The next day, before the sky was completely bright in the morning, Li Nanke got up, washed and ate, and then went out alone.
Before leaving, I took two bottles of Red Rain from the closet.
Since the last case in Ji Mansion, some red rain was stolen and used lavishly. At present, there are only about seven bottles left.
It seems that if you find an opportunity, you have to take advantage of it.
As for the three bottles of Red Rain that disappeared in his pocket yesterday, Li Nanke guessed that they might have been stolen by the mysterious nun.
There was a faint gray color in the unclear buildings and trees on the street, and the drizzle fell in succession, like embroidery needles on the sky, gently pricking Li Nanke's face.
Through the rain and fog, Li Nanke arrived at the back door of the magistrate's compound.
He first observed his surroundings, then took out the red rain, drank it, and put the invisibility cassock around him.
By using invisibility, Li Nanke climbed over the wall and entered.
Arriving at the room where Leng Xinnan worked, Li Nanke saw Yu Shengtian's wife, Wen Shi, who was not pretty, but had a virtuous and gentle temperament.
"The things have been given to Mr. Li, so it is inconvenient for me to keep them longer."
Of course, if Mr. Li feels that the money is unclean, you can take it back."
After that, the woman walked away.
Li Nanke remained silent.
Li Nanke drew a copy of the map manually and marked it according to memory.
Back at the Night Patrol Department, Li Nanke went straight to the case library.
The courtyard was quiet.
The woman bowed to Leng Xinnan and turned to leave.
Guessing that Chu Yunxin was coming back, he put the letter back in the secret compartment and left the room.
The woman seemed to know what the other party was going to say, so she interrupted Li Nanke's words directly and said behind her back, "I plan to take the child back to my parents' home. The money my husband left behind is enough for us two to live for the rest of our lives.
The energy of the red rain disappeared, and the invisibility cassock also lost its effect. During this period, only the maid brought tea into the house, and Chu Yunxin never left the house from beginning to end.
Yu Shengtian has been entangled with the underworld for so many years, so he must have been investigating secretly.
But there are no text landmarks on it.
Li Nanke stopped her, moved his lips and said, "What if-"
Li Nanke was inexplicably afraid to look into the other person's eyes.
Three "×" locations are marked on the map.
Some names on the list are circled with pens, indicating that Yu Shengtian has determined that this person has something to do with the underworld.
The waiting time is very long.
It was clear that Chu Yunxin read the content of the letter for a long time last night.
People have three urgent needs. After all, they cannot stay in the house all the time.
But today's weather is really not suitable for going out.
She paused and continued: "My husband left this box and said that if something happens to him one day, he would give this box to you."
Who are his protective umbrellas in the capital, whom the underworld allows him to contact, or the information he occasionally learns... these are all secretly written down by him.
You don't need to guess to know that the names in these lists are related to the underworld.
After all, he was the one who set up the scheme to capture Yu Shengtian.
From Mrs. Yu's last words, it was clear that she was resentful towards Li Nanke.
"Many of them are officials from the capital!"
"Mrs. Yu."
…………
Li Nanke was stunned and asked, "Where is she?"
He gently opened the wooden box in his hand.
Now that it is believed that Chu Yunxin is involved with people from the underworld, Li Nanke can't help but guess that the mysterious female underworld member he met last time may be Chu Yunxin.
According to the mapping information, the map on Chu Yunxin's letterhead is the landform of Qifeng Mountain, which is close to Xiaolei Village and adjacent to Fenghuang Mountain.
At this time, the woman's eyes were red and swollen, and her face was full of haggard.
Li Nanke made full use of his memory and kept the map and marked points firmly in his mind.
"Mrs. Yu!"
Li Nanke nodded, "I understand."
"You just did what you should do, don't worry about it."
"In the room where Sister Leng works." Meng Xiaotu said.
heat?
Li Donghai also gave a list before.
Sure enough, some strokes outlined with special paint gradually appeared on it. But they were not fonts, but a pattern, which looked like a map.
Maybe it's guilt, maybe it's regret.
Li Nanke took the small wooden box.
Looking at the list, Leng Xinnan's bright eyes widened.
After more than an hour, Li Nanke finally found the exact same map.
Obviously, the death of her husband has dealt a huge blow to the woman, as if it has taken away her soul, and her eyes look dim and empty.
An idea flashed in Li Nanke's mind, and he lowered his head to the paper and began to breathe.
"No need."
"This is……"
Leng Xinnan looked at the man with gentle eyes.
As soon as they returned to the Suzaku Department, Meng Xiaotu came to greet them.
The girl's pretty face looked a little serious, and she said to Li Nanke: "Master Yu's wife wants to see you."
Because I had come to see Chu Yunxin before to find out the situation, I found the small courtyard where Chu Yunxin lived.
Li Nanke forced out a smile and gave the woman a reassuring look.
Looking at the woman's retreating back, Li Nanke had a sad expression.
Li Nanke did not rush to investigate, but found a hidden place to hide.
If you approach him rashly, you will most likely be noticed by the opponent, so you can only wait for the opportunity.
But he quickly rejected this idea. After all, it was impossible for others to know about the plug-in he was monitoring remotely.
Mrs. Yu said sadly: "As early as two days ago, my husband may have realized..."
At around 2:00 p.m., Chu Yunxin left the house, heading toward the backyard hut.
Mrs. Yu didn't show much blame or resentment. When she saw Li Nanke, she stood up and took out a small wooden box and handed it over, "Master Li, my husband asked me to give this to you."
But why is the letterhead blank?
At this time, a delicate and warm hand gently held his palm, giving the man comfort.
Li Nanke looked confused.
be cheated!
Li Nanke's first reaction was that the opponent had set up a trap.
The wooden box is made of the finest rosewood, and the wood is smooth and moist. The box is surrounded by carvings, as delicate as silkworm cocoons that have been eaten by termites.
So this woman's cultivation level is not low.
Inside the wooden box is a piece of paper.
"Mrs. Yu?"
He took out all the maps of Yuncheng from the bookshelf and began to carefully compare them with the patterns in his memory.
"Great cleverness!"
After opening it, I found a long list of names written inside, with job titles after the names.
The drizzle like silk makes the place a bit peaceful.
According to the scene monitored yesterday, he found the secret compartment on the wall next to the door and took out the letter. But when he opened the letter, he found that it was blank.
Is there special paint used on this letter paper to hide the writing? But if so, how to make the writing appear?
Li Nanke tried hard to recall Chu Yunxin's movements in the scene last night.
But there are no big fish in his list, just some small fish, and their credibility is not high.
Taking advantage of this rare opportunity, Li Nanke once again used his invisibility cassock to quickly come to the door, pushed the door open and entered.
Only Yu Shengtian's list does not need to be questioned.
There are question marks after some names, indicating that Yu Shengtian is not sure whether this person is actually involved with the underworld and is in the stage of suspicion.
In short, once this list is handed in, it will definitely cause chaos in the court.
"Do you want to hand it over to the superior?" Leng Xinnan asked softly.
"Above?" Li Nanke carefully folded the list, put it into his inner pocket, and said calmly, "I'll pack them one by one."
