Judging from Lan Minsheng's reaction, he really didn't know what was going on.
It seems that the Supreme Emperor did a very good job in keeping the deaths of Mrs. Duan and Tian Shuangfeng secret this time, leaving no room for discussion.
But think about it, the family members of senior officials of the Night Patrol Department are actually from the underworld. If word spreads, the court will lose face, so it is best to keep it a secret.
Without revealing much to Lan Minsheng, Li Nanke returned to his study.
"How's it going? Have you gained anything?"
Leng Xinnan, who was helping to organize official documents on the table, saw the man coming back and asked curiously.
The woman was dressed in a lavender outfit and had her hair tied up in a high ponytail, making her look energetic.
This image fits very well with the "secretary" in Li Nanke's words.
"Of course."
Li Nanke walked up behind the woman, put his hands around her slender waist and pulled her into his arms. He smelled the faint fragrance and said, "And it's a big gain."
"Don't make trouble while working."
Leng Xinnan's cheeks were red and she wanted to break away, but the man didn't give her a chance.
Li Nanke kissed her earlobe and smiled: "Now that I am your boss, you have no right to criticize me. I can do whatever I want."
"Then you can't act recklessly."
Leng Xinnan instinctively rejects things like intimacy in the office.
Although she was a little obsessed with the indescribable excitement.
Li Nanke understood that the woman was thin-skinned and did not do anything radical. He just hugged the other person and sat on his lap and said: "Today Tieniu and I found the bald man in Yunchun Building, and we also met a young man. The other party claimed to meet me.
Meet me and get to know me.
Now that I think about it, I suspect that he lured me there on purpose. In short, this person is too mysterious and it’s very uncomfortable to chat with him.”
"Could he be a noble son from a certain prince's family?"
Leng Xinnan guessed.
Li Nanke shook his head, "I don't know, I feel like he is from the underworld, but he denies it, and it doesn't seem like he is lying. This makes people confused. I can't think of anyone in the capital-"
At this point, Li Nanke's voice suddenly stopped.
A bright light suddenly flashed in his mind, as if he had grasped a key point.
"It's from the underworld...not the underworld..."
Li Nanke kept mumbling.
Thinking of what Shangguan Guan had told him about the internal strife that had happened in the underworld, Li Nanke gradually widened his eyes, and a bold guess came to his mind.
High evil!
Once the second in command of the underworld!
Could it be him!?
Otherwise, how could he tell the quality of a bone whistle at a glance?
But is Gao Xie that young? Unless he is disguised. And it seems that he and Gao Xie have never met.
The more Li Nanke thought about it, the more frightened he became.
If the young master is really evil, things will be complicated.
Now the Supreme Emperor and the people from the underworld are looking for this person, intending to snatch the core secret of Hongyu from him, but they can never find a trace.
As a result, the other party took the initiative to see him today.
What is the purpose?
Li Nanke had a vague feeling that he might be stuck in a quagmire again.
He took out the exquisite bone whistle from his arms again, recalled the other party's instructions, and decided to go to Jing Benhai to ask where the bone whistle came from.
When Li Nanke came to the small courtyard of the Deputy Chief Secretary, Jing Benhai was frowning and reading a letter.
The sandalwood scent on the table lingered on the man's face, making his face appear and disappear.
Noticing Li Nanke's arrival, he put away the letter and asked, "Is something wrong?"
Li Nanke took out the bone whistle and said, "You said before that you got this bone whistle by accident while handling a Hongyu case. Can you tell me what case it was? Specifically where you got it."
Jing Benhai glanced at the bone whistle and motioned to Li Nanke to close the door.
"Has someone come to get this?"
Jing Benhai was worthy of being the deputy general manager, and he quickly guessed what was going on.
Seeing that Li Nanke chose to remain silent, Jing Benhai said: "It was a Red Rain case that happened in the palace. A palace maid secretly took Red Rain, which caused a nightmare. When I was dealing with it, I accidentally discovered this bone whistle."
A case in the palace?
Li Nanke's heart moved and he secretly guessed, "Could it be that the owner of this bone whistle is in the palace?"
That's a big problem
It means that the underworld has penetrated into the palace.
"You insisted on investigating the owner of this bone whistle before. Could it be that...you guessed something?"
Li Nanke stared straight at Jing Benhai. "And I think you have known this kind of bone whistle for a long time. Otherwise, you wouldn't know it so clearly."
Jing Benhai smiled and said: "The Deputy Chief of Staff in Beijing is not a decoration. I have come into contact with and understand much more than you think.
I have indeed seen the bone whistle a long time ago and asked someone to learn about it. Finding this thing in the palace is enough to show the seriousness of the matter."
"But, instead of reporting this matter, you secretly hid the bone whistle."
Li Nanke said.
Before Jing Benhai could explain, Li Nanke said:
"You didn't tell the truth that day. Your purpose of bringing the bone whistle home was actually to help your wife conceive a child.
But you regret it again. After all, you really hate Hong Yu, and you don’t want to have any entanglement with your family and Hong Yu, so you plan to use the bone whistle to find out the person behind the scenes..."
Listening to Li Nanke's statement, Jing Benhai clenched his fists but did not refute.
After a long while, he said softly: "If you want to enter the palace to investigate, now is the best time."
The palace...
Li Nanke looked a little dazed.
He didn't want to enter that place in his heart. Apart from Bai Ruyue, there was no one else worthy of his care.
But judging from the current situation, he seems to have to move in.
…
In the afternoon, after finishing his work, Li Nanke returned home with Leng Xinnan and Meng Xiaotu, full of thoughts.
As soon as I entered the hospital, I saw two familiar figures.
A big goose all white.
And a rather large turtle.
"Sister Goose, I miss you so much." Li Nanke's eyes lit up, he rushed forward and grabbed Sister Goose's slender neck, and held her in his arms forcefully.
As for Mr. Turtle, he was trampled under his feet.
The big white goose flapped its wings vigorously and tried to escape, but could not escape the man's claws. A few pieces of white feathers fell down, telling the story of grievances.
"Who brought them here?"
Li Nanke asked Luo Qianqiu in the kitchen.
"Of course it's me, little sister."
A sweet and melodious voice came from one side.
Li Nanke turned around and looked around, and saw a stunning beauty standing at the door of the living room, with a small nose and a small mouth, delicate eyebrows, and a pair of bright eyes that seemed to be able to speak, filling people's hearts.
"He Xinyue...ah, no, He Panjun?"
Li Nanke looked at the woman he had not seen for a long time, his face full of surprise.
He Panjun came to the man's side like a wronged little wild cat, with tears streaming down his face, "Brother Nanke almost admitted the mistake to the little sister, which hurt the little sister too much. Thanks to me, I have been like this for so many days.
