"It's not yet certain whether the plot will return to its original trajectory, so we can't put all our expectations on Zhang Jianmin..."
After careful planning, Xia Xu decided to take a two-pronged approach.
After all, Zhang Jianmin is the protagonist of the plot. Even if he deviates from the original fate track, there may be other similar plots. Moreover, if the antique plot does not match, there will be follow-up plots, so you still need to find someone to keep an eye on.
But he couldn't just hang himself on such a tree. He might also try to find the old man at the construction site.
The synopsis of the plot revealed a bit of information. Zhang Jianmin signed up for a travel agency called Ctrip, and then wandered from the busy city to a remote construction site where he met an old construction site man selling antiques.
Using these, you should actually have the opportunity to confirm the general range. You can find out the locations of each offline store of Ctrip Travel Agency through the official website of Ctrip Travel Agency or map software.
Coupled with the information revealed in the plot description, Zhang Jianmin was wandering aimlessly, breaking away from the flow of people and arriving at a remote construction site.
Since he is wandering, he must be walking on his legs and cannot run very far, so the store he signs up for must meet the conditions of being in an area with sufficient traffic and having a remote construction site nearby.
"In addition, everyone has a scope of daily activities, and when doing things, they must adhere to the principle of being close. It is impossible to seek trouble far away from the near..."
Xia Xu found an Internet cafe and opened a computer. After some operations, he quickly found out the locations of all the offline outlets of Xingyou Travel Agency in Star City. He also compared the geographical location with the possible scope of Zhang Jianmin's activities and finally confirmed a piece of information.
area.
Unsurprisingly, and even more logically, this area happened to be near the area where we were gambling today.
Although many real estates there are still under development, there are also some residential areas developed in phases nearby that have been handed over, and small business districts have also been opened nearby. In addition, if you go into the city, there is a large bustling area, which surrounds the development zone.
All prosperous areas meet the filter conditions.
Moreover, the area around the community where we gambled today is still under development. Bars, nightclubs, and even night markets such as barbecue stalls are basically not open there at present. Even if they are, most people will not rush there to visit.
.
The fact that Zhang Jianmin appeared there after a hangover proves that it is either the area where he lives and works in his daily life, or that he often goes there for some reason.
After hearing the bad news and knowing that he was about to die soon, Xia Xu thought about it for himself. His first thought must be to go home. Even if he wanted to get drunk, he would be alone at home and depressed or with important relatives and friends.
Therefore, it can basically be determined that it is the area where Zhang Jianmin's home is located, or at least the area where his relatives or close friends are. If he wants to sign up with a travel agency in an offline store, he must look for it nearby.
It's just that these areas are still not small, and there are three stores of Ctrip Travel Agency. We can only confirm which one they are when we have time.
…
The next day, Monday.
Xia Xu arrived at school on time with her schoolbag in hand.
I have to complain here, reading is really strenuous work. If you bring a bunch of high school textbooks with you, it will be like moving bricks at a construction site.
The morning class was basically peaceful. The only thing that made Xia Xu a little uncomfortable was that his classmates had been peeking at him, staring at him and whispering to him throughout the morning.
As for the reason, he asked his deskmate Ma Bing. In fact, it was about helping Tang Youxin find her wallet last Friday.
He caught Zhuo Ren on the spot for stealing money. This was a real social death. At the very least, he would be labeled a 'thief' in this class from now on. Therefore, he naturally couldn't stay here any longer, so he just decided to do it today.
Didn't come to class.
It is said that his parents went through the transfer procedures for him overnight, and now he has been transferred to another school. I don't know who is well-informed who released the news.
However, the hot topic of being caught red-handed stealing money still spread in the class, after all, most people saw it at the time.
The 'live audience' are talking excitedly to those who haven't seen it, usually mainly their deskmates. Occasionally, some people talk excitedly and look proud, as if they are their own achievements or personal achievements.
Participated in general.
As the protagonist of the 'thief' has left, Xia Xu, the other protagonist of the incident, has naturally become the only object of attention. Whenever this matter is mentioned, he will point and glance here. It can be said that it is also some kind of
A disguised form of 'prestige'.
Of course, this was just a temporary novelty, and it basically stopped after a morning. However, Xia Xu received good news at noon.
The reward for reporting gambling has arrived, totaling 56,000 yuan. According to calculations, nearly one million of Yao Dawu's gambling money was seized. The police called him to confirm whether it had arrived.
Xia Xu naturally received the remittance text message, and after replying there, he also inquired about the details of the case.
Yao Dawu must have been charged with gathering a crowd to gamble, but Xue Mingjie had already washed his hands of the crime. This time he was only forced to participate under threats, so it did not constitute a gambling crime.
The same goes for Zhang Jianmin. Compared with gathering people to gamble, the definition of simple gambling crimes is still relatively vague. Zhang Jianmin had never even played daily cards, let alone gambling. This time, he got involved not long after his death. He was not trying to win money.
Considering the special circumstances, it is not considered a gambling crime.
Xia Xu doesn't know much about this aspect and doesn't care too much.
What concerned him more, or rather gave him a headache, was the whereabouts of Zhang Jianmin.
After all, he was not a professional, and he did not know much about the laws and procedures in this area. According to his plan, Zhang Jianmin would have to be detained for a day or two for investigation, so letting him go so directly caught him off guard.
Although it is speculated that Zhang Jianmin's residence may be at the construction site, trying to find it based on this vague range is like looking for a needle in a haystack. I tried asking the police station but got no comment on suspected privacy.
"Forget it, I'm lucky enough to lose my life, it's enough to earn fifty or sixty thousand, not to mention there should be some opportunities with the old man at the construction site..."
Xia Xu comforted himself in his heart.
It's just that human greed is not so easy to calm down and control. It is human nature to want something when you don't have it, and to want more after you have it.
Even though I have already made a lot of money, I am not even sure if there is any benefit to be gained from the plot of "The Dying Man", but the thought of missing out on such a cash cow like Zhang Jianmin still fills my heart with regret and unwillingness.
However, the current reality is that Zhang Jianmin has lost his trace, and it is useless no matter how unwilling he is.
Thinking about it rationally, even if he now knows where Zhang Jianmin is, he is actually too busy to follow him all the time. It will only be a matter of time before he loses his trace.
"You still need to hire someone to help. If there are "Hunters" and "The Dying Man" in this world, there will inevitably be other plots. If you want to plan and arrange, there must be someone to keep an eye on the development of the characters and the plot..."
Xia Xu originally thought of finding the old man at the construction site first, but now he feels that finding manpower is also a top priority.
