Hong Kong Variety Show: From Little Brother to Big Boss

Chapter 527: Guarding the Box and Waiting for the Dog

"I also want to go home and build a new house, so that those guys in the village who look down on others can see that I, Wang, have finally made it big!" Wang Jiawei also echoed.

As the conversation started, even the usually taciturn Zhang Hailin spoke up: "I, I want to send some money to my mother so that she can live a good life."

Seeing the smiles on everyone's faces completely dispelling all his previous greed, Zhang Zihao once again affirmed his choice. Teammates who care about their families are worthy of trust!

"Okay, once this storm is over and I get my share of the money, I'll take you back to my hometown and let you enjoy life."

Clapping his hands, Zhang Zihao said in a somewhat heroic tone, "But before that, you need to strictly abide by the rules I set!"

Hearing this, everyone nodded, with determination glittering in their eyes.

As the air conditioner was installed, a cool breeze blew out from the room, and everyone felt refreshed. They laughed loudly to celebrate this rare coolness.

However, this harmony did not last for more than half an hour before it was broken by the noisy sound coming from downstairs.

Zhang Zihao looked at Liang Hui: "Ah Hui, go down and see what's going on!"

Everyone waited in the house for a while, Liang Hui quickly ran back to the room, sighed "It's still more comfortable inside the house", and began to report the news he had heard.

It turned out that Uncle Nan's granddaughter and a little boy named Luo Zhenfa from the clinic were missing.

The time we disappeared was after lunch.

Because other children who often played together told the adults that they played together before lunch started.

Zhang Zihao stood in front of the window, staring intently at the two anxious adults downstairs.

In the 1980s, although most people were not rich at the time, the trend of trafficking in children had gradually emerged due to the influence of the older generation's idea of ​​continuing the family line.

In the 1990s, as the law explicitly stipulated that human traffickers would not be punished with the death penalty, child trafficking incidents began to intensify and eventually evolved into human trafficking.

As a man who has seen the world, Zhang Zihao naturally knows what the four words "missing child" mean.

One of the two missing children was his 'friend', but reason reminded him that he should not get involved.

So, after watching at the window for a while, he retreated back to the hall in silence.

"Brother Hao, I want to go down and help. I have eaten Cuicui's biscuits." Xu Zhihua touched his nose awkwardly, and the reason for eating the biscuits seemed to be told to himself.

Zhang Zihao took a deep breath, frowned, and weighed in his mind whether he would get into trouble.

Seeing the anticipation in the eyes of other accomplices, and remembering that the Hong Kong police had not issued a wanted warrant for him and others, he finally nodded slowly in agreement.

However, he did not let Xu Zhihua act alone, but divided them into groups of five. He reminded everyone to supervise each other and keep their mouths shut, and then he personally led everyone downstairs.

In Luojia Community, rapid and loud shouts echoed over the community one after another.

The big tree where the elderly in the community used to gather has lost its former liveliness and is now exceptionally deserted.

"Uncle Nan, I heard that Cuicui is missing. My brothers and I are Cuicui's good friends after all. If you don't mind, we would like to help find her!"

Zhang Zihao and his group came to Uncle Nan in a threatening but polite manner, with a barely perceptible concern in his words.

Uncle Nan, who was anxiously searching back and forth in the community at the moment, stopped when he heard Zhang Zihao's words, looked up at the group of young people, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then gratitude.

"No, no. Ah Hao, I'm really grateful that you can come to help. Cuicui... She is usually very obedient and has never been like this before. I'm really scared..."

Uncle Nan's voice was a little choked, and he was obviously extremely anxious.

Zhang Zihao patted Uncle Nan's shoulder to comfort him: "Uncle Nan, don't worry, Cuicui and Xiaofa are both our friends. We will do our best to find them."

After Uncle Nan calmed down a little, Zhang Zihao asked him about the two children's situation in detail.

Including their usual activities, where they went after lunch, and the time and circumstances when their friends last saw them.

After understanding everything, Zhang Zihao pondered for a moment, then instructed Ma Shangzhong: "You guys, search along the places where the two children like to go."

"Uncle Nan, you and other uncles should search the houses in the community to see if the child is too playful and sneaked into someone else's house to play hide-and-seek and fell asleep."

He said this very tactfully. After all, he would have to stay in this Luojia community for a while.

"As for my team, we will search a wider area." Zhang Zihao distributed the tasks in a clear and orderly manner, causing Uncle Nan and the old men around to look at him sideways.

Luojia Community had only seen Zhang Zihao and others before, but was not familiar with them. It was not until Uncle Nan begged everyone for help that they began to take action.

However, before everyone took action, Zhang Zhihao fixed his eyes on Tu Gou and asked his elder brother Wang Hai why he had not seen him.

After learning that he was still sleeping because he got off work too late, Zhang Zihao did not continue to ask, but took the four people behind him and left the community.

With the retired grandfather and Uncle Nan leading the team, the house search went smoothly.

They just checked for possible hiding places and did not rummage through drawers and cabinets. The residents in the community were happy to give face to these old men, not to mention that there was a doctor among them.

On the other side, Ji Xiong, who couldn't hide his secrets, saw Zhang Zihao leading the way without looking away, and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Hao, aren't you looking for someone? It seems like your purpose is very clear?"

"Could it be that you have started kidnapping children without telling us?"

Zhang Zihao couldn't help but feel upset after hearing these words, and was speechless.

"Did you get kicked in the head by a donkey? I've been with you guys the whole time, so how could I have the time to kidnap a kid?"

Zhang Zihao changed the subject and said, "This road leads to Wang Hai and Tu Gou's home. The two children disappeared without any sound, so it's obvious that the crime was committed by someone they know."

"But Tu Gou is also helping to find people! Could it be that Wang Hai and the others did this?"

Zhang Zihao patted Ji Xiong on the shoulder and praised him, "This is the cleverness of Wang Hai and his team. They pulled someone out to dispel the suspicion of the residents."

As Wang Hai and Tu Gou's residence appeared in front of the five people, Zhang Zihao ordered Liang Hui and Ji Xiong to guard the hidden position at the stairs.

He took the remaining two people to the second floor of the residential building.

When they reached their destination, Zhang Zihao pointed to the mortise lock on the door and smiled at Qian Hanshou and Xu Zhihua, saying with a hint of amusement: "Tugou said his elder brother was sleeping, so he locked the room and slept there! Isn't that awesome?"

These words reminded Xu Zhihua and the other person.

Qian Hanshou took two steps forward, took out a piece of wire from his pocket, fiddled with the keyhole of the mortise lock for a few times, and the mortise lock opened with a click.

When they pushed open the door, they saw the lingering smell of cigarettes and the smell of rotten food intertwined together, which suddenly rushed into the nostrils of Zhang Zihao and the other two, making their stomachs churn and they couldn't stop dry heaving.

"Close...close...close the door. Cuicui and Xiaofa are not inside. They should be hidden somewhere else by Wang Hai." Zhang Zihao expressed his guess intermittently.

As the door was closed again, the odor in the room was successfully blocked inside, and the three people outside breathed in deep gulps of fresh air.

After locking the mortise lock again, Zhang Zihao and his two companions reunited with Liang Hui and his two companions, and hid in a restaurant not far from the community, enjoying delicious food while waiting for something.
