Chapter 34 Unlock

"Hey, Lao Liu, it's time to walk the birds again." The peddler at the side said to the old man who was picking things in front of him.

Uncle Liu replied with a smile: "I have been in poor health for the past few days. I have been staying at home. I am not suffocated. I almost suffocated the birds. I yelled 'I want to go out to play' and 'I want to go out to play' all day long." Son'."

Uncle Liu looked at the jewelry on the booth, picked up an emerald jade ring, dangled it in front of myna twice and asked, "Oh, little beast, how about giving this to your mother?"

The little beast fluttered its wings and shouted hoarsely: "It's not good-looking! It's not good-looking!"

Uncle Liu had no choice but to put down the jade ring in his hand and picked a few more, but the flat-haired beast seemed to be targeting Uncle Liu, and none of them said it was good-looking. Shouted: "Old Liu, wait, what do you think of this one?"

Before Uncle Liu could reply, the starling in the cage hurriedly shouted: "It looks good! It looks good!"

Uncle Liu looked at the piece of jewelry and nodded with satisfaction, paid the money and walked forward.

Not far away, I saw a group of people on the street discussing something around a wooden board. They lowered their heads and said to the little starling, "Little bastard, let's go and join in the fun with dad."

Uncle Liu walked to the back of the crowd, coughed lightly, and squeezed in with the birdcage, regardless of what the people around him said.

Look at the piece of paper pasted on this wooden board. There is a black-and-white photo on the paper. The woman on it is wearing a cheongsam, and she looks really good.

Uncle Liu saw that the woman in the photo looked familiar, so he quickly took out a reading glasses from his pocket, put his face close to the paper, pointed to the words on it with his rough fingers and said: "This woman used to be a female branch in the Zuixiangyuan Female, fleeing because of a crime, the Patrol Bureau specially approved this order, offering a reward of 200 oceans to anyone who can provide information, and a reward of 800 oceans to anyone who knows her whereabouts!"

800 oceans!That adds up to 1000 oceans!

Uncle Liu's eyes were full of money, and after carefully looking at the woman in the photo, he was sure that he really knew her. He was ecstatic in his heart that he was going to get a windfall, so he took off the notice and put it in his pocket.

Someone who knew Uncle Liu hurriedly tried to dissuade him: "Master, this is a reward order from the Patrol Bureau, this thing cannot be revealed casually."

Uncle Liu waved his hands indifferently, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, although I am old, I am not so confused. I only revealed it because I knew it was a reward order from the Patrol Bureau." Liu The uncle didn't explain anything after finishing speaking, so he walked home leisurely with the bird in his hand.

Seeing that the paper had been taken away, the crowd of onlookers dispersed in boredom.

After Uncle Liu arrived home, he shouted excitedly into the room: "Daughter-in-law, it's time to send! Hahahaha, 1000 oceans!"

The woman in the room heard the shout and hurried out and shouted: "What's wrong with you, you asked you to walk a bird and something went wrong?"

"Hahaha, daughter-in-law, don't worry, look at this first." Uncle Liu took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it to the old woman, "Do you see the woman on it familiar?"

The old woman leaned closer to identify it for a while, then said uncertainly: "Miao Shanger?"

"You're looking at the words next to it." Uncle Liu said, pointing to the words on the side.

The old woman scanned her eyes carefully over and over again, and her originally stern face suddenly became joyful, and she excitedly held the paper in her hand and said, "Old Liu, we are really going to post this time hahaha."

Seeing this, Uncle Liu hurriedly urged: "Then why are you still standing there? Hurry up and take this paper to the police station to get the money!"

"Oh~ yes, yes, wait for me, I'll change clothes and leave."

"Have you found anything recently?" Zhong Chengyi asked while sitting on the sofa.

Zhang San shook his head and said: "There is no news after the reward order was issued."

He looked at Zhong Chengyi's back worriedly and said, "Master, why don't you go home and rest for a few days, and I'll let you know if something happens."

Zhong Chengyi frowned slightly, and said, "No need, it's almost done."

At this time, a small patrolman opened the door and entered and said: "Master, third brother, there is an old couple behind who said they could provide information about Miao Shang'er."

Zhang San turned to look at Zhong Chengyi and said, "Let them wait for us in the interrogation room."

"Okay, third brother."

. . .

The old woman sat on a chair in the middle of the interrogation room, and said first: "Master, the bounty written on the notice outside... What is 200 oceans, 800 oceans, yes... is it true?"

Zhang San saw that the two of them should have come here for the bounty, and he wasn't sure if there were any clues, but he reached out patiently: "Yes, old lady, as long as you provide favorable clues, we will have a reward. "

The old lady and Uncle Liu looked at each other for a while, and then said in a relieved voice: "My real name is Xichunlai, and I opened a women's branch on Beinan Road more than ten years ago, called Goulanyuan. The old man is not in good health, and I am getting old, and the business of this hospital is not good, so it was closed."

"I saw Miao Shang'er at that time, she was only eight years old, but she was already very beautiful, but I was not a trafficker, I was in a serious business, police officer, don't get me wrong." Xi Chunlai quickly shook his head and explained road.

"At that time, a man brought her here. He said that she was the father of Miao Shang'er. Because the family was poor and had many children, he couldn't afford to support her. He just wanted to sell her to me to make a living. I see her She was dressed in tatters, her face was thin, and she didn’t speak, so I believed it and bought it.”

"Who is that man?" Zhang San asked, frowning.

Zhong Chengyi took out a photo from a case file, held it up in front of Xi Chunlai and asked, "Is that him?"

Xi Chunlai took the photo, identified it for a while and said: "Yes, that's him, but at that time he was younger than the face in this photo, but his appearance has not changed."

really!No wonder Miao Shang'er hated Chen Liangshan so much.

"You continue." Zhong Chengyi said after taking back the photo.

"Oh, good police officer, not long after this girl suddenly went crazy, smashed everything in our house, and bit my hand, look, I still have tooth marks on my tiger's mouth, which haven't disappeared after so many years. In order to prove the authenticity of what he said, Xi Chunlai showed Zhang San his palm.

Zhang San glanced at the scar. Although new flesh had grown out, it was still incompatible with the skin on the side. He could see the traces of injury, so he nodded.

"I don't know that she ran away that time, and after we captured her, someone came to buy her not long after. I remember that person was the housekeeper of the Cheng family, and said that he came here to flatter the second young master's order."

"Cheng Yue'an!" Zhang San stood up suddenly.

Zhong Chengyi frowned.

"Yes, the butler gave me 200 oceans and took him away."

. . .

"General, are we going to arrest the Cheng family now?" Zhang San asked.

Zhong Chengyi reassured him: "Let's go now. It is estimated that Miao Shang'er is not in the Cheng family now. Although it was true that Cheng Yue'an bought Miao Shang'er back then, there is no evidence that Cheng Yue'an participated in the sale of opium."

"Zhang San, go and investigate the Cheng family's financial bills for the past six years. There must be something wrong with it."

"Okay, general." Zhang San turned around and left after answering.

Zhong Chengyi picked up the cigarette case, originally wanting to smoke one to satisfy his craving, but then thought of going home later, so he put the cigarette case back into his pocket.

--------

"Young master, young master, I'm being watched by the police officers, what should I do young master, please save Shang'er." Miao Shang'er tightly gripped Cheng Yuean's cuff, his fingertips turned white.

Cheng Yuean teased the canary in the cage calmly, and said in a cheerful voice: "Shanger, do you think this bird is beautiful? If you like it, I will give it to you, okay?"

Miao Shang'er looked up at the little bird in the cage, and was amused by a small branch in the man's hand, jumping up and down, screaming "twitter".

Cheng Yue'an teased for a while and felt a little bored, so he threw the twig in his hand aside, wiped his white and slender fingers with the handkerchief in his bosom as if disgusted, and then gave the handkerchief that had been wiped away The maidservant at the side said, "Send you off."

The servant girl was a little ecstatic, and hurriedly thumped it into her pocket and said, "Thank you, young master."

Cheng Yue'an took Miao Shang'er's slightly cold palm, pulled her to the stone table aside, poured a cup of tea for her and comforted her: "Shang'er, don't worry, why did such a small matter get messed up?" What? Didn’t you do a good job before, it’s okay, be good, come drink this cup of tea and calm down.”

Miao Shanger stared blankly at the tea in the teacup in front of him, stretched out his hand and drank it down.

Seeing that the person obediently obeyed, Cheng Yuean raised the corners of his mouth, and kissed Miao Shang'er's red lips to express his encouragement: "You are so good, this is my Shang'er. Did you drink all the tea I gave you last time?" Is it over?"

Miao Shang'er turned his head and nodded to that handsome face, then smiled again.

Cheng Yuean took an exquisite wooden box from the plate carried by the maid, with hollow patterns carved on it, and the opening in the middle was made of jadeite, took Miao Shang'er's hand, and put the wooden box on top , leaning into her ear and said: "Shang'er, you have to remember that your life is mine."

Miao Shang'er looked at the exquisite wooden box in his hand, and repeated in a daze: "My life belongs to the young master..."

"Yes, your life is mine. As long as I die, you will die too."

Cheng Yue'an's tone became colder, but Miao Shang'er didn't notice it, and obediently repeated every word, "My life belongs to the young master, as long as the young master dies, so will I."

"As long as the young master dies, so will I..."

Cheng Yuean was very happy to hear Miao Shanger repeating each sentence, a smile appeared on his originally sinister face, he got up and said to Xiao Si beside him: "Ms. Miao must be sent home safely, there must be no Any mistakes, otherwise..."

Although Cheng Yue'an didn't finish the second half of the sentence, it still left Xiao Si beside him in a cold sweat, and responded with pale lips: "Yes, young master, there must be no mistakes."

"Then go." As he spoke, Cheng Yuean took out a few yuan from his pocket and put it in Xiao Si's pocket, and said with a smile, "This is for you, keep it well."

"Thank you, master."

"Go, be careful on the road..."

After Cheng Yue'an watched the people leave, he turned around and broke off a twig beside him to tease the canary in the cage.
