Transmigrated into a poor peasant family, lacking clothes and food, life is hard enough, why must she also be schemed against by her only relative?
So she's not their biological child, wh...
To reward everyone, Jiang Qiao's meals were much better than usual, with everyone getting bone broth at every meal. The children also came over to eat, making the house much livelier.
There were still some people who hadn't returned yet. Jiang Qiao had put them all in the pot, intending to eat them when they came back. Just as she was about to go out to check, a little beggar ran back and reported the latest news to Jiang Qiao and the others.
"Sister, Grandpa said a strange person came last night, and the flowers have changed again. Do you think they might be up to something?"
Jiang Qiao pondered for a moment, then told the little beggar to eat first. He turned to Wu Dong and said, "Uncle, hurry up and make a phone call to find Lu Zhiyuan and ask him to come and figure out a solution. Should we send someone over or contact the police? I'll go over and take a look first."
Wu Dong couldn't let Jiang Qiao go alone. "I'll go with you."
Jiang Qiao shook her head. "No, you're the only one who can contact them. Others might not be able to transfer the call. Hurry up, don't dawdle. I suspect they're meeting up or planning something tonight. You need to hurry."
After finishing their meal, the group went out with Jiang Qiao. "Brother Erping, you guys wait around here. If anything happens, I'll let you know what to do next."
Jiang Qiao first went to look at the flowers placed at the door, night-blooming jasmine. According to what they had learned before, this should mean that they were about to meet. However, after so many years, she really couldn't be sure if the meaning of these flowers had changed.
I walked over and sat down with the veteran. The two of them talked about the person he had seen earlier.
“There’s a problem. My intuition is never wrong. After all, I’m a former scout. That person is different from the ordinary guests. There’s definitely something wrong with this person.”
"Girl, what do we do next?"
Jiang Qiao sighed, "Now that the problem has been discovered, we can only let the higher-ups take over. We are old and young, and we can't let anything happen to them. Let's wait. I've already sent someone to inform Uncle Lu. So, all we can do is wait patiently."
A short while later, a person came out of the inn. Jiang Qiao looked him over and figured he was one of the inn's employees.
"It's him. He's the one who changes the flowers. Girl, send someone to follow him."
Jiang Qiao dared not let Erping do the tracking; the other party was clearly a well-trained person, and she dared not take the risk.
After whispering a few words to Erping, she followed him out. The man was quite vigilant, glancing back every three steps. Jiang Qiao dared not reveal her presence at all. As soon as he turned around, she entered her spatial dimension. She walked and stopped like this until the man arrived at a house. He slipped a note inside, knocked on the door, and when he heard a sound from inside, he quickly left.
Even if Jiang Qiao wanted to see what was written on the paper, it was impossible, because she had already heard footsteps approaching the door.
So she had no choice but to continue following the guy, who went in a big circle and ended up back at the hotel.
Jiang Qiao was so angry that she almost wanted to grab that person and beat him up. Damn it, was it easy for her? She had gone through so much trouble with this bastard, and now she had come all the way back. Just to avoid being discovered, she had been hiding in her spatial dimension again and again. Now she felt exhausted, both from the fatigue and the tension. When she turned around, she saw that the old soldier was gone, which gave Jiang Qiao a cold sweat.
"Jiang Qiao, Jiang Qiao, over here—"
When Erping and the others saw that Jiang Qiao was about to sit on the ground, they quickly called her over.
Jiang Qiao staggered into the shadows. "What happened? Where is everyone?"
Erping pointed to the spot where the veteran was sitting and said, "Someone has come to replace Grandpa Veteran. They told us to all go back. I've already had someone send Grandpa back. Their people are at our house. If they see you, they'll take you back right away."
Jiang Qiao wiped her sweat and muttered, "These people are really something. They can scare people to death. Alright, let's go back."
Jiang Qiao was surprised that Lu Zhiyuan had also come. In addition to him, there were two people in military uniforms and a policeman.
"Jiang Qiao, you're back! Come on, tell us what you've discovered?"
Jiang Qiao told the other party about the results of her surveillance, "I'll take you there in a bit, Uncle Lu. Do we need to keep an eye on the people here anymore?"
Lu Zhiyuan gestured for Jiang Qiao to sit down first. "Girl, you did a good job. You deserve praise."
Jiang Qiao pouted, pretending to be angry, "Uncle, you can't just praise them verbally. Look at them, you have to put it into practice. They are all homeless children."
Lu Zhiyuan knew this niece was no pushover, and he smiled at the police officers, saying, "Girl, you can tell the police officers what you're thinking. Don't worry, they'll do their best to help you with what they can."
Jiang Qiao glanced at Erping, pondered for a moment, and then looked at the police officers with a smile. "Uncle, I'll talk about this after you solve this case. Otherwise, you'll definitely think we're trying to take credit and blackmail you. Don't worry, it's definitely something you can do, and it doesn't violate any regulations."
Alright, let's get back to the main topic. What are your plans next? Replace them all with your own people?
The police officer smiled and said, "This is what we want to discuss with you next. We'll need your cooperation in the follow-up..."
The police will definitely send people, but because the adults are too obvious targets, on the surface, Erping and the other beggars will continue to be responsible for the investigation, while the police will remain in the shadows.
"Jiang Qiao, you and Erping will be in charge of commanding the people here. We'll cooperate with each other. It's not appropriate to wipe them all out yet. We need to see if there are any other people here, and what they're up to. That way, we can take them all down in one fell swoop."
The tasks were assigned, and Jiang Qiao and Erping didn't hesitate at all. To be honest, these police officers admired Jiang Qiao and the other young men and the veterans for accomplishing such a big thing without them even realizing it.
After communicating with Jiang Qiao and the others, Lu Zhiyuan left with his men.
After Jiang Qiao led his men to that family's house, the affairs there were no longer their responsibility, and the others focused on the inn.
Ten days of surveillance and tracking finally yielded results. After figuring out the situation of these people, the police acted decisively and arrested them all in one fell swoop. The results of the interrogation were even more encouraging.
The guest who arrived in the middle of the night was primarily targeting the leaders attending the August 1st military parade. The hotel staff and manager were accomplices, as was the male head of the household that Jiang Qiao followed in the middle of the night; he was responsible for providing weapons.
However, they also confessed that they had accomplices in the military camp who would take them in, but they didn't know who those accomplices were. So, the next thing to do was for Ji Weijun and his team to handle.
As for those who incited the sons and grandsons of the royal family, they were accomplices of this group and were naturally arrested as well.
