Chapter 572 The old myth
"Get close quietly? Haha, what kind of trick are you doing? Do you think Chu Tianshu is a Japanese? Our current situation is that there is no way to get close. But I think nothing in this world can be without flaws. Even the most magical magic trick in the world will reveal flaws. Or in other words, some people in that magic trick must know the truth. Doesn't Chu Tianshu know him?" Musen said thinking.
Captain Wu thought about it very seriously, then suddenly slapped the table and said, "Hey! There is someone, we may be able to ask."
"who?"
"My old friend, Lao Zhang and Zhang Changzhong. This old friend used to be the title of you, which is also a myth in the police industry. When he was young, he solved countless cases, and no one would admire his meticulous reasoning logic! But since his wife died in a car accident ten years ago, he has changed. He is depressed and often nervous. In addition, he is not young now, so the police force will let him retreat to the second line to do civil service, even if he retires in advance. However, when there are special cases, the police will still find this old friend to help." Captain Wu said happily as the old friend he mentioned.
"Will he know about Chu Tianshu?" Mu Sen was a little confused. Why did Captain Wu suddenly talk about such a frustrated middle-aged decadent old detective?
Captain Wu said, "Hey, you don't know this. Why do I say he is so silly? Because as long as there is something wrong with him, he will check it to the end regardless of whether it is related to him or not. This kind of spirit is to say it's good to be persistent, but to be ugly, it's sick. Many people say that he was stimulated because his wife died, and fortunately his daughter is still alive, otherwise, he would probably have been gone."
"So do you think he will investigate Chu Tianshu?" Musen still felt that this possibility was not high.
But Captain Wu said with certainty: "As long as your reasoning is correct, he will definitely not miss it. If Chu Tianshu really has a problem, and there is such a big problem as you said. People like Lao Zhang will definitely investigate it secretly. No matter what, let's ask first, there is no harm."
"Okay, when?" Musen agreed.
"He is in Lin City now. You go back and take a day off. Let's set off tomorrow." Captain Wu said.
"good."
After that, Musen and Mo Ziqian returned to their homes. Mo Ziqian asked Musen if he had ever heard of such a magical old detective. Musen shook his head and said that he didn't know that there was such a person in the police. What's more, Musen's attention to the police is far less intense than that of the criminals. Therefore, it is normal not to know that there is such a person. According to Captain Wu's opinion, this old detective is rarely said to be in his fifties, and Musen and others may not have the chance to understand.
In short, just as Captain Wu said, there is no harm in going there. One more way and one more opportunity to find Chu Tianshu as soon as possible.
The next day, Mu Sen and Mo Ziqian followed Captain Wu to the city bureau where Lao Zhang was. Captain Wu called Lao Zhang, but no one answered.
When he called him about ten times in a row, Musen on the side finally couldn't help asking: "Are you sure you are old friends?"
"Then you need to say it!! Why am I lying to you? He is older than me and has taken me for several months. I watched him solve many cases and later assigned to different cities, so I separated." Captain Wu was a little anxious. He couldn't stand the questioning of what others said to him, so he continued to call and prove it to Musen that what he said was true.
But all the time, Old Zhang didn't answer the phone. This made Captain Wu very angry and unhappy.
Captain Wu, who was not patient, decided to go to the bureau to ask, but the people in the bureau said that he had not seen Lao Zhang recently. He heard that he was going on vacation with his daughter, and no one knew where he went.
Since his wife passed away, this old Zhang has become mysterious and weird in character. So if he is not in the police force for a few days or loses contact, no one will find it strange.
Captain Wu was unwilling to give up, so he simply said to Musen: "Let's stay here! I believe that he will call me back when he sees my missed answer. Since he has arrived, wouldn't it be in vain if he doesn't see him? If you two are bored, go for a walk nearby, see the scenery, eat snacks, and wait for Lao Zhang to call, and I'll notify you."
"" Mu Sen didn't say much when he saw Captain Wu paying attention to the old detective so much. He could only agree, find a place near the police force, and wait for the "Old Myth" to return on vacation.
In the hotel, Mo Ziqian asked Musen with a smile: "Will you say an old detective who knows about vacationing be nervous?"
"Others laugh at me for being too crazy, but I laugh at me for not seeing through it. Many times, we cannot accurately tell who is the real madman." Musen lay on the rocking chair on the balcony, basking in the sun with his eyes closed comfortably.
It was time for dinner, Captain Wu finally knocked on the door of Mu Sen and the others and said with excitement: "Old Zhang has called back! He is on the way back, I will ask him to come here to have a good time with us!" Captain Wu's expression was not only excited, but also a little proud. It seemed that he wanted to have a good look at the younger generations such as Mu Sen and the others. In the past, there were people as strong as them.
At about 7:30 pm, someone knocked on the door.
Captain Wu was so excited that he was like a young man preparing for a blind date. He ran to the door in three steps and opened the door. The excitement made Mu Sen feel a little surprised when he looked at it.
Outside the door, there was an old man who looked like he was a little over 50 years old. Although he was actually only a little over fifty years old, his head was full of white hair. This was probably the pain of losing his wife back then. He had gray hair all night and he got so much older. I guess, this old Zhang must love his wife very much. When Musen saw this person for the first time, he thought of these things.
Lao Zhang was wearing a gray coat, and his gray beard looked like he hadn't been trimmed for a long time. His gray pants and gray hair, all of this made him look gray and dull.
Especially those eyes, it seems that there is no way to see the sadness and joy.
Unlike Captain Wu, he seemed to be back at the age of eighteen, and hugged Lao Zhang happily and happily let him into the room.
"Old guy! You're back! Why are you so leisurely? Where did you take Xiaoxue to play?" Captain Wu greeted warmly. He heard that Lao Zhang's daughter Xiaoxue survived by chance. When she had a car accident ten years ago, Xiaoxue was only ten years old. Since that day, the father and daughter have depended on each other. Captain Wu said that Xiaoxue is Lao Zhang's only motivation to survive.
Lao Zhang looked at Captain Wu who was excited and a little stupid, shook his head helplessly and smiled, "You are still the same as before, and you haven't changed at all."
"Hahaha, my nature is hard to change! Come on, I will introduce you to two young men. These two young men are now a myth that everyone in our police circle knows! You won't not know, right?" Captain Wu said, and then pulled Lao Zhang in front of Musen and Mo Ziqian.
Old Zhang looked at the two people politely, and then said, "Police World Myth? Musen, Mo Ziqian. Is that right?"
Captain Wu was stunned, and then said happily as if he had won the lottery: "Hahaha, look at it, I'll just say it! There is nothing you don't know! You don't have to go to the police, and these big and small things can't escape your eyes. They are still so powerful, not as good as those back then!"
Old Zhang waved his hand and smiled modestly, "The loess is buried in his chest, what else is there to be awesome or not." As he said that, Old Zhang looked at Mo Ziqian and said, "Everyone said that Mo Ziqian was the top forensic doctor in the police at the time, with an unparalleled appearance. I think this one is. Then there is no need to say, the other must be the genius of solving the case, Mu Sen. Right?" Old Zhang's smile was very kind, and Mu Sen could even see his former wise and courageous look from his now dim eyes.
"You've been awarded, come and sit down and chat." Musen said, and brought Lao Zhang and Captain Wu to the sofa in the living room.
After they all sat down, they exchanged greetings with each other. Lao Zhang asked Captain Wu: "Why are you here? Is there anything wrong with me?"
"I did come here to find you a problem, but it was also to see you! You are so elusive that you can't find someone. You can talk about my affairs later. Tell me first, how are you doing now?" Captain Wu looked at him with concern, and he could tell that he really cared about this old friend.
Old Zhang closed his eyes slightly and shook his head and said, "After she left, I will have nothing to do. Raising my daughter is my only goal and motivation.
"It's been ten years, can't I let go? Lao Zhang's life is impermanent, and birth, old age, sickness and death are all things that must be experienced. None of us knows which accident or tomorrow will come first. You have to learn to let go and let the deceased rest in peace." The words that Captain Wu learned from somewhere, and he comforted Lao Zhang with emotion.
Lao Zhang did not shy away, and said in front of Musen and the others: "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me. Even if I think of my wife's death today, I still feel that everything is right in front of me. I don't know why I've been unknowingly ten years."
"Look at Xiaoxue, you will know! You are already a big girl now, and you should get married in a few years. How is she okay now?" Captain Wu asked.
"Well, she is very good. By the way, don't just talk about my affairs. You brought these two people here to find me, definitely not to reminisce about the past and help me relieve my heart. Tell me, what's the matter?" Lao Zhang looked at Captain Wu with a smile.
"Well, okay. There is a young man named in our police force."
Before Captain Wu finished speaking, Lao Zhang's cell phone suddenly rang out of place.
Captain Wu signaled that Lao Zhang answered the phone first and did not affect his business.
Lao Zhang answered the phone and was called by the police station. They wanted to ask this old myth to come out for help, because they are now facing some difficult problems.
Captain Wu heard it from the side and quickly said to Lao Zhang: "The matter in the bureau is important! It's okay, I'll go with you. We'll talk about our affairs after we finish our work."
Seeing that Captain Wu and Mu Sen had no objection, Lao Zhang agreed and went there now.
The place they were going to was a funeral home located in the suburbs. The trouble the police station mentioned was in the funeral home.
Captain Wu asked Lao Zhang to go downstairs first, but he said to Mu Sen: "Brother Mu, we came to ask someone to do things. Now that the police station has something to do, we should let him go and do the important business first, right?"
"Yeah, yes." Musen nodded.
"Can you go over with us? Anyway, it's boring to be idle here! I know Musen, but when I see a case, it's like a fly seeing shit, no, no, bah, I can't speak, I'm just very interested. Now, can you just sit in the hotel like this?" Captain Wu aroused Musen's curiosity that was obsessed with the case.
Musen glanced at Mo Ziqian and wanted to hear what he meant.
Mo Ziqian said: "This old Zhang looks really good. You can tell at a glance that he was a powerful character in the police. In addition, he has been sad about his wife for ten years, so I want to go and have a look together. If there is a place to help, I will be happy to serve."
Captain Wu's face was almost laughing when he heard Mo Ziqian say this, and he said happily: "Oh, my God! I have never seen anyone who can get such treatment! Brother Mu, look at the other doctor Mo has spoken, why are you still standing there? Take your clothes quickly and let's go over and take a look!"
"Okay." Musen took his clothes and followed Captain Wu out of the hotel.
Not to mention, what Mo Ziqian just said was exactly what Mu Sen thought. He believed in his eyes and could see that Lao Zhang's unchanging feelings for his deceased wife for ten years were real. It was not acting or artificial, nor was it for anyone to see. There are few such people in today's society.
Not to mention ten years, there are many people who remarry in less than a year. No one can judge such a person as being unkind because this is a personal choice and freedom. It can only be said that people like Lao Zhang are definitely an exception. They are people who Musen thinks deserve respect.
It was precisely because the old and dark old Zhang left a very good first impression on Mu Sen and Mo Ziqian that they decided to go and have a look with Captain Wu.
On the way to go, Mo Ziqian fiddled with the map with his mobile phone and said with some concern: "This place is very remote, and there is only one way to do it."
"It's not about catching terrorists, why do you do when studying terrain? This is a small city, and there will be no big and outrageous cases. People in the small city live a comfortable life and rarely hear anything big. The police station didn't say anything about it just now. It's not sure if the funeral home lost the manhole cover or something." Captain Wu analyzed nonsense, without feeling nervous at all.
Mu Sen slowly replied beside him: "Your old mythological guy, didn't you come out of the mountain after a special case? If you throw a manhole cover, you should ask him to come here in person?" To be continued.
