After leaving the secret library, Li Nanke saw Meng Xiaotu squatting in front of the grass and fiddling with something with a short wooden branch.
When I looked closer, I saw it was a small snail that sticks to the lake.
The little snail was brought to the top of the soft and crisp grass by the girl, and slowly squirmed, pressing the grass blades very low. Just as he was about to climb down, the girl carried him back with a wooden branch.
"Have you finished checking?"
Hearing the footsteps behind him, Meng Xiaotu asked casually.
Because he was squatting, the already huge cup of milk tea was almost overflowing when he was pressed against his knees, which made Li Nanke wonder if he would get a nasty taste in the face if he tried to get close to her.
Li Nanke hummed and asked, "Given you a choice to eliminate suspects, who would you eliminate first?"
"Don't ask me, I'm stupid."
Meng Xiaotu threw away the branch, clapped her hands, stood up and said.
Li Nanke smoothed her hair on her forehead and said with a smile: "No one who is stupid will say that he is stupid. Besides, the little rabbit is cute and must be very smart."
"Ugh~"
Facing the man's flattering compliments, the girl spit out her tongue like a lilac and made a disgusting expression.
However, Meng Xiaotu still gave her own answer.
"It must be the White Tiger Department."
"Why."
"Because they were the first to finish counting."
"That's right."
Li Nanke nodded, with an inexplicable smile on his face.
From the beginning, both the Qinglong Department and Li Nanke would first exclude the White Tiger Department personnel on duty that day.
Because they were the first to count.
No matter how much you investigate, it's impossible to pin the suspicion on them.
But looking back, think about it, if you first assume an answer. Assuming that Hong Yu was stolen by members of the White Tiger Department, how can we deduce the process of the theft?
Let’s restore the situation at that time:
First, the White Tiger Department personnel completed the inventory, and then gave the list to the Xuanwu Department. The Xuanwu Department verified that it was correct and handed the list to Lao Jiang.
Because Lao Jiang had a stomachache, he gave it to Dazhu in front of everyone.
Then Lao Jiang left.
After Lao Jiang left, the two brothers Gu Dao and Gu Yun of the Xuanwu Department also left.
Because they guard the outer gate.
At that time, only two members of the White Tiger Division and Dazhu were left in the secret library.
The members of the White Tiger Division stayed because they wanted to wait for Dazhu to finish counting and then lock the inner door together.
After all, the lock on the inner door is special and requires two keys.
So during this period, it is possible for the White Tiger Department personnel to do something.
For example, when Dazhu was not paying attention, he stole a box of red rain and stuffed it into the mouse hole. After the theft occurs, take advantage of the brief chaos to find an opportunity to move the box of red rain out.
This can be done.
Because after the theft of eucalyptus from Hongyu occurred, in order to prevent another accident, a major transfer was carried out on the remaining Hongyu.
It's easy to take this opportunity to take out Hongyu hidden in the mouse hole.
But the question is how did the list get lost?
According to the investigation, when Dazhu was counting Hongyu, the list in his hand was missing one page.
Did it disappear out of thin air?
Or did Dazhu give the list to members of the White Tiger Club?
After all, Dazhu was not very smart and a bit stupid, so it was normal for him to be deceived.
….
In order to verify his conjecture, Li Nanke went to the Suzaku Department and found the big pillar.
After explaining the purpose of his visit, Dazhu said: "Lao Jiang gave me the list at that time, and I have been holding it in my hand. I have never given it to anyone. And in the end, the list is kept with me."
"No one has touched it?" Li Nanke frowned.
Dazhu shook his head firmly and said, "Absolutely not!"
Okay, now the relationship has really reached a dead end.
If this is the case, White Tiger
The suspicion of the Ministry can be eliminated again, after all, they have never touched the list.
Even if there is a chance to steal Hongyu, there is no chance to steal a page of the list.
Unless... someone is helping them secretly.
Li Nanke thought for a long time and then asked, "Did Lao Jiang talk to anyone else or act closer to me when you were on guard that day?"
"Jin Laoba from the White Tiger Division."
Dazhuli said honestly, "Jin Laoba and Lao Jiang have a good relationship. They worked in the same department before. That day Lao Jiang came to guard the secret warehouse. Lao Ba comforted him and invited Lao Jiang to drink. It was the wine he carried with him. bag."
drink wine……
Recalling that Lao Jiang suddenly had a stomachache, Li Nanke couldn't help but make speculations.
Could it be that Jin Laoba put laxatives in the wine and tricked him into drinking it as a friend in order to deliberately distract Lao Jiang?
Go to the White Tiger Department!
Li Nanke made a decision immediately.
Compared to the cold-eyed hostility of Yu Shengtian of the Xuanwu Department, Li Donghai, the supervisor of the White Tiger Department, showed great enthusiasm after seeing Li Nanke's arrival.
"Xiao Li, I knew you were coming. I had already prepared tea and was waiting for you."
Li Donghai's fat face always had an irresistible smile. He led Li Nanke into the small room where he worked and made a cup of high-quality tea himself.
"Master Li, there is no need to be so polite."
Li Nanke took it flattered, but felt wary inside.
Compared to the grumpy Yu Shengtian, the smiling tiger like Li Donghai is the most difficult to deal with.
This is a real veteran.
Every sentence, every word may contain a blade.
"Hey, how can this be called polite? I'm obviously bribing you. After you drink my good tea, you have to help us as much as possible in the future. After all, I have heard about your deeds and you are an expert in handling affairs."
Li Donghai gave compliments without hesitation in a joking tone.
At the same time, he is also tentatively poaching corners.
Li Nanke pretended not to understand and said modestly, "It's just good luck."
"If you were just lucky, it would be impossible for Mr. Souji to think so highly of you." Li Donghai said with a smile, "Xiao Li, I don't know, you will take Mr. Souji's position in the future."
[To be honest, I have been using @ recently.
It's nothing more than finding a reason to monitor.
Li Nanke didn't bother to say anything. He raised his hands and saluted, "Thank you, Mr. Li."
Soon, two members of the White Tiger Department entered the house.
A younger man, who looked like he was in his twenties.
The other has a broad face, small eyes, and a beard. He is a middle-aged man in his forties.
It should be Lao Jiang’s former colleague, Jin Laoba.
Li Donghai said calmly: "This is Mr. Li Nanke from the Vermillion Bird Department. He is here to investigate the theft of a eucalyptus in Hongyu. Whatever Mr. Li asks, you should answer honestly. You are not allowed to hide anything. Do you understand?"
"clear."
The young man nodded quickly.
Jin Laoba stared at Li Nanke with a cautious look and said nothing.
Li Nanke, who paid attention to this point, took the lead in questioning the young man.
After questioning him, Li Nanke temporarily ruled him out based on his demeanor, tone, emotions and eyes.
He was obviously a rookie who had just joined the Night Watch Division.
Next, Li Nanke formally asked Jin Laoba.
"I heard that you and Lao Jiang are friends?"
"I can't really call him a friend, just a good relationship. We used to be in the same department, and I knew his wife."
Jin Laoba answered in a very calm tone.
His eyes did not dodge, and he looked directly at Li Nanke's face.
Li Nanke asked: "Did you treat Lao Jiang to a drink when you were on duty that day?"
"Yes, since Lao Jiang's wife passed away, I have been thinking about going to him to comfort him, but unfortunately I am too busy." Jin Laoba said calmly. "I happened to see him on duty that day, so I had some drinks with him."
"Did the two of them drink?"
"certainly."
"How many red rains did you count at that time?"
"Twenty-four boxes in total?"
"After Dazhu counted them, did he tell you that he only counted twenty-three boxes?"
"No." Jin Laoba shook his head and said, "Generally, as long as it matches the list, it means there is no problem. So at that time, none of us cared."
Li Nanke stared into his eyes and said, "Are you the last one to come out?"
….
"No, I'm in front of the pillar."
"Have you seen that mouse hole?"
Hearing Li Nanke's question, Jin Laoba's eyes flashed, and then he nodded lightly: "I know, I left it before."
Li Donghai, who was sitting on the main chair and listening, paused slightly while serving tea after hearing Li Nanke's question.
Staring at the other party thoughtfully, a cold light flashed across his eyes.
But soon, a familiar smile appeared on his face again, and no one noticed the change in his expression for a moment.
…
When we came out of the White Tiger Department, it was almost noon.
The sun hung motionless high in the sky, there wasn't a cloud in the sky, and it was quite hot.
Meng Xiaotu picked a few banana leaves from somewhere and put them on her head to prevent herself from getting tanned.
The round and cute face is set against the banana leaves, like an elf bred in the flowers and leaves, and everything about her body appears agile and lively.
At this time, Li Nanke already had an answer in his heart.
The person who stole Hong Yu is most likely Jin Laoba from the White Tiger Department. As for whether there was anyone else behind it, he didn't know.
But the problem is, he can deduce the process of Jin Laoba stealing Hongyu.
But I can't explain how the list was lost.
Because from beginning to end, Jin Laoba never touched that list.
Could it be that Lao Jiang was secretly cooperating with him?
After knowing Lao Jiang these days, it is unlikely that this guy will be easily plotted with drugs.
Of course, it is not ruled out that because of the death of his wife and children, his defensiveness was greatly reduced, and he was eventually tricked by someone.
Li Nanke pinches
Keep your eyebrows crossed and keep thinking.
"I'm so hungry, I'm so smart. I can't walk."
Meng Xiaotu rubbed her flat belly with a sad look on her face, frantically giving the man hints.
Seeing the man walking mindlessly and ignoring her at all, Meng Xiaotu puffed up her face and simply sat down on the stone steps next to her, stretching her two slender legs.
Li Nanke walked for a long time before realizing that the little rabbit was missing.
Looking back, I saw the other person sitting on the steps.
"What's wrong?"
Li Nanke walked over and asked.
Meng Xiaotu said in a low voice: "It's nothing, just go about your business."
Seeing the girl's resentful look, Li Nanke squatted down and tried to pull her nose, but the girl dodged him.
"Okay, I happen to be hungry too, so I'm going to have a big meal."
"Not hungry!"
It's rare for a girl to act a little bit crazy.
Li Nanke smiled and said, "You really don't want to go? Then I'll go and eat alone." After that, he got up and walked out of the courtyard.
But the girl still sat there, obviously determined to fight the man to the end.
Li Nanke burst into laughter and leaned in front of Meng Xiaotu. He looked at the other's delicate and flawless face and said seductively: "Hairy crabs? Beggar's chicken? And the eldest princess's seafood feast?"
The girl was unmoved, but subconsciously pursed her lips.
Li Nanke looked at the girl's glossy, jade-pink lips. Looking closely, he could see the delicate blood-threaded lines.
The man's heart felt hot and he couldn't help but come forward...
At this moment, Leng Xinnan, who had finished her work, took a stack of documents and headed towards the headquarters courtyard.
I saw this scene when I was passing by.
Madam, let me die in the middle of the night.
