Chapter 119 Shi Niang sank the treasure chest in anger!
During the conversation, Lao Jiang and Dazhuzi, who were in charge of guarding the secret library two days ago, came.
Lao Jiang is a man in his thirties.
He has a pale yellow face, thick eyebrows and big eyes, a square face, and a knife on his waist. He looks very decadent especially when he is unshaven.
After entering the room, I sat on the chair directly.
I don’t have much fear facing my boss, Leng Xinnan.
As the name suggests, the big pillar person looks like a tall pillar when standing in the room, which is quite oppressive. He is tall and tall, and he looks naive.
He also spoke in a muffled voice:
"Sister Leng, Tieniu said you called us."
"Yes." Leng Xinnan nodded lightly, casting her beautiful eyes towards Lao Jiang, "Tie Niu said you don't like staying at home, why don't you go out for a walk?"
"No."
Lao Jiang crossed his legs and picked up a document on the table and flipped through it. Leng Xinnan's behavior of not taking the leader seriously did not make Leng Xinnan angry. It seemed that the other party was like this on weekdays.
"I want to ask about the theft of the secret vault."
A hint of helplessness flashed in Leng Xinnan's eyes, and she asked Dazhu, "Tell me what happened at that time?"
Dazhu said in a muffled voice: "When I counted and checked, the number of Hongyu was correct, there were six lists in total. But later after the theft occurred, it was said to be seven. So someone from the Xuanwu Department must have missed one.
A list was not given to me."
Having said this, Dazhu clenched his fists, and the grievances and anger he was holding in his heart were revealed in his eyes.
"Old ginger."
Leng Xinnan looked at Jiang Motan who was fiddling with documents.
The man threw the document on the table and said calmly: "I was upset at the time. When I came back, Dazhu had already finished counting, so I didn't ask any more questions. Later when I was on duty, Dazhu and I stood guard outside the second door.
Didn't hear any movement.
When the new personnel were on duty the next day, they discovered that the quantity of Red Rain in the secret warehouse was inconsistent with the quantity reported on the list. One box was missing. The White Tiger Department had confiscated it three days ago, and there were five bottles of Red Rain in it."
Leng Xinnan asked: "What did the people from the Qinglong Department say?"
"They just asked us about our night."
Lao Jiang looked at Li Nanke who was admiring the scenery outside the window. His tired eyes now had a sharper luster as he looked at the newcomer.
Afterwards, Leng Xinnan asked Dazhu a few more questions and then let the two of them leave.
"Lao Jiang is the one with the longest experience in our Suzaku Department."
Leng Xinnan walked to Li Nanke and said softly, "Originally, the supervisory position of the Suzaku Department belonged to him."
"Aren't you convinced?" Li Nanke frowned.
Leng Xinnan shook his head as if he was self-deprecating, "I had the same idea as you at first, but as you get to know him more, you will find that he is not interested in officialdom. Moreover, the Director-General told me that he took the initiative to make the supervisor
The position was given to me."
"Oh, he is quite a weirdo." Li Nanke smiled slightly.
"Lao Jiang has a strong case-handling ability, although sometimes his methods are more radical." Leng Xinnan seemed to have remembered something and sighed slightly, "Anyway, you will know him better in the future."
"I just want to know Sister Leng better." Li Nanke joked casually.
But when I said it, I wanted to give myself a slap in the face.
It makes sense for my wife to sleep in a separate room.
Leng Xinnan's cheeks turned red, she bit her lip and glared at him fiercely, then said with a straight face: "You are not allowed to joke when discussing work."
"I understand, I understand." Li Nanke nodded like he was pecking rice.
"If you have anything you don't understand, go to Little Rabbit and ask me." Leng Xinnan said, "When there are no tasks assigned by the superiors, they are usually relatively free. You can..."
The woman paused and whispered: "You can take Sister Luo for a walk in the city. I think she seems to be in a bad mood. Please stay with her more."
The sun shines through the gaps between the leaves outside the window and shines on the woman's body. It more clearly outlines the woman's gloomy face and the heartfelt concern for the couple in her eyes.
"good."
Li Nanke nodded lightly.
…
Coming out of the room, Meng Xiaotu was chatting with a group of people in the courtyard, with excitement and pride on her delicate little face.
Seeing Li Nanke come out, Meng Xiaotu jumped over, her almond-shaped eyes smiling like a crescent moon, "Come here, you smart man, I'm really telling them about your glorious deeds, everyone almost thinks you are a god."
There were many people gathered in the hospital. After seeing Li Nanke, everyone had different eyes, mostly admiration and surprise.
Of course, there is also skepticism and indifference.
"What's there to say?"
Li Nanke modestly waved his hand and caught a glimpse of Dazhuzi and Lao Jiang also there.
But compared to the big pillar who was listening with interest, Lao Jiang was leaning against the pillar with a cold expression.
"I must say, my little rabbit also contributed."
Meng Xiaotu patted her chest and said with some pride, "Let them understand that my little rabbit is not a bastard who sleeps all day long."
But you are.
Li Nanke complained silently.
Tieniu didn't like the excitement but the big deal, so he waved his folding fan and said, "Let's go to the martial arts field outside. There is a teahouse there. Let's all listen to how Tieniu and Brother Li worked together to solve the case.
By the way, let the people from the Xuanwu and White Tiger tribes next door also listen to how big the gap is between people. Otherwise, they will always say that our Suzaku tribe relies on connections, and let them know that poor ability means poor ability, and they can't compare with us."
With Tieniu's encouragement, others naturally agreed.
The big pillar even waved his arms and shouted loudly, with a look of excitement on his face.
"Let's go, you're so smart."
Meng Xiaotu subconsciously took Li Nanke's arm and dragged him towards the tea shed of the martial arts arena.
Li Nanke had no choice but to let the other party pull him.
Seeing that Lao Jiang had been leaning against the pillar without moving, Tieniu shouted: "Old Jiang, what are you doing standing still? Let's go together."
"I'm not going." Lao Jiang shook his head.
Meng Xiaotu waved her hand and said in a crisp voice: "Old Jiang, it's fun when there are many people. By the way, you can also tell me about your experience in handling cases, so that the smart people can listen, otherwise you will think that except for him, our Suzaku Department has no smart people. For example, three
The Qiu Shiniang case two years ago was also very exciting."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You go ahead, I'm going home first."
Obviously Lao Jiang didn't like this lively atmosphere, but he still managed an apologetic smile when facing the cute Meng Xiaotu.
At least it doesn't leave a stereotyped image of a paralyzed face.
Seeing the other party leaving the small courtyard, Meng Xiaotu felt a little disappointed. She looked at each other with Guo Gang and the others, sending helpless signals to each other.
It can be seen that they really wanted Lao Jiang to participate, but unfortunately they could not succeed.
"What is the Qiu Shiniang case?"
Li Nanke, who is very interested in solving the case, asked.
"Let's go, talk as we go."
Meng Xiaotu's sweet and round face smiled again, and she took Li Nanke and walked towards the other side of the path.
On the way, Li Nanke roughly understood the facts of the case mentioned by the other party.
Three years ago, a young man from a wealthy family from out of town visited Yuncheng. When he went to a brothel with his friends, he accidentally met a quite famous oiran, Qiu Shiniang.
The two hit it off and soon fell in love.
This rich boy's name is He Jia. He has an elegant personality, a well-off family, and generous spending. The madam also allows the two to have a deep love for each other.
But after all, Qiu Shiniang is a famous courtesan. After lingering in Wenwen Village for a while, He Jia's money was also spent. He was coldly treated and ridiculed by the madam and alienated by other friends.
And when his family members heard that he lingered in a brothel for a prostitute, they were very angry.
After several calls were sent to no avail, the money was cut off.
He Jia couldn't let Qiu Shiniang go, so she drank all day long to drown her sorrows. Qiu Shiniang was extremely disgusted with the greed of the old madam, so she came up with the idea of leaving the brothel and spending her life with her lover He Jia.
With Qiu Shiniang's help, He Jia collected enough silver to redeem her.
Before leaving, some sisters who had been close friends with Shiniang in the past gave her a treasure box, not knowing what was inside.
The two crossed the river to go home, looking forward to the future.
But although He Jia embraced the beauty, he felt depressed because he was afraid that his family would not approve of him marrying a prostitute.
On the way, a rich boy named Sun accidentally saw Shiniang and became greedy. After some coaxing and persuasion from him, He Jia, who was already hesitant, gritted his teeth and sold Shiniang to him.
When she learned that she had been sold, Shi Niang was extremely sad and heartbroken.
So he opened the treasure box in front of the two of them.
Inside there are not only countless green feather pearls, Yao hairpins and earrings, jade flutes and gold tubes. There are also ancient jade and purple gold playthings, luminous pearls, emeralds, cat's eyes and other rare treasures that shine brightly.
I don't know how much it's worth.
It turns out that these are the wealth that Qiu Shiniang has accumulated in her daily life, and she gave them to herself through the hands of her sisters, in the hope that with these treasures, He Jia's parents can be persuaded to accept her.
Now that the person she loves is such a heartless person, Shiniang is heartbroken.
As He Jia cried out in regret, Qiu Shiniang, who had placed all the treasures in the river, jumped down and threw herself into the river.
It was the third watch of the moon at that time, and everything was miserable.
But the story doesn't end there.
The maid next to Shiniang was loyal to her. In order to take revenge on He Jia and others, she secretly took Hongyu and revived Shiniang.
Originally, he planned to let Qiu Shiniang, the grave man, kill the betrayer, but was discovered by Lao Jiang and his wife who were handling the case.
Finally rescued He Jia and others.
Although Lao Jiang protected some innocent people, after learning the inside story, he felt depressed for a long time and even went to He Jia's house to beat him up.
For this, I was punished by my superiors and almost kicked out of the Night Patrol Division.
In the end, Leng Siyuan interceded and saved her life.
But this incident eventually became a thorn in Lao Jiang's heart, causing him to become more and more aggressive in handling subsequent cases.
"Taking immeasurable treasure, he threw himself into the river."
After listening to Little Rabbit's story, Li Nanke's mind suddenly flashed into the world of Red Rain...the figure of the succubus in the lake.
Could it be that the banshee in the lake is Shi Niang who sank the treasure chest in anger?
——
Passing through the narrow alley, Lao Jiang came to a small courtyard with a bamboo fence and thatched house, which was his home.
There are weeds growing in the small yard and it looks like it hasn't been taken care of for a long time.
Green vines climb on the wooden windows.
Lao Jiang kicked a bone on the ground to the tied puppy, then opened the door, and a strong smell of alcohol hit his face.
"Madam, I'm back."
Lao Jiang waved the dust and looked at his wife sitting on the wooden chair. A gentle smile appeared on her stern face.
The woman looks to be in her thirties, and although she looks mediocre, she has an air of charm about her.
Under the sunshine through the window, it is quite moving.
The woman's belly is bulging, which means she is obviously pregnant.
Seeing her husband return, the woman showed a gentle smile and said softly: "Why are you back so early today?"
Lao Jiang smiled and said: "I don't have any mission, I just come back to accompany you."
"Nannan and the others are back?"
the woman asked.
Lao Jiang hummed, squatted next to his wife, carefully stroked the woman's bulging belly, and said with a smile: "I'm back. This girl also brought a new guy. He's very handsome and smart. He can help Little Rabbit."
They solved big cases."
"What? Nannan likes him?" The woman heard something else.
Lao Jiang gently pressed his face against the woman's belly, as if listening to the sound of the fetus inside, and said softly: "Although that girl tried her best to hide it, I can tell that she likes that boy very much."
"It's a good thing, this girl is finally attracted to her."
The woman stroked her husband's tired and decadent cheek with her beautiful hand, and said with a smile, "Now Lao Leng won't have to worry anymore."
Lao Jiang smiled and said nothing.
Looking at her husband's face, which seemed to be much older, the woman said quietly: "I hope Nan Nan can be happy forever and not become like us."
——
The tea stall was very lively.
Taking advantage of the gap, Li Nanke asked curiously: "I think Lao Jiang is in a low mood. Is this the same on weekdays?"
The smile on Meng Xiaotu's face slowly faded.
She lowered her eyes and said sadly: "Three months ago, Lao Jiang and his wife had an accident while investigating a Hongyu case. He was seriously injured, and his wife, who was four months pregnant... died."
