World War I

Chapter 53 It’s better to have fewer people sharing the money
Rudy's wife's car was parked quietly on the side of the road, and the windows were currently open. When the county sheriff's colleagues arrived, the windows were locked, and they had to use brute force to open the windows for the purpose of investigation.

"They didn't find any clues, just a strand of my wife's dyed hair on the seat."

Luo Ye was not in a hurry to go into the car to check. He let Saranchi do it. This detective could create something out of nothing. He could find out even the slightest trace.

But if he finds the person, who will get the reward?

The car driven by Rudy's wife Yingge is the "Moskvich 80", a luxury car that was launched in the Soviet era in the 2141s.

In the 2141s, the "Moskvich 90" was known in China as one of the "four broken cars in Eastern Europe," with a reputation for quality far inferior to that of the Lada series. The Azlyk Automobile Plant (AZLK), which produced it, was known as the "Komsomol Automobile Plant" during the Soviet era.

"It's so ugly."

Luo Ye muttered, Rudy: "Sheriff, what did you say? Your police car is ugly."

"You want to fight me again, don't you?"

"I dare not. I've learned my lesson. What was the name of the guy who hit me?"

"His name is Turgenev, and he's the captain of the St. Petersburg Hellfire Special Police. If you want to retaliate, go ahead."

Rudy touched his lower back and then his stomach.

"You're such a freak, you're capable of working under a major-level officer!"

"I forgot to tell you that Turgenev is a police colonel. I'm showing off, so what can you do?"

Rudy touched his swollen cheek.

"Wait till you find my wife—I'll fucking—"

Luo Ye smiled and looked at him.

"Payment, keep your word. Is it for you, or for your Major General's men?"

"What do you think?"

"I understand breaking the rules. Here you go. Divide it among yourselves. As long as you can find my wife."

"Do you love your wife very much?"

"I can't live without her, not even for a day."

"You're really—that's very touching, Mr. Rudy. I apologize to you, too. You have to pay for your medical expenses yourself. The police department doesn't have the money to pay."

Rudy said generously, "As long as we can find Brother Ying, everything is easy to talk about. There's nothing that can't be discussed. I won't hire a lawyer, although I know the Chief Justice of Karachi."

"Okay, any cigarettes?"

"some."

Rudy took out a pack of cigarettes from the right pocket of his shirt. He had just been beaten and rolled on the ground, and the cigarette box was flattened.

Black Winston. Black Winston, with its predominantly black color scheme and dark, bold style, features the Russian double-headed eagle emblem on the cigarette box, making it a popular choice for those who enjoy clubbing and nightclubs.

“Very good, the taste is quite strong.”

Luo Ye took a puff and blew out a beautiful smoke ring. "Why aren't you taking it seriously? This is a kidnapping case. My wife has been kidnapped."

Luo Ye smiled and said, "I'm the boss. I have a major general officer to help you find him. Why are you so anxious? You kept saying you wanted to find Officer Saranch. He's working right now. Keep your voice down and be careful not to disturb him."

Fyodor and Panzi were surveying the surroundings, seemingly very seriously.

If there is a bounty, you will naturally be able to share the money. If you don’t work hard and seriously now, when will you?

These two guys were really serious, looking everywhere in front and behind the car.

"Sheriff, there doesn't seem to be any signs of kidnapping."

Fyodor reported first.

Provincial Highway 77 is paved with asphalt, so it is unrealistic to find footprints on the roadside.

This area was quite quiet, with dense trees blocking out the sun, and it took a long time for a car to pass by.

The terrain slopes down rapidly to the right of the road, with a river below.

There is a pool of water right opposite the side of the vehicle, and beside the pool is a towering vertical black stone cliff. It has rained upstream, and the pool is full of water.

The water in the pond has lost its former clarity and appears a little dark yellow.

The plate came up from the edge of the pond.

"I didn't find any footprints. It rained here the day before yesterday, and the road was all grass. I couldn't tell for a moment whether the people in the car went to the river or not."

Luo Ye put out the cigarette and waited for Saranchi's outcome.

After a long time, Saranchi came out of the car.

"I'm sorry, I can't find any useful clues, but I can't rule out the possibility of kidnapping."

Rudy immediately said: "See, experts are experts!"

"The problem now is finding witnesses or the vehicle that was involved in the incident."

Fyodor curled his lips and said, "Then the workload will be huge. If we can find witnesses and passing vehicles, the guys at the county police station have already received the reward."

Saranchi looked at Fyodor calmly.

I don’t know what happened, but when Fyodor was looked at by Saranchi’s one eye, he didn’t dare to talk back.

Although Saranchi only had one eye left, Luo Ye also felt that his remaining eye seemed to have a strange energy, and when it looked at people, it would make them feel uncomfortable.

So, he doesn't need to get angry, just looking at you with his one eye can have a deterrent effect.

Luo Ye: "It is difficult. This place doesn't look like——"

He wanted to say that this place was not like 2024, where there were surveillance cameras everywhere. As long as the surveillance videos along the way were retrieved, this case would not be difficult and a novice could handle it, but the problem was that there were no such surveillance cameras here.

There were no witnesses, no sighting of the vehicle, and no tracking possible.
