As soon as Li Nanke returned to the Night Patrol Division, he was called over by Leng Siyuan.
Last night, when he learned that his sister was in danger, Leng Siyuan rushed over immediately. When he saw the bruises on his sister's neck and the rope used to hang her, he broke into a cold sweat.
After understanding the cause and effect, Leng Siyuan immediately sent people to use magical weapons to conduct strict inspections in the Night Patrol Department and surrounding streets.
But after a whole night of investigation, nothing was found.
At the same time, he was also keenly aware of the unusual nature of Zong Yuyu's case.
"Did you know that Nan Nan would be in danger?"
Leng Siyuan asked straight to the point.
After his sister woke up, Leng Siyuan asked the other party and learned that it was Luo Qianqiu who showed up in time to save him last night.
But what he thought of was Li Nanke.
Luo Qianqiu was basically a housewife at home, so there was no reason why she suddenly came to save people. It must have been something Li Nanke discovered while investigating Zong Yuyu's case.
Upon hearing his uncle's inquiry, Li Nanke did not say that he had saved the woman through a cheat, but directly analyzed his own speculation.
"Sir Souji, the first thing I can confirm is that this is not an ordinary bewitchment technique, and it is most likely related to Hongyu.
Secondly, Zong Yuyu is definitely not the source, she is also a victim. Fortunately, we can follow her line of investigation and see who was the person who had contact with her before.
Also, I wonder if there is any news from Phoenix Mountain, if not, we should pay attention to it."
"Do you think this case is related to Phoenix Mountain?"
Leng Siyuan frowned.
Li Nanke said: "I can't say for sure yet."
"You can go ahead and investigate. You can mobilize any personnel from the Night Patrol Department to cooperate with you in the investigation."
Leng Siyuan threw a Commander-in-Chief card to Li Nanke and said calmly, "As for Phoenix Mountain, I will inquire about the situation and let you know if I find anything."
Li Nanke nodded to express his understanding.
Looking at the young man in front of him, who he had previously hated, Leng Siyuan had complicated eyes and said softly: "Nan Nan can be saved this time, thank you very much."
"This is what I should do." Li Nanke smiled.
"Be nice to my sister from now on."
There was a hint of compromise and relief in Leng Siyuan's tone.
A man who can protect his woman is already rare.
"Ah? Oh." Li Nanke was startled, then showed his neat white teeth, "Don't worry, Mr. Director, I will definitely protect Sister Leng."
When leaving the room, Li Nanke hesitated for a moment and asked: "Master General, who is the mysterious person from the underworld who met Ji Xiuwan before?"
"What do you think?" Leng Siyuan asked.
"Inspection of the White Tiger Department, Li Donghai?" Li Nanke gave his guess.
After all, he had stolen Hongyu from Li Donghai’s house before.
It's just that Li Nanke didn't understand why his uncle didn't tell Kyoto this clue, so that he could at least avoid being reprimanded by his superiors for destroying the Ji Mansion.
"This is Li Donghai."
Leng Siyuan leaned back in his chair tiredly and sighed. He was silent for a moment and said, "Go check it out."
…………
Li Nanke was the first to come to the Qinglong Department.
As Zong Yuyu's absolute boss and admirer, Shangguan Guan may know some inside information.
But it is a pity that Shangguan Pass is not in the Qinglong Department, and he took the mission early in the morning. But by asking other people, Li Nanke still got a useful clue.
That is, Zong Yuyu went to Xiaolei Village two days before committing suicide.
Because her aunt lives there.
Zong Yuyu's aunt was Guan Lijuan, who once served the eldest princess as a wet nurse in the palace.
The eldest princess at that time, Bai Ruyue, had been paralyzed since birth.
My mother died early again.
Guan Lijuan, on the other hand, stayed almost every step of the way and personally took care of Bai Ruyue when she grew up.
After the eldest princess was nine years old, she left the palace due to illness.
She could have enjoyed happiness in the capital city, but Guan Lijuan was nostalgic and liked to keep a low profile, so she returned to her hometown to live her life despite everyone's objections.
On the contrary, her relatives were blessed and were given good jobs as much as possible.
Zong Yuyu is one of them.
This time Zong Yuyu ran to find her. She knew from her bottom that she wanted to plead with the eldest princess through her aunt to let her stay in the Night Patrol Department.
However, the irony is that through understanding, Li Nanke learned that this was Zong Yuyu's second visit to his aunt.
The first time was when her family took her to meet relatives.
After I recognized my relatives, I got the position of deputy supervisor in the Qinglong Department of the Night Patrol Department, and I never talked to that aunt again.
Even though the journey was only half an hour, she was too lazy to go.
But when faced with a difficult situation, she will reveal her identity as an aunt.
"It fits that woman's personality very well. She had a cold temperament, was jealous and cold-blooded... Her death was a bit too cheap."
Li Nanke mocked in his heart.
When he walked out of the gate of the Night Patrol Department, the young prince Bai Buai jumped out of a carriage.
Seeing Li Nanke, Bai Buai's eyes lit up and he stepped forward to put his arm around her, but was avoided by Li Nanke.
"I've met the young prince."
The other party was not annoyed and said with a smile: "Detective Li, are you planning to investigate the case?"
"Um."
Li Nanke nodded slightly.
"That's good, let's go together."
"Together?" Li Nanke looked strange, thinking that there was something wrong with the young prince, as it seemed like the two of them were very familiar.
Before he could refuse, the other party forcefully pulled him towards the carriage, "You can take my car and use it wherever you want. Don't treat me like an outsider, we can be good partners."
Although I am not as smart as you, I am powerful and I can definitely help you."
Li Nanke was pulled into the carriage.
It's very warm inside the car, with a small heater on it.
There is also a pot of small wine next to the stove. The warm wine exudes a mellow smell, making the carriage feel drunk.
"Where to go?" Bai Buai asked.
Li Nanke had no choice but to tell the location of Xiaolei Village.
Bai Buai lifted the curtain and told the location of the carriage. He poured a glass of warm wine for Li Nanke himself and asked, "Detective Li, what case are you planning to investigate today? Zong Yuyu's suicide case?"
"Isn't this case closed?" Li Nanke deliberately teased.
Bai Bu'ai smiled and said, "I'm just talking casually. If the person who died was a common man, then my words would be useful. But unfortunately, he was the deputy inspector of the Qinglong Department, and there is no way the higher-ups can deal with it."
Li Nanke was thoughtful.
Although this young prince is dissolute, his mind is not stupid.
Thinking of Lin Jiaoyue in Dongqi County, he suddenly asked: "I wonder if the young prince still remembers Lin Jiaoyue?"
"who?"
"The daughter of Dongqi County Lin Yuanwai, Lin Jiaoyue."
"Oh, it's her."
Bai Buai suddenly realized, knocked his head and said, "Of course I remember, that girl is quite beautiful."
"Did the young prince really plan to marry her at that time?"
Li Nanke planned to test his voice.
If Lin Jiaoyue's death made the young prince care, then there would be a knife hidden in his smile.
Hearing Li Nanke's question, Bai Buai smiled and lowered his voice and said, "Do you think it's possible? Not to mention whether my father will agree. Even if he agrees, I don't dare to marry him."
"Why don't you dare to marry?" Li Nanke was curious.
"I can't hold it down."
Bai Buai lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Let me tell you, despite her young age, that kind of woman is actually very ambitious. Marrying her home will definitely be a disaster.
I was just joking at the time, thinking that if I could play, I would play, and if I couldn’t, forget it.”
Li Nanke stared into Bai Buai's eyes.
There was no pretense on the part of the other party, it was obvious that he was speaking from his heart.
Li Nanke looked out the window, feeling an unspeakable emotion in his heart.
The carriage jolted and he felt like vomiting.
"hehe……"
Li Nanke couldn't help laughing when he thought of Lin Jiaoyue trying so desperately to fly up the branch.
The smile is full of sarcasm and comedy.
"why are you laughing?"
Bai Buai looked at him strangely.
Li Nanke didn't say anything, but poured a glass of wine and drank it.
"This wine is not bad."
Bai Buai took out another plate of melon seeds and started cracking them. The skins of the melon seeds were thrown out of the car window, which was very unqualified.
Li Nanke remained silent for a while, then asked: "Do you like to tease women?"
"Hey, you really wronged me."
Bai Buai crossed his legs and said with a smile, "I like women, but I never take the initiative to flirt with women from good families. Occasionally, I won't refuse if someone offers you a hug.
I just like to have fun with the women in brothels, and I don’t have any scruples about it. I can play in any style, in any type, and there is no need to pay any emotion."
Bai Buai put his arm around Li Nanke's shoulders and asked with a smile: Do you know what my name means?
Bai don't love! It means... you get it but don't love it!
I named it for myself.
No woman in this world is worth investing her feelings in, just for fun. I heard that Detective Li you are already married, so I really feel for you.
Marriage is like a tomb. If you enter it, you will lose the freedom that a man should have."
Li Nanke said nothing more, leaning on the car and silently thinking about the case.
When we arrived at Xiaolei Village, the sky turned gloomy.
It seems like light rain is coming.
"Hey, we are so lucky that we caught up with the funeral." Bai Buai suddenly shouted.
Li Nanke turned around and looked.
But I saw a funeral procession slowly walking out towards the village entrance.
The mournful wails were loud and shrill.
Seven or eight strong men were walking carrying a coffin, and at the front was a young boy struggling to carry a "soul-inducing flag."
There were also two girls in mourning clothes scattering paper money.
"It's good luck."
Looking at this situation, Li Nanke had a bad feeling in his heart.
