Hello, Mr. Major General - Chapter 1577
Chapter 1577: Don’t Let Anyone Get Away With It
The next morning, He Zhichu let out a long breath and stood up from behind his desk.
The computer screen was still showing the moment when the lights went back on.
He stood in front of the cake and looked down at the pink diamond crown on the ground.
Behind him stood two humble-looking gardeners.
The child in the middle of the gardeners was covered in a cloak and a mask was Gu Nianzhi, had taken him years to find.
If he had turned around at that time…
No, even if he had turned around, he wouldn’t have thought that the child in the cartoon uniform was Gu Nianzhi.
This scheme had been too elaborate.
And all of this was really not Gu Xiangwen’s doing?
He knew that Gu Nianzhi had really been sent to the other world by Gu Xiangwen.
If all of this was not Gu Xiangwen’s plan, then how did Gu Nianzhi end up in his hands?
After all, he had personally seen Gu Xiangwen send Gu Nianzhi to the other world and then set himself on fire in front of him.
What had happened in between that he did not know?
And how did Gu Nianzhi know?
He Zhichu’s shimmering almond-shaped eyes flickered. He quickly remembered the “doctor” who had suddenly appeared that day to perform Gu Nianzhi’s surgery..
This conjecture was too shocking. He decided to go to the bathroom and take a cold shower.
It was the end of December in the imperial capital. The cold water was bone-chilling, but he felt that he needed this kind of coldness to sober himself up.
..
At the same time, Gu Nianzhi had just pushed open her room door and walked out.
She had already gotten up and was dressed.
She had already changed out of the black dress she wore the day before. She was wearing a pink and blue silk shirt with a ash grey thin wool suit jacket over it. On her long legs was a pair of wool trousers of the same color, and black mid-heeled leather shoes with thin tips were on her feet.
In her hand, she was carrying a deep peacock blue LV twist handbag, which she treated as a briefcase.
Her hair, which had just been washed and blown, was not completely dry. It was so black that it appeared blue. It hung on her shoulders gently, and her palm-sized face was as white as jade.
She did not sleep well that night either. Her dark eyes had dark eye circles. It was no longer an amber color that could be seen through at a glance. Instead, it was like a book with a lot of content that made he wanted to read and read again.
She took out her phone and dialed He Zhichu’s number, but no one answered. She went straight to the voicemail.
The guard at the door saluted her and said loudly, “Good Morning, Miss Gu!”
Gu Nianzhi nodded and smiled. “Thank you for your hard work.”
She asked again, “Do you know that Young Master He went out this morning?”
“Young Master He hasn’t come out yet. He must have gone to the bathroom,” He Zhichu’s orderly answered quickly.
Gu Nianzhi looked at her watch and said, “Then I won’t wait for him. When he comes out, help me tell him that I went to the police station to report the case.”
He Zhichu’s orderly: “…”
Did they still need to go to the police station to report the case?
For the He family, shouldn’t reporting the case be just calling the head of the Imperial Police Headquarters?
Gu Nianzhi did not explain further. She grabbed her Louis Vuitton handbag and briefcase, then strode downstairs.
Yesterday, she had read through all the information He Zhichu had sent her. She had found out what was related to the case and made a report. She had listed a few pieces of evidence. Of course, the most crucial piece of evidence was herself.
There was no other evidence that was more powerful than the victim from back then standing up and testifying.
Two orderly soldiers followed her and said, “Miss Gu, Young Master He has ordered that we must ensure your safety at all times.”
Gu Nianzhi did not stop them and said, “Alright then, find a car and take me to the police station.”
The two orderly soldiers drove He Zhichu’s bulletproof car over.
He Zhichu had ordered that if Gu Nianzhi wanted to use a car, she would use his car.
He Zhichu was in the middle of his shower in the bathroom. He knew that Gu Nianzhi was going to the police station to report the case, so he did not stop her. He only ordered all the operations teams to be in place to secretly protect her.
..
It was Christmas, but the Huaxia Empire didn’t actually celebrate it, so there were no official celebrations.
The people who had partied the night before still had to get up early to go to work today.
Gu Nianzhi sat in He Zhichu’s bulletproof car and also encountered a traffic jam on the Sanhuan Road of the imperial capital.
She wasn’t in a hurry. She had waited for eight years, so she wasn’t in a hurry.
When He Zhichu called, she was looking out of the car window while lost in thought.
“Young Master He?” Gu Nianzhi answered the phone with a smile. “I called you this morning, but it wasn’t convenient for you to pick up.”
“I was just showering.” He Zhichu wiped his head with a towel and walked out of the bathroom. With broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs, he was tall and slender.
The muscles on his upper arms were well-proportioned. He was definitely in good shape, when he was in his clothes and when he took off his clothes.
He Zhichu’s gaze fell on the mirror in front of him. He asked coldly, “… Is everything ready?”
“Yes, everything is ready. I’ve been going through the files you’ve been organizing all night and found some key clues and evidence.”
“I want to report this to the police and ask them to control these two suspects and prosecute them. I will act as the plaintiff and defend myself.”
Gu Nianzhi indeed had not slept the night before. She had searched for information on criminal proceedings in the Huaxia Empire.
She realized that in criminal proceedings, the plaintiff could hire a lawyer to argue with the defendant’s defense lawyer in court. It was slightly different from the law of criminal proceedings in the other world.
She was relieved when she realized the difference.
Great, she could really get justice for herself!
The best justice would be to use the law to send these people to prison.
He Zhichu thought about it. Although he felt that Gu Nianzhi was in a hurry, considering her mood, he decided to let her do what she wanted.
If anything went wrong, he would be there anyway.
He Zhichu did not stop her. He only said, “Be careful and keep in touch. Do you want me to pick you up?”
“No need.” Gu Nianzhi arched her eyebrows. “Help me keep an eye on those two people at the He family’s house. I don’t want them to run away when the police to arrive.”
“Okay, no problem.” He Zhichu used his phone to send out a series of commands, and the entire He family was heavily surrounded by soldiers.
He Chengjian received the news and was eating breakfast in the dining room.
When he heard that it was He Zhichu who gave the order, he did not even raise his head. He said, “Young Master He’s orders are my orders. Why are you making a fuss? You’re getting more and more unruly! — Get out!”
His personal secretary quickly left the dining room and went out to deliver the news.
..
At this time, Gu Nianzhi finally arrived at the imperial police headquarters.
Because the disappearance of a minor had happened at the He family’s home, the case had been reported here eight years ago.
According to the information she had gathered, the case had not been closed until now.
He Zhichu should have gone to close the case when she had returned, but the Young Master had probably long forgotten about it.
Or perhaps he was too lazy to close the case. It was already an unsolved case and had been classified as a cold case for many years. It didn’t matter whether it was closed or not.
Gu Nianzhi was extremely grateful to He Zhichu’s “Young Master” habits at this moment.
If it had been Huo Shaoheng, he would have closed the case immediately, but if it had already been closed, it would have been very disadvantageous to her.
..
In the main hall of the Imperial Police Headquarters, Inspector Chen, who was in charge of the cold case, almost thought he had heard wrong.
“Huh? A missing minor case from the He family eight years ago? You’re the victim of the disappearance? ! You want to sue the two adults who kidnapped you? !”
In his twenty years of working on the case, he had never seen a case like this. It was a victim of an adult who had come to seek justice for the minor she had been!
“Yes, is there a problem?” Gu Nianzhi laid out the law without hesitation.
“According to Article 239 of the criminal law, kidnapping a minor by force, coercion, or other means is punishable by up to ten years of fixed-term imprisonment or life imprisonment, and a fine or confiscation of property
“Intentional injury to a kidnapped minor, resulting in serious injury or death, shall be punishable by life imprisonment or death, and all property shall be confiscated.”
“I am the minor who was kidnapped by them back then. They severely abused me, causing me to suffer from severe injuries and amnesia.” Gu Nianzhi pointed at her own head, “I recently returned here and was once again strongly stimulated by them. Only then did I suddenly remember what happened back then.”
Inspector Chen watched as she laid out the evidence and listened to her eloquently talk about the “abuse” she had suffered when she was kidnapped. His eyes turned red. He choked with sobs and said, “Miss, don’t worry. We will not let any of the bad guys off! Apply for an arrest warrant! Go to the He family house to arrest the criminal suspect!”
Inspector Chen’s subordinates:”! ! !”
Go to the He family’s house to arrest the suspect? !
Was the boss out of his mind? !
Gu Nianzhi turned to look at her stunned subordinates and calmly said, “The suspect is the He family’s gardener.”
“… Gardener? !” The policemen came back to their senses and immediately shouted, “Yes, inspector! We’ll act now!”
So they were going to arrest the gardener. He had really scared them to death just now..
…
Gu Nianzhi went back in the police car.
With the arrest warrant she had applied for from the court, she brought Inspector Chen, who was in charge of cold case, and his subordinates, to the He family’s florist’s worker’s house.
Although it was called a worker’s house, the three-bedroom, two-bedroom, 100-square-meter suite was more spacious and luxurious than many apartment blocks in the capital.
A policeman came up and knocked on the door. “May I know if Wen Dayou and Liang Meili are here?”
The door opened, and Wen Shouyi was standing inside.
With a puzzled look on her face, she looked at the policeman in front of her and Gu Nianzhi, who was standing behind the policeman. “I’m Wen Shouyi, and I’m also a lawyer. May I know why you’re looking for my parents?”
