Mingying stared at me and said, "Let me tell you the truth, I, including our organization, don't know much about Chen Ziqi. His whereabouts are mysterious and erratic, and he is rich and powerful. Do you want to learn from him?
Stealing paintings from your hands? What a fool!"
The plastic Frappuccino cup I was holding in my hand was slapped heavily on the table. I could no longer suppress the arrogance and confidence in my heart. I tried hard to lower my voice and said in an extremely low tone: "Manuscript,
Is it useful?"
Mingying was stunned. She seemed to always see me laughing and joking, always making jokes, always talking nonsense, and not being serious. I'm afraid she would be very uncomfortable with suddenly changing into such a serious look.
"It would be nice to have...the original painting...but..." Mingying put down her arrogant attitude for the first time and stuttered.
I stood up in a hurry and said in a low voice: "Tomorrow night, I will give you the painting."
After that, she walked away as if there was no one around. Mingying was stunned on the spot, speechless.
After leaving the gate of Starbucks, I hailed a taxi and went straight to the West Shanghai Workers' Cultural Palace, where Chen Ziqi's small villa is located.
When I arrived at the small villa, I walked around quietly, and then walked around other places in the West Palace for a long time before returning home.
When I got home, I stared at the empty freezer in a daze.
At this moment, Xiao Luqi is sleeping in the freezer in the west door on the sixth floor of the adjacent building. In fact, there is only a cement wall between her and me.
This concrete wall is extremely cold, blocking my thoughts of her.
Luci, just wait. When I solve everything here, I must give you peace. No, not only that, I also want to revive you, wake you up from the curse of sleeping, and take a bath again.
The warmth of the sun is just like the first time I saw you.
I fed Mo Mo, and then started to tidy up the messed up things in the kitchen and bedroom and put them back in their place.
Only then did I realize that Ling Kong had turned this room into such a mess and what exactly had he taken away.
One thing is missing - the pinhole camera storage.
That's right, it was the memory of the pinhole camera that I used to threaten Mao Bin after I killed him. The video files inside recorded evidence that Mao Bin was pretending to be a ghost and then asked me for money.
Now, this storage is no longer there.
Did Ling Kong break into my room just to take Xiao Luqi away, and did he take the storage device on a whim, or was his other purpose to help Mao Bin destroy evidence?
Could it be that Mao Bin is also related to this organization?
I remembered again that night, when Mao Bin laughed before leaving, it seemed to be with strong contempt. Could it be that he had known for a long time that the evidence in this pinhole camera would be destroyed by people in the organization?
I quickly turned on the computer, first selected Show hidden files in the settings, then opened the C drive, and clicked on the folders one by one. After opening 7 or 8 folders, I found the video that I copied from the camera storage.
, just appeared in front of me.
Afraid of being betrayed by a bug, I turned off the sound. Then, double-clicked to play.
Mao Bin's "obscene" dancing posture was displayed on the screen again.
I breathed a sigh of relief. Thank God, the people in this organization didn't know that I had kept a backup and just stole the storage. It's strange that anyone with a normal brain would think of the possibility that the contents of the storage have been copied.
Yes, why not steal the computer hard drive as well, but only steal the memory?
baffling.
I went to bed and sat on the bed in a daze.
Xiao Mo Mo, who was full of wine and food, jumped on the bed. He climbed directly onto my legs, looked at me, then buried his head in the seam of my legs and fell asleep comfortably.
I really have no choice but to let this little ancestor sleep quietly.
Unexpectedly, a wave of tiredness soon came over me, and I actually sat down and fell asleep.
When I woke up, my back hurt, and it was only 3 o'clock in the morning. I gently took Mo Mo off my lap and placed it next to the bed. An ordinary kitten would probably wake up if I moved; but this "
The little black cat of the "Juehuang" level actually didn't even bother to open his eyes, he just changed his position and continued to sleep.
I smiled bitterly, put the pillow in place, and continued to sleep.
The next morning, I took the subway and arrived at the Shanghai Urban Construction Archives, No. 10 Songyuan Road, Xuhui District. I found a staff member, showed my lawyer's ID, and said that I was representing a case and wanted to investigate the archived buildings.
Blueprint, the staff was quite enthusiastic, and after letting me do some necessary registration, they asked me what files I wanted to check.
I reported the approximate address of Chen Ziqi's villa. Because there were several small villas scattered in the various corners of the West Shanghai Workers' Cultural Palace, I was afraid that the staff would make a mistake, so I continued: "It was probably built around 1998.
"
I saw this date on a different manhole cover next to Chen Ziqi's villa last night. Judging from the location and trend, the sewer connected to this manhole cover is the sewer of Chen Ziqi's villa.
After a while, the staff member came out of the archives with a file box, handed it to me, and asked me to sit in the designated place and read it.
I couldn't wait to open the file box. The information inside was very complete, including the four dimensions of the land under the building, the structural plan of each floor and detailed data, all quietly waiting for me to read through it.
I first looked through the data on the land and surface buildings, but found a strange problem: the area of the land is larger than the surface area including the garden. After reading the drawings, I realized: If the shape of the above-ground buildings is a
As for the word "mouth", the shape of the land is a "convex" word. On the north side of the villa, that is, near the woods, there is an extra piece of land than the buildings on the ground.
Is this a tunnel for emergency escape or an underground storage room?
I looked at every picture carefully and kept the structure of this villa in mind.
After reading the information, I quickly left the archives and took a taxi to Shunyi Road, Putuo District. I arrived near the door of the aunt who worked for Chen Ziqi's family. I put on the pair of sunglasses I bought specially in Xigong and wandered back and forth, waiting for the aunt to show up.
.
After the seemingly casual chat last time, I had used some nonsensical chat topics as cover, and seemed to have inadvertently figured out this aunt's daily schedule.
When the time came around 11:15, Auntie came out pushing a bicycle. I pretended to be buying drinks on the roadside, turned around, met Auntie, and said with a smile: "Hello Auntie!"
Because I was wearing the same clothes as when I met her last time, Auntie suddenly thought of me and smiled: "Young man, why are you here?"
"To tell you the truth, I go to school right next to you."
"Oh! Students from East China Political Science and Law? No wonder. By the way, I heard that all the students in this school are graduate students. Are you too?"
I smiled sheepishly and said, "Yes, I am studying here."
The aunt gave a thumbs up and said: "Hey, highly educated!"
I bought two bottles of iced black tea and gave one to my aunt. She waved her hands and said, "I bought it even if I told you to. Don't be polite. This is a hot day to relieve the heat."
Auntie took it and put it in the basket, thanked me twice and asked me what I was going for.
I said I was going to Nishinomiya Flower, Bird, Fish and Insect Market. Is Auntie going to that family’s house to do some work? Why don’t we go together.
The aunt looked at a worn cartoon electronic watch on her wrist, probably worn by her grandson, and said it happened to be early, so she should walk over.
There were various chats along the way. Because the aunt was also responsible for cleaning Chen Ziqi's villa, she went into every room. I asked a lot of questions without thinking and thinking. As I asked, I secretly compared the blueprint I had just seen in my mind.
Confirm it.
I saw that there were very few vegetables in my aunt's bicycle basket today, so I asked what was going on.
The aunt told me that she had received a call in the morning. Only the hostess and her little daughter were at home today, so she didn't have to cook a lot.
After hearing this, I was secretly happy. God was really helping me. This opportunity cannot be missed and it will never come back. I quickly took out my mobile phone and secretly set an alarm clock. It will go off in about 2 minutes.
2 minutes later, the alarm clock rang. I pretended that there was a call and answered it in a decent manner, saying: "Hello? Uh-huh? No way? That's right. Just wait. There is someone who understands next to me.
, let me ask for you." Then he turned to ask his aunt: "A friend of mine also lives next to the West Palace. She said that the sewer at home is blocked and the smell is coming up. She has no life experience at all, so I will ask her.
, is there any company that repairs sewers nearby? Well... has Auntie ever encountered this kind of situation at that family’s house?”
The aunt said without hesitation: "Of course, you ask your friend to make this call." After saying that, she took out her mobile phone and flipped through it a few times, and read: "54199698."
I said, can you show me the number? Auntie didn't think much and handed me the phone happily.
I picked up the phone and said, "Hey, um, take a pen and write it down, 54199698, um, yes, 54199698. Remember it? Well, that's it."
After hanging up the phone, I returned the phone to my aunt and thanked her profusely.
The aunt laughed and said, "What's there to be thankful for? The newly built houses now are no better than those in the past, and the sewers are very bad. Water and stench come out all the time, which is really annoying to me."
I laughed and asked if the same was true for the rich man's villa. Auntie said that it was an old house, and of course there were often problems with the sewers.
Just chatting like that, when we got to the West Palace, I said goodbye to my aunt and walked to the flower, bird, fish and insect market.
Of course, I didn’t take the time to visit the flower, bird, fish and insect market. I just walked straight to the clothing and accessories market inside, which is where I bought sunglasses before. As I walked, I took out my mobile phone to make a call, pressed "54199698", and the phone rang.
After a few calls, a male voice sounded: "Hello?"
"Hello," I said hurriedly, "do you help repair the sewers here?"
"Well, you want to fix it?"
"What's the name of your company here?"
"We are Ruihong Pipe Repair Company. Your sewer is blocked? Where is your home?"
