Sir Chen, your wife is missing!
Page 333
Chen was cleaning up the mess, picking up the paper balls and cleaning the oil off the floor. She wanted to do it herself, but when she found out that the room was equipped with a dedicated robot vacuum cleaner, she was overjoyed and immediately started the robot, leaving the job of cleaning up the scene to it.
"I only lasted six hours this time. I'm a bit behind. I used to be able to last ten hours. Look at this Feng Qingyu. He's really lame."
The time spent with the racing car was short, and considering the good experience, Chen let her go for the time being, and the resentment accumulated by being bullied disappeared without a trace. The black-haired Drake crawling on the sofa was sleeping soundly, and people couldn't bear to disturb him.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening when the hotel waiter brought dinner. Feng Qingyu was still conscious, so Chen did not wake her up. She ate the seafood risotto brought by the waiter, taking a sip of the Dos Soles Gold Cup beer from time to time.
This brand of beer was created by the Dos Solès government and is a native local brand. Compared with various high-end liquors, Chen still prefers this approachable liquor.
After a hard day's work, there's nothing better than a cold beer in the freezer.
Chen Xi usually turns on the TV to watch the news while eating. As soon as she turned on the high-definition TV in the hotel room, she saw an urgent news broadcast. She turned down the volume of the TV and focused on the host.
The host was a beautiful girl from the Pelo tribe of Dos Soares. She was pretty, spoke clearly, and spoke at a moderate speed. She spoke Colombian, which Chen could understand. She herself had learned several languages when she was studying in Victoria, just in case. Now, in addition to her native Yan language, she also knew Dong Guo, Victorian, and Colombian.
"This evening, there is reliable information that Mayor Candela's cousin, Ms. Sigrid Sanchez, was kidnapped by an unidentified gang, who demanded a huge ransom from Mayor Candela. The case is still under investigation..."
At this critical juncture, someone actually kidnapped the mayor's cousin. Chen didn't dare to say anything else and just said that these people were not afraid of death.
Who is the mayor? How could she, from a little girl who traveled far away from home to such a capable and somewhat crazy career-oriented woman, allow her cousin to be kidnapped?
"But...kidnapping the mayor's cousin is indeed a good way to make money."
Some people work their entire lives, but still do not earn as much as some entrepreneurs do in a month or even a week. Over time, they develop distorted thoughts and hatred of the rich, and want to kidnap the family members of rich people to get some money to spend.
Although kidnapping is illegal and will be dealt with severely if caught by the mayor, those people will do anything for money.
Dosores is not as peaceful as it seems on the surface. In many unknown dark corners, dirty things are breeding and spreading in every corner.
“The mayor should be able to handle it himself.”
Chen felt a little itchy. She had handled many kidnapping cases. She liked handling cases, and she liked the feeling of solving cases even more. As long as she solved a case, she would catch one or more criminals, the crime rate would drop, and the number of people harmed would also decrease.
The arms smuggling case, plus this case, two big cases, if they were all on me, my vacation would definitely be ruined.
Separate work and vacation.
"Chen Huijie, this is vacation, don't think about those messy things."
Chen turned the TV channel to the entertainment channel, which was broadcasting today's auditions. Chen saw himself and Lin Yuxia on TV, and the two of them worked "intimately".
Looks gorgeous, but is actually pretty bad.
Sixty-three commissions
Just because Chen resisted the urge to look for Mayor Candela doesn't mean the mayor won't take the initiative to look for her.
Not long after the news was broadcast and Chen had just finished his meal, his cell phone rang. The number that came in was the mayor's private number.
"Nephew Chen, I'm sorry to bother you. I don't know if you've watched the news. Right now, every channel in Dosores is probably showing a piece of news..."
"I know. I happened to have the TV on when the news was on."
The mayor came to her personally and asked her to investigate the case.
Chen is not greedy for the reward for the rescue operation. She loves being a police officer from the bottom of her heart and wants to fight crime and make people live a better life, that's all.
"In that case, I'll get straight to the point. Nephew Chen, I'd like to entrust you to investigate this kidnapping case. I know people like you enjoy the process of investigating cases the most, and the reward for solving the case will definitely not be small."
Mayor Candela's tone was as natural and calm as when they met in the morning, as if the kidnapped person was not her cousin but an unrelated stranger.
When talking about the arms smuggling case, she was almost the same as she is now, not afraid at all. If you didn't know, you would think Mayor Candela was talking about where to go for a party tonight.
"I have accepted the commission and will start investigating tomorrow. I will use my free time outside of the competition to look for clues. If the kidnappers contact you again, please be sure to contact me then."
"Thank you, Nephew Chen."
Then the two chatted about some things related to the case. The kidnappers now demanded that Mayor Candela pay a huge ransom of 500 million yuan, otherwise they would kill her live in front of the entire Bolivar in the last round of the Grand Prix.
It’s not that the mayor can’t come up with 500 million yuan, it’s just that raising funds takes time.
"The lion's mouth is wide open. These people really want a lot."
Chen himself was shocked by this number.
The amount demanded by the kidnappers in Longmen was always tens of millions, rarely over 100 million. These people saw that the mayor's family was rich, so they asked for 500 million right away, which was quite a risk.
If the mayor is unwilling to give, the kidnapped person is insignificant to the mayor, and the kidnapping is meaningless. The other party knew this and kidnapped the mayor's most beloved cousin, which was a very accurate calculation.
The fact that Mayor Candela loved her cousin, Lady Sigrid, was known to everyone in Dosores and was no secret among the people, so it was impossible to determine whether the kidnapping was done by an acquaintance.
"I understand the situation. I need you to give me permission to mobilize the local police force in Dosorez. I wonder if it is convenient for you."
"What's so difficult about this? Nephew Chen, please feel free to investigate. Dosoles will provide any manpower and material resources unconditionally."
With the mayor's assurance, Chen could start investigating immediately. The mayor had other matters to attend to and hung up the phone quickly.
From her tone, Mayor Candela was not in a hurry at all, so Chen had the illusion that the woman was looking for her to chat, and by the way, she said that something was missing at home and asked her to help find it.
She imagined the scene in her mind where the mayor said, "I, Candela Sánchez, have no feelings," and she didn't find it weird at all.
How can a cousin compare to a biological sister? Chen smiled bitterly.
After dinner, Chen asked room service to clear away the empty plates on the table and the trash in the room, put his computer and research notes on the table, turned on a light and entered work mode.
Feng Qingyu was halfway through writing the case record when he woke up from a nap. To be exact, he was too hungry and had to wake up to eat something.
When I woke up, the first person I saw was Chen working at his desk.
"Good morning, Mr. Chen?"
"It's half past ten at night. It's not morning yet. You can go back to sleep."
"I can't sleep for now. I'm too hungry. You know the reason."
"First of all, I have to blame you for being as damn beautiful as the heroine in the novel. It's hard for me to resist the idea of dragging you to race with me, unless you find a way to become less tempting."
Chen stopped taking notes. She had already written down all the contents and had also done basic information classification and organization. For a detailed investigation, the other two people from the special inspection team, Xingxiong and Shi Huaiya, would be called over to investigate together.
"What do you want to eat? There are many shops near the hotel. If you are in the mood, we will take you down for a walk. If you don't want to walk, we can drive out."
Feng Qingyu just wanted to go out for some fresh air. Ernesto said that there was a commercial street in Dosores that was open all night long, specifically for people who liked to party at night. Eating was just one of many options, and there were also cinemas and various entertainment venues, casinos, bars, and karaoke were all the highlights.
It is worth mentioning that the night view of Dos Sores is very beautiful, especially when looking down from a high place, the shock is even stronger.
"Okay, but I want to sit in the passenger seat."
They hit it off immediately. Feng Qingyu went to take a shower first and make preparations before departure. Chen packed up the things on the table and locked them in the safe in the hotel room.
The departure time was almost the early morning of the next day. The streets near the hotel were as lively as it was at seven or eight o'clock. The faces of those who were having fun showed only enthusiasm and excitement about what they were doing, without any signs of fatigue.
Passing by a casino, Feng Qingyu felt deafened by the sounds of dice rolling and card playing, as well as the gamblers' screams, which were getting louder and louder.
"If you look down from Bolivar in the middle of the night from a flying vehicle, this is probably the only place with lights on."
"I think the same as you. In Longmen, illegal casinos and bars must be banned. The Imperial Guard will not let them endanger public security."
Chen frowned, stepped on the accelerator, and sped away from the bar street.
When they were almost at the end of the bar street, a group of people blocked their way. The group of people who blocked their way were not Chen and Feng Qingyu, but another person who was running away on the same road - a male film actor dressed in a rather rustic way.
Those who were chasing were all holding sticks, looking ferocious and shouting "Asshole, where are you running to?"
The swearing pursuer was a thug from a bar. There were bars and casinos everywhere in this area. The unlucky guy being chased probably didn't have the money to afford the expenses, but didn't want to be beaten, so he ran away.
In Dos Soles, many people became rich overnight, and many people lost everything overnight.
The man was caught up in a few minutes, kicked to the ground and beaten. No one tried to stop him and he was soon beaten to death.
"Mr. Chen, what do you think?"
Feng Qingyu couldn't bear it and wanted to get out of the car to help the man.
"Get out of the car. No matter what happens, I don't want to see a life die in front of me."
Chen parked the car on the side of the road, picked up his weapon, and got out of the car with Feng Qingyu.
“Stop it now!”
With an angry shout, the group of people were hit by a water bullet fired by Chen's high-pressure water gun, and all of them became drowned rats.
Sixty-four
The thugs were suddenly in a rage, but were suddenly soaked by a water cannon and were furious.
They are all Pero, or "drowned dogs" in Longmen's slang. Although they have not fallen into the water, they look so similar now that it looks quite funny.
Chen would not laugh at her opponent's embarrassment, what she wanted was to solve the problem.
The male in Film who was being chased was not too stupid. He knew that Chen and Feng Qingyu were there to help, so he immediately hid behind them.
"Wait...you are the Arknights team that participated in the auditions and won the prize on TV? Oh my god, I met the dark horse of the Grand Prix! This is so exciting!"
The man's face was filled with excitement and enthusiasm.
"Can you give me an autograph, Ms. Chen? I admire you very much after watching the Grand Prix. Your graceful figure and beautiful face left a very deep impression on me."
Chen was speechless. It was already this late, and this guy didn't even have his life in hand, but he was already thinking about asking for an autograph.
"Stop arguing, I have to hold these guys off."
What happened next was no surprise as Chen faced off against a dozen thugs armed with sticks. Most of the thugs had never practiced martial arts since childhood and relied on brute force to fight. Chen seemed inferior to them and the outcome would be clear once the fight started.
In Feng Qingyu's opinion, Chen's fighting ability and skills are getting stronger and stronger, and are improving every year. If he continues like this, he will always be the loser.
The difference in fighting power is too great, plus there's a gap in positions, won't he definitely be on the receiving end?
"Damn it, I'm so unwilling... Why don't I have a golden finger?"
While Chen was complaining to himself, he knocked down more than a dozen people. Those guys lay on the ground wailing, and from time to time they uttered a gentle and easy-going Bolivarian curse.
They knew they couldn't beat Chen, and continuing to fight would only result in losses, so they uttered a harsh word.
"Just wait for me!"
After the threats were made, the thugs helped each other out, and the male film who was chased and beaten was temporarily safe. But it was only temporary. If the problem could not be solved fundamentally, such incidents would continue.
Feng Qingyu showed an expression of envy and helplessness. He envied Chen's martial arts skills, and at the same time felt inferior to his own weak fighting ability.
Finally, I would like to sigh that the people who were being chased by a group of thugs were really lucky.
This happens every day in Longmen. There are also many legally operated casinos in Longmen. The huge profits of the casinos tempt others to join in and share the cake, thus giving rise to countless illegal small casinos hidden in dark corners.
Once they couldn't pay back the money they owed to illegal casinos, they would be beaten up at best, or their hands would be chopped off in more serious cases, and most of the time they were beaten to death by thugs, leaving their bodies on the streets. She had several younger brothers who were addicted to gambling. They were not bad people, but they couldn't quit gambling. Not only did their wives run away with their children, but they also angered their elderly parents who depended on each other to death.
Dosores not only did not prohibit gambling, but also encouraged people to gamble. Feng Qingyu felt that the mayor was an abnormal person. An abnormal person personally created an abnormal city that was tainted with his own aura. There was nothing wrong with that.
Chen put away the high-pressure water gun without getting himself wet, and his finishing moves were also very beautiful.
"Well, I drove all those people away."
Feilin crawled out from under the car and rubbed his head. His face was covered in blood, his short-sleeved floral shirt was torn and tattered, with blood stains on it, a few bruises on his face, and more scars on his arms, but overall he was fine.
He calmed himself down and took several deep breaths before he cleared his mind and regained his composure.
"Thank you both for saving me, ahem...if it weren't for you, I would have died on the street."
Chen snorted coldly and stuffed him with the Band-Aid he always carried with him.
"If you knew you were going to die, you shouldn't gamble next time and save the money to do something legitimate. You can come here for vacation, but don't get addicted to gambling. Others won't be as nosy as I am."
Her words seemed harsh, but they actually contained concern and kindness.
When Feng Qingyu was a gangster who sneaked into the casino and wanted to get close to the boss, he relied on gambling with people day and night. If he didn't gamble, he couldn't attract the attention of the target person, and the mission couldn't be carried out.
The previous undercover mission failed, not only did he lose hundreds of thousands of dollars, he was also nearly beaten to death.
When it came to Feng Qingyu, he became very adept at it and even became close friends with the casino owner. When Chen led the special inspection team to crack down on illegal gambling dens, Feng Qingyu was "invited" to the Guard Bureau for tea as an accomplice, and Chen said something similar to her.
Things are unpredictable, and now it’s my turn to persuade others to get ashore.
Feng Qingyu and Chen Hao tried to persuade him, but the man didn't listen to a word he said. He took out his wallet and counted the money he had, and found that he had enough money to start a game.
He prepared to tidy himself up and go to another casino to continue gambling, waiting for a turnaround.
"But, ladies...if I don't gamble, what's the point of me coming here? It's so hard to make money, and the wages for each working hour are pitifully low. Several people who came here at the same time as me became rich overnight in the casino, bought houses and cars in Dos Solès, and have beautiful women to accompany them every day. And what about me? I'm still a wage earner with nothing. This is not fair!"
Even after experiencing the tragic incident where his life was hanging by a thread, the passion for gambling in this Filin's eyes remained unextinguished.
"Thank you for saving my life. If I become rich, I will definitely reward you handsomely. Goodbye. I'm going to continue gambling."
The embarrassed young man left without looking back and went straight into another casino on the street.
The casino staff was very experienced and immediately said, "Sir, our casino will provide each guest with 500,000 yuan in gambling funds, and you can pay it back in one lump sum if you win..."
