Becoming a hostage
"Who are you? Is there anything I can help you with?" Asarirou pretended not to know him.
I always feel that this woman's appearance here is not simple, and she is not doing good things.
According to the investigation data, Tang Qianjiao often appears in various banquets, and valuables are lost in eight out of ten banquets!
In addition to poisoning, Tang Qianjiao also has the strong point of stealing!
But then again, was Tang Qianjiao really unaware that Yatang was also a Luosha member? Even though Yatang had been lurking by her side as an undercover agent for a long time, the only people who knew her true identity were her master, four senior brothers, and one senior sister! But were the rest of her fellow disciples truly unaware of her?
Judging from Tang Qianjiao's reaction, she didn't know Yatang, or at least she was unfamiliar with Yatang's face!
"I'm Xiu's friend. I heard you were his wife, so I thought I'd come over and say hello."
Is it just a simple greeting? Asahirou, who knew her well, had serious doubts about this.
Although there was a smile in her eyes, it was unfriendly, like the smile of a hunter when he found his prey.
However, Asahirou will let her know who is the real hunter and who is the prey that is about to be captured!
"My name is Tang Qianjiao. Xiu likes to call me Jiaojiao, so you can call me Jiaojiao too. How is Xiu doing recently?" Tang Qianjiao asked ambiguously, as if trying to be annoying on purpose.
Before Zhao Rirou could react, Zhuang Gaoya approached with an unpleasant look on her face. "Are you familiar with Yue Lanxiu?" The sound of her "xiuxiuxiu" made her uncomfortable. This woman was very beautiful, the kind of alluring, the kind that men could never resist, the kind she hated the most, like a seductive nymphomaniac, always trying to seduce people!
"Of course, we know each other so well that we even know how many moles there are on each other's bodies! Am I more familiar with each other than you?" Tang Qianjiao said provocatively.
Although Zhuang Gaoya is the daughter of a large group, Tang Qianjiao is a member of a killer organization and would not take such a greenhouse flower seriously at all.
Turning her gaze to Zhao Rirou, she deepened her hypocritical smile and said, "Please don't mind. No matter how close he and I were, it was before I met you! Maybe he has already forgotten me, but I will never forget how gentle he was when he was gentle, and how brave he was when he was brave!" At the end of her words, she suddenly covered her mouth and said, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so affectionate in front of you!"
Zhuang Gaoya was so angry that her teeth were almost broken. She secretly vowed not to let this evil woman get close to Yue Lanxiu. In her eyes, this woman posed a much greater threat to her than Yatang!
Asahirou curled her lips and smiled sarcastically, "I don't think he will forget you either. After all, you left a very deep impression on him! I felt that you looked familiar at the first sight, but I didn't remember it for a while. Now I suddenly remembered it again, and I remembered that Xiu had shown me a video of you." At this point, Tang Qianjiao's expression froze as Asahirou had expected, and she could no longer laugh.
"Although you don't look good in the video, you are still very beautiful! You two must be very familiar with each other, otherwise you wouldn't have diarrhea in front of him!" Tang Qianjiao didn't let her say the last few words in public.
Tang Qianjiao interrupted in time. Although a smile appeared on her face again, it was to hide her embarrassment! "Well, our matter is over after all. There is nothing to say!"
As expected of Yue Lanxiu’s wife, she’s not easy to mess with even with her words!
Thinking back to that great humiliation, I felt murderous!
She had long ago vowed not to let Yue Lan recover! So let's start with his wife! And his mother! I heard his mother is here too.
At this time, Yue Lanhuan finally came out of the bathroom, and there was no need for Chao Rirou to look for her, because she also saw Chao Rirou.
She exclaimed in surprise and joy, "Yatang, you're here!"
Asahiro looked back and saw that her eyes were red. She must have been crying a lot!
He gave her a gentle smile and said, "I'm here to take you home!" Asarirou was hesitant in her heart, wondering whether she should give those mean old women a good beating before going back!
Yue Lanhuan felt warm in her heart because of her smile, and she wanted to cry again, but she looked up at the ceiling and held back. It was really embarrassing to cry at the slightest provocation!
"Okay, okay, let's go now!" Yue Lanhuan gave people the feeling that he was escaping from a wolf's den.
Zhuang Gaoya pushed past Zhao Rirou and stepped forward, "Aunt, are you going back? Am I not treating you well enough?"
"No, I'm a little tired and want to go back." Yue Lanhuan still smiled good-temperedly, and did not vent her anger on her mother because of her mother's malicious attitude.
"Are you tired? It's my fault for not treating you well enough. Let me take you home, or I'll feel really bad!"
Zhao Rirou laughed beside her. Zhuang Gaoya practically treated Yue Lanhuan like her own mother! She was really trying hard to become Yue Lan's wife, even though it was all in vain.
"It's okay, don't take it to heart! Since Yatang is here, I'll just go back with Yatang, so I won't bother you anymore!"
Zhao Rirou wanted to step forward, but this time she was pushed aside by Tang Qianjiao. What are these women? What is Tang Qianjiao up to?
"Hello, are you Xiu's mother? I am Xiu's friend, and I am very happy to meet your aunt!" Tang Qianjiao ignored the knife-like eyes shot by Zhuang Gaoya, and held Yue Lanhuan's hand affectionately.
"Hello, hello!" Yue Lanhuan was obviously frightened by her enthusiasm.
Damn you little brat! How can you be so philandering?
"Auntie, your bag is so beautiful. Can you lend it to me to have a look?" Tang Qianjiao asked unexpectedly.
Yue Lanhuan thought it was okay, so she showed her the bag, because the bag was indeed beautiful and was given to her by Zhuang Gaoya together with the dress.
When Asahirou heard this, she felt it was strange, but she also thought that it might be her way of getting close to him.
But Chao Rirou didn't understand. Zhuang Gaoya was trying to please Yue Lanhuan so she could get closer to Yue Lanxiu. So, what about Tang Qianjiao? Did she really need to please Yue Lanhuan? Absolutely not. Although she and Yue Lanxiu had a fleeting romance, she must really hate him now! Otherwise, she wouldn't have seen the hatred in her eyes, even though she thought she hid it well.
Tang Qianjiao's hatred was intense, especially when she mentioned the video incident. Zhao Rirou could sense her murderous intent. Her hatred had already been directed at her and Yue Lanhuan!
Tang Qianjiao couldn't take revenge on Yue Lanxiu, so she might start with her and Yue Lanhuan! Because they were Yue Lanxiu's closest relatives now!
But Asahirou won't let her succeed!
Tang Qianjiao had returned the bag to Yue Lanhuan, but Zhao Rirou frowned because a strange smile suddenly appeared in Tang Qianjiao's eyes.
Although it was brief, it was still caught by Asahirou who was staring at her without blinking.
This kind of smile is like the smile after a sinister plot has succeeded!
Zhao Rirou was shocked. What on earth had she done?!
Her intuition told her to take Yue Lanhuan away quickly!
But at the critical moment, Tang Qianjiao said, "Auntie, one of your earrings fell off!"
"No way!" Yue Lanhuan touched his ear, his face changed drastically, "Oh no! Where did it fall?"
"I'm sorry that I lost the gift you just gave me!" She felt very sorry for Zhuang Gaoya.
"It's okay, Auntie, don't worry about it. Think about where you went just now. I'll help you look for it!"
"Bathroom!" Yue Lanhuan remembered that she had been in the bathroom for a long time just now.
So a group of people went to the bathroom to help Yue Lanhuan find her lost earrings!
But why did Zhao Rirou feel that it was Tang Qianjiao's doing? After all, her real identity was a big robber who had committed many thefts!
But what was her purpose in doing this? Was she trying to stop them from leaving?
"Don't you want to go with us and look for it?" Tang Qianjiao asked her.
"I'll look for her in the hall." Zhao Rirou replied. In fact, she wanted to keep an eye on Tang Qianjiao's every move.
There was competition and murderous intent in the eyes of the two men as they looked at each other.
"Then I'll come and help too. I'll go take a look somewhere else." Then he walked away.
Not long after, Zhao Rirou saw Yue Lanhuan coming out of the bathroom disappointed.
Asahirou thought it would be better for them to leave.
Just as she and Yue Lanhuan were about to leave, there was a big commotion in the banquet, as if something big had happened, because no one was allowed to leave the dealer's house!
Not long after, the head of the family, Zhuang Yuling, announced that a theft had occurred in the hall. They had contacted the police and urged everyone to remain calm. They also urged everyone to cooperate and not leave without permission. Firstly, staying here would prove their innocence, and secondly, the family needed everyone's assistance in finding the thief!
Asahiro narrowed her eyes in thought, and suddenly she thought of something, and her eyes suddenly widened.
She was shocked and took a while to calm down...
There were already many senior police officers at the banquet. After some discussion, a solution was worked out, and Xiao Qi represented them in speaking and implementing it.
"Sorry, sorry! We frightened everyone! Please don't worry, we police are here! We will do everything we can to protect everyone present and their property from further attacks. We will also promptly provide an explanation for lost property! Please trust us and cooperate with us! Now it's time for us police to investigate the case. Our first priority is to prove everyone's innocence! Proving your innocence requires an investigation. If it involves personal privacy, please rest assured that we police will not leak a single detail! This is what I, as a police officer, want to say to everyone."
"Next is what I want to say as a member of the Zhuang family," Xiao Qi bowed deeply to everyone before continuing, "We are deeply sorry for what happened to you all! Everything is our responsibility..." At this point, Xiao Qi and Zhuang Yulin looked at each other. After Zhuang Yulin nodded slightly, he added, "We, the Zhuang family, will bear your losses! We only hope to get your understanding, and we only hope that you will stop worrying and leave all your troubles to us and the police!" After speaking, he bent down again and bowed deeply 90 degrees.
Although the people present were very unhappy about this situation, no one stood up to refute the actions of the dealer and the police. This was equivalent to tacitly accepting their actions.
In fact, you can only accept it, otherwise you will become an object of suspicion!
After all, everyone present knew that the thieves were most likely still among them!
A group of noble ladies not far from Chao Rirou and Yue Lanhuan began to complain, insult, and speculate...
Tang Qianjiao also joined their conversation. "Actually, everyone attending the dinner today is from a prominent family, rich, powerful, and well-known. How could such a group of people commit such a theft? In my opinion, we should start with the servants!"
These words undoubtedly directed the anger towards Chao Rirou and Yue Lanhuan.
Because in the eyes of those noble ladies, their status is not suitable for attending such a high-end banquet.
"Speaking of servants, isn't there a servant right here?"
A sarcastic voice was directed at Asahiro.
Suddenly, Zhao Rirou felt as if several gazes were shooting towards her like cold arrows. If gazes could become physical, she would have been riddled with hornets' nests!
What a bunch of stupid women! They just follow whatever others say without using their brains.
"Yatang is not a servant! She is my daughter-in-law now!" Yue Lanhuan argued for Chao Rirou. Unlike her anxiety, Chao Rirou looked calm.
"You are also a suspect. Maybe it was done by you and your mother-in-law together!"
"Oh my God! Do we look like people who have such abilities?" Yue Lanhuan said in disbelief. We can't throw dirty water on them just because they are not that rich and powerful...!
“Don’t judge a book by its cover!”
"You are the most motivated! You have no money, no skills, and yet you just think of robbing!"
"We are reporting this, and you must be the first to be thoroughly investigated!"
"Ladies, calm down. I invited Auntie here. She didn't want to come originally, but I kept asking her. So she couldn't possibly be a thief! Besides, Auntie even lost an earring!" Zhuang Gaoya spoke on Yue Lanhuan's behalf. She was the one who invited her here. If anything went wrong, if she was wronged, Yue Lanxiu would definitely not treat her well!
"Who knows if she's deliberately hiding and pretending to be a victim!"
Everyone's eyes were filled with the desire to cut Chao Rirou and Yue Lanhuan into pieces.
Tang Qianjiao stood up and spoke for justice. "Auntie, there's no point in saying more. They clearly don't trust you! Although the innocent are innocent, there's no need to endure such insults from them! If I were you, I would take the initiative to prove my innocence in front of the police! And then make them shut up! Make them apologize!"
Yue Lanhuan also felt that this was the only way.
Zhao Rirou's eyes were almost always on Tang Qianjiao. She knew all the tricks she was playing. Even what she said was within her prediction range.
"Don't be afraid, Auntie. I'll go with you! I don't like being stared at with strange looks, so I want to prove my innocence to the police and the public! Just follow me, Auntie."
"Jiaojiao is right!" Zhao Rirou agreed, her face showing trust in Tang Qianjiao. "But you should still line up behind us, okay? The looks from the ladies are so scary, like they're judging us. I can't stand it anymore. I have to prove our innocence as soon as possible!"
"Of course." Tang Qianjiao smiled brightly.
Zhao Rirou knew that it was the hunter's smile of triumph when he saw his prey fall into his trap, mixed with the pleasure of revenge! She must have also thought of Yue Lanxiu's helpless expression afterwards, which also made her feel very happy!
She thought they were heading towards the abyss, but she didn't know that the abyss was right under her feet!
A large number of police forces arrived at the scene one after another.
Yue Lanhuan was being inspected. The policewoman searched her body and checked her bag, but naturally there was nothing suspicious there.
Chao Rirou did not ignore how shocked Tang Qianjiao's expression was at this moment. She seemed unable to believe that there was no suspicious item in Yue Lanhuan's bag!
She glared at the policewoman, perhaps wondering if there was something wrong with her eyes! She almost blurted out asking the policewoman to check again carefully!
After Asahirou successfully passed the inspection, she was completely stunned by disbelief. Her eyes were filled with astonishment, as if she had seen a ghost. She seemed to be saying, "How is this possible! How could these two people still be standing in front of her? Shouldn't they be arrested? Because there were stolen goods in their bags!"
Isn't it? How could it be possible? She put it there with her own hands!
When she learned that one of them was Yue Lanxiu's wife and the other was Yue Lanxiu's mother, a plan of revenge immediately came into her mind!
Was it because the policewoman didn't check enough? She almost had to go through their bags herself!
But this is not the most incredible thing!
What she found most unbelievable was that the policewoman actually found stolen goods in her bag that should never have appeared!
It really is a ghost!
How is this possible! How did the stolen goods that were supposed to be in Yue Lanhuan and her daughter-in-law's bags end up in her bag?!
Who is behind this? !
Tang Qianjiao was so shocked that she couldn't speak! Cold sweat began to appear on her forehead.
Asahirou saw that she was terrified!
She had already discovered that Tang Qianjiao had put stolen goods into her and Yue Lanhuan's bags!
Although she didn't see it with her own eyes, she could guess.
The woman deliberately knocked her bag to the ground and pretended to pick it up for her, but in fact she took the opportunity to stuff the stolen goods into her bag.
Afterwards, the woman pretended to say that Yue Lanhuan’s bag was beautiful and she wanted to see it, but in fact, it was also to frame her!
What a close call! Zhao Rirou still felt a little scared. If she hadn't discovered Tang Qianjiao's trick in time, she would be standing here handcuffed, and she and Yue Lanhuan would be the ones who couldn't defend themselves!
A policeman was filming them, or to be more precise, the criminal Tang Qianjiao.
He is Xu Rongxuan's subordinate.
Xu Rongxuan is on his way now.
He asked his subordinates to explain the situation at the scene, and the smart subordinates took a picture of it and let him see it himself.
Xu Rongxuan was driving at this time, skillfully controlling the steering wheel while watching the video sent by his subordinates.
He was still talking to the person in the passenger seat, "They caught the murderer so quickly? And it's a woman? There must be an accomplice! But maybe this woman was framed? The real thief gave up some of the stolen goods to divert attention and escape, so they framed her! Otherwise, why would she be so stupid as to let someone check her bag!"
Yue Lanxiu next to him stared at the woman on the screen with a look of surprise. It was her!
"If it were someone else, it might be possible, but if it's this woman, she is definitely not innocent! Even if she is not a thief, she is not a good person! It is not unfair for her to eat prison food!" Yue Lanxiu had to refute his words.
"Do you know her?"
"Yes! You'll be shocked to know who she is!"
"Could it be Yan Mingchi's men?" The only person who could scare him was Yan Mingchi.
No, there is another one, Xu Rongxuan added, "Is he from Luosha?"
He wasn't really afraid of facing those cruel and dangerous people, but he was afraid that they would do something bad again! Their appearance meant that someone else was going to suffer again!
"She is Luosha's apprentice! Not only is she a master of poisoning, she also has certain skills in stealing!" Yue Lanxiu frowned, seeming puzzled.
"That must be her!" Xu Rongxuan said with certainty, but the next second he frowned in confusion, "How could she be caught so easily?"
Yue Lanxiu was also puzzled by this. "Perhaps this proves the saying, 'People stumble, horses stumble!' But don't be too happy too soon. This woman is also very cunning. We can't say we've caught her until we've locked her up! She could escape from under your noses at any time!"
"Don't be such a pessimist!" Xu Rongxuan said this, but he also reminded his men through the video not to take it lightly!
"Then why don't you come with me to take a look?" Xu Rongxuan asked Xiang Yuelanxiu again.
"Yeah." Yue Lanxiu now has more important things to investigate.
Originally, the two of them were discussing in Rongxuan's office who the real culprit in his mother's kidnapping case was.
There has been great progress in that case!
For example, Xu Yun, let him know that Xu Yun and Xu Jinglin really knew each other! And their relationship was that of old friends for more than ten years, although Xu Yun later betrayed Xu Jinglin and secretly got together with Xu Jinglin's husband, his uncle Yue Lanhui!
Thinking of Yue Lanhui, many questions came to mind. Does my uncle understand Xu Yun? Does he know what kind of woman she is?
This is one aspect, and the other aspect is starting from Xiao Qi.
Upon investigation, it was discovered that his mistress was indeed someone else's! That person was none other than his boss, Grindelwald! But not his direct supervisor. On the surface, the two of them had no contact at all! It wouldn't be assumed that they did, because Xiao Qi's direct supervisor and Grindelwald were completely at odds!
But in private, Xiao Qi was indeed working for him!
Why was he so sure? Because he had once sneaked into the mistress's residence and collected fingerprints. Strangely, Xiao Qi's fingerprints were only left on the doorknob, while Grindelwald's fingerprints were everywhere! So the answer was obvious: the woman's true lover was Grindelwald!
It’s hidden too deeply!
It was verified that the two people had no contact on the phone, which shows that they were most likely exchanging information at the mistress's place!
As for the mistress, he has already asked someone to keep a close eye on her, and it is also necessary to investigate the mistress's interpersonal relationships!
Since Xiao Qi also worked for Grindelwald, was it Grindelwald who instructed Xiao Qi to secretly visit Xia Tianhan in the prison?
Although Grindelwald and Xia Tianhan don't have much friendship, they don't have any grudges against each other, so could it be that Grindelwald was also being instructed by someone?
He now has to check Xiao Qi’s whereabouts on the day he went to jail!
"I advise you to go. You will not feel at ease if you don't go!" Xu Rongxuan gestured for him to watch the video.
Yue Lanxiu looked over in confusion, only to see his mother and Yatang on the video! They were standing not far from Tang Qianjiao, their eyes wide with fear!
"Why are they there! Why are they standing there like idiots? Why don't they leave now!" His heart was in his throat because his mother was involved in a dangerous incident!
As for Yatang, he had some doubts about her! He suspected that she was working for Luosha! So, could it be that she and Tang Qianjiao knew each other and were very familiar with each other?
Xu Rongxuan said nothing, but stepped on the accelerator. He could sense his friend's nervousness.
"It's her!" A soft and excited voice came from the back seat of the car.
The two men then remembered that there was another person in the back seat.
"You scared me to death. I almost forgot you were in the car!" Xu Rongxuan glared at the woman in the back seat through the rearview mirror.
The woman glared back at him in dissatisfaction. Of course, she only dared to do it secretly because he was her boss! Was her sense of existence so low?
"What do you mean it was her?"
"I know her. I just met her today! She is the super handsome and powerful benefactor I told you about who saved my life during the day!" The woman pointed at Asahiro in the video and said with great admiration.
It turned out that she was the woman who was almost hit by Zhuang Youya's car during the day, and fortunately Asarirou rescued her!
"Are you sure you didn't recognize the wrong person?" Two pairs of eyes were fixed on her in surprise.
"But from your description, your benefactor's skills have reached a superb level, and as far as I know, the woman in the video is just an ordinary housewife!" Xu Rongxuan looked as if he had suddenly realized something, and looked at Yue Lanxiu. From Yue Lanxiu's eyes, it can be seen that they are thinking the same thing now, that is, Yatang is hiding his true strength!
"Why must I be the one who recognized the wrong person, rather than you being the one who misunderstood him? How could I have mistaken my benefactor? And the three scars on his face are so easy to spot!"
He was absolutely right! He had misunderstood the person! This was Yue Lanxiu's true feelings!
Xu Rongxuan looked at Yue Lanxiu with sympathy. This guy was so unlucky. He married another extraordinary woman and brought her home!
But the consolation is that she still saves people, which proves that she is not that bad, right?
"Not good!" The policewoman who had been staring at the video suddenly looked nervous and serious.
She drew the two men's attention back to the video.
Yue Lanxiu's face turned pale and he blurted out in panic, "Mom!"
In the video, Yue Lanhuan was held hostage by Tang Qianjiao's accomplices who suddenly appeared!
Seeing that Tang Qianjiao was about to be forcibly taken away by the police, and with the evidence being conclusive, the chances of Tang Qianjiao leaving the police station again were extremely slim, so her accomplices resorted to this desperate measure!
A man held a gun to Yue Lanhuan's forehead, threatening the police to release Tang Qianjiao...
"Damn it!" Chao Rirou secretly cursed herself. She was careless and only focused on observing Tang Qianjiao's every move.
"Well, let her go and let me take over, okay?" Asahiro tried to talk to her.
The police nearby asked her not to intervene, but she told them to get out of the way! From their eyes, it was clear that they only wanted to catch the thieves and didn't care about the hostages' lives at all!
The gunman aimed his ferocious gaze at her. Although he didn't say a word, it was clear from his eyes that he was saying, why should I listen to you!
"She has a heart disease. If you take her hostage, it will not do you any good if she suddenly has a heart attack!" Chao Rirou and Yue Lanhuan looked at each other. Yue Lanhuan understood Chao Rirou's instructions tacitly and immediately pretended to have a heart attack, suddenly covering her chest and breathing rapidly.
"Besides, she is just an ordinary citizen and has no value! The police will not care about her safety at all! In the eyes of the police, putting criminals in jail is the most important thing!" Asahirou said this just to make the police feel guilty. Once the police feel guilty, they will take the safety of the hostage into consideration and will not force their way in.
The man with the gun began to hesitate.
At this moment, a voice came out from the crowd, "She is the mother of the great detective. The police and the great detective have a very good relationship, so for the sake of the great detective, the police will not act rashly!"
I don't know which woman is shouting, I only know that she must hate Yue Lanhuan very much! She wishes Yue Lanhuan would die immediately under the gun!
Asahirou wanted to say something to the armed man, but he no longer looked at her! But she still wanted to say, "I told you she has a heart disease and will only be a burden to you! You can exchange me for a hostage! I'm the great detective's wife!"
"Oh! If I had such an ugly wife and someone wanted to shoot her to death, I would just say thank you and please hurry up!" A person in the crowd exclaimed sarcastically, causing laughter to emanate from one person to another.
The gunman also felt that she had no value as a hostage, but there was a hint of worry between his brows, and he was obviously worried that Yue Lanhuan would suddenly have a heart attack.
"My husband loves me very much!" Asahirou puffed out her chest, unafraid of being ridiculed, and continued to work hard to persuade the armed man to exchange hostages.
"How much love? One centimeter deep?" People who watch a show are always afraid that the show is not exciting enough!
"One centimeter is the height of your life! My husband really loves me, and he worships wherever I step. You dislike the scar on my face, but he has to touch my scar every night before he can fall asleep! He said that he loves the scar on my face the most, and he said he has never seen such a beautiful scar..." Asahirou spoke domineeringly and forcefully, with a confident look on her face, which made people feel that she was not lying, and that the great detective might have a quirk!
