During the days when Tan Yi was away from Anhai, he went to all the places where Deputy Mayor Shen Moyan had worked, and conducted in-depth investigations into the political affairs he had presided over in those years, as well as the various interpersonal relationships that arose from them.

Shen Moyan had a good reputation as an official, and was considered upright and incorruptible, so it was natural that he had offended a small number of people.

Most of these people were active in the political and business circles, with glamorous appearances and great power in their hands. It was almost impossible to expect to dig out the inside story by going on a business trip.

All Tan Yi could do was to record the names, resumes, and social relationships of these people.

In the future, he would conduct in-depth investigations to verify whether they were likely to be involved in organized crime - if so, what kind of organized crime it was, and whether it was related to the Shen Yi case; if not, would they hire killers through other means to retaliate against Shen Moyan.

All of this was kept strictly confidential. Only Tan Yi and his direct superiors knew the details. After all, the matter involved a wide range of people, and the identities of the people involved were special. Once it was leaked, it would definitely cause an uproar. As

for An Hai, Tan Yi took advantage of his position and investigated him soon after he arrived at the Municipal Bureau.

As far as we can see now, this criminal gang acted meticulously and hid very deeply. If it is confirmed that they are the same gang members as in the kidnapping case, then the power of the mastermind behind the scenes is probably also quite huge.

Ren Yaguang stroked his short hair, "The murderer is hiding too deeply, don't we have any other way?"

Xie Qing said, "Generally speaking, such a gang will not remain silent for too long. I think, on the one hand, we should make horizontal contacts with other regions and summarize similar unsolved cases. On the other hand, we should wait for the other party to make a mistake. If we are right, they will not let Captain Tan off. Captain Tan, you have to be careful."

This is her thinking about the Shen Yi case. Although it is the New Year, she also said it frankly.

Tan Yi smiled and nodded, "Very good, everyone has used their brains."

He took out a cigarette box from his pocket, asked Xie Qing's opinion as usual, and after getting permission, he and Ren Yaguang each smoked one.

He said, "I agree with Xiao Xie. We should pay attention to unsolved cases in various places where the identities of the victims are sensitive. After the New Year, I will report to the bureau, and the bureau will apply to the provincial department to try to collect as many cases as possible in this regard. Then we will analyze them in a unified manner."

Although he already has a considerable amount of information, it is a private investigation and it is difficult to bring it to the table.

Now that the cases have been merged, he can get more information from various channels in an open and aboveboard manner.

The three of them diverged on the historical plan and talked until the sound of firecrackers on the first day of the new year rang, then they went back to their dormitories, took a shower, packed up, and got off work on time.

...

Back in Wolong Community, Xie Qing parked the car outside the gate. Just as he was about to enter the door, he saw Xie Xun walking out from inside in sportswear.

Xie Qing said hello, "Dad, I'm back."

"Hey." Xie Xun smiled, "You can tell you haven't slept all night, your eye bags are dark, go to bed."

Xie Qing said, "I'm not too sleepy, let me walk with you."

Xie Xun hesitated for a moment, "Okay, we haven't seen each other for a long time, it's good to chat."

The sun hadn't risen yet, but the sky was already bright, and the cirrus clouds piled up on the sea level, which was particularly spectacular.

The father and daughter jogged along the path to the seaside, out of the community, onto the coastal highway, around a sea view pavilion and back, it was about three kilometers.

When they were about to enter the community, Xie Xun changed from running to walking and chatted with Xie Qing.

He said, "I've found the house you want. There's a nice villa in Zuilongwan, two floors above ground and one floor underground, with a total area of ​​158 square meters, which meets your requirements. It's 1,680 per square meter, less than 270,000. Everything else is good, except that the place is not regular enough, the yard is odd-shaped, and the area is not big enough. Go and have a look when you're free. If you like it, buy it. If you don't like it, forget it."

It turned out to be Zuilongwan.

Tan Yi lived there, and Xie Yun would go there too, but Xie Qing refused - although Tan Yi had no interest in Xie Yun, he was the second male lead after all, and she didn't want to be involved in life.

However, Zuilongwan is a sea view house and a high-end community in Anhai.

The house can't be sold, not because of poor quality, but because the price is too high - more than 1,600 per square meter, it is definitely not affordable for ordinary people.

If Xie Xun has done research, it must be the most cost-effective and have the greatest room for future appreciation, otherwise Xie Yun, as the heroine, would not buy it.

Xie Qing thought for a while, "Dad is also planning to buy in Zuilongwan?"

Xie Xun said, "There is a discount for buying two sets. Dad has his eyes on a jump floor and plans to buy the top floor."

"Hmm..." Xie Qing responded with an ambiguous tone, and then thought, who cares who lives there, everyone is busy with their own things, and they don't have to interact with each other forever, isn't it enough? Why should she give up the sea view room and the house that suits her preferences for someone who has nothing to do with her?

Xie Xun thought she was undecided, "Don't you guys live in Zuilongwan? You can go there on the fifth day of the New Year and see how things are going." Xie Qing

made up her mind, "Okay, if you like it, I'll trouble Dad to help me arrange it."

Xie Xun said, "Okay, I heard from Yunyun that the two clothes you designed have started to sell. The momentum is good. I estimate that the commission will be enough to buy a house and decorate it."

Xie Qing was delighted, "That's great. When Dad hires someone to do the renovation, he can fix the hardware. I'll take my time with the software."

Xie Xun didn't understand, "What do you mean by hardware?"

Xie Qing said, "Hardware refers to the decorations that are difficult to change, such as the floor and walls. Software refers to furniture, lights, and various decorations."

Xie Xun smiled and said, "This word is interesting."

...

The father and daughter strolled home. Chen Yuehua and her son and daughter were still asleep. Xie Qing found some leftovers in the kitchen and cooked half a pack of noodles. After the grandfather and daughter finished eating, they went back to their rooms.

Xie Qing spent the first day of the New Year in her sleep. She

went to Chen's house on the second day of the New Year.

I don't know if someone did something wrong or if she didn't want to cause trouble during the New Year, but Mrs. Chen smiled at Xie Qing, and the atmosphere was harmonious until they said goodbye and went home.

Back home, Xie Qing went upstairs to pee and returned to her room. Just as she was about to lie down, Xie Chen knocked on the door and came in.

He sat down on the chair in front of the desk, "Qingqing, are you free?"

Xie Qing asked, "Of course, do you want to talk about that piece of land?"

Xie Chen raised his thumb, "Yes, I came to you to discuss this matter."

"My memory is just a little better." Xie Qing smiled, "You came to discuss with me because our father doesn't agree?"

Xie Chen said, "My dad said that the land won't be developed in a short time, and it's not worth wasting money there, so he won't let me buy it."

Xie Qing took out a bag of spiced melon seeds from her bag and put it on the table. "What do you think?"

Xie Chen grabbed a handful. "I want to buy it, but I'm really worried that it won't be developed. You know, I just have more pocket money than you, and the funds I can use are very limited."

That's true. The money of the eldest son of the Xie family is actually Xie Xun's money. If Xie Xun doesn't agree, he can't buy this land.

Xie Qing said decisively, "If big brother wants to do it, I can get 900,000."

Xie Chen was so scared that the melon seeds in his hand fell out, "Where did you get so much money!?"

Xie Qing smiled mysteriously, "Guess?"

Xie Chen's mind was not slow, "You went to trade stocks?"

Xie Qing also gave him a thumbs up, "After all, he is my big brother, his IQ is high."

"Hahaha..." Xie Chen laughed, "You little girl, you are making fun of me."

"Brother, Qingqing." The door opened and Xie Yun poked his head in. "What are you guys talking about? You look so happy."

Xie Chen said, "Yunyun, who do you think is smarter, me or Qingqing?"

Xie Yun glanced at Xie Qing quickly. "You are both smarter than me."

Xie Chen smiled and shook his head. "Yunyun is too modest. You opened a dance studio first and then a clothing company. Qingqing and I are not as good as you."

This is true, but it is also true that Xie Chen and Xie Qing are good at studying and both have entered famous brands.

Xie Yun has been learning dance since childhood and is quite talented in art, but he is not very interested in learning and does not like to talk about who is smarter.

She smiled awkwardly, "We are both our parents' children, and we are not stupid. You guys chat, I will go back to my room to practice basic skills."

Xie Yun did not close the door when she left, and she also left her room door open when she returned.

Xie Chen frowned, and did not continue to talk about buying land. After a few words of idle chat, he went back to his room.

Xie Qing did not understand why at first, but after thinking about it, she understood.

Xie Yun can snatch her, and of course he can also snatch him. Although they are siblings, as the eldest brother, no one wants to be suppressed by his younger sister.

The next two days are very interesting.

Xie Yun is on guard everywhere, but will not take the initiative to provoke Xie Qing.

Xie Qing is on guard against Chen Yuehua everywhere, and takes the initiative to retreat.

With everyone's joint efforts, this year passed very peacefully.

At nine o'clock in the morning on the fifth day of the New Year, the three brothers and sisters of the Xie family went to Zuilong Bay to meet Tan Yi.

As soon as the car stopped, Tan Yi came out of the villa to greet them.

Xie Chen joked, "Captain Tan, are you going out?"

Tan Yi nodded, "I forgot to buy coriander, Lao Chai is inside, you go in first, I'll go to the vegetable market."

Xie Qing took the initiative to ask for permission, "Captain Tan, I'll go buy it, my brother's car is not turned off yet." Zuilong Bay is not close to the market, if you want to hurry, you have to drive.

She is Tan Yi's subordinate, so it is reasonable for her to make a trip.

Tan Yi hesitated for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, Gu Ling's Audi arrived.

He had no choice but to say, "Okay, go ahead, be careful on the road."

Xie Chen sat in the driver's seat, "Qingqing and I will go together, Captain Tan is busy."

Xie Yun said, "I'll go to the kitchen to help."

...

The two brothers drove to the nearest market.

Xie Chen said, "The total price of the land is 1.2 million. If Qingqing can pay 900,000, we don't need to get Dad's approval."

Xie Qing nodded, "You buy it, you can't lose it."

900,000 in this era is not a small number.

Xie Qing dared to lend it to Xie Chen, which meant that she trusted him immensely.

Xie Chen said solemnly: "I've thought about it. The nature of your job doesn't allow you to invest. This money is just a loan from me. I'll give you an IOU first, but don't worry, I won't treat you unfairly."

Xie Qing smiled and said: "No need for an IOU. I can just give you a few more houses when the time comes."
