Just as he finished speaking, Lu Yichen raised his head and said, "Big brother, what did you say just now?"
Ever since the incident, Lu Yichen had not said anything. He had been staring at the map constantly. Now that an hour had passed, this sudden question stunned Xia Zihou.
He stammered, "What, what did I say?"
"Oh oh oh, I said that those brainless people from the Dong family might not be able to do it."
Lu Yichen frowned. "Not this sentence, the next sentence--"
Xia Zihou blinked and said, "A dog that bites won't bark?"
When Lu Yichen heard that, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Yes, that's the sentence. A dog that bites won't bark--"
When he said that, everyone looked at him, not understanding what he meant. Could it be that he had found a clue?
Just as everyone was about to ask, the phone rang. Xia Zijun picked it up. "Hello, who is it?"
He frowned as soon as he finished speaking and looked at Xia Youyi.
...
The sudden visit of the Miao father and son made the Xia family confused. However, they thought of Kang Xiaoqiao's identity.
The Xia family was very grateful to Kang Xiaoqiao for helping the Xia family enter the capital. Although Kang Xiaoqiao didn't say it explicitly, Xia Zijun, as the person with the best intelligence, naturally told the Xia family about this matter.
Therefore, everyone understood the visit of the Miao family. They arrived in a short while.
Xia Youyi tidied his clothes and hat. Miao Zhibo's rank was higher than his, and his seniority was higher as well. Although he could be considered an ally, he still had to pay attention to what he should pay attention to.
Soon, Miao Zhibo's figure appeared at the door. He was no different from the rumors. He gave people the impression of an amiable and elegant person. However, his every move could not be ignored. This was the temperament of a superior.
Xia Youyi had been in a high-ranking position for many years, but he was a veteran ruffian and was used to being rough. Although it was not the first time he saw Miao Zhibo, he always felt that he was not used to it.
This kind of natural martial artist's feeling toward a scholar always felt that he had to be humble so that he would not be rude to others.
"Chief Miao, welcome, welcome--"
Miao Zhibo smiled slightly and replied with a military salute. "You're welcome, you're welcome. It's a little rude to come uninvited today."
Xia Youyi smiled and the two shook hands. Then, after they sat down, he said, "It's nothing. I'll come and go often in the future. I need to move around more. I just took office recently and have a lot of things on hand. I was thinking of visiting when I had time. I didn't expect you to come first."
"Well, Zijun, aren't you going to serve tea for your Uncle Miao?"
Miao Zhibo was one year younger than Xia Youyi. Xia Zijun smiled and poured a cup of tea over Xia Youyi smiled and said, "Head Miao, this is my eldest son, Xia Zihou. This is my youngest son, Xia Zijun. I also have a second son. He's in the northeast now."
Miao Zhibo smiled and took the tea. He praised, "Not bad, not bad. Brother Xia, you are really blessed. Blessed."
"Each and every one of them is full of spirit. They are all good seedlings."
Xia Youyi chuckled and looked proud. Then, he opened his mouth and said loudly, "Yichen, Yichen, quickly come over--"
After shouting, he smiled and said, "This is my nephew, Lu Yichen--"
After talking for a while, Xia Youyi frowned and shouted at Lu Yichen, who was still immersed in reading the map, "Yichen, what are you doing? And--"
Before he could finish, Miao Zhibo waved his hand and said, "I see that the child is busy. There's no need to shout."
"Well, Brother Xia, today's sudden visit is not for anything else. This is my son, Miao Yifu. He has a good relationship with that Kang girl. Let me ask him about the current situation."
"How did she suddenly get kidnapped? Is there any new progress?"
"I'm a local and am very familiar with this place. Why don't we talk while looking at the map?"
When Xia Youyi heard that, he immediately nodded and said, "That's good. To be honest, we are already anxious. However, the other party is very cunning. We have almost blocked everything that we can think of. However, until now, we still don't have any useful information."
Before Xia Youyi took out the map, Miao Zhibo had already spread out the map. He must have already studied it.
Once the map was spread out, everyone gathered around. Lu Yichen was still frowning as he pointed at an area--
At this moment, Miao Zhibo opened his mouth and asked, "Colonel Lu, did you find anything?"
Only then did Lu Yichen raise his head. When he saw Miao Zhibo, he was obviously a little surprised. He had been too engrossed in his analysis just now, so he didn't hear anyone coming at all.
Now that he saw the picture that looked very similar to Kang Xiaoqiao, he was even a little absent-minded. He thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him. He rubbed his eyes one by one, and only after he clearly saw the other party's epaulet did he confirm who this person was.
However, Lu Yichen's expression didn't change much. He directly said, "According to the current analysis, Xiaoqiao's kidnapping might not be as simple as seeking revenge--"
"From the moment the other party picked the spot to the execution, everything was planned very well. This shows that the other party is meticulous and good at grasping people's hearts. They also have a certain understanding of Xiaoqiao's habits."
"Xiaoqiao has received professional training and is quick-witted. She is very alert when facing danger. There is no reason for the other party to be able to subdue her with one move. Therefore, I judge that it might be an acquaintance who committed the crime."
"However, this acquaintance--"
Thinking of this, Lu Yichen frowned. There were not many people who were familiar with Kang Xiaoqiao. Coincidentally, Aunt Zhou was not around. Could it be that..?
However, Lu Yichen still shook his head. Everyone frowned after hearing it Xia Zijun said directly, "If you want to talk about familiarity, Kang Xiaoqiao has only been close to her roommates for the past four years. I haven't heard any bad rumors in school, but--"
After saying this, he looked at Miao Zhibo and said directly, "But I heard that Kang Xiaoqiao has a bit of a grudge with Uncle Miao's second daughter and third daughter."
Hearing this, Miao Zhibo narrowed his eyes. Then, he pointed to a few places and said, "If that's the case, why don't you send some people to these few places to take a look?"
"These few manors are my wife's dowry. Moreover, they are very close to Miss Kang's school, so the chances of hiding in them are very high."
As soon as Miao Zhibo said this, Xia Zijun choked. He was just saying it casually. Although it was the truth, he didn't expect that Miao Zhibo didn't follow common sense at all.
He actually sent people to search his wife's house in front of them--
What was this person up to?
Just as Xia Zijun was at a loss for an answer, Lu Yichen directly said coldly, "Search--"
