Chapter 295 At that time
Jiang Ying lowered his head and remained silent.
Su Tong said, "Actually, I have a lot of questions, but it's hard for me to ask. For example, Lin Jiao should be a freshman, right? No matter what major she studies, doesn't she start learning the basics in her freshman year? Why can she follow Professor Zhai to the Southwest Research Institute to do a project?"
"Also, the news sent by the military later said that Professor Zhai was kidnapped around midnight. Is it reasonable for a little girl like Lin Jiao to go to Professor Zhai so late at night?"
Jiang Ying looked up at Su Tong, her eyes clearly showing a struggle...
"Su Tong, it's not that I don't want to say it, but - I'm not sure myself. What if, what if I remembered it wrong..."
"Then you tell me first?"
Jiang Ying was still a little hesitant...
Su Tong didn't ask any more questions. He patted Jiang Ying's shoulder, and the two walked forward in silence.
Everyone has their own stance, and Jiang Ying has the right not to speak.
Far ahead, you can see Lin Jiao sitting on a sedan chair. Her figure is small and looks weak and pitiful at first glance.
But who could have imagined that she could say those words so viciously.
Jiang Ying retracted her gaze and whispered, "Su Tong, can I trust you?"
Su Tong looked directly into Jiang Ying's eyes and asked her:
"Do you trust Boss Qin?"
Jiang Ying understood. She was someone Boss Qin trusted, and they all trusted Boss Qin as well!
Jiang Ying grabbed Su Tong's hand, looked at Lin Jiao in front of him again, and whispered:
"Lin Jiao...she got on that car herself!"
"What's the meaning?"
Su Tong asked, "Please tell me more details!"
The two of them were always lagging behind the team, walking slowly, just within the range that Lin Li could see if he turned around.
Jiang Ying lowered her voice as she walked, describing the situation at that time...
"The security of the Southwest Research Institute is very strict. It is impossible for outsiders to get in. At about 12 o'clock that night, Lin Jiao had obviously gone to bed, but she suddenly got up and quietly went to Professor Zhai's room. I lived next door to her and didn't understand what she was going to do, so I had to follow her secretly."
"Then, I saw that she didn't go up to knock on the door, but hid behind the pillar and waited. Sure enough, not long after, Professor Zhai came out of the room neatly dressed and walked towards the back door of the institute. Lin Jiao saw him and quietly followed him."
"Zhang Zili was also following the professor. He was also surprised to see Lin Jiao's behavior. He turned around and found me, wanting to know what was going on. I had no choice but to shake my head. Our mission is security. Unless there is any danger, we are not allowed to interfere with the actions of the people we are protecting."
Su Tong was very surprised. "You mean... Professor Zhai was kidnapped outside the institute? And he walked out on his own? Lin Jiao, did you actually follow Professor Zhai out?"
"Yes! The dormitory building is very close to the back door. We followed Professor Zhai and Lin Jiao out of the back door. Not long after we walked, Professor Zhai got into a car on the side of the road. Lin Jiao was trying to hide, but when she saw the car, she suddenly rushed out! From what she said, she wanted to get in that car too!"
"I had a bad feeling, but before we rushed over, I saw the people in the car put a sack around Lin Jiao and threw her into the back seat. Then I heard Professor Zhai's angry voice and saw Professor Zhai trying to push open the door to get out, but he was pulled back. Then the car drove away with a violent shake."
"Zhang Zili and I chased the car as hard as we could. Just when we were about to lose it, the car stopped at the gate of a yard and honked a few times. Then a few trucks came out and caught up with the one in front. In a hurry, we climbed onto the truck's compartment... You know what happened next."
Su Tong pondered for a while and said, "Have you reported these situations to the public security department?"
Jiang Ying said: "I have reported it. After Lin Jiao was rescued, the public security department also came to her to ask about the relevant situation. Lin Jiao told them that she saw Professor Zhai going out at night and was a little worried, so she followed him. Then she saw Professor Zhai struggling in the car, so she ran out in a hurry..."
"But I clearly remember that she ran out first, and after she was put in a sack, Professor Zhai started arguing with them."
"Then... after Professor Zhai was rescued, did he explain why he went out so late at night?"
Jiang Ying nodded and said, "Professor Zhai said that he received a note with the time and place, as well as the content he was researching."
"The content of his research at the Southwest Research Institute was highly confidential, but the other party seemed to know everything. He was very surprised and wanted to find out the reason, so he went out to meet the other party at the time written on the report, and he was arrested as a result."
Su Tong said: "So, there are two doubts. First, how did Lin Jiao know that Professor Zhai would go out? Second, why did Lin Jiao take the initiative to run out and expose herself? Apart from these two points, the rest are reasonable."
After hearing this, Jiang Ying nodded repeatedly and gave her a thumbs up.
She continued, "After I replaced Lin Jiao, I was shaken in the sack until I was dizzy. From what I heard from those people, they were just following orders and didn't know Lin Jiao at all. They were somewhat polite to Professor Zhai, but very impatient with Lin Jiao. I even felt that if it wasn't for Professor Zhai's consideration, Lin Jiao would have been thrown out of the car long ago."
"So, I have been puzzled. I can't figure out her purpose of doing this. I don't dare to tell others, as if I have to discredit that girl. Zhang Zili also saw it at the time, but unfortunately, he... is gone."
When Zhang Zili was mentioned, both of them were silent for a while.
Then Su Tong patted Jiang Ying's hand. Just as he was about to speak, Lin Li turned around and shouted:
"Hurry up, both of you! We're going to cross a suspension bridge ahead! Follow closely!"
The suspension bridge was shaking quite a bit, so the public security comrades moved these "outsiders" to the middle of the team. They were protected by local public security comrades in front and behind, so they had a smooth journey.
Su Tong and Jiang Ying also stopped communicating and tried their best to keep up with the team.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, we finally finished our walk along the mountain road. A horse-drawn carriage was prepared to carry away the information carried by the public security comrades. After riding the carriage for a few kilometers, we could see the asphalt road.
It was already four o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the residence in Dada County.
This time, Lin Jiao was arranged to live in another place. Jiang Ying wanted to stay with Lin Jiao. Before leaving, she looked at Su Tong frequently, still worried about the problem that she had not finished analyzing. She said that she would come to find her after she was settled.
Su Tong's residence is in the same building as the members of the action team, but everyone is busy and has not returned.
Her current identity is rather "special". After the disguise mission is over, her identity has reverted to being that of a "helpful person". Even if she wants to help do something, it is no longer convenient.
Even if we want to "reward according to merit", that will be after the case is over.
Su Tong simply lay down, thinking about adjusting himself for a few days before thinking about what to do next.
She had a deep sleep and was awakened by a knock on the door.
I woke up and looked at the clock. It was already past six o'clock. I had slept for almost two hours.
When the door was opened, Peng Zhi was standing at the door with a large bag in one hand and a net bag in the other, and he said with a smile:
"Comrade Su, this is what Captain Qin asked me to prepare for you. It was ready a few days ago. Can you see if there is anything missing?"
