Chapter 438: Three Watches in the Middle of the Night
Lai Xiaohu learned some other news about Pingliang by bribing a person who also worked in the municipal government secretary. This person named Pingliang has been on leave for half a month and has not come to work. The news of Pingliang's mother's serious illness was known throughout the office, so Pingliang easily took a week-long vacation. After Pingliang's vacation time came, but there was also news that his mother's operation failed, although Pingliang did not come during the week, but his colleagues, including Pingliang's supervisor, sympathized with his plight and did not rush him to work. Pingliang didn't go to work for half a month, and after hurriedly dealing with his mother's funeral, he didn't show up for several days, and there was no news from Pingliang in these days.
Moreover, Lai Xiaohu also learned that Pingliang's relationship with Geng Jian in the unit was not very good, and it should be said that most of the people in their unit did not have a good relationship with Geng Jian, especially Pingliang who was in the same office as Geng Jian.
Just like Lai Xiaohu saw, Geng Jian was arrogant as an ignorant person, and he was almost nostrils up to a group of colleagues from ordinary families in the office, usually Geng Jian either didn't care much about other people, or even when he spoke, it was mixed with some cynicism. In addition, Geng Jian always likes to command others to do things as a leader by relying on the relationship behind him, except for the two or three people who are talking to Geng Jian, the other people in the entire secret *book* office have no good impression of Geng Jian.
In addition to the above reasons, the relationship between Pingliang and Geng Jian is not good, but also because Geng Jian grabbed the opportunity of Pingliang's promotion. Although everyone works as secretaries in the secretarial office. But the level of each other is also different. Ping Liang finally got a chance to be promoted to half a level, but then the opportunity for promotion was given to Geng Jian. This made Ping Liang, who originally thought that he was promoted nine times out of ten, very dissatisfied, needless to say, he must have always thought that Geng Jian had robbed him of his opportunity by relying on his relationship behind his back. It is not easy for a person with no background like Ping Liang to be promoted once. Naturally, he cherishes every opportunity, and he was robbed of an opportunity by Geng Jian, so it's no wonder that Pingliang is not angry.
Ping Liang has always held a grudge against Geng Jian, but he knows that it doesn't matter if he has no background, so he can only hold back on Geng Jian. Geng Jian, on the other hand, was more dismissive of Pingliang. Perhaps, in Geng Jian's view, it is impossible for Ping Liang, who has no background and relationship, to surpass him.
Pingliang has not been to the company for half a month, and there is no trace of it, which makes it a lot more difficult for Lai Xiaohu to find Pingliang. Moreover, Lai Xiaohu learned that Pingliang had no relatives in the family, and after his mother died, it could be said that he was the only one left in the whole family. As for girlfriends. Pingliang has one, but the two of them have already broken up, as for friends or something. Most of the people in the company also said that they did not know.
Through the relationship, Lai Xiaohu found Pingliang's ex-girlfriend again, the other party is twenty-five years old and looks okay, Lai Xiaohu spent a thousand yuan to ask the other party out.
"Why did you all come to ask me about Pingliang? Did he commit something? The other party immediately asked curiously after Lai Xiaohu said Pingliang's name.
Others also came to inquire about Pingliang's news. Lai Xiaohu guessed that the person should have been sent by Geng Jian. "Nope. He didn't commit a crime, and I wasn't a police officer. ”
"So he owes usury?" The other party asked again: "I heard that his mother is sick, and he doesn't have much money." He can't be borrowing usury from you to heal his mother, is he? ”
Lai Xiaohu got very little news after asking, the other party has not been in contact with Pingliang since they broke up, and most of her news about Pingliang was inquired from others. As for whether Pingliang, who Lai Xiaohu cares about, has other relatives and friends who can take refuge, the other party said no.
"Pingliang has no relatives now, and he has a few friends, but the relationship is not very good. I had dinner with Pingliang and his friends, and I could see that their friendship was very ordinary. Those people don't look like people who will take in Pingliang. ”
gave the other party another 500 yuan to keep it secret, and then Lai Xiaohu let her go. Now it seems that if you want to find Pingliang, you have to start from Geng Jian. This Pingliang doesn't have any close contacts now, and when the other party is consciously hiding, it is not easy for Lai Xiaohu to find him.
However, Lai Xiaohu didn't believe that Pingliang would never appear, now that he asked Geng Jian for five million, he would definitely take it, as long as he dared to appear, Lai Xiaohu would be sure to catch him.
After thinking of a way, Lai Xiaohu focused on monitoring Geng Jian's father and son, and even in order not to miss the fleeting opportunity, Lai Xiaohu boldly installed a monitor in Geng Jian's house while no one was around. In this way, Geng Jian's car and home are within the scope of Lai Xiaohu's monitoring, and he can basically fully grasp Geng Jian's movements.
Through last night's surveillance, Lai Xiaohu learned about the plans of Geng Jian's father and son, and they planned to get rid of Geng Jian in one fell swoop when he appeared, and the things in Geng Jian's hands were destroyed on the spot.
The specific time and place of the meeting have not yet been determined, and Geng Jian is also waiting for Pingliang's call. Even for this meeting, Geng Jian didn't go to work the next day, and directly asked the unit for a day off, and Geng Jian's leave was naturally approved.
In the morning, Pingliang made a phone call, "How about it, do you give five million?" ”
"Give." Geng Jian immediately said: "But I want to see your people, and I also hope that you can honestly hand over things to me." ”
"Hey, hey," Geng Jian's words hadn't even spoken, and he had already hung up the phone over there, which made Geng Jian almost drop his phone in anger. Later, under Geng Feng's signal, Geng Jian calmed down, and then called You Bo again.
"The call time was too short, and the people from the Public Security Bureau said that they couldn't locate the other party's location information." Yubo said on the phone.
"Okay, since that's the case, let's wait honestly," Geng Feng said on the side when Geng Jian hung up the phone.
Although Ping Liang may not be very powerful, he still has the vigilance he should have, and he also knows that Lu Dao's phone may be monitored. So every call is short.
In fact, if Geng Jian called the police, he decided to be able to catch Pingliang under the full pursuit of the police, and Pingliang's ability to hide was still very vulnerable in front of professionals. It's a pity that Geng Jian decided not to call the police. Once the things in Pingliang's hand were obtained by the police, Geng Jian himself would be unlucky. So he could only use Yu Bo's relationship to mobilize a little police power to help him behind his back, but he definitely didn't dare to rely too much on the police, and even Geng Jian was a little guarded against it.
Although Geng Jian can mobilize a little power of the police, these forces are mobilized through Yu Bo's relationship. He still trusts Yubo very much, after all, he is his father-in-law. However, Yu Bo is only a deputy mayor, not a director of public security. Yu Bo was able to mobilize the police * or test the relationship. But after all, those relationships are not their own people, who knows if they will do a little trick behind their backs.
Lai Xiaohu heard the conversation between Geng Jian and Geng Feng clearly, in order to monitor the father and son. Lai Xiaohu drove to a place not far from Geng's house, and then waited there.
Pingliang didn't call again until noon, Geng Feng and his son were not sitting or standing by Pingliang, and they didn't even have the heart to eat lunch. But Lai Xiaohu found a restaurant outside alone to eat. Hearing the words of the two fathers and sons who kept sighing. Lai Xiaohu felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
It wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon that Pingliang suddenly called in again, "I'll send you a bank account later." You put 4.5 million out of that 5 million into this account in an hour. Give me the rest in cash. ”
"Nope." Immediately, Geng Jian refused, "I have to see you in person and get what you have before I can send money." I know you don't trust me, but I don't trust you either. ”
"Oh well. You continue to wait for me to call. Pingliang over there hesitated for a moment and then said. After hurriedly saying these few words, Pingliang immediately hung up the phone again.
"What the hell does this flat beam think?" After hearing the conversation between the two of them, Lai Xiaohu thought in his heart. Pingliang asked Geng Jian for five million, but Lai Xiaohu couldn't figure out what to do after Pingliang got the five million.
Want five million in cash? You must know that the weight of the five million cash in Lu Dao alone has reached more than 100 catties, and the volume is not small. Lai Xiaohu didn't think that Ping Liang would be able to carry such a heavy thing and escape quickly. And now that Pingliang is asking for a bank transfer, doesn't he know that Lu Dao Yubo can freeze the bank account he reported with a casual phone call. Now Pingliang has something in his hand that the Geng family is afraid of. Naturally, they didn't dare to attack him directly, but once these things were handed over. There is a great possibility that the Geng family will retaliate.
If it was someone like Lai Xiaohu, he would dare to take the five million, and he was not afraid of the Geng family's revenge at all. But even if a person like Pingliang gets five million, it is estimated that it will not be possible to spend it. But he just asked for so much money, was it just because Geng Jian was unhappy and wanted to make the Geng family have some blood.
Since he doesn't understand, Lai Xiaohu doesn't think about it, and he will always figure it out when he finds Pingliang.
Ping Liang seemed to have evaporated suddenly, and there was no news, and Geng Jian did not receive any more calls from Ping Liang throughout the afternoon and even until the evening. This also made Geng Jian angrily overturn a table at home, "Is this Pingliang playing with me again?" "People like Geng Jian have no patience, before Ping Liang had asked Geng Jian for more than 500,000, and now he opened his mouth to ask for 5 million, which has made Geng Jian very angry, thinking that Ping Liang is not keeping his promises. I had made an appointment to meet today, but there was no news at ten o'clock in the evening, which made it clear that this was the end of today. In Geng Jian's opinion, this is Ping Liang playing himself again, so it's strange if he doesn't get angry.
Geng Jian was angry, but Lai Xiaohu was very disappointed. I waited all day and waited in vain, and nothing happened. And Lai Xiaohu also listened to the conversation between Geng Jian and his son, and thought that Pingliang would not appear again today. After seeing that the time was already ten o'clock, Lai Xiaohu reluctantly left the vicinity of Geng's house.
Two streets away from Geng's house, Lai Xiaohu found a hotel, opened a room, and then rested on the bed. At about two o'clock in the middle of the night, Lai Xiaohu was suddenly woken up by an alarm bell. When I turned on the light, I saw that the alarm that turned out to be on the table went off. It was a warning device connected to the monitor on Geng Jian's car, and once the sound decibel received by the monitor reached a certain height, it would send out a warning sound to indicate that there was a change on the side of the monitor. These things were all brought over by Lai Xiaohu from Donald, anyway, the US imperialists are still very advanced in terms of surveillance. Unexpected devices are emerging.
I saw that it was this siren that sounded. Lai Xiaohu secretly shouted that he was lucky that he didn't turn off these devices when he went to bed last night, and at the same time quickly turned on the monitoring equipment to listen to what was going on over there.
In the headphones, Lai Xiaohu first heard the sound of an engine, and after a while, Geng Jian's voice came. "He let us drive to the South 4th Ring Road. Call him again when you get there. ”
"So far?" Lai Xiaohu, who heard Geng Jian's words, was shocked, this Pingliang asked to go to a place quite far away, and the South Fourth Ring Road had already run to the towns outside in Shangdu, and it was not even far from Xinshi.
Then there was a discussion between Geng Jian and Geng Feng, and through their conversation, Lai Xiaohu learned that they had already arranged a backhand, and Geng Jian planned to directly catch Pingliang and solve him when they met this time, but this kind of thing could not make their two fathers and sons come forward. So after the last time, Geng Jian found two people to help him through his own relationship.
After Geng Jian's father and son left on the road, Lai Xiaohu also hurriedly got dressed, and then ran out of the road in a hurry without washing. When they drove in the direction of Geng Jian's father and son. Lai Xiaohu looked at the time and it turned out that it was just a little over three o'clock.
"This flat beam is really good at picking time." Two o'clock in the middle of the night has always been the time when people relax their vigilance the most, even those who stay up late sleep at this time. And Pingliang chose to trade at this time, not only because it was dark at this time and there was no one outside.
And more importantly, the Geng family father and son were also suddenly woken up by Pingliang in their sleep, and then after receiving a call from Pingliang, they hurried out of the city in a hurry. It can be said that the Geng family father and son suddenly woke up from their sleep. Then he came out in a hurry. Not only will the plan arranged before be disrupted, but the effect of re-arranging it now will not be too good, because their mental state is not too good at this time, and it is estimated that the two fathers and sons are still a little confused. Pingliang can be said to have directly disrupted all the arrangements of the Geng family this time.
When you are suddenly woken up from a sound sleep, most people will have a feeling of confusion. Even Lai Xiaohu is now forcibly cheering himself up, seeing his state, Lai Xiaohu thought of the Geng family's father and son, if only the two of them had an accident while driving halfway.
Of course, that is just an expectation of Lai Xiaohu. There is no possibility of success. Because more than an hour later, Lai Xiaohu followed the Geng family father and son to the vicinity of the South Fourth Ring Road, and Geng Jian drove the car without any accidents along the way. On the contrary, it was Lai Xiaohu who struggled to keep up.
It was difficult to see other vehicles passing by on the road other than the two of them. So in order not to leak himself, Lai Xiaohu didn't even dare to turn on the headlights. After leaving the city, there were no street lights in most places, and the night road with black lights made Lai Xiaohu frightened, and he was afraid that he would drive into the ditch. And Lai Xiaohu can't get too close to Geng Jian, so the sound of the engine may be heard by the other party, and this night's tracking is Lai Xiaohu's hardest time.
After arriving at the South Fourth Ring Road, Geng Jian did not call Pingliang directly, but made a call to the two people he had arranged in advance.
"Geng Shao, you wait, something happens on our way, and we'll be there soon." As soon as the phone was connected, he quickly said.
"How? Is it serious? Geng Jian immediately asked eagerly when he heard this.
"It's not too serious, it's just that Qingpi didn't do well in the driving test, and he hit something on the road." There was a burst of complaints on the other side of the phone, "This kid named Pingliang is really looking for death, it's not good when to come out, he has to be in the middle of the night." Originally, we both slept well, but now we come out in the middle of the night to delay our rest, not to mention, and the car has crashed. "It seems that Lai Xiaohu's prayer for Geng Jian to have an accident didn't work, but someone had an accident.
"Okay, okay, I'll pay for the car repair, you and Qingpi hurry over." directly interrupted the other party's complaint, Geng Jian knew very well who the other party was.
In fact, the distance between Qingpi and Geng Jian was not too far, and in about ten minutes, Lai Xiaohu saw a car slowly driving over. Fortunately, Lai Xiaohu hid the car behind a stone pier, otherwise it might have been discovered.
"Geng Shao." Qingpi and the other person got out of the car and said respectfully to Geng Jian. As for Geng Feng, he didn't get out of the car at all.
"You're all set, aren't you?" glanced at the two of them, and then Geng Jian asked.
"Don't worry, Geng Shao. Everything is ready to make sure he doesn't see the sun in a few hours, as you say. The two said in unison.
After receiving the assurance of the two people, Geng Jian called Pingliang with confidence, "We have arrived, what should we do next?" After telling his specific location, Geng Jian asked.
"There is an ancient city wall outside the South Fourth Ring Road, you know the road, right? You wait for me near the stone monument of that section of the ancient city wall. Pingliang still did it the same way, and after a brief speech, he hung up the phone.
"Ancient city walls, go." After Geng Jian got into the car, he drove the car and continued to the south. The one named Qingpi and the other person got Geng Jian's order and began to make a detour.
"Ancient city walls?" Lai Xiaohu also has a little impression of it, it is a very old-fashioned city wall in ancient times, and it is said to be from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. However, the wall was not made of stone bricks, but was made of compacted earth, because it was old enough to be overgrown with all kinds of trees, and from a distance it looked like a small forest.
