The slightly ancient courtyard radiates a sense of tranquility under the afterglow of the setting clouds.
Meng Xiaotu pushed open the door very familiarly, stared at the old yellow dog who wanted to bark, and then shouted into the house: "Old Jiang!"
This is the small courtyard where Lao Jiang lives.
After investigating the secret library, Li Nanke took Meng Xiaotu to question the first suspect, Lao Jiang.
Red Rain theft case.
The restaurant deliberately set a trap.
There are too many secrets hidden in Lao Jiang, and I don’t know what plan is hidden behind it.
And he was the only one with a motive.
Resurrection of wife and children.
This reason was enough for him to do something illegal. Even if his wife and children could only be resurrected for ten days, it would be enough.
No wonder my uncle gave me five days to investigate the case.
After all, it was exactly the tenth day since Hongyu was stolen and the investigation ended.
"Huh? Is there no one?"
Little Rabbit shouted twice but no one responded, so he went to push the door open.
Before the girl's white fingertips touched the door panel, the door suddenly opened, startling Meng Xiaotu.
Seeing that it was Lao Jiang, Little Rabbit patted his chest and complained: "I've been calling you for a long time, and I thought you were out. It scared me." After saying that, he was about to enter the house, but was stopped by the other party.
"What are you doing here?" Lao Jiang asked.
Meng Xiaotu raised her chin and pointed at Li Nanke, who was teasing the old yellow dog, and said with resentment: "This Mr. Li has received the attention of Mr. General Secretary and wants to investigate the case, so I will lead the way."
Li Nanke came over and said with a smile: "Old Jiang, can we talk in the room first? I have something to ask you."
"No, just say it here."
Lao Jiang closed the door.
Li Nanke frowned and said as casually as possible: "It's about the theft of Miku Hongyu. It may have been a long time ago."
"Just ask."
Lao Jiang still had no intention of letting the two of them enter the house.
The careless Meng Xiaotu simply expressed her dissatisfaction, "Old Jiang, do you have a gold mine or something at home, and you can't just sit still? In the past, when my sister-in-law was here -"
The girl quickly closed her mouth with an annoyed look on her face.
After all, you can't say such sad things in front of others.
"Yes, I'm sorry."
Meng Xiaotu blamed herself, forced an apologetic smile towards Lao Jiang, and scolded herself several times inwardly.
I wish I could crack open the melon seeds in my little head and stuff some walnuts into it.
Lao Jiang forced a smile without saying anything, and said to Li Nanke: "The Qinglong Department has already inquired about the theft of Hongyu from the secret warehouse, and there should be records."
"Yes, I just want to know more details."
Seeing that the other party had no intention of inviting them into the house, Li Nanke did not force himself and said directly, "After the Xuanwu Department personnel counted the quantities, they first handed the list to you, right?"
"right."
"Then you suddenly had a stomachache and gave Dazhu the list."
"right."
Lao Jiang answered simply.
Li Nanke said: "Normally, it takes about a quarter of an hour for the staff on duty to count the number of red rains, because they have to carefully check the numbers, etc. But that day you were upset, so Dazhu could only do the counting alone.
Dazhu was quite stupid, and since he was the only one, it took at least half the time, which was about half a stick of incense.
But at this time, you are too late. Why does it take so long? "
This is a point that Li Nanke is confused about.
After spending half an hour going to the hut, it is impossible to sit there with a mobile phone.
Facing Li Nanke's doubts, Lao Jiang said calmly: "My stomach was really uncomfortable that day. I just took a few steps out of the latrine and started making trouble again. I trembled a few times and it was too late to go back."
"Did anyone see you? Can they testify?"
"No."
Lao Jiang shook his head.
Li Nanke was speechless. There is no witness, nothing. Your suspicion is getting heavier and heavier.
The little rabbit stood aside happily.
Never dared to speak out.
The rays of the setting sun smeared on the girl's pretty and plump body, and the short skirt also fluttered gently in the evening breeze.
She simply took out a carrot from under her skirt and ate it.
A crunching sound.
At this moment, a sound that sounded like a washbasin being knocked over suddenly came from inside the house, which stunned everyone present.
"What's the sound? Lao Jiang, is there anyone at home?"
Meng Xiaotu blinked her beautiful eyes in confusion.
Lao Jiang looked indifferent, and there was nothing unusual on his face, "Maybe it was a wild cat that ran into the house."
As soon as he finished speaking, a black wild cat jumped out of the window.
The little rabbit glanced at it and didn't care.
Li Nanke continued to ask: "Do you know Qi Xinghu from Xuanyuan Club?"
"I heard it."
"Have you seen it?"
"No."
"If it were up to you to decide, who do you think is most suspected of stealing Hong Yu? The White Tiger Department or the Xuanwu Department?"
Li Nanke gave the other party a choice.
Lao Jiang showed a meaningful smile and replied in a self-deprecating tone: "I am the most suspicious."
"Old Jiang, please stop joking at this time."
Meng Xiaotu's cute little face showed a bit of dissatisfaction, and she said softly,
“I know you’ve been through a lot, and now you’re being treated as a suspect, and you’re not happy.
But don't worry, Da Mingming is very good at investigating crimes. He will definitely clear your name and shut up those idiots in the Xuanwu Department. Just cooperate well and don't get angry, okay? "
In the girl's heart, she never thought that the other party would steal Hong Yu.
Feeling Meng Xiaotu's sincere concern, Lao Jiang's somewhat cold face regained some softness.
He looked towards the remaining glow in the sky and seemed to be thinking.
The cheeks covered with stubble were dyed a little complicated.
After a long time, he looked at Li Nanke and said: "Xiao Li, I can't tell you more. I can only guarantee you that I didn't steal Hongyu. I just..."
Old Jiang remained silent midway through his words.
Li Nanke stared at Lao Jiang for a moment and then changed the subject of the inquiry.
"If Ji Xiuwan wants to take revenge on Sister Leng, how do you think she will take revenge?"
Lao Jiang thought for a while and said softly: "According to normal thinking, it is unlikely that Ji Xiuwan would dare to retaliate against Nannan himself with a boss who is his elder brother protecting him.
Let alone a personal attack, she wouldn't even dare to throw dirty water on him.
An official will always be an official, and a thief will always be a thief.
No matter how powerful Ji Xiuwan was, once she aroused Leng Siyuan's anger, the damage suffered would be unbearable for that woman.
However, the woman couldn't guess with normal thinking.
She is a complete lunatic.
You never guess what crazy thing she's going to do out of the blue. "
Li Nanke understood clearly, "So, if Ji Xiuwan is not crazy and chooses to retaliate in a normal way, there is a high probability that she will target the people around Sister Leng.
Like little rabbit, like you, like Guo Gang, like me? "
Lao Jiang looked at him and said calmly: "That day in the restaurant, if you chose not to say anything in the end, you would be very safe. After all, no matter how powerful Ji Xiuwan is, he will never guess your relationship.
But now, you are the most dangerous.
That woman will definitely investigate your background. Once she retaliates in a regular way, she will most likely target you first. "
Hearing Lao Jiang's analysis, Li Nanke felt a stone fall in his heart.
As long as the other party doesn't target Sister Leng herself, that's OK.
The premise is that the woman doesn't have convulsions.
But this is also Lao Jiang's real purpose of setting up a trap in the restaurant.
Because you can't guarantee that Ji Xiuwan's mind will be normal, so for the safety of his sister, Leng Siyuan must take the initiative.
The little rabbit on the side heard what Lao Jiang said and looked at Li Nanke with worried eyes.
"Okay, then I won't disturb you."
Li Nanke knew that there were not many clues to be found from Lao Jiang, so he stopped wasting time.
This guy's psychological quality is too strong to deal with.
"Goodbye, old ginger."
The little rabbit waved his hand.
After watching the two people go away, Lao Jiang turned around and entered the house until the figure completely disappeared from sight.
Close the door again.
The light in the room was dim, with a hint of gloom.
Lao Jiang didn't light the lamp, and sat silently on the rattan chair, staring blankly at an old landscape painting on the wall.
"does it worth?"
The woman's voice was somewhat sad.
Lao Jiang moved his eyes and looked at the woman standing alone at the door of the back room.
The other party gently caressed her bulging belly, and the dim light hid her in the shadows, making it difficult to see the expression on her face.
Lao Jiang took out a box from under the table.
Looking at the bottles of Red Rain inside, he was silent for a while and said in a deep voice: "It's worth it!"
——
Walking on the street, Li Nanke was still thinking about the case.
Lao Jiang is the most suspect because he has sufficient motive and ability to commit crimes.
But think about it on the other hand,
Lao Jiang's motive for committing the crime was that he wanted to resurrect his wife and children.
But the resurrection of the grave people does not necessarily have to be pure red rain. It can also be done by getting some medicinal materials mixed with "red rain".
For example, in Dongqi County, Mei Xinger resurrected He Qingyu.
It was because she took medicinal materials mixed with red rain.
Thinking about it this way, most of Lao Jiang's suspicions were eliminated.
After all, with his status, it is not difficult to get some red rain medicinal materials. There is no need to take risks to steal the pure red rain from the secret warehouse.
Could it be that the two brothers from the Xuanwu Department were the real thieves?
It looks like we need to have a good interrogation tomorrow morning.
"Huh? Why are you still following me? Didn't I just tell you to go home?" Li Nanke asked confused, looking at Meng Xiaotu who was following behind.
The girl blushed slightly, pretending to be calm and said: "Only by the way."
"Fuck you, are you planning to treat me to a big dinner?"
Li Nanke had a look of disgust on his face.
Hearing this, Little Rabbit's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, you said before that the eldest princess invited you to a seafood dinner. Is it true or false? You must not be bragging."
"Haha, forget it if you don't believe me. I've already had sex for nothing."
Li Nanke couldn't explain the inside story, so he waved his hand and said, "But the eldest princess may brag to me in the future."
The girl still looked suspicious.
Why would the eldest princess treat this guy to a big dinner?
Could it be that he is handsome?
Looking at the man's overly handsome face, Meng Xiaotu felt that it was possible, and her suspicion turned into envy.
"Well, can you call me next time?"
The little rabbit smiled ingratiatingly.
Li Nanke snorted and said seriously: "This is not appropriate. Besides, you don't have much experience in this, unless you are a tongue-tied woman."
Meng Xiaotu was confused and said angrily: "Do you need experience to eat a seafood dinner? Forget it if you don't want to call me. You are already a stingy person. Don't do anything to me in the future!"
"Okay, okay, I will definitely call you when I get the chance."
Li Nanke responded casually. "Go home quickly, it's getting late."
The girl's face gradually softened, her apricot eyes curved like crescent moons, her small white hands cupped her heart and she began to look forward to it.
Finally, I can try the royal meal.
It must taste delicious.
After walking for a while, he found that the girl was still following him. Li Nanke was confused and said, "Go home. Are you deaf?"
Meng Xiaotu hesitated and said: "I...I'm going to buy something in front."
Li Nanke frowned and stared directly at the girl.
Gradually, he seemed to understand something, and said with a faint smile: "Did you hear Lao Jiang just say that Ji Xiuwan might take revenge on me, so you want to follow me to protect her all the way?"
"No!"
The girl immediately retorted.
However, the two blushes on her pretty round face betrayed the girl's true thoughts.
Warmth flowed in Li Nanke's heart, and he said softly: "Don't worry, I'm fine. You have to be careful yourself. Go home early. It will be very unsafe if it's too late."
"You're so sentimental! I'm not protecting you, I'm just... buying something."
The girl's voice became weaker and weaker, losing her confidence.
Seeing the man's teasing eyes, the girl suddenly felt ashamed and annoyed. She stomped her little boots wrapped in jade feet and said angrily: "It's better to be caught by that bad woman! Humph!"
After that, the girl turned and left.
Li Nanke touched his nose and smiled, then sighed inexplicably and murmured: "Sister Leng, who do you think can handle this?"
The man laughed to himself.
About twenty minutes later, Li Nanke entered the gate of his courtyard.
At this time, the round-faced girl who had been following him from a distance breathed a sigh of relief, hummed a little tune and left quietly.
