Jian Ling sighed inwardly. People outside only knew that Jiang Qiao had escaped, but who knew that Jiang Qiao was really on the verge of death? She was just a hair's breadth away from being gone.
So, the enemy's move was really ruthless. They made Jiang Qiao disappear and put her on such a huge scapegoat. Fortunately, Jiang Qiao did not get what they wanted.
Dong Kaizhen reminded him from the side, "The higher-ups probably already know you've come."
Gu Zhengkai smiled and said, "We haven't done anything shameful. If you know, you know. Everyone, pack your things. Who's coming with us?"
Jian Ling was the first to sign up. Dong Kaizhen wanted to go, but Jian Ling stopped her.
"Don't go. If you go, we'll have to rely on you to communicate things later. It won't look good for anyone. You should stay."
The others wanted to go too, but Hou Diankui told them to stay behind, saying, "We're not in the right just because we have more people. We don't need so many people. Jianling and I will go with Zhengkai and his two sons. You guys wait at home."
The news of Gu Zhengkai and his team's arrival was known not only to the investigation team but also to Cobra, as they had also received the information.
Cobra knew that Gu Zhengkai and his group were coming. The special envoy had already confirmed that Jiang Qiao was dead, so even if Gu Zhengkai came, it wouldn't make a difference. Who knew Jiang Qiao was gone?
They've all sunk into the reservoir, where are we supposed to find them? As long as Jiang Qiao doesn't show up, the Gu family can forget about having any good days.
Thinking of Gu Zhengkai's purpose in coming, Cobra's lips curled into a disdainful sneer. He didn't even look at what Jiang Qiao had done wrong—murder, and the murderer was one of their own. How could he possibly convince the other party with words?
The cobra was in a good mood, grooming his beard, touching his face, humming a little tune, and standing in front of the mirror, happily dressing himself up.
After getting ready, he stood in front of the mirror and admired his new look.
Now, I guess most people who saw him before wouldn't recognize him anymore.
After getting dressed, Xu Shaoqing put on his glasses, picked up his bag containing his lunchbox, and went out.
Potato, who was wandering around nearby, bumped into Xu Shaoqing, but he didn't recognize the person in front of him as the one they were looking for.
After wandering around the area for half a day without finding anything, Potato had to meet up with the others. It was too cold, so they all huddled together and decided to go back first.
“Let’s go back first, and then we can reconsider and see if we should designate an area. We’re a bit lost right now. We’ve already been to the morgue and the nearby recycling stations, but we haven’t found anyone like that.”
After the kids got back, they found out that Gu Zhengkai and his group had come, and that they had already gone out to run errands.
"Ah, if we had known this would happen, we would have just stayed home and waited. Jiang Qiao's matter is the most important thing."
Dong Kaizhen shook her head. "They won't let us go. They said it's no use having too many people. You all should eat quickly and warm up. We'll talk about it when they get back. Did you not get anything this morning?"
Potato and the others shook their heads. "No, Aunt Dong, do you think that bad guy isn't in the city?"
Even Dong Kaizhen herself couldn't say for sure. "If it were that easy to find, we wouldn't have needed to go through all that trouble. Don't go out this afternoon. Let's wait until your Uncle Gu meets up with the two of you, and then we'll discuss it further."
Your Aunt Jian might have some ideas; let's wait until she gets back before discussing it further.
What the children really wanted to know was whether the person they brought home last night would be of any use.
"Aunt Dong, you said that the bad guy has been caught, does that mean my sister Jiang Qiao was wronged?"
Dong Kaizhen put her arm around the child's shoulder and said, "Not yet. If you want your sister Jiang Qiao to get away with it, we have to catch the person who framed her."
If we really catch the cobra, perhaps none of this will be a problem.
However, it's too early to talk about this now; that person is not as simple as we think.
Remember all of that. Safety first. If you make any discoveries, remember to ask for help. Don't rush in alone. Let's go eat—"
"Aunt Dong, do you think those people will make things difficult for Uncle and the others?"
It's hard to say for sure about Dong Kaizhen; she wasn't even granted permission to see him, let alone Gu Zhengkai and the others.
"Well, I can't say for sure, but in principle, it shouldn't be the case."
When Gu Zhengkai arrived, the people there had indeed received the news.
The people who greeted them weren't exactly enthusiastic, but they were passable on the surface, considering Jiang Qiao's current status as a murder suspect.
What was especially infuriating was what they said: "We are also looking for Jiang Qiao. As her family members, you should cooperate with our work. If you see Jiang Qiao, advise her to turn herself in as soon as possible. Hiding like this will not help."
Upon hearing this, Jian Ling objected, her face darkening. "Comrade, what you're saying is incorrect. What do you mean by 'turning oneself in'?"
I'm asking you, Jiang Qiao was taken away by your people, right? If something happened to her on the way, you can just pin the blame on Jiang Qiao?
Don't talk to me about evidence. Nobody's stupid. Those two injured comrades are unconscious. Do you think Jiang Qiao can escape unscathed?
Don't tell me Jiang Qiao did this. You all know in your hearts what she's good for. Why would she leave such a huge loophole at the scene?
She could have run away any way she wanted, right? Why did she have to give each of those two a knife? Ask around, does Jiang Qiao need a knife to kill someone?
Besides, if she really wanted to kill, would she have let these two people live? Isn't that a joke?
I ask you, have you ever considered that perhaps this was done by the enemy, trying to frame Jiang Qiao, and that Jiang Qiao might now be in the enemy's hands?
Instead of trying to understand the case and rescue your comrades, you're following the enemy's line of thinking. I'm baffled. What are you investigating? What have you found out?
What serious crime did Jiang Qiao commit? Did she need to run away? She's pregnant, where could she run to?
We came here and this is all you say? That's incredibly irresponsible. You took the person away, and now that something's happened, you think you're in the right? Can you even resolve this? If you can't, get your superiors here. This isn't how you do things.
"Who is Jiang Qiao? Let's put aside what she did before, and just look at what's happening now. On what grounds do you want her arrested? Have those two people been confirmed to be Jiang Qiao's doing?"
Jian Ling's barrage of questions left the comrade who was receiving them speechless.
Actually, the other person had the same thoughts as Jian Ling, but the problem was, his boss asked him to host the reception, so could he refuse?
They had no choice but to bite the bullet and try to figure out if Gu Zhengkai and his group would have some reservations, or at least not question them so openly.
Now look what's happened! We've run into a hothead like Jian Ling. She doesn't care about giving you face at all; she's here to demand an explanation for Jiang Qiao.
