Looking at Sirov's confession, it was written in great detail.
He came to Donghai and cheated in the casino, but was discovered by Little Renault. After being caught and beaten up, the little Renault must have noticed that he was eloquent and handsome, so he asked him to pursue Nicole's assistant, and then report Nicole's every move to him in detail.
Of course, little Renault did not pretend to be a mysterious person, nor did he hide his identity from Sirov. After all, he was a celebrity, and Sirov would sooner or later see this young master of Renault Pictures, the operator of the Tower Restaurant, in the gossip magazines.
Moreover, the original intention might be that Reno Jr. really wanted to pursue Nicole, or it might be to monitor the rising star in his own film industry.
After all, that was two years ago, when Nicole was on the rise, but not as glorious as she is today.
Therefore, there is no need to make little Renault's behavior mysterious.
However, in the past two months, Little Renault has been forcing Sirov to find out exactly what Nicole's daily schedule is and what she is doing. He also wants Sirov to ask her "girlfriend" why Nicole doesn't want to renew her contract and whether she can change her mind.
Sirov didn't seem to know much else, and didn't think he had committed any crime. At most, he had deceived his "girlfriend's" feelings.
As for his unwillingness to confess at the beginning, it was naturally because he was a liar and wanted to continue to cheat people.
If the matter were to come to light, he would obviously not gain any benefit.
Looking at the confession, Lu Ming shook his head.
In the attack incident, because he assumed that he was the target of the radicals, even if Renault knew Nicole's itinerary, according to official procedures, he could not be linked to the attack.
However, this is only the preliminary stage. As more and more evidence accumulates and various chains of evidence are gradually closed, this may become a very critical link.
He looked at Zhang Xianhe, the team leader, and said, "Don't release Sirov yet. Tomorrow, take him and his lawyer Li Dagui to Nadu Films to record a video of his confession. Ask him to recite it, and Li Dagui must be present."
Zhang Xianhe was stunned. Go to the cinema to record the confession? It seems a bit exaggerated.
Lu Ming continued, "In the future, even if Sirov is silenced, this video and recording evidence will still be effective."
Zhang Xianhe's heart trembled.
Now, through this confession, he also had an idea. Commissioner Lu tracked down the people who knew Nicole's whereabouts.
Nicole reported a missing child from an orphanage.
Commissioner Lu and Nicole were attacked in the same car, and it is possible, Commissioner Lu believes, that the thugs were actually targeting Nicole.
In this case, this guy's confession is very important, and Mr. Renault Jr. has been added to the list of suspects.
"I'll do it tomorrow. The funds are sufficient now. If they are not enough in the future, I will find a way to apply for it." Lu Ming smiled.
"Okay!" Zhang Xianhe stood at attention immediately. With money, everything would be easy.
"Go back and have a rest. You've worked hard today!" Lu Ming looked at the clock on the wall. It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening.
"Commissioner, you've worked hard. Why aren't you going home today?!" Zhang Xianhe smiled.
"Yeah." Lu Ming looked at Han Annie, "Annie, you look very tired. Are your shoulders sore? Where is the pillow I prepared for you?"
Zhang Xianhe's face fell a little and he hurriedly said goodbye.
Han Anni had no choice but to pretend she didn't hear anything. She stood up and sent Zhang Xianhe out. She saw that the coffee on Lu Ming's table had gone cold, so she went to make a new one and brought it over.
"By the way, why do you always look at the watch? Is there something wrong?" Lu Ming asked again.
Han Annie nodded gently: "It's a little bit, but it's not too late. Will you rest before twelve o'clock today?"
Lu Ming hummed, "I may not sleep, but if you have something to do, go now. It's late at night, be careful, or I'll ask Datou to follow you?" Then he asked, "What's the matter?"
Han Annie hesitated for a moment and said, "My mother will arrive today, on the 1 a.m. train."
Lu Ming was stunned. "Aunt is coming? You're only here for the second day?"
"It was arranged a long time ago. After I got my diploma, I called my mother. She took a train the day before yesterday and will arrive tonight."
It takes about two days and two nights to travel from the northern four provinces to the East China Sea at today's train speed, not counting the reversal along the way.
"It's a bit rushed. There's no need to rush to see you right now. You mother and daughter have a really good relationship." Lu Ming smiled.
Han Annie shook her head and said, "My mother will live with me and will not return to the north for the time being."
Lu Ming looked at Han Annie and suddenly understood something. Han Annie came to compete for the prosecutor position in Donghai not because she yearned for life in a metropolis, but because she was running away from something. She was so eager to bring her mother over. Was she hoping to escape from her family
Putting down the file in his hand, he said, "Come on, I'll go with you to pick up Auntie! You've only been here for two days, so it's inconvenient to find a car or something. And I'm afraid you don't know the roads very well, right?"
Han Annie was stunned for a moment and said, "No need. I remember the route very well, and I also have the number to call a taxi."
"It's not safe at night. I was ambushed, let alone you." Lu Ming waved his hand, "Okay, I'll ask Datou to prepare the car."
…
On the platform of Beiguan Railway Station, there was a row of burly armed men carrying submachine guns or automatic rifles. Outside, there was a circle of black-uniformed traffic police armed with live ammunition, which made other people who came to pick up passengers stand far away and dare not get close.
Next to Lu Ming stood a middle-aged fat man wearing a traffic police uniform with three yellow lines on the sleeves of his uniform. He was the traffic patrol captain at Beiguan Station and his surname was Zhou.
Captain Zhou smiled and introduced the situation of the station.
Although I don't know the background of Commissioner Lu, he is a commissioner of the Supreme Procuratorate and has special armed personnel as his entourage, so he is naturally a high-ranking target.
Therefore, brothers were specially ordered to impose martial law. Even ordinary parliamentarians who entered and exited the station did not receive the current treatment.
"Look, Commissioner, there will be another railway track next year. I heard that a lot of bonds will be issued this time."
Patrol Captain Zhou pointed to a small hill in the distance and introduced it.
Lu Ming thought, "Don't I know? I also had a share in the bond speculation."
"Woo... Woo...", in the distance, under the moonlight, a train was coming from afar, spewing thick smoke.
"Ah, the old lady should be here!" Inspector Zhou finally ended the awkward chat and said, "Don't worry, I asked someone to signal the old lady's carriage a long time ago. The old lady's carriage is parked right here! I also asked the train police to maintain order. Let's go up and pick up the old lady first."
Sure enough, the train rumbled closer and then slowly stopped. The first-class carriage was parked right next to the platform in front of Lu Ming and his group.
Han Annie saw the sign for the first-class carriage and bit her red lips.
Lu Ming took two steps forward and said with a smile, "Two days and two nights is still a long time. As an old man, it's only right for you to sit in the first-class carriage."
The carriage door slowly opened at this time, and there seemed to be a commotion inside. Someone must have wanted to get off the train but was stopped by the conductor. The passenger got angry. After all, only those who could sit in the first-class carriage were rich or noble.
Captain Zhou frowned and shouted a few words in the local dialect to his men. Immediately, several traffic police soldiers came up with rifles and the place soon became quiet.
The car coming from the north, no matter who you are, when you get here, you will be like a dragon coiled up or a tiger lying down.
Captain Zhou smiled apologetically and said to Lu Ming, "Shall I accompany you to pick up the old lady?"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Sorry to bother you, Captain Zhou. My friend and I will be able to go up there!"
"Okay, okay, I'll wait here!" Captain Zhou made a gesture of invitation.
"Go up and pick us up..." Lu Ming almost said "our mom". In front of Han Annie, sometimes, he felt like he was back in the past. It was normal to say "our mom" to classmates or friends who had a good relationship with them.
"Go upstairs to pick up my aunt..." He turned back reluctantly.
Han Anni, who was a little dazed, exclaimed and came back to her senses.
Han Annie got on the carriage in front and Lu Ming got on the back. There were several traffic police soldiers holding guns inside. The passengers sat quietly in their seats, not daring to breathe. Many of them had fearful expressions on their faces, thinking that they were catching a fugitive and were afraid that they would be caught by the wrong person. This is very common in the north. Some people, who were already sensitive about their identities, were so scared that they lowered their heads.
"Mom!" Han Annie called out crisply. Lu Ming also looked in the direction of the sound, but saw a beautiful young woman standing up from the wide sofa seats in the last row. Lu Ming was stunned.
Her eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Han Annie's. She has delicate skin and has a unique feminine charm. Her face is as delicate as a baby's, and her watery eyes are extremely charming. She has her hair tied up in a bun, a swallowtail style, which is common among noble ladies. She has thin, slightly curly bangs in front, and her hair is beautifully highlighted. She wears a light red round-collared jacket and a soft green skirt. She looks very gorgeous and seductive.
It has a traditional and ancient style, but with highlighted bangs and other details, it also has a modern feel for today.
Lu Ming sneered in his heart. Han Annie's sister was also here, but her temperament was totally different from Han Annie's. She looked more like a classic wealthy lady from a wealthy family.
Looking to the side, I realized that the person sitting next to Sister Han Annie was a middle-aged maid in a white jacket and black pants.
Is this Han Annie’s mother, Tang
Lu Ming immediately knew something was wrong, and turned his gaze back to this beautiful lady from the Republic of China who looked like Han Annie's sister. Could it be? Han Annie's mother
this?…
Although wealthy families in the north get married early, Han Annie's mother must be at least 33 or 34 years old. She is very good at taking care of herself.
"Nizi, sit down quickly and don't move. We are here to catch fugitives..." The real Mrs. Tang nervously instructed Han Annie, looking at the soldiers with guns with even more anxiety. Her voice was gentle, like the soft voice of a peasant, completely different from the clear and crisp voice of Han Annie.
"Mom, it's okay, get off the car, this is... arranged by our superior..." Han Annie said in a low voice.
"Your superior?" Tang was a little surprised.
Lu Ming took two steps forward and said with a smile, "Auntie, you are frightened. Please get out of the car."
Tang was extremely smart, and Han Annie probably inherited this from her. She pointed at the traffic police with her slender handkerchief and asked Lu Ming, "Are these soldiers your men?"
Han Anni was already beside her and quickly said, "Mom, let's get off the car." As if she knew what was going to happen.
"How can that be possible!" Tang pointed at an old man in a silk robe not far from where she sat. "This old man has been staring at me like a thief. I said something to him and he even cursed me. I was so angry all the way here that I am about to explode! Quick, catch him!"
The old man turned pale with fright.
"Mom, let's go, get out of the car!" Han Annie was so anxious that she was about to cry. She secretly glanced at Lu Ming, feeling even more embarrassed and flustered.
Lu Ming was already stunned. How could such a mother raise such an outstanding daughter like Han Annie
However, seeing the situation, he waved his hand and pointed at the old man: "After we get off the bus, we will arrest him and take him back to check if he is a rebel!"
The traffic police soldier immediately pointed his rifle at the old man, who was so scared that he collapsed on his chair.
Han Anni was stunned, but at this time she had no choice but to persuade her mother to get off the car.
Tang's face immediately beamed with joy. She hummed to the carriage in a proud manner and got off the car with the help of her daughter.
Lu Ming made an excuse to fall behind a few steps. After getting off the car, he told Captain Zhou to let the old man go, apologize, and send him some fruits to calm him down. He would then have someone send the money over later.
Captain Zhou nodded repeatedly in agreement.
Lu Ming got in the car and sat on the passenger seat, while Han Annie, her daughter and the maid Liu Ma sat in the back seat.
The traffic police placed all the luggage, both large and small, in the car behind.
Looking at the busy soldiers, Tang was very satisfied and said to Lu Ming: "Young man, you are the escort officer, right? Later, I will speak well of you in front of your superiors!" She also said to Han Anni: "Nizi, your superiors like you very much. I told you, find an official higher than your father in the future, and go back to take care of that bitch..."
Before she could finish her words, Han Anni hurriedly said, "Mom, this is our commander, his surname is Lu, Commissioner Lu..." Her expression was no longer as embarrassed as it was on the train. Maybe, anyway, you have already seen your mother like this.
Tang was stunned and looked at Lu Ming, feeling a little embarrassed. Just when she didn't know what to say, Lu Ming smiled and said, "Auntie, I really like Han Annie!"
Tang immediately laughed, "Yes, Nizi..."
"Mom, please say less!" Han Anni tugged at Tang's sleeve, feeling helpless.
Tang bit her red lips and leaned back in her chair, feeling a little depressed. "What kind of world is this? The daughter is in charge of the mother!"
Lu Ming smiled and said, "Auntie, Annie misses you so much. You don't know. She has been busy since early morning. She worked overtime last night and didn't sleep well. Now she comes to the station late at night."
"She?!" Tang curled her lips and looked at Lu Ming with her watery eyes, "You, Lu... Commissioner, right?" Lu Ming smiled and said, "You can just call me Qianxing."
"How can that be possible? There is a difference between the superior and the inferior, Mr. Commissioner. My daughter, a heartless young girl, wants to leave home without a penny. She can't even take some things with her. She got mad at me when I bought a first-class ticket..."
Lu Ming smiled and said, "That's her fault. You came all the way from the north. Although you are still young, you are the elder after all. It's only right that you sit more comfortably."
"Isn't it?" Tang immediately became excited, "I said..."
"Auntie, wait until you settle down, I will take you to visit Donghai. In the future, if you need me to do anything, just let me know. Han Annie is my most capable assistant. If you are wronged, it means that Han Annie is wronged, and then I will be unhappy!"
Tang was stunned, always feeling that there was something wrong with what he said. However, although this officer was young, he really had the demeanor of a senior official. With a few words, he interrupted her and took the initiative in the conversation.
She had this feeling before. Anne's father was just that kind of person. He was the only one who spoke and others listened.
Nowadays, such a young child also has this kind of aura, and he is the same type of person as Anne's father. However, when Anne's father was his age, he was probably still playing in the mud.
"Thank you, Commissioner!" Tang finally felt in awe of this young man.
Han Annie looked at her mother in silence, and suddenly remembered something, "Sir, that old man..."
“What old…” Tang stopped talking halfway, glanced at Lu Ming, and then took it back.
Lu Ming shook his head slightly at Han Annie.
Han Annie understood that the carriage was too chaotic at the time, so she made a prompt decision to give her mother face and let her mother get off the train with dignity, so as to avoid making a scene in the car, which would embarrass everyone, especially herself.
Later, he would have someone release the old man.
"Thank you..." Han Annie suddenly felt sad.
It's been difficult lately, but I didn't expect that the person who cares most about me is this guy.
"We are friends now, why be polite? Annie, are you tired? Let me tell you, I have chosen a mattress for you, it will help you relieve your fatigue. I will change it for you when we get back. Let me tell you, I have to change this mattress for you myself." Lu Ming said with a smile.
Han Anni was immediately speechless, turned her head away, and didn't bother to pay attention to him. The little touch of emotion in her heart also disappeared.
I did it on purpose, pretending to be mean and amusing myself every day.
Mrs. Tang looked at Commander Lu, then at her daughter, with a strange light flashing in her eyes.
…
Several cars drove directly to the Windebao Club.
Lu Ming led the Tang family's master and servant to Room 408, asked the waiter to introduce the room, and said with a smile: "This is my private room, I haven't been staying here recently, Auntie, you can stay here first, don't worry, this is run by my friend, you can tell them to do anything, although they are all gangsters, their tempers may be a bit bad sometimes, but I am here, don't worry, just treat it like home!"
Tang walked around in this luxurious presidential suite-like room and liked it very much. Although she was shocked when she heard Chief Lu say that this place was run by gangsters, she was reluctant to move to another place. At most, even if she didn't serve them well in the future, she would just cause them less trouble.
Lu Ming said, "Auntie, Prosecutor Han and I are busy with a big case recently. I'll stay with you today, but you have to report tomorrow!"
Mrs. Tang chuckled: "Master Commissioner, don't worry, I am sensible and I know what is important and what is not! Also, Nizi, you don't have to accompany me, go with Master Commissioner! Work is more important!"
Han Annie walked Lu Ming to the corridor and said, "I, I will stay with my mother for one night, so I'd like to ask for your leave."
Lu Ming nodded and said, "Let's live here first. I originally had an empty two-story building in Jing'an Lane, but it's been a bit uneasy lately. It's safer here."
Han Anni had originally booked a small hotel temporarily, and planned to find a house to rent when she had time.
But the guy in front of him dragged the person here without saying anything.
If my mother saw that we were staying in a small hotel, she would definitely make a fuss. It would be too embarrassing to do that in front of so many people.
So, just come.
After thinking for a while, Han Anni said, "My mother should have brought money. How much is this per night? I will pay you later." She added, "This jade pendant of mine..."
Lu Ming naturally knew that her jade pendant was a good thing, but outside the four northern provinces, few people knew good jade, and jade accessories were not popular. He smiled and said, "Let's talk about it later. You don't owe me a favor. You saved my life. My life should be worth at least 18 million now, right?"
This life was indeed saved by Han Annie. If it weren't for Han Annie, I would have died because Bizhu was still in an unactivated state.
As for after death, whether I will be sent to a better family, no longer be a lonely star, or even have the possibility of returning to my previous life to see my parents and relatives.
If we settle the accounts in this way, it seems a bit unreasonable.
Thinking about something random, he waved to Han Annie and turned to leave.
