However, for those who are attentive, they will notice it at the first moment.

For example, Gu Baoshan.

He had been keeping an eye on Lian Qizhen's movements, but on the second day he found that Lian Qizhen was not in the health room or dormitory. During lunch, he pretended to walk up to Assistant Mo.

"Xiao Mo, why don't I see Engineer Lian? Is he still not well?"

Xiao Mo smiled and said, "Accountant Gu, Engineer Lian is not feeling well. The doctor told him to rest, so he went to the county hospital last night."

Gu Baoshan looked surprised, "Is it serious again?"

Mo Xiaoxiao shook her head. "I'm not sure about this. I only found out when I went to the infirmary this morning. Accountant Gu, if you want to know more, I'll go to the infirmary again later."

Gu Baoshan smiled and said, "Don't bother you, I'll go over and ask when I have time."

After the two separated, Mo Xiaoxiao quickly left the cafeteria with the bowl of rice. She looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to her, so she patted her chest guiltily.

Director Wang called her over early in the morning and explained everything to her. She was wondering why Director Wang did this. As Director Wang expected, Accountant Gu found her and asked the same questions.

Mo Xiaoxiao had just graduated from university. Although she was young, she was not stupid. She vaguely felt that this matter was related to the disappearance of Engineer Zhu.

Over the past month, she had noticed that Engineer Lian was troubled. She had heard rumors that Engineer Lian liked Engineer Zhu, and she thought that Engineer Lian was worried about Engineer Zhu, which was why he was so depressed.

Now it seems that it is not what she thought.

Mo Xiaoxiao didn't dare to delay and took her lunch box to Director Wang to report the situation. Director Wang praised her a few words, asked her to keep it up, and gave her some more instructions before letting her leave.

Wu Dongping was also here with Director Wang. After Mo Xiaoxiao left, he said, "For now, we can only see what Baoshan will do next."

Director Wang said angrily, "I never thought it would be these two people. Zhu Weidong usually takes good care of Gu Baoshan, and Lian Qizhen is an old friend of his family."

"Director Wang, you need to stay calm. There are no witnesses now. I also bombed Lian Qizhen last night. Now what we have to do is wait for Gu Baoshan to lose his composure. We are not afraid of him making a move, but we are afraid of him not moving."

Director Wang nodded repeatedly, but still had some doubts in his mind. "Officer Wu, how did you find out that there was something wrong with them?"

Wu Dongping smiled but said nothing. "Professional sensitivity, plus the fact that Lian Qizhen's reaction was not right when we were taking the statement that day, and the fact that there are people who can be enemies with Zhu Weidong, after eliminating all the methods, these two are the most likely suspects."

Wu Dongping saw the worry on Director Wang's face and said, "You can't judge a person's heart by his appearance. Director Wang, don't be too disappointed. If they were wrongly accused, that's a good thing. If they really did it, they were murdered just because they discovered their affair. Such evil people can't be allowed to go unpunished."

Director Wang smiled slightly embarrassedly.

He is the leader, and he is indecisive at this time and needs others to comfort him. How can this be acceptable?

After I figured it out, I cheered up.

Far away in the capital, Ji Ling also received feedback from Rong Junjie that Lian Qizhen was pregnant and Zhu Weidong was most likely killed because he discovered their affair.

After hearing that it was Lian Qizhen and Gu Baoshan who did it, Ji Ling sat alone in a daze for quite a while.

All that flashed through his mind were scenes of his interactions with Gu Baoshan, as well as the grudges between Lian Qizhen and them.

Ji Ling was not surprised that these two people got together and even had an affair. What she couldn't understand was why it was just a private affair and would cost someone's life.

Whenever I thought of this, I wanted to rush to Gu Baoshan and ask him why he did this.

How had Ji Ling wronged him? She really couldn't figure it out, and could only conclude that he was just being jealous and hateful.

Miao Man often went to the compound these days. She went alone the first few times, but Meng Wenbin was with her the last two times.

Meng Wenbin's skin is still dark, but he looks much more stable, and the first impression he gives people is a sense of security.

When they came for the second time, Gu Baoshan went to the county to meet Lian Qizhen and fell into the trap designed by Wu Dongping and others and was arrested.

Lian Qizhen also testified for Gu Baoshan, saying that the two people left one after another and Gu Baoshan had no other motive for committing the crime.

But Zhu Weidong disappeared, the two men’s statements were made separately, and there were no witnesses, so the case was stuck here.

When Miao Man heard that it was related to Gu Baoshan, she couldn't help but curse and even took her anger out on Meng Wenbin.

Meng Wenbin was her enemy at the same time, and he stood on the same front with her. "How about I go and cause trouble for Gao Jing and help you and Xiaoling vent your anger?"

"What's the big deal about bullying a woman? Besides, is Gao Jing worthy?" Miao Man gritted her teeth, "But Gu Baoshan has a woman outside, so let Gao Jing know."

Meng Wenbin didn't dare to call her stupid, and reminded her in a low voice, "Gao Jing must have known about Gu Baoshan's accident a long time ago."

Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Miao Man rolled her eyes.

Ji Ling watched the two people's actions, "When did you two get together?"

"No."

"last month."

Miao Man denied it, but Meng Wenbin admitted it.

The two spoke at the same time and shut up at the same time.

Ji Ling rubbed her forehead and said, "Go away, both of you, please stop getting in my way."

Miao Man blushed for a rare moment, "I wanted to hide this from you, after all, my brother-in-law is in trouble now, who made him so stupid that you saw it."

Meng Wenbin immediately admitted that he was stupid and took all the blame on himself.

Ji Ling smiled and said, "Well, you two are able to be together, I think you are sincere. I am happy for you two."

Miao Man said, "First separate them, if it doesn't work, then separate them."

Meng Wenbin coaxed, "Yes, look at my performance."

As a result, Miao Man and Meng Wenbin did not stay any longer, for fear that Ji Ling would feel uncomfortable seeing them.

There is no clue about Zhu Weidong, he has been missing for almost two months.

From August to October, the weather had become cold, and Ji Ling got up and went back to work.

Finally, the case was solved. The Zhu family has been keeping an eye on it, the higher-ups are still investigating, and the people are still looking for them.

Zhong Yali has officially started working in Ji Ling's department. When Ji Ling is with her, they have no other conversations except about work.

However, when they were alone, Zhong Yali would advise Ji Ling to relax.

Ji Ling expressed her gratitude, but did not become closer to Zhong Yali because of this.

Through Gu Baoshan's experience, Ji Ling understood the lesson of the farmer and the snake, and stopped wanting to interact with people.

As for Ji Yong and his wife who said they would come to see Ji Ling, they did not come. Ji Ke was hit by a car and lost the baby in her belly, and also lost the qualification to be a mother in the future.

As long as Ji Ke is left alone, she will commit suicide.

Ji Yong and his wife had no choice but to stay, and they took turns watching Ji Ke.
