Ran out of the teahouse towards the bright sky, found a public phone nearby, and dialed the number displayed on the pager.

  It was Li Yajuan who answered the phone, "Xiao Xiang, there's something important, come over quickly." Her tone was a bit anxious.

  Xiang Tianliang smiled into the phone and said: "Sister Li, don't be in a hurry, you have to tell me where you are, so I can come find you."

  "Ah... sorry, I'm currently at Xingfu Street in Nancheng District, do you know this place?"

  "I know, Director Yu's home is near Happiness Street."

  "Then hurry over, I'll be waiting for you at the convenience store on the corner of Happiness Street and North River Road."

  Qinghe is a coastal city, but its economic development lags behind other open cities. The urban area is not large, and there are not many taxis on the streets. However, motorcycles are plentiful, and one can easily hail one by stretching out their hand. I hailed a motorcycle at dawn and arrived at Happiness Street in less than 20 minutes.

  Xingfu Street is the most familiar place besides the Construction Bureau, Director Fu's home is in a lane on Xingfu Street, he has never been to other bureau leaders' homes, but often goes to Yu Feilong's home, and always walks, having walked through all the streets and alleys here.

  Most of the buildings here are from the 1970s and 1980s and it is one of several residential areas in Qinghe City.

  Xiang Tianliang didn't get off at Happiness Street directly, but instead entered from Beihe Road and soon arrived at the intersection of Ten Crossroads. At the entrance of that grocery store, Li Yajuan was waving at him.

  "Li jie, where is Ye jie?"

  "She is on the other side of the street, each looking at one side."

  "Hmm, quite professional." Xiang Tianliang followed Li Yajuan into the grocery store.

  The owner of the grocery store was a white-bearded old man in his fifties or sixties, who sat there and glanced at Xiang Tianliang before burying his head in his own business again.

  Just as Tian Liang was about to express his doubts, Li Yajuan whispered: "Don't worry, I told him I'm from the Public Security Bureau handling a case, and the old man is very cooperative. He's a bit hard of hearing, so we can talk freely."

  Fainted, this woman's guts are big enough, scared Tian Liang for a moment, with this excuse, he didn't dare to find fault.

  "Sister Li, you're really awesome!" Tianliang exclaimed, giving a thumbs up.

  "Of course, you think only your Ye Jie is capable." Li Yajuan proudly straightened her waist, and her chest touched Xiang Tianliang's body.

  Tian Liang's body shook as he was extremely sensitive about those two protruding points.

  A woman in her late thirties, with a hint of maturity, still retaining her charm, wearing a red dress that perfectly complements her slightly plump figure, looking elegant and refined.

  Xiang Tianliang felt a little uneasy because Li Yajuan was too close to him, the sudden fragrance that came rushing over, really made him a bit dizzy, his heart was startled again, and he hurriedly held his breath, the task was urgent, but he must not be distracted.

  Li Yajuan felt it and covered her mouth, giggling, "Little bird, you're really not used to this."

  "Sister Li, quickly tell me what's going on."

  "Ah, you're absolutely right! I was with Ye Nan in the car and we waited for less than 10 minutes when Chen Da Bao came out of the office building. He looked like he was in a hurry and seemed suspicious, so we followed him... He first went to your dormitory and after about 15 minutes, he came out with an old backpack in his hand. Then he got on a rickshaw and came all the way here. After getting off the rickshaw, he walked inside, and I also got off and followed him in. I knew that Director Yu Fu lived on this street, so I thought he was going to Director Yu's house, but unexpectedly, he turned into a small alley and entered a courtyard without a doorplate."

  He's grinning from ear to ear, Chen Dabao this guy, just spent a night at the Widow Sun's house, how come he's running around again in broad daylight?

  Li Yajuan pushed the arm of Xiang, who was facing the sky, "Xiao Xiang, I think Chen Dabao is the one who stole from the director's office. He has no relatives or friends in Qinghe, so why did he suddenly come here? The package in his hand might be carrying things stolen from the director's room."

  Xiang Tianliang smiled and said, "If that's really the case, then it would mean he hid the stolen things in the dormitory. Since I was the only one in the dormitory last night, wouldn't I have missed a great opportunity?"

  "Xiao Xiang, what shall we do next?"

  "Down there?"

  Li Yajuan's face suddenly turned red because she had misspoken.

  The local dialect of Qinghe. The word "down" has a special meaning, generally referring to the lower body, Li Yajuan inappropriately used it, and it's hard not to misunderstand Tianliang.

  People can control their thoughts, actions and language, etc., but they can't control some of their innate instincts, especially when they are young and full of vitality. At that time, certain parts of the body will lose rationality and expose themselves. Li Ayuan was close to Xiang Tianliang, almost within arm's reach, and could even hear each other's breathing sounds. For no reason, a highland suddenly rose in Xiang Tianliang's lower body, right in Li Ayuan's line of sight.

  "Naughty boy, you dare to be naughty at this time." Li Yajuan smiled shyly and stretched out her hand to gently tap the bulge on Tianliang's lower body.

  "Sorry, Sister Li..." Tian Liang's face turned red as she instinctively clenched her legs together, but unexpectedly, it had the opposite effect. The highland sea suddenly rose by several centimeters, instantly transforming into a towering mountain range that faintly bulged under her thin pants.

  Li Yajuan couldn't help but laugh.

  At this time, Ye Nan's Charade car came over and stopped in front of the grocery store, and Tian Liang and Li Ya Juan got out and bent into the car.

  "It's daylight, Sister Li, Chen Dabao has left from the street corner over there."

  "Run?" Li Yajuan said hastily.

  Xiang Tianliang asked: "Ye Jie, is he empty-handed or holding that bag?"

  "Now I see clearly, he is empty-handed."

  Li Yajuan said: "Why didn't you follow up?"

  Before Ye Nang could speak, Xiang Tianliang smiled and said, "No need to follow him, he'll be back."

  "How did you know he would come back?" Ye Nang asked curiously.

  Xiang Tianliang smiled and asked: "Do you know whose house is the yard that Chen Dabao just entered?"

  Two women shook their heads simultaneously, "Don't know."

  "Sun's widow, you all know, right?"

  Ye Nan exclaimed: "Is it Sun Qiao Xian's?"

  Toward Tianliang nodded, "Right."

  "She can't live here, her home is clearly on the other side of Xiaqing River. After her husband died, I even went to her house to offer condolences."

  "This I don't know, anyway I just know that the woman living in that courtyard is named Sun Qiao Xian."

  Li Ya-jun and Ye Nan suddenly thought of something, both people simultaneously stared at each other with their eyes wide open.

  "Daybreak, have you been to Sun Qiaoxian's home?"

  Xiang Tianliang hastily explained, "No, no, I've never been there. I just heard the name Sun Qiaoxian from you."

  Li Ya-jiao smiled and asked: "Then how did you know that was where Sun Qiao-xian lived?"

  Xiang Tianliang couldn't help but smile wryly, and the two women had a bit of a misunderstanding, misinterpreting him.
