Chapter 10 Their Greed (VIII) Mission
Han Jianye did not reject Ye Bai's suggestion on the spot, but said that he would discuss it with his leader.
Ye Bai returned to the dormitory at night and began to pack his suitcase because Mai Shaozhen sent him a message saying that he had found a community with a house for rent that was very close to the police station, and asked him when he would be free to go and take a look.
Ye Bai has two suitcases, one of which is placed in the office, and contains three sets of spare clothes, which he can take with him when he goes on business trips in case of emergency.
The other clothes are still folded in the suitcase in the dormitory and have not been taken out. I only take them out when I need to change them, thinking that it will be convenient to move out when the time comes and I don’t have to pack them again.
Ye Bai had already taken a shower in advance. He was very tired from working overtime recently and had already gone to bed to rest.
At this moment, he heard the sound of the dormitory door twisting. He knew who had returned, so he immediately closed his eyes and avoided a head-on contact between the two.
As soon as Han Jianye came in, he saw Ye Bai sleeping. Every time he came back, Ye Bai always went to bed early with his back to him. Even the most dull-witted person could sense that his behavior was very deliberate.
(ω)Afraid of him?
( )Hate him?
(′0`) Want to avoid him?
Han Jianye thought about it while opening the closet and taking out some clothes to change into. Suddenly, he noticed that Ye Bai had very few daily necessities and his wardrobe was not in use, and then he looked at the suitcase he had moved.
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle or a wolf. After a little thought, he instantly understood what it meant and confirmed his previous thoughts.
He smiled jokingly and thought to himself: It seems necessary to talk to someone from the Political Department tomorrow.
The next day at noon, after Ye Bai finished his work, he took the time to find Mao Xiaoqian, who was in charge of dormitory management, and told her that he wanted to move out of the dormitory.
Mao Xiaoqian, who had been beaten beforehand, had a calm expression on her face, "Comrade Ye Bai, I know what you are talking about."
"Okay, I'm just letting you know." Ye Bai agreed politely.
"But Comrade Ye Bai, have you really thought it through? Double-room dormitories are very popular. Dormitories are tight right now. Other colleagues are sleeping in bunk beds in a 4-person room. Because you were suddenly seconded here, there happened to be a bed in a double-room. You've got it, but others can't even get it if they want it."
"I……"
"Xiao Liu will arrange a double room for you. It will be quiet when you go back to the dormitory to sleep. Comrade Ye Bai, this is great."
( ′. ` )…
Ye Bai wanted to say that he lived near the police station and it wouldn't cause any trouble.
Seeing that Ye Bai didn't say anything, Mao Xiaoqian said, "Comrade Ye Bai, have you really thought it through?"
"Yes, I think..."
"Oh, my cell phone is ringing. I have to be busy now. We can talk about this another day." Mao Xiaoqian said, then turned around and left with a smile, as if with some kind of determination, leaving Ye Bai standing there looking at her back with a confused look on his face.
When he returned to his workstation, he heard unexpected news.
His proposal was passed yesterday. Considering that they had all appeared in Lianhu Village before, they planned to choose two unfamiliar faces to carry out this mission.
Su Wan volunteered, "Count me in. I didn't go to Lianhu Village the last time I visited it."
He is the best at selling things. The last time he was on a mission, he made hundreds of dollars a day by selling starch sausages. The business was so good that he even forgot he was still on a mission.
In the afternoon, Su Wan brought back a small amount of bed sheets and pillowcases from wholesale. They had already agreed with the wholesaler that they could take back the unsold ones for a refund.
He and another female investigator dressed up as a couple and went to the village to set up a stall. They happened to meet a couple who came to the countryside to sell clothes, so they set up their stalls side by side, and the flow of people suddenly increased.
Han Jianye and others were in a white van not far away, watching every move outside with keen eyes.
Ye Bai adjusted his glasses and inadvertently met Han Jianye's eyes. The two of them tacitly remained silent and then turned their attention back to the computer screen.
In the moment when Ye Bai didn't notice, the corners of Han Jianye's mouth quietly rose, revealing a barely perceptible smile.
The most confused person at the scene was Su Wan. The news of the activity of exchanging old bed sheets for new ones only required an additional payment of 10 yuan spread quickly in the village, and many people lined up in front of his stall holding their old bed sheets.
Su Wan realized that if they continued like this, the sheets they brought would be sold out before they could find the style of sheets to wrap the deceased.
Then he began to become extremely picky:
"Auntie, you're not going to change this bed sheet when it's so torn!"
"Oh, these sheets are smelly, and you still want to change them? I won't do it even if you give me 100 yuan."
"Auntie, these sheets look like they haven't been washed for 800 years. If you want to change them, they need to be at least 70% to 80% new."
"Uncle, you've been using this felt for 50 years, and there's so much grease on it, I won't accept it."
At this moment, Su Wan's sharp eyes caught a glimpse of a little girl. The bed sheet she was holding was very similar to the one on the deceased. His heartbeat accelerated.
He immediately walked up and asked with a smile: "Little girl, your sheets are really nice, can I take a look?"
The little girl held 10 yuan in her hand. When she saw Su Wan coming, she showed an expression of joy and anticipation on her face: "My mother asked me to change it. She said that this was originally a 4-piece set, but someone stole a sheet at the door of my house. I wonder if I can change it?"
"Of course you can change it, you can definitely change it."
Su Wan responded while unfolding the bed sheet in the girl's hand to check.
To his surprise, the girl only had two pillowcases and a quilt cover in her hand, and the bed sheet was missing from the set of four. He was almost certain that the missing sheet should be the bed sheet on the mattress, the one wrapped around the deceased.
At the same time, Han Jianye and others in the car were also very excited. They didn't expect that this plan could really bring clues.
Han Jianye turned his gaze to Ye Bai who was looking at the computer, and found that his eyes were deep and clear, and also revealed joy.
This reminded him of what Ye Bai had mentioned before, that the bed sheets could be used as a breakthrough in the case. He had denied it at the time and turned the clues in other directions.
Su Wan changed the little girl into a brand new four-piece suit. Seeing her running home happily, Qi Xiaolei immediately got out of the car and followed her.
They need to first determine where the little girl's home is, and then go to her house to inquire about the situation in detail.
