Demon Book Strange

Walking out of the antique shop, it was already evening outside.You Wenyue hired a rickshaw to go to the French Concession. On the way, the guy pulling the cart said, "Master, as long as you give me an extra copper coin, I promise to take you to Joffre Road in the French Concession."

You asked Yue Yile: "Okay."

Afterwards, the coachman skillfully took him across the public concession, and then evaded the police and took a small path into the French concession.Then cross the path and run into the main road.Then he raced against the tram to deliver You Wenyue safely to his doorstep.

The driver of the rickshaw was sweating profusely. He was panting and picked up the towel hanging on his shoulder to wipe his face. You Wenyue paid an extra two copper coins.The coachman showed his white teeth and thanked: "Thank you, master, thank you, master." After that, he pulled the cart and avoided the police and returned to the International Settlement smoothly.

"I'm back." You Wenyue said loudly.

You Wenzhu said: "Second brother, come to eat. Granny Wu made roast suckling pig!"

You Wen replied with a smile, "Okay."

When participating in the dinner, Jing Run came to visit.You Wen held the pig's trotter in his hand and asked, "Housekeeper Jingrun, do you want to eat?"

Jing Run shook his head with a stiff smile: "No. I came here to say one thing."

Looking at his expression, You Wenyue felt that something was wrong: "What's the matter?"

Jing Run said, "The boss is missing?"

The three of them who had eaten sweetly were taken aback for a moment, You Wenyue put down the pig's trotters, and he took out a handkerchief to wipe his mouth and hands: "What's going on?"

Jing Run said: "The day before yesterday, the boss was invited by Jardine Matheson's boss Chen to have dinner, and then disappeared. And Chen passed out on the table at the time. No one can tell what happened at that time. I don't know, it was Who took the boss away."

The Oriental Cat flicked its non-existent tail: "So, you who have been searching for two days but haven't found anyone, have you come to us?"

You Wenzhu worriedly asked: "So have you found it now?" No wonder the elder brother didn't come home these two days.Thought he was busy at the playground.

Jing Run shook his head, and continued: "Xiao Baylor and the others have already gone to look for it. If there is any news, they must tell the second son."

You Wenyue stood up: "Take me to see Chen Jinsheng."

Knowing that he wanted to investigate in person, Jing Run nodded.You Wenzhu got off the chair too: "I'll go too."

You asked Yue: "You and Granny Wu stay at home and wait for the news. Okay?"

Looking up at the second brother who was smiling at her, You Wenzhu nodded obediently: "Okay. As long as the second brother is there, the eldest brother will be fine."

This sense of trust makes people feel warm.You Wenyue patted his sister's head, then turned around and took the kitten to investigate.

Jing Run drove all the way to Chen Jinsheng's small western-style building.On the way, Jing Run explained what he had investigated in the past two days.The dinner that Chen Jinsheng invited You Wensheng had medicine in it, so it should be someone's medicine.However, the Chen family has no suspects. "

The little cat asked: "Could it be Chen Jinsheng who directed and acted himself?"

You Wenyue gently rubbed his lower lip with his finger: "No."

The kitten asked, "Why?"

You Wenyue said: "The gains outweigh the losses."

Chen Jinsheng likes big brother, if he really uses this method to win someone, he will only lose him. Therefore, he will not do stupid things that are not good for him.

The little cat couldn't understand the consciousness in it, but Jingrun understood it.Chen Jinsheng liked the boss, he could tell at a glance.The prohibition of prostitution in the former Qing Dynasty led to many beautiful small restaurants.This matter was only explicitly prohibited in the early days of the Republic of China, but in private, there are still many people who like it.If you really care about it, Chen Jinsheng is a good gentleman who keeps himself clean.

When the car drove up to Chen Jinsheng's small western-style building, someone knocked on the car window.You Wenyue saw that it was the little Baylor who was running long and beautifully.The young man who came from the former Qing Dynasty felt like returning to the former dynasty when the lights were on.

The three got out of the car, and Jing Run asked, "Have you found any clues?"

Little Baylor shook his head.Jing Run said: "Continue to investigate." Little Baylor nodded and disappeared into the darkness.

Before entering Xiaoyanglou, Dongfang Mao asked curiously: "Brother disappeared, this is a good chance for you to be free. Why do you want to investigate?"

Jing Run asked with a smile: "Master Dongfang suspects that the five of us kidnapped the boss?"

Dongfang Mao showed a cat face: "Anyone is a suspect, isn't it?"

Jing Run said: "It is true that we have a reason to kidnap and kill the boss. But we will not easily tear up the contract with the boss."

The Oriental Cat asked, "Why?"

Jing Run said: "The boss is someone I am willing to follow." After speaking, he knocked on the door of the small western building.The servants inside invited them in.

Chen Jinsheng's small western-style building is very luxurious, and the furnishings inside are full of western style.Chen Jinsheng didn't want to meet You Wenyue, but he still greeted him with a cold face.

Several people went upstairs.At that time, Chen Jinsheng invited You Wensheng to have dinner on the balcony on the second floor.

You Wenyue walked around the scene and said, "At that time, where was my brother sitting?"

Chen Jinsheng pulled out his chair: "Here."

You asked to sit down, and continued to ask, "What about you?"

Chen Jinsheng sat across from him.You Wenyue continued to ask, "What did you all eat?"

Chen Jinsheng answered them one by one.In fact, Jingrun has already said all this, but he wants to recreate the scene again.You Wenyue finally asked: "You, who fell first? The servants at home, do you see any suspicious people or shadows?"

Chen Jinsheng said: "I fell down first. I asked, and they didn't see any suspicious people or shadows that night, and they didn't hear anything else. It's just that when it was time to change tea, the servant who came came saw me It was only when I fell on the table that I realized something had happened.”

You Wenyue asked: "That day, did any suspicious people approach you? Or did you hear any strange words?"

Chen Jinsheng frowned: "On that day?" Jing Run and the others came to investigate, but they never asked about it.He remembered that during the day, he was busy in the foreign firm, and when he came home, he asked the driver to drive the car.Along the way, nothing strange happened.

Chen Jinsheng recounted the events of the day one by one.

After You Wenyue finished listening, he stopped asking.He stood up, walked around the small balcony, and then waved to Dongfang Mao. Dongfang Mao jumped, You Wenyue hugged him, hugged him, and jumped off the balcony.

Under the balcony is the window of the kitchen. At that time, if you leave here, you should be spotted by the servants in the kitchen.After that, You Wenyue and Dongfang Mao tried to escape from all directions.

Finally, the roof was settled.He took the candle and jumped on the roof.Then look for clues.Impatient Chen Jinsheng asked, "What did you find out?"

You Wenyue let out a "shh" and continued to check the tiles.Sure enough, he found three uneven tiles.If the other party takes the person away, there will naturally be weight on his body.If you go through the front door, it is easy to bump into people.If you walk from the left and right, it is easier to enter other people's houses.Moreover, the windows of the two houses next to each other are open.

The only safe way out is behind the house.And the roof became the route for that person to leave.

No matter how careful the other party was, You Wenyue found clues.Those three uneven tiles became evidence of the opponent's escape.You Wenyue saw the unclear shoe prints by candlelight.It can be deduced from the shoe prints that the other party is an adult man.

Looking at the darkness behind the small bungalow, You Wenyue held a candle and wanted to continue checking footprints.But it was dark and hard to find.If Jingrun sends people to investigate, too many people's footsteps will surely cover that person's footsteps.

Never take that risk.

So You Wenyue said, "Chen Jinsheng, I'll stay at your house tonight."

Oriental Cat raised his hand: "Me too."

Chen Jinsheng's face twitched: "It's up to you." Then he handed over the family affairs to the housekeeper, and went back to his room to rest.

Jing Run bid farewell and left, saying that he would come back tomorrow.You Wenyue said, no, he will investigate on his own.Jing Run nodded and said that if they had any news, they would let them know in time.Afterwards, drive back to New World Amusement Park.

The housekeeper of the Chen family arranged two guest rooms for You Wenyue and Dongfang Mao, but Dongfang Mao didn't want to sleep alone, so the young man and the boy squeezed together on the same bed.

Fortunately, the bed is big enough.

Dongfang Mao yawned: "The second brother is worried about the eldest brother."

You Wenyue put his hands behind his head: "Yes. However, as long as the eldest brother is still useful, his life will not be in danger."

"Then what if the other party has not issued conditions?"

"That's a bit of a hassle."

Jingrun and the others searched for it for two days, but the other party did not issue any conditions.This means that You Wenyue's life is in greater danger.If the purpose of the kidnapper's kidnapping was only for money, it would be easier to say.If it was for other purposes, they would be racing against death.

You Wenyue said: "However, I wrote down the shoe prints. If you find the shoe prints near the back of the house tomorrow morning, you should be able to find clues."

Oriental Cat narrowed its eyes, let out a drowsy "hmm" and fell asleep.

You Wenyue opened his eyes and thought wildly.

Being able to take someone away in Jingrun's hands, the other party is also considered capable.At the same time, being able to take people away silently, obviously, he already knew that Chen Jinsheng would treat his elder brother to dinner.Therefore, he concluded that the medicine was dispensed when the servant went out to buy vegetables.The unsuspecting servants brought the drugged ingredients home and prepared them for the master.

The opponent has a plan.

He thought that one day, the elder brother would attract dark things, but he didn't come so soon.However, he would have saved him no matter what.

Feeling sleepy, You Wenyue slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

At this time, on the Shanghai Customs Building, the night wind was blowing, and Aixinjue Luo Yidong's robe and the long braid behind his head moved with the wind.Standing on a high place, he could see the entire Eastern Metropolis in his eyes.

From Beijing, to Tianjin in the Nine Kingdoms Concession, and then to Shanghai, where the judiciary is independent in the three realms.

It is this place, once people come, they can never leave again.

In the middle of the night, the public concessions and the French concessions were brightly lit, while the Huajie "wrapping around" the concessions was dark, only dotted with stars.

The boundary marker seemed to separate the two worlds.

"Boss, don't die. Otherwise, this place will be too boring." After speaking, little Baylor jumped off the Shanghai Customs Building.

In the early morning, You Wenyue heard the pattering sound of rain, he suddenly opened his eyes and turned over, then opened the window—it was raining outside.

You Wenyue suddenly regretted why he didn't continue to track down the footprints last night.

After a night of rain, everything disappeared.
