Chapter 99 Take evidence overnight, get the hard drive
The black Jeep car was speeding on the country road, the light of the car lights breaking through the darkness of the night and illuminating the asphalt road ahead.
"Turn right at the intersection ahead."
Mu Yang held the phone and stared at the navigation, giving Lin Che directions.
After receiving Wang Aiping's call, Mu Yang immediately called Lin Che. The two discussed it and unanimously decided to rush to Jin Kaihao's hometown overnight to find Wang Aiping to get the hard drive.
Wang Aiping had a special relationship with Jin Kaihao. Both Lin Che and Mu Yang were worried that she would suddenly change her mind and join forces with Jin Kaihao. If she destroyed the hard drive or hid it, the police would be too passive.
Turning right is a dirt road with twists and turns, but it also means we are closer to the village.
"It should be coming soon——"
Mu Yang pointed to the bright light not far away. There were only a few lights lit by stars, which looked a bit lonely in the night. I guess not many people stayed in the village to celebrate the New Year this year.
If Wang Aiping hadn't said in advance that she would wait at the entrance of the village, a figure suddenly illuminated by the car lights at night, the horror effect would definitely be full.
"You guys come with me!"
Wang Aiping waved and planned to lead the way, but Mu Yang saw that she was so cold that she stamped her feet and quickly asked her to get in the car.
Wang Aiping leaned forward, rubbed her hands, and her teeth chattered a little when she spoke, "Captain Lin, Xiao Mu, can I ask you something?"
Mu Yang had already guessed what Wang Aiping was going to say. He turned to smile at her and comforted her, "Sister Aiping, don't worry. We'll just say that we are colleagues of Jin Kaihao and are here to give New Year gifts."
"That's a good reason, that's a good reason."
Wang Aiping's nervous look relaxed a little, and she murmured, "In previous years, we took the old lady to Jiangzhou for the Chinese New Year. This year something like this happened, and I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hide it, so I took Sensen with me.
I came back to celebrate the New Year with her."
Wang Aiping sighed softly, "My mother-in-law has had a hard time these years, and her health is getting worse and worse. Her only thoughts are for her son. If she knows that Jin Kaihao has been arrested, I'm afraid that the old lady
I can't calm down all of a sudden, I'm so angry."
The car turned around and stopped in front of an old wooden house.
The car had just turned off, and the wooden door creaked open from the inside, and an old man with a stooped stature and white hair came out holding a branch two fingers thick.
"Is Wazai back?"
Wang Aiping immediately got out of the car, went up to support the old lady, and spoke loudly in her ear, "Mom, didn't I tell you that Lao Jin is busy with something and won't be back for the New Year this year! These two are his colleagues!"
The old lady's cloudy eyes stared at Lin Che and Mu Yang, and it was difficult to see their faces clearly.
The old lady looked a little disappointed, but she was still very enthusiastic, "You are my baby's colleague. Welcome, come and sit at home..."
Wang Aiping helped the old lady sit down in the main room, poured a glass of water for the two of them, "You guys sit down first, and I'll cook you a bowl of noodles."
Mu Yang smiled and said, "Sister Aiping, don't bother, we just came here after eating."
"No trouble, no trouble. I fried the meat sauce in the afternoon, and the noodles are ready. Just take it out and add a spoonful of meat sauce."
"Aiping, please remember to add more meat and fry a plate of the dried fish I dried. It will be delicious when mixed with noodles!" the old lady explained.
"People can't eat that fishy stuff, so don't worry, Mom."
Wang Aiping rolled her eyes habitually and went to the kitchen to cook noodles. Jin Sensen must have fallen asleep and saw no one.
"Happy New Year, mother-in-law, this is the gift we brought you."
The old lady was a little hard of hearing, and Mu Yang spoke a little louder. The gift box she handed over was taken from Professor He's house, and it was too late to buy it at the last minute.
"Thank you, thank you two leaders. You traveled all the way and spent so much money."
"Mother-in-law, don't be so polite. We are just ordinary colleagues of Professor Jin. Just call me Xiao Mu. This is Professor Lin."
"Oh - hello Professor Li."
The old lady was deaf and mistook Lin as Li.
Lin Che did not correct her, but just nodded to the old lady, trying not to look too serious.
Wang Aiping moved very quickly, and after saying a few words, the noodles were served.
The meat sauce is generously filled with an egg, and the green onions are green and fragrant, making you want to eat with your fingers.
Mu Yang took a sip, his bright eyes full of surprise, he held the chopsticks and gave a thumbs up——
"Sister Aiping, this meat sauce is so delicious, so fragrant!"
"Yes, yes, then you should eat more, there will be more if it is not enough!"
Facing Mu Yang's compliments, Wang Aiping stood there and pulled her clothes in embarrassment, feeling a little at a loss.
Such a shy reaction proves that Wang Aiping is rarely praised or praised by others, and may even be criticized often. A trace of sympathy flashed in Muyang's eyes, and he could probably guess the role Wang Aiping played in this marriage-a humble and transparent person.
.
The old lady pulled Lin Che and Mu Yang and kept asking about Jin Kaihao.
Lin Che sat eating noodles and rarely spoke. Mu Yang basically did all the talking.
Lin Che looked sideways at Mu Yang from time to time, feeling that the little girl's expression and tone were really vivid when she spoke.
The old lady listened very carefully. For an old man who missed her son, this was the only way for her to relieve her longing.
After finishing the noodles, it was almost ten o'clock. The old lady couldn't stand it anymore and went to bed.
As soon as the old lady left, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became serious.
Wang Aiping went upstairs and took out a small cloth bag, "I found this in the drawer of the three-drawer table upstairs. The drawer hasn't been opened for several years, so I don't know when Jin Kaihao put it there.
.I took a look, and it looked very similar to what Su Ting was holding, so I quickly called Xiao Mu."
Lin Che took the hard drive and took a closer look at it through the cloth. There were no signs of bumps. She hoped that the contents inside were not damaged.
"Sister Aiping, thank you very much for this."
Mu Yang solemnly expressed his gratitude, and Wang Aiping squeezed out a bitter smile, "There is nothing to thank me for. I have figured it out. Although I don't know what is in this black shell, I know that if Jin Kaihao did not do anything bad,
It doesn't matter if I hand over the things to you. If he did something bad, I can live up to my conscience by handing the things over to you."
Wang Aiping said as she took away the empty bowls, "You guys sit down for a while, and I'll clean up the house for you after the dishes are washed."
"Don't bother, we have to rush back."
Lin Che said, stood up, and put the stool aside together with Mu Yang.
"It's too dark to walk, so just stay one night. I just cleaned the house today. The bedding is clean and not dirty."
"Sister Aiping, I have to help my mother buy groceries for the New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow morning. I went late and the things I bought are not fresh."
Mu Yang smiled and spoke, his tone and expression were sincere and did not make anyone feel uncomfortable at all.
