Chapter 391 "Stringing It Together"
Wu Youhao looked at Lin Ruotang, he looked her up and down, his voice low,
"I never doubted you before..."
When Lin Ruotang heard this, his expression did not change.
"Oh? You doubt me now?"
Wu Youxiang frowned and said to Lin Ruotang:
"you…"
Seeing that he was about to say something, Lin Ruotang laughed.
In the dim light, she gave him a strange look.
"As long as you doubt me, no one will doubt me!"
The voice was so soft that Tian Jiaqing, who was eavesdropping nearby, couldn't hear what Lin Ruotang said at all. After saying this, when Lin Ruotang opened the door, Wu Youxiang grabbed her hand.
"what do you mean?"
Lin Ruotang looked at his hand, opened it, raised his head and said:
"Wu Youwang, don't you really understand?"
After Lin Ruotang entered the room and closed the door, his face became heavy.
Wu Youxiang also thought it through. He looked at his hands with flickering eyes. He understood that as long as he suspected Xie Wuwei and Lin Ruotang, everyone would not say it out loud, but would suspect in their hearts whether he had done something tricky to get Lin Ruotang.
He stood at the door of Lin Ruotang's house for a long time before turning around and leaving.
After he left, Tian Jiaqing opened the door and took a look. He had just heard a few words vaguely, what "suspicion"? Could it be that Wu Youxiang suspected Lin Ruotang?
Really weird?
Tian Jiaqing pondered for a moment before slowly closing the door.
The next day, in the morning.
When Xie Wuwei arrived at the station, he saw Feng Nian leading people out, and the two looked at each other.
Feng Nian felt heavy-hearted. He had always thought that Xie Wuwei was a good person, but from what he saw during this period, he had done nothing and had always been trying to smooth things over. In addition, the "parrot" mentioned by the informant last time made him doubt everyone in the gas station.
When Xie Wuwei saw his eyes, he calmly looked away and bit the bun in his mouth.
Arriving at Lin Ruotang's office, he took out the remaining buns from his arms.
“Hurry up and have breakfast…”
Lin Ruotang gave Tian Jiaqing a look, and Tian Jiaqing turned and left.
He looked at Xie Wuwei, and his eyes quickly dodged again.
When Tian Jiaqing left, he heard Xie Wuwei complaining,
"I don't know what's wrong with me, why don't I like to eat breakfast? This is not good, it's not good for my health. Why do I drink coffee in the morning? Look at how hard I've been working outside, I've lost so much weight..."
Lin Ruotang ate the hot buns and felt a rare sense of relaxation in her heart.
After Xie Wuwei came out, he came to Tian Jiaqing's office. Tian Jiaqing stood up and
"Thank you, Deputy Station Master..."
"Do you have something to tell me?"
Xie Wuwei stood at the door and asked with raised eyebrows.
Tian Jiaqing hesitated for a moment, shook his head, and said nothing.
But who is Xie Wuwei? He immediately saw that Tian Jiaqing was hiding something, and he immediately asked:
"Did Wu Youxiang go to see your Inspector Lin yesterday?"
Tian Jiaqing raised his head in surprise, then lowered it for a moment, not daring to say a word.
Tian Jiaqing didn't answer, but his expression was the best answer.
Xie Wuwei looked angry, but his heart felt heavy. Wu Youwang understood them and might have already started to doubt them.
He said nothing, just sneered.
Tian Jiaqing lowered his head even more. Wu Youxiang was still Wu Youcheng's brother. He felt a momentary embarrassment and discomfort when he thought of this.
Xie Wuwei came over and patted Tian Jiaqing on the shoulder, his eyes deep.
"You're good, boy!"
He handed the bun in his hand to Tian Jiaqing, pulled the corners of his mouth, and looked like he wanted to laugh, but couldn't.
"You look so skinny, eat something! Don't be like Inspector Lin and drink coffee in the morning. You need to eat breakfast. A grown man can't even hold a gun if he loses weight!"
After Xie Wuwei left, Tian Jiaqing looked at the buns in his hand and looked at Xie Wuwei's back with complicated eyes.
Meanwhile, Xie Wuwei went to Sun Yizhen's office.
Sun Yizheng raised his eyelids and saw Xie Wuwei. He continued to close his eyes and rest, then asked slowly:
"Did you find out anything?"
Xie Wuwei remained silent for a long time, and Sun Yizheng opened his eyes.
"Why don't you speak?"
Seeing this, Xie Wuwei whispered:
"I have some ideas..."
"If you have any ideas, just tell me!"
Seeing Xie Wuwei's expression, Sun Yizhen guessed that what he was going to say was not simple, and immediately sat up straight.
"Stationmaster, it's like this. Have you noticed that many of the things that happened at our station happened after Captain Feng came here?"
In fact, a lot of things happened after Lin Ruotang came, but because Sun Yizhen was also involved, he would not include himself in it, which can be regarded as a psychological blind spot.
Hearing Xie Wuwei's words, Sun Yizheng adjusted the legs of his glasses.
"You go on."
"Look, based on what happened yesterday, Captain Meng said he didn't see the Red Party members who killed the informant. Could it be that there weren't any Red Party members last night..."
After hearing this, Sun Yizheng reacted and stood up and looked at Xie Wuwei.
"Are you saying that Feng Nian is the Red Party member who killed the informant?"
Xie Wuwei's eyes flashed, but he didn't say that. He just said vaguely:
"I'm not sure. After all, Captain Feng is the only one who's talking about a lot of things right now. Besides, where do all these Red Party members come from in our station?"
Sun Yizheng was about to nod when he heard Xie Wuwei's next words,
"Why not just stop calling it the Secret Service and just call it the Underground Party Organization?"
This choked Sun Yizheng so much that he almost couldn't breathe. He glared at Xie Wuwei.
"How dare you say such nonsense? If people knew about it, both you and I would be in big trouble."
"Inspector Lin is my wife!"
Xie Wuwei said in a low voice, Sun Yizheng was helpless,
"She is the inspector, not your wife. Don't forget that."
Xie Wuwei's face was gloomy and he didn't know what he was thinking. He looked unhappy. Before Sun Yizheng asked, Xie Wuwei complained:
"Isn't Wu Youxiang just a deputy director? Who isn't a deputy?"
Seeing Xie Wuwei like this, Sun Yizheng blurted out:
"He went to see Lin Ruotang again?"
"Well, I went to see Lin Ruotang last night. I don't know what to say, but he insisted on saying it in the middle of the night."
Xie Wuwei muttered to himself, and Sun Yizheng, seeing this, asked tentatively:
"What did Inspector Lin say to Wu Youwang?"
"who knows…"
Xie Wuwei had a gloomy face, obviously unhappy.
Sun Yizhen was happy to see this, as it seemed that the gap between the couple was getting deeper.
He coughed and said to Xie Wuwei:
"Wait a minute, I'll call Inspector Lin and talk to her."
Xie Wuwei's expression softened, and he said to Sun Yizheng:
"The stationmaster advised her to come back early. Living outside is not a good idea. Wu Youxiang is not a good person. Back then..."
Having said that, Xie Wuwei stopped, as if he was worried about something.
Sun Yizheng guessed that the couple had a close relationship with Wu Youxiang, so he said to Xie Wuwei:
"We'll talk about this later. Let's talk about Feng Nian first."
Sun Yizheng pondered for a moment and spoke slowly.
"Tianjin Station is full of Reds. Do you think this alarmist talk is like the sparrow tactics used by the Reds during wartime?"
