Seeing Mo Yuan's surprised expression, Li Jianguo was somewhat puzzled.
But he still answered his question honestly.
"Bai Dashan, the two bandits you captured confessed that the one who escaped was their leader. He was responsible for contacting Mo Youkun. If we could just get him in charge, the problem would be solved. However, it seems difficult now. He's probably already escaped! In this vast sea of people, catching a fugitive who is willing to hide is like finding a needle in a haystack!"
Li Jianguo sighed as he answered Mo Yuan's question.
Just then, the waiter brought the food, and Li Jianguo, who was already starving, didn't stand on ceremony.
Ignoring Mo Yuan's dazed expression, he began to eat heartily, having not had a good night's sleep or a full meal in the past few days.
The food in this state-run canteen was quite palatable, and Li Jianguo quickly began eating.
Mo Yuan's mind was in turmoil. Could things really be such a coincidence?
Mo Yuan didn't recognize the Bai Dashan that Li Jianguo mentioned, but he had heard of the name in his previous life!
At that time, we relied on reports from their county's television station and some rumors circulating among the people.
The Bai Dashan criminal gang was extremely rampant, but it was later busted by Mo Youkun and his men.
Furthermore, the news report stated that before the arrest, the criminals had engaged in infighting, with some key members dying in the shootout and being buried in one place. Bai Dashan was among them.
It was Mo Youkun's efficient work that led him to find the location of the body, and he was even promoted for his meritorious service!
He later became the head of the county's public security bureau, but rumors circulated that Mo Youkun had long been colluding with Bai Dashan's criminal gang.
It wasn't an internal conflict or a bloody fight among these people; it was just that Mo Youkun and Bai Dashan had a disagreement over some issues, and Bai Dashan knew too much about Mo Youkun's dirty secrets, which is why he was eliminated.
Although it was just a rumor, it was told in great detail, and at the time Mo Yuan just listened to it as a story.
However, considering the current situation, it seems that Mo Youkun and Bai Dashan have been colluding for quite some time.
They were essentially exploiting each other; Mo Youkun provided protection, and Bai Dashan helped Mo Youkun do shady things.
Based on the situation in later generations, Mo Yuan now estimates that Bai Dashan may not have fled to other places at all, and is probably in grave danger!
But I need to think about how to tell Li Jianguo about this. I can't exactly tell him that I was reborn and can predict the future.
You calculated it, right?
"Um, Brother Li, I didn't know Bai Dashan before, but that day when Lin Xue and I were trapped in the cave, they seemed confident of victory and didn't care about us at all. We saw a fourth person outside the cave. I don't know who it was, but the voice sounded like Mo Yougan. Of course, that can't be taken as evidence. What I mean is, I heard them mention some place, saying that they would meet at the usual place after the deed was done, and that Bai Dashan and the others would take the money and run away. Do you think it's possible that Bai Dashan might go to see Mo Yougan before escaping, take the money, and then run away?"
There's a lot of truth and falsehood involved, and Mo Yuan dared not say for sure. Otherwise, given Li Jianguo's professionalism and keen intuition, he would probably spot the flaws.
It can also guide you little by little.
Sure enough, Li Jianguo became interested upon hearing this. "The information you're talking about is very important. Why didn't you mention it that day?"
"I... I've forgotten what happened that day!"
Mo Yuan quickly changed the subject, "Brother Li, is this news useful to you?"
“It will definitely be useful. Although it’s too early to draw conclusions, the information you provided is very important. If they’ve met before, or if something happened afterward, they’ll definitely be able to find clues at the scene. The only question is, where is their meeting place?”
Li Jianguo fell into deep thought again, his signature move being a furrowed brow as he pondered!
"Um, I overheard a bit of it, but I'm not sure. How about I take you guys to look for it? I can't guarantee anything, and it would be great if we could just make things worse, at least I could get revenge for myself!"
Hearing him say that, Li Jianguo could understand. "Let's try anything, even if it's a dead end. We can't give up on any clues easily now. It's always good to try. You don't need to make any promises. If you dare to make any promises, then I'll start to doubt you! Who can say for sure about this except the parties involved? I'll go and get some people. Let's drive to the place you mentioned!"
Mo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, he'd gotten away with it. He wondered if this was the place where Mo Youkun was buried in Bai Dashan in later years.
I just hope God will protect me and not play such a cruel joke on me!
Let's end this as soon as possible. Mo Yuan has had enough of this mess with them. These people, instead of confronting us directly, always resort to underhanded tactics.
Unexpectedly, just as he was walking out the door, Li Jianguo suddenly turned around and asked Mo Yuan a question out of the blue.
"That night, how did you escape while you were tied up? I saw the rope; it was cut. You're quite the expert! To escape while tied up, you must have been prepared beforehand. Only a seasoned veteran could pull that off. You're so young, who taught you that?!"
Mo Yuan was taken aback by Li Jianguo's sudden questioning, and beads of sweat immediately dripped down his forehead!
How do you put it? You say you learned it from an old man in your later life?
"Well, there used to be a guy in our village who worked at the docks. He had no children. We used to play at his place a lot when we were kids, and I did some chores for him a few times. He taught me. It's a pity he passed away a couple of years ago. Otherwise, I would have taken you, Brother Li, to see him! His self-defense skills are nothing to brag about! Hehe."
"Oh, no children, no one to testify, you kid, so there's no way to verify the truth, right? But I was just asking casually, look how scared you are. As long as you don't have bad intentions and use it for bad things, I won't interfere! You seem like a nice person, I really hope to be friends with you, don't make things difficult for me!"
Mo Yuan quickly waved his hand, "Don't worry, Brother Li, I'm a law-abiding citizen, a really good person!"
Soon Li Jianguo brought Mo Yuan to the bureau, called a few people, and the group drove off in a jeep!
Following Mo Yuan's directions, we arrived at a place a few miles from the Qingshan Township Police Station.
This place is outside the boundaries of Qingshan Township; it's a very remote area.
Normally, no one comes here, so Mo Yuan naturally couldn't just take them directly to their destination.
Having only received a general area, the group began their search.
However, clues were soon discovered.
Xiao Chen rushed over to report, "Team Leader Li, come and take a look. We found a patch of blood that had been buried on the ground. Judging by the color, it's very fresh!"
