Zhou Rong, who was hungry and tired, found a restaurant for supper.

It was late at night, and there were only a few customers in the restaurant.

Zhou Rong chose a window seat and sat down, beckoning the shopkeeper to come over and order.

After ordering the food, Zhou Rong asked the shopkeeper: "Is there a place where beggars live in this area?"

The shopkeeper didn't expect him to ask such a question, so he was stunned for a moment, and then replied a little depressed: "This guest officer, I am busy in the store every day, and I am so tired when I go back at night that I lie down, where do I have time to pay attention to this?"

His answer was really unpleasant, but Zhou Rong was not angry, and only waved his hand lightly to let him go.

As soon as the shopkeeper left, Zhou Rong looked out the window.

Because it was late at night, there were no lights left on in the crowd, and it was pitch black from a distance.

Zhou Rong's heart suddenly felt inexplicably uncomfortable, and his eyes immediately dimmed.

Although his friendship with Fang Can was only more than a year, Fang Can was a real and complete friend he had met in Shuguo, and now that this friend was missing, and it was somewhat related to his farewell back then, he couldn't help but feel a little guilty in his heart.

Life is in the world, and it is difficult to find a confidant.

He began to regret why he hadn't written to him all these years.

However, now that thinking about these things is useless, Zhou Rong sighed, and inexplicably wanted to cry.

Because of the depression in his heart, Zhou Rong inevitably drank a few more drinks tonight, so when he left the restaurant, his steps were a little vain.

He walked down the street one foot at a time, trying to summon a carriage from there and take him back to the hotel.

Because he was already very drunk, he tripped over something under his feet after he had not taken a few steps, and the whole person suddenly rolled down the slope, and he realized it, but he could not find anything to stop himself, so he had to let himself keep rolling down.

With a thud, he rolled into the cold river, and the river also made him sober up at the same time.

It was so dark in the night that it took him a moment to see where he was—a river beneath the road.

He rolled straight down the slope, so he rolled straight into the river.

After struggling to climb ashore in the icy water, Zhou Rong began to head to the left side of the road, knowing that about 20 meters to that side was the main street.

The street was empty in the middle of the night, Zhou Rong waited for a long time and didn't wait for a carriage, and was depressed whether to go straight for another mile to the next street, when he suddenly felt a wave of stomach tumbling over the river, and he hurriedly leaned down and vomited.

After vomiting, Zhou Rong leaned weakly on the side of the road, looking up at the night sky without a single star.

The first half of today can be said to be all going well, but the second half of the day is full of setbacks, even the heavens can't see that he didn't write to Fang Can a few years ago, so he decided to teach him a lesson?

Zhou Rong naturally accepted this speculation, looked at the dark night sky and said "I'm sorry".

After saying that, he closed his eyes tiredly.

Let's make do with it here tonight, he said to himself.

But soon after he fell asleep, he was awakened by a cramping pain in his abdomen, and he tried to get up and try to walk down the street in front of him, but he fell to the ground in pain after taking a few steps.

It must be that there is something wrong with his stomach, and the most important thing for him now is to find a carriage and let it take him to the nearest pharmacy.

However, he was so painful that he didn't even have the strength to get up.

"In life, no illness and no pain is the greatest blessing, and other efforts are good, no need to force them. In a trance, he remembered what Fang Can had said, and couldn't help but empathize.

He struggled to his feet with all his might, and with a strong abdominal ache, he walked to the next street, where he summoned a carriage.

His legs were no longer able to take another step, let alone step into the carriage, but he did not ask the coachman to help, but first leaned his upper body against the carriage, and then moved his upper body to the carriage with the strength of his hands.

When Zhou Rong returned to the hotel, bright colors had already appeared in the east, and Zhang Yuanfeng and Wu Yichang were not in the hotel at this time.

It turned out that because they were worried that Zhou Rong was in danger, they went separately to find Zhou Rong around the imperial city.

Zhou Rong also expected it, but he didn't have the strength to go out now, so he washed roughly, and then asked the shopkeeper to find him a Lang Zhong.

While waiting for Lang Zhong to come, Zhou Rong fainted in pain again.

By the time Lang Zhong arrived, he was unconscious.

Lang Zhong looked at it and exclaimed, "I'm poisoned by food." ”

Give him medicine immediately, and then give him a needle.

The unconscious Zhou Rongquan was left to him to fiddle with.

About two quarters of an hour later, Zhang Yuanfeng came back and hurriedly filled a basin of hot water to wipe Zhou Rong's face and body.

Zhou Rong's appearance at this time was really embarrassed, and there was no blood on his face, which made Zhang Yuanfeng very worried.

Not long after, Wu Yichang also came back, and he was also surprised to see Zhou Rong like this, and hurriedly asked what happened.

"It is said that when I came back, I was already a little unconscious. Zhang Yuanfeng said.

Wu Yichang asked Lang Zhong: "What disease does he have?"

Lang Zhong said: "It's food poisoning, plus I have a cold." ”

The two nodded.

After Lang Zhong left, the two carried Zhou Rong to the bed, and then sat in front of the bed to guard.

When it was almost dawn, Zhou Rong finally woke up.

Zhang Yuanfeng and Wu Yichang dared to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Yuanfeng, it's up to you to go back to Zhaoguo to prepare the goods of Boss Dong, Boss Lu and Boss Wen, and send us a letter when you come to the Chengguan of Shuguo, and we will pick you up at that time." Zhou Rong said.

Zhang Yuanfeng hurriedly said: "Your wife is so reluctant to let you go, why don't you go back to carry the goods?"

That way, at least Zhou Rong could get together with his wife for a short time.

Zhou Rong shook his head and said, "I am the person in charge of investigating this case, how can I just come here and take care of the private relationship between men and women? ”

Zhang Yuanfeng had no choice but to say 'yes'.

"Yichang and I will go separately to find the places mentioned in the letter. Zhou Rong said.

"Hmm. Zhang Yuanfeng nodded.

Then Zhou Rong asked Wu Yichang to get the map, pointed to the map and said: "Here, here, here, and this whole area are all areas where people with the surname Ding live, and we will go to these areas separately to find them." When looking for a residential area, start with a residential area that is close to the mountain. ”

Wu Yichang nodded, and then said thoughtfully: "My lord, what if you happen to find more than one place that is the family surnamed Ding at the end of the alley behind the mountain front bridge?"

"Then it depends on who has a teenager of similar age, and then looks at his physical characteristics. Zhou Rong said.

"Yes. ”

When Zhou Rong and Wu Yichang searched separately, they found that there were many more people surnamed Ding in Shuguo than they had known before, and they were extremely widely distributed, and it would take at least a year and a half to search for them all.

Zhou Rong decided to start with Wu Yichang in the capital first.
