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...
"Something good? I have a feeling this guy has a girlfriend? Or maybe he confessed his feelings and got her to accept? Otherwise, what could make him so excited?"
Song Shutian agreed with Jiang Qiao's statement, saying, "Then think about it, who should that woman be?"
Jiang Qiao shook her head. "I can't guess. Just tell me, what did you find in his room back then?"
Song Shutian smiled and said, "A handkerchief, a handkerchief embroidered with orchids. This is clearly a woman's item, and it even has a fragrance."
Jiang Qiao looked at Song Shutian in surprise, "Fragrance? Is there any other smell? Could it be wrapped in this handkerchief that made this man trust her so much that he would eat something poisonous?"
Song Shutian gave Jiang Qiao a thumbs up, "Your thought process is amazing. Even a handkerchief can make you have all sorts of wild ideas."
Yes, the handkerchief tested positive for medication, the same as what was found in the deceased's body, but we don't know what kind of medication it is.
Jiang Qiao snorted, "It's definitely something those bastards got from outside. I just don't know how this woman managed to get the man to take the medicine. Sigh, she's really done something terrible. Has the owner of this handkerchief been found yet?"
Song Shutian shook his head. "Your Uncle Zhao had an accident, so this case has been temporarily shelved. It has now been restarted, and the people who were supposed to be sent out to investigate have already been sent out. Just wait for good news."
"Alright, I've brought everything back. Go and cook us a nice meal to reward us. We've only been here a couple of days, and we've already made progress on this case. We need to celebrate properly."
Jiang Qiao said, "To be honest, I'd like to drug this guy surnamed Zhu and make him confess. Why bother with all that trouble?"
Song Shutian smiled and said, "Don't rush. Good things come to those who wait. A fox will eventually show its tail. Now that we know who the other party is, let's wait for the person who will contact him. That way, we can follow the clues and find out more."
Jiang Qiao turned around and went out to make their lunch. The kitchen was fully stocked, so it seemed that Song Shutian and the others didn't plan to go back anytime soon.
Come to think of it, if we don't wipe out the enemy agents in one fell swoop, it will be a problem sooner or later. It's better to stay here and keep watch. Once we've dealt with them all, this place will be quieter in the future.
It was rare to see fruit, so Jiang Qiao washed it first and ate one herself. It was good, very sweet, and tasted much better than the fruit from their area. However, it was still not as good as the fruit in her space.
She washed a plate and took it out first, then came back to cook. Anyway, it was easy to cook for several people, and as long as there was no waste, Jiang Qiao could cook whatever she wanted. The rest of them needed to take good care of their health.
Just as they finished cooking, Zhang Dalei and Cao Mingyuan returned excitedly.
As soon as we entered the courtyard, we smelled the delicious aroma. "Oh my god, Jiang Qiao must have cooked this. We're so lucky! I've only ever heard Lao Liu brag about it to me before. Now, we can brag to him when we get back."
Zhang Dalei chuckled, "It can't be that weird, can it?"
Cao Mingyuan snorted, "Don't disbelieve me. After eating Jiang Qiao's cooking, I'm telling you, your health will definitely be better than before. If you don't believe me, try it."
Jiang Qiao, we're back—
Jiang Qiao poked her head out from the kitchen. "How was it? Did you get anything?"
Cao Mingyuan glanced into the kitchen with a smile. "We've made some progress. How are you going to reward us?"
Jiang Qiao pointed to the things in the room and said, "They serve me good food and dishes, but I don't know if your information is valuable. Anyway, I haven't gained anything all morning."
"Hurry up and wash your hands, come help, the old man should be back soon."
Just as they finished tidying up, Zhao Anbang returned. Although the old man had suffered some hardships before, thanks to Jiang Qiao's acupuncture, his condition only appeared to be somewhat serious. However, he knew his own body well and was full of energy.
"Oh my, good heavens, the fire's already lit! Good, good, this old man is in for a treat. Eating in the cafeteria every day is getting too much for my stomach. This time I can finally have some home-cooked food."
Jiang Qiao came out with a smile to help the old man fetch water for washing his hands.
"Uncle, how was your day? Did anyone treat you differently? If not, I'll stand up for you."
Zhao Anbang said with a smile, "You little girl, you're really deceptive in appearance. With your looks, who would have thought that you'd be so ruthless?"
"But your uncle isn't as useless as you think, is he? Don't worry, I've been burned once, do you think I'll be burned again? With you guys backing me up, what am I afraid of?"
"That's good. While we're still here, you should hurry up and take care of what needs to be done. I don't have any other options right now, so use my reputation while it still works—"
"Hehe, you little rascal, I never expected that your reputation would be so great back then, and that people would still remember you now. It's both a good thing and a bad thing. After all, it's not just ordinary people who remember you, but also enemy agents. Girl, you must be careful. Before all the enemy agents are wiped out, safety should be the top priority."
Jiang Qiao smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, if they dare to come, I definitely won't be polite to them. Director Song has equipped me with weapons. With these in hand, what am I afraid of? After we're done fighting, I can just ask Brother Song for more."
Lunch was made with water from the space, so it tasted exceptionally good. Even though it was a simple meal, it tasted like a delicacy to everyone.
"It's delicious. I never expected that Jiang Qiao could turn even vegetables into a feast. We'll try our best to come back for meals in the future."
After finishing their meal, it was time to get down to business, Zhang Dalei spoke first.
Do you know where that little mute boy went?
"Don't tell me you went to Feng Lan's house; that doesn't make sense. If Feng Lan's stepfather was the one hiding, he wouldn't have revealed himself so easily."
Zhang Dalei nodded. "That makes sense. He didn't go to Feng Lan's house, but instead went to gather pig feed. There's a farm nearby, so he put the note in a tree hole near the roadside close to the farm."
Then, around nine o'clock, someone came to collect it. This person was from the farm, a man. Then he gave the note to a woman, who, according to our investigation, is Feng Lan's brother's girlfriend.
Song Shutian asked, puzzled, "Why go through all this trouble? It would have been much easier to just have Feng Lan's brother take you there. Is there anything wrong with that man?"
Zhang Dalei shook his head. "We secretly asked someone, and they said that this note was a letter from Feng Lan's brother, Feng Biao, to that woman. The two of them can't meet often, so they pass messages like this when they need to."
He hadn't read the letter and had no idea what the two men were writing. He was just running errands for them; Feng Biao had always been kind to him, so this was just a small favor.
