Chapter 34 Chapter 34 Archives

Chi Zhao handed Sang Baiyu a piece of information.

It was He Li's file, recording all of his information, including the source of his wealth and his properties. The data was as detailed as bank statements, even including records of patients registered at He Li's hospital.

Sang Baiyu was surprised and asked, "You even know how many properties he owns, but you didn't know he never came back after being released from prison?"

Chi Zhao said meaningfully: "My connection with him is not close."

Sang Baiyu showed a skeptical expression and said, "I believe you."

Chi Zhao: "..."

Fang Xiaoman asked: "Didn't you send anyone to monitor He Li?"

Chi Zhao asked back: "Why should I do this?"

Fang Xiaoman: "?, Do you need a reason to do bad things?"

Chi Zhao: "..."

He looked at the two of them with a smile.

Sang Baiyu asked, "What are you looking for?"

"Just like you, find out why He Li was killed."

Sang Baiyu raised an eyebrow, "Did you really not know that He Li's car would be in front of the truck?"

Chi Zhao asked: "What do you think?"

"You must know that I don't believe the collision of the two cars was a coincidence. So, you knew He Li was there, but you didn't know why He Li died? Was it not Chi Mingyuan's doing?"

Chi Zhao said slowly, "I don't know."

"Isn't he your father?"

"Fang Xiaoman is your sister. Do you know everything about her?"

Sang Baiyu thought for a moment, then nodded seriously, "I know everything."

Fang Xiaoman was unconvinced. "Who said that? Don't you know how much private money I've hidden?"

Sang Baiyu: "There are 230 yuan in the envelope under the drawer."

Fang Xiaoman: “…”

Having a sister with special abilities is not a good thing.

Fang Xiaoman thought angrily that she must find another place to hide when she returned so that no one could find her!

Sang Baiyu said, "Sister Hongying has already taken it."

Fang Xiaoman: “…”

“!!”

Bian Bin's face turned green.

Their young master was still talking, and they started making trouble? Did they take their young master seriously?

Bian Bin turned around and glared at Fang Xiaoman angrily.

Fang Xiaoman raised her eyebrows and made a gesture of wiping her neck towards him.

Bian Bin: “…”

He sat back silently.

Fang Xiaoman said disdainfully, "Hey, you dare to hire a bodyguard like this? Isn't your family very rich?"

Bian Bin was very sad and angry.

He is already the best! The best!

Chi Zhao said: "Don't waste time, since you are here, let's talk about cooperation."

Sang Baiyu: "You say."

"I provided information, and we maintained peace for now. We investigated He Li together, shared the results, and the cooperation ended."

Sang Baiyu asked: "What if you don't keep your word and don't tell us the result?"

Chi Zhao said: "I need to worry about this too. Our risks are the same."

"How can they be the same?" Sang Baiyu said, "You are bad people, and we are good people."

Fang Xiaoman nodded in agreement.

Chi Zhao: "..."

Does that mean Chi Zhao will lie, but they won’t?

If Chi Zhao hadn't investigated them, he would have believed it.

In past investigations, there were many vicious people living in Pingxiang Street, and their evaluation of jade shops was without exception fear.

I heard that the people in the store would beat people up, and they wouldn't show any mercy.

Chi Zhao maintained a mysterious smile.

Sang Baiyu said, "Let's see how you perform for now."

He Li's life revolved around the mental hospital.

He also has an older brother named He Huan, who is a general surgeon.

There are not many doctors in Longxinggang, and the two brothers are considered to be the best.

He Li was murdered. Wu Yuanqing has contacted He Huan. He Huan works in the capital of Longxinggang and is rushing here.

Sang Baiyu said, "Brother He Li is waiting for Uncle Wu's letter over there. Let's go here first."

Sang Baiyu handed a piece of information to Chi Zhao.

Chi Zhao lowered his eyes and looked.

This is Meng Jian’s “medical history”.

Meng Jian once "lived" in a mental hospital, and it was Sang Baiyu and Fang Xiaoman who rescued her.

Chi Zhao said: "Do you want to go to a mental hospital?"

*

After He Li was imprisoned, the mental hospital closed down, and there has never been a second mental hospital in Longxinggang.

Former patients were sent home, the hospital's buildings and land were auctioned off, but He Li's "private domain" remained under his name.

The house is now unattended, but to be on the safe side, the driver parked the car 500 meters away.

Bian Bin got out of the car and planned to go in with Sang Baiyu.

Chi Zhao sat in the back seat and showed no intention of getting out of the car.

Sang Baiyu opened the car door and knocked on the window.

Chi Zhao looked over.

Bian Bin was still angry, "I'll go!"

"You?" Fang Xiaoman clicked his tongue twice. "What use are you?"

Bian Bin: “…”

He was so angry that his face turned red, but when he looked at Fang Xiaoman and then at Sang Baiyu, it seemed that no one could beat him.

Bian Bin looked at Chi Zhao aggrievedly.

Chi Zhao said: "He is still young, don't bully him."

He stood up and got out of the car wearing sunglasses.

Maybe it was because the light from the sunglasses was too dim, but Chi Zhao missed a step when he got out of the car.

Bian Bin rushed over but was blocked by Sang Baiyu.

Sang Baiyu reached out to support Chi Zhao and observed his eyes.

Chi Zhao always wears sunglasses, day or night.

Hui Haiming once found out that Chi Zhao seemed to have some kind of eye disease.

There are rumors that because of Chi Zhao's illness, Chi Mingyuan once thought of not wanting to hand over the family business to him.

Unfortunately, Chi Xi is a hopeless case, and his mind is only on eating, drinking and having fun. He is unwilling to send Chi Mingyuan to study abroad in Europe and the United States.

In the 1990s, Europe and the United States all had filters in China, not to mention Longxinggang.

Those who come back from studying abroad are called returnees, and they can talk about how round the moon is abroad.

Young Master Chi was able to withstand the pressure and make a living in a small border town in China.

Sang Baiyu was very curious about what Chi Zhao looked like under the sunglasses.

Chi Zhao said calmly: "Bian Bin can take me in."

Sang Baiyu smiled and said, "But I'm not confident in you."

She grabbed Chi Zhao's wrist. At the same time, Fang Xiaoman kicked Bian Bin. "Do you still want to be beaten?"

Bian Bin: “…”

Sang Baiyu took Chi Zhao inside.

As she stood beside him, she could see that his eyes looked just like a normal person's, beautiful even.

Bian Bin said anxiously: "You can't take him away! He..."

Chi Zhao looked at Bian Bin and motioned him to be quiet.

Bian Bin said: "She took you away, isn't it..."

Chi Zhao said: "Everyone knows it."

Bian Bin still wanted to move forward.

Fang Xiaoman held him down forcefully. "We're right behind you, why are you so anxious?!"

Sang Baiyu had already brought Chi Zhao to the door of the house.

This place must have been abandoned for many years and overgrown with weeds, but it seemed that someone had cleaned the doorway and some of the weeds had been pulled out.

Chi Zhao reminded: "If you want to investigate, it's best not to go through the main door. There may be someone in the house."

Sang Baiyu already knew whether there was anyone in the house. She didn't smell any human scent, but there were quite a few small insects.

Sang Baiyu said, "Oh, go ahead and check it out."

Chi Zhao: "..."

Sang Baiyu said, "You are very capable. You can investigate anything you want. Go ahead and investigate. I'll wait for you."

Chi Zhao didn't say anything else. He pushed the door open and walked in.

There was no light in the room, so Chi Zhao walked forward cautiously.

Sang Baiyu noticed this and deliberately slowed down, trying to infer Chi Zhao's condition based on his reaction.

But Chi Zhao seemed to know what she was thinking. He grabbed Sang Baiyu's wrist and pulled her forward.

Chi Zhao said: "It's not good to test too many times, lead the way."

Sang Baiyu was shocked.

That's quite smart.

Bian Bin went in first to check and confirmed that there was no one in the house.

He turned on the lights and looked worriedly at the row of rooms.

There's no one here, but there are plenty of rooms! I have to find a time to go.

Bian Bin was about to ask Chi Zhao for his opinion, but saw that Sang Baiyu and Fang Xiaoman had already taken action.

They took out a bunch of strange tools, first observed the dust at the door of each room, then locked the room and walked in.

After entering the room, they did not look for it directly, but instead took rulers and other tools to draw inside.

Bian Bin was stunned. "What are they doing?"

Chi Zhao stood at the door.

He was asked by Sang Baiyu to stand at the door.

Chi Zhao said: "Looking for a secret door."

"Is there a secret door here?"

"Some secret rooms are quite hidden."

Bian Bin looked around the room in confusion.

There was a hospital bed, a desk and a wardrobe in the room. There was a lot of dust on the wardrobe. No matter how you looked at it, it was clear that no one had been here for a long time. Moreover, compared with the room Meng Jian had lived in before, this place was really ordinary.

Two minutes later, Fang Xiaoman put away his tools. "No one has moved the furniture. I thought there was a secret room."

"Looking at the distance between the windows in each room, the possibility is not high."

Bian Bin: “…”

Is that a pass?

Who did these two learn this style from? Why are they so weird?

He was trained as a thug and has never learned this kind of thing?

Bian Bin thought of Chi Zhao's investigation of the jade shop.

Everyone's comments on the jade shop are the same - there are no good people.

It seems that compared to Sang Baiyu and Fang Xiaoman, he and Chi Zhao are more like good people!

Bian Bin felt an inexplicable sense of pride in his heart.

He found someone worse than him!

Sang Baiyu and Fang Xiaoman started hitting the floor tiles again.

Bian Bin muttered, "Again? It's obvious no one has been to this room. We might as well look for He Li's other properties. The chances of finding where he lived before his death are higher."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sang Baiyu and Fang Xiaoman worked together to pry up a tile.

Sang Baiyu smiled with satisfaction: "The gaps here are different from those of other floor tiles. There must be something fishy going on."

Bian Bin: “…”

What the hell??

He walked over in disbelief, "You don't think He Li hid it, do you? Why would he hide under the tiles? It would be easy to be discovered."

Sang Baiyu: "Is it easy? It's not bad."

Fang Xiaoman: "Didn't you notice?"

Bian Bin: “…”

Damn it!!

Not only can I not beat them, I can’t even talk them down!

Bian Bin looked at Chi Zhao pitifully.

Chi Zhao avoided his gaze and walked over, "What is this?"

Sang Baiyu picked up the file bag and said, "It looks like a file."

Chi Zhao looked at Sang Baiyu.

Sang Baiyu nodded and took out the documents inside.

There were fifteen files, and at first glance they looked like they were for patients who had been in a mental hospital, but a closer look revealed that the medical records section was blank for everyone.

"There are no medical records, but there are room numbers, which indicates that a group of people without mental illnesses were once detained here. These people... were all young people, both men and women, with girls being the majority."

Sang Baiyu picked out one of them and said, "The wrinkles on this one are new. He Li just looked at it."

Bian Bin was unconvinced, "How do you know it was He Li who saw it? Couldn't it have been someone else? It's very likely that He Li didn't hide it!"

Chi Zhao squatted down in front of Sang Baiyu and asked, "Is there anything special about this document?"

Sang Baiyu handed it over with a smile, "Take a look."

Chi Zhao looked at Sang Baiyu.

Sang Baiyu opened her big, innocent eyes and asked, "Could it be that you can't see it?"

Chi Zhao: "..."

She clearly already had the answer in her heart, but she insisted that he say it out loud.

Chi Zhao suddenly asked an irrelevant question, "Are you close to Chi Xi?"

Sang Baiyu said: "It's a friend."

"He seems to like you."

Sang Baiyu said seriously: "There are many people who like me, and he is not the only one who likes me."

Chi Zhao curled his lips slightly, and the topic inexplicably came back. "My eyesight is sometimes better and sometimes worse. Sometimes I can see more clearly, and sometimes I can only see blurry outlines. Especially at night, many things are unclear."

Bian Bin: “…”

Didn't anyone notice what he said?

He no longer exists in this room?

And how could his young master reveal something that was supposed to be kept secret?!

If people from other families knew about this, there would be chaos!

Bian Bin hesitated beside him.

Fang Xiaoman hooked her arm around his neck impatiently, "You look pretty, but why is your brain so full of mush? Let's go out and keep watch."

"Watch out? Watch out for what? Hey, don't touch my mouth, you..."

Bian Bin's voice was getting farther and farther away.

Sang Baiyu gave Chi Zhaonian the file. "The file is very old, probably from more than ten years ago, maybe even older. The girl didn't have a name, only a code name, No. 11. She was only 7 years old when she was recorded. He Li seemed to have done a physical examination on her, or some other test, and it said everything was normal, but I don't know what exactly was normal."

After Sang Baiyu finished reading, he continued to flip through the pages.

She turned to the last one and was startled when she saw the name on it, then continued to push forward without saying a word.

Chi Zhao said, "You are willing to read out the information, which means you want to find out about No. 11 through me. If you hide something, I may not share the information with you."

Sang Baiyu: "..."

Aren’t your eyes not working well?

Sang Baiyu had no choice but to take out the last piece of paper and said, "Look, this is my eldest sister's information."

Chi Zhao asked: "Hui Haiming?"

Sang Baiyu: "..., you really have investigated us."

Chi Zhao smiled and said, "The results of the investigation may be more in-depth than you think."

Sang Baiyu sighed softly.

There are not many people she can't fool, and Chi Zhao is one of them.

Talking to Chi Zhao was tiring. I couldn't lie to a fool. But Sang Baiyu had more important things to do.

Why does Hui Haiming's file appear here?

Judging from the content, her files are completely different from those of the previous people.

The files detailed her date of birth and life story, as if someone had conducted a detailed investigation of her.

However, this information is not entirely correct. For example, Hui Haiming's age is wrong and his birthday is also different.

There shouldn't be many people with the same name and surname, right?

Unfortunately, there was no custom of posting photos in archives in the 1990s, so I don’t know if Hui Haiming here is her elder sister.

Chi Zhao made a quick judgment. "I'll investigate what happened on the 11th. You go ask your eldest sister. If you want to exchange information, call me. If not, let's pretend we haven't met today. You can keep the information."

It sounds like a very favorable deal for Sang Baiyu.

Sang Baiyu said sharply, "You don't even want the information. You must know something about No. 11. If you don't explain clearly, we can't cooperate."

Chi Zhao looked at Sang Baiyu.

Now Sang Baiyu was just a blurry outline in his eyes.

But when he first saw her, he could just see her clearly.

She was sitting bored in the hotel lobby, and when he came out, she was secretly looking at him.

Chi Zhao could probably imagine Sang Baiyu's current expression.

He said helplessly: "You really know everything."

Sang Baiyu reminded: "You can't do business without sincerity."

Chi Zhao said: "Knowing the truth will do you no good."

Sang Baiyu: "It seems that not only do you not want to do business, you also don't want to live."

Chi Zhao said: "You have never killed anyone, so there is no need to threaten me."

Sang Baiyu said, "Zhu Jiang seems to be the most capable person around you, but you bring Bian Bin with you. Zhu Jiang is not loyal to you, and many of the people under you may also have second thoughts. Tomorrow I will tell Zhu Jiang that Bian Bin will replace him. Remember to remind Bian Bin to be careful."

Chi Zhao: "..."

Sang Baiyu patted her clothes and was about to leave.

Chi Zhao held her back and said, "My mother has been missing for many years. I was looking for her and discovered that many people have disappeared in the past few years. These code names may be related to experiments. I suspect my mother was involved, but I don't know what experiment it is. Don't tell anyone else about this."

*

When Sang Baiyu and Fang Xiaoman returned to the jade shop, Hui Haiming was counting the accounts.

Jade shops are not making as much profit as they used to.

Sang Baiyu turned around in front of Hui Haiming.

Fang Xiaoman also turned around in front of Hui Haiming.

Hui Haiming: "..."

Sang Baiyu wanted to turn a second time.

Hui Haiming: "Stop!"

Sang Baiyu and Fang Xiaoman were so frightened that they stood at attention, pushing each other and saying, "Go ask, big sister likes you."

"Go ahead. You've been beaten so many times that this one won't make a difference."

"you go!"

"you!!"

Hui Haiming: "..."

There are actually two childish guys with the same IQ in their family.

Hui Haiming threatened: "If you don't tell me now, I won't tell you again in this life."

Sang Baiyu quickly sat over and asked, "Sister, do you know He Li?"

"A dead psychiatrist who just got out of prison."

"Do you know him?"

Hui Haiming sneered, "Is there anything about Longxinggang that I don't know?"

Sang Baiyu: "..."

The bully family is indeed powerful.

Sang Baiyu said: "In fact, we suspect there is something fishy about his death."

"Indeed," Hui Haiming said, "He probably doesn't want to blow himself up. You two are really getting smarter."

Fang Xiaoman: “…”

She hasn't said anything yet, why is he scolding her too?

Hui Haiming said, "If you have something to say, please tell me now. I'll find out later..."

Sang Baiyu quickly explained, "We found a file of yours at He Li's place. I'm sure He Li had touched the file before his death."

She took out Hui Haiming's file and handed it to her.

Hui Haiming glanced at him and said, "It's perfectly normal for someone to investigate me. Is it worth making a fuss about?"

Sang Baiyu stuck out her tongue, "Sure enough, I can't hide it from Big Sister."

She handed all the files to Hui Haiming. "Your files are placed together with theirs, sister. It seems someone is using them for experiments."

Hui Haiming looked through it and said curiously, "There are men and women. What kind of experiments can be done? Do I have any relationship with them?"

Fang Xiaoman said cautiously, "Isn't this asking you?"

"What relationship do I have with them?!" Hui Haiming said, "Look, half of this is fake information I made up. They didn't check it carefully at all."

Sang Baiyu sighed in his heart.

After so many years, their family has remained as bad as ever, even the backup of their information is fake!

Sang Baiyu told Hui Haiming what had happened.

She had never hidden anything from Hui Haiming, but thinking about the promise she made to Chi Zhao today not to talk about his mother, she somehow skipped over this part.

Hui Haiming's focus was on Chi Zhao. "Are you going to find Chi Zhao?"

Sang Baiyu said, "We just happened to meet. I think we can cooperate."

"No!" Hui Haiming's face flushed. She had never lost her temper with Sang Baiyu before, but now she was seething with rage. "I've told you many times to stay away from the Chi family, and you actually offered to cooperate? What will you gain by cooperating? The only victim in the end will be you!"

Sang Baiyu was stunned, lowered his head and said nothing.

Fang Xiaoman was also afraid that Hui Haiming would get angry, but when she thought about the many things her elder sister hadn't told her, she felt a little aggrieved. She said loudly, "You always tell us to stay away from the Chi family, but you don't tell us why. Is there a blood feud between us and their family? Is this what you want to do by staying in Longxinggang?!"
