136. Chapter 136 Enthusiasm belongs only to simple fools
At this moment, Minnie could only knock out her teeth and swallow it. Li Mengnan did not do any animal behavior from beginning to end. It turned out that she was just overthinking.
Of course, Li Mengnan's behavior and demeanor cannot escape the suspicion of misleading, but the problem is that this reason is simply untenable - is looking obscene also considered a crime?
Less than ten minutes after talking to Li Mengnan, Minnie felt even more tired than usual after half an hour of body shaping yoga. She didn’t want to stay with this bastard for another minute, so she opened her handbag and said, “How much do you want to borrow? Let me know!”
"Well... let's borrow a thousand." Li Mengnan thought for a while and said.
"What? Borrow a thousand dollars? What do you want to do?" Minnie exclaimed subconsciously. Although one thousand dollars may not seem like a big amount, the problem is that her monthly living expenses are only five hundred.
If she didn't live home every weekend, the money would not be enough to eat at school.
"My phone is broken."
Li Mengnan randomly found a reason. In fact, he didn't really want to borrow money, he just wanted to create an unavoidable relationship between the two by borrowing money.
You don’t admit to being brothers and sisters, you don’t admit to being boyfriend and girlfriend… Then you should admit to debtors and creditors, right?
This kind of method also needs to be divided into people. If it were the rich man Le Youyou who gave top-grade Yellow Crane Tower cigarettes as a favor at the beginning of school, she would never mention it in her life if you didn't even mention it; if it were Li Mengnan's other two cheap sisters Ding Xiang,
Wanwan and Dingxiang Nuannuan, they might give you money here and forget about it in the blink of an eye. For them, lending this small amount of money is about the same as ordinary people dropping a dime while walking. It’s hard to remember it in their minds.
A waste of brain cells.
But Minnie is different. Although Li Mengnan doesn't know how much living expenses her mother Xiao Hui gives her every month, just looking at Minnie's careful calculation on weekdays, she knows that her financial situation is not as glamorous as it seems on the outside. One thousand yuan is absolutely worth it to her.
It can be considered a quite painful expense.
"I...only have four hundred left."
Minnie's face felt slightly warm. She was most afraid of people knowing that she was actually living in poverty. Fortunately, Li Mengnan was not an outsider now, but the habits she had developed over the years still made her feel a little embarrassed.
"That's it?"
Li Mengnan was really surprised this time. Although he expected that Minnie wouldn't have much money, he didn't expect that it would be so little.
"Do you want love?" Minnie turned away angrily.
She didn't even think about what she would eat in the second half of the month after the money was loaned out. How dare this bastard think the money was too little?
"No," Li Mengnan hurriedly apologized, "It's not easy for me to express my gratitude to you. Then... I'll borrow two hundred, and I'll find a rich man to borrow the rest."
Seeing that Li Mengnan really only took two red notes from her wallet, Minnie finally breathed a sigh of relief. This bastard finally had some conscience and didn't give her anything. Although the living expenses were reduced by half out of thin air, but with a little savings,
Maybe it should be able to survive until the end of the month?
It is difficult for her mother to make money, and Bao'er has to pay a large amount of medical expenses every month. Minnie has always been reluctant to ask for money from her family unless necessary.
Li Mengnan folded the money in half and put it in his pocket, then asked Minnie: "Are you going home tonight?"
"What does it have to do with you whether I go home or not?" Minnie would not give him a good look.
Being unreasonable and having a bad temper is the prerogative of girls. As long as it does not interfere with his life, Li Mengnan has always been very tolerant of this.
Especially for pretty girls.
Li Mengnan smiled nonchalantly, touched his nose and said: "Oh, I just want to say that I have something to do tonight. If you are not in a hurry to go back, it is best to wait until daytime tomorrow before leaving. It is not suitable for a single girl to walk at night.
Safety."
Minnie was not only stunned, but this bastard actually cared about her?
Growing up, Minnie has always been surrounded by suitors. She also had the experience of going home late many times. However, the boys who pursued her only cared about when they would meet next time and where to play when they parted.
No one had ever warned her about her safety like this.
Minnie suddenly felt an indescribable complex feeling in her heart. She nodded numbly, then suddenly realized and said harshly: "I... you don't have to worry about my affairs!"
After turning around and taking two steps outside, Minnie suddenly stopped, turned slightly and said, "I signed up for the audition for the New Year's Party tonight." After that, she hurriedly left.
Li Mengnan opened his eyes unexpectedly. What did Minnie mean by her last words? Did she tell him that she wouldn't go home tonight, or did she hope that he would go and see her?
Li Mengnan didn't bother to guess Minnie's little thoughts. It wasn't like she was hinting at leaving the door open for him at night. Even if he guessed the correct answer, there wouldn't be any actual reward. Anyway, he had to accompany Zhao Yingjun and Liang Sanbo to the welcome party that night.
The audition for the show was just a matter of course.
Just after leaving the woods and walking onto the road, the familiar ringtone of the phone in Li Mengnan's trouser pocket suddenly rang.
It was Wu Ansu calling.
Li Mengnan wiped a cold sweat with guilt. If the call had come half a minute earlier, he really wouldn't be able to explain to Minnie why a broken phone would ring.
"Hey, Officer Wu, one day without seeing you is like three autumns..."
"Li Mengnan, can you be a little creative? Can you change the opening line next time? I'm tired of hearing what you said..."
The sound of a car engine could clearly be heard over the phone. Wu Ansu was probably driving home now.
"Officer Wu, I haven't contacted you for almost a week, why do you suddenly think of calling me? No one has an appointment on the weekend?" Anyway, the female tyrannosaurus is not around, so Li Mengnan doesn't mind a few words.
"Stop talking nonsense to me. I've been so busy these days that I can't even eat. There's a traffic jam on the road right now, so I'll give you a call..."
"Officer Wu, it turns out that I'm just someone you use to relieve your loneliness when you're stuck in traffic..." Li Mengnan pretended to sob twice to show that he was very sad.
"I'll die if you don't get angry for a day, right?" Wu Ansu sounded a little crazy on the other end of the phone, "Okay, let's be serious, I'm calling you this time just to talk to you about the case."
"Which case?" Li Mengnan was involved in many cases, and he couldn't figure out which case Wu Ansu was talking about.
"It's Ju Xiaoxing's case."
"Oh, that's the girl who committed suicide when she got pregnant out of wedlock and didn't know who the child's father was?"
Li Mengnan suddenly slapped his head. During this period of time, he was busy helping Zhao Yingjun prepare the program for the welcome party, and he almost forgot about this girl.
"Your mouth is still so bad. A suicidal girl is just a suicidal girl. Why do you add those extra adjectives in front of her? She is already pitiful enough..." Wu Ansu said angrily.
"Adding these adjectives can always remind me how pitiful this girl is!" Li Mengnan turned the phone to another ear and said plausibly, "I would have forgotten it if you didn't tell me. Has that case been solved?"
A few days ago, Li Mengnan heard that the department had organized a blood test for senior students. Although the official statement was that it was a routine physical examination, he roughly guessed that the police had identified the suspect and were conducting the final DNA comparison.
Calculating the time, if the police are efficient enough, the results should be out today.
However, Wu Ansu was silent for several seconds.
"Following the tips you gave us, we secretly investigated the identities of the girls in the video. By finding the intersections of their relationship circles, we identified some suspects and extracted their blood samples. However, through the DNA of the fetus in Ju Xiaoxing's belly, we
After comparison, no one among them was found to be consistent with it."
"Have you checked all the people who were present at classmate Ju Xiaoxing's birthday party on June 3rd?"
"How could such a key clue be missed? We already have the list of everyone who attended the birthday party that day. The blood samples of all the boys have been tested and compared, but we still found nothing."
Wu Ansu's tone was quite unwilling. Originally, all the clues had been connected together, and the scope of criminal suspects had been delineated. Seeing that the case was successfully solved, in the end, it was found that the efforts were in vain, and no one could laugh.
Of.
"You only surveyed boys?"
"Nonsense, if you don't investigate boys, how about investigating girls?"
"Anyway, you have lost all the clues now, so you might as well give it a try and use the dead horse as a living horse doctor."
Li Mengnan thought about it carefully and suggested seriously.
"Li Mengnan, I'm telling you something serious, please don't talk nonsense to me, okay?"
Wu Ansu wanted to say, "Girls don't have that function," but after thinking about it, she held back. Although she never wanted to pretend to be a lady, she also didn't want to make herself too vulgar.
After all, even if you are a tomboy, you are still essentially a woman.
Li Mengnan knew that Wu Ansu would have such a reaction, so he was not in a hurry to defend himself. He waited until Wu Ansu finished scolding and then patiently said: "I remember seeing a very strange case in the news half a year ago. It was said that it was a pregnant woman.
In order to help her husband relieve his anger, he seduced and stunned a sixteen-year-old girl who kindly helped her home..."
Wu Ansu was not stupid, and immediately understood what Li Mengnan meant, and said in surprise: "You mean, it is possible that a girl assisted in the crime in this case? Indeed, if this is the case, it makes sense that the DNA cannot detect the suspect...
…”
Having found a new direction to solve the case, Wu Ansu's tone became obviously excited again. Regardless of whether Li Mengnan wanted to listen or not, he continued reasoning about the case for more than ten minutes as if talking to himself on the phone. It felt as if the case was already certain.
Similar.
It's great to be young... I don't know why, when faced with Wu Ansu, who is full of passion and devotes himself to work, Li Mengnan always feels this old-fashioned emotion for no reason.
Enthusiasm is really only for simple fools.
"By the way, there's something I have to tell you." Just when Li Mengnan was feeling sleepy, Wu Ansu suddenly changed the topic and his tone became extremely serious, "A strange person came to our bureau today. Look,
He didn’t have the temperament to be someone from within our system, but he took away all the information on the hostage-taking case of Emperor Lingyun that day. Then Director An personally issued a hush order to everyone, prohibiting anyone from revealing everything about this case to the outside world. I
I think this matter may have something to do with you, so you'd better pay more attention."
