Chapter 293 That was the tacit understanding cultivated since the days of wearing open-crotch pants.

After Bai Nuo and his group returned to Kaiyuan City, they did not go to the machinery factory to modify their vehicles as Bai Nuo had expected, without first informing the branch office.

Just as the group parked their car in front of the branch office, Captain Li, who had heard the commotion, ran out and stopped them.

Seeing Captain Li's solemn expression, the four men exchanged glances.

"Has something happened to the case again?" Liu Yanan, as the person in the four-person team who was in contact with the police, stepped forward first and blocked Captain Li's way at just the right moment.

When the four people left, the identities of the four victims in the unidentified corpse case had already been found, and the suspects had also been quickly identified. Logically, after a few days, the people should have been brought back.

Li Mingde sighed and shook his head: "It's not about that case. The case went smoothly after you left. The person was caught, and the case has been submitted to higher authorities. This time it's about Du Wenge."

"Du Wenge?" Liu Yanan frowned slightly, looking at Li Mingde with a puzzled expression. Without even glancing at the three people behind her, she asked, "We've heard about the uproar in the city. Wasn't it said that Du Wenge was killed at home by his enemies? What happened? Has the case been transferred to you?"

Bai Nuo stepped forward with a puzzled look on her face: "Captain Li, does the bureau need me to draw a sketch?"

Li Mingde glanced at the expressions of the four people, and finally focused on Bai Nuo. As the captain of the criminal investigation team, he was very good at observing people's subconscious expressions, eyes, and even some subtle movements.

These were not only what he learned from his master, but also the experience he accumulated in his work. However, whether it was Liu Yanan, Fang Meng, An Yun, or even Bai Nuo, who was the youngest and seemed the most harmless, none of them looked a little off.

It was really just curiosity and doubt; none of the four of them did anything wrong.

Li Mingde, despite his young age, had become the criminal investigation captain of the municipal public security bureau's branch office, so he was quite confident. Seeing the four people like this, he finally felt relieved after two days of anxiety and breathed a sigh of relief.

“That’s not it.” Li Mingde shook his head first, then said, “It’s good that you’re back. If you hadn’t come back, I really would have sent someone to look for you. Here’s what happened: Du Wenge was murdered at home, and the case was assigned to the Municipal Bureau’s Criminal Investigation Team. When some of Du Wenge’s subordinates gave their confessions, they implicated Comrade Bai Nuo, so the people from the Municipal Bureau’s Criminal Investigation Team came to ask Comrade Bai Nuo for some information.”

Before the people from the Municipal Bureau came out, Li Mingde quickly and concisely explained the situation to Bai Nuo and the other three.

As a police officer, he knew very well that he shouldn't have selfish motives, but Bai Nuo was a technician who had been seconded from their branch to provide support. On the night Du Wenge was killed, it was he and Lao Qiu who vouched for him and arranged for him to rest at the police guesthouse.

So, Bai Nuo is not only half one of their own in the branch, but also directly involved with him and Lao Qiu. If anything happens, he and Lao Qiu will be in trouble to some extent.

Fortunately, the outcome so far is positive.

"Huh?" Bai Nuo raised an eyebrow, looking at Li Mingde with surprise.

"Captain Li is joking. What does Du Wenge's matter have to do with my little cousin? She's only sixteen years old this year, and she's never even killed a chicken in her life."

When An Yun, Bai Nuo's cousin, heard this, he immediately stepped forward to Bai Nuo's side and stood protectively in front of her shoulder, shielding the little girl's entire left shoulder behind him. His meaning was quite clear.

Fang Meng stood silently behind the little girl, like a high mountain, protecting her completely when danger came.

On the other side, Liu Yanan remained motionless, obediently protecting Bai Nuo's right side, her gaze fixed intently on Li Mingde.

Bai Nuo smiled slightly, her eyes crinkling as she looked at An Yun, her tone light and cheerful: "Cousin, don't talk nonsense. I've even killed chickens before."

"You can even kill a chicken?" An Yun turned her head to look at him with a surprised expression.

"Our little girl is amazing now. She's only been in the countryside for half a year, and she's not only learned how to kill chickens, but she can also make traps in the mountains to catch rabbits and pheasants." Fang Meng raised a hand and placed it on the little girl's head, speaking with a proud and triumphant tone about her growth over the past six months.

"Wow, that's amazing!" An Yun smiled, her tone full of satisfaction, and nodded, saying, "Not bad, not bad, our little girl is really amazing now."

The two grown men both acted as if they were proud of their sister and were also coaxing a child to start school. Seeing this, Li Mingde felt even more that the Municipal Bureau of Criminal Investigation was inhuman, actually suspecting a sixteen-year-old girl who had only just learned how to kill chickens.

When Zhu Bao came out after hearing the news, he saw the youngest son of the Bai family, the second son of the Fang family, and Liu Yanan, who was also a police officer, standing in a triangle, protecting a cute and charming girl in the middle. He also heard their last words.

Killing a chicken?

You even tried to learn how to make traps to catch rabbits?

Oh!

But the information he found out was that this girl learned how to make traps from her grandfather.

His grandfather...he doesn't know anything about hunting!

His grandfather was an absolute master at shooting guns, firing cannons, and driving tanks.

Send that old man into the mountains to set traps, and I bet if we give the old man a gun, we can get some meat faster!

Oh, right!

I wonder if the old man knows that he is also a carpenter, and can even weave baskets and cushions!

He'd lived for over twenty years and this was the first time he'd ever heard of his grandfather being so multi-talented!
