Zhang Jiujiu's master and apprentice left the city where they had lived for many years on the plane that day. That city was almost all of the first ten years of Zhang Jiujiu's life. I don't know when this day will return. Looking at the looming city below Bai Yuan, Zhang Jiujiu worked hard to find the neighborhood he was familiar with.

I don't know if it's because the plane doesn't pass over their house, or if it's different when they look at their home from the plane. No matter how much he searched, he couldn't find his home. Zhang Jiujiu, who was on the plane for the first time, was a little excited, and gradually forgot the sadness of parting.

After arriving at the place, someone came to pick up the airport. Mr. Lin didn't come, but everything was arranged.

"May I ask if you are Dong Zhihua's apprentice?" A polite young man with gold-rimmed glasses walked up to Dong Zhihua who had just come out with his luggage and asked.

"Yes. Who are you? Dong Zhihua knew Mr. Lin's arrangement. But I didn't know who it was, so I asked.

"Hello, I am the secretary of the municipal government office, Wu Zhengquan. I came to pick up the plane by order of my superiors. Please come with me. Wu Zhengquan introduced himself.

There was still a cool breeze in the May night in the northeast, and Zhang Jiujiu was a little cold, so the master put a coat on him. Several people got into Wu Zhengquan's business car.

"Let's go." Wu Zhengquan said to the driver.

They came to a provincial capital, Changchun, in the northeast. Changchun's industry is much more backward than Shenyang's, and the air quality and urban environment are correspondingly better. The cities of the North are not very different from those of the South in this era.

Zhang Jiujiu looked out the window, this was the first time he had come to a new city, full of curiosity. The road is lined with greenery. The greening of Changchun City is still doing well.

The business car drove quickly into the city, and the speed slowed down. It was already past seven o'clock in the night. Zhang Jiujiu's stomach was already rumbling. But he didn't shout and drink like other children.

"duang", there was a loud bang ahead. "Squeak, squeak", followed by a series of screeching brakes. It was a car accident.

"Changchun, the way we are welcome is quite special." Dong Zhihua said self-deprecatingly.

In 1993, there were not many cars in the Changchun market. Most of the car accidents in urban areas are caused by people drinking alcohol. At that time, the regulation of drunk driving was not so strict. If it weren't really good, everyone would usually drive the car home by themselves after eating and drinking.

"Mr. Dong, the urban planning of our city is still very good. Accidents like this don't happen very often. As a government worker, Wu Zhengquan is still very concerned about the image of the city. For the two of them to see this scene when they first came, they were a little unhappy.

"That's it, let's go eat first, shall we? Today you will first move into the city hall guest house. Your house will be cleaned up tomorrow. The superior personally arranged the work for you. in the Municipal Art Collection Association. I heard that you used to be in the antiques business? Wu Zhengquan continued.

"Thank you for the government's concern. I opened a small shop and ate with a mouthful of food. Just drop us off where we live, and we'll just go to a small restaurant to eat by ourselves. Dong Zhihua did not have any emotional fluctuations. He didn't care about the job he had arranged. He can't go hungry anywhere with all his skills.

"Well, let's have a quick bite to eat tonight. Tomorrow night, our director will officially hold a banquet to greet you. By the way, I would like to introduce you to the leaders of the collection association. "Neither he nor the director knew who he was receiving, but the order was given from above, so they naturally couldn't slack off.

"Forget it, it's so late, let's go home and spend more time with my family. Aren't we settled here, and there will be opportunities in the future, ah. Dong Zhihua refused. He could more or less guess Wu Zhengquan's thoughts. But I know how many pounds and taels I have. They are nothing more than house arrest in a different place.

"Alright then, I'll arrange a hotel for you first. I'm going to have to show up tomorrow night anyway. This is the task assigned to me by the leader. If you don't agree to that, then I'll be deflated when I go back. Regarding Dong Zhihua's refusal, Wu Zhengquan said with a smile.

"I'm already causing you trouble. Thank you for your leadership on my behalf. ”

After arranging accommodation, they separated. The official name of the municipal government guest house is Changchun Hotel, people are used to calling it a guest house, which is a national four-star tourist foreign-related hotel belonging to the Changchun Municipal Government. Over the years, it has been responsible for the reception of foreign friends and important government activities.

The hotel is located in the center of Changchun City, located in the bustling business district, covers an area of 40,000 square meters, has formed a unique courtyard architectural style, nearly 10 large and small buildings in the courtyard, high and low, ups and downs. The water on the artificial lake is rippling, the weeping willows on the lakeside are graceful, and the pavilion fountains echo each other, creating a pleasant garden scenery. The museum has a variety of service facilities.

Dong Zhihua took Zhang Jiujiu to find a small restaurant near the municipal government guest house to solve the problem of food and clothing. At this time, the two of them were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, and they didn't pick much, so they casually entered a restaurant on the street opposite the hotel, Rainbow Beans and Hot Pot.

"Welcome, hello sir, how many may I ask?" The waiter's words are very smooth. Changchun's service industry is still doing very well, unlike some places that treat customers with a perfunctory attitude. Don't look at the store is not big, clean and tidy. The waiters are all dressed in Tang costumes and smiling. It feels very homely.

"Just our grandfather and son, eat whatever you want." Dong Zhihua said. They want to eat quickly.

"Gentlemen, please." It was the peak of the meal, and the hall was almost full. The waiter led Dong Zhihua and the others to a window seat. Square table with four seats. In the middle of the hall are large round tables, the kind that standard 10 people eat, and there are small seats like this all around. There is also a private room inside, and bursts of laughter can be heard from time to time.

Dong Zhihua sat down to order, Zhang Jiujiu really couldn't sit still, and walked around. A message wall captivated him. Above are the notes left by customers here, and some people have posted photos, more to show affection.

What sea dry stone rotten oath, what kind of love for ten thousand years of wishes, one by one red hearts large and small spread all over the wall. Zhang Jiujiu was not interested in these words. He was there, staring intently at the pictures.

"Do you want to write about something?" An eighteen-nine-year-old girl stood behind Zhang Jiujiu and asked with a shallow smile.

"Can I leave a message too? I want to find my sister as soon as possible. Zhang Jiujiu innocently opened a pair of big watery eyes and muttered.

"It's a coincidence, there was a little girl about your age who also wanted to find her brother. Hehe, it can't be looking for you, right? The little girl smiled like a flower, and joked about the child in front of her.

"Really? Did she leave a message? Where is it? Zhang Jiujiu asked seriously when he heard this.

"Written, right there." The little girl stretched out her hand and pointed to a small note not far from Zhang Jiujiu, which read: "I want to go back to find Master, I miss Brother Jiu'er." The inscription is "Zhang Nier"!

"Master......" Zhang Jiujiu shouted, feeling inappropriate. rushed to his master and whispered to Dong Zhihua: "Master, my sister has also been here." ”

"What? How can it be? Dong Zhihua said in surprise.

"Master, look, she wrote a note on the message wall." Zhang Jiujiu pulled Master to the front of the message wall.

The waiter didn't walk away, she was puzzled by Zhang Jiujiu's behavior. You can't really call yourself right, right? Is that little girl really looking for him?

"Master, here we are." Zhang Jiujiu was afraid that the master would not find it, so he put his finger on the small note.

"Huh?" Dong Zhihua sighed lightly, is there such a coincidence? He turned to the little girl's waitress and asked, "This note was left by a little girl of seven or eight years old?" ”

"yes." The waitress replied.

"When?" Dong Zhihua continued to ask.

"Just now, not for a while, less than an hour." Looking at Dong Zhihua's expression, the little girl had already confirmed her guess.

"How many people are with her?" Dong Zhihua couldn't help but grab the little girl's hand.

"Three, one woman, two men." The little girl recalled. Dong Zhihua's strength was a little big, and her wrists were numb.

"Do you know where they went?" Zhang Jiujiu is more concerned about when he will be able to find his sister.

"You let go, it hurts." The little girl shook her hand, but did not break away. "Oh, if that's the case for you, I'm not going to talk about it."

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm really anxious. I was the adoptive father of that little girl. She was kidnapped last night. If you know anything, please let us know. Dong Zhihua let go of the little girl's hand, and his face flushed slightly. When did you become so unstable?

The little girl rubbed her red wrist, raised her eyes to look at the middle-aged man in her fifties in front of her, and then looked at the child who was about the same size as the little girl who left the message before, and felt that they didn't look like bad people.

"I don't know where they went. They finished their meal and left. By the way, they seem to have two large suitcases. It's either just coming, or it's leaving. "The little girl's waitress has been around for a while, and she can remember some small details.

"Did they say anything?" Dong Zhihua wanted to know more things.

"Didn't listen to what they said. It's impossible for us to eavesdrop on the conversations of our guests. The little girl felt that she had said everything she had to say.

"You're thinking about it, we need to find her as soon as possible." Dong Zhihua said a little anxiously.

"There's really nothing left. The little girl seemed to have cried, and there were tear stains on her face, and she didn't like to talk much, so she asked me for a pen and paper to leave a message. I couldn't understand what the three adults were saying, it seemed to be Japanese. The little girl also knows that the more information you have, the better it is to find someone.

"Oh, thank you." Dong Zhihua determined that those people were the Japanese who kidnapped Zhang Nier. "Can I borrow your phone and use it?"

"Yes, at the counter, I'll take you there."

"Hey, Mr. Lin, we've found out the whereabouts of Zhang Nier." Dong Zhihua picked up the phone and dialed out.
