Chapter 9: Finding the Final Hint
"Since all the prompts are told to us in the form of matryoshka dolls, then Ding Yuan's hiding place should not escape this routine, we now know that Zhang Ming, Ding Yuan, and the electronic payment system play the same role in the whole thing, so can we understand that the three of them belong to the same place, so Zhang Ming is hinting to us, Ding Yuan may be hiding in this original place?" I watched the light in my eyes get brighter and brighter, and then he called up the information of Ding Yuan and Zhang Ming for comparison.
The information of the two people appeared side by side on the screen, and almost the same information appeared in the graduate school days of Ding Yuan and Zhang Ming, the two people in the same department but different majors and different tutors, but because they found a bug in the electronic payment system and cooperated in the graduate project. If you use a matryoshka doll as an analogy, the relationship between the three of them is the outermost layer of the matryoshka, and there are Ding Yuan, Zhang Ming and the bug research in the payment system that has attracted countless greed one by one, and it is this campus that makes them meet.
"Ding Yuan is hiding in his alma mater?" That's my guess.
Wei Kai nodded: "According to the previous prompt mode, it is like this. What do you think? Directly ask Boss Wu to go with us? "Not for now." I thought for a moment, "I mean, if we want to look for him when we go to her alma mater this time." You must know that if Zhang Ming and the client are standing on the same station now, they should always pay attention to Ding Yuan's dynamics, and when we find him, the client will suddenly rush in, and the two of us can't even keep our own safety. But since he is so calculating, I hope his calculations will fall through this time. We went back to school this time and hinted to him that we had found Ding Yuan, and then we just had to observe his actions in the dark. ”
"You think he'll be on campus?" Wei Kai sneered, "Then people who can play tricks should know how to hide themselves at such a time, right?" ”
I shook my index finger: "No, you're wrong, I said it's just a temptation, and the old adage that being smart is mistaken by being smart applies at all times." People who are too smart will always end up being taken advantage of because of their arrogance. I said that we were going to campus, and this chest knock itself was giving Zhang Ming a fake hint that we were hooked. After that, he will definitely pay close attention to us in the shadows, and at this time, as long as he looks around, he can deceive Zhang Ming and verify his conjecture about our actions, thinking that we are doing everything possible to recruit Ding Yuan. At this time, if he is really on the opposite side of us, he will definitely notify the client immediately, for fear that he will not be able to control the dynamics of time after we take Ding Yuan away, especially when we find the right direction, he will be more nervous, at this time we can roughly determine Ding Yuan's location by observing whether someone is following us. After that, depending on the situation, it is decided whether it is necessary to notify Boss Wu to pick up people. ”
After the plan, before dawn, Wei Kai said that he rarely felt a little sleepy, so he suggested that he take a break and then go to school, after all, there is still time in the deadline, and now going to school to find someone according to the plan may not achieve the purpose of digging traps for Zhang Ming, so the two of us decided to take a break and try to make a plan at noon. When the two of us woke up, it was already more than ten o'clock in the morning, and after a little washing, Wei Kai glanced at the wall clock on the wall and decided to have lunch before setting off.
After ordering takeaway pizza, the two of them ate silently to each other. To be honest, even if I searched for vague memories, I don't remember He Weikai doing missions alone, or even the memory of two people eating alone. In my memory, it is always Ban Que who appears around me, whether it is two people cooperating or cooperating with other people, I only have Ban Que's company in my memory, and I don't seem to have too much more intimate contact with Zheng Min in my memory.
"Did we do that before?" I asked Wei Kai, "Why don't I have too many memories with you?" I was afraid that he would misunderstand and hurriedly explained: "I mean I remember you, but I'm afraid that my memory is not completely restored, and I have forgotten some memories with you, if you can, can you tell me some of it." If you can't talk about Jin Hao and Zheng Min, tell me about yours. ”
Wei Kai was stunned for a moment after hearing this: "No, we haven't had any cooperation before." His expression was a little awkward, and after he finished speaking, he kept his head down and ate silently, occasionally raising his head to help me hurry up and eat.
I didn't see what he wanted to tell me, so I didn't dwell on the topic anymore, and it wasn't until I was about to finish eating that Wei Kai raised his head and said to me as if he had mustered up a lot of courage: "Ban Que has a very strong desire to control you, and every time he cooperates with us, he will follow you, so we don't have the opportunity to cooperate with you alone." After that, Wei Kai repeatedly emphasized, "I'm not saying bad things about him, but Ban Que once quarreled with the boss because of this matter." Although, but I bumped into it by accident, I didn't hear the reason for the quarrel in the first half, but listening to the quarrel between the two of them in the back, it seems that the boss is very reluctant that he always takes you to the mission, and the boss said to let Banque stop torturing you. ”
"Torment me?" After listening to it, I was a little puzzled, "Ban Que is very good to me." "In fact, Ban Que was very good to me, and among all my recovered memories, the memories of Ban Que were the first to rush into my mind, and I have his days in my memory, and it seems that I am happy every day. He has been taking care of me all the time, and he has been with me since the very beginning of his memories, experiencing a very important day for me, and then interacting with Ban Que, turning the feelings similar to family affection into love. After that, it was as if my memories had been stolen, and all that was left was the fear and grief of the last time I experienced the explosion. I thought that our relationship was so beautiful at that time that I can't even step into the places that often appear in my memory again, and even if I occasionally walk past familiar scenes in my memory, I feel a palpable throbbing in my heart. But after this throbbing, you will feel endless sadness and sadness. A few times, I even came out in the middle of the day on the street, and I missed him so much that he couldn't come back to me.
"So I said I can't be sure." Wei Kai's words suddenly pulled me back into reality, and he looked at me with some concern: "Maybe the boss feels sorry for you, a little girl is sleeping with him outside." After all, you were too young at the time, a lot of things. Wei Kai pondered his words for a moment, "Many things will have a great impact on your feelings when they happen, such as Ban Que's final case. Wei Kai cautiously rounded up what he had just said.
I smiled and pretended not to care, but what I just said to me had to make me mind. The boss and Ban Que quarreled, and the boss felt that Ban Que was torturing me? There was no change in his expression when he spoke just now, so the group beat was sure that he was not lying, but the word 'torture' was so serious, the boss would not easily say such a thing, especially not to describe the relationship between me and Ban Que. So it must be Ban Que's sexual behavior that makes him feel dissatisfied, but Ban Que's such a considerate person will make the boss feel dissatisfied?
When the meal was almost finished, Wei Kai decided to set off with me to go to school. "I'm sorry for the brainless words I said to make you sad." Wei Kai and I apologized when we went out.
"Don't mind. After all, Ban Que is indeed too strong sometimes, and it is understandable that the boss is dissatisfied with him, but now it is impossible for us to make him strong. "I pretended not to care. Wei Kai looked at me, thought about it, and swallowed the words he was about to say back into his stomach.
I looked at him, "What's wrong?" ”
"Nothing." Wei Kai shook his head and walked out with me.
I had to figure this out, and I made up my mind in my heart.
The campus at noon was very lively, which reminded me of the scene when Li Jing and I went to the campus to investigate in the first case, which was the first time I returned to the campus after graduation, although it was different from the campus in my memory, but it was also from that time, in my almost dry river of life, there was a murmuring water flowing slowly again, and the river accumulated more and more, and finally broke through the door of memory, and vividly displayed the reality that I had been escaping in front of my eyes.
"What are you thinking?" Wei Kai's words woke me up from my memories, and I was stunned for a moment before I said, "Let's go casually first, you must first attract Zhang Ming's attention." ”
After we walked around the school blindly for half an hour, Wei Kai touched my arm and motioned to me with his eyes, someone upstairs was staring at us.
"He is worthy of being a master of escape, and his ability to 'see six ways and listen to all directions' is really worthy of his reputation." After I praised him appropriately, I pretended to pick up my phone to look, and then pointed in a direction and said in a low voice: "The plan can be implemented, let's go in one direction first, and probably walk around the places where we can hide people, just like we are really recruiting, especially those family dormitories, if you can go in, go and see, and notify Boss Wu to pick up people now, in case the real blind cat bumps into the dead mouse, let us find Ding Yuan, in order to get out smoothly and increase the bargaining chips, we must rely on Boss Wu's manpower to help." ”
"Then go west first." Wei Kai pointed in the direction we were going, "Most of the student dormitories in the west are their majors, which are newly built dormitory buildings, I have read the information before, because the conditions of the new dormitory building are very good, but the accommodation cost is a little high, so some of them are rented out, and it seems that Ding Yuan is the most likely hiding place." When I found out that someone was following us, I had already notified Boss Wu to send someone to come and pick us up. ”
When we walked to the Xinshe District, I suddenly wanted to know about Wei Kai's experience in the past few years, and I always felt that his growth speed was too fast, and it also made me more and more strange to him, in my memory he was still a child who didn't like to talk, but just liked to do magic in the corner, and the current boast could not coincide at all, as if injecting a new soul: "Wei Kai, how did you know Boss Wu?" ”
"That's how we met." I noticed that Wei Kai's back stiffened when he heard my question, and his perfunctory attitude was clearly not willing to answer my question.
"Tell me about it." I begged him.
He still had the same attitude as before, ignoring my questions, and just walked forward on his own. After walking for a while, he realized that I didn't seem to be following him, and he paused for a long time before turning his head and looking at me with some hesitation and asked, "Really want to know?" ”
I quickly chased after you and nodded vigorously: "I really want to know, I want to know more about you, I missed too many things about you, although I know that I can't compensate you, but I want to get along with you." ”
Wei Kai eased his expression and said to me with a smile: "He used to be one of our clients, when he found us a few years ago, you happened to be in a state of amnesia, and the boss was afraid of stimulating you, although it seems that it is a good thing to be stimulated now, but at that time, the boss was not sure that you would react after being stimulated, so this is a task I took in private." Back then, Boss Wu was a very hot-tempered person, in today's words, he wants to destroy my whole family if he doesn't agree with him, although he usually scares and scares me, but I was still too young at the time, and I could be easily frightened by him. And looking at his resume back then, he was really the kind of person who was very bold and didn't care about it. But he lost his position in their gang fight, and caught up with someone who wronged him for their lover who was at the helm, in short, it was very unlucky, in order to be able to make a comeback, he found me, hoping that I could help him hide for a while, because at that time, our team was rumored to be able to help people disappear from this world in disguise, so at that time he relied on the unreliable news of the code to find me and ask me to help him. I was going to refuse, but he didn't know where he found out about the bombing investigation in which Ban Que and you were involved, and threatened me to get the matter out if I didn't cooperate. And he didn't look for me about him, but went to the boss, you know that the wind was very tight at that time, and the boss could only place Banque's ashes in a province far away from here, he didn't want us to get into other troubles, so after weighing it again, the boss was ready to go back to the rivers and lakes to help him arrange his escape. But at that time, your state was very unstable, and it was completely impossible for Zheng Min to take care of you alone, so I met with him in advance without telling the boss, saying that the boss arranged for me to find him to escape the gang. But my idea is simple, if I can't help him escape, I can also help the boss buy some time to transfer, and I want to know who told him what you guys are talking about. Wei Kai said and glanced at me here and continued, "After that, maybe because of too much pressure, it stimulated my latent ability, I actually helped him escape for a year, and finally their gang, because of some disputes and infighting, his wishes were clarified, he took this opportunity to return to the previous gang, and because he prevented the later greater infighting, he found the rat hole in the gang and got a lot of appreciation, and reanswered his previous position." However, it may be a year of fugitive, which makes him tired of the old days of fighting and killing. You know, when a grace goes through a catastrophe that is a matter of life and death, he will see a lot more openly, and his temper will be much gentler than before, I just say that it is much milder than before, in fact, he is still a grumpy old man. He also didn't want to get involved in the affairs of the gang, and their gang treated him well, and in order to compensate for his previous grievances, he gave him a sum of money and let him go. Later, you also saw that the old man opened his own noodle restaurant, occasionally helping others to collect arrears, and his life was considered self-sufficient. ”
Wei Kai said lightly, but looking at the entanglement in his eyes and the sadness and desolation of his expression when he fell into memories, I think that the embassy that year was a deep scar that could not be healed for Wei Kai, and during that time, I recalled that period of time, I seemed to be enjoying the most chaotic and beautiful time in my life. I put my hand on his shoulder and said "I'm sorry" apologetically, and my guilt grew stronger. Whether I had amnesia, the experience of losing them, and it was indeed my reason that they experienced the most painful growth.
Wei Kai worked part-time on his back, and then I suddenly remembered that he was very resistant to any form of physical contact, so I immediately put my hand off her shoulder.
Wei Kai turned around and smiled at me: "You don't have to be sorry, after all, you didn't expect things to develop like that." You refused our company at the time, and when you solved the problem on your own, you knew that the consequences could be dire. You and Ban Que went into the tiger's den alone in order to protect us from harm, and I think I went to help Boss Wu at that time as a kind of repayment for you. ”
Maybe the atmosphere was too dull, Wei Kai suddenly grinned: "But thanks to Boss Wu, my later life was much better." ”
I looked up at her and didn't understand what he was laughing at: "Boss Wu is still quite capable, he found some connections and threw me into the showbiz, and also helped me change my identity, and then filmed a few popular dramas, and the money came a lot faster, Boss Wu also introduced some people to me to know, that is, those fox friends and dog friends you said, Tang I developed my underground information network, so in fact, I couldn't help but lose money in that transaction, so I made a lot of money." "Before it opened, he was comforting me to try to make things as easy as possible," all in all, the best deal to date. ”
But guilt still filled my heart, and I suddenly felt my hands on my face, tugging at my cheeks and making a laughing expression: "It's so ugly to laugh like this." I looked up with my cheeks and saw a disgusted expression on my face, "But it's better than a dull look, the expression just now is like attending my funeral, it scared me to death." ”、
I patted his hand on my face, knowing that he was making me happy, after all, it was over, and I could blame myself in my heart, but if I looked sad, it would only make them fall into more painful memories, and besides, what right did I have to put on a bitter face for them. I patted Wei Kai's messy hand on my face and changed the subject: "But did Boss Wu tell you later how he knew about what happened back then?" ”
Wei Kai shook his head and replied with a relaxed face: "I don't know, he reminded me that sometimes, some things are happiest when they are still kept in the dark." He has a bad temper after all. I don't look for him anymore, and some of the answers always come to fruition, don't they? It's like you're going to think of us and come back. ”
Seeing that we were almost in the new dormitory area, in order not to affect the investigation for a while, the two of us tacitly agreed not to mention this topic again. But at the same time, I felt that the atmosphere around me was starting to change subtly. It seemed that there were more people following us, and I poked Wei Kai's arm: "Do you feel that our guards are becoming more and more unpeaceful?" ”
"That means that our inference is not wrong, Ding Yuan should be hiding here. It seems that Zhang Ming's kid is the same as you deduced, and he is ready to sacrifice us and achieve himself. Why do you think about this kid so much, he thinks that we can't keep it, and the client can really treat him as his own? Wei Kai's expression was as relaxed as ever, not at all like he was going to be chased and cut all over the campus. From this point of view, in addition to the people from the entrusting party, there should also be people from Boss Wu around us.
Thinking like this, my heart also relaxed a little: "Maybe he can really be praised as a fragrant bait, once a person is greedy for his Ali, you can't pull it back if you want to." Can you guarantee that the client will not do this kind of stealing thing in the future? Not at all, in the future, they will still find a way to transfer the company's books to their own name, and they will still evade taxes, and there will be no improvement at all. If we really have the heart to stop, at least we won't send so many people to follow us now. "I didn't look back, and I couldn't help but feel a little funny when I thought about the group of people in the back who didn't fit the academic atmosphere at all around the campus.
"What are you laughing at?" Wei Kai asked me.
I waved my hand: "It's nothing, I just remembered the scene in the funny movie, but I didn't expect it to be really staged in real life." You seem to have been involved in acting. "I suddenly remembered a movie I watched before, which really had Wei Kai's cameo, and the role was the same as today's thinking, which didn't seem to be playing the role of a private detective.
But I immediately got up: "Are you ready?" I whispered in Wei Kai's ear.
Wei Kai nodded: "As long as you find Ding Yuan's people, the two of us will retreat, you follow me, don't worry about what happens behind you." I saw that Boss Wu's people were following us, and they would help us stop the client, and don't forget, this is a campus, and there are security patrols 24 hours a day, so they don't dare to make too much noise. Boss Wu's people will help us deal with the rest of the matter, and after we leave here, we will go to see Boss Wu, and he will take Ding Yuan to find us. But for now, we're going to find someone first. (To be continued.) )
