Ghost Ship Murderer 02 The Bearer of the Heart(1/2)
Two hours later, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang arrived at Lin Ruo's residence with Bao Zheng. Because it was not a formal investigation, there were not many people accompanying him, just checking the situation first.
Lin Ruo did not live in the apartment or in the villa, but in the ancient castle.
Zhan Zhao got off the car and looked at the British manor built on the outskirts of S City. He was amazed, "Is there such a building in S City?"
"It's a bit of an era." Bao Zheng greeted an old man who looked like a housekeeper who was greeted and took the two in.
Bai Yutang looked at the precise security equipment and the professional security personnel who could be seen everywhere, raised an eyebrow at Zhan Zhao - asking the police for help is a bit redundant, right?
Zhan Zhao doubted Lin Ruo's taste. Will this personality be good friends with Bai Jintang?
"This is not Lin Ruo's residence." Bao Zheng seemed to see the two of them and turned around to tell them, "It is his ancestral home. Because of this case, he was forcibly taken home by his parents to ensure safety."
"The young master lives in the apartment in the city. He doesn't like to live with the servant security guard. The master is worried about his safety, so he brought him back." The butler was polite.
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other - no wonder Baoju said that his family background was prominent.
When I walked into the living room, I saw a man in his fifties coming over, wearing glasses, looking quite gentle.
He and Bao Zheng seemed to have met each other for a long time. After a few greetings, Bao Zheng introduced Zhan Zhaohe Bai Yutang and said that they were the children of Qi Tian and Yunwen's family.
This person introduced himself, and Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang realized that his name was Lin Qianci, and he was Lin Ruo's father.
Zhan Zhao felt that the name was quite special, so he searched for the huge memory bank in his mind and found out that he was a very successful ship merchant, with a wealthy family. If he was right, his wife, Lin Ruo's mother, was the president of a certain university, and came from a famous family. Grandpa opened a hospital, and all the students were talents. His ancestors seemed to be a high-ranking official in the Qing Dynasty... It turned out to be a family.
Zhan Zhao had someone else's genealogy in his mind, while Bai Yutang looked at it from the outside and found that the security was quite tight and he attached great importance to it.
"Go and ask Chengsheng to follow." After Lin Qianci sat down, he ordered the butler.
Zhan Zhao glanced at Bai Yutang - Isn't it Lin Ruo? Where did Chengjie appear?
Bai Yutang's mouth moved slightly - it is estimated that in addition to names, there are also characters.
Zhan Zhao's eyebrows moved slightly - no...
Bai Yutang's expression relaxed - who knows.
"Cough cough." Bao Zheng coughed gently, preventing the two from looking at each other with expressionless eyes and actually "eyes and eyes"
"I haven't seen Yunwen and Qitian for a while." Lin Qianci reached out to peel oranges for Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, which seemed very friendly.
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang are a little uncomfortable, and they always feel that it is not like working or visiting elders, which is awkward...
At this moment, the butler ran down with sweat on his head, and went to Lin Qianci's ears to lower his voice and said a few words. Although he was very cautious, Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao's ears were even sharper. The butler said that the young master was gone.
"What?" Lin Qianci was nervous, "Where did you go?"
"I don't know. The security guard guarding the door said that he had never come out and the window was open, but the security guard downstairs didn't see him down."
Lin Qianci looked angry, "Didn't you tell him that the board will come today?"
"I said..."
"Go and look for it quickly, I don't believe that he wouldn't disturb so many security guards and run out by himself." Lin Qianci was so angry that he ordered someone to look for it quickly.
Bao Zheng looked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, and saw the two of them holding tea cups tacitly, drinking tea slowly, with uniform movements and expressionless faces.
The movement here obviously alarmed the rest of the family. At this time, a middle-aged woman walked down. She looked quite young, but she had outstanding temperament, dressed decently and elegantly, and was very noble.
"Master, what happened?"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang looked at each other tacitly - filming a period drama? And the master...
"It's okay, you go up first." Lin Qianci had a certain style as a grandparent.
"Is there something wrong with inheritance?"
Zhan Zhao touched his chin, and Bai Yutang also reached out and touched his ears gently...
Bao Zheng saw the little movements of the two people at the erections, which were a little strange.
"It's okay." Lin Qianci said to a female servant who was following the beauty, "Help your wife go upstairs."
Mrs. Lin finally went upstairs, and there was a mess at the door. The security guards were digging three feet to find Mr. Lin.
Zhan Zhao put down his cup and asked Bao Zheng, "Isn't Lin Ruo asking us to investigate the case?"
Bao Zheng also looked at Lin’s father in confusion.
Lin Qianci smiled awkwardly, "It's me, but he didn't resist when I told him. Why...?"
"Lin Ruo hasn't received any professional training," Bao Zheng looked outside the door, "He shouldn't be able to get out so many security guards. Could it be that he had arrived in another room?"
Lin Qianci also nodded, and celebrities looked for each room.
"Actually, these security guards can be removed." Bai Yutang put down the tea cup and took a polite sip of black tea. He found a scent of coriander. He didn't know whether he didn't know how to taste it or whether the tea had deteriorated. Sure enough, he still loved coffee and green tea.
Lin Qianci looked at Bai Yutang in confusion.
"Oh..." Bai Yutang said indifferently, "I think ordinary people can't deal with your son at all, and those who can deal with him can't stop these security guards. Instead, there are so many people."
Bao Zheng glared at Bai Yutang silently - polite! Courteous!
Bai Yutang had no choice but to pick up the cup and continue drinking the nasty black tea.
Lin's father was thinking, as if he was considering Bai Yutang's words.
Zhan Zhao seemed not interested in Lin Ruo's disappearance. From the beginning, his sight had been on a landscape painting on the opposite wall. This painting was about the sea and there was a boat on the sea. The picture was very simple, but generally speaking, the simpler the painting, the harder it was. The painting was handled quite well, both in composition, momentum, and details, which were magnificent and soft, which was very suitable for the interior decoration of the house, and had a kind of quaint nobleness. Zhan Zhao looked after it over and over again and confirmed that the painting was very new, and the technique should also be from the hands of contemporary painters. Zhan Zhao had a certain understanding of contemporary art and did not remember that he had such a heavyweight novice. Such an amazing talent should be very famous, right...
"This is the inheritance painting." Lin Qianci looked back and said in a low-key manner, but there was unconcealed pride in his tone and eyes.
"Yes." Zhan Zhao nodded in an unknown sense and issued a syllable that seemed to contain a lot of emotions.
Bai Yutang really thought the tea was hard to drink, so he put down the cup after the second sip. Seeing Lin Qianci’s face pale, he looked anxiously at the noisy security guard at the door and sighed softly.
Lin Qianci thought they were impatient and laughed awkwardly, "It's good to inherit everything, but he is too stubborn. I asked him to inherit the family business, he is not a professional chess player, painter, architect, scholar, businessman, he can choose so many professions, but he just sailed to dive. Now that he is in trouble, he doesn't take it seriously..."
"I have always wanted to ask, is inheritance his word?" Zhan Zhao finally couldn't help it.
"No." Lin Qianci's face turned even more ugly when he said this. "He was Lin Chengji, but he changed his name to Lin Ruo when he was eighteen years old."
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both nodded - So that's it.
"Master, I have found the yard, roof and mansion." The butler hurried in and whispered, "Not even..."
Lin Qianci looked really nervous at this time, "Send someone to his apartment to see, have you really ran out?"
Just as the housekeeper was about to leave, Bai Yutang reached out and gently waved at him.
The housekeeper looked at him,
Bai Yutang pointed not far away, Lin Qian gave a luxurious wine cabinet behind the sofa, "Your young master is in the cabinet."
Everyone was stunned and looked at the cabinet together.
The housekeeper opened his mouth, "How is it possible? I just opened this cabinet..."
Before he finished speaking, Lin Qianci reached out to stop him, looked at the cabinet with a deep face, "I won't come out yet!"
About five seconds later, the cabinet door clicked and then slowly opened.
A young man walked out with his hands in his pockets and smiled.
Lin Qianci's face turned a little darker again, "How old are you, childish!"
Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang only saw clearly the appearance of Lin Ruo... It turned out to be very noble, tall and symmetrical, and had a dignified appearance. He looked gentle, but he could see that his personality was quite cheerful.
He felt no embarrassment at this time. After coming out, he reached out and pointed Bai Yutang, "I am worthy of being Jintang's younger brother."
Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows at Bai Yutang - he called Jintang directly!
Bai Yutang nodded—he noticed.
Lin Ruo walked over and greeted Bao Zheng politely first, then walked to Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang to sit down, and said to the panting butler, "Brother, change Captain Bai's coffee, he doesn't like drinking black tea."
Bai Yutang raised his eyebrows.
Zhan Zhao glanced at Bai Yutang silently - this black tea is so expensive and tasteless.
The housekeeper quickly brought coffee and handed Lin Ruo a cup of unknown drink. Lin Ruo also acted coquettishly and said that it was not sweet enough and wanted to add sugar.
Zhan Zhao raised his eyebrows at Bai Yutang, and that's what he meant - if you see, you should be a young master, even if you are a young master, you can do it in a coquettish way. You see, he is a steward who is a father and has only the word "pet".
Bai Yutang is drinking coffee silently - isn't it the point yet?
"You can still laugh, why are you hiding in the cabinet?" Lin Qianci didn't quite understand when he entered the cabinet, nor how Bai Yutang discovered it. However, his impression of Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang came from their fathers, so he fully believed that these two children were not simple.
"He just made a bet with his elder brother to see if we can find him." Zhan Zhao asked Lin Ruo, "Is it?"
Lin Ruo smiled happily and nodded to Zhan Zhao, "Well, Jintang said you two can definitely help. I believe it, I also lost a bottle of good wine."
"Nothing!" Lin's father glared at him, and Lin Ruo immediately sat down and peeled oranges for his father.
Lin's father's face immediately calmed down.
Bao Zheng blinked at Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, that's the meaning - did you see, you want to coax the old man like this!
Bai Yutang's mouth twitched. It would be reasonable for him to coax him like this. If he treated his father like this, his father would think he had taken the wrong medicine.
Zhan Zhao saw that Lin Ruo seemed to be at ease in everything, and suddenly became unintentional and said, "That painting is very good."
Lin Ruo smiled, "Jintang said that you can see through people's hearts at a glance, so I will not offend you, otherwise I will bear the consequences."
Bao Zheng nodded silently, that's what the Bai family elder brother said was still reliable.
