Chapter 185 Suspicion? What happened? Scrap metal?

Is his shop open for business?

Looking in the direction Wu Da left, Nan Shu turned to the two of them and asked.

"No."

Wu Rong shook his head. The two were from the same village and often drank together, so they knew each other quite well.

“Ah Da rented a one-bedroom apartment in the next neighborhood. His wife usually cooks when she gets home and then delivers the food to the shop.”

Nan Shu nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

The three arrived at the entrance of a toy mall. It was called a toy mall, but it was actually just a larger toy store. To the left of the entrance were two spaceship-shaped rocking machines, and under the eaves to the right were old claw machines with their glass turning yellowish.

"Qiangqiang usually likes to come here to play with his friends..."

Mentioning Wu Qiang, the couple's eyes reddened again, and their voices choked with emotion.

Nan Shu had seen this toy store on the projection screen.

According to the information obtained by the police from their investigation, Wu Qiang was indeed in a toy store with several classmates before he disappeared. Around 7 p.m., Wu Qiang and his classmates walked out of the store and disappeared from the range of the surveillance cameras.

According to Wu Qiang's classmates, after separating from the three, Wu Qiang left in the direction of Wu Rong's snack stall.

Wu Rong and his wife also knew about this news.

The three followed the direction of the surveillance camera until they came to a fork in the road.

This is a corner, and in front of you are two self-built houses. The walls form a narrow path that an adult can just walk sideways on. It's fine during the day, but at night it's pitch black.

“Follow this road, turn left, and go straight, and you’ll reach our stall.”

Wu Rong gave Nan Shu directions.

Nan Shu looked in that direction and saw that the main road Wu Rong pointed to was a bit more circuitous than the narrow path in front of her.

She looked at the surveillance camera hanging on the wall on the first floor of the self-built house.

The house owner's child hung it up to prevent thieves, but the homeowner thought it used too much electricity and unplugged it not long after it was installed.

and so.

Aside from the murderer, no one knows what Wu Qiang went through on this road last night.

As Nan Shu was deep in thought, the group rounded the corner and came over. They bumped into each other. When she saw the leader and met his dark eyes, Nan Shu coughed lightly and looked away.

Nan Punian's eyebrows twitched violently, and a hint of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

"Officer Nan."

Wu Rong and his wife also felt somewhat guilty.

After all, Nan Punian had instructed them not to make any unnecessary moves, lest they alert the enemy.

"South Team, have you found anything?"

Seeing the man approach, Nan Shu thought for a moment and decided to take the initiative, asking him a question.

"We've explored the entire eastern area and found nothing unusual."

Nanpu sighed, not wanting to be too harsh on the young girl, and asked softly, "Are you tired?"

Nan Shu shook her head.

“Act within your ability.”

Nan Punian gave these helpless instructions.

Nan Shu smiled, "Okay, Team Leader Nan!"

Nan Punian waved his hand and walked in the opposite direction with his two other disguised colleagues.

"Officer Xiaonan..."

The couple stared intently at Nan Shu.

Nan Shu shook her head. "I haven't found anything yet." She paused, then asked, "Where is Wu Da's shop? Can you take me there?"

Wu Rong was taken aback.

“Ah Da? Officer Xiao Nan, do you suspect Ah Da? No, Ah Da is a very good person, he’s very good to Xiao Qiang, and he often brings Xiao Qiang gifts.”

“No…” Nan Shu paused, then explained, “I saw a wound on the back of his hand, like a scratch, so I wanted to take a look.”

Upon hearing this, Wu Rong looked somewhat embarrassed and exchanged a glance with Cai Guizhi.

Noticing their movements, Nan Shu raised an eyebrow, "You two...do you know something?"

"Sigh..."

Wu Rong scratched his head awkwardly, seemingly unsure how to explain to Nan Shu, and nudged Cai Guizhi's arm with his elbow.

Cai Guizhi glared at him. "What's so hard to say?"

He turned his head and looked at Nan Shu.

"Officer Xiao Nan, it's like this. You're young, so you might not know much about things between husband and wife. Ah Da's wound... was actually caused by his wife."

"Wife?"

“Yes… When a couple runs a business, it’s inevitable that they will disagree. Ah Rong and I have a good relationship, but sometimes when we argue, we think about throwing things. We’ve even fought before.”

"Don't wash your dirty linen in public," Cai Guizhi said, her expression somewhat embarrassed as she spoke of these matters. "A-Da and his wife often fight, so..."

Nan Shu understood.

"Let's go take a look." Even a fight between husband and wife can get serious and even fatal.

Wu Rong and his wife exchanged a glance and nodded.

Wu Da's anime merchandise store is located at the end of South Street. You can walk through the alley and soon arrive at his store.

A sign that reads "Open for Business" hangs on the glass door, and a pink standee with pictures of anime characters such as Conan and One Piece stands at the entrance.

The overall decor is predominantly pink, and the fluffy plush toys displayed in the window are particularly eye-catching.

As soon as the three of them reached the door, they saw a woman in her thirties carrying a plastic bag walk out.

The woman was about 1.5 meters tall, slightly plump, wearing long sleeves and trousers, and flip-flops. Her long hair was casually clipped up with a brown shark clip. Nan Shu's gaze fell on her slightly limping foot as she walked.

"She is Ah Da's wife, Ah Ning."

Cai Guizhi said.

Nan Shu nodded, and was about to speak when Wu Da came out from inside, carrying a cardboard box. He was taken aback when he saw the three of them, and put the box in the corner. "Arong, what are you doing here?"

"Oh, I'm quite interested in anime and manga, so I wanted to come and take a look."

Nan Shu smiled and gave the excuse she had prepared long ago, her gaze sweeping over the back of his hand, where there were indeed scratches.

"Second dimension?"

Wu Da's smile froze.

"Yes, are these genuine? I'd like to buy some to take home."

Hearing this, Wu Da breathed a sigh of relief. "I thought you were planning to open a shop like mine on Huayang Street and steal my business."

"How could that be? You and Brother Rong are friends, so you're my friends too. Besides, judging from the size of your shop, it probably isn't doing very well. If you open another one like this, wouldn't both of you lose money?"

Nan Shu smiled and said.

"It's really not good. We have unsold inventory, and even after throwing in tens of thousands of yuan, we haven't heard a peep. I'm really worried about this."

Perhaps struck by Nan Shu's words, Wu Da also sighed softly, his polite smile vanished, and he moved three chairs over for the three of them to sit down.

He poured another cup of tea for the three of them.

Their way of treating guests is quite similar to that of Wu Rong's family.

Nan Shu took the teacup, smiled, and glanced at the large box in the corner.

The box wasn't sealed, and you could see what appeared to be an induction cooker tucked away in a corner.

"Brother, did we delay your purchase of scrap metal?"

Nan Shu asked.

Wu Da glanced at it and sighed.

"No way, I'm just happy that you guys came to chat with me. I can sell scrap metal anytime."
