"Shaoyuan, Xie Hanyu hasn't come yet. I'm a little worried. Could you send someone to take a look?"
Cai Xuefei's voice on the other end of the phone sounded obviously anxious.
Meng Shaoyuan adjusted his mood: "It's okay. Maybe something has delayed her. As a little girl, she is playful sometimes. Okay, okay, I'll send someone to look for her later."
"Then you must take it to heart."
The phone was hung up.
Meng Shaoyuan took out his cigarette case and took out the cigarette, but did not light it.
Xie Hanyu found it.
But she is already dead.
And it was a tragic death.
Meng Shaoyuan didn't know how to tell his wife the bad news.
She must not be able to accept it.
Meng Shaoyuan has secretly mobilized a group of people, under the direct command of Paul.
The sooner the case is solved, the more comfort Xie Hanyu's soul can have in heaven.
Her body is still stored there.
"Director Meng, green-skinned Ah Qi has brought it."
A man who looked quite formidable was brought into Meng Shaoyuan's office by Wu Jingyi.
This green-skinned Ah Qi is the one who "finances the Party" in Shanghai.
The so-called "profit-making party", to put it bluntly, are human traffickers who specialize in kidnapping those children.
These are the most abhorrent, and have a very bad reputation among gangs in Shanghai.
Normally, Meng Shaoyuan would never want to come into contact with these people.
But now for Xie Hanyu, Meng Shaoyuan also endured:
"Are you green-skinned Ah Qi?"
"It's me! It's me."
"Do you know who I am?"
"I know, I know, you are Boss Meng."
Meng Shaoyuan said coldly: "Since you know who I am, you will answer whatever I ask you. If there is a lie, you will not leave here alive today."
"Yes, yes, Boss Meng, I would never dare to tell lies."
"How many children have you kidnapped recently?"
"Boss Meng, I have no conscience, I haven't done it for a long time."
"Fart!" Meng Shaoyuan slapped the table: "This is what you fucking do. Can you wash your hands with a golden plate?"
"Really."
Green-skinned Ah Qi hurriedly complained: "This war will make it difficult to do business. Last October, we stole..."
"Kidnapping!"
"Yes, yes, I kidnapped four children and transported them to the north for sale according to the old method. Then I kidnapped several children from the north and transported them to Shanghai for sale. But guess what? I was worried about meeting the Japanese along the way. People don’t tell you, but when we get there, boy, there are refugees everywhere.”
Green-skinned Ah Qi cried sadly: "You can see children selling children everywhere, and the prices are so damn low. Some even just need to change the stuttering to keep the children alive. The children we tied are all seven or eight years old. , can’t do heavy work, and is sensible again, but he’s still not well-raised, who will he sell it to? It’s all in his hands.”
After saying that, he was still afraid that Meng Shaoyuan wouldn't believe it: "I swear to you, if you tell a lie, I will be struck by thunder. Many of my brothers have changed careers now."
Not telling lies.
This is indeed the current reality, and Meng Shaoyuan has been carefully observing the green-skinned Ah Qi.
"Qingpi Ah Qi, although you can't do business now, you have done all kinds of bad things." Meng Shaoyuan said slowly: "I usually hate human traffickers the most. If you come to my place, it will be a misfortune for you."
"Sir, have mercy. Sir, have mercy."
Green-skinned Ah Qi was sweating.
"Spare you? It's okay." Meng Shaoyuan sneered: "Now you have a chance to atone for your sins and save your life. It depends on whether you can seize it."
"Sir, please tell me. I won't dare to hide what I know."
"A little girl was killed, probably last night. Do you have any clues about this?"
"Little girl? How old? Where are you from?"
"Eleven years old, from Zhenjiang, begged all the way to Shanghai."
"Beggar?"
The green-skinned Ah Qi frowned: "The beggars have their own gang, which is the Beggar's Gang. We and the Beggar's Gang have always been on the same page, otherwise we would have gotten into trouble with those beggars. But again, once there is a war, , there are beggars everywhere, and the beggars don’t care about that much anymore. An eleven-year-old girl? It’s hard to check.
Not to mention now, we would not attack beggars in the past. Let alone the beggar gang, those little beggars were dirty, covered in lice, and might be sick, so there was no way we could take action. If they are tied up, they will have to be raised for several months. The price is too high. I can guarantee that this is definitely not done by my people. No one in this world does business at a loss..."
At this point, he was startled: "Wait, wait, I seem to have thought of something. Two days ago, yes, the two days ago, one of my former brothers, named Bald Liu, came to drink with me, and we were halfway through the drink. , when chatting, she mentioned that someone asked her to find a little girl about ten years old, thinner, preferably one with no family. "
Meng Shaoyuan perked up and said, "Go on."
"I told him at the time, what's so difficult about this matter? You can find it everywhere on the street. I really don't know what happened next."
"Where's Baldy Liu? Where is he now?"
"You are really questioning me." Green-skinned Ah Qi looked embarrassed: "This bald man Liu is a bad gambler. He has lost all the houses he lives in, and he usually has no right place. He is the one who comes here to find him. Me. Ah, if you really want to find this person, you have to go to the casinos around Xinzha Road to look for him. He usually hangs out in that area, so you might be able to find him."
Meng Shaoyuan pondered there for a moment: "I'll give you a few people, can you find Bald Liu?"
"Yes." Green-skinned Ah Qi said cheerfully: "This kid goes to the casino whenever he has some spare money. When he came that day, he bought the food and drinks. He might have some money on him, as long as he doesn't lose it all, he can find it."
"Assistant Wu, take him out and send two people to him."
"yes."
Wu Jingyi quickly took the green-skinned Ah Qi out.
Bald Liu?
Someone is looking for a little girl around ten years old?
These clues have gradually been connected with Xie Hanyu's murder.
After thinking about it for a while, Wu Jingyi came in again with Shen Li and Paul.
"Director Meng." Shen Li opened his mouth and said: "We went to Liuhe Road and found the old beggar you mentioned. After scaring him, the old beggar was willing to cooperate. According to his confession, Xie Hanyu did not go back that day. As for going He doesn’t know where he is, beggar, or where he can stay.”
It seems that the old beggar's clue is broken.
"Where are you?" Meng Shaoyuan's eyes fell on Paul.
"I first checked the sack carefully." Paul immediately replied: "Based on the residue inside, this sack should have been used to hold nebulizer tablets. There are only a few sellers of nebulizer tablets in the public concession. They are all run by foreigners. If we look at the distance, it is most likely Anji Industrial Co., Ltd. located on Yuyuan Road."
Anson Industrial Co., Ltd.?
Japanese?
Why is this case involving the Japanese again?
"Keep talking."
"yes."
Paul continued: "And I also found a very important clue!"
