Chapter 65 Phoenix Golden Hairpin (Second update) After the wedding, not much changed. Shen Manzhi counted his recent residence with his fingers.
Jingwei, Mingguan, Fengqiao County, Lanwan Sea Scenic Area, Qinjia...
Beautiful, you can stay here on a rotating basis from Monday to Friday.
So she specifically chose a weekend night to go to the second-floor balcony of Bianshu Centenary Huating Villa, lie on the old-fashioned chair with a cashmere blanket, crossed her long legs, and lit a cigarette.
Holding a slender cigarette between her white fingers, she tapped the phone a few times with her thumb and sent an encrypted email.
The woman's eyelids are half lifted, and the ends of her eyes are long and narrow, smeared with a bit of charm, and giving off a hint of desolateness.
A temperament unique to her.
Shen Manzhi slightly bent his index finger to light a cigarette and shook it into the ashtray beside the small table. He pictured a golden phoenix hairpin in his mind.
A few hours ago, Mingguan.
Shen Manzhi carried two bottles of fruit wine up to the second-floor attic, while Lu Zhe sat cross-legged on the floor covered with blankets and played stand-alone games.
Finally waiting for someone to come, he quit the game and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time."
The boy's flamboyant red hair turned back to black at some point, making him look even more surly.
There was no countertop to put things in the small attic. Lu Zhe picked up a stack of photos from the ground and handed them to her, "She sent them to me a few days ago. I printed them out for you."
Shen Manzhi sat on the sofa and leaned back, reading each picture very perfunctorily, as if the contents were all expected.
If Qin Yanfeng had questioned her with the photo that night, he would have definitely seen that it was exactly the same photo that Qin Yanfeng received in an unknown email.
Still too timid.
Lu Zhe leaned against the edge of the sofa, resting his elbows on it, a little aloof, "She said she also sent it to your... person."
Shen Manzhi didn't take it seriously, threw away the photo, and said lazily, "Stupid."
"There are also recordings." Lu Zhe took out the recorder from his pocket. "She came to me again this week and asked me... to find a way to get a larger one."
In fact, the truth is hard to hear. He didn't say it, and he really didn't understand why half-sisters who grew up together would be so malicious towards each other.
He was curious and asked the man a few more questions.
"She got so carried away when she was talking about it that she revealed a secret to me, saying that she sold something six months ago and said that if she can't get it, you can't get it either."
Shen Manzhi looked slightly cold, "What is it?"
Lu Zhe frowned, "A phoenix golden hairpin, she said...whose relic it is, she didn't make it clear, but I vaguely understood what it meant."
Pure gold filigree phoenix hairpin.
She had seen it earlier in the attic of the Shen family that was now in ashes.
On one page of the photo album, Zhan Yunqing is wearing a Chinese dress, a pair of phoenix gold hairpins, and a Xiuhe fan, looking back with a charming smile.
Shen Manzhi's whole body exuded a cold aura, "Do you know who you sold it to?"
Lu Zhe breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he asked a few more questions.
"She said there was a pawn shop in Huaicheng, but she didn't say which one specifically. This thing is valuable, and I don't know who can get it after half a year."
Shen Manzhi touched her pockets, but there was nothing. She was a little irritated, opened a bottle of wine and got up and went downstairs, "I'm going to do something first. Please pay attention to the transfer messages on your phone."
"I don't want money, can't you take me to play with you?"
Lu Zhe lazily followed her, smiling mischievously.
Shen Manzhi drank half the bottle and said slowly, "What are your specialties?"
"Exceptionally handsome."
Shen Manzhi leaned against the bar, looked back, looked him up and down calmly, and slightly raised his chin towards the people on the stage.
Lu Zhe looked away from the five-person group on the stage, with a sincere expression on his face, "Don't you recruit people based on their looks?"
Shen Manzhi smiled leisurely, less than his eyes, "Even if it is, what advantage do you have if you go in?"
"..."
sad.
Seeing Lu Zhe's speechless expression, she touched his bottle with her hand, as coldly as ever, "Thank you for your cooperation, go back and study hard."
Shen Manzhi walked to the door, put the empty wine bottle on the counter, put his coat in his pocket and went to the store behind the square to buy something, and then walked into the alley for a few dusk in winter, the dim light slowly floods the streets and alleys.
The soft and simple erhu echoes in the alley.
She lifted up the old cotton and linen cloth and pushed open the wooden door of the small courtyard. The old man was wearing old round-framed black glasses, sitting on a wicker chair and holding the moonlit night.
It has quite the artistic conception of white moon and clear breeze.
Shen Manzhi leaned under the ancient tree in the yard and clapped his hands symbolically after listening to a piece of music.
Chen Gui stretched out his head and pulled down his glasses, revealing a pair of shrewd eyes. He could see clearly that the person under the ancient tree did not seem to be very welcoming.
He casually wiped off the rosin powder on the edge of the piano tube and said in a long, muddy voice, "It's out of stock recently."
Shen Manzhi straightened up and walked inside, "Help me find something."
He quickly put on the erhu and chased him in. He stopped buying anything, which was strange.
"what is this?"
She looked around at the newly hung gadgets in the shop and turned back, "A pair of phoenix gold hairpins, sold at a pawn shop in Huaicheng half a year ago. They are old items."
"What's the approximate price for it?"
Shen Manzhi compared the numbers.
There was obvious surprise in Chen Gui's eyes, "At this price... I can only ask for you."
"It's not about asking," Shen Manzhi said with a strong attitude, "It's about finding the pawn shop and the person who bought the pair of gold hairpins."
Chen Gui was frustrated, "I don't have the ability to reach heaven, how can I find it with you..."
The phone on the counter vibrated. He unlocked it and opened it. The notification bar showed that *** made 20 yuan.
"Advance payment."
Money can make all the difference. The old man enthusiastically wrote down the order, "Describe it."
Shen Manzhi came to her senses and felt a slight burning sensation on her fingertips. She hooked the ashtray and threw the cigarette butt away.
The courtyard lights downstairs turned on in response, and Bian Shu glanced at the balcony on the second floor, as if he was an outsider.
A few minutes later, he leaned against the balcony door, really puzzled, "What's the matter with you? You have to climb over the wall if you can't go through the front door?"
Shen Manzhi looked at him harmlessly, "Your villa is too big. It takes a long time to walk up to the second floor through the main entrance, which is a waste of time."
Bian Shu sneered, "Yes, last time my neighbor called me in the middle of the night and said there was a burglar in the house. I asked her to be considerate of my friend who has special quirks."
Shen Manzhi glanced away and said nothing.
Bian Shu unhooked the watch on his right hand and asked, "It's so late. What can I do?"
Shen Manzhi picked a candy from his pocket and said, "There have been changes in Huaicheng recently, and there will be a lot of people involved."
Bianshu walked to the railing outside the balcony and leaned against it, "I read the report Jingmo handed over. Did you mess with Sanquan?"
She bit the candy in her mouth, "It should be under investigation."
Bian Shutou said, "Whenever he moves, half of the leadership circle in Huaicheng will change positions."
Shen Manzhi lay on the chair and smiled at him, "So I went out to avoid the limelight and left at night."
Bian Shu dialed a number and said ruthlessly, "At No. 98 Centenary Huating, someone broke into a private house."
"Three springs don't move, and half the circle is rotten."
Bian Shu clicked his tongue and turned off his phone, "This matter is very difficult and there is no need to rush it."
"Si Ji will make arrangements and I'll be back when I'm done."
Bian Shu nodded, "What has Jingmo been doing lately? Sometimes I can't get in touch with anyone."
Shen Manzhi smiled slightly and said, "Being entangled by the rich young master."
The side book was uninterested, "It is difficult for heroes to deal with beauty, and it is even more difficult for beauties to deal with love."
The woman's voice was somewhat gentle in the night, "It's not certain who the hunter is."
