Reborn Spicy Little Wife

Chapter 239 Unveiling the Secret (4)

"When I entered the military region, I glanced at the flowerpots by the osmanthus tree behind Tian Susu's house. Just then, I heard a long and a short sound, and that smell came back."

The fifth time was tonight around 6 PM, when I rode my bicycle to survey the site!

Luo Ning's memories drifted back to the mountain. She abandoned her bicycle and searched the area around the crime scene for any clues.

Too much time had passed, and with continuous rain, almost no clues were found.

When she returned, she inadvertently discovered a pair of footprints in the grass, and at that moment, that familiar scent reappeared.

Luo Ning turned around abruptly and saw the bicycle chain lying on the ground being blown by the wind.

Her pupils contracted, she quickly stood up, glanced at the sky, picked up her bicycle, and sped away.

She had only ridden for a dozen meters when the bicycle chain broke, and she fell off the bike.

She lay on the ground, and the smell became more pronounced, and it seemed to be getting closer.

Just as Luo Ning felt he was about to face the enemy head-on, the woman who had been acting crazy by the river earlier came sneakily up the mountain again, carrying a basket.

She immediately grabbed her bicycle and disappeared like the wind.

"Xiao Ning, did you hurt yourself anywhere?" Xie Chang'an asked impatiently, his gaze sweeping over Luo Ning.

Everyone's lips twitched, as if they didn't recognize Xie Chang'an. Could this person be an imposter?

That urgent tone and anxious expression couldn't possibly come from Leng Yanwang!

"It's unbearable to look at," Yang Zheng said, rubbing his forehead.

Xie Chang'an, that bastard, has completely fallen. One thing can subdue another, one thing can subdue another!

Luo Ning glared at Xie Chang'an, "Can't you be a little more mindful of the occasion?"

I was concerned about what was wrong with my wife and what kind of occasion I should be mindful of, but Xie Chang'an was incredibly self-righteous. At the same time, I noticed something: "With your skills, there's no way you couldn't dodge the threat of a bicycle..."

Others strongly agreed, so why is that?

Luo Ning was practically kneeling before Xie Chang'an, "Boss, please accept my deepest respect!" "Isn't it convenient to lie down and scout enemy positions?"

"Nonsense!" Xie Chang'an exploded instantly, his anger rising.

"Xiao Ning, you knew there was danger around you, so why did you act alone? Does your mother know how willful you are?"

My mom doesn't know, but you're about to find out why the flowers are so red—it's the glory of blood! Luo Ning gave Xie Chang'an a cold look. You just wait!

Let's meet again later!

Yang Zheng and the other two sensed the undercurrent between Xie Chang'an and Luo Ning and secretly chuckled.

"If I don't act alone, how will I have the chance to be sure that person has been following me? And those people from above who have bad intentions and want to follow me to pick up fallen peaches, would I, such a smart little fairy, let them take advantage of me?"

"Commander Yang is keeping everyone at bay by the river, which is the perfect opportunity for me to act. Besides, I have indeed discovered the situation!" Luo Ning snorted and turned to draw a pair of footprints on the whiteboard.

"Look, these are the hidden footprints I found in the grass. They must have been left by the murderer. This person is about 170-175 cm tall, and he is a cripple. The right shoe is obviously more worn than the left. Based on my irresponsible deduction, the button belongs to this person!"

Except for the first time, I always smelled the scent of Hongmei cigarettes on the people I was following.

The day Yin Feifan saw his wife and daughter off, I ran into Li Tian at the gate and noticed he had a crumpled cigarette in his mouth, which meant he smoked and was quite addicted.

With his income, he couldn't afford cigarettes like Huang Hongmei. His frequent stalking of me was an attempt to kill me, and I was among those about to be in danger!

Luo Ning had been feeling uneasy these past two days, as a conspiracy against her might have already begun, but had not yet fully surfaced.

She's always causing trouble and making a ruckus, but she always leaves loopholes that people can exploit.

What's most frustrating is that after carefully analyzing the situation, she couldn't find any flaws in her own work.

"That's all I can tell you. This temporary status ends here."

Li Tian did indeed smoke Huang Hongmei cigarettes; almost everyone knew this. After his son and daughter-in-law passed away, he went through a period of depression. About three years ago, he changed; he started spending money extravagantly and only ate the best food.

"No, no rush!" Yang Zheng immediately shook his head, exchanged a glance with Commander Liu, and the two exchanged a few words.

So Luo Ning received a new mission: to visit the bastards imprisoned in the Heroes' Camp on behalf of Xie Chang'an.

Faced with Xie Chang'an's expectant gaze, what could Luo Ning say? She could only nod.

"Zhong Cheng came back twice today to report. Once, Li Tian told him about your jumping into the river, and the other time, Li Tian asked me to build a cenotaph for you..." Xie Chang'an murmured. Now he understood the malicious intent behind Li Tian's good intentions—using Xiao Ning's death to strike him down!

Xie Chang'an suddenly thought of something, exchanged a glance with Luo Ning, and the two of them simultaneously uttered the same name: "Zhong Cheng!"

"Damn it, I forgot about Zhong Cheng!" Luo Ning rubbed his head and subconsciously looked out the window.

It was already dark. Zhong Cheng didn't have to keep watch tonight, so he should have already returned to his dormitory.

Ji Lin's pupils contracted, and he blurted out, "Zhong Cheng has to pass through a bamboo forest on his way back, and there are no lights there!"

Yang Zheng immediately stood up and said to Ji Lin, "Go on this trip and bring more people with you!"

"Yes!" Ji Lin nodded and left quickly.

Luo Ning stood with his hands behind his back, gazing at the night outside the window. "Commander Yang, it's time to close the net! If there are no surprises, there should be the smell of Hongmei cigarettes or cigarette butts around the ward! The murderer will definitely be watching our movements and lingering around."

Yang Zheng understood Luo Ning's meaning and immediately went to investigate himself.

He appeared outside Xie Chang'an's ward and overheard several officers from the Second Battalion of the Third Regiment whispering among themselves, "Why didn't Lu Guo participate in today's operation?"

Yang Zheng coughed lightly to acknowledge his presence, "What are you doing?"

Several officers immediately turned around and spoke up one after another.

"Commander, it's very windy tonight!"

"They're coming and going outside, like mice scurrying through holes!"

"Furthermore, we left more than a dozen cigarette butts in the nearby trash cans, most of which belonged to Huang Hongmei!"

Yang Zheng looked at the cigarette butts in the plastic bag and secretly gave Luo Ning a thumbs up.

Meanwhile, in the cafeteria, the investigation team members, all drunk, dispersed. As long as they kept an eye on Luo Ning and found out what he had discovered, they could…

Hmm... the roe deer meat tastes pretty good today! There's just a little bit too little!

At Commander Liu's house, there was a sudden knock on the door. Liu Yingge excitedly went to open it. "Mom, it must be Dad coming back to celebrate your birthday. Get a hundred yuan ready, a bet is a bet!"

She opened the door and saw a strange, square-faced man. Her gaze flickered behind her for a moment. "Dad, you're back!"

The man was stunned for a moment, and then he heard a bang as the door slammed shut. He angrily pulled out a wire and stuck it into the door.

With a click, the door opened, and the man slipped inside.

In the hospital, Yang Zheng opened the door, and Xie Chang'an, who was sitting opposite him, gave him a few instructions. Suddenly, he heard Ji Lin's voice, "Where's the doctor? Where is the doctor?"

Yang Zheng's expression hardened, and he hurriedly went out. He saw Ji Lin grabbing a doctor in a white coat and dragging him out, while Zhong Cheng, covered in blood, was being carried in.

Damn it! Yang Zheng's eyes were red with anger, and he rushed over to help.

"Doctor! Where is the doctor? Someone is injured!"
