Chapter 396 A Call from Master Huo Jiu

"That is to say, there must be something wrong with Jin Chengdong's release from prison. The three international patents have basically nothing to do with him. It must be a trap set by those people to get him in."
Wu Qingluan quickly said that in this case, whether or not they could find the prison guard from three years ago didn't seem so important to Gu Nankai and the others. Now that they had confirmed that the money laundering case was just a cover, their focus would be to find what they wanted to cover up under this cover.
What is it?
Gu Nankai looked at the information of the three children. These three children had one thing in common, that is, their mental state was not very clear.
Fourteen or fifteen years old, mentally ill, disappeared three years ago...
Gu Nankai thought about this information over and over again in his mind. Finally, his eyes lit up slightly and he quickly said, "Let's go visit the parents of these three children and find out what happened when the children disappeared. Most importantly, let's see if we can find any common points."
"Boss, what about Zheng Mingrui..." Gao Yuan thought about what he had not finished and asked Gu Nankai hesitantly. Gu Nankai thought about it and made a decision immediately: "It's time for Yang Dong to take charge of the situation. He has done a good job these days. Just leave this matter to him."
After Gu Nankai said this, Gao Yuan was immediately overjoyed. He smiled and said "oh" and immediately called Yang Dong. After giving him a general introduction of the situation, the group set out to find out about the three children.
It was still the same as before, six people, two in a group. Now the situation was getting more serious, so Gu Nankai was more careful about their safety. In addition, Gao Yuan, that brat, had found some equipment from somewhere. Although it looked inconspicuous, it made everyone look at them with admiration.
Everyone knows that the case they are investigating now is not as simple as usual. Even if it is complicated, it will not threaten their lives too much. But this time, everyone knows that this time is different.
After some searching, everyone found the child's family. After asking some questions, everyone met in a restaurant. After finally filling their stomachs, everyone began to share the clues they had obtained. However, when they said this, they were all shocked.
"That is to say, the children were playing in the same playground before they disappeared."
Gu Nankai put down his chopsticks and summed up.
Gao Yuan immediately said, "If that's the case, then I can probably identify who they saw together at the amusement park."
This statement surprised everyone again. Wu Qingluan immediately asked, "What else did you find out?"
Gao Yuan swallowed the last bite of food in his mouth, took a sip of water and said, "The family Cao Cang and I went to had a smarter parent who kept the surveillance footage of the playground when the child disappeared. While I was checking the surveillance footage, I found a person."
"Who?" Several voices sounded at the same time, very curious.
"Zheng Lin." Gao Yuan said in a loud voice this name that everyone had just learned but was still somewhat unfamiliar with.
"Zheng Lin? Zheng Mingrui's sister?" Shang Lu found it a little unbelievable at first. If that 's the case, then this matter is closely related to Zheng Mingrui's family?
At this time, Cao Cang also nodded: "It is indeed Zheng Lin, we have confirmed this. Boss, do you think we should go to Zheng Lin's house now?"
"Yes, I must." Gu Nankai's eyes turned cold and he said it immediately, but somehow, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
"Cao Cang, you and Li Meng should go in charge of this matter." Gu Nankai thought for a while and said.
Cao Cang and Li Meng nodded immediately. Seeing Li Meng hurriedly eating another half bowl of rice, the two hurried away. As soon as they left, Shang Lu asked again, "Boss, what should we do now?"
Just as Gu Nankai was about to speak, the cell phone on the table lit up. He immediately picked it up and looked at it. Although there was no caller ID on this phone, the number was very familiar to him. Frowning, he immediately stood up and walked to a slightly farther place.
The call was from Mr. Huo Jiu.
Wu Qingluan and the others didn't know who called, nor did they know what the person on the line said, but it was clear that when Gu Nankai came back, his face looked a little serious. He looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, I have to go to Mr. Huo Jiu. There seems to be something wrong with him. The three of you go back to the serious crime team first. The focus is still on Lin Hai and Zheng Mingrui. Although Lin Hai is dead, he and Zheng Mingrui have cooperated for so long. I believe that there is no simple organ trade between them. Check Lin Hai's family. I think his wife is still smart."
He didn't say who he was going with, so no one spoke. Wu Qingluan thought of the huge iron gate and the huge residence, and felt a little disappointed. Deep down, she still hoped that Gu Nankai would tell her that he was going with her.
Gu Nankai seemed to see the slight disappointment on her face. Although he didn't say it explicitly, he still said, "Once this matter is resolved, I will take you to see Master Jiu. He is a very good person and will definitely like you."
Others might not know about Master Huo Jiu's reputation, but Gao Yuan knew a little about it. When he thought about the possibility of meeting a hero like Master Huo Jiu and that his boss had such a good relationship with Master Huo Jiu, he was so excited that he was speechless and could only nod repeatedly.
Gu Nankai deliberately glanced at Wu Qingluan, raised the corners of his lips slightly, then turned around and left.
Wu Qingluan was immersed in his fleeting smile, and her heart was beating fast for a moment. Fortunately, Gao Yuan and Shang Lu didn't see it, otherwise she would have been very embarrassed today.
Soon, the three of them went back to investigate Lin Hai and Zheng Mingrui according to Gu Nankai's instructions, while Gu Nankai drove to where Mr. Huo Jiu was.
Mr. Huo Jiu was unusually serious today.
When Gu Nankai arrived, the old man was still in high spirits, as usual. The white Tang suit made him look even more kind, but this time, the chattering boys around him were not there. Someone was making tea in front of the old man, and smiled when he saw him coming: "You little brat, if you don't have something to do, don't remember to come and see me."
Gu Nankai walked over and sat on the sofa next to him familiarly: "I have a lot of cases, and I am powerless. But you seem to be doing well."
The old man laughed a few times at his amusement. Seeing that the tea was almost ready, he waved his hand and asked the person who made the tea to leave. Gu Nankai frowned slightly, but did not keep him in suspense. As soon as the person left, he spoke directly: "Is there something important? Why did everyone leave? Even Uncle Liu is not here?"
Uncle Liu had been with Master Huo Jiu for decades, and Master Huo Jiu had never hidden anything from him. Uncle Liu usually never left Master Huo Jiu's side. Gu Nankai was shocked to see Uncle Liu missing this time, and immediately asked, "And where are Huo Si, Huo Wu, Huo Liu, and the others? Why are they nowhere to be seen?"
Master Huo Jiu did not beat around the bush with Gu Nankai and said directly, "Uncle Liu and those young men are all out on business. I asked you to come here today because of this matter."
Even though he had retired from the underworld for many years, his aura was still very shocking when he was serious. Even Gu Nankai felt a little timid in front of him, and he couldn't imagine what other people would be like.
"It's about..." Looking into his eyes, Gu Nankai took a deep breath and spoke slowly, but was interrupted by Master Huo Jiu before he could finish his words.
