Chapter 94
Chu Yueqing went to the Kowloon Hospital across the street after leaving the police station. Shi Boren also wanted to record Zhong Bo's statement to close the case, so they just happened to go the same way.
The sky was dim and the sun had already shrunk into the clouds.
Shi Boren followed behind, his hands in his jeans pockets, looking at the girl crossing the street and whispered: "Brother Xu, Qingqing just said that he would help catch the murderer in the girl case. Do you want to ask about the situation?"
Zhou Fengxu glanced at him, "Remember, you are the police. It is your responsibility to arrest the murderer and bring the case to justice, not the responsibility of others."
"That being said, Ma Zhengqi has already fled abroad. I don't have the magical power to catch him back." Shi Boren pouted.
Zhou Fengxu looked over.
The girl had already taken the lead and entered the hospital.
"Xingxing might really have the ability to fly to the United States and calculate with his fingers. I believe that he can find Ma Zhengqi's location in less than a day."
"Fly there? How long will it take to get a passport?" Zhou Fengxu turned around and asked, as if he had been enlightened, "Where is your mobile phone?"
"Don't worry." Shi Boren took the mobile phone out of his pocket, "You must carry thousands of equipment with you!"
As he said this, he touched the mobile phone again, his face pressed against it with an intoxicated look.
"I also rely on it to contact several informants. As soon as Ma Zhengqi returns to China, I will definitely get the news in the first place."
Group D has developed many informants. As early as they found that Ma Zhengqi had smuggled out of the country, the serious crime team had already contacted their respective informants and kept a close eye on the port.
"Keep your mobile phone open for the next few days." Zhou Fengxu said this and crossed the road at a swift pace.
Shi Boren was left standing there. After a long while, he blinked in fear, "Could it be that Xingxing has already calculated that Ma Zhengqi will return to China? Otherwise, why would Brother Xu ask someone to keep an eye on the phone?"
No way.
Could Xingxing have calculated this far in advance?
Shi Boren shook his head again, "Probably not. Brother Xu asked someone to keep an eye on the phone because he was probably worried that I was careless."
Without looking at the horoscope or looking at Ma Zhengqi's photo, even the most powerful master couldn't calculate it, right?
He ignored the fact that Chu Yuexing saw the faces of the Zheng family couple.
In the ward.
Zhong Chang was half-sitting, and Shi Boren found a chair next to the bed and sat down, holding a confession book and a pen.
"Uncle, now that Ding Yanli has confessed, she did poison the food four times. Before that, did you find anything wrong?"
Zhong Chang's pupils expanded, and he grabbed the quilt tightly and asked unwillingly: "Officer, it's really Lili. Poisoned?"
Shi Boren stopped recording and asked suspiciously: "Uncle, you don't want to give up, right? If you weren't lucky, the whole village would have enough to eat.
Wouldn't it mean that everyone in the village would have enough to eat?
"Alas." Zhong Chang sighed, "I just find it strange. Lili usually doesn't like doing housework, let alone cooking. How could she suddenly cook?"
Shi Boren picked up a pen to record.
"I could tolerate and understand her usual stubbornness and willfulness, and I thought she had finally become sensible. I never thought she did it just to poison me." Zhong Chang smiled bitterly.
After recording the statement, Shi Boren patted Zhong Chang on the shoulder and said, "Take things easy. Next time, just find a wife. A young man may give birth to a daughter not for your money, but also for your handsomeness."
Zhong Chang smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "How dare I find a wife? Sir, you are such a joke."
After saying that, he went to see the two people standing in the next bed and said guiltily, "Boss, I'm really sorry. You were waiting for the store to open, but I ended up like this."
Chu Yueqing didn't take it to heart and put the fruits she bought on the bedside table. "It's more important for you to rest well. There's no rush to renovate the store. I have a place to set up a stall myself." Zhong Chang
nodded, "I'll continue to work after you've rested well."
Suddenly -
"Meow..."
The window was open, and a black and white wild cat nimbly jumped in from outside. It swung its tail, stepped lightly on the floor with its four limbs, walked to the bed of Zhong Chang, raised its head, and stared at Zhong Chang with its big black eyes like agate.
"It's you again." Zhong Chang escaped death and recognized at a glance that the wild cat under the bed was the one who saved his life.
The wild cat seemed to understand, and jumped onto the soft bed with its hind legs, jumping left and right, leaving a lot of gray plum blossom marks on the white sheets.
If it were someone else, they would have chased the wild cat away long ago.
However, Zhong Chang reached out and held the wild cat in his arms, caressing it lovingly, "I will be alone again in the future. I wonder if you mind staying with an old man like me?"
The wild cat meowed, as if in response, and rubbed against Uncle Zhong's palm, squinting its eyes and enjoying the caress.
"Boss." Zhong Chang looked at Chu Yueqing and finally decided to ask the confusion in his heart, "Cat, why did you save my life for no reason?"
Chu Yueqing looked at the wild cat curled up in Zhong Chang's arms and counted on his fingers, "Its mother died of illness when it was born, and it was the only one alive among three brothers and sisters. One winter, it was trapped in a ditch in the countryside and couldn't climb out for several days. None of its brothers and sisters came to bring it food, and it almost starved to death. It was you who took it out without fear of the dirty ditch."
The wild cat lay in Zhong Chang's arms and listened quietly.
"It was lonely and helpless, and was often rejected because of its filth and stench. Your appearance lit a light in its world. It was attached to you, but also worried about being rejected by you, so it followed you quietly, wherever you went, it would go."
"Cats have a keen sense of smell. You said it knocked over the lunch box, so it must have smelled a different smell."
Chu Yueling stared into the wild cat's eyes and asked with a smile: "Am I right?"
The wild cat meowed as if responding.
"That's right, it turns out you are the dirty cat in the gutter." Zhong Chang was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes, and he picked up the wild cat and looked at it straight in the eyes.
He didn't expect that a good deed many years ago would sow good fruits today.
If it weren't for the cat, he would have died of poisoning.
To be honest, he did not force Ding Yanli to do anything, and he never asked for anything in return for his help to Ding Yanli. Even animals know how to repay kindness, but the lover who shared the same bed with him only wanted to steal money and kill people.
Chu Yueqing was quite moved by the fact that Zhong Bo was almost murdered.
The three of them left the hospital.
"Xixi." Shi Boren shouted.
Chu Yuexi turned around.
Two men were standing at the entrance of Kowloon Hospital, one was grinning, and the other took out the car keys from his windbreaker pocket.
"Come on, I'll take you to eat at Typhoon Shelter, and then I'll send you home after dinner."
Shi Boren also waved: "Typhoon Shelter has new dishes, hurry up! There will be no seats if you go too late."
Chu Yuexi smiled slightly at the two's cordial invitation: "I'm coming."
-
The next day.
Temple Street was crowded with people early in the morning.
Chu Yuexi did not set up the stall yesterday, and it was difficult to push the stall cart into the dessert stall. Dozens of reporters were like bees seeing nectar, and they chased after him one by one, grabbing the microphone.
Yesterday, the reporters waited for a whole day in Temple Street, and today they finally waited for someone.
They rushed to the front of the microphone after speaking.
"Master Chu, I'm a reporter from Time Magazine. Do you have time to do an interview?"
"Master Chu." Another voice.
Chu Yueling looked over and saw a male reporter. Seeing that Chu Yueling noticed him, he quickly squeezed over with the microphone.
"Many people know you through the Miss Hong Kong finals, and many neighbors have come to you from all over to have their fortunes told. Do you have anything to say about the public's love for you?"
In fact, they had already come to Temple Street yesterday. Since Chu Yueling did not set up a stall, they asked Zhang's Restaurant and nearby neighbors, but no one was willing to tell them where Chu Yueling lived, so they had to come here early this morning to stake out.
Seeing that the reporters had worked really hard, Chu Yueqing tilted his head and thought for a moment, "Okay."
The reporters were all very excited to get the opportunity to interview Chu Yueqing, and they quickly lined up to wait.
Chu Yueqing parked the stall and walked to the shade of the tree next to him, leaning against the tree and accepting the interviews from the reporters one by one.
After an hour, the interview was over.
The reporters were all amazed.
"I didn't expect the master to have such a good temper."
"Yeah, she's not like the master I interviewed before who had a bad temper and was full of arrogance."
"Her divination is so accurate. If I wasn't in a hurry to get back to the company to report, I would have to read her divination carefully."
Suddenly, a reporter pointed to the ground and said, "Look, you stepped on dog shit!"
Several reporters looked at the ground and found that their shoes were clean and they didn't step on anything. When they looked up again, they found that the cheating reporter had already run away with the interview manuscript.
They were furious and said, "Hey, we are all in the same industry. You don't have to be so shameless to rush for time, right? "
The neighbors laughed.
When Chu Yueqing walked over, the onlookers clapped their hands in unison. The applause was warm and loud.
One by one, they shouted.
"The master is so wild! (Amazing)”
“We all watched the Miss Hong Kong finals the night before last, and Lu Qing really won the championship!”
“To be honest, when I saw that girl, she was skinny and pale, and I really didn’t believe she could win the championship. I didn’t expect that after the makeover, she would be so pretty.”
“Master really helped her her whole life. If it weren’t for you, she would have to go back to the mainland and get married.”
“She did such a great thing, doesn’t she deserve our applause, don’t the neighbors think?”
“Yes!” Everyone responded in unison.
Facing everyone’s enthusiasm, Chu Yueqing blinked, and then a faint smile appeared on her fair face, which was warmed by the warmth. “It’s all what we should do.”
“Qingqing is humble. "Mrs. Ding said, "Only your sister is kind-hearted. Whether other fortune tellers are accurate or not is another matter. Who is willing to owe money for fortune telling?"
They watched the whole scene and naturally knew Lu Qing's situation. He couldn't even afford the money for fortune telling and was poor and thin. If it weren't for Chu Yuexiang's fortune telling, Lu Qing would have returned to the mainland and continued to be poor. How could she have been selected as Miss Hong Kong and become successful?
In their eyes,
Chu Yuexiang was no different from a living Bodhisattva.
After a long time, the applause gradually subsided.
A neighbor shouted, "Master, we received a letter from Brother De last night and knew that you would not set up the stall. How many fortunes will you tell today?"
"Today is also three. "Chu Yueqing's fair face was smiling. As soon as she spread the table, she heard a delicate voice coming over.
"Master, do you still remember me?"
A petite figure stood at the edge of the crowd. She was wearing a light white suit and carrying a small bag of the same color. It was none other than Xue Ying.
When someone came closer,
Chu Yueqing looked at her red eyes and smiled, "Don't you need to cry so long?"
Xue Ying looked at the bag with watery eyes and said embarrassedly, "I treated him well, but he actually cheated on me and dared to eat him in front of me. I just feel sorry for myself. "
She felt disgusted when she thought about how she worked so hard to find resources for the scumbag, but the scumbag still cheated on her.
Fortunately, the master was willing to wake her up.
Otherwise, she would not know how deeply she would be hurt when she found out after such a long time of passion for the relationship.
"It's right to look forward." Chu Yueqing affirmed her idea.
Xue Ying asked, "Master, if I hadn't discovered the true face of the scumbag, what would I become in the future?"
Chu Yueqing thought for a moment and decided to tell her, "You originally had a wealthy family and could spend a lot of money on your lover. The scumbag wanted to break up by force after cheating you of your money. You went to him to reason with him, but you didn't expect him to hit you. "
"This incident has become a nightmare for the rest of your life, and it has made you never dare to start another relationship again. "
Xue Ying's eyes widened in disbelief, "That scumbag actually dared to attack? Fortunately, there is a master."
The scumbag pretended too well, and he usually appeared to be very soothing and gentle. Thinking that if the loss was not stopped in time, he might suffer domestic violence, Xue Ying was so scared that he patted his chest repeatedly.
"Fortunately, I ran fast enough." Once again, Xue Ying wanted to thank the master, took out 10,000 yuan from her bag, and solemnly placed it on the wooden table.
"Master, this is your divination fee, please accept it. "
Originally, she was very shocked when she learned that Chu Yueling's divination fee was only 200 yuan. Because only those who have experienced Chu Yueling's divination can understand how accurate it is.
Worried that Chu Yueling didn't understand the market, Xue Ying took the initiative to say, "Any fortune teller with a little fame will charge at least 2,000 yuan for a divination, and the price will be adjusted appropriately depending on the severity of the matter. This does not include those metaphysical masters who often appear on TV, who charge tens of thousands for a divination. One of the metaphysical masters who often appear on TV, my father also went to have his divination told, and after the divination, he had to pay money to relieve his depression. In the end, the total cost was 200,000." Relieving
depression is similar to eliminating disasters.
If the fortune teller predicts that a person will have a disaster, if you don't want to experience this disaster, you have to pay the master to eliminate it.
Xue Ying felt depressed when she thought about her father spending 200,000 yuan and the so-called master didn't even get the money right.
"Master, you are better than them, why don't you raise the price?"
Chu Yueqing listened patiently and explained, "Money is just a threshold for Master Xuan."
High or low, people who want to make money will naturally raise the threshold.
However, if Master Xuan himself is only half-baked and charges a high price, he will not be able to eliminate disasters for his victims, and will gradually accumulate karmic debts and suffer backlash in his later years.
Xue Ying understood it immediately and immediately understood the mystery, but still asked in confusion, "Master can also raise the threshold."
Chu Yueqing smiled and shook his head, "I am willing to be a fortune teller for the poor."
Just one sentence made Xue Ying stunned.
Suddenly, she felt that the world had become quiet, so quiet that she could hear the thumping of her heartbeat, and the altar was filled with a clear light. She had a sudden realization.
"Master, I understand." Xue Ying bowed solemnly, "In the future, I will learn a lot from you."
Sometimes, it doesn't necessarily cost a lot to speak up for the people.
A master is a man of character and conviction.
-
Xue Ying left.
Chu Yueqing found a rag to wipe the table, put two stools in place, sat down and looked at the guests who were already impatient.
"You can start fortune-telling."
After he finished speaking, the people in the queue moved, and a middle-aged man came out after a while.
He had a thin face and sunken cheeks, and he was wearing a blue polo shirt. He walked to the table and slowly raised his head.
Seeing the unusually young Chu Yueqing, his eyebrows raised, obviously surprised, "Are you Master Chu?"
He decided to come and see after hearing from his wife that there was a fortune teller in Miao Street who was very good at fortune telling and even predicted the Miss Hong Kong title a few months in advance. He
thought that someone who could be called a master must be quite old, but he didn't expect that the other party was actually a girl in her early twenties?
Facing the girl's clean and clear eyes.
He couldn't help but feel dazed.
Chu Yueqing could see the distrust in the middle-aged man's eyes and smiled: "It's about voluntary fate here. Do you still want to tell fortunes? If not, let the next person take over."
Tao Haizhou was silent.
Tell? Or not?
The other party is so young, what if the fortune telling is not accurate?
After hesitating for a moment, he finally took out two hundred yuan and put it on the table. "I'll do the math."
He sat down.
Chu Yueqing looked at the money and then looked at Tao Haizhou's face. "You also need to provide your birth date."
Tao Haizhou did not hesitate this time. He recalled the specific time and provided it. Chu Yueqing pinched the horoscope and said
, "Your horoscope has a helpful day master, a strong seal, a strong body and a command, but there are many rivals, so you must be poor." She raised her eyes to look at Tao Haizhou, "You grew up in a poor family, you have an older sister and a younger brother, and you are the middle child. There is also a wealth star in your horoscope, so you have strong desires for wealth and career. The fire star of Bing, which hurts the official, also triggers the prosperity of the life master. You have a positive personality and are good at seizing any opportunity. Is that right?" Tao Haizhou was stunned. He didn't expect that the master could see so much from just providing a horoscope, and he got it all right. In an instant, he regretted that he had previously expressed his distrust of the master. "Master, you are right. My family is really poor. In winter, the three of us only have two pairs of trousers. One pair is given to my elder sister, and the other pair is worn by my younger brother in turn. The one without trousers has to sit on the bed." Tao Haizhou has not thought about the hard life of his childhood for a long time. His tone is quite emotional. "Life was really hard in those days. After I became an adult, I dropped out of junior high school. I did not follow my friends to work in the brick factory, but went to other provinces to wander around. Except for the initial work on the construction site to prepare the first pot of gold, I never worked again." "Of course you don't need to work. According to your horoscope, you are born to be a businessman. Once you seize the opportunity, you will not let it go." Chu Yueqing finished speaking. Tao Haizhou smiled, "It does make sense." Tao Haizhou was calm, but the neighbors were not. After so long in the fortune-telling stall, this is the first time I have seen the horoscope of a born businessman. "You are born to be a businessman. Give it to me and I will be comfortable." "I only work once in half a lifetime. The more I think about it, the more jealous I am." Someone else asked, "Brother Tao, how long have you been working on the construction site?" Tao Haizhou tried to recall the old days. "It should be three months." "Three months? You are so lucky." "Oh, it's so hard to be a worker and serve tea and water to the boss. It's really frustrating to compare with others." "I also want a destiny of being born a businessman." "You must have been very glorious as a businessman for your whole life, right?" Tao Haizhou showed a bitter look on his face and waved his hand, "Don't mention it. Every old horse has its own stumble. In my later years, I had a big accident. Not only did I go bankrupt, but I also got into a lawsuit. Now my family has to borrow money to make ends meet." He had a smooth life. When I dozed off, someone gave me a pillow. I never expected that I would suffer a setback when I was old enough to enjoy my retirement. I worked hard for most of my life, and now it's gone. The neighbors sighed. They didn't expect Tao Haizhou to go bankrupt. Seeing that Tao Haizhou had lost his fighting spirit and was lonely, they offered comfort. "It's normal to have risks when doing business. Don't worry too much."
"Master, your divination is very accurate. You are born to be a businessman. You will definitely make a comeback!"
"That's right. You must be ambitious and dare to fight! I am the same age as you, but I haven't learned how to admit defeat yet."
"Just now I said I wanted a businessman's horoscope, but now it's not possible. Life is full of ups and downs. I owe 5 million yuan at a time. I can't bear it. Brother Sai Lei is still the best."
Tao Haizhou's lonely heart was warmed by the words of his neighbors. "I'll ask for your good wishes to see if I can make a comeback."
After that, he went to see the master and asked the purpose of his visit.
"Master, I came here this time to ask about my fortune. What do you think of my fortune this year? Can I make a comeback?"
"To be honest, I owe a lot of debts, as much as 5 million. Recently, the bank's debt collection is very scary. My mother and wife at home can't stand the scare. If my luck is not good and I am really so unlucky, I will think about divorcing my wife and I can bear the debt myself."
Tao Haizhou's expression is still very painful when thinking about divorce. He loves his wife deeply and has been with his wife for so many years. Without his wife's support, his business would not be good.
The neighbors did not expect that Tao Haizhou would choose to divorce in order to prevent his wife from carrying debts.
"You are so true to your nature. There are really few men as responsible as you nowadays."
"Well, I hope you can get through this difficult time soon and don't have to divorce your sister-in-law."
Chu Yueqing looked at the hexagram, but felt something was wrong, so she counted on her fingers, "It's not right. You are in a position of great wealth now. It's a time of good fortune, so how could you be in debt and go bankrupt?"
Tao Haizhou was stunned. He just said that the master's calculations were accurate, so why was he different here?
"Master, did you not calculate carefully? I am indeed bankrupt and still owe 5 million in debt."
Chu Yueqing started to calculate from other places, and stopped when she came to the offspring, "How many children do you have?"
"My wife and I have only one." Tao Haizhou was also shocked when he saw that the master's expression was not very good, "Master, is there any problem?"
"Only one?" Chu Yueqing frowned slightly, "But your offspring palace shows that you have two sons." As
soon as the voice came out, the neighbors exclaimed.
Just now they said that Tao Haizhou was responsible and treated his wife well, and now he has two sons?
"Did you find a mistress outside, and she secretly gave birth to a child for you?"
"I thought you really loved your wife that much."
"Yes, it is also immoral for you to secretly give birth to a child behind the wife's back."
Tao Haizhou stood up and explained hurriedly, "Don't get me wrong, I really only have one son, and I didn't find a mistress outside."
Chu Yueqing stopped calculating and said something for the guest, "He is lucky to meet the right fortune star, and he is loyal in his relationships. He really didn't find a mistress outside, and he really doesn't have an illegitimate child."
Tao Haizhou wiped the sweat from his forehead and sat down again, "Thank you, Master, for clearing my name."
After that, he felt confused again, "Master, since I don't have an illegitimate child, why do I have two offspring?"
"Don't you know?" Chu Yueqing looked at him quietly.
Tao Haizhou thought about it and suddenly it dawned on him, "Could it be that... my godson is also considered my offspring in the horoscope?"
"Yes, there has been the concept of recognizing godparents since ancient times. In addition to blood ties, it is also an existence recognized by heaven." Chu Yueqing shook his head when he saw Tao Haizhou heaving a sigh of relief.
Tao Haizhou was originally worried about his fate, but when he saw that there was only one more child in his destiny, he relaxed and smiled when he mentioned his godson: "I am a good friend of his godson's biological parents. We all grew up in the same village."
"My godson is very sensible and well-behaved. There is only one bad thing about him. He has been weak and sick since he was a child. My friend said that the old family said that if a child is weak and sick, it means that his destiny is unstable. If he finds a godson, he will grow up healthy."
"My friend came to me, and I had no reason to refuse." Tao Haizhou recalled that they had a meal together and held a ceremony.
The godson was made public.
"My godson is about the same age as my son. I don't regret adopting him." Tao Haizhou thought about everything his godson had done for him over the years, and compared it with his biological son, and he couldn't help but feel emotional.
"He is more filial than my biological son. He comes to play chess with me on weekdays and holidays. He brings fruit gifts to my house on holidays. He also gives my whole family a red envelope every year. When my company went bankrupt, he took out NT$400,000 to help me through the difficulties. He is diligent and motivated. Sometimes I look at him like myself."
"On the other hand, my biological son does not have the character I had when I was young and is like a lazy worm. He is filial, but not much. Alas, we are father and son, and we don't care about these things."
In comparison.
Tao Haizhou would sometimes think that it would be great if his adopted son was also his biological son. In this way, he would not always sigh at his adopted son.
After talking about the origin of his relationship with his godson, Tao Haizhou turned his head to look at the neighbors behind him, hoping to get their approval, "Just tell me, is this godfather of mine good?"
The onlookers whispered to each other.
"I almost misunderstood you at first. It turns out that you are a godfather."
"Let's be honest. He can give you 400,000 yuan to help you through the difficulties. Just for this reason, it's worth it to recognize this son!"
"Yes, these days, let alone a godson, even your own brothers may not help."
Tao Haizhou looked ahead again, "Master, is my godson very good?"
Who would have thought.
Chu Yueqing sighed and shook her head.
"Good? What's good? Using your money to help you is also called good?"
