"My dad is sick, and I have to take care of him every day!"
Du Mao's voice was still loud after he regained his consciousness, but there was always an unknown difference, which was very different from before.
It sounds very much like the truth. Shao Zi raised his eyebrows, but didn't react much.
Seeing that it was quiet outside, Du Mao shook the tortured iron door again and said anxiously: "How's it going? I just want to say something back... Officer, can you be considerate and considerate? Can it be convenient?"
This is simply a change of personality. From being unreasonable to bowing his head and pleading, there was no soft transition. At most, it was a sudden awakening in those few seconds. He almost didn't look like the same person.
"What happened to you just now?" Shao Zi pondered for a few seconds, and when he saw that the young man inside did not explode in response, he felt even more strange, "Du Mao, do you feel that what you said is a bit strange?"
This is already a very euphemistic expression.
"What's the difference... I'm too impatient, what's not easy to understand?" Du Mao didn't understand, "Anyway, can you let me out? Oh, you are, right? Do I have to be polite? "He obviously doesn't know what politeness means. It takes a lot of effort to come up with a word of respect from his head.
Shao Zi felt even more strange, but it was too late to be curious about more details.
"Du Mao, since you can hear me clearly now, I will make it clear to you. I don't care whether you have a sick father or have other excuses to cause trouble, as long as you have indeed made no mistakes and cooperated with us. For investigation work, I will assume that you really want to fulfill your filial piety, and at most, find someone to follow you and observe you for a period of time - this is a very common measure for people who may have committed crimes, but it will never affect where you go. free."
Of course Shao Zi knew that Du Mao was just making excuses. Not only the personal information corresponding to the registered name showed that Du Mao's father was working in a remote city across the provinces. Let alone being sick and hospitalized, it was impossible for Du Mao to take care of him here.
For such young investigators, finding the "former guardian" is usually the first step. After all, no one grows up overnight at the age of 18. People at this age will still be somewhat nostalgic for their parents. They mostly rely on their parents' financial support, and very few can be self-sufficient.
According to Liang An's description, such a young man who is alone but can't even find a job in a criminal gang really seems to have the only way to rely on his parents' financial support. , Du Mao is like this.
Shao Zi was a little surprised after reading his reaction just now - letting such an obviously mentally unstable young man go outside to have fun by himself would be the same as letting a wild horse out on the grassland where the wolves are. Is it dangerous?
Maybe these parents are really too big-hearted. But fortunately, after the investigation when we just interviewed and found people, it was indeed stated by other people who cooperated with the investigation that this "Du Xiaosi" was a member of the gang who was different and did not actually commit any crimes.
Du Mao hesitated a little and remained silent for the time being.
"If you don't want to go out, I'm leaving." Shao Zi gestured to leave, taking two steps and making footsteps.
"Don't!" Du Mao reacted quickly this time and said hurriedly, "Brother, brother! If you have something to say, please tell me!! I can think about it carefully..." He hit the door frame again, and there were signs of abnormality again. .
Shao Zi blinked. It seemed that although the excuse was false, the fact that Du Mao immediately wanted to leave was true and unfalsified, and it was probably a reasonable and legal reason, so that he could accept the "freedom" that he explained clearly. "Way.
"The problem is that I don't know what you want to ask." Du Mao lamented, "I am just a kid who runs errands for others and knows nothing. No one cares about me and no one looks at me. How can I know anything? Did you find the wrong person?"
Shao Zi stared at the doorframe that had finally had enough fuss.
"Li Chunsheng, do you know this person?" He spoke slowly.
Du Mao was stunned for a moment.
"I..." Du Mao said with difficulty, "How can I? Is that someone I can know? Brother, you don't know..."
Hearing this, Shao Zi smiled.
"Don't you just run errands for others? Why do you know the name of the boss immediately? Is it possible that in your den, the boss is like an idol star and posts his name all over the streets?"
Even they got their clues from informants who were actively gathering information.
"You..." Du Mao realized that he had been tricked, and felt a little heartbroken, "Isn't that what I heard occasionally?!"
The child was getting angry, and Du Mao seemed to be getting ready to have another attack, because Shao Zi watched the doorframe moving through the iron door. Du Mao must have been unhappy and wanted to take out his anger on it again.
"Then tell me, how did you hear this name?" Shao Zi said obediently, "When, who, and how told you? If you want to go out, you have to explain it clearly to us - I don't even need you to tell me and me. Who are you talking about these things? Isn’t it interesting?”
Du Mao was clicked on the keyword again. After calming down and thinking about it, it seemed that this was also the case.
Unconsciously, it seemed that his original intention was to say nothing.
"Of course I asked someone to ask..." After thinking about it, Du Mao reluctantly said, "It's very simple, right? There are so many untouchable elder brothers, and I must know who is the most untouchable. , you can’t accidentally provoke others, what if your hands and feet are chopped off? I have already said that I am a law-abiding citizen, I am very scared."
Shao Zi continued to ask: "They said that many people don't want to see you. Is it true?"
Du Mao thought of something unpleasant and was about to explode when he heard Shao Zi add: "Want to go out? Huh?"
This kind of voice game that prompts safe words can be played by Shao Zi. This Du Xiaosi is quite fun. Although he usually just sticks to it and has no structure, after finding the key points, he can be controlled within a controllable range with special instructions.
Du Mao, who refused to listen or watch and only yelled, caused a lot of trouble to others, and even had people arrange a large single room for him without even neighbors. This problem was solved, and Du Mao was just like an ordinary subject of inquiry. There was not even a threat to the formation of Iron Gate - the threat to the life of Iron Gate itself was excluded.
I just don’t know whether this “key point” is a temporary rule caused by a temporary purpose, or a special way that can be expanded by analogy.
"How do I know what they are thinking?" Du Mao said gloomily, "They just can't beat me? How can they arrange it like this... I won't offend anyone if they don't offend me. I just hit them back if they hit me. These people have no tolerance at all. None, and I’m still thinking about retaliation... It’s all their fault for ruining my reputation!”
The words seemed to subtly boomerang to himself.
"Then since you have always been very sane, and you are not actually mentally ill. It's just that others have programmed you, then you should have your own approach and what you want to do. Can you tell me, have you recently learned about those who can't be offended? Did you encounter anything special when you were there?"
After appeasing the little lunatic who thought he was normal, the topic finally turned to the right track.
Du Mao seemed to be affected by the word "reason" and was also consciously controlling his emotions. But his voice became smaller and smaller under control. It seemed that he was using too much force and was "excessive" in the opposite direction.
"I haven't seen anything big recently, and I haven't talked to anyone. Anyway, I haven't done anything."
Compared with the previous random yelling, it seemed to be stiff and deliberately "gentle".
But it made Shao Zi’s eyes light up,
