Chapter 442 Returned

The old Taoist returned. Lawyer An picked him up, along with the guy the old Taoist had beaten into a pig's head.

Back at the bookstore,

the old Taoist felt a sense of regret and sadness.

He had been in the detention center for so long.

Now that he was finally exonerated and back home,

there was no hot meal waiting for him,

no concerned greetings,

no tearful embraces,

no choked-up expressions of sorrow.

It seemed that

everyone was more interested in the pig's head

than in his return.

The old Taoist felt a pang in his heart.

Although he always fast-forwarded through sentimental scenes when watching melodramatic TV shows, finding them cheesy and maudlin, that was exactly what he needed now.

But soon,

he came to terms with it.

The little loli might be in trouble. Everyone was definitely worried about her, so they were suppressing their longing for him.

They were holding back the tears they would have shed upon seeing him again,

burying their longing and concern in their throats like bitter wine,

focusing on finding the little loli.

Yes,

I understand!

So,

if you want to live happily, live long, and still have the strength to help those who stumble when you're seventy,

you have to learn to rationalize things yourself.

The old Taoist sat in the corner of the bookstore,

stroking the monkey in his arms.

In truth, the bookstore's occupants weren't particularly enthusiastic about the old Taoist's return, let alone offering comfort.

It wasn't a matter of coldness or neglect.

If any family had an elder,

in their seventies or eighties,

going out to solicit prostitutes,

and getting into trouble because he went for seconds,

they'd probably resent the old man, right?

So embarrassing!

Moreover, saving the old Taoist had caused quite a stir. Everyone had been decent enough to him.

Besides, the people at the Anti-Theft Bookstore had already known about the old Taoist's case being overturned for some time, so they weren't paying much attention to it. As a result, when the old Taoist returned, everyone just nodded as a formality.

It was as if the old Taoist had just gone to Aunt Wang's next door to buy a bottle of soy sauce.

In addition, there was another reason,

which was that at this moment,

there was a more serious matter that needed everyone's attention.

Zhou Ze sat on the bench in the private room,

sitting like a warlord,

with Bai Yingying standing beside him and the dead servant behind him.

Xu Qinglang leaned against the door, looking inside.

Lawyer An grabbed the driver's neck, pressing him down on the small square table.

The small square table was specially used by the bookstore to serve the last meal for the souls of the dead in hell.

It was spotless,

but it had an indelible musty smell,

a smell that couldn't be washed away.

The driver struggled to lift his head, looking around.

He felt like he had been dragged into a triad den.

It was pretty much the same idea. Lawyer An didn't call the police or notify Zhang Yanfeng, but directly brought the person back, which was also an indication that the bookstore would handle this matter.

In the past, some matters were handled by the police, with the bookstore helping in the dark, which was meddling in other people's business. But this time, someone from the bookstore had gone missing, so there was no need to worry about procedural justice.

When someone bullies you at your doorstep,

why bother with rules and regulations?

"Where did that girl go?"

Lawyer An asked.

The driver didn't speak. He seemed to be hesitating.

Lawyer An was straightforward and didn't ask a second time. He pinched the other party's ear with his left hand and twisted it!

"Crack…………"

The ear was torn off.

The driver opened his mouth, wanting to scream in pain, but Lawyer An pointed a finger directly at the other party's jaw, preventing him from making a sound. He could only open his mouth wide, his expression extremely painful and distorted.

"Answer."

The scene

was a little bloody.

Blood splattered everywhere,

staining the small square table red,

and many blood spots fell on the floor tiles.

The dead servant licked his lips, a little excited.

Zhou Ze continued to sit, silent.

Xu Qinglang pretended to stretch, glancing his head to the outside. He still couldn't stand this kind of scene.

Especially Lawyer An at this time, who looked more like an experienced executioner.

"The second ear?"

Lawyer An asked.

The driver immediately nodded, indicating that he wanted to speak.

Lawyer An released his finger.

"She was kidnapped, kidnapped."

"Ah…………"

A scream stopped abruptly as the second ear was torn off.

Similarly,

he was still choking the other party's throat, preventing him from making a sound.

The little loli was kidnapped by human traffickers?

Are you kidding me?

She's a ghost messenger!

It would be nice if she didn't kidnap people. How could she be kidnapped?

Still not telling the truth?

I checked the surveillance cameras at the internet cafe across the street. The little loli got into his car.

Her disappearance must be related to this guy!

In Lawyer An's opinion, it might be some force, or a mastermind behind the scenes, etc. In short, he had countless thoughts. A force that dared to attack a ghost messenger must not be simple.

Lawyer An's hand began to move down,

"Tell the truth, or…………"

"She was trafficked away, I personally caught her, I personally caught her. In my phone's address book, his name is Lu Laosan, I've already given her to him…………"

Lawyer An hesitated a little, and looked at Zhou Ze sitting opposite him.

Zhou Ze nodded,

meaning it didn't seem like a lie.

If a man,

in a precarious situation,

could still stubbornly tell lies,

it would be too great.

Zhou Ze believed that there were many heroic martyrs who could remain silent and unyielding when faced with enemy torture,

but could the trafficker in front of him be related to martyrs?

That would be blasphemy against the martyrs.

Lawyer An also nodded,

grabbed and yanked,

the man's body twitched directly,

shook,

and fainted.

Zhou Ze stood up,

and reached out to Lawyer An,

"When I do things, I pursue the details."

Watching the two men squatting together, pointing at that thing,

Xu Qinglang couldn't help it and covered his mouth, wanting to throw up.

Lao Xu's resistance is actually very strong,

but this scene was really disgusting, unbearable.

Especially when he saw Zhou Ze reaching out and poking it lightly,

damn it,

Xu Qinglang's stomach churned,

immediately bent over,

and threw up.

"Lao Xu, what are you doing?" Zhou Ze walked over curiously, patted Xu Qinglang on the shoulder, and asked with concern: "Are you okay? Not feeling well."

Xu Qinglang immediately took several steps back, his head hitting the door frame of the private room.

Zhou Ze smiled and clapped his hands.

Lawyer An also clapped his hands.

In the private room,

the driver was still unconscious, but the bloody scene in the private room had all disappeared, and the driver's two ears were still intact.

That thing

was also gone.

"Illusion?"

Xu Qinglang asked in confusion.

"Huh? What do you think? Did you really think we'd make a mess here?"

Zhou Ze turned around and looked at Lawyer An,

"But Lawyer An's illusion is sharp enough to simulate that thing so vividly."

This shows that

Lawyer An understands very thoroughly what every position of that part looks like.

Who would normally observe and study that thing for no reason? Not to mention sketching his own greatness in front of a mirror.

"Let's check on the person first. This guy doesn't seem to be lying, which means that Lin Ke was really kidnapped by human traffickers." Lawyer An still couldn't believe it. What tricks was Lin Ke playing? "First determine the location of that Lu Laosan. This guy should have come to check out the crime scene to see if the police were taking action.

Lin Ke should be in the hands of that Lu Laosan now."

The result was absurd.

Rescuing a ghost messenger from human traffickers,

it felt like rescuing a tiger from a flock of sheep.

"This person, lock him up in the bookstore first."

Zhou Ze pointed to the dead servant who was standing on the side and enjoying the show,

"You take care of him, don't let him escape. Also, give him some trouble, but don't kill him."

The dead servant immediately nodded,

looked at the unconscious driver, and subconsciously licked his lips.

For human traffickers,

Boss Zhou had no compassion.

He just didn't want to dirty his hands by killing him directly.

Zhou Ze seemed to have thought of something, walked out of the private room, and shouted to the old Taoist who was sitting there with a worried look on his face, catching fleas for the monkey:

"Old Taoist, you're back."

"…………" The old Taoist.

The old Taoist blinked hard, squeezing out some tears from his eyes, put down the monkey, and pounced over.

The emotions had been brewing for too long,

and now he could finally express them.

"Boss, your loyal old Taoist is back!"

Speaking,

the old Taoist wanted to hug Zhou Ze with tears and snot.

Zhou Ze took two steps back, dodging the old Taoist.

The old Taoist cried and continued to walk forward,

wanting a hug!

However,

after seeing the nails growing on Zhou Ze's right hand,

the old Taoist immediately stopped,

looking at Zhou Ze with a mournful expression.

"Did you also take a taxi?" Zhou Ze pointed to the driver who had been beaten into a pig's head in the private room.

The little loli should have taken this person's car when she went back in the morning,

and was kidnapped,

but what about the old Taoist?

Were they also planning to abduct him?

Abduct a skinny old man in his seventies or eighties?

What kind of freak taste would the buyer have?

"No, I didn't take a taxi. I was eating with a friend in a restaurant. He introduced me, and I just took his car back."

The old Taoist explained,

"By the way, what happened to Lin Ke? Why is her summer homework in this person's car?"

"She was kidnapped."

"Kidnapped?"

The old Taoist immediately laughed,

"Hahahahaha, she was kidnapped? Hahahahaha!!!!"

The old Taoist held his stomach and laughed,

then saw that no one around him was laughing,

so he reached out and wiped the tears from his laughter,

and cautiously asked:

"She really was kidnapped, not joking?"

Zhou Ze nodded.

"This…………"

Suddenly,

a picture flashed in the old Taoist's mind,

that was the scene of this driver carrying a sack and sending it to the driver's old man's van.

Hiss…………

Damn,

did I just get out of prison and run to have three or five bottles with the traffickers like brothers?
