The three of them were all taken aback.
Chu Xiao's eyes showed a hint of impatience, and Yang Lianhai opened his mouth in surprise.
Wang Yaobei looked up to ask Chu Xiao for his opinion, but before he could get a result, he heard a clear "Hello" from the other end. He opened his mouth and slowly replied, "Hello, I'm looking for your grandfather."
"?"
Wu Yue, who received the call from an unknown number, tilted her head and thought for a few moments. "I'm sorry, I don't have a grandfather. If you want to find him, you may have to go underground."
"Hahaha, Yueyue, who are you talking to on the phone? That's weird."
"I don't know, it's really strange."
For a moment, the three members of the criminal investigation team felt a sense of shame, as if they had been scorned.
"Um, I wanted to ask..."
"Wu Yue, ahhh, how do I do this problem?! I've been looking at it for ages and I still can't figure out how to solve it. It's so hard, it's insulting my intelligence."
The girl pointed her slender finger above the problem and said softly, "Use the second equation I just taught you."
"Okay~" Song Wenzhi understood immediately and drifted away with a very pleasant expression.
"Hello? Is there anything I can help you with? If not, I'll hang up now."
Wang Yaobei looked at his boss, seeking help. Chu Xiao shook his head and gestured for him to continue asking.
So Wang Yaobei immediately changed his question, "It's like this, I'm looking for the owner of this phone number."
Wu Yue paused, genuinely confused about what this person wanted to do. However, guided by the core socialist values, she politely replied, "That's me, please speak."
Holy crap! This isn't just a charlatan, she's a high school charlatan?!
Wang Yaobei was slightly dumbfounded.
Chu Xiao beckoned, and Wang Yaobei handed him the phone.
"I am Chu Xiao, the captain of the city's criminal investigation team."
Wu Yue realized that she was talking to a different person again, and she lowered her long eyelashes: "Hello."
"What's your name?" Only after getting his name could they properly question the old man about the kind of people he recommended. Have charlatans started in high schools now? Poisoning the flowers of our nation? This is going too far!
The girl frowned slightly. "Mr. Chu, please speak frankly. I'm afraid I don't have much free time to chat with you all."
Yang Lianhai: "..." Girls these days speak very frankly and directly.
Being told that by a girl made Chu Xiao feel a little annoyed.
He straightened his posture and got straight to the point: "We were introduced by Captain Liu Qinghou. You helped with Lei Hengshan's case, right?"
"I helped you with a small favor, is there any problem?"
"Young man, are you in Beijing? Are you aware of the recent spate of bizarre disappearances in the capital? Our Criminal Investigation Team..."
"Uncle Wu asked me to investigate the missing persons case, about that girl named Shi Yimeng. Wu Yue, I need you."
After Yan Chiyu finished talking with Wu Cunxu, he came in through the corridor and naturally started talking to his deskmate. Only after he finished speaking did he notice that Wu Yue was on the phone.
He shut his mouth and didn't say anything more.
The girl pointed to her phone, a hint of helplessness in her eyes: "Most likely, we can check them together."
Chu Xiao vaguely overheard their conversation. It was nearly nine o'clock, and the sky outside was pitch black; he wouldn't be so heartless as to invite a child out so late to discuss a case.
After thinking for a moment, I said, "Your phone number is your WeChat ID, right? I'll add you on WeChat later. Send me your address, and I'll pick you up tomorrow. We can discuss the case and your friend together."
He'd already said it all, what could Wu Yue say? Out of respect for her cousin, she agreed. Maybe… there would even be a generous reward?
