Volume 5: Qingming Chapter 24 Chu City
Sun Yu typed quickly on the keyboard with both hands. On the computer screen was a half-written report and next to the screen was a half-drunk can of herbal tea.
He heard the sound of the door being pushed open, looked up and saw Jiang You walking in.
"Brother Jiang, why are you here?"
"The section chief said there was something going on, so I came here right after I received the news," Jiang You closed the door, looked inside, then walked to the door of the conference room and opened it, "Recruiting, recruiting..."
He found Zhaocai under a chair, picked him up with one hand, and walked back to the office while stroking the cat, half lying down on his computer chair.
"I thought you were coming this afternoon," Sun Yu saved the file and turned off the screen. He turned around and glanced at Jiang You, "Brother Jiang, have you lost weight?"
"Did you figure it out?" Jiang You was very excited.
"I noticed it when you came in just now. I thought you looked younger, but I thought it was because of your clothes." Sun Yu took a can of herbal tea from under the desk and threw it into Jiang You's hand. "Look carefully and you will find that you have lost weight."
"I've lost 20 pounds!" Jiang You unbuttoned the ring and took a sip. "I'd rather have it cold. How's our new office?"
"It's under renovation. We'll probably be able to move in in late May." Sun Yu was very interested in Jiang You's weight loss. He asked, "Did you lose weight through exercise?"
"I created this method myself," Jiang You held the cat and enthusiastically introduced his Saitama weight loss method to Sun Yu. Finally, he concluded, "It will take more than one or two days to lose the fat accumulated over the years. I didn't lose a pound for several days in a row. If I hadn't come up with this method to reward myself, and to give myself a positive feedback as long as I exercised, I would have given up halfway this time."
"Isn't this bad for your health?"
"I have a private instructor watching me."
"That Lin Yu?" Sun Yu asked.
"Yes, it was him. Before I left, he just happened to come to my store to supervise me..." Jiang You took a sip of herbal tea, "He is just too responsible."
"I checked his girlfriend's information." Sun Yu said.
"How about it?"
"She is from Chucheng, an only child, 27 years old. Her parents run a small supermarket in their hometown. After graduating from college, she went to Zhuzhou first and worked as an administrator in a small education and training company. After working there for half a year, she returned to Chucheng to help her parents run the supermarket. About a year later, she left home again and went to Zhuzhou. This time, she joined Wenye Beverage Company as a salesperson, a company that competes with Lin Yu. When Wenye started to develop the Tangjiang market, she was sent here, and later she was poached by Lin Yu."
After finishing his words in one breath, Sun Yu picked up the herbal tea and took a big sip. "It looks quite ordinary, not like it has any contact with any mysterious power. Wenye Beverage and the other companies that Lin Yu mentioned last time, judging from the information we have so far, are also operating normally. We may need to conduct an in-depth investigation to find any abnormalities."
"I also tend to think that it was Duan Rui's personal behavior," Jiang You said as he turned Zhao Cai over and scratched his belly. Zhao Cai turned around and pounced, biting Jiang You's wrist. Jiang You quickly grabbed the hair on the back of Zhao Cai's neck, lifted him up, and weighed him. "Look, I've lost weight. You should lose some weight, too, right? You don't have any abdominal muscles on your belly. When the new office is ready and there's a treadmill, we can run together, okay?"
After saying that, Jiang You turned the animal over again and gently touched its head, and its body slowly relaxed again.
As they were talking, the office door was pushed open again, and Tang Butian walked in. She was wearing a pure white shirt-collared long-sleeved dress, and her long black hair hung down on her shoulders.
After seeing Jiang You, Tang Butian looked a little surprised.
"I came here as soon as I received the text message." Jiang You said.
Tang Butian nodded slightly, "They invited me to the ethnic and religious conference held in Chucheng next week."
"Are you planning to go?" Jiang You asked.
"Yes. Yang Xuan contacted me yesterday. She encountered a supernatural incident while filming."
"Is there no one in Chu City responsible for this?"
"Missing a week ago," Tang Butian pursed her lips. She held the wooden sword and leaned against the desk. "The benefactor behind the Jinghu Society, Hu Yuefeng, died."
Jiang You loosened his grip a little, and Zhao jumped to the ground.
"When did he die?"
"Not long after we came back from the small world," Tang Butian looked at Jiang You, "the news was covered up at first, but Hu Yuefeng died."
"When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. Is there any connection between the person in charge of Chu City and Jinghu?"
"It's not clear yet, so we have to check. Ten years ago, a landslide occurred in Jiujin Mountain in Chucheng due to heavy rain, which happened to crush a group of people to death. It might not be an accident."
Jiang You thought about it and said, "I may have a clue."
"What clue?"
"I sold a postcard recently," Jiang You rummaged in his bag and took out the black beads. "You were there that day too, and you asked her why she wasn't afraid of the sun."
"How is she?"
"She got what she wanted, right? This bead has some effect on her. She told me that when she was in a daze after her death, she met a little girl in the hospital. The little girl gave her something, and since then she is no longer afraid of the sun. However, she would fall into a deep sleep , and she had no idea what happened during her sleep."
After Jiang You briefly explained the cause and effect, he said, "I suspect this little girl has something to do with this bead, and this bead was originally in Duan Rui's hands."
"Should we go to the hospital to find the little girl?" Sun-woo asked.
Jiang You didn't answer, he looked at Tang Butian.
"Let's look for it," Tang Butian decided. She asked, "Which hospital?"
"The hospital where Jiang Mo stayed before."
"Let's go."
"Then I'll drive the car to the door." Sun Yu stood up and walked out of the office.
"I thought I had escaped today's exercise, but I didn't expect a bigger pit was waiting for me," Jiang You stood up with difficulty. He drank the herbal tea in the can in one gulp and threw the can into the trash can. "If you go to Chucheng, take Lin Yu with you."
"How is his health?"
"It is said that he was cured. He didn't remember anything after he came back. The envelope in his hand has two pieces of paper in it," Jiang You walked out, "one piece tells him that he agreed to erase his memory, and the other one tells him that he was cured. He is even more irresponsible than me."
"Is Duan Rui's soul inside the bead?"
"Yes, and that monster is here too."
"Can we call him out for interrogation?" Tang Butian asked.
"My son has been playing with me like a marble for so long," Jiang You looked at Tang Butian's profile, "it has long been turned into a ball of energy."
