Chapter 106: Investigation
"Then you know what he looks like. Gao Zhao couldn't ask anything, so he had to think about finding it himself, but at least he wanted to know what he looked like.
"I know, I know, but I don't have any pictures, I have long hair and a long beard, just like an artist," the manager struggled to describe.
But Gao Zhao was dizzy when he heard it, saying that he probably wouldn't find that person for the rest of his life.
"Can you draw it for me, maybe draw it. "It would be nice to have a picture. Gao Zhao thought so.
"Okay, I'll try. So the manager took out his pen and drew on a blank piece of paper.
But Gao Zhao felt that this manager was really a soul painter, and after he really drew what he said, the characteristics of long hair and long beard, he didn't see anything special at all.
But this person, he has too much beard, and he covers half of his face, so he doesn't know what he looks like.
"After the painting, I didn't think I still had a bit of a talent for drawing, very similar to real people. The manager was very satisfied and handed the painting to Gao Zhao.
"You, are you sure that person looks like this?" Gao Zhao asked with a smile as he looked at the painting.
"yes, that's what he looks like, just like a real person," the manager said with great confidence.
"Okay, thank you, I still have to go beforehand. "This person can come here every day to work, and this one island can at least prove that this person lives on this island or near here.
A person with obvious characteristics, ask the place where you rent a house in this neighborhood, and you may find something.
Gao Zhao immediately called Xia Yongfeng after going out.
"Hey, I'm not going back yet, there's something going on here. Gao Zhao said to him directly.
"Ah, didn't you say that you would come back tomorrow, I'm still going to pick you up" Xia Yongfeng was so anxious when he heard that he hadn't come back.
"There's something going on here, it may take a few days, I'll go back as soon as possible. Gao Zhao explained.
"What's the matter, it's not Uncle Fu, they have something" His mother can be very concerned about Uncle Fu, if there is something, his mother will be very sad.
"No, it's my own private matter, that's it, I'll talk about it when I go back" He hung up Xia Yongfeng's phone as he spoke.
Gao Zhao took that person's painting, thinking that he was not familiar with the life here, and he didn't know where to start, so he wanted to go back and ask Fu Qingfeng to help him see which places were more rented, and let him take them, otherwise he would really be looking for a needle in a haystack by himself.
Gao Zhao didn't know why he had to find this person, and he didn't have to go back to paint, but there was a voice in his heart telling him that he had to find this person.
"Xiaozhao, why did you go for so long, did you buy the vegetables?" Lin Lin saw him coming back, thinking that he was surrounded by that group of aunts in the market again, so he came back so late.
"Ah, I didn't buy it, I just had something to do. Gao Zhao came back to his senses when he heard Lin Lin's words, looked at his empty hands, and said embarrassedly.
"I didn't buy it, it's okay, then I'll go to the refrigerator to see what else I have, cook some and eat it, and let's get something else to eat in the afternoon." Lin Lin comforted Gao Zhao and said.
"Why don't you cook it first, let's go out to eat, I haven't treated you to dinner for so long. Gao Zhao said apologetically.
"What a stupid thing to say, it's a waste of money to go out to eat, the family is still out to eat here, just cook some casually. Lin Lin didn't want Gao Zhao to break the bank.
"No, let's go out to eat, call Dad, let's go, we won't cook today." Gao Zhao said and went into the house and asked Fu Qingfeng to go out to eat.
When Gao Zhao just came out to shop, he saw that this hotel was not bad, and he thought that he would take Fu Qingfeng Lin Lin out here for a good meal on the last day, so he brought them over today.
"Xiaozhao, we come here to eat, it's so expensive, like these hotels are scamming tourists out of money, we locals never go in. Fu Qingfeng pulled Gao Zhao and didn't let him in.
"It's okay, I came to eat last time, this one is not bad, it's not a lie, I have an invitation today, my parents have a good meal." Gao Zhao smiled and walked the two of them into the circle.
Gao Zhao ordered a large table of dishes, looked at Fu Qingfeng Lin Lin was dumbfounded, and said repeatedly: "Enough is enough, there are three of us, don't waste it too much." ”
"It's okay, it's just that the plate is big, the portion is not much, and we can finish it. Gao Zhao said with a smile.
He wouldn't want to ask him to invite others to eat such expensive things, but they are his parents, and they don't seem to be enough to make them enjoy more.
The three of them ate very well, and sure enough, they still didn't finish eating, and when they were resting, Gao Zhao asked Fu Qingfeng Lin Lin: "Parents, do we know where there are more rental houses here?"
"What's the matter, are you going out to rent a house to live, don't be stupid, live well at home. Lin Lin asked.
"Yes, Xiaozhao, are you uncomfortable living at home, you can tell us, let's find a way to improve it. Fu Qingfeng also thought that Gao Zhao didn't want to live at home.
"No, no, I'm looking for a friend," he said, he took out the painting drawn by the restaurant manager from his pocket, although it was a very artistic style, but the main characteristics of this person were still there, so he showed Fu Qingfeng Lin Lin and said: "This person, have you ever seen it usually, with long hair and a long beard." ”
Fu Qingfeng took it and looked at it for a long time and didn't come up with it, Lin Lin looked at it again and again, thought about it and said with some certainty: "I see, I want to see him over there in the market, I always saw him passing by there some time ago, because a man has long hair, which is quite noticeable." ”
"Really, have you really seen him, where is the market, Mom tell me quickly. Gao Zhao didn't expect the news to come so soon, and happily took Lin Lin's hand and asked.
"But I don't seem to have seen him lately, and what I used to see often was the market we frequented, maybe it was a rented house over there, and the house over there was quite cheap. Lin Lin looked at the painting again and said with certainty.
"Mom, can you take me there, I want to find him. Gao Zhao seemed to see hope.
"Okay, let's go over and have a look, anyway, we're so full, go for a walk," Lin Lin nodded and said.
Lin Lin took Gao Zhao to the place where he had seen that person in the market, and pointed and said: "I often see him passing by here, you see, the dilapidated houses over there are very cheap rents, maybe they live over there, let's go and ask." ”
So they walked over and asked, Fu Qingfeng Lin Lin was a local, and it was very convenient to communicate with those landlords, and they immediately asked which building that person lived in.
"Hello, may I ask if you have lived with this person here?" Gao Zhao took the painting to the landlord to confirm.
The landlord was an elderly uncle, who looked at the thick reading glasses again and again, and looked at them for a long time before nodding and saying, "Yes, what's wrong?"
"What room does he live in, can you take us to see it, this is my friend, I have something to look for him." Gao Zhao said excitedly.
"I can't see it, he moved out a few months ago, and now that room is rented to someone else. The old man waved his hand and said.
"What? do you know where he's moving?" he asked, though the chances were slim.
"How do I know, people here live for a short time, hundreds of people come in and out a year, I can't remember, I can't remember, if it weren't for this bearded man's departure, I still left without a month's rent, I can't remember him, by the way, you said you are his friend, you help him pay that month's rent." "The old man looks like a fool, but he is actually very shrewd.
"Yes, but you can tell me a little more about him, anything, and I'll let him pay the rent." "All it takes is a little bit of news.
The old landlord thought about it for a long time, but no one came up with anything, so he said: "That man is very lonely, he never greets people, and when he comes back, he is locked in the house, and if he wants to say something, there is really nothing to say." ”
Gao Zhao saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he directly paid the rent owed by that person to his landlord, and after the landlord received the money, he counted happily, and when Gao Zhao was about to leave, he stopped: "Oh, by the way, I cleaned up the room, and saw that he missed such a sign, and I thought he would come back to get it and keep it for him, you help him pay the rent now, and this sign will be given to you." As he spoke, he took a small silver sign from the old-fashioned drawer.
Gao Zhao took a look at it, it was a very simple silver jewelry tag, it was very old, maybe this person had been wearing it for a long time, and it was not worth anything, it seems that the landlord had not said this, he was thinking of using this to pay the rent, and he was willing to take it out when he gave him the rent, this old fox.
"There seem to be words on it, but it's too old to read clearly. Fu Qingfeng also leaned over to take a look, pointing to a few strokes in the middle of the sign and said.
"It seems that there really is a word. I don't know if this can be fixed. Gao Zhao looked at it carefully, and felt that it was very familiar, but he couldn't say that he had seen it here.
"We took it to Lao Wang's shop and asked him to fix it, he checked his craftsmanship, we are very familiar with him, and we can do it without charging money. Lin Lin suggested.
So they took it to the silver jewelry store and showed it to the boss, and he didn't make much effort to complete the words on it, and when he handed it to Gao Zhao, he was startled, and there was a 'high' word written on it.
"Xiaozhao, is this your thing, with your surname written on it. Fu Qingfeng asked curiously.
"I don't know, my name should have been just a random name from the dean, maybe it's just a coincidence. Although Gao Zhao said so, he had already decided in his heart that he was going to find the old dean once.
It was something he had been running away from, but now it seemed as if it was pushing him to find it.
"I think the person you are looking for should have something to do with you, that is, now that the clues are broken, no one can be found, and if you find him, you may find your family. Fu Qingfeng said that he was much more excited than Gao Zhao.
Gao Zhao looked indifferent, but only he knew how fast his heart was beating.
"It's okay, please be the boss" Gao Zhao took out a little money to the boss.
"No, no, a little thing, don't give, you give too much. "The boss didn't want to take his money.
"It's okay, thank you, Mom and Dad, let's go back, I'm tired after a long day. After Gao Zhao stuffed the money to the boss, he pulled Fu Qingfeng Lin Lin and left.
