I've been talking for a long time but I still haven't gotten to the point.
Si Lu asked him again, "Don't talk nonsense, I'll ask what that woman looks like!" Everything you wear can be changed.
"Yeah, big eyes, a pointed chin, and a high nose."
Si Lu was speechless. What was he saying was all nonsense. What was the difference between that and not saying anything?
"Come on, all of you follow me and lock the door."
Several people quickly locked the door and handed the key to Si Lu.
Si Lu took his men to the police station. Several people were so scared that they cried for their parents, fearing that Si Lu would send them to jail.
Si Lu made them behave themselves with just two words.
"If you go now, I'm not asking you to turn yourself in. I'm just asking you to report the case. Lei Zi's disappearance is a big deal. The woman who's looking for him might be a spy. If you don't go, you'll be an accomplice."
A spy will be shot if he is caught, but it is better to be a petty thief than to be shot!
The few people had no choice but to go to the police station to report the case as instructed by the lawyer.
The greasy man said that Lei Zi was their friend. Although they didn't get together often before, they would see each other once every ten days or half a month. This time, he hadn't seen him for nearly two months. His house was covered with dust. Something must have happened to him.
"How do you know there's dust in his house?"
The greasy man felt very guilty, but when he remembered what Si Lu had told him, he gritted his teeth and spoke out the answer he had prepared before.
"He used to go out often, and he would leave his keys in a place we all knew, so we would go check on him often. But this time it took too long, and we haven't seen him yet, so we got worried."
"Yep."
Others echoed this and the investigators also took it seriously.
"Besides, he was alone and had no enemies, so it's hard to say why he disappeared this time."
Seeing that the other party had no suspicion, the greasy man became bolder and said to the good man, "If you do a good job, I will give you money."
Fifty dollars is enough for them to spend for a month.
"What else is there? Please tell me once and for all."
The greasy man told what he saw that day, "The woman said Lei Zi was ungrateful, but Lei Zi said she was daydreaming, and the two had a fierce argument. You don't know, Lei Zi is a descendant of the Yangshi Lei family, maybe he has something that someone is eyeing..."
He made up his mind and risked his life, adding, "Maybe he was targeted by spies."
The greasy man looked around and whispered, "I heard that the people of Xiaozizi Country are very fond of the things left by our ancestors, and they can't wait to snatch them away for themselves, so maybe they are going for the Lei family's things."
There are few people who grew up in Beijing who don’t know the famous Lei family.
"Don't talk nonsense and affect the friendship between the two countries."
This was just talk on the surface. At that time, the Chinese people had a lot of hatred towards Xiao Rizu, so the case officer who received him immediately reported the situation to his superiors.
"Oh, spies are causing chaos in the capital? Are you sure?"
The investigator shook his head and said, "We can't be sure, but it's suspicious that the missing person is a descendant of the Lei family, and maybe he has something they want."
He knew very well how obsessed those young people were with Chinese culture. They would actually do things like infiltration for the sake of some traditional culture and traditional crafts.
"Open a case immediately and investigate Lei Zi's disappearance. Search the entire city for suspicious persons, monitor outsiders, and set up surveillance at bus stations, train stations and other places with large population flows."
"Yes……"
Greasy man...
Oh, no, he has a name, Guo Xianda.
When Guo Xianda walked out of the police station, he was still in a state of confusion. He went to the countryside at the age of eighteen and wasted six or seven years there. When he returned to the city, he was already twenty-four or twenty-five years old and had accomplished nothing.
He lived a life of stealing and cheating every day. Not only did his neighbors dislike him, but even his family members disliked him. They wished he would die in the street and have nothing to do with his family in the future.
Today, the comrades in charge of the case at the police station actually thanked him, praised him, and said that he has a pair of sharp eyes!
Guo Xianda had calmed down by now, and he was much calmer when talking to Si Lu.
"The colleagues in charge of the case have already filed a case. They will find Lei Zi's whereabouts as soon as possible and will also issue a wanted notice for that woman."
Si Lu nodded, "You did a good job, you can leave now. I won't pursue the matter of entering Lei Zi's house without permission."
Several people left happily, only Guo Xianda hesitated and did not leave.
"Why don't you leave and wait for me to treat you to a meal?"
Guo Xianda had an inexplicable fear of his boss Lu, but he felt that he could not leave, as if if he left, he would miss the most important thing in his life.
"I, I don't want you to treat me to a meal, I'm not hungry..."
Gollum~
As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Xianda's stomach started growling!
Gulu~Gulu~
His stomach growled one after another, as if protesting against his owner who lied to save face.
Guo Xianda was extremely embarrassed. He really didn't do this for a meal! This time he was really embarrassed.
"Let's go!"
Si Lu walked in front. Guo Xianda thought about it and decided to resign himself to following. No matter what the hero thought of him, he wanted to give it a try.
Many years later, whenever Guo Xianda thought of the day that changed his life, he couldn't help but burst into tears.
Lawyer Si invited Guo Xianda to a meal, but the food was not very good, just a few steamed buns, a bowl of vegetarian soup, and a plate of stewed old tofu.
Si Lu didn't eat a single bite. Guo Xianda gobbled up all the food like a whirlwind, as if he hadn't eaten for three days and three nights.
After swallowing the last bite of rice, Guo Xianda almost choked to death. He quickly picked up the cup and took a big gulp of water. Only then did he feel like he was alive again.
"I am full."
Si Lu chuckled, "How many days have you been hungry?"
"I can't remember clearly. I was hungry one day and full the next. Sometimes I could only eat two or three bites." Guo Xianda smiled embarrassedly. "I have been in the countryside for so many years. Although I have returned to the city, I have not found a job..."
He didn't continue talking, but there was a bitter smile on his face. That bitter smile reflected his impoverished situation and also his last bit of dignity.
Si Lu probably understood why he stayed while everyone else left.
"You want to follow me?"
Guo Xianda was not as straightforward as Si Lu and saw through him at once.
He was slightly embarrassed, but soon nodded heavily, "Can I, can I follow you? Oh, I can endure hardships and do anything."
Si Lu sneered, "Follow me, you don't even know who I am, but you want to follow me. Aren't you afraid that I'm a bad guy and want to take your life?"
"No. You are not a bad person. Although we don't know much about Lei Zi, we know that he is a loyal person. You can be friends with him and help him. Even if he is a bad person, he is not that bad."
