Trafford’s Trading Club

For her, life has always seemed very simple...or rather, unchanged. ggaa

on duty off duty. Smile, silence...go home.

For Zhao Ru, if she could use a color to describe her life, it would be the color of the wall that has been there for decades.

But apparently she is also a very particular person.

In this rented place of less than ten square meters, you can see exquisite details everywhere. The wallpaper that I had re-upholstered, the floor that was old-fashioned but spotless, and the iron windows that looked rusty but didn't make a squeaking sound when pushed open.

It seems that the walls of this small single room also have many pits and pits left over from disrepair, but they have been covered up with some simple decorations.

At this moment, she is cooking for herself. There is no so-called kitchen here, but if you put some thought into it, you can still separate a space for cooking.

But while she was chopping vegetables, she suddenly heard a knock on the door... Theoretically, no one should come back to look for her at this lunch time.

"Are you...Mr. Ma?"

When he opened the door and saw one of the students from the cram school, Zhao Ru was obviously a little surprised. Two days ago, she also learned about Mr. Ma's other identity.

Yes, she knew his identity. Two days ago, he brought a team of police officers to the cram school with a search warrant.

"Oh...it's Officer Ma." Zhao Ru opened her door completely, "Excuse me, what's the matter?"

But obviously, she didn't consider letting the police officer who had come to the cram school undercover to get started...before the other party made such a request.

"That's right, we still have a few questions to ask Miss Zhao." Ma Houde said with a slight smile.

But as a seasoned police officer, he had already felt that the other party was vaguely defensive.

His eyes passed by Zhao Ru... The space inside was not big, so he easily saw the corner of a suitcase placed on the ground... It seemed to be open.

Mahou De said calmly: "Are you cooking? Did I disturb you?"

"Oh...it's okay." Zhao Ru nodded, subconsciously reaching out and gently grabbing the necklace pendant around her neck.

An ordinary, simple and rough black crystal pendant.

Ma Houde suddenly became a little absent-minded, and subconsciously pinched his eyebrows, feeling as if he was a little tired.

Zhao Ru then continued: "Anyway, I'm just a person... I wonder if Officer Ma has any other questions he wants to ask? I remember that when you came last time, I had already given a more detailed answer... Yes. Is there anything I missed?"

"Is it convenient to go in?" Ma Houde suddenly asked.

Zhao Ru said calmly: "Please wait a moment, I have to clean up the room."

"I understand, I'll wait." Mahoude nodded. This small single room rented by a single woman, I imagine there is a lot of content in it.

Of course, Ma felt that it was better for him to avoid it.

Zhao Ru closed the door and opened it again soon after, but asked Ma Houde to take off his shoes... She was obviously a girl who loved to be clean, Ma thought subconsciously.

The suitcase was obviously no longer on the ground, but closed and placed against the wall.

"Miss Zhao Ru, how long have you lived alone?"

"Officer Ma, do I have to answer this kind of question?"

"It's okay, I'm just asking out of curiosity." Ma Houde shrugged, "Well... that's it, Miss Zhao, our police are looking for Dai Youcai. I don't know if he has looked for you in the past two days, or whether you have I haven't heard any news about him. Don't get me wrong, we are not doubting you, we are just telling you as usual. After all, you are considered an acquaintance of him."

Zhao Ru was stunned and let go of the pendant he had been playing with. After thinking for a moment, he shook his head and said, "Boss Dai? I don't know. I'm not very familiar with him. Besides, I'm just a front desk worker. How could this be possible?" Familiar with the big boss.”

Ma Houde nodded, "Well, I'm just here to inform you. Miss Zhao, if you have any news, please call us immediately."

Zhao Ru then smiled and said: "I know, Officer Ma... By the way, I forgot to pour you tea."

"Oh, it's okay." Mahoude said casually: "I'm leaving now, and I have to go somewhere else. I just happened to pass by, so I came up to take a look... So, excuse me."

"I'll take you out." Zhao Ru nodded with a smile.

…

After Mahou De went downstairs, he quickly walked to the oncoming car.

As soon as we got in the car, the young police officer in charge of driving asked curiously: "Ma, have you noticed anything?"

Mahoude frowned and said, "Before I entered, I saw her suitcase open, and then put it away when I entered. This woman's home is very clean, so there is no need to deliberately clean it up to prevent me from entering. Well... ...Zhao Ru may want to leave, so please call back and have someone check the records at all stations and airports."

"I see."

Ma Houde glanced at the rearview mirror on the side of the car, then pointed to the front and said: "You drive the car in front and go around in a circle and then come back. Let's get out of the car and ask people nearby who know Zhao Ru. This woman is still staring at us."

"It seems there is something wrong with being so careful." The young police officer also took a look in the rearview mirror.

Ma suddenly pinched his eyebrows and shook his head.

"Ma, are you tired?" the young police officer joked: "Could it be that the comrades who were staring at this provincial bureau today are trapped?"

I have been following Ma Houde for some time. I wonder what little tricks Ma has made when he rarely opens the curtains in his office?

"There's so much nonsense, let's drive!" Mahoude rubbed his eyes and said impatiently.

The car didn't drive very far, but the young police officer suddenly said: "Hey, Ma, is that the son of Brother Luo you often talk about?"

Mahou De took a look and found that he really saw Luo Qiu... Luo Qiu was carrying a bag of things and sitting alone at the bus stop facing the street.

"Wait for me for a while." Mahoude got out of the car.

…

When he felt someone patting him on the back, Luo Qiu took off his headphones and turned his head with a surprised expression: "Uncle Ma, why are you here?"

"Oh... I happened to pass by while working on a case. When I saw you, I came over to call you." Mahoude smiled and said, "It's you, why are you here? You don't have to go to class?"

"There are no classes today." Luo Qiu said casually: "I heard that there is a good fruit market nearby, so I came over to buy some fresh durians."

Ma Houde sat down and laughed and said: "No wonder I can smell the fragrance from afar. Well, Zi Ling likes to eat durian the most. You are interested."

"Don't you also like to eat?"

Luo Qiu said softly, and took out a box of durians that had been peeled and packaged from the bag. "We are still working on the case at this point. I probably haven't eaten yet. Eat something."

"I'm not welcome!"

Ma Houde happily took the box, opened it, picked up a piece and ate it without thinking, "Yeah! Sweet! Fragrant! I'll buy one later too!"

Ma showed a satisfied look, stretched and said: "Well, I feel energetic all of a sudden. I was a little dizzy just now! You are really hungry, right? Luo Qiu, you really deserve this food." timely!"

He felt as if he had just taken a shower, and suddenly he felt refreshed. The fatigue and even nausea he felt in the car suddenly disappeared.

"Yeah, that's good."

Luo Qiu smiled, stood up and said, "The car is here, I'll leave first."

"Oh, come to my house for dinner when you have time! Make sure your aunt makes you your favorite braised lion head!"

In the car, before closing the door, Boss Luo just turned around and nodded gently.

…

…

"Ma, we have even asked Zhao Ru's landlord. This woman doesn't have many friends. She basically doesn't go out except for work. It seems that no one has seen her have a boyfriend."

"Here we also asked Xiao Liu, another receptionist at the cram school. Zhao Ru hardly talks about personal matters during working hours. She works very seriously. She often stays after get off work to complete some receptionist tasks."

"We checked the street video near the apartment where Zhao Ru lives and found that she went out on the night of the 2nd, 17th, 20th last month, and the 6th of this month until almost twelve o'clock. It’s time to come back.”

When he heard this, Ma Houde was stunned and said: "2nd, 17th? 20th? 6th of this month?"

"Yes, these are the times when several students fell from the building. They match perfectly!"

At the same time, a police officer hurried over and said directly: "Ma, we found it. This Zhao Ru did buy a train ticket to Yunnan. But when we checked her ID card records I found out that she was not born in Yunnan. She has no relatives in Yunnan."

"When did you buy it?"

"Three days ago."

"Isn't this... the day we take the cram school?" Mahoude frowned: "When will we leave?"

"The car leaves at five this afternoon, and there's still... less than seventy minutes!" The police officer frowned and said, "Ma, what do you think we should do?"

Ma Houde immediately stood up and said: "What should I do? Just find any excuse to intercept the person first! It really saves her from running away, and it will be a lot of trouble to find her in the future! I bought the train ticket to leave that day, this woman The suspicion is getting bigger and bigger! I'm afraid he did something bad."

Ma Houde didn't even smoke cigarettes at this moment. He just felt that since he ate a box of durian at noon, he felt energetic all over his body, and he is still full of energy to this day.

The people from the bureau quickly prepared their cars and were ready to set off. Wang Yuechuan, who stayed in this department, just glanced at it indifferently, then made no movement and still sat alone in the conference room.

He took out a mobile blackboard and pasted a lot of photos on it, drawing intricate lines and thinking about something.

…

Before getting into the car, Ma secretly made a phone call.

"Hey, wife? I shouldn't be back for dinner tonight... have you made soup? I'll come back later and make sure you drink it all! Oh, by the way, if you have time, go to Xinfeng Road. I heard there is a fruit The market, the durians there are pretty good... I won’t say any more, I’m getting in the car.”

The horse happily rolled into the car...and drove. (To be continued.)
