Chapter Ninety-Eight: Tang Jiaqiang's Secret
In a small farmhouse courtyard on the outskirts of Xiangshan City, Ni Guoqing was sitting at a table drinking wine with an old man of his age, but his anger was not very harmonious.
"How are you thinking about it?"
"Still can't do it, I really can't do it......"
Ni Guoqing sneered, took a sip of the wine glass, and said in a cold tone, "You already know that she is not your seed, what else is there to be reluctant to!" β
The old man replied bitterly, "But I have raised her for so many years, and people have feelings." β
"Stupid! You and I have known each other for decades, and you are still as stupid as ever! β
"Alas...... Just be stupid, I don't have a few years to live, I just hope this girl can have a way to live......"
Ni Guoqing hated that iron was not steel, and interrupted the old man's words, and said to the old man with a little anger, "Xie Tingfeng! It's not for our decades of friendship, I really want to chop you up! She can't be considered a real person to put it bluntly, do you fool use her as a substitute for the cooking girl? β
Xie Tingfeng picked up the wine glass and poured the wine directly on Ni Guoqing's face, and roared angrily, "You get out!" She's my daughter! You brute, you hurt my wife, and now you want to hurt my daughter! Get lost! Get out of here! β
Wiping a handful of wine stains on his face, Ni Guoqing glanced at Xie Tingfeng with a cold gaze, and dropped a sentence, "Finally, give you a week to hand her over!" He got up and left the farmhouse.
After Ni Guoqing left, Xie Tingfeng looked at the portrait of Cecilia Cheung hanging on the wall behind the desk, and muttered to himself with tears in his eyes, "Ah Zhi, why are we so miserable......"
At noon the next day, I was called up from bed by Zhao Linger for lunch. After a simple wash, I went back to the living room and stretched my body a little, feeling much better.
looked at Zhao Ling'er, who was kneeling in front of the coffee table and was busy unpacking the take-out box, and suddenly felt that as long as this girl was not babbling, she was actually quite likable.
Sitting on the sofa, I took out a cigarette and lit it in my mouth, and after taking a puff, I was snatched up by Zhao Linger and snuffed it out in the ashtray, "Smoke!" Don't die! β
I looked at her angry eyes and smiled helplessly, "Get used to it, forget it!" Don't smoke anymore. β
Seeing that I no longer thought about smoking, her face looked much better, and she calmly said to me, "Let's eat, I'll go to the hospital to hang water later." β
"Okay, eat".
After a simple lunch, Zhao Linger accompanied me to the hospital where I had an emergency yesterday, and helped me register, pay, and receive medicine after being busy, until she entered the infusion room and inserted the needle, she took a breath, sat quietly next to me and looked down at the online novel "Special Case Investigation Department".
Anyone who has been on a drip knows that the most uncomfortable and boring thing about hanging water is waiting to change the bottle, and you don't dare to really sleep, and you have to see how much liquid medicine is left from time to time, so as not to cause reflux if you are not careful.
Just as I was pretending to sleep, I suddenly heard someone arguing with the nurse in my familiar voice.
I opened my eyes, looked up slightly in the direction of the sound, and saw a person who surprised me - Tang Jiaqiang, who was accompanying an old man, arguing with the nurse about the blood return caused by the infusion.
When I first met him, I felt that this person had such a sense of righteousness, but later he spied on the progress of the laboratory many times. Strangely enough, though, he disappeared without much of a hindrance to the case.
Looking at the old man beside him, it seemed that he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.
I poked Zhao Ling'er, who was concentrating on reading the novel, with my finger, "Ling'er, do you see if the old man on the other side is a little familiar?" β
Zhao Ling'er was seeing the wonderful place, and when I interrupted her, she glanced at me with some resentment, and then looked at the old man opposite.
"ThisγIsn't this Xie Tingfeng?"
When I heard her say the words "Xie Tingfeng", my heart skipped a beat, and I lowered my voice and asked her, "Are you sure you read that right?" β
Zhao Ling'er leaned closer to me and said softly, "It's impossible to be mistaken, that sketch was still drawn by me, and I know very well the characteristics of Xie Tingting's facial features." β
After thinking about it for a while, I decided to ask Tang Jiaqiang, so I shouted to him, "Old Tang!" β
Tang Jiaqiang heard someone call him, and looked back at me in surprise. Finding out that I was calling him, he said loudly to me with a slightly ugly face, "Team Cheng? Why are you hanging on the water and getting sick? β
After speaking, he first arranged for the old man to sit down and wait for the nurse to change the bottle, and then walked up to us and said with a smile, "This world is so small, I didn't expect to meet you in this kind of place, is the little beauty on the side your sister?" β
glanced at Zhao Ling'er, who was sitting beside her with an angry face, and thought that it was estimated that Tang Jiaqiang saw her height and mistook it for my sister.
But I didn't go to wear it, and said directly to Tang Jiaqiang, "It's not, it's a coincidence." Let me introduce you, Ling'er is Captain Tang Jiaqiang of the Xiangshan City Bureau. β
Zhao Ling'er glanced at me hatefully, and said to Tang Jiaqiang calmly, "Hello, I'm Zhao Ling'er, the sister of the person who is lying on the corpse!" When she said the word sister, she deliberately accentuated her tone.
Tang Jiaqiang nodded to Zhao Ling'er as if he had known him, and then said to me with a smile, "Team Cheng, your sister has a lot of character?" β
"Hehe, the little girl's family is a little moody, don't be surprised."
Zhao Ling'er heard my words, her teeth itched, she pressed her arms tightly, and while secretly pinching me, she said to Tang Jiaqiang, "My brother is two hundred and five, don't listen to his nonsense!" β
Tang Jiaqiang smiled wryly and said, "Your sister is really interesting." β
Enduring Zhao Linger's abuse, I tried my best to say to him calmly, "Team Tang, don't you want to say something to me?" As he spoke, he glanced at the old man with his eyes.
"Alas...... This thing got it. Now is not the time, I'll contact you later! Tang Jiaqiang sighed, just a little entangled, and then made up his mind to say to me.
"Good! I'll wait for your call. Speaking from the bottom of my heart, I've always felt like you're not with those guys. β
Hearing my words, Tang Jiaqiang smiled gratefully, "Thank you!" I'll go over first, I'll contact you when I'm done here. β
I nodded, "Okay!" Deal! β
After hanging the water and Zhao Ling'er took a taxi back to the hotel, the two of us sat on the sofa in the living room, bored watching the TV series, waiting for Tang Jiaqiang's call.
I waited until 7 o'clock in the evening, and then waited for Tang Jiaqiang's belated phone call, and I didn't say much, so I made an appointment with him directly until 8 o'clock to meet at Starbucks near our hotel.
Since it was boring to sit in the hotel, I simply went to Starbucks in advance, ordered a cake for Zhao Ling'er, and after two cups of latte, we waited for Tang Jiaqiang without a word.
Time passed minute by minute, and it wasn't until two minutes after eight o'clock that I saw Tang Jiaqiang hurriedly walking into Starbucks.
After Tang Jiaqiang sat down, I smiled and said to him, "Team Tang, you really know how to get stuck in time!" β
"Hehe, I won't open it at home all of a sudden, so I'll keep you waiting."
Seeing that he replied a little embarrassed, I estimated that most of it was the women in his family, so I didn't care and said, "It's okay, the time is just right, don't sit still, order a drink first, right?" β
He nodded, ordered a cup of coffee casually, and then said straight to the point, "Team Cheng, you and I both know the purpose of meeting today." Everyone is a cheerful person, I'll just say it straight! β
When I saw that he was so happy, I pushed the boat down the river and said, "Okay!" That's the best. β
Tang Jiaqiang smiled alone, "The person you accidentally saw today must already know who it is, right?" β
"If I'm not mistaken, it's Xie Tingfeng, right? What does he have to do with you? β
He sighed and said, "My father-in-law. β
I was shocked by his words, and asked him a little uncalmly, "You mean he is your father-in-law?" So the daughter of the sea, no, I mean Xie Huanchu is your wife? β
"Yes, that's right. But she is not married, and you know for whatever reason, she can't get an ID card. β
At this moment, I really wanted to smoke a cigarette to calm my mood, but Starbucks banned smoking, so I had to pour a big sip of coffee to suppress my emotions a little, "It's so surprising to me, to be honest, I thought about various reasons before you came, but I never thought it was the result." β
Tang Jiaqiang smiled self-deprecatingly, "If it were me, I wouldn't have thought of it." β
"Can you tell me?"
"I came here today to tell you, some things have been held in my heart for a long time, and I am too tired."
"I've known Xie for almost five years, and that year I was on a mission to do investigation work near her home."
"Her home is also within the scope of the investigation, and you also know the investigation procedure, which is nothing more than a simple inquiry, registration of documents and other things. When I arrived at her house, both father and daughter were at home, and after questioning, they were directly excluded. β
"When I was registering my documents, Xie Huanyu couldn't get anything, and out of the police's intuition, I was going to take her back for an investigation first. Unexpectedly, Xie Tingfeng heard that I was going to take away his daughter, and knelt down directly in front of me and begged me to let Xie Huanfu go, but he couldn't say why, just blindly begged me. β
The more he was like this, the more suspicious I became, and after I refused a few times, Xie couldn't stand it anymore. She tore open her high collar and exposed the gills-like organs on either side of her neck and said to me, let me see it myself. β
"I was shocked at that moment, but I was not afraid, I just sympathized with the father and daughter, thinking that it was just a deformity. In the same way, I also thought that the reason why Xie Huantao couldn't get the documents was due to the deformity on his body, and seeing that they were pitiful and really had nothing to do with the case I wanted to investigate, I just let them go. β
"Later, the case was closed, but I couldn't rest assured that Xie Huan's father and daughter were there, so I went to visit them every once in a while, and we became acquainted with each other."
"I don't know if you've seen it, she is really beautiful, especially her sea-blue eyes, which make people look very comfortable and feel calm. At that time, although I was in my early thirties, I had never been in a relationship due to work, and after being in contact with her for a long time, I suddenly felt that I was in love with her. β
"She was only 22 years old at the time, which belonged to the age of the beginning of love, and gradually had a good impression of me, but she has always been reluctant to go further with me because of her own physical reasons."
"But in the end, I couldn't stand my pursuit, so I was with me, and the two of us knew in our hearts that this relationship could only be hidden in the dark, so we found a day casually and had a simple meal at her house, even if we were married."
