later, and was startled into a cold sweat by the calm tone of voice.

She only cared about the immediate interests of the company just now, and almost ignored the pain and sorrow that Qiu Chuyi should show as the owner of the company.

After all, that is his first wife, no matter whether there is true love between the two, at least in the eyes of the public, as a husband, he should not have any strength at this moment.

However, she can't blame her completely - Jiang Nanxi's accident occurred at the beginning of the month, but until now, Qiu Chuyi has really been working in the company as usual.

She quickly nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll call right away to inform the cancellation of the trip."

Until Sun Qian's figure completely disappeared from the field of vision, Qiu Chuyi didn't say a word.

Time passed slowly, the shadow of the sun moved down, and the countless spotlights suddenly lit outside the window startled the sparrows in the trees. These poor birds fluttered their wings, and their lonely and helpless figures quickly flew into Qiu Chuyi's eyes.

Since the Arrow Building is a super high-rise building, the windows of Qiu Chuyi's office on the top floor cannot be opened outwards, and now he can only vaguely see the twinkling stars directly below, as if the night has turned white, and the sky full of stars has descended on the ground .

He could guess without thinking about it, there must be a lot of noise outside because of Jiang Nanxi's murder, and the Arrow Building must have heard the news at this time, and there must be a lot of media.

These guys who see all directions and listen to all directions are like a group of sharks smelling blood in the sea. No matter how far they are from the blood source, they will come here in one go. Who wants to get some benefits out of this matter? .

It's just a bunch of clowns, the group's PR or lawyer Zhou will find a way (whether bribery or whatever) to solve them quickly, without him doing it himself.

In addition to these annoying guys, Qiu Chuyi also noticed a residential building not far from the Arrow Building.

It seemed that a funeral was being held there. The large mourning hall was filled with all kinds of wreaths and paper objects, and the eyes were filled with sad yellow and white colors.The crowd who came to mourn and cry crowded downstairs in the community, and their reluctance and mourning seemed to linger in Qiu Chuyi's ears endlessly through layers of glass.

This is the grief that normal family members should have when facing the loss of their loved ones.

He also knew that the most important thing he should do at this moment was to go downstairs. Whether it was true or false, it was best to be in front of those reporters like this group of family members who had lost their loved ones. Flow, pour out your pain and nostalgia for the dead to them.

But recently he has become less and less able to make this kind of disguise. Even the simple performance in the police station before, he now disdains to show it in front of others.Anyway, there is a special person to take care of the media, so as long as his true emotions are not discovered, he will not go wrong.

Qiu Chuyi's eyes did not stay at the community funeral for too long. There are countless past deaths and infinite future rebirths in the world every day. His eyes finally fell on a place farther away from the building.

There is a sea of ​​traffic and people, and it is generally rich and prosperous no matter day or night.

To be more precise, it is located at No. 1818 Changqing Road in the city center - Yetian Pool.

He looked there as if remembering something.

The lips were slightly pursed and the brows were wrinkled, more like some unpleasant memories.

November is about to enter the middle of the month, and the weather has become even colder. It seems that even the scorching sun in the sky can't warm up the scene caused by the sudden drop in temperature.

The autumn wind is like a cold knife piercing through the bones. People walking on the street wrapped their clothes tightly in the wind, and there are some cool colors of black, white and gray in sight.

The girl came to Yetianchi under such circumstances.

The country girl who came to the big city for the first time has never seen such a magnificent building before. While she kept clicking her tongue inwardly, she concealed it very well on the surface. She slowly entered the door under the guidance of the person in front, and the girl's face was calm. Vice-accustomed to calm.

This was a job that was hard to get. The girl watched the relatives who introduced her to the job kept nodding and bowing, but her attention was all attracted by a woman upstairs.

It was a woman with an extremely plump figure. Although her temperament was mature, the expression on her face was quite cold. She was definitely a natural stunner that people would never forget.

She carefully hides the envy and jealousy in her eyes, and secretly remembers in her heart that she will also be like this woman in the future, she must make a name for herself here!

Compared with this small or even easy job, the girl once suffered more in that barren valley.After a period of time, she really performed better than others in the same period, and the foreman quickly noticed her.

So one night the foreman took her into a private room, where the mature woman she had seen before was sitting in it.The foreman said that he wanted to change her job, a job that would earn more money and make her a success. The woman in front of her was her future boss who was in charge of interviewing her.

Until a long time later, she still remembered the scene of that day.

At that time, the woman took out a very thin cigarette, and the foreman immediately picked up the lighter and lit it for her. The charming face was half-hidden behind the lingering smoke, and she was not as beautiful as a mortal, but more like a fairy in mythology. .

"Are you willing to suffer?" the woman asked her.

The girl nodded hastily, saying that she is from a mountainous area and is not afraid of any dirty work.

The woman only asked her three questions that day, but the second one was very sharp: "Have you ever served a man before?"

The girl was stunned after hearing this, but quickly realized what the woman meant, and instantly understood the true nature of the high-paying job introduced by the foreman, and her dewy little face flushed immediately.

The woman didn't hear her answer for a long time, and felt that this little girl who seemed to be tricked here must not be "competent" for the job—perhaps there was also a trace of her rare kindness in not wanting to destroy the girl's innocence.

Just when she said to the foreman, "Take her away", the girl seemed to have made an important decision.She suddenly shook off the foreman's hand, ran up to the woman and said to her, "I couldn't do it before, but I can learn!"

The woman looked at this good-looking girl from a poor background again, and found that her blushing face had not faded, but her eyes were extremely firm, almost exactly the same as when she first came here.

After waving to the foreman to go out, the woman finally looked at the girl kneeling in front of her who was still a little scared, and asked her last question: "What's your name? My name is Du Jialan. You can call me Sister Du from now on."

"Shi Xiang." As if afraid of being misunderstood, she hurriedly explained to the woman: "It's Shi Xiangyun's Shi Xiang."

Girls have always hated this name that sounds like something gross.

The source of her name is of course Shi Xiangyun, who is one of the twelve hairpins in Jinling, who is the "Begonia Poet Winner" and "Drunk Sleeping Peony Yin" in "A Dream of Red Mansions".

Perhaps when she was named, her family had high hopes for her.It's a pity that the golden phoenix can't fly in the poor mountain valley. Such delicate and elegant names are reduced to that barren land. People will only associate those dirty things because of their homonyms, not the corresponding scenery of the moon in the original book.

When the poetic and picturesque name gradually became a pain in her heart, countless nasty and disgusting nicknames accompanied her growth, even throughout her childhood and adolescence.

Girls wish they could stuff themselves back into the womb, or wish they had never been born into this world.

But what she didn't know was how this name, which she had despised for a long time, would affect people in the future.

More than ten years later, under the same cold weather as that day, the S City Police Department.

"Boss, found out!"

I saw Gao Zhiqiang holding a piece of A4 paper in his hand, with a hurried expression, and almost ran into the office in a hurry.He slapped the result of the quick search on the table in the middle, so that everyone could see it clearly.

Cheng Ye's eyes were sharp and his brain reacted quickly. He glanced through the contents of the paper almost ten lines at a glance, but his expression seemed to be greatly shocked: "I'm going, I didn't make a mistake, right? Lao Gao, are the results of your investigation must be accurate?" His tone sounded full of surprise.

The rest of the people also had unbelievable expressions on their faces after reading it, but Lao Gao said with certainty, "I am sure, confirmed and very sure that the results I found are not wrong, captain, you can question my boss High character, but you must never doubt my ability!"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Gao Zhiqiang held up the copies of the two ID cards he had obtained from Du Jialan's party before: "These two ID cards are real, and belong to Shi Xiang and Jiang Nanxi respectively, but—" He pointed to the last The conclusion in the column below: "Jiang Nanxi is a new identity that Shi Xiang illegally obtained after he came to S City."

"That is to say, Shi Xiang is Jiang Nanxi, and Jiang Nanxi is Shi Xiang!"

"And Boss, do you know what else I found?" Gao Zhiqiang deliberately didn't say anything to whet their appetite because of the previous suspicions.

Qi Zhanzhu is impatient, completely inconsistent with everyone's nickname for him: "What? Gao Zhiqiang, don't play tricks on us, tell us quickly!"

Cheng Ye also slapped Gao Zhiqiang's fat hand with a crisp sound: "Say!"

The self-proclaimed supernatural Gao Zhiqiang chuckled, and accepted it as soon as he saw it.He once again took out a document and put it in front of everyone, only to see that it read "Eleventh Five Extraordinary Disappearance Case" on the title.

Huang Rong asked: "Isn't Jiang Nanxi a victim of 'Eleventh Two'? What do you mean by taking out the files of the next-door group?"

Gao Zhiqiang didn't answer directly, but turned the page to a record of an insider's interview, and gestured with his eyes to let everyone discover the mystery.

At first, it was a questioning with the mother of the missing person, but Cheng Ye saw that most of the records were meaningless repetitive words.

It wasn't until the middle of the page, maybe the investigators felt that they couldn't ask anything, and called another person in, and from here the whole question began to become clear——

"Relationship with the missing person?"

"I am her sister."

"Name?"

"Shi Yu. The history of Shiji, the Yu of Sichuan and Chongqing."

"Your sister's name?"

"Shi Xiang, is the Shi Xiang of Shi Xiangyun in "A Dream of Red Mansions."

"..."

In the Bible, Jehovah once said: My people will also be satisfied with my favor.

If God gave you an opportunity to change your life, would you accept it without hesitation?

Everyone has a different answer.

And that poor girl who was so eager to change her name, when she faced this problem, she chose to abandon the past without hesitation or nostalgia.

The name that was placed in high hopes by her family and also brought her too much pain was never known after that.

As a result, this mountain village girl from a remote area has also become another person.

More than ten years ago, she would never have imagined that she would have a fairy tale more like Cinderella and the prince in the future, a completely different and completely new life.

Since then,

The "Eleventh Two" Jiang Nanxi murder case and the "Eleventh Five-Year" extraordinarily serious disappearance case were formally investigated together.
