Chapter 234 Tombs of the Three Kingdoms
"Holy crap!" The fat man pretended to be surprised: "It's not a criminal gang, is it?"
"I don't know." The driver shook his head, then lit a cigarette and said, "But I heard someone say that the reason why Shangqiu, a small county town, is particularly popular during this period is because of a small hill here.
Opening up wasteland and blowing up an ancient tomb..."
"Ancient tombs?" The fat man asked curiously: "There are ancient tombs in this wretched place of yours."
"How do you say that?" the driver replied: "I heard that Shangqiu used to be an ancient city. Some experts from Beijing also identified it and said that a large number of ancient city walls from the Three Kingdoms period were found near Shangqiu, as well as weapons and armor. I don't know if it is
True or false.”
Seeing that the conversation had reached this point, I interrupted: "Master Liu, do you mean that those groups of people came to rob tombs?"
"I...I just made a guess, and no one has any proof."
"Do we all pay attention to gangs committing crimes nowadays?" The fat man handed the driver another cigarette: "How cowardly! Don't you do it alone?"
"Don't tell me. Yesterday, I picked up a very strange person. He didn't say a word after getting in the car, and he acted like a mute. He chartered a car to drive around the county like you, and he left five hundred yuan behind when he left.
Money." the driver joked.
"Really?" I was surprised and asked quickly: "What does that person look like?"
Unexpectedly, my excessive reaction immediately aroused the driver's suspicion. He glanced at me in the rearview mirror and said, "Who still remembers this? I have a lot of customers every day..."
The fat man didn't waste any time. He took out a thousand yuan and threw it on the meter: "Master Liu, I think we don't want to play around with you anymore. You answer whatever we ask. The money is all yours."
The driver obviously didn't expect the fat man to be so generous, and his eyes turned red at that time. He nodded repeatedly and said: "Okay, okay, I have long seen that you are all nobles. What do you want to know? I will tell you the truth. Even if I don't know
, I can also get information from other masters. If you want to find the lady, I can take you there."
"Who is looking for a young lady in this shabby county like yours?" The fat man rolled his eyes at the driver and was not in the mood to talk nonsense with him. He asked directly: "Does the customer you invited yesterday only have four fingers on his right hand?"
"Yes! Yes! It's four fingers."
"Aren't you particularly handsome?" the fat man asked again.
"Yes, I have never had such a handsome young man. His skin is white and his appearance is prettier than any woman." The driver replied.
Sure enough, it was the fourth girl, and the fat man and I couldn't help but look at each other!
"Do you remember where he last appeared?" I asked anxiously.
"Wait, let me think."
"Hurry up, you won't get the money if you're late."
Seeing that the fat man was about to take the money back, the driver quickly opened the city map and started thinking hard. After a while, he slapped his head and shouted: "I remembered, I will take you there right now!"
With the power of money, the driver drove the car very fast.
And I sat quietly in the back seat, thinking about what my first words would be when I saw the fourth girl.
If I hadn't discovered the Fourth Girl's secret, I probably wouldn't have talked nonsense with him and just killed him. However, the various clues found in the hut left me wondering what to do.
Vaguely, I felt that everything the four girls did had their own reasons.
If I hadn't seen him kill my grandfather with my own eyes, I might have forgiven him long ago. This contradictory and complicated thought made me struggle all the way. I didn't even find the place when I arrived. Finally, Wang Yuanchao reminded me, and I discovered the rental.
The car stopped.
We followed the driver to a remote small hotel. The driver told us that the fourth girl got off the bus here yesterday and then entered the hotel.
Before leaving, the driver left us a phone number and told us to charter a car with him.
After we memorized the number, we rushed into the hotel and asked the hotel owner for the key to the fourth girl's room.
At first, the boss was quite stubborn and refused to give me life or death.
The fat man didn't show any politeness. He lifted the boss up and slapped him twice, which made stars pop out of the boss's eyes. When the boss saw that the fat man was so unreasonable, Wang Yuanchao also became murderous, and he immediately gave up.
He quickly begged for mercy while taking out the key and leading us to open the door.
When he arrived at the door, Wang Yuanchao coughed, indicating that everyone should be careful!
We have seen what the fourth girl is capable of. Not to mention the three of us, even if hundreds of people surrounded the hotel, they probably wouldn't be able to catch the fourth girl.
So we didn't plan to fight hard, we just wanted to see the fourth girl and ask what was going on.
To our surprise, when the door opened, there was no one in the room.
The hotel owner was so surprised that the keys fell to the ground: "Impossible! This young man has not left the room since he moved in yesterday. During this period, he bought two buckets of instant noodles and a pack of White Rabbit toffee from me. This guy
No matter how you say it, it’s gone…”
I winked at Wang Yuanchao and told him to check when the fourth girl left.
Wang Yuanchao was a veteran who had retired from the reconnaissance company, and he was a good hand at tracking. He went through the trash, toilets, and washing areas. After confirming, he came back and said to me: "Look, he's gone.
Leave when the light comes on."
The hotel owner was dumbfounded when he heard this: "He's gone?"
Wang Yuanchao ignored him and continued: "This is the third floor. The fourth girl should have jumped directly from the window and left. Besides, nothing was left behind."
Just when the three of us felt infinite regret and lamented that we were a step too late, we heard the hotel owner crying and howling: "Dear mother, we are a small business, he... he bought
I haven’t paid for the instant noodles and toffee yet!”
"What's the matter? This store of yours offers post-payment?" The fat man laughed loudly: "You deserve to be unable to make any money."
Seeing that the clues were broken again, I took Fatty and Wang Yuanchao and left the hotel together.
The three of us walked around the hotel several times like headless flies, but unfortunately we found nothing.
Finally, the fat man's stomach growled unsatisfactorily. Seeing that everyone had been busy for so long, I prepared to find a place to have a bite to eat first.
We haven't had a decent meal since we set off, so we decided to have a good meal right now. However, Shangqiu is a very poor place. There are only a few sparse shops within a dozen miles. The rats are coming.
I have to leave with tears in my eyes. Where can I find a five-star hotel?
So I had to go into the only local restaurant, ask for a private room, and prepare to eat some local specialties.
