Seeing that He met them coming, he greeted them with a smile. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Qi Xiaole and Wen Ru bit their ears, "You said that this foreigner is different from us Chinese, and he greets him warmly wherever he sees him." "Unlike the previous tasks, people who don't know each other are wary of each other, where to take the initiative to say hello.
Gentle and soft: "Cheerful and subtle, each with its own beauty." ”
"Hello, my name is Heidi. The red-haired woman spoke, her features deep and Middle Eastern, "You should also come and see Mother Fanny's old house, but unfortunately, the owner of this house does not welcome strangers to visit." ”
Qi Xiaole said: "How come, didn't the boss say that the current host is very hospitable?"
Heidi didn't mind Qi Xiaole's questioning, and smiled generously: "Little brother, try it yourself, if you can go in, I'll have one, thank you." ”
Qi Xiao was happy to see that the other party took the initiative to release kindness, so he naturally agreed with a smile.
He stepped forward and rang the doorbell, and after waiting for a long time no one came, Qi Xiaole muttered, "Is there no one at home?"
Wen Ru shook her head, "Someone." Just don't want to bother with us. She kept looking inside, only to see the figure of the woman behind the window on the second floor.
Qi Xiaole pressed a few more times, and seeing that there was still no response, he opened his throat and said in English that he was not fluent in: "Hello?anybodythere?"
"Ping-pong!" came the sound of falling objects from the house.
He Yu and Wen Ru were helpless, Wen Ru grabbed Qi Xiaole, who was going to continue to ring the doorbell, and said, "It seems that the master's house has been disturbed, let's go find other clues first." ”
After saying a few sorry words to the house, several people left the slope.
Heidi didn't leave, she just stood at the door, smiled and said to He Yu: "I don't have any clues, but she always has to come out, I'll wait." ”
It's a stupid idea, but it's real.
"Then let's go first. He Yu said.
"Wait. Heidi stopped them, "If I wait until she comes out, and you find clues elsewhere, how about we exchange information?"
The three of them were stunned, and He Yu and Wen Rou were a little hesitant.
Heidi shook her hair, "You Chinese are just too cautious, I came alone on this mission, you all have teammates, I am a lone wanderer, I just want to find someone to cooperate, but I don't want to rush to make enemies with others." ”
Wen Ru looked at He Yu and asked her to make a decision.
He Yu thought about it and agreed, intelligence sharing is beneficial to both parties, and they can also sell favors and friendships with each other, so why not.
But Heidi is right, Chinese communication has its own sleek set of indispensable defense.
When the three of them went downhill, they saw a tall and thin uncle in a gray trench coat hurrying up the slope, half of his face buried in the erected trench coat, and his age could only be deduced by his half-white hair.
He Yu and Wen Ru discussed for a while and decided to find out about this song town and Fanny's mother first. The three soldiers divided into two ways, Qi Xiaole went to the bars and clubs in the town to get news, while He Yu and Wen Ru went to the women in the town to chat.
He Yu and Wen Ru here, things are not going as smoothly as expected, in the concept of Westerners, it is taboo to inquire about people's privacy, they do not easily disclose other people's privacy, let alone disclose their own information. Even the elderly aunts are spending more time on themselves than on neighborhood rumors.
He Yu and Wen Ru didn't want to be taboo, so they had to talk about their aunt's interest in tasting wine and playing the piano for an afternoon, although they didn't get any information, but it was also a pleasant thing.
When the sunset came out, He Yu and Qi Xiaole met. Qi Xiaole came with the smell of wine, his eyes were a little confused, obviously he had drunk a lot. Wen Ru saw the anger on his face and said a few words to him.
Qi Xiaole smiled wryly, like a big dog who had done something wrong, bowed his head and let his girlfriend educate.
"You haven't spent the money, have you?" asked Wen Ru again.
The money on them was only the ones found in Johnson's car, and they had already spent two-thirds of it when they stayed in the hotel, and the rest of the money was given to Qi Xiaole to take to the bar, if it was really spent, there might not even be anything to eat tonight.
Qi Xiaole took out a thick stack of banknotes and smiled stupidly at his girlfriend, showing an expression of praise for me.
Wen Ru was startled when she saw such a large sum of money, and slapped Qi Xiaole's head with one hand, "You won't rob it just because your body has strengthened, right?"
"How could I be that kind of person! Aarus! You don't praise me, I won it by playing cards. Qi Xiaole felt that he was wronged, very aggrieved, and turned his head not to look at Wen Ru, but the expression of a child without sugar was exposed to He Yu's eyes on his side.
Qi Xiaole coughed, became serious, turned his head and solemnly handed the money to Wen Ru, "Aru, you take it, with me, you won't be poor!"
Wen Ru took the money with confidence, counted it, and accepted it with satisfaction.
The three of them found a la carte restaurant and began to discuss the news they got today. He Yu and Wen Ru only found out that Fanny's mother was a music teacher in the town, and soon after giving birth to Fanny, they left Eccle Town with Fanny, and the rest of the news to inquire about turned into talking about life and ideals.
This time, Qi Xiaole got the most news, and a few big men in the bar drank and drank, and all the strangeness was eliminated, not to mention that Qi Xiaole used a clever method this time.
"I said I was a little reporter, I didn't have any good news, I was about to be dismissed, and I wanted to come and find news about Fanny's disappearance. Qi Xiaole said, "There were also many reporters who came to set up news before, and they left without hearing anything useful." ”
"What about you, what useful news have you heard?" Wen Ru asked.
"I don't know if it's useful...... Qi Xiaole said honestly, "just write down everything." ”
He Yu smiled, "Then you can say it all and listen to it, Wen Ru and I will analyze and analyze." ”
Qi Xiaole only got the situation that everyone in the town knew, after all, those big men didn't have the time to explore what the parents were short of.
Fanny's mother was also a popular figure in the town back then. Mother Fanny's father is the only doctor in the town, her mother is a professor, and her family background is not bad, and Fanny's mother is good-looking and intelligent, which is deeply liked by boys of the same age in the town. At the same time, Fanny's mother also has a good singing voice, and often performs at large and small events and gatherings in the town, which is equivalent to being the star of the town.
There are many people in town who are courting Fanny's mother, but Fanny's mother has never officially stated that she has a boyfriend. So when Fanny's mother was pregnant, everyone in the town was surprised, but Fanny's mother refused to say who the child's father was, but left the town of Eckel after giving birth to Fanny.
About six or seven years after Fanny's mother left, someone bought Fanny's old house and moved in. That is, a father and daughter who now live in Fanny's mother's house.
"What about Fanny's grandparents?" asked He Yu.
Qi Xiaole thought for a while and said, "It seems that after Fanny's mother left, the two of them died soon after, and the house has been empty. ”
He Yu had a plan in his heart.
