Someone knocked on the door. She stopped the knife in her hand and looked around. She thought it was an illusion and continued to cut the meat.
Dong dong dong——
There was another knock on the door. This time she put down the knife in her hand, took off her disposable gloves, washed her hands and walked to the door. Through the camera on the wall, she saw a man in formal clothes standing outside the door, wearing a pair of gloves.
A pair of sunglasses, looking at the camera.
"Who?" she asked.
"Hello, my name is Liu Xiaosi, and I am a colleague of Duke." the man replied.
She was stunned for a moment, and then hesitated to open the door for him. When he was about to refuse, the man suddenly said something else: "Duke's identity has been exposed."
After hearing this, she quickly opened the door. Not many people knew Duke's secret. What he just said made her think it was someone with knowledge of the matter, so she opened the door in excitement. Standing outside the door was a man in a suit.
The young man looked about the same age as Duke. He took out his police badge and showed it to her.
"come in."
Liu Xiaosi changed into his slippers and came to the living room to sit down. He smiled politely at her and said, "Sit down too. We need to talk about this matter."
She looked at the man carefully and found nothing unusual, so she sat down and asked, "What did you just say?"
Liu Xiaosi smiled and replied: "Not only you and Mr. Du know about this matter, but also many others know about it. Now that the energy in him has been noticed, other people's eyes have been locked on him. In order to protect him
,I need your help."
She was wondering whether she should believe Liu Xiaosi's words. As far as she knew, there should be no more than ten people besides the couple who knew the secret of Duke's identity. Could it be that Liu Xiaosi was also one of the insiders?
? But judging from his appearance, he should be about the same age as Duke, so it is even less likely that he would know about this.
"What you said...is all true?"
Liu Xiaosi nodded: "Yes, it's absolutely true."
"Have the flowers at the door of my house withered?"
She suddenly asked such a question, Liu Xiaosi frowned, thought about it and said, "I didn't see any flowers when I came in just now?"
"Really?" She seemed to understand something and said, "Well, I'm sorry, maybe I remembered it wrong. The flowers were given away yesterday. Recently, my memory is getting worse and worse. I always lose things.
"
Liu Xiaosi failed to catch the code. It seemed that this uninvited guest was not an insider on their side at all. Her off-topic remark just now seemed ordinary, but it was actually a code word for them to confirm their identity.
"If you have anything to say, just say it. I'll do my best." She pretended to be nonchalant and poured him tea while thinking about how to get rid of this suspicious person.
"Okay." Liu Xiaosi smiled slightly and continued: "To tell you the truth, I came to you this time to confirm whether Duke's secret has been known to others, and to discuss protecting Duke.
You and your husband will take the measures to bring him up, and it will be easier for you to do many things."
She pretended to deal with it: "So that's it. You don't have to worry about it. We have always kept Duke's secret very well. Then...how do you want me to help you?"
Liu Xiaosi straightened his posture and said, "That's it. As Duke's adoptive mother, you are also an insider of Duke's life experience. Now that Duke's secret has been exposed, as an insider and guardian, you will definitely be affected by others.
attack, so we have sent some people to be responsible for your personal safety around the clock. On the other hand, we hope to make Duke recognize the secrets in him. He may come back soon. By then, you must know everything
Tell him everything so that he will not be suspicious of you. After he knows the truth, you need to ensure that he chooses our side. Only in this way can we ensure that he does not fall into the hands of the enemy."
She wasted so much words, but all she got was a coping answer. In her opinion, the person in front of her just used Duke as a tool to use. Although it was unlikely, she still wanted to get out of this person's mouth.
Get something out of it.
"How's Duke doing now? Last time he said he was going to move to the bureau's dormitory, but he hasn't been back for a week."
Liu Xiaosi smiled knowingly and replied: "Don't worry, he is fine and safe now."
"Then I'll rest assured. When you get back, tell him that his birthday is coming soon. Let him go home to celebrate his birthday and ask him to bring you with him."
Liu Xiaosi secretly said in his heart: Fortunately, I know Duke's birthday. It seems that she has already doubted me.
"Auntie, isn't Duke's birthday at the end of next month? Did you remember it wrong?"
"Really? Look at my memory, I thought it was already that month, haha."
After chatting for a while, she sent Liu Xiaosi away. Then she quickly found the phone book left by her husband, which only had the contact information of the other ten people. He secretly sent what happened just now through a message to
them.
At this time, one of the insiders was standing at the door of their home. He took out his mobile phone, took a look at the message content, and knocked lightly on the door.
…
The East District Jianghe Wharf is a canal that was opened not long ago. The owner of the wharf is a middle-aged man named Malay. He spent huge sums of money to build a twenty-story office building on the land of the wharf. The name of the company was directly adopted.
His name: Malay Trading Co., Ltd.
A DSIB car stopped at the foot of the building. Four people got out of the car, two young and two with long white hair. After showing the investigation order to the front desk, they were taken to the elevator to Malay's office.
Malay's secretary was outside the office. She knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Ma, people from DSIB are looking for you, saying they are here to investigate the case."
Malay had just opened an iron box. When he heard the four letters "DSIB", he suddenly froze and quickly put the iron box away.
"Invite them in."
They are DSIB investigators from the Eastern District. The team leader is named Zhang Kewei. He is a handsome silver-haired man with thick eyebrows, sharp eyes, angular face, slender body, and the look of a proper male god.
"Team Leader Zhang, why are you suddenly free to come to my small company?" As a businessman, being polite is an essential skill.
But Zhang Kewei happens to be the kind of stubborn person who doesn't know how to make ends meet, so his politeness bounced back as soon as he opened his mouth.
"This is an investigation order. Please cooperate with us. We have a few questions to ask you. Can you take some of your time?"
"Of course." Ma Lai stood up and guided the four of them to sit down. He poured tea and said, "If you need anything, Team Leader Zhang, just ask. Ma will definitely cooperate with you."
Ma Lai's hand holding the tea kept shaking. If he hadn't tried his best to keep his balance with both hands, he might even have shaken the tea out of the cup.
"Mr. Ma's illness hasn't improved yet?" Zhang Kewei asked him as he took the tea.
"Parkinson is difficult to cure." After handing over the water, he quickly put his trembling hands on his thighs and pinched his thighs hard to prevent tremors.
Zhang Kewei smiled and said: "Mr. Ma, aren't you still under forty years old? How come you still have diseases that only the elderly get?"
Ma Lai sighed with resentment and said: "Maybe I am the only one among those ten thousand. The doctor said it can be treated, so I am now receiving treatment from experts."
