At the entrance of the room, it was not Li Yajuan's younger brother Xiang Tianliang who was standing, but Xiao Jiannan, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Brigade of Qinghe District Public Security Sub-bureau.
Xiang Tianliang and Xiao Jiannan almost simultaneously found the secret room, on the 12th floor of the Rongxin Hotel. The top floor was the management office area, and behind a bookshelf in the general manager's office was the door to the secret room. This relatively primitive design did not stump the clever Xiang Tianliang and the old hand Xiao Jiannan.
Xiao Jianan did not let Xiang Tianliang enter, this was also to protect Xiang Tianliang, after all, the people in the secret room were once a couple, and Wang Daohong was also a person with a national emblem on his head.
But as soon as he saw Xiao Jianan, Wang Daohong's eyebrows furrowed and his face changed.
Everyone is a fellow traveler, and although they don't interact much with each other, they have a deep understanding of one another. In the downtown area of Qinghe City, there are two police officers who cannot be easily trifled with: Yu Zhonghao from the Municipal Bureau and Xiao Jiannan in front of us, a stubborn guy who won't even give an inch to the municipal party committee leaders.
"Lao Xiao, what do you mean by this? Are our conversations between husband and wife also within your jurisdiction?"
"Haha, how dare you. Xiao Jianan sat down with a big smile and raised his legs, laughing and saying, "Old Wang, isn't that right? As far as I know, your current wife is not this one. Could it be that Old Wang has two wives at the same time?"
Wang Dao Hong angrily said: "Xiao Jian Nan, mind your own business, don't forget that this is the Rong Xin Hotel under Qinghe Prison."
Xiao Jiannan's face changed suddenly, "Old Wang, don't forget that the Rongxin Hotel is located on my turf. We received a tip-off report that there are human traffickers who kidnapped a woman and took her into your hotel. I am here to investigate under orders. If the Rongxin Hotel does not cooperate, we will deal with you according to the crime of harboring and hiding."
At this time, before Wang Daohong could speak, Li Yajuan rushed to open her mouth.
"Captain Xiao, I want to report a case."
"Oh, who are you?" Xiao Jiannan pretended to be confused.
"I am Li Yajuan, Director of the Office of the Municipal Construction Bureau."
"Oh... go on."
"I was on a business trip with the inspection team from Longqiao County and was taken away by this person on my way home, brought here against my will."
Xiao Jian asked with a serious tone: "Comrade Li Ya Juan, please confirm again, you didn't come here voluntarily?"
"Yes, I was forced to be brought here."
"Don't beat around the bush, just answer yes or no." Xiao Jiannan said with a straight face, "I'll ask you again, are you willing to go to the Public Security Bureau to cooperate with our investigation?"
"Yes."
"Alright, come with me then."
Xiao Jian stood up, and Li Ya also followed suit.
Wang Dao Hong blocked the door, "Xiao Jian Nan, you mustn't be too arrogant."
Xiao Jiannan smiled and said, "Old Wang, don't be angry, I'll let you know that the two big fools you sent are now in my interrogation room."
"What did you say... I don't understand what you're talking about." Wang Daohong's face turned pale again, in front of Xiao Jiannan, this police officer was just a side dish to go with his wine.
Xiao Jiannan pushed Wang Daohong away, "Everyone is a sensible person, Old Wang, you'd better take care of yourself."
After finishing speaking, Xiao Jianan and Li Yajuan walked out of the secret room.
Outside the office, the figure of someone heading towards the dawn was nowhere to be seen. "Damn it, this kid runs faster than a rabbit." Xiao Jianan said to Li Yajuan, "Comrade Li Yajuan, hurry up, your adopted brother is waiting for you downstairs."
Two people took the elevator downstairs and as soon as they exited the Rongxin Hotel gate, they immediately saw Xiang Tianliang sitting on the hood of a sedan.
"Little Akira..."
Li Ya-jun choked with sobs and tears gushed out.
"Sister, sorry, we're late... you get in the car first, we'll talk when we get home."
Xiang Tianliang and Jiang Yuying together helped Li Yajuan onto the vehicle.
Xiao Jian Nan walked over.
"Thanks." He stretched out his hand towards Tian Liang.
"Is that all you have to say?"
He glanced at Tian Liang and said, "What else do you want? The people's police are for the people. Do you still want a red envelope?"
"What a great guy who can turn his face and not recognize people." Xiao Jiannan said with a smile.
Xiang Tianliang also smiled, "I gave you two old corns, and you haven't thanked me yet. If you think it's not enough, if you have the guts, then go collect that corn stalk from Wang Daohong."
Xiao Jiannan chuckled a few times, shaking his head and said: "I'll hitch a ride with you guys, I want to have a talk with you."
Xiang Tianliang did not stop Xiao Jiannan, and the two people sat side by side in the back seat of the car.
"Little brother, don't you think things are getting more and more troublesome?"
Xiao Jian Nan's face swept away its playful color, replaced by a serious and solemn expression.
"How did you know?"
Xiang Tianliang is well aware of it, so he asked, how could he not know? The person who can make Wang Daohong behave in such an extreme way must not be an ordinary person.
Xiao Jiannan said, "Don't be confused, you're actually very clear. The gloves on your hands are not only covering others, but also covering yourself. Let's cooperate and work together to take off the gloves."
"Haha, Sister Li, Sister Jiang, listen, Captain Xiao is so righteous, he wants to help us, what do you think we should do?"
Jiang Yuying said: "I seriously suspect Captain Xiao's motives."
Li Yajuan said: "Thank you Captain Xiao, at least you don't dare to rob openly"
Xiao Jian's face turned slightly red as he smiled awkwardly, "I've had people keeping an eye on you, it's also a way of protecting you in disguise."
"Shut up." Xiao Jianan spat towards the sky, "If it weren't for the fact that you actually helped me, I would have been rude to your subordinates a long time ago."
"Alright, alright, little brother."
He paused for a moment, then said to Tian Liang: "Officer Xiao, no matter what, I still want to thank you. You are one of the few people I respect since I started working in Qinghe. Please rest assured, I will figure out this puzzle. If everything goes smoothly, it shouldn't take long."
Xiao Jianan hummed in agreement, "To be honest, little brother, I'd suggest you look up your connections from university, from top to bottom, it'll be easier that way."
It's better not to mention it, but once brought up, Xiang Tianliang can't help but smile bitterly.
"Alas, I'm now mired in a sea of bureaucratic red tape, how can I still show my face to teachers and classmates?"
"To my younger brother, as long as you say the word, Xiao Jianan will arrive at any time."
Xiao Jian left by car heading south.
Back at Jiang Yuying's home, the two women didn't have time to talk and were busy cleaning up the messy house.
They all had a hard time, the two sisters-in-law were very close, and he let out a sigh of relief in the dim light, fearing that they would start fighting as soon as they met.
Finally, the sisters-in-law cleaned up the house and returned to Xiang Tianliang's side.
Xiang Tianliang was deep in thought, thinking about something.
"Xiao Xiang, what are you thinking?" Jiang Yuying asked with concern.
"I wonder who is hiding behind and manipulating Wang Daohong."
Li Yajuan immediately replied:
"I know who he is."
