Lu Anning had been to the laboratory building only a few times, let alone had a conflict with Mr. Li.
She shook her head: "That shouldn't be the reason."
If there is no contradiction, there is only one possibility.
"I have a general idea of this matter. Leave it to me. It's getting late, so go to bed first. I'll tell you the result once I have it."
Tang Jingyuan knew what was going on, and the topic ended there.
Lu An Ning roughly guessed the truth, but he was not sure who the person who could be with Bai Lu was, so he had to suppress this matter for the time being.
Since it concerned Lu Anning's safety, Tang Jingyuan considered it carefully and decided to go there in person.
In the mixed urban village, Tang Jingyuan looked out of place standing at the entrance of a muddy alley in his high-end custom-made suit. The air was filled with the stench of garbage and fish, which became stronger under the fermentation of rain and suitable temperature.
A tall, thin, shirtless man rode past him on a bicycle, and a cigarette butt was flicked into a smelly ditch with black and green bubbles coming out of it.
He frowned and looked at the road ahead, feeling a little unsure where to start.
Lin Tao looked around and pointed to the dark little house at the deepest part of the alley.
"Mr. Li and his son live in that house. Third Master, I can handle this kind of place. There's no need for you to go there in person."
"It concerns her safety, so we can't be careless."
Tang Jingyuan strode forward. Back then, most of the conditions he encountered in the army were even worse than this, so what was happening now was nothing to him.
There were a lot of tied-up waste cardboard boxes piled up at the door of the one-story bungalow. Although the house was dilapidated, the things were neatly arranged.
Lin Tao walked up and knocked on the door, and there was a quick response from inside the house.
"Who is it?"
After a while, the door creaked open and a wrinkled head poked out. Seeing two unfamiliar faces, Uncle Li immediately became alert.
He had seen many distinguished people in the laboratory building, and the two before him were clearly distinguishable individuals. Especially the tall young man behind him, who was obviously not a good person, gave Uncle Li a bad feeling.
At this moment, a cough was heard from inside the house: "Dad, is it the neighbor?"
Uncle Li replied absentmindedly, "I'm from the same unit. Eat quickly and stop asking so many questions."
As he spoke, he squeezed out from the crack of the door and closed it behind him.
He rubbed his hands and forced a smile: "Who are you looking for?"
"Uncle Li, we have something we want to talk to you about. Is it convenient for you?"
"My two nobles, as you can see, my son needs my care. If you have anything to say, please say it here! He will be worried if you go too far."
Before Lin Tao could reply, Tang Jingyuan behind him spoke directly.
"Who asked you to move the elevator in the laboratory building a few days ago?"
When Uncle Li heard this, his heart sank.
His eyes darted around, not daring to look at Tang Jingyuan. "What lab building elevator? I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just an honest cleaner, and I don't understand all your nonsense. I don't know!"
Tang Jingyuan glanced at Lin Tao, and Lin Tao took out a screenshot from his pocket and placed it in front of Uncle Li.
"Uncle Li, we wouldn't come looking for you without evidence. We know it's not easy for you, but your actions could kill people. Didn't that person tell you this when he asked you to do this?"
When Mr. Li heard that it was a matter of life and death, he immediately panicked.
"Is this true? Don't lie to me! That person only said he wanted to scare the people in the elevator, but he didn't say anyone would die!"
Seeing that Tang Jingyuan didn't answer, Uncle Li burst into tears on the spot.
"Is that girl okay? I really don't know. That man gave me 10,000 yuan to scare the girl in the elevator. He promised me nothing would happen. My dear friends, my son is in poor health and needs a lot of money. I can't help him. I did it all myself. It has nothing to do with my son. Please don't bother him."
Uncle Li was a miserable man, and he started crying as he spoke.
The meager salary could not support their daily expenses, and he could only make a living by selling scrap. Suddenly, ten thousand yuan appeared. He had never seen so much cash in his life. How could he not be tempted?
Tang Jingyuan had never thought of making things difficult for an old man. Seeing the old man crying, he sighed softly.
"Do you remember what that person looked like? Or, what were his characteristics?"
Uncle Li was stunned, carefully recalling the scene at that time, and then shook his head.
"He was dressed in all black, with a baseball cap on, and even his eyes were hidden by sunglasses. I couldn't recognize him."
Tang Jingyuan frowned. If he couldn't recognize her, that would be troublesome.
Lin Tao asked again: "Think about it carefully, doesn't he have any other characteristics? Tall, short, fat, thin!"
After a while, Uncle Li finally remembered the most important thing.
"He's half a head shorter than you. He has a long scar on the base of his right hand. As for the rest of him, I really don't know."
The man was extremely vigilant and even paid in cash. He also chose to do it in a small alley with no surveillance. Even if they wanted to investigate, they had no way to start.
Kyoto is so big, asking them to look for a man with a scar on the palm of his right hand is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
After chatting for a long time, the person in the room came out trembling, his eyes full of worry.
Although he was at his strongest age, his body was skinny and lifeless.
Tang Jingyuan did not make things difficult for the other party. When leaving, he asked Lin Tao to leave some cash. He only told the child that he was a leader from Uncle Li's unit and came to visit specially.
When he left, the old man knelt at the door with tears in his eyes and kowtowed, saying sorry repeatedly.
After getting in the car, Tang Jingyuan asked, "In this situation, can we get help from a charity foundation?"
Lin Tao immediately understood what Tang Jingyuan meant: "Third Master, I will do it."
However, there are still many families in this situation, and no matter how much they want to help, how much can they do?
The clues stopped here, and there was no way to investigate further. Tang Jingyuan could only strengthen his vigilance in normal times. Perhaps the other party would appear again.
