"It's okay, let's drive."
Shen Changan sat in the passenger seat, looking ahead. In order to find the truth, he had to make this trip.
The main reason why I didn't ask anyone to investigate was that I didn't want to make it public.
If his guess is wrong and a high-profile investigation is conducted, Jiang Li, who has finally gained a foothold in the village, will probably have a harder time in the future.
The most important thing is my parents. They have been urging me to get married, but Shen Changan has been putting it off again and again.
If Jiang Li's child was really his, once his parents knew about it, they would never let the blood of the Shen family be left out in the world.
However, Jiang Li's attitude towards him was polite but cold, as if there was no love between men and women.
Seeing how skilled she is in taking care of children and how close her relationship with them is, I'm afraid it would be difficult to just give the child to them.
Shen Changan was very confused at this time. He had many guesses, but the most important thing was to do everything quietly, without alerting the enemy or making a big fuss.
If the results of the investigation show that it is indeed her, we will make a decision then.
The car drove along National Highway 320 for three hours and then turned into a narrower road in the town.
The car drove around the town for half an hour and finally stopped in front of the tax office.
Shen Changan got out of the car and stood at the door of the tax bureau for a long time.
According to the address provided by Director Niu, the waiter worked here.
The waiter only has a junior high school education and has not attended a technical secondary school majoring in this field. Logically, it is impossible for him to work here.
A waiter in a guesthouse, whose academic qualifications did not match the professional requirements, chose to work at a tax office.
This is an obvious problem, and anyone with a little bit of insight can find the trick behind it.
Shen Changan walked up and knocked on the door, and someone immediately received him.
"Sir, what business do you want to handle?"
"Hello, I'm looking for Chen Zhijun."
Chen Zhijun is the name of the waiter. He is a 25-year-old young man who got married and had a child this year.
"Sir, please come in and sit down."
The receptionist at the front desk was polite to Shen Changan because he saw his extraordinary demeanor. In fact, the tax bureau usually does not receive external guests except for its superiors.
Shen Changan also knew this situation, so he came here fully armed with a suit, trousers and leather shoes, and even his hair was combed meticulously.
Nowadays, many people bully the weak and fear the strong. If Shen Changan put on blue khaki work clothes, he probably wouldn't be able to enter the tax bureau, let alone meet Chen Zhijun.
Chen Zhijun just changed jobs a few months ago. Because of his low education and average abilities, he is taking a long time to get started.
He had miscalculated some data some time ago, and now his leader was criticizing him. He was lowering his head and quickly calculating the accounts.
"Chen Zhijun, someone is looking for you."
"I'm busy now, so I don't have time to go out and receive guests."
"He's an unusual-looking guy, and he's looking for you for something urgent. You'd better go out and take a look."
Although Chen Zhijun was reluctant, he still stood up and walked out.
He was still thinking about something while walking, so he didn't look up at the person in front of him.
"Chen Zhijun, long time no see."
Shen Changan's voice came with a laugh, and Chen Zhijun, whose mind was in a daze, was suddenly startled when he heard this familiar voice.
“Shen, Shen Changan?”
"Chen Zhijun, it's amazing that you still remember me."
Chen Zhijun still remembered him, which meant that he must have remembered that incident and had a deep impression of it. The smile on Shen Changan's face became even stronger.
"How did you find yourself here? I've already changed jobs..."
Chen Zhijun looked at Shen Changan in surprise. He didn't understand how Shen Changan found this place when their whole family had moved away. Baihua Town was nearly 200 kilometers away from Baiyun Town.
"I came here specifically to find you. Do you want to talk here, or do you want to borrow my time to talk?"
"Can you please excuse me and talk?" Chen Zhijun didn't want to bother with Shen Changan, but he didn't dare to offend him.
If he chooses to escape today, it would be because he doesn't want this job anymore.
But he moved his whole family for this job. They rented a new house and looked for new jobs here. It cost them a huge price to gain a foothold in Baihua Town.
Chen Zhijun would not give up this job no matter what. Since he could not escape, he would just face it bravely.
The two came to the meeting room, and Chen Zhijun took the initiative to lock the door.
"Are you going to tell me yourself or should I ask?"
Shen Changan got straight to the point. He came here to cause trouble. His attitude would not be too friendly, but not aggressive either.
Even rabbits will bite when they are cornered. Shen Changan just wants to investigate the truth, there is no need to force anyone to death.
"Just ask. If you want to know anything, just ask directly."
"On the night of March 31st last year, was there a girl named Jiang Li staying at the guesthouse?"
"No."
Chen Zhijun thought about it and shook his head with certainty. He took out a small notebook from his pocket, which was the check-in record for that night.
In order to hide the facts before, he took the check-in records with him when he left, so Shen Changan could not find any useful information when he went there.
Shen Changan took the check-in record and looked through it, but saw Song Jialin’s name on it.
He searched over and over again, but couldn't find Jiang Li's name.
"How could it be that there is none? Why is there none?"
Shen Changan frowned. According to his speculation, if the person in his room was really Jiang Li, there should be a check-in record that night.
“Indeed, there isn’t one.”
Chen Zhijun was obviously relieved, and Shen Changan calmed down and then asked.
"After I got drunk that day, did I enter the room by myself, or was someone else helping me in?"
Chen Zhijun recalled carefully for a moment: "You went in by yourself at first. When you were almost at the door of the guesthouse, a girl suddenly came over and supported you. Then you went into the room together and didn't come out the whole night."
"Does that girl look like this..."
Shen Changan described Jiang Li's figure and appearance, and Chen Zhijun shook his head, indicating that he didn't see it clearly.
"It was night time, the lights in the corridor were dim, and I couldn't see the girl's face clearly from a distance. I only knew she was very thin."
Shen Changan imagined Jiang Li's back. She was also very thin, but if Chen Zhijun could not prove that it was him who entered her room that night, then these evidences would be useless to him.
"Did the girl leave at night or in the morning?"
"At night, I fell asleep and I did hear some noises, but I didn't see anyone. I opened my eyes and looked at my watch. It was about five in the morning."
"After that person left, did anyone enter my room again?"
Shen Changan raised his voice, and Chen Zhijun was startled.
“No, no…”
"Chen Zhijun, you are lying!"
