When Yao Ze and Tang Min were talking, there was a sound of the door opening and the man reprimanded him with some annoyance: "I don't care how you solve this matter, you must solve it for me, don't let people see jokes." As soon as he opened the door, he saw Tang Min in the living room and the strange young man next to Tang Min, he couldn't help but be stunned, then changed into slippers, and said a few words to the person on the phone before hanging up.

When Yao Ze saw Yan Mingkui, the head of the Organization Department, coming over, he stood up from the sofa with a smile, stepped forward to shake hands with Yan Mingkui and said, "Hello Minister Yan, I'm really embarrassed to take the liberty of visiting. ”

Tang Min also stood up and called Uncle Yan.

Yan Mingkui nodded with a smile, then looked at Yao Ze twice, and said with a smile: "If I guessed correctly, you are Yao Ze from the Ministry of Agriculture, right?" ”

Yao Ze smiled implicitly and nodded yes.

Yan Mingkui smiled and said, "Don't stand, sit down." He put the briefcase aside, and when he saw that there was no water in Yao Ze and Tang Min's cups, he personally changed the tea for the two of them, and enthusiastically handed Yao Ze cigarettes, but he looked quite kind and enthusiastic.

Sitting next to Yao Ze and giving Yao Ze a cigarette, Yan Mingkui took out another cigarette by himself, and just put it in his mouth, Yao Ze quickly helped Yan Mingkui light it, Yan Mingkui nodded with a smile, then took a puff lightly, and said to Yao Ze: "I have heard some of your deeds, which is very good." Shunyi found a good son-in-law. ”

"Minister Yan praised it falsely." Yao Ze smiled modestly and said.

Yao Ze gave Tang Min a satisfactory answer just now, Tang Min at this time can be described as radiant, his mood is very different from the front-end time, and his face is full of happy smiles, especially when Yan Mingkui praised Yao Ze just now, there was a sweet smile on his face, Yan Mingkui saw it in his eyes, and said with a smile: "You two can be described as talented men and women." He looked at Yao Ze and said earnestly: "Yao Ze, Xiaomin's niece I watched her grow up, she has a good character and good looks, it is your blessing to be able to marry her, you don't want to lose her." ”

Yao Ze smiled stupidly, and said weakly: "No, I will treat Xiaomin well." After speaking, he glanced at Tang Min gently, and Tang Min had a shy expression.

Seeing the affectionate appearance of the two, Yan Mingkui laughed and said: "It's good to be young, I really envy you young people." After speaking, Yan Mingkui sighed softly and said, "If nothing happened to my son back then, I would be about the same age as you now." ”

Yao Ze listened to Yan Mingkui's words, and couldn't help but widen his eyes and looked at Tang Min in some surprise.

Tang Min secretly glanced at Yao Ze and asked him not to ask now.

Yan Mingkui's mood was suddenly a little low, and his feelings seemed to be very bad, he squeezed out a smile at Yao Ze, and then said apologetically: "You guys talk first, I'll deal with some things comfortably."

Looking at Yan Mingkui's somewhat lonely back, Yao Ze asked Tang Min in a low voice, "What's the matter, what happened to his son?" ”

Tang Min also seemed to be infected by Yan Mingkui's depressed feelings, sighed lightly, and said in a low voice: "It was already six or seven years ago, when Uncle Yan's son was still in high school, and one day he was kidnapped by a gang of bandits after school, and when he contacted Uncle Yan at night, he asked him to prepare three million to ransom his son, and threatened Uncle Yan not to call the police, otherwise it would be torn." ”

Tang Min sighed when he said this, and continued: "Uncle Yan is a good official, he is not corrupt, where did he get the three million, so he went to borrow money from his friends in a hurry, and it took a whole day to collect the three million, and when he was about to send money to the bandits, what happened to you?" ”

Yao Ze looked at Tang Min with a puzzled expression and asked, "Tear up the ticket?" ”

Seeing Tang Min sighing and nodding, Yao Ze frowned and asked, "Why?" Didn't Minister Yan already get together the money? ”

The gangster's answer to Uncle Yan was that he had broken his word and called the police.

Yao Ze said: "Did Minister Yan really call the police? ”

Tang Min shook his head and said: "Uncle Yan is such a precious son, he naturally doesn't want his son to make a mistake, of course he didn't dare to call the police, but I don't know where the gangsters got the fake news, saying that Uncle Yan secretly called the police, and you should know what happened as a result......

Yao Ze listened to Tang Min's words, frowned slightly, shook his head and said, "Why do I always feel that this matter is a little strange?" ”

Tang Min nodded lightly and said, "My father also said that this matter does not seem to be a simple kidnapping incident. ”

Yao Ze lit a cigarette and said: "There are a lot of suspicions in it, first of all, if the gangsters are seeking money, then they can kidnap the relatives of those rich people, they can extort a lot of money, there is no need to find the children of officials, second, after kidnapping people, Minister Yan obviously did not call the police, but they said that Minister Yan called the police, who told them the news?" Or did they make it up themselves? The purpose of tearing up the ticket without receiving the money is too obvious, and their extortion of money from Minister Yan is actually just a cover for people's eyes, and the purpose is to cover up their real purpose. ”

Tang Min listened to Yao Ze's analysis, looked at Yao Ze in surprise and said, "You and my father are basically the same analysis." ”

Yao Ze said with a wry smile: "Almost everyone who knows the inside story can think of it. The end result? Did the gangsters catch it? Yao Ze asked again.

Tang Min sighed again, shook his head and said, "After so many years, it has not been solved, and now it has become a headless case, you can believe Uncle Yan's pain." ”

Yao Ze stuffed the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray and sighed: "If my guess is correct, it must be Minister Yan's enemy, and it is estimated that Minister Yan can also judge who the real murderer is." ”

Tang Min was surprised again: "What? You say Uncle Yan knows who killed his son? That's impossible! ”

Yao Ze smiled bitterly: "What's impossible? ”

Tang Min said: "If Uncle Yan knows who the murderer is, how can he let him go?" ”

Yao Ze said: "Even if you know, if you don't have evidence, isn't it in vain?" Think about it, since I can think that this matter is not simply kidnapping and ransom, then Minister Yan can naturally also think that in addition to extorting money, then the purpose of kidnapping his son is naturally to seek revenge, if the clues are placed on seeking revenge, who Minister Yan has offended, he must be very clear in his heart, so that the scope of the murderer will be narrowed again, and the person who murdered his son will be about to come out. ”

Tang Min listened to Yao Ze's analysis, gasped, and said in surprise: "If Uncle Yan knew who the murderer was, how could he endure it for so many years?" ”

Yao Ze said: "It may be that he has been secretly investigating that person, but it's a pity that his enemy is too cautious, and he has never found evidence." Speaking of the kidnapping of Yan Mingkui's son, Yao Ze vaguely remembered that he seemed to be in high school at that time, and there was a very sensational kidnapping case in Yanjing at that time, and now I think about it, it should be Yan Mingkui's son's case.

"Hey, Uncle Yan is so pitiful." Tang Min gently hugged Yao Ze's arm, his eyes a little moist.

Yao Ze touched Tang Min's hair and said softly: "This is fate that makes people." ”

While chatting, Li Meixiu walked out of the kitchen with a pot of soup and said with a smile: "The meal is ready, let's start eating it immediately." Seeing that there were only Yao Ze and Tang Min in the living room, Li Meixiu was displeased: "This old man always has no concept of time, and he told him in the afternoon, there are guests at home, let him come back early, when is this, and I don't know what he is busy with." ”

Tang Min stood up from the sofa and said, "Auntie, Uncle Yan has come back and is in the study." ”

"Oh, the old guy is back." Li Meixiu smiled bitterly: "This old guy is really good, I don't know what to do when I greet the two of you and run to the study by yourself." ”

Tang Min smiled and said that it was okay, then walked towards the study, knocked lightly on the door, and said, "Uncle Yan, it's time to eat." ”

Yan Mingkui's somewhat dry voice came from inside: "Ahem, okay Xiaomin, I'll come out immediately." ”

When the four of them were sitting at the dining table, Yao Ze secretly glanced at Yan Mingkui, saw that his eyes were a little red, and he couldn't help but secretly go to the study to be sad when he remembered his tragic death just now, and he was extremely depressed at this time.

His wife, Li Meixiu, also saw that his feelings were wrong, so she said softly: "Old man, what are you doing?" With such an ugly face and a cold? As she spoke, she reached out to touch Yan Mingkui's forehead, but Yan Mingkui avoided her, and then squeezed out a smile and said, "No, let's eat." ”

He picked up the wine on the table and said to Yao Ze with a smile, "Let's have some wine." ”

Yao Ze hurriedly took the initiative to take the wine, opened the wine, and asked him to help Yan Mingkui pour the wine.

Yan Mingkui commanded: "Pour full!" ”

Yao Ze nodded with a wry smile.

Li Meixiu reminded unhappily: "You are not in good health, why do you drink so much." ”

Yan Mingkui squeezed out a smile and said: "It's okay, my niece came from afar to see my uncle today, I'm happy, and it won't be in the way to drink more." Then he looked at Yao Ze and said, "Yao Ze, you are also full, and you can have a few drinks with me." ”

Yao Ze knew that Yan Mingkui was in an extremely bad mood at this time, but in order not to affect their mood for eating, he still forced a smile, and couldn't help sighing in his heart, and then nodded lightly: "Minister Yan, in fact, I drink very badly, but I will accompany Minister Yan to drink as much as I want today, and I will accompany the gentleman with my life, and I will definitely accompany Yan to drink a painful time." ”

Yan Mingkui squeezed out a smile and nodded: "Don't call me any minister, listen to Shengfen, call me uncle like Xiaomin." Xiaomin, this child, I watched him grow up, but I treat him as half my daughter. ”

Tang Min is also a smart and witty person, knowing that Yan Mingkui is in a very bad mood, so he followed Yan Mingkui's words and said, "Uncle Yan, why don't you accept me as your goddaughter?" I will provide for you in the future. ”

Yan Mingkui was holding the dishes, listening to Tang Min's words, his hand couldn't help shaking, and the dish in the chopsticks fell on the table all of a sudden, he looked at Tang Min with some excitement, and said in a trembling voice: "Really? ”

Tang Min hummed lightly and said, "If the uncle and aunt don't dislike it, Xiao Min is naturally willing." ”

Yan Mingkui and Li Meixiu were both excited, the two of them had no children under their knees, and they watched Tang Min grow up, in fact, they had long had the intention of accepting Tang Min as their goddaughter, this time Tang Min took the initiative to mention it, how could the two of them not be happy, Li Meixiu thought of her son with a tragic fate, so she choked with tears and said: "How good it would be if my hard-working child was still alive, with such a smart sister..."

Yan Mingkui also had ruddy eyes, looked at Tang Min with a sad face, and said softly: "Xiaomin, you will be my Yan Mingkui's daughter in the future, and your aunt and I will rely on you for the rest of my life......"
