Chapter 533: The Mystery of Old Can

Chen Meng's words shocked me.

The Qilin Villa counterfeit money case ended with Old Can's sudden death. I had doubts about Old Can's death at the beginning, but the case was later taken over by the Municipal Bureau, and the Chunshan County Public Security Bureau didn't even touch the edge of it. I wasn't a person inside the public security, so it was completely reasonable for them not to tell me the specific case details according to their internal confidentiality regulations.

However, the Qilin Villa case was planned and arrested by me, and Hao Qiang, the director of the Suxi Township Police Station, and Lao Mo, the director of the county detention center, played important roles in this case. Without their investigation, I couldn't grasp the clues and couldn't make up my mind. However, after the case ended, Hao Qiang and Lao Mo not only didn't receive merit or awards but were instead isolated for investigation for some reasons.

So, the Qilin Villa case couldn't be said to have nothing to do with me.

I didn't take Chen Meng to find Professor Luo, but instead pressed the floor of the coffee shop.

Chen Meng seemed to have seen through my thoughts long ago and followed me into the coffee shop without a word, finding a secluded booth to sit down.

"What exactly happened?" I felt a bit impatient.

"His family is petitioning."

"Who?"

"The original boss, nicknamed Old Can."

"He has family?" I asked puzzled. I had dealt with Old Can many times and had never heard that he had a family. Everyone thought Old Can's home was Qilin Villa, and he was a lone person.

"Not only does he have one, but it seems there is some background." Chen Meng said contemptuously, "A criminal, can he turn the sky?"

I stopped her, "You can't say that. After all, it's a human life. Besides, this Old Can, I always feel he is not the real boss."

"Is that so?" Chen Meng widened her eyes and looked at me suspiciously, "Didn't you handle this case?"

I laughed, "I can't say I handled it. I just played a role of throwing a brick to attract jade. The specific case handling was all by the public security organs."

Chen Meng sipped her coffee and said, "When I wrote the news report at the beginning, no one was willing to be interviewed. Is there really any content in this?"

I stirred the coffee in the cup and said, "No one can say for sure. Mengmeng, how do you know his family is petitioning? What are they petitioning for?"

Chen Meng frowned and thought for a while, "My news is not very accurate either. A friend of mine told me that the deceased's family demanded an autopsy report of the deceased and demanded that the government give an explanation. They said Old Can was used, was wronged, and wanted to be rehabilitated."

The more I listened, the more absurd I felt, and the anger in my heart began to accumulate. Old Can still wanted to be rehabilitated? Although he died without a court verdict, his death didn't mean the things he did could be written off. According to the case verdict at the time, this Old Can deserved to be shot a hundred times.

The drug and counterfeit money case at Qilin Villa could be seen by anyone with a little understanding. Hao Qiang had also told me that Old Can shouldn't be the real boss. According to common sense analysis, the real boss would absolutely not take risks personally.

And Old Can, from the time Qilin Villa was built to its later operation, almost never left. This didn't make sense!

But who was the boss behind him?

Guan Peishan? Probably not. If he were the boss, he wouldn't have stayed in Qilin Villa for a long time and forgotten to return.

Suddenly, someone's shadow popped out of my mind. I was startled myself!

It shouldn't be him! I denied it myself first.

But his situation was very abnormal; a common criminal case in Chunshan County, how could he travel thousands of miles to guide it? Without his order, how could the Municipal Public Security Bureau intervene?

What was most puzzling was that after Old Can died, the public security announced the case closed.

At the commendation meeting after the case was closed, anyone who had half a relationship with the case was considered to have made a contribution, while Hao Qiang and Lao Mo, who investigated earliest, accepted an inexplicable isolated investigation. Although it was left unsettled in the end, it was actually telling Hao Qiang and Lao Mo that when it was time to shut up, they must shut up, and if they didn't, they would get into trouble.

This person was Vice Provincial Governor Lin!

Cold sweat broke out on my back. If Vice Provincial Governor Lin was really involved in this case, and it was turned over now, I was afraid a batch of people would die!

Seeing my face change, Chen Meng asked with concern, "Chen Feng, are you not feeling well?"

I shook my head, smiled faintly, and said, "Nothing. Let's not talk about this; anyway, it has nothing to do with us, better to talk about your Dian Dian."

I was consciously leading the topic to Chen Meng's child. I knew that all women in the world, whether strong or weak, as long as they talked about their children, would be incomparably gentle and radiant.

Sure enough, the smile on Chen Meng's face was immediately wrapped in a trace of maternal tenderness.

"This kid, he is exactly like He Jiaxiao." Chen Meng laughed, "Sometimes I get angry when I see him."

"If you are angry, beat him." I laughed, "Good people come from under the stick."

"Dare!" Chen Meng glared at me, looking as if she wanted to swallow me alive, "He Jiaxiao doesn't dare to move a finger of my son, you, as an uncle, how can you be like this."

I argued, "I mean, children can't be spoiled; if they are spoiled, they are prone to problems."

When I said this, what jumped into my mind was He Jiaxiao. Thinking back to when this kid first arrived in Hengyue City, he took down Xuelai on the ring road in less than an hour. If it weren't for my aunt's spoiling, even if he were given three guts, he wouldn't dare.

What was most infuriating was that this kid didn't consider the consequences when doing things. He got someone pregnant and left it alone; I didn't know if Xuelai's pregnancy was true or false, but a girl usually wouldn't make a joke about her reputation.

He Jiaxiao had restrained himself a lot after meeting Chen Meng, and I hadn't heard of him messing around outside. But what was up with Qin Fang whom I saw in the provincial capital last time?

He Jiaxiao returned to Hengyue City to get married, and Qin Fang just let him go easily?

I looked at Chen Meng opposite me, and couldn't help but pity this woman in my heart.

Chen Meng loved He Jiaxiao, and she loved him deeply and cutely. Others couldn't see it, but could I not see it?

I didn't know whether pulling them together was for their own good or harming her!

"I don't spoil him." Chen Meng said seriously, "If he doesn't listen, I'll do it."

"Can you bear it?" I asked with a smile.

"I can bear it, it's just his grandmother, she spoils him too much." Chen Meng said helplessly, "If this continues, I'm not prepared to let his grandmother bring him anymore."

"My aunt is a high-level intellectual." I said, "She is willing to be the child's nanny, which is something you can't ask for."

Chen Meng rolled her eyes at me contemptuously, "Your family, they are all good people, okay. Only I am a bad person."

From Chen Meng's words, I learned that I actually had a pivotal position in my cousin's family. Every time my cousin taught He Jiaxiao a lesson, he had to take me as an example. Even my aunt Wanru, who loved her son, now had to let He Jiaxiao learn from me in front of Chen Meng.

The light outside the window darkened, and the neon lights on the high-rise buildings in the distance had already lit up their eyes.

I checked my watch; it was almost the time agreed with the comrades of the municipal party committee reception group, so I got up and said, "Secretary Chen is coming, I have to go report on work."

Chen Meng sat still, looking at me sideways, "You don't care about me anymore?"

I apologized and laughed, "Your dad is coming, I have to go report on work."

Chen Meng gave a huff and said, "Go, just go. You, you still haven't shed your worldly ways."

I asked strangely, "How to be refined?"

Chen Meng also stood up, tidying her clothes, and said without raising her head, "A beauty is in front of you, but you cast aside the beauty for your own private desires. Such a person, have you become refined?"

I couldn't laugh or cry, and muttered a sentence: "Even if you are the seventh fairy in heaven, I can only look from afar and cannot play with you! Because you are my sister-in-law."

After saying this, I hurried out; I didn't know what earth-shattering words Chen Meng would say next. Rather than being embarrassed, it was better to escape.

Chen Meng didn't call me, letting me go straight back to the floor where the room was.

Little Qiu's door was open, and I saw him leaning back in his chair, his hands beating the rhythm with the music on the TV.

Old Ma had gone out long ago. I went straight to knock on Professor Luo's door.

Professor Luo was a very rigorous person; he had already packed up and was waiting for me.

Finally, only Gan Lu was left.

After knocking for a long time, Gan Lu came to open the door.

She was wearing a set of pajamas, her hair was disheveled, and her face was pale.

I was about to speak, but she turned and walked inside.

I had no choice but to follow her in, seeing Gan Lu shrinking into the quilt again, only revealing her bloodless face.

I asked with concern, "Stomach not feeling well?"

Gan Lu nodded, a trace of pain flashing across her face.

"Why didn't you call me?" I was a little anxious, reaching out to touch her forehead.

When my hand reached in front of her, Gan Lu suddenly opened her mouth and bit my hand. ===== CHAPTER 534 =====
