    Chapter 160 Edmund Dantes (thirty-one)

    "Why is it so blocked?"

    "Master, let me ask, have you been in line for an hour?"

    "An hour? Almost half a lifetime! I heard that the security check is ahead."

    "Security inspections when entering the city, and security inspections when leaving the city. Is the government sick? Can the parking lot be charged more if the parking lot is blocked at high speed!"

    The drivers who were blocked at the toll gate of the expressway got off the bus one after another and watched, complaining.

    "The ID card and driver's license are being checked ahead." The woman in the co-pilot said in a low voice.

    Su Cheng gave a deep "um", and slid his hands on the steering wheel gently, wiping the sweat off his palms. He wore a wig and hat, glued the corners of his eyes, and made a fake beard. He looked like a slob. A sloppy and wretched old man, he is confident that this outfit has nothing to do with the usual "President Su" who is quite particular about it, and it is not so easy to be recognized by others.

    It's a pity that the time was short, and the ID card didn't have time to fake it, but it hit the muzzle of the gun.

    Most of the people in Yancheng have been leaving in these few days. The city has become an empty ghost town, and the highway out of the city has become a pot of porridge. At first, Su Cheng thought it was just the congestion caused by the crowd. During the security check, it was impossible to turn around and escape. The cars on the front, back, left, and right were almost shoulder-to-shoulder, and the drivers were all staring at the other team. Unless they abandoned the car, it would be hard to fly.

    But Su Cheng has always been pampered. He usually takes a few more steps and is worried that the soles of his feet will be worn out. Seeing surveillance cameras and police all around him, he looked down at his decorative legs, and really didn't have the courage to open the car door.

    "It's okay," Su Cheng smiled at his little friend and said comfortingly, "This kind of security check usually only checks trucks and large passengers, and private cars will pass by soon, don't worry."

    The woman squinted at him, and the old man described it as wretched. He was already disgusting. If he added stupidity, it would be so disgusting that people would want to destroy him humanely on the spot. Security inspections generally only checked into the city, and the exit was so strict. unusual.

    The woman grabbed Su Cheng's arm: "go, let's get off."

    "Get off, get off?" Su Cheng looked left and right. At this time, the car in front walked a few meters forward like a snail. He hesitated for a while, but didn't follow immediately. Seeing that the car next to him wanted to join the team, the horn behind him continued to whistle. When it became a piece, Su Cheng was like a douchebag who couldn't support the wall. He looked ahead for a moment, then slowly stepped on the accelerator and followed.

    "No way," he said with self-righteous reason. "That's too obvious. What if someone stops you? Besides, if we leave the car here, how can we go?"

    The woman rolled her eyes under the sunglasses. Then, she took off the sunglasses and stuffed them into her bag. She took out a makeup remover wipe, quickly removed the lipstick and eye makeup from her face, and tucked her long hair into two nets. Leaning over, he grabbed a pillow from the back seat, wrapped it in a scarf, and stuffed it into his clothes. Under Su Cheng's stunned gaze, he changed from a bright and beautiful beauty to a gray-faced "pregnant woman" in the blink of an eye.

    "The security check may be just to block you," the woman bit her tongue, swallowing the word "idiot" and dragged Su Cheng, "Follow me!"

    Su Cheng had no idea and had to be her follower in a daze.

    Everyone lined up and rubbed forward together, rubbing well, suddenly someone abandoned the car and left in the middle, the bào temper of the driver behind him jumped three feet high, he couldn't bear to honk the horn and prepared to scold, who knows that before he can speak, he will see clearly One of the two people in the car was a pregnant woman. The "pregnant woman" had a pale face and smiled apologetically at him. The driver had to swallow the swear words that came to his mouth and slammed the horn angrily.

    Su Cheng's back was soaked in cold sweat, and his sweaty hand grabbed the woman's wrist, making her a little sick.

    Maybe the old man was not virtuous, and his luck was really bad. He just got off the car, but the road in front was inexplicably smooth. The car in front, which was paralyzed on the ground, drove more than ten meters away, and the vehicles in the next lane immediately did not hesitate. Gase, the car owners who were lined up behind Su Cheng wished they could directly knock this obstructive thing out of the atmosphere, and the sound of the horns rang through the sky one after another.

    Finally caught the attention of the security inspector.

    Su Cheng was too hesitant to make up his mind like he was procrastinating. When he was dragged out of the car by the woman, he was very close to the toll station. A security inspector who had just been replaced by a colleague on a rest was heard by one after another of car noises. Alarmed by the sound of the flute, he looked up and saw an "old man" pulling a "pregnant woman" and stumbled through the traffic.

    The slow-moving traffic is also a traffic flow, and it also has potential safety hazards. The security inspector immediately chased after him and asked, "Why did you get off the bus suddenly, do you need any help?"

    Su Cheng was terrified by the security inspector who suddenly blocked the road, the pores in his body opened instantly, and the three souls and seven souls almost evaporated, and the spine froze into a stone, but the woman suddenly held her stomach in a hurry and paused, with a face on her face. It can be faked and real pain, she doesn't speak, just hums sadly.

    Only then did Su Cheng slowly come back to his senses: "I'm sorry, comrade police, my wife suddenly complained of stomach pain in the car just now. We didn't expect to be blocked for such a long time... There's nothing I can do, can I trouble you..."

    The security inspector was startled: "Then don't let her squat on the road, pick her up quickly, and I'll call an ambulance for you."

    After he finished speaking, he ran away. The woman who was squatting on the ground grabbed Su Cheng and dragged him to run. At this stage of the field, Su Cheng didn't care about being "beautiful and expensive". They took big strides like an enclave, followed the woman to the side of the road in one breath, and the two jumped over the railing and got off the high speed, plunged into the woods in the green belt.

    The security inspector who hurriedly called a colleague to help carry the person quickly returned to the original place, and unexpectedly found that the person was gone. He even drove out a bunch of official cars and searched all directions in a carpet-like manner.

    The voices of people, the sound of cars, and even the barking of the police dogs that were searching and tracing kept approaching, and they were embarrassed on all sides. Su Cheng couldn't run anymore, staggered and let go of the woman's hand, and said short and anxiously, "I Just say you shouldn't run! You don't necessarily get a spot check when you drive past, what's going on now, we're bào exposed, we don't even have a means of transportation, do you want to exhaust me?"

    The woman had no time to pay attention to him.

    Su Cheng grabbed her shoulder: "What do I do now, ah? You tell me how..."

    At this moment, someone suddenly said behind him, "Is that Mr. Su?"

    Su Cheng shivered and turned around in surprise. A man in a toll booth uniform stood behind him and looked at him with a smile: "Our boss knows you're in trouble, he didn't mean to not answer your call. , I'm just worried that you have been monitored by the police, just to be cautious, this is the only way, he asked me to help you, be sure to ensure your safety, please come with me."

    Su Cheng was stunned, then with a happy expression on his face, the woman behind him took his hand, and stepped forward as if seeing his relatives: "Yes, I've made a lot of calls, but I can't get through, how did you find me? Listen to me, I was found by the police, and now..."

    The man looked at him with a gentle smile, and a pair of gloved hands stretched out from the cuffs of his overalls and put them on Su Cheng's shoulders.

    The woman's pupils shrank, and she quietly whispered, "President Su!"

    Su Cheng said impatiently, "What?"

    At this moment, he saw a flash of cold light from the corner of his eye, and the man wearing gloves raised a switch knife at some point in his hand, and when Su Cheng was unsuspecting, he stabbed it straight into his chest!

    City H, a small city in T province——

    It was a five-hour drive from Yancheng, which wasn’t too far away, but because of the traffic jam out of the city, Luo Wenzhou and the others walked for a full day.

    This place is close to the sea and the mountains, warm in winter and cool in summer, and there are abundant hot spring resources on the mountain, especially in winter. In recent years, due to the development of tourism, it has been transformed from a little-known place, full of modern atmosphere.

    The hotel was unreserved, so was really nervous. Fortunately, had Zhou Huaijin with me—although the Zhou family was considered to be in the middle of the pack, after all, it was a thin camel that was bigger than a horse. Together with Jia, they stayed in a so-called six-star hot spring villa, and booked a single-family villa to temporarily settle down.

    "Yang Bo's family used to be a village, called 'Yang Zhuangzi'. At the foot of the mountain, it was said to be quite closed. Later, the hot springs on the mountain were developed, and it became a resort area. The villagers were also demolished and moved away." Xiao Haiyang, who went out to contact the local police, came back with a bunch of copies of old documents, and took half a bun in one bite, "But firstly, there were not many villagers in Yangzhuangzi, and secondly, most people in Qian, only a small part of the villagers accepted the resettlement and moved to the west area of ​​the city, and I have the address and contact information here."

    Luo Wenzhou: "Let's go."

    The group has not been idle since the early morning. Basically, they take turns driving and taking turns to rest. When they arrive at City T, three or two have a light meal and set off non-stop, but the results are not satisfactory.

    More than ten years have passed, and things have changed. Among the several addresses that Xiao Haiyang found, either the person had moved away, or the old man had passed away. The young man did not know anything about it, and even the memory of living in the village as a child was blurred.

    After a round of visits, they found nothing. Zhou Huaijin felt that the dinner he had eaten in a hurry was stuck in his stomach, and he couldn’t take it down. 'Don't move', why are you running errands without results?"

    "Who says we're all running errands? We have to hold endless meetings and write reports." In the cold wind, Luo Wenzhou twisted the cigarette butt into the trash can. Take out the cigarette case.

    "Hey," Lu Jia couldn't help but stop him, "Brother Luo, it's almost there, the displacement of your 'smoke from seven orifices' is about to catch up with a jet plane."

    Luo Wenzhou smiled lazily, didn't answer, picked up another one, and thought, "What's your business?"

    Lu Jia: "President Fei is the most annoying when someone in the office smokes endlessly. You always smoke like this. What did he not say?"

    Luo Wenzhou paused, stuffed the cigarette back without expression, and waved his hand: "Let's go, the last one."

    The last family who moved from Yang Zhuangzi's house was a young man in his twenties who answered the door. Xiao Haiyang checked the address information: "Excuse me, does Yang Yaozong's house live here?"

    "Yes, that's my dad." The man looked at him suspiciously, "May I ask who you are..."

    "Police," Xiao Haiyang spent a whole night in vain, and finally saw some hope, his eyes lit up, and he quickly showed his ID, "We are investigating a case, one of the parties lived in Yangzhuangzi, and I want to find someone to inquire about it, may I ask you Father……"

    "That can be choking, my father has been sick for the past two years, this-" The man pointed to his sun, "a little dementia."

    When I went in and took a look, a few people knew that the old man was not "a little demented".

    The skinny old man was sitting on the sofa, grabbing oranges from a one or two-year-old child. The child couldn't speak clearly, and the old man couldn't speak clearly. After a while, the child didn't grab it. Hearing the sound, he refused to admit defeat, and he grinned and followed the lesson with real feeling. One old and one small each took up a corner of the sofa, screaming in mourning. Raise a small bench for guests.

    A few people only felt that a basin of cold water was pouring over them.

    Luo Wenzhou turned his head and asked the old man's son, "Excuse me, do you remember that there was someone like 'Zhuo Ying chūn' who lived in Yang Zhuangzi at that time?"

    The man thought for a while, then shook his head helplessly: "I don't seem to have heard of it much."

    According to his age, it was normal not to remember what happened more than ten years ago. Luo Wenzhou was not surprised, but very disappointed. One day after leaving Yancheng, there may not be another change, and one day closer to New Year's Eve, he is still at a loss and has no clues.

    Xiao Haiyang: "Team Luo?"

    "Let's go," Luo Wenzhou shook his head, "Let's look for others..."

    At this moment, the silly old man who had been howling with the child suddenly said, "Little flower jacket!"

    "Dad, what did you say?"

    The silly old man's snot and tears did not stop, and he opened his mouth with missing teeth and short teeth. He seemed to be unable to stop, and he was amused.

    The son was taken aback: "The person they said is a little flower jacket!"

    Luo Wenzhou's footsteps stopped short.

    "So you asked about 'Little Flower Jacket'," said the son rather surprised. "I'm sorry, I don't know what her name is - there is a son who is about my age, isn't he?"

    "Yes," Xiao Haiyang said, "Yang Bo!"

    "I don't know what his real name is," the man said, "we didn't call him a big name when we were young—'Xiao Hua Ao' would be quite famous, out-of-towners, we were underdeveloped in our early years, and there were people who bought and sold people, she was I bought it and started to be a widow for a lame man. Just a few days after I got married, the lame man died and became a widow. Their family felt that the money could not be spent in vain. Brother. I remember that the person she married later was the first group to drive goods. He didn't like to talk, but he knew that he was busy earning money, and his family was quite well-off. She was gossiping and gave her such a nickname-later, her second man died, and the demolition was a big deal. At that time, everyone said she was a coward. Later, she didn't know where to move with her son. went."

    Xiao Haiyang hurriedly asked, "Do you know where she was kidnapped?"

    "It's not kidnapped," the man said, "I just bought it. When I was a child, I heard from an old man that it was an orphan who was found by traffickers in the city. People are looking for it, but people must be clean... but this is a bad habit from decades ago, and it must be gone now, don't get me wrong."

    "Do you know where the orphan came from?"

    "Then how do I know?" The man laughed, "I've heard it all, but I remember that 'Xiao Hua Ao' spoke Mandarin very well back then, which was different from the locals. There are rumors that she grew up in Yancheng. of."

    An orphan, a human trader, a girl who was trafficked abroad, Su Hui... Also, why was Yang Bo's mother, Zhuo Yingchūn, an ordinary woman?

    In an instant, a thread seemed to be connected!
