The Last Mecha

Chapter 174 Missing
In the early morning of the next day, Wu Gou went out early and went to a tea shop owned by Jiaolong Foreign Company.

As soon as he entered the store, he knew that the young man was a popular shopkeeper in the eyes of Boss Cao, and immediately greeted him. He was seated and served tea.

"Speaking of business, I ask your boss, how is it?"

"He asked me to convey it, saying that there is no problem, and it can be done tonight if possible."

"So neat? All right, thank him for me. I'll explain the place to you at noon. Be sure to let him know right away."

"know."

"That girl, is it okay with you?"

"In the back room, I take care of the food and drink. I deliver the meals myself. No one else knows. Don't worry, take a look?"

"No, this matter must be kept secret."

"Look at this mouth, it's so tight, I promised Boss Cao that if the sky falls, no one will know that there is someone here."

"That's good."

"Allah is doing things, don't worry—won't you have breakfast?"

"No, someone is waiting."

The girl in question is Nan Zhiyun. After Wu Yiou said that last night, Wu Gou contacted Cao Yong and sent her out.

I have two troubles at hand, and I can't let them affect each other. If something happens to the family, the girl hiding in the room is an uncertain hidden danger.

Fortunately, the auction brought the distance between him and Cao Yong closer. That person is rigorous in his work, and Jiang Mulin knows how to do things without asking the truth, so this kind of thing is easy to entrust.

Anyway, it's only one day, so there should be no risk.

After the two matters were separated, Wu Gou was considering the possibility of informing Jiang Mulin of the impending danger of the Wu family. At least in this matter, Master Jiang would definitely not harm himself.

But how to explain it?If possible, Wu Gou didn't want to reveal his identity to anyone.

It took less than half an hour to come and go. When he came back, he saw that there was something wrong outside the Shikumen house. The copper leather foreign car was parked at the main entrance, and there was a red crabapple on the door splashed with black paint. Leaf logo, not too big but very eye-catching.

Undoubtedly, this logo belongs to the Jiangsong Police Department, which has just been reorganized and established. It was designed by Yang Wei, a young painter who returned from Frank.

Wu Gou's heart tightened, thinking that something happened to his family, but then he thought, if it was a big deal, the battle would be a little too small.

He calmed down and remained calm, thinking that it was a good thing he made preparations last night.

Turning his head, he saw two policemen walking past the corner of the stairs on the second floor, touching their belts.

So Wu Gou followed, and climbed a few steps up the rusty straight ladder on the side of the Shikumen house, and then vaguely heard the sound of arguing coming from the stairs on the second floor, and the owner of that bright voice was obviously a woman.

He moved carefully along the protrusion on the edge of the window, then poked his head, and saw the three figures inside through the gap of the glass window.

"How many times have I told you that her husband has disappeared, so it has nothing to do with us two women. Do you think dancers are easy to mess with in Jiangsong? Oh, let me tell you, the eyes of the men in the ballroom Oh, be less timid and scare you to death. Come back to sleep every morning, wake up in the afternoon, pack up and have a meal and go to work, and come back again in the morning, how can we contact him? I haven’t fought before, so you think it’s worth it?”

"Yes, yes, two ladies, I understand what you said, this is not a routine investigation, it needs to be recorded—"

"Hey, you young man, you don't speak lightly or seriously. Who is your wife? We are two unmarried in our twenties, and we are looking for a good man. It's not easy to scribble in your records."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I can't speak."

In front of the bedroom door on the second floor, two dancers from Yangzhou spoke Jiangsong tune, hands akimbo, like two peacocks spreading their tails.

And the man in front of them was obviously a newcomer, how could he handle this posture, holding down the brim of the black hat with the Begonia emblem, nodding and bowing vigorously, he looked more like a young student who was scolded in a restaurant than handling a case.

Hearing this, Wu Gou felt a bit better, he took a reassurance, then quickly climbed down the straight ladder, swaggering back home from the main entrance.

"Hook, where did you hang out? It was early in the morning."

As soon as she entered the door, Wu Jingting, the elder sister who heard the noise, poked her head out and asked, rinsed her foamy hands briefly, and rolled them on the rag twice.

"Oh, I met a chartered driver on the road and Boli stabbed his feet, so I took him to find a place to bandage and disinfect." Wu Gou opened his mouth without changing his expression, "What happened?"

"Remember the couple who lived in the front living room. There was a lot of noise every night before. The man suddenly disappeared, and the woman called the police. Officer Cai came to our house to take notes in the morning, and you are the only one missing. This, don't delay other people's business, cooperate. Oh, and, Yong took his mother for a walk, you are the only one at home, your machine is really powerful. Oh, I have to go to work first, please cooperate."

After finishing speaking, Wu Jingting carried a small cloth bag, and when she hurried past Wu Gou, she still didn't forget to whisper, "Where are the police."

As soon as Wu Gou entered the door, he saw an old policeman over forty years old sitting at the desk, with many pockmarks on his face.

He had his legs crossed, his hat was thrown on the table, he was holding a bowl of porridge in his hand, and there was still half an unfinished pancake, and he knew at a glance that he probably stole Wu Yiou's share.

Some of Jiang Song's police officers are new recruits, and many of the rest are former policemen who have changed jobs.

The person in front of him is obviously different from the two grass heads upstairs, he looks like an old man, he doesn't look like a good stubble, he is a master who eats and takes food on weekdays.

The police station has just been established not long ago, and the common people's concept has not yet changed. What is the police?I don't know, maybe it's just a headhunter or something to change his name, and he still thinks that this kind of person is not easy to mess with.

If you think you're going to offend someone and handle a case, by the way, I'll charge you with something, and it shouldn't be too easy to send you to prison.

But right now, the details of the police station system led by Minister of State Wang Ling are perfect. Any case needs sufficient evidence, and to a certain extent, it has curbed the usual methods of extorting confessions through torture, and added layers of supervision and joint responsibility systems. The scientific nature is not too different from the police agencies of later generations.

So these people use their new identities to go around and pretend to be powerful, all because of poor first-hand information.

"Come on, sit down."

The policeman glanced at Wu Gou, swallowed a few mouthfuls of paofan "hululu", and then patted the table beside him.

Wu Gou raised his eyebrows, but didn't respond, and sat down silently in front of him, leaning sideways, crossing his legs, and resting one arm on the table.

"Tsk—" Police officer Cai stared, "The investigation, why is there no one?"

As soon as these words came out, Wu Gou immediately showed a surprised expression, and then turned his eyes back and forth, alternating back and forth between the two of them.

Police officer Cai's face darkened, and he realized that the young man in front of him had exactly the same posture as himself.

"Sorry, I thought that's how investigations are done." Wu Gou replied, but his hands and feet still didn't move.

"Don't be shameless." Police Officer Cai said with a sullen face and a bad tone.

"I want what I want."

Wu Gou grinned, and then sat upright, with an air of listening attentively.

"Name."

Officer Cai lowered his eyebrows and asked sullenly, not intending to take out a pen and paper.

"Wu hook."

"What do you do? You can do whatever you want."

There is a hole in this second question. The Municipal Council has explicitly prohibited the employment of child labor. If you dare to answer where you have worked, you will be caught immediately.

"I'm not an adult yet, so I can't do anything." Wu Gou smiled, "Just practice martial arts if you have nothing to do."

"Practice martial arts? With whom?"

"Not famous, but a farmer."

"Don't talk about insignificant things, I'll tell you, or you'll be contemptuous of the police—do you recognize the couple in the front living room?"

"I met a few times, but never spoke."

"Haven't talked? Don't be sloppy with me. We live together under the same roof. You told me that you haven't communicated? You lied to ghosts! Honestly!"

"No, he went out and came back late for two whole days, which has nothing to do with our work and rest."

"Hey!" Officer Cai's eyes widened, and he poked Wu Gou's forehead with his finger, "You, you, you have a problem. Since the husband and wife have nothing to do with you, why do you pay attention to their work and rest? Tell me! Is the man missing? It has something to do with you!"

This trick is an old trick. Just find out if someone has a problem, and pour dirty water on you. Ordinary people have no choice but to explain, but ordinary people have no training. , there are more places to choose.

In the end, when the description became darker and darker, and his momentum was weakened, he asked for some kidnapping, so he had to agree.

The bowl of pickled rice and pancakes in his hand probably came from this way, and more than that went into his pocket.

"I don't think so." Wu Gou responded with a half-smile, "That couple is notoriously eccentric around them, and everyone knows about it."

"Don't, you don't want everyone to know." Police officer Cai rolled his eyes, "I just want to know how you know, gossip or something, people listen to it in the left ear and out in the right ear, take it for fun, why do you keep it? Do you remember it?"

"Oh, me." Wu Gou frowned and expressed a little embarrassment, "Too many people remember this matter, you want to catch them all?"

"I don't care about them, it's you who is asking now."

"The police officer is accommodating, please do me a favor."

"Hey——" Police Officer Cai was happy when he saw it, "Forget it, you are not too young, so you should not be the main criminal. I want to make it easier for you. Let me teach you."

"Teach me?"

"You grow up so big, you should have your own small coffers, right? Be filial and treat me as a help to eliminate disasters."

"Yes, yes, I'll get it."

Seeing Wu Gou's galloping figure, the old policeman thought in his heart that this time it would go well this time, but when he turned around, what he brought back was a string of pretty pebbles.

"Officer, this is my baby."

He grinned, and slapped the stone into Police Officer Cai's palm, causing him to grin in pain.

The police officer Cai's eyes were burning, and he picked up the porcelain bowl containing the rice and threw it on the ground. Amidst the ear-piercing sound, rice soup and rice grains were scattered all over the floor.

"You're kidding me! Don't force me to take all your family back to the bureau for interrogation."

"The handling of the case will also follow the rules and procedures." Wu Gou said with a smile, "My family is not suspected, and the other is not refusing to cooperate. I sat here honestly and answered questions. Why should I be brought back to the bureau?"

Officer Cai kicked over the wooden dining table, took out a rubber baton and pointed at Wu Gou's nose.

"I said you have a problem, you just have a problem."
