Chapter 268 Found out about Luo Cheng

Li Zhan watched them look inside several times, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, so he looked up and said, "Come in."

The two men had no choice but to come in, first standing at attention and saluted, then shouted, "Report!"

Li Zhan asked, "What's the matter? Tell me."

The two of them pushed each other, signaling the other to speak.

Li Zhan sighed and said, "Wu Shao, you go ahead."

When Xia Juanjuan went to the camp to hold her wedding, Wu Shao once asked Xia Juanjuan if she had any younger sisters or cousins, hoping that his sister-in-law could introduce her to a beautiful daughter-in-law. But of course, this hope was ultimately dashed, and he is still single now.

After being called, Wu Shao could only sigh, then mustered up his courage and said, "Captain... Captain, I told you not to get angry. It's just... didn't you ask us to go to the black market during our vacation to ask if there were any jade sellers from the countryside before the New Year, and who the buyers were?"

Li Zhan was stunned for a moment, then he remembered.

It did happen. Three kids were taken away from home, and he had almost forgotten about it.

Of course...it's also possible that he subconsciously doesn't want to pursue the matter any further.

No matter what secrets Juanjuan hides, she is his daughter-in-law.

Since she refused to tell him, maybe she had other considerations. It was not fair of him to probe into it behind her back.

However, he had asked Wu Shao and the others to help investigate earlier, but now that the facts had been discovered, he didn't want to listen anymore and thought it was a bit too much, so he didn't say anything.

Seeing that Li Zhan didn't respond, Wu Shao had no choice but to continue talking, otherwise he would suffocate to death.

"Jiefang and I went to the black market to inquire for a few days. We found out that there was indeed a man from the countryside selling jade. The jade was bought by a local tyrant named Dahei. We checked Dahei and then..."

Wu Shao said this and looked up at Li Zhan.

Lizhan couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart.

Now the jade pendant is in Juanjuan's hands, but Wu Shao found out that it was bought by a ruffian who was born and raised in Beijing. This can only mean that there must be some connection between his wife and this guy called Dahei.

However, Juanjuan was only taken to Beijing by Bai Zihan to visit him once when he was injured the year before last, and she also stayed for a few days last year to visit relatives. How did she get to know the local black market boss in Beijing?

"Then what happened? Just keep talking..." Lizhan said with a frown.

Wu Shao scratched his head and said, "Just two days ago, we secretly followed Dahei and wanted to investigate more deeply. Then we saw him walking out of a courtyard house with a female comrade. That female comrade..."

As Wu Shao spoke, he couldn't help but touch the Jiefang next to him with his hand.

Jiefang also felt that it was a bit unfair to let Wu Shao say all the things, so he changed the subject and said, "Wu Shao and I both think... that female comrade is a bit like... like my sister-in-law."

After listening to this, Li Zhan's brows furrowed even more and he asked, "You said two days ago, how many days ago exactly? In the morning or in the afternoon?"

"It was about six days ago, no, seven days ago, around one or two in the afternoon."

Lizhan recalled in his mind that the time was wrong.

If it was seven days ago, that day was exactly the day when the three little kids in the family were taken away by those criminals.

If Juanjuan was in Beijing in the afternoon, no matter how fast she ran, it would be impossible for her to return to Qingshui Village in the afternoon.

Even though he and Bai Zihan drove the jeep in a hurry, it still took them four or five hours to get back.

Wu Shao and Jiefang saw that Li Zhan was silent but his expression was serious and they both felt a little regretful. They could just hold it in, why did they tell the captain about it? The captain and his wife loved each other so much, what if they quarreled again because of their talking too much?

"Well... Captain, it's possible that Jiefang and I recognized the wrong person. There are a lot of people in this world who look alike." Wu Shao said softly.

Jiefang also quickly said: "I also think it's unlikely. Captain, don't take it to heart."

Li Zhan only looked up at this time and asked, "Where is the address of the courtyard house you mentioned they came out of?"

Wu Shao and Jiefang looked at each other, regret in their eyes.

It’s over. It seems they have really touched a hornet’s nest this time…

After telling Li Zhan the address of the courtyard house, the two left worriedly.

Li Zhan held the paper with the address written on it in his hand, hesitating a little.

Should we stop here and not delve further? Or... should we go and take a look at that courtyard house?

After hesitating for a while, Lizhan decided to go over and take a look.

However, the courtyard was locked and no one was there.

But it was easy to ask around. Li Zhan pulled an old lady in the alley and pretended to ask for directions. Seeing that she was carrying the vegetables she had bought, he enthusiastically helped her carry the things. After a few words, he got the answer.

"This family's surname is Luo. The old man was originally qualified to live in the compound, but after living there for a few years, he retired due to age and returned to live in this house. The old man passed away two years ago, and the house was given to his son. However, his son and daughter-in-law work in Shanghai and do not live here. But the grandson is called Luo Cheng, and he comes back from time to time to stay for a day or two, to clean and repair the house and so on."

Lizhan walked the old lady to her doorstep, then thanked her and left.

Seeing that Lizhan was not only handsome but also kind-hearted, the old lady stood at the door for a long time without wanting to go in.

Alas... With such a good character, she should have asked him what his name was and what he did. Maybe he could become her son-in-law in the future?

Li Zhan naturally couldn't understand what the old lady was thinking. He was thinking about this matter as he walked.

The last name is Luo... He always felt that this last name sounded familiar.

I have never heard of the name Luocheng.

However, if the female comrade that Wu Shao and Jiefang were talking about was really Juanjuan, then how did she know someone like Luo Cheng?

A few days later, Lizhan still felt uneasy. It was a coincidence that he went to the courtyard again this time because he had just returned from Luocheng and Dahei was also talking to him at his house.

Lizhan had secretly checked Dahei over the past few days, so he recognized him at once.

However, he was still hesitating whether he should just go ahead and ask.

If the female comrade that day was not Juanjuan, it would have been very offensive for him to ask her.

However, Luo Cheng has been active in the gray area of ​​the black market for many years, and his vigilance is no less than Li Zhan's. Although Li Zhan has tried his best to be careful, Luo Cheng still found out his flaws.

Luo Cheng was not ambiguous and walked over directly to the door and asked directly: "Brother, what do you want to talk to us about?"

Li Zhan saw that the other party had asked the question before he asked it, so he nodded frankly and frowned, saying, "I have something I want to ask you."

Luo Cheng is about the same height as Lizhan, and looks quite handsome and energetic. Lizhan feels inexplicably unhappy.

She looks good, but definitely not as handsome as him.

There is no way his wife would not want him and fall in love with this guy!

Luo Cheng was stunned for a moment by Lizhan's honesty, but he remained calm.

Although this alley is quite quiet, it is not a place to talk after all, so he smiled and said, "I don't deserve your advice. However, this is not a place to talk. If you don't mind, come sit in my yard?"

Li Zhan nodded and said, "That's fine."

Luo Cheng couldn't help but twitch his lips. Isn't this too rude?

However, he was the one who made the invitation, so there was naturally no reason for him to take it back, otherwise it would seem as if he was afraid of the other party.

Seeing this, Dahei couldn't help but wink at Luocheng, asking if he wanted to ask someone to come over.

After all, the business they do cannot be made public.

The man in front of me is tall and strong, with a righteous look. I'm afraid he is a plainclothes policeman, right?

If that's the case, why did you, Brother Luo, bring him to your own yard? Isn't that walking into a trap?

Luo Cheng shook his head slightly, signaling Dahei to go first.

The reason why he has been in this line of work for so long is, on the one hand, that he is extremely courageous and willing to take risks; on the other hand, it is also because his identity has some protection, and ordinary people cannot easily touch him.

Seeing this, Dahei had no choice but to leave obediently.

Luo Cheng let Li Zhan into the yard.

The yard was well-maintained. It was spring, and tender green buds were sprouting on the grape vines in the yard, making the yard look full of life.

After Luo Cheng closed the gate, he turned around and looked at Li Zhan with scrutiny, waiting for him to speak.

Naturally, he also sensed the hostility from Li Zhan.

He said he was "inviting" people to come in and sit down. He's not stupid, so would he really pour out tea to entertain the guests?

Li Zhan was not vague either. He turned around and asked directly, "Do you know someone named Xia Juanjuan?"

Luo Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly, but quickly replied calmly: "I don't know him, I haven't heard of him."

He had done business with Xia Juanjuan so many times, even though Xia Juanjuan used the alias Dong Juan and had never proactively told him any information other than the alias and that she was married and had three children.

But Luo Cheng did find out something, even though he did it secretly, and he never let anything slip in front of Xia Juanjuan.

After all, Xia Juanjuan once said that if you want to do business with her, first you must not ask where her things come from, and second you must not inquire about her affairs.

He has violated the second rule.

But there was no other way. Xia Juanjuan was cautious. He would be more cautious than Xia Juanjuan in this line of work. Otherwise, he would have died countless times.

Lizhan stared at Luocheng with scrutiny, and then continued to ask: "About ten days ago, a lesbian left your house with your friend who just left. Who is that lesbian to you?"

This time, Luo Cheng's eyes narrowed dangerously.

About ten days ago? Should it be when Xia Juanjuan came to buy the courtyard house?

However, that is not the point.

Has this man in front of him set his eyes on this place and on him and Dahei ten days ago?

Or, just as Dahei expected, this man was a plainclothes police officer and the investigation was traced back to them.

Otherwise, what is the relationship between this person and Xia Juanjuan?

Or... they controlled Xia Juanjuan, and then followed the clues to trace them?

"About ten days ago? Hmm... I don't remember it. But... it should be my boyfriend. Otherwise, not just any woman can come into my house."

There was a distinct ruffian tone in Luo Cheng's words, and he spoke half-truthfully.
