Zhou Yuanyuan had set up a protective formation around General Zhou's building and courtyard. She didn't dare act too independently, so the spiritual energy inside the formation was only slightly greater than that outside. It was precisely because of this extra spiritual energy that the flowers and plants in General Zhou's house grew so beautifully.
Geng Liang was filled with excitement to be received by General Zhou.
Xu Zhiyuan felt heavy-hearted.
Xu Zhiyuan came to General Zhou's house today, not as a guest, but to work.
After receiving a call from Zhu Jun yesterday, Xu Zhiyuan realized that the direction of his investigation was wrong.
After a detailed investigation by Xu Zhiyuan and his team, they came to a conclusion: the ditch where Liu Meiling's body was found was not the crime scene of Liu Meiling's death, but the place where the body was dumped.
Liu Meiling is not a girl who would run around in pajamas. So, does it mean that the scene of Liu Meiling’s death was at home or near the Liu family’s home?
Following this clue, Xu Zhiyuan found out that Liu Meiling had made a phone call before she "ran away from home".
The address of this phone number was actually General Zhou’s home, and the call lasted more than three minutes.
Xu Zhiyuan learned that while Liu Meiling and Zhou Yuanyuan knew each other, they had little contact. Was Liu Meiling calling Zhou Yuanyuan to talk? Or was she talking to someone else in the Zhou family?
If Liu Meiling hadn't found someone to talk to, the phone call would have lasted no longer than half a minute. Three minutes was enough time to chat about a lot of topics. Xu Zhiyuan felt that the phone call before Liu Meiling's murder seemed to be the key to solving the case. Therefore, Xu Zhiyuan had gone through this difficult time.
Xu Zhiyuan was apprehensive when he arrived at General Zhou's doorstep, and for a moment, he felt like running away. What could a phone call mean? Xu Zhiyuan felt like he'd lost his mind, running to General Zhou's house in search of clues. Such behavior could easily be seen as a provocation by General Zhou. Regardless of whether Liu Meiling's case was related to the Zhou family, the moment he brought Geng Liang here, he had already offended General Zhou.
Just when Xu Zhiyuan wanted to pull Geng Liang away, Ouyang Xin appeared.
Before Xu Zhiyuan could say anything, Geng Liang excitedly told her that he and Zhou Yuanyuan knew each other.
In this way, Xu Zhiyuan and Geng Liang had the opportunity to sit in the living room of General Zhou's house.
While sitting in the living room waiting for General Zhou to arrive, Xu Zhiyuan reviewed the words he was going to say several times in his mind, trying his best not to cause General Zhou to object.
When General Zhou walked into the living room, he saw Xu Zhiyuan with a sad face and Geng Liang with an excited face.
"Hello, General Zhou!"
"Hello, General Zhou!"
Xu Zhiyuan and Geng Liang stood up at the same time and greeted General Zhou.
"Chief Xu and Geng, right? Please sit down." General Zhou pointed to the sofa behind Xu Zhiyuan and the others with a friendly face.
"General, you're too polite! I'm Xu Zhiyuan from the Shilitun Branch. You can just call me Xu!" Xu Zhiyuan took a few steps forward, introduced himself, bent slightly, and stretched out his hands to shake hands with General Zhou.
"General Zhou, I'm Geng Liang, Xu Ke's subordinate. I'm very happy to meet you." Geng Liang followed behind Xu Zhiyuan. After Xu Zhiyuan and General Zhou shook hands, Geng Liang quickly wiped his sweaty palms on his clothes before extending his hand to shake hands with General Zhou.
Seeing Geng Liang like this, General Zhou's smile deepened. Geng Liang reminded General Zhou of the passionate sons and daughters who fought for China's freedom decades ago.
"Geng Liang, right? I've heard Yuanyuan talk about you. You're brave and courageous, and a promising young man!" General Zhou looked at Geng Liang with eyes full of kindness.
During the vampire extermination at Renhe Hospital, Geng Liang, a common man, bravely rushed to the front lines out of concern for Zhou Yuanyuan's safety. This incident demonstrates Geng Liang's good character, which is one of the reasons General Zhou wanted to meet him today. As for Xu Zhiyuan, he was just a sideline presence.
Geng Liang held General Zhou's hand and listened to General Zhou's praise. He felt as if he was floating in the clouds.
"Liang~." Seeing that Geng Liang was holding General Zhou's hand tightly, Xu Zhiyuan quickly touched Geng Liang's leg with his leg and reminded him softly.
"Ah~? I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so happy. I didn't expect Zhou Yuanyuan to have mentioned me to you, General. Hahaha..." Geng Liang came back to his senses and quickly let go of General Zhou's hand, his mouth grinning almost to his ears.
"Yuanyuan also told the old man that Comrade Geng is her friend. By the way, Yuanyuan will be here soon." Seeing this, General Zhou's smile deepened.
Geng Liang's simplicity and honesty were very much to General Zhou's liking.
"Hehehe..." Geng Liang grinned, then realized that he seemed a little unserious, and embarrassedly stretched out a hand to scratch the back of his head.
General Zhou is really approachable! Geng Liang thought.
Xu Zhiyuan looked at the silly Geng Liang with envy.
This is probably what it means when fools have good fortune!
In Xu Zhiyuan's impression, Geng Liang is a person who is stubborn and not very sweet-mouthed, but he is indeed very serious and responsible at work.
I didn't expect Geng Liang to have such a good opportunity. With such a reputation in front of a big man like General Zhou, it is conceivable that as long as Geng Liang sticks to his original intention, his future achievements will definitely be unstoppable.
"Xu, Geng, sit down, let's talk." General Zhou politely declined again and sat down in the main seat.
"Geng Liang, long time no see." At this time, Zhou Yuanyuan also walked into the living room.
"Zhou Yuanyuan, hehehe...long time no see." Geng Liang's mind was still echoing with General Zhou's praise of him. At this moment, apart from smiling foolishly, he couldn't think of how to greet Zhou Yuanyuan for a moment.
When Xu Zhiyuan saw Zhou Yuanyuan appear in front of them on her own initiative, his eyes lit up.
Xu Zhiyuan intuitively believed that the phone call Liu Meiling made before leaving home was to Zhou Yuanyuan. He was just worrying about how to bring the topic to Zhou Yuanyuan when she showed up.
"Sister Yuanyuan, actually Liang and I came here today to find out something about Liu Meiling." When Xu Zhiyuan asked this question, his eyes were fixed on Zhou Yuanyuan, as if he wanted to discover something from Zhou Yuanyuan's expression.
"Liu Meiling? My Jiaguai is not familiar with her." General Zhou couldn't help but frowned when he heard Liu Meiling's name.
In the past few days, Liu Jingye's actions because of Liu Meiling's death have made General Zhou feel unhappy. Therefore, when General Zhou heard Liu Meiling's name from Xu Zhiyuan's mouth at this time, he felt a little annoyed.
