Chapter 184: Tracking 2
The military police stayed at Yimin University for half a day and questioned almost all the teachers. Their statements were almost identical to Lianyi's. They all felt that it was Li Wenliang's improper conduct that implicated teacher Pan Wenbin.
Because of the big statue of Wu Lao, the gendarmerie couldn't go too far, so they finally left Yimin University.
After Lianyi returned to the office, she talked with other teachers. The questions asked to everyone were similar. Only Lianyi, because she had met Pan Wenbin at the wonton stall, spent the longest time in the meeting room and was asked the most questions.
“Why do they ask so many questions?”
"You just want to extend your hand to the school. Otherwise, why would you cause trouble for us one after another?"
Teacher Sun said, and then glanced at Lianyi.
"Teacher Sun, you don't have to hint at them. I actually know why the military police came to the school."
Lianyi said directly.
"Why?"
Everyone's attention was focused on Lianyi, including Teacher Sun.
"After leaving school, Pan Wenbin seemed to have gone to seek revenge on Li Wenliang. He died, as did Li Wenliang and his adjutant. I guess they couldn't find the murderer, and the dead were military personnel, so they found out about us. Fortunately, Pan Wenbin has been fired.
I was more unlucky. Pan Wenbin came to the school before he died. I met him at the wonton stall and talked to him for a few words. Then they insisted that Pan Wenbin gave me something. As for what it was, they themselves couldn't explain clearly, so they kept asking me over and over again.
I was tired of asking them so I just went straight to the point and told them that if they had evidence or could get what they wanted from me, they could go ahead and search. Don’t think we don’t have a backer.”
"Oh! You have such a powerful mouth, aren't you afraid that they will really catch you?"
Teacher Sun curled his lips.
"The military police have plenty of reasons to want to arrest people. Since they are still asking polite questions now, it proves that they dare not do it. So why should I swallow my anger? It will only make me look guilty, so I will just say it directly."
Ripple waved her hand and explained.
"It seems that those who have returned from studying abroad are not the same. At least they are braver than us. I am almost scared to death."
Teacher Sun patted his chest and said sarcastically.
"What are you afraid of? I don't believe that there is no justice. If they want to interfere in the school's affairs, they must have a good reason. Otherwise, Mr. Wu will go to President Shi for tea."
The office was still discussing today's military police interrogation, while the military police captain asked in a low voice:
"Mr. John Lee, we went to Yimin University today and asked everyone, but we didn't get much. You see..."
"No, it's not that we didn't get anything at all. Teacher Wu Lianyi is very suspicious. It's just too much of a coincidence. She was also too calm. She even dared to challenge your military police."
The man called John Lee is a Chinese from M country and speaks fluent Chinese.
After hearing this, the captain of the military police rubbed his nose in embarrassment, and then said:
“Teacher Wu was almost put in the prison cell of our military police before, but it was Elder Wu who came forward to save him.
But she was indeed unlucky. She was pursued by a scoundrel. She rejected him, but he still showed his affection to her. But later he died and the murderer was never found. We just saw that woman was pretty, hehe!"
After hearing this, John Lee frowned. No wonder that woman was so tough. She had been wronged once before and thought they were using the same trick again, so she reacted so strongly.
"Show me the information of the person who died."
"Ah? Oh! Okay! Wait a moment, Mr. Johnley."
The gendarmerie captain immediately went to the archives to retrieve the information.
Lianyi finished her classes for the day and went to the staff bathroom to take a shower as usual. Then she started preparing for class. After finishing all these, she took out a notebook and read it for a while. When the time came, she turned off the lights and rested.
Lianyi didn't feel sleepy at all after lying down. She was recalling the mixed-race man she met today, who had a cloisonné ruby tie clip on his suit tie.
Although Lianyi glanced at it casually, she was very sure that she was not mistaken. This ruby tie clip, the ruby pendant on Hu Qian and the strangling brooch found on Pan Wenbin were from the same series, or in other words, they were made by the same old craftsman.
Now she was very sure that there was definitely a connection between these three people, but she didn't know whether this thing was a token of contact or if there was something else going on.
She didn't dare keep the things she found with her, so she hid them in the secret safe house that Hu Qian had prepared for him before his death. These were things that Lianyi had found from her original body's memory.
The room was right in the downtown area, and Hu Qian paid five years' rent for it at one time. Generally, Hu Qian would not go there unless there was something important. The room was used to store valuables and some important information.
Hu Qian would only hide here when his life was in danger. This was also a common self-protection method used by intelligence dealers like them who had three burrows.
Now that Hu Qian is dead and this place has not been discovered, Lianyi has taken advantage of it. Previously, she also used Hu Qian's channels to pass on the news that the underground party's encirclement and suppression plan was for sale.
Now that she had released the news in the intelligence market for so long, she wanted to go and take a look, but the mixed-race man she met today made her sound the alarm. The other party was very perceptive and seemed to have doubts about her.
“What a hassle.”
Lianyi turned over, closed her eyes and fell asleep.
After the final exams at school were over and before the winter break, Lianyi could feel that someone was watching her. She wanted to shoot and kill those people who were following her, but unfortunately she couldn't do that because then she would be completely exposed.
Before the students left school, Lianyi finally found an opportunity to go to where the intelligence dealers gathered, an M-style bar.
Lianyi dressed herself up as the one on the gendarmerie's wanted poster, put on the cheongsam with a red background and white peony, pinned the ruby brooch on her chest, tied her hair up high and put a sandalwood carved hairpin in it, then left the hiding place prepared by Hu Qian.
Pushing open the door of the bar, in the dim light, the intelligence dealers gathered in twos and threes, talking in low voices. Only the five lights above the bar illuminated the small space.
Lianyi walked over, placed her black handbag on the bar, and ordered a glass of wine in a very familiar manner.
Her appearance has attracted everyone's attention. The more perceptive ones have already vaguely realized that Lian Yi is related to the three previous murders in Anping Lane, so no one came forward to chat with her for a while.
As luck would have it, John Lee also came here today. The first thing he saw was the red figure sitting in front of the bar. Then he frowned and walked over with big strides.
