Chapter 179: Exploring the Farmstead
Early in the morning, the rooster that Aunt Lin threw in the garden kept crowing and echoed loudly.
Lin Xiong woke up from his sleep, he raised his head, lifted the quilt, Jiang Baicheng on the sofa opposite had not slept all night, he had dark circles under his eyes, and handed Lin Xiong the book marked in the surveillance video last night.
"Brother Xiong! This is the route of the truck that I analyzed, and the truck later drove into the national highway, without surveillance, and the truck disappeared with Brother Tai. Jiang Baicheng yawned and handed the notebook to Lin Xiong.
Seeing Jiang Baicheng's tired face, Lin Xiong asked worriedly, "You haven't slept all night?"
"I'm used to it. Jiang Baicheng smiled, and then asked Lin Xiong: "But Brother Xiong, I really can't hold on, please give me a guest room, I'll go to sleep." ”
Lin Xiong hurriedly beckoned his aunt and took Jiang Baicheng to rest.
Jiang Baicheng was not polite, and followed his aunt into the guest room with sleepy eyes.
Lin Xiong took Jiang Baicheng's notebook, which had a detailed timeline and video editing points, Lin Xiong opened Jiang Baicheng's notebook, and looked carefully according to the surveillance video, the surveillance showed that Taige's white sedan tracked the truck out of Longcheng and arrived at the national highway, because there was no monitoring along the way, so both cars lost their targets.
There is also the approximate disappearance point marked by Jiang Baicheng in the notebook.
There was a knock at the door, Lin Xiong got up to open the door, and as soon as the door opened, Li Jian and He Shuai rushed in anxiously.
As soon as Li Jian entered the door, he immediately shouted and asked, "Brother Xiong! What the hell is going on?! Is Brother Tai missing?!"
He Shuai also asked with a concerned face: "Brother Xiong?!What happened to Brother Tai?"
Lin Xiong invited the two to sit down in the room, and he explained to the two: "Yesterday I asked Brother Tai to follow Ding Yu, but there was no news from Brother Tai all night. ”
"Then why are you still stunned, hurry up and call the police!" Li Jian's tone was anxious, and he panicked to go to the police station to call the police.
Lin Xiong grabbed Li Jian: "It's useless to call the police! I asked Jiang Baicheng to find out the route of Brother Tai's disappearance, and the place of disappearance is along the national highway! I will arrange for someone to go to the national highway to find Brother Tai." ”
The anxious Li Jian was comforted by Lin Xiong, and his mood was much calmer.
"Li Jian, you and He Shuai arrange more people to visit near the national highway, and tell me as soon as you have news. Then Lin Xiong looked at the time: "The operator's people made an appointment with me today. ”
He Shuai nodded: "Go quickly, Brother Xiong! Brother Tai's affairs will be handed over to us, don't worry too much." ”
Lin Xiong looked at the time, nodded and said, "Prepare at least a hundred people for me." ”
He Shuai understood the reason why Lin Xiong didn't want to call the police, some things had to be resolved privately, and reporting to the police would get in the way.
"Don't worry, Brother Xiong!We're sure we'll be able to find Brother Tai!" He Shuai assured Lin Xiong.
——
Lin Xiong took Qin Zijun to the company and made an appointment with Mr. Feng in the office of Zhongxing Construction.
Because he didn't sleep well last night, Lin Xiong called a bodyguard to drive and drive himself and Qin Zijun to the company.
On the way, I received a call from Zhang Jing, who asked with concern on the other end of the phone: "Lin Xiong! I heard that Brother Tai went to investigate the pirated disc factory yesterday and lost his news?"
Lin Xiong admitted: "That's right, the address you gave me was used by Ding Yu to confuse outsiders, and I asked Brother Tai to follow Ding Yu, and I lost contact on the way." ”
"Brother Tai will be fine!" Zhang Jing was also a little anxious: "I will immediately arrange some people to assist you in finding Brother Tai!"
Lin Xiong did not refuse: "Let them come to my house first, Li Jian and He Shuai are at home." ”
Zhang Jing said, "If you need anything, contact me in time." ”
Lin Xiong replied: "I know, after all, Brother Tai disappeared for the sake of the stars, if Brother Tai has any mistakes, I will make Ding Yu pay the price." ”
"Don't think about it so much, I heard that you negotiated with the operator today. Zhang Jing admonished.
Lin Xiong didn't say anything more: "Well, I will tell you as soon as I have good news from Brother Tai." ”
Mr. Feng of the operator had been waiting in the office for a long time, waiting for Lin Xiong and Qin Zijun to arrive, and the three of them casually exchanged politeness, Mr. Feng said happily: "Mr. Lin! The operator agrees with your decision, but there are many interests involved in it, and we want to talk to you about the division of revenue." ”
When Lin Xiong heard Mr. Feng say this, he simply pointed to Qin Zijun who came with him: "You can negotiate with her for the specific division of interests, she is my secretary and my plenipotentiary agent." ”
Mr. Feng obviously didn't expect Lin Xiong to be so perfunctory, and actually asked the secretary to negotiate with him, which made Mr. Feng more or less angry, and he said with a little irony in his tone: "Mr. Lin! It's not appropriate! Let the secretary negotiate with me on such an important matter." ”
Lin Xiong knew that Mr. Feng was angry, and he politely explained: "That's Mr. Feng, I have a friend who disappeared last night, I don't know whether he is alive or dead, since the operator has the heart to cooperate with me, there is no need to talk about anything else, save time, I have to rush back to find him immediately." ”
"In that case, let's talk about it when you're free!" Mr. Feng thought that Lin Xiong looked down on him and deliberately neglected him.
Qin Zijun opened his mouth to speak: "Hello Mr. Feng, I used to work for Ms. Kun, the president of Rothschild in Greater China, and I am a graduate student at the University of Finance and Economics, I want to learn from you for the distribution of benefits, and I hope you can give me such an opportunity." ”
Qin Zijun has a very high emotional intelligence, and her words moved Mr. Feng.
Mr. Feng lowered his head and thought for a while, the operator's attitude was actually very clear, he was ready to cooperate with Lin Xiong, no matter what the result would not change, Mr. Feng was just dissatisfied with Lin Xiong's slightly perfunctory attitude, but seeing Lin Xiong's anxious appearance, Mr. Feng guessed that Lin Xiong did not lie to himself, and his friend was really missing.
But Mr. Feng still showed a slightly unhappy expression: "Lin Xiong, when you sign the contract, you won't let the secretary sign it for you, right?"
Lin Xiong smiled: "No, Mr. Feng, I will sign important matters, Qin Zijun knows more about the distribution of benefits than me, you have to be careful, don't fall for her." ”
Mr. Feng smiled contemptuously: "It's just a little girl, I'll try my best to let her." ”
Lin Xiong smiled and gave Qin Zijun a thumbs up, Qin Zijun nodded knowingly, determined to fight for the most distribution for Lin Xiong.
"Then I won't bother you yet!" Lin Xiong resigned dignifiedly, and hurriedly went back to find Brother Tai.
The meeting between Qin Zijun and Mr. Feng officially began, and in less than half an hour, Mr. Feng wanted to retract his previous contempt for Qin Zijun.
Mr. Feng had some regrets to talk about the distribution of benefits, he wiped the sweat on his forehead uneasily, and even begged for mercy and said to Qin Zijun: "Miss Zijun, if you think about it carefully, the three major operators may be dissatisfied with such a result, and it will be difficult for me to go back!"
Qin Zijun seemed to deliberately fight back at Mr. Feng's previous contempt, and refused to give a penny.
——
Leaving Qin Zijun to negotiate with Mr. Feng, Lin Xiong drove back to the villa quickly, Jiang Baicheng slept for more than an hour and got up again, he used last night's records to select about ten locations and handed them to Li Jian and He Shuai.
"This is the place where Brother Tai may be found, and you will search according to this. Jiang Baicheng solemnly instructed the two.
Lin Xiong just entered the door, and when he heard Jiang Baicheng's assignment, he walked up to the three of them: "Let's go!
"Brother Xiong, bring more people!" Because he was afraid that something would happen again, Jiang Baicheng instructed.
Lin Xiong nodded: "Don't worry." Then he patted Li Jian on the shoulder: "We will definitely get Brother Tai back." ”
It just so happened that at this time, the parents who had not returned overnight took Aunt Lin home, and as soon as they arrived at the door, they heard Aunt Lin's exclamation: "Where are you all from!" Aunt Lin saw a lot of people with colorful hair standing at the door, and they gathered outside Lin Xiong's villa to smoke.
The delinquent teenagers heard Aunt Lin's shout and looked at Aunt Lin one after another.
Seeing the unkind eyes, Aunt Lin didn't dare to make a sound, and hurriedly protected the three children and hid in the room.
Father Lin rushed into the room a little angrily, and saw that Lin Xiong was talking to Li Jian, and Father Lin said to Lin Xiong with a stern face: "Come here! I have something to say to you!"
When other people saw Lin's father and Lin's mother, they all called: "Uncle and aunt are good." ”
Father Lin didn't respond, he took Lin Xiong upstairs with a black face, he closed the door and asked Lin Xiong: "What's the matter with those people outside?!"
Lin Xiong was speechless for a while, he pointed downstairs and said, "Those people are here to help me." ”
"Lin Xiong, Lin Xiong! How can you be so confused! Look at the group of boys downstairs! What kind of hair do they paint one by one! They are all gangsters in society! How can you mix with this kind of goods?! They are not good people!" Father Lin asked with hatred of iron and steel.
Lin Xiong explained: "Dad, it's not what you think, I'll ask them to help me find people, they are all Taige's subordinates." ”
"I don't care! From today onwards, you don't have much contact with Brother Tai, I don't know who Brother Tai is? I know all the black things he did before, and he did some illegal and taboo behaviors! You have to put yourself in a correct position, otherwise there will be villains who will hype up this matter!" Father Lin taught.
Lin Xiong didn't have time to talk to his father, so he could only prevaricate his father for the time being: "I know Dad!"
Father Lin knew that Lin Xiong had no intention of repenting, and he took the trouble to say: "Don't forget! Why did you quit the entertainment industry? You originally had a bright future! Do you insist that these people have ruined your future!"
Lin Xiong didn't answer, turned around and left the room, and said to his father by the way: "Dad! I have taken everything you said to heart!"
Father Lin sighed heavily behind Lin Xiong, in his opinion, Lin Xiong was hopelessly rotten.
When I went downstairs, I met Aunt Lin, and after Aunt Lin saw Lin Xiong, she reminded her seriously: "Lin Xiong, how can you mix with those people now?"
Lin Xiong didn't explain, he walked downstairs quickly, and said to Li Jianji: "Let's go! Jiang Baicheng, you can rest for a while." ”
Jiang Baicheng nodded, just leave the matter of finding someone to Lin Xiong.
——
More than 30 vans departed from Dragon City, divided into five batches, and headed for ten locations at the same time.
Li Jian and He Shuai greeted nearly 200 people to participate in the search for Brother Tai.
Lin Xiong took Li Jian and He Shuai, chose two locations, and drove there with twenty people.
Driving on the road, Li Jian, who was sitting in a car, asked curiously: "How does Jiang Baicheng know that Brother Tai will definitely be among these ten locations?"
"The detective's algorithm calculates the possibilities!" He Shuai explained.
"How is it calculated?" asked Li Jian reluctantly.
Lin Xiong explained: "Find out the disappearance point where the surveillance found Taige, select three points, connect them, and take their range. ”
Li Jian suddenly realized: "I hope it will be useful and I can find Brother Tai." ”
Lin Xiong was responsible for finding two locations, a farm and a pig farm, and the farms were close to each other, so he went to the farm first.
The road to the farm was bumpy, and if it was a Lamborghini from Limchon, the low chassis would have never made it up the mountain.
This is a farmhouse, after the arrival of the vehicle led by Lin Xiong, the owner of the farm happily ran out: "Welcome, welcome!
Lin Xiong got out of the car and asked, "Hello boss, may I ask if you have seen a white truck pass by until last night?"
The boss looked suspicious: "There are often tractors passing by here." ”
"Do you have surveillance here? We're looking for someone. He Shuai stood next to Lin Xiong and said politely to the boss.
The owner of the farm didn't look like these people were here to consume, and his tone was indifferent: "I'm sorry, there is no monitoring." ”
Lin Xiong took out a bag of cash from the car and handed it to the boss: "Boss, we just want to ask you a few questions." ”
The owner of the farm saw a stack of red banknotes, not to mention 10,000 yuan, and he nodded busily: "Yes!"
"Haven't you seen a big white truck pass by?"
"It's such a bad road, it's hard for trucks to come up, and tractors are used to go up the mountain. "After receiving so much money, the boss regained his previous enthusiasm.
Lin Xiong glanced at He Shuai and the group of people behind him, and everyone immediately rushed into the farm, wanting to go in and have a look.
In the middle of the farm is a puddle of fish ponds, and after Lin Xiong and his party entered, they looked around carefully to see clues.
Unexpectedly, I met an acquaintance in the farm, the two were fishing in the farm, and saw a group of people rushing in, and the faces of the two people who were fishing changed suddenly, one of them raised his head and shouted to Lin Xiong and his party in dissatisfaction: "You guys be quiet!
Lin Xiong suddenly laughed happily: "Uncle Ji, you are really at ease! I didn't expect to meet you here." ”
Ji Yongfeng didn't expect that the person who came was Lin Xiong, and when he saw Lin Xiong with a large group of people behind him, he mistakenly thought that Lin Xiong was coming by himself, so he immediately asked sternly: "Lin Xiong! What do you mean by this!"
Knowing that Ji Yongfeng had misunderstood, Lin Xiong hurriedly explained: "Uncle Ji, I came to find someone, but I didn't expect to meet you here." ”
Hearing Lin Xiong say this, Ji Yongfeng asked with some curiosity: "Looking for someone, who are you looking for?!"
Lin Xiong didn't answer, but asked Ji Yongfeng rhetorically: "Uncle Ji, when did you arrive at the farm?"
"Last night!" Ji Yongfeng replied impatiently.
Lin Xiong immediately asked, "Uncle Ji, did you see the big truck here last night?!"
Ji Yongfeng thought for a moment and asked Lin Xiong: "Is it necessary for me to tell you?"
Lin Xiong knew that Ji Yongfeng hated himself, and he caused him to lose a lot of shares in the company, and he fell to the point where he is now.
Lin Xiong could only apologize slightly: "Uncle Ji, I apologize for what happened before, it's just that a friend of mine disappeared yesterday, and I'm trying my best to find him." ”
Ji Yongfeng snorted coldly, he picked up the fishing rod again, and made a boo gesture to Lin Xiong: "Shhh ”
Because Li Jian was too anxious, he shouted to Ji Yongfeng in dissatisfaction: "Old man, I want to ask you! Did you see the big truck last night?"
Ji Yongfeng's side got up, he was Ji Yongfeng's personal bodyguard, and walked towards Li Jian, ready to teach Li Jian a lesson.
Ji Yongfeng grabbed the bodyguard: "Chi Fei! Okay! Fishing! Don't be like them, they want to find someone, let them find it themselves, what does it have to do with us!"
Chi Fei sat down beside Ji Yongfeng, and looked around at everyone present with a cold gaze.
When the owner of the farm heard that Lin Xiong was looking for someone, he approached Lin Xiong and said with a smile: "Young man, are you looking for someone?" Why don't you give me some more search fees, you can find the farm!"
Lin Xiong took out another stack of money from his arms and threw it to the boss, and the owner of the farm said happily: "You can find it!"
Immediately, the people rummaged around the farm.
Lin Xiong stood in the middle of the courtyard, and Ji Yongfeng, who was fishing, gloated: "You said a big truck? How can a big truck drive up this broken road? Only a tractor can go up the mountain." ”
When Lin Xiong heard Ji Yongfeng say this, he wanted to ask Ji Yongfeng, but the people who were searching in the farm came back and reported: "Brother Xiong! ”
Ji Yongfeng laughed: "How can this place be Tibetan! This is a leisure resort!"
The boss also echoed Ji Yongfeng with a smile: "This gentleman is right, who will hide in the farm, there are people coming and going here, do you want to stay here for one night?!"
Finding nothing, Lin Xiong shouted to Li Jian and He Shuai: "Let's go!
Walking out of the farmstead, the road outside the farm is imprinted with deep ruts, stretching towards the mountains above the farmstead.
Everyone got into the car, and Li Jian shouted to the driver: "Let's go, go to the farm!" Lin Xiong suddenly realized something, from just now, Lin Xiong vaguely felt that Ji Yongfeng had something to say, and after seeing these rut marks, Lin Xiong suddenly opened up.
"Don't go to the farm!
"Why?" Li Jian and He Shuai glanced at each other, puzzled at the same time.
