When the three of them arrived at the door of Yongan Garage, Qianye still found no trace of being destroyed by the fire.
The so-called fire seems to be an empty talk. There are only some buildings with shadows of the old era around, and nothing else exists.
"Huh? Didn't the old man and the old woman say that this place was burned down?" Wang Qingqing looked up at the door sign of Yong'an Garage. The yellowed and rusty iron sign hung above his head. Some of the screws were loose, and it might not be too long.
It will fall to the ground every year.
There are stone pillars on both sides of the door. It can be seen with the naked eye that it has experienced many winds and frosts. The pillars were carved with some patterns that are difficult to see clearly now. However, just seeing the grandeur of the door, it is not difficult to guess why it was called "Yongan Garage" at that time.
It will become a luxury place...
Qianye looked at the stone pillar more carefully and found that in addition to the carvings, the stone pillar seemed to have been hit by a vehicle. There were broken traces on the corners, and the traces were quite new.
"Maybe they remembered it wrong." Qianye didn't want to tell the weirdness here. He didn't want Wang Qingqing to panic before he knew what the specific situation was.
"Remember wrong?"
Naturally, this reason could not convince Wang Qingqing, but she didn't ask much. Just when she was about to think deeply, she felt Qianye tap her shoulder twice, and then heard a reminder.
"Let's go in first. Since the address is here, it's already there no matter what, so there's nothing wrong with going and taking a look."
"Oh...ok."
Wang Qingqing nodded, shook her head to throw it and the tedious thoughts out of her mind, and then walked towards the Yongan garage with her head.
No matter what the old man and the old lady said, what she cared about now was Wang Chengcheng's situation. After all, judging from the previous phone call, Wang Chengcheng seemed to be controlled by those people.
Thinking of the crime scenes in movies and TV dramas, Wang Qingqing couldn't help but feel nervous. She was afraid that she would see Wang Chengcheng being hurt soon, or that she would encounter some accident...
And thinking.
Wang Qingqing also inadvertently glanced at Qianye and He Liang beside her. Her nervous mood relaxed a little. However, the current situation was still much better than if she had come alone.
Qianye and Su Zao are men after all.
With the two of them joining, Wang Qingqing's sense of security has also been slightly improved...
Yongan Garage is larger than the three of them imagined.
As an old-fashioned car wash shop, its decoration style and layout are simply alien compared to today's car wash shops.
After entering the large house like a factory workshop, what you can see is a pile of car parts piled randomly, or gasoline stains accidentally left on the ground.
Parts are old and new.
The new one looks like it has just been dismantled recently, as if it can be sold outside at a normal second-hand price with a little polish. The old one is covered with cobwebs, and tall spiders are waiting quietly on the cobwebs, making it an exclusive piece.
Artwork from people who are afraid of bugs…
The entire Yongan Garage has three floors in total. The style is a duplex building. The stairs are in the rooms. When standing in the hall, you only need to look up to see the corridors on the second and third floors.
It's just that the stair handrails are all rusty, and the corridor is still extremely narrow. Even if there is only enough distance for two people to pass by, they can only pass sideways.
There are no lights in the garage.
Maybe it's broken, maybe people here don't want to turn it on to save power.
So except for the sky that shines in from the gate, the further you go in, the more you can feel the darkness here.
"The address should be right here..." Wang Qingqing looked around and said with a complicated expression.
There is only one place in the old city called Yongan Garage.
The signboard at the door is obviously not an object that can be easily moved, so there should be no possibility of finding it in the wrong place.
But besides the matter of "burning", there was another problem that puzzled Wang Qingqing.
Since that group of people had told them this address, and Wang Chengcheng seemed to be under their control, it was unlikely that this place would be like it is now, with not even a ghost visible.
After thinking for a while, Wang Qingqing turned her head and looked at Qianye. Her mobile phone had been controlled by Qianye since yesterday, so she could only ask Qianye for help when making calls...
"Can you give them a call for me?"
"I see, there doesn't seem to be anyone here..." Wang Qingqing said.
Qianye naturally had no reason to refuse.
Of course, he couldn't refuse at this time. Since everyone was here, there was nothing wrong with solving Wang Qingqing's matter quickly. From a certain perspective, solving Wang Qingqing's matter was actually equivalent to Qianye solving his own troubles.
No matter what, he doesn't want this matter to get too big, and then bring on some things that he doesn't have...
Taking out Wang Qingqing's mobile phone, and then flipping to the dialog box for chatting with Wang Chengcheng, Qianye pressed the dial button without much hesitation.
The ringing began to echo through the empty garage...
There are even some echoes that bounce back after hitting the wall.
It's just that these echoes seem a little weird, and they sound inexplicably making people feel a little chilly on the back.
Toot toot…
The phone call lasts a few moments.
When the phone was about to hang up automatically, the person on the other end finally picked up the phone, and then came a hoarse male voice.
"Hey...what's going on?"
the person on the other end asked.
Qianye didn't take the initiative to answer. After hearing the other party's voice, he took the initiative to hand the phone in the direction of Wang Qingqing, indicating that she would negotiate with the other party.
Wang Qingqing understood Qianye's meaning. She also stretched her head a little longer, and then asked on the phone: "I have brought the money to Yong'an Garage now, but I don't see where you are."
"Have you come to Yongan Garage?"
The voice of the person opposite was raised a bit, perhaps because he didn't expect Wang Qingqing to move so quickly and act so decisively, and there was some surprise in his tone.
After a pause of two seconds, the man laughed twice, and then replied to Wang Qingqing: "Okay, okay, okay... then you wait for me for two minutes, I will take care of the things here, and come over to see you."
.”
After saying that, the man planned to hang up the phone.
"etc!"
Wang Qingqing stopped the man's movements. She swallowed with difficulty and added: "Where is my brother? He is with you now, right? I have to listen to his voice."
She doesn't have many requirements.
I just felt an inexplicable uneasiness in my heart, wanting to prove that Wang Chengcheng was indeed in this place and not that he had been deceived.
"You will see him soon. There is no need to be in such a hurry. I will bring him here when I come to see you." However, the man did not agree to Wang Qingqing's request. After he casually turned a corner and finished speaking, he did not wait.
Wang Qingqing hung up the phone immediately when she spoke again.
Listening to the busy tone from the phone.
In addition, her simple request to hear her brother's voice was rejected, and Wang Qingqing slowly felt a sense of discomfort in her heart.
She couldn't put it into words, she just felt like something was pressing on her chest, and her uneasiness made her a little breathless...
"It's okay, relax."
"If he said to wait for two minutes, then we can just wait for a while." Qianye said comfortingly.
Hear the words.
Wang Qingqing nodded, then suppressed her inner uneasiness.
During this period, Qianye observed the garage. How should I put it, although on the surface it was indeed a garage with a sense of age, but for some reason, he always felt a little weird in it.
There are oil stains left on the garage wall from many years ago. The car wash area opposite the door and the water gun next to it are also covered with thick dust...
While observing, Qianye was stunned for a moment.
He looked at the gate with great curiosity, and without Su Zao or Wang Qingqing noticing, he walked towards the gate.
There is a green linen bag on the left hand side of the door. The bag is only the size of a twenty-pound rice bag. Compared with the old items around it, this bag is obviously newer...
Of course, this is not a surprising point.
After all, although the garage has had its time, it has become the "base" of the drag racing party. It is normal to have something new. What's more, this pocket is not the only thing that is brand new. The other bits and pieces of machine parts are not as old.
Where to go.
What caught Chino's main attention was a bracelet placed on the edge of his pocket...
Qianye knelt down and stared at the bracelet for a moment.
He reached out and picked up the bracelet, and saw the mark "999 pure silver" on it. It was obviously a silver bracelet.
"Darkened?"
"Has this thing been burned?"
Qianye put the bracelet in the palm of his hand and rubbed it. The shape of the bracelet itself had been slightly deformed, and the black stains on it were directly wiped off after Qianye wiped it with a little force.
This level of burning is obviously not something that can be caused by small objects such as lighters. Even silver can be burned and deformed. At least it has to be thrown into a brazier with a blazing flame and burned for a period of time.
but......
Who would throw their bracelet into the brazier and burn it as if they had nothing to do?
Why don't you just throw it away if you don't want it anymore?
This thing is a bit weird, but not that weird. After all, Qianye has heard similar love stories before, such as a couple breaking up or something, deliberately using sabotage to damage things given to them by the other party in order to achieve a certain goal.
A catharsis of emotions.
There are not many examples, but it cannot be said that they do not exist...
It's just that the matter of burning the bracelet at this time was so consistent with the story told by the old man and woman when the three of them came in, that Qianye had to think in a worse direction.
"A fire broke out in the Yongan garage, and even the surrounding houses were affected by the fire. The Yongan garage itself, which is at the center of the fire, can only be worse."
"There should be no need for those two old men to lie to us..."
"Even if they hate the racing gang and think we are part of the racing gang, they won't use such lies to tease us. Logically speaking, it doesn't make sense."
Just as Qianye was thinking, a sound of footsteps suddenly sounded from the third floor of the garage and was clearly transmitted to his ears, temporarily interrupting his thoughts at the moment.
Wang Qingqing and Su Zao naturally heard it too.
The three of them looked up at the third floor at the same time, and saw that in a room in the narrow corridor, an iron door was pushed open from the inside out, and then a man of medium age walked out of it.
young people.
"You are Wang Chengcheng's sister, right?" The young man didn't have much of a good look on his face, and his tone of voice when facing Wang Qingqing was a little joking.
He has dyed light brown hair, earrings in his ears, and a leather jacket. He is very similar to Yang Kaixin's dress at that time. It can be seen that his personality should be the same as Yang Kaixin's.
Well, to put it simply.
Just from the surface, you can tell that he is a gangster, but the logo on the other person's clothes shows that he is different from other gangsters in that he is a gangster with some money.
"Are you the one who called me?"
"Where is my brother?"
When Wang Qingqing saw the young man showing up, he couldn't help but ask him about Wang Chengcheng's whereabouts.
"Hey, hey, don't worry...as long as you pay me every penny of the compensation, you will naturally see your brother." The young man said jokingly with a hoarse cigarette voice.
Obviously.
He didn't take Wang Qingqing seriously, nor did he take Qianye and Su Zao seriously. There was no politeness at all at this time.
"Are you lying to me? You said that as long as I bring the money, you will let me see my brother. Now that I haven't seen him, how can you expect me to give you the money with confidence?"
Perhaps because there were two men, Qian Ye and Su Zao, Wang Qingqing felt confident when confronting the brown-haired young man, and immediately questioned him angrily.
"Lied to you?"
"You're just kidding me..."
"When I called you, I told you to come here alone, but you brought two men with you. If you have to worry about who lied to whom, it was you who lied to me first, right?" the brown-haired young man said with a smile.
.
After hearing his words, Wang Qingqing was at a loss for words for a while.
Wang Qingqing could not remember the specific content of the conversation as to whether she was asked to bring money alone. At that time, she only cared about her brother Wang Chengcheng's situation, so she could not pay attention to so many details.
The lengthy conversation between the two made Su Zao a little impatient.
The reason why he agreed to come here was because he wanted to solve the trouble quickly and leave quickly. Seeing that things were developing in a sloppy way, he couldn't help but frown and said to the brown-haired man:
"We're here when it's time to come. If you want to give someone, give it quickly. Don't waste time talking nonsense here."
Okay, Su Zao's tone and words did sound a bit awkward.
Since neither Wang Qingqing nor the brown-haired man recognized Su Zao, they couldn't help but be a little surprised when they heard this.
Wang Qingqing was surprised that Su Zao was really willing to stand up for her. She was surprised that Qianye and Su Zao came here with the intention of not just trying to get people killed, but that they were really willing to speak for themselves.
What surprised the brown-haired man was Su Zao's temper.
This person was unfamiliar with this place, and he was on his own territory. Seeing that Su Zao dared to speak to him like this, he admired Su Zao's courage...
