Madam let me die

Chapter 138 The Secret in the Room
The slightly old courtyard is somewhat quiet under the afterglow of the sunset.

Meng Xiaotu pushed open the door very familiarly, stared at the old yellow dog who was about to bark, and then shouted into the room: "Old Jiang!"

This is the small courtyard where Lao Jiang lived.

After investigating the secret vault, Li Nanke took Meng Xiaotu to question the first suspect, Old Jiang.

Red Rain Theft.

The restaurant deliberately played tricks.

Lao Jiang has too many secrets hidden in him, and he doesn't know what plan is hidden behind it.

And he was the only one with a motive for committing the crime.

Resurrection of wife and children.

This reason is enough for him to violate discipline, even if his wife and children can only be resurrected for ten days, it is enough.

No wonder the uncle gave five days to investigate the case.

After all, it was exactly the tenth day since Hongyu was stolen and the investigation was over.

"Huh? Is there no one?"

The little rabbit yelled twice and no one responded, so he went to push the door.

The girl's white fingertips hadn't even touched the door when the door opened suddenly, startling Meng Xiaotu.

Seeing that it was Old Jiang, the little rabbit patted his chest and complained, "I've been calling you for a long time now, and I thought you were out, so I was shocked." As he spoke, he wanted to enter the house, but was stopped by the other party's hand.

"What are you doing here?" Old Jiang asked.

Meng Xiaotu raised his chin and pointed at Li Nanke, who was teasing the old yellow dog, and said with resentment: "This Mr. Li is highly valued by Mr. Zongsi, and he wants to investigate the case, so I will lead the way."

Li Nanke came over and said with a smile: "Old Jiang, can we go into the room to talk, I have something to ask you."

"No, just talk here."

Old Jiang closed the door.

Li Nanke frowned, and said casually as much as possible: "It's about the theft of Hongyu from the Secret Vault, and it may have been a long time."

"Just ask."

Old Jiang still has no plans to let the two of them into the house.

The careless Meng Xiaotu simply expressed dissatisfaction, "Old Jiang, do you have a gold mine or something at home, can't you just sit around? When my sister-in-law was here—"

The girl quickly closed her mouth with annoyed expression on her face.

After all, you can't say such sad things in front of others.

"Yes, sorry."

Meng Xiaotu blamed herself, and smiled apologetically at Lao Jiang, scolding herself several times in her heart.

I can't wait to knock open the melon seeds in my little head and stuff some walnuts in.

Lao Jiang squeezed out a smile, said nothing to Li Nanke, "The Azure Dragon Department has already inquired about the theft of Hongyu from the Secret Vault, and there should be a record."

"Yes, I just want to know some more details."

Seeing that the other party did not intend to invite them into the house at all, Li Nanke didn't force it, and said directly, "At that time, after the personnel on duty of the Xuanwu Department counted the number, they first handed over the list to you, right?"

"Correct."

"Then you suddenly had a stomachache and gave Dazhu the list again."

"Correct."

Old Jiang answered very simply.

Li Nanke said: "It usually takes about a quarter of an hour for the on-duty staff to count the number of Hongyu, because they have to carefully check the number and so on. But that day you had a stomachache, so Dazhu had to go alone to count.

Dazhu is rather stupid, and with him alone, it took at least half of the time, that is, about half a stick of incense.

And this time, you are long overdue.Why is it taking so long? "

This is a point of doubt for Li Nanke.

It takes half an hour to go to the latrine, it is impossible to squat in the pit with a mobile phone.

Faced with Li Nanke's questioning, Old Jiang said lightly: "That day my stomach was really uncomfortable. I just got out of the latrine and started arguing again. I turned around a few times, and it was too late to go back."

"Did anyone see you? Can you testify?"

"No."

Old Jiang shook his head.

Li Nanke was speechless.No witnesses, nothing, your suspicion is getting heavier and heavier.

The little rabbit stood beside her prettyly.

Never dared to speak out.

The slanting light of the setting sun was smudged on the girl's delicate and plump body, and the short skirt fluttered gently with the evening wind.

She simply took out a carrot from under her skirt and ate it.

Crackling, crunching.

At this moment, a sound that seemed to be a washbasin being knocked over suddenly came from the room, and everyone present was stunned.

"What's the sound? Old Jiang, is there anyone in your family?"

Meng Xiaotu blinked her beautiful eyes in doubt.

Old Jiang's expression was indifferent, and there was nothing unusual on his face, "Maybe it's a stray cat that ran into the house."

As soon as the words fell, a black wild cat jumped out of the window.

The little rabbit glanced at it, but didn't care.

Li Nanke continued to ask, "Do you know Qi Xinghu from the Xuanyuan Society?"

"I heard."

"Have you ever seen it?"

"No."

"If you were to judge, who do you think is the most suspected of stealing Hong Yu. Is it the White Tiger Department or the Xuanwu Department?"

Li Nanke gave the opponent a choice.

Old Jiang showed a meaningful smile, and replied in a self-deprecating tone: "My suspicion is the biggest."

"Old Jiang, stop joking at this time."

A bit of dissatisfaction appeared on Meng Xiaotu's delicate and lovely face, and she said softly,
"I know you've been through a lot, and I'm upset that you're being treated as a suspect again.

But don't worry, Dashui is very good at investigating cases, he will definitely return your innocence, and shut up the bastard son of 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, Old Jiang's somewhat stiff face softened a bit.

He stared at the remaining clouds in the sky, as if he was thinking.

The bearded cheeks were 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 assure you that I didn't steal Hongyu. I'm just..."

Old Jiang remained silent halfway through his speech.

Li Nanke stared at Old Jiang for a moment, then changed the subject of the question.

"If Ji Xiuwan wants to take revenge on Sister Leng, what method do you think she will take to get revenge?"

Lao Jiang thought for a while, and said softly: "According to normal thinking, there is an elder brother who is guarding there, and it is very unlikely that Ji Xiuwan would dare to take revenge on Nan Nan herself.

Not to mention a personal attack, she dared not even pour dirty water on it.

An official will always be an official, and a thief will always be a thief.

No matter how powerful Ji Xiuwan is, once Leng Siyuan's anger is provoked, the damage that woman will suffer is unbearable for that woman.

However, the woman couldn't use normal thinking to speculate.

She's a total lunatic.

You never know what crazy things she's going to do out of the blue. "

Li Nanke understood, "So, if this woman, Ji Xiuwan, is not out of her mind and chooses to take revenge in a normal way, there is a high probability that she will start with the people around Sister Leng.

Like a little rabbit, like you, like Guo Gang, like me? "

Old Jiang looked at him, and said calmly: "That day in the restaurant, if you choose not to make a sound in the end, then you will be safe. After all, no matter how powerful Ji Xiuwan is, she won't guess your relationship.

But now, you are the most dangerous.

That woman will definitely investigate your details.Once she retaliates in a conventional way, there is a high probability that she will target you first. "

Hearing Lao Jiang's analysis, Li Nanke's heart sank instead.

As long as the other party doesn't target Sister Leng herself, that's OK.

The premise is that the woman does not have convulsions.

But this is also the real purpose of Lao Jiang's setting up in the restaurant.

Because you can't guarantee that Ji Xiuwan's mind will be normal, so for the safety of her sister, Leng Siyuan must take the initiative.

The little rabbit at the side looked at Li Nanke full of worry when he heard Jiang's words.

"Okay, then I won't bother you."

Li Nanke knew that there were not many clues to be dug out from Lao Jiang, so he didn't waste any more time.

This guy's psychological quality is too strong to deal with.

"Goodbye, Old Ginger."

The little rabbit waved his hand.

Watching the two go away, Lao Jiang turned and entered the house until the figure completely disappeared from sight.

Close the door again.

The light in the room is dim, with a few gloom.

Old Jiang didn't light the lamp either, and sat silently on the wicker chair, staring at an old landscape painting on the wall.

"does it worth?"

The woman's voice was somewhat sad.

Old Jiang moved his eyes and looked at the woman standing alone at the door of the back room.

The other party caressed her protruding belly, the dim light hid her in the shadows, and the expression on her face could not be seen clearly.

Old 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.

Old Jiang's suspicion is the greatest because he has sufficient motivation and ability to commit crimes.

But think about it the other way around,

Lao Jiang's motive for committing the crime was - he wanted to revive his wife and children.

But the resurrection of grave people doesn't have to be pure red rain, it can also be done with some medicinal materials mixed with "red rain".

For example, in Dongqi County, Mei Xing'er revived He Qingyu.

It was because she took medicinal materials mixed with red rain.

Thinking about it this way, most of Jiang's suspicions have been eliminated.

After all, in his capacity, it is not difficult to get some Red Rain medicinal materials, and there is no need to take risks to steal the pure Red Rain from the secret vault.

Could the real stealers be the two brothers from the Xuanwu Department?

Looks like I'll have to have a good interrogation tomorrow morning.

"Huh? Why are you still following me? Didn't I just tell you to go home?" Looking at Meng Xiaotu who was following behind, Li Nanke asked in confusion.

The girl blushed slightly, pretending to be calm and said: "Just go along."

"Follow your hammer, don't you want me to treat you to a big meal?"

Li Nanke had an expression of disgust that I see through you.

Hearing this, the little rabbit's eyes lit up and said: "That's right, before you said that the eldest princess invited you to a seafood dinner, is it true or false? You must not be bragging."

"Hehe, forget it if you don't believe me, I've gone whoring for nothing."

Li Nanke couldn't explain the inside story, so he waved his hands 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 meal.

Could it be that he is handsome?

Looking at the man's overly handsome face, Meng Xiaotu felt that it was possible, and her doubts turned into envy.

"Well, can you call me next time?"

The little rabbit squeezed out a flattering smile.

Li Nanke grunted, and said seriously: "This is not suitable, besides, you don't have much experience, unless you are a gossip."

Meng Xiaotu was confused, and said angrily, "Eating a seafood feast requires experience? It's fine if you don't want to call me. You're a cheapskate in the first place, so don't ask me to do things for you in the future!"

"Okay, okay, I will call you when I have the chance."

Li Nanke was perfunctory. "Hurry up and go home, it's getting late."

Only then did the girl's complexion gradually soften, her apricot eyes curved like crescent moons, and she held her small white hand in her heart and began to look forward to it.

Finally, you can taste the royal meal.

It must be delicious.

After walking for a while, he found that the girl was still following him. Li Nanke was puzzled, "Go home, are you deaf?"

Meng Xiaotu faltered and said, "I... I'll go to the front to buy something."

Li Nanke frowned, staring at the girl.

Gradually, he seemed to understand something, and he said with a faint smile: "Did you hear Lao Jiang just said that Ji Xiuwan might take revenge on me, and that's why you want to protect me all the way?"

"No!"

The girl retorted immediately.

However, on Xuerun's pretty round face, the two spots of rosy blush 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."

"Pretend to be passionate! I'm not protecting you, I'm just... to buy something."

The girl's voice became smaller and smaller, and she lost her confidence.

Seeing the man's mocking eyes, the girl felt a burst of embarrassment, stomped on the little boots that covered her jade feet, and said angrily, "It's better to be caught by that bad woman! Hmph!"

With that said, the girl turned and left.

Li Nanke rubbed his nose and smiled, then sighed inexplicably, and murmured: "Sister Leng, who can bear this?"

The man laughed at himself.

About 10 minutes later, Li Nanke entered the gate of his courtyard.

At this time, the round-faced girl who had been following far away breathed a sigh of relief, humming a ditty and quietly left.
