197. Chapter 197 There is a crime called you know too much
Aina did not suspect that Li Mengnan was deliberately hiding it from her.
After all, she is a student counselor. She has read the files of all the students in the department and knows that Li Mengnan is not a local. She is lucky to meet a low-level policeman like Wu Ansu when she first arrived. The inside story of the case has a certain level of confidentiality.
The information is not that easy to find out.
She only asked Li Mengnan with the idea of giving it a try.
Aina accompanied Li Mengnan to the stairs of the floor where the department conference room was located before stopping. She held her hands in front of her chest, gently brushed her long hair beside her ears, stared into Li Mengnan's eyes and smiled: "Then this matter is
Excuse me, no matter whether I can get any news or not, I will treat you to dinner another day..."
"Teacher Ai, you are not sincere in what you say. At the very least, you have to set the standard of the hotel. Otherwise, after I finish the work for you, you will send me away with a bowl of spicy soup. Who should I ask to reason with you?" Li Mengnan said shamelessly.
He said with a smile.
Aina was also amused. She rolled her eyes at him charmingly and said coquettishly: "You little guy is really difficult to deal with. Do you know how many people in the school want to eat this bowl of spicy hotpot but can't...
…”
"That's different. What they care about is you, Teacher Ai. You won't mind even if you give them food. My purpose is to eat, so of course I have to be more demanding..."
Li Mengnan had no special thoughts about this beautiful department counselor, so he naturally spoke without any inhibitions.
"Okay, don't be poor and hurry in, otherwise the department director will rush me again."
Aina nudged Li Mengnan's back very affectionately, turned around and twisted her slender waist like a water snake and gradually moved away.
The department conference room is the easternmost room on the third floor of the teaching building of the School of Education. It is basically not open to students on weekdays and is mainly used for meetings specifically for teachers.
But after all, they are all in the same building. Li Mengnan has passed by it accidentally several times and seen what it looks like.
It was just a small room of less than 30 square meters. There was only one window on the north wall. Even during the day, it was difficult to get enough light. It was more like a warehouse for storing sundries than a conference room.
.
The brown security door was ajar at the moment. Through the crack in the door, you could clearly see the fluorescent lights on inside, and you could faintly hear the voices of a man and a woman talking.
Due to the barriers of walls and doors, and the fact that the two people in the room deliberately controlled the volume, Li Mengnan did not hear what they were saying specifically, but it was confirmed from the other party's tone that the female voice inside came from Wu Ansu.
Li Mengnan stood at the door and knocked on the door. After hearing the "please come in" permission, he opened the door and walked straight in.
Apart from him, there were only two people in the room at the moment.
Naturally, Wu Ansu had nothing to say. Li Mengnan's eyes only stayed on her for a moment, and all his attention was focused on the middle-aged man not far from her.
Aina's previous evaluation was indeed no exaggeration. The middle-aged man who came with Wu Ansu did give people a very different feeling.
He is supposed to be a middle-aged man with a masculine temperament, but he is dressed like an otaku who has just returned from the island country of Akihabara. He is wearing a colorful cartoon girl pattern. I guess the bright red and green yangko dancing men and women on the street have added to it.
None of them look coquettish alone.
What's even more inconsistent is that all the cartoon beautiful girl patterns are pure flat lolita, with various absolute fields, and some killings are interspersed from time to time, unscrupulously exposing colorful panties, even though they look very ugly.
It's cute and eye-catching, but when it's worn on such an uncle-level figure who is estimated to be in his mid-thirties, it feels very perverted.
No, it should be said that it is quite abnormal.
"Li Mengnan, you're here." Seeing Li Mengnan enter the room, Wu Ansu immediately stood up and said.
Li Mengnan waved his hand, indicating that Wu Ansu didn't need to be so formal. Then he sat down on the chair opposite the two of them quite consciously, raised his eyebrows, and said leisurely: "Officer Wu, why are you so free to see me today? This uncle is you
Did you catch a bus idiot on the way here?"
Poof~!
Wu Ansu, who was still a little annoyed by the escort task forced by the bureau, was immediately amused when he heard Li Mengnan's words.
Not to mention, this weird man named Euonymus is dressed like one of those idiots who crowd in the crowd and molest young girls!
Li Mengnan was insulted as soon as they met. The strange middle-aged man was not angry at all. He took out a cigarette from the cigarette case on the table, put it in his mouth, and lit it with a ZIPPO lighter with the same cartoon girl pattern printed on it. It was very strange.
He smiled indifferently: "Infatuation is love in itself, but this kind of love is so deep that it is difficult for the world to understand, isn't it?"
After saying that, the strange middle-aged man turned the cigarette case over to Li Mengnan and said politely: "Would you like one?"
Li Mengnan didn't see anyone outside. He took one out and put it under his nose, smelled it, and then held it in his mouth. The middle-aged man once again handed him a lighter to help him light the cigarette.
People with the same hobby can easily create a sense of psychological closeness, and the strange middle-aged man's behavior of smoking immediately made Li Mengnan feel more favorable to him.
"The so-called philosophy has always been about the butt deciding the head. Any discussion will only be a waste of life. But uncle, you are right. Everyone has their own way of living. As long as it does not harm society, you don't have to care about what others think.
…”
Li Mengnan reached out and pulled the ashtray on the table, flicking the crumbling cigarette ashes away. The gray-white powder was scattered like light snow in early winter.
Wu Ansu on the side was completely dumbfounded - what on earth were these two people talking about, why couldn't he understand a word?
Looking at Wu Ansu's dull expression, Li Mengnan knew that she had been pulled into a misunderstanding by the conversation between the two. He waved his hand to her in amusement and said: "Officer Wu, don't guess... Some people are like this, like
Start by saying something that seems very profound and philosophical. Once you start to doubt your own IQ, they can smoothly take over the entire conversation."
In fact, Li Mengnan usually does this, and is of course very familiar with the same method.
"Haha, awesome!" The middle-aged strange man suddenly clapped his hands. Li Mengnan's performance obviously far exceeded his expectations, "It seems that this little trick of mine is out of control in front of you... But I still have to explain.
One thing, I'm not targeting you specifically, or trying out a boring test, it's just a small personal habit of mine."
Wu Ansu almost spit out a mouthful of blood.
Could this be the legendary high-IQ conversation mode? Nothing happened yet. Just listening to the conversation between the two almost drove her crazy. It seemed that the only people who could compete with the weird ones were the same weird ones.
After applauding and admiring, the strange middle-aged man took out a slightly curled business card from his pocket, but Li Mengnan did not reach out to take it, but turned to Wu Ansu and asked: "Officer Wu, what is going on today?
"
Wu Ansu looked quite helpless, shook his head and apologized to Li Mengnan: "This is a task assigned to me by the bureau, and I am required to fully cooperate with his work... and the only thing he asked me to do was to bring him to see you.
"
Li Mengnan could tell that Wu Ansu seemed to have something unspeakable, and regardless of whether the strange middle-aged man minded or not, he directly glanced at Wu Ansu and motioned for her to go out and talk.
The middle-aged strange man also saw the little actions between Li Mengnan and Wu Ansu, but he did not interfere. He just took out a PSP handheld game console from his bag and played it as if nothing had happened. He was obviously telling the two of them with this obvious move -
—You two can talk, I don’t mind.
"Officer Wu, what's the background of this guy? He looks like he's a pretty big man. Do you still have such a godly man in your police station?"
As soon as Li Mengnan walked out of the conference room door, he couldn't wait to ask Wu Ansu beside him.
"I don't know where this guy came from. He seems to be a researcher from some research institute, but he seems to have a bigger background than the security director of our city bureau." At this moment, Wu Ansu couldn't help but swear, obviously he was not satisfied with this.
The strange man has deep resentment.
"Scientific researcher? Is he from the Chinese Academy of Sciences?" Li Mengnan's guess was almost exactly the same as Wu Ansu's original guess.
"No, it's not. According to him, it seems to be some kind of private scientific research institution... By the way, he even gave me a business card."
While talking, Wu Ansu took out the business card he had received before from his pocket and handed it to Li Mengnan.
"I'm so kidding! Can this also be called a business card? Not to mention the appearance, it doesn't even have a phone number and just an email address. How can it cause such trouble? Isn't he afraid that some people will think that he is a handbag company?
"
People are weird, and their business cards are even weirder.
"If the director of the city bureau can personally call him to verify his identity, even if he just writes a white note, who would dare to think that he is a handbag company?" Wu Ansu's words hit the nail on the head.
"Why did he come to me?"
The only information Li Mengnan got so far was this meaningless business card, so he could only ask Wu Ansu directly.
"Remember what I said before, someone above sealed the file on the underground supermarket hostage-taking case... Now this file is in the hands of this person."
Wu Ansu answered truthfully, his concern for Li Mengnan clearly visible in his eyes.
"So, this man is from...that place?" Li Mengnan understood the whole story almost instantly, and pointed upward with a solemn expression.
In China, some things cannot be said carelessly, because there is a mysterious crime called - you know too much.
Wu Ansu shook his head and said: "My guess was the same as yours, but this guy named Euonymus denied it flatly. He only said that he was from a private scientific research institution, and he also said a lot of high-end scientific research terms...
It doesn’t feel like I’m lying.”
Li Mengnan nodded, this time Wu Ansu's judgment was correct.
Being able to have the director of the city bureau personally call him to confirm his identity means that this Wei Mao has a lot of background. Such a person has a certain degree of credibility no matter what background he says he has. Covering up his identity will make people look bad.
It feels like he is trying to deceive others, and since he insists that he has no official background, it is very possible that he is indeed telling the truth.
Although this conclusion may sound a bit unbelievable, Li Mengnan has seen many incredible but real things, and there is no shortage of one more.
"Is it because of my illusions?" This is the only reason Li Mengnan can think of at present for this Euonymus to find him.
"No, it seems not... According to him, their research institute has mastered technology that is more practical than your illusion. Although he was surprised that you knew the illusion recorded in ancient books, he was not very interested. He was just
I want to find you."
If this were not the case, Wu Ansu would not have been able to bring this Euonymus to see Li Mengnan.
"Oh? So has China's technology developed to this level? Why does it feel like black technology has been developed..."
Li Mengnan couldn't help but feel a little sad. Although he knew that with the current speed of human technological development, sooner or later, technological means might be used to completely eliminate illusions and turn their line of magicians into a real historical term, but he did not expect that it would happen.
Signs appeared so quickly.
"Are you still in the mood to feel sorry for this? What are you going to do now?" Wu Ansu was furious when she saw Li Mengnan's heartless look. She had been worrying about it for a long time.
Li Mengnan waved his hands indifferently, with an extremely calm expression, and said: "It's too early to say this now. At least I have to know what this guy is coming to see me for before I can make a decision."
Wu Ansu thought about this, and no matter how anxious he was now, he could only worry in vain, so he nodded slightly to Li Mengnan, put his arm on his shoulder and said: "Then you have to be careful, I always think this person is a bit weird.
If you have any trouble, be sure to contact me as soon as possible and I will try my best to help you find a solution."
"Officer Wu, I don't see that you care about me."
Li Mengnan stared at Wu Ansu's face, who was very close at hand, and said with a half-smile.
Only then did Wu Ansu realize that the posture between the two of them was indeed a bit ambiguous at this moment. His cheeks turned red, and then he glared with a tigerish face and said angrily: "Stop pouring ecstasy soup on me. I'm not one of those little girls in your school."
, I won’t follow your example... I don’t care about you, it’s just that I brought that person here, and if anything happens to you, I have to be responsible.”
"Police Officer Wu, if something happens, will you really be responsible for me?" Li Mengnan held his hands together, his eyes sparkling, and he seemed to be inexplicably moved.
"Nonsense! Of course I will be responsible for what I do to the end!" Wu Ansu gave Li Mengnan a hard look.
"Really?"
Li Mengnan covered her mouth tightly with both hands, looking like a little girl on TV who cried with joy after receiving flowers from her boyfriend.
Wu Ansu suddenly felt that something was wrong there. Before she could react, she saw Li Mengnan pinching the corner of his clothes shyly with one hand and gently stroking his belly with the other. His face turned red and he said coquettishly: "I... I always feel a little nauseous when I eat recently.
, Officer Wu, you...you said you would be responsible, right?"
Several senior-looking girls happened to pass by, looking at the two of them with astonishment on their faces, and a few seconds later they let out a series of shocking laughter.
Wu Ansu's face instantly turned from red to blue, then from green to black, and the knuckles of his fists clenched.
"Li Mengnan, I'm going to kill you!"
"Officer Wu, calm down! I was just saying that last time you invited me to dinner, I might have eaten something unclean..."
"You are talking nonsense! Do you really think I am an idiot? If I don't tear up your bitch today, this girl will take your surname from now on!"
"Uh... Li Wu clan?"
"Go to hell!"
…
Soothing Wu Ansu, the furious female tyrannosaurus, was not only a technical job, but also a physical job. By the time Li Mengnan sent her away and returned to the department conference room again, there was already some sweat on her head.
The strange middle-aged man named Euonymus was still sitting on the chair playing the game, without even changing the angle of his two toes. When he heard Li Mengnan's footsteps entering the room, he said without raising his head: "Put that little
The girl is sent away? Women are difficult to deal with, aren’t they?"
"Little girl?"
Li Mengnan always felt that this title was quite inappropriate when used on Wu Ansu, but when he thought about it, it was right. For this "Ben 4" level uncle, wasn't Wu Ansu, who was only 26 years old, the little girl in his eyes?
"It's okay, at least it's much easier to deal with than the wild boar." Li Mengnan shrugged his shoulders indifferently, expressing that he was not stressed.
Wei Mao put down the PSP game console in his hand and suddenly talked about his past inexplicably.
"Do you know? When I was your age, I had a girlfriend, and that girl also had a very bad temper like the little girl named Wu just now. We often quarreled at that time.
Later, a friend taught me a trick: as long as she quarreled with me again, I would not say anything, just push her down and strip her naked..."
"Is it effective?"
"very effective."
"Then what?"
"Then we broke up."
"Why?
"Because since then she has been looking for trouble and quarreling with me almost every day."
"..."
Li Mengnan rarely encounters situations where he can't figure out the other person's behavior pattern. Obviously, this middle-aged man named Wei Mao is not just a perverted uncle who controls two-dimensional lolita.
"You're just telling me this to teach me this totally unreliable idea?" Li Mengnan sat on the chair and picked up the small half of the cigarette butt he had just extinguished on the ashtray.
"You can take it yourself." Wei Mao leaned out and pushed the unpacked box of soft Chinese medicine in front of Li Mengnan.
"Thank you, but I'd better finish smoking this half before talking... I grew up poor and didn't dare to waste it. It's ridiculous." Li Mengnan took a few puffs and sucked the small cigarette butt to the root. He picked up one again and rolled it between his fingers.
He said calmly: "I have to correct two of your statements - first, Wu Ansu and I are not boyfriend and girlfriend, we are just good friends, or it would be more appropriate to say buddies; second, your method is based on people.
If it is different, it will not be effective against Wu Ansu and will only cause him to die faster."
"That's why I said that women in reality are trouble." Wei Mao curled his lips disdainfully, and his otaku nature was fully exposed in one sentence.
"Trouble is sometimes a kind of fun." Li Mengnan smiled casually, then straightened his face and said, "Let's get down to business, what is the real purpose of you coming to me? It's not just to find someone to chat with you...
But then again, people like you can indeed be bored to this extent."
