Where did the birdcage go?

Wu Ansu unfolded the birdcage with his own hands, and he also knew the foldable structure of the birdcage, but even if it was folded again, the object composed of this thin metal rod was at least the size of two palms, how could it be said that it was gone under his nose?

What's more, Li Mengnan's whole body is almost untouched at the moment, even if he can pull out the birdcage with a technique far beyond the speed of retinal imaging, where can he hide it?

Wu Ansu's gaze subconsciously moved downward, staying on the wide trousers of Li Mengnan's lower body.

"Armed police officer, you know, I'm a very shy person, I will be very ashamed if you look at me like this......" Li Mengnan pretended to twist and tugged at the sides of his pants, "although in a sense, this is indeed a 'birdcage' ......"

"Get out! Dogs can't spit ivory out of their mouths! Wu Ansu realized that he was staring at the ** part of a strange man, and he was immediately ashamed and annoyed.

"Actually, as I said a long time ago, I'm a trickster...... And the trickster, who was originally a liar. ”

Li Mengnan smiled indifferently, took the towel in Wu Ansu's hand and covered it in his hand, grabbed it casually, and the birdcage just now appeared in his hand again.

"This ...... It's not scientific! How did you do that? ”

Wu Ansu, who takes the criminal police as the direction of her efforts, is most proud of her own observation, in the early criminal investigation class, she could even deduce the suspect in an instant just based on a photo of the scene, but she couldn't see the flaws in Li Mengnan's magic trick at all.

If it weren't for seeing Li Mengnan's box of magic props, she might even start to suspect that Li Mengnan is a legendary superpower...... Although she never believed in the existence of such people.

Li Mengnan folded the birdcage and put it back in the suitcase, took out a black tight vest from another suitcase and put it on his body, stretched out a finger and shook it in front of Wu Ansu, and said in a solemn tone: "The trickster uses deception to bring joy to the audience, this is the professional ethics of the trickster...... And the audience should also have the professional ethics of the audience, and never try to expose the trickster's deception. ”

Every profession has its own professional secrets, especially magic.

Wu Ansu himself is a person who attaches great importance to professional ethics, and he also realized that he asked something that he shouldn't ask, so he nodded slightly to Li Mengnan to apologize, but he was a little more curious about Li Mengnan as a person.

"Who did you learn magic from?"

"My grandfather, that's the jar of ......"

"Alright, alright! Don't explain it in such detail! Wu Ansu knew that this cheap Li Mengnan would definitely mention the jar of ashes again, and his stomach couldn't help but churn again.

Li Mengnan took a glass of water from the water dispenser in the room and held it in front of Wu Ansu, and comforted him earnestly: "Come, drink some water...... As a people's policeman, you can't even get over the psychological barrier, how can you face the most vicious criminals in the future, and how can you protect the lives of the weak people like us? ”

"Give me less on the line! These are two different things! Wu Ansu took the water cup and drank a few sips, the feeling in his stomach finally suppressed a lot, and he glanced at Li Mengnan angrily, and said: "People like you, I'd rather let the criminals kill you......"

Li Mengnan grinned, revealing a mouthful of healthy little white teeth that could be used for toothpaste advertising, and smiled brightly.

"Your grandfather must be a very good magician, right?"

Although Wu Ansu doesn't understand magic, it doesn't prevent her from understanding the difficulty and excitement of Li Mengnan's magic just now.

"A good trickster is not measured by how many difficult tricks he masters...... Just like you, is it true that only a high position is a good policeman? In my opinion, you are a good person, armed police officer, and you are conscientious in your work......"

"Uh...... Thank you. Wu Ansu was stunned, she didn't expect Li Mengnan to turn the topic to her.

Wu Ansu has been praised by instructors and praised by superiors, but he has never been praised and recognized by ordinary people, and his heart suddenly felt a little warm for a while.

Of course, it remains to be discussed whether Li Mengnan can represent the broad masses of the people.

"It's just that the attitude towards the people is a bit rude, impatient, loud-voiced, suspicious, and looks like a potential ......criminal," Li Mengnan continued to fold his fingers and said.

"Li Mengnan! How far is Mars, how far do you roll me! ”

Wu Ansu crumpled the empty disposable paper cup in her hand into a ball and smashed it towards Li Mengnan, she probably didn't suffer as much anger in her life as she did in this day.

However, Wu Ansu now also knows that Li Mengnan is a cheap person, but he doesn't have any bad intentions, so he cursed a few words in his heart and didn't bother to bother with him, stroking his suitcase and asking, "Li Mengnan, what about your parents?" ”

Wu Ansu also remembered this question when he saw the parents of the new students who sent their children to report in the hotel, this Li Mengnan always seemed to mention his grandfather, but never heard him mention his parents.

"My parents?" Li Mengnan's playful expression inexplicably became a little stiff, and his face hung with an almost imperceptible gloom.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have brought it up." Wu Ansu felt that he might have said the wrong thing again.

"Oh...... No, armed police officer, you think too much. Li Mengnan hurriedly waved his hand, "My parents are not dead, they are both alive and well." ”

Wu Ansu is so angry, you put that stinky face on me if you live well, why don't you make me think about it too much?

"Actually, I'm not related to my grandfather, I was adopted."

Li Mengnan walked to the side of the bed and took out a pack of Honghe cigarettes from his trouser pocket and made a gesture to Wu Ansu.

Wu Ansu suddenly discovered that Li Mengnan had a very good habit of asking for the opinions of the ladies present before smoking, and this kind of respect for details could not be said to be absent among the men she had come into contact with, but it was quite rare.

"It's okay, you smoke it." Wu Ansu's deceased father was a regular smoker, so she was not averse to men who smoked.

The red spark lit up in his mouth, and Li Mengnan let out a long puff of gray-white smoke, and continued, "It's not accurate to say adoption...... When I was less than two years old, I was abducted by traffickers and sold to Mongolia, where I was bought and raised by my grandfather. ”

Wu Ansu didn't expect Li Mengnan to have such a tragic background, so he couldn't help but feel a little more sympathetic, and said softly: "Doesn't your grandfather know that human trafficking is illegal?" ”

"Actually, he can't be blamed for this, my grandfather just wanted someone to support him in his old age, and the trafficker didn't say that I was abducted, only that it was a child that relatives couldn't afford to support......"

Wu Ansu nodded, she had also been exposed to some cases of child trafficking, and this kind of rhetoric was indeed more common when traffickers were selling babies.

"When I was about 15 years old, a few police officers came to our village, and it was said that they had captured a very large gang of child abductors and traffickers, and they verified their identities based on the suspects' confessions...... It was on that day that I learned about my biological parents. ”

"And then? Have you met your birth parents? Wu Ansu said with concern.

"I didn't see them, but I talked to them on the phone."

"Why?"

Wu Ansu felt extremely incredible, no parent of an abducted child would not be in a hurry to see the child as soon as possible, after all, blood is thicker than water, how could he not even see his face?
