sea ​​situation

Since the beginning of the Republic of China, Vientiane has been renewed. In fact, Shanghai Beach is still the same Shanghai Beach, and the people who call the wind and rain in Shanghai Beach are still the same people, but they just changed their names.

"Master Lu, don't you know? The eldest lady of the Sheng family is missing." Song Qing said.

"What, Miss Sheng family is missing? You are a tabloid gossip, right?" Lu Ming looked disdainful.

"Whoever dares to create rumors about the Sheng family in Shanghai Tang, I'm afraid they are tired of doing it wrong. Let me tell you, yes, the biggest news in Shanghai this time is that Miss Sheng Muyi has disappeared." Song Qing said with wide-eyed eyes.

"Ah? This really happened!"

Lu Ming and Yuan Mingzhu exclaimed at the same time.

"A month ago, I was drinking with Sister Muyi in Shanghai. Could it be that she was kidnapped? Who is so courageous?" Yuan Mingzhu said in amazement.

"Maybe he eloped with someone, I'm talking nonsense, don't take it seriously." Song Qing winked and laughed.

Lu Ming ignored him, frowning and thinking.This news was as incomprehensible to him as hearing that the sun had disappeared and was eaten by a tengu.

"Sister Muyi has four bodyguards and more than a dozen maids by her side? Are they missing too?" Yuan Mingzhu was guessing along Song Qing's train of thought, but her tone was asking rhetorically. Obviously, she didn't believe it. .

"Only Miss Sheng is missing, and everyone else is fine. No one can tell clearly what happened." Song Qing smiled wryly.

"Are the people in the Shanghai Police Station just for nothing? Everyone can only eat and drink, and don't do business." Yuan Mingzhu was furious, and after thinking about it, he added, "It's cheap to say that they are idiots. !"

"Miss Yuan is serious. According to the people in the police station, she may have been targeted by some gang that doesn't have a good eye and was kidnapped." Song Qing said seriously.

"Kidnapped? In Shanghai, who dares to kidnap the young lady of the Sheng family?" Lu Ming shook his head repeatedly, he knew the status of the Sheng family in Shanghai very well.

"I said, Young Master Lu, these years are not stable, and it's hard to say that there won't be a few people who have taken the initiative." Song Qing said with a gloomy expression.

"So, you are also..." Lu Ming understood a little bit.

"Yes, we received an order from Shangfeng to strictly check every passing ship to prevent someone from kidnapping Miss Sheng."

"Oh, I've wronged you by saying that. I'm sorry." Yuan Mingzhu said with some embarrassment.

She and Sheng Muyi are boudoir friends. Since the other party is looking for the missing Miss Sheng, she should actively cooperate, but she kicked the servant into the water.The little girl was indiscriminate, she was a bit reckless.Yuan Mingzhu blushed a little at this moment.

"Haha, it's nothing, just tell them to open their eyes and see the methods of Shanghai Bund Pearl." Song Qing laughed loudly.

Lu Ming smiled and said nothing. This Song Qing probably didn't have a good relationship with those two subordinates. This time, he obviously deliberately let them get into trouble and learn a lesson. Otherwise, he should have come out long ago instead of staying in the cabin all the time. inside.

While talking, another boat came by not far away. Song Qing hurriedly said goodbye to Lu Ming and the two, then rowed to meet the boat and began to search on board.

Zhang Ben rowed away, and it was almost night. There were hundreds of boats on the river, and a light was lit on the prow of each boat, as if all the stars in the sky had fallen on the river, which was really beautiful.

At this time, Mrs. Qiaoshou had already prepared the meals and asked the two to enter the middle cabin for dinner.

The main course of dinner is Yuan Mingzhu's favorite, the sweet and sour fish that Qiaoshou's sister-in-law is good at, and then Lu Ming's favorite fried pork with dried plums.Half of the remaining six bowls of dishes are sweet, which caters to Yuan Mingzhu's taste, and the other half are salty, because Lu Ming and Yuan Mingzhu have the opposite tastes, and they basically don't eat sweets.

The food is their favorite dish, and the wine is also their favorite home-brewed old wine, but both of them feel a stone is blocked in their chests, and they can't move their chopsticks no matter what.

"Why did Sister Mu Yi disappear? I don't understand." Yuan Mingzhu tilted her head and thought for a long time before saying this.

"I believe that she ran away from home, but she disappeared and was kidnapped. I don't believe it. Sheng Muyi can't be lost." Lu Ming pondered.

Lu Ming knows that Sheng Muyi's private security is second to none in Shanghai. No matter where she goes, there are four personal bodyguards with guns, and these four are specially trained sharpshooters.

Everyone knows that Sheng Youde spent a lot of money to hire four sharpshooters with extraordinary skills as bodyguards for his daughter. Some people say that they are masters hidden in the Qing Gang, others say that they came from the Beiyang Army, and some even say that they were originally for Yuan Yuan. The president's bodyguard.In short, the origins of these four people are very mysterious.

Lu Ming saw these four people shooting targets, in the courtyard of Sheng's house, they were indeed shooting through the Yang at a hundred paces, with a distance of tens of meters, and a dozen bullets left only one hole on the target. Lu Ming, who opened the detective agency, admired this gun The five-body projection.

He didn't dare to make a fool of himself.It is estimated that if he goes up, although his grades will not be bad, but leaving only one bullet hole, it is absolutely impossible, unless the distance is shortened to less than ten meters, maybe it is still possible.

"What do you mean, Sheng Muyi can't be lost, so if I lose it one day, it's the right thing to do?" Yuan Mingzhu didn't want to.

"Just because of your turbulent appearance every day, you should have lost it a long time ago. You haven't been ashamed until now. It can be called the eighth wonder of the world." Lu Ming laughed.

"Whoever beat you to death is ashamed, you really dare to say." Yuan Mingzhu picked up his chopsticks and made a gesture to hit him.

Lu Ming hastily shrank his neck in fear: "A gentleman uses his mouth but not his hands."

"I'm a woman, not a gentleman, so I just like to do things."

Qiaoer, who had been watching at the cabin door, hurriedly shouted: "Mother, come quickly, Master Lu and Miss Yuan are fighting."

Qiaoshou's sister-in-law was taken aback when she heard this, and hurried in to take a look, she was amused when she saw it, the two of them weren't fighting, they were clearly flirting.

"Why don't you two not move your chopsticks? It's my cooking that doesn't suit your taste?" Mrs. Qiaoshou asked knowingly.

She is quite confident in her cooking skills. Lu Ming once discussed with her to give the husband and wife a sum of money to open a restaurant in Shanghai. With the cooking skills of the skillful sister-in-law, she is sure to eat every day You can't open the door even if you push it. If you do that, you will get rich in a few years.

Although Qiaoshousao and his wife are poor, their ambitions are different from ordinary people. They just like the scenery and life on the water, and don't want to compete with others on the shore to cause trouble.Although Qiaoshoumao's cooking is good, not everyone can eat it, except for family members, that is, Lu Ming, Yuan Mingzhu and a few people with close relationships have this good fortune.

It's good for Lu Ming to think about it. It's really not easy to gain a foothold in Shanghai Beach. Although he can support them, gossip is inevitable.

Although punting on the river can't make you rich, as long as you work hard, it's not a problem to support your family, especially when there are only three people in your family.

Looking at the cute Qiaoer and the diligent and capable Qiaoshou sister-in-law, Lu Ming couldn't help thinking that rich people in Europe and the United States like to buy yachts. In their spare time, they drive yachts to sea, fish, surf and bask in the sun, and spend a few days of fairy life. Doesn't Qiaoshou's family of three live a fairy life every day?

"Sister-in-law Qiaoshou, it's not your business, it's because we have something on our minds and we can't eat." Yuan Mingzhu took back the pair of chopsticks that had stopped in the air, sat up straight, and sighed.

"If you can't eat, you have to eat some. It's easy to get seasick on an empty stomach." Mrs. Qiaoshou persuaded.

"Sister-in-law Qiaoshou, have you also heard about Miss Sheng's disappearance?" Lu Ming asked.

"Of course I heard about it, maybe you two didn't hear it at home, but everyone didn't believe it. How could the eldest lady of the Sheng family disappear? If someone was kidnapped, her bodyguard and maid were not dead. How could it be?" Let your own lady be kidnapped? And she disappeared in the most luxurious hotel newly built in Shanghai, this is almost a made-up drama."

"A play made up? Why do you say that?" Lu Ming asked curiously.

"The big hotel is crowded with people, and there are many foreign devils with hooked noses and hairy bodies. I heard that in order to protect these foreign devils, the police station has sent many people to guard outside. With this situation, who can arrest Miss Sheng?" Kidnapped? This is not the same as a drama." Qiaoshou's wife said while pouring wine and vegetables for the two.

"The one missing in the big hotel? Is that the newly built Huamao Hotel? This is the only one that will open recently in Shanghai." Yuan Mingzhu asked.

"It seems to be, it's called Huamao Restaurant, but why is the restaurant called such a name? It's quite funny. Foreigners have come up with some crazy ideas." Mrs. Qiaoshou laughed.

Lu Ming and Yuan Mingzhu both laughed. They knew that Mrs. Qiaoshou was deliberately making them happy. Even if they didn't know the meaning of the word Huamao, they wouldn't think that a big restaurant would use Huamao as its name.

After what Qiaoshousao said, a crack was opened in the stone blocking the two people's chests, and a ray of light shone in. Seeing that Qiaoshousao had been busy for a long time, and it was impossible not to eat, they raised their glasses and held their chopsticks in their hands. Start picking what you like to eat.

"That's right, if you want me to tell you, Miss Sheng may have been angry with Master Sheng and ran out to play secretly by herself, just like Miss Yuan, isn't Huzhou looking for you now?" Qiaoshou The sister-in-law smiled again.

Yuan Mingzhu smiled shyly, and Lu Ming also felt a little embarrassed. The two escaped happily, but they left a mess, and the family still didn't know how to clean it up.

"Do you think we are a little too selfish?" Yuan Mingzhu whispered.

"Don't talk about us, I didn't let you escape, you ran faster than me." Lu Ming hurriedly dismissed it.

"It's not because of you that I ran away, why would I run away if it wasn't for you?" Yuan Mingzhu's Liu Yemei immediately raised her eyebrows.

If others definitely don't understand them, Qiaoshou's sister-in-law can understand after getting along with them for a long time, knowing that these two people have no other intentions, just don't want to be arranged by others, and they have to decide their own affairs, even if their parents decide for them. willing.

"But……"

Lu Ming didn't say anything about Ziwu Maoyou for a long time. He also knew that Yuan Mingzhu did it for himself, and of course it was for herself.
