Chapter 33 A Letter from Ziyuan

Lu Ming vomited for 10 minutes, and finally almost vomited bile, and his mouth was full of a bitter taste like coptis.

After washing away the vomit with water, gargling his mouth, and washing his face, Lu Ming felt a little relieved. He went back to the bedroom to find a bottle of brandy, and took a big gulp from the bottle.

The power of alcohol and medicine slowly flooded his whole body, the cold feeling disappeared, but he found that his body was still shaking, so he took another big gulp of brandy to stabilize his body.

The moment he was about to make a call just now, it was as if an electric current hit him, giving him a horrifying intuition: Zi Yuan disappeared, and he disappeared on the same day as Sheng Muyi.There is no basis, no reasoning, nothing needed, just a gut feeling.

"Zi Yuan said that you are smart, why didn't you leave any information? Isn't this embarrassing me?"

Lu Ming's talent seems to have the power of this intuition hidden, but now he hates this intuition, he wants to erase his feelings.

If only it felt like a dream, in reverse.

Aren't dreams and reality the opposite?

Why did Shion come to his apartment?Who is she hiding from?Sheng Muyi disappeared and came here to meet Ziyuan, what are they discussing?Are there any secrets the two are hiding?

These questions kept popping up in Lu Ming's mind, but he couldn't answer any of them.

When he was young, he often played with the Yuan family sisters, and Sheng Muyi and Sheng Di. Although Sheng Muyi was born in Shanghai, he spent his childhood in his hometown in Huzhou, while Sheng Di was born in Huzhou. Youde was admitted to a prestigious school in Shanghai to study in middle school.

When Lu Ming was young, he had two circles, one was with Zhang Ziyang and a few friends from his hometown, and the other was with the Yuan family sisters and Sheng family siblings. Ziyuan later got engaged to Sheng Di because of this childhood love.

When they grew up and Lu Ming and Sheng Muyi went abroad one after another, this circle disappeared.

After Lu Ming returned to China, his contact with Sheng Muyi, Ziyuan, and Sheng Di gradually decreased, but he stayed with Mingzhu every other day.

He didn't realize how important Sheng Muyi and Ziyuan were in his heart. After all, they had grown up and went their separate ways to lead their own lives. Although they were all in Shanghai, they rarely got together, and their childhood life gradually changed Became a good memory.

Sheng Muyi's sudden disappearance disrupted his originally peaceful life and made him feel the indescribable pain of losing a loved one. Now that Ziyuan disappeared inexplicably, he immediately felt a top-heavy suspension.

He was lying on the bed, recalling the scenes of being with Sheng Muyi, Ziyuan, and Mingzhu when he was a child, his eyes became moist unconsciously, and he felt pain in his heart.For a moment, he felt that he really couldn't bear it.

When he heard the news of Sheng Muyi's disappearance, he remained optimistic, thinking that no matter whether Sheng Muyi ran away voluntarily or was kidnapped, at least she was still alive, but Ziyuan also disappeared, and the problem became serious.

The phone on the bedside table rang suddenly, startling Lu Ming.

"Hurry up and go downstairs, I'll be right there and take you for a drive." Yuan Mingzhu's crisp voice came from the microphone.

"This is showing off." Lu Ming smiled wryly.

After hanging up the phone, as soon as he stood up, he felt a spasm in his stomach, a void in his heart, and unsteady feet.This is a conditioned reflex, Lu Ming doesn't know how to face Mingzhu, how to explain to her what happened to her sister Ziyuan, if it's not bad, it's even worse.

So far, Ziyuan's disappearance is just his intuition, there is no evidence, and there is no clue.If he told Mingzhu that Ziyuan's disappearance was his intuition without any real evidence, it would be nonsense, but it might deal a serious blow to Mingzhu.

If Mingzhu couldn't accept it for a while, troubles would inevitably happen, and he had to comfort her, which would be tantamount to creating an unsolvable problem for himself.

He suddenly thought of what Sheng Youde had said to him: Someone has already attacked the Sheng family.

Then there should be a definite answer to Sheng Muyi and Ziyuan's disappearance at the same time.But it's not yet possible for Mingzhu to know the truth, let's hide it for a day, not to mention that there is no clue at all about this matter.

Lu Ming went downstairs, greeted the manager sitting at the counter, and walked out the door.

Not far away, a brand-new Pontiac galloped toward him, and a hand stretched out from the driver's window, swaying towards him.

He walked over slowly, and the car drew an arc and stopped precisely beside him.

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so pale?" Mingzhu asked worriedly, sticking her head out of the window.

"It's nothing, I had lunch with Zhang Ziyang, my stomach hurt, and I vomited up when I came back." Lu Ming rubbed his face with his hands.

"Ah, I ate mushrooms, right? Bah, I have a crow's mouth." Mingzhu said quickly.

"Poisonous mushrooms! Don't worry, I've already decided that I won't eat any mushrooms in the future." Lu Ming laughed.

"Come on, let's go for a drive. I am happy today, I have news from my sister."

"You mean there is news about Ziyuan? What news? Where is she now?" Lu Ming's voice was strange and piercing.

"Why are you so nervous? It's scary. My sister sent a letter to her family. She is playing in Lushan, Jiangxi, and she said she will be home in two months." Mingzhu looked calm, as if she was making up a story.

"Ziyuan is in Mount Lu? Why is she going there alone?" Lu Ming opened the car door and sat in the passenger seat.

"Ever since Sister Muyi lost it, I was so worried that she would lose it too, so why would she go to Mount Lu, as long as she didn't lose it." Mingzhu patted the steering wheel and said.

"You're right, it's good to know she's safe and sound." Lu Ming forced a smile and said perfunctorily.

In fact, he didn't think so at all in his heart, and things would not be that simple.Mingzhu is still innocent, but it can't be pointed out for the time being, so as not to cause her to be in a hurry to breed right and wrong.

As for Ziyuan's letter to her family, if she pondered over it a little, she would find flaws in it.News of Sheng Muyi's disappearance was published in newspapers in the United States. Newspapers and magazines in major and medium-sized cities in China reported and reprinted the news one after another: Sheng Muyi, daughter of Shanghai tycoon Sheng Youde and heir of the Sheng family, disappeared.

Even if Ziyuan is in Mount Lushan, she should know the news. Shouldn't she return to Shanghai immediately after knowing the news?Why are you still traveling in Lushan Mountain?

He suddenly wondered: If there is a one-in-a-million possibility that Ziyuan is in Lushan Mountain, will Sheng Muyi be in Lushan Mountain?

But how did she leave Shanghai?At that time, all traffic arteries in and out of Shanghai were strictly inspected.

"Is Ziyuan's letter sent to my hometown?" Lu Ming asked lightly.

"Yeah, my family specially asked Mrs. Qiaoshou to send me a message, telling me not to worry. I'm really worried to death these days." Mingzhu laughed.

"Ziyuan has been playful since she was a child, and she has a lot of courage." Lu Ming replied without words.

"Well, I'm happy today, I'll treat you to something delicious later, you pay for it." Mingzhu giggled.

Seeing Mingzhu's dazzling smile, Lu Ming's heart melted.He sincerely hopes that all the people in the world will be carefree and that life will be full of joy and laughter every day.

Yuan Mingzhu started the car and continued to accelerate, Lu Ming was a little worried, this kind of driving would not work.

"Slow down, slow down, the new car needs a period of running-in, from slow to fast, little by little, don't speed up the car too high all at once, or it will burn the engine." Lu Ming reminded.

"A new car needs running-in? I haven't heard of it."

"Didn't you just listen to what the old driver said now? Keep the second gear first, then shift to the third gear when there are few people, and then increase the speed a little bit when you are outside the city. During this time, you should change gears every day." Lu Ming said.

In fact, he doesn't understand the principle of vehicles, but a coach told him so when he was learning to drive in the United States.

Yuan Mingzhu heard that the vehicle's engine might burn out, so she didn't dare to drive wildly. Instead, according to Lu Ming's statement, first keep a slow and constant speed, and then increase the speed in areas with fewer people.

After slowly driving out of the city, Yuan Mingzhu increased the speed to the highest gear, and the car roared like a rocket being launched.

There is a saying that during the running-in phase of a car, it must be run at high speed from time to time, so as to realize the full potential of the car. If the car is not driven to the highest speed during the running-in phase, it will never be able to fully realize the potential of the vehicle in the future.

Lu Ming is not a car enthusiast, so he doesn't know whether this is true or not, but he still maintains the tradition of the mean when driving, neither fast nor slow, and drives at a moderate speed.

He couldn't understand the psychology of those drag racing enthusiasts, as if gasoline was not blood flowing in their veins.

But Mingzhu is a full-fledged drag racing enthusiast. When the car accelerates, her eyes shine, she concentrates like a fighting beast, her body and the car have become one.

Lu Ming smiled bitterly. According to her way of driving, this car will be scrapped within a few years. This is a touring car, not a racing car.

Fortunately, the place where they are racing is a vast flat land, not a bumpy mountain road, otherwise Lu Ming would have been knocked to pieces.

The special racing track is a specially built oil residue road instead of a hard concrete road, otherwise the tires will wear too much, and it may even cause a fire due to friction and cause a car accident.

During the period of the Republic of China, there were no dedicated racing tracks in China, and there were not even a few qualified national highways, most of which were loess roads.

It wasn't until it was dark that Yuan Mingzhu drove back to the city under the urging of Lu Ming. They found a relatively high-end Huzhou restaurant and ordered a table of hometown delicacies.

"Are you saying I'm too willful? This car costs 500 yuan, which is enough for many people to spend for a year." After drinking a few glasses of wine, Mingzhu said with a slightly red face.

"Well, aren't you already a detective? It's more convenient to have a car." Lu Ming said.

"Yes, it really comforts people. But I still feel a little distressed, and I will definitely correct it in the future." Mingzhu said.

"Solve two cases well and do something useful for the common people. You can't just think about it." Lu Ming took the opportunity to teach her a lesson.

"Hmph, I discovered that poisonous mushroom." Mingzhu raised her head.

"That's right, use your heart and mind, and you will be the number one female detective in Shanghai in the future!" Lu Ming said with a thumbs up and laughed.
