Chapter Seventy-Three: The Dancing Girl (25)
After eating the last steak, Ye Lan pressed a bill with a denomination of one hundred zinc coins under the plate, turned around and left the small restaurant. She walked slowly around this small neighborhood, and the situation was not under her control, so she didn't dare to leave this neighborhood rashly to search the central neighborhood.
Suddenly, a figure passed by in the distance, Ye Lan took a closer look, isn't this Sun Lin? It was the one who came to Meiqi Island with a small ferry, she and a boy named Zhao Tao were lovers, showing affection all day long when they were on the boat, making people have the urge to throw them into the sea, of course, it is different now, quite a bit of a feeling of meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign country. Now Ye Lan already knows that in fact, the clues are hidden in the five people who are in the same boat with him, and now, the clues on Andy, Zhu Yi and the middle-aged man have been found by themselves, and only Sun Lin and Zhao Tao are left, although in the end Nancy will send the clues over, but it is also helpful to understand the background information of the clues.
"Sun Lin!" Ye Lan shouted, jumped up and waved at her, with a happy smile on her face, this is really a smile from the heart, when she is in a difficult situation, it is really lucky to meet her.
Hearing someone call her name, Sun Lin stopped her hurried footsteps, turned around to look, and saw a girl running towards her.
It's so familiar, Sun Lin flipped through the memories in his mind, and finally remembered it after a while, greeted him, and said, "Ye Lan, what a coincidence, why are you here?" ”
Ye Lan hurriedly ran over and said, "I live here, I rented a house here, by the way, what about you, why are you here?" ”
Sun Lin said: "We also live here, the hotels in the central block are too expensive, we can't afford it at all, the slums are too chaotic, being robbed of the bag is a small matter, if you are not careful, maybe you will not be able to see the sun tomorrow, in comparison, here is still very good, cheap, and not too messy, at least walk on the street before ten o'clock in the evening without worrying too much about your life." ”
Ye Lan nodded sympathetically and said, "Yes, although it is a little remote here, the security is not bad, and it may be that there is no oil and water, and no one comes." "No matter how young a city is, there will be elderly people, and this is actually the gathering place of the elderly on Meiqi Island, which is the first urban area of Meiqi Island, which is the so-called old town. The roads in the old city are cramped, the architectural style is also a little old, and they are generally low-rise, there are no so-called skyscrapers, and there are not many entertainment implementations, that is, some convenience stores, restaurants and the like, as the characteristics of Meiqi Island - there is no casino or anything, of course, this must exclude the chess and card room and mahjong room, many old people who have a lot of leisure will spend their time in the chess and card room, in the environment of Meiqi Island, they will also gamble a little money, but the main thing is not to say how much they can win, I value the enjoyment of having fun with my peers.
Of course, it is only relative to say that the public security is good, and there are many young people who want Ye Lan and they can't afford to rent a house here, they are often just coming to this island, or they are bankrupt for various reasons (mainly gambling), these young people have nothing to do, and there is no job to vent their vigorous energy, which will cause a lot of trouble to the security of the community. But in general, since they have the money to rent a house, it means that they still have some assets, and there are many more scruples about wearing shoes than barefoot, and things will not be so intense and public. It's not uncommon to fight for your life in the slums, and it's not worth much anyway, and dying early is considered an early escape from the Dead Sea, but here, although there are occasional fights, everyone is very sparing and generally doesn't do anything heavy.
Sun Lin said: "What's wrong with this, it's plain, live a life in peace, although there is no passion and stimulation to make adjustments, but there is no need to worry about suspicion and suspicion, this is the life that suits me." The tone was a little low, as if he was sighing something.
Ye Lan smiled and said, "Why do you say that, like an old man, we can play crazy now...... Before he finished speaking, Ye Lan froze there, looked at Sun Lin's hand and said, "I'm sorry, I remembered something, let's talk about it later." After saying that, he turned around and ran.
Ye Lan finally realized what information she had missed just now, and it wasn't long now, hoping that she could chase Nancy back.
On Sun Lin's hand, Ye Lan saw a ring, silver-white, decorated with a small diamond, this style of ring she had just seen, it was on Nancy's hand.
On the way to catch up with Nancy, Ye Lan calculated what the whole thing was.
I don't know what the reason is, Nancy has fallen willingly, maybe she thinks that selling flowers makes too little money, she finally started a winning business, and last night, her guest was Zhao Tao, and I don't know what Zhao Tao's kid thinks, he actually gave his ring to Nancy. At first, Ye Lan didn't pay attention to jewelry, because the three clues she got before were all small pieces of paper, but whether it was earrings, necklaces or rings, it didn't look like something that could hide pieces of paper, although today Nancy brought a set of jewelry completely different from usual, but Ye Lan didn't care. But with Sun Lin's clue prompt, Ye Lan can be sure that the fourth clue is on the ring that Nancy is wearing.
There are few ways to get back to the slum from here, and according to Ye Lan's knowledge of Nancy, she usually takes the nearest road, and Ye Lan runs all the way, and finally catches up with Nancy before she enters the slum.
At this moment, a black sedan stopped next to Nancy, and a man in a black suit got out of the car, covered Nancy's mouth with one hand, and lifted her back collar with the other, and carried her directly into the car like a kitten.
This is...... Truncated beard? Maybe it was because she had listened to the landlady talk about mahjong too much, Ye Lan saw this situation and a mahjong professional term popped out of her head. This is not important, the most important thing is to snatch Nancy back, Ye Lan casually stopped a red jeep, held his heart in his hands and made a Xizi shape, and said to the driver's eldest brother: "Can you do me a favor?" My friend has been hijacked, can you help me keep up with the car in front of me? ”
The driver's eldest brother also saw the scene just now, and when he heard Ye Lan say this, his head swayed again and again, which obviously involved the gangster fight, of course, he could hide as far as he could, he said: "No, no, I have other things, I really can't help with this favor." As he spoke, he was about to close the car door.
The soft one doesn't seem to work, it can only come to the hard one, Ye Lan pressed her body against the car door, kicked her left leg, and ran into the door, holding the driver's eldest brother's head with both hands, and with a hard shoulder and elbow, with a click, the driver's head was turned one hundred and eighty degrees by Ye Lan. Ye Lan threw the driver's body down, started the car and chased after the black car.
