Chapter 329 Give Her a Chance
Liao Hong told Lu Chen everything about the conversation at Lin Ya's house, especially Lin Ya's abnormal behavior when she talked about her "friend's brother".
She clearly remembered that when her brother, sister-in-law, Lu Chen and Xu Nuo talked about Lin Ya, they all clearly stated that her brother had passed away.
What is more worrying is that Xu Nuo once mentioned that Lu Chen wanted to pay tribute to Lin Ya's brother, but Lin Ya refused to reveal the location of the cemetery.
The experience of living with her brother and sister-in-law for a long time has enabled Liao Hong to develop keen observation skills.
She had a hunch that Lin Ya's sudden mention of "her friend's brother" was suspicious, and even made her make a bold guess - Lin Ya's brother might not be dead at all. Out of caution, she decided to inform Lu Chen of this discovery immediately.
"Captain Lu, I don't know whether this information is useful to you, but my intuition tells me that I should tell you," said Liao Hong.
On the other end of the phone, Lu Chen listened and immediately said, "It's very useful. This matter is very important. Liao Hong, please keep this matter confidential and don't mention it to anyone else."
Liao Hong asked in a low voice: "What about my brother? Can my brother know about this?"
Lu Chen looked up at Liao Qing and handed the phone to him.
"I heard everything." Liao Qing also warned, "Just pretend you don't know about this matter. Listen to your brother Lu Chen and don't mention it to anyone, including your sister-in-law."
"clear!"
Liao Hong put down the phone, paid the bill, and hurried off to buy things.
In the regiment office, Lu Chen frowned and looked at Liao Qing, with something on the tip of his tongue that he was hesitant to say.
"Old Lu, what do you think?" Liao Qing asked first.
Lu Chen hesitated for a moment, then slowly said: "I think what Liao Hong said is true."
"Do you have any evidence?"
"It's not really any evidence." Lu Chen looked at the scenery outside the window and recalled the feedback his old comrades had given him a few days ago.
He was somewhat confused at the time, and Liao Hong's phone call just now helped him to clear up his confusion.
"Tell me about it."
"A few days ago, my old comrades in the public security system helped me to find out about Jian Rui..."
They found out that Jian Rui was accompanying Lin Ya abroad.
Lin Ya said at the beginning that she was adopted by her uncle and aunt and studied medicine. When she grew up, she chose to return to China because she missed her motherland.
As it happened, the Exit and Entry Administration did not find any entry record of Jian Rui.
Therefore, Lu Chen thought that what Jian Rui brought back should be his ashes.
After that, he mentioned to Lin Ya more than once that he wanted to go see Jian Rui, but Lin Ya rejected him several times. She used her busy work as an excuse and suggested going during the Chinese New Year.
Lu Chen thought there was nothing wrong with what Lin Ya said. She was indeed busy with work, and he didn't have much free time.
Lin Ya wanted to accompany him to "meet" Jian Rui, and that was not a problem.
Therefore, Lu Chen temporarily put this matter on hold.
Because Liao Hong called him, she successfully aroused Lu Chen's suspicion.
If what Lin Ya said was about her own situation, it would explain the above questions.
Now that I think about it, the Exit and Entry Administration did not find any record of Jian Rui, which means that Jian Rui may have entered the country illegally.
Perhaps, he was threatened at the beginning, so he had no choice but to enter the country in that way.
Lu Chen realized a problem.
Lin Ya and Xia Nan knew each other, and when Xia Nan was arrested, he was with Lin Ya.
Lin Ya was taken away for investigation. Xia Nan insisted that Lin Ya was also a spy. In fact, the staff believed it at that time.
But later, Xia Nan suddenly turned her attention to Xu Nuo. It was this action that made everyone dispel their suspicion of Lin Ya.
If you connect Liao Hong's words with what happened before, Lu Chen would really break out in a cold sweat.
He couldn't believe that Lin Ya was actually a spy! !
Liao Qing's face was a little serious. If Lin Ya was a spy, she and Lu Chen were so close that Lu Chen would probably be affected. He might even face the risk of being investigated in the future.
The expressions of both of them became solemn at the same time.
"What are you going to do?" Liao Qing asked.
Lu Chen pursed his lips and said, "Didn't you hear what Liao Hong said? Lin Ya was also forced. Perhaps, she still has a conscience and hasn't done anything wrong."
"That's the best case scenario." Liao Qing sighed deeply, "Those foreign forces have infiltrated in just like that."
Lu Chen nodded slightly.
"So what are you going to do next?" Liao Qing was a little worried about Lu Chen.
Lin Ya's situation is rather special, and he doesn't know whether Lu Chen wants to sacrifice his own relatives for the sake of justice.
Lu Chen was silent for a moment, tapping the table lightly with his fingers, seeming to be thinking about something in his mind.
"Since she can say this to Liao Hong..." He raised his eyes, his voice low and cautious, "It means she is still struggling in her heart. I don't plan to mention this matter to the Public Security Bureau or the National Security Bureau for the time being..."
Liao Qing: “?”
Lu Chen weighed the options in his heart: "She is not able to move around easily now, so this is a good opportunity. I want Liao Hong to talk to her as much as possible. There are some things...she may not be able to say them directly to me, but maybe she can say them to Liao Hong."
Lin Ya's abnormal behavior today might be a test, or even a subconscious signal that she wants to be helped.
"Okay." Liao Qing nodded, indicating his agreement. "Then I'll tell Liao Hong a few words later, asking her to pay more attention to Lin Ya's condition."
"When the time is right, I will talk to her in person." Lu Chen said.
There are some difficulties that even Lin Ya herself may not dare to face. But since she has taken the first step, they can't let her shrink back.
Liao Qing slammed the table and said, "Then let's do as you say. We can't let the children of our predecessors be taken advantage of by bad people."
When you can lend a helping hand, you must lend a helping hand!
As dusk fell, Lu Chen dragged his tired feet back home.
When he opened the door, the silence that hit him made his breath stop - Xu Nuo had been gone for several days, the room was empty, even the air was stagnant.
He went to the cafeteria to get a meal, took a few bites without tasting the food, and then put down his chopsticks.
As soon as he got home, Lu Chen fell heavily into the sofa. He closed his eyes and began to miss Xu Nuo.
I wonder if this girl has been through a lot recently, and how she is doing...
As he was thinking, he felt sleepy and had a long dream.
In the middle of the night, I woke up suddenly, and the countless fragments of information and scattered clues in my brain suddenly connected into a line in my mind, and a clear context emerged.
Lu Chen seemed to understand why Xu Nuo had encountered the accident and why Lin Ya tried so hard to save Xu Nuo.
