In fact, Jiang Xinyu knew very well that Xiao Liang must have told Lao Qiu about the situation before his death. The reason why no one approached Shuhua for a long time was because the entire city of Yanjin was under martial law and all underground party actions could only be suspended.
According to the current trend, the enemy will definitely expand the search scope to surrounding areas little by little. If Shuhua continues to stay in Jing County, she may be in danger of being arrested.
For Shuhua, a woman, without external help, it would be even harder to pass through the checkpoints and enter the Jizhong base area than to reach the sky.
Therefore, Jiang Xinyu asked Shuhua to transfer to Sichuan and told her to leave at this time tomorrow, hoping that she could calm down her grief in the shortest possible time.
It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon when we returned to Yanjin from Jingxian County. Zhao Yuhu and the two agents brought some documents back to the detective team, while Jiang Xinyu went home directly and wanted to send his suitcase back.
Not ten minutes after arriving home, Lei-Ban called: "Xinyu, are you back from a business trip?"
Jiang Xinyu stuffed the suitcase into the cabinet and said, "Aren't you talking nonsense? I answered your call at home, but I just came back."
"Did things go smoothly?" Ray-Ban on the phone had an obvious intention of trying to please him.
"Ray-Ban, do you think this is interesting? Why don't you ask me openly how the money went?"
"Xinyu, it's my fault. Well, how's the money going?" Lei Ban said a little embarrassedly after seeing through his thoughts.
"Don't worry, it's almost done, but it will take a day or two to get everything together."
Jiang Xinyu didn't want to tell Lei Pen right now that the eight gold bars were ready. It would be like saying that he went to Jing County and got the money.
"Great! I'll go to Qiuyue Tower and pay the deposit first!"
"Why do you still need to pay the deposit?"
"Wizhizi has said that the price will be the same for everyone. I'm worried about what I will do if someone else robs me. After paying the deposit and signing the documents, I don't see how he can regret it!"
"Are you going to pay the deposit now?"
"Yes, it's a long night and a lot of dreams, so I don't dare to delay it."
There is only one street between Qiuyue Tower and the General Administration of Customs. Jiang Xinyu thought for a while and said: "Well, I have nothing to do anyway. You wait for me at home and I will accompany you."
With the detective captain standing in front of us and his own face glowing, Lei Ban said excitedly, "Okay! After paying the deposit, we two brothers will have a drink at Qiuyue Tower."
Jiang Xinyu smiled and said: "I just finished drinking it two days ago. Are you still drinking?"
"Can it be the same? There is a girl accompanying me in Qiuyue Tower, so the tone is different." Lei Ban said with a smile.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Xinyu parked his car outside Lei-Ban's house and honked the horn several times.
After a while, Ray-Ban hurriedly came out, opened the car door and got in.
Jiang Xinyu looked him up and down and said, "People are really in high spirits during happy events. Looking at your current state, you really have the energy of a groom."
Ray-Ban touched his waxed hairstyle and said proudly: "Yeah, that's what they say."
After talking about it, the car arrived at the entrance of Qiuyue Tower, and Jiang Xinyu said: "You go in first, and I'll buy a pack of cigarettes."
"There is a cigarette seller in Qiuyue Building."
"Yes, but the price has been tripled. It's too expensive and I can't afford it."
"Then hurry up, I'll wait for you downstairs."
"good."
Lei Pen got out of the car and walked into Qiuyue Tower with his head held high. Jiang Xinyu had written a secret letter in advance. He was going to repeat his old trick and find someone to deliver the letter to Qin Li for him.
Before he could turn the car around, Lei Pen ran out of Qiuyue Tower angrily, came to Jiang Xinyu's car door, and said: "Xinyu, get off the car and follow me in!"
"I haven't bought any cigarettes yet..."
"Follow me inside first, and you can come out later to buy cigarettes!"
"What happened?"
Jiang Xinyu had no choice but to park the car on the side of the road. If he insists on buying cigarettes, it will make people feel strange and it is not a reasonable behavior.
"I just told the old madam that I came to redeem Xiao Taohong and pay a deposit. What do you think she said?"
"How to say?"
"She said that Xiao Taohong is accompanying a guest, and I can't see her today. That's right! I already said that I have to pay for the ransom, so why should I accompany the guest!"
The two of them talked and walked into Qiuyue Tower.
The old bustard was greeting other guests. When he saw Lei Pen coming back, he lowered his face and said: "Chief Lei, I told you, even if you redeem people directly now, Xiao Taohong must also accompany the distinguished guests well. This is from Qiuyue Tower.
rule!"
Lei Pen, a young police chief, didn't dare to cause trouble in Qiuyue Tower. Today, with Jiang Xinyu here, he gained some confidence. Besides, he was ready to pay the deposit, but he still couldn't see Xiao Taohong. He was really upset.
"Who made the bullshit rules!" Ray Ban said angrily.
The old madam raised her eyelids and said in a strange tone: "Hey, Chief Lei, you'd better be polite when you speak. The rules of Qiuyue Tower are naturally set by Boss Wu."
Jiang Xinyu calmed down the matter and said: "Lei Ban, forget it, let's pay the deposit today. It won't take more than a day and a half to see Xiao Taohong."
Lei Ban thought for a while and finally suppressed the anger in his heart. It would be a bit of honor for him to make such a fuss here, and Wazizi was not someone to be trifled with.
"Boss Wu, please come out. I want to pay a deposit to redeem the person!" Lei Ban took out two gold bars from his arms and slapped them on the table.
The old madam glanced at the gold bars on the table and said, "What a coincidence. Boss Wu is talking to the guests. I'm afraid I don't have time to see you today."
"You didn't tell me earlier, you were trying to trick me!" Ray-Ban finally couldn't control his anger and slapped the old madam in the mouth.
This stirred up a hornet's nest. With his reputation as a wizard, it was rare for the Madam of Qiuyue Tower to be beaten.
"Come here, someone is destroying the place!...You can't leave!" The old madam grabbed Ray-Ban's clothes and shouted to the back like he was mourning.
The thugs who were usually raised just to deal with this kind of thing heard the old madam shouting, and five or six burly men rushed out from inside, surrounding Lei Pen and Jiang Xinyu like menaces.
At this time, Xiao Taohong on the stairs said in a cooing voice: "Godmother, Boss Wu said, please ask Chief Lei to come up."
Jiang Xinyu is the new captain of the detective team. Many people don't know him. He was just thinking about whether to declare his family status to scare these thugs and avoid causing trouble for him.
Now that the boss had spoken, the madam couldn't say anything else. She glared at Ray-Ban angrily and signaled the thugs to retreat.
Seeing the sudden appearance of his sweetheart, Lei Pen was overjoyed and didn't bother to greet Jiang Xinyu. He ran upstairs in three steps and then held on to Xiao Taohong's hand tightly.
"Hong, how did you know that Boss Qiao wanted to see me?"
Xiao Taohong rolled her eyes at Lei Ban and said coquettishly: "Fool, the distinguished guest I am accompanying is a friend of Boss Qiao. I just heard the noise downstairs, so I spoke for you, and Boss Qiao asked you to come up and pay the deposit."
"You know the inside and outside so quickly?" Lei Ban smiled mischievously and pinched Xiao Taohong's cheek.
Xiao Taohong hit him lightly and said, "I would be so happy to know that you came to redeem me and pay the deposit..."
She stopped talking, and Jiang Xinyu followed him upstairs, pointed at Ray-Ban and said, "You are a guy who values sex over friends!"
"Oh, I'm sorry, brother, I was so happy that I forgot about you." Lei Ban put his arm around Xiao Taohong's shoulders and said with a smile.
Jiang Xinyu sighed and said, "If you are always happy, you may not remember me."
"how could be……"
"Xiao Taohong, is anyone here?" The voice of the wizard came from a room.
"Coming, coming." Xiao Taohong promised repeatedly, leading Lei Ban and Jiang Xinyu to open the door and walk in.
There are two large rooms in the house. The inside is a bedroom with a curtain, and the outside is a living room. There is a mahogany dining table with various wines and dishes.
Wu Laizi was sitting at the dining table with a man about forty years old. Next to him stood four men with alert eyes. They were dressed in ordinary clothes, making it difficult to guess their occupations.
