[Lu Chen, what are you doing? ]
Visiting the cemetery.
【Meeting a client.】
After replying, Lu Chen paused and continued typing.
[By the way, I have a dinner party tonight and won’t be going home for dinner. I don’t know what time it will end yet, so you don’t have to wait for me.]
Today is April 4th and I have to choose a password as my first attempt.
According to the plan, all members of the "combat team" will stay in the sanatorium tonight and work overtime. As the team leader, Lu Chen must of course lead by example.
So Qingbao has to bear with it.
I stared at the phone for a while, but there was no reply from Qin Wanqing. Instead, I heard Lu Shuyu's voice behind me.
"Lu Chen, let's go."
"..."
Huh? That's it?
Oh, that's normal.
Although she was Ding Yingqi's grandmother, the little rich woman was only three years old when Ding Yingqi passed away. It would be nonsense to say that the two had any deep feelings for each other.
I guess it was just a simple tribute.
"Ah."
Looking back, Lu Chen put the phone back into his trouser pocket and nodded.
Soon, the two walked back along the cobblestone road.
Just like when we came here, the atmosphere was silent. Only the sound of footsteps echoed in the empty cemetery and then dissipated in the sultry wind.
Behind him, four almost identical white chrysanthemums lay quietly in front of the tombstone. A small stone was thrown into the lake called fate, splashing a circle of ripples from the past.
Chapter 184 Back to the starting point
"What?"
Fifteen minutes later, when Lu Chen and Lu Shuyu met Butler Li in the cemetery management office, the latter made the two of them open their mouths with just a few words.
"Well, we need to check the surveillance again to see who it is, but this is the situation."
Butler Li nodded slightly: "I have known the administrator here for a long time. He will not lie, and he has no reason to lie."
"..."
Lu Chen and Lu Shuyu looked at each other, both feeling a little confused.
Butler Li arrived here earlier than them and had already asked the administrator about the two white chrysanthemums.
It was indeed not a "paranormal event", but the situation was not as simple as Lu Chen thought.
Simply put, these two flowers were seen by the administrator at the door of the office when he went to work this morning.
In addition to the flowers, there was also a note and five hundred dollars in an envelope.
The note asked the administrator to place flowers in front of Ding Yingqi's grave.
The money is a thank you fee.
In short, the two flowers were placed there by the administrator, but no one knows who the "mastermind behind the scenes" is.
That would be weird.
The only plausible explanation is that someone wanted to pay tribute to Ding Yingqi last night, but because the cemetery was closed at night, he had to leave the flowers and ask the administrator to deliver them on his behalf.
But if that's the case, why not leave your name?
And if you can't come in at night, you can just come back the next day. Don't you have even that much time?
Besides, isn't sending flowers to the grave just a courtesy? Is it necessary to send flowers?
Obviously, there is something fishy about this matter.
Of course, these questions are not unexplainable.
For example, the person forgot to leave his name, or he had to leave Yanjiang today and didn’t have time to come again, etc.
But there are still some questions that are difficult to explain.
For example, why is it such a coincidence that these two flowers came from the same flower shop as the flowers prepared by Butler Li, and they are the same white chrysanthemums?
Is there really such a coincidence?
"Uncle Li, where is the note?"
After thinking for a long time, Lu Chen looked up at Butler Li and said, "I want to see it."
"Here I am."
Butler Li nodded and took out a small note from his shirt pocket.
Lu Chen took the note and unfolded it. Lu Shuyu also leaned over curiously.
The content of the note was very short, and the two of them read it at a glance.
[Please deliver the flowers to Ding Yingqi's grave at No. 3, Row 6, Area D this morning. The money in the envelope is for your reward.]
"I really didn't leave a name..."
Lu Shuyu murmured, looking confused.
Lu Chen keenly discovered another key piece of information——
I
The note said "for me".
So the person who left the note was one person.
But why did he leave behind two white chrysanthemums?
"..."
After a moment of silence, Lu Chen stuffed the note directly into his trouser pocket.
"Uncle Li, I'll go talk to the administrator."
......
At about eleven o'clock in the morning, Lu Chen walked out of the cemetery management office.
Although Yunshan Cemetery is a large cemetery, places like cemeteries generally have very few staff members.
After all, it doesn't take a lot of manpower to manage the dead.
The person who delivered the flowers was an old man who worked the day shift. He was a very honest man and answered whatever Lu Chen asked. He didn't look like someone who would lie.
What's more, as Butler Li said, there was no need for him to lie at all.
In short, after asking for a long time, Lu Chen didn't get any useful information, so he had to pin his hopes on surveillance.
The reason why he was so concerned about this matter was because of a sentence he casually said when discussing the password with Xia Yunian yesterday.
"If what you said before is true, then I should be able to guess the password. I guess there will be some opportunity in the future."
There is no doubt that, judging from the current situation, Lu Chen felt that what happened this morning was the "opportunity".
"Uncle Li, I'll trouble you to check the surveillance."
"If you find that person, remember to make a copy of that surveillance video."
Standing in the small courtyard outside the cemetery office building, Lu Chen spoke in a serious tone. Not far away was a black Audi parked with the engine running, but the license plate was different from the one that picked him up this morning.
Because he had to check the entire night's surveillance, he didn't have time to waste here, so he had to ask Butler Li to stay and check it while he and Lu Shuyu went to the sanatorium first.
"Okay Mr. Lu."
Butler Li looked serious and said that he would definitely find out the "real culprit behind the scenes."
"Well, hard work."
Lu Chen nodded in a leadership manner and got into the car with Lu Shuyu.
Soon, the black Audi turned out of the courtyard and drove towards the gate along the internal road of the cemetery.
Looking at Lu Chen with a frown on his face, Lu Shuyu was silent for a while before asking cautiously:
"Lu Chen, do you think this matter is related to Grandpa's password?"
“It feels that way.”
Lu Chen couldn't explain it, so he could only use his "sixth sense" as an excuse: "Although I don't know what the specific relationship is, but this person is so mysterious, I always feel that there is something wrong."
"Well...what do we do next?"
"Let's wait and see if Uncle Li can find out anything. There's no need to worry too much about it right now."
"it is good......"
Lu Shuyu nodded, opened and closed his mouth, as if he was struggling with something.
After hesitating for a while, she finally mustered up the courage to whisper:
"Lu Chen, I, I think you might be wrong..."
"Ok?"
Lu Chen was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"It's just...you guessed that the password is related to grandma."
Lu Shuyu probably felt that she was not as smart as Lu Chen, so she was not confident enough to question him.
However, she had been holding these words in for a long time, so she continued speaking under Lu Chen's puzzled gaze.
"Although I don't have much impression of my grandmother, I spent a lot of time with my grandfather since I was a child."
"I told you yesterday that Grandpa never puts Grandma's photo at home. He said he was afraid that seeing the photo would remind him of Grandma."
"Even when we were having dinner together, my parents never mentioned grandma in front of grandpa. It seemed like everyone was deliberately avoiding the issue."
