Chapter 883: Chapter 883 Suspicions 4

"I really can’t understand one thing, why would Niu Rang want to leave some other clues in my plantation and then hand the gun over to me? Isn’t this going in a big roundabout way? Why not simply take the clues he had and give them to me so I could transfer them to you?" He Zhilan pondered over this question for an entire afternoon.

He Teng, Xing Ye, and Lan Li all guessed that Niu Rang must have gotten ahold of something very important. When he obtained this thing, he probably hadn’t realized that his undercover identity had been noticed, so he must have been planning to deliver this thing by himself. Then, before he could make the delivery, he discovered that his identity had been exposed, and presumably, he no longer had the chance to pass the thing to you. That’s why he left clues in the gun, using the delivery of a dress as a cover, and placed the gun inside the dress for you." This was the conclusion drawn by He Teng, Xing Ye, and Lan Li.

"I don’t know what Niu Rang left behind in the Tea Garden." He Zhilan sighed softly, "I also don’t know what Niu Rang went through or how he discovered that his identity was detected, nor how he managed to hide the thing in the Tea Garden just right."

"Sooner or later, there will be an outcome." He Teng swore silently in his heart, Niu Rang’s sacrifice will not be in vain!

Niu Rang’s incident weighed heavily on He Teng up till now, and knowing that He Teng was not in a good mood, He Zhilan didn’t cause any trouble for He Teng. After taking a bath, the two embraced each other in sleep, and even though nothing happened, this mutual company was the best encouragement and consolation for the young couple.

The next day, as soon as it was light, He Zhilan and He Teng got out of bed. Even on a bitterly cold day, there was not a hint of tiredness on their faces.

After getting ready, they went downstairs to wait for Lan Li. Xing Ye, after all, had his own work to do, so he had only arranged for people to assist Lan Li and He Teng and had not come over in the morning.

This time, in addition to the few people He Zhilan recognized, there were also several local military officers and police personnel.

Dressed in unobtrusive disguises so as not to alarm the local residents and company employees, three or four groups of them, led by the boss He Zhilan herself, entered the plantation and headed straight to the Tea Garden.

Though called a garden, it was actually a small hill.

The tea plants are evergreen, so even in this winter season, the view as one enters Tea Mountain is still quite beautiful. However, there wasn’t a single person among the group who was in the mood to admire the scenery.

He Zhilan briefly introduced everyone to the location and size of Tea Mountain, then looked at He Teng, waiting for him to speak.

"Split into four teams to search. Don’t overlook any suspicious traces." He Teng gave the instruction, and then started organizing the teams without wasting any time, directing everyone to split up and start the search.

He Zhilan wasn’t idle either. Thinking that since she was here, she might as well help everyone search - this was the least she could do.

But after all, He Zhilan wasn’t a professional, and when it came to searching for things, she really felt powerless; as a layperson, she either felt everywhere looked suspicious or everywhere seemed just fine.

So, standing in each spot, He Zhilan would rest her chin in her hand, hesitating for a long time whether to go over and take a closer look. Or would it be better not to waste time and move on to another place to search?

He Teng passed by He Zhilan several times, and every time he saw his little wife’s extremely vexed little face, he couldn’t help but find it a bit amusing.
