Chapter 236 Meeting Together

"Dacheng, are you going to work?"

"Ah? No need."

"Didn't Brother Xiaotong come here to ask you to go back to work?"

"No." Li Yancheng turned around and closed the gate to the yard, smiled and shook his head: "It is true that there is something, but I don't need to go back to work now."

Hearing that her man didn't have to go to work, Luo Min was obviously relieved.

While walking towards the backyard, Li Yancheng reached out and touched his wife's hair. Well, it felt good and he liked the feeling all of a sudden. However, her hair was a little short, so he had to let her grow it longer in the future so that it would feel better to touch.

"Why, are you worried that I'm going to work?"

"Yeah," Luo Min nodded without any pretense. She turned her head and looked at the man beside her and said, "I understand that you are busy with work, and I support your work, but..."

"But today is our big day. If I'm not by your side, you'll be sad, right?"

"Yeah," she nodded very decisively.

She didn't care whether today was too simple or whether anyone came to say a word of blessing.

She just wanted to stay quietly with her man, even for one day.

After all, today is the most important day in her life, and she hopes her man can be with her.

"Don't worry, my wife. I'm not going anywhere today. I'll just accompany you."

"it is good"

Luo Min smiled. Compared to when she smiled at others and just curled up the corners of her mouth, this smile was much brighter.

Looking at the smile on the face of the woman who had become his wife, Li Yancheng felt that his ancestral grave must have been on fire in his previous life. Not even smoke could be emitted, so it must have been on fire.

Otherwise, why would God not only kick him back, but also give him such a beautiful wife.

"Let's go inside!"

Just as he was immersed in his wife's smile, he suddenly felt his hand tighten.

When he looked down, he saw his wife's tender white hand holding his hand.

"Come on, let's go inside and paste paper cutouts. Zhihai's mother-in-law cut out a few double happiness for us and put them in the desk drawer. Let's paste them up."

"I saw it, my mom and sister also cut it for us, and I was pasting it in the room just now.

I also changed the bed sheets, which were also brought by my mother, and they were bright red. "

"Wow, my mother-in-law prepared so many things for me. I just regretted forgetting to buy red cloth. I really have to thank her.

Let me go back to the house and show you how much money I have saved over the years."

"Are you still saving money?" Luo Min was a little surprised. She had seen this man eat so well every day, either meat or chicken, and often bought meals from restaurants. She thought he would spend all his salary every month.

"Of course I save money. Hey, let me tell you, we have quite a bit of savings."

At this moment, Li Yancheng was like a child who had done something he thought was remarkable and was trying to take credit for it from his parents.

Seeing her husband's proud expression that also looked like he was seeking praise, Luo Min pursed her lips and smiled gently.

"You are really amazing. I always thought you couldn't save any money. How much money have you saved?"

"You'll know when you come into the house."

"Dacheng, let me make it clear first, don't mention anything like letting me be the boss in the future. This is a family between the two of us, so we can just discuss everything together.

As for the money you saved, it will remain the same as before. When I get paid in the future, I will put it together with your money.”

Luo Min paused for a moment, then continued a little embarrassedly: "My salary is a little low, just over 18 yuan. Dacheng, how much is your current salary?"

The two of them had already walked to the door hand in hand. When Li Yancheng heard his wife asking about his salary, he lifted the door curtain and walked in, replying, "One hundred and seven including the job salary."

"So many! My man is so amazing."

To be honest, if he didn't know clearly that his new wife had this kind of personality, when he saw her saying such compliments with almost no expression on her face, he would definitely think that she was being perfunctory and mocking.

"That's right, you are a man with many strengths."

Unfortunately, Luo Min couldn't understand the meaning behind what he said for the time being.

……

Just when Li Yancheng was showing off his treasure to his wife at home, Duan Bingyi, the leader of the third group of the Security Department, was leading his men to conduct a thorough search of Yin Anda's house.

Originally, the search should have been conducted overnight, but the leaders of the project team and the instrument factory raised objections.

Some of these people still had a glimmer of hope, wondering if Yin Anda was delayed by something outside, or simply didn't want to go home. It wasn't as exaggerated as the people from the Social Affairs Bureau said, that he had absconded or been silenced.

The work of the Social Affairs Bureau is indeed very difficult at times, especially the Security Department.

Their work is mostly internal, unlike the first and second offices, whose work is generally more external.

Internally, you are often not understood.

If the protective measures are too strict, some people will think they are making a fuss out of nothing, and some even think they are deliberately tormenting people.

The people in the Social Affairs Bureau are also very troubled by these intellectuals. They cannot treat them lightly or harshly. After all, many of them are truly selfless and dedicated, and they admire these people deeply.

But admiration aside, work still has to get done.

The reason why Yin Anda’s home could be searched at this moment was that Deputy Director Guan went over and slammed the table with Director Zhang of the Research Institute, and handed him a statement of refusal to cooperate with the work and asked him to sign it.

Dean Zhang didn't dare to sign such a thing, so he pinched his nose and nodded in agreement.

At this point, Yin Anda had been missing for almost twenty-four hours.

……

"Team leader, why does Yin Anda like taking pictures so much?"

The search of Yin's house was very thorough, and they almost dismantled all the furniture.

Duan Bingyi leaned against the living room window sill and looked into the house, his eyes scanning here and there. At this time, a member of Group 3 who was responsible for searching the bedroom came out with a stack of things in his hand.

"Take a photo?" Duan Bingyi frowned and took the stack of things handed over by the team member.

This stack of things are all photos packed in paper bags like those found in photo studios, including one-inch half-body photos and full-body photos.

Duan Bingyi looked at the dates written on the paper bags one by one. The earliest one was taken at the end of the 17th year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, which was two and a half years ago, and the latest one was taken last month.

but……

What's the point of taking so many one-inch photos?
He poured out all the photos in a paper bag and counted them. There were eight of them. This was useless. One-inch photos would take eight photos to be developed at a time.

I took the photo, developed it, but I don't use it. What's the point? Doesn't it cost money?

Duan Bingyi was stunned for a moment, then he emptied out all the other bags containing one-inch photos and counted them. They were all like this. These photos were useless.

There are a total of six paper bags containing one-inch photos, which means forty-eight photos.

There were also three bags containing three five-inch full-body photos, making a total of nine paper bags.

He took out the three full-body photos and looked at them. When he saw one of them, he suddenly felt something was wrong, so he brought the photo closer and examined it carefully.

"Hong Jun, come and take a look. Is Yin Anda talking in this photo?"

The team member who delivered the photo took the photo and looked at it. Compared with the other photos, there was not much change in Yin Anda in this photo except for the clothes he was wearing.

The only obvious thing is that in this photo, his mouth is slightly open, and his eyes give people the feeling that he is talking, and the person he is talking to should be the person taking the photo.

"They should be talking. Team leader, let's not talk about these three full-body photos. He took so many half-body photos just for their own use. He could have just used the negatives to develop them. Why did he take new photos? Even if his family has two working parents, they don't have so much money that they would spend it recklessly, right?"

"Right, so there must be something wrong with the photo studio he went to."

Duan Bingyi had placed the nine paper bags side by side on the windowsill. On the bags were the names, addresses and mailboxes of the photo studios, all of which belonged to the same company.

"I remember this address is not far from the instrument factory, right?" "Yes, it's the first street corner on the east side when you go out the back door of the instrument factory."

"Hu..." Duan Bingyi exhaled lightly and called out in a louder voice: "Lao Du..."

"Hey"

As he shouted, a figure popped out from another bedroom.

Du Shuiwang, deputy leader of Group 3.

"Old Du, you lead them to search first, and be sure to search carefully. I found a clue here, take Hong Jun over to have a look."

"Row"

"Come on, Hongjun, let's go check out this photo studio."

"Yes"

……

Ten minutes later, when Duan Bingyi and his team member Hong Jun arrived at the intersection where the photo studio was located, they suddenly saw an acquaintance.

Sun He, deputy chief of the Investigation Section of Operations Division 1.

Sun He happened to see the two of them. After being stunned for a moment, he quickly winked at them and turned to walk in another direction.

"Team Leader Duan, you guys are not here for the photo studio at the intersection, are you?"

Sun He stopped after turning the corner. Seeing Duan Bingyi and Hong Jun following him, he asked hurriedly without waiting for them to speak.

"That's right"

When Duan Bingyi heard Sun He ask this, he immediately understood that their two clues coincided with each other.

"Deputy Section Chief Sun, when did you find out about the photo studio?"

"Yin Anda's sister Yin Anxin said that the old couple of the Yin family were in poor health. We didn't dare to go there directly, so we first went to his sister's workplace, the grain and oil store under the Pingchang County Grain Bureau.

She said that because of her sister-in-law, her brother only came home once or twice a year. She didn't know about her brother's interactions with people outside. The last time she saw Yin Anda was just after the Chinese New Year.

Seeing that we didn't get any useful information, we all got in the car and prepared to leave. Yin Anxin came over and stopped us, saying that she remembered the time her brother came home after the Chinese New Year. She saw that her brother's coat had a tear in it, so she asked him to take it off and helped him sew it up.

She wasn't paying attention at the time and accidentally poured out the contents of her clothes pockets. She found three small paper bags used by photo studios to store photos, each containing a one-inch photo. She was curious why her brother put so many one-inch photos in them, so she asked.

At that time, Yin Anda explained to her that the factory needed it. Yin Anxin said that she saw the address on the paper bag and it was near the instrument factory.

She works in a grain and oil retail store, and the company often distributes good things. She used to ride her bike over to give some to her brother, but later she really couldn't stand her sister-in-law's behavior, and she also had her third child, so she hasn't come again in the past two years.

The photo was the strangest thing she could think of.

We came here according to the address she gave us. After we arrived, I asked the female investigator Shi Pingmei from our department to go in and take a photo and observe her first.

"Team Leader Duan, what clues have you found?"

"Photos. Just like what Yin Anxin said, we also found several bags of photos taken in this photo studio at Yin's house. There were one-inch half-body photos and five-inch full-body photos. None of the one-inch half-body photos were used. All eight photos in each bag were there."

"It would be strange if there was no problem."

Sun He curled his lips, took out a cigarette and gave one to Duan Bingyi and Hong Jun respectively.

"Then let's do this, Team Leader Duan. Once my people come out, I'll leave the photo studio to you, and we'll look for other clues outside."

"Don't, don't, don't"

Hearing Sun He say this, Duan Bingyi hurriedly waved his hands. It was almost certain that there was something wrong with the photo studio, or someone who came to the photo studio.

Although they also found clues and turned their attention over, it was obvious that the other party was moving faster.

What would it mean to take over from them at this time? To steal the credit? They don't have this tradition.

If the director knew about this, he would kick him to death.

"Deputy Section Chief Sun, just keep following this line. We still have a lot of work to do within the project team, and we're worried that we won't be able to handle it."

Seeing Duan Bingyi's genuine expression, Sun He hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying, "Okay, we'll follow this line. If we find out any information from the factory, I'll let you know in time."

"Okay, that's it. Let's go back first. There's still a lot to do inside."

"Okay, we can communicate anytime."

"no problem"

Since it was confirmed that someone was following this line, Duan Bingyi did not hesitate and led his men back. This time he did not return along the original route, but planned to go around to the front door.

After they left, Sun He didn't move, but just stood there looking at the photo studio.

The place he chose happened to be able to see the door of the photo studio, but if the people in the photo studio didn't come out and walk to the side of the road, they wouldn't be able to see him.

Less than two minutes after Duan Bingyi and his team left, Sun He saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses walking out of the photo studio.

When Duan Bingyi came over, he had only been there for less than five minutes, so he had no idea whether there were any customers taking photos in the photo studio before.

After the middle-aged man with glasses came out of the photo studio, he crossed the road and walked over here, then walked west.

After he came over, Sun He saw his appearance clearly. This man with glasses gave him a familiar feeling. Before he could figure out where he had seen him before, he saw Shi Pingmei also walking out of the photo studio.

After she came out, she turned around and looked around, then turned north along the road.

Her action startled Sun He and he quickly perked up.

They had agreed before going in just now that if they didn't find any problems inside, Shi Pingmei would cross the road and walk south after coming out, which was the direction he was in now.

But if you find anything suspicious inside, don't stop after you come out, just go in the opposite direction, which is the north.

Now Shi Pingmei is walking towards the north, then...

Just as he thought of this, Sun He saw another person walking out of the photo studio. Although his appearance was not clear, he could still tell that he was a middle-aged man about fifty years old.

After the man came out, he first stood at the door and lit a cigarette, then looked up to the west, walked to the side of the road and stood for a few seconds, then slowly turned around and walked to the side of the north-south road, first glanced to the south, then turned and looked to the north.

At this time, Pingmei had only walked a few dozen meters away. Not to mention standing in the position of the middle-aged man, even where Sun He was standing, he could still vaguely see her back.

Looking at the middle-aged man standing there looking to the north, Sun He hesitated for a moment and then walked across the street. After walking across, he went straight into the department store on the side of the road.

He was not sure whether the middle-aged man saw him when he glanced to the south.

Judging from the middle-aged man's actions, he was very suspicious and he didn't dare let this man see him a second time in a short period of time.

The store was located diagonally opposite to where the middle-aged man was standing. It was dark inside and bright outside. Unless you walked to the door and looked inside, you could not see what was going on inside.

After entering the store, he took the opportunity to buy cigarettes while looking through the store door across the street. The middle-aged man was still standing there looking to the north.

After he bought the cigarettes and paid, the middle-aged man turned and looked to the south again.

This made him feel a little awkward and he couldn't go out for the time being.

He had no choice but to ask for another pack of matches, but ended up getting two cold stares from the salesperson, as if the salesperson was dissatisfied with him for not buying all of them in one go.

Fortunately, after he bought the matches, the middle-aged man just turned around and walked towards the photo studio. Taking advantage of this opportunity, he hurriedly walked out of the store, crossed to the north side of the road, and followed the east side of the road all the way north to chase Shi Pingmei.

After walking for about five or six minutes, he finally saw the person he was looking for. Shi Pingmei happened to see him and walked over from Luxi.

The two did not stop, but walked forward one or two hundred meters until they reached the entrance of an alley, then turned in and stopped. Their car was parked here.

After getting in the car, Shi Pingmei let out a long sigh and said quickly without waiting for Sun He to ask, "Sun Ke, did you see the man with glasses who came out in front of me just now?"

"I saw you. You look familiar to me. Before I could remember where I saw you, you came out. Who is that?"

"His name is Shi Huaian, and he is from the project team. My last name is not common, so when I was looking at the information last night, I took a few extra glances at it, and I remember it very clearly.

When I entered the photo studio, he was already in the back room where the photos were taken. Because the door was closed, I couldn't see what was happening inside, but when he came out from the back, his face looked very unhappy. "
