Chapter 085 (Update 1)
Lin Shuyue ran all the way home, her clothes soaked with sweat, but it did not extinguish the excitement in her heart.
Lin Shuyang brought out the fish cooked by Lou Fengqin and was shocked to see Lin Shuyue sweating all over. "Second sister, why are you sweating so much? Didn't you drive?"
"I was so excited. I ran back here before the car was opened." Lin Shuyue held up the property certificate like a treasure, and raised it towards Lou Fengqin and the others with sparkling eyes: "I have a house now!!"
Lin Shuyue's words undoubtedly caused a huge wave in the peaceful home. They all knew that Lin Shuyue had a high salary and many bonuses.
The Security Bureau would send banners and awards from time to time. Lou Fengqin and the others knew that Lin Shuyue had a lot of savings, but it was still far from enough to buy a house.
As a mother, Lou Fengqin inevitably had many speculations. These speculations did not mean that she doubted her daughter. She had 100% trust in Lin Shuyue's character. She was afraid that Lin Shuyue would be cheated. There were many scammers out there. She also heard in the afternoon that an old man in the village spent more than a thousand yuan to buy health care products for the elderly, but ended up not getting better health and was hospitalized for food poisoning.
Lou Fengqin took the property certificate and turned it over and over in her hand: "Where is Xijiang Apartment?"
Lin Shuyue took out her camera and replied to them as she went into the house. The air conditioner was on and a cool breeze blew over her. Lin Shuyue squinted in comfort: "It's so hot, so hot."
Lou Fengqin also came in with the property certificate. Lin Shuyue pulled up the photos that Xiang Bingbing had taken today and showed them to Lou Fengqin: "Mom, our company is holding a celebration banquet today. There is a lottery at the banquet. The third prize is a motorcycle, the second prize is a large refrigerator, and the first prize is a house. I won the first prize."
Lin Shuyue's words were another huge thunderbolt, especially for Bai Wenhua and Lou Fengqin. Their first thought was whether there was a trap here. It was no wonder they thought so. It was the first time they saw a company giving away houses at a celebration banquet since they were young.
But there were photos in Lin Shuyue's camera. Xun Heng and Luo Qian in the photos often appeared in financial reports. Bai Wenhua and Lou Fengqin were familiar with them.
Then the doubts in my heart dissipated and joy surged: "Hurry up and eat, hurry up and eat, after eating, let's go see our Ah Yue's house together."
Bai Pingping and Zeng Xiaoyi cheered and hurried to serve the rice.
Bai Pingping knew about Xijiang Apartment. Qin Da had wanted to give her one, but she refused. She had lived in a luxurious villa and had lived in a roadside shack with Bai Wenwu and Qian Shouyun when she was a child, but in her life, this was the best and most secure house she had ever lived in. If possible, she would never want to leave here, but she knew that others were different from her. No one didn't want to have a house of their own.
She was very happy for Lin Shuyue, and she sincerely wished that those who were good to her would have good health for the rest of their lives.
The meal was eaten very quickly, and after the meal everyone took a car to Xijiang Apartment. Before leaving, Lin Shuyue saw Feng Suqing on the roadside. She was carrying Chaochao on her shoulders, and Chaochao was eating a popsicle in his hand. She was dirty, but her face was full of smiles.
The main culprit of the Great Sutra Wheel Sect was arrested, and she was safe. She did not return to her parents' home, nor would she return to Lu Shuli's home. She went to Lin Shuyue's home for help, and Lou Fengqin helped her send her child to a nearby kindergarten. After asking her wishes, she contacted her former co-workers and sent her to a nearby construction team.
She can now earn dozens of yuan a day, which is enough for her and Chaochao to live.
She is full of hope for the future.
She also saw Lin Shuyue. She smiled and nodded at Lin Shuyue. Lin Shuyue waved at her. The car drove away from her and she took Chaochao to the previous rented house. She is very satisfied with her current life.
·····
Xijiang Apartment is just opposite the Dingsheng Building. There is an underground parking lot under the apartment. The family can take the elevator directly to the 8th floor from the underground parking lot. The house that Dingsheng Group held for the lottery was Room 808 on the 8th floor, a very auspicious room number.
The group found Room 808. In front of the vermilion door, Lin Shuyue took a deep breath, took out the key, inserted it into the keyhole, and turned it lightly. The door opened. Lin Shuyue pressed the button next to the door, and bright lights illuminated the house.
On the left side of the door is the entrance hall. Under the entrance hall cabinet is a row of shoe cabinets about 1.2 meters in size, and above the shoe cabinet is a storage rack. There is also a row of cabinets on the right hand side and a white glass door. Push it open and you will see that this is a bathroom. It is small, only about five square meters, but it has a washbasin and a toilet.
Coming out of the bathroom, you will reach the living room. In the middle of the small living room, there is a set of off-white fabric sofas. A small long wooden coffee table is placed in front of the sofa. Directly opposite the sofa is the TV cabinet. Next to the TV cabinet, there is also a door. Walking in, there is a long L-shaped kitchen with a refrigerator and exhaust fan.
Coming out of the kitchen, there is a small staircase on the other side of the TV cabinet. Going up the stairs leads to the second floor, where there are two rooms and a bathroom. Compared to the downstairs, the bathroom upstairs is larger. Not only is it separated into dry and wet areas, it also has everything including a washing machine and a water heater.
Both rooms have beds and wardrobes.
There is a glass partition next to the sofa on the first floor. Pushing open the track door, there is a balcony. The balcony faces the Dingsheng Building. Below is a busy road. Looking further into the distance, you can see bright lights and flashing neon lights.
The family walked inside and outside, and Bai Wenhua checked all the circuits. He was relieved only after confirming that there were no safety hazards.
No matter what he wants to do, as long as it is good for the children, Lou Fengqin will let him do it.
She discussed with Lin Shuyue and Lin Shuxing who arrived later about what to add to the house. Bai Pingping and Zeng Xiaoyi cleaned the house with the broom and rag brought by Lin Shuxing.
Because there were no daily necessities here, Lin Shuyue had to go back to rest. Lying in bed at night with the air conditioner on, Lin Shuyue couldn't sleep. She got up, wrote about the orchard case, and sent it directly to Wang Mingzheng's email. Wang Mingzheng thought she had been out for a trip, traveling around and would write some travel notes about the mountains and rivers. Who would have thought that as soon as she opened her mouth, it would be about another murder case. Even these words alone are enough to constitute a shocking murder case.
Huang Qiang happened to be at his house, and the two of them drank a few cups. Wang Mingzheng showed Huang Qiang the laptop and said, "Look at your apprentice. I don't even know when he strayed from the rule of law."
Huang Qiang put down his glass and took a look: "This is not good. With this case, our newspaper's sales will not be a problem."
"That's right. This year, it's really all thanks to her." Wang Mingzheng said and sighed, "It's just that the family is a bit of a burden to her."
Her immediate family members have committed a crime, and it has also affected her personally.
"From our perspective, it will have an impact on her, but I think it's good for her to be a reporter in our newspaper. At least our President Xun can protect her. If she goes to another place, the competition will be fierce, the pressure will be great, and the gods and Buddhas behind her will be more powerful than the other. It's not a good thing for her with such a personality." Huang Qiang analyzed calmly.
Wang Mingzheng nodded and said, "You are right. Our sister Luo really likes her. She specifically told me to take good care of her. Ah Liu also admires her a lot. You drink first, I will send this article to the publishing house."
····
After sending the report to Wang Mingzheng, Lin Shuyue started a few games of CS and played a few rounds. She went to bed after satisfying her craving and replied to Hang Jiabai's text message before going to bed.
After a good night's sleep, the weather was fine the next day. Lin Shuyue gave the key of the apartment to Lou Fengqin. After Lin Shuyue went to work, Lou Fengqin went to the supermarket with Hang Jiabai and bought all the rice, flour, grain, oil and seasonings. Their supermarket is huge, with everything from pots and pans to utensils. A whole cart is filled to the brim.
Bai Pingping followed them, and the three of them spent a whole morning finally tidying up the entire house. Bai Pingping took a look and felt that something was missing, so she went downstairs. After a while, she came back with a large bouquet of flowers and several vases of special and unique styles. She filled the vase with water, cut the flowers with gardening shears, and put them one by one in the vase.
She had learned flower arrangement, and the flowers she arranged were particularly beautiful. Lou Fengqin saw them and praised them repeatedly. Bai Pingping was very happy, and her eyes curved into crescents.
At noon, Lin Shuyue rushed to Xijiang Apartment as soon as she got off work. Before leaving the company, she was asked to have a cup of coffee. Lin Shuyue agreed readily and said that she would arrange it in the afternoon.
Lou Fengqin was already preparing dinner. It was their first meal in the apartment and everyone enjoyed it very much. After dinner, Bai Pingping and Lin Shuyue lay down in one room for a nap, while Lou Fengqin and Bai Wenhua stayed in another room.
When Lin Shuyue went to work, they left too.
Lin Shuyue, together with the waiter from the cafe, brought two bags of coffee to treat everyone in the newspaper office.
Li Mingfang came to ask Lin Shuyue in the afternoon about the details of the Liyuan case. After listening to Lin Shuyue's narration, she looked satisfied and then strolled back to work.
In addition to reporting on the Liyuan case written by Lin Shuyue, today's newspaper also reported the house-giving away raffle at the Dingsheng Group's celebration banquet yesterday. Who wouldn't envy the employees of the Dingsheng Group after reading the newspaper? Which employee within Dingsheng Group is not working as hard as if he were injected with chicken blood? After all, it is a house in the center of Pengcheng City. Even if you don’t live in it, you can sell it for hundreds of thousands of yuan.
At two o'clock, Zhang Xiongfeng came with Yang She from the municipal TV station. After Lin Shuyue talked with them for a while in Wang Mingzheng's office, she took the funds specially approved by Wang Mingzheng and went to the shopping mall next door to buy a suit. At the same time, she hid in the dressing room and held a piece of Variety Candy in her mouth. They are going to Pengcheng Women's Prison to interview female prisoners.
The case to be interviewed was suggested by Lin Shuyue and selected after comprehensive evaluation by the Municipal TV Station and the Women's Federation. Because the Provincial Women's Federation is now promoting legislation on domestic violence, the case they chose this time is also about a man who was killed by his wife after committing domestic violence.
The criminal's name is Niu Qiaohe. She is in her thirties, very thin and about 1.5 meters tall. The prison guards had already told her in advance that the TV station wanted to interview her, and she cooperated with the arrival of Lin Shuyue and others.
The group met in an office arranged by the prison. After a brief conversation, Lin Shuyue began her interview, and Yang She held the camera and pointed it at them.
Lin Shuyue recalled the things she had seen in the car and asked Niu Qiaohe, "Were you afraid when you killed him and cut him into pieces?"
Niu Qiaohe nodded, then shook her head: "Of course I am afraid, he is not a chicken or a fish. But I am not that afraid, because if I don't kill him that day, I and my child will be the ones to die in a few days."
Niu Qiaohe's husband likes gambling. Niu Qiaohe has been married to him for ten years. She is the one who takes care of the family's fields. During the slack season, she has to go out to do odd jobs to earn money for her children's education.
"Before I got home that day, I heard him talking on the phone with the casino owner, promising to pay back the money. I knew he would beat me at night and use the money I earned from work to pay off his gambling debts. I have been paying off his gambling debts since I married him, and he still beats and scolds me. He also bought an accidental death insurance policy for me and my child, and he is listed as the beneficiary. Tell me, how crazy is he? I don't care, but my child can't die."
That night, Niu Qiaohe's husband fell asleep contentedly after beating her. Niu Qiaohe was covered in wounds but couldn't fall asleep. She took a hammer from the yard, came back and smashed her husband's head with one blow. She was not very scared at the time and calmly sent her child to her mother's home in the next village. After returning home, she chopped her husband's body into many pieces and threw them in different places. But within two months, she was arrested.
Niu Qiaohe's crime was too crude, and the police found it out easily. After comprehensive evaluation, the judge sentenced her to life imprisonment. She has been in prison for eight years now. At the end of the interview, Niu Qiaohe smiled and said to them: "My daughter came to see me the day before yesterday and said that her grades were very good and she ranked second in her grade. She showed me the test paper and it was 100 points. Very good."
At the end of the interview, the scene was fixed on her bright smile as she shared her daughter's grades with Lin Shuyue.
After the interview video was filmed, the subsequent production was no longer Lin Shuyue’s business. She had a meal with Zhang Xiongfeng, cameraman Yang and Wang Mingzheng before going home.
The next day, Lin Shuyue stayed at home for half a day, packed a lot of clothes and went to Xijiang Apartment.
In the afternoon, when Li Weisheng picked up Li Mingfang, he also picked up Lin Shuyue.
Grandpa Li Weisheng was hosting the birthday party at home. His house was a large European-style villa. It was not located in any villa area, but was built on land he bought in the suburbs. It covered a large area and was surrounded by mountains and rivers. The scenery was very beautiful, and there were many villa areas like his nearby. Next to his house, there is a bigger villa.
Li Weisheng said: "That's the home of Guangsheng boss."
Lin Shuyue only heard the name of Guangsheng boss Guo Bingchang yesterday, but she didn't expect to see his house today. Li Mingfang said "oh" and whispered to Lin Shuyue: "I was wondering why he said he could take the exclusive photo of Guangsheng's boss. It turns out he is his neighbor!"
Li Weisheng heard this and immediately defended himself: "That also took up a lot of my energy, okay? Do you think anyone can take a picture of it?
I told you, didn’t we say that we won’t talk about the past anymore? ”
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about it." Li Mingfang said perfunctorily. The two of them were arguing as if no one was around. Li Weisheng parked the car in the open space in front of his house and led the two of them outside.
His house was decorated early, with many balloons placed on the lawn in the yard. It didn't look like a birthday party for a 70-year-old man, but more like a birthday party for a 17 or 18-year-old girl.
It was the first time for Lin Shuyue and Li Mingfang to come to such a big villa, and they were overwhelmed by the sight.
Li Weisheng explained to Lin Shuyue and the others, "This birthday party was suggested by my cousin. She is only fifteen years old and she is the favorite of my grandfather. My grandfather praises her for everything she does."
Li Weisheng said this with a smile, and it was obvious that she also liked this sister very much.
As they were talking, the two were brought into the house. Four or five mahjong tables were set up in the living room, and everyone was sitting or standing by to watch the game.
Younger people were either playing games or watching TV in the sofa area. It was lively and down-to-earth. At least Lin Mingfang felt a little relieved.
Li Weisheng's mother knew that her son would bring his girlfriend today, so she waited there early. She treated Li Mingfang very warmly and obviously liked her very much. The two of them chatted with Li Weisheng. Lin Shuyue looked left and right, and finally went to the table where Wang Mingzheng and his friends were. He was talking on the phone with Huang Qiang, Mr. Li and a middle-aged man he didn't recognize.
Huang Qiang had already lost a lot, and when he saw Lin Shuyue, his eyes lit up: "Little lucky star, come and help me play a few games. I haven't won this afternoon."
Because Lin Shuyue drew the apartment in Xijiang, everyone in both the branch and the head office called Lin Shuyue a lucky star. Even this morning when Lin Shuyue just went to the office, many female comrades lined up to shake hands with her. The gay men looked at her with envy, but no one dared to take action.
Huang Qiang stood up after he finished speaking. Lin Shuyue wanted to refuse but couldn't, so she could only sit on it. At the first sight of this, Lin Shuyue was speechless.
With thirteen cards, I can't make a straight. Either the cards are equal, or they are sandwiched, or they are all wrong.
Huang Qiang was about to cry: "Ah Yue, I have been playing cards like this all afternoon. I haven't had a good time. If I keep losing, I will lose my salary. You have to work harder and help me win back the money I lost to those three."
Wang Mingzheng and the other two all laughed: "We've let you fool around so many times, but you still can't. How can you blame us three?"
The onlookers who were watching them play mahjong also said, "Old Huang finally won a hand, and we were all so happy as if it was New Year's Day. His luck was really bad today."
"How can you blame me? I want to win, but I've changed my position and the dice have increased in points, but I still can't win. What can I do?"
Lin Shuyue listened to them talking and drew a card, which was a twenty-thousand, which happened to be a sandwich card. She played out the four random cards on the side. In the second round, she drew seven and got eight or nine. All of a sudden, the people around looked at Lin Shuyue with strange eyes.
They all saw how bad Huang Qianggang's cards were this afternoon. Things had not been going so smoothly this afternoon. Lin Shuyue didn't care what others thought. She drew another card and had two pairs in her hand. The one played by the next player, Wang Mingzheng, just matched them. She got four cards in hand and was ready to play immediately. When it was her turn to draw cards, she caught the middle card of the Hu Liutong.
At this moment, everyone was convinced. After all, Huang Qiang's luck with cards was so bad that he couldn't even get a single winning hand.
In the following card games, Lin Shuyue was even more dominant, and she was just one card away from winning several times. That afternoon, the people who were watching Huang Qiang and his friends playing mahjong watched Huang Qiang lose in various ways in the first half, and in the second half, they were guessing how many rounds Lin Shuyue would have to win.
Lin Shuyue had good luck with cards in her previous life, but not to this extent. Lin Shuyue vaguely felt that this was the feedback this small world gave her after the things she reported and the people she saved.
The feeling was very subtle, but Lin Shuyue was sure it was so.
After playing for two hours, night fell and the dinner began. The mahjong table was moved away and replaced with a dining table. The bag Lin Shuyue brought with her could no longer hold the money, so she quietly put the money into the system backpack while no one was paying attention.
That night, there was always someone around Lin Shuyue. No matter if they knew her or not, they all came to Lin Shuyue's side and shook her hand. It was obviously the birthday party of Li Weisheng's grandfather, but it acted as if Lin Shuyue was the protagonist.
Li Weisheng's grandfather was in good spirits. He looked at the endless stream of people trying to get some luck around Lin Shuyue, and laughed and said loudly, "I want to shake the little girl's hand. What a good luck. Awang, are you convinced?"
The middle-aged man sitting next to him was the same middle-aged man who played mahjong with Lin Shuyue. He smiled and nodded: "You have to accept it."
This afternoon, no matter what kind of cards they were, they all played obediently in the girl's hands. This was the only time in Awang's life that he had seen such a person with such card skills.
The banquet ended at eight o'clock, and Lin Shuyue and her group were ready to go home. She didn't drink tonight, so she drove Wang Mingzheng's car back home. Wang Mingzheng, Huang Qiang and two other people from the newspaper's advertising department took her car back.
After the car drove out for a mile, Lin Shuyue suddenly smelled a strong smell of blood. Just as she frowned in confusion, a car came from the opposite side of the road. Its high beam shone into the ditch beside it, and the red color of the ditch stung Lin Shuyue's eyes.
With a "squeak", Lin Shuyue stepped on the emergency brake...
