Chapter 21: Finding Amin
As soon as the holiday came, the clever classmates paid attention to chartered buses and summer jobs, and they got busy one after another. And Liu Hao and others needed to serve the last batch of customers of the "Weekly Gang", so they stayed for a few more days.
"Hey, hello! Are you?"
"Is it Amin's squad leader? I'm Amin's mother" Amin is a table tennis master, who has won the second prize in the city table tennis tournament, and is quiet, introverted, and a sensible little girl on weekdays.
"Hello Auntie, is there anything wrong?"
"Hello squad leader, I called you to ask if you have met my family, or have you contacted her recently?"
"Auntie, I haven't been in touch with Amin recently, what's wrong with Amin?"
"She just came home a few days ago, and she wanted to go to Dongguan to work as a winter vacation to earn some living expenses, but there was no news for several days, and now we are all worried," Amin's mother began to choke up a little when she spoke.
"Auntie, don't worry first, have you called the police here?"
"I called the police, but the police haven't found it yet, so I can only come out and ask on my own first"
"Yes, there's really no way, just go to Dongguan to find it, it's better than sitting"
"It's been days since her boyfriend and there's been no news"
"Auntie, I'll mobilize my classmates here and help find them."
"Thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Liu Hao organized his classmates to try to find them online through the class group.
"Students, has anyone been in contact with Amin recently?"
"Nope"
"No, what's wrong with the squad leader?"
...
The heavy words "Amin may be missing" shocked the whole class.
"I now plan to divide into two teams, and the students who have already returned home will contact the local WeChat public account and media in Dongguan as much as possible, and ask them to help send the missing person notice. If you have time, you will go directly to Dongguan with me to look for Amin. Reply 1 who wants to go with me" There were very few students in the group who replied 1, and the lost Liu Hao walked back to the dormitory.
"I'm going to Dongguan, which of you wants to come with me," Liu Hao asked, standing at the door of 207.
"Ah Hao, it's the New Year, my parents want me to go back" Chen Jie played League of Legends and didn't look back.
"Yes, I also have a lot of backstage things to deal with here, why don't we find them on the Internet?" Chen Zhicong was busy with the takeaway platform, and Liu Hao was not easy to force, so he looked at Yangyang.
"I don't know her full name, so I'm not going, I'm not familiar with it."
"Okay, fat man, what about you?" Liu Hao felt surprised, full of loss, thinking about how this class of people became so cold-blooded at a critical juncture, is this class not as united as I imagined, everything is just an illusion.
"For so many years, I will go wherever you go, do you still need to ask, whatever you want"
"Pack your things and go now"
The two got into a taxi and went straight to the bus station and hurried to the ticket office.
"Hello, two tickets to Dongguan"
"Dongguan's car just left"
"Then the next shift, this is the ID card" Liu Hao handed over the ID card.
"This is the last train today" is nothing more than a worse situation for Liu Hao.
The two of them walked to the gate of the station in disappointment, squatting on the side of the road looking particularly desolate.
"Hey, brother, do you want to take a ride to Dongguan?" Liu Hao raised his head, it was Chen Jie and the others, and the three of them rolled down the window and laughed at us vigorously in the car.
"Bastard, I think you really have no conscience" Liu Hao quickly stood up, and because of the numbness of his feet after squatting for too long, he fell back and staggered up.
"Get in the car quickly, otherwise you won't be able to catch dinner" Orange opened the car door for Liu Hao.
"Let's go!"
Several people began to search for Amin.
The next day, other students rushed to the Dongguan bus station from different places one after another, and almost half of the 2nd class of manpower arrived, and Huang Lexuan was also among them. Liu Hao assigned tasks to everyone and began a carpet search.
A few days passed, and no progress was made. When it was time for dinner, everyone returned to the hotel in despair. The morale is low, and even Liang Chen, the "lunch box killer" who usually eats the fastest, has no appetite.
"Don't be discouraged, we'll find Amin," Liu Hao stood up to try to boost morale.
"Squad leader, we've been looking for it for days, and no one around here has seen Amin at all," said Dafeng dejectedly.
"Yes, squad leader, are we looking in the wrong direction" Ash is the deputy squad leader of the human resources 2 class, and she is a handsome, neutral, and bold girl.
"We don't have any other clues other than here, let's keep going"
"But this is a needle in a haystack, it's impossible to find," McDull and the little fish walked in.
"You remember, we are not here to Dongguan for a vacation! Amin doesn't know if he is dead or alive now, you can go back now, but you can't affect morale," the upright Chen Zhicong spat out.
"Don't worry, Orange, sit down, isn't there another group that hasn't come back. Don't be discouraged, eat quickly, and only after eating will you have the strength to go out to find it" Liu Hao's words eased the atmosphere a little.
At this time, Chen Jie ran in with Zehong.
"We've got a clue! we've got a clue!" the two looked hurried.
"Drink some water first and speak slowly"
"We searched for an afternoon in the industrial area, and when we were about to come back, we saw a store and just wanted to ask by the way, but guess what the boss said?"
"Don't sell it at this time, say it quickly"
"The boss said he had met Amin last week and that Amin had made a phone call from them"
"Did you show him the picture? Are you sure it's Amin?"
"It should be, he said that because Amin has always spoken Mandarin, he is more impressed"
"And then? Is there any other news?"
"Say Amin is with a couple of boys"
"What else?"
"It's gone"
"That's all you asked?" Chen Zhicong looked disgusted.
"It's okay, that's enough, let's go to the store first" Before everyone had time to eat, they put down the chopsticks in their hands and ran to the store in a hurry.
When I first arrived at the store, I was frightened by the large number of people, thinking that I was here to seek revenge. Immediately afterwards, through the monitoring of the store, everyone saw Amin's figure and was overjoyed.
"Boss, do you know these people?"
"I don't know, it seems that I just moved here recently, I haven't seen it before, but I came here two days ago to buy cigarettes, and I bought several cigarettes, all of which are cheap cigarettes, it shouldn't be the workers of the factory here, the workers of this factory generally buy them pack by pack"
"Is it convenient for you to copy some of this video to me?" The boss readily agreed to Liu Hao, and after speaking, he sent the video to the class group.
"Amin doesn't want to go home, so he deliberately doesn't reply to messages."
"Nonsense, your mobile phone is turned off, and you don't care about your family for ten days."
"I guess Amin may have been tricked into a pyramid scheme," Liu Hao guessed.
"Ah Hao, aren't you serious, this is serious" Chen Jie was puzzled.
"I think so too, it should be controlled by someone," Yanyang said.
"Either way, this group is likely to reappear, and we'll be here in batches. Orange and Dajie will take everyone back to pack their luggage first, everyone will move to a hotel near here, Dafeng and Xiaoyu, you go to open a few rooms around here" Everyone immediately left.
Twenty *** guards around the store. In order not to attract the attention of the gangsters, Liu Hao and others pretended to be students and distributed leaflets around.
The next day, not surprisingly, two of the men in the surveillance appeared near the store, and Chen Jie, who was at a loss, hurriedly called Liu Hao, his feet shaking.
"Don't startle us, wait for us to come."
When the crowd arrived, they followed the two of them all the way to their stronghold.
It is a depressed old city, without any popularity, and there are words for demolition everywhere, giving people the feeling that no one has lived here for a long time, Liu Hao wonders what these two people are doing here.
The two walked into a dilapidated building, and Liu Hao, who was not sure, did not dare to call the police rashly.
On the way, I saw the intermediary's phone.
"Dajie, give the agent a call, let's go to the opposite building and see if we can see what they are doing inside"
After a while, a middle-aged greasy man riding an electric car came to the front of everyone with a large set of keys.
As soon as the iron door on the first floor was opened, Chen Jie opened the intermediary, and Liu Hao, Yanyang and others climbed to the third floor.
Through the window, I saw a room on the third floor opposite, which was densely packed with people, more like a math teacher making up lessons for a class of students, but replaced by a class of adults who love to learn.
At this time, although I didn't know if Amin was among them, seeing this scene, Liu Hao still took the risk, trembled his hands, and dialed 110.
Worried that the gangsters would escape, all the students gathered on the first floor and blocked the exit on the first floor in advance.
Half an hour passed, the alarm sounded from far and near, Liu Hao couldn't hold back the joy in his heart, but his feet were still trembling.
People ran down one after another upstairs, and sure enough, it was the alarm that alarmed them.
Liu Hao found Amin in the crowd and stopped him.
At this time, Amin's face was pale and thinner.
Amin was shocked, like a bird in flight. Seeing that the one behind was calling her, she immediately hid behind Liu Hao. It was the ringleader, and the leader saw that Liu Hao was overwhelmed, and the police were coming, so he ran away after taking a look.
At this time, the police had already arrived, chasing down the MLM people who were fleeing in all directions.
Later, I learned that the ringleader was caught by the police, and Amin was fooled in by these people the day after he came here. I went to the store to make a phone call to ask Amin to contact his friend to join their organization, but unfortunately Amin couldn't get through to his friend's phone.
In a blink of an eye, everyone returned to the hotel, and a large round table sat around two tables for Amin to catch the wind.
"I heard that the boss has been caught, this is a new stronghold, in the name of starting a business to make money, here to engage in pyramid schemes"
"Yes, they told me that I was working in a factory, five thousand a month, and I came"
"Then why did you go to the store to make a call?" asked Chen Jie.
"They took my phone away and told me to call my classmates, and then my classmates didn't answer the phone," Amin explained.
"Hahaha, it's okay if it's okay. This group deserves it," Ash said, and everyone was very happy.
"Anyway, how long will this group of people be sentenced?" asked Chen Jie.
"It's going to take ten years and eight years."
"They won't seek revenge on us when they come out."
"Yes, the nest has been copied by us"
"Then we have to ask every household in our neighborhood if they have seen us."
"Then pretend to be a student handing out flyers and distribute flyers at your doorstep," Liu Hao's words immediately caused laughter.
"There is no danger, let's toast Amin first, after this calamity, everything will go smoothly in the future!" everyone raised their glasses and drank them all.
"At the end of the day, we did a great thing with the winter break"
"No, it's two! ha... Come and toast our manpower class 2 with a glass!" everyone raised their glasses again in celebration.
