According to the minister, Xie An is going to be in trouble this time.

"The investigation team has been investigating for a long time and found that the list does not match, so they asked Xie An to cooperate with the investigation. It's already this time, and if he speaks out, he can at least get a lenient treatment. But I don't know what's wrong with Xie An this time. How can such an honest person refuse to speak up? I don't know why he wants to protect the smuggler. If he continues like this, he will probably be removed from the Death Department..."

Xie An has been working with them for so many years, and he can be said to be a very good subordinate who works diligently and diligently.

The minister naturally doesn't want Xie An to get into trouble, but it's useless for the investigation team or him to go there, and the investigation is still in a stalemate.

The minister called Lu Xu to see Xie An. On the one hand, he hoped that the matter would be resolved quickly, and on the other hand, he wanted to protect Xie An.

"I've already said hello to the investigation team. If you're not busy now, come over and try to persuade Xie An. He's been with you for so many years, maybe he can listen to you."

"Okay." Lu Xu was actually quite surprised by Xie An's performance this time, and always felt that there must be something hidden in it.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Xu planned to go to the investigation team to see if things might turn around.

After all his roommates went to bed, Lu Xu found the investigation team at the address given by the minister.

There is a time difference between the underworld and the earth, and the early morning is when public officials go to work.

The office of the investigation team is not far from Huangquan Road. When the receptionist heard the noise at the door, she muttered without raising her head, "Who is it? What are you doing here so early?"

Lu Xu said calmly and steadily, "Hello, I'm here to visit. Minister Ren should have greeted you before."

"Ah?" The receptionist felt that the voice sounded familiar. She looked up and recognized that it was Lu Xu. She was so excited that she almost jumped up from her chair, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh, Lord Lu Xu! I'm your fan!"

"Oh? Thank you for liking it." Lu Xu didn't expect that the investigation team had their own fans. He smiled very gently, "So, can I go visit my colleague?"

"Wait a minute!" The receptionist immediately glanced at the notebook, found the recommendation letter from Minister Ren, and nodded hurriedly, "Minister Ren did tell me, sorry I didn't expect you to come at first..."

The receptionist simply explained to Lu Xu, and then called the detention team: "Yeah, the person is here, but has he gone in? Okay, thank you for your hard work."

After hanging up the phone, the receptionist smiled brightly at Lu Xu: "I've already talked to them, you can go in directly."

"Thank you." Lu Xu politely nodded to the staff and said thank you, then strode in.

In the visiting room, Lu Xu looked at the heavily guarded facilities around him and couldn't help but worry about Xie An.

"Brother Xu!"

When the person came out of the detention room, Lu Xu almost didn't recognize him for a moment.

You know, Xie An used to have a thin face, and his work suit looked empty when he stood on it.

After being brought in for investigation for a few days, his face was rosy and shiny, and he was noticeably fatter.

Seeing Xie An like this, Lu Xu really couldn't say "Brother, you've suffered in there."

He looked at Xie An for a long time before saying, "It seems that the food in there is not bad?"

"Huh?" Xie An didn't expect that Lu Xu didn't blame or care for him at first sight, but asked about the food treatment of the investigation team. He didn't have any ulterior motives, so he said honestly, "Yes, the incense and offerings that were distributed were all high-quality, much better than those in my store."

In order to create a civilized and harmonious investigation atmosphere, the management of the detention room has been considered very humane.

Not only does lynching not exist, but the food standards are also visibly high.

Even so, Xie An is in a good mood to enjoy the incense while he is locked up. I don't know whether to say that he is careless or has a good attitude.

"I heard from the minister that you are unwilling to cooperate with the investigation?"

Seeing Xie An's hesitation, Lu Xu couldn't help but sneer: "Okay, Xie An, I always thought you were reliable, but I didn't expect you to learn to protect stowaways?"

"Not stowaways!" Xie An hurriedly explained after hearing Lu Xu's position.

"Oh? If not stowaways, then what?"

"..."

Xie An didn't know what he was thinking, and his expression was obviously hesitant.

"Xie An, I'm asking you. If he's not a stowaway, then who is he, and why have you been willing to protect him for so long?"

Lu Xu is usually a sunny boy with a bright smile and looks very approachable. But Xie An knows that he is already on the verge of danger.

Lu Xu is different from others. He is the kind of person who will investigate on his own and never ask you again if you don't tell him after asking him once.

Xie An is not a fool, and he knows that Lu Xu cares about him.

He can hide many things from others, but he has never thought of hiding anything from Lu Xu.

This time the incident was so serious that he estimated that someone would be punished, but no matter what that person said, he still wanted to help if he could.

There were many eyes staring at him in the visiting room, and if he said it directly, others would definitely know.

Xie An didn't show it on his face, but suddenly asked Lu Xu: "I haven't

seen Eighth Sister for a long time, how is her small warehouse?" Lu Xu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then nodded gently: "Very good, you should take care of yourself first. It's best to cooperate with the investigation and get things cleared up as soon as possible, otherwise the result will be really troublesome."

The two of them talked for a few words, and Xie An's visiting time was over.

The investigation team originally thought that Lu Xu came to see what kind of breakthrough, but in the end they didn't find any valuable clues.

"Brother Xu, I..." Before being taken away, Xie An couldn't help but look back at Lu Xu, as if he had a thousand words to say.

"Okay, you stay in there and eat your incense, cooperate with the investigation and try to get lenient treatment." Lu Xu said as if nothing had happened, and pursed his lips, "Eighth sister is doing well with me, the small warehouse is always full."

Only after hearing him say this, Xie An seemed to be temporarily relieved.

He nodded to Lu Xu, and then returned to the detention room.

When Lu Xu came out, the door of the investigation team's office happened to be opened from the inside, and the sound of footsteps was heard inside -

"Don't worry, we will never tolerate such things as harboring illegal immigrants, and we will definitely give everyone a satisfactory explanation."

"That's great, it seems like this kind of person is really a scum of our Death God Division. This incident has caused such a big stir, the Death God Divisions everywhere are keeping an eye on us, wanting to see how the organization will deal with it..." Lu Xu knew the person who was speaking, Peng Hanfei from the Southwest Death God Division.

Thinking of what the minister said about being reported, Lu Xu stood in the middle of the corridor with his arms clasped around his chest, waiting for them to come over.

Peng Hanfei originally wanted to come over to "assist" in the investigation, thinking that dealing with Xie An as soon as possible would also be considered maintaining discipline within the department. As he was talking, he looked up and saw Lu Xu standing in the corridor looking over here, with a half-smile on his face and scrutiny in his eyes.

After being looked at like this by him, Peng Hanfei subconsciously took a step back. After coming to his senses, he secretly regretted it. It was nothing, but he retreated like he was guilty.

Even if he reported it, so what? The mistake was in their east. He just found a loophole.

Thinking of this, Peng Hanfei straightened his chest unconsciously, stared at Lu Xu with wide eyes, as if he was secretly competing with himself.

However, Lu Xu didn't take him seriously, just glanced at him casually, and then said hello to the investigation team.

"Hey, isn't this our Death Star Lu Xu?" It's no secret that Lu Xu is participating in the talent show, because he has so many fans that you can see his show everywhere, whether in the underworld or in the world. "Minister Ren has told me, you can persuade him if you can, but there's nothing you can do if you can't. Anyway, we are all doing things according to the law, and we must give everyone an explanation..."

It seems that the southwest has come here to supervise, and it seems that it would be unreasonable if Xie An is not severely punished this time.

"Xie An's case has not been investigated clearly, and the current evidence alone cannot prove anything." Lu Xu still had a smile on his face, but his tone was not soft at all. No matter how confused Xie An is, he said it's okay, but others can't. If he lets them accuse him, Xie An doesn't know what will happen to him.

Peng Hanfei didn't expect Lu Xu to be so tough. It was obviously his colleague's fault, but he gave people the feeling that he wanted to protect him.

"The illegal immigrant has been found. Is there anything else to say?"

"Tsk tsk, I thought it was someone else. Isn't this a colleague from the Southwest Death God Department? You should still be at work at this time. You ran here at this time. No wonder there are so many achievements waiting for me in the Southwest."

Lu Xu's words were smart, which made Peng Hanfei a little unsure of what to say.

It is said that data is the most intuitive and the most explanatory evidence. Let

's not talk about anything else. Lu Xu just went to the Southwest Death God area to participate in the talent show, and the achievements are like free.

Although it was not pleasant to say, there was nothing wrong with what Lu Xu said.

Not maintaining the performance of his own department and letting other groups take over clearly showed that his work attitude was not correct. He was quite shameless to come out and hang around like this.

Lu Xu did not say anything sarcastic, but this attitude already made Peng Hanfei feel embarrassed.

Lu Xu was not interested in his mood or reaction, he just nodded to the head of the investigation team to show his attitude, and then left calmly.

On the way back, Lu Xu first went out to take two orders, and then did not rush back to the apartment, but returned to their work base, the End of Life Service Station.

Although Xie An did not explain it clearly, Lu Xu got what he meant.

The so-called Eighth Sister's small warehouse refers to Eighth Sister's secret negative place.

As a little cat that can eat, Eighth Sister has a very clear understanding of her stomach capacity. In order to ensure sufficient food supply, Eighth Sister sometimes hides things herself. As long as it likes, basically everything is put in it.

Canned food, snacks, chicken strips, and even favorite small toys will be taken into the small warehouse and hidden.

He and Xie An also discovered this small space by chance. At that time, Xie An joked: "Eighth Sister found this place really well. If we have any important documents and information in the future, can we also borrow Eighth Sister's warehouse to use it?"

Lu Xu still remembered what Xie An said before, and now he mentioned it again, which clearly showed that there was a problem.

When Lu Xu returned to the service station and walked to the back to move Ba Mei's food bowl, he saw that in the hole behind the wall, besides Ba Mei's snacks, there was indeed a yellowed file bag. Lu

Xu picked up the file bag and saw the date written on it in pen -

February 28, 1970.
