Seeing the crime scene flashbacks made me the darling of the police station.

Chapter 405 You used to seem contradictory

"Are you two going to chat here a little longer?" Shen Yanzhou asked Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng from outside the car.

"Okay," Su Miaoyi said, "Brother, you should go back first."

"Okay." Shen Yanzhou walked back, then turned back after a couple of steps. "You're staying here, right?"

“Otherwise, what would we be doing chatting here in the middle of the night?” Su Miaoyi said.

“What if you two like it here?” Shen Yanzhou said. “Our house has good feng shui, which can help solve cases.”

“If we had this kind of feng shui, we would have to move the municipal bureau here,” Zhuang Yanzheng said.

Shen Yanzhou rolled her eyes at him: "I think you're doing this for your work, it's only a five-minute walk."

Su Miaoyi's phone rang; it was Kang Ting calling.

Zhuang Yanzheng said, "Let's go."

Shen Yanzhou went to the back to get his own car and went home first.

Su Miaoyi answered the phone and put it on speakerphone: "Captain Kang, is there any news?"

“I’ve sent you Dijia’s father’s information. Take a look,” Kang Ting said.

Su Miaoyi glanced at the information he sent her.

Du Song, male, fifty years old, from Jiangcheng, currently married to Lu Min.

The information doesn't reveal anything.

"I've finished reading it," Su Miaoyi said.

“I just came from Du Song’s house,” Kang Ting said. “I showed him the portrait, and he said the person in the portrait was named Chang Kong, who used to be his business partner.”

"Was?"

“Yes, Du Song said the two had business dealings two years ago. They had a good relationship when they were working together. Chang Kong even stayed at his house for two nights,” Kang Ting said. “Later, Du Song said his company had some serious problems, so they stopped working together and lost contact after that.”

"Where is Chang Kong from?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"Juniper said he was from D continent."

Su Miaoyi and Zhuang Yanzheng exchanged a glance.

Kang Ting continued, "Du Song found a phone number that was supposedly always inactive. He called it, but it was a dead number and he couldn't get through. However, the number wasn't saved in his contacts when Du Song called it."

“We haven’t been in touch for two years. He’s just a business partner. Don’t you have his contact information saved in your phone? Won’t you forget who it is?” Su Miaoyi also found it a bit strange.

“According to our usual way of thinking, it is indeed a bit strange, but some people really don’t like to add notes, but you can still find out which number belongs to which person,” Kang Ting said.

"Captain Kang, do you think Du Song is telling the truth?" Su Miaoyi asked.

“I think he’s lying,” Kang Ting said. “When I met him and identified myself, he seemed a little nervous. He was also a little nervous when I showed him the sketch. It’s normal for a person to be nervous when the police suddenly show up, but if he has nothing to hide, why would he be nervous about a sketch? Either he’s involved in something, or he knows something. It’s just that we don’t know what happened right now, and I can’t bring him back, so I can only investigate for now.”

"Understood," Su Miaoyi said. "Did you see Lu Min?"

"seen."

"What do you think of her?"

“When I asked Du Song, she just sat quietly to the side. Later, I asked her some questions, and she knew almost nothing about them,” Kang Ting said. “She said she had met Chang Kong, but didn’t know him. She doesn’t care about company matters, nor does she know much about Du Song’s friends and partners. She said she felt it was too much trouble. Either she really doesn’t know anything, or she is much more capable than Du Song.”

"What is Chang Kong's company called?" Su Miaoyi asked.

"I took a picture of an English name and will send it to your phone."

Su Miaoyi received the news quickly. Zhuang Yanzheng immediately ordered an investigation.

Kang Ting said, "After you told me about this this afternoon, I asked around about Di Yue Media. The chairman is Di Xin, who is also Di Jia's mother. She has an excellent reputation and is a very capable person. I asked several people, and they all praised and admired her. I originally wanted to meet her, but she was on a business trip and was not in the country."

"Okay, I understand," Su Miaoyi said. "Thank you, Captain Kang."

"Let's not stand on ceremony between us," Kang Ting said. "I'll need your help if anything comes up."

“Alright, then I won’t stand on ceremony,” Su Miaoyi said.

“That’s right, no need to be so polite.” Kang Ting then asked, “What about that thing I told you about last time? The terms aren’t any worse than what Jinghai offered, are they?”

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at his phone as if he had suddenly recognized some forbidden words.

Su Miaoyi quickly turned off the speakerphone: "Captain Kang, call me if anything happens on your end."

"Captain Kang, are you dreaming again? Trying to poach my people again, aren't you! I thought you had given up on that idea, but I didn't expect you to still be making private contact!" Zhuang Yanzheng shouted.

Su Miaoyi closed her eyes briefly when he called her name.

Then Kang Ting shouted into the phone, "You've been standing there for ages without saying a word, haven't you? When you took Zhi Shen away, you weren't even having any private contact with him, you were practically living at his house."

Su Miaoyi moved her phone away, feeling that her ears had been severely damaged.

“It’s none of your business. I’m capable.” Zhuang Yanzheng shouted.

Su Miaoyi gently tapped his arm to stop him from shouting, and said to Kang Ting, "Captain Kang, we'll contact you again later. Drive carefully and get some rest. Thank you for today."

She hung up the phone as soon as she finished speaking.

She was worried that the two of them would start arguing over her phone.

Zhuang Yanzheng looked at her and said, "It's okay, I'll talk to him when we get back."

"I'm not going." Su Miaoyi rubbed her ears.

Zhuang Yanzheng said, "Actually, when I wasn't very sure about your identity, I was really afraid that Kang Ting would steal you away."

“My uncle and aunt were here at that time, how could I leave?” Su Miaoyi said.

“You can take your uncle and aunt with you. Cheng Jue has already gone to Jiangcheng for the art exam. What if he applies to a school there? It’s more convenient to film in Jiangcheng,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “Also, your eyes lit up when you saw money back then. I was really afraid that if they offered more money in Jiangcheng, you would just leave with your eyes shining.”

Su Miaoyi laughed.

What are you laughing at?

“Brother Zheng, this is the first time in my life I’ve heard you say you’re worried about being defeated when it comes to money,” Su Miaoyi said.

Zhuang Yanzheng clicked his tongue: "The main thing is that you were very strange back then. Your eyes would light up when you saw money, but you also gave people the feeling that you regarded money as dirt. I felt that I couldn't keep you with money. You are a very contradictory person. It's just that this contradiction is much weaker compared to other strange points, so it is rarely noticed."

"Your thinking is contradictory. If you can't keep me with money, will I leave because of money?" Su Miaoyi asked after speaking, "Was I like this before?"

Zhuang Yanzheng nodded: "You've been doing things for the Municipal Bureau from the beginning, and I haven't mentioned money, nor have you asked for any. It's like if I don't bring it up, you can keep working for free. But when I applied for the bonus, your eyes lit up when you saw the money."

Su Miaoyi thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case.

“It seemed strange at the time, but it’s not strange now,” Zhuang Yanzheng said. “Some of the memories are Su Miaoyi’s, but you are Qin Leyan. Although you don’t have those memories, some things are etched into your bones.”

“For example,” Su Miaoyi said, “she doesn’t have much of a concept of money.”

Zhuang Yanzheng nodded.
