Chapter 21 The boss turned into a little fan girl?
It's early morning again.
Li Nanke got up much later than usual after thinking about the case for too long last night.
The sky turned from fish-white to bright and transparent. The morning sun slanted from the treetops and fell warmly on the body, making it particularly comfortable.
Breakfast is ready.
It is still a kidney-nourishing meal.
In the courtyard, Luo Qianqiu, dressed in a simple snow-white dress, was squatting by the pond washing her husband's clothes.
Perhaps because he was afraid of getting his shoes and socks wet, Luo Qianqiu had her bare feet and her skirt was slightly tucked up. From Li Nanke's perspective, she could see the soft and slender half of her legs and her small, round jade toes.
, looking at it makes people daydream.
"It's so early to do the laundry."
Li Nanke stretched himself against the warm sun and yawned.
Women use a special soap to wash clothes.
Different from modern laundry detergent, it is made from washed pig pancreas, ground into powder, and then added with soy flour and spices.
Also known as bath beans.
Luo Qianqiu turned her head and smiled: "Master, why don't you sleep a little longer? It's not good for your health to rest so late yesterday."
"Don't you go to bed late and get up early?" Li Nanke retorted.
"It's different." Luo Qianqiu pushed a few strands of softly hanging hair on her temples behind her ears and said softly, "I have been used to this since I was a child."
"Let me help you."
Li Nanke knelt down and wanted to help him wash clothes, but the woman quickly refused.
"My husband." Luo Qianqiu looked at her husband helplessly and amusedly, with an angry tone: "Men in other families rarely do these housework. It's better for you, you have to go into the kitchen and do the laundry.
, and I’m not afraid that others will read the joke.”
Li Nanke was unhappy: "What's so funny about this? Husbands and wives should help each other. As the saying goes, men and women are not tired when they work together. It's like this in the hall, and it's also... in bed..."
Li Nanke's voice gradually weakened when he saw the woman's autumn-like eyes narrowed slightly, appearing to be smiling but not smiling.
You Qi saw the other party pick up the laundry stick.
"What?"
The girl smiled and asked,
"Well... Oh, by the way, I suddenly remembered that I have to assist Mr. Leng in handling the case today, so let me first--"
"Let's go eat first."
"Okay ma'am."
Li Nanke Ma slipped into the house.
Looking at her husband's fleeing back, Luo Qianqiu couldn't help but laugh. She bit her lower lip with her teeth as thin as braided shells, and murmured: "My husband is quite cute."
…
The official residence of the Night Patrol Division is heavily guarded.
As soon as Li Nanke arrived at the outer gate, he was stopped by the guard. Although he mentioned Leng Xinnan, the other party insisted on reporting it first before letting him go.
Li Nanke understood, so he waited quietly outside the door.
It happened that Tieniu came out of the nearby Yamen, swearing, which was completely inconsistent with his usual elegant image, and he didn't know why he was angry.
"Old Li?"
Seeing Li Nanke, Tieniu's eyes lit up.
After seeing how much his boss valued Li Nanke, Tieniu didn't dare to show off his face anymore, and stepped forward to chat in a friendly manner.
"Master Tie is too polite, please call me 'Xiao Li'."
Li Nanke handed over.
Tie Niu flicked the folding fan open and said without hesitation: "What are you talking about? Sister Leng treats you as one of her own, how can I, Mr. Tie, treat you as an outsider? From now on, we will be a family. If you have any difficulties, just ask me directly
Find me."
"real?"
Li Nanke was a little moved.
Tie Niu patted his chest: "It's truer than gold. If nothing else, I, Mr. Tie Niu, am very loyal!"
"Then can you lend me some money?" Li Nanke rubbed his hands, feeling embarrassed.
"..."
Tieniu sighed and patted the other party on the shoulder. "It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. The main thing is that talking about money in this world hurts the most feelings. You don't want to lose a good brother who helps you at every expense."
"But just because we are brothers, I--"
"By the way, Sister Leng has been waiting for you for a long time. Let's go quickly. If it's too late, you'll get angry. Our boss always has a bad temper." Tieniu grabbed Li Nanke's arm and entered the door.
This time the guards didn't stop him.
Tieniu was right, Leng Xinnan was indeed angry.
But he was not angry at Li Nanke, but at Guo Gang and others.
"How many times have I told her, don't let her act alone! Don't let her act alone! Why don't you listen!"
Leng Xinnan's pretty face was stern, and she held the back of the chair with her fair hands, so tight that her knuckles turned blue. She felt like she would throw the chair over in the next second. "Is there a hammer on your head? Do you want to go to the pawn shop for an exhibition?"
, by the way, how much is the price?”
Guo Gang felt aggrieved: "When I went to look for her, Little Rabbit was no longer there. What can I do?"
A subordinate next to him explained bravely: "Miss Meng said she was going there for convenience, but she didn't expect that she disappeared. I also guessed that she wanted to act alone, so I kept looking..."
"Okay, okay, let's send someone to look for it again!"
Leng Xinnan waved her hands and said impatiently.
The woman is very helpless. This girl has always liked to show off her abilities. She must be ruthless and take good care of her next time.
I really couldn't do it, so I took off my pants and slapped him.
"What's going on over there, Mr. Shen?" Leng Xinnan asked Tieniu.
Tieniu said angrily: "It's not the people from the Wan family who are urging him to find the murderer of Wan Yingying as soon as possible. Mr. Shen has been driven to anger in the past two days. He almost knelt down just now and begged us as soon as possible."
Solve the case.
The Wan family, relying on the fact that they have relatives who are officials, clamored to ask you for an explanation, and even said they were going to complain to the higher authorities, but I scolded them and they became more honest."
"It's understandable to be anxious. After all, the eldest lady is dead."
Leng Xinnan rubbed the center of his eyebrows and sighed, his eyes looking at Li Nanke softened again.
"The drugstore that sells 'Red Rain' has been found. It is Zhangji Drugstore. A lot of medicinal materials containing 'Red Rain' have been confiscated. This matter has been reported to Yuncheng, and we will dig deeper. In addition..."
Leng Xinnan picked up a volume on the table and handed it over. "I interrogated the shop owner, and he admitted that he had sold the 'Red Snail' medicinal material to Old Man Qin.
And I specifically asked if Wen Xiucai had bought it, and he truthfully confessed, saying that on the fifth night of August, Wen Xiucai had indeed bought it from him in private."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Li Nanke took the volume and read it carefully.
Although the interrogation methods of the Night Watch Division are not as cruel and terrifying as those of the Shadow Guards, it is still difficult for someone to deliberately fabricate lies to fool them.
The confession of the medicine shop owner is worthy of belief.
But when he saw one of the confessions, Li Nanke raised his head and asked, "He only sold one pack to Lao Qintou?"
Tieniu sneered and said: "This group of businessmen have always been tough-talking. In the past, all the people we caught used to argue that they only sold one pack. In fact, I know how much they sold."
Li Nanke pondered for a while and handed the volume back without asking any more questions.
"Let's go to Wen's house."
…
This time it was Leng Xinnan and Li Nanke who went there again.
On the way, Leng Xinnan described in detail the investigation of Wen Xiucai last night.
"Wen Xiucai's name is Wen Xiaofan. He is the second son of the family. He is now twenty-four years old. He was a famous scholar in the year before last.
Moreover, this person once practiced in Liuhumen, so he is not considered an incompetent scholar. Although his cultivation level is average, it is still easy to steal the 'Red Rain'..."
Hearing the words "average cultivation", Li Nanke felt relieved.
Otherwise, we need to bring more experts.
After about half a stick of incense, the two stood in front of Wen's house.
Looking at the ancient vermilion-lacquered door in front of him and the majestic stone lions on both sides, Li Nanke's expression was extremely solemn: "This literary scholar will be the most difficult link in this case. We have to be very alert."
Come."
"With you here, he can't escape."
Leng Xinnan blinked, her long and curved eyelashes making her skin exceptionally white and moist, and she maintained absolute confidence in the man.
At this moment, she seemed to have transformed into a little fan girl.
Li Nanke shook his head: "Based on my rich experience and my precise intuition, this literary scholar is definitely very powerful and will be a strong opponent. If his link cannot be broken, it will be difficult to continue the investigation of this case.
In short, what follows will be an extremely difficult interrogation. Even if there is evidence in hand, it will be difficult. I trust my intuition."
"so smart?"
Infected by the seriousness in the man's tone, Leng Xinnan also restrained his contempt and became worried.
It seems that this literary scholar is indeed not simple.
The real challenge begins.
Li Nanke closed his eyes, took a deep breath, straightened his chest slightly, and stepped forward.
"Let's go, let you see what a duel between masters is!"
The man was madly powerful and indescribably heroic.
Looking at the tall and majestic figure of the other party, Leng Xinnan's beautiful eyes lit up: "I believe you."
Dangdang!
Li Nanke knocked on the door.
The door has been around for some time, and the skin that has peeled off due to age has a slightly prickly texture to the touch.
After a while, the door slowly opened.
The person who opened the door was a young man wearing a moon-white gown, with handsome appearance and outstanding temperament.
"We are from the Night Patrol Division, here to see Wen Xiaofan."
Leng Xinnan showed off his identity badge.
The young man looked at them for a while and then said slowly: "I am Wen Xiaofan. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Wait for us for a long time?
Is this an active provocation?
After experiencing being "brainwashed" by Li Nanke just now, Leng Xinnan immediately realized that the man in front of her was not simple.
"Yes, I killed Wan Yingying."
The young man, who looked exhausted all over his body, said solemnly, "The 'red rain' caused by Wan Yingying and Lin Jiaoyue was caused by me, so please take me away."
"..."
The place was very quiet.
There was a hint of embarrassment in the silence.
Leng Xinnan opened her red lips slightly and slowly turned her head to look at the man beside her. "It seems, it's not very difficult?"
Li Nanke didn't seem to hear, touching the door and saying to himself: "This door is good, um, this door is good, I will install one in my house someday."
