Chapter Twenty-Nine: Hu Muran solves the case, and Baozhu is saved
Three days have passed, and no one can be found, Li Yao has to go to the school to teach while still finding time to see Xiao Ning, although the child is young, he is very strong, and he didn't cry, and even comforted himself in turn: "Sister will be fine!" ”
Fortunately, Lin Zichen occasionally helped Li Yao to inquire about the progress of the case, and Baozhu's case was characterized as an ordinary missing person, but they did not relax at all.
Hu Muran thought of a way, he knows a lot of friends in the market, as long as you give some money, they will help you do things.
Although Lin Zichuan disagrees with this approach, there is no other good way at the moment.
Those few people collected the money, and they worked quite hard, first went in to drink flower wine like everyone else, and when the wine came up, they pretended to cause conflicts, and several people fought in the Flower Pavilion, broke several chairs, smashed a number of melon and fruit plates, and made the Flower Pavilion restless.
The thugs raised in the Flower Pavilion tried their best to pull the fight, trying to blast these people out, but they didn't expect these people to be so muddy, they couldn't catch them like loaches.
Hu Muran, who was waiting not far away, heard the news and broke in with a group of people, and when the owner of the courtyard saw that it was the police, he didn't know whether it was a weak heart or something, and immediately stopped the thugs and went to greet them respectfully.
"It's just a small fight, how dare you alarm the official!"
Hu Muran looked at the broken wood chips and broken melons and fruits on the ground, and two thugs still had colors on their faces, and said disdainfully: "This is still a small fight? If I come later, I'm afraid I'm going to die! ”
He motioned to the people behind him to control a few thugs first, and looked around, a few troublemakers fled and fled, lying on the ground and pretending to be dead, and then he said: "Look at who is making trouble, no one in this house is allowed to leave, I want to check one by one, and every corner of the room is not allowed to be spared!" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the courtyard owner was not happy, she smiled and bowed her head and said: "Official, we are all legal business, if you search like this, I am afraid that our business will not be easy to do in the future!" ”
Hu Muran didn't pay attention to her, only let his subordinates continue to search, and he also followed around, and the owner of the courtyard suddenly felt that this police officer looked a little familiar, like a guest who had come to the store two days ago.
Her face changed, she felt that the situation was a little serious, and secretly beckoned the guy behind her, muttering that she didn't know what to say, Hu Muran turned her head to look, and the owner of the courtyard immediately came over with a smile on her face, although she was soft-spoken, but there was someone behind her to support her, and she spoke quite confidently: "Official, it's just a brawl and trouble, you just take people away, but you take people to search room by room like this, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right?" Besides, the officials in the house may sleep older than you, I just kindly advise you, in case the above people are unhappy, it is not only our garden that suffers. ”
Hu Muran knew this woman's heart, so he smiled and said, "How many people are there who fought and made trouble?" ”
The head of the courtyard replied: "Three people." ”
"How many people do you count on the earth now?"
These two people are actually under the guise of a disguise, the more fierce the two of them are, the more chance the third person has to take advantage of the chaos to hide, the person who hides is called Ma Er, who is good at petty theft, and learned some leg script things from others when he was young, which is considered a bit of childishness.
The year before last, he broke a leg because he stole other people's things, and when he was twisted and sent to the police department, people were almost angry, I heard that he also had a sister, who was born with a bad brain, in order to support his stupid sister, he stole things, Hu Muran took special care of him after he knew it, and after he was released, he often made Hu Muran's eyeliner in the alleys of the market, so as to make some extra money.
Zhang Jiutai's whereabouts were also discovered and informed to them by him.
He was as agile as a mouse, and after a while, he had already touched the second and third floors, and by the way, he also secretly took a look at the fragrant Spring Palace.
The second and third floors of the Hanama Pavilion are indeed ordinary private rooms, and the innermost part of the third floor is where the owner of the courtyard and the Oiran live, which is more luxurious than other rooms, but the house of the master of the courtyard is locked, and there is nothing in it, but it is by no means like a hidden person.
He wanted to try to pick the lock, after all, this kind of lock device was a piece of cake for him, but there was suddenly some noise downstairs.
The girls in the Flower Pavilion are not easy to mess with, one by one they have used the ability of the fox, the police officers who have been entangled in the search, and a few young and vigorous young men can not stand this kind of teasing, they all blushed, pushing and shoving, not beating.
The owner of the courtyard even joked: "When you catch the troublemaker, you might as well stay and have a glass of wine and entertain you for free." ”
This kind of gentle offensive made those people almost moved, and Hu Muran also knew that it would definitely not work to search rashly, if it made trouble in front of his father, he was thick-skinned, and it didn't matter if he resisted the beating, but it would be bad if he implicated other people.
He estimated that Ma Er should have been almost found, symbolically looking around, and the guests downstairs also checked at random, at this time, Ma Er was swaying this way.
The courtyard master's eyes were sharp, and he pointed at Ma Er and said, "It's him, it's him!" ”
Ma Er didn't struggle, pretending to be drunk and unconscious, several people carried him out, Hu Muran took away the troublemakers, the owner of the courtyard stepped forward, pretending to thank him, but as soon as they left, they hurried upstairs.
Ma Er was carried into the police car, and as soon as the car started, Hu Muran gave him a kick: "Wake up, still pretend to be asleep?" ”
Ma Erle sat up, rubbed his face, and said, "Greedy for wine, drink two more glasses, don't say that the wine in this Huajian Pavilion is really a bit top." ”
"Without further ado, what's going on with what you're doing?"
He took it out of his arms and took out a stack of papers, those papers were pasted with photos, stamped, and clearly written personal information such as the name and age of Sister Hua in the Flower Pavilion, and the word contract was written on the front page, although it was a contract, it was actually a deed of sale, and he carefully rummaged through it and did not find the deed of sale of the jewel.
He threw the pile of waste paper on the horse's legs: "You're in trouble!" ”
When Ma Er heard this, he was stunned, and stammered and asked, "What, what do you mean?" ”
Hu Muran said: "Let you check people, you steal such a bunch of useless things, it's useless to us, but it's a fatal thing for Sister Hua of Huajian Pavilion, if this thing is lost, they will definitely come to the police, do you say you're in trouble?" ”
Ma Er was so frightened that his legs were weak, and he almost fell off his seat, saying, "This ...... You asked me to find someone, I finally pried open the old lady's room, only to find these things, I saw the photos on it, I guess there is someone you are looking for, I stole it, this ...... You can't hand me over. ”
Hu Muran was originally scared of him, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Think about it again, is there anything suspicious." ”
Ma Er's eyes rolled: "By the way, there are a few wooden boxes piled up in that girl's house, I originally wanted to open them, but I couldn't figure out the structure of this lock structure for a while, so I had to give up." ”
"What do you think is in there?"
"The box is a little heavy, I think it's either soft with gold and silver, or something unsightly, and it smells a little stinky, a bit like ......"
"Like what?"
Ma Er thought about it cautiously: "In the past, I smoked a big cigarette from the owner of the owner who worked as a long-term worker, and it smelled a little similar to his body. ”
Lin Zichuan's guess was indeed not wrong, it was very likely that the Flower Pavilion was doing the business of selling big tobacco and selling secret prostitutes, but there was no physical evidence, and Ma Er's words alone would not have any effect at all, so he had to go back and discuss countermeasures with Lin Zichuan again.
The Flower Pavilion lost something, and it didn't seem to attract their attention until two days later, someone came to the police, and the person who called the police was the bookkeeper in charge of the Flower Pavilion, and he didn't see how anxious he was, but he only said that he had lost the contract of the flower sisters, and it was useless for the thief to take it, and he couldn't find it and let people re-register it.
The stolen items had been locked in Hu Muran's cabinet, and he repeatedly checked the registration information of these people, but found nothing suspicious.
Although the housekeeper was not in a hurry, Hu Muran was enthusiastic to go to the place where it was stolen to check, and sure enough, the owner of the courtyard had already emptied the wooden box described by Ma Er in the room, and there was no proof of his whereabouts.
The master of the courtyard called him this time, not as panicked as last time, obviously he had already taken care of everything, he was confident, and he calmly explained how he found that he had lost something.
Since everyone tacitly knew that Hu Muran simply made a risky move, there was no clue about Baozhu's disappearance, and many searches failed to find her whereabouts, Hu Muran published her photo in the newspaper, issued a search notice to the whole city, and then found some tabloid reporters, and with a slight wave of the pen, he pointed the spearhead of this matter at Huajian Pavilion.
The business of Huajian Pavilion is so good, it has long made several other shops doing the same business red, these people take advantage of the situation to splash dirty water together, and come to the well, Huajian Pavilion is unbearable to public opinion, so they have to come out to explain.
Lin Zichuan was a little dissatisfied with his approach, he felt that in this way, the treasure bead was likely to fall into a dangerous situation.
But Hu Muran didn't think so, he felt that Huajian Pavilion probably knew their suspicions a long time ago, if they really attacked people, it would be tantamount to not confessing to themselves, they themselves also knew that as long as they were honest, the police couldn't do anything about them, but if they weren't honest, they would definitely be beaten.
Facts have proved that Hu Muran does have his own merits, they found suspicious traces in a relatively hidden place, five or six girls of the same age were locked up in a small black room, and when they were rescued, they did not know what had happened, and they looked terrified.
The guards hurriedly fled when they saw that the situation was not good, the man was familiar with the terrain, and soon disappeared from their sight, Hu Muran ordered someone to let the dog chase him, and the dog quickly caught up with the person following the smell, Hu Muran also quickly caught up with it, the man fled to the bridge and saw that there was no way to escape, his expression was a little desperate, but what was unexpected was that he jumped off the bridge.
Under the bridge was a moat, and the river was so strong that it quickly submerged him.
The body was found by the person who was washing clothes in the next morning, it was already swollen, and he had the deed of sale of those girls in his pocket.
But he didn't see his son.
Lin Zichuan thought about it, this person jumped off the bridge, obviously rushing to die, his death may be to cover up something, or it may be to protect his son.
