Wei Duo was puzzled. What happened to Qiao Jiaying was obviously that someone had kidnapped him, but the reason for the kidnapping was not clear yet. As long as the person was caught, why should he worry about the lack of evidence?
"You mean the person who was kidnapped together with Qiao Jiaying? Strangely enough, we didn't receive any reports from others reporting that someone was missing..."
Shen Mian did not answer Wei Duo's guess. She lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling with her eyes somewhat vacant.
Even if they are not involved, no one knows what kind of actions a person will make once interests or some complicated feelings are involved.
Just like the owner and proprietress of the B&B before, even though they actually complained and even felt aggrieved that these things had affected their business, they still chose to hide their thoughts when they discovered something.
It's not that they are bad people, they just make different choices.
Because Shen Mian didn't speak and Wei Duo stopped speaking, their breathing gradually became calmer.
Early the next morning.
When Shen Shen woke up and was going to wash up, as soon as he opened the bedroom door, he smelled the aroma of food.
She subconsciously glanced at the restaurant and prepared to go to the bathroom, but suddenly she found Wei Duo sitting upright next to the dining table, but there were still sounds in the kitchen, and it was obvious that someone was inside.
This discovery made Shen Mian pause for a moment. After washing up, she curiously walked towards the restaurant.
When she stood in front of the dining table, she was instantly dazzled by the various breakfasts on the table.
Is she... hallucinating?
"How is this going?"
Shen Mian didn't remember any place to buy breakfast nearby, and there probably wasn't much in the refrigerator of the house they lived in. After all, it was said that the house had been vacant before she and Wei Duo moved in. Quite some time.
"Xiao Qiao made it. Now I feel that whoever marries her in the future will be really lucky." Wei Duo sighed while looking in the direction of the kitchen.
"What did Sister Wei say..."
As soon as Wei Duo finished speaking, he saw Qiao Jiaying carrying a tray with freshly made soy milk for three people.
At this time, her cheeks looked slightly red. Combined with what she just said, it was obvious that she heard Wei Duo's emotion.
Shen Mian picked up a small piece of egg pancake with chopsticks and put it into his mouth, and his eyes instantly lit up.
"I think she's right, it's much more delicious than what she made." Shen Mian said with a smile.
Wei Duo next to him said quietly: "People who can't cook are not qualified to comment. If you are able, don't eat the food I cook."
"Oh, I'm telling you not to be proud. It means that you still have room for improvement in the future. To be a human being, you have to constantly learn and make progress. You can't always stand still, right?"
"So I have to thank you for giving me the opportunity to improve?"
"No, no, no, who among us is following the other!" A bright smile made Shen Mian's whole body sparkle.
Qiao Jiaying sat across the table, watching the two of them bickering, and her originally tense mood relaxed a lot.
"Your relationship is so good." She said with emotion.
Although her popularity seems to be pretty good in recent years, both in school and part-time jobs, and everyone thinks well of her, it seems that she can't find any friends who can really talk so unscrupulously.
This also led to her current dilemma. She didn't dare to go home for the time being, but she didn't know where to go.
Seeing that Qiao Jiaying's mood suddenly dropped, Wei Duo winked at Shen Mian.
"Your current situation is a bit special. For your safety, please stay here with me for two days." Shen Mian said while reaching out to peel the eggs. "My original plan was to check out the B&B and go home after the Moon Worship Festival, but now it seems that this plan may be ruined."
Qiao Jiaying's expression darkened for a moment when she heard her say that she originally planned to go home today, and then heard the reverse.
Before she could say anything, she suddenly heard Shen Mian ask her: "What do you think of the people who arrested you? Their situation should be regarded as an attempted kidnapping, which is the case here. Of course, If you add in other charges, that’s not necessarily the case.”
Wei Duo, who was sitting next to Shen Mian, looked at her with wide eyes.
He asked her to comfort Qiao Jiaying, ease the atmosphere, and forget about those bad things for the time being.
See what she's talking about?
Shen Mian naturally understood what Wei Duo meant, but her thoughts were not consistent.
Qiao Jiaying is already an adult, and she will officially enter society soon. She needs to learn to make her own judgments and methods of dealing with what happens to her. At this point, no one can decide for her.
Moreover, judging from the current status of this case, she is both a victim and a key witness.
What's more, she doesn't think Qiao Jiaying is such a fragile person. Since she was able to escape from the hands of those people, it was not just due to luck.
Sure enough, after being silent for a few seconds, Qiao Jiaying finally spoke: "I don't know... I need to think about it..."
Originally, she thought about finally escaping from there, but she had not actually considered what Shen Mian said.
"Well, of course, if you need advice, you can come to me." Shen Mian smiled.
She is...
Wei Duo looked at his sister with a thoughtful look in his eyes. According to his understanding of her, she really wanted to do something.
"Okay, thank you sister Mian." Qiao Jiaying smiled back at Shen Mian.
After the three of them finished breakfast, Wei Duo received a call from Yin Jinchuan. Shen Mian didn't hear what the other person was saying, but only saw that her face didn't look very good.
"What's wrong?"
"The captain and the others took people to the place mentioned by Xiao Qiao overnight, but apart from finding traces of someone staying there, they only caught two sneaky figures, and no one else was seen. Just in case, we also conducted special inspections at the entrance and exit of the scenic spot, and no suspicious persons were found."
As soon as these words came out, Shen Mian frowned slightly, while Qiao Jiaying's face obviously turned pale.
Wei Duo, who was on the opposite side, continued: "Now we need classmate Xiao Qiao to identify and see if those two people are among the people you mentioned. And Mianmian... the captain said he wants to talk to you."
Talk?
Shen Mian immediately realized that it was probably the last photo she gave him.
"Then let's go together."
Since you have taken people's money, you naturally have to help with the work. But...she is actually not short of money, and she doesn't want to encounter this kind of thing again in the future!
She would rather do physical training every day like Gu Henzhi rather than waste her brain!
By the way, that anti-addiction time should have passed by now.
She couldn't say that to her boyfriend in person last night, so she just left a message. If she didn't open a new copy, she wouldn't even have the points to leave a message! I don’t know if it has something to do with the fact that she bought a simple version of the communicator. If she really can’t earn so many points... How much does it cost to redeem a permanent version of the communicator?
The reward Yin Jinchuan gave this time should be enough...
