Chapter 373 [Good people are hard to do] (Part 2)
Bai Yunfei said: "You have seen the world. If you don't say anything else, just under the Old Summer Palace, you will be no worse than the Kowloon Cup. But you are a person who values love and friendship. If you see your friends in trouble, you will definitely help at all costs."
Luo Lie laughed. Bai Yunfei's words were right. Although the things in the underground palace of the Old Summer Palace were precious, the Jade Nine Dragon Cup could be considered a treasure. However, Bai Yunfei's second half of the sentence was not wrong.
Bai Yunfei said: "I heard that Inspector Liu went to search your residence overnight last night."
Luo Liedao: "The suspicion has been ruled out in a routine investigation."
Bai Yunfei lowered his voice and said, "I'm going to tell you, I think it was you who did it."
Luo Lie said: "I can only clear myself."
Bai Yunfei said: "To accomplish something depends on motivation and ability. Among the people I know, in the current French Concession, you are the only one who owns two things at the same time."
Luo Lie smiled and said, "Fortunately, you are not Inspector General Hua."
Bai Yunfei laughed out loud. He finally couldn't help but take out the cigarette box again, lit a cigarette, and smoked a cigarette, saying, "Even if the evidence is destroyed, Zhou Xiaodie temporarily avoided the accusation, but the situation of the couple is not optimistic. Now many forces are targeting them. I have arranged a lot of people around the hospital in case of emergency."
Luo Lie said: "At present, it's just a rumor, what is the Jade Nine Dragon Cup, what is the Dongshan Sutra, who has seen it again? It's said that the blind grandmother is Chen Jiumei. Now that everyone is dead, what proof will be obtained?"
Bai Yunfei said: "Chen Jiumei is the number one master of the thief. After stealing these two treasures, she flew away and disappeared from now on. The Qing court then counted the accounts on the thief's head. In the past few decades, the thief's thief has been continuously suppressed and the talents have withered. It was not until the Qing Dynasty that it stopped suppressing the thief's thief's thief's thief's thief slowly recovered some vitality. The thief's thief's thief's thief's thief's thief was hated to the core."
Luo Lie nodded and said, "I have heard of this."
Bai Yunfei said: "Even if there are no these two treasures, if the thief knows that Chen Jiumei has another grandson in the world, he will definitely be killed."
Luo Lie of course knew the current situation of the blind man. The reason why Chen Jiumei left behind the Emerald Nine Dragon Cup and the Dongshan Sutra now seems to be a guarantee for future generations. The blind man has not recovered his memory now, so he should not remember where the Emerald Nine Dragon Cup and the Dongshan Sutra are hidden, but once he recovers his memory, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Luo Lie said: "Have you ever thought that these two things have actually been stolen by someone, otherwise why did such a rumor be released afterwards and all the conflicts gathered on the blind man?"
Bai Yunfei said: "It is indeed possible."
Luo Lie said: "Are you interested in these two things?"
Bai Yunfei said: "If I don't have any interest, I won't even believe it myself."
Luo Lie said: "In fact, no matter who falls into the hands of these two things, they will become hot potatoes. If you want to sleep peacefully, don't make any idea of them."
The blind man's surgery was decided to be performed next Tuesday. According to brain experts, there should be no problem with his vision recovery after the operation, but memory depends on the actual recovery, but it must be better than in the past. After all, he has been removed from his skull hemoma, and the relief of compression symptoms will bring a series of improvements.
At noon on Sunday, Ye Qinghong held a banquet at the mansion to entertain the French Consul Monperot family. Bai Yunfei was also invited. Zhang Lingkong was not originally invited by Ye Qinghong, but Monperot specifically proposed to invite Zhang Lingkong. Ye Qinghong knew that Zhang Lingkong must have something to do with Monperot when he heard about this.
Lunch was held on the grass in the manor. Bai Yunfei was not very interested in this Western-style self-service dining, but he was unwilling to miss this rare exchange opportunity.
When Bai Yunfei arrived, the Monpero and his wife had already arrived first. They accompanied Ye Qinghong to visit the manor. Luo Lie, the male owner, was responsible for receiving other people. Bai Yunfei saw Inspector Liu and his wife and was quite puzzled. It was not that Inspector Liu had led the crowd to search the place before and took Luo Lie away to investigate. Logically speaking, their relationship should be against each other, and they were among the invitations today.
Bai Yunfei soon realized that there was no eternal enemy in the world, only common interests. From the way Inspector Liu talked and laughed, he understood that Inspector Liu's crisis of resignation had been resolved, and this should be related to Monpero.
Bai Yunfei smiled and said, "I'm really a VIP today."
Luo Lie said: "It's all my own people, let's get up and chat and play cards."
At this time, Zhang Lingkong also arrived. He came by alone. He got off the car and smiled, "Mr. Luo, I'm late, I'm late."
Luo Lie walked over and shook hands with Zhang Lingkong and said, "Mr. Zhang is not late at all, it is half an hour earlier than the agreed time."
Zhang Lingkong smiled and said, "I can't wait to meet Mr. Luo."
Bai Yunfei secretly scolded this guy for being hypocritical. From Zhang Lingkong's attitude today, it can be seen that he was strangled to the throat. The ownership of the land in Blue Mill made this guy lower his posture. Zhang Lingkong's appearance made Bai Yunfei feel alert. He asked Luo Lie that the reason why Zhang Lingkong was invited over was entirely because of Monpero's instructor, that is, Zhang Lingkong had already made a relationship with the French consul in private. Monpero asked him to come over, and he was very likely to be a peacemaker.
Zhang Lingkong said to Bai Yunfei again: "Mr. Mu, we need to drink a few more drinks when we look back."
Bai Yunfei smiled and said, "Then I have to borrow Brother Luo's wine."
Luo Lie smiled and said, "There are so much wine, so the two of you drink openly."
Although Inspector Liu is the head of the patrol police in the French Concession, his status is far from equal to these people. He was also a little flattered by Luo Lie's invitation. He originally thought that such a big thing happened in the police station and he would definitely lose his protection, but he did not expect that Monpero actually let him go and only removed the deputy police officer in charge of firefighting. Inspector Liu escaped this crisis. He is not a fool. He knows that the reason why Monpero let him go was entirely because of Ye Qinghong's mediation. Ye Qinghong is Luo Lie's fiancée. If Luo Lie doesn't say anything, she will definitely not help him.
Although Inspector Liu is not capable of handling cases, he is a good at social experience. He is now very clear-headed and the case of the silk shop is simply put on the shelf. It is better to have less than more things than more things. Only by keeping his position can he keep his job.
At this time, the French Consul Monpero and his wife came back accompanied by Ye Qinghong. Ye Qinghong invited everyone to the seat. Luo Lie said to Inspector Liu and his wife: "Inspector Liu, please sit down."
Inspector Liu was flattered and said, "Brother Luo invites you first, Brother Luo invites you first."
Seeing Inspector Liu's appearance, Ye Qinghong laughed secretly. In fact, she disagreed with Luo Lie's approach of repaying grievances with kindness at the beginning, but now she understood Luo Lie's intention. In terms of scheming and wisdom, she was not as good as Luo Lie. No wonder she had been eaten by him all her life.
Inspector Liu and his wife rarely attend this Western-style cocktail party. They felt sad when facing the knife and fork. Ye Qinghong was thoughtful and carefully prepared chopsticks for each guest. What kind of tools they wanted to eat depend on their preferences.
Monpero said: "Ajani is my student. She was the smartest and most beautiful girl in the class at that time. She is very well-behaved and cute. I said at that time that she will definitely achieve something amazing in the future."
Zhang Lingkong smiled and said, "It is said that famous teachers produce great disciples, and I have seen them today."
Ye Qinghong smiled and said, "Don't say that. I can't sit still if I praise me anymore." She picked up the red wine in front of her and said, "Welcome to visit the humble house. Luo Lie and I only welcome everyone with this glass of wine." She is the owner of the place. Although Luo Lie is also present, after all, Luo Lie and she have not established a formal marriage relationship.
Bai Yunfei said: "Thank you Miss Ye, thank you Mr. Luo."
Everyone drank a sip of wine together. Ye Qinghong introduced to Monperot that today's chef was a French chef specially hired from the Huangpu Public Concession. Although they were in the French Concession, the best French restaurant was in the public concession.
Ye Qinghong has a deep understanding of French culture. With her introduction, laymen like Bai Yunfei and Inspector Liu also understood a lot.
The Monpero and his wife were extremely satisfied with today's French food. They praised them all over the place and frequently toasted to everyone. Inspector Liu found an opportunity to toast Monpero. Monpero touched his glasses with him, took a sip of wine and said, "Liu, I never knew that you and Mr. Luo were good friends. Mr. Luo said a lot of good things about you in front of me."
Monpero was beating him to let him understand that the reason why he could keep Wusha was Luo Lie this time, Inspector Liu said: "I understand, Mr. Consul, I will do my best to do my job well in the future, maintain public security in the concession, and make the entire concession stable and peaceful."
Monpero laughed. In fact, it is the same for him who is the leader of this police station. Using China to control China is their management principle. On this land, they need to maximize their interests.
After lunch, Monperot specially called Ye Qinghong and Zhang Lingkong together. He smiled and said, "Ajiani, I heard that Mr. Zhang's land investment in the New World belongs to you?"
From Zhang Lingkong's appearance, Ye Qinghong knew that he would discuss this matter sooner or later. She smiled and said, "It's not all, to be precise, I own part of the land."
Monpero said: "Mr. Zhang is interested in purchasing your land."
Zhang Lingkong kept a polite smile on his face. He was worried that Ye Qinghong and Bai Yunfei would join forces to make a fuss on this land, and he also knew that it would be difficult to discuss this matter smoothly. He considered repeatedly and decided to adopt a roundabout strategy, by first getting Monpero and then let Monpero come forward to coordinate. As long as Monpero spoke, Ye Qinghong would definitely not be able to refuse.
