Something Happened in Weiyang Palace
Chapter 471 Something Happened in Weiyang Palace
"I'm getting married," Jiang Xutong suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, both Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng looked on with confusion.
Only Shen Yanzhou remained remarkably calm, so calm that he seemed indifferent to her: "So?"
“You’ll be my host,” Jiang Xutong said.
Shen Yanzhou remained silent.
Su Miaoyi could see a hint of death on his face.
Shen Yanzhou was silent for a moment before asking, "Where are you?"
“I’m at Weiyang Palace,” Jiang Xutong said. “What? You want to see me before my wedding? Are you trying to win me back? Are you coming? I’d better put on some makeup first.”
Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng looked at each other again.
Weiyang Palace?
But there was no one in Weiyang Palace.
The surveillance cameras in Weiyang Palace only show Jiang Xutong leaving, not her returning.
Are you lying?
The two looked at Shen Yanzhou.
Shen Yanzhou gave them a look, telling them not to rush and to wait a little longer.
“I’ve contacted the mental hospital; I’ll pick you up from Weiyang Palace in a bit,” Shen Yanzhou said.
Aren't you coming?
"Why would I go? I'd rather never see you again," Shen Yanzhou said. "I'll have someone sell Weiyang Palace right now and live with you. I'm worried I might be poisoned. What if you poison me? You're capable of anything."
Jiang Xutong laughed: "So, I want my ex-boyfriend to officiate my wedding."
"You still remember I'm your ex-boyfriend? I thought you didn't," Shen Yanzhou said. "Should I host your wedding to thank you for the special invitation?"
"You're welcome," Jiang Xutong said.
Shen Yanzhou hung up the phone again.
Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng continued to watch him quietly.
Five seconds later, Shen Yanzhou called again: "I remember you had a bracelet."
"Hmm. You mean the one your family passed down from your ancestors?" Jiang Xutong said. "What? You want to go back?"
Su Miaoyi's face remained expressionless.
Her family has a lot of things passed down from her ancestors.
When she was in kindergarten, she even received it as a gift for the other children.
The parents were so frightened that they sent the child back overnight, not daring to let him stay.
The next day, she gave it to the person again, telling them to keep it safe.
And that was the end of it; the things just disappeared.
“You’re getting married soon, of course I have to take it back. It’s from our ancestors,” Shen Yanzhou said. “Give me an address, and I’ll have someone come and get it.”
“Come and get it yourself,” Jiang Xutong said.
"I'll personally send you back abroad, you believe me?" Shen Yanzhou's patience had run out. "Get to the point. Stop dragging things out."
“When we broke up, you never thought about going back,” Jiang Xutong said.
"I remember now. Give it to me." Shen Yanzhou said coldly.
"Shen Yanzhou, you don't still like me, do you? You're so excited to hear I'm getting married," Jiang Xutong said.
Shen Yanzhou was so angry he laughed, and didn't want to say anything more: "Address."
“I’ll give it to you if you come and get it yourself; otherwise, I won’t take the bracelet out,” Jiang Xutong said.
"Address," Shen Yanzhou asked again, emphasizing the word.
"Weiyang Palace, upstairs from you." Jiang Xutong said, somewhat annoyed. "I told you I'm in Weiyang Palace. This is my only place to live. Where else would I live if not in Weiyang Palace?"
“What if you’re filming a movie?” Shen Yanzhou said. “Who knew you’d be so free, and become washed up so quickly that you’re no longer getting roles?”
"You're the one who's washed up." Jiang Xutong's voice was a little angry. "Remember, if you come in person and I don't see you, I won't give the bracelet to anyone else."
"Okay, I'll call a delivery person."
Jiang Xutong hung up before Shen Yanzhou could finish speaking.
Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng looked at the people in the technical department next to them: "Have you located it yet?"
The tech team shook their heads: "Her phone has tracking blocking software installed; we can't locate her."
"Can't you even pinpoint the approximate area?" Su Miaoyi asked.
Xie Zhiyan's phone call could at least pinpoint a general area. How come Jiang Xutong's phone couldn't even pinpoint a specific area?
Is he even more amazing than Xie Zhiyan?
The hairs on Su Miaoyi's arms stood on end.
If that's the case, that's terrifying.
"Weiyang Palace," Shen Yanzhou said. "I'll go there now."
“Together,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.
"I bought breakfast for you," Shen Yanzhou said. "Eat it in the car. The rest is for the other people in the bureau."
Zhuang Yanzheng had Qi Feng take the breakfast away.
“You drive your car,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “The two of us will stay in the back. Let Brother Zheng take the men to Weiyang Palace via another route.”
"Row."
Shen Yanzhou drove to Weiyang Palace.
Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng were in the same car.
It's not very far, only a ten-minute walk.
The wind has died down now.
The wind blew all night yesterday, and now the roads are being cleared.
There were fallen trees, billboards, and even more tree branches, which were scattered everywhere.
Halfway there, Su Miaoyi received a call from Xi Xian: "Awake so early?"
“Yes,” Xi Xian said. “My uncle and aunt have a relative who is hospitalized, so they took Cheng Jue out early this morning. I was bored at home, so I came to Weiyang Palace.”
"And then?" Su Miaoyi asked.
I can't just call her because I'm bored, can I?
“Then I’m going to report it to the police,” Xi Xian said.
"What case should we report?" Su Miaoyi asked.
“I’m standing at the entrance of our residence in Weiyang Palace right now,” Xi Xian said. “I can smell blood coming from Shen Yanzhou’s residence, a very strong smell of blood. Don’t worry, it’s not Shen Yanzhou.”
Su Miaoyi wasn't worried about that, because Shen Yanzhou was driving.
“It’s not Shen Yanzhou’s smell, it’s the smell of a stranger,” Xi Xian said. “It should be a man, with a lot of bleeding, and the blood is almost dried up. The heating in the room has been on the whole time, so this smell means he’s been dead for about forty-eight hours.”
“We’re on our way to Weiyang Palace, we’ll be there in about three minutes,” Su Miaoyi said. “My brother is with me too. He hasn’t been back to Weiyang Palace lately, so why would there be someone there?”
“I don’t know about that,” Xi Xian said. “I was standing at the entrance on our side and that’s what I smelled. I don’t know anything else.”
“Okay, we’ll talk when we get there. Don’t go over there yet,” Su Miaoyi said.
“The person died at Shen Yanzhou’s place, so he’s a prime suspect,” Xi Xian said.
Su Miaoyi took a deep breath: "I know. Xixian, can you smell the smell upstairs?"
"Wait a moment."
Su Miaoyi couldn't hear her footsteps.
Xi Xian's footsteps were always very light.
But I could tell she went upstairs.
“There’s no one upstairs,” Xi Xian said.
"Nobody's here?" Su Miaoyi asked in surprise.
"It seems like no one has lived here for two or three days; the smell is very faint now," Xi Xian said. "What's wrong?"
"I'm almost there, let's talk when we meet." Su Miaoyi hung up the phone and called Shen Yanzhou. "Brother, Jiang Xutong isn't here. But there's a body at your place. You really have to cooperate with the investigation."
Shen Yanzhou remained silent for a long while.
After Zhuang Yanzheng had already contacted Yan Cheng, Shen Yanzhou said, "I told you you should wear red long johns in your birth year. Look, this is the consequence of not wearing them."
"Brother, are you alright? Why are you talking nonsense? This isn't your birth year," Su Miaoyi said.
Goodnight everybody.
It was supposed to end this month.
But once again, the calculation was wrong.
It will take until next month to write.
But I really feel like there aren't many left.
good night
