chasing the dark

Chapter 244

There were other people in the office, so it was inconvenient to make a call, so Jiang Yu sent a message back and asked Lei Yongnian what was the matter.

The other party responded quickly and asked her if she had time tonight, and they met at the pig-killing restaurant last time.

There was nothing wrong with it anyway, so Jiang Yu agreed directly.

When I saw Lei Yongnian again, he still looked like he couldn't wake up.

The girl in the red coat is not here today, and the person who came into the private room to order food was a middle-aged woman.

Concerned about Ye Zhanzhou's injury, Jiang Yu specially ordered a few lighter dishes.

When the dishes were all served, Lei Yongnian looked at Ye Zhanzhou who was holding a spoon in his left hand: "Are you injured?"

"A little skin injury, it will be healed in two days." Ye Zhanzhou put down the spoon and asked, "Brother Lei, do you have any new discoveries?"

"I want to ask you, it's been such a long time, is there any progress?" Lei Yongnian picked up a piece of meat and chewed it in his mouth.

"It's not progress, but I have some new ideas." Ye Zhanzhou said, "I suspect that Ji Lesheng's death should be related to the engineering design he was in charge of at that time."

A light flashed in Lei Yongnian's eyes, but only for a moment, and he returned to his original appearance: "Jiang Jian has also thought of this possibility."

"Not just thinking about it?" Ye Zhanzhou leaned forward, "Brother Lei, since we want to cooperate, let's be more honest. Otherwise... we will go our separate ways."

"What do you mean by that?" Lei Yongnian looked up at him.

Jiang Yu on the side said: "Brother Lei, I know my dad. He is not a person who just wants to do nothing. If he just doubts and doesn't investigate further, the tragedy that will happen later will not happen. You clearly hold Things, but let us check it ourselves, then there is really no need for cooperation."

Lei Yongnian put down his chopsticks, picked up the wine glass and took a sip: "It's not that I won't give it to you, it's just..."

He paused and sighed: "Let's put it this way, our entry points may be different, and I'm afraid it may mislead you."

Jiang Yu hooked the corners of his lips: "I'm afraid someone else said that?"

Lei Yongnian smiled: "Why did someone else say what I just said?"

"If I'm not wrong, it's not very convenient for this person." Jiang Yu said shaking his left hand.

The smile on Lei Yongnian's face froze instantly, and Ye Zhanzhou also gave her a meaningful look.

The two of them had analyzed the seemingly befuddled archivist since their last meeting.They agreed that if Lei Yongnian was really as cowardly and ineffective as he had shown, Jiang Chengye would not have chosen him as his assistant.

The way he is showing now is just an illusion used to confuse others.

Moreover, he is not fighting alone, at least there are insiders behind him to advise him.

Of course, this is just speculation.Until he said the phrase "the starting point is different, for fear of causing misleading", Jiang Yu suddenly thought of a person.She did that, nothing more than she wanted to defraud Lei Yongnian.But judging from his expression, she really hit the spot.

After a moment of daze, Lei Yongnian smiled again: "Tell me, how did you find out?"

"You said it was because you saw me talking to Uncle Mu, you asked about it, and you knew my identity. Indeed, Uncle Mu mentioned my current work unit. But no one in the inspection court knew me, but the Municipal Bureau knew me Other than him..." Jiang Yu looked at Ye Zhanzhou, "There is also Deputy Director Qiao. No one knows who my father is, let alone what happened in my family. Who did you ask? Deputy Director Qiao? "

She shook her head: "It's not impossible, but it's too small."

"Just now you mentioned the question of the entry point, which reminded me of Mr. Duan. He often emphasized that we must learn to think in reverse. Maybe many criminal investigators have such experience. But Mr. Duan has another sentence behind, change the entry point, Maybe there will be new discoveries."

"So, I guess you know each other, and you have a very close friendship. And... you have known or paid attention to me, even before I went to the City Bureau's Criminal Investigation Detachment for an internship."

"As expected of Jiang Jian's daughter." Lei Yongnian slapped his hands, "The analysis is quite correct."

Jiang Yu was not complacent because of his praise, but asked, "Brother Lei, you met Teacher Duan through my dad, right? Were they close before?"

"Not only are they acquaintances, but they can be regarded as close friends." Lei Yongnian said, "When the old Duan was a criminal policeman, they cooperated. Because they can talk well, they have a good personal relationship. After your family had an accident, he still I went to see you two."

"It was so chaotic at that time. People came every day. I really don't have any impression." Jiang Yu was a little ashamed. She didn't know that her mentor and father were close friends until now.

No wonder old man Duan agreed to accept her as his disciple so readily, thinking that he was good enough. Now it seems that there must be an element of caring for the old man.

Lei Yongnian picked up his chopsticks again: "Come on, eat first, let's go find Lao Duan together some other day."

"Brother Lei, you didn't make a special trip to ask us to eat today, did you?" Ye Zhanzhou put down the spoon because it was awkward to eat with his left hand, grabbed a tortilla and gnawed on it.

Lei Yongnian ate it up, and said with a smack, "I wanted to talk about the case, since you all know that Lao Duan is also involved, why not ask him next time."

"Isn't Teacher Duan in Mingyang?" Jiang Yu asked.

"You guessed it right again." Lei Yongnian nodded, "Going out, the day before yesterday."

"It's not a guess this time." Jiang Yu was quite sad, "Seeing that the Chinese New Year is almost here, Teacher Duan has to go to see his wife."

"Isn't old man Duan single? Why is there a mistress?" Ye Zhanzhou asked suspiciously.

"I don't know the details, I only know that my wife is out of town..." Jiang Yu paused, "Buried out of town."

Ye Zhanzhou looked at Lei Yongnian: "What's going on?"

He only met old man Duan after he arrived at the Criminal Investigation Detachment of the Municipal Bureau. He had a lot of contacts at work, but he seldom talked about personal affairs. He only knew that he was a lonely old man.

Lei Yongnian sighed: "The old Duan came from the countryside. When I was in high school in the town, there was a female classmate with a good relationship, who was from the next village. People of their age were not as open as young people now, and they liked it." Keep it in your heart."

"It wasn't until they graduated from high school that the two of them became clear. The old Duan was admitted to the police academy, but the female classmate almost failed the exam. Her family didn't agree with her repeating the exam, so she found a job in the town. The old Duan's family conditions were not good. The female classmate saves money and helps him."

"Old Duan also has a conscience. After graduation, he started working and saved money for two years before going to her house to propose a marriage. The female classmate's family thought he was a policeman in the city, so they didn't make things difficult for them. In this way, the two got married smoothly. In the next year, the daughter-in-law became pregnant. The old Duan was busy all day long and had no time to take care of her, so he discussed sending her back to her hometown. The man was found after a month."
