Chapter 36
Lin Anyu adjusted his clothes and rolled up his sleeves a few times to expose his wrists for ventilation.
She asked casually, "That's it, what next?"
Seeing that Pei Jingji didn't answer him for a long time, Lin Anyu raised his head curiously: "Hmm?"
Pei Jingji came back to his senses and smiled shyly: "Nothing, just a feeling. I have been looking for you for three years. I didn't expect that when I saw you again, you have changed so much that I couldn't recognize you."
"You are fine this way, you are fine this way."
Pei Jingji repeated this sentence twice.
Lin Anyu paused for a moment, as if she had thought of something. She asked inexplicably, "Do you know what happened three years ago?"
"Three years ago?" Pei Jingji seemed to be in deep thought for a while, and said truthfully, "I don't know what happened exactly. At that time, except for you, the four of us were all abroad."
Lin Anyu continued to ask: "Is Gu Beizhi not back either?"
"He," Pei Jingji said nonchalantly, "he originally returned to China a year before you. But he was greedy for the high salary and renewed his visa for another three years."
After that, he did not forget to add, "The renewal did not bring any benefits. In the end, I still had to pay the penalty for the termination of the contract."
"He likes living abroad so much, why did he terminate the contract?" Lin Anyu asked.
"Because of you." Pei Jingji said.
"What's wrong with me?" Lin Anyu thought of a possibility, "I asked him to return home?"
Before Pei Jingji could answer, Lin Anyu said weakly, "Was I so overbearing before?"
"You're not that domineering. He just terminated his contract and came back after hearing that you disappeared after returning to China."
"Oh." For a moment, Lin Anyu felt a little guilty.
She reminded Gu Beizhi again and again that she was not Song Lue, but little did she know that Gu Beizhi had taken the initiative to give up so much for her.
Song Luo really has a group of good friends.
Noticing that Lin Anyu's expression was not right, Pei Jingji said, "You won't feel guilty, will you?"
Lin Anyu didn't say anything.
Pei Jingji said bluntly: "Don't feel sorry for Gu Beizhi, he is just an old fox, I don't know how many people have fallen into his hands."
Lin Anyu adjusted his mood and asked, "Does Interpol make a lot of money?"
Otherwise, why would Gu Beizhi be so greedy for the salary and unwilling to come back?
"It's not very lucrative, but at least it's more than what you guys make from staying up all night to solve cases now," Pei Jingji said, "That's why Shen Shuhao hates him so much."
"He always felt that it was Gu Beizhi who stayed abroad for a few bucks and didn't stay by your side to protect you, which is why you disappeared."
Hearing an unfamiliar name.
Lin Anyu: "Who is Shen Shuhao?"
Just now, Pei Jingji remembered that this was the first time Lin Anyu heard the name Chen Shuhao.
He explained: "Oh, that's the portrait artist we're going to look for later. He's your die-hard fan, the kind who would blow up the whole world for you if you disagree with him."
Blow up the world if you disagree with something?
Lin Anyu asked: "Can he drive a tank?"
"That's not the case, it's just that his family is rich," Pei Jingji said nonchalantly, "Money makes the world go round, not to mention simply blowing up the world."
Lin Anyu quietly put his clothes in order: "Oh."
Pei Jingji saw that she had almost finished cleaning up, so he said, "That's all for later. What's important now is that I teach you a few moves that Song Luo often does to trick your brainless fan into coming over."
Lin Anyu nodded: "Yes, okay."
"Just remember one thing: don't stand if you can lean on something, and don't lean on something if you can sit. Even if you can only stand in the end, you must find something to support yourself and use your arms to prop yourself up." Pei Jingji said worriedly, "Did you remember?"
Lin Anyu nodded: "Oh, I remember."
"Show me how to do it." Pei Jingji said, "Just stand next to the table."
Lin Anyu walked over obediently, leaning lightly on the table, his eyes full of caution.
Seeing that she was ready, Pei Jingji gestured to himself: "Look at me, look at me, what do you think of me?"
Lin Anyu stood up straight instantly and said respectfully, "Great God."
"I'm not asking you to praise me," Pei Jingji tried his best to teach the movements, "Look up and look fierce."
Lin Anyu made various expressions according to his instructions.
"Yes, yes, that's it," Pei Jingji reminded frantically, "Look at me, look at me, are you and I useless? Look at me more fiercely, yes, yes, yes. Now, you feel that I am an ant, you look down on me and despise me! The next second, you will step on me to death!"
Lin Anyu: “…”
Lin Anyu embarrassedly retracted the expression he had just made.
Pei Jingji: "What are you doing?"
Lin Anyu hesitated for a moment and said, "This is the first time I've heard of someone making such a request."
A little uncomfortable.
Pei Jingji stroked his forehead: "..."
Sure enough, it was too difficult for her to learn to be like her former self after she lost her memory.
After teaching for more than ten minutes, Pei Jingji decisively gave up.
Pei Jingji: "When we get to the flower shop later, don't talk nonsense. Leave the rest to me."
Lin Anyu nodded.
It was dinner time, and everyone in the criminal police team was busy preparing these clues.
Walking to the door of the office, Lin Anyu rushed in: "Wait for me a moment."
"What are you doing?" Pei Jingji was startled by her sudden turn.
After a while, Lin Anyu came out and said, "Get a cup of coffee."
Pei Jingji seemed to find it funny: "It's night time now, you brought coffee to that young master, do you want him to sleep at night?"
Lin Anyu: "When you ask for help, you have to bring some gifts. It's not good for us to go empty-handed."
Pei Jingji did not stop him: "Okay, whatever you want, that guy doesn't lack these things anyway."
Lin Anyu zipped up his jacket to his chin and followed closely behind Pei Jingji.
"Welcome." With a sweet welcome, a man in a white shirt walked out from behind the flowers in the flower shop along the street.
He stood straight and his skin was white and tender, as if it had been soaked in milk.
It formed a sharp contrast with Pei Jingji's dark skin.
Pei Jingji smiled and greeted, "Mr. Shen."
Shen Shuhao ignored him and instead set his eyes on Lin Anyu who was standing beside him. He shouted in surprise, "Boss!"
Lin Anyu was about to speak when Pei Jingji beside her stopped her in a low voice: "Don't move, so cool."
Lin Anyu: “Oh.”
Shen Shuhao threw away the bouquet, rushed over, and hugged Lin Anyu: "Boss, that old fox Gu Beizhi said that the bureau is busy investigating cases recently and has no time to take me to see you. Let's meet again after some time."
"I knew you couldn't bear not seeing me for so long, so you came to see me as soon as you had time, right?"
Shen Shuhao let go of her, not giving Lin Anyu any time to talk, and continued to talk to himself: "Have you solved the case? I knew that as long as you are here, the case will definitely be solved within 24 hours."
He looked at Pei Jingji and then at Lin Anyu: "You and Old Pei haven't eaten yet, come on, I'll treat you to a meal. My dad just transferred the living expenses to me, and I'm a rich man now."
Seeing how hurriedly Chen Shuhao was making arrangements, Lin Anyu was afraid that he would arrange her funeral affairs in the next second, so she immediately stopped him: "Wait, wait, wait..."
Shen Shuhao stopped and asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Anyu hesitated again and again, and finally decided to get straight to the point to avoid wasting time.
Lin Anyu: "Actually, Pei Jingji and I came here to ask for your help."
Chen Shuhao didn't notice that Lin Anyu was not right. He said righteously, "Lend me some money? How much do you want? Is one million enough? If not, I'll ask my dad to give my girlfriend an abortion and ask him to transfer some more money to me."
Seeing his "enthusiasm", Lin Anyu smiled awkwardly: "Do you often give your girlfriend abortions?"
Shen Shuhao didn't care: "How can that be possible? Those are just tricks to deceive my father. I am a people's policeman."
"That was in the past," Pei Jingji exposed him mercilessly, "Now you are just a flower shop owner."
"Go to hell." Shen Shuhao rolled his eyes at him unceremoniously.
Pei Jingji also had a good temper and was not angry about this. He spread his hands, looking helpless.
Lin Anyu smiled awkwardly.
"Boss, didn't you know this before?" After talking so much, Shen Shuhao felt strange, "Boss, you are weird today."
Did he find out?
No, she couldn't be exposed.
Worried that Shen Shuhao would not help him, Lin Anyu quickly memorized the "Song Luo Quick Guide" taught by Pei Jingji, which he had forgotten just after leaving the house.
Laziness, leadership, confidence, expressionless...
Yes, expressionless.
Lin Anyu hinted to herself frantically, then she looked up and stared at Shen Shuhao, with no emotion on her face: "Is it weird?"
Just two words.
Not only Shen Shuhao, but even Pei Jingji was in a trance for a second.
Shen Shuhao immediately gave in, as if she was worried that if he said one more word, she would twist his arm off.
Shen Shuhao waved his hands and said, "It's not strange, it's not strange. How could it be strange?"
Shen Shuhao: "Boss, what do you want me to help you with? I will do my best."
"I have a screenshot of a video here. I need you to help me draw this person," Lin Anyu reminded, "Be careful, when you draw, you must avoid the traces of aging."
Shen Shuhao took the printed photo from Lin Anyu, took a look at it, and immediately said, "That is to say, her current appearance does not match the appearance on her ID card, and the system can't find it, right?"
Lin Anyu nodded: "Yes."
Chen Shuhao carefully analyzed Jian Ying in the photo and said, "From the perspective of light and shadow, she is about 60 years old. For this group of people, the last age of renewal on their ID cards was 46. So, I only need to draw her at 46 years old."
When she first came in, Lin Anyu was worried that he wouldn't understand what she meant. As a result, she only said a few simple words and he understood what she meant. She is truly a professional.
"Yes," Lin Anyu replied quickly, "That's what I mean."
"Okay, give me a few minutes."
As he spoke, Shen Shuhao walked behind the front desk and casually took out a few sheets of A4 paper from the drawer.
He spread it out on the table, then opened an unexpected drawer and picked up a pencil at random.
Soon he was watching, recording, taking screenshots, and painting attentively.
While painting seriously, he did not forget to greet Lin Anyu. Without even looking up, he said, "Boss, sit down and rest for a while. I'll be back soon."
While he was talking, the pencil in his hand had already drawn the general outline of the head.
Lin Anyu took a glance and responded, "It's okay, I'll wait for you here."
As he spoke, Lin Anyu casually leaned his elbows against the front desk, then picked up the copy of Stray Birds which was as smooth as new.
She was reading a book leisurely while unconsciously turning the zipper head with her hand.
When turning the pages, she would put the zipper head in her mouth and hold it.
Compared with her, Pei Jingji was obviously much more casual. He wandered around the flower shop for a few rounds, then picked a rose and played with it in his hands.
When he was tired, he sat down on a chair and casually picked rose petals to play with.
After picking the petals, he didn't even know to put them away, letting the beautiful red petals scatter around him.
The entire flower shop immediately became very quiet.
After an unknown amount of time, a notification sound broke the tranquility of the flower shop.
"Welcome."
It was the door opening signal sound at the flower shop.
Almost at the same time, the moment the prompt sound fell, a breeze blew from the wide open door onto Lin Anyu's calves.
Feeling a little cold, Lin Anyu emotionlessly turned his eyes away from "The Bird's Nest" and then slowly raised them.
She has lively little deer eyes. When she is young and ignorant, she is well-behaved and cute. But when there is no emotion in her eyes, she exudes a sense of alienation as if she would kill any god or Buddha she meets.
Just like now, her eyes without any emotion were slightly raised, which made Gu Beizhi and Jiang Aichen, who were just about to enter the door, startled.
Without letting go of the zipper head in his mouth, Lin Anyu looked at them calmly for a few seconds.
Instantly, she was startled and her idle body stood up straight: "Captain Jiang!"
"Why are you here?" Jiang Aichen walked in, brows furrowed, and asked in a cold voice.
"Let's ask the master to draw a portrait for us." Lin Anyu said hurriedly.
"What are you doing here?" Pei Jingji, who was picking rose petals, looked up and asked casually.
Gu Beizhi replied: "After the interrogation, when we were sorting out the clues, we found that our police officers searched Beihai for a whole day and could not find the middle-aged woman who appeared in the hospital at the same time as the deceased."
"Captain Jiang and I suspected that she was not from Beihai. So we went to the search room and searched all the registered residents in the country, but we found nothing."
Pei Jingji listened quietly and added: "So, you suspect that she is not really absent, but that her facial changes affect the search."
Apart from being interested in corpses, Gu Beizhi had never seen Pei Jingji know so much about anything else. He asked, "Are you also looking for Shu Hao to paint her?"
Pei Jingji responded bluntly: "You are not the only one in the world who can think of this."
"Oh?" Gu Beizhi stared at Lin Anyu with interest, "Anyu also thought of it?"
"Yes." Lin Anyu said embarrassedly.
"My boss, is it difficult to find such a small clue?" Coincidentally, Shen Shuhao, who had finished drawing the portrait, stood up, handed the painting to Lin Anyu, and encouraged her, "Boss, don't be afraid, isn't it just Gu Beizhi? You can beat two of them alone."
Lin Anyu laughed dryly.
Can she beat both of them alone?
One of them can beat both of them.
Gu Beizhi did not refute, but just uttered a soft "huh".
Jiang Aichen stepped forward and held out his hand: "Let me take a look."
"Okay." Lin Anyu, who was looking at the portrait, quickly handed it over.
"Boss, don't be a coward," Shen Shuhao continued to encourage himself, "He is so arrogant, quickly remove his arm."
Lin Anyu: “…”
She can’t!
Just now, Gu Beizhi noticed Shen Shuhao's address: "Boss?"
Shen Shuhao: "Yes, otherwise I'll call you boss?"
Shen Shuhao quickly looked him over and said, "Don't you know how much you weigh? You think you can pretend to be someone else just by wearing a human skin? You old fox."
Gu Beizhi was not annoyed. He smiled and said, "Silly and innocent."
Shen Shuhao was so angry: "Who are you calling naive?"
"You." Gu Beizhi answered with full energy.
"You're calling me a fool on my turf," Shen Shuhao was so angry, "Gu Fox, don't even think about asking me to draw a portrait for you in the future."
Gu Beizhi continued to smile: "After not seeing you for a few years, Master Shen is still threatening people now."
"Not only will I threaten people, I will kill people."
Gu Beizhi: "Then do you know who she is?"
Shen Shuhao: "My boss."
Gu Beizhi replied calmly: "She is Lin Anyu."
Shen Shuhao was stunned for a second, and it took him a while to react and ask, "Did she change her name?"
Everyone at the scene: ...
Gu Beizhi coughed lightly and said, "You've got the wrong person. She's not Song Lue. She's Lin Anyu, the former Zecheng ace detective."
"How is it possible?" Shen Shuhao pointed at Lin Anyu's face, "Her face looks so much like my boss's."
"It's impossible that it's like that," Gu Beizhi continued, as if deliberately undermining Shen Shuhao's self-confidence, "Jiang Aichen has done DNA tests on her, as well as various fingerprint tests. I can tell you with certainty -"
"She is not Song Luo."
Shen Shuhao was stunned for a moment again. He turned around and asked Pei Jingji beside him: "Pei Gou, is there something wrong with the old fox Gu's mental state recently?"
"Pfft..." Pei Jingji couldn't help but sneered. He stood up and walked over, "Probably not."
"If he doesn't have any mental problems, why did he say that my boss is not Song Luo?" Shen Shuhao asked.
"Do you think it is possible that she is indeed not Song Luo?" Pei Jingji said implicitly.
"Are you crazy too?" Shen Shuhao cursed directly.
Lin Anyu: ...
Should she be touched?
Shen Shuhao suspected a group of people and felt that they all had some problems with their brains, but no one suspected that she was not Song Lue.
"Captain Gu, please explain to him. I have nothing to say to this idiot." Pei Jingji gave up decisively.
Gu Beizhi first explained a prerequisite: "She had plastic surgery."
Shen Shuhao looked at Lin Anyu's face carefully.
Lin Anyu leaned back in fear: "What are you doing?"
Chen Shuhao still didn't find anything unnatural about this face. He said, "Oh, did you do a nose job? It's quite natural. I, a person who specializes in studying human faces, didn't find it strange. It looks just like your mother's natural nose."
Lin Anyu: ...
Apart from the portrait, this person is really unmoved by anything else.
but.
She still had some things of her own to deal with, and she didn't want them to know that she was Song Lue for the time being.
Lin Anyu came out to explain: "No, you misunderstood. I have nothing to do with Song Luo. I am Lin Anyu, from Zecheng. My parents are now farming in a town in Zecheng. I also have a godmother who is now on a business trip in the imperial capital."
"Three years ago, I experienced a fire. I heard someone say that Song Luo rescued me from the fire. I have to ask my parents whether it is true or not." Lin Anyu said, "If you don't believe it, you can ask Pei Jingji. He has read all the test reports that Captain Jiang has done on me."
Pei Jingji closed his eyes and nodded quickly in agreement.
Just now, Shen Shuhao was sure that he had recognized the wrong person.
Shen Shuhao looked at Pei Jingji in disbelief and asked, "Pei Gou, that's not what you said when you came in just now!"
Pei Jingji spread his hands: "I didn't say anything, it was you who kept saying that the boss cared about you and would come to see you whenever he had free time."
"Besides, think about all the things you said when I walked in," Pei Jingji said, "You didn't even give me a chance to explain."
"There are so many things to say. Aren't the five words 'She is not Song Luo' enough for you to say?" Shen Shuhao said.
Pei Jingji immediately replied: "Mr. Shen, do you still remember what Gu Beizhi, Lin Anyu, and I explained to you just now?"
"We told you the truth. You either said we had some mental problems or we were crazy. Jiang Aichen, a mute, was so anxious that he was about to speak, but you still stood there in disbelief."
Chen Shuhao thought about it carefully.
That seems to be true.
He immediately tried to save his face: "Why did she have plastic surgery to look like Song Luo?"
Pei Jingji touched his nose unnaturally.
He really didn't know how to edit this.
Jiang Aichen said: "Because she had moderate burns on her face, she needed skin grafting."
Lin Anyu stared at Jiang Aichen in disbelief: "Huh?"
What the hell is he talking about?
"And then," Shen Shuhao gritted his teeth, "was it Song Lue's face that was implanted?"
"Yeah." Jiang Aichen replied.
"No, no, I didn't." Lin Anyu denied it immediately, fearing that Song Lue, her die-hard fan who could blow up the world for her at any time, would kill her on the spot.
Shen Shuhao grabbed Lin Anyu's collar angrily and said, "Zhi Lian is very happy."
As if he had anticipated something, Pei Jingji stroked his forehead and took a step back inconspicuously, fearing that this overwhelming hatred would affect him.
Sure enough, after a few minutes, a crisp sound came from the direction of Shen Shuqiu.
He covered his face and stared at Lin Anyu in disbelief, saying aggrievedly, "You hit me."
She actually slapped Shen Shuhao just now!
A steady slap!
Lin Anyu panicked for a moment. She explained in a panic: "I didn't mean it. Do you believe me?"
Shen Shuhao: "Do you think I believe it?"
I definitely don’t believe it.
Lin Anyu: "Listen to my explanation..."
Seeing the scene becoming more and more chaotic, Pei Jingji, who knew when to stay away, shook his head.
Do you really think that someone is no longer himself if he loses his memory?
Hasn’t the “core” been replaced?
He dared to grab Song Luo's collar, so being slapped was the lightest punishment.
Just as Pei Jingji was secretly sighing, Jiang Aichen, who had been silent all the time, was paying attention to him subtly.
Then he frowned slightly, as if thinking about something...
