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...
Liu Zhanyu remarked with emotion, "She's still my daughter. That analysis is quite insightful."
"Girl, tell me, where could Dou Yanhua possibly be hiding? Now that this has already happened, it wouldn't make sense not to find her, would it?"
Jiang Qiao shook her head. "I don't know either, but we can slowly sort things out. The time when Director Song and I were kidnapped, and the time when all our people were in place, means the other party shouldn't have gone far."
By the way, is there another road leading to the prison, heading north?
Chen Fang nodded. "Yes—"
"That's right. It's only been half an hour since they left through that road. It's unlikely that they left our city."
Did Director Song communicate with his superiors and coordinate with various localities at that time?
Chen Fang nodded again, and Jiang Qiao spread his hands, "That settles it then. In that deep mountain forest, let alone Dou Yanhua, even I have to think carefully about how much stuff the other party can bring. Even if that special envoy came from the old forest, the place is not right."
So, I think the search in the forest should end tonight. It's not very meaningful; they won't be treating Dou Yanhua on the mountain.
Think about it, how can someone with diarrhea like that travel?
Ning Hao washed the fruit and came in. "Come on, don't rush to talk. Eat some fruit first to replenish your energy. Let's think carefully about where this person is hiding."
Chen Fang was at a loss for words when faced with Jiang Qiao's notoriously bachelorish statement, so he could only start eating an apple.
He had just taken a bite when he immediately remembered something, “By the way, do you think people might be hiding in the orchard?”
At this time of day, there's definitely no one in the orchard. Besides, in the summer, the people who look after the orchard have houses to live in. Could they be hiding here?
Jiang Qiao gave a very definite answer: "It's possible."
And that was the end of it. Ning Hao was peeling apples for his wife and father-in-law, and looking at Chen Fang's expression, he couldn't help but laugh.
"Qiao'er, you should say a few more words, otherwise Section Chief Chen won't feel at ease. If you were in his shoes, where would you want to hide?"
Jiang Qiao smiled helplessly. "People are different, their thoughts are different, their mindsets are different, so their choices are different. I really can't say for sure."
As you all know, I've been bedridden for four years, and I've been away from home for the past few months, so I really don't know what changes have happened here.
"Sigh, if you really want me to speak, I'll choose a place none of you would expect, hide out until things calm down, and then find another opportunity to leave."
Chen Fang sighed, "You two are truly a perfect couple; you even gave the same answer. Now, can you think of any other unexpected places you mentioned?"
Jiang Qiao shook her head. "This place is a bit hard to find. Did you bring a map? Let me take a look."
Chen Fang took out a map and handed it to Jiang Qiao, and the others stared at Jiang Qiao expectantly.
To be honest, Jiang Qiao wasn't just looking around randomly. She was calculating the time, identifying the area, and then carefully considering and analyzing all the possibilities. Finally, her gaze settled on one spot, and she didn't look away for a long time.
Actually, she was also thinking about this place, but no matter how she thought about it, it seemed unlikely.
Liu Zhanyu and the others craned their necks to look at where Jiang Qiao was touching, and then each of them looked thoughtful.
Chen Fang shook his head with great suspicion. "That place is impossible. It's a martyrs' cemetery, and the person guarding the tomb is an old soldier. It's impossible for him. The local police station has already been there, and they found nothing."
Jiang Qiao gave a wry smile. "I didn't say the old man had a problem. Rather, those enemies might have taken advantage of him. I'm not saying the old man wasn't vigilant. It's just that he wasn't the one who built the cemetery back then."
Perhaps the enemy built an underground passage in a cemetery, but they haven't had the chance to use it for so many years.
However, these are all just my guesses. Whether they are true or not, we can only know by going to the scene to verify them. After all, the old man is old and his hearing is not so sensitive. Besides, it is possible that the enemy used some tricks or drugs.
"How about this, we'll take some people and go there now, thoroughly investigate everything that needs to be done, and eventually this matter needs to be resolved."
Liu Zhanyu nodded. "I think it's a good idea. I doubt we can count on the special envoy; that woman won't stay here."
Jiang Qiao quickly got up and put on her cotton-padded coat. This time, she had learned her lesson and there was nothing wrong with wearing more clothes.
She was bundled up in thick cotton-padded coats and trousers, completely covered up. The old man behind her gave her a word of advice: "Girl, bring all your tools, and bring plenty of medicine too. Just in case it's true, we can just sprinkle some medicine on them, that'll be convenient."
Jiang Qiao smiled and nodded, "Grandpa Qiao, please get dressed. I'll take you to a safe place."
Chen Fang was puzzled. "What's wrong? Are you worried about the old man being at home?"
Jiang Qiao sighed, "My grandfather Qiao is so old. What if those enemy agents don't give up? I'm worried about leaving him alone at home. Grandpa Qiao, let's go."
The old man listened to her. Since his granddaughter said the house wasn't safe, he listened to her and said that Qiao'er would definitely not let him wander around the streets.
As Jiang Qiao left, she reminded Li Meilan, "Auntie, be careful of strangers coming into our yard. If anything happens, just call out and everyone will come to help."
Li Meilan nodded. "Don't worry, word has spread that they're catching bad guys. If they dare to come here, they won't be able to escape."
Jiang Qiao took the old man to Song Zhi's place and also dispatched a troop of garrison troops to help, just in case the other side might ambush him.
The group drove straight to the Martyrs' Cemetery. To be honest, it was quite a distance. Liu Zhanyu sat in the car, glancing at his watch every now and then, calculating the time.
If Jiang Qiao's judgment is wrong, they can divide the area into specific zones based on the length of time, which would at least reduce everyone's workload.
He was somewhat unwilling to give up until he caught Dou Yanhua. That woman could set traps and scheme against them, so Dou Yanhua was even less likely to be left out in their hands. At least they had to make that woman think twice before letting her go.
The only one who seemed relaxed here was probably Ning Hao. Jiang Qiao had been staring at the map for so long without saying a word. Others might have thought she was hesitating, but Ning Hao knew that she was calculating distance and time.
Previously, Jiang Qiao hadn't mentioned that the person might be hiding there because she didn't dare to make any rash judgments. Everyone was tired, and without certainty, she didn't want to disappoint them again.
Ning Hao knew Jiang Qiao's mind all too well. Everyone else used rulers to measure and pens to calculate, but his little wife didn't.
Now that Jiang Qiao has spoken, she will have planned everything.
