above the point of the knife

Chapter 411 Visiting the door
"Brother Sen, I found out, it's the one in front, No. 25." Wu En trotted all the way over, reporting slightly out of breath.

"Well, take the present."

For the first visit, the etiquette must be thoughtful, even if it is some small gifts that are not very valuable, you still have to bring them.

So as not to be looked down upon.

Ring the doorbell.

"Here we come..." A four or five-year-old woman in a gray gown trotted over.

Seeing two unfamiliar faces outside the gate, the woman hesitated and asked, "Sir, who are you looking for?"

"Excuse me, does Mr. Taylor live here?"

"What are you looking for from our master?" The woman looked at Zhou Sen warily, which made him suspicious. Do you look like a bad guy?

"My name is Zhou Sen. I'm Mr. Bai's cooperative client. I came here to visit today." Zhou Se made a brief introduction. He was afraid that Bai Tailai would refuse to see him if he introduced himself as a member of the Special Affairs Department of the Police Department.

"Wait a minute, let me go in and report?"

"Okay." Zhou Sen nodded slightly.

"Zhou Sen, I don't remember such a person among the clients I work with?" Bai Tailai was resting in the living room not long after he came back from the company. Now that his daughter is not around, it is just him, his wife, a servant and driver.

He only has a small amount of property, and he is not considered a wealthy man in Bingcheng.

"Everyone is here to visit, so why don't you see it?" The wife listened and said directly.

"Several people?"

"One, but it seems to come by car, and there is a driver."

Anyone who can afford a car has a certain status in Bingcheng. Since he is a customer, Bai Tailai doesn't want to neglect him anymore, so he quickly got up and stood up: "Go to the gate, I will greet you in person."

The door opened, and Zhou Sen walked into the yard led by the maid, just in time to see Bai Tailai coming up to meet him.

Bai Tailai is also a person in the business field. When he first saw Zhou Sen, he felt familiar, but he couldn't remember where he saw him.

"Boss Bai." Zhou Sen clasped his fists together, "I'm taking the liberty to come here uninvited."

"Mr. Zhou is polite, please come inside." Bai Tailai was in a daze for a moment, and immediately made a gesture of "please come in".

Zhou Sen walked into the living room carrying two boxes of gifts.

"A little bit of meaning is not a respect."

"Mr. Zhou is too polite." Bai Tailai knew at a glance that the usual small gifts for visiting were nothing more than some snacks. After being polite, he put his hands down and asked the servant to take it.

"Mr. Zhou, excuse me for being rude, are you?"

"Boss Bai has never seen him before. It's only natural for me to ask this question. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Zhou Sen and I work in the police department."

"Zhou Sen, the police department..." Bai Tai said to himself, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he finally remembered why he looked familiar. The young man named Zhou Sen in the police department was not related to him. Is it the young husband of Bai Yulan, the owner of the Ningxiang Restaurant?

Why did this "Buddha" come to my home today? This Bai Yulan's fate has changed a lot since she married this person again. She closed the original Fengyue business, opened a tea house, invested in an opera stage, invested in a winery, and catering. That's what happened.

Legend has it that after Bai Yulan remarried, her life was changed, and this little husband was the noble person in her life.

In the past two days, I also heard that Bai Yulan gave birth to a pair of twins for this little husband, that is really a winner in life.

Bai Tailai's contacts are limited, and he is just a small businessman with some assets, with limited information channels.

Of course, I don't know how Bai Yulan turned over suddenly. Of course, it can also be understood that after Bai Yulan married Zhou Sen again, her fate changed drastically.

It's true that being with Zhou Sen changed his fate.

"Officer Zhou, I really don't know Taishan with my eyes." Bai Tailai hurriedly got up and apologized to Zhou Sen.

"Hey, Boss Bai, don't be like this. You can't write two white characters in one stroke. You and my wife are of the same clan, and we are half of the same clan. There is no need to be so polite." They stood up together and returned the greeting.

"Officer Zhou, what is your business here today?"

"Don't call him Police Officer Zhou, just call him Xiao Zhou, it's too natural." Zhou Sen said with a smile and shook his hand.

"Don't dare, don't dare."

Zhou Sen did not continue to apologize to him, the two sat down, and continued: "I am here today, there are two things, the first thing is related to myself, that is the sixth day of next month, my couple Twins of a dragon and a phoenix will hold a full moon wine, please invite Boss Bai and his wife to enjoy it together."

After speaking, Zhou Sen took out the invitation card and handed it over with both hands.

Bai Tailai was also surprised, then he reached out his hand excitedly to receive the invitation, opened it for a look, put it together and hurriedly said: "Thank you Officer Zhou for the invitation, someone Bai will definitely be there on time."

"Thank you." Zhou Sen thanked, and then said, "The second matter is related to a case I am investigating, and this case is also related to Ling Ai."

"Officer Zhou, our Yan'er left Bingcheng to go to school in other places for more than half a year, why is this related to the case?" Bai Tailai became a little anxious when he heard this.

"It's the case half a year ago, and now it's in my hands." Zhou Sen said.

"Then, doesn't that case have nothing to do with our family Yan'er, why is it never over?" Bai Tailai asked.

"Boss Bai, don't be nervous. I was just talking about the case, and Ling Qianjin was involved in the case without mentioning it." Zhou Sen explained, "This case is in my hands. I have to learn something anyway. There is no other meaning."

"So that's the case, Officer Zhou, you really surprised me." Bai Tailai said while rubbing his chest.

Zhou Sen smiled and continued: "There is some news, I think it is necessary to tell you that Wen Lin, Ling Qianjin's ex-boyfriend, committed suicide."

"What..." Bai Tailai was taken aback.

Zhou Sen observed carefully. When Bai Tailai heard the news, the reaction and expression on his face should not be pretending. It was subconscious and without thinking.

"Wen Lin's death is not a problem, but his suicide may have something to do with Ling Ai." Zhou Sen continued.

"He committed suicide, how does it have anything to do with my daughter?"

"Wen Lin and Ling Qianjin were boyfriend and girlfriend before the incident. I heard that your two families have exchanged posts and approved of this marriage, right?"

"It's a marriage, but the marriage is not yet settled. After all, the two children were still in school at that time, and they originally planned to wait for them to settle the matter after graduation. Who would have thought that such a thing would happen." Bai Tailai explained.

"Wen Lin had an accident, which made Ling Qianjin almost imprisoned. Later, Ling Qianjin came out, but Wen Lin was imprisoned in a correctional institution. A correctional institution is different from a prison. If you behave well and sincerely repent , you can regain your freedom, but you seem to be unable to wait for him to come out, so you are anxious to draw a clear line with him and resign from the Wen family, don't you?"

"Yes, Wen Lin is like that. I can't let my daughter continue to wait for him. Besides, if it wasn't for him, my daughter wouldn't go in and suffer that kind of torture. Of course, parents can't watch. I'll make the decision. Completely end this marriage."

"Did your love agree?"

"Of course she doesn't agree, and I understand. Young people, in a moment of enthusiasm, don't care so much for ideals and love. So, naturally, I can't let her go." Bai Tailai said.

"Haven't you ever thought that Wen Lin would be stimulated by your love's resignation, and then become mentally disturbed?" Zhou Sen asked.

"How do I know this? Besides, this kind of blow would make him insane. Isn't he too fragile?"

"However, after my investigation now, Wen Lin's insanity in the correctional institution has something to do with your aunt's resignation, and his suicide is more related to your aunt's empathy and engagement with others." Zhou Sen said, "Heart Frustrated, he chose to end his own life to put an end to his life and this relationship."

"This, this is impossible. After Yan'er came out, I sent her to Shanghai on the basis of my relationship. We only recently found out that she had a boyfriend in Shanghai, but it hasn't reached the point of marriage yet. ?” Bai Tailai stuttered in surprise.

"Boss Bai, are you sure Ling'ai hasn't secretly decided to spend her life behind your back?"

"This girl has a gentle temper. She doesn't even dare to step on ants to death. How dare she do such a thing? It's impossible. Besides, she told us that she has a boyfriend, so there is no such thing as a private lifelong appointment?"

"It makes sense to say so, but besides your husband and wife, who else knows about Ling'ai talking about her boyfriend?" Zhou Sen asked.

"This one……"

"Why, apart from your husband and wife, there are other people who know about this?" Zhou Sen was not surprised. If Bai Tailai only said that the couple knew about this, he would be surprised instead.

"It's a friend of mine."

"Friend, what friend?" Zhou Sen asked curiously, "Can you tell me about it?"

"Actually, he's not my friend, but my wife's friend. His name is Zheng Nan, and he's a tailor..."

When Zhou Sen heard Bai Tailai mention the name "Zheng Nan", he was surprised in his heart, but he didn't show it on the surface.

Hong Lianghui mentioned Zheng Nan, and Bai Tailai also mentioned Zheng Nan. Of course, Wen Lin took Bai Yan to Zheng Nan's "Old Fengtian Tailor Shop", so it's hard to say how they met.

But both of them mentioned Zheng Nan, who also knew that Bai Yan had talked about her boyfriend in Shanghai.

There are some unusual connections here.

As an outsider, how could he know such a secret family affair?
"What is your wife's relationship with this Zheng Nan?"

"She is my wife's cousin. She came from Fengtian two years ago and opened a tailor shop on Suidao Street. His craftsmanship is really good. If it weren't for being too young and not well-known, the business would be much better than it is now. too much."

"Is this Zheng Nan in contact with your family?"

"Come on, my wife likes cheongsams. Of course, besides cheongsams, he makes almost all the clothes at home. I also made a few clothes from him. They are really good, and I also introduced some businesses to him. " Bai Tailai said.

"Is Ling'ai going south to Shanghai also related to him?" Zhou Sen suddenly asked a question.

"It was his suggestion. We only have one daughter, and we really don't want her to leave us alone, and go to such a far place. However, we are also afraid that this case involves the 'anti-Manchurian Anti-Japanese War', What if someone finds out again..." Bai Tailai explained embarrassingly.

"You followed Zheng Nan's suggestion and sent Bai Yan to Shanghai, but you just sent your daughter to a strange place with peace of mind?"

"There's nothing to worry about. Leave her at home. She doesn't eat or drink, and she lost ten catties in half a month. If this continues, our husband and wife will have to send a white-haired person to a black-haired person." Bai Tai Come sighed.

Zhou Sen expressed that he could understand. At this time, if there is a solution, it would be like grasping at straws.

Temporary separation is far better than permanent separation as long as one lives.

"Are you related in Shanghai? Why did you think of sending your daughter so far away?" Zhou Sen asked.

"My company is in the business of trading. The goods like white sugar come from the south. Shanghai is a transit point. I have business partners I know there. I want to send Yan'er farther away. , Shanghai is an international metropolis, the prosperity there may make her forget everything here, if it wasn't for the business here, I would like to take my wife there with me." Bai Tailai said.

Although there was nothing wrong with Bai Tailai's explanation, Zhou Sen still felt that there was something insincere in his words.

He can stay and take care of the business, but his wife can accompany his daughter there. Just a precious daughter, how could she be willing to go to live in such a far away strange city by herself?

Of course, it is not ruled out that they cannot go, but a young girl who is so far away from home, as a parent, will never be so relieved.

Bai Tailai is not his prisoner, some questions cannot be asked in the tone of an interrogator, and this is the first time we meet, people don't want to say more, they are on guard, this is normal.

"On the sixth day of next month, I would like to invite Boss Bai and his wife to attend my two children's full moon wine on time." Zhou Sen got up and said goodbye.

"Definitely, definitely." Bai Tailai said hastily, people have sent invitations in person, he was afraid that he would lose face if he didn't go, not only going, but also a big gift.

How to give this gift, Bai Tailai is still a little embarrassed.

……

"Tailai, what is this Zhou guy doing here?" Bai Tailai came downstairs to meet the guests, his wife went upstairs in a sensible way, and she came down after Zhou Sen left.

Bai Tailai handed the invitation to his wife, and then briefly described Zhou Senlai's purpose to his wife.

"Ah, why is Yan'er involved?" Mrs. Bai's eyes were full of worry.

"I guess, the invitation he sent was just incidental, and maybe he didn't even intend to invite me to participate. The real purpose of coming for Yan'er's case." Bai Tailai said with a sigh.

"It's been more than half a year since this case, didn't you say it's closed?" Mrs. Bai asked worriedly.

"Who knows? I don't know what Zhou Sen means now. It doesn't sound like he has any malicious intentions, but I'm afraid he has other purposes?" Bai Tailai said.

"Could he be interested in our company?" Mrs. Bai covered her mouth and said.

A trace of haze flashed across Bai Tailai's face.
