secret case one

It is written in the almanac that today is a good day, suitable for offering sacrifices, praying for blessings, and asking friends;Sishi is an auspicious time.

Today's weather is fine, the sky is cloudless and the sun is shining.On both sides of the narrow and long path, withered flowers and grass branches are entangled, as if snuggling together to warm the leafless branches.Zhengyang hangs in the air, illuminating the corners of the alley, and the faded small advertising paper on the wall is also eye-catching.The snow on the ground melted, and the blue bricks that had been buried for a long time exposed the mottled mottled by the years.

The soles of the leather shoes stepped on the green bricks, making a clicking sound, and there were slow and continuous sounds in the narrow alley.

On this bright winter morning, Shen Zhongyuan's footsteps stopped before the vermilion gate.The gate was open, and if you looked around, you could see a small clean courtyard and a red-lacquered wooden door that was also open inside.

Shen Zhongyuan looked at the number on the gate again, and after confirming that it was here, he walked into the small courtyard.Having just walked through the gate, he went back and closed the open door.Then he took a look at the small courtyard, and was attracted by the potter's wheel in the corner.

There is an old loom next to the potter's wheel, which seems to be a few years old.Shen Zhongyuan has never seen anything good, but for some reason, seeing these two things, he couldn't move.

Luo Yisen suddenly appeared in the door, looked at the two things in the corner, and said, "It's fake. If it's real, grandpa wouldn't be willing to put it outside."

Hearing this, Shen Zhongyuan frowned, and didn't continue to care about the things in the corner.

Luo Yisen stepped aside and made a gesture of invitation.Shen Zhongyuan walked into the main house with a blank expression.

The style in the main house is anything but antique.Very ordinary furnishings, everywhere reveals the charm of home.Changed the slippers in the hallway, continued to walk in, and reached the living room, Shen Zhongyuan's eyes were attracted by a picture hanging on the wall.

Very beautiful regular script - riding the wind and breaking the waves.

Apart from this writing, things like furniture and electrical appliances are no longer conspicuous.There are books all around.There are books on the coffee table, books on the window sill, books on the sofa, and books piled on the wall.

Luo Yisen scratched his head embarrassingly, and said: "These are all ready to be disposed of. I have been busy all the time, so I didn't have time to organize them." Then, he moved the books on the sofa to make a seat, "Mr. Shen Would you like some tea, sir?"

"Black tea." Shen Zhongyuan didn't see him either.There was no emotion in his tone, and he sat firmly on the sofa.

Luo Yisen went to the kitchen to make tea, and came back with a tea tray, "My grandfather only has ancient black tea, so I'm neglecting it."

Although I made a lot of psychological preparations before coming here, I was still a little nervous when I actually faced Shen Zhongyuan.Sitting on the chair, the back is straight, the legs are close together, very well-behaved.The posture of picking up the teapot is in place, and it looks like it has been trained.

The spout of the small purple sand teapot pours out a fragrance that fills the room, and some hot air slowly emits from the teacup full of ancient charm, which is really beautiful.Shen Zhongyuan smelled the fragrance of tea and nodded slightly, "Good tea."

"My grandfather has a bad taste, and all he collects are good teas."

Picking up the teacup, smelling it again, he took a shallow sip.Shen Zhongyuan was obviously very satisfied with Luo Yisen's tea making skills, and there was a smile on his serious face.

With the help of Shen Zhongyuan drinking tea, Luo Yisen had time to look at the old man carefully.Although he is over 60, his body looks very healthy.Although the clothes are very ordinary, but the gestures of the hands will show the elegance and nobility.Luo Yisen thought: If you go back 20 years, this old man is more handsome than Shen Shao!

So: it is not without reason that people can find so many wives.In addition to being handsome and rich, he is also superior in mind and scheming, right?It would be useless to play tricks on such an old man.This battle is difficult.

Luo Yisen picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Shen Zhongyuan, and said, "I have something to ask you."

Shen Zhongyuan just nodded without raising his head or opening his eyes.

Luo Yisen said: "At the beginning, why did you let Shen Shao take over the position of chairman?"

"Appropriate." Shen Zhongyuan replied without hesitation.

Luo Yisen smiled, "You have so many children, I believe Shen Shao is not the only one who is outstanding."

What he said was very level, making Shen Zhongyuan take a deep look at Luo Yisen.Sui said: "The other children are very good. But they have many relationships. If they are relatives or friends, there are also many troubles. It is inevitable that there will be times when they have scruples about personal affairs. The seventh child is capable, it doesn't matter, it is the most suitable."

Hearing this, Luo Yisen suddenly smiled.Shen Zhongyuan still looked at him expressionlessly, as if asking: What are you laughing at?

Luo Yisen smiled embarrassedly: "I found that Shao Shen is very similar to you. Especially the way of speaking."

"The fourth child is not the same as the tenth child?"

Luo Yisen didn't expect Shen Zhongyuan to ask such a question, he was stunned, thought for a while, and then shook his head vigorously.This time, it was Shen Zhongyuan who laughed.

"Old Seven, you have the shortest time with me."

"But it resembles you the most." After saying that, the smile on Luo Yisen's face gradually faded, "Then, what did you think when you heard that Shen Shao was behind the Heminglou bombing?"

"possible."

"But?" Luo Yisen laughed again, "You only said that there is a 'possibility', but does that imply a 'but'?"

Shen Zhongyuan squinted his eyes to look at Luo Yisen, and Luo Yisen let him look at him neither humble nor overbearing.One old and one young, it seems that they are fighting in secret, and no one has the intention of giving in.

After a while, Shen Zhongyuan said slowly: "Lao Qi cares about you, your strengths, and your intelligence."

Fuck, can the way of speaking be more similar?

Luo Yisen secretly complained in his heart, maintaining a smile and respect on his face, and said: "I am a little smarter, so I avoided Shen Shao and asked you to meet."

Before Luo Yisen finished speaking, Shen Zhongyuan suddenly asked: "Why are you looking for me?"

"Didn't I just say that, I want to ask you some questions."

Obviously, Shen Zhongyuan was not satisfied with this answer.He put down his teacup, frowned slightly and looked at Luo Yisen, "Why are you looking for me?"

What do you mean?

When Luo Yisen was stunned, he thought: This is too similar.Shen Shao likes to ask repeatedly when the other party answers incorrectly.People with a slightly weaker mental quality will definitely not be able to handle it.

But where did I answer wrong?He just came to find out the reasons for some things, and he had no other ideas.

Seeing Luo Yisen blankly and silently, Shen Zhongyuan sighed disappointedly: "Are you for the first subject, or for the seventh child."

Does it make a difference?Luo Yisen thought for a while and replied, "These two things are inseparable."

"It can be separated." Shen Zhongyuan's tone became serious, "For a subject, will you hide it from Lao Qi?"

Luo Yisen wanted to defend himself, but he had nothing to say.What Shen Zhongyuan said was right, just for investigating the case, he had no reason to hide it from Shen Shao.At that time, I made up my mind to see Shen Zhongyuan alone, and I thought in my mind: Shen Shao can't be told, at least after finding out how much Shen Zhongyuan participated in, I can tell him.

Shen Shao was thinking about the cause and effect.

Now, Shen Zhongyuan asked him, asking him to give a pure answer: Is it for the case of Yike or for Shen Shao.Luo Yisen didn't want to say it - at that time, I was only thinking about Shen Shao.

But it's true.Even if Luo Yisen could fool Shen Zhongyuan, he couldn't fool himself.

In the first round, I lost badly.

Although defeated, Luo Yisen was not discouraged!Riding a horse and crossing the ocean knife, ready for the second round of Meng Chong!The two long legs were brought together irregularly, and they were spread out on both sides, stepping on the edge of the stool with one foot, and drinking the teacup with the other hand.

Come, who is afraid of whom!

"Let me tell you this." Luo Yisen calmed down, and his attitude was not as rigid as before.It's like chatting with a buddy, "I guess you also know the bad things about us. He lied to me, and he knew it was wrong afterwards. I like him very much, just because of that little conspiracy that didn't work, I really don't want to put He struck out with three strikes. I came to you behind his back, worried that your family had a secret, which would make him fall deeper and deeper. At that time, I would have nowhere to pull him hard."

After speaking, Shen Zhongyuan didn't change his expression, let alone express his opinion.Just said superficially: "He is my son."

Luo Yisen said in his heart: Isn't this nonsense?It's not your baby, what am I looking for you for?But I can't say this, because it's not respectful enough.But his mouth did not spare Shen Zhongyuan lightly, and said straight: "Shen Hao is also your son."

"I knew it 35 years ago."

The old man spoke harshly, but Luo Yisen couldn't laugh or cry.It's been less than 10 minutes since we started talking, right?Why the more you look at it, the more similar Shen Shao and Shen Zhongyuan are?The way of speaking is similar, the way of thinking is similar, and even some words and expressions are similar!

Since it looks so powerful, it's easy to handle!Luo Yisen said bluntly: "The relationship between the fourth child and Shen Shao is very serious. If we want to find out the root cause, I have to talk to you once."

The results of it?Shen Zhongyuan's eyes lit up, "Say!"

"Do you know that Shen Jian is not dead?"

Hearing this, Shen Zhongyuan suddenly widened his eyes, even the wrinkles around the eyes were evened out.Seeing his reaction like this, Luo Yisen couldn't help being suspicious.No matter how you look at it, Shen Zhongyuan doesn't seem to know that Shen Jian is not dead.Could it be that I thought wrong?

Shen Zhongyuan's shocked expression was only for a moment, and the old man quickly returned to normal.Slowly picked up the teacup and sipped it one bite at a time.It wasn't until the cup of tea had bottomed out that he asked Luo Yisen, "Are you sure?"

Trouble, we have to start from the beginning.

The so-called "starting from the beginning" starts from Shen Hao's line.How Shen Hao wins over Xiao Liukun, how he engages in weird activities in the Honghu Club, etc.Of course, Luo Yisen told Shen Zhongyuan that Shen Hao encouraged Shen Sa to invest in Q City, but the intention was not known yet.

Things in City Q are very complicated.At first they all thought that Shi Yanqiu was used by Shen Hao, but later they realized that the person who used Shi Yanqiu was Shen Jian.Moreover, Luo Yisen had met Shen Jian, even though it was across the road, he was sure that person must be Shen Jian.

After talking about City Q, let's talk about this city.How Shen Hao collaborated with Xiao Liukun to kill Long Xiao, and how Luo Yisen and others used Xiao Liukun to capture Shen Hao.In the end, Shen Hao confessed that Shen Jian had been alive.

Speaking dryly, Luo Yisen made the last sentence, "Your fourth brother said it himself, there can be no falsehood."

Shen Zhongyuan had been silently listening to Luo Yisen talking about these situations since half an hour ago, during which time he remained motionless and did not blink his eyelids.Luo Yisen is a little scared, don't faint the old man.

There are too many things in the old man's eyes, and Luo Yisen still can't understand them.But he can more or less understand Shen Zhongyuan's mood at the moment.

Shen Zhongyuan let out a long breath, and asked in a deep voice: "Is there any more?"

Of course, where is this?

Luo Yisen went on to say: "Shen Jian laid out a huge net, which cannot be done overnight. According to our investigation, he planned a series of events at least between 2010 and 2011. He just Under your nose, you wouldn't notice it at all? Then, the Heming Building exploded, and you hired a private detective to investigate Shen Shao for two months. Where did you get the news?"

The last sentence brought Shen Zhongyuan's gaze back to Luo Yisen's face.He asked: "So, you think I know the boss is not dead?"

Luo Yisen nodded, and simply told the truth: "I assumed for a while. You knew about Shen Jian's actions, but you didn't stop or remind Shen Shao. Does that mean: You and Shen Jian are allies? "

Shen Zhongyuan asked in a little surprise: "Are you sure? You're being reckless, aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

Luo Yisen laughed and said, "Although you have much more experience than I do, I can still see that you are lying. If you are an accomplice of Shen Jian, I will change my explanation."

"What if I am?" Shen Zhongyuan seemed very interested in this topic, "How do you face Lao Qi?"

Yo ha!Is this an official move?

Luo Yisen grinned unkindly, "Old man, let me say something you don't like to hear. Even if you and Shen Jian are really accomplices, even if I arrest you. Shen Shao will never hate me or blame me. The two of us should What's the matter, what's the matter. It's not that Shen Shao has no family affection, he's an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf. It's that he knows it clearly in his heart. Even if he is his own father, he will have to pay the price for doing something that angers people. I won't arrest you, Others will catch you too."

Hearing this, Shen Zhongyuan actually smiled and said: "You really know Lao Qi." Luo Yisen said with a very simple look, "So, old man, don't be fooled around. Just say what you have."

Shen Zhongyuan seemed a little happy, he seemed to have fully accepted the fact that Shen Jian was still alive, and didn't care about it.With a little smile, he said to Luo Yisen: "Originally, I want you to choose. If you want the truth, you still want Lao Qi."

Emma, ​​that's bloody.Luo Yisen thought to himself.

"You are very kind to me." Shen Zhongyuan was also very frank, "In the past, I was the only one who could control Lao Qi."

What this means is: now there is one more?Luo Yisen scratched his forehead awkwardly, not wanting to respond to this topic.

After talking about the topic of wanting the seventh child, the scene seemed to be cold.

Shen Zhongyuan shook his head, as if he was moving his cervical spine.Luo Yisen waited for him to finish shaking, waiting for him to speak.For Shen Zhongyuan, Luo Yisen knew that he had to be patient enough. A wrong word or a wrong move would lead to another result that no one wanted to see.

Luo Yisen was cautious, but Shen Zhongyuan never showed an attitude of caring too much about this matter.The shaking head stopped slowly, and instead of looking at Luo Yisen, he lowered his eyes and let out a short sigh, then said: "The boss is almost forty, what do I care about him? If he does good or bad, he is responsible for himself. What you said , I didn’t know in advance. When the Minglou exploded, there would always be guns aimed at Lao Qi. Is it someone else’s turn to investigate? A few small media, deserve my voice? Whoever criticizes will solve it. Do you understand?”

Luo Yisen nodded, he couldn't understand more.He said, "Actually, you care about Shen Shao very much."

Shen Zhongyuan frowned slightly, but said nothing.

Luo Yisen added: "That is to say: you used the method of herding sheep and grazing on Shen Jian and other children, and you didn't know what Shen Jian did in advance. Then what happened later? You hired a private detective, that private detective The detective also told you that the bombing has nothing to do with Shen Shao. Now, you also know that Shen Jian is still alive. You have nothing to say?"

Shen Zhongyuan's psychological quality is obviously stronger than that of Shen Shao, and Luo Yisen's questioning openly and secretly did not shake him in the slightest.Luo Yisen was not in a hurry, and waited quietly.

About three to five minutes later, Shen Zhongyuan took out a photo from his arms and put it on the table.Luo Yisen picked it up and looked at it, and was a little dazed immediately.

The photo has been somewhat yellowed, and it shows four men and two women.It doesn't look very old, that is, in his early twenties.At this time, Shen Zhongyuan stretched out his hand, pointed to the first man on the left, and said, "I am a sophomore."

"Your college photos?" Luo Yisen asked.

Shen Zhongyuan nodded, and pointed to the second person, "Wang Xiyun, Lu Tanfeng, Zhou Meixin, Du Fan..." Finally, his finger landed on the first man on the right, "Teacher, Shi Fang."

Luo Yisen raised his head subconsciously and stared at Shen Zhongyuan.

Shen Zhongyuan's eyes softened a bit, as if recalling the long past, he said in a deep voice, "Graduated, and went their separate ways. The teacher changed his name, 'Luo Shi'."

The last half sentence was like a sledgehammer hitting Luo Yisen's heart!He subconsciously picked up the photo and looked at it carefully.The teacher "Shi Fang" that Shen Zhongyuan said does look a bit like a grandfather.However, this is too young!

Without waiting for Luo Yisen to ask questions, Shen Zhongyuan said to himself: "Even before he died, he didn't look like someone who was almost eighty."

"I don't understand." Luo Yisen was confused, "You and my grandfather have known each other for a long time... No, I don't want to say that. My grandfather changed his name after you graduated, right? How did you know that? ?” After finishing speaking, he felt wrong again, “It’s messed up. Well, why did my grandpa use a fake name to become a teacher at school?”

Shen Zhongyuan could see that Luo Yisen lost his composure because of this incident.

"Your grandfather has influenced me a lot." When Shen Zhongyuan said this, his eyes gradually drifted away.

Back then, Luo Shi bore the name "Shi Fang" and was a very inconspicuous teacher on the university campus.Whenever someone mentions him, others have to think about it before they know which one they are talking about.For Shen Zhongyuan, after attending Teacher Shi Fang's class for a year, he still doesn't remember his full name.

At that time, Shen Zhongyuan was already in business.In those days, it was the boldest ones, and whoever did business could make the first pot of gold.Shen Zhongyuan earns money while attending classes, and lives comfortably.But the fact that he used his spare time to do business was still known by the school.Forty years ago, what was the concept of a college student doing business?Anyway, the school thinks this is something that must be dealt with seriously.Shen Zhongyuan was ordered to suspend school and await processing.

Shen Zhongyuan is stubborn when he has a small temper, but his ideas are right.He has made plans at home, at worst, he will not go to college, but the business must continue.Having made up his mind, Shen Zhongyuan wrote the application for withdrawal first without waiting for the school to give advice on how to deal with it.

In today's words, it is: I won't play with you anymore.

Just when he was about to submit his application for dropping out of school, Shi Fang suddenly visited his home.Shen Zhongyuan didn't even know his name, and he didn't know why this teacher, who was almost invisible on weekdays, came here.

The memory goes back to the summer of that year.The room was stuffy, and the electric fan was blowing, which couldn't dissipate the stuffy temperature.There was a knock on the door, and Shen Zhongyuan glanced at the door coldly, not intending to pay attention.Suddenly I heard a man's smiling voice outside, saying: "Student Shen Zhongyuan, I know you are at home. Open the door, I brought you popsicles. Creamy ones."

Shen Zhongyuan thought: It just so happens that someone from the school is here and can help bring back the application for withdrawal.So he came out of the house and opened the door.

Seeing that it was his teacher, Shen Zhongyuan didn't have a good attitude, he was still cold.Shi Fang lifted the plastic bag in his hand and said, "I bought it at the small shop in front of the school. It's delicious."

Shen Zhongyuan glanced at the bag, and said coldly: "It's all melted."

Shi Fang smiled and said, "The taste won't change."

This glance is always vivid in memory.

The thin man stands against the light.A few strands of black hair were wet with sweat and stuck to his forehead.Probably because of the hot weather, her fair face was flushed red, her brows and eyes were crooked in a smile, and her pretty mouth was raised, revealing a little whiteness of her teeth.The black and white eyes are full of smiles, as if the smile reaches the heart.Holding a bag of cream popsicles that had melted into water in his slender and bony hands, he told him with a smile: the taste will not change.

The smile at that moment left a deep imprint on Shen Zhongyuan's heart.
