Chapter 381 [brewery] (1)
Cheng Yufei said: "Forget it, please send me back to the detective agency. You should go back early too. It's too late. Are you afraid that Ye Qinghong will be jealous?"
Luo Lie laughed, but his eyes and Cheng Yufei immediately met, and the two of them said at the same time: "Jealous!"
The lees that produce rice wine are usually used as vinegar. This vinegar is called lees vinegar, which uses the residual sugar in the lees to ferment acetic acid bacteria to produce acetic acid. Because Cheng Yufei found lees in the gaps in Lu Rulan's nails, he believed that when Lu Rulan was tortured, he should first lock the doubts in the winery along the river. So she and Luo Lie investigated this focus all afternoon.
Cheng Yufei's unintentional words just now made the two of them have an idea at the same time, thinking that this kind of wine lees not only exist in wineries, but also in places like breweries. The largest brewery in the entire French Concession is Pujiang Brewing Factory, and the backend owner of this factory is Bai Yunfei.
Luo Lie and Cheng Yufei came outside the courtyard wall of the Pujiang Brewing Factory, and Cheng Yufei was about to sneak into it to investigate while the night was dark.
Luo Lie said: "Have you considered it?"
Cheng Yufei nodded and said, "This kind of thing is not suitable for Zhang Yang. If Zhang Lingfeng is not dead, he will probably be in the same place as Lu Rulan Pass. If we alert the snake, the kidnappers will immediately transfer Zhang Lingfeng. It will be difficult to find him when the time comes."
Luo Lie saw Cheng Yufei holding an umbrella in his hand and couldn't help but smile and said, "What's this for? Please rain?"
Cheng Yufei said: "My weapon."
It was already dark, and the two of them chose a secluded place. Cheng Yufei patted Luo Lie and signaled him to squat down. Luo Lie had to squat down. Cheng Yufei stepped on his shoulder. Luo Lie slowly stood up. Cheng Yufei grabbed the wall and climbed up with both arms. Then he turned around on the wall and reached down to pull Luo Lie up.
Luo Lie took a few steps back, after running, he jumped into the air, his hands had already climbed up to the wall, and a volley fell directly into the courtyard wall.
Cheng Yufei was stunned, not expecting Luo Lie to be so flexible.
Cheng Yufei slipped down from the wall. The two hid behind the bushes and saw two workers in charge of patrol walking past the front. After they passed, the two quickly passed through the path. Luo Lie said: "This factory is not small, where can we find it?"
Cheng Yufei said: "Let's talk about it after finding the warehouse."
The two of them groped around and searched in the factory for more than twenty minutes before finding the warehouse. Cheng Yufei saw that there was no one everywhere and walked quickly towards the warehouse. Suddenly, a black shadow pounced out from the side, but a wolf dog had been lurking in the dark for a long time.
Cheng Yufei was startled and raised her umbrella to fight. But before her umbrella hit the wolf dog, a brick flew out and hit the wolf dog's nose. The wolf dog was smashed so hard that it rolled on the ground with a whisper. However, Luo Lie took action to relieve her at the critical moment, and smashed the wolf dog unconscious with just one brick.
Cheng Yufei nodded to Luo Lie and expressed her gratitude. She was already in a cold sweat.
The two of them came to the front of the warehouse and saw that the door was closed. Cheng Yufei took out the lock-opening tool from her handbag and opened the door lock in a while. A crack was opened and the two entered it. This was the warehouse used to store wine lees. The air inside was filled with a pungent smell of wine lees.
Cheng Yufei was sure that no one was on duty inside, so she turned on the flashlight. She was searching around. Cheng Yufei had not found anything yet. Luo Lie picked up an earring from the ground. The earrings were exquisitely crafted and valuable. He handed the earrings to Cheng Yufei. Cheng Yufei looked at them with the light of the flashlight. Although it was impossible to be sure that the earring belonged to Lu Rulan, in her impression, Lu Rulan's right ear did have an earring missing.
Cheng Yufei carefully packed the things, and she found some blood on the ground. She carefully collected samples using the tools at hand, stood up and said to Luo Lie: "This is probably the place where Lu Rulan is detained."
Luo Lie's consciousness had spread around him. He did not sense the existence of other lives in this warehouse. He whispered: "There should be no one here, Zhang Lingfeng is not here."
Cheng Yufei nodded. Although Zhang Lingfeng was not detained here, at least he found a clue.
Luo Lie said: "Someone is here!"
Cheng Yufei only heard the complicated footsteps outside. She handed Luo Lie a mask. As soon as the two of them put on masks, the door was kicked open, and several bright flashlight beams shining in from outside.
"Catch them and don't let them run away!"
Cheng Yufei rushed up first. She jumped into the air, kicked the worker in the chest that was the first to be hit, kicking the worker backwards, then danced the umbrella in her hand, and opened her bows left and right to block the two wooden sticks attacking her.
Luo Lie followed Cheng Yufei's steps and rushed forward. Luo Lie's movements were straightforward and neat. Every time he punched and kicked, he would definitely knock down one person. He and Cheng Yufei cooperated with each other and soon broke out from the group of workers.
The two ran out along the same path and came to the courtyard wall. Luo Lie jumped up first, then reached out to grab the umbrella handed over by Cheng Yufei, pulled it hard, and pulled Cheng Yufei and the umbrella up.
After they climbed over the wall, they ran along the alley. They finally got rid of the group of chasing workers and were convinced that they had returned to a safe place. They pulled off their masks, looked at each other, and laughed at the same time.
It was already eleven o'clock in the evening when Luo Lie returned home. Ye Qinghong was waiting for him. He was relieved when he saw Luo Lie Ping'an coming back and said softly: "Why is it so late? Is it a very troublesome thing at Yupu Wharf?"
Luo Lie said: "The police station didn't cause trouble for you, right?"
Ye Qinghong shook her head and said, "Inspector Liu called me and I replied with a word. I said I had never asked about the dock before, and I didn't ask about any of the business outside. Anyway, I just pushed everything all over, and I guess they would cause trouble for you."
Luo Lie smiled and said, "It's right to push it to me. The male protagonist is the outside and the female protagonist is the inside. Of course, I should handle the outside affairs. But you don't have to worry. This matter has nothing to do with us, and it won't be dependent on us." He told the matter of investigating the case with Cheng Yufei just now. After hearing this, Ye Qinghong said, "This Cheng Yufei is really capable. She can track down such clues from the lees in the gap between the nails of the body... Hey! Why did you think of going to the brewery?"
Luo Lie smiled and said, "I was originally a wine-checking workshop, but I was worried that I would be late to come back. If you know that Cheng Yufei and I would be jealous, I would be so inspired."
Ye Qinghong spat and said, "You are the jealous jar." But it is impossible to say that there is no idea at all. She grabbed Luo Lie's ear and said, "Listen to me, you are a person who is always flirting with the grass. If I know that you dare to bring me back and get along with other women, I..."
"How are you?"
Ye Qinghong said: "I will castrate you!"
Luo Lie was startled: "It's cruel enough!"
Ye Qinghong smiled and said, "Anyway, I can't let Xiao Caihong have no father, and I can't live without you. But if you really want you to be sorry for me, I can't swallow this."
Luo Lie said: "Have you ever thought that you would be the one who suffers in the end?"
"What's so bad..." Ye Qinghong's face turned red before she finished speaking, and she punched Luo Lie on the shoulder and said, "You bad guy!"
Luo Lie lifted her jaw and was about to kiss her, but he heard the voice of Xiao Caihong coming from upstairs: "Dad is back?"
The two were so scared that they quickly separated. It would be bad if the child saw it. Luo Lie stood up and smiled and said, "Why is Xiao Caihong not sleeping yet? Come! Let your father hug you."
Little Caihong, wearing pajamas, rushed down from the upstairs happily, but was stopped by Ye Qinghong. She picked up Little Caihong and said, "Mom hugged her and asked her father to take a shower. He was tired for a day and his body was so smelly."
Little Rainbow quickly covered her nose.
Luo Lie then remembered that he had been traveling outside for a day and had not taken a shower. He had experienced so many bad things today, so he should take a shower before hugging his daughter.
After taking a shower, Luo Lie changed into his pajamas and came to his daughter's room. However, he saw that Xiao Caihong was asleep again. Ye Qinghong made a gesture to him to silence, fearing that he would wake up his daughter.
Luo Lie came to the bed and saw that although Xiao Caihong was asleep, her little hand still grabbed Ye Qinghong's hand. Her attachment to Ye Qinghong's stepmother even surpassed that of Luo Lie, the father. Of course, this is also related to the fact that they and their mother and daughter are together all day long.
Ye Qinghong waited for her to fall asleep before she carefully opened her hand and quietly retreated with Luo Lie. Ye Qinghong lived in the suite next to Xiao Caihong, and Luo Lie lived in another room. Although they were already engaged, they were not as a husband and wife.
Ye Qinghong stood on tiptoe and kissed Luo Lie on his lips and said, "Good night, go to bed early."
Luo Lie said: "You don't plan to be together?"
Ye Qinghong's pretty face turned red: "Don't forget to believe." She believed in Christ, obeyed the doctrine, and needed to abstinence before marriage. Moreover, Luo Lie was once a pastor. Regardless of whether it is true or false, they should abide by the doctrine and not do anything too outrageous.
Luo Lie nodded. There were less than two months left before their wedding date, and he should respect Ye Qinghong's beliefs.
Luo Lie was about to leave, but Ye Qinghong reached out and held him and said, "But as long as you are good, I can accompany you tonight."
The moonlight shone on the bed through the window screen, Luo Lie was lying on the bed, and Ye Qinghong snuggled in his arms. Luo Lie found that this was even more tormented. He hugged Ye Qinghong's soft and fragrant body, but had to control the bottom line, which was definitely a harsh test for his will.
Ye Qinghong said: "What are you thinking?"
Luo Lie said: "I am thinking about the experience of falling into an ice cave in winter."
Ye Qinghong immediately understood what he meant, buried her head in his arms and started to laugh.
Luo Lie said: "I want to go back."
Ye Qinghong grabbed him and said, "Don't leave, I'll want you to accompany me tonight."
