Chapter 8 Windfall
Li Yiting needs to redeploy this chess game that has been disrupted.
He asked Wan Yongkun to inform Xu Jingnan to come to No. 38 Niu Shi Street to meet, now, it is time to need manpower, and it is best to act quickly, in case Xu Jingyuan accidentally sees through his tricks, maybe as long as he simply bypasses the police station and sends a letter of inquiry to the city bureau, everything will be immediately wasted. Of course, with Xu Jingyuan's IQ, it will take about a few days, and as long as there is a buffer time of ten days and eight days, it is enough to act.
He was not completely sure of the truth of Meng Biao's disappearance, the only thing he was sure of was the file provided by Chen Tianyu.
The next move can be said to be a completely risky gamble.
Xu Jingnan was a little convinced, some of the abnormal manifestations of this Meng Biao were seen by his own eyes, and part of them were Zhou Wengang's frequent text messages to describe the abnormality - although he didn't pay attention to it, but at this time he was really easy to accept the word "fake".
What could be a more plausible explanation?
If Meng Biao is another person impersonating, then all kinds of situations will quickly become reasonable, and people with characteristics are especially easy to imitate, which has been tried and tested on the stage many times, he thought of the invisible person mentioned by Li Yiting, making an important person particularly ordinary is a kind of invisibility, so making an ordinary person very characteristic is naturally invisible.
If Meng Biao was pretended to be someone else, it would make sense from his disappearance to his sudden appearance, but he turned a blind eye to Zhou Wengang, an acquaintance, in the market because he didn't know Zhou Wengang at all, and as for returning to the unit and returning to normal strangely, it can be speculated that he received instructions from the mastermind behind the scenes.
Everything is starting to work out, and it's not as weird as it seems.
Xu Jingnan sighed in his heart, Zhou Wengang, Zhou Wengang, you, a person who is not doing your job, are now in the center of the stage and have become a crucial witness, what else do you know?
It seems that it is time to interview this weak scholar.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Zhou Wengang received Xu Jingnan's text message about dinner, and he was both happy and worried.
The good news is that there are finally people who are willing to listen to their own ideas, and the "savior" who has been waiting for them has finally appeared, and this time they have to make their doubts clear no matter what; what if Officer Xu still does not believe his own words this time, what should he do if he wants to provide real evidence?
It was with this mood that he met Xu Jingnan at the Niu Shi Street hot pot restaurant, this time Xu Jingnan was more cautious and asked for the only small box, in case the partition wall had ears.
The hot pot was not served, only a plate of tequila and a plate of peanuts, plus half a dozen beers and a pack of cigarettes, which is the standard for working meals.
Zhou Wengang didn't care about what to eat at all, and as soon as he entered the private room, he couldn't wait to say, "Brother Xu, I have an important situation to report." ”
Xu Jingnan nodded, but handed over a bottle of beer, helped tear open the pull ring, and laughed softly: "Let's have a drink." ”
"Okay. Zhou Wengang picked up the can of beer and took a few sips, maybe he was really a little dry.
Xu Jingnan smiled secretly in his heart, this person is really simple enough, it seems that people can see from the head to the soles of their feet at a glance, how should such a person survive in a complex society? Probably can only engage in some technical research or something, Xu Jingnan finally let go of the knots in his heart, and no longer lost his rational judgment for the false aura of a famous university.
"It seems that if you don't hurry up, you'll choke on horse urine. He quipped.
Zhou Wengang suddenly stopped worrying, he also felt that he seemed to be a little cheap, and he wanted to be reserved but didn't know how to deal with it.
He thought for a moment before he whispered: "I suspect that this current Meng Biao is not the real Meng Biao at all. ......" After he finished speaking, he found that Xu Jingnan did not react, and he didn't even have a trace of astonishment in anticipation of the rest of the article, and he couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"Hey, Brother Xu, don't you believe it?"
Xu Jingnan's heart was actually happy, and he couldn't imagine that Li Yiting's judgment and Zhou Wengang's guess actually coincided, but he shook his head in a foolish manner and said, "I already know this." ”
Zhou Wengang was surprised: "Got it? How do you know, I'm actually just guessing now." ”
Xu Jingnan said with a smile: "Looking at your expression, it is obviously not a complete guess, there is probably a good reason to come up with such an unconventional reasoning, and you can't guess such a result out of thin air." ”
Zhou Wengang stretched out his thumb in admiration.
"Detective!" he poured a can of beer directly into his mouth, then leaned his head closer, "Brother Xu, you are the wisest person I have ever met. …… Terrible. ”
Xu Jingnan thought to himself that there was someone else who was wise, but he didn't refute it, and quietly waited for this person who couldn't hide his words to say amazing words again.
Sure enough, Zhou Wengang did not disappoint him, only to see him take out a black package from the sports backpack behind him and gently place it on the wooden table.
Xu Jingnan reached out with some excitement and untied the bundled tape and three layers of black plastic bags, revealing five bundles of red puffed renminbi -- 100,000 yuan.
He quickly understood but was somewhat disappointed, this was obviously the 100,000 yuan that Meng Biao used to bribe Zhou Wengang mentioned before.
"This is the cash that Meng Biao left in the dormitory, but the person who appeared now has never asked me about this money. ”
Xu Jingnan nodded: "One hundred thousand is not a small amount for Meng Biao, and it is unlikely that he will abandon it." "But that doesn't mean anything, and it can't be used as direct evidence, maybe he forgot it for a while." ”
Xu Jingnan didn't want to expose his true thoughts too early, he wanted more effective information.
Zhou Wengang became excited: "It is absolutely impossible! This person usually has to fight baht, how can he forget? Not to mention that this money is still a dowry that he has worked so hard to save for Tang Qing." ”
Xu Jingnan immediately captured the main point: "Who is Tang Qing?"
"Tang Qing?" Zhou Wengang's eyes suddenly flickered, "This has nothing to do with her." ”
This is said to be unavoidable that there are no three hundred taels of silver here, how can Xu Jingnan let it go, he asked: "I know it doesn't matter, but I can see that you also seem to have some interest in this Tang Qing." ”
Zhou Wengang's fair face flushed suddenly, I don't know if it was the effect of alcohol or a little weak-hearted, he snorted: "Tang Qing is recognized by everyone as a big beauty, or my old classmate, how can I think differently." Having said that, Xu Jingnan had already noticed that a few fine beads of sweat were slowly popping out of his forehead.
He didn't continue to torture because there was already an answer.
"Everyone has a love for beauty, brother, normal and normal. Xu Jingnan pretended not to find anything.
Zhou Wengang breathed a sigh of relief, and took advantage of Xu Jingnan's drinking with his head down, and secretly wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his cuffs, he felt a little uncomfortable.
This time Xu Jingnan took the initiative to speak: "This topic has nothing to do with the case, you can continue to talk about Meng Biao's situation." ”
Zhou Wengang let down his guard a little, but he didn't hurry to speak, but picked up chopsticks to clip a peanut, but he didn't pick it up for a long time, so he turned to clip a fish and put it in his mouth.
Xu Jingnan couldn't help laughing, he hadn't forgotten the task of this trip.
He picked up the wine jar and touched it with Zhou Wengang, and continued to guide his thoughts: "Is there any other abnormality in Meng Biao, otherwise I don't think you will be in a hurry to see me." ”
Speaking of business, Zhou Wengang finally entered the state.
"That's right, this Meng Biao was completely two people before he disappeared and after he came back. Hobbies, living habits, ways of speaking, and even facial expressions are completely different. I don't smoke a cigarette anymore, I used to be very sloppy, but now I take a shower three times a day, and I feel that I have a habit of cleanliness. The speech is also clear, the thinking is not as chaotic as before, it is really like two people, the expression was wooden before, the face was brainless, and now - so deep, I dare to say, he is definitely not the Meng Biao I know!"
Xu Jingnan interjected: "Does he still remember what happened to Tang Qing?"
Zhou Wengang pursed his lips and said, "How can you forget this?"
Xu Jingnan hurriedly asked: "Are they boyfriend and girlfriend, I'm curious, how can the flowers of your research institute like such a person who is useless in your mouth?"
Zhou Wengang was also equally excited: "I don't know, in fact, they were already boyfriend and girlfriend before I came to this unit, I also said just now, before this incident, he and Tang Qing should have reached the level of talking about marriage, but about personal issues, he talked very little, and I was embarrassed to ask, but I can feel that the relationship between him and Tang Qing should have some problems." ”
Xu Jingnan said: "What's the problem?"
Zhou Wengang thought for a while: "It's probably still a matter of the family, anyway, Meng Biao must be in a worse condition, compared to Tang Qing, the gap is quite big." ”
Xu Jingnan said: "You mean that Tang Qing looks down on Meng Biao a little?"
Zhou Wengang nodded uncertainly: "I have this feeling, at least as a classmate, Tang Qing has never mentioned Meng Biao in front of me." He suddenly had no desire to speak, and every time he mentioned Tang Qing, Zhou Wengang's expression was a little unnatural.
"If this Meng Biao is an impostor, I don't want Tang Qing to be hurt in any way. He finally told the truth the most important reason for being so enthusiastic about the case.
Xu Jingnan suddenly remembered something, and he asked: "If I am not mistaken, the leader of your unit once said that Meng Biao took a confidential document with him when he disappeared, and the institute did not investigate this matter?"
Zhou Wengang sighed: "The institute has been calm for many years, and suddenly such a thing happened, everyone was also a little in a hurry, and the confidential document was not actually lost, but a colleague forgot to sign it when he received it, which is too sensitive and full of soldiers." ”
"How can you know so well? I'm afraid you're not qualified to go through the secret documents on your phone. Xu Jingnan did not let go of this suspicion.
Zhou Wengang nodded and said, "That's nature." But this matter was indeed clarified by Mr. Liu in person, conveyed at the management meeting, and I was in charge of serving tea and pouring water at that time, and I overheard it. ”
Xu Jingnan didn't ask again, he needed to think about it, today's meeting had met expectations, and he knew that Zhou Wengang couldn't answer the deeper questions.
So he held up the beer can and said with a smile: "Contact me if there is any new situation, I will definitely help you." Let's have a few drinks today, we will continue to investigate the case, you can rest assured, we will protect the people who should be protected. ”
Zhou Wengang nodded absentmindedly.
For some reason, his mood suddenly became a little low.
Did he talk too much to outsiders today? Especially about Tang Qing, he obviously regretted it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
After listening to Xu Jingnan's report, Li Yiting's expression became a little solemn: If this Meng Biao is really an impostor, what is the ultimate goal? If the case has just begun, what kind of unknown conspiracy does the manipulators behind the scenes have? At this time, will exposing the target be able to stop the crime or will it be able to startle the snake? If we do not make a decisive attack, will we lose even the best opportunity for investigation?
The most important thing is, what is Meng Biao's plan, and what is the next step to act? With such painstaking efforts, there will certainly not be no goal, will something happen to the institute? Will anyone be killed?
That's what worries him most at the moment, and too calm is often elusive.
He decided to discuss it with the fourth brother, of course, this time it is impossible to use the method of writing a letter, just call directly.
"After you take advantage of the weakness of the research institute to knock on the mountains and shake the tiger, it is best to wait and see what happens, some things are really going to happen, and you and I may not be able to stop them. Chen Tianyu on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment, "This Tang Qing may know some inside information, and it is right to protect it appropriately." ”
He had just hung up the phone, and another number came in, but he didn't expect it to be Xu Jingyuan.
The leaders of the institute agreed to reopen the case, but they asked for a private investigation not to disturb their normal work and life. Xu Jingyuan's news couldn't help but lift Li Yiting's spirits, he didn't expect that knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger would take effect so easily, but it was also beyond his expectations.
He decided to explore the mysterious institution tomorrow.
Although he still has a sign of the Supreme People's Procuratorate's detective agency at hand, he may not be able to use him as a fake director, and he knows this very well.
If the identity is revealed, let alone the investigation at that time, you may not even be able to step into the door of the research institute.
When your opponent is unexpected, you may need to be quick and quick.
