The Charismatic Charlie Wade

The policeman looked at Hogan and said seriously, “Sir, we need to take the hard disk in your recorder to retrieve the
surveillance video and help solve the case.”
He finished with Hogan, then immediately said to his colleague “You go and remove the hard disk, we will go straight back, by
the way, also take the girl to make a statement.”
“Yes!” The man nodded without thinking and immediately asked Hogan “Sir, where is the hard disk recorder of your surveillance
system?”
Hogan said with an embarrassed face “Officer, the recorder is there, but there is no hard disk inside...”
“No hard drive?” The police officer in charge frowned and asked, “I see that the working light of your security camera is on, how
can there be no hard disk?”
Hogan took out the hard disk that is counter connected and said “Look, there is indeed no hard disk, my hard disk has long been
broken and I have not bought a new one, my store itself is relatively small, there is nothing for malicious people thinking about,
so it does not matter whether there is surveillance video or not, so I simply did not change it, so the camera is only just as a
bluff.”
The police officer walked quickly to the front and found that in the recorder the hard disk space was indeed empty, he said with a
depressed face “I should say, sir... You... You are too stingy! How much does a hard drive cost? The large capacity is not more
than two or three hundred dollars right! How can you even not save this money?”
Hogan said helplessly, “I’m not going to lie, officer, the business in Chinatown is really bad, usually I try to save some money, but
the expenses eat up all my savings at the end of the month.”
The police officer was so angry that he could not say anything. However, angry as he is, he also knows very well that in this kind
of thing they have no way. Since there is no hard disk inside the hard disk recorder, naturally, it is impossible to save any
surveillance video, so the boss developed this trick but there is no way to execute it any further.
There is no point for him to stay here, so he spoke to the woman and said, “Miss how about this, you come to the precinct with
us first to make a statement, we will try to find other clues to help solve the case.”
The woman was also quite helpless, so she nodded and said, “Okay, then I’ll go with you.”

The police officer turned around and almost walked to the door, turned around and said to Hogan “Tomorrow hurry to buy a hard
drive!”
Hogan quickly nodded and said, “Yes, yes, don’t worry, I’ll go buy it tomorrow!”
The police turned and walked away and then the two men came to the police car at the door, let the woman sit in the back of the
police car, started the car and left the scene.
At this time, only the man and Charlie remained in the store, Hogan then asked the man to hang a closed sign at the door.
After hanging it, the man then went to the basement alone to rest, Hogan sat opposite Charlie and said, “Young Master Wade,
the police have been watching my place, I don’t know exactly what it’s about, but I guess it must be related to you.”
“Related to me?” Charlie frowned and asked, “Uncle Hogan, do you mean to say that the two policemen just now are running
towards me?”
“It should be.” Hogan said seriously “You see just now that woman and those two police officers were acting with so much
drama.
They, in fact, just wanted to get the recording of my store’s security camera.
They must have another plan.”
Charlie asked with some curiosity, “Uncle Hogan, how did you determine that the woman and the two police officers were
acting?”
