In the early morning of the next day, before dawn, Yao Mu took several of his men and left the port city on a fishing boat, heading for Haojiang.
In fact, he doesn't need to be in such a hurry. After all, Juanmaokang was settled last night and Bai Cunbao's delivery channel was completed. Today, Juanmaokang will naturally take the initiative to hand over to Bai Cunbao.
However, this is not his own business after all. What he is more concerned about now is how to obtain the information Hongyitang needs on several Portuguese officers stationed in Haojiang.
Because Curly Mao Kang had already provided information about a company commander last night, he only needed to collect information about several other officers before he could take the initiative and show his face in front of General Fang.
When a red sun emerged from the sea level, Yao Mu's fishing boat also docked at the pier of Haojiang River. This was just an ordinary fishing boat pier. There were some scattered fishing boats parked on the pier, and there were fishermen on the pier. Fresh fish caught last night are on sale.
The arrival of Yao Mu and others was very low-key, and no one came to greet them at the pier. The few people quickly blended into the crowd at the pier and wandered to a tenement house on an unknown street.
"Sir, this is it!"
Yao Mu stood downstairs and glanced up at the three-story street tenement building. Then he turned around and looked around. He found that it was still early and there were very few pedestrians around. Not many people paid attention to the arrival of their group. .
"Knock on the door!"
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, a plainclothes police officer from the crowd came downstairs and knocked gently on the side door. After knocking three or four times, a young woman's voice came from inside the room.
"Who!"
"Hello! Are you Miss Cai? We are coming from Hong Kong City. Uncle Xin asked us to bring something to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of opening the door inside. Seeing this, the surrounding police officers quickly moved towards the door.
The moment the door opened, before the woman inside could come out, a group of police officers squeezed in through the crack in the door.
A terrified scream was heard from the woman, but the sound stopped abruptly just halfway through. Clearly, the woman is under control.
Soon, two muffled groans came from upstairs, and then there was silence. Yao Mu followed the police officers unhurriedly, opened the door and walked up.
Among the several police officers who were scattered around just now, in the blink of an eye only one police officer responsible for guarding downstairs remained.
After all, this is Haojiang, not Hong Kong City. The Hong Kong City police have no law enforcement power here, so these police officers cannot help but be extra careful.
Arriving at the room on the second floor, Yao Mu nodded to a young woman who was looking at everyone in horror and an older middle-aged woman on the sofa in the living room, and slowly sat down with the two of them. opposite.
After looking the young woman up and down, he showed a warm smile and said:
"You must be Miss Cai! Don't be nervous, we are not bad people. My name is Yao Mu, I am a Hong Kong police officer. I took the liberty of visiting today. There is a case that requires Miss Cai's cooperation."
When the woman heard this, she was obviously stunned. She originally thought she had met a robber, but she didn't expect the other party to tell her that they were the police. After looking around suspiciously, he seemed not to be as scared as before. He looked at Yao Mu with some worry and said:
"Did my dad commit something? We have nothing to do with him. My mom has been divorced from him for many years. We don't know anything about him."
The middle-aged woman also said repeatedly:
"I divorced that murderer a long time ago. Whatever he did is none of our business. You can't listen to his nonsense and wrongfully accuse good people."
It turns out that this woman is Miss Cai's mother.
When Yao Mu heard what the two said, he smiled and shook his head:
"Please rest assured, we are police officers, and we must rely on evidence when doing things. The main reason we came here this time is to find out some information from Miss Cai. We also ask Miss Cai to answer our questions honestly and not to hide anything from us.
You two are ladies and we don't want to lose our gentlemanliness, you know what I mean? "
These obviously threatening words caused the faces of both women to change, and their faces that had just improved slightly turned pale again.
The young Miss Cai seemed to have thought of something, and her face turned red. Facing Yao Mu's calm gaze, she said with a hint of warning:
"Let me tell you, this is Haojiang, not a port city. My man is a Portuguese officer. Whatever you do, you'd better think clearly about the consequences.
If something happens to me, my man will definitely not let you go. "
Hearing this, Yao Mu smiled slightly and took a serious look at the young Miss Cai again. To be honest, this woman was not beautiful. She was dark and thin, with protruding cheekbones and thin lips. She was naturally mean. He is very similar to his mother.
"Oh! Did Miss Cai marry a Portuguese officer? But why didn't I see your man at your home? Don't lie to me!"
These words made Miss Cai's face turn slightly red, a trace of embarrassment disappeared in a flash, and she quickly returned to normal, and said with a stern tone again:
"He worked the night shift last night and came back in half an hour! Let me tell you, if you leave now, it's still too late!"
Upon hearing this, Yao Mu winked at a police officer behind Miss Cai. The police officer nodded knowingly, quietly exited the room and walked downstairs.
"Oh! I wonder what your man is called and what position he holds in the Portuguese army!"
Naturally, the police officer's departure was not hidden from Miss Cai's ears. Hearing Yao Mu's question, he thought that Yao Mu was scared, and he suddenly felt a little proud, and the eyes he looked at several people were no longer as scared as before.
"I'm not lying to you. My man's name is Osborne. He is a lieutenant in the Portuguese army and serves as the logistics section chief of the army stationed in Haojiang. If you hurt us, you will definitely not be able to leave Haojiang."
Hearing this, Yao Mu met Miss Cai's warning gaze with a half-smile and said:
"This Lieutenant Osborne must not be an upright officer! Otherwise, he shouldn't be able to afford this tenement building with his income!"
Miss Cai's face suddenly turned ugly. She didn't expect that the man opposite her was not afraid because her man was a Portuguese officer. Instead, she immediately grabbed his handle, which made her feel confused for a moment. .
"Don't talk nonsense. We bought this house and it has nothing to do with my man."
As soon as he said this, the expression on Yao Mu's face became even more playful. He looked at Miss Cai with a half-smile and said:
"Ms. Cai, are you sure you bought this house with your own money? This is different from the news we got! Uncle Xin owes a lot of foreign debt in Hong Kong City and is trying to find ways to raise funds!
If you are sure that you bought this house yourself, then I think there will be many people interested in this house. "
Miss Cai's face suddenly changed when she heard this. She found that no matter what she said, she couldn't escape the other party's grasp, which made him very panicked.
His mother exploded instantly, yelled and rushed towards Yao Mu, and cursed loudly:
"You, the murderer of a thousand swords, we have nothing to do with that dead ghost for a long time. The debt he owes has nothing to do with us.
If you want to find him to collect debts, go to Hong Kong City to find him!
Why don't you come to Haojiang to find us? "
The police officers who had been standing behind the two women naturally would not let this woman hurt their commander. As early as the woman wanted to rush out, the two police officers behind them stepped forward and dragged Ms. Cai’s mother back to the sofa. on the sofa and pinned her down so she couldn't move.
At this time, the middle-aged woman completely exploded, screaming loudly and desperately:
"Help! There was a murder and robbery. Help! A bad guy rushed in!"
This sudden change shocked everyone, and Yao Mu's face instantly turned livid. He opened his suit and put his hand on the holster on his waist.
The two policemen who were controlling the middle-aged woman also quickly covered the woman's mouth with their hands, but not long after they covered her mouth, the policeman couldn't help but scream in pain.
It turned out that the woman actually bit the policeman's hand, biting the policeman until blood flowed. When the other policeman saw this, he was worried that he would scream again, so he took out his pistol and stabbed the muzzle of the gun into the woman's hand. In the mouth.
"Damn shrew, if you scream again, I will shoot you."
The woman was originally ready to continue screaming, but because he bit the policeman's hand and let blood flow into his mouth, he couldn't help it. Bah, bah, he spat twice, and after spitting out the blood, he was ready. Start yelling again.
Unexpectedly, before he could speak, a cold, rusty gun barrel was thrust into his mouth. In an instant, he was like a duck being strangled by the neck, losing his voice in an instant. His eyes became frightened again.
All these changes were so fast. Before Ms. Cai next to her could react, everything returned to calm. Just when she was about to say something, she accidentally saw Yao Mu's hand touching his waist, and Where is the dark gun handle exposed?
This made her instantly suppress the urge to resist. Looking at her mother with the gun pointed at her mouth, he was serious and full of horror.
He looked at Yao Mu with a slightly pleading look and said:
"Please, don't hurt my mother. Whatever you want, you can tell me and I will give you whatever I can.
Do you want money? We have money at home, it’s upstairs, I’ll get it for you! Please don't hurt us. "
Yao Mu glared at her mother with cold eyes. He had never met such a shrew before, and he almost couldn't hold back and shot her directly. Hearing Miss Cai's words, he knew that she had compromised, but he still felt very annoyed and shouted directly at the woman:
"shut up!"
After saying that, they stood up and went to the window sill on the second floor and looked out at the street. They came here to keep a low profile this time. If the shrew's loud voice alerted the surrounding neighbors, they would be passive.
But after looking at it for a while, he became a little confused. Because it had just dawned and the streets outside were not noisy, the woman's sudden scream was naturally very harsh and it was impossible for no one to hear it.
But after Yao Mu observed for a while, he was surprised to find that although there were several people looking in this direction on the street outside, no one had any intention of coming over to find out. Several people even spat directly in this direction, and seemed to be cursing a bit.
After thinking about it for a while, Yao Mu had some guesses. When he looked back at the mother and daughter on the sofa, his eyes couldn't help but look a little strange. The anger in his heart slowly faded and began to be replaced by a feeling of schadenfreude.
"Ms. Cai, it seems that your family's popularity around you is not good! When everyone heard your mother's voice, not only did they have no intention of coming to help, but they seemed to be used to it!"
Hearing this, Miss Cai, who was originally full of fear, couldn't help but turn blue and red.
Seeing that Miss Cai did not answer, Yao Mu also smiled, took his hand away from the handle of the gun, returned to the sofa and said:
"Miss Cai, if you don't want to lose your life, you'd better cooperate with us. Our target is not you. If something like this happens again, don't blame me for killing the flower."
Ms. Cai didn't react to Yao Mu's words for a moment. What did she mean? They broke into the house and said the target was not me, so who was it? Suddenly, he seemed to understand something. His eyes widened and he looked at the other party with horror on his face and said:
"You... you, you are not here for Osborne, are you?"
At this time, Yao Mu didn't want to continue talking nonsense to the other party, so he nodded directly and said:
"We have a few things to ask him. If he can cooperate well, we promise not to harm your family, but if we can't get the answer we want, we'll be sorry!"
I wonder if it was Yao Mu's words not to harm their family that gave Miss Cai hope of survival. She looked at Yao Mu with surprise and said:
"Really? As long as we answer your questions, you won't hurt us?"
Looking at this moody woman, Yao Mu felt a little helpless, but she was still needed at this time, so he didn't hide it.
Said directly:
"Yes, his commander offended someone who shouldn't be offended. Now some big shots want to teach them a lesson. We want to know some dirty information about his superiors. I think Mr. Osborne, as one of their own, should be able to Give us some good advice, right?”
Miss Cai was really speechless now and couldn't help complaining directly:
"If you want to cause trouble for his superior, can't you just go to his superior's home? Why are you trying to embarrass us two women?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Mu could not help but become furious again. He once again grasped the gun at his waist, glared at Miss Cai fiercely and said:
"What we do is our business. Now you still pray that Mr. Osborne really treats you as his woman! If you can't persuade him to give us an answer that satisfies us, then we will I can only say sorry."
Seeing Yao Mu getting angry, Miss Cai couldn't help but shrink her neck. Knowing that she had said the wrong thing, she quickly showed a flattering smile.
However, he soon realized that what Yao Mu meant was that if Osborne was unwilling to tell them what they wanted, he might kill them all.
This was not something she could accept. Other people's lives were not as important as his. Even Osborne's life was not as important as hers. At this moment, she couldn't help but start thinking about how to save her life.
