Chapter 198 The Detective's Tale of 5 Million?
"Host... um... isn't it pointless to bring up this old grudge?"
"Last time you said you needed 1000 energy points, but you deducted the 59 points I had saved. I didn't complain then. If you don't make it up to me this time, I'll sing 'Eighteen Touches' every time you issue a task."
The boy said weakly, "Fine, fine, take it all. It's just a person and a dog, why are you being so persistent?"
Just then, there was a knock on the door: "Brother Weiguo, Brother Weiguo, are you asleep?"
Zhou Weiguo opened the door and saw Lou Xiao'e smiling: "Brother Weiguo, my father invites you over for a chat."
He followed Lou Xiao'e to the next room. Lou Zhenhua saw Zhou Weiguo and greeted him with a kind smile: "Weiguo, are you settling in well on the ship? No seasickness, are you?"
Zhou Weiguo shook his head: "No, I'm fine, thank you for your concern, Uncle Lou."
Lou Zhenhua asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why did you suddenly decide to come to Hong Kong? What happened?"
Zhou Weiguo explained helplessly that he had finished talking to Natasha about going abroad the day before yesterday, and then met with Elder Long and Elder Qin the next day. Before leaving, Elder Qin asked him to take the Lou family with him on the way, and even arranged for a plane to take them to the military airport. Everyone traveled overnight before boarding the ship.
Zhou Weiguo smiled and reassured him, "Uncle Lou, I have a mission this time, don't worry about me. We'll go our separate ways after we disembark."
A glint of light flashed in Lou Zhenhua's eyes, but he simply nodded and didn't ask any more questions.
Lou Xiao'e looked reluctant and was about to speak when Lou Tanshi gently pulled her back.
Afterwards, Zhou Weiguo chatted with Lou Zhenhua for a few minutes before taking his leave.
As they returned to their room, Lou Xiao'e followed them in with her head down: "Brother Weiguo, I have family members in Hong Kong. If you ever need any help, please, please come find me."
Zhou Weiguo smiled and stroked her long hair. Seeing her blushing, he said softly, "Don't worry, now that you're out here, just get used to it. Don't worry, once I'm done with my work, if you still want to come back to China with me, I'll definitely take you with me."
Not long after Lou Xiao'e left, there was another knock on the door. Zhou Weiguo opened the door, and there was the person who had escorted him all the way. The person said a few words, handed him a backpack, and then left.
Zhou Weiguo opened his backpack, inside which were two sets of Hong Kong-style clothes that were extremely fashionable compared to those on the mainland, a business card, a stack of banknotes, and at the bottom, a Black Star pistol, two magazines, and some other miscellaneous items.
With the sound of a ship's horn, the cargo ship docked.
As Zhou Weiguo passed by the Lou family, Lou Xiao'e did not react at all. This made Zhou Weiguo give himself a thumbs up for his disguise and body control skills. The reason was simple: he was now about 5 centimeters taller than before, and his face was more resolute. He estimated that even Natasha would not recognize him.
He was the first to disembark, walk out of the harbor, and wander around the roadside for a while before opening the door of a car, getting in, and casually handing over his business card.
The man took the business card, glanced at it, and then asked respectfully in his somewhat broken Mandarin, "Hello sir! Mr. Huo sent me to pick you up. Please have a seat; we'll be there soon."
After a while, the car stopped in front of a villa, and Zhou Weiguo was led to the reception room by a man who looked like a butler.
Looking at the young Mr. Huo in front of him, Zhou Weiguo couldn't help but sigh inwardly: The young Mr. Huo is really dashing, but the Huo family doesn't seem too extravagant at this time. Perhaps Mr. Huo hasn't fully made his fortune yet.
While Zhou Weiguo was sizing up Mr. Huo, Mr. Huo was also sizing him up.
Mr. Huo first exchanged a few pleasantries with him in somewhat broken Mandarin, which Zhou Weiguo found quite difficult to understand. Fortunately, they were still able to communicate, so he got straight to the point: "Mr. Huo, where is that shipment now? Who are the people being detained? What is their current situation?"
"The one being detained is my younger brother. The cargo ship is in Stonecutters Island. It's a remote deep-water port. We've been using it to transport goods to the mainland for the past few years. I have connections with the customs there, and we've never had any problems in the past few years."
Before Zhou Weiguo could speak, Mr. Huo continued, "But this time, it wasn't customs officials who detained the cargo ship, it was the police. Oh, by the way, the police in Hong Kong are the same as the public security officers in mainland China."
Zhou Weiguo was taken aback and asked with a curious look, "Mr. Huo, would the police handle this kind of thing? That doesn't seem right, does it?"
Mr. Huo nodded with a puzzled look and said, "Yes, I was also very confused about this at first. In the end, I had no choice but to ask around and find out that it was a detective named Yan Tong who arranged this operation. He even borrowed several speedboats from the marine police for it. By the way, I also sent someone to contact the foreigners in their police force. I was thinking of spending more money to resolve this matter, but as soon as they heard it was about this, they stopped responding. In the end, Yan Tong had someone pass on a message to me, telling me to contact the real cargo owner and talk to him. I really had no other choice, so I contacted people in China."
"Yan Tong?" Zhou Weiguo's heart skipped a beat, instantly reminding him of "Detective Lei Luo, the Five Hundred Million Dollar Inspector!"
Thinking of this, he suddenly became interested. "Mr. Huo, would you please arrange for someone to take me to Yan Tong's house? I want to have a good talk with him tonight."
Mr. Fok looked surprised: "Mr. Zhou, you may not know, but Hong Kong police officers are the most difficult to deal with. It's very different from the mainland..."
Zhou Weiguo waved his hand: "Don't worry, just arrange for someone to take me to Yan Tong's neighborhood. Oh, and could you also please tell me the exact location and ship number of our cargo ship?"
................
At 9 p.m. that evening, Zhou Weiguo arrived at Causeway Bay, which would later become famous. However, the scene before him greatly disappointed him. At this time, Causeway Bay was not even as prosperous as the county town of later generations. There were only a few small restaurants, warehouses and sugar factories scattered on the streets, and it looked extremely desolate.
He stood in front of a dilapidated two-story building, wondering to himself.
As a senior detective, Yan Tong's wealth accumulated over the years should not be exchanged for such a shabby residence.
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention, Zhou Weiguo activated his stealth mode and quietly sneaked into the house.
However, he searched the entire house thoroughly but couldn't find a single person.
After waiting anxiously for a long time without seeing Yan Tong return, Zhou Weiguo had no choice but to decide to go out for a meal.
As soon as he stepped out of the courtyard, he noticed the roast meat shop across the street.
The tables and chairs placed at the entrance of the shop are in an excellent position, offering a perfect view of Yan Tong's courtyard gate.
Zhou Weiguo simply sat down, ordered a plate of char siu rice and a bottle of Yuquan soda, and prepared to eat while waiting.
Just as we were eating, an exaggerated exclamation suddenly rang out: "Hey bro, look! There's a gorgeous girl over there, absolutely stunning!"
Zhou Weiguo subconsciously looked up and saw three thugs wearing plaid shirts, behaving in a sleazy manner and looking at him with flirtatious eyes.
The three walked straight into the roast meat shop's food stall. One of the thugs, seeing that Zhou Weiguo dared to look them in the eye, overturned the table in front of him without saying a word.
"You damn bastard!"
"What are you eating, char siu! Are you eating shit?!"
P.S.: Please urge me to update more and give me good reviews. Thank you!
