Chapter 124: The Edge of Danger
Zhang Nianzu, Asan and Asi were eagerly waiting for the "little goblin with an internet celebrity face" for the whole morning. The car had been modified to this extent, and they all wanted to see how fancy the person would look. Even Lei Tingting was looking forward to it.
In the end, the little goblin didn't come, but the police officer Gao came.
"Is the car repaired?" Officer Gao asked as soon as he saw Zhang Nianzu.
"It's fixed." Zhang Nianzu handed over the car keys.
"Nice!" Officer Gao praised, took out the money to pay the bill, and said, "Give me an invoice."
When Zhang Nianzu was writing the invoice, Officer Gao suddenly spotted the rabbit spirit and couldn't help but circle the car twice.
"This is not our car." Zhang Nianzu explained hurriedly. He handed the invoice to Officer Gao and said, "Save your life, Officer."
"I'm not leaving for now." Officer Gao took out a stack of A4 paper and said, "I heard there are several auto repair shops on this street. Could you please distribute these flyers?"
Zhang Nianzu took the flyer and looked at it. There was a black SUV on it with a license plate from a neighboring province. The following lines introduced the situation. This car was the vehicle used by the fugitive that Captain Peng wanted to arrest. It came from Yunnan and the license plate had been changed in various ways. The purpose of distributing the flyers was to make all auto repair shops in the city pay more attention. If there were similar cars that required painting or modification, they must contact the police.
Li Changgui couldn't help asking, "What bad things did this fugitive do?"
Officer Gao said, "The drug lord brought a truckload of drugs from Yunnan. It's all in this car. It's conservatively estimated to be 500 kilograms."
Everyone was shocked. In the mainland, all news related to drugs is usually about a certain number of grams. Half a ton of drugs is really shocking. Zhang Nianzu also understood why Officer Gao was circling around the rabbit spirit. He knew that was not what he was looking for, but he still had to verify it when he saw a modified car. This is an occupational disease.
Ah San studied the photo on the paper and said, "Don't worry. If he dares to come to our place to repair his car, we will definitely tie him up and send him to the police station. You can be a hero at the same time."
Officer Gao said seriously, "Don't joke about this. The Jia Ba we want to catch is extremely cruel and cunning, otherwise Captain Peng wouldn't have been chasing him all the way without success. I heard that Captain Peng is a well-known and feared person among drug dealers in Yunnan. Jia Ba is the first one to escape from under his nose."
Li Changgui came over immediately when he saw there was a story to be told. He handed Officer Gao a cigarette and asked, "What's your name, officer?"
"My last name is Gao."
"So easy to remember." It's rare to have someone who is tall and has the last name Gao. This is a blessing for people with face blindness and poor memory.
"What?"
"Oh it's ok, I was just talking to myself."
Officer Gao lit up a cigarette, and seeing that Li Changgui had one in his mouth, he lit it for him. Li Changgui waved his hand and said, "I've quit. So, Captain Peng and Jia Ba have met?"
Officer Gao nodded: "It can be said that these two people still have a grudge. One of Captain Peng's comrades died because of Jia Ba."
Zhang Nianzu said: "Why did Jia Ba run to the inland instead of hiding ?" Yunnan is a remote place and borders foreign countries. There are many reasons why it has always been a drug-stricken area. The chance of being caught if he flees to the inland is definitely more than ten times higher. Why would Jia Ba fall into the trap?
Officer Gao said, "This kind of person would rather die than live for money. Besides, who knows what he did to die? We are just sitting there waiting for disaster to come. After the city leaders learned about this, they asked us to fully cooperate with Captain Peng's actions. Catching Jia Ba is secondary. The most important thing is not to let the things in his car flow into the public. Those are high-purity drugs. After dilution and processing, they may become several tons!"
Li Changgui said: "Then your task is heavy enough."
Officer Gao smiled bitterly and said, "Didn't you see that a deputy captain like me has come out to hand out flyers? In the next few days, all the police forces in the city will focus on this case - don't just talk, don't forget the favor I entrusted to you."
"Easy." Zhang Nianzu grabbed his enamel pot and knocked it with a screwdriver.
Ding ding ding——
Several other young men from the repair shops came rushing over.
Zhang Nianzu handed them the flyers and said, "Read them carefully and take it as a serious matter."
The young men were talking about it a lot. Their spare time was too dull and boring. A mere leaflet was exciting and novel for them. They suddenly felt like they were standing on the front line of drug control.
Someone asked Officer Gao: “Can we post on WeChat Moments?” He added: “Most of our friends are also in this business.”
Officer Gao thought for a moment and said, "Send it, but you must add this sentence: the criminals are extremely cruel, and you must call the police first if you find any suspects."
The young men responded and then dispersed.
Officer Gao said: "It has a strong appeal."
Zhang Nianzu smiled and said, "We are their technical consultants, equivalent to experienced programmers among code farmers."
At this time, Li Changgui asked again: "Did the man you arrested yesterday say anything?"
Officer Gao said, "He really doesn't know anything. It seems that Jia Ba brought him out just to have a scapegoat and a smokescreen." He looked at Li Changgui and said, "You seem to be very curious."
Li Changgui said self-deprecatingly: "When I get older, I just like to ask questions."
"You don't look that old. Now that I've finished my work, I'm leaving now."
Just then, a young woman with a snake-like face and big eyes appeared at the corner of the street. She was wearing heavy makeup and a black veil that showed her flesh. She was rolling her eyes and looking around with an unhappy look on her face.
Ah Si grabbed Officer Gao and said, "Don't go, watch for a while!"
"What's going on?" Officer Gao followed Ah Si's gaze and laughed, then he realized that Ah Si was inviting him to see the scenery. Girls with this kind of appearance and dress are common on live streaming platforms, but it is rare to meet one in real life.
Zhang Nianzu also shouted into the room: "Tingting! The little devil is here!" But Lei Tingting didn't know what was wrong and seemed to be in no interest.
The snake-faced man saw his car, the rabbit-faced man, and quickly took two steps to stand in front of the car and questioned Zhang Nianzu with his head raised: "What did that woman say when she parked the car?"
"I've said everything that needs to be said, but we can't repair this car." When the snake-faced girl raised her head, Zhang Nianzu realized that her eyes were not big. They were drawn with eyeliner. Apart from that, the makeup on her face was half an inch thick, and it sparkled as the angle changed. Fortunately, because she was young, even though she had various injections, there was no sense of lag when she made expressions.
"What a lousy place!" The snake demon rolled his eyes again and attacked the rabbit demon. At this time, people from all over the street were squatting on both sides to watch the fun. Naturally, no one was willing to take over the car that the "technical consultant" couldn't repair.
The snake-faced girl tried to hail a taxi several times, but the rabbit-faced girl just kept whining and refused to get on. She was so angry that she got out of the car and kicked the wheels twice. Powder fell from her face, and rhinestones fell from the rabbit-faced girl. People on the street laughed at the sight.
Although Officer Gao also found it fun, catching the drug dealers was more important, so he said to Zhang Nianzu, "Don't bully her. It's her freedom to choose how to live her life, as long as it's not illegal." Then he drove away in the repaired car.
The snake-faced man complained for a while and then got back into the car, continuing to make the rabbit-faced man hum.
Zhang Nianzu really couldn't stand it anymore, and said to Ah San: "Go and help her start the car." What kind of life other people choose is indeed none of his business, but it was wrong for the snake-faced girl to want to step on Zhao Meir to show off her power. From another perspective, she and Zhao Meir's boss teamed up to bully others and were accomplices to the evil one. He didn't want to care about her, but the rabbit-faced girl's humming was a headache.
Ah San stood beside the car, took a look, and said to the snake-faced woman, "Release the handbrake." It turned out that she didn't even move the handbrake.
"Hold the clutch."
The snake-faced man did as he was told.
After trying two or three times, Ah San finally managed to start the car.
The snake-faced man didn't even say thank you, and to show his dissatisfaction, he stepped on the accelerator furiously, probably wanting to leave everyone with a proud and lonely back view of him whizzing away. In the end, he crashed into the steps next to him. Zhang Nianzu waved his hands vigorously and said, "Leave quickly before the engine is turned off. We can't repair the bumper!"
The rabbit spirit walked away dejectedly.
Zhang Nianzu sighed: "It's really unlucky for the car to be in the hands of such a person."
Lei Tingting sat in the room without moving. Zhang Nianzu walked in puzzled and asked, "Tingting, what's wrong with you?"
Lei Tingting glanced at Zhang Nianzu and said with a worried look on her face: "Nianzu, I suddenly have a bad feeling."
"What's the meaning?"
Lei Tingting stammered, "I'm afraid...the sudden appearance of that drug lord is related to my father."
Zhang Nianzu sat opposite her and asked, "Why do you think so?"
Lei Tingting said: "The drug lord drove such a conspicuous car into our city, and then he was never found again, which means that there must be someone here to pick him up. And why did he come all the way from Yunnan? It's because someone took the initiative to invite him here. Who in our city has such a need? Who has such great power?"
Zhang Nianzu held Lei Tingting's hand and said, "Tell me the truth, was your father involved in drugs in the past?"
Lei Tingting said anxiously: "I can't say for sure. How could he tell me about his affairs?"
Zhang Nianzu pondered and said, "If this was really done by your father, then he is really in danger."
