Chapter 58: Buying Critters
Ah Chao received Zeng Lei's order and immediately contacted Yin Zhengyu and Li Jian and asked them to withdraw quickly.
Zeng Lei drove in a panic, guessing the purpose of Liu Xuanang and Li Manke's trip, while worrying about the safety of Yin Zhengyu and Li Jian. Because the original plan arranged for the two of them to go to the scene to cooperate with Zeng Lei, they found out what kind of medicine Zuo Tongtong had been receiving in the suburbs every Tuesday.
He was thinking in his heart when he received a call from Yin Zhengyu, "Brother Lei, your two old colleagues from the police force stopped Zuo Tongtong and the two delivery people and checked their documents and goods. It turns out that Zuo Tongtong is not buying medicine, guess what? ”
"Don't sell it, say it quickly!" Hearing Yin Zhengyu's panting voice, Zeng Lei was anxious.
Yin Zhengyu said: "It's actually a small animal!" Don't worry, I've taken it all. Let's not talk about it, they're coming soon. Don't go back, we'll meet at the detective office. ”
"Okay, Jungwoo, be careful!" Zeng Lei advised.
"Hmm." Yin Zhengyu answered and hung up the phone.
Small animals? What does she buy small animals for? Every Tuesday I come to the suburbs so far away to buy small animals? This is not normal! Besides, does it need to be so mysterious to buy any small animals? What kind of critter could it be? It can't be a cat or a dog, right? Is it a snake? Or a lizard? Zeng Lei sighed, a little self-reproachful, why didn't he ask clearly just now? Zeng Lei was puzzled, full of questions, and unconsciously drove from the flat road in the suburbs to the rugged side road.
He glanced at his surroundings, and there were two paths directly ahead, with bamboo forests on both sides. Faced with the fork in the road, Zeng Lei couldn't figure out the direction for a while, he was obviously lost. Now, he can only blame himself for not being familiar with the geographical location here, and he has to turn on the navigation in the car and decide to follow the navigation all the way back to the detective station.
On the way, Zeng Lei kept thinking about the accident and embarrassment when he just met Liu Xuanang and Li Manke. Although he used to be a police officer and could understand that they had the obligation and responsibility to keep the case confidential as a law enforcer, he still felt uncomfortable when he thought that he had long been regarded as an outsider by them, and when he thought of the attitude of his teammate Liu Xuanang, who had fought side by side, towards him. The matter has come to this point, no matter how hypocritical it is, it will not help, and solving the case as soon as possible is the most important thing.
Zeng Lei knew that Liu Xuanang and Li Man were from the disappearance case team, so it can be seen that they are also here for Zuo Tongtong today, which shows that his investigation direction is not wrong. Thinking of this, Zeng Lei suddenly doubled his confidence.
Zeng Lei looked at the navigation and stepped on the accelerator hard, he wanted to hurry back to the detective office. As soon as the car stopped near the detective office, he wanted to call Li Manke to inquire about the case. He sat in the car, his fingers slid on the mobile phone and flipped out the address book, and just dialed Li Manke's mobile phone number, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong and hung up immediately.
If you call Li Manke at this time, it will be to expose your intention to appear in the suburbs today without telling yourself. Not only did he take advantage of Li Manke's trust in him again, but he also put himself in a very embarrassing situation. After thinking about it repeatedly, Zeng Lei still gave up this idea.
Zeng Lei strode into the detective office, and when he saw that everyone was waiting for him, his mood instantly eased a lot, and the unhappiness in his heart before was swept away.
Yin Zhengyu asked Ah Chao to show everyone the video he recorded in secret, and at the same time explained the situation to everyone at that time.
Two middle-aged men appeared in front of Zuo Tongtong on the computer screen and handed Zuo Tongtong a document.
"Stop here and zoom in." Yin Zhengyu pointed to the computer screen and reminded Ah Chao.
Chao pauses the screen and enlarges the text on the document. A few big words are clearly written on it: Medical Laboratory Animal Purchase List. Here's a breakdown of the list: 200 mice and 100 big-eared rabbits.
"Sure enough, it's not medicines that are being bought, it's small animals." Although Yin Zhengyu had told Zeng Lei the truth for the first time, Zeng Lei was still a little surprised when he saw the list on the document.
Ah Chao continued to play the video, and Zuo Tongtong quickly signed the document. Then, the two men took out two cardboard boxes from the van and carefully moved them to Zuo Tongtong's trunk. Obviously, the transaction is over, and at this time, Liu Xuanang and Li Manke appear on the screen. The duo showed their documents to Zuo Tongtong and the two men and asked to check the contents of the cardboard box. When Zuo Tongtong opened the carton for Liu Xuanang and Li Manke to check, the picture clearly captured the active mice and juvenile big-eared white rabbits in the carton.
