"I don't believe that Zhou Jianwei would make so much money to a fraud company at one time and embezzle the project funds. Judging from the time node, it is very likely that it was the ransom paid.

This time, Wen Lan might have guessed that the kidnappers have indeed contacted the Zhou family members secretly." Liao Mingliang said after listening to the case report in the office of the temporary investigation team.

Of course, Qi Fei couldn't admit that Ji Wenlan had seized the limelight so easily, and hurriedly said: "It may be too early to draw a conclusion now. Maybe Zhou Jianwei wanted to get some pocket money, but he just invested in the wrong place."

Ji Wenlan immediately retorted: "This money is so short that it takes to pay Party B, how could Zhou Jianwei invest it?"

Qi Fei questioned: "Even if the ransom is paid, why didn't he ask his father for money? Is his father unwilling to pay the money?"

Ji Wenlan hesitated and said, "The first thing is to find out why the kidnappers asked Zhou Jianwei for ransom, not Zhou Jiyao."

Qi Fei's brain also reacted quickly and immediately said: "Because Zhou Jiyao is his grandfather and Zhou Jianwei is his father, of course the kidnappers will look for his father first.

Besides, the kidnappers are not clear about the specific situation of the Zhou family. Perhaps in their opinion, Zhou Jianwei is already a wealthy man, and it is normal to ask him for ransom, but I don’t say so that is to support the statement that this money is a ransom.”

Ji Wenlan asked back: "Since Zhou Jianwei can't get the ransom, why don't he ask his father for it?"

Qi Fei said: "The problem is back, so this money doesn't look like a ransom. If it's really a ransom, he doesn't need to be so sneaky. No matter what, doesn't Zhou Jiyao want to get his grandson back?"

Seeing that the two beauties were fighting each other, Chen Mingwei interrupted: "The key figure is still this Tu Zhijun. As long as he can catch him, everything will be revealed."

Qi Fei snorted and said, "If Tu Zhijun had already left the country, the problem would not be that simple, and we are not responsible for investigating the case. However, the police there have already made it clear that there has not yet been any relationship between Tu Zhijun and our Nanzhao City."

Ji Wenlan seemed to have no reason to convince Qi Fei, so he could only say: "Since Zhou Jiyao reported the case personally, it means he also believes that the money may be a ransom, otherwise he would ask us for help?"

Qi Fei snorted and said, "I believe Zhou Jiyao's words, maybe it's deliberately diverting our attention."

Liao Mingliang seemed to be inclined toward Ji Wenlan this time and said, "No matter what, this is one of the few clues at present. Let's check Tao Yajun and see if he has any social relationship with Donglin City.

In addition, go to Tang Wan and ask her if Zhou Jianwei had any business dealings with him or who he had contact with before his death. By the way, please record Zhou Jianwei's call before and after the incident again."

Qi Fei muttered, "Director Liao, are you sending additional staff? We are so busy that we can't do anything. Just investigating the situation of these people in Zhou Jiyao's family will make me run away."

Liao Mingliang snorted and said, "You can't even make a name for yourself, so how can I ask Director Lu for someone?" After pausing for a moment, he asked Ji Wenlan and said, "What are you busy with recently?"

Qi Fei interrupted, "What else can I do? I'm naturally busy looking for Dai Jialang?"

Liao Mingliang asked, "What? Still no whereabouts?"

Ji Wenlan shook his head and said nothing.

Liao Mingliang waved his hand and said, "Forget it, there is no need to hang this kid on a crooked tree. You and Qi Fei divide the work, and first take care of the clue of ransom."

Qi Fei muttered: "If this money is not a ransom, then we are basically doing useless work."

Liao Mingliang said angrily: "Then you can find a way to prove that the money is not a ransom, otherwise you can only assume it is a ransom and check it to the end." After that, he went out angrily.

Dai Jialang's new job has been going on for half a month. Now, thinking about it, all the worries and doubts in the past are redundant. Zhou Yubing is neither as enthusiastic as expected, nor as domineering as he expected. Apart from letting him drive here and there, he basically thinks he is air.

During this period, he did not find any privacy in life for the female boss, nor did he even think that she had an ambiguous relationship with any man. Instead, he felt that the female boss was a workaholic and was basically working except to sleep at night.

The most important thing is that the two things Dai Jialang is most worried about have not happened, at least not happened until now, and he speculated that Qi Fei might have lost interest in him.

Although Tang Wan is Zhou Yubing's sister-in-law, they don't seem to be people in the same circle, and it's not easy to meet. To be honest, if the meeting with Tang Wan is ultimately impossible, it's better to just come earlier. As long as you pass this level, you will feel completely at ease with Zhou Yubing in the future.

However, in addition to heart disease, Dai Jialang was always thinking about another thing, and the longer the time went on, the more impatient he felt, that was the address Sun Qian mentioned before his death.

But this matter was extraordinary to him, and he had to be extra careful. Based on various analysis, he felt that the place provided by Sun Qian might be a treasure house, but it might also be a devil's cave that costs human life. No matter what, money is indeed a good thing, but it must also be enjoyed by life.

However, no matter how cautious you are, even if you don’t make money, no matter how dangerous the place is, you cannot curb the curiosity in your heart. In order to satisfy this curiosity, Dai Jialang is not lacking in courage.

But he has been following the female boss during this period and can't take time. As long as time allows and the time is ripe, he will immediately carry out his own adventure.

That morning, Dai Jialang sent Zhou Yubing to the entrance of the hotel. The female boss looked at the drizzle of winter rain and said, "I don't plan to go out in this ghost weather. Don't follow me. Today is your holiday. Just come and pick me up at get off work at night."

After saying that, he walked into the hotel.

When Dai Jialang heard this, he immediately felt that the opportunity had come. From now until he picked up the female boss from get off work at night, there were more than ten hours between them, which could fully meet his "exploration" requirements.

Of course, this must ensure that the female boss should not go out suddenly in the middle. This kind of thing is basically the norm in his work. However, today Zhou Yubing made it clear that she would take her leave. Even if she went out temporarily, she could not blame herself for not being able to arrive on time.

That's today.

After making up his mind, Dai Jialang parked Zhou Yubing's car in the parking space dedicated to the boss in front of the hotel, and then took out a light tool kit from the trunk and carried it on his body, containing all the "tools of crime" he could imagine. Of course, he would not be stupid enough to drive this dazzling luxury car to explore. A taxi is the best means of transportation.

Dai Jialang did not take a taxi at the entrance of the hotel, but walked two blocks before stopping a taxi and then told the driver to go to Erdaohe.

Unexpectedly, the driver said in confusion: "Erdaohe? That place is big, where are you going?"

Dai Jialang hesitated for a moment and said, "No. 116 Erdaohe Road."

The driver turned his head and glanced at Dai Jialang suspiciously, and smiled and said, "Brother, I've been having fun so early."

Dai Jialang was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "What fun do you want?"

The driver smiled ambiguously and didn't say anything.

Dai Jialang hesitated and asked, "How long does it take to go from here?"

The driver said, "An hour and a half drive."

Dai Jialang was surprised and said, "What? It takes an hour and a half? I have checked it on the map, and it will be a maximum of thirty or forty minutes."

The driver smiled and said, "Brother, aren't you a local? You don't know how big Erdao River is. You can reach Erdao River in thirty or forty minutes, but you can't reach No. 116, which is the northernmost end of Erdao River.

To be honest, it’s better to get there in an hour and a half, and if I encounter a traffic jam, I can’t guarantee how long it will take to get there.”

Dai Jialang said in surprise: "Isn't Erdaohe the same road?"

The driver nodded and said, "In the past, it was just the name of a road, but now it refers to a large area, also called Erdaohe District."

Dai Jialang said in confusion: "Then just take me to 116 Erdaohe Road."

The driver was also confused and said, "Yes, I will take you to No. 116 Erdaohe Road. I am very familiar with it. I don't know how many times I have to run a day. I just told you clearly. Don't hurt your feelings for a little fare. You can decide whether to go or not."

Dai Jialang hesitated for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Let's go."

When he arrived at Erdaohe, Dai Jialang knew where this place was. Compared with Wutang District where he lived, it was even more chaotic and had a larger population of migrant workers. It should be considered the largest shanty town renovation area in Nanzhao City.

However, when the driver placed him in front of No. 116 Erdaohe Road, he believed that the city's bottom-floor population must have gathered here. He saw that each window of a dilapidated five-story building was "flag flying", and even if it was raining, it was drying with red, green and green cloth.

Damn, how could Sun Qian hide his secrets in such a place? Did he fall in love with the chaos here? But it is not safe to hide valuable things here.

"Did you see it? This is 116, and the building next door is 115. If you can't find a satisfactory place, you can also try your luck there." The driver saw Dai Jialang sitting there and was stunned and introduced enthusiastically.

Dai Jialang was not interested in No. 115. He seemed to have not heard the driver's words. He opened the car door and went out, stood there and looked around, then walked into the gate.

This building was definitely not a living person before, because it was not divided into units, and after entering it there were long passages and rooms, which looked like an abandoned office building.

As soon as I entered, I met a few men who seemed to have not woken up and yawned down from the building. However, the corridor was generally quiet. Although it was already past ten o'clock in the morning, every household was closed.
