Chapter 50: Beautiful Wu Sends a Cat
"How's the situation?" Wu Qingluan smiled and thanked Chen Yuanyuan. As soon as she said this, Chen Yuanyuan quickly realized that she should go out. She smiled playfully and said to everyone, "Comrade police, you guys chat first. I'll go see if there's anything else I need to pay attention to about the cat."
She went out tactfully, and Gu Nankai told Wu Qingluan what he had just learned. Wu Qingluan analyzed, "This cat should have some traces of Xie Lingling. She wants to be good to this cat, probably to make up for her past self. This also proves that Xie Lingling must have suffered some traumatic injuries."
"There is only one road in front of Chen Yuanyuan's pet clinic. She said that she sometimes saw Xie Lingling walking there. So now we can be sure that Xie Lingling does not work here. We still have to start with her main social relationship in the main street area. This is just a place where she lives."
Gu Nankai took over Wu Qingluan's words, but soon Cao Cang sighed and said, "But judging from the current situation, Xie Lingling should be a girl who doesn't like to socialize with others. It may be difficult for us to find her social connections."
"Yes, I always feel that Xie Lingling is a very contradictory woman. She tries her best to break away from some things, but seems to be somewhat obsessed with them. It's a very strange feeling." Wu Qingluan also expressed her thoughts.
The three people all had this view. Gu Nankai encouraged them: "It's okay. Let's go back first and see if there is any situation with Gao Yuan and Li Meng. As long as there is a clue, we will have hope."
"By the way, what about the cat?" The three people stood up and prepared to leave. Wu Qingluan mentioned the cat, and Gu Nankai was also stunned. They had already learned what they should know from the cat, but now the question came, what to do with the cat?
"My sister loves cats so much. She always asks me to buy her one. This cat..." Cao Cang scratched the back of his head shyly: "Why don't you give me this cat? I'll take it home and let my sister raise it, so she won't always complain that I don't accompany her."
Gu Nankai and Wu Qingluan asked at the same time: "You have a younger sister?"
A hint of shyness flashed across Cao Cang's face, but it was obvious that his eyes were full of doting when he talked about his sister. He nodded, and Gu Nankai and Wu Qingluan also breathed a sigh of relief. Wu Qingluan spoke first: "It's settled, this cat will be given to your sister. Wait a minute, the cat food here by Chen Yuanyuan is quite good, I'll buy some for you to take back, otherwise you'll be busy again. By then, you'll have to handle the case while cleaning up a new home for your sister's cat, and you'll be too busy to handle it."
"Teacher Wu, I'll do it, I won't let you spend money." Cao Cang got anxious when he heard this and hurried to stop Wu Qingluan, but Gu Nankai grabbed his arm and said, "Our teacher Wu doesn't have , but she treats someone else's sister as her own sister even though she hasn't even met her. Cao Cang, just give her a chance. Teacher Wu would love this. Go back and tell your sister that this cat was given to her by her sister whom she has never met. If you have time one day, let the sisters reunite and recognize each other as relatives, then Teacher Wu will be satisfied."
Gu Nankai's words made it difficult for Cao Cang to refuse. Wu Qingluan's heart was inexplicably moved by the tacit understanding between him and herself. Knowing that Gu Nankai knew her intention, she rolled her eyes at Gu Nankai, but still said: "Cao Cang, you really have to let me meet my sister one day, so that I can experience the feeling of being a sister."
Cao Cang smiled, not knowing what he was feeling in his heart. At this moment, he seemed to feel at home. Wu Qingluan and Gu Nankai's words made him feel the happiness of family life. He still felt embarrassed, but finally gave up the idea of refusing and accepted Wu Qingluan's kindness generously.
"When the case is solved, I will treat everyone to a meal. Then I will bring the little girl out for you to introduce her, and let her see how pretty her sister is."
Wu Qingluan walked out with a smile, and Gu Nankai patted him on the shoulder a few times: "That's right, we are all family members in the serious crime team, there is no need to distinguish between you and me, don't you think?"
Cao Cang laughed, his eyes a little moist. Fortunately, Gu Nankai couldn't see his expression, so he quickly kept this emotion in his heart.
Gu Nankai and Cao Cang drove the car and waited for Wu Qingluan at the door. Unexpectedly, after just a short while, Wu Qingluan came out with a lot of bags, and Chen Yuanyuan beside her also carried a lot of things in her hands. The two men looked at each other in bewilderment. Wu Qingluan saw the two men standing there in a daze and shouted, "What are you standing there for? Come and get your things. I still have to go in and get the cat."
Cao Cang quickly ran over and took all the things in her hands and said, " Teacher Wu, this is too much. I'm so embarrassed to spend so much. How about you return some of these things? I really..."
Before he could finish his words, Wu Qingluan interrupted him rudely: "What's there to be embarrassed about? What's too much? You men just don't understand. You have to prepare everything for this cat, including food, daily necessities and water. Not to mention that this little Croton is in such poor health, how can you just take care of it casually?"
She suddenly looked at Cao Cang with an angry expression, which made Cao Cang unable to react for a moment, but he heard her say very seriously: "Cao Cang! Don't you consider me a good friend!"
"No, no, I really didn't!" Cao Cang hurriedly explained. He was not a talkative person, especially when he was excited. Now being asked by Wu Qingluan, the young man's face turned red and he didn't know how to answer. He looked at Gu Nankai behind him for help.
Seeing him like this, Gu Nankai quickly came up to rescue him. He said to Cao Cang with a mysterious look on his face: "Cao Cang, don't try to reason with the beauties in the serious crime squad. Just look at Shang Lu and Li Meng, and you will know. What's more, women like Teacher Wu are said to be. Besides, don't underestimate the purchasing power of a woman."
Wu Qingluan looked at Gu Nankai with gritted teeth. Gu Nankai remained indifferent and just smiled at her. He asked Cao Cang to take the things and put them away and go back as soon as possible. Cao Cang did not dare to say anything more. He obediently put all the things Wu Qingluan bought into the car, and then the three of them drove back to the serious crime team.
When he arrived at the serious crime team, Cao Cang first left the cat with the doorman, and then hurried to the office to meet up with Gu Nankai and the others. At this time, everyone in the serious crime team had already gathered. As soon as Cao Cang arrived, Gu Nankai quickly got into work mode.
"Gao Yuan, tell me about your situation first. How have you investigated Xie Lingling's personal information?" Gu Nankai first looked at Gao Yuan, motioning him to start reporting his progress.
Gao Yuan shook his head left and right, moved his shoulders, and began his report.
"Based on Xie Lingling 's ID card, I checked Xie Lingling's household registration through the Ministry of Public Security's household registration system. Xie Lingling is from Qi County. Xie Lingling's biological father died of illness when Xie Lingling was a child. When Xie Lingling was eight years old, her mother remarried with Xie Lingling. Her stepfather has two older brothers. Because Qi County is far away, I called the police station there to learn about her family situation. According to the police station there, Xie Lingling has a good relationship with her stepfather's family. The family is still a low-income household there. The two brothers are a bit idle. Xie Lingling came out to work five years ago and only goes back once or twice a year."
Gu Nankai nodded and asked, "Have you notified her family to come and identify the body?"
"I've notified them and asked the whole family to come over. In case anything happens to their family, we can find out about it while we're at it. Otherwise, we'll be running back and forth and wasting our time." Gao Yuan told them his plan.
