Chapter 01 The bell of the end(1/2)
The Zhangjia Manor with blue bricks and black tiles reveals mystery in its simplicity.
Today is the Chinese Valentine's Day. In the manor, it is the daughter of Zhang's richest man in LA City and the engagement dinner with Li Dashao of the Li family consortium.
At the same time, a young man in black looked cold and walked towards the manor, and soon passed by the guards.
The bodyguard ignored him. I was the gatekeeper, and no one could get along with the gate.
The young man in black really didn't get along with the front door, and he didn't even leave the main door, so he simply walked through the wall.
The doorman bodyguard, "Ahem, I can't see the young man in black."
The young man in black, "Well, then I can't see the wall."
In the main hall of the manor, Zhang's richest man is very happy that his daughter can marry the son of his business rival. From now on, yours is mine, and I am still mine!
After the meal, the father-in-law and son-in-law started chatting.
The richest man Zhang revealed in his words that he was about to be elected chairman of the Chamber of Commerce.
Just as the two of them blew up their cowhides and were about to blow hot air balloons, the maid brought in a young man in black who claimed to be Officer Song.
This Officer Song is the young man who has just entered the wall.
Officer Song told the confused rich man Zhang with a blank expression, "I am a newly transferred police officer and are investigating a death case.
"As early as three hours ago, a young woman died on the operating table of the First Hospital due to suicide and failed to rescue her. Based on the content of her diary during her lifetime, I came here to investigate and collect evidence."
Subsequently, Officer Song showed Zhang's photos of the deceased before his death.
When he handed out the photo, he seemed to accidentally scan a quaint mural on the wall. It was a gray-haired young mixed-race woman with her hands like the tentacles of an octopus, and I don’t know what it means.
When Zhang's richest man saw the photo, his face looked ugly. When he recalled, the woman's name was Xiaoxia. She worked in his factory more than two years ago.
At that time, due to the financial crisis, the salaries of workers in the factory were lowered, so Xiao Xia led the workers to strike and demanded a raise of their salaries.
When Zhang's richest man learned about it, he paid all the workers more wages, but he only fired Xiaoxia.
Zhang's richest man defended himself: "After the incident, I had privately asked Xiaoxia, promised to give her the most ideal salary, and promoted her to the workshop director, as long as she could get everyone back to the workshop to resume work.
"But Xiaoxia refused. What I proposed was only favorable to her, and insisted that everyone raise their salary together, which I could not agree to."
As the negotiations between Zhang's richest man and Xiao Xia collapsed, the strike incident was stalemate.
However, Zhang's richest man was very persistent. In the end, after the workers persisted for a while, under the tremendous pressure of life, they had to choose to surrender and return to the workshop to work obediently.
The richest man Zhang said naturally: "At this point, I certainly cannot tolerate it. Xiao Xia, who was leading the strike, gave her a letter of dismissal."
In this regard, the prospective son-in-law Li Dashou firmly stood on the side of the richest man Zhang, believing that the richest man Zhang did a good job, because at this moment, he is also managing his own industry and fully understands the richest man Zhang’s choice.
Officer Song did not make any comments, but asked the richest man Zhang to sign the testimony.
At this time, Miss Zhang walked in and asked everyone to go out for tea. She was very reserved and personally made a cup of tea for Officer Song, then turned around and left.
Officer Song stopped her, "Ms. Zhang, please wait."
This case seems to be closely related to Ms. Zhang.
Then Officer Song began to talk about the contents below the diary.
After being fired, Xiaoxia found a second job after more than two months of running around, which was a high-end women's clothing brand store, and she applied for a salesperson.
However, the good times did not last long, and Xiaoxia soon received a letter of dismissal because the store received a complaint from senior customers to Xiaoxia.
When Mr. Li and Mr. Zhang heard this, their expressions immediately became gloating.
But when Miss Zhang heard this, her face suddenly became nervous.
After seeing Xiaoxia's photos, Ms. Zhang fell into memories.
On this day, Ms. Zhang and her mother came again, and they often visited the high-end women's clothing store.
Miss Zhang took a fancy to a fashionable purple jacket. Mrs. Zhang believed that her complexion and temperament were not suitable for wearing this dress.
So she called the female clerk. It happened that Xiaoxia, who had just started working, asked Xiaoxia to stand beside her as a foil, and Mrs. Zhang gestured to Ms. Zhang.
But Xiaoxia looked very beautiful under the reflection of this dress, and in Mrs. Zhang's eyes, she also had such a look, which made Miss Zhang feel jealous.
She found a reason to complain to Xiaoxia, took out the noble gold membership card, and said to the lobby manager: "If you don't fire Xiaoxia, then I will cancel this gold card and never visit your store."
Xiaoxia was fired again.
Miss Zhang has a very positive outlook on her, "I admit that I am not as beautiful as Xiao Xia, and I did take my anger out of Xiao Xia afterwards."
But then she looked at Officer Song and repeatedly emphasized with sobs, "Official Song, you want to believe me, I really have no intention of hurting Xiao Xia."
Officer Song still did not make any comments on this, but asked Ms. Zhang to sign and continue to talk about the contents below the diary.
The two consecutive unemployment made Xiaoxia's life difficult. After more than three months of running around and unable to find a new job, she had to consider surviving through other channels.
After a period of ideological struggle, Xiao Xia finally got her pseudonym Tingting.
When he heard this name, Mr. Li was quite shocked. Obviously, he must have known this Xiao Xia, whose pseudonym was Tingting.
After seeing the photos taken out by Officer Song, Master Li slowly stood up from his seat in pain, suddenly poured a large glass of high-end red wine, plucked up the courage to confess to Officer Song.
Due to business social engagements, Mr. Li often visits a high-end nightclub club.
One day, he saw the girl who had just come here to work but never made it in his heart and wanted to prepare for that kind of transaction, which was Xiao Xia, who was pseudonym Tingting.
After learning about the girl's experience, he took the initiative to help the girl and lent a well-decorated house that his friend had idle to Xiao Xia, who was named Tingting.
Then the two of them had more time to contact. With Mr. Li's deliberate actions, Xiaoxia finally became his lover. Naturally, the two of them had a happy life.
During this period of time, Mr. Li was still in love with Miss Zhang.
When Ms. Zhang heard this, she became discouraged and cold.
Even the richest man Zhang was not mentally prepared for this and didn't know what to do.
Mr. Li looked at Miss Zhang with clear eyes and said emotionally, "My relationship with Tingting has indeed exceeded the scope of transactions, but I really love you!
"And a few months later, I completely cut off my relationship with Tingting. Can you forgive me for being confused for a while?"
Miss Zhang, who has a very positive outlook on her, could not accept this fact. She took off her engagement ring in pain and returned it to Mr. Li, which was considered a breakup in the relationship.
This result is what the richest man Zhang is most reluctant to face. You must know that he is still thinking about... yours is mine!
Young Master Li was very frustrated and signed his name in the transcript.
The story did not end. Officer Song continued the contents below the diary, took out a photo and handed it to Mrs. Zhang.
Mrs. Zhang glanced at her eyes and shook her head with righteousness, saying that she didn't know the person in the photo.
But Officer Song did not give up, but pressed him step by step.
Mrs. Zhang is not an ordinary rich wife, and she has another identity, that is, the senior executive of the nanny hall. Not long ago, she refused, and Xiaoxia, whose name was Zhang's wife, asked for help.
Mrs. Zhang could not resist Officer Song's constant inquiries and finally revealed the truth.
Not long ago, a young and beautiful woman went to the baby hall for help and claimed to be Zhang's wife and said she was three months pregnant.
Because she is unable to raise the child, the child's father cannot raise it for the time being, and she does not want to destroy the man's family happiness, let alone the man's name, so she wants to wait for the child to be sent to the nanny for raising him after he is born.
When Master Li heard this, the woman was three months pregnant, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wife Zhang? Is she trying to get the mistress? Mrs. Zhang is very suspicious that this woman is a fox and has something to do with her husband because she once saw a photo of the woman and a letter of dismissal in Zhang's study.
What's more important is that the woman kept saying that she was Zhang's wife and said that she didn't want to destroy the man's family happiness. Isn't that just a hint that the man is her husband Zhang's richest man?
Therefore, Mrs. Zhang ruthlessly refused Xiao Xia's request, who was named Zhang's wife.
Mrs. Zhang was very excited, "I admit that I did reject Xiaoxia at that time, but Xiaoxia's death was brought to light by herself and had nothing to do with me. If you want to say that the real culprit should be that irresponsible man."
After Mrs. Zhang signed the record, Officer Song took the photo to Zhang Shao, the son of Zhang, the richest man.
Young Master Zhang had already looked wrong, and at this time he burst into tears in pain, and finally confessed to Officer Song.
A few months ago, he secretly ran to the club where Xiao Xia was. When he saw Xiao Xia, who was named Tingting, he fell in love with her frantically.
So under his half-suppression and forced, he rudely occupied Xiao Xia's body.
But he really loves Xiaoxia and wants to marry Xiaoxia.
However, Xiaoxia did not agree because she knew that Mr. Zhang's family would not agree to the marriage.
Afterwards, Zhang Shao stole a lot of cash from his home to Xiaoxia, but Xiaoxia did not accept the stolen money.
Xiao Xia rejected Zhang Shao, but had no source of income and could not support himself and his children. After that, he went to the nanny hall for help and said that he was Zhang's wife, which was reasonable.
And connecting all the previous clues one by one, the reason for Xiao Xia's suicide was self-evident, and the whole family in front of him could not be separated from it.
In pain, Mr. Zhang signed his name on the transcript.
Mrs. Zhang couldn't believe that her unborn grandson was strangled by herself?
Everyone present felt guilty.
The richest man Zhang wanted to use huge amounts of cash to bribe Officer Song for his family, hoping to settle it privately, and also hoped that Officer Song could keep this secret for them, but was ruthlessly rejected by Officer Song.
Before leaving, Officer Song severely rebuked the family, "You are all inhuman vampires and will definitely be punished in the future."
After Officer Song left, the richest man called the police station immediately, hoping to start from the police station and perfectly solve the problem.
Because every time Officer Song takes out a photo, he only shows it to one person, and the richest man Zhang suspects that it may not be the same photo, or even the same person.
