Some old-style watches have a small groove on the back cover, so you can pull off the back cover with your nails even without using professional tools.

At the beginning, Jiang Chijing was able to complete the difficult operation of opening the back cover with his bare hands without tools, because his old clocks are of this style.

He handed the watch to Zheng Mingyi in confusion, and then saw Zheng Mingyi open the back cover skillfully and took out a black memory card from the inside.

The memory card should have been pressing on the clockwork for a long time. As soon as it was taken out, the parts in the watch would flick out. A good watch instantly lost its timing function.

As the owner of the watch, Jiang Chijing had no intention of investigating Zheng Mingyi's damage to his watch. He looked at the memory card, then at Zheng Mingyi, and asked in a daze, "Why is this thing in my watch?"

"Why?" Zheng Mingyi said, "I let it go."

"When?" Jiang Chijing thought of the last time Zheng Mingyi came to his house for the first time.

"This is a long story." Zheng Mingyi didn't answer immediately. Instead, he handed the memory card to Yu Guang and said, "There is a video that I marked as'spare' in it. Please upload this video to the Internet as soon as possible. The more people see, the better."

"Received!" Yu Guang seemed to want to hear the ins and outs of the matter, but seeing Zheng Mingyi told him as soon as possible, he rushed to the opposite infirmary.

"You said before that the clue is not in your hands." Jiang Chijing gradually slowed down and took a deep breath, calming the shock in her heart.

"It's not in my hands." Zheng Mingyi shrugged, "It's always in your hands."

It was really in the hands and hands of Jiang Chijing.

Jiang Chijing didn't know what to say anymore. He only felt that the longest path he had traveled in his life was Zheng Mingyi's thousand-layer routine.

"Do you remember that I said I investigated you before?" Zheng Mingyi said.

"After you disappear." Jiang Chijing said.

After Zheng Mingyi was attacked by the man in black, he seemed to have disappeared out of thin air. At first Jiang Chijing thought he was going to relatives and friends to help, but then Zheng Mingyi told him that he was investigating his background.

"At that time, I was thinking about where it would be safer to hide the clues." Zheng Mingyi said.

Without Zheng Mingyi's prompting, Jiang Chijing was already thinking about it.

The situation at the time was that Zheng Mingyi suspected that there was an inner ghost inside the police, and he did not rule out that the inner ghost was Guan Wei.

Guan Wei can obtain all of his interpersonal communication information, so no matter which acquaintance he puts the clue in, he may be found by Guan Wei. Considering the worst-case scenario, the acquaintances who are delivered may also encounter black hands, so Zheng Mingyi will not give the clues to the acquaintances around him.

What about hiding in himself?

First of all, this clue must not be brought into prison, because there will be very strict inspections before going to prison. Even if the clue is hidden in his belongings, Guan Wei can completely take away all his belongings on the grounds of investigating the case.

Apart from the prison, the easiest place to think of is hiding at home, but this road is also risky.

Because after Zheng Mingyi was imprisoned, the small bungalow was vacant. Whether he hid clues on the floor or ceiling, the other party had a lot of time to turn his house upside down, even if he turned over all the soil in the courtyard. Once again, it is not a problem at all.

Is it possible to hide in other familiar locations?

In this era of widespread surveillance, it is very easy for the police to find out where Zheng Mingyi has been. As long as he followed the route he had walked again, and checked all the locations one by one, it would not be difficult to find what he had hidden.

The reason why none of the above roads work is because of a key word-known.

This is like a hide-and-seek game, where the ghost is limited to a known range from the beginning. Within this range, it is only a matter of time before the ghost finds the person.

Regardless of whether it is an acquaintance, or a family, or the custody section of a prison, these are all "known ranges" that the other party can infer.

Therefore, if Zheng Mingyi wants to hide the clues seamlessly, he can only hide in the "unknown range" that the other party cannot infer.

How about finding a green belt on the side of the road?

Without an inevitable connection, of course the other party cannot infer it, but on the other hand, this is also unknown to Zheng Mingyi.

What if the municipality is changed?

What should I do if there is a car accident and the green belt is damaged?

What if you change the plant species and renovate the soil?

In short, there are too many uncertain factors. Zheng Mingyi is in prison, and it is impossible to control these things completely.

Then after eliminating all the impossible, there is only the only possibility left-Jiang Chijing.

He is not within the scope of Zheng Mingyi's interpersonal communication, and no one would have thought that Zheng Mingyi would hide things with him.

There is no blemish on his body, there is no shortage of money at home, and there is no shady transaction with the other party.

He is helpful, friendly to neighbors, distinguishes right from wrong, and is a reliable person.

The most important thing is that he is the guard at the Southern Prison, and he enters and exits the prison every day.

From another point of view, prisoners cannot bring things into prison. This major premise is destined that the clue must not be on Zheng Mingyi.

No matter how concealed he hides, as long as the clue is not on him, there may be unexpected situations that he cannot grasp.

However, if you put the clue to Jiang Chijing, the situation is completely different.

Jiang Chijing wears an old clock to work in the prison every day, which means that clues are always in front of Zheng Mingyi. Even if there is an emergency, Zheng Mingyi can know the first time, and take corresponding countermeasures, so that people in prison will not know what the clue is.

After going around thinking about it, Jiang Chijing realized that he was not Zheng Mingyi's "last choice".

His accidental appearance allowed Zheng Mingyi to find an excellent hiding place. There were so many other roads and so many choices that were not perfect for him.

"Is it the time I repaired the watch?" Jiang Chijing asked calmly.

Accustomed to Zheng Mingyi's style, Jiang Chijing didn't feel resentful. Although the process of reasoning up to this point was extremely brain-burning, at least this time, he didn't need Zheng Mingyi to take him to do a mind map. He just pondered for a moment and then sorted out the whole story.

"Yes." Zheng Mingyi said truthfully, "I opened your express privately."

The express delivery in the community is usually placed outside the yard of the residents. Everyone has good self-consciousness and does not move the express delivery of other people's homes.

Zheng Mingyi's behavior is naturally undesirable, but he was in a dangerous situation at the time, and now looking back, Jiang Chijing is not incomprehensible.

Of course, understanding belongs to understanding, and cursing is still necessary.

"Abnormal." Jiang Chijing cursed flatly, "I am a **** with a moral bottom line anyway, what are you?"

"I'm sorry, Jiang Jiang." Zheng Mingyi apologized sincerely, "I can't break into your house without you while you are away, and it is not convenient to hide clues in your courtyard-considering that you may renovate the courtyard, so Seeing three couriers at your door, I wanted to open it and see if I could find any new ideas."

More than just a new idea, it is simply an optimal solution.

The only thing Jiang Chijing brings to the post every day is this old clock.

Speaking of it, if it hadn't been broken suddenly, Jiang Chijing wouldn't have been awake in the middle of the night, and accidentally helped Zheng Mingyi. Had it not been for Jiang Chijing to return it to the factory for repairs, Zheng Mingyi would not have the opportunity to use it to hide clues.

"How can you be sure that I will wear this watch in the prison?" Jiang Chijing asked, "If such an old watch is repaired, it might just be a collection."

"I would wear it when I saw you go to the supermarket before." Zheng Mingyi said, "You didn't wear a watch in the days before the courier came back. It means you don't have a spare watch."

This is indeed the case.

As long as Zheng Mingyi observes carefully, he can find that this old clock is Jiang Chijing's commonly used watch.

"You also know that I don't have a spare watch." Jiang Chijing raised his chin and pointed to the miserable old clock on the table. "You made my watch like this, how can I wear it?"

"Didn't I give you my watch?" Zheng Mingyi said, "You can wear it first. That is my favorite watch."

"So you..." Jiang Chijing was startled slightly, "You know that my watch might be broken, so you just leave your watch to me for future use?"

"Yeah." Zheng Mingyi said, "I have no confidence in my watch repair skills."

Jiang Chijing put his hands behind his neck and exhaled a long breath.

He had thought before that with Zheng Mingyi's style of doing things, he should not be so careless and leave his watch in his house.

He guessed a lot of strange reasons, such as Zheng Mingyi wanted to give him a gift, or Zheng Mingyi did not want to give such an expensive watch to the Prison Custody Section.

In short, he thought about it, and finally went back to the original point—maybe Zheng Mingyi was not careful, after all, that day was too relaxing, and it is entirely possible that he would lose his watch.

But now it seems that Jiang Chijing's initial intuition is correct. Zheng Mingyi, an old fox, cannot be careless. Everything he does has his purpose.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Jiang Chijing put down his hands and asked indifferently. He probably guessed the reason, but he was too lazy to reason one by one.

"In the beginning, I didn't want to involve you." Zheng Mingyi said, "The more insiders, the greater the risk."

"Indeed." Jiang Chijing agreed with this. "What happened later?"

"Later, I didn't want to trouble you." Zheng Mingyi said, "You don't know this matter and it won't affect it at all."

"I think you are afraid that I am curious to take the watch apart." Jiang Chijing said quietly. To be honest, if he knew there was a memory card in the watch, he was not sure if he could pretend to know nothing.

Zheng Mingyi smiled softly, raised his hand to pinch Jiang Chijing's cheek and said: "I find you are getting smarter and smarter, Jiang Jiang."

"Come less." Jiang Chijing patted Zheng Mingyi's hand. "What exactly is the video you let Yu Guangfa?"

"You will know soon." Zheng Mingyi said.
