The Su family was in a mess. Mrs. Su yelled and cursed, but no one paid attention to her. The Su family, father and son, were looking for someone outside, and the neighbors were also helping. The eldest sister Chen Xiaolan didn't even notice that a shoe was missing from her feet. Sitting on the threshold, looking helpless and desperate. When he saw Chen Guanlou, he burst into tears on the spot. "Yaya is missing. I saw her playing with other little girls in the afternoon. I didn't see anyone during dinner. I searched everywhere but couldn't find it. Yaya must have been taken away by Pai Huazi. I can't What should I do! It’s all my fault, I should have watched her more, it’s all my fault, I’m an incompetent mother, I lost Yaya.” Chen Guanlou hugged his eldest sister Chen Xiaolan and said, "Sister, don't cry. Even if Yaya is really taken away by the person who took the photo, I promise to find her back." "Can it really be found? A child was lost in Fangshi next door the year before last. She was also a little girl. She has not been found yet. Xiaolou, if Yaya cannot be found, what should I do? Without Yaya, How can I live?" "If you can live, everyone can live. Don't worry, I'll figure it out. I'm sure Yaya got lost during dinner time, and there's a high probability that she's still in the city. As long as she's in the city, there's a chance to find her back. That's it. Once we get to the city, I’ll make sure to get Yaya back, okay?” "My father-in-law also said that he should not have left the city at this time. My father-in-law has arranged for people to notify all the city gates. Be sure to pay attention to the new faces coming out of the city these days." "There are people from the Su family at the city gate. I'll look for someone at the Yamen. I'll definitely be able to get Yaya back." After comforting the eldest sister and asking about the clothes Yaya was wearing when she was lost, Chen Guanlou went straight out of Su's house and arranged for the jailers to help find her. He borne all the expenses required.
Lu Datou hurried to Su's house, "Is your eldest sister's child really lost? Don't worry, the old man of the Su family is working at the city gate. At this time, the traffickers should not be able to leave the city. Come on, I will take you to find someone." No one knows the situation better than him, a human trafficker who has been active in the capital for a long time.” "Thanks! At this time, it's all up to you to help." "We are all brothers. How can I say thank you? When I get back, you can invite me to drink at Zuixianglou." "It's a deal." Without any nonsense, Lu Datou took Chen Guanlou through the streets and alleys and arrived in front of a gambling house. Chen Guanlou was very puzzled and looked at Lu Datou. Lu Datou explained in a low voice: "You must not have guessed the origin of the court official of this gambling house. He is an old eunuch who came out of the palace. It is said that he was involved in various religions before entering the palace. He was also trafficked since he was a child. He was among the traffickers. He has been hiding in the city for more than ten years. No one can escape his eyes. As long as the trafficker is still in the city, it will be easy to ask Lao Chaofeng. " "If Lao Chaofeng really has any clues here, I will definitely prepare a lot of money to thank you." Chen Guanlou promised. Now it's time to compete with the traffickers. Useful clues are more valuable than anything else. As long as there are clues and follow the clues to find the person, the other person will be his benefactor. With this promise, Lu Datou felt relieved. He took Chen Guanlou into the gambling house through the back door. "I'm looking for Lao Chaofeng." "The old court doesn't see guests." "Don't!" Lu Datou quickly grabbed the gambling thug. At the same time, Chen Guanlou stretched out his hand, and a silver coin weighing five cents fell into the hands of Lu Datou. Lu Datou stuffed it into the hands of the gangster in the gambling house, "We are all old acquaintances, please help me. The child at home is lost, and I am in urgent need of ten thousand dollars." matter." The thug in the gambling house weighed the money in his hand and was quite satisfied, "Okay. I'll inform you, for the sake of being acquaintances. But I don't guarantee that Lao Chaofeng will see you." "Please tell Lao Chaofeng that we have lost a three-year-old daughter. If we can get Lao Chaofeng's help, we will be very grateful." Chen Guanlou interrupted. The gangster from the gambling house looked at the unfamiliar Chen Guanlou with some doubts in his eyes. Lu Datou said hurriedly: "This is my brother's life-long friendship. The money I owed last time was paid by my brother." Paying back money for a gambler is indeed a fateful friendship. The gangster from the gambling shop no longer hesitated and went straight to the second floor.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the gambling shop thugs appeared and waved them up to the second floor. Lao Chaofeng was willing to see them. Lu Datou took Chen Guanlou and hurriedly went up to the second floor. The wooden stairs creaked. "Lao Chaofeng is inside, you can go in by yourselves." "Thank you so much, little brother." Chen Guanlou thanked him, opened the door and entered the room. This is an accounting room decorated like a study. The bookcases are not filled with books, but account books. The three bookcases are full of account books, which look quite impressive. The room is divided into two rooms, inside and outside, separated by a circular carved lattice wooden door in the middle. A clear glance. Lao Chaofeng was sitting in the inner room, flanked by two pretty maids. The room was lit with incense, which smelled of osmanthus and smelled very good. Lu Datou looked very cautious. He walked forward and bowed, "I have met the old man. I am Lu Datou who is on duty in Tianlao. This is my good brother Chen Guanlou, who is also on duty in Tianlao." "The surname is Chen? Could it be the Chen from Pingjiang Marquis Mansion?" "Young man Chen Guanlou has met the old man." Chen Guanlou gave a junior salute, "It is the Chen from Pingjiang Marquis Mansion, but he was in the fifth server in the previous generation." "I've heard of you." Lao Chaofeng was very old, with a skinny body and wrinkles on his face. He looked like an old man whose days were short, with a woolen blanket covering his legs in the summer. However, Chen Guanlou saw that Lao Chaofeng was actually a fourth-grade warrior. He was at the peak of fourth-grade and could break through to fifth-grade at any time. He didn't dare to be careless in the slightest. There was so much excitement tonight. First he was forced by two third-grade peak warriors, and now he met a hidden boss. As expected, there are hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the capital city. Never be arrogant. "They say Tianlao has a scholar who is very particular about his work. I'm talking about you, I guess." "Thanks to the old man for remembering me, I just acted according to the rules of Tianlao." Chen Guanlou's eyes drooped slightly, looking humble and respectful. It is the respect of the younger generation for the elders, and it is also the respect of the weak for the strong. "There are not many people who can do things according to the rules these days. I think back on the days when I was working as an errand in the palace, and it was only by following the rules that I could survive to the age I am now. You are very good!" "The old man is ridiculous." Chen Guanlou opened his mouth, wanting to mention something serious. Unexpectedly, the other party raised his hand in vain and lowered it, indicating that he didn't need to say anything. "I already understand what happened to you. The gang of photographers are getting more and more despicable. However, the photographers your children encountered are probably a group of out-of-towners." Chen Guanlou looked puzzled, "I dare to ask the old man, what is a foreigner?" "The so-called out-of-towners are people who pass through the capital and do a job. Most of these people operate as a gang from their families or from the same village." "May I ask, does the old man have any definite information?" Chen Guanlou asked nervously. Lao Chaofeng chuckled, "My news has not gone wrong so far."
