Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Plan in Front of the Chess and Card Room
However, he didn't wait for a call until the afternoon, not only did the red hair panic, but even Li Tianchou felt that something was wrong. During this period, he called Brother Cheng several times in a row, but no one answered, and the last time he simply turned off the phone.
It seems that the situation is complicated, has Brother Cheng encountered any accidents? Since the other party asks for money and does not contact him, this is the first time he has heard of such a kidnapping, is it a joke?
Can't wait any longer, Li Tianchou walked out of the Internet café without saying a word, casually found a shop, picked up the public phone and dialed out the call from yesterday's red-haired mobile phone, "Hey, who are you looking for?" A rough man's voice on the other side of the microphone.
Li Tianchou was pleasantly surprised, "You called me yesterday to talk about raising money." ”
"What a mess, it's a pay phone. ”
"Hey, hey, hey......" There was a busy tone on the phone, Li Tianchou was not convinced, and dialed aside, "Excuse me, where is your address, I ......"
"Neurotic, warn you, don't fight anymore. When the other party heard this, he hung up the phone again without waiting for Li Tianchou to finish speaking.
Why are you so impatient? Li Tianchou was very unhappy, and suddenly he thought that the red haired fingers might have been dialed countless times, and he was not only dumbfounded. He thought in his heart that since it was a fixed public phone, he should be able to find out the area. "Uncle, please ask, can you find the location of this number?"
"This is the number of the sandbank district, north of us. The shopkeeper looked at it for a long time.
"Can you be more specific?" Li Tianchou realized that the kidnapping did exist, it was not a prank, and the address and location matched the information provided by the master, and Xie Fushun was active in that area.
The shopkeeper said that he didn't know, Li Tianchou was helpless, thanked him and left the shop stupidly, he felt that the problem had become serious, the kidnappers didn't call, something must have happened, so he could only take the initiative.
Back at the Internet café, there was still no news, and the red hair had begun to be restless, pacing back and forth, kicking the chairs on both sides to the ground, and the others did not dare to persuade them.
Li Tianchou was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle, should he tell Xiao Yadong some information he knew, this was tantamount to calling the police, would it greatly increase Wu Tianbao's danger? But if you don't tell it, and you touch it yourself with the news, it is very difficult and risky.
It's really uncertain, but time waits for no one, Li Tianchou no longer thinks about what conspiracy Uncle Geng is playing, he urgently needs help at the moment, so he simply dialed the master's phone, "Brother Hua, the other party hasn't called so far, I don't feel like the situation is good, will there be any changes?"
Peng Weihua uncharacteristically did not ridicule Li Tianchou, "Well, I'm in the eastern suburbs now, and the address of Wenhua Road I told you yesterday." Come over if it's convenient for you. ”
Is the master in the eastern suburbs? Is he going to Xie Fushun? No wonder, it seems that Uncle Geng has been prepared, damn, even if it is a conspiracy, Lao Tzu is going to jump in. Li Tianchou grabbed the red hair that was running around, "Calm down, did the person on the phone yesterday just talk about your brother, didn't you mention your sister-in-law?"
"No, just say my brother. Some time before the accident, my brother secretly sent my sister-in-law away, but ......" Hongmao's face turned pale and he was even more panicked. Why did you neglect your sister-in-law? Thinking back to the past few days, I couldn't get through the phone number of my sister-in-law's hometown, but I said that I had never been home, and in order not to worry about the family, he didn't dare to call again.
"Call again, your brother and your sister-in-law will call. Li Tianchou urged.
The red hair hurriedly dialed it, and it prompted it to shut down. "I actually call them every day, and I can't get through at all. ”
Li Tianchou nodded, maybe my sister-in-law is fine, maybe she is hiding somewhere. Saving one person alone is slightly better. He found a pen and paper and wrote down a list of phone numbers, "I'll go out immediately to find out the situation, if there is no news before 10 o'clock in the evening, you can call this number, he is a police friend of mine...... Just call the police. ”
Li Tianchou's heart is still conflicted, he doesn't trust the police very much, but he definitely trusts Xiao Yadong. If you can't find Wu Tianbao by yourself and the master, you can only rely on Lao Xiao. Write down the number just in case, and also to find a reason to stabilize the red hair, this trip is dangerous, don't take him again.
"I'm going too, I'm going to go crazy if I stay here. The red-haired eyes widened, his expression sad.
"Do you know where to look? I'm also fooling around, don't follow in the fun. We both have our own division of labor, you wait for the call, I'm going to try my luck. At the moment of crisis, Li Tianchou had no time to consider the emotions of the red hair, and after speaking, he flashed out of the door.
Trying to speed up his pace along the way, Li Tianchou was quite satisfied with the recovery of his body, and when he left the urban village, he casually stopped a taxi. Although I don't have a lot of money in my pocket, I can barely take a taxi. It didn't take long for Li Tianchou to come to the vicinity of Wenhua Road, he took out his mobile phone and dialed, "Brother Hua, I'm at the intersection of Wenhua Road." ”
"The entrance has been going forward, about 300 meters, there is a chess and card room, and I am at the door. ”
Li Tianchou took the phone and observed the terrain, this is a secondary road in the eastern suburbs of the city, both sides are not high residential buildings, downstairs are lined up with shops along the street, it is the time to get off work in the afternoon, the flow of people shuttles, very lively, and the popularity is comparable to that of an urban village.
After walking a short distance inside, Li Tianchou saw the signboard of "Kangyi Chess and Card Room", and all kinds of motorcycles were parked at the door. In an inconspicuous corner, squatting a fat man wearing sunglasses was Peng Weihua. He walked slowly, stopped beside his master, looked around, and squatted down.
"Brother Hua, wearing sunglasses is much more chic than before. ”
"Get out of the way, damn it, it's hard to hide this face. Peng Weihua said and handed out a cigarette.
Li Tianchou lit a cigarette, "You and Uncle Geng had a premeditated plan?" Although he no longer cared about any conspiracy, he still couldn't help but stimulate Peng Weihua with words.
"What does it have to do with Uncle Geng? Don't be ignorant of good people's hearts, if it weren't for the fact that you are my apprentice, I wouldn't have bothered to care about you. Are you really so dragging and calling me to slap a fart?" Peng Weihua didn't let in the slightest.
Li Tianchou knew that it was not okay to quarrel, and he couldn't provoke the master too much, so he accepted it when he saw it, "This is Xie Fushun's territory?"
"Speak quietly, one of his underground casinos. Peng Weihua nodded.
"Then how do we get it?" The master is an old Jianghu, so he naturally asks for advice with an open mind.
"Don't worry, let's see. ”
"I'm in a hurry, things must have changed. Seeing that the deadline is over, there is no reason not to contact it. ”
Peng Weihua smoked in a sullen voice, and only looked up after a while before he said, "It's indeed a bit abnormal." However, it's useless to be anxious, let's take a walk around first and wait for dark. After speaking, he didn't wait for Li Tianchou to answer, got up and left.
Li Tianchou had no choice but to follow behind. "Doesn't he have another place to stay? Why don't you go to his house first? ”
Peng Weihua sneered, "I don't know about others, according to Xie Fushun's character, it is impossible to tie up a big living person at home." ”
It sounded very reasonable, Li Tianchou was speechless. The two walked along the street, and the lights were on, and the sky was getting dark. Li Tianchou couldn't help it again, "Then it's useful for us to stare at that chess and card room?"
"I don't know. Peng Weihua's answer made Li Tianchou angry in his heart, and he was about to have a seizure, Peng Weihua suddenly smiled, "I've touched a few points, I don't know why, this old thing seems to have received some rumors and disappeared." Hehe, but people are always insatiable, don't underestimate this chess and card room, the upper, middle and lower three floors, is his main stronghold for lending, and it is not closed today. ”
Li Tianchou understood, according to Peng Weihua's investigation, only this chess and card room can make a fuss.
"You have to be mentally prepared, your friend may have run away, or has already ......" Peng Weihua did not say any further, but Li Tianchou naturally knew what it meant, and he felt extremely uncomfortable, but it was so abnormal, he could only explain it like this.
"But it doesn't make sense, my friend is just in debt, and he doesn't have a deep grudge with the surname Xie, no matter how vicious the other party is, he won't even want money, right?" Li Tianchou felt unreasonable.
"Then who knows, maybe there was an accident. The understatement made Li Tianchou's heart tremble.
"It's almost time, let's go back. Peng Weihua took out his mobile phone as he spoke, "Liangzi, a few of you come over together, Wenhua Road Kangyi chess and card room, right now." ”
Li Tianchou felt that things were far more complicated than he imagined.
When the two returned to the vicinity of the chess and card room, it was already completely dark, and they glanced at the window casually.
"It's dinner time, there's no business up there, wait a minute, my companion. Peng Weihua said, motioning for Li Tianchou to slow down.
Not long after, two motorcycles came from the direction of the intersection, the speed was not fast, and when there was still some distance from the chess and card room, they suddenly turned off on the side of the road and stopped.
"Keep going. Peng Weihua commanded in a low voice, and Li Tianchou understood. The two walked unhurriedly in front of the chess and card room, like shopping, the only nondescript thing was that the master was still wearing sunglasses at night, and it was difficult not to be noticed.
Two motorcycles, four young men, Peng Weihua suddenly stretched out his hand and waved, and greeted him with a smile. "Brother Hua. The four of them spoke in unison.
"Shhhh Peng Weihua stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, "Introduction, this is Liangzi, Broad Bean, Ah Wei, and Zhang Wen." Hehe, my newly accepted apprentice, Xiao Li. As he spoke, he took out a cigarette and distributed it, Li Tianchou knew that it was for others to see.
The four of them have different appearances, Li Tianchou guesses that he is the master's little brother, Liangzi is tall, has a Chinese face, and is very handsome; broad beans are the smallest, but they look the most energetic, their eyes are shining, and they are by no means idle people; Ah Wei and Zhang Wen are very ordinary, smiling and greeting Li Tianchou, and even a little shy.
"No more nonsense. Arrange for Fava Bean and Ah Wei to come back and weld the door to me in a while. The four of us went in, looked at my eyes, and after pulling down the roller shutter, Liangzi and Zhang Wen blocked the door, and insisted on it for ten minutes, and Xiao Li and I went down. When the time was over, the four of you rode away, leaving us alone. Now let's play cards. In the last half of the sentence, Peng Weihua used a normal tone, happily put his arm on Li Tianchou's shoulders and turned to leave.
Broad Bean and Ah Wei returned along the same road on a motorcycle, while Liangzi and Zhang Wen followed closely behind Peng Weihua.
