Aunt Li?
Hu Jia chuckled twice, "I'm asking for the full name."
Aunt Li was embarrassed, "Li Guixiang."
Hu Jia silently noted down the other person's name, then asked some more questions about Li Yong and the others before leaving.
According to Aunt Li, Li Yong only worked for one day, and she didn't have any particular impression of him. However, the young man seemed honest and straightforward, not like someone with ill intentions.
"What about the other people?"
"Other people?"
"The ones who went with Li Yong to repair the bathroom."
"Oh, I only know his name is Wang Jun, and I don't know anything else."
Hu Jia was a bit frustrated. Li Guixiang appeared to be cooperating with his work on the surface, but in reality, she knew nothing about anything he asked. Perhaps seeing Hu Jia's impatience, Aunt Li specifically explained, "Officer, you know, we just pull in some temporary workers from the street. What's their name? Is their name real? Where do they live? How many people are in their family? We don't ask any of these things. We just pay them, and they just do the work."
Hearing Li Guixiang's explanation, Hu Jia couldn't do anything. This was indeed the norm in society. There were so many people looking for work on the streets; who cared if you were a person or a ghost?
...
Meanwhile, on the other side, after coming out from Yuan Huayi's place, Lu Qingqing went directly to Tong Hua's home.
On the way, she passed by the police station and casually pulled Yu Yue along.
Cook?
Kitchen?
Lu Qingqing planned to investigate first.
"Be thorough, don't miss any spot." Lu Qingqing rummaged through cabinets and drawers, not even sparing the vegetable basket; she turned everything upside down.
"Are you sure there's evidence hidden here?" Yu Yue looked at the kitchen, which was not large, messy, and full of grease stains.
"Not sure." Lu Qingqing didn't look up.
"Then why are you looking? She just got her nails done today; don't smudge them." As she spoke, Yu Yue waved her fingers in front of Lu Qingqing.
Lu Qingqing smiled, "Yes, yes, you're a great beauty. Since your fingers are so beautiful, it must be inconvenient to eat hotpot. After all, the pot and stove are all greasy; it would be such a shame to get them dirty."
Hearing Lu Qingqing's playful banter, Yu Yue nudged her with annoyance, "I'm telling you, the person I despise most in my life is a deadbeat. If you default on your promise, I'll bring a bowl and come to your doorstep to cry every day. Let our boss be intimidated and dare not marry you."
"You cry yours, why would he dare not marry me?" Lu Qingqing was confused.
"Who would want to marry a wife who comes with a professional mourner?" Yu Yue swayed her head proudly.
Lu Qingqing was stunned, professional mourner?
"Get lost!"
Hahaha. Yu Yue was in a good mood. "You don't need to search those boxes and cabinets anymore. Go dig in that rice bin."
Rice bin?
Lu Qingqing looked at Yu Yue's confident expression and, half-believingly, reached into the bin.
As a result, after just stirring it a couple of times, her eyes lit up.
There was indeed something.
Lu Qingqing was overjoyed and quickly took it out. It was a wooden box. Upon opening it, she found a book and several photos inside.
"You're amazing, how did you guess this?" Lu Qingqing gave Yu Yue a hug without reservation.
Yu Yue pouted, "Finding things relies on the brain." Yu Yue said that if Tong Hua really hid things in the kitchen, he would either choose a more concealed spot, like a hidden compartment.
But they had searched everywhere and found nothing unusual, so there was only one possibility: he had put it in a place you wouldn't think to look.
"How did you know I wouldn't look in the rice bin?"
"Did you look in it just now?"
Uh.
Lu Qingqing was speechless; she indeed hadn't.
"The most dangerous place is the safest place, that's the principle. Everyone will naturally assume that things are hidden in a more concealed spot, or in boxes and cabinets. People looking for things will only search in places they can't see, while often overlooking those places that are in plain sight."
The rice bin was just like that.
Generally, as long as you opened the lid of the rice bin and saw that it was full of rice, you would instinctively assume it was all rice and naturally lose the desire to explore further. Even if you did, it would only be a superficial search, not too deep.
"The most crucial thing is that this rice bin is too deep, at least seventy to eighty centimeters. Who uses such a deep bin to store rice?"
After Yu Yue's explanation, Lu Qingqing suddenly understood, it seemed to be the case.
"Alright. You are indeed meticulous." Having found the evidence left by Tong Hua, Lu Qingqing was in a great mood. The two women returned to the police station and locked themselves in their office. They were determined to see what it was that caused Tong Hua to lose his life.
The result of their examination directly alerted Hu Jia, who was investigating a case outside.
That's right, it was Luo Wenwu who personally went to find him, because the evidence left by Tong Hua was too significant. Ouyang Wen had informed everyone to have a secret meeting.
"First, Tong Hua clearly explained his and Tong Meng's identities, and as early as last year, Tong Meng had already become the leader of the 'Blade Movers'."
"Also, Li Zhenhui was killed by Tong Hua, but he was acting on the orders of Lian Xianhai, and behind Lian Xianhai were the Blade Movers." Book Pavilion
"And Ma Cong and Mo Yun,..."
"..."
One by one, each revelation left Guan Jinsong and the others speechless.
Ironclad evidence.
Tong Hua was right; this evidence was his lifeline and his death warrant. If he used these secrets to threaten Sixth Master Blade, Sixth Master Blade might indeed save him, but at the same time, Sixth Master Blade might also want Tong Hua to be silenced forever because of these things.
And the answer was obvious: Tong Hua did not receive any rescue.
As for Tong Meng, she not only carried the burden of a human life but had also become Sixth Master Blade's mistress, which was simply mind-boggling for everyone.
"No wonder Tong Meng wanted to kill her brother; the siblings were really wary of each other." Zhan Ruoxuan disliked Tong Meng the most, and at this moment, his face was full of disgust. "When that woman is caught, I'll personally send her to prison."
The crowd was in an uproar, but only Hu Jia and Lu Qingqing remained relatively calm. After all, they had already learned quite a bit about these matters from Yuan Huayi.
However, some of the things Tong Hua later recorded made these two a little uneasy.
Tong Hua not only meticulously detailed the hierarchical structure of the Blade organization and collected all their criminal records from recent years, but most importantly, he mentioned a person.
"Among the entire Blade organization, there are two most mysterious individuals. One is Sixth Master Blade, and the other is Qiao Huali. I once personally saw Qiao Huali caress Tong Meng's buttocks. However, Tong Meng was with Sixth Master Blade. How did he dare to reach out? Therefore, I suspect that Qiao Huali might even be a high-ranking member of the Blade organization, possibly holding an important position. After all, Tong Meng is not only Sixth Master's person now but also the leader of the 'Blade Movers'."
Tong Hua's statement was relatively vague and did not jump to conclusions, but this passage was enough to attract everyone's attention.
"Is Qiao Huali's true identity in the Blade organization really as Tong Hua speculated?" All along, Qiao Huali claimed he was repaying a debt of gratitude, but from Tong Hua's description, he might be doing more than just repaying gratitude; he might have even 'hugged' someone.
"Also, Tong Hua provided an address, at Wangjiapo, Lianglu Kou. He said this is the secret residence of Sixth Master Blade, where he had met Sixth Master Blade multiple times." Ouyang Wen pointed to a page.
This was the main reason he convened this secret meeting: the real residence of Sixth Master Blade had been found.
