“You came to me in the middle of the night just to say these polite words?”
Feng Jing noticed Yin Tao’s evasive gaze and deliberately pulled down his collar to observe her reaction. When he noticed that Ying Tao’s ears were flushed, Feng Jing set aside his cheeky thoughts.
“I can’t stop thinking about the case. I really can’t sleep. Brother Feng, do you already have a plan? Can we have a chat?” Yin Tao had actually planned to sleep just now, but as soon as she lay down, her mind was filled with clues on the case. Her thoughts were all over the place, she wouldn’t be able to sleep If she didn’t sort out these thoughts clearly.
“Alright, go to bed first.” Feng Jing looked at Yin Tao, who was frightened like a quail, and couldn’t help but chuckle. “Your slippers are too thin. The case is quite complicated. Go sit on the bed and I’ll tell you slowly.”
“Oh.” Yin Tao agreed and quickly ran onto the bed.
“You should have guessed as much. The USB drive probably contains evidence of a black market crime that Secretary Xu has.” Feng Jing told Yin Tao his guess. These things had been experienced by the two of them together, so Yin Tao could easily understand.
“So at that time, Secretary Xu was also very hesitant about reporting the black market crime, little did he know such a tragedy would befall him.” Yin Tao thought of Xu Shan, who had almost been killed in the Children’s Home. She wished she could put the murderer on the autopsy table and see if he actually had any heart.
“Brother Feng, could the real owner of the black market really be Wan Zhe?”
Yin Tao had never suspected that Wan Zhe would kill Xu Shan’s parents. At the very least, from many people’s description of Wan Zhe, he didn’t seem like someone who would do such a thing, unless he had concealed himself so deeply.
“Not necessarily.” Feng Jing replied directly, “Before 1 left just now, 1 showed Liu Jing a photo of Wan Zhe. She felt that the person in the casual outfit wasn’t Wan Zhe. That person was a little taller than Wan Zhe and his figure was more similar to mine.”
“What if the person in the casual outfit isn’t the boss of the black market?”
“It’s not impossible.” Feng Jing adjusted Yin Tao’s blanket and continued, “So, the best way is to find the USB drive. Without evidence, we can’t arrest the murderer even if we know who he is.”
Feng Jing looked at Yin Tao’s furrowed brows and gently reached out to help her smoothen them out. “Let’s go and talk to Liang Yi tomorrow and see if he’s willing to help. Then, we’ll go and see Xu Shan and see if she has any impression of that locust tree. After all, that USB drive is very likely to be hidden by Xu Rui. It might be meaningful to him. If…”
Feng Jing was halfway through his sentence when he saw Yin Tao, who was leaning against the headboard, slowly slide down.
“You’ve been running with me the entire day. It’s been hard on you.” Feng Jing leaned over and gently kissed Yin Tao’s forehead. He tucked her in and turned to go to the room next door.
The next morning, when they woke up, Feng Jing and Yin Tao drove to Cheng Fei’s house. Yin Tao even specially contacted Cheng Fei and said that they had to see Liang Yi to discuss something urgent with him.
Cheng Fei agreed even though he was a little puzzled.
In the car, Yin Tao looked at Feng Jing, who was in the driver’s seat, in embarrassment. “Brother Feng, 1 fell asleep halfway yesterday. I’m sorry.”
“I’m already very happy that you’re willing to accompany me. Xiaotao, you don’t have to apologize to me. No matter what happened, 1’11 definitely be willing to forgive you. I can’t bear to be angry with you.”
In fact, Feng Jing didn’t want to take the risk with Yin Tao. However, based on his understanding of her, Yin Tao would definitely not be at ease if he didn’t bring her along.
“Brother Feng, if we can successfully solve the case this time, let’s go home to see Grandpa Feng together, okay?”
Yin Tao looked at Feng Jing and felt that many things that had happened were surreal. Feng Jing had always been willing to believe in her, and to accompany her.
“Alright, let’s go home together.” Although Feng Jing’s voice was very calm, his gaze had become exceptionally gentle. Only when he was with Yin Tao would Feng Jing feel warmth and happiness.
Liang Yi was already waiting for Feng Jing and Yin Tao when they arrived at Cheng Fei’s house.
“I’ll make a pot of tea for you guys. Take your time to chat.” Cheng Fei could tell that Feng Jing and Yin Tao had something to discuss with Liang Yi, so he deliberately left them alone.
“Why are you here again? I’ve already said that Liu Jing’s disappearance has nothing to do with me.” Liang Yi watched Cheng Fei walk into the kitchen, and lowered his voice to say to Feng Jing and Yin Tao..
