Abyss of ignorance

Chapter 277 Dowry
"How long will it take for you to let her go?" Zheng Xiaoshu changed the topic and suddenly asked Lin Xiaodong eagerly.

"I don't know, the case hasn't been clarified yet. I think the most urgent thing is to confirm whether she is your sister." Lin Xiaodong said.

"Can we let her go for those two weeks?" Zheng Xiaoshu asked again.

Lin Xiaodong sized him up and asked, "Compared to whether she is your sister or not, you seem to be more concerned about when she will leave with you?"

Zheng Xiaoshu's eyes wandered, and there was a kind of vulgar cunning on his face.

"You know it's serious to lie to the police. You don't want to be detained here like your sister. You'd better tell the truth." Lin Xiaodong showed a threatening expression, knowing that Zheng Xiaoshu didn't tell all the truth.

"Ah, it's really nothing..." Zheng Xiaoshu lowered his head and whispered, "Xiaohua is an adult this year, and someone came to propose a marriage. After half a month of proposal, she has to go through the door, otherwise it won't count... They gave a dowry of 5 yuan. Well, if she doesn't go back, then..."

"No wonder I was so anxious to find her recently." Lin Xiaodong's tone was filled with contempt. In the eyes of this brother, this younger sister was nothing more than a 5 yuan item. Of course, Lin Xiaodong realized that there was something even more outrageous, " Did you plan just now, regardless of whether she is Zheng Xiaohua or not, just pull her back and force her to marry and get the dowry?"

Zheng Xiaoshu lowered his head and said: "My family is poor, I am waiting for this money to marry a wife..."

"Sell your sister to marry a wife?"

"How can we say it's for sale? We inquired about it. The house has three bungalows, and the conditions are pretty good. It's a blessing for her to be married." Zheng Xiaoshu said quite confidently.

Lin Xiaodong knew that they couldn't talk on the same channel, and there were more difficult things ahead of him: "I didn't scare you just now, you can't leave Linzhou for the time being, I want to do a DNA test for you."

"Well, speaking of this, let me tell you clearly, she is not Xiaohua..." Zheng Xiaoshu said suddenly, raised his head, looked at Lin Xiaodong, "Xiaohua hates me, she always calls me a fool, never calls me brother, Just now that woman called me brother, I knew she was a counterfeit..."

Lin Xiaodong didn't get angry when he heard this: "That's it, you still want to make mistakes? I really..." But when he said this, he changed his mind, this Zheng Xiaoshu hit the right way, which can make the other party think that his identity has not been exposed, and then he calmed down Come down, but still questioning, "This person pretends to be your sister, don't you worry about where your sister is?"

As if reminded by Lin Xiaodong, Zheng Xiaoshu realized the seriousness of the problem: "Ah, you are right, why does she have Xiaohua's ID card?"

Lin Xiaodong arranged for Zheng Xiaoshu to be taken away, but he did not leave the meeting room immediately.

He stood alone in front of the window of the conference room, looking at the dense magnolia trees outside the window, feeling an indescribable frustration.

What Ye Mimi said was right, he was too confident, and unconsciously made a prior judgment without knowing it - he was trying his best to prove that Zheng Xiaohua was framed.

He took a deep breath, closed his eyes and calmed down his mind, he had a lot of thoughts, if something was wrong, it would be very exhausting to go back to the previous pattern.

However, it remains to be verified whether there is an inevitable connection between the false identity and Ding Manguan's death-he cannot overcorrect and swing from one end of the arbitrary to the other.

"Send someone to watch Zheng Xiaohua 24 hours a day, she seems to be a master." Lin Xiaodong, who came out of the conference room, found Yue Jianfeng and said.

Yue Jianfeng just came back from the outside and didn't know what happened just now. He was surprised by Lin Xiaodong's sudden change of attitude: "Captain Lin, don't you always think she is a scapegoat?"

"I was careless." Lin Xiaodong sighed.

Yue Jianfeng didn't seem surprised when he heard it, he just smiled and said nothing.

"Why are you laughing?" Lin Xiaodong couldn't help but ask when he saw Yue Jianfeng like this.

"Because, Team Lin, every time you see such a weak woman, you will feel extra sympathetic. Are you being careless? It makes sense..." Yue Jianfeng said and patted Lin Xiaodong's arm.

Yue Jianfeng said these words casually, but Lin Xiaodong felt like being hit suddenly: "Hey, let me tell you, why do you feel like you see through me?"

"I've been a partner for many years, but this time, I didn't find anything wrong with Zheng Xiaohua's confession. I don't blame you, Team Lin. You are right. You seem to be a master, and you are only so young..." Yue Jianfeng put away his smile and said seriously.

"If the identity is fake, maybe the age is too..." Lin Xiaodong touched his chin and said.

"No wonder there are 28 at first glance. Juvenile behavior can be created through words and deeds." Yue Jianfeng nodded in agreement.

……

The handsome and elegant vice president of Shenlu Group still walks towards his office with smiles and greetings to every employee.

A girl who looked like an assistant walked up to Lu Yin, and handed him a beautifully bound envelope: "Mr. Lu, someone sent an invitation letter. They didn't leave any contact information, saying they were your friends."

Lu Yin looked at the envelope. It was sealed with fire paint. There was no writing on it, but there seemed to be some small object stuffed in the envelope, which was slightly bulging.

He didn't take it apart immediately, thanked his assistant, and took it into the office.

He hesitated for a moment, and finally opened the envelope carefully.

As the assistant said, it contained an invitation letter, but after opening it, there was a sentence, time and place written on the invitation letter.

And the small object that can be squeezed through the envelope is a copper arrowhead.

This arrow is enough to make him look at the invitation letter and envelope again.

The words on the invitation read: "Walk, don't tell Paula."

This so-called "old friend" did not leave any more information, but these contents have fully demonstrated his understanding of him.

Lu Yin put down the invitation letter and was looking at the copper arrow. After a while, he turned around and found that the original words on the invitation letter had disappeared.

It seems that the other party used special ink, which will fade when exposed to air.

The corners of his mouth were slightly raised—this cautious manner was dangerous and charming, which aroused his curiosity.

Even that line is endearing, don't tell Paula, it's something he's always wanted to do.

All in all, he decided to rush to this potentially dangerous invitation.

It is not difficult to remember the location on the invitation letter.

That is the hometown of clouds that he built himself.

It's just that the meeting place given by the other party is very strange, parking space 404 in Zone E on the fourth floor of the underground garage of Yunzhixiang.

Not long after the opening of Yunzhixiang, only the first and second floors of the underground garage are open to the public. To get to the fourth floor, you can only go down the ramp of the garage...
