Perhaps because Le Yao’s gaze was too surprised, Lu Minan couldn’t help but look over. “Mrs. Nangong knows me?”

Le Yao hurriedly shook her head. “Although it’s the first time we’ve met, I’ve heard of you long ago. You’re Captain Lu, the modern Conan.”

Although this person had been mentioned in the original book, he was only mentioned briefly when introducing the aristocratic families in Beijing. The stupid author had mentioned the successor of the Lu family, who was known as the star of the police world, but he had never appeared, let alone come to Xiling City.

But now, this person had appeared beside her. It could only be said that the current world was a completely new world.

Lu Minan’s eyes flashed, but she still nodded calmly. “Although Conan is more famous, he’s a fictional character. He’s also a brat who can’t grow up. I’d rather be called ‘the modern Kou Zhun’.”

Le Yao’s eyes widened. Everyone knew that Kou Zhun was a politician and poet from the Northern Song Dynasty. In fact, he was also a very famous expert in solving cases in our country’s history. The most famous one was the story of Kou Zhun’s “examination of copper coins”.

Lu Minan smiled. He clearly knew that Le Yao knew Kou Zhun, so he didn’t say anything else. Instead, she got back to the topic. “I invited Mrs. Nangong here today to understand the situation again.”

“Captain Lu, you can call me Ms. Han. I will tell you everything I know.”

Lu Minan didn’t stand on ceremony anymore. He gestured for the police officer beside him to record before asking, “Do you know He Feng?”

Le Yao nodded. “Yes, she’s Yan Zimeng’s assistant, but we’re not familiar with each other. We just met a few times on some occasions…”

“You were there when she got into trouble, right?” Lu Minan looked up at Le Yao. “Tell me about the situation at that time.”

Le Yao nodded. “You should have investigated my background, right? When I was about two years old, I was stolen. However, I was lucky not to be crippled. I even met my adoptive parents. Their surname is also Han. They’re in Pear Tree Village. My big aunt’s family is in Hetao Village. The place where the accident happened was very close to Hetao Village. At that time, my brother and I were returning from my big aunt’s house. We heard the commotion and ran over to take a look. In the end, we were frightened…” As she spoke, she sighed. “You can investigate this.”

Lu Minan nodded. “Are you familiar with Yan Zimeng?”

Le Yao smiled. “It’s hard to say if I’m familiar with her. She’s a celebrity. Besides, she’s known my legal husband since we were young. They’re both in the same circle, but… she doesn’t like me much.”

“Why?”

“She likes Nangong Jue, but Nangong Jue married me. It was a classic melodramatic love triangle. After that, she tried to seduce Nangong Jue. Unfortunately, that man still has a basic bottom line. He didn’t cheat during the marriage… Perhaps he felt that I was obstructing her true love. Then, the Young Lady was naturally envious of me.”

Lu Minan: …

“Therefore, I have reason to suspect that she was the one who caused the car accident that didn’t kill me, and He Feng is her assistant. Now that she’s dead, she could have been silenced.” Le Yao spread her hands. “Don’t be surprised. Please call me ‘the witty Kogoro’.”

Lu Minan couldn’t help but smile and continue to ask, “Then please explain in detail what happened before and after the car accident.”

“That day, I received a call from my mother-in-law asking me to meet her, so I went…”
