I was just playing tricks, how come I became Bai Yueguang

Chapter 373 Murderer



Chapter 373 Murderer

"Knock Knock-"

Jiang Huashan was lying on a soft chair looking at her phone when there was a knock on the door behind her. Without thinking too much, she subconsciously thought it was Zhang Ru. Without even raising her eyelids, she answered, "Come in."

The door opened, and after waiting for a while without hearing Zhang Ru speak, she looked up.

Shen Guiling was half leaning against the door frame, the moonlight falling on the ends of his half-dry hair like a bright veil.

Jiang Huashan was stunned for a moment, then immediately climbed up from the soft chair, "You...why are you here?"

Shen Guiling slowly stood up and walked into the room without saying a word.

"What?" Jiang Huashan's alarm bells suddenly rang, and she shrank back against the soft pillow.

Shen Guiling walked closer, lowering her brows, her gentle eyes filled with a charming shimmering light.

"Were you at the bar last night?"

Jiang Huashan twisted her neck and said, "No, don't try to accuse me without any evidence."

Shen Guiling raised her eyebrows and took out a black hairband with a pink bear pattern from her pocket.

"No evidence?"

Jiang Huashan's face changed slightly, and she started to grab without saying a word. Shen Guiling had seen through her thoughts and raised his arm to bypass her hand.

He whispered, "I've recovered all the surveillance footage from that night. You were still wearing this little bear hairband on your wrist when you entered the bar through the back door at 10:10 PM. At 15:00 AM, the police station received a report of a gang fight, and this little bear hairband was found at the scene."

"..." Jiang Huashan raised his eyes and spread his hands, "Okay, I admit, I just took the opportunity to punch her."

Shen Guiling turned around and sat down on the sofa next to her, tilting her shoulders and looking at her. "I just reminded you, I restored all the surveillance footage from that night."

Jiang Huashan's expression changed slightly and she rolled her eyes at him.

So, hackers are really annoying! There is no privacy at all.

Seeing that she was still not going to confess, Shen Guiling stood up and said, "In that case, let Grandpa..."

"Hey hey!" Jiang Huashan jumped up from the sofa like a cat with its fur standing on end, grabbed Shen Guiling's arm and dragged him back to the sofa.

"wait."

Without saying a word, she turned around and ran into the study, taking out two pages of bookmarks from the encyclopedia with ease.

After two years, Shen Guiling had become immune to her trick and lowered his head to pull back his shirt.

Seeing that only two thin pages were left in the thick stack of bookmarks, Jiang Huashan hesitated for a moment before reluctantly tearing off a page and handing it to Shen Guiling, "Promise, keep it secret."

Now she finally understood what it meant to be not afraid of itch even though there were a lot of lice. In the past two years, Shen Guiling had learned at least eighty of her secrets.

Shen Guiling glanced at her and raised his hand, their fingertips keeping a distance of 0.01 points.

Jiang Huashan pretended not to know and let go of her hand. Shen Guiling smiled and sat back, lowering his head to play with the pink bear.

"What were you looking for last night?"

His tone was a little casual, as if he really didn't care.

But if you don't care, why would you ask?

"..."

Jiang Huashan's expression changed. Although she was a little panicked, she still secretly encouraged herself in her heart.

It’s okay. Even if Shen Guiling watched all the surveillance footage, he might not be able to guess what she was doing.

"Last night, you took advantage of the chaos and sneaked into the staff's operation room. You searched through the freezer, the raw material area, and even the trash can."

Shen Guiling studied Jiang Huashan's expression as he spoke, his tone firm, "Fourth Uncle's bar has been open for less than a month, and you've been there twenty times. Are you investigating him?"

"What are you investigating him for? You even checked the warehouse. Do you suspect there's something wrong with the bar's goods?"

Jiang Huashan's eyelids twitched.

You really can't underestimate this green tea turtle at all.

After her sixteenth birthday, she and Fu Suier kept watch over Shen Jiao in fear, fearing that something unexpected would happen again. It was not until she safely passed her seventeenth birthday that the two finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But just a few months ago, Shen Che invested heavily in a bar. The Shen family has a wide range of businesses, and Jiang Huashan didn't care at first. But the bar's trial operation room was suddenly renamed Chao CLUB, which scared her.

In his previous life, Fu Jiaming also opened a bar that was known as a trend-setter for young people. It was called Chao CLUB.

The reason why she remembered even such a small matter was because Chao CLUB was later closed down for suspected drug trafficking. The incident caused a big uproar at the time, and students from most areas of Jinggang were involved. Later, Fu Jiaming shifted the blame to the bar's general manager and kept himself out of it.

So Jiang Huashan started to review the situation again.

In the previous life, the reason why Shen Jiao died in disgrace was, firstly, because of her debauchery and indulgence in lust, and secondly, because she was involved with drugs. It was just too much of a coincidence that the bar run by Fu Jiaming was also involved in a drug trafficking scandal.

In this life, Fu Jiaming was eliminated early. Logically, all the plots related to him would be deleted, but the drug trafficking bar still appeared.

For this reason, Jiang Huashan thought about it for a long time and came up with two possible explanations.

1: The bar just has the same name and has nothing to do with the trendy CLUB in the previous life.

2: Fu Jiaming is not the behind-the-scenes boss of the bar. The real boss has always been Shen Che.

Considering the number of times he has fought against the Gate of Drama, Jiang Huashan is more inclined to the latter because this explanation is more perfect and has no loopholes.

If this assumption is true, then the possibility that Shen Che is a traitor is very high.

To prove whether the two bars are the same, the most powerful evidence is whether Chao CLUB is trafficking drugs?

So she tried every possible way to collect evidence from the moment the bar opened. It wasn't that she didn't want to delegate the task to others, but the rules of the show were too restrictive. If she wanted the plot to not be forcibly revised, she had to do everything herself.

God knows how tragic she felt when she was rummaging through the trash can.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Shen Guiling pinched her brows. "You investigated Shen Qian when you were sixteen, Shen Yuan when you were seventeen, and now you're investigating Shen Che before you're even eighteen. After investigating Shen Che, are you going to investigate Shen Rang next? What exactly are you investigating?"

I originally thought that Jiang Huashan was only wary of the second house, but I didn't expect that she was wary of the entire Shen family.

Jiang Huashan waved her hand and said, "Don't worry about it. Just keep it a secret for me."

Shen Guiling raised his eyes and looked at her.

"..." Jiang Huashan didn't want him to notice anything, so she immediately turned her head to look at the stained glass window.

Her shoulders were very thin, and her collarbone was faintly visible in the gap between her sides.

Shen Guiling stood up with his eyes lowered, gently sweeping across her slender white neck.

"You're not going to exchange the last condition for another hundred promises, are you?"

Jiang Huashan was stunned, feeling a little guilty. "How is this possible? Am I such a person without a sense of contract?"

Shen Guiling smiled, put his palm through the bear rubber band, looked down at the time, and said, "Go to bed early." After that, he put his hands in his pockets and turned to leave the room.

Jiang Huashan frowned. What did that smile mean?

correct!

Her little bear hairband is still in the turtle's hand.

Jiang Huashan stood up and prepared to chase downstairs, but suddenly remembered something and sat back down.

No, Shen Guiling now is not as easy to talk to as he was two years ago.

His heart rate is very dangerous now.

……

During the summer vacation without academic pressure, even the 39-degree sun is bright.

"Ah~~~"

Jiang Huashan floated on the water with his head tilted back, yawned lazily, and stared blankly at the clear blue sky above his head.

The clouds in the sky were blown by the wind, changing their shapes in the blink of an eye.

In order to distinguish this life from the previous one as much as possible, she learned to swim after she turned sixteen. After learning, she completely fell in love with this sport. In the summer, when she had nothing to do, she basically soaked in the swimming pool.

Fu Suier sat by the pool, kicking at the reflections in the shimmering water out of boredom. "Others are trying to steal your military advisor away, why are you still so carefree?"

Jiang Huashan closed his eyes, looking serene. "What? Is Gu Yuzhu here again?"

Ever since Old Lady Gu came to visit, Gu Yuzhu brought Lan Dai to Shen Garden to find Shen Mianzhi every few days. Shen Mianzhi couldn't refuse due to etiquette.

Gu Yuzhu was a lively person. After strolling around the garden for a few days, she felt bored and took the initiative to invite Shen Mianzhi to go shopping and play with her sisters.

Although the noble ladies of Jinggang are all in the same circle, not all of them can play together. Everyone has their own small group.

For example, Gu Yuzhu, she gets along well with Su Yun, and relatively speaking, she doesn't like Su Miao, who is at odds with Su Yun. As everyone knows, Su Miao has a better relationship with Jiang Huashan, so Gu Yuzhu's sisters don't have much contact with the daughter of the Shen family.

That time at the bar, Shen Mianzhi's performance impressed Gu Yuzhu. After several contacts, she found that Shen Mianzhi was considerate, humble and polite, and Gu Yuzhu gradually began to want to make friends with her.

Later, when I went out to play a few times, I specially called out all the sisters I was close to.

Gu Yuzhu's small group consists of old-school aristocrats from Country A, who have no problem with eating, drinking, and having fun. Shen Mianzhi is the legitimate daughter of the Shen family, so everyone gives her face and they get along very harmoniously.

After playing for a few days, everyone in Gu Yuzhu's circle treated Shen Mianzhi as one of their own, and Shen Mianzhi never defended herself from this.

In the past two days, Gu Yuzhu came more frequently, bringing not only Lan Dai but also Su Yun. Because she was good friends with Su Miao, Fu Sui'er instinctively disliked Su Yun. Just now, when she went to find Shen Mianzhi, she happened to see the four of them sitting together for afternoon tea. She was so angry that she turned around and left Chunyuan.

Fu Suier became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He kicked the water hard and splashed it. "What's wrong with Zhizhi? Doesn't she care about what Yuzhu is planning? She's still chatting and laughing with them."

Jiang Huashan squinted at her. "What are you so angry about? Are you saying that just because we're good friends, Zhizhi can't make new friends?"

Fu Suier thought about it and realized that this was the truth. He jumped into the pool with a splash, swam to Jiang Huashan's side and broke out of the water.

Jiang Huashan turned her head to avoid the splashes, kicked her long legs, and her graceful figure glided across the shimmering water. Fragments as fine as gold spread infinitely from under her body. Even though Fu Sui'er had seen it countless times, he was still amazed by the scene at this moment.

The two of them soaked in the pool for a while before climbing onto the air mattress to rest their eyes. The poor little thing didn't like swimming, so it lay on its belly by the pool, basking in the sun.

The chirping of summer cicadas quickly lulled them into sleep.

*

A health club just outside the wall.

Shen Lanxi, Shen Guiling, and Shen Qingyu pushed the door open and walked out of Xiaohei almost at the same time.

Shen Zhuang was enjoying the cool air under the pavilion, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan. "Not bad, not bad. All your health data have met the standards, and your antibodies are stable. It seems you haven't neglected your grandfather's teachings at school."

The three of them looked calm. After five years of being abused without restraint by Shen Zhuang, they had developed a will of steel. Now, the test in the small dark room was not difficult for them at all.

"Come, come and sit."

The three of them filed into the pavilion and sat down around Shen Zhuang.

Shen Zhuang looked at the three of them one by one, his eyes shrouded in mystery. "You've all grown up now. If Grandpa still holds you back, it would be unjust and unethical. From now on, Grandpa won't be in charge."

"..."

The three people had different expressions, and no one knew what they were thinking. Their eyes looked in different directions without knowing what they were thinking.

*

As the sun set, Jiang Huashan and Fu Suier were woken up by the cold and hurried back to the garden to change into clean clothes.

When Zhang Ru heard that Jiang Huashan had been soaking in the pool for another afternoon, she quickly made her a large pot of red date and ginseng tea, chattering incessantly.

"Don't do this next time. It's only the beginning of summer and you're already trying to stay cool. What will happen in August or September?"

"You must finish this tea. You are still young now. When you grow up, especially after giving birth, you will know that women cannot afford to catch a cold."

"Yes, yes, yes." Jiang Huashan held the hot tea in her hand, listening in one ear and out the other, thinking that in this life, Aunt Zhang was even more nagging than Aunt Feng.

In the evening, Shen Zhuang heard that Jiang Huashan used the swimming pool as a hot spring, and immediately asked Shen Zhi to expand the health club into an indoor constant temperature swimming pool.

Shen Jiao was not vague either, and specially invited a famous Chinese medicine doctor from Jinggang to come to treat her.

Jiang Huashan originally thought that everyone was making a big deal out of nothing, until her period suddenly came to visit, and then she realized the seriousness of the matter.

Not only did her period come early, but on the first day her abdomen felt like it was hollowed out and she was in excruciating pain. In order to avoid being laughed at, she gritted her teeth and lied to everyone that she was sick.

After suffering a lesson, she immediately learned her lesson. She took medicine when Zhang Ru asked her to and took a bath when she asked her to. After three days of cooperation, she finally recovered.

It just so happened that someone from the Gu family sent someone to say that everything was ready at the holiday villa and they would set off tomorrow.

Jiang Huashan was not very interested at first, but since Lan Dai would also be going this time, she was worried that she would miss some new plot, so she had no choice but to persevere.

*

On the other side, Bai Tina was so angry that she almost lost her mind.

Just now, she learned that the National Police Agency of Country A attributed the main cause of the fight to her provoking trouble, and the mainstream media of Country A even portrayed her as a vicious princess who was arrogant and disregarded the law. Because of this incident, the Military and Political Academy proposed to re-examine her admission qualifications.

"How ridiculous! All these untouchables in Country A are birds of a feather!"

Bai Mi looked at the mess on the ground and said sarcastically, "I told you long ago, this is not Country S. Rushing around won't work. Use your brain for everything."

"Shut up!" Bai Tina glared at him. "I haven't even said anything about you yet. You're so shameless. As a prince, you have to call everyone "sir" when you meet them. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

Bai Mi sneered, "You'd better think about how to explain this to Grandmother."

As soon as he finished speaking, the phone in the room suddenly rang.

Bai Tina's face turned pale immediately. Bai Mi smiled happily and turned to walk out of the room.

"Your Highness, your letter."

"Letter?" Bai Mi hesitated slightly, took the letter from the guard, and suddenly stopped.

The letter contained a line of words pieced together from newspaper:

- [The murderer who killed His Majesty Bai Zhengmian was Jiang Huashan]
