The bottle was opened, and a rich aroma wafted out.
The team member couldn't help but take a deep breath and exclaimed, "This fragrance is so wonderful, I can never get enough of it!"
Curious, Lü Qi poured himself a small glass of wine and then gulped it down.
Then he gasped and couldn't help but curse, "Damn, this stuff is so spicy, what's so good about it?"
The team members laughed heartily, "Deputy Platoon Leader Lü, you've never tasted strong liquor before, you have to savor it slowly."
Lu Qi was about to say something, but as soon as he looked up, he saw a figure.
Upon seeing that person, Lü Qi's pupils contracted, and he abruptly stood up.
He shouted, "Reporting to the leader, nothing has happened at the lakeside camp today."
Upon hearing this, the team member was startled. He hurriedly stood up, forced a smile, turned around to face the direction of the person who had come from, and stood there nervously.
Jiang Wu took Li Qingxuan's hand and walked to Lü Qi's side. He glanced at the Moutai, various canned goods, and peanuts next to him and laughed, "You guys are eating quite well. Have you forgotten that it's duty time now?"
Lu Qi quickly said, "Chief, we're just having a small drink; we certainly won't get drunk."
The team member quickly replied, "Leader, the wine and food were brought by me, and have nothing to do with Squad Leader Lü."
Everyone knows that the Special Operations Platoon doesn't have a platoon leader now; the highest-ranking member is Deputy Platoon Leader Lü Qi.
Moreover, Lü Qi was determined to become a platoon leader and was usually very righteous, so the team member subconsciously took the blame upon himself.
I don't want to affect Sergeant Lü's standing in the leader's eyes.
Jiang Wu said nonchalantly, "A little drink won't hurt, just don't get drunk. Lü Qi, I'm giving you a task now. Take some people and go investigate something in secret."
Lu Qi was instantly excited, stood up straight, saluted, and said, "Yes! No matter what the mission, I will go through fire and water without hesitation!"
Jiang Wu said to Li Qingxuan, "Qingxuan, you should talk to Squad Leader Lü Qi about this. He is the squad leader and deputy platoon leader of the special operations platoon. He can be described as bold and meticulous in his work."
Li Qingxuan nodded and said earnestly, "Squad Leader Lü, my mother..."
After Jiang Wu and Li Qingxuan left.
Lu Qi murmured, "Isn't Lady Qingxuan's mother the leader's mother-in-law? Am I helping the leader find the murderer who killed his mother-in-law?"
The team member said earnestly, "Deputy Platoon Leader Lü, if you handle this matter well, I think the position of platoon leader of the special operations platoon is rightfully yours!"
Lu Qi gasped, then suddenly slapped his thigh hard, exclaiming excitedly, "Damn it, another windfall! Come on! I'll take you to do something amazing!"
The team member was overjoyed and laughed loudly, "Thank you, Platoon Leader Lü! Should we go and call a few more brothers?"
Lu Qi thought for a moment and said, "Take 10 brothers from the combat platoon and ask around the camp if anyone went to work at the Liu family with you. Remember, don't mention Miss Qingxuan. After all, family scandals shouldn't be aired in public. Although the leader didn't ask, we have to consider the leader's feelings."
"yes!"
......
With the intervention of Lü Qi and others, clues were quickly found.
Some of the people who came to the recruitment point had worked as temporary workers for the Liu family at that time.
Some people even remember that Li Qingxuan's deceased mother was forcibly brought into the inner courtyard by several servants of the Liu family.
They didn't do it secretly; they openly dragged Li Qingxuan's mother inside.
Even Li Qingxuan's mother's desperate cries were to no avail.
No one would stand up for her and offend the Liu family, the fifth largest power in the base.
Not long after, Lü Qi found Jiang Wu and reported the situation.
After reporting, Lü Qi cautiously asked, "Chief, what arrangements do you think should be made for the next steps?"
Jiang Wu said calmly, "Investigate further, get to the bottom of it. If necessary, you can directly tell the head of the Liu family that this is my mother-in-law's matter."
Upon hearing the words "mother-in-law," Lü Qi immediately understood and saluted, saying, "Yes! I will definitely find out the whole story for you as soon as possible!"
Jiang Wu nodded.
After Lü Qi left, Jiang Wu patted Li Qingxuan's head affectionately and comforted her, "It's alright, I'll avenge your mother soon."
Li Qingxuan bit her lower lip and hesitated, saying, "Brother Wu, if it's related to the Liu family's higher-ups, let's talk about it later. We just need to know the reason first. We can't completely antagonize the Liu family because of my matter. Besides, our base has more important things to do. Recapturing the county town is the key right now."
After a pause, Li Qingxuan looked at Jiang Wu with tears in her eyes and said emotionally, "Brother Wu, I originally thought that my mother's revenge could never be avenged. Now, it's just a little delayed, and I'm already very satisfied. I've waited two months, so it's really okay to be a little late."
Jiang Wu thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Let's see the investigation results and the Liu family's response."
Li Qingxuan nodded obediently.
On the other side.
Lu Qi returned to the investigators' temporary camp.
Upon seeing Lü Qi return, one of them hurriedly asked, "Brother Lü, what did the leader say?"
Lu Qi said with a serious expression, "The leader himself admitted that this is his mother-in-law's business. So, brothers, this time we'll go directly to the Liu family. Didn't someone say that one of them is named Liu Liang? Let's go directly to him, without saying why yet."
The group exchanged bewildered glances, each seeing the shock and excitement in the other's eyes.
If the leader himself said it was his mother-in-law, then this matter has already become a major issue for the entire Flower Valley base.
If we, the people in this group, were to handle this matter and succeed, wouldn't we gain a great deal of prestige?
The statistics department will probably give us a lot of work points!
Lu Qi thought for a moment and said seriously, "Are you guys scared? I'll take you straight to the Liu family's headquarters! If something happens, I can run away, but you might not be able to."
The group exchanged glances and shouted all at once, "Don't be afraid!"
"What are you afraid of! If they dare to fight back, I might die, but the Liu family will be buried with me!"
"Haha! That's right, it's worth dying for if I can help the leader!"
"If it weren't for the leader saving me, I would have died long ago. If the leader is in trouble, I'm not afraid even if there are mountains of knives and seas of fire ahead!"
