Nanxing was taken aback, then a smile appeared on her face: "There's such a good thing?"
Li Kongyuan leaned forward a few centimeters, not missing a single change in his expression: "Did her death have anything to do with you?"
Nanxing scoffed, "I just got my marriage certificate with my wife, it's not worth wasting my time going after this lunatic."
Li Kongyuan remained calm, but his gaze seemed to see right through him: "Xin Minmin had a conflict with you three days ago, and given your existing grudges, you have ample motive to commit the crime!"
Just as Nan Xing was about to speak, a man in his thirties standing behind Li Kongyuan suddenly stepped forward: "Director Li, why are you being so polite to him? We'll just search him directly!"
Nanxing's expression suddenly turned cold: "Did you bring the search warrant?"
The man was about to speak when Li Kongyuan gestured to stop him, saying, "Sorry, he's new here and doesn't know the rules."
In fact, he did not think Nanxing was the murderer. The perpetrator of this case was skilled and cruel, and destroyed the scene cleanly without leaving a trace. This was something that ordinary people could not do!
However, the Xin family wielded considerable power, and the fact that something seemingly beyond human control had alarmed many influential figures.
Nanxing and his companion had indeed just had a conflict with Xin Minmin; otherwise, it would have been impossible for them to conduct a safe on-site investigation.
He paused for a moment and then said, "This case has had very serious consequences. I hope you and Banxia will answer the following questions truthfully."
He winked at Zhou Wen, who then whispered for Banxia to sit next to Nanxing.
Li Kongyuan: "Where were you and your husband between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. on January 9th?"
Nanxing: "Of course we're sleeping in the middle of the night."
Banxia hugged Nanxing's arm and nodded in agreement.
Li Kongyuan: "Do you have any evidence?"
Nanxing: "Who sleeps with someone watching them?"
Banxia continued to nod silently.
...
After asking his questions, Li Kongyuan shook hands with Nanxing and said, "Thank you for your cooperation. We may visit again in the future, so please keep your phone accessible."
Nanxing smiled gently: "Okay, but I hope the people you bring next time will be more friendly. My husband and I can't stand being scared."
As soon as the group left, Su Yao from next door slipped over: "Those people just now looked like they were from a government department. What did they want with you? Is Xin Minmin up to her tricks again?"
Nanxing smiled helplessly: "No, Xin Minmin is dead, and they suspect I did it."
"Damn it!" Su Yao yelled. "Are these people crazy? What does Xin Minmin's death have to do with you? What bad luck, she's dead and she still has to disgust others!"
These words were a bit harsh, but he was truly disgusted by what Xin Minmin's family had done!
Nanxing patted his shoulder: "Don't worry, I'm not so easily bullied. It's cold outside, you should go home."
Li Kongyuan came again in the afternoon, this time with a search warrant and three subordinates with police dogs.
When Li Kongyuan and Nanxing looked at each other, a hint of embarrassment unconsciously appeared in their eyes.
Nanxing, holding Banxia's hand, pretended not to see anything: "Since the procedure is legal, I won't make things difficult for you. Search as you like, but be careful not to mess up my things."
Li Kongyuan touched his nose and waved for his men to lead the police dogs to search the house.
He glanced around and saw that his subordinates had all gone upstairs to search. He whispered to Nanxing, "What's going on between you and Xin Chong? I think he's deliberately targeting you."
Logically, they hadn't found any evidence of Nanxing's crimes, so a search warrant couldn't have been obtained. But then Xin Chong made a call to the police chief.
Nanxing sneered: "He wanted me to reconcile with Xin Minmin, but I didn't give him face."
When Xin Chong had his secretary hint that he should drop the charges against Xin Minmin, he not only refused to do so, but also hired the best legal team in the country, managing to get Xin Minmin sentenced to ten years in prison. This really offended the Xin family.
This was partly the reason he transferred his assets abroad in the first place. Fortunately, he transferred his assets abroad in advance, otherwise, no matter how careful he was, his large-scale stockpiling in China would have exposed his true colors.
Li Kongyuan's men, accompanied by police dogs, searched the area thoroughly three times, but found no evidence before taking their leave.
Banxia frowned as she watched the group leave. If they continued to bother her and Nanxing, she would get impatient!
Xin Chong?
How about we pull off another heist?
It's just a matter of one shot!
Nanxing stroked his wife's slightly frizzy hair: "Do you know where Xin Chong lives?"
Banxia thought about it carefully. She had met Xin Chong in S City in her previous life, but she really didn't know where he lived in A City.
Nanxing couldn't help but chuckle and kissed his wife's puffed-up cheek: "It's not convenient for us to inquire about Xin Chong right now, lest we arouse suspicion. Let's discuss this further once things have calmed down."
He wasn't unaware of the importance of nipping danger in the bud; it was just that the national machinery was still running smoothly, and they could only wait patiently for the right opportunity. He believed that the opportunity was drawing ever closer.
Banxia didn't dwell on it much; if she could kill someone once, she could kill them twice.
*
On January 11th, the global temperature reached minus 45 degrees Celsius, and water, electricity, and gas were completely paralyzed in 90% of the world, officially marking the beginning of extreme cold.
All large supermarkets in Rabbit Country have been taken over by the government. Basic survival supplies such as rice, flour, grain, oil, water, salt, sugar, charcoal, cotton, and gas cylinders are now subject to purchase restrictions and can only be purchased with an ID card or household registration book.
In addition, apart from large hospitals and some important government departments, all work and school have been suspended, and many people are frantically shouting online that the end of the world is coming.
Some ambitious thugs committed arson, murder, robbery, and other heinous crimes, causing widespread chaos and disorder in various places.
However, Banxia considered these people's behavior to be simply stupid. As everyone knows, China prohibits robbery, and the control over knives is extremely strict.
Can petty thugs really fight against a well-equipped regular army with just a kitchen knife from home?
Is this like turning on the toilet light—a death wish?
Even after the government completely loses control over the people in the future, only a minority of people will possess weapons other than kitchen knives and fruit knives.
As for firearms, Banxia had almost never seen them in the hands of ordinary people.
There are three very real problems at hand: First, ordinary people can't find access to firearms; second, even if they do get them, they might not know how to use them; and third, ammunition is no longer being produced, so once the bullets are used up, the guns are just decorations and not cost-effective!
Therefore, those who are forming cliques now will never amount to anything. The truly intelligent people are still secretly accumulating power, waiting for the day when social order completely collapses.
Banxia, Su Yao, Han Biao, and Cai Yuan's families were well-prepared. They had diesel generators for electricity, fireplaces and heated brick beds for heating, large water towers and bottled mineral water for water, and enough food to last for ten years. They were not in immediate danger of survival.
Banxia pulled Nanxing back into the house to continue the great task of boiling water.
This time, the water being boiled isn't for bathing, but for drinking: brown sugar and ginger water, red date and longan tea, ginger and jujube tea, ginseng tea, astragalus tea, plain water, etc. Five large pots of each are being boiled so that they can be used directly when needed.
Although her days were busy, she felt a sense of fulfillment, which gave rise to a lot of lofty ambitions, as if natural disasters and the apocalypse were not worth mentioning at all.
