Siheyuan: Don't mess with me, I just want to be a free fish

"Mei Chuqing?"

After hearing this name, Father Philip's expression looked a little strange.

He is not a fool, he had a good impression of this former student, and the other party helped him bring in a big businessman, and built a bell tower in the church.

However, he never expected that the other party would hide something under the bell tower and hide it for many years. This meant that he, the priest of the east church, had been guarding the other party's things.

Although more than half of the East Hall is now divided, he agreed to it himself. Because of his status, the people here still treat him quite well, especially in terms of food. There has never been a shortage, otherwise He also doesn’t have that much food to donate to nearby orphanages.

From the bottom of his heart, Father Philip does have that kind of compassion, but no matter what, he is still a person of flesh and blood and emotions.

Especially after living in this land for many years, my thoughts will be changed to some extent.

But that doesn't mean he likes to be deceived.

So after Li Weidong found the things from the bell tower, although he did not inquire about what was hidden there, he even restrained his curiosity and never went to the basement under the bell tower.

But he still had complaints about Mei Chuqing.

It wasn't until not long ago that the other party came to visit him while the little old lady was out shopping for groceries. At that time, he didn't know that the other party was back.

Father Philip told the other party directly that the things hidden under the bell tower had been taken away. He still remembered that Mei Chuqing had a strange expression at that time.

Later, Mei Chuqing apologized to him and said that she had no choice but to do so.

As for whether he believes it or not, I am afraid only Father Philip himself knows.

Originally, Father Philip thought that the matter was over. After all, he did not take the things away, but no one expected that not long after this, someone came to the door. It was the person who had taken the things away, and It was still for Mei Chuqing.

Obviously, the other party also knew that Mei Chuqing was back, and followed the clues to find him.

"Yes, according to the news we got, Mei Chuqing has returned. I think she should have come to see you, right?"

Li Weidong looked at Father Philip's reaction and understood clearly, confirming his previous guesses.

In this way, everything can be connected.

"She did come to visit me, but I don't know where she is right now."

Father Philip was silent for a few seconds before answering.

Having followed the locals for so many years, he is also fully aware of the wars taking place on this land.

So we can also guess what Mei Chuqing represents.

It was precisely because of this that he didn't want to get involved.

Unfortunately, it backfired.

"What time?"

"It must have been about ten days, right? Everything I said is true."

Father Philip made a final emphasis.

"I believe what you said, Father Philip, and it's enough that you can tell me that Mei Chuqing is back. In addition, I would like to ask you to identify whether the woman in this photo is Mei Chuqing?"

At this time, Li Weidong took out the black-and-white photo he had found in Gui Shaoning's first secret room.

Li Weidong has always kept this photo and has never taken the initiative to show it.

But right now, in order to catch Mei Chuqing as soon as possible, there is no need to worry about that much.

As for how to explain the origin of this photo afterwards, that is also a matter for later.

"It's what she looked like when she was young."

Father Philip recognized the woman wearing a cheongsam above at a glance.

After all, when Mei Chuqing was a student with him, she was still young, so she was very impressive.

"Then how has she changed?"

Li Weidong continued to ask.

In fact, judging from the time, Mei Chuqing in the photo is about 30 years old. Now, more than ten years later, the other party is in her 40s. As a woman, she has also entered middle age.

"She's more mature, has short hair, and is dressed similar to the women on the street."

Father Philip concluded.

Faced with Li Weidong's inquiry, he still chose to explain and did not play any tricks like "I don't know, I don't want to tell".

Actually, this is normal.

Even though Mei Chuqing was his former student, from the fact that he sold the paintings given to him when he had no money, we knew what his so-called "deep feelings" were like.

Moreover, Father Philip also knew that since the things under the bell tower were taken away, the elementary school next door had a new teacher. He occasionally came to the church to sketch and seemed to like the architectural style of the church.

Father Philip pretended not to see this.

This is another reason why he confessed honestly.

It even seemed to him that the reason Li Weidong came so quickly was because the new teacher next door was tipping off the news.

However, Li Weidong didn't know this.

At first, he didn't want to get involved in the things under the bell tower, so he avoided it. After leaving all the matters to Zhen Jingting, he stopped paying attention to it. It also showed that Godfather Philip didn't know anything.

Then, it can only be someone else who does this.

Maybe it was Zhen Jingting, or maybe it was another department. The other party did not act rashly. Instead, they regarded Father Philip as a surveillance target and waited here, paying attention to the other party's every move.

But since Zhen Jingting didn't take the initiative to talk about this matter, it can only mean that he was not the one who arranged it.

"Okay, sorry to trouble you, a portrait artist will come over later, and I hope Father Philip can cooperate."

Li Weidong nodded and handed the photo to Zhen Jingting.

Looking for a portrait artist to draw the current appearance of Mei Chuqing, naturally Zhen Jingting had to find someone.

Zhen Jingting carefully looked at the black and white photo in his hand, it showed a man and a woman.

Naturally, he recognized the man at a glance, it was Gui Shaoning.

When he was tracing this batch of mysterious materials, he took a look at Gui Shaoning's information, which also had Gui Shaoning's photo.

As for the woman next to Gui Shaoning, although this was the first time he saw her, Li Weidong had just confirmed with Father Philip that the one above was Mei Chuqing.

Although this woman is not very beautiful, she has a sense of intelligence and the grace of a Jiangnan woman.

"it is good."

Father Phil nodded.

Li Weidong did not continue to pester, and turned around and left after speaking.

"Just leave like this?"

After getting in the car, Zhen Jingting couldn't help but ask.

"What else? The main purpose of our trip here is to cast stones and ask for directions. It is impossible to have enemies. Even if the enemies are hiding in the dark, the fear is that we can't even figure out who the enemies are. But now that we know that this woman is back, it will be easier to deal with it. ”

Li Weidong said.He had made some guesses, but he never expected that Mei Chuqing would come to see Father Philip openly.

Did she think she couldn't find Father Philip's head, couldn't think of her?

Or have you been away for too long, so you want to go back to this familiar place to see things and miss people?

In response, Li Weidong could only shake his head, not sure what this woman was thinking.

"That's right, I'm afraid there are no clues. As for this woman, don't worry, as long as she shows up, I don't believe she can escape."

Zhen Jingting's face showed a hint of coldness.

This time, the other party slapped their faces so hard that even the boss got angry and openly silenced the shadow in custody. This meant that they didn't take them seriously. How could they be so arrogant?
"By the way, someone was quietly observing us in the school next door just now. It seems that he is a teacher, male, about 30 years old. Although there is no hostility, please go back and let someone check."

Li Weidong seemed to remember something and said again.

"The teacher at the school?"

Zhen Jingting was stunned for a moment, "Is this the person Mei Chuqing left behind?"

"Probably not."

Li Weidong shook his head.

Since Mei Chuqing had someone outside to observe, there was no need to place anyone else in the school. More importantly, he did not feel any hostility from the other party.

If it was Mei Chuqing's people, how could they not feel any hostility when they saw them?
Unless, it is one of our own.

In comparison, Li Weidong is more inclined to the latter.

So I just asked Zhen Jingting to check, so as not to be plucked halfway.

This possibility is not impossible, but rather many.

If the other party also knew about Mei Chuqing, they would definitely not miss this opportunity to make a contribution.

"That should be those guys. When I took away the batch of mysterious materials, they came to the door and wanted to take over the case, but I didn't agree. It seems that they didn't give up and sent people to guard here. Yes, it's smart."

Zhen Jingting understood instantly.

Li Weidong didn't ask. When gods fight, little devils suffer.

Although there is occasional cooperation between these departments, there is often a lot of dirty work hidden inside. This is something that can never be avoided, especially nowadays, when the responsibilities of many departments are not clear and the boundaries are blurred.

Even the security department of state-owned factories has the power to handle cases and can directly arrest people in prisons. However, the real responsibility of Zhen Jingting's department is not to handle cases and arrest enemies.

But because Zhen Jingting intervened earlier, he took the case on himself and there was nothing anyone could do.

However, these problems are not under Li Weidong's control. Facts have also proved that with continuous development, these problems have been gradually solved. Just like crossing the river by feeling for stones, you have to accumulate experience before you can make corrections and get on the right track.

"Tell me, are they already eyeing this woman named Mei Chuqing? Also, isn't it a bit..."

Zhen Jingting thought for a while and asked.

In short, he couldn't understand why Mei Chuqing took the initiative to expose her.

"A little silly? It should be because of the poor information. This Mei Chuqing is very cunning and has never appeared in front of her. Moreover, her relationship with Gui Shaoning has not been exposed. It is even difficult to find her photos. I asked Father Philip the first time. Although there were many original photos left in the church, there was no one named Mei Chuqing. This shows that she has always been very cautious.

The reason why she stayed with Gui Shaoning in the first place was not clear. Even if she left here early, no one would think of her.

But she was also very careful. Before she came to look for Father Philip, she probably didn't know that the mysterious material had been taken away. By the time she realized something was wrong, it was already too late.

That's why she found your place, and then discovered that Shadow was being imprisoned by you.

Then she tried to find a way to check the files of the mysterious materials and the interrogation records about Shadow. The other party should have wanted to rescue Shadow, but unfortunately, Shadow revealed something that she shouldn't have disclosed, leaving her with some clues.

That's why I thought about killing people and eradicating the traces I left behind.

After all, it is much easier to kill someone and silence them than to save them.

But the other party is not stupid, and he also knows to send people outside to monitor this place, probably just to confirm whether he has been exposed. "

Li Weidong slowly analyzed Mei Chuqing's psychology.

Although I can't be 100% sure, it should be mostly correct.

As Li Weidong made several moves, the other party suffered heavy losses here. In terms of intelligence, it was inevitable that there were some deficiencies and shortages.

In addition, Mei Chuqing had just arrived and there weren't many available people around her. She didn't want anyone to discover the secret hidden under the bell tower, so she had no choice but to confirm it herself.

By doing this, he obviously wanted to keep a hand, and he probably didn't trust the people around him.

Otherwise, she clearly knew where the mysterious materials were hidden, but she didn't say it out, either because she wanted to protect Gui Shaoning or for other reasons.

Therefore, she could only confirm the mysterious materials by herself.

As a result, Father Philip told her about the matter, and only then did he realize that something was wrong.

Although Li Weidong's speculation cannot be guaranteed to be 100%, the probability is very high. This can also explain why the other party attacked Zhen Jingting's unit as soon as he arrived.

And from the point of time, it’s completely appropriate.

"Well, your people have followed the person who was watching outside just now?"

Zhen Jingting nodded, and also approved Li Weidong's words.

To blame, I can only blame the other party's bad luck for running into Li Weidong.

"Yes, so let's go back and wait for the news."

Li Weidong smiled slightly.

The effect of asking for directions this time was obviously much better than initially imagined.

It will undoubtedly be easier to go back and wait for Zhen Jingting to find a portrait artist to draw Mei Chuqing's current appearance, and then conduct a targeted search.

And what Li Weidong wants is to catch them all in one fell swoop.

Otherwise, keeping such a woman would make him restless.

Mei Chuqing is Gui Shaoning's best friend.

From Gui Shaoning's refusal to expose Mei Chuqing until his death, and in order to protect Gui Shaoning, Mei Chuqing never revealed the whereabouts of the mysterious material, so we can know the depth of their relationship.

A capable woman who has lost her beloved one will undoubtedly be terrible if she takes revenge.

This is why Li Weidong was eager to find the other party and sent people to protect his family and Zhou Xiaobai in advance.

"Okay, I'll listen to you this time anyway."

Zhen Jingting did not refute.

So far, he is very satisfied. It has been less than half a day since he went to find Li Weidong and locked the target.

This efficiency is really staggering.

Before that, most people within them had locked their eyes on Shadow, thinking that the other party came just for Shadow and wanted to silence him.

Without Li Weidong, if they followed this clue to investigate, they would probably only go further and further.

Li Weidong and Zhen Jingting hurried back, and as soon as they arrived at the door, they saw Chen Xia waiting there.
