After hanging up Lin Fang’s phone, I used Meng Meng’s computer to check Lin Fang’s phone number again, and sure enough, it was located in a small country in Africa again, she couldn’t have run there, and this time used an internet phone.
Lin Fang still hadn’t figured out that since the man behind him could provide her with so many things that I wanted beyond measure, this person was definitely targeting me, in other words, this person could only be working with me.
Lin Fang was not worth fearing, it was this person behind her that frightened me.
This man hadn’t even shown his face yet he had already checked me out, and had such high anti-surveillance skills, who was he and what did he want?
The old man and I did not agree on how to deal with the jungle man, but the old man tacitly agreed that I should summon Jiang Ming first and continue my investigation into the gun trafficking syndicate.
The investigation had come to a head, and this mysterious gun trafficking syndicate was about to reveal itself.
Xia Gehuai wanted to lead someone to summon Jiang Ming, but I told him to stay out of the way and that the matter could be arranged for someone else to do it first.
“Someone else might not be able to ask anything.” Xia Gehuai worried.
“We won’t be able to ask anything either.” I said, “Jiang Ming is a pervert we’ve all seen before, smart in the head and not afraid to not abuse, probably no interrogation techniques will work on him.”
“Then you’re worrying for nothing, there’s nothing you can’t ask when you come in, there’s any kind of confession you want.” Xia Gehuai gritted his teeth and said, “If you hadn’t allowed it, I would have arrested Liu Rong too! Do you really think we police officers are easy to bully? But if our men hadn’t stepped in, in case the person interrogating Jiang Ming happened to be a black cop, I’m afraid Jiang Ming would have had to go out again after coming in for a day trip, wasting such a good opportunity and alerting the snake.”
Xia Gehuai did not know Jiang Ming, and in no way did he know that Jiang Ming must have known that we were on to him.
The most important thing now is not to interrogate Jiang Ming from his mouth, but to find out what Jiang Ming is really up to.
What is Jiang Ming’s plan?
“You should do as I say, Jiang Ming is a very difficult person to deal with. He is so easy for me to find out this time, something is very wrong.”
“Alright, then I’ll find a way to find a reliable person to go with.” Xia Gehuai said, “It might not be possible to interrogate anything, but do you have anything to ask?”
“You follow the usual interrogation, just don’t let him see anything different.” I said.
“What the hell are you guys up to?”
“That’s for Jiang Ming to ask.”
After arranging for Xia Gehuai, I left the conference room, where Meng Meng and Old Li were waiting for me at the door, Old Li with a cigarette in his mouth and Zhao Xiaoliu standing at his feet.
“You kid, stand away from me, is second-hand smoke that good?”
“Handsome guys, you are so handsome, teach me how to be a special forces soldier.” Zhao Xiaoliu looked at Old Li with admiration.
Meng Meng joked, “Old Li, this is the first time in your life you’ve been complimented on being called handsome.”
Old Li looked helpless, holding a cigarette in his mouth, his eyebrows furrowed into a Sichuan shape, and when he saw me coming out, he gave me a difficult smile.
“Kid, what are you pestering Old Li for?”
Zhao Xiaoliu also treated me much better than yesterday and came over to pester me instead, “Handsome, you’re their captain? You let me be a special forces soldier too.”
Meng Meng laughed wildly, “So this kid calls everyone handsome. Captain, what about it? What did the old man say?”
With Zhao Xiaoliu present, it was not convenient for me to reveal too much, but this kid was hugging my trouser leg like a monkey, and I couldn’t shake it off, so I couldn’t just kick him away.
“Ask Zhao Zichen, as long as Zhao Zichen agrees, when you’re 18 you’ll come and join the army as a soldier.”
“Why do we need the Red Light Society dogs to agree?” Zhao Xiaoliu muttered, but seeing how determined I was, he had to let go of me and say, “Then I’ll go call and ask him now.”
“Wait, you come back.”
I shouted and Zhao Xiaoliu came backwards, grinning with his teeth bared, “Captain!”
“sh*t, so quick to latch on. Let me ask you, how did you find Jiang Yang yesterday?”
It was so late last night that I hadn’t had time to ask Zhao Xiaoliu about this matter in detail. Zhao Xiaoliu was a wanderer in the hospital and didn’t know Jiang Yang at all, and Tao Zhengyang, who was supposed to be recovering in the hospital, how did he also appear in the Ju En Group building?
“Didn’t the dog from the Red Light Club give me a hundred dollars yesterday?”
“You kid, don’t say dog in one breath, you should call him Uncle Zhao.” I said with tears and laughter.
“I call him uncle? No way, call him, at most, Old Zhao.” He said old-fashionedly, “Yesterday Old Zhao gave me a hundred dollars and I bought KFC because Tao Zhengyang said he wanted to eat KFC but his parents and doctor wouldn’t let him.”
“How did you meet Tao Zhengyang?”
“I’m my buddy, we met in the ward. Last night he got a call from Jiang Yang, who was looking for him to save his life, so we went together.”
“Jiang Yang called you guys?” I asked again and again.
“That’s right. I was trying to find the Red Light Society’s dog …… oh no, trying to get this old Zhao, but I had to call old Zhao’s number several times before I got through. I didn’t steal anyone else’s phone, I called from Tao Zhengyang’s phone and I never stole anything again, Captain ……”
Zhao Xiaoliu looked at me sheepishly, probably afraid that I wouldn’t let him become a special forces soldier.
“Good, it’s okay, you go ahead. You got credit for saving people this time, and when you come to enlist later, I’ll be sure to talk to your instructor about it.”
“True ta! Then I’ll go ask Old Zhao now!”
Zhao Xiaoliu ran off with a bounce, and Meng Meng looked at Zhao Xiaoliu’s back and whispered, “Captain, what’s wrong?”
“Why isn’t Jiang Yang looking for He Bi?”
The previous times when something happened to Jiang Yang, he was the first one to look for He Bi, but this time, surprisingly, he didn’t look for He Bi, but for Tao Zhengyang.
Isn’t this strange?
When a child is in danger, the first reaction is to look for an adult, but Jiang Yang did the opposite, she looked for Tao Zhengyang, who is also a child, and Tao Zhengyang is still in the hospital.
“You suspect that someone did it on purpose?”
“Jiang Yang fainted when they arrived, but how could Jiang Yang have a mobile phone, her family doesn’t have much money, would they give a primary school student a mobile phone? And Jiang Yang was kidnapped and these guys didn’t confiscate her phone?”
Old Li pondered, “But why? To get a kid to help, in order to trick this kid?”
“Meng Meng, you tell Xia Ge Huai to focus on interrogating Yin’s family and keep everyone separate for individual interrogation. This is a local matter, even if we’re investigating a case, we can’t cross over to the police. We can’t count on what Jiang Ming is really up to now, so all caution is best.”
“Yes.”
After arranging things at the villa, I planned to make a trip to the police station myself.
The Tong police had been corpses for so many years, and with such a major case, I wondered if they were capable of handling it.
I thought he was going to ask me what the chief was going to do about the jianghu matter, but to my surprise, what Yue Man Gong told me was about Zhao Xiaoliu.
As usual, he said that Zhao Xiaoliu was perfect for learning the art of Chien, and asked me to help persuade Zhao Zichen to let him go.
“Tell Zhao Xiaoliu yourself that Zhao Zichen is not Zhao Xiaoliu’s guardian, and the boy doesn’t listen to Zhao Zichen.” I said, “But I’m just wondering, is this kid that much of a thousand-year-old wonder? Your Thousand Clan recruits more than one disciple every year, right, so why do you need to hang on to one tree. Even if the Thousand Clans never have any good talent, your Moon Man Bow is not bad on its own, it can carry the Thousand Clans for a while, don’t worry about the Thousand Clans declining.”
Yue Man Gong wanted to say something but stopped, his face looked very bad.
“It’s fine if you want me to talk to Zhao Zichen, but Zhao Xiaoliu may not necessarily listen to Zhao Zichen. The premise is that you have to tell me why the Thousand Doors are so unpopular, and whether you’ll let kids cheat at the casino?” I asked, half jokingly, half seriously.
Instead of laughing, Yue Man Gong said more seriously, “The storm is coming, how can I alone support the prosperity of a sect? The world is not going to be peaceful for much longer, and the thousand sects have accumulated wealth, so if we don’t have any good students, we will definitely be the first to suffer in the future. It has been more than ten years and this struggle is almost over, Zhang Chao, for no one else’s sake, even if it is for your father’s sake, please help me to persuade Zhao Zichen.”
He spoke in a cloud, and I didn’t understand a word of what he said, but that phrase about the struggle of more than ten years reminded me at once of Liu Rong’s words.
What was the struggle anyway?
