Gao Chongjiu said: "Li Ziyu from the Public Security Department turns out to be a patrol officer in that area. He is familiar with the area and is familiar with the situation of the person involved. Let him go on errands with me."
Wu Xiang nodded: "Okay, but he will have another use soon. He will work with you for a day or two at most."
"One or two days will be enough." Gao Chongjiu seemed very confident.
Wu Xiang called Li Ziyu over: "Xiao Li, since you are familiar with the situation of the person involved, I have decided that you and Lao Gao will handle it."
Gao Chongjiu came out and gave the report receipt to Zeng Juan: "You're lucky, we've opened a case for you. We'll send the police out to handle it now!"
Zeng Juan knelt down with a pop and cried: "Thank you so much for your great kindness. Sister Quanxia Youzhi will definitely bless these gentlemen to live a long life."
Gao Chongjiu sounded a little perplexed, and he quickly waved to Li Ziyu to get him up: "Get up, Da Song, you don't like this. The case of missing children is all about time, and the faster we act, the greater the chance of finding them. .”
When Gao Chongjiu came out of the police station, he did not go to Zeng Juan's brother-in-law's teahouse. He first went to a teahouse diagonally opposite the city hall and whispered a few words to the waiter.
The teahouse at the entrance of the county government office is usually where people from the government gather to do business. Although the government office has been changed to the city government, Gao Chongjiu's old connections are still active here. If he says a word, it won't take long for news to arrive.
After leaving the teahouse, Gao Chongjiu said to Li Ziyu: "There will probably be an answer tomorrow night. Let your little brother rest assured."
Li Ziyu was very excited. He didn't have much contact with Gao Chongjiu, but he didn't expect him to be such an enthusiastic person. He quickly complimented him and said that he would invite him to "drink tea" when he was free.
Gao Chongjiu intended to win over him, so he said a few more polite words.
A group of people arrived at Wanshenglu Tea House. In the morning, the tea house’s business was busiest. There were piles of used steamers at the door, and there were shouts from the hall. It looked lively and prosperous.
Gao Chongjiu led Li Ziyu into the tea house in a swaggering manner. He stopped immediately and coughed first.
The sharp-eyed Qitang had already seen the police coming in and rushed to greet them. When he saw that he was an acquaintance, he quickly greeted him:
"Master Jiu! It's you. It's been a long time since I took care of the business of the shop. Are you having tea today or running an errand? Let me find you a seat first and serve you a pot of herbal tea?"
Gao Chongjiu didn't look at Qitang, he snorted with a smile and said: "Is your boss here?"
"Yes! Yes!" He didn't sit down in the hall and didn't reply. Then he looked at Li Ziyu and Zeng Juan standing next to him - they were both acquaintances. Knowing that something was wrong, he said quickly, "I'll call him right now. You Sit here."
"No need," Gao Chongjiu said, "I'm here to do business today. I'll ask your boss and his wife to come out, ask a few words and then leave." After that, he still stood in the center of the store.
It doesn't matter if he stops like this, the tea guests in the tea house are generally not happy to see a "bad guy" around, let alone that the bad guy is not here to drink tea, so no one outside who wants to come in will be able to come in. , I originally wanted to drink a few more rounds, so I just checked out and left. The boss and his wife, who rushed out in a hurry, complained secretly.
Zeng Juan's brother-in-law's surname was Cao, and he knew Gao Chongjiu - this kind of "upright" fast-class yamen officer usually traveled around the city and knew people very well, and the people who opened the tea house had to interact with each other in order to be able to In normal business, the police officers are doing their best to deal with it.
In Boss Cao's memories, although he and Gao Chongjiu did not have a special relationship, they had not offended him, and everyone was on good terms.
When he saw Zeng Juan next to Gao Chongjiu, his face suddenly elongated - this little bastard! Boss Cao secretly cursed, and when he saw that there was Li Ziyu, he secretly cried out that it was bad luck! He also recognized this Li Ziyu. In the past, he and his former brother-in-law often came to the tea house to eat and drink together, but he didn't expect that he would now become a business official!
Needless to say, these two "Australian agents" were instigated by this little brat Zeng Juan and came to seek trouble of their own! Thinking of this, Boss Cao couldn't help but tighten his anus and hurriedly greeted him with a charming smile on his face:
"Oh! It's Mr. Jiu! You are such a rare visitor! Come on, come on, sit here, my wife, make some tea for the two gentlemen!"
Gao Chongjiu said unceremoniously: "No need, are you the boss?"
"You are such a noble person and forget things so much"
"Don't do this! I'm on an errand," Gao Chongjiu glared, "Handling a case!"
"Yes, yes," Boss Cao complained in his heart, "The younger one is the boss."
"What is your name?"
"Cao Xueguang."
"where's your wife?"
"Come here, come here!" Boss Cao bowed his head.
Mrs. Huang, the mother-in-law of Zeng Juan's ex-brother-in-law, brought two bowls of tea, raised them high, and greeted warmly: "Hey, you two officials, please have a sip of tea. You are out on official business in this hot day. Thanks for your hard work."
Zeng Juan gritted his teeth with hatred when he saw the evil woman's flattering look, wishing that she was just a coward. However, seeing that this "bad guy and girl" could only helplessly flatter him, he secretly felt happy and became more determined to be admitted to the civil service examination.
Gao Chongjiu did not take the cup of tea, but said slowly with his hands behind his back: "We are the people's police and we do not touch the lives of the people. There is no need to drink the tea. Just answer a few of our questions honestly."
"Yes, yes." Huang was a little embarrassed and had to put down the raised tray.
"Are you Mr. Cao's wife?"
"Yes, yes, I am my slave!" Although Huang was fierce and fierce, she was still afraid of official duties.
"What is your name?"
"Cao Huang's family."
"How many children do you have at home?"
"Three, ah, no, two or three." Huang was so frightened that she lost her mind and spilled the beans.
"How many are there? It's a crime to deceive the Senate."
Boss Cao hurriedly said: "In reply to Master Jiu: three, yes three."
"All at home?"
The couple's expressions suddenly became tense, and Gao Chongjiu knew that his judgment was correct. Seeing that they didn't reply, he asked again, "Are you there?"
"Yes, yes, yes." Boss Cao had no choice but to say bravely.
"Call everyone out and have a look."
"This, this," Boss Cao looked confused and couldn't help but glance at Cao Huang.
Cao Huang rushed up and said: "This poor man! What's so interesting about these clay monkeys! How old are they? What illegal things can they do?"
Gao Chongjiu said: "Even if we can't do anything illegal, what can't we watch? We are also sent by the higher-ups, so don't make things difficult for us."
At this time, Boss Cao knew that these police officers were here for Ming Nu, so he kept trying to shirk them, fearing that he would not be able to fool them, so he quickly said: "The two little ones are at home. I will ask someone to bring them out to the police right away." Look, the older one has gone to grandma’s house and is not at home.”
Gao Chongjiu let out an ooh, nodded and said, "In that case, I'll trouble Boss Cao to send someone to bring the big one back. I've seen it in person, so I can go back and sell it."
"This, this, it's a long way to go, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back in a while." Boss Cao hesitated.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, I came out today just to run this errand." Gao Chongjiu didn't care. He pulled up a stool and sat down. "I'll just wait here slowly." After that, he called Li Zi again. Yu, "Come, you sit down too." Then she said to Boss Cao, "There's no need to greet us here. Go and do your work. When the child comes back, we'll take a look, ask a few words and then leave."
Li Ziyu saw his whole style, making things difficult for Cao and his wife in every possible way, but yet he kept everything in check, and she couldn't help but admire him secretly. Two policemen in black uniforms sat in the middle of the store. Not to mention the customers outside who were unwilling to come in, even the customers inside had to be chased away.
Cao Xuegang's face turned green and white, and he didn't know what to do. He saw the tea patrons around him either getting up and leaving, or looking like "watching from the other side" and wanting to watch the show. Cao Huang couldn't hold back her anger, and she said: "What kind of errand can the two gentlemen do? Do you have to look after a ten-year-old girl? She is not a fairy, so what's so good about her?"
"This is an errand I was ordered to do." Gao Chongjiu said, "I had to meet you. Please forgive me." He said hello: "Qitang, bring me two bowls of tea and charge my account!" He looked pleasant again. He said, "Madam boss, we can't drink your tea - there are disciplines: don't take a stitch from the masses, and don't drink a sip of tea from the masses. This is what I called myself, and I will settle the account later."
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Boss Cao had no choice but to say with a grimace, "Mingnu is not here."
"Where are you not going?"
"Going to Foshan."
"You said before that she went to grandma's house." Gao Chongjiu said.
"That's right, that's right, I'm going back to my grandma's house in Foshan."
Gao Chongjiu laughed and said, "Ming Ming in your family has two grandmothers. One is her direct grandmother, who is also the father and mother of this little brother Zeng." He pointed at Zeng Juan, "Ming Nv comes to your house. Is it done yet?!”
Zeng Juan said loudly: "In reply to Master Jiu, no!"
"As for the other grandma," Gao Chongjiu said playfully, "she is the mother of your Cao Huang family. Your nickname is Huang Ping, and your natal family lives in Xiaonanmen Guanxiang. When did you have another natal family in Foshan? ?" He placed the tea cup heavily on the table and said sternly, "I advise you to be honest and tell me! Where did you do Ming Nu?!"
Gao Chongjiu's words not only exposed Cao Huang's lies to their faces, but the following sentence pointed directly at the dark ghosts in their hearts. Like a thunder blow, Shopkeeper Cao suddenly turned pale and swayed, as if he could no longer stand. Although Cao Huang was frightened, she still argued: "Mingnu has hands and feet, how can I control her? Maybe she went elsewhere for fun."
"So she is indeed missing?"
At this point, Cao Huang could no longer deny it and had to admit that it was indeed the case.
"When did you disappear?"
"Today and yesterday"
Zeng Juan couldn't help but said loudly: "You are talking nonsense. I came here the day before yesterday and Mingnu has disappeared. Even if I ask this morning, my whereabouts are still unknown. Not only do you not care, you also scolded me for meddling in my own business!"
