Meng Wangda has not been to this street for some time, and since he gave this watch shop to his younger son Meng Yun, he has only been here three or four times, and he will not come. A manly man, he always has to stand up earlier to look like a man.

Today, the scorching sun came to the door of this clock shop again, and looked at the white-painted front of the door, but suddenly didn't recognize it.

 The white dove plaque written by an old man who is very good at calligraphy has long been removed and replaced by a row of hanging foreign scripts, surrounded by complicated and classical European patterns. Stand by a dove made of brass.

It is beautiful and foreign, and it blends perfectly with the tone of this foreign market.

But Meng Wangda didn't like this very much.

He was born in the fifth year of Guangxu, and his family was closely related to a governor of Guangdong and Guangxi at that time.

Later, when the naval battle broke out, Guangdong and Guangxi were in chaos, and the famous governor was inexplicably beheaded. Meng Wangda's grandfather was afraid of causing trouble, so he gritted his teeth and took his young and old to the north, to Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

However, neither his grandfather nor his father's generation could be considered a very useful person.

The production that has been brought by thousands of miles will be completely destroyed in just a few years. Before this was completely defeated, Meng Wangda was allocated two storefronts.

It was about the second or third year of Xuantong, and a new trend was coming, and industrial rescue was highly regarded by the people of the time. Meng Wangda had a lot of blood in his heart, and he was not willing to bury himself like this, so he sold some of his properties and came to Haicheng to start a business.

But in a place like Haicheng, various forces are intertwined, and it is easy to squeeze an extra foot.

Meng Wangda is a smart man with long sleeves and good dance skills. Although he has suffered a lot, he has suffered a lot, but he always makes a name for himself here.

"Fairy Wood"

Needless to say later, his fortune came, and he knew people with discerning eyes. When Yu Jing's footing was unsteady, he brought his whole body and decided to throw himself in the past. His net worth has doubled, and he is almost on par with officials in shipbuilding and soda making, making him a well-known business tycoon in Haicheng.

That is, for a period of time, he gave this clock shop to Meng Yun.

"master?"

Xu is that Meng Wangda stood for too long under the great sun at the door, which attracted the attention of the people in the watch industry.

The guy looked inside suspiciously, recognized Meng Wangda at once, and hurriedly greeted him: "Master, why are you free today?"

Meng Wangda retracted his gaze from looking at the signboard, and glanced at the guy who was greeted by the flattering crowd. The guy is the old man he sent to the watch shop, but he didn't wear a jacket, he changed into a cheap suit, and the board was standing upright. It looked like something.

"If you have nothing to do, come and have a look."

The copper wind chime by the door rang, and the man diligently led Meng Wangda in.

"Where's your third young master?" Meng Wangda looked left and right, except for this guy, there were no familiar faces, not even the masters who had been repairing watches for several years.

"You know, it's not even the end of the month, there are accounts to be handed in, and the third young master is reconciling the accounts in the building." The man replied, "Master, if you want to sit first, I will ask the young master to come down."

Meng Wangda waved his hand: "Go, I'll be busy with your work, I'll just go to the building to find the third child. Since I have a place, I don't need to come here and pay attention."

Saying that, he didn't wait for the man to react, then he lifted up his robe and went upstairs.

The guy tried to stop him, but he didn't. Although the third young master told noon that no one was to be disturbed and nothing to disturb, but at this time it was Meng Wangda, who was in his own place, when his father went to his son, he wanted to stop him. what stop.

Meng Wangda noticed the embarrassment flashed by the man, but pretended not to look at him, and went straight to the second floor.

He never doubted that Meng Yun, who has always been honest and honest, would have a ghost, but at this time, he had to think more.

The first floor of the watch shop is full of counters, and the second floor is a few rooms used for watch repairs, where some instruments are placed, and there are masters busy inside.

At the end of these watch repair rooms is an office with the door closed and quiet.

Meng Wangda clenched his fingers and raised his hand to knock on the door.

"Who?"

The door responded quickly, and a male voice sounded, with a little vigilance.

Meng Wangda said, "Me."

There was a muffled movement, and then the footsteps approached, the office door was opened, and a tall and thin young man about two came out of the door, his face revealed a bit of surprise and stunned: "Father, why are you here?" ?"

"I was doing some business here, and I was passing by, and I just wanted to come and see you. These days you don't even go back to the old house, and you don't even think about it. Your mother will blame me for letting you out." ‌."

Meng Wangda said casually, waved Meng Yun's blocked arm, walked into the office, looked around, came to the desk, and flipped through some piles of ledgers: "I won't do it two days earlier. When you do things, you have to hand them over to the house when the day comes, so you can just crawl, you—"

Meng Yun felt a little ashamed and bitterly said, "I don't want to either, Dad, I'm not busy with things before."

Meng Wangda raised his eyes and looked at his son, who had not been there for a while, and suddenly said, "You reconcile the accounts, and why are you locking the door?"

As if he didn't expect Meng Wangda to ask this question suddenly, Meng Yun froze for two seconds before saying, "It's not like you don't know, I'm easily distracted when I'm studying and doing things, and this is also about reconciliation. In this way, as soon as the door is closed, others will not disturb me, so I can turn my mind faster."

After a simple explanation, Meng Yun's words changed: "Dad, you are running around in the sun, but you must be too hot. You sit down, and I will pour you a bowl of herbal tea to clear the heat."

Said, Meng Yun stretched out his hand to help Meng Wangda and led him to the bench where he was entertaining guests.

Meng Wangda didn't refuse, and sat down with Meng Yun's wishes. When Meng Yun was walking back and forth, serving and pouring tea, he was also carefully observing this spacious office.

He originally came to test Meng Yun with a complicated mind, but as soon as he arrived, he found it strange, and couldn't help but suspect something. Looking at this office, he always felt that something was wrong.

But he didn't allow him to figure out what was wrong, so Meng Yun handed over the herbal tea.

Meng Wangda knocked on the lid of the tea bowl and asked, "I haven't returned for the past two months. What are you busy with other than schoolwork and watchmaking?"

Meng Yun said with a bit of embarrassment and embarrassment: "You didn't say that at my age, I should bring back a daughter-in-law for you. I have been fighting for your son for the past two months. Woolen cloth."

There was no trace of lying from Meng Yun's expression, Meng Wangda felt a little relieved, sipped herbal tea, and said, "You kid, look down on what your mother chose. If you want to pursue free love, how can you be in love?"

"How old are you, and who are you?"

When it comes to being a parent, can't help but ask.

Meng Yun said: "I am a teacher of a women's school. This year, I am also in business, but I am not in Haicheng, but in Jinling. I am in the book club with me. I knew each other, and I liked it very much, and after a few times, I had a relationship..."

Meng Wangda listened quietly, and there was a hint of relief on his face, but the corner of his eyes suddenly caught sight of the window sill in front of him, as if vaguely There is a gray-black mark, like a shoe print that was stepped on.

Rong Zong's moment, he quickly lowered his head and went down without a trace.

"Since you have a heart, you should treat others well, and when you have free time, you will bring it back to the place to have a meal together." Meng Wangda drank the herbal tea again, and felt The throat is full of sourness, "Calculate your account carefully, your father and I have something to do, so I won't stay."

After saying that, he stood up and made a gesture to walk away.

Meng Yun hurriedly got up and delivered it.

When approaching the door of the office, Meng Wangda suddenly stopped in his footsteps.

He turned around and pressed Meng Yun's shoulder, and said in a low voice like the chirping of a mosquito: "Son, do you...do you have anything you want to tell Dad?"

Meng Yun looked deeply into Meng Wangda's eyes, and his expression was startled, but Meng Wangda averted his eyes and looked back at the back of the bench where he was sitting just now. ‌There is a set of mahogany table and chair cabinets, tall and sturdy.

Meng Wangda felt the instantly tense and stiff muscles under his palm.

Meng Yun whispered, "Father, what do you know?"

Seeing Meng Yun's expression, Meng Wangda's heart suddenly cooled down.

He squeezed Meng Yun's shoulder tightly, and he was about to speak, but before he could say it, he heard a strange voice in the office: "Jiang Chengjun, why don't you keep your father and have another drink? Tea."

Meng Wangda turned his head suddenly and was looking at a limping man with a broken leg coming out from behind the cabinet, staring at him coldly and maliciously.

at this time.

Near Dove Watches.

A series of chaotic footsteps, Chu Yunsheng, Yu Jing, and a few men who were chasing a few bloodstains here, walked through the twists and turns of the alley, and came to the bottom of a tall old locust tree.

"Sir, that's where the blood is gone."

Liu Er, who was checking the surroundings, came over and said in a low voice.

Yu Jing looked down at the drop of blood that suddenly broke in the middle of the alley, then raised his head and glanced around the circle, and said, "What are the two people next door doing?"

Liu Er said, "They're all ordinary people. I've let the patrol room go in and search, but nothing happened."

Chu Yunsheng was also observing the bloodstains left on and off along the way.

Except for the center of the alley, there is no bloodstain on both sides of the piles of debris, the gray-black walls, and the tree trunks.

This is not common sense.

If it is said that the wound is treated at this time and the bleeding is temporarily stopped, but there is no more blood flowing here, after all, there will always be more bloodstains left when the bandage is in place. But if it wasn't dealt with, how could the bloodstain disappear suddenly? It wouldn't be the person who just evaporated in situ.

In other words, this person temporarily found something, covered the wound, and quickly fled into the place.

But there is no trace of him in this alley.

If it was him covering his wounds and then running to hide somewhere far away, it would not be true. He was shot in the thigh, and he has run so far. Even if his physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary people, he should have no strength, and it is impossible to go further.

"Could there be some of his accomplices here to meet him?"

After Chu Yunsheng guessed the two murderers in Fan Chengmei, Yu Jing first went to guess whether there was a second person here.

And that makes sense.

His accomplices came here to support him, covered the wounds, and carried him away quickly enough to let him escape a short distance without blood.

Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng took a few steps towards the street in the alley and asked Liu Er, "What houses or shops are there within 100 meters of this neighborhood?"

Liu Ergang had already walked around this area, had a cursory observation of these, and after a little thought, he said, "Except for the two families I just searched, there are two restaurants on the side, and one restaurant. A bank, a bank, a watch shop..."

"Watch shop?" Yu Jing looked sideways, "Which clock shop?"

Liu Er was stunned and said, "Boss Meng's White Pigeon Watch Shop."
