Chapter 203: Mystery Case〔4〕-Flower City Withers 0 (14)
As if he was afraid that the face in the photo was too small and that his statement was without basis, City Lord Zhu handed the photo to everyone to check for themselves.
The first one was the museum owner. She was speechless. What’s going on? Are you planning to make me self-destruct or something?
She sent it directly to Song Huanong without even looking at it. Song Huanong raised his eyebrows, took the photo and squinted at it for a while.
“As a low-level employee, I am busy with work and probably don’t know as many people as you do.
Even if I recognize him, I have mild prosopagnosia, so people who have rarely seen him would have no impression of him at all.”
As she spoke, she shook her head decisively and passed the photo to the owner Jiang across the street.
Mr. Jiang tilted his head, pondered for a moment, and spoke after a long while.
"This person...hiss~I seem to have some impression of him."
She held the photo, frowned and searched slightly, flipping through the script in her hand quickly to find the script.
Finally found it, said Mr. Jiang with sudden enlightenment.
“I know this, he is the boyfriend that the owner brought back before.
But it seemed that he didn't stay for long. It seemed that he had some conflict with his family, and left after a quarrel.
I heard from others that this boyfriend seemed to be a classmate of the owner's school, and he originally planned to meet her parents to discuss marriage matters.
But it seems that she only has that boyfriend until now, and she hasn’t found another partner since then.”
Speaking of this, everyone couldn't help but sigh, and the others couldn't help but become curious about what led to the quarrel with the museum owner's boyfriend.
"Can you tell me the specific reason?"
Detective Bai asked the owner of the museum, Xiang You, holding the photo in his hand. He actually wanted to eat melons too.
"This matter is very complicated and cannot be explained in a few words."
Detective White replied.
"Then just try to be as brief as possible. One or two sentences won't do. Three or four will do. We all have time anyway."
Everyone nodded in unison, as if they had rehearsed it in advance.
The owner of the museum was a little amused, and when he turned around and saw Song Huanong's sparkling eyes, he was even more speechless. e-(?д??)
If the script hadn't been written that way, as a person with social anxiety for more than half an hour, she really didn't like to tell her love story in front of others.
Even though it's not me, I feel like it's better than myself when I say it, and I get goosebumps all over my body.
"Well, this is the situation. My boyfriend is the only child in his family, and I want to inherit the family business.
In fact, the consensus of the family is that the spouse of the person who holds the position of the museum owner is directly married into the family.
If the owner of the museum was a man, it would be more natural for him to marry a wife, but I have the qualifications to compete for the position of owner. Not only do I have this ambition, but since I have become the next generation successor, there is naturally no need to shirk it.
You gossipers outside thought that my boyfriend had a quarrel with my family, but actually he was just quarreling with me.
The main idea of the quarrel was that he felt there was such a vast world out there and there was no need to confine himself to this small place and focus on this illusory position.
For me, this was my lifelong dream and I couldn't give it up, so we had a conflict and broke up.
All these years have passed, and I haven't heard from him. I guess he's got a wife and a daughter now."
The museum owner's tone was full of vicissitudes. In fact, looking back to now, she actually regretted it.
Although she had received a good education as a woman of the new era, she was imprisoned by her own thoughts all her life, wasting her life here.
All the lofty ambitions that were set at the beginning were nothing but empty words as everyone in Huacheng was united in abiding by the established rules.
After all, she had thought about finding other ways out over the years, but the city lord, who was the export, had a tight control over road transportation, and any flowers and plants that did not meet the requirements would have no chance of being transported.
"Well, your boyfriend is still thinking about you, and they are not actually married."
City Lord Zhu spoke from the side. She felt a little guilty, after all, she was aware of what Gardener Lin had done.
The owner of the museum turned around as she spoke and stared at her intently, as if she were a life-saving straw.
"A few years ago, a businessman came here. He said he was an old acquaintance of yours. However, he seemed to be feeling unwell at that time. He fainted just as he reached the city gate.
Gardener Lin and I rescued him and sent him to the hospital. The doctor said that he had a viral infection caused by fatigue, and the virus had penetrated into his bone marrow, so his condition was quite critical.
So before he could even enter the city, he was hurriedly taken away by his family.
When he was conscious at that time, he entrusted me and Gardener Lin with a letter, saying that he would pass it to you.
However, during that period, a group of families, led by your family, gathered together to strongly resist Gardener Lin's contract demands.
Gardener Lin agreed on the surface, but then he turned around and threw the letter into the trash can.
I couldn't bear it either, so I put the letter away and have kept it till now."
As City Lord Zhu was speaking, he saw that the gaze of the Pavilion Master was constantly changing.
If I were to use a novel to describe it, it would be one part sadness, two parts sarcasm, three parts excitement, four parts disappointment and five parts resentment.
The content is so complex that you can just draw a circular table.
"Where is that letter now? I want to see it now!"
City Lord Zhu looked down at her fingers, as if she could see flowers on her hands, and she spoke softly.
"It's in the interlayer of a book in the drawer of my study. I kept it very secret, so Gardener Lin hasn't found it yet."
"Should I thank you for keeping it secret? It's really ridiculous. If you had given it to me at that time, maybe I wouldn't have waited so long for so many years."
The museum owner found it more and more ridiculous, and couldn't help but imitate Song Huanong and directly retorted.
After being confronted by the museum owner, City Lord Zhu was speechless for a moment. In fact, she also felt that she was a little guilty about what she had done.
"Yeah, I know this is wrong, but City Master Zhu doesn't know.ヽ(?Д?)?"
As the hall owner looked at her, the voice of City Lord Zhu gradually became smaller, as if it was as faint as a mosquito.
"But he hasn't come back for so many years. Some things are really hard to say."
Flower farmer Song couldn't help but pour cold water on him, to which the museum owner smiled and shook his head.
"I don't know either, but I want an answer. Even though I was sorry for him at the beginning, I still have expectations for him. After all, he is the person I once loved."
Her eyes looked into the void with a bit of nostalgia, as if the man she loved deeply at that time was right in front of her.
Detective Bai and a few others just looked around and enjoyed eating the melon back and forth.
Although they don't have the ridiculous and unreliable part of recognizing relatives, this kind of ridiculous plot is so earthy, but it is really addictive and lovable!
"So after you finish this post, do you want to go find him?"
Inevitably, some people couldn't help but ask, and were brought in as if they were actually there.
The owner nodded. Of course, she was already prepared to go find him.
But in a fit of anger, I had already blocked and deleted all his messages, and thus lost contact with him.
"The world is so big, and we were able to meet, get to know each other and fall in love among 1.3 billion people.
But now to be honest, can I really meet him? I don't have much confidence, but I still want to give it a try.
Now, with this letter, maybe there is still hope.”
When the owner of the museum said this, she actually didn't have much confidence, but the desire in her heart was like a giant beast that had been suppressed for a long time and was about to break free from its cage.
If Tianyin said now that they could start the second round of evidence search, she would want to run directly into City Lord Zhu's room and search through it to find her letters.
After all, this was her hope for many years. Maybe Tianyin was the worm in her stomach. As she was thinking this, Tianyin started broadcasting the news.
"The first round of discussion is complete. Detective, please cast your first private vote."
Song Huanong couldn't help but speak, pointing her right hand at Mr. Jiang, and she blinked her eyes in confusion.
"I think she hasn't gone up to speak yet? Don't leave someone out like last time."
