Zhen Yuhuan first took Li Guolou to Leng Xiaotian's mansion. The door and window of the study room were sealed. When Li Guolou walked in, he felt a cold wind coming. The air-conditioning went straight to his forehead. The study room was decorated in a simple and elegant style. It was not very big. It was about thirty years old. Square meters. Although the body was moved away, the appearance of the deceased when he died was drawn with chalk on the ground.
Huang, the wife of the deceased Leng Xiaotian, stood aside in fear, not daring to look at Zhen Yuhuan. Li Guolou said to the housekeeper: "Manager Huang, please stay. Let Mrs. Huang rest. I have something to do. I will come to the living room and ask Mrs. Huang."
"Then thank you so much, Capt. Li." Manager Huang didn't dare to say another word. He stayed aside and didn't dare to move.
Li Guolou stood beside the tall bookcase, flipping through ancient books. Time passed slowly. After looking at the display of books, Li Guolou looked at the teapot on the desk. He was a little confused. Why was there no teacup?
"Manager Huang, where's the teacup?"
"Oh. Leng Xiaotian drank from the tea cup. I have done a toxicity test. There is no problem." Zhen Yuhuan sat on the Taishi chair. He watched Li Guolou's every move. He sat there for more than an hour. He felt a little annoyed. He couldn't handle it. Understand what Li Guolou is doing.
"What about the residue in the tea cup?" Li Guolou couldn't help but ask.
"Throw it away a long time ago." Zhen Yuhuan said carelessly.
Li Guolou glared at Zhen Yuhuan and said, "How can you throw it away? Some poisons are one-time use. They are also time-sensitive. If you don't understand, don't throw them away."
"Oh..." Zhen Yuhuan did not dare to get angry at Li Guolou. She bowed her head helplessly and admitted her mistake.
Li Guolou paced around the study room, looking at every piece of furniture and antique furnishings, admiring the calligraphy and paintings.
Li Guolou finally stood still. He stood in a daze in front of a painting. The five-foot-long scroll "Ode to Peonies" was hung on the wall. There were flowers and grass on it. It was a painting of flowers and birds. Three peonies competed for the beauty. .A red flower.A white flower.A black flower.
The red flower represents the red-whiskered girl. It stands out in the middle. The petite and cute flower is the smallest flower. The white flower represents Li Jing. The frost is noble. The circle on the left is larger than the red flower. The black flower represents the bearded man. Standing resolutely is the largest flower. The Three Heroes of Feng Chen chanted objects to describe people. The meaning is exactly the unclear relationship between Leng Xiaotian and Zhen Yuhuan. The owner Leng Xiaotian hung this painting in a conspicuous place. It seems that he likes it very much.
The painting was a new work. Li Guolou looked at the year number carefully. The author's seal was incomprehensible. The traditional Chinese characters were sloppy.
Li Guolou asked: "Manager Huang, when was this painting hung up?"
"Hmm...I don't know. But it won't be more than a month. This painting wasn't hung here in the past." Manager Huang scratched his head and thought for a long time to squeeze out these words. He must be responsible for his words and deeds. Otherwise, there will be endless troubles.
"Mike, what do you mean by this?" Zhen Yuhuan couldn't sit still. He came over and took Li Guolou's arm to act coquettishly. He was annoyed by Li Guolou's preference for the "Three Heroes".
"Anita, look carefully at the difference in this painting." Li Guolou smiled and pointed at "Ode to the Peony". He saw a strange place.
Zhen Yuhuan moved closer to "Ode to the Peony" to see what was different in the painting. She wanted to touch the painting with one hand.
"Don't touch it," Li Guolou said urgently.
"Mike, I don't see any difference." Zhen Yuhuan was very close to the scroll and could not see any flaws.
"Forget it." Li Guolou moved a chair, stood on the chair, took down the scroll, rolled up "Ode to the Peony" and said with a smile, "Come on, Anita. Let's go see the bearded guest."
"Bad guy." Zhen Yuhuan pinched Li Guolou viciously regardless of the person next to him.
Li Guolou didn't mind the eyes of others. He took Zhen Yuhuan's hand and walked outside. The expression on his face was strange. He seemed to be smiling or mocking the people next to him.
Zhen Yuhuan did not expect that Li Guolou was so courageous. He tried to break free from Li Guolou's hand but failed. He scolded: "Mike, in public, don't mess around."
"Anita. Since you are not married and will not cuckold anyone, let others talk about me staying with you. Prince Gong will know sooner or later." Li Guolou walked away with the painting tucked under his arm. Down.
"But this is the capital, not the French Concession." Zhen Yuhuan broke free from Li Guolou's hand and stared at Li Guolou angrily with her lips raised.
"Oh... Anita, I want to tell the people here that you are with me now. Even if I beat you to death on the street, I won't hold your hand." Zhen Yuhuan glanced at Li Guolou next to him. I have an idea in my heart. Someone will be harmful to Zhen Yuhuan. I will first find the people close to Zhen Yuhuan. Where is this person? He will find the murderer.
Zhen Yuhuan felt a little relieved. She approached Li Guolou and said, "I have never seen anyone like you. I don't even say hello."
"Hong Fu Girl, you are very popular. I was still missing you before I died. Why don't you go and offer three sticks of incense to the deceased." Li Guolou despised Zhen Yuhuan's behavior in his heart. Only ruthless people can do this. Xi Shi.
"You're dead. I'll do it for you." Zhen Yuhuan just wanted to leave the depressed place as soon as possible. She didn't care about other people's feelings.
The two of them hurriedly left Leng Xiaotian's mansion, got on a carriage and headed to the home of the other deceased, You Gaoming.
"Mike, what did you find?" Zhen Yuhuan asked as soon as she got on the carriage. She couldn't hold it any longer.
"Anita Zhen. Don't you know that detectives like to tell lies?" Li Guolou refused to reveal it. He asked Zhen Yuhuan to come closer to the screen and look at it. He still couldn't tell. How could such a disciple become the leader of the Qingping Society? Li The palace is mourning for Prince Gong. The people who use it are blind.
"Mike." Zhen Yuhuan threw herself into Li Guolou's arms. Women rely on their beauty to get information. Zhen Yuhuan was very good at doing this.
Li Guolou finally broke free and said: "Anita, let me make it clear to you. I want to go home tonight."
"Huh. I got it. I'm coming to see you on Friday. I won't go back then. You go and talk to Xie Xiuzhu yourself." Zhen Yuhuan pushed further and posed a big problem for Li Guolou.
"Ah." Li Guolou glared at Zhen Yuhuan and said anxiously: "Anita, you won't marry me either. Why do you want to live with me? The impact is too bad. Let me come to see you. You have something I don’t know. The chief refused to promote me. One of the biggest crimes was that I was hanging out with foreign girls and widows. This time I made a great contribution, so he gave me the hat of a ninth-grade official. He said it was a great favor. .Everyone knows who the person behind you is. Why do you want me to hang out in officialdom in the future?"
Li Guolou wished he had to know Zhen Yuhuan. This troublesome woman was entangled with him. In the future, people would laugh at Prince Gong behind his back. Then where would he be? No superior would promote him.
"Hey, Mike, you don't know something. The seat I sit in is not tenure-track. It also has a seven-year term. My term is about to expire. From now on, I can only retire to the second line to provide for retirement. I don't even have the qualifications to do business. Embezzlement of public funds. It can't be done. You can say I'm pitiful." Zhen Yuhuan still hugged Li Guolou and refused to let go. This was her life-saving straw.
"Prince Gong refuses to accept you."
"Hey... I'm a conspirator with a good reputation. How could he want someone like me? It was agreed at the beginning. It's just for fun." Zhen Yuhuan looked gloomy, thinking of the past.
"What about your other lovers?" Li Guolou didn't believe that Zhen Yuhuan only had two dead lovers. This woman must have countless lovers around her. That's why Prince Gong would not want her.
"Hmm..." Zhen Yuhuan didn't know how to answer for a moment. When she met a detective, she had to tell a lie in a decent way.
"I'm not as lovable as you. Mike, just agree. At worst, I'll ask Prince Gong for you to get you a seventh-grade official hat." Zhen Yuhuan actually used the official hat to seduce Li Guolou. Let Li Guolou Very excited.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Guolou shook his head and said: "It's not good for Zhen Yuhuan. At worst, I won't be promoted. But you can do one thing for me. I believe you have the ability to complete it."
"Hi." Zhen Yuhuan said without hesitation. Things have their uses and people have their specialties. She is the best public relations manager.
Li Guolou hugged Zhen Yuhuan and said: "Have you heard of the Chaoyang Project? Bao Yitong vigorously proposed to the court a plan to develop shops on the east side of the British Legation. I also participated in this plan. Now it is gossiped by some villains in the court Put it on hold. You can find a way to persuade Prince Gong to start this plan. With sixty years of business experience, we can have our grandchildren. Do you understand?"
"Is he our grandson?" Zhen Yuhuan, who had never thought about having a child, was already thinking about what would happen sixty years later. The expression on her face told Li Guolou what she was thinking.
Li Guolou is tired of being tired. But this woman is both Xi Shi and Diao Chan. The older she gets, the older she gets. The romantic figure will be settled in this life.
"Yes. Your grandson and I will enjoy the meal even if the grandsons can't get enough of it." Li Guolou nodded and gave Zhen Yuhuan a guarantee that he was willing to marry her as long as the Chaoyang Plan passed through the court.
"Yes. I know the plan. Tell me the trick on Friday night. I don't believe that pie will fall in the world." Zhen Yuhuan looked at her fingers proudly. No man has ever been able to escape her clutches.
Li Guolou glanced at Zhen Yuhuan next to him. He was wondering why he was not the Tongzhi Emperor. If he were the Tongzhi Emperor, even if I was the Empress Dowager Cixi, he would still be able to kill me. Women, enemies, friends, bosses. No one. He is his rival. Unfortunately, he was born into the wrong family. He can only hang out at the bottom and rely on conspiracy to make money.
The superiors were manipulated by him. Brothers listened to his words. Women were manipulated by him. Criminals were caught by him from the darkness. What regrets does he have? The only regret is that the official hat is too small. Everything is good in the Qing Empire .It is necessary to promote a person based on his moral character. His life style was described as a complete mess by the French newspaper Pravda. His moral shortcomings left Li Guolou helpless and sighing. His official career will not be smooth in his life. He can only make great achievements in the official position. Upgraded to a level. I really regret it.
