Hearing what Liu Jiacheng said, Shazhu couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
"Really? Jiacheng, have you ever seen Bangge?"
Liu Jiacheng shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before, but I encountered a strange thing just after the New Year."
"What's weird?"
"I just came back to work after the Chinese New Year. I was getting ready to get off work that day. I had just got into the car and it hadn't started yet. Suddenly two foreigners came over and asked me where I was trading, how my preparations were, and whether Uncle Lin was here.
.”
Silly Zhu frowned and said, "What do they do?"
Liu Jiacheng said: "I don't know. I was confused at the time and asked them what they were doing. As a result, they were even more surprised and suspicious. One person suddenly said that he had been deceived by Bang Jie, and then they turned around and ran away."
"Ah? So strange?"
"Yes, I reported it to Uncle Lin later, and he told me not to worry about Bangge and let me manage the Bacui Building properly, and pretended not to know anything else."
Silly Zhu frowned and thought for a while, "Is there something else? Does Lin Zhen know? It would be unreasonable not to tell me."
Liu Jiacheng said: "Uncle Silly, you can't blame me, Uncle Lin. He has nothing to do with this matter, and he doesn't care. He can't just let the police come to arrest him all over the city based on a foreigner's words, right?"
Silly Zhu pursed his lips and said, "Forget it, he doesn't care whether it's friendship or duty. What happened next? Did the foreigner come to see you again later?"
Liu Jiacheng shook his head and said: "No, but now that we know they are two foreigners, it will be much easier to find them. There are not many guesthouses in Tianmen that can accommodate foreign tourists. You can get a clue if you go and ask.
It’s much better than searching every restaurant for a needle in a haystack.”
Silly Zhu nodded, "Yes, your idea is really good, I'll go and find out about it right now."
"Hey, silly uncle, let's go after dinner, right?"
"No, tell Guan Dongqing, don't do it yet. I'll be back before twelve o'clock. I'll put the luggage first and you can watch it for me."
Silly Zhu said and walked out. Liu Jiacheng said helplessly: "Okay, treat me as your base!"
It is easy to find a guest house in Tianjin that can accommodate foreigners.
Silly Zhu went to a large guest house to inquire. When he found the third one, he asked out that one foreigner stayed in this guest house two years ago, and two after the year, and then left after a few days.
Silly Zhu hurriedly asked the two foreigners what their names were, what country they were from, and where they were now.
The receptionist did not tell him, "Comrade, you said you were looking for your son who ran away from home out of anger, so I made an exception and told you that we have entertained foreign friends, but you have to ask carefully where his name and origin have gone. I
I can't tell you unless you bring the police."
Silly Zhu was right when he thought about it, he couldn't make things difficult for the staff.
Then he smiled and said: "Thank you, comrade, for telling me this. I know that you will not be allowed to violate the regulations. I just want to ask, during the time when the foreigners lived there, did any young man come to see them?"
"Young people? Yes, there are people who deliver newspapers and meals."
"Have you ever had a thin young man in his twenties, similar to me, with short curly hair and a capital accent?"
"Uh... I can't recognize the accent, but there is a young man who often comes to deliver dinner. He is pretty much the same as you said. He has curly hair, doesn't seem to talk much, and keeps his head down and his eyes always looking around."
"Which restaurant does he belong to?"
“The dog restaurant on the south side of Bei Er Street Road, where you can buy Sichuan food.”
"Hey! Okay, thank you, comrade, I'll come back when I have something to do!"
You can’t go wrong, Shazhu is sure that the person who delivered the food at that Sichuan restaurant is definitely a good guy.
After asking for the address, Shazhu immediately rushed to North Second Street.
It's already past ten o'clock in the evening. Luckily it's summer now. If it were winter, the restaurants would have been closed long ago.
When we arrived at the Sichuan restaurant, Shazhu was full of knowledge and first gave the boss a big door.
He smiled and asked: "Comrade, may I ask you something?"
"What's the matter?"
"Is the chef behind your store a foreigner?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Hey, I'm not afraid of your jokes. I'm from the capital. Last year, my son had a quarrel with me and ran away in anger. I heard that he came to work in a restaurant in Jinmen. He learned all his skills from me. I think you're like this
The food in the Sichuan restaurant is quite authentic, so I’d better ask.”
The shop owner looked at Silly Zhu in surprise, "Not to mention, my shop hired a Sichuan chef last year, but he was from Hamaguchi, his name was Liu Lianxing, and he came to Jinmen to find relatives. He was not from the capital. In the first month of the year,
He said he found his relatives and left."
Silly Zhuwen frowned and took out a photo directly from his pocket.
"Comrade, look, do you think Liu Lianxing is this person?"
When the shop owner saw the result, he immediately smiled and said, "Hey! It's really him. So his identity is fake?"
Silly Zhu hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Please lower your voice, it's not a fake identity, he is not my biological son, I married a widow with children."
"Oh~ That's it, hey, this is your family matter and I won't pry, but if you ask where he is now, I really don't know."
"Then do you know the general direction in which he went?"
"have no idea."
"Then is he still in Jinmen?"
"How would I know? I'm not a worm in his stomach, and he didn't report it to me."
"That, that, that's really disturbing you."
Silly Zhubai was very happy. Although he knew that Bangge once worked here, it had no substantive significance.
I don't know if he is still in Jinmen, so knowing this news is of no use.
It seems like you are still looking for a needle in a haystack, looking for a person in a confused city?
How easy it is to be indifferent!
It seems that we have to go back to Bacui Tower and ask Liu Jiacheng to arrange a place to live, and we will slowly find it for a month.
Silly Zhu turned around and prepared to leave.
The shop owner stopped him and said, "Comrade, are you sure you are Liu Lianxing's stepfather?"
Silly Zhu directly took out the certificate issued by the street office and some of Bangge's old photos.
"Of course I'm his stepfather. Why am I here to lie to you? His actual surname is Jia, and his name is Jia Gen. Comrade, if he contacts you again, tell him that everything at home is over, as long as he is willing
If you go back, nothing will happen. By the way, I'll leave you a phone number, and you can ask him to call and ask."
The shop owner took the note written by Sha Zhu and said with a smile: "I will keep this phone number. If he really calls back, I will tell him, by the way, this 30 yuan is half of his salary.
He left in a hurry and didn't have time to calculate his salary. Since you came to the door, the money will be given to you, just write me a certificate."
"Hey, no, no, no, forget about the money. I'm not here to ask for a bill. 30 yuan won't solve the problem. As long as the shopkeeper has this intention, thank you for taking care of him during that time. Say goodbye!"
Seeing that Silhu was leaving without asking for money, the shopkeeper immediately took his arm.
He smiled and said, "Actually, your son left me a message before he left, asking me to tell it to his family. Since you are his stepfather, it is only reasonable and reasonable for me to tell you."
Silly Zhu was stunned, "Huh? Comrade, why do you keep hiding what you say? Hehe, thank you for being willing to tell me, otherwise where would I listen to him?"
The shopkeeper smiled and said: "I can't help it. You don't know, and you don't know what trouble your precious stepson got into. After he left, two foreign bastards came over to make trouble. They insisted on asking me where your son was and where I was.
You know? I had a quarrel with them and delayed my business for several days."
"Oh, I'm sorry. If I find my son, I will definitely let him come and apologize to you in person!"
"Forget it and apologize. To be honest, that guy is very hard-working and his salary is low. Because he got into trouble, I admit it. I'd better not come here in the future to avoid being found by foreigners. By the way, your son said, let...
...Uh... let me think about it, yes! Let his stupid dad ask Uncle Lin if he wants a jade plaque."
Silly Zhu's eyes widened as he waited for the shopkeeper to continue.
As a result, the shop owner was speechless.
"Gone?"
"Well, that's it."
Silly Zhu frowned and said: "That's not right, where does this go from here? What kind of jade and stone tablets, what will happen if you want them or not?"
The shop owner shook his head and said: "Then I don't know. Anyway, this was the last sentence he left at that time."
Silly Zhu was confused, he didn't know anything about the jade plaque.
When we returned to Jinmen Bacui Tower, it was already twelve o'clock in the evening.
The restaurant is closing.
Most of the chefs and waiters in the kitchen are off work.
General manager Liu Jiacheng and chef Guan Dongqing are still waiting for Shazhu.
Guan Dongqing understood the worldly etiquette and cooked eight special dishes to entertain Silly Zhu's arrival.
Silly Zhu is very embarrassed.
"Oh, oh, I'm so sorry for this? I've already disturbed you enough."
Guan Dongqing smiled and said: "Hey, Brother Zhuzhu, don't say that. My dad and your dad are almost sworn in. We can be considered brothers. My dad and I can control an eight-story building. Except for Mr. Lin, we have no previous suspicions about meritocracy.
In addition, Uncle He’s recommendation is indispensable. I should treat you to this meal!”
Silly Zhu smiled bitterly and said: "I am really selfless and dedicated."
But I thought in my heart, it’s really his fault to be generous with others and harsh with his own son!
But then I thought about it, why am I not the same? I couldn't help but blush on my face.
Hehe smiled and said: "Brother Dongqing, I didn't expect that I could see my old family when I came to Jinmen. It's so warm. Come on, let's have a drink first. Jiacheng, come on, let's do it together!"
After three rounds of wine, the five flavors of food are over.
Liu Jiacheng asked what happened to Shazhu's search.
Silly Zhu said: "You are right. Banggeng was indeed in Jinmen before. I went to inquire about it and found the restaurant where he worked. Unfortunately..."
"What's the pity? I can't see you anymore?"
"No, the shop owner said that Banggeng suddenly left in the first month. It should be during the few days when the foreigner appeared. I don't know where he went specifically. Now it's like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Liu Jiacheng said: "Don't be discouraged, stupid uncle. This is already a big progress. It's already good that you found out so much progress on your first day in Jinmen."
Guan Dongqing also said: "Yes, look for it slowly and we will arrange a hotel for you later. If you wander around the area this month, you might be able to meet her."
Silly Zhu said: "That's all we can do now, but before leaving, Banggeng left a message, which he brought to Lin Zhen. Unfortunately, we don't know if Lin Zhen has arrived in Xiangjiang, nor do we know his contact information."
Liu Jiacheng asked hurriedly: "What message does Bangge want to bring to my Uncle Lin?"
Silly Zhu said: "Just one sentence, ask Lin Zhen if he wants a jade plaque."
"That's it?"
"That's it."
"Good guy, Bangge is really good at riddles. Uncle Silly, it's very simple to contact my Uncle Lin. Just call the Lin family in the capital of Lin State and ask them to send a message to Uncle Lin."
"Hey, my Zhuzhu brother, don't you look at what time it is. It's 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, and people don't sleep? Drink, and we'll talk about it tomorrow!"
