Chapter 144: Dangerous Heterodoxy Bureau
The moment Ji An let go of Liu Jiayi, Liu Jiayi changed her face in a second and became that confused little girl who lost her father.
She seemed to be reluctant to let go of Ji An's warm embrace, and gently folded her arms around him, but soon realized that it seemed wrong to do so, and let go in a nice, nervous manner.
Liu Jiayi let go of her hands, coyly pulling down her clothes, with teardrops still hanging on her trembling eyelashes.
These small gestures make Liu Jiayi look like a very upset little girl who has lost a loved one, and make Ji An's face softer and softer.
Mu Sicheng, who was watching all this, looked more and more complicated and strange: "......"
Now he didn't find it strange at all that Liu Huai had been tricked by Liu Jiayi.
Liu Jiayi's performance is worthy of an Oscar, and the kid goes from emotion to tears in less than a second.
Mu Sicheng would like to shake Ji An up and say, "Wake up, three minutes ago, this little girl you think is so poor and cute jumped from the sixth floor without blinking and landed on the ground safely, do you think this kind of little girl would come all the way to an investigator's house just to ask for help from his wife just because she doesn't have a father?
And the little girl's plan was to kidnap you, threaten your husband, threaten him, get him to reveal where Bai Liu is.
Now looking at Ji An's warm voice pacifying Liu Jiayi, Mu Sicheng's back was a little cold, and he couldn't help but rub his arms.
Okay, that's terrible! What kind of people does Bai Liu have on his team?
"I seldom meddle in Su Yang's work, his work is highly confidential, and I don't know exactly what he's doing." Ji An, under Liu Jiayi's coaxing, though still wary, has begun to loosen up, "But I can ask for you, if he is willing to talk, I can help to pass on the address to you, you are relatives of the inmates, you should be able to visit the inmates."
"If it was your father who was arrested, then this man who came with you?" Ji An looked skeptically at Mu Sicheng.
Before Mu Sicheng could say anything, Liu Jiayi quickly answered, "He is my father's friend."
Ji An was about to ask a few more questions when there was another knock on the door.
Mu Sicheng quickly nudged Liu Jiayi's hand, and the two of them got into the nursery before Ji An could react, then crisply closed the back lock.
Ji An knocked anxiously twice outside and shook the knob twice, but it wouldn't open - the key to the nursery was still in Mu Sicheng's hand!
Except for Mu Sicheng who opened the door from the inside, she could not enter from the outside in any way.
Liu Jiayi's soft voice came out timidly from inside: "Big sister, as long as you help me ask for news of my father, Bai Liu, we won't hurt your child, I swear."
Thinking that Liu Jiayi had indeed saved her child, and that Mu Sicheng had indeed saved her, Ji An's panic abated a little, and she hesitated in front of the door to the nursery for a while before mentally preparing herself and making up her mind to open it.
But this time the person at the door is not Su Yang either.
Standing outside the door was a young man dressed in what appeared to be an uncomplicated outfit.
Ji An recognized the wristwatch on this young man's hand, she had seen it in a TV drama, it was said to cost millions, this young man's appearance was exquisite, his clothes were also meticulously taken care of, a pair of well-made gold glasses was clipped on the bridge of his nose, he looked like he wasn't very tall but at first glance, he gave off an overbearing aura.
Because this person looked about the same height as her and did not have the feeling of any strong attack power, Ji An who had experienced a night attack this time was much calmer and there was also an adult male with a seemingly low force value in the baby's room, Mu Sicheng, hiding in there.
Ji An settled down and looked at this man at the door, "And may I ask who you are?"
"My name is Mu Ke." Mu Ke bowed courteously to Ji An, then straightened up to look at Ji An and politely inquired, "May I ask if this is Su Yang's home, and you are Su Yang's lover yes?"
Mu Ke wears black leather gloves on each hand and carries two black suitcases with codes.
"I am." Ji An nodded hesitantly as she looked over to the suitcase Mu Ke was carrying in his hand, "What do you want with him?"
Mu Ke holds a box flat as he turns the combination lock a few times, then opens a slit in the box to show Ji An - inside is a whole row of powdered milk cans.
Ji An froze for a moment and looked up uncertainly straight at Mu Ke : "What's-?!!!"
"May I come in and talk to you?" Mu Ke shook the items in his hand and he smiled appropriately, "After all, these two boxes of what your husband wants are really not light, and it's not really safe for me to stand outside the door alone carrying them."
Ji An was totally confused as to what was going on. Suddenly someone comes to her door in the middle of the night with two boxes of powdered milk? This is just too weird.
Could it be that ......
Ji An thought of Su Yang's recent tired and sad look, and combined with the expensive outfit and words of this young man standing outside the door, an absurd conjecture flashed through her mind - could it be that ...... the powdered milk canister was actually filled with some other thing?
"May I ask what you mean when you say that these two boxes are what my husband wants?" Ji An asked perceptively.
"That's something you should ask your husband." Mu Ke sat down nicely on the couch, his hands folded in his lap as he kept a friendly look across the room at Ji An, "To ask him why he condoned his crew arresting a commoner who hadn't committed any crimes at all. We have no choice but to come to our door with some gifts, and we hope you can help us have a good chat with your husband."
"No way." Ji An denied without a second thought, "There's no way Su Yang would do such a thing!"
It's true that Su Yang did no such thing.
But this did not prevent Mu Ke from presupposing that he had done such a thing and had to come to inquire the truth through the mouth of Ji An.
"He really didn't do it?" Mu Ke lifted his eyelids nonchalantly, the smirk on his face smooth and unchanged, "Then why was my friend taken in, and Su Yang's crew came to the villa I'm staying at around ten tonight to warn me or else they'd have to take me in for complicity as well."
Ji An clenched her hands in her arms as she bit her lower lip.
Tonight Su Yang did call with her around ten o'clock to say that the team suddenly had to go out on a special assignment in a rich neighborhood and that it was a temporary imposition down the road.
Su Yang's tone seemed helpless even when he told her that he couldn't come back at night, and his words revealed that the case hadn't yet been clear-cut, and his captain had started making them arrest people.
Why would you start arresting people in a case, before it's clear ......
And Su Yang says their captain is not in the right state lately, arresting a lot of completely unrelated people ......
Her eyes fell on the two boxes of milk powder on the table, Mu Ke followed Ji An's gaze and opened the boxes, the neat milk powder cans were exposed in front of Ji An's eyes, Mu Ke whispered somewhat helplessly, "I believe that you, as a mother, should be able to understand the preciousness of human feelings, our friend's life and death is uncertain, we are also very anxious, as an ordinary person, we can only find you to help. We can only find you to help."
"Figured your kids might need formula, so I brought two boxes."
Ji An quickly withdrew his gaze as if he had been scalded, his fists clenched at his side, and he pursed his lips and lowered his head.
"No way," Ji An whispered softly, she closed her eyes not daring to look at Mu Ke on the couch, "Su Yang is not that kind of person, it's his job and I can't interfere, thank you for the formula but please take it away!"
"It's just two cartons of powdered milk, and with how precious newborns are, we wanted to do our bit and hope that the child's mother will teach him when he grows up that kindness and justice are the benchmarks of being human."
Even with his eyes closed, Mu Ke's voice came clearly and incessantly into Ji An's ears, "The birth of a child will begin to transform both your thinking and your values, ma'am, and you're quite different even before you became a mother, aren't you? For the sake of your child, do you want your child to grow up to be an evil person who doesn't know right from wrong?"
Ji An's breathing began to quicken as her nails pinched into her hands.
"How can you be sure that your husband hasn't changed?" Mu Ke's tone dipped and became patronizing, "Even if he hasn't changed, what if his top boss has changed? What if the people around him have changed? Maybe he didn't do these things willingly, but everyone else did and he had to go along with it, and that happens all the time doesn't it?"
"But what's done is done and I won't blame him, he didn't mean to do it." Mu Ke pushed the two cartons of powdered milk sitting on the coffee table towards Ji An and said sincerely, "I believe that your lover is a decent person so I won't tell anyone, I just need you to help me by giving me some information to let me know where my friend is and I will never mention this again, and also you helped Su Yang to do the right thing, you saved an innocent man."
Mu Ke pushes the gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and smiles, "I would think that's a commendable and good thing, for me, and I'm sure Su Yang feels the same way."
Ji An's breathing was very rapid, and the hands hanging at the sides of her body clenched violently as her tightly closed eyes began to tremble.
"As long as you get Su Yang to give me information on Bai Liu." Mu Ke said softly, "Please."
Ji An snapped his eyes open to look at Mu Ke : "Who did you just say you were going to save?"
Before Mu Ke repeats the name Bai Liu again, the nursery opens and Liu Jiayi and Mu Sicheng, who is hugging his chest against the wall, look at Mu Ke with a raised eyebrow, "Came pretty fast."
------
At 1 a.m., a tired Su Yang knocked on the door of her home.
The moment he opened it, he buried himself into Ji An's shoulder with a disarming rub, "Honey, I'm home."
But this relief lasted less than a second in Su Yang's case, and soon Su Yang straightened up with a wary hold on Ji An's shoulders and circled the house alertly, "Has anyone been in the house today?"
The room was in bad shape. Something had been moved.
Ji An gave a forced smile, "...... The outside air conditioner unit outside the nursery broke and almost fell, I called someone to fix it."
"So ......" Su Yang relaxed slightly again, he kissed the top of Ji An's hair and his tone was apologetic, "I'm sorry for letting you live in this kind of second hand house, when I'm done with this period of time, we'll have the money to get a new house. "
What's the source of that big sum of money for a new house?
Ji An wanted to ask, but she ended up just leaning her head down against Su Yang's shoulder in silence, hmming softly and saying, "There's nothing to apologize for."
Su Yang doesn't notice Ji An's strange behavior as he unzips his coat and heads straight to the baby's room, where he giggles and sticks his head in his little girl's face, making gibberish noises as he does so, to amuse her.
Ji An couldn't help but cry at the sight of Su Yang in this silly state, after a night of stumbling through the neuroses that made her want to break down.
Su Yang turned around and saw Ji An secretly wiping her tears, he walked over helplessly and painfully, hugged Ji An's waist and pressed against Ji An's forehead, "I've made you wait for so long worriedly, that's the nature of my work, don't wait anymore, your body can't stand it, go to sleep now."
Ji An shook her head as she pressed down on Su Yang's shoulders and placed her hands on Su Yang's temples to give her a relaxing massage, "If I can't get through it can you?"
Su Yang completely relaxed under Ji An's massage, he slumped back in the chair and closed his eyes, his breathing quickly becoming sheepishly even.
But Ji An knows that Su Yang is still awake, just in a kind of sleepy state.
Usually at this time Su Yang's sense of defense would be very low, Ji An softened his voice and pretended to ask carelessly, "You guys are working overtime tonight, who are you arresting? Why are you so sudden? You told me you were going home for dinner, and you're working overtime until one in the morning."
Su Yang's brow furrowed but he didn't open his eyes, "I actually think that this person shouldn't be arrested, it was Team Tang who initiated the privilege to arrest the person, but I don't understand why because I didn't find out that he had core evidence of the crime, but it does seem like this person should be involved, but I don't think it's going to progress to the point of detainment. "
"Lately, Team Tang has been asking us to arrest people who have absolutely no core evidence and can't see any traces of subsequent crimes." Su Yang spoke with a sigh, "And he's in bad shape, he's been drinking and getting drunk a lot, and he even got into a fight with me tonight, and the team thinks what he's doing is a little out of line."
"Before he was, he wasn't like this ......" Su Yang head bit by bit began to doze off, and the words he said were also confused, "But it's better to believe in Team Tang, after all, it's also for the good of all of us, and if this person is really like what If this person is really as Team Tang said, then as long as we lock him up, everyone will be able to get away with it once and for all, and we won't have to work so hard in the future ......"
Ji An exhaled slowly, confirming what she had in mind, and lowered her hands from massaging Su Yang, her gaze firming up.
When Su Yang was asleep, Ji An gingerly got out of the double bed, she took Su Yang's work ID and work key from her work jacket hanging on her back, opened the window of the nursery and threw it downstairs.
Then Ji An closed the window with a calm face, turned and kissed the little baby in the infant and left the nursery as if nothing had happened.
The baby in the crib was sleeping quietly, his face serene and peaceful.
......
Already waiting downstairs Mu Sicheng looked at the work permit and key that fell down, he sniffed the smell on it, was disgusted and waved it in front of his nose a few times, then hooked his mouth, "I don't know what this is loaded with, it smells really bad, let's go, I remember his smell."
Mu Ke had already dialed the phone, he looked over to Mu Sicheng and Liu Jiayi and shook the phone in his hand, "I got in touch with that hacker, he said that by hooking up to the car recorder on the sub, he could find out where the sub had been."
"Let's go, get the car."
