Early the next morning, before daybreak, Yao Mu took several of his men and left the port city on a fishing boat, heading for Haojiang.
In fact, he doesn't need to be so anxious. After all, he had dealt with Juanmao Kang last night, and the distribution channel promised to Bai Cunbao had been completed. Today, Juanmao Kang would naturally take the initiative to hand over to Bai Cunbao.
But, this was not his own business after all. What he was more concerned about now was how to obtain the intelligence on several Portuguese officers stationed in Haojiang that Hong Yitang needed.
Because Curly Kang had already provided intelligence on a company commander last night, he now only needed to collect intelligence on several other officers so that he could take the initiative and show off in front of General Fang.
When a red sun emerged from the sea level, the fishing boat that Yao Mu was on also docked at the pier of Haojiang River. This was just an ordinary fishing pier with a number of fishing boats parked scattered on the pier. There were also fishermen on the pier selling fresh fish caught overnight.
The arrival of Yao Mu and others was very low-key, and no one came to greet them at the dock. They quickly blended into the crowd at the dock and took many turns to arrive at a tenement building on an unknown street.
"Sir, this is it!"
Yao Mu stood downstairs, looked up at the three-story street-side building, then turned around and looked around. He found that it was still early and there were few pedestrians around, and not many people noticed their arrival.
"Knock!"
...
...
"Yes, sir!"
Soon, a plainclothes police officer from the crowd came downstairs and gently knocked on the side door. After three or four knocks, a young woman's voice was heard from inside the room.
“Who is it?”
"Hello! Is this Miss Cai? We are from Hong Kong City. Uncle Xin asked us to bring something to you."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of a door opening was heard from inside. Seeing this, the surrounding police officers quickly moved towards the door.
Just as the door opened, without waiting for the woman inside to come out, a group of police officers squeezed in through the crack of the door.
The woman let out a terrified scream, but the sound stopped abruptly just halfway through. Obviously, the woman had been controlled.
Soon, two muffled groans were heard from upstairs, and then it fell into silence. Yao Mu followed the police officers slowly, opened the door and walked upstairs.
There were several police officers scattered around just now, but in the blink of an eye, only one police officer was left who was responsible for guarding downstairs.
After all, this is Haojiang, not Hong Kong. The Hong Kong police have no law enforcement power here, so these police officers have no choice but to be extra careful.
Arriving at the room on the second floor, Yao Mu nodded to a young woman who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, looking at everyone with horror, and to an older middle-aged woman, then slowly sat down opposite them.
After looking the young woman up and down, he smiled warmly and said:
"I guess you are Miss Cai! Don't be nervous, we are not bad people. My name is Yao Mu, and I am a police officer from Gangcheng. I am visiting you today because I have a case that requires Miss Cai's cooperation."
The woman was obviously stunned when she heard this. She originally thought she had encountered robbers, but she didn't expect the other party to tell her that they were police officers. After looking around suspiciously, she didn't seem to be as scared as before. She looked at Yao Mu with some concern and said:
"Did my dad do something wrong? We have nothing to do with him. My mom has been divorced from him for many years. We don't know anything about him."
The middle-aged woman also spoke repeatedly:
"I divorced that bastard a long time ago. Whatever he did is none of our business. You can't listen to his nonsense and wrongly accuse a good person."
It turned out that this woman was Miss Cai's mother.
Yao Mu heard what the two said, smiled and shook his head:
"Please rest assured, we are police officers and we must rely on evidence when doing things. This time we came here mainly to find Miss Cai to learn some information. We hope that Miss Cai can answer our questions honestly and not hide anything from us.
You two are ladies, we don't want to lose our gentlemanly manners, do you understand me?"
These obviously threatening words made the two women's faces change, and their complexions, which had just improved slightly, turned slightly pale again.
The young Miss Cai seemed to have thought of something, and her face flushed. Facing Yao Mu's slightly calm gaze, she said with a slight warning:
"I'm telling you, this is Haojiang, not Hong Kong. My man is a Portuguese officer. You'd better think about the consequences of whatever you do.
If anything happens to me, my man will never let you go."
Hearing this, Yao Mu smiled slightly and looked at the young Miss Cai carefully again. To be honest, this woman was not pretty. She was dark and thin, with prominent cheekbones, thin lips, and a naturally mean look. She was 70% similar to his mother.
"Oh! Miss Cai married a Portuguese officer? But why didn't I see your man in your house? Don't lie to me!"
This made Miss Cai's face turn slightly red, a trace of shame and anger flashed across her face, but she soon returned to normal and said again in a timid tone:
"He was on the late shift last night and will be back in half an hour! I tell you, if you leave now, you still have time!"
Upon hearing this, Yao Mu winked at a police officer behind Miss Cai. The police officer nodded knowingly, quietly left the room and walked downstairs.
"Oh! I wonder what your man's name is, and what position he holds in the Portuguese army!"
Miss Cai naturally knew that the police officer had left. After hearing Yao Mu's question, she thought that Yao Mu was scared. She felt a little proud and her eyes were no longer as fearful as before when she looked at the few people.
"I'm not lying to you. My man's name is Osborne. He is a lieutenant in the Portuguese Army and serves as the head of the logistics department of the troops stationed in Haojiang. If you hurt us, you will never be able to leave Haojiang."
Upon hearing this, Yao Mu smiled and faced Miss Cai's warning gaze, saying:
"This Lieutenant Osborne must not be an upright officer! Otherwise, he would not be able to afford this tenement building with his income!"
Miss Cai's face suddenly turned ugly. She didn't expect that the person opposite her was not afraid just because her man was a Portuguese officer. Instead, she immediately found his handle, which made her a little confused for a while.
"Don't talk nonsense. We bought this house. It has nothing to do with my man."
After these words came out, Yao Mu's expression became more playful, and he looked at Miss Cai with a smile and said:
"Ms. Cai, are you sure you bought this house with your own money? This is different from the news we got! Uncle Xin owes a lot of foreign debt in Hong Kong City and is trying to raise funds!
If you are sure that you are buying this house yourself, I think there will be many people interested in it. "
Miss Cai's face suddenly changed when she heard this. She found that no matter what she said, she could not escape the other party's control, which made her very panicked.
His mother instantly exploded, and rushed towards Yao Mu with a yell, cursing:
"You bastard, we have nothing to do with that dead guy anymore, what does his debt have to do with us?
If you want to collect debts from him, go to Gangcheng to find him!
What a feat it is to come to Haojiang to find us!"
The police officer who had been standing behind the two women would naturally not let the woman hurt his superior. As early as when the woman wanted to rush out, the two police officers behind her stepped forward and dragged Miss Cai's mother back to the sofa, pressing her on the sofa so that she could not move.
The middle-aged woman completely exploded at this point, and screamed desperately:
"Help! Murder and robbery. Help! Bad guys are rushing in!"
This sudden change startled everyone, and Yao Mu's face turned pale in an instant. He opened his suit and put his hand on the holster on his waist.
The two policemen who were restraining the middle-aged woman quickly covered the woman's mouth with their hands, but not long after, the policemen couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.
It turned out that the woman actually bit the policeman's hand, causing blood to flow. Seeing this, another policeman was worried that he would scream again, so he took out his pistol and stuck the muzzle into the woman's mouth.
"You damn bitch, if you scream again, I'll shoot you dead."
The woman was about to continue screaming, but because he bit the policeman's hand and let the blood flow into his mouth, she couldn't help but spit out two mouthfuls of saliva. After spitting out the blood, she was about to start screaming again.
Before he could open his mouth, a cold, rusty gun barrel was thrust into his mouth. Instantly, he was like a duck being strangled by the neck, and instantly lost his voice. His eyes also began to turn into fear again.
All these changes happened so fast that Miss Cai beside her hadn't reacted yet. Everything returned to calm again. Just when she wanted to say something, she accidentally saw Yao Mu's hand touching his waist and the black gun handle exposed there.
This instantly made her suppress the urge to resist. Looking at her mother with a gun pointed at her mouth, her face was filled with fear.
He looked at Yao Mu with a slightly pleading look and said:
"Please, don't hurt my mother. You can tell me what you want, and I will give you everything I can.
Do you want money? We have money at home, upstairs, I'll get it for you! Please don't hurt us."
Yao Mu stared at her mother fiercely with cold eyes. He had never met such a shrew before, and he almost couldn't help but shoot her directly. After hearing what Miss Cai said, he knew that she was a compromise, but he was still very annoyed and shouted at the woman directly:
"Just shut up!"
After saying that, he stood up and walked to the second-floor window sill, looking at the street outside. This time they came here to keep a low profile. If the noise of this shrew's throwing a tantrum alarmed the neighbors around, they would be in a passive position.
But after watching for a while, he became a little confused. Because it was just dawn, the streets outside were not noisy, and the woman's sudden scream was naturally very piercing, and it was impossible for no one to hear it.
But after observing for a while, Yao Mu was surprised to find that although there were a few people looking over here on the street outside, no one had the intention to come over to find out what was going on. In fact, several people even spit at this side and seemed to be cursing.
After a little thought, Yao Mu had some guesses. He turned around and looked at the mother and daughter on the sofa with a strange look in his eyes. The anger in his heart slowly subsided and began to be replaced by a feeling of gloating.
"Ms. Cai, it seems that your family is not very popular among the people around you! When people heard your mother's voice, instead of coming to help, they seemed to be used to it!"
Hearing this, Miss Cai, who was originally terrified, couldn't help but turn blue and red on her face.
Seeing that Miss Cai did not answer, Yao Mu smiled awkwardly, took his hand off the gun handle, returned to the sofa and said:
"Ms. Cai, if you don't want to lose your life, you'd better cooperate with us. Our target is not you. If something like this happens again, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Yao Mu's words made Miss Cai unable to react for a while. What did he mean? He broke into my house and said that the target was not me. Then who was he? Suddenly, he seemed to understand something. His eyes widened and he looked at the other party with horror.
"You...you guys, you guys are not coming for Osborn!"
At this point, Yao Mu didn't want to continue talking nonsense with the other party, so he nodded and said:
"We have a few questions to ask him. If he cooperates, we promise not to harm your family. But if we can't get the answers we want, then we're sorry!"
I don’t know if it was Yao Mu’s words that he would not harm their family that gave Miss Cai hope of survival. She looked at Yao Mu with surprise and said:
"Really? As long as we answer your questions, you won't hurt us?"
Looking at this woman with fickle emotions, Yao Mu felt helpless, but he still needed her at this time, so he did not hide it.
Directly:
"That's right. His superior offended someone he shouldn't have offended. Now some big shots want to teach them a lesson. We want to know some dirty laundry about his superior. I think Mr. Osborne, as one of their own, should be able to give us some good advice, right?"
Miss Cai was speechless now, and couldn't help but complain directly:
"If you want to cause trouble for his superior, why don't you just go to his superior's house? Why do you have to embarrass us two women?"
Upon hearing this, Yao Mu could not help but get furious again. He grabbed the pistol at his waist again and glared at Miss Cai fiercely:
"What we do is our business. You should pray that Mr. Osborne really treats you as his woman! If you can't convince him to give us a satisfactory answer, then we can only say sorry."
Seeing Yao Mu getting angry, Miss Cai couldn't help but shrink her neck. Knowing that she had said the wrong thing, she quickly put on a flattering smile.
However, he soon realized that what Yao Mu meant was that if Osborn was unwilling to say what they wanted, he might kill them all.
This was not something she could accept. Other people's lives were not as important as his. Even Osborne's life was not as important as hers. At this moment, she couldn't help but start thinking about how to save her own life.
