"So what you are saying is that someone is helping the police, or maybe the other party is not so indestructible on the inside?" Shen Mian's voice rose slightly.
"Yes." Yin Jinchuan nodded.
He paused for a moment before speaking again: "I said this to let you have an idea of this case in advance. As you can guess, you have been involved since the night before we met at the B&B. From now on It seems that the whole case is much more complicated than initially expected. However, with Qiao Anran, Song Qi and the person who fired the gun at the Moon God Festival, there is a breakthrough in finding the whole case, but it may take some time. "
Song Qi was the one who had been arrested and was handcuffed in the police car in the afternoon.
He said this because he was afraid that Shen Mian would think that the matter he was involved in was too serious.
"Just leave the follow-up part to us." When Yin Jinchuan said this, the expression on his face softened a lot.
"You mean, I can retire after my success?" Shen Mian asked.
"What I mean is, if you want, you can go back to your own home in the city. And the place you live now is also within the scenic area. If things are really as we suspected, all or most of them will If some villagers are involved, it will be better for your safety to leave there." Yin Jinchuan explained.
He applied for a search warrant, which already made some of them wary.
It's not safe for Shen Mian and the others to continue living there.
Moreover, he seemed to be smiling, but he paid his salary. Even if he was the temporary boss, it was too obvious that the employee in front of him wanted to run away.
After hearing this, Shen Mian reacted quickly.
"Oh, it means the free accommodation is gone." She chuckled and joked, and then suddenly thought of something: "Qiao Jiaying also asked her to go home? Her situation is a bit special."
Regarding this point, Yin Jinchuan has already considered this: "She temporarily lived with you before, mainly because the situation at home was unclear. Now that she has figured out what happened, and she has not graduated yet. You can choose to first Return to school to live, or Qiao Anran will make other arrangements. She is already an adult, so this depends on Qiao Jiaying's own wishes. "
At this point, he paused: "You wouldn't want a good person to go to the end and let her live with you, would you?"
After saying that, Yin Jinchuan met her gaze, and his half-smiling expression became more obvious.
"You also said that she has not graduated yet, so it is most convenient for students to live on campus." Shen Mian naturally saw the meaning in Yin Jinchuan's eyes.
She and Qiao Jiaying have been getting along well these days, but this is not the reason why she needs to be responsible to each other.
She is not a bad person. She always wants to be responsible for other people's lives and does not want to interfere with other people's choices.
"However, you may still need to talk to her about this matter." Yin Jinchuan coughed lightly: "It should be easier for you than me."
Shen Mian responded.
Take people's money and eliminate disasters for them. She still understands this truth.
But...she glanced at Yin Jinchuan, and it turned out that he also knew that he was quite scary when facing other girls.
Yin Jinchuan ignored Shen Mian's gaze very naturally, and then handed over another document at hand: "This is the location of a B&B with a similar structure that we found in the afternoon. From field surveys and reports to some B&B owners During the questioning, I found that not everyone knew that there was a problem with their house. Just like the one you lived in."
At this time, Shen Mian recalled some conversations between the owner of the B&B and his wife. They seemed to be surprised and wary of the words appearing on the wall of their room, and even tried to cooperate with the police to restore their reputation. . After all, they are in business, and if something like this happened to their B&B, it would also have an impact on their livelihood.
Therefore, it is not impossible that they did not know about the secret passage at that time.
However, this does not mean that they are ignorant of the whole matter.
So, when did his attitude begin to change slightly?
She remembered that when the B&B owner discovered the path that the young couple took up the mountain, his expression changed somewhat.
At that time, he raised his voice when he spoke... maybe not without the intention of reminding others.
"Not knowing that there are problems with one's own house can itself explain something. Many of these B&Bs were built or renovated along with the development of scenic spots. If the owners of the houses really don't know anything about it, then the people who made these structures People must know, that is... the people who decorated the house in the first place." Shen Mian thought.
Yin Jinchuan, who was on the opposite side, took over: "During the development and construction of the scenic spot, unified and standardized management was implemented, so if you trace it back upwards, it should be traced back to the same group of people. I am asking people to check that company."
"Take the B&B I stayed in as an example. The owners you found who knew there were problems with their B&B may not have known about it at first, but they accidentally discovered something was wrong, perhaps to protect themselves. Maybe you choose to join them to protect others, or maybe you choose to join them for profit. If you want to get the truth out of them, Captain Yin, your next job will not be easy."
Although Shen Mian had no practical experience in this aspect, he knew that those villagers were not easy to deal with.
"People are selfish, and when it comes to their own interests, it is not impossible to expose others. Today's discoveries are enough to be used as bargaining chips in negotiations with them." Yin Jinchuan didn't think this was anything. A little more troublesome.
"Um, so, what do you need me to do?"
Shen Mian asked directly.
She didn't think Yin Jinchuan would say these things to her for no reason. After all, the things on the table were enough to make him anxious, and he would most likely not have time to talk nonsense with her here.
Sure enough, Yin Jinchuan across from him twitched his lips and said, "There are some guys who I might need you to talk to at that time."
"Me?" Will there be less people in the police force who can understand the situation with those people?
"I discovered the last time you talked to Qiao Anran. In addition to your ability to control the other person's psychological situation, your face is quite confusing."
After hearing this, Shen Mian stared at the other party expressionlessly.
She had reason to think that the other party was implying her, oh, no, it was out in the open!
She shouldn't be in a hurry to ask Gu Henzhi to return those books. She should make a backup and give it directly to Yin Jinchuan so that they can study on their own.
Thinking of this, her thoughts unconsciously turned elsewhere.
Speaking of borrowing books, Gu Henzhi's library was a place that really interested her.
