Detective Files II

Chapter 146 The Last Minute

"Tomorrow?" Xing Junting was taken aback when he heard Tian Mi's words, then nodded and smiled: "Great!"

"Well, you can pack up your things tonight, and I'll let the others know when I'm having dinner." Tian Mi also nodded to him.

"Lao Jiu's side, is everything going well?" Lu Xiangdong pointed out something, but asked very reservedly.

"It can be considered quite smooth, otherwise I can't decide that everyone will leave Yunding Village and return to City C tomorrow." Tian Mi replied with a straight waist and a pompous attitude.

"Then Old Ninth...?"

"Go back with us tomorrow." Tian Mi said on her lips, counting the number of people again, then turned her head and told An Changpu: "Call them and tell them to get a bigger car, otherwise they won't be able to sit in it."

"Don't worry, counting Lao Jiu, there are ten of us in total, five of them can be seated in the car I drove, and they can all sit in any car they want."

"Look at me, I forgot about your car, it didn't count at all."

Xing Junting stood aside and silently packed his simple luggage, and listened to them casually chatting about irrelevant topics. After a while, he hesitated and said, "Sorry, I don't know if I can ask."

Tian Mi and An Changpu stopped talking and looked at him, while Lu Xiangdong still flipped through the book in his hand without raising his eyelids.

"I want to ask, that old nine is also going back to City C together? Is it because he is suspected?" Xing Junting seemed to be afraid that he would ask something he shouldn't, and his tone of voice was not very sure.

Tian Mi said vaguely: "He will go back with us and assist us in our investigation."

Xing Junting bit his lower lip lightly: "Did I ask too many questions?"

"It's okay, you are also concerned about your friend's case. If it were me, I would do the same," An Changpu comforted him kindly: "But we also have discipline, and some things are hard to talk about before they are confirmed. I hope you can understand."

"I understand." Xing Junting nodded quickly.

Tian Mi sighed softly: "Actually, you are really nothing, the real 'one hundred thousand why' is difficult to deal with."

What she was talking about was none other than Hao Peng, who was inquisitive.

Sure enough, as Tian Mi expected, at the dinner table, when Tian Mi announced that everyone would leave Yunding Village and return to City C the next day, everyone, including Niu Fufu and his wife, showed expressions of relief. They all went back to the room to pack their things.

Only Hao Peng, who seemed to be transformed into Tian Mi's tail in an instant, kept following her asking questions.

"Why didn't I have any news before, and suddenly I can go back tomorrow?" When Tian Mi packed her belongings, Hao Peng sat on the stool beside her and asked eagerly.

Tian Mi glanced at him, but said nothing.

"Why don't you talk? Why did you suddenly decide to go back tomorrow?" Hao Peng didn't seem to mind Tian Mi's silence at all, and continued to ask persistently.

"What? I heard that I'm going back, aren't you happy? Don't want to go back?" Tian Mi was annoyed by his questioning, she simply threw the things in her hand, and stared at him with her hips crossed.

Hao Peng opened his mouth and replied with a grin: "Happy! Who would be unhappy to go home! What's the point of staying in such a ghostly place!"

"Then prepare to go home happily, and don't ask so many questions."

"Isn't this curious! Being able to go back, does it mean that the murderer has been found?" Hao Peng was not fooled by Tian Mi's serious expression, and asked again.

Tian Mi ignored him.

"Tell me, don't tell me who it is, I know you can't tell." Hao Peng lowered his voice, leaned forward, and deliberately created a mysterious atmosphere: "Just tell me, it's from the village What to do, if there is an inner ghost among the six of us, that's fine!"

"Where do you have so many questions?" Tian Mi was annoyed by the questions.

"It's in my head!" Hao Peng still had a playful smile: "Didn't I say it, I'm curious!"

"Curiosity kills the cat, go back and pack your things, don't ask nonsense." Tian Mi was so annoyed that she simply used her trump card: "If you continue to ask questions endlessly, I will regard this as a kind of guilty prying Yes! If you want to add suspicion to yourself, go ahead."

Hao Peng shrunk his neck, sighed with disappointment on his face, yelled that he was bored, and finally gave up the role of "tail", left the room, and went back to pack his things.

As soon as Hao Peng left, Tian Mi finally got her ears clean and breathed a sigh of relief.

Pilan didn't say a word for a long time, he had already packed up his simple things and sat aside, seeing Hao Peng left, then he came over and asked Tian Mi in a low voice: "Sister Tian Mi, is the murderer someone among us? "

Tian Mi looked at her helplessly, and then looked at Qin Lijuan who was sitting on the folding bed as if carelessly fiddling with her skirt, but she was actually listening to them with her ears up. For this kind of problem, instead of guessing wildly, you should take a good rest and prepare to go home tomorrow."

Pilan seemed to think that Tian Mi refused to reveal because of Qin Lijuan's presence. Although he didn't ask further questions, he didn't forget to give Qin Lijuan a dissatisfied look.

After a night's rest, the old cow woman came to call the door early the next morning as usual.

The difference from the past is that this morning I don’t know if it’s because I’m going home soon, everyone got up to wash up, and sat around the table to have breakfast. It’s not like usual, only a few people That's all.

The old cow woman seemed to be in a particularly good mood, and she cooked a very rich breakfast. Apart from a few homemade pickles and scrambled eggs, she also cooked several extra dishes.

"When are you leaving today?" Before dinner, she asked Tian Mi who was helping to carry the dishes while serving the meal.

Tian Mi counted the time and replied, "It should be around noon."

"Then let's go after lunch!" The old woman said enthusiastically, "Get on the bus for dumplings and get off for noodles. I'll make noodles in a while and make dumplings for you at noon!"

"Aunt Niu, why are you so happy today?" Seeing her so excited, Tian Mi couldn't help teasing her: "It seems that we've been annoyed by living here all this time?"

"Hey! You can't say that! When did I ever say I'm bothering you! I think you're pretty pleasing to the eye, little girl!" The old cow woman said happily, "I think, if you leave, it means killing people Things must be settled, and I feel at ease, otherwise I worry about whether there will be a murderer living in my house every day, and I can’t sleep well!"

Hao Peng, a curious baby, became a lot quieter because of his encounter with a wall the night before. Except for asking when he could come to the car a few times in the morning, he really didn't dare to inquire about extra things.

The arrival of An Changpu also made the two little girls, Qin Lijuan and Pilan, very shy, especially when Qin Lijuan, Tian Mi and the others first came to Yunding Village, she was coy in front of Lu Xiangdong, but later she found out that the other party was a bad girl. The freak who is easy to get along with started to stay away from him. Now that An Changpu is here, he is tall and handsome, and he is easy-going and easy-going. She doesn't look like a lethal person, which makes her refreshed again. When talking to An Changpu, her voice is very soft. Extraordinarily ladylike manners.

Even Piran quietly said to Tian Mi: "I thought the police officers were all fierce, but your colleague is quite handsome."

Tian Mi said this to An Changpu in private, but An Changpu was a little embarrassed by what she said.

Almost everyone in the serious crime team knows that other young men are happy to be praised for being handsome and handsome, but An Changpu is extremely disgusted with this. He never seems to think that his appearance is worthy of praise, but thinks that as a criminal policeman , should be as powerful as Ma Chunlei, or as tough as Cheng Feng, to be considered enviable.

The car from the Public Security Bureau arrived at noon, but they couldn't resist the enthusiasm of the old cow woman. They were still left to eat "get on the car dumplings". After eating, they took their luggage and prepared to get on the car and leave.

Tian Mi waited until the six students had boarded the minibus sent by the Public Security Bureau, then called Shang'an Changpu and went straight to Lao Jiu's house, directly stating the purpose of coming.

"What?" Lao Jiu stared wide-eyed after hearing what they said, and his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets: "Why do I want to go to City C?!"

"Please cooperate with our work." Tian Mi planned to try her best to persuade him.

"Don't go, don't go! Yesterday you came and didn't say anything! Now let me go with you all of a sudden! I don't need anyone to take care of my family's affairs?!" The old ninth boss was not happy, and he didn't listen to Tian Mi's words at all. .

An Changpu became angry, raised his eyebrows, and stared: "I told you yesterday? I told you so that you can run away early?!"

"You man! I didn't kill that man, why should I run away!" Lao Jiu also became angry.

When Tian Mi heard it, she took the opportunity to say something to him: "Since you have a clear conscience and nothing to hide, why don't you dare to go with me?"

"I didn't say I didn't dare! I..." Lao Jiu had an unreasonable expression on his face, blushed and his neck was thick, and he slapped his thigh for the last time: "I'm going to fight it out! I don't care about family matters! I'll go with you to pay back Can't you! Otherwise, I can't bear such a big hat on my head!"

After Lao Jiu simply packed up two changes of clothes, Tian Mi and the others set off for City C in the car from An Changpu.

It was dusk when they rushed back to City C, Tian Mi and their car drove into the yard of the Public Security Bureau shortly after the minibus arrived.

Seeing Lao Jiu getting off the car, the reactions of several college students were similar, and Piran was probably the strongest among them.

"What's going on here?" She asked Tian Mi in surprise: "Sister Tian Mi, why is Master here? Don't you doubt him?"

After finally persuading Pilan not to guess wildly, Tian Mi placed the others in the office of the crime team, and together with An Changpu and Lu Xiangdong, she went to find Cheng Feng and reported the current progress and next plan. one time.

After a brief exchange of opinions, Tian Mi walked out of Cheng Feng's office and said to the seven people waiting outside: "Those who live in this city, please do not leave the area of ​​C city without further notice from us. For the time being, we will arrange for you to stay in the hostel and wait for the news. Hao Peng, Xiao Yiran and Lao Jiu, the three of you stay here, and the others can leave with An Changpu, who will take you home and arrange accommodation. "
