Strongest Worker

It was not evening, but it was dark. Dark clouds are piling up, as if it would rain at any time.

Weather experts say that if a drizzle can fall this week, summer will come early.

The silver plate was filled with exquisite dishes. Luo Biao sat at the table and gently shook the wine glass.

"After this meal, let's go to the police station." he turned his head and looked at his wife Liu Li. "Don't think about it. Anyway, he is my brother. This meal is not a celebration, but a memorial."

"I can't imagine..." Liu Li sighed softly. "How could big brother... How could he do such a thing."

Luo Biao said faintly, "thirteen years ago, I just went to junior high school. Sister Miao was nice to me. I also felt suspicious when she suddenly quit her job, but I didn't expect... I didn't expect..."

Liu Li's face changed slightly and suddenly grabbed Luo Biao's hand: "elder brother, shouldn't he be wronged?"

The glass shook violently and a little liquid spilled. Luo Biao turned his head and stared at his wife without blinking: "you can't be wrong if your sister-in-law testifies. Why do you suddenly think so?"

"After all..." Liu Li hesitated. "Didn't Mr. Zhao live there before, I think..."

"It's totally different. How long has Mr. Zhao been here? It's impossible to deduce the murder case more than ten years ago. Don't talk nonsense. Moreover, I just called a friend of the police station. Elder brother has confessed to sister Miao's case."

Liu Li withdrew her hand and gently nodded her head.

"Eat quickly. We'll go to the police station and liquidate the ancestral heritage in the secret room." Luo Biao said, "brother, this time it's completely planted. The two of us will be the masters of the Luo family and have to shoulder the big responsibility."

He put down his glass and moved the plate in front of him. After hesitating for a while, Luo Biao suddenly frowned: "I heard that my eldest brother took several people to dig the well in the backyard at night before he decided to sell his ancestral house. He may have planned to remove the body, but it was a pity that he didn't succeed."

"If you succeed, you won't be found," Liu Li said softly, "but... Why didn't you succeed?"

Luo Biao put the steak into his mouth with a vague voice: "it's estimated that he met Mr. Zhao. The saying that the ancestral house was haunted came from that time. Brother is really. The more he was afraid, the more he wanted to sell the house, but he took himself in faster."

As soon as the voice fell, there was a knock on the door outside the restaurant.

Luo Biao raised his head, looked at his wife Liu Li, and then said in a deep voice, "come in."

The door opened slowly, and Li Qing appeared at the door with a faint smile: "sorry, I really didn't mean to eavesdrop. But which Mr. Zhao did you just mention?"

"Li Qing?" Luo Biao suddenly sank and stood up. "How did you get in?"

"I went through the back door." Li Qing walked into the restaurant with a smile and took the door with her backhand. "It seems that your Luo family has quit many people recently, but I didn't see anyone stop me."

"I invite you out. The Luo family doesn't welcome you!"

"Is this your attitude towards talking to the owner of the Li family?" Li Qing pulled a chair and gently sat opposite Luo Biao. "A small Luo family, very rampant."

Luo Biao's body suddenly stagnated and immediately took a deep breath: "what else do you want to do to hurt my eldest brother like that?"

"Luo Jun committed his own sin. He can't live. He can't blame me." Li Qing put one hand on the table and tapped the table with his index finger. "I have something to ask you. If you answer well, we'll all be happy."

Luo Biao stared: "what if I don't answer!"

Li Qing twisted his fingers and stared at him with a smile: "then I'll erase the Luo family from Mingtai."

He spoke so easily as if he were talking about what to eat in the evening, which made Luo Biao's pupils shrink suddenly.

Liu Li's cheeks were pale. She grabbed her husband Luo Biao's arm and shook it gently, winking at him.

After a long confrontation, Luo Biao finally lost the battle: "what do you want to ask?"

Li Qing nodded with satisfaction: "I heard that you are a regular guest of Tianyu family..."

"Who told you?"

Li Qing narrowed her eyes and stared at him without talking.

Luo Biao looked at him carefully again, and a surprised look suddenly appeared at the bottom of his eyes: "that night... It was really you?"

"It doesn't matter," Li Qing said. "I just want to ask you if you know a young man named Zhao Zhen. He often haunts Xingfa island."

Luo Biao replied without hesitation: "I don't know."

Li Qing's face sank in an instant: "say it again?"

"I really don't know."

"Well, tell me, who is the man hiding in the secret room of your Luo's old house the other day?"

Luo Biao was stunned, and there was some uncertainty in his words: "I know his surname is Zhao. I usually call him Mr. Zhao, but I really don't know... His name is Zhao Zhen."

Li Qing looked at him for a while and found that he didn't seem to be lying, so he asked, "how did you know him? How did he run to your house?"

"I've seen him several times before. I feel that this man is young, but he has a high position in Xingfa island. His identity should not be simple." Luo Biao replied, "about last week, I went to a party and happened to leave Xingfa island in the same boat with him. I wanted to have a relationship with him, so I invited him home. Unexpectedly, he agreed."

Li Qing nodded and didn't speak. Luo Biao continued: "chatting on the road, I mentioned that my family was about to sell the old house, and he said he wanted to see it. Then... After he saw it, he asked to stay, and I can't refuse."

"Aren't you surprised?"

"I know he's hurt and who he's hiding from, and I've given him food several times." Luo Biao answered honestly, "but the conditions he put forward are too generous. As long as I keep it secret, he will help me revive my ancestral career. I believe he has this ability, and he can't refuse it at all, nor dare he refuse."

"Do you know he's hiding in a secret room?"

Luo Biao shook his head: "I don't know. I heard that the house is haunted. I guess it's because Mr. Zhao is hiding. As for which room he lives in, I don't know and don't have the courage to ask."

"You are really a good dog." Li Qing stood up. "The last question, where is he now?"

"I don't know. I haven't been in touch for a long time."

Zhao Zhen was cautious and careful. Li Qing didn't hope for the last question. There was no surprise to hear his answer.

"Don't delay you two." the voice fell, and Li Qing turned and went out of the door.

After more than ten seconds of silence in the restaurant, Liu Licai carefully got up, came to the door of the restaurant and looked out.

She closed the door and loosened her body, "let's go."

"HMM." Luo Biao nodded, sat back in his chair and picked up his knife and fork again.

Liu Li said, "Mr. Zhao was hiding from Li Qing?"

Luo Biao threw down his knife and fork again, got up and walked out: "let's go to the police station."

The two hurried out of the main door. Luo Biao gave orders to a bodyguard: "go drive and go to Mingtai police station."

"Yes." the bodyguard answered, turned and trotted away. Soon a car came and stopped in front of Luo Biao.

He opened the door and sat in with Liu Li.

The driver started the car and drove out of Luo's house. He asked slowly, "boss, where are you going?"

"Go to Mingtai police station." Luo Biao looked irritable. "I already said, what do you remember..."

The driver turned his head and lifted his hat.

Seeing his appearance, Luo Biao suddenly stiffened: "Zhao... Mr. Zhao?"

Zhao Zhen turned his head to continue driving and asked with a smile, "did you tell Li Qing?"

"I... I..." Luo Biao tightly grabbed his wife Liu Li's hand. Both of them were pale.

"I'm just asking." Zhao Zhenman said carelessly, speeding up and surpassing a white sports car parked on the roadside.

He glanced out of the window, and a faint smile came out of his mouth. Li Qing was standing next to the white car. He had just opened the door and sat in the driver's seat.

"Hoo." Li Qing took the door and sighed, "it's still a step late."

He was about to drive away when his cell phone suddenly rang.

Li Qing took out her mobile phone and pressed the answer button. Zhong Ruoxi's pleasant voice came to her ear: "what are you doing recently?"

"Yo, do you care about me?" Li Qing gently picked the tip of her eyebrows and immediately replied, "I'm tracking down Zhao Zhen. I just found a clue, but it's broken again."

"Oh."

Li Qing's face changed slightly: "what's up?"

"Nothing, just to remind you."

"Hiss." Li Qing gasped, "you seem very happy tonight? What do you remind me?"

"Remind you to read the newspaper tomorrow morning."

"Ah? You..."

As soon as Li Qing's words were out, Zhong Ruoxi hung up, leaving him sitting in the car in a daze.

He returned to his mind and couldn't understand it: "read the newspaper? What newspaper? Has something big happened again?"

"What's the matter?" Li Qing shook his head, started the car and drove forward for a while, stopping outside the Luo's old house.

As the saying goes, "the most dangerous place is the safest". In addition, Zhao Zhen is a guy who likes to do the opposite. Li Qing thinks it is entirely possible for him to return, so he decides to wait here.

While squatting in the car, he called Su Xiaomei.

"Hello?"

"Xiaomei, I won't go back tonight. Sleep by yourself."

"Are you going too far?" Su Xiaomei said in a bad tone. "You want to spend the night with that woman? Then you just die outside and don't come back!"

Li Qing smiled bitterly: "I'm squatting outside the old house of the Luo family. I'm alone. Man Xuan went back to rest." Su Xiaomei was surprised: "ah? What are you doing back?" "I just found out..." Li Qing said with a slight pause. "The guy hiding in the secret room is Zhao Zhen."
