I increased the dose of medicine, but still couldn't get out the secret code.
The sky is getting dark.
Oshima's forehead was also sweaty. He thought it would be a trivial matter, but he didn't expect it to be so strenuous.
Sugawara Eda stood aside expressionlessly.
The agent walked over quickly, bowed and said: "Team Leader Sugawara, the call is on."
In order to make a blackmail call to Gu Mansion easily, they set up a private phone line when it was dark and no one was paying attention.
Sugawarae thought that since he couldn't ask questions in a short time, he could only put off the matter for a while.
…
Xiafei Road, French Concession.
In the living room of Gu Mansion, the middle-aged man sitting in the middle is Representative Gu.
In order to attend my daughter's wedding, I took time out of my busy schedule to return to China. When I got home, I heard bad news: the bride-to-be, Gu Qingcheng, was missing.
Mrs. Gu sat beside her, while Gu Linglong stood behind her mother with an uneasy expression.
Ring ring ring!
The phone on the table rang.
"Hello?"
Gu Linglong stepped forward and reached out to pick up the phone.
"It's me." Xu Siqi's voice on the phone.
"What's up?"
"Has Qingcheng come back?"
"not yet."
"If you have any news, give me a call."
"OK."
The call was immediately hung up.
Gu Linglong slowly returned to her mother's side.
Mrs. Gu asked: "Is this Siqi's phone number?"
"Um."
"How did he say?"
"I just asked if Qingcheng is back."
"Oh, this kid Qingcheng is so annoying. He's not back so late..."
Mrs. Gu said worriedly.
In fact, she knew very well that things were never as simple as she said.
Under normal circumstances, since she had arranged to meet Xu Siqi, how could Qingcheng not even say hello and suddenly disappear for an entire afternoon?
Representative Gu frowned and looked up at the clock on the wall from time to time.
Gu Linglong hesitated for a while and said, "Father, mother. Qingcheng hasn't come back for so long. Could something have happened? How about sending someone out to look for it?"
Representative Gu said: "Don't panic, stay calm when something happens and wait a little longer."
Mrs. Gu also said: "Qingcheng loves to play, and it is common for her to come back late. Last summer, she went out on her bike in the morning, and I waited until after nine o'clock in the evening and almost called the patrol room in a hurry. As a result, she
I have been on the Suzhou River all the time, saying that I lost track of time while playing cards on a friend’s boat.”
Representative Gu snorted and said solemnly: "..."
Ring ring ring!
The phone rang again.
Gu Linglong reached out and picked up the phone.
"I drank too much, and I was at my classmate's house..." Gu Qingcheng's voice came on the phone.
"Qingcheng? Where are you? My family is dying of panic."
"It's my classmate's birthday. I had a few drinks. I'm staying at her house tonight. I'll go back early tomorrow morning."
"Where are you? Hey, hey, hey..."
A busy signal came from the receiver.
…
About two hours ago.
Shanghai North Railway Station.
Woo——
Accompanied by the sound of air brakes braking, the train came to an abrupt stop dragging white water vapor.
After the train stopped, the compartment doors opened one after another, and passengers from all over the world got off the train and walked towards the exit of the station in twos and threes.
Outside the platform, Zheng Zheng held a cigarette in his mouth and looked around boredly. Seeing passengers coming out one after another, he quickly raised the whiteboard in his hand.
Ten minutes later, a large rattan box came over.
The reason why I describe it like this is because looking from a distance, I can only see the vine box moving slowly, and I can't see the person carrying the box at all.
When Zheng Zheng approached, Tengmuxiang said loudly: "Hello, I am Wu Yanhui, and Wang Shen is my cousin."
A hand stretched out from under the box and handed over an ID card.
After seeing the certificate, he solemnly said: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Zheng Zheng."
"Hello, Brother Zheng, my cousin often mentions you."
"You won't be angry at any one place when you mention me, right?"
"My cousin said that you are a righteous person..."
"Brother, how old are you this year?"
Through the light, Zheng Zheng finally saw Wu Yanhui's face clearly.
It was a face full of childishness, and with a slightly thin body, he looked like a half-grown child.
"Eighteen years old." Wu Yanhui replied.
"Are you eighteen?"
"I have a tender face. When many people see me for the first time, they think I am fifteen or sixteen years old at most."
"With your small body, you still want to be a patrolman?"
"Brother Zheng, don't underestimate me, I'm very powerful. I learned martial arts when I was a child, and most people can't beat me..."
"Why are you carrying the box?"
"The handle is broken, so I can only carry it."
"Are you from Tianjin?"
"Not from Jixian County."
"oh……"
"Brother Zheng, actually we have met before."
"Have we met? When?"
"When I was eight years old, I went to Tianjin with my father. At that time, you happened to be at my cousin's house and gave me a piece of sesame candy."
After solemnly recalling it for a while, he said with a smile: "When you said that, I remembered that you were chubby at that time and dressed like a small landowner."
Wu Yanhui also smiled and said: "I am the only child in the family. All the delicious food is given to me, otherwise I can't be so fat..."
The two of them talked and came outside the train station.
Not far from Shanghai North Railway Station, there is a hotel called "Hutchison".
Zheng Zheng had already booked the room.
After entering the room, Wu Yanhui quickly came to the window, looked out through the glass, and praised: "No wonder people say that ten miles of foreign land, a world of flowers. The night view of Shanghai is so beautiful."
He said solemnly: "Listening to these few words, I believe you are eighteen years old."
Wu Yanhui smiled and said, "Brother Zheng, I heard from my cousin that you are also on duty in the patrol room?"
"right."
"Do you think I can become a patrol officer?"
"You have to ask Xu Siqi about this matter."
"Then, when can I see him?"
"Just these three or two days."
He solemnly pulled up his chair and sat down, glanced at the rattan box on the floor, and said, "Aren't you tired of carrying such a big box after such a long journey?"
Wu Yanhui said: "Change of clothes, bedding, and some books..."
"Do you like reading books?"
"like."
"What kind of books do you like?"
“I read all kinds of books, it’s very complicated.”
"Let's go, I'll take you to dinner."
"No need to bother. I brought dry food and sugar cakes baked by my mother..."
Wu Yanhui squatted down, pretending to open the rattan box, and said: "There are also salted radish shreds, dry tofu shreds, spicy cabbage, oh, and fried grasshoppers. When I was eating them in the car, the lady next to me was all eyes.
I'm going to stare at you. Brother Zheng, you should try it too, it's delicious..."
"We've arrived in Shanghai, what solid food do we need to eat? If Wang Shen finds out, he won't be able to call me a hard-nosed coward. Stop dawdling, hurry up." He urged solemnly.
"Then I would rather obey your orders than be respectful." Wu Yanhui said with a smile.
"You are so young, how can you speak so old-fashioned..."
