Chapter 133 Travel Together
Yubin County is a large and prosperous county in Dongzhou.
Although it is just a county, its tourism industry is very developed. In recent years, there have been frequent rumors that the county will be transformed into a city. Regardless of whether it will succeed or not, it does not prevent people from coming to invest in waves.
Tu Guoan’s hometown is in Yuji Town, Yubin County.
The sky was overcast when Chi Xia and Luo Xun set out, and it began to drizzle when they were halfway through the journey.
Luo Xun closed the car window and turned on the air conditioner: "Looking at the weather, it's going to rain heavily again."
Chi Xia looked at the time: "There's still half an hour left. We should be there when the rain gets heavier."
Luo Xun hummed: "Tu Guolin is a smart man. With his wealth and ability, it would not be difficult for him to move the headquarters to the city, but he just stayed in Yubin. With the development of Yubin's tourism industry over the years, he has become a big boss. He is quite impressive."
"One is a successful entrepreneur who guards a place, while the other is a low-level repairman who can barely make ends meet. In this comparison, Tu Guolin is indeed amazing."
The raindrops got heavier. Chi Xia flipped through the information of the two brothers Tu Guoan and Tu Guolin again. "And Captain Luo, from the clues you found, the two brothers basically stopped communicating after their parents divorced, and their relationship is very ordinary ."
"If the two brothers had a good relationship, Tu Guoan wouldn't be a repairman who couldn't even afford to eat, so it's even more strange that Tu Guoan went to find Tu Guolin before he was arrested."
Luo Xun reached out his hand: "I'm a little thirsty, give me some water."
Chi Xia unscrewed the water bottle and handed it to him. After he finished drinking, he said, "This is indeed very strange. When we meet Tu Guolin later, we can have a good chat with him about this issue. Tu Guoan is a man with a strong self-esteem. Based on my analysis of him, it is a bit inconsistent with his character for him to look for Tu Guolin at that time."
"good."
Luo Xun moved his upper body, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Chi Xia staring at the rain outside the window and becoming dazed again.
It had been more than two hours' drive since they set out. Several times, her attention , and she just stared out the window in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Chi Xia." He coughed lightly: "I want to ask you a question."
Chi Xia looked over and said, "Captain Luo, are you embarrassed by this?"
"A little bit." Luo Xun said, "After all, it's a personal matter."
Chi Xia became even more curious: "What's the problem? Ask it, I want to hear it."
"That..." Luo Xun gritted his teeth: "What are you talking about with that Bai..."
"Qu Bai." Chi Xia said.
"Yes, Qu Bai."
Luo Xun cleared his throat: "I saw you two that day, at the entrance of the hotel, I saw you walking together... Did you have any conflicts?"
"No."
Chi Xia shook her head: "We just met by chance that day. To say that we had a conflict... I wouldn't say so. It just happened that I was not in a good mood at the time. After you changed the locks that day, a friend from Qincheng came to see me. Um... It was the doctor who was in charge of my health, and a brother who took good care of me."
She deliberately avoided the part about Qu Bai. Luo Xun's eyes flickered, and he didn't ask any more questions. He just said, "So when you said you were scolded, did you mean you were scolded by your doctor?"
"Yes." Chi Xia smiled again as he recalled, "A very interesting old man."
When she talked about the people in Qincheng, her expression became lively. Luo Xun thought that she must have had a very happy time in Qincheng.
"It's OK." He laughed dryly: "If you need any help, just ask."
"Okay." Chi Xia nodded: "Captain Luo, don't worry, I will never be polite."
Luo Xun didn't want to ask any further. When the drizzle turned into heavy rain, the two arrived at Tu Guolin's company headquarters in Yubin County.
Yubin Xiangye Group.
When the two of them came out, they forgot to bring an umbrella. After parking the car, they had to cross a road to go to Tu Guolin's company, and they would definitely get wet.
Luo Xun took off his coat without thinking and put it on Chi Xia's head: "Let's go, run over there."
Before Chi Xia could react , he had already run out.
Soon, she ran over wearing Luo Xun's clothes.
Even so, both of them got their clothes wet, especially their shoes, which were soaked in water. Chi Xia was better off, but Luo Xun was a little embarrassed.
They cleaned up at the door before going in. Luo Xun walked straight to the front desk. Just as he was about to take out his police ID, he stopped and turned to look at Chi Xia: "You come."
Chi Xia felt a little happy. She took out her police ID and said to the front desk, "Police, I'm looking for your boss. We made an appointment three days ago and agreed to meet today."
When the receptionist heard that it was the police, he immediately understood: "Are you police comrades from the city? Um... Officer Luo?"
"Yes." Luo Xun said, "Take us to see your boss."
"I'm so sorry..."
The receptionist looked at Luo Xun and Chi Xia with an apologetic look on her face: "Our chairman had to leave for something, officers, why don't we make another appointment..."
"Left?" Luo Xun's face turned cold: "Where did he go?"
"Yuji." said the receptionist.
"Yuji Town?"
Luo Xun rolled up his sleeves: "Why did he go to Yuji?"
The receptionist smiled politely: "I'm not sure about that."
"When did he leave?" Chi Xia took out a few tissues and gave them to Luo Xun, motioning him to wipe his neck.
While Luo Xun was wiping his neck, he heard the receptionist say, "I'm not sure about this, but the chairman hasn't come to the company for two days."
Two days, Luo Xun made an appointment to meet three days ago in the afternoon.
How could such a coincidence happen?
Chi Xia received a message from Lin Wenjue on her cell phone, and she looked down.
Lin Wenjue said that there might be heavy rainstorms in the next two days, so he asked her and Luo Xun to be careful. If they were still on the road, they should return to the city and wait until the rain stopped.
Chi Xia replied to him and looked at the rain outside: "While there is still time, Captain Luo, we should still have time to go to Yuji."
Luo Xun asked the front desk a few more questions, but the receptionist didn't know the answer to any of them. He was a little upset that Tu Guolin broke his promise.
"Okay, let's go to Yuji too." Luo Xun said.
Chi Xia walked to the door and turned around but didn't see Luo Xun. She thought he had gone to the bathroom. She waited for two minutes but no one came out.
Just as she was about to call him, Chi Xia saw him coming out with a bag and an umbrella in his hands.
Luo Xun walked up to her and opened his umbrella: "Let's go, I just went to borrow an umbrella."
The two of them walked to the car holding umbrellas, and Luo Xun opened the back door: "You sit in the back."
"Why?" Chi Xia wondered.
Luo Xun handed her the bag in his hand: "I bought a set of their employee uniforms and a pair of shoes. You go upstairs and change, and I'll go upstairs after you're done."
Chi Xia looked at him absentmindedly.
Luo Xun snapped his fingers in front of her eyes: "Why are you daydreaming? Hurry up, if the rain gets any heavier we won't be able to catch up with Yuji."
Chi Xia exclaimed, took the bag and got into the car, while Luo Xun waited outside the car with an umbrella.
After changing her clothes and shoes, she knocked on the car window, and Luo Xun put away his umbrella and got in the car.
"It fits me well." Chi Xia leaned forward: "Captain Luo, why didn't you buy one for yourself?"
Luo Xun wiped his face and neck casually, entered the address , and started the car: "Do you think I don't have it? It's just that there is no size that I can wear."
Chi Xia burst out laughing: "I'm sorry for that, Captain Luo."
Luo Xun shrugged: "Ge Jingyi has a friend who runs an inn in Yuji. She booked a room for us. It seems that we won't be able to get back tonight because of the rain. We should be prepared for the worst. If we get to Yuji, Tu Guolin might play tricks on us."
"Ms. Ge Jingyi is mighty."
Chi Xia praised him half-heartedly: "Captain Luo, how did you get to know Master Ba?"
"That's a long story."
Luo Xun smiled and said, "Let her tell you herself next time. I'm afraid she'll chop me with a knife if I tell her."
Chi Xia's joyful laughter rang out in the car, and after she finished laughing, she said, "Okay, I'll go ask in person."
She paused and asked, "But Captain Luo, you said that Tu Guolin left Yubin knowing that the police would come to look for him, and he went to Yuji, why?"
"He has been living with his mother since his parents divorced and has rarely been back to Yuji. And from the information, he only started to develop business in Yuji in recent years. It's quite interesting that he went to Yuji in person at this time. Let's go and take a look. We can't let us make a wasted trip."
Chi Xia sat back down: "Okay."
The rain was getting heavier. Chi Xia couldn't sit still anymore, so he leaned forward, resting his chin on the back of the chair, watching the wipers swaying from side to side.
She sighed quietly: "Captain Luo, do you think Tu Guoan was in such a hurry to die? Was he trying to protect someone?"
For example, Tu Guolin?
