Chapter 35: Get on your knees
Chen Le wanted to take the bus, but was vetoed by Xia Jiabing, there were too many people on the bus, and it was easy to get into trouble.
Then the two switched to rental.
Naturally, it was Xia Yubing who paid for it.
The two made their way to the sprawling municipal library.
Under the leadership of Chen Le, he went straight to the newspaper area.
Chen Le pointed to the rows of "Jiangnan Times" here and said, "Let's look for the newspaper records about the fire from 11 to 13 years ago, the Jiangnan Times is the most detailed newspaper in Jiangnan, as long as there is a slightly larger fire, it will inevitably be reported." ”
Xia Yubing nodded thoughtfully and said, "...... It makes sense, I didn't think about it, maybe you really have some brains in your head. ”
"There were!"
Chen Le didn't want to talk to her anymore, this woman would use physical violence against him when she was in a bad mood, and if she was in a good mood, it would be verbal violence.
"Jiangnan Times" is one copy a day, that is to say, the two of them have to check more than 1,000 copies of "Jiangnan Times" in about 3 years to find clues that may be related to Xia Jiabing.
This area is full of old newspapers from the past, so there are not many people coming.
Chen Le took it down from the wall one by one, checking the news about the fire one by one.
"I'll start at the right time, and you start at the reverse time. ”
Xia Jiabing frowned and said, "Why do I want to do such a thing, these newspapers are all dust." ”
Xia Jiaobing is a bit clean and doesn't want to touch dirty things.
"Then you sit on the side. ”
Chen Le didn't care about her, and started flipping through the newspaper on the first day.
Having said that, Xia Jiabing is still very clear that if two people do it, the time can be halved, and then think about it for herself, she still got up and went to find the newspaper.
Because the control in Jiangnan is very strict, the requirements for fire-fighting equipment, corridor fire prevention, etc. are extremely high, so the number of fires is actually not much, and they are generally extinguished immediately when they are still in flames or small fires.
There are only 2 or 3 fires that die in a month, which is a lot.
Then, from time to time, Xia Jiabing could be heard calling on the other side, "Come here, this fire ......"
Chen Le would go over and take a look, and carefully read the information about the fire, "It's not this, this is a slum, your family should be very rich, how can you live here." ”
"It's ...... too," Xia Yubing nodded.
Then Chen Le walked to the other side and continued to study the newspaper, and after a while, he heard Xia Jiabing shouting, "Come here, what about this." ”
Chen Le had to walk back and help her study, "It's not this, this is in the community, have you ever lived in the community?" ”
"I don't think so. ”
“...... Chen Le, come here. ”
“...... This is not right, in such a remote place, people will easily run out, and no one will be trapped. ”
“...... This way. ”
“...... It's also unlikely, isn't there a photo here, there is just a little boy at the scene, everyone else is an adult, and there is no you at all. ”
“...... Chen Le. ”
“......”
Basically, Chen Le not only had to find the basis by himself, but also had to help Xia Jiabing check the authenticity.
The two of them studied from more than 7 o'clock to more than 10 o'clock, Chen Le started to look for it from the left, Xia Jiabing started to look for it from the right, and finally finished reading all the newspapers in the middle of the place.
But nothing came of it.
Xia Jiabing looked at Chen Le with an angry expression, "Not at all, all of them have been ruled out by you." ”
"yes, that's weird. ”
Chen Le also nodded thoughtfully, "How can there be no one who meets?"
Xia Jiabing lifted her cap, stretched out her slender white jade-like index finger, pointed to her eyes and said, "Do you see the contempt in my eyes?"
Chen Le replied expressionlessly, "No, I only saw eye droppings." ”
Xia Jiabing suddenly said angrily, "I killed you believe it or not, what stupid things are you saying to idols, I mean, you must have made a mistake halfway through, and directly ruled it out, and now we have to find it again." ”
Chen Le stared at Xia Qiao Bingdao with a confident expression, "...... No, unless the information you provided is incorrect, there is not a single situation that matches, fires, fires, there are a lot of people around, some people are crying, some people are yelling, 11 to 13 years ago, this information is correct. ”
“...... I guess that's right, I still dream about it a lot. ”
Having said that, Xia Jiaobing herself was a little unsure.
If that's right, then why don't all the fires in the newspapers do.
"I don't care, I've already handed over the matter to you anyway, and it's your fault that you didn't find it. ”
Xia Xiaobing glared at Chen Le with a bit of willfulness.
"You ......"
She actually wanted to say, you piece of waste, it's useless at all.
He paused again in the middle of speaking, because Chen Le was not listening to her at all.
Chen Le was very serious, holding his chin in one hand, leaning against the wall, bowing his head and contemplating.
There was a sparkle of thought and seriousness in his eyes.
Xia Jiabing inexplicably felt that he shouldn't be disturbed at this time, although he was a waste like a cockroach, but when he was serious, he always felt that he was ,...... Give people a sense of trust.
It's a waste of wood!
Xia Jiabing felt that she must be dazzled.
The two of them sat and waited in a chair next to them, and the other meditated against the wall.
It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that Xia Jiabing finally couldn't help it.
frowned and said, "Forget it, I'll go back today, the library will close at half past ten." ”
Chen Le also nodded a little resignedly, "Well, I always feel that something is missing, do you have something you haven't said?"
Xia Jiabing replied with a somewhat disdainful tone, "What is missing is your brain, I have said everything that should be said, I only know so much, you are stupid." ”
This man really doesn't forget to hit me all the time.
"It's impossible, we've ruled out all the fires, and any fire, the Jiangnan Times should report it. ”
"Don't ask me, I'm tired and now I just want to go home and take a shower and sleep. ”
Xia Jiabing lightly hammered her knees with a bit of girlish hypocrisy and complaints, and whispered, "These pants are too tight, and I feel uncomfortable when they collapse." ”
As he spoke, the library staff also came over and motioned to the two of them, "The library is closed, please come back tomorrow." ”
Xia Jiabing changed her tone at that time, and the eyes that were originally complaining and disdainful to Chen Le turned into a gentle, indifferent smile when she raised her head, nodded and smiled, "Okay, we'll leave immediately, I'll trouble you." ”
Chen Le scolded directly, "You have a dual personality." ”
Why are you so fierce to yourself, you will always be kind and friendly to others.
After speaking, he was immediately glared at by Xia Jiaobing.
Xia Jiabing rewarded him with a roll of the eye, but because there were outsiders and took care of his image (although he still wore a mouth), he did not use verbal violence against Chen Le again.
Just said as he walked, and replied softly, "I think it must be that you accidentally eliminated a fire halfway." ”
Chen Le also replied in the affirmative, "Impossible, I have thought about it carefully." “
"You just have a hard mouth, you don't change your mistakes, you don't admit it, you're not wrong, I'm not wrong? Is it that the fire is wrong, and the fire I experienced is fake?"
“......”
Xia Jiabing took a few steps and found that Chen Le hadn't followed, so she looked at him a little strangely, "What are you doing?"
"I see. ”
Chen Le's eyes widened in surprise, and he replied affirmatively, "I know why, the fire you experienced is indeed fake." ”
"Huh, are you questioning me?"
"No, it's not a fire, it's a ......"
Chen Le said, running back quickly.
The staff member directly grabbed him and didn't let him in, "Eh, sir, we're closing the door soon, please come back tomorrow." ”
"Excuse me, give me two more minutes, two minutes will be fine. ”
"Not really, sir, we ......"
"Just two minutes. ”
"It's really not good, please don't be embarrassed......"
While talking, I heard Xia Jibing's exclamation from behind, "Oh, what kind of book are yours, it's going to fall, it's going to fall......"
When the staff looked at it, they saw that on the bookshelf, a row of books was about to fall, and they were supported by Xia Jiabing with her small hands.
This startled him, and he hurriedly said, "Please wait, I'll come over at once, miss, that must not fall." ”
He obviously didn't notice that it wasn't the bookshelf that was going to fall, it was Xia Jiabing who was pulling the bookshelf and pouring it out.
The staff rushed over.
At the same time, Xia Jiabing also made eye contact with Chen Le, and the two reached a tacit understanding without superfluous words or even communication.
Xia Jiabing dragged the staff here, while Chen Le quickly ran back, came to the row of newspapers stacked on the wall, just paused, and immediately thought of the location from his mind, and picked out the one he wanted from the thousands of newspapers.
One look at it, and I found ......
"And so it was!"
Chen Le took a quick look.
Keep all the information in your head.
Then he put the newspaper back in place and walked out quickly.
Xia Jiabing also looked nonchalant, and politely said to the staff, "Thank you so much." ”
"It's okay, it's what I'm supposed to do. ”
When the staff got closer, they found that the girl wearing a cap and a mask had a pair of extremely beautiful eyes, as well as a moving figure and temperament, and the staff looked a little fluttery.
Until Xia Jiabing walked out of the library, she was reluctantly staring at Xia Jiabing's moving back.
He obviously didn't know that the conversation between Xia Jiabing and Chen Le was like this at that time......
"Did you find it?"
"Yes, but I have to make a request first, I ask that you treat me like someone else in the future, and pretend to be amiable, lively and kind in front of me, even if it is fake. ”
As soon as Chen Le's voice fell, he received Xia Jiabing's gaze full of strong contempt and disdain, "Ha, what are you talking about in your dreams like a cockroach, I didn't trample you under my feet, let you walk side by side with me, you should thank me for my magnanimity, I haven't even asked you to kneel down and thank you, what stupid request are you still making." ”
Chen Le replied angrily, "...... It's a little hard to kneel down and give thanks, kneel down and go to your grave, I'm happy to do it at any time. ”
As soon as the words fell, Xia Jiaobing stepped on his instep fiercely.
Xia Jiabing put her little face in front of Chen Le's face, and raised her peaked cap, with a bright smile and a threat, "You just said what to do for me when you kneel, you say it again, I'll listen." ”
That expression looked like he was smiling, but there was no smile in his eyes, and the murderous spirit had a tendency to dismember Chen Le's body on the spot.
Chen Le suddenly felt a chill rush from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, and replied without hesitation, "...... Get down on your knees and propose to you!"
“......”
