Chapter 465 She Needs Shelter
"Then why is she staying at your hotel, and coincidentally staying in the room upstairs from you? Isn't that too much of a coincidence?" Zhuang Yanzheng still found it strange.
Su Miaoyi did not speak.
"It can't be because you're still angry about what happened back then and want to harm Yanzhou, can it?" Zhuang Yanzheng said.
"My brother was shot in the shoulder; any lower and it would have hit his heart." Su Miaoyi's expression instantly turned angry. "Who's really indignant here?"
"Jiang Xutong doesn't seem to know about this," Zhuang Yanzheng said.
Su Miaoyi pursed her lips: "I've noticed you know a lot. He's your older brother, isn't he?"
“He can only be my younger brother,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.
Su Miaoyi was silent for a while: "If they wanted to harm my brother, they wouldn't have waited this long. It's been almost a year; if they wanted to harm him, they would have done it long ago."
"We've expanded our search of surveillance footage from Weiyang Palace and are also locating her phone. We're investigating her whereabouts from all sides," Zhuang Yanzheng said. "We were already conducting a thorough search of Qianying at various intersections, and now we've been notified to check on one more person, mainly Qianying and Jiang Xutong, because we're worried they might be together."
Su Miaoyi nodded: "Maybe it's all just a coincidence. Hotels in Beijing and Shenyang are easy to stay in, and Weiyang Palace happens to have rooms available right now. The one upstairs from us doesn't even need renovation; we can move in immediately."
"Tell Yan Zhou to be more careful," Zhuang Yanzheng said.
Su Miaoyi nodded again, paused, and said, "Is there something wrong with the feng shui of the building upstairs in Weiyang Palace? Why do things keep happening?"
Zhuang Yanzheng was silent for a moment: "Won't there be a problem with that illegitimate child?"
“I saw that illegitimate child that day, and I didn’t sense anything wrong,” Su Miaoyi said. “Should we ask him again?”
"Okay." Zhuang Yanzheng went out to make the arrangements.
When I got back, I saw Su Miaoyi standing by the water dispenser, drinking water.
He drank one cup after another.
"Are you that thirsty?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.
"I swallowed a lot of wind," Su Miaoyi said. "It started to rise up and made me uncomfortable."
"Does drinking water help?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.
"I don't know," Su Miaoyi said. "Isn't it said that drinking more hot water should help? Hot water cures all diseases, right?"
"I have medicine here." Zhuang Yanzheng went to his desk to find the medicine. "I had similar symptoms before, and Yan Cheng gave me this medicine."
He looked it over and found that it had expired a year ago.
He sent the name of the medicine to the person and asked them to buy it.
Su Miaoyi said, "With such strong winds outside, Fan Ning was on the rooftop, jumping from building to building, just like in that 'Jump Jump' game. I thought to myself, this guy is definitely out of his mind."
“If it were me, I would have run out the front door as soon as I entered that abandoned bar,” Su Miaoyi said. “Oh, the U-lock is locked from the outside, so he probably couldn’t open it.”
She repeated what she had just said: "If it were me, after going up to the top floor, I would jump down and run on the ground. By the time I looked for her, she would have long since disappeared."
“He probably couldn’t jump down, so he could only run upstairs, looking for a place to get down,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.
"In the end, he was just too incompetent," Su Miaoyi said. "With such strong winds, jumping from one building to another against the wind must have taken a lot of effort. If he hadn't put in so much effort, I wouldn't have been able to catch him so easily later on."
Fan Ning is quite skilled, but he used up too much strength and is now exhausted.
"So I figured he must be a bit slow, so I started trying to fool him while you weren't here." Su Miaoyi took another sip of water. "But it turns out he's actually quite sharp."
"And then you improvised and made up a boyfriend and a tragic love story?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.
"Yes." Zhuang Yanzheng was also a little speechless.
"Anyway, I'm waiting for you, so I'll try to fool you if I can."
"Do you think he'll believe it?" Zhuang Yanzheng asked.
"Probably not," Su Miaoyi said. "We exchanged a few words, and he doesn't seem stupid."
She had barely finished speaking when there was a knock on the office door.
Zhuang Yanzheng called out, "Come in."
Qi Feng pushed the door open and came in. He first saw Su Miaoyi drinking water from the water dispenser, and then looked at Zhuang Yanzheng: "Captain Zhuang, Fan Ning wants to see Advisor Su."
Su Miaoyi paused as she was about to drink water.
Zhuang Yanzheng looked at her.
Su Miaoyi also looked at him: "I take back what I just said."
She then asked Qi Feng, "What did Fan Ning say?"
“I just questioned him in the interrogation room, and he didn’t say anything. He just remained silent. He only said one sentence: ‘If you want me to say something, let Su Miaoyi ask him.’” Qi Feng said.
Su Miaoyi took another sip of water, thought for a moment, and said, "Tell him I'm not here and I've gone home. Even if you call him back, it'll take a while."
Qi Feng looked at Zhuang Yanzheng.
Zhuang Yanzheng nodded.
"Okay." Qi Feng closed the door and left.
Zhuang Yanzheng said, "You went home to take care of your boyfriend, right?"
Su Miaoyi smiled and checked the time again. "I'll change my clothes in an hour and then go. I'll create the impression that I'm suffering because I have to take care of people and go to work at the same time."
Zhuang Yanzheng nodded: "Okay."
After drinking more water, Su Miaoyi felt better and sat back on the sofa: "Brother Zheng, who do you think exposed Jiang Xutong's father online?"
"No results found." After saying these four words, Zhuang Yanzheng suddenly remembered someone, "Xie Zhiyan?"
“I thought of him too,” Su Miaoyi said. “Xie Zhiyan’s technical skills have improved too quickly. If he did it, it would be very difficult to find out, especially since he is abroad. Moreover, Xie Zhiyan knows the most about this matter.”
Zhuang Yanzheng thought for a moment and said, "Xie Zhiyan only has a semi-finished product. In the scene you saw, Jiang Zhan had already told Xie Zhiyan the whole method, so why is it still a semi-finished product?"
“Either the method they gave him was wrong, or the people’s skills were lacking,” Su Miaoyi said. “This kind of thing also requires the skills of the researchers. Xie Zhiyan and Qian Ying are either looking for the right research method or looking for the right researchers.”
"So, either Jiang Xutong knows the research and development method, or Jiang Xutong is the technician they need, or the technician and Jiang Xutong have a very close relationship," Zhuang Yanzheng said.
"That's right. That's why Xie Zhiyan exposed Jiang Xutong online. If a rising star suddenly disappears, it will definitely cause a huge uproar. Public opinion will put pressure on them, and the police will have to give an explanation, so a thorough investigation is necessary. Xie Zhiyan probably doesn't want to deal with us frequently at this critical juncture. For him, the most important thing right now is to develop a new type of drug."
Su Miaoyi said, "If this celebrity had been blacklisted, there wouldn't have been so many problems."
Zhuang Yanzheng said, "Then Jiang Xutong's purpose in coming here is very likely..."
"Seeking asylum".
"She needs shelter."
The two of them said it together.
