Chapter 111: Investigation
After dinner, Master Qian asked Lu Jiaxin what he wanted him to do. Gu Wenfeng told him before that Lu Jiaxin needed help for something to do, but he didn't say what he wanted to do. Mainly because Gu Wenfeng didn't know either, so naturally there was no way to tell him.
"You come in with me."
Entering the study, Lu Jiaxin asked, "Do you know anyone in Sijiu City?"
"I know a lot of people, what kind of people are you looking for?"
Lu Jiaxin did not hide anything from him and said, "I want to investigate Ding Jing and her natal family. Ding Jing is the woman my father married, and my best friend in high school Kang Tongtong and her family."
Gu Wenfeng had told Master Qian about Lu Jiaxin's family situation. This investigation into the stepmother and her family is understandable, but it is unusual to investigate a high school classmate: "Why did that classmate offend you?"
Lu Jiaxin said: "She persuaded me to go back to my hometown to relax, and she also said not to tell my dad and family. This would make my dad very anxious and know how important I am."
Master Qian looked at her with scrutiny and said, "It will cost a lot to investigate these people. Can you afford so much money?"
He had never doubted Lu Jiaxin's financial resources before coming here. After all, Gu Wenfeng was very reliable in his mind. It's just that this girl was deceived and almost died by a few words. It doesn't feel good!
"Don't worry, I made a lot of money in Yangcheng."
Master Qian looked at her and said: "Miss Lu, for Afeng's sake, it's okay for me and Xiaoxiao to work for you for a few days, but not for my friends. They risked their lives to investigate for you. It's not enough." The reward won’t do it.”
Lu Jiaxin went back to the house, took a stack of thick dumplings, put them on the table, and said, "This is five thousand, should it be enough?"
Five thousand is a very large amount of money these days.
Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Seeing her easily take out five thousand yuan, Master Qian was relieved. He asked: "What do you want to investigate?"
Lu Jiaxin said: "I have seen Ding Jing wearing gold bracelets and necklaces at home several times, and the styles of those bracelets are different. My dad said he never bought them for her. Where did they come from? It could only be bribery. ”
Women all like jewelry, but Lu Hongjun will definitely be reported if he wears gold and silver outside. You can't wear it to show off, just wear it at home to enjoy yourself. She was still a child and didn't think much about it when she saw it. Her tutor wouldn't tell anyone what happened at home, so Ding Jing didn't put her guard up.
Master Qian looked at her in confusion: "You can tell from the gold jewelry that Ding Jing has accepted bribes. Why can your classmate trick you into returning to your hometown alone with just a few words? You were almost kidnapped."
Lu Jiaxin showed a sarcastic smile: "I have gone to the King of Hell once. If I don't grow up and become as stupid as before, I will waste the opportunity of King Yama to let me come back."
Master Qian had a lot of experience and said with relief: "This is a blessing in disguise for you. However, how can you conclude that the Ding family helped to accept bribes?"
Lu Jiaxin said: "People in the family hospital are talkative. If someone comes to my house all the time, they will definitely be suspected. Ding Jing's brother is a big talker, and he wants the whole world to know about the smallest thing; her brother is a researcher, watching He Shan is actually a man who hides his sword behind his smile. "
Master Qian wrote down all these words and said, "Where is your classmate? Why do you think she wants to harm you?"
Lu Jiaxin thought about this matter carefully and said, "Kang Tongtong's father is the director of a building materials factory and his family is very well off. If you can't seduce her with material things, then you can only use threats. But she has a lively and cheerful temperament and gets along well with everyone. , her mind is also on studying, there can't be any clues or stains. Ding Jing should have taken advantage of her parents. I have met her mother, a very virtuous woman, so the problem should be with her father. "
Master Qian asked: "First check Ding Jing, Ding Xiaodi and Kang Tongtong's father,"
"If there is nothing wrong with Kang Tongtong's father, then we can check on her mother." Lu Jiaxin said. The probability is very low, but some things cannot be taken at face value.
Master Qian went out the next day and didn't come back until evening. He went to Lu Jiaxin and said that the person had been found, and the other party was willing to help her investigate these three people, but the cost was relatively high.
Hearing his quotation, Lu Jiaxin became uneasy: "Five thousand deposit, and another five thousand after the deal is completed? Your friend wants to kill me like a fat sheep, right?"
This is not high, this is outrageous! Nowadays, pork only costs one yuan and a pound, and vegetables cost a few cents a pound and no one wants them. The three people to be investigated are not big shots. Even if the other party knew about it, they would not dare to kill and silence them, so there is no need for such a high fee.
Master Qian coughed and said, "I told them to give them five thousand first, and then we will decide based on the investigation. If it is easy to find evidence of the crime, we don't have to pay anymore; if the other party hides it for a long time, we will not have to pay anymore." If it’s dangerous, then add more money.”
This Lu Jiaxin is acceptable. She said: "Okay, five thousand first. But I can't show up. My dad still has some connections in Sijiu City. If he finds out, it will be troublesome."
Master Qian looked at her and said: "Husband and wife are one. Are you sure you really want to investigate that woman? That woman's bribery must be proven, and your father will not be able to escape."
Lu Jiaxin looked very cold: "As long as he doesn't do anything illegal or disciplined, he will retire two years early. If he embezzles and accepts bribes like Ding Jing, he deserves to be caught."
Master Qian reminded: "Your father is going to be arrested and imprisoned. If you can't pass the political review, you may not even be able to go to college."
Lu Jiaxin really hadn't thought about this problem. She said, "The policy is now more relaxed than before. If you pass the exam, you should be able to study."
Master Qian said, "Don't be lucky. I think even if you want to get Ding Jing, you have to wait until you go to college. It's not worth it to affect your future for such a woman."
Both Lu's mother and the original body wish to get into college. She will definitely take the exam and go to school if she gets in. Lu Jiaxin said, "There is nothing now. It's too early to say this."
Master Qian was worried that she hadn't considered these things. He reminded her and she still decided to do it. No one can blame her.
The next morning, Xue Mao avoided Xiaoxiao and Lu Jiaxin and said, "Xinjie, I found that the fifth sister-in-law doesn't like Master Qian and Xiaoxiao. She didn't let Qiangqiang and Xiaofeng go out these two days."
"Don't worry, she will move out soon."
"The house hasn't been bought yet, where will she move to?"
Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "She came back so late yesterday and today to look at houses. She has plenty of money on hand, so she should be able to find a house soon."
From the moving incident, she found that Ma Lili didn't know the priorities. After getting married, she should focus on her small family, but she always puts her mother's family first. Under the partiality of Ma's father and mother and Ma Dahua's sarcasm, Wu Ge repeatedly urged her to move and even stayed away from home, but she refused to give in and insisted on the adoption. She even endured the injustice to her husband and the bullying of her children.
