When the visitor saw Huo Qiqi, he immediately said happily, "Qiqi, you are back. I was not mistaken. Fortunately, I came to confirm it. Otherwise, I don't know when I will see you next time. If it weren't for Uncle Xu, you wouldn't come to Uncle Xu's house after you returned to Jing City. Your aunt has been thinking about you all the time."
Huo Qiqi scratched her head and said a little embarrassedly, "Director Xu, I just returned to Beijing and have encountered a lot of problems in the past two days. I just finished dealing with the things and you came to visit me. I was planning to go to your house to pay New Year's greetings tomorrow."
Director Xu pretended to be angry and said, "You are so distant with me, kid. Don't call me Director Xu from now on. Call me Uncle Xu. I am older than your father and I deserve to be called Uncle. Otherwise, I will be angry."
Huo Qiqi was also someone who listened to advice. Since Director Xu was interested in showing her kindness, she wasn't the type to be tactless. She nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, Uncle Xu, let's not stand outside. Please come inside and talk."
Director Xu waved his hand and said embarrassedly, "Qiqi, I won't go in. Let's talk outside. It's embarrassing to say this, but uncle came here today to ask for a favor. I want you to help me investigate a big case. Of course, this depends on your own willingness. Uncle will never force you."
Huo Qiqi was very curious and thought to herself, "What kind of case is this? Why would a police chief come here so early in the morning and ask me for help?"
Although full of doubts, Huo Qiqi remained calm on the surface. She said seriously, "Uncle Xu, please tell me what you need my help with. I'll analyze it for you."
Director Xu looked around and found that no one was eavesdropping. He lowered his voice as much as possible and said softly, "Qiqi, this is what happened. A month ago..."
After hearing Director Xu's description, Huo Qiqi finally understood what was going on.
It turned out that a group of thieves appeared out of nowhere recently. After they appeared in Beijing, they specialized in stealing from wealthy families in Beijing. Moreover, this group of thieves' whereabouts were secretive, and they always committed shocking crimes under the noses of the comrades in the police station. Now their public security bureau has taken over this case.
Ever since Director Xu took over the case, he has not been able to eat or sleep well, suffering from insomnia and anxiety all night long. Faced with so many questions from the owners and superiors, he is extremely busy and overwhelmed.
Huo Qiqi looked at Director Xu's haggard face and said sympathetically, "Uncle Xu, do you want me to help you find the thieves' gang?" Huo Qiqi guessed that this was the reason.
Director Xu had to admit that Huo Qiqi was very clever. He said helplessly, "I'm desperate and trying all sorts of methods. All the cases I solved before were solved with your help. Now I want to see if you have any good ideas. I think you have good luck."
After listening to Director Xu's words, Huo Qiqi shook her head and smiled bitterly, thinking, "I have neither good ideas nor good luck, I just have the help of the system." However, helping Director Xu would be helpful for her future business in Beijing.
"Uncle Xu, do those wealthy families that were robbed have anything in common? In other words, why did the thieves target them?" Huo Qiqi asked seriously. She wanted to find out the criteria the thieves used to select their targets.
Director Xu lowered his voice and said, "The ancestors of these robbed families were all prominent, which means they all have good family backgrounds. Although their current situation is not good, they still have some wealth. I just don't know how the thieves targeted them."
As if recalling something, Director Xu continued, "One thing these robbed families have in common is that they have a bad reputation and must have done something harmful to the world."
Huo Qiqi nodded, having formed a preliminary impression of these people. "Uncle Xu, have you figured out who they're going to steal next?"
Speaking of this, Director Xu was extremely furious and said angrily, "These thieves are too rampant. Before their recent operations, they would leave us notes to inform us of their targets. They are provoking our public security comrades. They are really rampant. Their target this time is actually an ancient tomb."
Huo Qiqi exclaimed in astonishment, "These thieves are truly audacious. They even dared to rob an ancient tomb. Furthermore, it's incomprehensible that they proactively revealed their target to the public security comrades. I feel like this isn't a provocation, but a diversionary tactic."
After listening to Huo Qiqi's analysis, Director Xu nodded in agreement and sighed, "Some of our colleagues have made the same analysis, so we've dispatched a number of personnel to guard several wealthy households, hoping to catch them in a trap."
Huo Qiqi nodded. She didn't have any good ideas at the moment, so she said to Director Xu, "Uncle Xu, why don't you go back first? I'll think of a solution and try to help you solve the case as soon as possible."
Director Xu really didn't have much time to stay here. Before leaving, he said worriedly, "Qiqi, remember, remember, don't put yourself in danger. Just do your best, and don't let anything happen to you. Otherwise, I will let your grandfather down, and your parents who sacrificed their lives for our country."
Huo Qiqi nodded and said with a smile, "Uncle Xu, don't worry, I won't put myself in danger. I'm still so young, I still want to enjoy life."
After hearing Huo Qiqi's assurance, Director Xu nodded with satisfaction and turned to leave.
This case is indeed troublesome, and Huo Qiqi has no idea for a moment?
Just as Huo Qiqi was looking around the street to see if he had found anything, a black market guy came up to him.
"Boss, I finally found you. Brother Chen Xiaoshan is in trouble. He was beaten up and is now in the hospital, receiving emergency treatment." The younger brother explained in a panic.
Huo Qiqi frowned and said coldly, "Chen Xiaoshan, how did you get injured? Have you found out the cause?"
The younger brother lowered his head and suddenly remembered something, "Boss, a group of outsiders came to us this morning and wanted to buy a large amount of supplies from us. They looked very ordinary in their clothes, but they were very generous. They gave us 10 small yellow croakers at once.
Brother Chen must have had an accident while doing business with them. I don't know if they attacked him, but he has a cut on his head that looks pretty serious."
Huo Qiqi glanced at the little brother who reported the news and said, "Go tell the other team leaders first to slow down the black market business until I have a thorough investigation and then resume it. Then hurry back to the hospital and take good care of Chen Xiaoshan. I'll check on him later. By the way, do you have any characteristics of the group you found?"
After thinking for a while, the younger brother said, "Boss, one of them has a slightly different leg length, and it looks like his right leg is injured. Oh, and there's another one with a big beard, and he speaks in a buzzing voice."
After sending her younger brother away, Huo Qiqi continued walking on the street. This time she was no longer strolling around, but looking with a purpose.
Huo Qiqi's eyes suddenly lit up because she saw a lame man in the distance walking towards the entrance of an alley, looking back every few steps.
