Chapter 112: Young Liang Xiaorou

Soon, a young female police officer pushed the door open and entered.

"I am Liang Xiaorou, a trainee inspector of the West Kowloon Major Cases Unit. There is a missing persons case that requires your cooperation, Mr. Chen. Please come with me."

Chen Mo looked and was a bit bewildered.

What's going on? Isn't the Hong Kong media world all movies? Why are there characters from TV dramas too?

And this woman is being bold, huh? She just runs into his own office?

"Madam Liang, right? Did you just graduate from university? Do you even know where this place is?"

"What's wrong with me just graduating! As a Royal Police officer of Gangdao, I have the authority to take you back to the police station to assist the case. I hope you'll cooperate!"

Chen Mo was almost laughing in irritation.

A freshly graduated trainee inspector from the police academy runs into his own office and expects the other party to cooperate.

It's been many years since he's seen something like this.

Chen Mo originally wanted to have her kicked out, but then he thought, a missing persons case? It can't be Liu Yaozu, can it?

Could it be that his subordinates didn't clean it up and it got tangled with him?

"Madam Liang, you want me to cooperate, it's not that I can't. But at least tell me what case it is. I don't even know what it involves, how am I supposed to cooperate?"

"You'll know when you get to the police station."

Liang Xiaorou kept a cold expression, looking stern and authoritative.

Chen Mo's eyes flicked, and he nodded, "Fine, but can you wait a few minutes?"

The West Kowloon Police Headquarters sits on Chen Mo's territory on Mi Dun Dao; the officers inside can't claim they don't know what Yinhejiuba is.

Judging by Liang Xiaorou's demeanor, she's probably only been at the West Kowloon Police Station a few days, hasn't gotten along well with colleagues, and was set up.

Otherwise she wouldn't have come to him alone.

Coincidentally, Chen Mo also wanted to use this chance to contact Sandy.

Since the two of them slept together last time, Chen Mo's several attempts to meet her have been rejected.

"Li Li, find Ruby and have her help me get in touch with Lawyer Liang. If Da Dou looks for me, tell him to wait until I return."

"Also, if anyone else looks for me, tell them not to worry; whatever it is, we'll discuss when I get back."

"Alright, Mo Ge." Li Li was curious why Chen Mo was willing to go to the police station, but didn't ask further.

Chen Mo just told her to do as instructed.

After briefing Li Li, Chen Mo stood up and walked to Liang Xiaorou, "Madam, let's go. I'll cooperate with the investigation; I shouldn't need to wear handcuffs, right?"

"No need!"

Liang Xiaorou wore a proud expression, turned and walked away; Chen Mo shrugged and followed.

Just as they reached the first‑floor lobby, twenty‑some of his subordinates quickly surrounded them.

"Mo Ge!"

The chorus of greetings from the subordinates startled Liang Xiaorou.

Chen Mo waved his hand, signaling everyone to disperse.

"Madam, don't be afraid; my subordinates are very disciplined."

Liang Xiaorou had just graduated, not stupid, and now realized that Chen Mo was not the bar owner she thought. Her gaze at Chen Mo thereafter carried a hint of wariness and scrutiny.

They got into a police car and arrived at the station; Chen Mo followed Liang Xiaorou through the precinct.

The surrounding officers stared at Liang Xiaorou and Chen Mo as if they'd seen a ghost.

These officers sometimes go to Yinhejiuba after work and have seen Chen Mo to some extent.

Seeing Liang Xiaorou actually bring Chen Mo back left them jaw‑dropping shocked.

They only wanted Liang Xiaorou to suffer a setback, to curb her arrogance; who could have guessed she would really bring Chen Mo back?

In the interrogation room, Liang Xiaorou and a slightly older officer sat opposite Chen Mo.

"Mr. Chen, I am Senior Inspector Fei Gesun of the Major Cases Unit. Two nights ago, Mr. Liu Yaozu and his girlfriend Miss Mengna disappeared. A witness says they saw you at his house that night. I don't know if it's true?"

Chen Mo heard that and realized it was indeed Liu Yaozu's case.

What surprised Chen Mo was that this case had been assigned to the West Kowloon Police Headquarters.

But thinking further, although Liu Yaozu runs a casino, his public identity is that of a billionaire.

Moreover, a gunshot was heard that night, which counts as a major case on Gangdao.

Chen Mo didn't expect they would pin it on him so quickly.

"I did go to his house that night, but I never saw Liu Yaozu."

"According to the Liu household's servant, you have an ambiguous relationship with Mr. Liu Yaozu's girlfriend Mengna. Did you have an affair with Mengna, get discovered by Liu Yaozu, then kill Liu Yaozu and dispose of the body?"

Liang Xiaorou's questioning made Fei Gesun cover his face; he hadn't phrased the question clearly and ended up revealing the witness's information.

"Madam Liang, don't rush to judgment; let's proceed slowly."

"Exactly, madam. How about we let this Mr. Fei speak, and you observe from the side for now."

Chen Mo felt that the freshly graduated Liang Xiaorou was being foolish.

The current Liang Xiaorou lacked the shrewd competence of TV drama characters, possessing only a haughty arrogance.

"I won't hide from you; that night Mengna invited me for a late‑night snack. As for what happened after the snack, that's private, so I won't tell you."

In short, when I left that night, I didn't see Liu Yaozu.

That's all I have to say; believe it or not, it's up to you.

"By the way, has my lawyer arrived?"

The only people who saw Chen Mo go to Liu Yaozu's house that day were his own subordinates and that old servant.

But that old servant only knew when Chen Mo went; as for what happened afterward, she knew nothing.

Chen Mo wasn't at all worried that the police would have evidence to convict him.

Okay, Mr. Chen, we just wanted to get a sense of the situation. Now that we've understood, you can leave anytime.

I'll wait a bit longer; my lawyer hasn't arrived yet! Can I wait for my lawyer to come pick me up?

Chen Mo didn't want to leave so early; he still wanted to wait for sandy to come.

Then Mr. Chen, please sit here for a while; I'll let you know when your lawyer arrives.

Fei Gesun had a smile all over his face, showing no sign of being a Senior Inspector, and he pulled Liang Xiaorou out of the interrogation room.

"Fee sir, aren't we going to keep questioning? This Chen Mo obviously has a problem." Liang Xiaorou, who had been pulled out by Fei Gesun, looked resentful.

"Madam Liang, you just came to our police station and don't understand the situation. Do you know what identity this Chen Mo has? He's the head honcho of Great Prosperity's Wang Jiao district, he's a gangster!"

You went alone to his place today; coming back alive is already a stroke of luck—what else do you want to do?

Even if you know he has a problem, what can you do? Do you have any evidence?

After being lectured by Fei Gesun, Liang Xiaorou finally realized how rash her actions had been today.

She also recalled the scene of being surrounded by over a dozen people at the bar, and felt a lingering fear.

And Chen Mo, who was waiting for sandy in the interrogation room, hadn't yet seen sandy arrive when Huang Bingyao showed up instead.
