All the dried fish in the empire belong to Princess Elvis

Chapter 114

If I had known earlier, An Sheng's life would not be too long.

Even in Xia Mu's dreams, she occasionally dreamed that His Majesty scolded her for breaking her promise.

Now that she suddenly heard this sentence, she was so guilty that she was tongue-tied. She was stunned for a long time before shouting sharply: "Who are you! Where is my father! You let him talk to me!"

There was no response from the other side.

Xia Mu took down the phone and took a look, only to find that the call had been disconnected.

Her hands were shaking, and she couldn't wait to dial back, but the number was already turned off.

My head was empty for a second, and the place of ownership displayed by the number is the local area!

She suddenly seemed to be injected with stimulants, climbed upstairs in three steps and two steps, turned on the computer, and inquired about all relevant information about the number.

She actually found a piece of valuable news—it was a job application resume on the same city website.

Fortunately, under that resume, there is another landline number.

She stood up awkwardly, read the landline number several times, and dialed it after checking.

Xia Duoduo was frightened by her appearance, and kept asking questions, but she couldn't hear clearly.

"beep--"

"beep--"

In addition to the phone ringing, there is only excited buzzing in my ears.

When she thought the phone was about to hang up automatically, the other party actually connected!

"Hello...who is it?"

It was a hoarse male voice, hoarse and confused, half asleep.

The voice is not the same as that person just now.

Xia Mu reported the number he just called, and asked him, "Excuse me, is this your mobile phone number?"

"No, who are you? Did you dial the wrong number?" Suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, the person opposite was a little annoyed, just about to complain and hang up the phone, suddenly remembered something, and said urgently: "No... this is not Ah Chen's number? What's going on? What's wrong with my son?"

Xia Mu frowned, and patiently asked him about his situation, only to learn that his son had gone out to have a barbecue with his friends, and hadn't returned home yet.

"Do you know where he eats barbecue?"

The other party was a little vigilant: "Who are you? Why are you looking for him so late? Why don't you just call him and ask him?"

Xia Mu paused for two seconds, thinking that he couldn't make it clear for a while, so it's better to trick the person over first, and then replied: "I found a mobile phone with your number in it, but his phone is in arrears and can't make calls." , if he is nearby, let him come and get it."

The attitude on the other side immediately improved: "Oh! Oh! I'm so sorry for you. You see, this kid is forgetful! Oh, look at this... I don't know who he went out with today, and he can't get in touch without a mobile phone. Make an appointment tomorrow, and I'll ask him to pick it up from you, is it convenient?"

Xia Muqiang answered calmly: "I'm going on a business trip tomorrow, do you know where he eats barbecue? If it's not far away, I'll send it to him."

The man was very grateful and gave her an address.

Xia Mu's heart tightened, the address turned out to be the barbecue restaurant at the gate of her community!

After hanging up the phone, she got up in a daze.

Xia Duoduo looked at her in surprise: "Sister, whose phone did you pick up?"

"You stay at home and wait for me." Xia Mu said a few words, ran downstairs, grabbed the coat on the sofa, put on his upper body, and ran out the door.

This was the first clue person she caught, no matter what, she couldn't give him a chance to escape.

But if the other party is really a suspect, there are likely to be a bunch of helpers around.

Xia Mu's heart beat faster, and she knew that this was not something she could handle alone, but she just wanted to lock down the criminals first, not caring about her own safety.

If she didn't take this step, she would almost lose sight of her father's back.

Ao Gu was kidnapped by them to the boat, but she is an engineering student after all and has no experience in criminal investigation. Xia Mu felt that if she had been kidnapped herself, she would be able to find some clues.

Even with the determination to throw herself into the net and burn everything together, she can't let go.

Before running out of the community, she dialed the phone to Duan Zitong, and she connected quickly——

"Xia Mu? Haven't slept yet? Your aunt hasn't checked out the problem yet. When it's over, I'll send them off..."

"Juanjuan!" Xia Mu interrupted Duan Zitong: "The person who took my dad just called! I locked his location! There is only one barbecue restaurant facing south at the entrance of the community. It’s easy to find! Come over as soon as possible to meet them, and I’ll stabilize them first!”

"What?" Juanjuan's voice on the other end was raised three degrees: "Don't mess around, stay at home and don't go out, wait for me to pass!"

"Understood." Xia Mu agreed, but the speed did not slow down at all.

She couldn't wait for a second, fearing that if she missed any opportunity, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

The storefront of the barbecue restaurant is only sixty to seventy square meters, and there are outdoor seats outside the store, which are brightly lit.

Crowds of people gathered around the open-air tables, eating kebabs, chatting and drinking beer.

This is the only lively scene on the side of the road late at night.

Xia Mu didn't relax his vigilance, and approached the barbecue shop step by step in a roundabout way under the cover of the vehicles parked on the side of the road.

He ran to the door of a black car closest to the store and squatted down, scanned every face on the barbecue stall with his probe, and then looked at the nearby parking spot.

Didn't find the off-road vehicle with the big wheels.

There were three or five guests at the two tables outside. If she got up and left at the same time, she would not be able to stop a group of people at the same time. She could only choose the smaller target first.

She was thinking about how to make a move when a young man stood up in a panic at one of the tables and touched his pocket.

There were noises from the crowd, and Xia Mu couldn't hear what they were talking about, but he saw the man get up and pull out the chair, looking for something on and off the table.

Xia Mu's heart sank.

I suspect that the man is the owner of the mobile phone. His look and behavior clearly indicate that he has lost something, most likely it is the mobile phone.

So it wasn't him who made the call.

The person who called her should be near the community, so he just picked up a mobile phone...

and many more……

A thought flashed through her mind - that person must be nearby!

The moment she realized the danger, her scalp exploded, she turned around and pressed her back against the car door, looking behind nervously!

Maybe it was to lure her out of the house.

Xia Mu thought to himself.

She may have fallen into the other party's surveillance range, or worse, like her father, into the sniper range.

With this thought in mind, Xia Mu touched her side with shaking hands. She didn't have a gun.

After a brief hesitation, she suddenly squatted down on the ground, rolled under the car, and tried her best to cover her body.

The group of people in the shop not far away seemed to have a conflict with the boss, and their voices became louder.

Xia Mu heard clearly——

"It was lost in your store! You are not responsible, who am I looking for?"

"How much is your free bill worth? I just bought my mobile phone last month! It's a new model worth more than 6000!"

Although it was some unreasonable disputes, Xia Mu felt at ease, and the noisy voices made her feel that she was not fighting alone.

Time passed by every minute and every second, there was nothing unusual around, but the man who lost his mobile phone not far away was about to leave cursingly after the shopkeeper repeatedly apologized.

Can't let him go.

Xia Mu hesitated for a while, then scanned the surroundings again, then turned over and rolled out of the car, stood up neatly, and walked quickly behind the group of people.

"Please wait a moment." Xia Mu called out to the group of people, "Did you lose your phone?"

Hearing this, the man turned around in surprise, thinking that he was picked up by a kind person: "Yes! Yes!"

Xia Mu stepped forward: "I'm the police, please cooperate, think about the appearance and characteristics of the person who has just approached you, and we will try our best to help you find your phone."

The man was disappointed when he heard the words. He stared at Xia Mu's small body and asked suspiciously: "The police? I didn't call the police. How did you suddenly find out that I lost my phone in the middle of the night?"

"I just passed by and heard your dispute." Xia Mu said righteously: "The thief may still be committing crimes nearby, don't waste time, can you recall who you just met?"

The man took a break and waved his hand impatiently: "I stole it all, where can I find it? I have been eating barbecue just now, and I didn't see anyone. I admit it. Thank you, beauty, bye."

"Please cooperate with the investigation!" Xia Mu hurriedly followed.

The man turned his head suspiciously: "I lost my phone, why are you so anxious? Something is wrong with you, miss."

Xia Mu said anxiously: "It may be a thief who commits crimes nearby, please..."

"I still have something to do." The man was slightly drunk, rubbing his red eyes: "You can ask someone else, if you find it, it's convenient to contact my home phone number, please write it down Comrade police, 77036..."

Xia Mu frowned and interrupted: "If you want to get your phone back, you have to cooperate with the investigation."

The man curled his lips, he didn't have any hope in his heart, and he was quite reluctant, with a hesitant look.

A few buddies on the side put their arms around his shoulders: "Come on, brother Chen! I stole it all, where can I find it? I will buy a new one later, remember to stop the machine first to protect the account number."

The man snorted twice, stopped talking to Xia Mu, turned around and walked away with his brothers.

Xia Mu caught up again. She didn't want to force him to cooperate, but the other party didn't make it.

"Please wait."

"What do you want to do?" The group of people finally became suspicious. How can there be such a policeman who actively fights crime?

"It's not a new type of fraud, is it?"

A man raised his finger to Xia Mu: "Don't follow us, I warn you, you guys are not something you can afford!"

After speaking, the man stretched out his hand and pushed her shoulder as if in a demonstration.

Xia Mu nimbly dodged it sideways, grabbed his wrist, flipped it over, and said threateningly: "I am really a policeman, this suspect is involved in other cases, please cooperate with me, and recall who passed by just now , stop dawdling."

The man who lost the cell phone frowned. He was already angry. He clenched his fists and rushed forward, yelling, "I lost the cell phone. It's none of your business! Why do you force me to cooperate with the investigation!"

Xia Mu looked at him vigilantly: "Please calm down."

The man raised his hand to push her because he was drunk, Xia Mu pushed the person in front of him away, leaned sideways, walked around behind the man, clenched his fists, and hit his waist hard with the knuckles of his middle finger.

Before the man could groan in pain, his back knees went limp, and he was pressed to the ground by the arm of the seemingly delicate and weak policewoman behind him, and he immediately yelled for help.

"Fuck!" The man struggled, but his arms were tightened by Xia Mu. He shouted angrily, "Which police station are you from! What's the number! I want to file a complaint against you!"

Just as Xia Mu was about to speak, there was a crisp "crack" not far away, like the sound of metal rubbing against each other.

That was the sound made when the dragon wings were retracted.

"Juanjuan?" Xia Mu looked up.

His Royal Highness Eggroll fantasized about Xia Mu being bullied by a group of criminals all the way. After landing, he pushed away the crowd in a panic, but what he saw was this scene——

A burly man was pinned to the ground with his arms twisted by the stupid cat, his knees on his back, and his profile was squeezed out of shape...

Cats are the scariest creatures in the world.

The man's brothers were about to swarm up and restrain Xia Mu, but now they saw a helper and immediately shifted their target. Just as they were about to make a move, they saw Duan Zitong squinting his eyes...

Everyone was immediately quiet as chickens.

I don't know what kind of species this curly-haired girl is. An instinctive sense of fear seems to have been carved into their genes in ancient times.

Because Dihera in ancient times seldom fed small orcs, among them, the small orcs at the bottom of the food chain did not have this kind of instinctive fear. Looking at the shrinking elders around them, they wondered: How could they be killed by a dozen orcs? Curly-haired kid shrinking back?

Seeing that the situation was wrong, the man who was pressed down by Xia Mu immediately changed his attitude and expressed his willingness to cooperate.

A few people sat down by the barbecue stall, and cooperated with Xia Mu's inquiry, carefully recalling the people they met just now.

The man whose phone was stolen didn't actually meet the suspect face to face, but a person sitting at the opposite table had some impressions.

"It's a tall man," he recalled carefully, frowning. "He stretched out his hand from Ah Chen's side to our table, saying he was borrowing a roll of paper."

"Brown hair, with a clean face, in his 30s, right?"

"Not a suit, a gray jacket."

"Yes, he is the only one who has touched our table."

Others can't ask any valuable information.

Xia Mu asked the shopkeeper about the surrounding surveillance, but the shopkeeper regretfully said no.

After all the tossing, it was already 02:30 in the middle of the night.

Xia Mu looked up at the scroll: "We are being watched by those people."

It was too late, Juan Juan didn't intend to pursue it immediately, seeing her nervous expression, he could only ask patiently: "What did he say to you on the phone?"

Xia Mu's eyes flickered slightly, and he replied tremblingly, "He asked me to leave you."

"What?" Juanjuan raised his eyebrows, not expecting that he would be implicated as well.

Xia Mu hesitated and said, "There was someone who said this to me several times before."

Juanjuan looked at her in surprise: "Who? Your mother?"
