After three rounds of drinking, everyone ate happily and had a great time.
Hong Qian pushed through the crowd and just gave Jiang Lian a look before he put down his cup.
"I'll go out for a while."
Qin Man nodded and watched him follow Hong Qian.
She had no appetite at all. Jiang Lian must be hiding something from her.
She decided to go out and have a look.
Hong Qian and Jiang Lian were on the middle platform of the stairs. Qin Man pretended to receive hot water through the screen and listened to their conversation with her ears raised.
However, the other people were playing and playing loudly, so she only heard a few words.
Hong Qian: "It's all arranged."
Jiang Lian's voice was too low and was drowned out by the noise, and Hong Qian asked a slightly worried question.
"Do you really want to go alone?"
Then there was no sound again. She looked up and saw that no one was there. Jiang Lian probably found her eavesdropping and ran downstairs.
Qin Man took a full glass of water and drank two sips, secretly competing in his heart.
Do you think that if you don’t let me listen, I won’t be able to inquire?
She went back to find Yang Yuhe who was concentrating on cooking. Everyone else was too noisy, but he was the most pragmatic.
Qin Man crossed her legs and sat next to him, and gave him a chopstick of oil-fried shrimp.
"Don't just do the cooking, eat the vegetables."
Yang Yuhe had a mouthful of rice that was stuck in his mouth, and he stared at her blankly.
Qin Man asked straight to the point.
"What is Captain Jiang investigating recently?"
Yang Yuhe chewed it twice and then swallowed it. He took a sip of water before he could speak properly.
"The case is closed, what else can be investigated."
Qin Man didn't get the answer he wanted and was so unhappy that he licked his back molars.
"However, Captain Jiang has been a little strange recently. He asked me to borrow a lot of files from Linghai County next door. I don't know why."
Linghai County, an important estuary to the sea and a center of commerce and trade, was once the entry point for transporting goods to the east.
Xingjin's network will gradually wither like losing its blood after Qiao Ying leaves, and the rest will be just small fights.
But Linghai's roots are still there.
This small county town is located near the sea, and its toxic roots extend all the way into the sea.
Just as he was talking, Jiang Lian came back. He called Qin Man the car keys and gave instructions.
"I'll drive home later and I'll be back later."
Qin Man's expression did not change and he happily accepted it.
"good."
She watched helplessly as Jiang Lian left the crowd of people playing.
It was rare to turn off the lights in the City Bureau office building. One of them was suddenly lit, and a figure kept rummaging around the table.
Qin Man didn't even let go of the trash can, turned over all Jiang Lian's draft papers and notes, and finally confirmed her guess.
It turned out that when Jiang Lian integrated the overlapping trajectories of Qian Yongbin, Hu Feng and others, he had already found two suspicious locations. In addition to Yujiuye in Xingjin, there was another place, Dieshuiqiao in Linghai County.
A name on the note was highlighted, Wei Kun.
There is also a row of notes at the bottom, private tavern.
If you scroll further, there will be a blank space. In other words, this is the answer Jiang Lian finally got. He found Wei Kun in a private tavern in Dieshuiqiao, Linghai County.
But why did he go there alone and quietly?
Qin Man grabbed the car keys and ran downstairs, and the vehicle drove east toward the highway intersection out of the city.
Two and a half hours later, it was already midnight, and the vehicle followed the navigation system to its destination and parked on the side of the road.
Dieshuiqiao is a small village. If you look around, the shops along the road are all small workshops. Now they are all closed. The densely packed houses are only two stories high. You can smell a slight fishy smell of running water nearby. There are strips inside.
The Luhe River crosses it, and it is so quiet that you can't even hear the noise.
She was in trouble, she couldn't even see a ghost, so where could she find this private tavern?
Under the streetlight not far away, she saw a car with a Xing V license plate, which meant that this car also drove from Xingjin.
She stepped forward to check. The illumination of the street lights ended here, and the sound of running water in front became clearer. It turned out that the end of the road was no longer accessible to cars. A narrow arched bridge connected to the dark area behind. There were occasional faint lights on the other side of the river.
Dog barking.
"dog?"
Judging from past experience, people will inevitably get sleepy, and many strongholds will keep one or two extremely alert hounds to serve as sentries.
Maybe you can find the private tavern by following the barking of the dog.
While searching for the sound, she groped in the dark and felt her way along the narrow path.
This is a densely populated self-built housing area. The two-story bungalows are almost all built side by side. They love to occupy the land, and the roads are crowded and winding. Frequent rerouting makes finding the road very difficult.
.
If people from outside the village come here for the first time, it will be difficult to find the right place.
After about a hundred meters, she felt that the barking dog was separated by a wall. She looked up and looked around. The wall was not too high. It would be difficult for ordinary people to climb over it, but it was not difficult for her.
There seemed to be lights flickering in the courtyard wall surrounding the parcel, and there was also the clear sound of glass bottles colliding occasionally. I followed the courtyard wall to find a location away from the barking dogs and conducive to climbing. I jumped hard and stepped on the edge of the wall to climb over.
Got in.
The light body landed like a black cat, not knowing whether it was in the right place.
There was a soft sound under her feet, and she stepped on some plastic garbage. She raised her feet to avoid it, and then she held her hand on the wall, but she felt a bit of cold metal.
She looked carefully and saw that there was actually a ladder hidden in the wall.
She immediately realized that the gap that was easier to climb turned out to be not an oversight, but a deliberate opening for the people inside to escape.
It seems she has found the right place.
This is the northeast corner of the entire courtyard. Looking from her current angle, she can only see a row of bungalows with four or five windows regularly opened on them, which should represent four or five rooms.
Just as she was about to choose a lucky room to go in and take a closer look, she heard footsteps. Qin Man immediately pressed her body against the wall. Then, the window closest to her made a "squeak" sound, and a warm yellow door opened.
The lights turned on, revealing a figure.
A belch stirred up a thousand waves, and the sound of unbuckling the waistband of pants was lazily followed by a burst of "water release".
That room is a toilet.
The man held a cigarette in his mouth and held his mobile phone to his side. He said greasyly, "Honey, what time is it, are you still not sleeping?"
The female voice on the phone was charming and pleasant, but Qin Man couldn't hear it clearly and it didn't matter.
"Oh, don't mention it. I'm telling you, don't go out and talk nonsense."
The man popped the cigarette butt directly out of the window and closed the window at the same time. The windows in the toilet were all frosted glass, so Qin Man took the opportunity to press closer to the wall.
"Didn't Brother Kun say that we won't be allowed to touch the 50 million reward before? Today, a talented person came to the door. I don't know where I heard the news, saying that he can do this job."
His voice was kept low, but Qin Man could still hear every word clearly.
"Let me tell you, I have some gossip. Now it is no longer 50 million. The price has been doubled. One woman, 100 million, including all the money my ancestors made for eighteen generations.
It’s not even 100 million. I think Brother Kun is really moved this time, and he has to do it no matter what. Brother Kun treats us well. If it really works out, the brothers will probably get a lot of money."
The man paused for a while, lit another cigarette, and continued.
"I don't know yet. Brother Kun was talking to that boy. I heard a few words. That boy seemed to be from Xingjin. The water in that place is not easy to get to. I heard that several people died some time ago. Let me tell you, he probably couldn't deal with it alone, so he came to us."
"Okay, okay, okay, when we get rich, we will stop working. We will buy a big house, marry my sweet baby, and live a happy life. Let's not talk about it for now. I haven't earned this money yet. I have to go to Brother Kun’s place and go to bed early, okay~”
Qin Man heard every word clearly, and 80% of the 50 million head bounty was about him.
I was followed frequently some time ago, probably all because of the 50 million.
But apart from almost falling into the trap of a wasp, she didn't encounter any big dangers. Xingjin didn't cause much trouble because of her. The reward order seemed to have been suppressed by force.
Could it be that Qiao Ying did not hesitate to expose herself just to suppress the reward order?
Could it be that Qiao Ying had recognized her a long time ago and she was doing all this to protect her?
Then why did you miss this part of Linghai?
In the darkness, a pair of eyes watched the man come out with his pants pulled up, he spat on the ground so rudely, and walked towards the east side hall.
Qin Man's pair of all-seeing cat eyes shrank back and dived into the darkness again. This chapter has been completed!
