“How long is the wait?”
“Five minutes.” He grumbled, but his hands were tapping away at the keyboard; the boy had been born to do this, and instead of being tired, he was enjoying it.
“It’s transferred out, Jiang Yunqing didn’t move in, only these two are more suspicious.”
Meng Meng pulled up the identities of those two people for me to see. One was called Liu Hui, 36 years old this year, not from this province, very thin looking, but I didn’t recognize his face.
“This man is an auto mechanic, this car, does it look like the Porsche you saw last night?”
“It’s not.” I said.
Monk laughed, “Captain, you’re too rich to recognise this car, it’s an imitation Porsche, made to look like this on purpose.”
“I don’t know much about cars, I don’t quite recognise it, have you compared the number plates yet?”
“The plates were set, but from the characteristics of the vehicle, it was the same car. See if you can recognise this man who lives with him.”
Mon pulled up the photo of the other man for me to see, this one with a hat on.
“No photo ID?”
“He didn’t register his ID, that’s all I saw when I tapped into the camera used to take pictures at the front desk of the hotel. Does it look like that?”
“A little.” I said, “But this is too blurry. But I can basically pinpoint these two, so keep an eye on them for me and don’t do anything rash for a couple of days, so they can let their guard down. Also, help me pull up all of Jiang Yunqing’s records immediately.”
“Aiyo captain, I have a headache when you mention this Jiang Yunqing, his movements are too erratic, sometimes the cameras can’t even locate him, I suspect this guy is a bird and can fly over freely.”
My phone vibrated in my pocket, I told Meng Meng to go down and have some breakfast first, I’ll take a call and watch the footage later.
“Zhang Chao.”
As soon as the person on the phone opened her mouth, I was stunned by her voice before I even had a chance to say hello.
“Lin Fang.”
“Listen to me, I need to see you for a moment.”
“What exactly did you want to say to me when you approached Chu Xiao Xiao last time, you could have just told me over the phone.”
“I need to see you once, and I can only say it in person, I’m afraid of being bugged.”
I sneered, “If your phone is bugged, then this phone call you’re making to me now has already revealed your identity, and why did you run last time I chased you out?”
“You don’t understand, you trust me, I have what you want.”
“How do you know what I want?”
I wouldn’t believe a punctuation mark of Lin Fang’s words, how much I once loved her and how disappointed I am now.
“The keys.”
“What keys?” I asked, “If you keep beating around the bush, I’m going to hang up.”
“Don’t hang up, what other key could you want? The same key that you and Zhao Zichen are both looking for.”
The notebook?
“Tell me clearly, what key is it exactly? Don’t play this game with me, if you’re still going to play this game, get out of my sight with your stuff before it’s too late. You attempted to murder me with this set last time, I’ve been looking for you and still can’t find it, now you want to play this set again, do you take people for fools.”
I was in a hurry and broke into a tirade.
“Let’s meet, I can’t wait long, if you don’t want it, I’ll find another buyer within a week.”
With that, Lin Fang hung up the phone.
Her tone was flustered and she hung up after a few words.
I wrote down the number and opened up Meng Meng’s computer and entered the phone number to counter-check to locate Lin Fang’s location. I didn’t expect to locate her in Finland, and it looked like she was using an internet phone.
How could Lin Fang have had the key to her laptop in her hand?
There was a 90 per cent chance that this woman was donkeying me, and her word could not be trusted.
But what if there is ……
But this woman has a history of lying, and I thought about it and decided I couldn’t take it too seriously.
The actual fact is that it will take a while to investigate Jiang Yunqing’s trajectory, so I suggest we start with Liu Hui, and I tell him to keep an eye on Liu Hui.
The fox came back with news that Arashi’s life had been saved, but he was still in intensive care and would not wake up for a while.
My heart sank. With Arashi like this, we had one less lead in the case.
In the afternoon, I asked Meng Meng if there was any news from Liu Hui.
“Very strange.”
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
“They haven’t been out all day, which shouldn’t be, and isn’t he afraid we’ll find them up there?”
I frowned and said, “Come on, let’s go and see.”
“Just the two of us?” Monk asked.
“Yeah, bring the pinhole camera.”
Monk, who had a confused look on his face and who rarely goes out in the field, grinned and gave me a thumbs up after hearing my remark.
The two of us took a random car and set off. Since Meng Meng doesn’t usually go out in the field, everyone thought it was quite strange.
“You guys keep an eye on the house, no one goes out, wait for me to come back ah.” I instructed Cai Xiaobing, who was confused and just nodded stupidly.
I really doubt that this kid is in love with a fool, can he still lead Snow Leopard like this now?
After the car started, Meng Meng drove on and asked, “Captain, who are you trying?”
“You can, Meng Meng, you’ve seen through me this time, Xiao Cai is getting more and more naive. It’s not about testing anyone, you’re all my brothers, how could I possibly doubt you? It’s why bother.”
“You’re going to let him slip?”
“Something like that.” I told Monk what had happened this morning and said, “I have a feeling that He Bi doesn’t want us to get involved.”
Monk wondered, “Why? Who else could he be working with now? The company would just get him killed.”
“I’m not sure about that, but I can sense that there’s something this guy is hiding from us. If he really wanted to ditch us for Jiang Yang tonight, then he would have taken the opportunity to slip away. But you’re the one he’s most worried about, this guy is also very good at counter-surveillance, only by transferring you will this guy dare to boldly bolt, O Meng Meng, you’re the eyes of our team now, without you we’re blind.”
Meng Meng was a little embarra*sed: “Captain don’t praise me so much, I’m drifting. But aren’t you afraid he’ll take advantage of the opportunity to escape?”
I let out a long sigh, it was hard to say whether I was afraid or not.
There were some things I did have a tendency to say in my heart, but I couldn’t say it in front of others, after all, it was a serious breach of discipline.
“Captain, I can understand. To be honest, I’m also conflicted in my heart, I’ve been monitoring him for so long, staring at the screen every day to see this man, to see him worrying about his students every day, he really is a good teacher. I want to let him go, but what he’s doing is really not good …… you say this person, when he’s a good person, he’s honestly a good person, when he’s a bad person, he’s honestly a bad person, he touches both ends, making it difficult for us.”
I leaned back in my chair and was talking, my thoughts were similar to Meng Meng’s.
After a while, I said, “He’s not going to run away, if you know this guy you’ll know that there’s absolutely no way he’ll run away on his own and not go save Jiang Yang.”
“I hope so.”
Meng Meng said hopefully, but I could feel that his heart was thinking much the same as mine, both thinking that if He Bi ran away this time, then so be it, we would definitely go and save Jiang Yang at night anyway.
We drove to the Huilong Hotel and both of us put on a hat each to cover our faces.
“Two gentlemen, are you looking for someone?”
We were both about to head upstairs when we were called by the receptionist, who was smiling and couldn’t see anything out of the ordinary.
Monk rarely goes out in the field, he’s not very communicative, and he blushed so much at once at being looked at by a beautiful woman that he couldn’t speak.
“Yes, we’re looking for someone.” I said.
“Sorry, we don’t receive visiting guests here, so if you’re looking for someone, ask him to come downstairs and pick you up.”
This waiter said with a leathery smile, I didn’t expect this hotel to look not high cla*s, but so many rules.
