Chapter 44: Funny

"I went to the Andingmen ghost market last night and met two people. I don't know their names, but I know their surname is Zhu and they are brothers.

The two of them had a batch of newly acquired goods that were not obtained through legitimate means, and they were selling them. The items I saw included high-value jewelry such as gold and jade, as well as watches and pens.

It is said that they have quite a lot of these things. Haven’t you always wanted to investigate people with money and things? You can investigate them first to see how and where the goods in their hands came from…”

The more he listened, the more shocked Jin Zhihai's expression became.

"Uh...what's your reaction?"

Li Yancheng sensed something was wrong, stopped telling the story, and asked with some curiosity.

"You also met the Zhu brothers?"

Jin Zhihai didn't answer his question, but asked back directly.

As soon as he said this, Li Yancheng knew that he had been worrying in vain.

Actually, if you think about it, both the police and Luo Yang's unit are very concerned about this case.

There were people selling those shady things in the ghost market, and the quantity was quite large. How could they not notice it?

If they really hadn't noticed, they could all go home and take a shower and go to bed.

"It seems that I have been worrying for nothing. You have already noticed the Zhu brothers."

"I did notice that." Jin Zhihai nodded without hiding anything.

“And we have traced back to where they stole the things.

How should I put it... We were fooled, and the Zhu brothers were just bait thrown out."

"What...what do you mean?" Li Yancheng was a little confused. How did he become a bait?

“Ah…” Jin Zhihai sighed a little depressed, took a puff of cigarette, squinted his eyes and thought for a while before saying: “To put it simply, the place where they stole things was not someone’s house, but a grave. They were induced to go there by someone.

These two guys are really stupid. They found two big bags of that stuff in a not-so-long grave, and they dared to take it and even sell it. In fact, they were discovered by our people on the first night.

After our investigation, we...”

Jin Zhihai spread his hands, helplessness written all over his face.

Obviously, this is why he said he was fooled. The murderer used the Zhu brothers to test the degree of police tightness, and at the same time diverted the police's attention to the two guys. This investigation would waste a lot of time, and the man had more time to make arrangements.

"Hmm?" Li Yancheng suddenly thought of something: "Zhi Hai, why do you think he wanted to throw out the Zhu brothers?"

"Divert our attention."

"Why do you want to divert your attention? You don't have any valuable clues in your hands."

Jin Zhihai fell into silence.

Li Yancheng did not give him time to think, and continued: "Do you think there is a possibility that he transferred your clues to make it easier for him to take action again, or..."

Before he could finish his words, Jin Zhihai, who had been smoking quietly, suddenly raised his head and said, "There is another possibility. That is, our investigation some time ago may have almost found him, so he threw the Zhu brothers out to interfere with our sight."

"Pa" Li Yancheng bent down and patted his brother's arm.

"You have a good IQ and you have learned how to answer quickly."

Unfortunately, Jin Zhihai had no idea what this joke meant. He just rolled his eyes at his brother, put out the cigarette in the ashtray on the table, and stood up.

Seeing this, Li Yancheng glared and hurriedly grabbed him. "Hey, hey, hey, brother, today is Sunday, and it's finally a day off. If you plan to go to the company to work overtime, your wife will definitely give me trouble later, so please don't hurt me."

"Why did she bother you?"

"That's nonsense. I talked to you for a long time, and then you went to work overtime. If it's not because of me, then what? Brother, work can't be done in one day. While we are working, we should also take care of our family. Don't make yourself like Dayu, who passed by his home three times without entering."

"Tsk... You sound like you know how to balance work and home better than I do."

Jin Zhihai didn't give Li Yancheng any face at all, and stared at him with disdain.

"Hey, you guy, at least you're married."

"Being married doesn't cover up the fact that you are single now."

"Uh..." Li Yancheng was choked by the words and didn't know what to say. He could only roll his eyes.

"I was originally planning to tell you some good news, but now that you're such a coward, I won't say anything more. Get out of here right now and ask Ningning to come over. I'll help her with the questions she doesn't understand, and then we'll go to bed."

Jin Zhihai seemed to have not heard the rest of the sentence and only heard the first half.

"Good news? What good news?"

"I'm in a bad mood right now and I don't want to tell you."

He saw something different when he came back just now. He originally wanted to tell his brother about it, but now he decided not to say anything and let this guy worry about it.

"You guy, you are not saying this on purpose just to make me anxious?" Jin Zhihai asked half-doubtfully.

"Oh, yes, yes, I am deliberately trying to make you anxious." After saying that, he ignored Jin Zhihai and shouted at the top of his voice: "Ningning, come quickly."

"Here comes Dacheng."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Ningning ran in: "Brother Dacheng, have you finished talking to my brother?"

"That's it. Come on, tell me which question you don't understand and I'll explain it to you."

"This..." Little Ningning sat down on the chair next to Li Yancheng, picked up the notebook she had just brought and placed on the table, opened it and pointed at the top.

At this time, Xing Lihua also came in. When she saw that her sister-in-law had already started studying, she pulled her husband out.

"Come on, Ningning has already started studying and you're still not going out. Are you planning to study with us?"

"It's not that I don't want to leave, this guy is just hanging me in the middle of his words."

"What do you mean by leaving your words half-said? Dacheng, what did you say to my Zhihai? Why are you leaving him sitting here alone and feeling so conflicted?" Xing Lihua turned to look at Li Yancheng curiously.

"Ask your man. He actually laughed at me for being single. Humph, I'm really upset now. I wanted to tell him some good news to cheer him up, but now... just wait until I'm in a better mood."

His words immediately aroused the curiosity of Xing Lihua and Jin Wenning.

Seeing the expressions on the three of them, Li Yancheng kept laughing in his heart. This was exactly the effect he wanted.

"Brother Dacheng, what's the good news? Tell me secretly. I promise not to tell my brother."

"Come on, you're like a little megaphone. Any secret becomes an open secret when it comes to you."

Li Yancheng was not fooled. He smiled and rubbed Xiao Ningning's head. Hmm, this girl's hair quality is good. It feels very good when rubbed.
