Detective: Open your eyes, I am handcuffed in the interrogation room.

Chapter 567 Brother Chen!!!

Today, Jiang Fanlei personally delivered the invitation letter for three days later. The date was chosen on the weekend to take everyone's time into consideration.

At that time, many business people and official leaders will attend to witness the opening of the Lake Island Hotel.

Time flies, and time really passes quickly. Chen Yi feels like it was just yesterday that Jiang Fanlei said he had bought the lake island, and today the hotel has been built.

"Let's go, go back and do your thing."

At the gate of the Municipal Bureau, Jiang Fanlei waved to Chen Yi and prepared to get in the car and leave.

He came alone, without Zuoqiu Anqing.

Seeing that Zuoqiu Anqing was really not in the car, Chen Yi stopped Jiang Fanlei and said, "Wait a minute."

Jiang Fanlei stopped and looked back: "What's wrong?"

Chen Yi: "Let's talk more."

Jiang Fanlei came over and asked in confusion: "What are you talking about? Didn't we just finish talking about it?"

Chen Yi took out a cigarette case: "It has nothing to do with the lake island, it's about Zuoqiu Anqing."

After returning from Linqi Village in Ningcheng, he did not tell Jiang Fanlei about what he saw and heard in Linqi Village. Everyone was very busy and there were not many opportunities, and Zuoqiu Anqing should be with Jiang Fanlei often.

She called Jiang Fanlei twice, and both times she was with him, and she never called again after that.

Today, we can have a chat.

Jiang Fanlei had a bad feeling and asked cautiously, "What happened to her? Have you found out something new?"

Chen Yi lit a cigarette and said with a smile: "I am free, am I? Are you always making trouble for your girlfriend? Some time ago, I followed a case of child trafficking. Isn't it a coincidence that one of the victims was abducted to Linqi Village in Ningcheng?

You heard it right, it is Linqi Village, Zuoqiu Anqing’s hometown.”

Jiang Fanlei was suspicious: "What a coincidence? The country is so big, why is it Linqi Village?"

Chen Yi spread his hands: "It's just a coincidence, what can I do? Since we are in Linqi Village, out of my concern and love for you, I will talk to Zuoqiu Anqing's parents... Don't get me wrong, she has a history of lying, and it's for your own good that I pay more attention to her."

Jiang Fanlei shuddered: "You're still caring and loving me, how corny! What's the result? Just get to the point, don't worry, I can handle it."

Chen Yi: "It's not as serious as you think. Let me make it short."

Afterwards, he told Jiang Fanlei everything he had gained in Linqi Village, without any personal comments or ulterior motives, only objective facts.

How to judge depends on Jiang Fanlei himself.

He knew that Jiang Fanlei was not a love-brained person, and since he trusted him, he should be able to be fair.

As the voice fell, Jiang Fanlei couldn't help but frown.

Obviously, Zuoqiu Anqing has the ambition to cross classes, and he wants to cross more than one class.

According to the nine-level classification, he and Chen Yi are at the third and fourth levels, and Zuoqiu Anqing is at the ninth or eighth level.

There is nothing wrong with being ambitious, but if you lack gratitude, it is easy to become a person who worships money and flatters the powerful.

It's okay to work for yourself, but if she becomes your girlfriend, she will be a time bomb in the future. People with assets would rather avoid such a partner, as you never know when she might stab you in the back, causing adverse consequences.

After a long silence, Jiang Fanlei asked, "Do you think I should break up?"

Chen Yi: "Don't ask me, look at yourself, I'm just telling you some facts. If you want to get an accurate answer, you need to observe from the side yourself, but don't let her notice your intentions, be natural."

So far, Zuoqiu Anqing has not done anything excessive, so we cannot be 100% sure that she is a bad woman just by talking to her family.

unfair.

All I can say is that the probability of her being a bad woman is relatively higher.

It still depends on the person himself. Jiang Fanlei is closest to Zuoqiu Anqing and can get to know him in depth from the details with a purpose.

Be cautious when it comes to love matters.

If Jiang Fanlei didn't have a good relationship with him, he wouldn't bother to care.

"ok, I get it."

Jiang Fanlei was in a bad mood again. A girl kept causing problems, and he found it hard to convince himself to ignore them.

There are many girls with no problems around you, so there is really no need to waste time with one with problems.

……

Three days later in the morning, Chen Yi brought Fang Shuyu to the island in the middle of the lake as agreed. At this time, the parking lot was already full of cars, including luxury cars.

In addition, there are highly recognizable official cars parked there. Although they are cheap, no one dares to underestimate them.

Those present were all prominent social elites in Yangcheng. They certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to think that the person sitting in a black car worth two or three hundred thousand yuan would be an ordinary person.

There are many people who can afford a car worth two hundred thousand yuan, but the fact that they are invited to the Lake Heart Island today cannot be judged by their car.

Chen Yi is a good example.

His car was worth about 200,000 yuan, and it was a gift from Jiang Fanlei after he won a bet. Anyone who underestimates the car because of its low price will only bring shame upon himself in the end.

There is no one else who can hold a prominent position in both the official and business circles in Yangcheng.

Meng Yi also arrived, and the two sides met soon.

Chen Yi glanced behind Meng Yi and said with a smile: "Usually when he goes out, he is surrounded by people like a big boss. Why did you come alone today? You didn't even bring your wife?"

Meng Yi did not hide it: "I don't want to be noticed by certain people. It's better to keep a low profile. Wouldn't it be nice to live two more years?"

Although he knew Chen Yi and many other people, it didn't mean he could do whatever he wanted in Yangcheng. If he brought his younger brothers with him to such an event, wouldn't he be getting into trouble if something went wrong?

Take someone from many years ago for example. He was noticed because he was too crazy and eventually ended up in ruin and was sentenced to death. If you don't seek death, you won't die.

Chen Yi didn't think it mattered. As long as he was upright, he would not be afraid of others making things difficult for him.

But it's always right to be careful and low-key. Meng Yi has learned his lesson. He likes to make a fortune quietly and is no longer at the age of showing off.

"Your friend has something, and it's pretty good."

The two chatted as they walked and stepped onto the long bridge that had been built. In the past, if you wanted to go to the island, you had to row a boat across.

Looking into the distance, under the dazzling light, there is a luxurious building standing alone above the vast blue waves, like a shining pearl, quietly inlaid in the vast lake.

Because the surrounding facilities have not been built yet, many green nets and iron frames have not been removed, which makes them seem somewhat out of place in contrast.

Chen Yi looked at it for a while and said, "I haven't been here for a long time. It seems to be done very well. I guess they spent a lot of money on the design. It's a big investment."

On the lake, several sightseeing boats shuttled slowly, and the water and sky were sparkling as the boats passed by. Every turn of the propeller stirred the tranquility of nature.

The advantage of the island in the middle of the lake lies here: away from the hustle and bustle, enjoying peace and tranquility while still being modern.

Whatever you want and whatever you want to experience, it is all here.

The estimated price will not be cheap, four or five figures for sure, but I don’t know whether some rooms will reach six figures.

A hotel that costs $100,000 a night may sound expensive, but it's just a drop in the bucket for rich people.

Chen Yi met many acquaintances on the bridge. After greeting each other, they soon parted ways and did not travel together.

Everyone knows their limits. There is no need to force yourself into a circle that is not yours, so as not to make things awkward for everyone.

It's still early today, there are plenty of opportunities to meet.

With slow steps, the three of them stepped onto the island in the middle of the lake, and the main building of the hotel became clear.

Chen Yi doesn't understand architecture, so he's just watching for fun as an outsider. It's probably a fusion of modern design and natural aesthetics, which makes people feel very comfortable and not at all oppressive.

There is a lot of glass, and the huge glass curtain wall sparkles in the sun, forming a sharp contrast with the lush vegetation around it.

There is an unfinished building not far away, and you can see the rough exterior walls, the outline of a roof garden, and scattered scaffolding.

It does have some flaws, but they add a sense of anticipation, making people imagine the magnificent sight when it is fully completed.

Walking through the granite path, a carefully laid red carpet appears, extending to the hotel entrance. On both sides are carefully trimmed flower beds, with flowers of various colors vying for beauty, welcoming every guest with the warmest attitude.

The person in charge of reception greeted us at the entrance in a formal suit with a smile on his face.

It’s Zuoqiu Anqing.

Seeing the girl, Chen Yi slowed down his pace unconsciously, perhaps because he felt embarrassed. He seldom investigated someone for reasons other than a case, and strictly speaking, this was abusing his power for personal gain.

"Brother Chen."

Before he could go forward, a voice came from behind, attracting Chen Yi to look back.

The highest temperature today was 25 degrees. The middle-aged man who came with enthusiasm was wearing an executive jacket, thick glasses on his nose, and his secretary was beside him.

In addition to the secretary, there were two accompanying staff members.

"Director Sun, long time no see." Chen Yi smiled and took the initiative to extend his hand. The man's name was Sun Yuanfa, he was in charge of commerce in the provincial government, his rank was two levels lower than Fang Songping, and the two had met several times.

The entire Dongzhou market planning, commercial network layout, and the construction and development of the business system, including domestic and foreign trade and economic cooperation, must go through the hands of Director Sun.

He came when I got married.

Seeing that Chen Yi actually extended his hand, Meng Yi beside him narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly took two steps back.

The only person in Yangcheng who could make Chen Yi take the initiative to ask for help had to be at least a deputy director, and it was not something he could interfere with.

Sun Yuanfa glanced at Meng Yi, not caring about him and not intending to get to know him, and reached out and shook hands with Chen Yi.

"Brother Chen, are you here to show your support for your friends?"

He knew that Chen Yi and Jiang Fanlei knew each other, otherwise a deputy chief of criminal investigation and chief of criminal investigation detachment would not have attended such an occasion unless there was a case.

Chen Yi did not deny it and nodded with a smile: "Yes, come and take a look."

Sun Yuanfa hummed, full of authority: "Last month, when I was drinking with Lao Fang, he mentioned you. From what he said, you are going to the Imperial City in the future?"

Chen Yi: "Not sure yet, let's go in first, Director Sun, please."

He turned sideways and made a gesture of invitation.

Sun Yuanfa smiled, walked steadily, confidently and calmly, and had a very strong aura.

Chen Yi knew that among all the guests today, Sun Yuanfa should have the highest status, and he could not compare to him, and the others were just supporting roles.

When passing by Zuoqiu Anqing, she greeted everyone with a smile as usual. It seemed that Jiang Fanlei did not show any abnormality in front of her.

As long as the rifts and prejudices exist, they will only gradually expand over time. According to Chen Yi's judgment, the two people will not be able to go too far.

For Jiang Fanlei, this is a good thing, so why take the risk?

When everyone entered the hall, Jiang Fanlei had been waiting for a long time. As a host, he had to act like a host. Even when Sun Yuanfa came, he did not go out to greet him, and was neither humble nor arrogant.

"Director Sun."

Jiang Fanlei, dressed in a suit, stepped forward and shook hands with the other party immediately with a smile.

Sun Yuanfa nodded, praised, and looked very satisfied.

The spacious and bright lobby is mainly illuminated by natural light, with simple yet elegant decoration. Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, you can overlook the sparkling lake and the mountains in the distance, which is refreshing.

Almost everyone had arrived, and Jiang Fanlei led everyone on a tour, with Sun Yuanfa in the lead and the others following behind.

The hotel has set up several exhibition areas to show guests the full picture of the hotel's future through models, renderings and VR experiences.

There are luxurious rooms, specialty restaurants, spas, conference centers, etc. Every detail reveals the ultimate pursuit of quality and service.

The internal environment also exceeded Chen Yi's expectations. He used to think that Jiang Fanlei was just bragging, but he didn't expect that he was really awesome. In the future, when the Lake Heart Island unveils its mystery to outsiders, it will usher in its glorious moment.

In a few years, this place is likely to become a landmark building in Yangcheng. No wonder Sun Yuanfa came here in person today, which shows how much he values ​​it.

The success of Lake Island is also his achievement.

Just when Chen Yi was chatting with Meng Yi and others, Sun Yuanfa's voice suddenly came.

"Brother Chen, what do you think of the name Lan Fan?"

"Hmm?" Chen Yi took a few steps forward and said, "I don't understand either. It sounds good."

The hotel is called Lanfan. It was the first time he knew about it, as he had never asked before.

Sun Yuanfa then asked for other people's opinions. The business tycoons and official personnel would not say anything that was detrimental to unity at this time, and they all said that the name was excellent.

The name doesn't matter, as long as it's not particularly ugly.

The word "Lan" represents magnificent waves and implies that the hotel is surrounded by the lake. The word "Fan" represents Jiang Fanlei. He has the right to name it and this is his personal selfishness. There is no problem with it.

Sun Yuanfa just asked casually to liven up the atmosphere and would not object. Besides, it has already been registered and outsiders just don't know about it.

"Director Sun, how about we go eat first? Everything is ready." Jiang Fanlei said, "After lunch, I will take Director Sun to other places for a look. You can also go to the room to rest. You can stay in any room for free. You can give us suggestions for improvement of the facilities and services so that I can find out what is missing and fill in the gaps."

Sun Yuanfa nodded and changed the subject: "Mr. Jiang, I remember you said you wanted to build a museum on the island?"

museum?
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked over with great interest.

Including Chen Yi.

He didn't know much about the island in the middle of the lake, and Jiang Fanlei rarely mentioned the details.

He has a long-term vision of building a museum next to the hotel, which will add a stronger cultural atmosphere and attract more guests.

Jiang Fanlei smiled and said, "Yes, but it can't be completed this year. It will have to be this time next year."

Sun Yuanfa: "Let's go take a look first. It's still early for dinner."

The construction of a museum is of great importance to a city, especially the theme of the museum, which he obviously cares about.

It would be very disappointing if it only displayed some ordinary antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

Of course, a museum needs foundation. If you want to make it famous throughout Dongzhou and even the whole country, it is difficult to achieve in a short period of time because no one has the financial resources.

"Okay, let's go take a look first." Jiang Fanlei agreed. He knew that the other party would definitely go to see the prototype of the museum, and he was already prepared.

Everyone left the hotel and, led by Jiang Fanlei, walked towards a building under construction not far away. The staff had already gone to get their safety helmets.

On the way, listening to Jiang Fanlei and Sun Yuanfa talking, everyone roughly understood the plan of the Lake Island Museum.

Jiang Fanlei wants to build a fun museum on the island in the middle of the lake to capture the curiosity of tourists.

There is not just one theme, including more than a dozen pavilions, including the war pavilion, food development pavilion, clothing development pavilion, cartoon pavilion, four-dimensional concept pavilion, etc.

Just hearing the name is very attractive.

Chen Yi couldn't help but look at Jiang Fanlei with admiration. He had never realized that this guy had such a good business sense and could accomplish great things with little money.

Antiques? No.

Jewelry? No.

too expensive.

It's a very unconventional approach, very clever. People are now tired of antiques, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings.

It seems that talent is really like pregnancy, it takes a long time to be seen.

Sun Yuanfa was also very satisfied and kept nodding his head. It seemed that he could foresee that the popularity of Lake Heart Island in the future would boost Yangcheng's GDP, causing a chain reaction and then boosting Dongzhou's GDP.

"It's just ahead." Jiang Fanlei pointed at the building ahead.

The building area is large, surrounded by green nets and scaffolding and wooden boards.

The construction workers did not take a holiday, and many of them could be seen busy at work. Most of them wore yellow hats, with the occasional skilled worker wearing a blue hat, and there was only one red hat.

Since we were here, we had to go in and take a look. Safety helmets were distributed and Sun Yuanfa also put one on.

"Director Sun, please." Jiang Fanlei gestured to the other party to go first.

The main structure of the building has been completed. Safety is no longer an issue at this stage. Wearing a hat is just a precaution.

Sun Yuanfa nodded, strode across the wooden board with his hands behind his back, and walked into the main entrance with an inspection attitude.

At this moment, a creaking sound echoed around, as if a switch was triggered.

The next moment, a white shadow fell from somewhere and hung upside down in front of Sun Yuanfa, with the distance between them only a few centimeters.

This is a skeleton.

Skeleton hanging upside down.

The position of the head was level with Sun Yuanfa's, and the latter could clearly see the lines on the bones and the empty eyes.

The scene was silent for a moment, and no one reacted.

Looking at the white bones of the skull so close to him, Sun Yuanfa felt his bladder twitch and he almost peed his pants.

Even if it was daytime and there were many people present, no one could remain calm when facing the skull so suddenly and so closely.

"what!"

"Brother Chen!!!"

He called Chen Yi immediately.

In the back, Chen Yi's expression suddenly changed at this moment.
