Li Ling has heard the word "no" too many times.

He doesn't think the mission will change with the addition of a young auxiliary police officer.

Hu Pingtao spoke clearly, and the word "you" suppressed the words that Li Ling had already spoken.

He had no ill intentions, he just wanted to comfort this young auxiliary police officer from Eryuan Road Police Station out of habit.

Everyone in the entire anti-narcotics brigade looked down upon Hu Pingtao, thinking that he was just "coming here to help".

Yes, doing business, not handling cases.

"Xiaohu, what did you find?" Li Ling turned around from the driver's seat, his face full of interest and surprise.

Hu Pingtao fixed his hairstyle with mousse, put on a black fisherman's hat, looked in the mirror and quickly checked whether his image overlapped with the previous one, and casually said: "We'll talk about it later."

He opened the car door and jumped out, turned the corner, and on the road not far ahead, he met He Ping, who had returned on time to take over the make-up. Further behind her, you could see Li Lihong who was checking out with the food stall owner.

He Ping got in the car, and Li Ling quickly picked up a cardboard partition placed on the seat next to him and hung it on the rearview mirror. Conditions were limited. According to regulations, he could not leave the driver's seat, so he could only use this method to avoid embarrassment.

.

He Ping changed clothes in the back seat, took off her long skirt, put on light gray trousers, added a darker jacket, untied her hair, and used makeup to change her skin tone. Her age suddenly increased by at least ten years.

age.

Li Ling's curious voice came from the driver's seat: "He Ping, I heard from Xiaohu that you found something wrong with Li Lihong?"

He Ping, who was wiping off the lipstick on her mouth with a wet tissue, stopped and replied doubtfully: "No! I have been staring at her the whole way and didn't notice anything unusual."

Li Ling's tone was a little weird: "I just asked Xiaohu and he said yes."

He Ping shook her head and wiped her lips vigorously: "Impossible. Li Lihong got on the bus at the bus station and ate rice noodles after getting off the bus just like the previous times. It has been like this for several years and it has not changed."

Li Ling held the steering wheel with both hands and looked at Hu Pingtao who was gradually moving away from him through the windshield covered with sunscreen film. He frowned: "Then this kid is teasing me on purpose?"

He Ping's heart skipped a beat. She didn't want to cause conflicts among her colleagues because of this, so she said vaguely: "Maybe Xiaohu has seen some problems. Well...don't worry, we'll talk about it when we get back to the team."

Li Ling said "hmm" gloomily.

At this moment, his impression of Hu Pingtao dropped sharply and he failed.

…

He Ping quickly caught up with Hu Pingtao who followed Li Linhong into the village. There were many people visiting Nanquan Village, all of whom were unfamiliar faces, and the local villagers had long been accustomed to them.

Hu Pingtao was sitting under a big tree on the side of the road enjoying the shade. The location here is very good. You can see the closed door of Li Lihong's old house. There happens to be a low wall on the side. You have to go close to see his diagonal face.

figure.

He Ping walked under the shade of a tree, pretended to appreciate the scenery, and asked in a low voice: "Li Ling said, have you discovered anything?"

Hu Pingtao maintained a fixed sitting posture and said in the same low voice: "Yes."

"What did you find?" He Ping was a little surprised.

"We're not sure yet. Let's talk about it when we get back." After saying that, Hu Pingtao stood up and left, walking north along the village road.

…

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the door of the Li family's old house opened. Li Lihong left the house and knocked on the door of the neighbor next door. Half an hour later, she reappeared carrying a large bag on her back and carrying heavy vegetables in both hands. Along the way,

Walk towards the station at the entrance of the village.

The scheduled return time of the shuttle bus is 4pm.

Hu Pingtao and He Ping got into the same car and continued to monitor Li Lihong.

When the bus arrived at the bus station and got off, Li Lihong took the vegetables and walked home.

The day's surveillance is over.

Hu Pingtao swept a shared bicycle and left.

He Ping walked to the nearby bus stop and got on the bus for two stops. When she got off, Li Ling's car was already parked on the side of the road.

…

At seven o'clock in the evening, the office of the Anti-Narcotics Brigade of Gudu Public Security Bureau.

Captain Lei Yue and deputy captain Li Guangyi walked into the room and looked at Hu Pingtao, He Ping, and Li Ling who were already waiting there. Lei Yue pulled a folding chair from the side and sat down, casually saying: "Tell me everything."

Well, is there anything abnormal about the target?"

Neither Lei Yue nor Li Guangyi have any hope for this problem. Li Lihong has been under routine surveillance for several years. Every time this woman returns to her old house in the countryside from a rented house in the city, just to get food, she

And it is rigid and never changes.

It's more of a routine matter than asking about the surveillance results.

He Ping and Li Ling remained silent and unanimously focused their attention on Hu Pingtao.

Upon seeing this, Lei Yue and Li Guangyi were deeply surprised.

Li Ling spoke first: "Xiaohu said he made a discovery."

On the way back, he reconfirmed from He Ping that there was nothing abnormal about Li Lihong. He Ping also said that she asked Hu Pingtao, and the young man gave the same answer as him. Although Li Ling didn't believe it, his heart was full of doubts.

curious.

Facing everyone's doubtful and expectant eyes, Hu Pingtao did not try to be mysterious. He said seriously: "I think the clues provided by Li Song are very important. Li Lihong must have some money in his hand, but I can't determine the specific amount."

Lei Yue tried his best to keep his voice calm: "Xiaohu, please speak carefully."

"I got into the car with Sister He this morning. There was nothing wrong with Li Lihong's clothing. I have seen the previous surveillance data. The clothes, pants and shoes she wore today appeared in the previous data 21 times.

Twenty-six times and forty-two times. This shows that Li Lihong is a person with a very low living standard."

"Everything she did today was the same as before. No matter the route or the vegetables she got from her neighbors, they were the same as before. The only problem was the bowl of rice noodles she ate at the village market."

Hearing this, He Ping felt that her mind was filled with questions: "Xiaohu, you and I were both at the food stall and ordered rice noodles. I didn't find anything wrong!"

Hu Pingtao looked calm: "Sister He, how much did the bowl of rice noodles you bought cost?"

He Ping replied: "Ten yuan for a large bowl and nine yuan for a small bowl. I want the big bowl."

Hu Pingtao added: "You also added a risk."

He Ping nodded: "Yes, add two yuan for a total of twelve yuan."

Hu Pingtao said seriously: "Li Lihong also asked for a big bowl, and she also added a two-yuan meatball."

Li Ling, who was sitting next to her, found this funny: "What does a bowl of rice noodles mean? Xiaohu, is this what you call a problem? I advise you to look at the previous monitoring data! Li Lihong's return to her hometown is very regular.

There was no monitoring in the early days, but later people would be sent in advance to follow the whole process. Over the years, the team has accumulated monitoring data for at least fifty times, and each time the data contains records of her eating rice noodles in Nanquancun City. If

This is what you call "discovery", haha..."

Li Ling shook his head with a smile and stopped talking. He sneered, with undisguised sarcasm on his face.

Lei Yue quickly raised his hand to silence Li Ling: "Don't talk yet, let me think..."

Li Guangyi asked strangely: "Lao Lei, what's wrong with you?"

At this moment, Lei Yue felt that Hu Pingtao's words inspired him, and he vaguely felt that he had grasped the main thread of some potential clues. Some inexplicable things that he had ignored flashed through his mind, but he could not

See clearly what it is.

A bowl of rice noodles costs ten yuan, plus a meatball that costs two yuan?

Lei Yue frowned tightly, thinking hard but couldn't find the problem. He could only raise his head and stare at Hu Pingtao: "Xiaohu, go on."

Hu Pingtao nodded slightly: "I have been reading the information for the past two days. Li Rongkai's case is a major case. Because the amount of drugs seized on the spot was huge, it was listed as a national priority, and Li Lihong was also monitored at the same time. It is no exaggeration.

Said, all her information is very transparent."

"Li Lihong only has an elementary school education and no skills. Feedback from banks, Nanquan Village Committee, and subdistrict offices shows that she belongs to a low-income group. Before Li Rongkai was arrested, her monthly income was between 1,500 and 1,770

As of last month this year, Li Lihong’s monthly income was 2,130 yuan."

"The land left to her by her adoptive parents cannot be bought or sold. It is small and barren, and the income from farming is far less than what she can earn from working in the city. I have calculated that the balance of land rental income from vegetables between Li Lihong and her neighbors is mainly

It's because Nanquan Village has a special geographical location and there's no one nearby to farm for her. So when it comes to "getting vegetables," Li Lihong's behavior is logical."

"She goes back to her hometown once a month, and the round-trip ticket cost is much less than the vegetables she brought back. The vegetables Li Linhong brought back today are at least 20 kilograms, mostly potatoes, as well as eggplants, cucumbers, and tomatoes. If you buy them from the wet market,

, even the lowest quality similar vegetables cost at least two yuan per kilogram."

"A few years ago, when investigating the case of Li Rongkai, Team Lei, you have already searched Li Lihong's residence in the city and her old house in Nanquan Village in accordance with the law. The data shows that she has no valuable items in her home, and she has not purchased anything in recent years.

Furniture. All this is consistent with her income situation. A large amount of expenditure is spent on her children, her daughter who is in primary school."

"The day before yesterday I wore casual clothes and went to the cleaning company where Li Lihong worked, pretending to be running business, and talked to the people there. They all said that Li Lihong was very economical, and her lunch was just two steamed buns, plus pickles she made herself. These

Food is very cheap, a meal costs no more than three yuan.”

"There is a deposit of 6,500 yuan in her bank account. The transaction records show that she deposits between 500 and 300 yuan every month. The most recent deposit was last month."

"Based on the above information, the question is very clear: How can a person who usually lives an extremely frugal life spend 12 yuan on a bowl of small pot rice noodles with added smoke? If she occasionally indulges in extravagance, it is still acceptable, but once a month,
