Chapter 21: The First Signs

After leaving the bungalow by the fish pond.

Li Yiting didn't dare to delay any longer, he now had to rush back to No. 38 Niu Shi Street immediately.

For some reason, at this moment, he especially wanted to see the crippled man who was immobile and cynical.

Fortunately, Chen Tianyu has been waiting for him for a long time.

He saw Li Yiting walking into the small living room in high spirits, then picked up the cup and drank a few sips of water, and then took out the last cigarette in the cigarette box and only inhaled but did not vomit, Chen Tianyu knew that this guy must have made some major discovery.

Sure enough, before he could sit down, Li Yiting took the initiative to come over.

Chen Tianyu frowned slightly, waved his hand and said, "Zichen doesn't like us to smoke here. ”

Li Yiting nodded, he was slightly excited, showing an expression that would only appear in front of this person, and said with a greedy face: "Make an exception, anyway, she is not at home at this time...... It's time to celebrate. ”

Chen Tianyu pretended not to know, but dusted off the tiny soot that fell on the table with his hand in disgust, he knew that this guy would definitely not be able to hold back.

Seeing Chen Tianyu's intent to indulge, Li Yiting suddenly stopped talking, but laughed out loud.

"Cripple, it seems you knew what I found?"

Chen Tianyu had a smile on the corner of his mouth, but said in his mouth: "How do I know what you can find, I've been here for so many days, the funds are almost gone, and I haven't found any useful clues." ”

He sighed to himself: "However, seeing that you are in a hurry to go to the research institute, you must already have some eyebrows. ”

Li Yiting snuffed out the cigarette butt, and he praised: "With a filthy peer like you, if you want to do something private, you can't escape your thief's eyes." ”

Chen Tianyu sneered: "Are you scolding or praising people." ”

"Of course it's a compliment on you, it's like a god. ”

Li Yiting said what was from his heart.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

They didn't speak again until Liu Zichen walked in the door.

She was also a little surprised to see the two of them sitting there motionless: "Hey, you two are here? ”

Li Yiting said with a smile: "The big beauties are back, what are we going out for." ”

Liu Zichen smiled slightly: "It seems that Brother Li is very high-spirited today, and he actually joked with me." She went into the bathroom to wash her face, but fortunately she climbed the mountain without makeup, and she was refreshed after a while.

When she came out again, she found that the two men were already dressed and ready to go, and were looking at her narrowly.

"Do I have flowers on my face?" she wondered.

Li Yiting laughed: "Let's go, I'll take you to see a fun thing." ”

Liu Zichen said suspiciously: "What is so mysterious?" She looked at Chen Tianyu, "Didn't you just say that you won't let me participate in your affairs?"

Chen Tianyu just smiled faintly this time: "It's just a good show, and there is no danger." ”

Liu Zichen's eyes also showed a little excitement, but he said, "Okay...... I know that you can't do without me at all, but I don't want to admit my importance, and I talk about me dragging you down all day long. ”

Li Yiting hurriedly pretended to exaggerate and said, "Who said that? Which filthy thing said this? Zichen, I'll help you theorize!"

Chen Tianyu let out a long sigh: "What kind of dirty thing can it be, you people are not good birds." ”

Li Yiting and Liu Zichen hadn't laughed so happily for a long time.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

A suburb on the way to Boone.

They had never been to this place, but they didn't expect it to be different.

There were many houses scattered here and there, and as soon as they turned down the main road, dogs barked from several houses, and it seemed that there were really no strangers here. They thought to themselves that this place was really inhabited by the villagers who were born and raised in Buenyou, and looking at the smoke rising from the cooking stove and the aroma of food wafting in the air, the idyllic rural life suddenly came to their faces.

After turning from the flat cement road into the path, the road surface becomes paved with gravel and loess, and there are naturally some artemisia grass on both sides and in the middle of the road, and there are motorcycle ruts on the ground, so I think this road can only be used by small motor vehicles. At this moment, a red three-wheeled motorcycle turned around on the side of the road, and two locals were riding on the car, and they looked at the three of them for a while.

But the tricycle didn't stop and continued to bump down the path.

Chen Tianyu and his entourage followed the tricycle down, and after a while, they only smelled the exhaust and couldn't see the car, and after a while, the tricycle turned back, and there was no one in the car at this time.

The red tricycle stopped beside them, and the driver, a middle-aged woman wearing a veil, waved her hand at this time and said, "Huh, do you want to take the car?" It turned out to be a solicitor driving a motorcycle.

Li Yiting looked at Chen Tianyu, but Liu Zichen shook his head: "What kind of car are you taking, let's exercise." ”

The middle-aged woman took off the scarf, revealing a slightly dark, wrinkled face that had been exposed to the wind and sun all year round, and reached out to pat the dust on her body.

"You're not a local, are you, what are you doing here?" It seems that the female driver still lives nearby, and there is some vigilance in her words.

Everyone was speechless for a while.

Maybe they can deal with the local leaders with ease, but how can these foolish remarks be hidden from the eyes of the local people.

Chen Tianyu's heart moved, and he said wittily: "Let's take a look at the old dock, it's not far from here?" He also heard from Wang Hui, the section leader, that there was an old dock of a factory opposite the research institute, so he deliberately said it ambiguously.

The female driver really didn't suspect it: "How many years has that broken dock been abandoned, what's there to see." You're from a factory, it's not a long way to go, I'll take you by car. "Female drivers never forget to solicit customers.

She said without discussion: "But you workers are so poor that I will take less, come up." She turned the seat over, usually the sun was shining, and no one was in the car, so she turned the seat over to the side of the pure wooden plank, so as not to burn the passenger's buttocks.

Liu Zichen said with a smile: "How much do you charge less?"

"Rest assured, starting price. The female driver said casually.

This time, they can't ask any more questions, and they don't even know the starting price, they will definitely have to show their stuffing. So the three of them hurriedly climbed into the tricycle, which was a side three-wheeled, that is, an ordinary two-wheeled motorcycle after modification, hung a bucket on the side, and built a shed on the top, which happened to seat three people.

Two people sit in the bucket and one person sits on the motorcycle butt.

The car suddenly started violently, causing the three of them to fall back and look at each other.

I couldn't see that the female driver with a calm tone was driving so violently, and before she came back to her senses, the tricycle slid down the slope and bumped up, almost knocking Li Yiting to the road, Liu Zichen looked at his embarrassment, and giggled.

Li Yiting smiled bitterly: "Eldest sister, can you slow down a little?"

The female driver actually smiled, but did not speak.

The car continued to drive forward for a while, the cool mountain breeze in the morning was whistling, and the green on both sides retreated at a uniform speed, Liu Zichen said sarcastically: "You are not wrong, it is really a very fun thing." ”

The two men could only smile bitterly at the dust raised by the butt of the car.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Soon the tricycle stopped at the edge of an abandoned dock about 200 meters long and 100 meters wide, and the three people got out of the car, but the female driver was a real person and only charged them 6 yuan.

Li Yiting didn't squeak this time, took out his wallet happily, and then said unsatisfactorily: "Sister, you can't come over later?" ”

The female driver said expressionlessly: "How long will you stay, tell me the time." ”

Chen Tianyu thought for a while and said, "I'll be here in two hours." ”

The female driver looked at them suspiciously, and then said for a long time: "Your factory doesn't want to renovate this dock, right?"

Li Yiting said sensitively: "It seems that you are very familiar with our factory, eldest sister." ”

The female driver cut and started the car again: "Can you not be familiar, my husband works in your factory, and I see that a few of you are sitting in the office all day long, and you have nothing to do and think about those people, with fine skin and tender meat." ”

Li Yiting said: "Your husband has a formal job, eldest sister, do you still need to run a motorcycle to solicit customers?"

The female driver said with a little disdain: "What kind of formal job, the income is not as high as mine, and my family must not starve to death by him...... I'll pick you up in a moment, that's all. She was too lazy to say anything, and walked away, leaving a few people staring at each other.

Liu Zichen laughed: "This eldest sister has a very hot temper, but it's true." ”

Li Yiting looked at Chen Tianyu and said curiously: "Fourth brother, you went to the factory to investigate, is this the case? I heard Xu Jingnan say that the scale of this factory is not small." ”

Chen Tianyu said lightly: "How can the common people deceive people, only those who are leaders like to fool people." ”

Li Yiting said quite approvingly this time: "That's right." …… Fourth brother, do you think it's interesting for us to come and see this broken dock?" he deliberately teased.

Chen Tianyu glanced at him: "Look at a bird." Let's go......"

Liu Zichen looked at the dock curiously, good guy, it seems to be quite deep, it looks like it is at least ten or twenty meters high, if she falls, she will not be crushed, she is thinking nonsense.

Chen Tianyu had already walked out of the distance, turned around and shouted, "Hey, you little ghost, what are you looking at? Be careful of falling." ”

Liu Zichen stuck out his tongue mischievously, and hurriedly walked a few steps to follow.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Their destination was a rudimentary shipyard, and it took another ten minutes to walk from a row of abandoned factories on the edge of the dock to the sea.

In fact, this is just a workshop for repairing fishing boats, and by the way, building a few ordinary small rafts. The workshop was chaotic, and no one was seen at this time. Near the seashore there is a large rectangular shed for the storage of ship wood, which has been soaked in seawater and is several times harder than ordinary wood, which is most suitable for making wooden keels or repairing ship hulls. At this time, it had been sawn into several pieces, but it was neatly stacked, and the thickness was around 20 centimeters, and the most valuable thing in this workshop was probably here.

The price of 1 cubic meter of this kind of sea wood is 3-50,000 yuan, and the price can be even higher when the material is in short supply.

Li Yiting couldn't wait to look at the opposite side of this shed, and sure enough, what he was looking for was there with a pestle - a few old cameras, and his heart was a little inexplicably excited.

Chen Tianyu naturally noticed that his emotions began to rise, but he smiled slightly and did not speak.

The three of them were about to walk to the small processing point by the sea, where there were some formed rafts and a few tattered small fishing boats to be repaired, when suddenly a cold voice came: "Hey, what are you doing?"

The one who spoke was a middle-aged man who was holding a lunch box and pulling rice, and he looked like a local from the way he was dressed, and at this time he found that these uninvited guests who were probing their brains were obviously unclear, and if it weren't for the fact that there was a fashionable beautiful woman in the middle, he would definitely have to wonder if these people had come to steal.

However, his tone was still cold and stiff, and it was probably rare for strangers to come here.

"Hurry up, we have rules here, you can't just hang around. ”

Li Yiting took out the cigarette sleeve as usual, but when he met someone who didn't appreciate it, the middle-aged man waved his hand to block his hand handing over the cigarette, and said unceremoniously: "Don't smoke, what are you doing in this place? If you don't leave, I'm going to call the police." He really pulled out his phone.

Liu Zichen looked at Chen Tianyu suspiciously, but Chen Tianyu was expressionless, as if it was none of his business.

Li Yiting scratched his head helplessly, and said, "Don't bother to call the police, we are the police." He knew that if he didn't reveal his identity at this time, this person would really call the police.

The middle-aged man was obviously stunned, and then looked up and down at the three people in front of him with suspicion.

"Police? His thick voice was noticeably quieter.

The middle-aged man seemed to suddenly think of something, and he asked, "Do you have documents, how do I know if you are a police officer or not, and you are not wearing a uniform." ”

Li Yiting knew that he couldn't be in harmony with these people now, so he said sharply: "Do you want to see it? Then come here, come ...... What's your name and what are you doing here?" he asked rhetorically.

The middle-aged man looked at the person in front of him, and suddenly a flash of lightning suddenly shot out in his eyes, and he couldn't help but shudder, people are afraid of horizontal, his momentum suddenly became shorter, and he didn't think about any documents anymore.

"I, I didn't break the law...... he said a little tremblingly, "what are you police looking for me?"

Liu Zichen looked at this scene and laughed secretly.

Li Yiting said coldly: "Don't worry, I'm not looking for you, but are you alone here?" He looked around, there was no one else at noon, this was a knowingly asked.

The middle-aged man seemed to be relieved, he had been on the rivers and lakes for a long time, and he could still see whether the person who came was a special profession. He took the initiative to take out a pack of cigarettes this time, and walked over to smoke with some courtesy, Li Yiting glanced at him, but he didn't refuse.

"Comrade policeman, have you lost something somewhere? There are many hooligans in the village, and this kind of thing often happens. He saw that Li Yiting didn't speak, "We are here to repair fishing boats...... These woods are expensive, so the boss asked me to keep an eye on them. …… I'm the security captain here, my surname is Wu, and we actually hate these petty thefts. He was close to the trap, and he also quickly identified his "official identity".

Li Yiting finally nodded and did not continue to interrogate him.

"Is there anything unusual here lately?" he asked, in an official tone.

This Captain Wu hurriedly shook his head: "No, no, don't look at us as a mess here, but there are security guards on duty 24 hours a day, and we have several monitoring probes to shine, and the little thieves generally dare not come." ”

Li Yiting ignored him, and walked straight to the processing point near the promontory, he looked into the distance, and sure enough, there was a striking barbed wire fence there, and there were several white buildings.

Slowly, an intriguing smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Opposite the processing point is indeed the small courtyard of the research institute, and it is facing the small bungalows, and Li Yiting accidentally saw this processing point from the sea-view room.

He suddenly turned back to Captain Wu who was following closely and said, "How many days can you keep the surveillance video here, with night vision function?"

Captain Wu didn't know why, but he thought about it seriously: "In fact, our monitoring was installed early, only a 1 million pixel camera, infrared night vision is there, clear and uncertain, it should be no problem to save it for more than 30 days." …… You're going to turn up the surveillance?"
