Chapter 96: The Lost Contact Case (7)

  Tian Niu didn't know who Ge Zhao Bao was. But someone who can give autographs must not be an ordinary person. However, Tian Niu didn't believe that Liu Lao Liu could get the other party's handwritten signature. It should be like those small-time celebrities who open online stores nowadays. They just sign a photo and then print it everywhere. Even the photo and signature are printed copies.

  Finally found the goods. This day almost exhausted Tian Niao Niao to death. Irritably standing next to Liu Lao Liu, feeling someone beside him. Liu Lao Liu slightly turned his head and saw a flash of sky blue. He took off running; Tian Niao Niao anxiously shouted: "Liu Lao Liu, stop! Don't run!" But who knew Liu Lao Liu ran even faster? He ripped off the scarf on his head, then pulled out toilet paper from his pocket to wipe away the oil paint on his face. With a quick motion, he took off his jersey and dove into the crowd. Tian Niao Niao couldn't see him anymore. Looking at his watch, 44 seconds. Liu Lao Liu went from running to changing his appearance to disappearing in just 44 seconds.

  Tian Miao, who was on the verge of going crazy, stood at the entrance of the basketball court for a full 3 minutes before receiving Liu Laos's call: "Haha... little Miao. Ah no, Officer Miao, have you arrived? I had a bit of a misunderstanding with one of your colleagues..."

  Tian Miao Miao was furious and shouted into the phone: "The person who just stood next to you is me!"

  "Cough... look at this mess. You exit the square and turn left. About 100 meters later, you'll see the first intersection, turn right. At the first traffic light, turn left and walk in for about 50 meters, you'll see a small shop on a side road. First time update? I'm in the teahouse of the third house on the right."

  Hanging up the phone, Tian Miao was shocked. If this guy had gone to run the 100m hurdles in the first place, Liu Xiang would have been nothing.

  Almost running all the way, Tian Miao finally found the teahouse that Liu Laosix had mentioned. In the blink of an eye, this old swindler had changed into a new outfit. Wearing a Tang-style shirt with a crossed collar, wearing thousand-layered sole cloth shoes on his feet, and holding a covered bowl of tea in his hand, he was sipping and slurping away at the tea water.

  Looking at him like that, Tian Miao couldn't help but feel annoyed. She plopped down beside Liu Laosan and he hastily put down his teacup. He politely asked, "Officer Miao, what kind of tea would you like? This Liu'an Gua Pian is quite famous." Tian Miao looked at him disdainfully and said, "Cut the crap. Can't you see this is just a street-side teahouse? They wouldn't have Liu'an Gua Pian here. Just give me a glass of water, I'm parched from running."

  Liu Lao Liu hastily called for the waiter to bring tea. Tian Miao Miao said, "Is it convenient to talk here? Just call me Miao Miao. After all, we're old acquaintances." One sentence made Liu Lao Liu's face light up with a smile. "Convenient, convenient. I come often. Haha, from now on, I'll also have police friends. I see who dares to bully me again." Tian Miao Miao gave him a white eye: "You'd better not cause trouble, or else I'll be the first to lead the team to catch you." Liu Lao Liu shook his head and poured tea while saying, "Hey, look at what you're saying. Someone like me can't cause any trouble. Your fingers were slightly loose, and you let me slip away."

  Tian Miao thought for a moment, this old cheat apart from cheating and deceiving others, seemed to have never done anything out of the ordinary. More chapters please click here. He nodded his head and said: "Liu Laoliu, I've got some trouble that needs your help. Can you help me?"

  Liu Lao Liu magnanimously said that Miao Miao's affairs were his own. He went through thick and thin, and without hesitation, he spoke at length. Tian Miao Miao took two photos from her shirt pocket and handed them to him: "You don't know my current work unit yet."

  Liu Laosix is curiously observing the photo while respectfully asking: "I don't know where MiaoMiao is working now."

  Tian Miao said, "I'm now in a big team. This is a pretty tricky case we're dealing with. Two female students have gone missing. We've retrieved the traffic police's surveillance footage and found that one of the girls was carrying a backpack with distinctive features." He pointed to the second photo and said, "Look here, there are obvious stains, like ink from a pen. Liu Lao Liu, I know you have many connections in society. Help me find this backpack. Later, I'll talk to our team leader and apply for a 'Peaceful Construction Honor Certificate' for you. What do you say?"

  Liu Lao Liu was still a bit absent-minded at first. After hearing the last one say something about an honorary certificate, he smiled and asked Tian Miao Miao: "Is this the legendary Good Citizen Award? And isn't this just a verbal reward?"

  Tian Miao thought for a moment and said, "I'll try to get you some more reward money. But not much. Our special case group's budget is pretty tight..." She knew that finding someone like Liu Lao Liu was not just about talking; it required actual results. The correct method was to open the way with cash. Biting her tongue, she thought that at most, she would apply for 1,000 yuan in reward money from the team and then squeeze out another 500 yuan from her own salary as a reward for him. That should be enough, right? But Liu Lao Liu kept shaking his head. "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! How could I take your reward money when you helped me with my business? You lent me 5,000 yuan without even frowning, and it took me almost a year to pay you back. Just for that, I shouldn't accept your money. What I want is a certificate. If I can get a certificate from a big team like yours, next time when the city management or industry and commerce administration comes to bother me, I'll slap the certificate in their face. Look, look! Good citizen, Liu Lao Liu."

  The corn seedlings were delighted. This old cheat was originally because of this. And gave him a reassurance: "Our country doesn't have a good citizen award. More and faster chapters please go to. Hong Kong TV dramas only have it. But we are now doing security co-construction. Assisting public security organs in cracking cases and making significant contributions, we have peace-building honor certificates. You can get this certificate. When you elect the CPPCC committee members, you will have your share...

  Don't worry, Liu Laoliu. As long as you get this thing done, I'll let our external affairs department give the city management squadron a heads up. From now on, we'll turn a blind eye to your business. As long as you don't break the law or commit crimes, it's like we never saw anything.

  Another day has passed. The branch team can no longer withstand the pressure. The municipal bureau's deadline for cracking the case is getting shorter by the day. Even the provincial hall has begun to pay attention to this case. Helplessly, Zhou Bin summoned all the members of the special case group to the captain's office for a meeting. Inquiring about the progress of the case. The first team, no matter what, is an assisting unit. Although the pressure is great, it can still be withstood. However, the Xinghua Ridge sub-bureau cannot withstand it. Deputy Director Su has personally taken office at the Xinghua Ridge sub-bureau and released a statement: "This case will not be cracked in one day, and he will not leave for one day."

  The detectives at Apricot Flower Ridge have been exhausted lately, just like Sanzi. When Tian Miao saw Lin Kun again, this fat guy had obviously lost a lot of weight. As soon as Lin Kun saw Tian Miao, he was like an ordinary person seeing the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, with tears in his eyes, complaining: "I haven't closed my eyes for three days", "I've only eaten one meal in two days"...

  Gao Xiang has been walking around the streets and alleys of Da Yuan with Daliwan for the past two days. Luo Lin and others couldn't sit still either, dividing into two groups to inspect the route with grassroots police every day. Gong Qian's emotions have been abnormal these past two days, often irritable and short-tempered; Tian Miao Miao wanted to talk to her but never had the chance. She seemed possessed, following Wang Hongtao on visits outside every day, often not even drinking a sip of water all day.

  Recently, a relative brought back from abroad a pair of Ferragamo classic bow flat shoes worth around 4,000 yuan. She treasured them dearly and wouldn't even lend them to Tian Miao Miao to take a photo with. She also said Tian Miao Miao had foot odor, which made Tian Miao Miao so angry she almost strangled her... And now, after just two days, the shoes are already worn out. It's really heartbreaking for Tian Miao Miao; lately, Gong Qian has become more and more careless about her image. She dresses like a mess, with her hair tied up randomly with a rubber band, wearing casual sportswear, and her shoes have been replaced with lightweight, soft-soled sneakers. Often when she comes back, her body and face are covered in a layer of dust. In the past, she would have screamed and rushed back to the dormitory to take several showers. These days, she just wipes her face casually, eats two mouthfuls of boxed rice, and then finds a place to lie down and sleep.

  Tian Niu Niu's mind was clear. Gong Qian becoming like this might have something to do with Su Su, but she couldn't grasp the key point. Fortunately, such torture didn't last too long. The all-powerful Liu Lao Liu once again gave Tian Niu Niu a surprise. 26 hours. Just 26 hours later. Liu Lao Liu found Chen Yu Meng's schoolbag.

  The case had a major breakthrough for the first time. The task force turned over the sky, a large team turned over the sky, and the Xinghua Ridge sub-bureau was fully mobilized. More than 20 police cars surrounded the new village of Dunhuafang. Liu Lao Liu led an old man wearing tattered clothes, with his hands clasped behind his head, to the police car. As they walked, he said to the old man: "Learn from me like this. Hands together. Raise it a little. Must be placed on the head. Otherwise, the police can open fire..."

  The old man was so scared that he was trembling all over and couldn't speak. The police comforted him, and after catching his breath, the old man handed over a yellow backpack. The police searched their pockets and found a photo in each of them. They matched. It was this backpack. The police were ecstatic. Gong Qian let out a sharp cry and rushed forward, tightly hugging the backpack and refusing to let go. Lin Baozi from the Xinghua Ridge Police Station hurried over to reason with Tian Miao: "I'm telling you, Miao, have some pity on us. Deputy Director Su has even brought his bedding and is waiting anxiously. Can't we just take this backpack back and report our success first?"

  Tian Niao shook her head and said, "I don't know what's going on with Gong Qian lately either." However, this backpack should still be handed over to our team. You just need to go back and report that you've found a major clue. Our team can take it back for technical appraisal and consider the case closed. If Deputy Director Su is anxious, he'll rush over to our team with his bedding. You're also freed up, aren't you?

  It seems what she said makes sense. Lin Kun smiled bitterly and said, "Indeed, the prettier the sister is, the more ruthless she is. Alright, let's do it as you said." He turned his head and shouted loudly to gather everyone, then led the people from Xinghua Ridge Police Station away.

  Most of the police left. Liu Laosix finally calmed down a bit. It turned out that this old man was a waste collector from Dunhua Fang Xincun. A few days ago, he picked up the backpack on the side of a branch road near the village entrance. He thought the backpack was good, so he took it back. Chen Gang and Zhang Wei led the old man to make a record. The trouble is that he can't remember exactly when he picked up the backpack. Only remembered that it was about two days ago. Luo Lin and Gao Xiang walked around the village and visited every household. Luo Lin said, "Let's go back to the team. Bring the evidence back for identification. We need to analyze it carefully."
