On the river embankment in the south of the city, a black Audi was parked on the embankment. Tongdao Xu, dressed in a black suit and a black windbreaker, stood not far behind the car, squinting at the shallow water falling at the bottom of the river.
He held half a cigarette in his hand and took a puff from time to time.
Xi Dongyang leaned his butt against the rear of the car and was smoking. His eyes were looking at Comrade Xu's back.
They were originally going to the city today.
On the way, they received a call from Bai Jingjing. Under Xu Tongdao's instructions, they turned around and came back.
After returning to Shazhou County, Xu Tongdao didn't want to go home, so he suddenly asked him to drive the car to the river embankment.
It was quite cold on the river embankment on the fifth day of the first lunar month.
The river embankment under my feet was frozen hard, and the wind blowing from the river cut my face like a knife, which was very uncomfortable.
but……
Xi Dongyang could understand Xu Tongdao's mood at this time. He had worked under Xu Tongdao for several years. He had already heard the rumors about Xu Tongdao's father from Xu Tonglin.
Elope with my sister-in-law...
When he heard about this, he was shocked.
Xu Tongdao's father is so ridiculous?
I didn't expect that a phone call on the way today would cause such a big change in this matter.
Framing the blame... throwing dirty water... killing people...
These words flashed through Xi Dongyang's mind, so he could really understand Xu Tongdao's mood at this time.
He was thinking: Was Comrade Xu happy when he suddenly heard such news? Or was he sad?
If his father was really killed and then framed and slandered, his father's bad reputation in recent years could be reversed.
But... the price is death.
So, is Comrade Xu happy? Or sad?
…
About twenty minutes later.
Xu Tongdao, who had already smoked a few cigarettes, finally heard the ringtone of his mobile phone in his trouser pocket.
Comrade Xu opened his half-closed eyes, threw away the cigarette butt, took out his mobile phone and put it to his ear, listening to Ge Lianghua's report on the phone without saying a word.
"Xiaodao! Bai Jingen was caught! It was our people who caught him. The old boy was already running to the county town, but he couldn't stop the car on the road, so he went to the West River and took a ride to the county town.
Boat, hum, and then it was me
Our people were stuck in the boat. The old boy was really not afraid of death. He actually jumped off the boat in such a cold weather. He wanted to swim to the shore and continue running. But our brothers knew how to swim, so the three brothers jumped into the water.
Caught him..."
On the phone, Ge Lianghua talked non-stop for several minutes.
Tongdao Xu only asked a few questions.
"Where are you now?"
"Did he admit it? Was my dad... killed by him?"
"Where is Bai Meifeng? Let him tell you where Bai Meifeng is now!"
…
And Ge Lianghua’s answer was:
"We are now at the rice mill in Qidong Village. We have captured three of Bai Jingen's brothers. Two of them are from Qidong Village. The rice mill belongs to the uncle of one of the brothers. We are currently interrogating the old boy!
"
"No! Hey! This old boy is so tight-lipped. No matter how much the brothers press him, he just won't admit it or admit anything! But the more stubborn he is, the more we suspect he is lying! Otherwise, he has no reason.
You won’t say anything, right?”
"Bai Meifeng? No! That old boy is too tight-lipped. He will never admit that he and Bai Meifeng had an affair. He will kill him even if he says it!"
But we just found on his mobile phone that he had two call records with Bai Meifeng this year, one of which was made more than 20 minutes ago.
But even if this old boy is about to die, he still refuses to say where Bai Meifeng is now, but don’t worry, we will continue to interrogate him! We will definitely pry his mouth open! "
…
Hearing this, Comrade Xu was silent for a few seconds. Suddenly his eyes sharpened and he said in a deep voice: "Cousin! You leave two people to continue interrogating him! All the others come to the county town. First send people to guard the bus stations, train stations, and other places.
People go to various hotels and guesthouses and search for me!
Just say what I said! Who can find Bai Meifeng for me? The reward is 500,000 yuan! Leave quickly!"
Ge Lianghua hesitated, and after a few seconds, he asked in a complicated tone: "Xiaodao, you, are you telling the truth?"
Tongdao Xu narrowed his eyes and said with certainty, "Really!"
Ge Lianghua: "Okay!"
After a pause, he added: "But, Xiaodao, what if Bai Meifeng is not in the county now? Otherwise, I ask our people in the city to take action too? Guard the city's bus stations, train stations, etc.
?”
Xu Tongdao: "Okay! Anyway, you must find her out for me!"
Ge Lianghua: "Okay! I'll try my best!"
…
The call ends.
Comrade Xu took out his cigarette case, lowered his head and lit another one.
Half-closed eyes, deep gaze.
After exhaling a mouthful of smoke, he turned around and strode towards the car door. At the same time, he told Xi Dongyang: "Dongyang! Let's go! Get in the car! Accompany me to a place!"
Xi Dongyang raised his eyelids, nodded immediately, and threw away the cigarette butt.
Before getting into the car, Comrade Xu also threw away the newly lit cigarette, stamped it out, and got into the car.
"Where to go?"
When Xi Dongyang got into the car and fastened his seat belt, he turned around and asked.
Xu Tongdao: "Happy community!"
"Oh, good!"
Xi Dongyang responded and quickly started the car and drove down the river embankment.
…
Xingfu Community is the community where Xu Tongdao's cousins Bai Lanlan and Mili live.
When Bai Lanlan got married, Xu Tongdao came here once with his parents. Because the name of this community has the word "happiness" in it, he remembered it.
At this time, he wanted to go to Xingfu Community in person. Naturally, he wanted to see in person whether Bai Meifeng was living with his daughter Bai Lanlan recently.
After all, someone saw Bai Meifeng coming back recently.
Bai Meifeng has even gone back to her hometown in Baiwan Village, and maybe she has stayed at Bai Lanlan's place recently!
Daughter!
Even though Bai Meifeng had a bad reputation for eloping, maybe Bai Lanlan had already forgiven her.
Even...Bai Lanlan has known for a long time that Bai Meifeng had a hidden secret behind her elopement. Maybe Bai Lanlan has been helping Bai Meifeng cover it up in recent years.
The above are all Tongdao Xu's guesses.
He wasn't sure if it was accurate, so he wanted to see it for himself.
If Bai Meifeng really hides with Bai Lanlan, that would be for the best.
If he is not hiding there, then he can exclude this place and let his men search the county and other places in the city with all their strength.
About half an hour later.
Xu Tongdao and Xi Dongyang came to Bai Lanlan's house.
In fact, Xu Tongdao had long forgotten which building and room Bai Lanlan lived in, so when they just found Xingfu Community, they spent some time inquiring about it in the guard room.
At first, the man in the guard room was very tight-lipped and unwilling to say anything.
Tongdao Xu noticed the cigarettes in the guard's hand, and handed all the half-packs of Huazi in his arms to the uncle. The uncle then relaxed and checked for them.
pity……
Knocking on the door of Bai Lanlan's house, only Bai Lanlan's mother-in-law and a little girl were at home. Not to mention Bai Meifeng, even Bai Lanlan and Mi Li were not at home.
