I am a super cop

Officer Wang wanted to break the distance between him and Lao Mumu in a homely way.

After all, Comrade Lao Wang has used this trick for many years, and it is very effective for the elderly.

Many of the pain points of the elderly come from loneliness. Especially after the wife leaves and the children are not around all year round, they will inevitably feel a lot of emotion when they are alone.

Therefore, Officer Wang also found a breakthrough based on his previous experience in handling such matters.

Lao Mumu sighed quietly and said helplessly: "Actually, my children are very good to me, but I will become a burden to them."

Looking up at everyone, Lao Mumu added: "When my wife was alive, I basically didn't have to work. My wife was always busy at home."

"But after my wife left, I seemed to be unable to take care of myself."

Sighing again, Lao Mumu continued: "I also stayed at my children's home for a while, but I felt that not only could I not help take care of the children, I even needed the children to take care of me."

"I have been staying in this ravine and Hemu Village all year round, and I feel a little out of touch with the outside world."

"When I stay with the children again, there is no topic at all, and I feel like we are no longer the same kind of people."

"But they are related to you by blood, aren't they?" Gu Chen said.

"Although that's true." Lao Mumu nodded silently and sighed:

"However, I know that I have become a burden to them. I have no choice but to return to Hemu Village."

"But in recent years, because of the epidemic, they rarely come back to see me. I feel lonely staying alone in Hemu Village. You may not understand."

"Every time I see elderly people in other villages having their own children come to visit them, I am really envious."

When he said this, Lao Mumu's eyes gradually became moist, as if he was wronged by something that Gu Chen and others could not understand.

Seeing this, Lu Weiwei asked curiously: "What happened next? Is it because of this reason that you pretended to be sick?"

"Yeah." Faced with Lu Weiwei's question, Lao Mumu nodded and admitted, and couldn't help but say:

"I can't help it. Every time I see the children of other elderly people in the village visiting them, I feel envious. But when I call those children, they all say they don't have time and say they'll come see me another day."

With a heavy sigh, Lao Mumu continued: "I think they just think I'm troublesome, and their relationship with me is gradually alienated, so I have to pretend to be sick, just to make them worry about me."

"Yes." After hearing this, Gu Chen also said seriously: "I heard that your children later took you to the city hospital and the provincial hospital for medical treatment, but no problems were found. You did it on purpose. ?”

"It's intentional." Seeing what Gu Chen said, Lao Mumu didn't seem to want to hide anything anymore? Admit it directly.

Gu Chen asked again: "Aren't you afraid of troublesome your children?"

"Haha." Listening to Gu Chen's words, Lao Mumu burst out laughing, leaving everyone confused.

Lu Qiang was also curious and asked him: "Why are you laughing?"

"If they don't come to see me, can't I be allowed to torment them?"

After Lao Mumu tried to calm down, he said again: "If I don't pretend to be sick, how can I know whether they have me in their hearts?"

"But later, I found that they still cared about me, and they were indeed very busy."

"And the daily work pressure is very high, and they even face the crisis of middle-aged unemployment."

"It's because I don't know much about the outside world and what they have to face."

"So, I can only pretend to be stupid and have Alzheimer's disease, but I can't be too Alzheimer's. Even if I get infected, the hospital can't find out the specific cause, so they can't judge."

"Only in this way, if my children have conscience, and if they take pity on me during the holidays, they may come to see me."

"Then why are you pretending to be sick in the village? Aren't you acting for women?" Lu Weiwei also expressed confusion after hearing what Lao Mu said.

But Lao Mumu smiled bitterly and said, "Because people in the village are quite snobbish, and everyone likes to compare themselves with each other."

"For example, whose children are making a lot of money outside, and whose children are promising in various ways outside?"

"But what about me? I have nothing to offer, and I have nothing to show off."

With a heavy sigh, the old wood also said with a bitter face:

"But in the village, the folks in my hometown don't see each other without looking up."

"Whenever I pass by the village, they make all kinds of comments. I can't bear it, so I pretend not to hear anything."

"Every time they were talking about others, I would just pass by quietly. Over time, everyone thought I was sick and had Alzheimer's disease. Anyway, they stopped communicating with me."

"Then wouldn't you feel more lonely like this?" Lu Qiang said.

"Haha." After laughing twice, Lao Mumu said indifferently: "There is nothing to talk about with them, and the relationship between us is not very good."

"Wait a minute." Listening to what Lao Mumu said, Gu Chen seemed to have discovered the problem and quickly asked:

"You mean, your relationship with the villagers is not very good?"

Seeing Lao Mumu nodding, Gu Chen asked again: "Why?"

"How can there be so many reasons?" Seeing Gu Chen suddenly ask, Lao Mumu hesitated and confessed frankly:

"Actually, I used to be the principal of a primary school in Baisui Peak Town. Maybe I was a little literate back then and loved to play nonsense, which made the people in the village uncomfortable."

"Originally, everyone was uneducated, and I was the principal of a primary school in the town. Logically speaking, everyone should benefit from it. It was me who was stubborn and even looked down on the villagers."

With a faint sigh, Lao Mumu also sighed helplessly: "So, the people in the village were polite to me later, but they were all fake politeness. Who told me that I was the principal of the primary school in the town at that time?"

"At that time, everyone in the town of Baisui Peak was very polite to me, and I also enjoyed the feeling of being praised, which made me feel a little arrogant."

"Many things were not taken into consideration, and many people were offended."

"So, later on, the children all left the town and I resigned as the principal. Everyone's attitude towards me began to turn towards my children."

After a short pause, Lao Mumu was filled with emotion and continued:

"If my children are successful, maybe their attitude towards me will be better."

"But the key point is that my children are all ordinary people. They all do ordinary jobs, and they are not considered to be superior people."

"And the children of many people in the village have made some small money because they entered society relatively early."

Looking at Gu Chen and others, Lao Mumu continued: "You also know that people in the village like to compare. This is an unavoidable fact."

"But when your past glory no longer exists, they will make fun of you in all kinds of weird ways."

Pointing at himself, Lao Mumu added: "And I am a literati with my own character. Of course I can't get along with them, and I don't disdain to associate with them."

"So over time, I started to become lonely and I started to want to escape from here."

"But I found that after I left Hemu Village and Baizhangfeng Town, basically no one knew you, and even my own children couldn't live in harmony."

"Then you are indeed miserable." Listening to Lao Mumu's complaint, Lu Weiwei couldn't help but feel some empathy.

Lao Mumu also shook his head and sighed: "There is no way, I am a person who likes to stay in a small place, especially a person who likes to be praised by the neighbors in a small place."

"But after all, it's true that there are mountains outside the mountains. When I found that I was nothing outside, I really didn't know how to face life."

"Is it that exaggerated?" Listening to Lao Mu's story, Officer Wang even felt that Lao Mu was a bit of a waste of life.

Gu Chen suddenly thought of something again? So he quickly asked: "I heard from the villagers that after my colleagues Yuan Shasha and Yanzi returned to the village, you had frequent contact with them. Is it because Yanzi was once your student?"

"Yes." Faced with Gu Chen's question, Lao Mu still chose to nod and admit.

This was exactly what Gu Chen wanted. Gu Chen also wanted to extend this topic, so he added:

"So, Yanzi is familiar with you because you were once the principal and teacher of her elementary school."

"Is that why she frequently communicates with you in the village?"

"Yeah." Faced with Gu Chen's question, Lao Mumu nodded again.

"Then what have you communicated with?" Lu Weiwei asked curiously after hearing this.

Lao Mumu hesitated for a moment, and then said thoughtfully: "We actually just exchanged about our lives."

"What are the specific things? Can you tell us?" Lu Weiwei adjusted the angle of the law enforcement recorder and continued to ask.

At this moment, Lao Mu seemed to be conflicted and unwilling to mention it too much.

But looking at the serious looks of Gu Chen's team, he knew that if he didn't explain something, these people would definitely not let him leave easily.

After thinking about it, Lao Mumu nodded slowly and said involuntarily:

"Actually, we were just chatting about our recent status. Yanzi told me that she works for a large company. She seems to be an agent or something?"

"I've heard that it's not very good, especially because the work is very tiring, you need to work overtime every day, and your daily routine is irregular."

With a heavy sigh, Lao Mumu also continued: "Yanzi said that she has been under a lot of pressure recently and is in a terrible mood, so she wants to come back for a visit."

"After all, this is where she grew up."

"So, you have nothing to do with the disappearance of Yanzi and Yuan Shasha?" Listening to Lao Mumu's story, Lu Weiwei took advantage of every opportunity and hurriedly asked.

And Lao Mumu's answer was straightforward: "No."

"Okay." Seeing that Lao Mumu didn't seem to want to lie, Lu Weiwei quickly asked, "Did Yanzi reveal anything more to you?"

"More things?" Lao Mumu was stunned for a moment, but he still explained:

"Actually, she told me that she was depressed and wanted to come back and rest for a while."

"Also, ask me how I am doing lately? Of course I have to tell him that everything is fine with me."

"Anyway, that's probably what it means." Nodding silently, Lao Mumu also sighed and said:

"What about Xiao Yuan? Is it my colleague Yuan Shasha, the other girl who came here with Yanzi?" Gu Chen said.

"Yuan Shasha?" After being stunned, Lao Mumu also thought seriously: "I have met her before, she is a nice person."

"I heard that Yuan Shasha and Yanzi knew each other very early. At that time, Yuan Shasha was still studying."

"But later, Yuan Shasha left Jiangnan City for a long time."

"It wasn't until this little girl became a police officer in Jiangnan City that she contacted Yanzi again."

With a faint sigh, Lao Mumu continued to explain: "So, when Yanzi said that she was not in a good mood, Yuan Shasha was the first to tell her that she was willing to accompany her back to her hometown to relax, that's all."

"Is that so?" Seeing that Lao Mumu explained in great detail, Officer Wang continued thoughtfully:

"That means Yuan Shasha is not familiar with you. You just know that she is Yanzi's friend?"

"Yes." Lao Mumu nodded silently: "I seldom talk to strangers, but this girl Yuan Shasha left a deep impression on me. She is a very free and easy girl."

"Moreover, her relationship with Yanzi is really good. The two of them talk about almost everything."

After thinking about it, Lao Mumu continued to hum, "Well, that's pretty much it."

"Okay." Listening to Lao Mumu's detailed explanation, Gu Chen thought back to what he had learned before, so he asked Lao Mumu:

"I heard that her grandmother picked up the swallow by the ancient well at the entrance of the village. Is this true?"

Did Gu Chen even know this? Lao Mumu was stunned for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses and continued:

"That's right, Yanzi is an orphan. I don't know which unscrupulous parents just ignored the child after giving birth to it."

"I don't know why it was abandoned in our Hemu Village?"

Looking up at the people in front of him, Lao Mumu shook his head helplessly: "You have to know that even the child's parents would have done well to put the child in another village."

"Our entire Hemu Village is the most remote village deep in the mountains of Centennial Peak, and the conditions are also very poor."

"In the past, only people from the village went out, and no one was heard of coming in."

"But the child is too young, and Yanzi's grandmother is also alone, so she wants to adopt the child."

With a faint sigh, Lao Mumu continued: "So later, when Yanzi was sent to the hospital for examination, her grandmother was busy taking care of her, but she couldn't let go of the girl."

"Later, the leaders of the town said that if you like this girl, you can submit an application and adopt her."

"Grandma Yanzi really agreed, but because of the limited conditions, she was rejected many times."

"In the end, it was the leaders of the town who vouched for it and the villagers of Hemu Village worked together to finally let her grandmother adopt Yanzi."

"From then on, Yanzi became a member of our Hemu Village until she grew up and went out to study and work."

After saying this, Lao Mumu was filled with emotion and couldn't help but say:

"Yanzi is the smartest student among the students I have ever taught. He is a learning genius."

"That's why she was able to get into a good university and get ahead." "So, when I saw Yanzi again in the village, I felt that I had endless things to talk about with her, but I was afraid of being discovered by the villagers. , I have been pretending to be sick.”

"So I can only have a good chat with Yanzi when I meet her outside the village."

"You mean, you usually meet Yanzi outside the village?" After hearing Lao Mumu's explanation, Gu Chen asked him curiously.

Lao Mumu nodded: "That's right, every time I meet Yanzi, it's always outside the village."

Looking up at everyone, Lao Mumu asked again: "Is there a problem?"

"Okay." Gu Chen walked back and forth in front of Lao Mu, then turned around and said:

"Is Yanzi coming here just because he is under great pressure from work and wants to go home and relax?"

"Uh...that's what she said." When Gu Chen asked, Lao Mu could only agree.

"You didn't say anything else?" Lu Qiang also continued to ask.

Lao Mumu hesitated for a moment and then said slowly: "She didn't seem to say anything? She just talked to me about something every time we met outside the village."

"Then...then..."

Halfway through the words, Lao Mumu seemed to think of something again? So he quickly said:

"Oh, by the way, Yanzi once asked me, who are her biological parents?"

"What?" Listening to what Lao Mu said, Lu Weiwei was a little puzzled and said:

"Yanzi asked who her biological parents are? Has she ever asked? But why is she asking now? Didn't she ask before?"

"I don't know what stimulated Yan Zi?" Seeing Lu Weiwei's expression of incomprehension, Lao Mumu was thoughtful and continued to explain:

"Anyway, when I looked at Yanzi at that time, I felt something was wrong in her eyes."

"Because Yanzi knew before. She knew that she was a child picked up by the grandmother in the village since she was in elementary school."

"Because those unqualified children often call her a child without a father and a mother at school, which makes Yanzi cry every time."

"I really couldn't stand it, so I taught those children a lesson to protect Yanzi's self-esteem."

"So from that time on, I have been one of Yanzi's most intimate elders."

"As long as I am still the principal of an elementary school, she will not let anyone bully her. However, when she came back this time, she came to me specifically and asked me about this matter, which surprised me."

"Yes." Listening to Lao Mumu's story, Officer Wang walked back and forth and said thoughtfully:

"After all these years, I still didn't know who Yanzi's biological parents were? Can I know now?"

"Could it be that Yan Zi was in a bad mood and depressed, so he expressed the resentment that had been accumulated in his heart for many years?"

"Uh..." After hearing Officer Wang's words, Lao Mumu was stunned for a moment, and then said slowly: "Who knows?"

"In my impression, Yanzi has always been a girl with a very strong heart."

"But this time, I found that she seemed extremely sad, even sadder than when her grandma passed away."

"Especially in the past few days since she came to the village, instead of staying in the village every day, she took Yuan Shasha and ran outside together."

"Where to go?" Lu Qiang asked.

"Where else can we go? Just the mountains around the village. I go there every day. I also thought to myself that Yanzi has been to these mountains countless times when he was a child."

"Apart from the better scenery, there really isn't much to see. Maybe her memories are left here? That's why she especially cherishes her stay in Hemu Village these days."

"Then you didn't feel that there was anything different about her state at that time?" Gu Chen still felt that there seemed to be something wrong with it.

At least in Gu Chen's intuition, it would definitely not be that simple for Yanzi to suddenly go home on vacation this time.

Otherwise, the two of them would not have disappeared.

Gu Chen has always had a strong sense of this kind of consciousness, which shows that at certain moments, his sixth sense is working, or it is a kind of guidance.

When Lao Mumu heard this, he scratched his cheek and said thoughtfully: "What's the difference? Then she asked me, who are her biological parents? This question is a bit strange."

"If I had known about it, I should have told her long ago. She is no longer a child and should have the right to know."

"But the key is, I don't know either, no one knows."

After thinking about it, Lao Mumu quickly looked at Gu Chen and said, "Perhaps the grandma who raised her knows something about it?"

"After all, when her grandma discovered her by the ancient well at the entrance of the village, no one else knew about it."

"In the end, her grandmother tried her best to raise her. At that time, everyone couldn't understand it. She even asked the villagers to help provide guarantees and strive to get Yanzi's custody rights."

With a faint sigh, Lao Mumu also said meaningfully: "You must know that adopting an orphan requires certain qualifications, especially family conditions."

"Otherwise, the orphan would have to suffer hardships with the family, and it was obvious that Grandma Yanzi at that time was not qualified for adoption at all."

"However, she asked the villagers to vouch for her, mobilized collective strength, and had the support of the town leaders, and then she obtained custody of Yanzi."

"At least when her grandma couldn't support her, the people in the village wouldn't just stand by and watch. Moreover, the town also helped her apply for some related support subsidies."

With a heavy sigh, Lao Mumu also said with emotion: "So, after so many years, especially Yanzi's grandma has been dead for seven or eight years."

"Yanzi suddenly came back and said he wanted to know about his biological parents. This surprised me. In other words, I couldn't understand Yanzi's mental state at that time."

Speaking of this, Lao Mu seemed to have a complicated mood.

Gu Chen was walking back and forth in front of Lao Mumu, and suddenly stopped, turned to look at Lao Mumu, and asked:

"So, could the swallow disappear because of this problem? How likely is it do you think?"

"This one……"

Facing the questions raised by Gu Chen, Lao Mumu seemed unable to answer, but he still made a rough judgment based on his familiarity with Yanzi:

"I think so. Maybe Yan Zi knows something? In other words, he has grasped something."

"Moreover, this kind of thing may have made her upset and unintentional to continue working, so she chose to return to Hemu Village."

"And she asked me questions about my biological parents. I felt like she came back with some purpose."

"As for the colleague Yuan Shasha you are talking about, she may be the person Yanzi came to help him."

With a faint sigh, Lao Mumu also continued: "So, you said that the two of them disappeared, and I was also surprised."

"After all, I haven't seen the two of them again. Especially, I passed by the Yanzi family's old house and through the window, I also found that their luggage was actually there."

"But even if no one is here, I'm still puzzled, so in the past two days, I've actually been wandering around the area, just trying to find the whereabouts of the two of them."

"Harmful!" Hearing what Lao Mu said, Lu Qiang also sighed and said helplessly:

"You said it would be okay if you didn't tell me earlier? You said you are also looking for the whereabouts of Yanzi and Yuan Shasha. So in the beginning, there is no need to pretend to be sick with us, right?"

Feeling that he had been completely fooled by this old man, Lu Qiang felt a little embarrassed about his face.

After all, at that time, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei had actually noticed that Lao Mu was pretending to be ill.

But I was stupid and thought that these two young people were teasing the elderly.

I am also worried that if something goes wrong, the old man's family will definitely not let everyone go.

He was worried about this and that, but in the end, this old man told you that yes, he was just pretending to be sick.

Moreover, while he was pretending to be sick, he was also secretly searching for the whereabouts of Yanzi and Yuan Shasha. This was a bit dramatic. I felt like this was all for nothing?

Facing Lu Qiang's teasing, Lao Mumu said indifferently: "I just don't understand you, so how can I be willing to confess to you?"

"Besides, no one in the village knows about my pretending to be sick. If I tell you everything, how can I still hang out in the village in the future?"

Lao Mumu also took one breath and slowly expressed his worries.

After all, if you think about it, Lao Mumu will indeed stay in Hemu Village for a long time. If the villagers know that he is pretending to be ill, they will not only laugh at him, but they will probably talk about Lao Mumu pretending to be ill in the future, right?

This may make the old wood feel ashamed and even want to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

But after all, people have difficulties, and from this point of view, Lu Qiang can still understand.

"Okay." He pressed his hands and Lu Qiang said again: "So, everyone has the same goal. So, old man, what clues have you found in the past few days? Can you share them with us?"

Looking up at Officer Wang, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, Lu Qiang said again:

"After all, these are Yuan Shasha's colleagues. They came all the way from Jiangnan City this time to find Yuan Shasha's whereabouts."

"Look, do you have to share it with us?"

Listening to Lu Qiang's words, Lao Mumu hesitated for a moment and seemed to have not yet responded directly.

Seeing this situation, Gu Chen took a step forward and said sincerely: "Old man, we especially need your help now."

"Because this is related to the life and death of my colleagues. Especially, you said it yourself. Yanzi feels a little weird when she comes back this time. She must have been stimulated in some way?"

"That's why I wanted to go back to the village to find some truth. Maybe Yuan Shasha became her helper to find the truth of some things because of her good relationship with her."

Looking around, Gu Chen continued to explain: "Perhaps, this secret is hidden in the hinterland of the mountains and forests of Centennial Peak. That's why they frequently entered the mountains and forests in the past few days since they came to Hemu Village."

"Well, there is such a possibility." Listening to Gu Chen's analysis, Lao Mumu also thought thoughtfully and continued:

"In general, I don't know what Yanzi thinks. I feel like he is completely different from the Yanzi I knew before."

With a faint sigh, Lao Mumu continued: "In general, when Yan Zi was picked up by her grandmother in the ancient well at the entrance of the village, I was still the principal of Baisui Peak Town Central Primary School."

"During that time, I spent most of my time in the town, and I didn't know much about the situation in Hemu Village."

"It is precisely because I have not been in Hemu Village for a long time that my relationship with the villagers has become unfamiliar. In addition, there is a generation gap in the cultural level between me and the villagers."

"So, it's very difficult to communicate, mainly because there is no topic."

After a pause and trying to calm down, Lao Mumu continued: "But, I always feel that the people in the village may know something about Yanzi's life experience."

"Maybe it was out of protection for Grandma Yanzi that I hid part of the truth."

"Hiding part of the truth?" Listening to what Lao Mu said, Lu Weiwei was also stunned and said:

"That is to say, it is a matter of Yanzi's background. In fact, how much should the people in the village know?"

"Yes." Faced with Lu Weiwei's question, Lao Mumu just nodded silently and said involuntarily:

"This is just my guess. After all, I didn't stay in Hemu Village during that time. It was only when I returned to Hemu Village during the Chinese New Year and heard what the villagers said that I learned about these situations."

With a heavy sigh, Lao Mu shook his head and couldn't help but said jokingly:

"However, there are some barriers between me and the villagers, so it feels even harder to get some information from them."

"Besides, the people in the village are very thoughtful. They keep silent about many things, such as Yanzi's life experience. According to my understanding of the villagers."

"They usually talk about all kinds of gossip and gossip."

"But they all have a tacit understanding about Yanzi's life experience, but they just keep silent about it."

"If you ask them, they will tell you that they don't know. What else can't you ask?"

After the old man finished speaking, he seemed helpless.

When Gu Chen heard this, he felt more and more that Yanzi's sudden return seemed to be exactly what Lao Mumu said. It was because he knew certain truths that he spent time and took leave to return to this place that he had not returned to for seven or eight years. Return to hometown.

Then, he took his assistant Yuan Shasha to look for clues about his life experience, hoping to find the mystery of his life experience.

But later, due to some reasons, the two of them were trapped in the mountains and disappeared from people's sight quietly.
