Chapter 139 The ideal partner
Shocked in the sea.
When Wang Jiu spoke out the appearance characteristics of the arsonist one after another, the other party's true identity was about to emerge.
There may be many people who searched Shencheng, with long hair, ponytail, white face and single-piece mirrors, but at the same time, they also need to have the cultivation level of Paishan Realm and are good at the Five Elements Immortal Art, so only one person can meet all the conditions.
"But...why does he do this?"
Chen Feihu frowned and couldn't figure it out.
Since the city lord Chen Ruoshi was killed, the city lord's right-hand man chose to live in seclusion and no longer appeared in the public eye. His daily needs of his wife were all solved by ordering Fein. If it were not necessary, he would never step out of the house, let alone run to other people's warehouses to play with fire.
Moreover, he had no reason to set fire to books. Shen Yueying has always been responsible for cultural work in Shencheng. He usually burns books and burys scholars and practices in daily life. Chen Yueying and his inspection team were basically done by him. Chen Jinghai never intervened. Now he has stepped down from all his positions, and there is no reason to attack this commercial hype plan that abuses the pen name.
The two brothers thought for a while, and Chen Feihong said in a deep voice: "Although according to Mr. Wang Jiu's words, that person must be in amazement, at least he must find a motive for such a thing, otherwise... he would not be convinced by the rash accusation of the former deputy city lord of setting fire."
Chen Feihu also frowned: "I am also worried about this. Although I don't trust Mr. Wang Jiu, now we have no evidence except his personal judgment. I am afraid that we can't satisfy his father by just taking the conclusion to repay his father."
When the two were worried, Wang Jiu shook his head. These two men were worthy of being idiots chosen by Li Wanqing, and they couldn't even understand such a simple question.
"According to your opinion, this is the publishing alliance trying to steal other people's pseudonyms to publish works, and the original jade plate was burned several times. It is not difficult to draw inferences: Chen Jinghai, the perpetrator, does not want these works to be published. The reasons why a person does not want a certain work to be published are roughly the following: First, he is seriously dissatisfied with the content of the work, second, he is seriously dissatisfied with the publisher, and third, he is seriously dissatisfied with the society."
Hearing the third point, Chen Feihong's expression changed slightly: "Is it...yes, Chen Jinghai fell from the first deputy city lord directly to Bai Ding because of his grandfather's affairs. According to human nature, he was inevitably dissatisfied with the entire political system and social environment. So he had the urge and anger to retaliate against the society."
Chen Feihu shook his head and said, "If it is really a revenge on society, how could it be that it can only burn the jade plate and not hurt the rest? The fire dragon burned the plate several times in a row, and there was not even half of the injured."
Chen Feihong was speechless at the pass, thought for a while, and asked, "That's it that he has a grudge against the publisher?"
Chen Feihu continued to shake his head: "If you have a grudge against the publisher, can you just go and burn people? With his means, no one in these businesses can escape his Five Elements Immortal Art. And frankly speaking, with the social status of these publishers, even if their entire family is burned, they may not be able to alarm so widely. The fire dragon burns the plate, which alarms the whole city, makes people panic, and in my opinion it seems more like targeting their works..."
"That's the first possibility? He is seriously dissatisfied with the content of his work. But what's wrong with this shoddy novel package? Chen Jinghai is also the former deputy city lord, so why did he fight for a few inferior novels?"
"I can't figure it out either."
When the two brothers were struggling, Wang Jiu once again played the role of clearing away the clouds.
"Maybe he is a loyal fan of Sansheng Stone. He couldn't bear to see that his beloved author was impersonated by a pseudonym, resulting in a decrease in commercial value, so he angrily burned the original jade plate, and the Fire Dragon Burning Pan triggered a collective panic among publishers."
After one sentence, the two brothers suddenly felt extremely complicated in their hearts, and they felt that Wang Jiu's explanation was full of incredible absurdity, but they couldn't say something wrong.
Based on their understanding of Chen Jinghai, this person is dedicated to playing the perfect right-hand man of the city lord, and is focused on it. How could such a person be a loyal fan of a romance novelist? But on the other hand, according to rumors in the martial arts world, this person has been playing the role of deputy city lord for ten years and has been dating every Monday. The rich experience of blind dates can be written, which shows how distorted his nature is hidden behind that single lens.
Therefore, it seems reasonable to say that this usually serious deputy city lord likes to change into a small skirt in his spare time. Orchid holds a small teacup and reads romance novels in the sun.
"Or there is another possibility that Chen Jinghai is the Three Lives Stone itself." Wang Jiu speculated, "If he is the Three Lives Stone, then as the party, the motivation for burning the copycat works will be more fully."
When he heard this, the Honghu brothers suddenly became enlightened.
"Damn it makes sense!"
"Yes, it's right, it's all right. Sansheng Shi is famous for hating the Li family. Chen Jinghai, as his grandfather's deputy, naturally doesn't have a good impression of the Li family."
"Three Livestone's works are basically all romance, and his 10-year blind date experience is also closely related to love!"
"The Three Lives Stones started from March, which happened to be the time when he stayed at home and ignored foreign affairs!"
The two brothers sang together and soon became full of Wang Jiu's guess and became very convincing.
And the mystery that has troubled Shencheng people for decades, the true identity of Sansheng Stone finally came to life!
Chen Feihu said, "Since Chen Jinghai is Sansheng Shi himself, things have become reasonable. Of course, he would not have been able to stand by the pen name he had run for many years and was abused by a ** merchant, and his reputation was ruined by feces. So even if he was determined to live in seclusion at home, he had to run out to burn the fire dragon after hearing this... But since that's the case, should we tell our father the truth?"
Speaking of this, Chen Feihu couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Chen Jinghai did not hesitate to create a name like Fire Dragon Burning Pan, but refused to negotiate with the Publishing Alliance in a dignified manner. Of course, he did not want his true identity to be exposed. Once he told his father about this, according to Shen Ziqiong's usual temperament, half a person in Shencheng would know the truth in about half a day.
Chen Feihong said: "Investigating the truth about the Fire Dragon Burning Pan is not only the work entrusted by my father, but also the focus of attention for the whole city. As for how to deal with the truth, it is my father's problem. We should not take our own decisions on work issues."
"What he said is..." Chen Feihu sighed. His brother has always been upright in his business and has no bias and meticulous in his style. This answer is reasonable.
It’s a pity that Chen Jinghai is the secret that has been hard-working for so many years, I’m afraid it will be in full swing.
At the same time, in a manor on the outskirts of Shencheng, Chen Jinghai was sitting in front of the desk, writing letters carefully, stroke by stroke.
"Mr. City Lord, three days ago, I burned the third edition of the original jade plate made by Hongjin Publishing Store. As of now, although the Publishing Alliance still has plans to continue to hype and explore surplus value, it has stopped making jade plates. My subordinates will continue to pay attention to this matter. Once they have any abnormal movement, I will immediately take action and use the fire dragon to burn the plate to punish them. If they do not change their teachings, my subordinates intend to use the Yuanmagnetic traction technique to attract the heavenly tribulation and thunder, kill the main evil, and warn others..."
After writing this letter, Chen Jinghai sighed softly, folded the letter paper and put it into the envelope, and sent it into the city with a nearly transparent glass flying sword.
Then, a gentle woman's voice came from behind.
"I'm not surprised, I'm busy with the Three Livestone's affairs? Is it very difficult?"
Chen Jinghai turned around and saw his wife Caier's gentle and beautiful face, which looked particularly charming under the afternoon sunlight. He couldn't help but smile: "There is nothing to be tricky. Just punish a few unlucky businessmen."
Cai'er frowned: "If you just punish the profiteer, why do you have to come forward in person and do it so sneaky?"
Chen Jinghai said: "The city lord has his life, so I should follow it. As for why we should use this roundabout way... from a different perspective, if not, how can you stop those publishers?"
Cai'er thought for a while: "Just tell them clearly that you are illegal and stealing someone's pseudonym is shameless."
Chen Jinghai said: "The pseudonym Sanshengshi is not registered. In other words, anyone can use it if they want to. Even if this behavior is suspected of fraud, there is no law at present. Unless Sanshengshi himself comes forward to declare, but of course there is no such statement now..."
Before he finished speaking, Cai'er asked curiously: "Since Mr. Sansheng Shi himself didn't say anything, why do you go to burn the original jade plate?"
Chen Jinghai looked at his curious wife, pondered for a long time, and said, "Cai'er, there shouldn't be a secret between husband and wife, but this matter is of great importance. I need you to keep it absolutely confidential. Can you do it?"
Cai'er's eyes shone and nodded vigorously: "Of course!"
Chen Jinghai looked at his wife's innocent expression and thought that it was absolutely delusion to expect her to keep it secret. So he said with a doting smile: "Three Lives Stone is the signature of Shencheng. Although the city lord lives behind the scenes, he still cares about Shencheng. He naturally hates this kind of behavior that damages Shencheng's cultural image. However, he currently has no official position and is not convenient for publicly to solve it, so he entrusts me to solve it."
"Ah, so that's it." Cai'er continued to nod, "I will definitely keep the secret!"
"Well, I believe you." Chen Jinghai touched his wife's head, felt the smoothness of her hair, and couldn't help but feel impulse in his heart again.
To be honest, Cai'er is really different from Cai'er who performed flawlessly during a blind date. The conversation and behavior are all just right, just like a tailor-made perfect goddess. After marriage, Cai'er quickly turned into an innocent little girl, and her reason and wisdom at the beginning disappeared.
If we look at it from the perspective of the shocking sea at that time, such a woman would definitely not be qualified.
But during the marriage, Chen Jinghai was also open-minded.
Although Cai'er has all kinds of problems.
