Chapter 448 Script Killing 6 Sweetheart Dessert Shop
After Wenxi dragged Li Yu away, Liu Wangxue and the other four were left in the "basement". Du Yunkai and Tao Huayu also came over to the workbench and looked through the photos together, complaining as they went along.
Xu Qingsong looked through the list of "bad debts" again. The other names were randomly generated. They should be victims without any plot setting.
Exit the "Meilidai" program and open the hidden folder.
There is a video in the folder, and it can be judged that it was secretly filmed based on the shooting location. The location in the video is a private room of a restaurant. There is a nameplate in the center of the round table with the words "Sweetheart Restaurant" written on it. The man and woman drinking at the table are the "Laboratory" and "Sweetheart Nail Art".
"That unnecessary second floor of the restaurant?" Liu Wangxue recalled the staircase diagram on the wall next to the front desk. He tapped the screen and teased Xu Qingsong again, "You have a real fetish. It's not enough to take pictures of your own girlfriend, you also have to secretly take pictures of other young couples."
Xu Qingsong retorted from the character's perspective: "It's different. Taking pictures of your girlfriend is called pleasure, but taking pictures of others is definitely for the purpose of obtaining evidence."
Liu Wangxue called out to Du Yunkai who was still looking at the photo: "Boss Du, he took a secret photo of you."
Tao Huayu and Du Yunkai gathered in front of the computer together: "This pervert will never stop."
Then in the secretly filmed footage, "Sweetheart Nail Art" became drunk and confused, and "Laboratory" took out a piece of paper from the bag beside him, with the four big words "Employment Contract" printed on it. He stuffed the pen into "Sweetheart Nail Art"'s hand, coaxed her for a few words, and "Sweetheart Nail Art" signed.
Liu Wangxue looked at the shooting date on the upper right corner of the video, which was 20:25 on September 10, 1943. She said to Du Yunkai, "You really made an appointment that night. Alas, Xixi would be furious if she saw it. She was tricked by you into signing the contract."
"Of course we have to hold on to talents, how can we let them go?" Du Yunkai smiled and patted Xu Qingsong again, "But why are you patting this?"
After the video finished playing, Xu Qingsong turned it off and said, "I guess you and I know each other. After all, you and my girlfriend have a partnership. It's normal for me to monitor you when you come to eat at my place, but this video should be a bomb. I should be saving it to explode someday."
Du Yunkai thought for a moment and said, "That makes sense."
In addition to the video, there is also a test report from an authoritative organization. The product sent for inspection is a complete set of skin care products, which are exactly the ones produced by the laboratory. The results show that the skin care products contain excessive hormones or heavy metal ingredients. Short-term use can indeed make the skin achieve a refreshing effect, but long-term use or discontinuation will cause skin problems, which is very likely to cause serious facial ulcers.
"It's really a black-hearted laboratory that makes dirty money." Liu Wangxue looked up at Du Yunkai and continued, "It seems that Miss Lin's face was ruined by plastic surgery and skin care products."
After reading this report, there was nothing else. Xu Qingsong looked at the time and said, "We have finished searching here. Let's go out and summarize the information."
"good."
Wenxi and Li Yu were sitting and chatting in the lobby. When they saw the four of them coming over, they asked, "Have you finished watching?"
Li Yu was still very curious: "What's inside?"
Tao Huayu pulled the chair next to him and sat down: "It's nothing, kids, don't be curious."
Li Yu curled his lips.
Everyone sat down around the octagonal table, and Wenxi, Du Yunkai and the other three first talked about their discoveries in the boss's office.
The first thing I found was a "flip phone" with chat records about debt collection. There were two people in charge of debt collection, one named Zhang Da and the other named Wang Er. They took their brothers and went to talk to the borrowers, to their homes, their workplaces, and other places where they could "run into" them.
Many borrowers were forced to either recruit downline employees or do other illegal things. Some ended up losing their families and leaving only the restaurant owner to say, "Tsk, another bad debt."
They also found the secretly filmed video on the computer on the boss's desk. Tao Huayu asked Xu Qingsong: "Guess who was secretly filmed?"
"Who is it?"
Li Yu said: "It's Jiang Feifei!"
They found the email records between the restaurant owner and an anonymous mailbox. The records showed that starting from the beginning of June 1940, whenever Jiang Feifei ate with others at the Sweetheart Restaurant, regardless of whether they were men or women, their photos would be secretly photographed and the photos would be sent to this mailbox.
In addition, there are email exchanges with a doctor named Zhao from the plastic surgery hospital, which further confirms the connection between the hospital, the beauty salon and Meilidai.
Wenxi said: "This is like an industrial chain."
Then Tao Huayu shared the information he got in the beauty salon with everyone. Xu Qingsong and Liu Wangxue supplemented it with the content of the "basement" and explained who the "Ms. Lin" who committed suicide by jumping off the building outside was.
After hearing this, Wenxi, Du Yunkai, and Li Yu gave the same evaluation as Liu Wangxue did at the time: "Evil men and bad women, working together for evil."
Xu Qingsong argued on behalf of Liu Wangxue: "Logically speaking, you are also a victim, but you love me, so you are willing to do this for me."
Liu Wangxue disagreed: "Conscience! What kind of love can erase the existence of conscience? So in the final analysis, I am not a good person."
The others nodded vigorously: "Indeed!"
Liu Wangxue looked at Wenxi, Du Yunkai and Li Yu across from her and said, "Tell me what you found in the dessert shop. We just saw the loan record of Dessert Sister in the basement, and it showed that she had passed away."
Xu Qingsong continued: "The records show that her last repayment date was two months ago, so we concluded that she passed away two months ago."
"No," Li Yu said, "My sister passed away in 1939. She committed suicide by cutting her wrists in April 1939."
The three of them organized the information they obtained in the dessert shop in chronological order and told Liu Wangxue and the others.
The dessert shop brother and sister were poor students from the countryside. In 1928, their parents died in a car accident. After that, they were able to continue their studies with the help of their uncle's family. In 1930, the sister was in the first year of high school and the brother was in the second year of junior high school. The brother and sister, who had excellent grades, suddenly received financial support from a kind-hearted person.
The siblings wrote a thank you letter to the kind-hearted person and received a reply of encouragement. In this way, the siblings learned that the kind-hearted person who sponsored them was named Liang Bojun and was studying for an undergraduate degree at a top university. So, the top university became the goal of the siblings.
In 1933, her sister got the admission letter from the top university as she wished. Liang Bojun was already a graduate student of pharmacy at the university at that time. He was very happy to know the news and planned to continue to support her and helped her pay the first year's tuition.
In addition, Liang Bojun also gave her a living allowance, but she refused. She worked during the summer vacation and saved some money, which was enough to support her life. She said she would do part-time jobs in the future - parents are eager to hire students from top universities to be tutors, so she is confident that the money she earns is enough to support herself and her brother.
The younger brother's grades were not as good as his sister's, so he didn't get into the top university, but because his sister was there, he applied to another university in the same city. After that, the brother and sister saved money together, and their lives gradually became more affluent, and they could even develop their personal hobbies.
My sister fell in love with desserts, so she bought ingredients and taught herself how to make them in the old and shabby house she rented. She then brought the ingredients to school for her friends to taste, and her friends helped spread the word, and she developed some customers.
Graduated from university in 37 years, it stands to reason that a top student from a top university should not have trouble finding a job, but my sister failed in interviews again and again. After being rejected in another interview, my sister heard some discussions about her in the bathroom, which were nothing more than some ridicules about her appearance. For example, "Hiring her is equivalent to lowering the overall appearance level of the company", "What's the use of having good grades and outstanding abilities, she is still ugly", "This is a society that values appearance, you should have plastic surgery before going out to meet people", etc.
Li Yu said: "After she passed away, I found her space diary when I was sorting out her belongings. She said that she always knew she was not good-looking, but that was all she knew. After that interview, it was the first time she looked in the mirror and criticized herself. From then on, a thorn was quietly stabbed into her heart."
My sister's friend had some spare money at home. She was a free-spirited person who had no interest in working. She wanted to open a dessert shop with my sister. Her parents paid for it and my sister contributed to it. But there was only one thing: the dessert shop had to be opened in her hometown - the one on Sweetheart Street.
This is like starting a business. The elder sister was unsure, so she sent a message to Liang Bojun to ask for his advice. Although the siblings no longer needed Liang Bojun's financial support, they did not break off contact with him. Liang Bojun would still care about the siblings, and sometimes they would talk to him when they encountered problems or were undecided. They regarded Liang Bojun as a benefactor and role model, and even looked up to him in life.
Liang Bojun was already working at the Sweetheart Laboratory in the south of the city. After hearing about it, he took time out to go to Sweetheart Street in the north of the city. He told his sister that the development here was quite good, with complete street infrastructure, large traffic, and not many dessert shops. He also ate the desserts made by his sister and thought her craftsmanship was good, so he told his sister that she could try it if she wanted.
So my sister came over and opened this dessert shop with her friends.
The business was indeed good. The store was not big, but because it was a small city, the rent was not expensive, and the decoration did not cost too much. In less than half a year, they not only recovered all the investment, but also made a profit. At the same time, my sister also met a friend of a friend through Liang Bojun and fell in love for the first time in her life.
It was this relationship that directly dragged her into the abyss.
Wenxi said: "From the information found on my sister's phone and computer, we can piece together that this man was not with her because he liked or admired her. He was just playing this purely as a game."
He always casually brings up topics related to appearance and never belittles my sister. He just finds qualities in other beautiful girls that my sister doesn't have and praises them.
For example, his sister has single eyelids. After a dinner with friends, he sent a photo to his sister and said, "My buddy's girlfriend, why do I feel like her double eyelids are artificial? You know what, they are more natural than the ones you put on tape, and their eyes make them look bigger and more lively."
For example, if his sister doesn’t have bags under her eyes, he would post a screenshot of a video and say, “My friend said that this kind of bags under her eyes are so cute, but it doesn’t matter if you don’t have them, you’re still cute in my eyes.”
After talking about all the parts of the face, the next thing is the body. My sister has a flat chest, so he sent me a private couple photo and said, "I want to take this kind of photo with you, but it's a pity, I definitely can't take a photo like this where the breasts overflow from my fingers, I can cover them all with one hand, hahahaha".
Arms, collarbones, waist, hips, legs, there was no part that had not been touched by him.
My sister's friend is a beautiful girl, and he sometimes compares them with each other.
Finally, under his influence, the thorn in the sister's heart grew bigger without her noticing, hurting her and her friends.
When she started going to the plastic surgery hospital for double eyelid surgery, the man knew he had succeeded.
Things started to go out of control. My sister had no time to care about other things and had one operation after another. The dessert shop that was originally running well also began to go downhill, and finally my sister and her friend parted ways.
The man was rich, so he bought the shop and gave it to my sister, then broke up with her on the grounds that she "preferred natural products."
At this point, my sister thought she couldn’t keep him because she wasn’t pretty enough.
She was increasingly dissatisfied with herself and spent all the money she earned from the dessert shop on various beauty and body projects, but it was far from enough. After being recommended by an old customer, Sweetheart Nail Art Mama, she downloaded "Meilidai".
Du Yunkai praised Xu Qingsong and said, "You are quite smart as a money lender. You even turned the loan into a 'member invitation system'."
This city is quite far away from the top 1 university, and my brother has to work part-time during the holidays, so since my sister came here, the two siblings can only reunite during the Spring Festival.
The Spring Festival of 1938 was one of the few happiest moments in my brother’s memory. His sister was successful in her career, and he was about to graduate. It seemed that a bright future was within reach.
During the Spring Festival of 1939, the younger brother came to see his sister and dropped the gift in his hand. He could hardly recognize the person in front of him, whose face and figure had completely changed. He could feel that his sister had emotional and psychological problems, but his sister repeatedly emphasized that it was caused by the breakup and asked him not to worry.
After the Spring Festival, the younger brother returned to the city where his university was located. One afternoon in April, he suddenly received a call from Liang Bojun, saying that his sister had committed suicide.
With the help of Liang Bojun, the younger brother dealt with his sister's funeral. When sorting out her belongings, he found that her face was completely destroyed due to a medical accident and she was deeply trapped in the quagmire of loans. Tracing back to the source, the younger brother believed that the culprit for all this was his sister's boyfriend. However, even if he investigated, it was at most a moral issue and not illegal.
Liang Bojun felt both guilty and regretful, and sent a message to his brother, saying that he should not have brought his friends to his sister's dessert shop, otherwise they would not have met each other and such tragic consequences would not have occurred.
The debt collector came to the door and asked the younger brother to mortgage the store to pay off the debt. This dessert shop was the beautiful future that the sister had imagined. The younger brother was reluctant to give it up, so he sent a message to Liang Bojun asking him to lend him some money first.
It was at this time that Liang Bojun learned about the "Meilidai" incident. He transferred some money to his brother and asked him to appease the debt collectors first and protect his own safety. He then told his brother that such loans were illegal and he should call the police. Liang Bojun also knew that his brother was about to graduate, so he asked his brother to concentrate on his thesis and said that he would take care of the matter and asked his brother not to worry.
After my brother returned to school, the two of them contacted each other several times, all about the progress of the case. Liang Bojun's work in the laboratory is very busy, and it is not easy for him to take time out to deal with these things. My brother is very grateful to him.
Li Yu said: "It's very strange. I returned to school at the end of April. I kept in touch with Liang Bojun in May and June. However, since the beginning of July, I have not received any response to my messages to Liang Bojun."
Xu Qingsong asked: "What was the content of Liang Bojun's last contact with you?"
Li Yu replied: "He said he was sorry. He said my sister's case might not have any result. Besides that, he transferred a sum of money to me, about 200,000 yuan, so that I can live a good life in the future."
Wenxi said: "We guessed that this case was too difficult."
Liu Wangxue looked at Xu Qingsong and continued, "The beauty salon, plastic surgery hospital, and laboratory have mutual interests, and you have the first two lines in your hands. You also have some handles on the laboratory. The list we just looked at, such a huge group of victims -"
Xu Qingsong continued: "It's impossible that no one called the police."
Tao Huayu: "It's probably like Liang Bojun calling the police on behalf of his sister, but nothing happened."
What could be the reason? You have watched many dramas, so you don’t need to guess.
Li Yu broke the silence and said, "There is something particularly strange."
My younger brother came here directly after his graduation ceremony. He has decided to continue running his sister's dessert shop. Since all the recipes his sister researched are still there, he will start from scratch and make sure to get the shop back in business.
After returning, the younger brother contacted Liang Bojun again, but the messages he sent still fell on deaf ears, and even the phone call was unreachable. So he went directly to the laboratory to find someone. Liang Bojun had helped them so much, but he had not yet thanked him properly. In addition, the younger brother also wanted to return the 200,000 yuan to Liang Bojun, but he did not know his bank card information and could not transfer it back directly.
Then I learned that Liang Bojun had resigned.
The younger brother was very confused. How could such a good person just disappear from the face of the earth? He remembered that his sister said Liang Bojun had a girlfriend. He wondered if he could find Liang Bojun through this girlfriend. He went home and searched through his sister's belongings, but could not find any information about this girlfriend, so he had to give up.
After that, the younger brother found a job on Sweetheart Street, where he learned how to make pastries while working, and at the same time had to save money to pay off his sister's loan.
Li Yu said: "At the end of 1940, I reopened the dessert shop, and one day, I suddenly met Liang Bojun."
That evening, a lady came to the dessert shop and bought two portions of fruit pudding to take away. After buying it, she did not leave, but sat at a seat near the door, as if waiting for someone.
After a while, a man in a three-piece suit walked to the door and waved to the lady through the glass. The lady immediately picked up Pudding and walked out, holding his arm and leaving together.
The younger brother saw clearly that the man in the suit was Liang Bojun! He chased after him without thinking: "Wait a minute——"
Liang Bojun and the lady next to him, Jiang Feifei, turned around together. Jiang Feifei thought the owner was calling her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Yu recalled the contents of his brother's diary and said, "The way Liang Bojun looked at me at that time was completely like the way he looked at a stranger, and there was a hint of malice in it."
The younger brother swallowed the question he was about to ask, took out a stamp collection card from the pocket of his apron and handed it to Jiang Feifei, smiling and saying, "I forgot to give you this. The store has just opened and there is a promotion. If you collect ten stamps, you can get a box of egg tarts for free."
Jiang Feifei took it and thanked him with a smile.
"Welcome next time." After saying that, my brother waved to them and turned back to the store.
"Then what?" Liu Wangxue asked.
Li Yu said: "I couldn't suppress the doubts in my heart, so every time Jiang Feifei came to the store, I would always find an excuse to chat with her, wanting to make friends with her and then ask about Liang Bojun."
The younger brother did get closer to Jiang Feifei. He learned that Jiang Feifei had been a housewife since her marriage. Every time he asked her about Liang Bojun in a roundabout way, Jiang Feifei would answer him with "He is a very good person" and "He treats me very well".
Seeing that he couldn't find out anything, the younger brother wanted to contact Liang Bojun through Jiang Feifei, but Liang Bojun was very defensive and he couldn't get close to him. And as long as Jiang Feifei was not around, Liang Bojun would not hide his disgust for his younger brother.
Tao Huayu frowned: "Why is this happening? Did he lose his memory in the car accident? And then his personality changed drastically?"
There is no answer for now.
At this point, the information from both sides was summarized, and everyone looked at the "Character Plot Completeness" on their watches.
Wenxi’s is still 80%.
Du Yunkai's percentage became 60%. He said to Xu Qingsong, "It should be the product test report in your computer."
"Mine is actually complete, 100%." Liu Wangxue looked at her own and said in surprise, then grabbed Xu Qingsong's hand to look at his, "90%."
Xu Qingsong guessed: "The rest should be the forces behind me?"
Everyone nodded: "It is very likely."
Li Yu has reached 90%: "Then what is the remaining 10% for me? Is it to find out why Liang Bojun's personality changed so drastically?"
"It should be."
Tao Huayu said: "Now only mine has made no progress, still 0."
Liu Wangxue held her chin with one hand and tapped her cheeks with her fingers: "Five of our six characters are related to each other, but none of these five people are related to you."
Xu Qingsong held Liu Wangxue's other hand, played with her fingers, and looked at Tao Huayu: "And along the way, there is not a single clue pointing to your flower shop."
Du Yunkai also looked at Tao Huayu: "Your identity——"
Wenxi replied: "There is a problem."
Li Yu slammed the table and stood up: "'No clues' is a clue. Don't guess, just go ahead and turn his flower shop upside down. I don't believe we won't find anything!"
"walk!"
