“That’s true, but the police didn’t find Wei Juan at the Jiang family’s house, and they didn’t find any tunnels or secret rooms,” Mo Long explained.
In that case, Jiang Yu had to accept it. But even though she accepted it, it didn’t mean that it was true.
Jiang Yu was still skeptical, so she said to Mo Long, “Can I go to the Jiang family’s house to take a look?”
“Don’t you have classes recently?” Mo Long asked.
“No classes tomorrow afternoon,” Jiang Yu said quickly.
Mo Long hesitated for a moment, but he still agreed. “Okay, I’ll talk to Chief Luo. However, since Jiang Hai and Wei Juan were not in the Jiang family, he probably wouldn’t send too many people to guard the Jiang family. Be careful when you go. Bring your friends with you. I have work and can’t get away from it recently. I’ll ask Teng Yi to go and protect you.”
“There’s no need. Just let Teng Yi help you with your work.” Jiang Yu’s eyes were curved, she smiled and said, “I’ll just bring Xiao Qi and the others. Besides, aren’t there policemen outside the door? There are so many people around me. Don’t worry. I’m just going to take a look. I’ll be back in less than half an hour.”
“Okay, you must protect yourself,” Mo Long reminded her.
“Got it, don’t worry.”
The two of them chatted for a while more before Jiang Yu hung up the phone reluctantly.
Then, she sent a message to Lu Qi and Dai Zhu to tell them about it. She wanted them to accompany her to visit the Jiang family tomorrow.
Dai Zhu immediately replied, “No problem at all! It just so happens that I’ve been cooped up in school recently. I’m almost bored to death!”
Lu Qi also replied, “I haven’t had much class schedule recently, so I have a lot of free time.”
As for Kang Xue, she had recently returned to the Kang family home and didn’t come back, so Jiang Yu didn’t tell her.
The next afternoon, Jiang Yu went to the Jiang family home with Lu Qi and the others.
There were only two or three police officers guarding the door.
They had also received Luo Hao’s orders. Therefore, they didn’t stop Jiang Yu when she said she wanted to go in.
Jiang Yu pushed open the door to the Jiang family’s house. Everything was the same as she remembered. Nothing had changed.
She walked inside and saw a pot of withered flowers on the windowsill of the kitchen. However, the roots were still very fresh and even had a faint green color.
“This pot of flowers is Jiang Ran’s favorite.” Jiang Yu looked at the pot of flowers, “From the time she has been in prison until now, if no one had watered it, this pot of flowers would have rotted long ago. Jiang Hai has never paid attention to these things, so the only explanation is that Wei Juan watered the flowers.”
“In other words, Wei Juan has been watering the flowers, but she hasn’t watered them recently, so this pot of flowers has withered.” Lu Qi also looked at the pot of flowers carefully, “Could it be that Wei Juan couldn’t stand the fact that her daughter was in prison, and her husband had been doing nothing, so she left the Jiang Family?”
“If she really couldn’t stand it, she would have left when Jiang Ran was in prison,” Jiang Yu guessed, “She has been in the Jiang family, and she has been watering the flowers. But I don’t know what happened recently, so she can’t water the flowers.”
“…Could it be…” A terrible thought suddenly popped up in Dai Zhu’s mind. “Jiang Hai has imprisoned Wei Juan?!”
As soon as she said this, Jiang Yu and Lu Qi turned their eyes to her.
“Hey, don’t look at me like that! I’m just guessing!” Dai Zhu explained in a panic.
However, Jiang Yu felt that her guess was very reasonable. “Wei Juan has been watering the flowers, so what happened recently that prevented her from watering the flowers? Jiang Hai has also been secretive about not letting us see Wei Juan. Why? It’s because Jiang Hai has imprisoned her. He was afraid that we would hear Wei Juan’s cry for help when we went in, so he didn’t let us in. Moreover, the police have been monitoring Jiang Hai recently. He didn’t have the chance to move Wei Juan outside, so Wei Juan must still be at the Jiang Residence.”
“But didn’t Mo Long say that the police didn’t find Wei Juan at the Jiang Family?” Lu Qi looked around and also felt that the Jiang family didn’t have a secret room.
Jiang Yu looked up at the ceiling and said, “The secret room and the tunnel, who said it must be underground?”
Lu Qi and Dai Zhu followed Jiang Yu’s line of sight and could only see a ceiling with a chandelier.
But they understood what Jiang Yu meant.
Dai Zhu covered her mouth in surprise. “Jiang Yu, you mean… Wei Juan is locked up in the ceiling? This is a plot that only appears in suspense novels! It should be very rare in real life, right?”
