Chapter 1827: Looking for a needle in a haystack
So, you came to me in the middle of the night and told me this. Ye Shikai shook his eyes, "This kind of thing, you just give me a call, run over in the middle of the night, what if you are misunderstood by others." β
"What is there to misunderstand. Zhang Ting threw the document to Ye Shikai, and specially advised, "You hurry up and rest, you must gather at the police station on time tomorrow." β
"If you hadn't come to the door in the middle of the night, I would have slept a long time ago......"
"No nonsense, I'll go first, don't forget tomorrow morning." β
"Okay, you can go back quickly. β
Zhang Ting left the room, Ye Shikai also sent him to the door, the wind chimes were still standing there waiting, like a wooden man, didn't the hotel security think she was suspicious.
"She's gone, shouldn't you go back to your room? Ye Shikai said lightly, "Don't worry, I won't leave." β
"Since my uncle said so, then I will go back, right at your opposite door, and call me at any time if there is something. Feng Chime nodded slightly, although she entered the room, if Ye Shikai guessed correctly, she must be lying on the cat's eye staring at his door, if Ye Shikai leaves, she must follow.
Ye Shikai looked at his phone, it was already one o'clock in the morning, if he delayed any longer, he wouldn't have to get up tomorrow morning......
Following.
Zhongyuan City Police Station.
"Xiao Zhang, you two are newcomers and don't know much about the Southern District Market, otherwise I'll send someone to follow you as a guide. Huang Hai reminded.
"No need, Director Huang, we can handle it. Zhang Ting said while urging Ye Shikai to get in the car.
"Xiaoye, you should be careful. β
"Thank you Director Huang for your concern. β
Zhang Ting drove the car, the wind chimes were still driving behind, and Ye Shikai closed his eyes to recuperate, and was "made" by Zhang Ting to lack sleep last night.
"I found that Director Huang is quite concerned about you. Zhang Ting glanced at it and said lightly.
"Yes. β
"Of course, and he was still concerned about whether you were used to living in China yesterday, it stands to reason that you don't know him, and he asked what he was doing. Zhang Ting seemed to be a shark at the bottom of the sea, and suddenly smelled blood, and her sensitivity was abnormal.
"I should have thought that my director and your father are old acquaintances, maybe Director Huang also knows you. β
"Don't think about it so much, well, I'm not someone who knows me. Ye Shikai waved his hand, "I really didn't know Huang Hai before. β
Ye Shikai believes that the reason why Huang Hai "cares" about him so much is probably because of the cultivators, on the surface, he is "concerned", but in fact, he is knocking on the side to find out about his situation.
Huang Hai was wary of Ye Shikai, I was afraid that he would still send someone to keep an eye on him, Ye Shikai was also very curious, what was the origin of Huang Hai, he was also a cultivator.
"Here we are. Zhang Ting parked the car on the side of the road, and the two got out of the car and entered the South District Market.
"I'll go, that's too much. β
The South District Market is the largest grocery market in the Central Plains City, where everything is sold, hardware, vegetable market, and seafood market are simply a "hodgepodge", and there are too many large and small vendors to count.
"There are so many people, where are we looking? Zhang Ting didn't expect this place to be so big, the bigger the place, the more mixed it is, there are hundreds of people, all kinds of people, Ye Shikai looked at the surrounding environment, there are indeed all kinds of people here, if someone is hiding here, it is really not easy to find.
"It's going to make you anxious, what's the use of coming out now. Ye Shikai teased.
"Hmph, let's look for it from house to house, according to the information, the missing people often come here, I don't believe that no one knows them. Zhang Ting handed him a photo of the missing person.
"Let's go, let's look for it from house to house. β
"Have you ever seen these people? β
"Not very impressive. β
"I don't remember. β
"I haven't seen it. β
"Looking at their appearance, they should be collecting scrap, where do I remember, this market has thousands of people all day long. β
Two hours later.
"Let's have some cold drinks. Ye Shikai bought a bottle of drink and handed it to Zhang Ting, her eyes seemed to eat people, and there was no clue after looking for a long time, of course she was unwilling, but there was no way, walking in the huge market for two hours, looking for clues from a few beggars and scavengers, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack, there are all kinds of people here every day, even if those traders remember people, they also remember the faces of a few regular customers, how can they leave an impression on beggars and waste collectors, take 10,000 steps back and say, even if they recognize them, how can these traders know where these missing people live, how old they are, and whether they have relatives aroundβ¦β¦
"I'm sure I'll find it, let's go, let's keep looking. Zhang Ting refused to admit defeat, she must find clues today.
"Wait, if you look for it like this, you're looking for a needle in a haystack, and you can't find it even if you run a broken leg. Ye Shikai hurriedly pulled her back.
"Then what do you want to do, just sit here, it's hard to see if the clue will fall from the sky. β
"Of course not, but we should have a more efficient approach. Ye Shikai pointed to the distance, "I just inquired, there is a shanty town near the market, since your information says that these missing people often come to this market, where do you think they will live." β
"I see, they must have lived in that shantytown. Zhang Ting shouted excitedly, "Let's go, let's hurry up." β
The place they were going to was a kilometer from the market, there was no need to drive at all, it didn't take long to get there.
"It's really shabby in this place. β
"Of course, the shantytowns themselves are like that, a mixed bag. Ye Shikai muttered.
"Sounds like you know a lot. Zhang Ting asked rhetorically: "Could it be that you used to live in a shantytown." β
"Not really, but you're half right, I grew up in a shanty town when I was a kid. Ye Shikai smiled faintly, when he was a child, the conditions in his family were very bad, although he did not live in a shantytown, he made a lot of friends in it.
"Let's go in and have a look. β
"Good. β
"This big brother, do you know this person? Ye Shikai asked a yellow-haired man next to him, and handed him a cigarette.
"This man, I look at it, and I seem to have the impression that he often collects waste around here, but I don't seem to have seen him lately. The so-called "short hands and soft mouths", smoking the cigarette handed by Ye Shikai, the yellow-haired man also answered his question.
"Do you know where he lives? Ye Shikai asked.
"Like...... It's in the depths of the alley, you keep going inside, and then turn left, and you're probably around there. β
