This thing is not uncommon. In Lao Han's profession, he is naturally no stranger to these things.
Old Han frowned, quickly stepped forward, took out a pair of specially made handcuffs, and fastened them on the maid named Xu's ankles and wrists.
As a result, the whole posture looks very awkward, and unless it has wings, it is impossible to escape.
Lao Han didn't care about avoiding suspicion and started searching the maid.
After a while, several pieces of evidence were found.
Each of these items contains highly toxic substances. They are not serious items at first glance and should never appear in the home of the ruler.
Old Han checked these things one by one, sent them to the governor, and explained in a low voice the toxicity and harm of these poisons.
It can be said that if any of the poisons here are ingested, unless there are rescue measures on site, there is only a little hope that the person can be saved.
There is a high probability that once ingested, you will definitely die.
At this moment, Huang Ma, who had been protecting the maid named Xu before, was completely dumbfounded. She completely collapsed. She never thought that she would almost become the other party's accomplice and almost kill the leader's family.
"You...you damn white-eyed wolf! You actually poisoned me? The Han family has shown such great kindness to us, and you actually repaid it with hatred. Are you still a human being? Doesn't your conscience hurt?"
Huang's mother turned pale, and her emotions of anger, self-blame, and despair made her collapse.
Before, she felt aggrieved and sad because of Jiang Yue's words. She even shed tears in front of the ruler, and even defended Xiao Xu.
Only now do I realize how stupid my behavior was. He was sold by someone and paid for it on his behalf.
"Huang Ma, don't blame yourself. This person may not be from your hometown."
Huang Ma looked at Jiang Yue with a look of astonishment and red eyes, feeling guilty and grateful at the same time.
If this young man hadn't forced himself to come forward, she would have caused a huge disaster this time. If that were the case, she would not be able to atone for her sins even if she died a hundred times.
"Old Han, do you remember the replicator?"
Old Han Ning nodded: "Xiao Jiang, do you think she is a replicator?"
"right."
"You could tell when you walked in?"
"We have dealt with replicators so many times, and we know something about them. The aura of this person vaguely reminded me of déjà vu. To be honest, I wasn't sure at first, so I observed this It took a long time before I was sure that there was definitely something wrong with this guy."
Jiang Yue didn't lie.
He was just a little skeptical at first.
Through various detailed observations, he found that this maid was indeed somewhat strange.
Then he used his borrowed vision ability to pay attention to this person's every move.
Others are in the restaurant and cannot see the kitchen at all. But with the viewing skill turned on, people can clearly observe the situation in the kitchen while sitting in the restaurant.
In this way, some of this person's small movements can be seen clearly.
Jiang Yue then called them together and asked them a few questions. Through his mind-exploring skills, he could see that this person's heart was extremely hollow and that he was completely sullen and cruel.
Old Han sighed: "I was negligent and almost missed a big event."
"Xiao Jiang, our old Han family owes you another favor."
Jiang Yue didn't care whether he owed a favor or not.
Even if he is a stranger, Jiang Yue will not sit idly by and ignore something like this.
The Lord in charge was surprisingly calm and did not lose his composure because of an unexpected incident. He was worthy of the city government's self-cultivation as a high-ranking official.
Jiang Yue admired this Qi-nurturing skill.
On the other hand, Mother Huang was really in pain at the moment. She shouted several times that she didn't want to live anymore, that she was sorry for the Han family, and begged the ruler to punish her.
The person in charge wrote lightly: "Mom Huang, don't blame yourself. Like Xiao Jiang said, it's not Xiao Xu who did the evil, it's the evil monster, and it has nothing to do with you."
"I was confused. I almost became a sinner. I felt wronged just now and wanted to argue with Xiao Jiang. I really deserve to die. I am an old fool."
"Mom Huang, don't blame yourself for now. This Xiao Xu, have you always been together? Is there anything unusual about her recently?"
Convicting people of crimes is now the second priority. The key is to figure out how this replicator got in.
Based on previous experience, it is impossible for monsters like replicators to obtain information through questioning.
Therefore, we have to learn about the situation from other channels.
Huang Ma probably also knew that the matter was important, so she tried to think back.
"We are actually together every day. Except for sleeping in the same room, we are almost together the rest of the time. I don't see anything wrong with her. It's pretty much the same as usual."
"Where were you these days before coming here?"
"us……"
"Xiao Jiang, our Han family has other properties in Star City. Before coming here, they had been in another place, so there should be no problem." Old Han took the initiative to explain.
Jiang Yue sighed: "That's a little bit wrong. You can't say that the replicators have infiltrated your Han family's industry and you know nothing about it, right? If this is the case, it should be even more vigilant."
The big and dignified family is still in charge of Star City. How could he be penetrated so easily by a monster? ?
If it can be penetrated so easily, there will be a first time, who can guarantee that there will not be a second time?
Huang Ma suddenly said: "By the way, I remembered. A few weeks ago, a few of us went shopping together. That time we spent a long time on the street, visited the mall, and bought clothes. During that time, We were separated briefly.”
"Tell me more about it."
"At that time, we went shopping and tried on clothes in many stores. We tried our best and then parted ways. Later, we contacted each other through WeChat. I remember a detail at that time. Xiao Xu showed up last, and she was empty-handed. I didn’t buy anything. Her clothes looked a little messy. We thought she was being bullied and asked her about it. She didn’t say anything at the time. She looked a little dull.”
"She usually loves shopping. She has a son who is in middle school, and she buys a lot of things for her son every time. And her personality is usually very optimistic and cheerful. That's why we wonder if she is being bullied. "
Jiang Yue and Lao Han looked at each other.
I think most of the situation happened during that time, right?
"Han Chu, it seems that the situation is more serious than we imagined. We are still guessing that the assassination chess pieces have been arranged for you. I think the defense of Villa No. 8 is just like this. Have you ever thought about it? If someone really has this idea again and plans to take action in this Daozi Lane villa, how can you ensure the safety of the ruler?"
Of course Jiang Yue knew that there were several security personnel stationed in the dark places of Villa No. 8.
If an emergency were to occur, there would definitely be a big question mark as to whether these few manpower would be enough.
It stands to reason that Daozi Lane Villa is absolutely safe.
But now that the situation is so chaotic, who can guarantee that there are no people with bad intentions lurking in the Daozi Lane Villa?
Especially after experiencing the dispute over Villa No. 9, Jiang Yue had great doubts about the safety of the Daozi Lane Villa.
"Fourth, please arrange the things here first." The Lord in charge greeted, and then stood up, "Mr. Bai, Xiao Jiang, come with me to the study."
"I want to go too." Han Jingjing said hurriedly.
"Follow your fourth uncle." The ruler has always been kind-hearted, and rarely speaks with a straight face even to his own daughter. This time, his tone seemed quite serious, with an unquestionable tone.
Han Jingjing had rarely seen her father so stern, with her mouth raised. Although she felt aggrieved, she did not dare to say anything more. He looked at Jiang Yue eagerly, probably hoping that Jiang Yue would ask for a favor.
"It's useless for you to look at Xiao Jiang." The Lord in charge completely stopped her thoughts.
Jiang Yue waved his hand helplessly towards Han Jingjing, indicating that he would talk later.
The three of them came to the study room.
The Lord in charge sighed: "Xiao Jiang, thanks to you today, this is a life-saving grace."
Mr. Bai also nodded: "Even an old man like me has lost his sight. Young people are terrible. It's really hard not to accept old age."
"To put it seriously, you probably wouldn't have thought that an old man of so many years would have problems."
Both the leader and Mr. Bai shook their heads helplessly. It was obvious that they were somewhat depressed, and at the same time they also had a clear sense of crisis.
I knew the situation was dire before, but I never expected that the crisis would come so quickly.
The enemies were all in sight. They didn't even know which direction the enemies were coming from or who the enemies were.
"Xiao Jiang, I met with Deputy General Manager Wan yesterday."
This did not surprise Jiang Yue. Before Jiang Yue left, someone came to invite the Lord in charge, who must have met with Deputy Manager Wan.
It's just that two high-ranking officials from different camps would definitely not be able to piss in a pot even if they met.
Jiang Yue guessed that the meeting would not be pleasant and the atmosphere would not be harmonious.
"Deputy General Wan slammed the table yesterday."
Jiang Yue smiled and said nothing, so what if he slapped the table? It's time to hit the table and it's no use. Jiang Yue didn't feel sorry for Deputy General Manager Wan's palm, but he felt sorry for the table.
"Xiao Jiang, Deputy General Manager Wan wanted me to put pressure on you, but I refused. He was very unhappy about this. But it doesn't matter. No matter what position an official reaches, he cannot lose his basic principles and his respect for the law and reason. . You have the right to inherit Villa No. 9, and as evidenced by Mr. Guo’s will, you are legally sound."
"I estimate that he will take tougher measures next, Xiao Jiang, you must be mentally prepared."
"Tougher measures?" Jiang Yue said with a smile, "I'm curious about what kind of tough measures? You can't bulldoze Villa No. 9 with artillery shells, right?"
"That's not to say, unless you are crazy, you will definitely not do such a thing that risks the world's disapproval. Besides, this is not something that a regional deputy general manager can decide on."
"I heard that there are a few strange people around Deputy General Manager Wan. Perhaps, this will be the card he wants to play next."
Jiang Yue smiled and said: "There have been people like this peeking around my Villa No. 9 in the past two days. As long as he plays his cards according to the rules, I can keep playing this card with him."
"I'm afraid it's easy to hide from an open gun, but hard to guard against a hidden arrow." Mr. Bai said with emotion.
"Mr. Bai is right, Xiao Jiang, Deputy General Manager Wan's attitude is already very resolute. Whether it's overt or covert, you have to be mentally prepared."
"Thank you for the reminder. As a junior, I would venture to say that the leader must also be on guard against some people jumping over the wall. The previous incident should not be an accident. I estimate that the other party may have targeted the leader. If it doesn’t work, the chess pieces may be activated again in the next step. Don’t be careless.”
The leader and Mr. Bai looked at each other with complicated expressions.
"Xiao Jiang, I want to ask you a favor privately."
"You are serious."
"Xiao Jiang, I'm not being polite to you. As you said, the current situation is complicated, and no one can be sure what will happen in the next moment. In peacetime, it is basically impossible for me to be in charge of any unexpected events. But now... stare For my position, there are many people who want to take my place. Some people see me as a thorn in their side and want to get rid of me immediately. So, what happened today really sounded the alarm for me."
"If something unexpected happens to me one day, Xiao Jiang, I ask you to take care of Jingjing for me, okay? She is an innocent child, and she is still so young. I don't want her to get involved in these intrigues."
this……
Is this considered a tuogu?
No wonder Han Jingjing was not allowed in.
"In charge, the matter is not serious yet, right?" Jiang Yue said with a bitter smile.
"I mean just in case! Just in case one day comes, Xiao Jiang, can you promise me?"
"Isn't the powerful Han family more reliable than a young boy like me?" Jiang Yue still couldn't understand.
"Hey, Xiao Jiang, it seems that you still refuse to agree to me." The leader sighed, "I don't blame you. I, the leader, seem to outsiders to be in a high position, but I can't do anything for you. To kidnap you morally for no reason is indeed a bit overwhelming."
"Being in charge is not about forcing others to do things. If one day Jingjing really needs my help, I won't hesitate without asking."
"Okay! Let me just say that I won't see the wrong person. Xiao Jiang, it's not that I'm pessimistic. In the current situation, there are some things I have to do. Once I express my attitude and do these things, those invisible guns and secret arrows will attack like crazy. I greeted you. I must have this awareness."
"But, I have to do these things. As the leader of Star City, I have to carry the safety of Star City and the safety of the people of Star City on my shoulders no matter what. If someone has to carry the explosive pack to do this, As the leader, I have the unshirkable responsibility and should be at the forefront."
The current situation in Star City seems calm on the surface, but in fact it has been undercurrent for a long time, like a pot of slowly boiling water that is finally boiling.
This is like a powder keg. Once it is ignited, countless people will be blown to pieces.
"Xiao Jiang, if one day it comes to the point where nothing can be done, you must go and seek refuge with the military. I am an old friend of General Tong, the military general of the Central and South Region. As long as the military strength is still there, the world of this great country will be , it can’t be turned over.”
Jiang Yue was secretly surprised. Hearing the leader's tone, it seemed that he really didn't have much confidence in what was going to happen next.
It's no wonder that the underground force has developed so rapidly. The forces in Star City are intricately connected, and its influence may have far exceeded the expectations of the ruler.
Mr. Bai was responsible for investigating this matter and must have collected a lot of unfavorable information.
There is probably only one choice left to the ruler now.
Go ahead to dangers.
Knowing that you can't do something but doing it is a warrior!
