The six thousand pounds that Si Yu gave was almost a toss, and if Chi Qi could not be found in Dacheng County in Hebei, I didn't know how to live.

If you have the money to fly, you have to make a bus if you don't have the money, but fortunately, this big city county is not very far from Beijing.

On the bus is a "human smell" that smells worse than in the economy class of an airplane: the smell of sweat, the sour smell of cheap scents, and the smell of excretory gases mixed with the human body are even stronger.

I sat on my side by the window, my eyes closed.

"Hey! Peer! ”

The Chinese guy sitting next to me touched my elbow and said hello.

I lazily opened my eyes and looked at him, the cap, the medieval detective's cape.

"What did you say?"

Call me a peer, I don't know what he means.

"You're a detective, aren't you? I'm a detective too! ”

He said with a grin.

"Well, how do you see that?"

He looks like a detective or a detective enthusiast in this outfit, and I, the ragged shirt that escaped death from the sea, has nothing to do with the detective in any way.

"I'm a professional detective known as 'Lost Detective'! As soon as you get in the car, I feel like you're a detective! It's a detective's instinct! ”

He replied proudly.

"Intuition? All right! ”

Claimed to be a 'lost detective', I think he has lost his IQ. Although he was mistakenly confused that I was a detective, the basis for his judgment was actually some 'detective's intuition'.

"Peer, what case are you investigating? I'm quietly telling you that I'm looking into a big case involving drugs from all over the world..."

He whispered to me.

"Aren't you a detective? Can a detective casually reveal the case he is investigating to others? Let's grow your own snacks! ”

I don't really want to talk to him.

"It's okay, Lao Tie! I can rely on you as soon as I see you! Maybe I'll need your help in the future! When the time comes, our international detective group will unite and solve this big case together, and it will be world-famous! ...”

He talked so much that I couldn't say anything. Everyone along the way thought he was a talk show to relieve boredom, and I just listened quietly and just replied to my eyes from time to time.

"Gone! Good bye! ”

Finally arrived in Dacheng County, got out of the car and said goodbye to him.

"Lao Tie, we'll meet again soon! Trust me, it's the detective's intuition! ”

He waved goodbye to me, and then said we would see each other again with what he called his 'detective intuition'.

There is a statue of the writer Peter Li in Anfu Village, and a statue of Dr. Zhou Yang in Dacheng County. I didn't deliberately look for it, but soon after I got out of the car, I saw the statue of Dr. Zhou Yang in People's Square, and I recognized the face exactly the same as Chi Qi's from a distance.

It is also a statue made of marble, but the base is well preserved. The big name and date of birth and death on the base, Zhou Yang (1989-2036), and the small print on the back introduce Zhou Yang's achievements in physics and his experience of winning the Nobel Prize, as well as his disappearance in 2036.

There are still some flowers presented by people in front of the stele, and some tourists take photos with the statue.

"It's also going missing in 2036, where do you start to find out? What is the relationship between Chi Qi and Dr. Zhou Yang? Will Chi Qi be here? ”

I stood in front of the sculpture, and these questions kept shaking in my head.

"This is Grandma Zhou Yang, a great scientist in our big city, and her home is in the family home of the Chinese Medicine Hospital! You have to follow her example, and when you grow up, you must be as good as this grandmother! ”

An old woman with a flower stand beside her led the seven or eight-year-old child and pointed to the statue of Zhou Yang to let the child serve as an example.

"It's not grandma! Isn't this a sister! ”

The child looked at the statue and retorted.

"The statue is made of a picture of her when she was young! This Grandma Zhou Yang is older than your grandma and me! ”

The old woman patiently explained to the child.

"Not really! She's a sister! I saw a young lady who looks exactly like this statue yesterday! ”

The child said aggrievedly.

Hearing that the child said that he had seen the sister in the statue yesterday, I knew that he might have seen Chiqi, so I hurriedly squatted down and asked, "Hello little friend, have you really seen this sister?" Where can I find it? ”

"I've seen it! Yesterday, this sister gave me candy to eat! In front of my aunt's house! ”

The child looked at me innocently and replied.

"Great! She's really coming to Ayutthaya County! ”

I was overjoyed.

"Don't listen to the child's nonsense, Dr. Zhou Yang has been missing for more than 20 years, and she will be almost seventy years old if she wants to live, how can she be a sister!"

The old woman didn't believe the child's claims.

"Grandma didn't believe me, I really saw it! I really saw it! It's a sister, it's a sister! ”

The adults didn't believe him, and the child began to cry.

"Don't cry little friend, I believe you, can you tell my brother where your aunt's house is?"

I comforted the child and asked him where he had seen Chiqi.

"Right there, over there!"

Listen to me and believe him, the child stopped crying and pointed into the distance.

The direction he pointed out was correct, his aunt's house was indeed in the family home of the old Chinese medicine hospital in that direction. But if you see Dr. Zhou Yang, don't believe it! ”

The old woman explained.

"I've seen it, I've seen it!"

The child still refuses to give up.

I just heard the old woman and the child talk, saying that Zhou Yang's home was in the family home of the traditional Chinese medicine hospital, and the child also said that he had seen a sister who looked exactly like the sculpture there. The sister who is exactly the same as Zhou Yang's statue is Chi Qi, yes, if the clues are true, Chi Qi must have gone to Zhou Yang's house, yes!

Zhou Yang is a Nobel Prize-winning celebrity in physics, so it is natural that it is not difficult to inquire about her home here. After asking a few passers-by, I found Zhou Yang's front door, and there was no need to ask, passers-by told me that after Zhou Yang disappeared, her mother was crazy, her father also died two years ago, and now there is only one mother in her nineties at home, fortunately, Zhou Yang has won the Nobel Prize, and the country has sent a nanny to take care of the old lady.

"Roar! It's a foreigner again, who are you looking for? ”

I knocked on the door, and a woman in her forties, dressed in a nurse's uniform, pushed open the door and asked.

"I'm here to look for it," I wanted to say or come to find Chi Qi, but after listening to the introduction of passers-by on the way, I didn't hear that Zhou Yang's mother had such a granddaughter or great-granddaughter, so I had to change my words, "I'm here to visit Dr. Zhou's mother." ”

"Good, good! Then please come in! ”

The nurse dodged out of the way and let me in.

An old woman sitting in a wheelchair, clenching her fists, saw me enter the door and said, "My son-in-law is back!" My daughter is out looking for you! You young people! Can't you stay at home in peace? Either you're looking for me, or I'm looking for you! ”

"Huh?"

I didn't know what she meant by those words, and I froze in place.

"Don't be surprised, guest! The old lady is 93 years old this year, and she is too old to make mistakes! I always call people sons-in-law, daughters! She's really pitiful to say. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, the child was selected by the state before finishing high school, and went to Beijing for key training. I didn't come back until I was in my thirties, and I disappeared within a few years of getting married! The old lady was anxious at that time, and her spirit was abnormal, sometimes good and sometimes bad. Mr. Zhou also passed away two years ago, and the old lady was left alone, hey! ”

The nurse burst into tears as she spoke.

"Guests, you can sit casually! I'm going to pour you tea! ”

The nurse wiped her tears and went to the kitchen to pour me tea.

I looked around the whole old home, and there were several old photo frames on the wall, all of which were exactly the same face as Chiqi, and these were all photos of Zhou Yang when he was young. Looking at the old lady again, the old lady looked at me quietly, her face expressionless.

"Hey!" I also sighed, inexplicably sad. I feel like I can't stay here any longer, and after staying for a long time, I have to burst into tears.

"Take care of yourself, old man, I won't bother you!"

I felt like I shouldn't bother the old man and wanted to say goodbye and leave.

"Come here! Come here! ”

She stared at me blankly and asked me to pass.

I obediently stepped forward and crouched in front of her.

"Here you go! Live your life! Don't do that! Live your life! ”

Her clenched fist suddenly loosened, and a roll of pounds leaked out of her hand to me.

"Huh? Can't ask for your money! ”

I excused myself again and again.

"Obedient! Yours! Take it! ”

She shoved the money into my hand, her eyes back, and she glanced in the direction of the kitchen.

I probably understood that it was to avoid Miss Nurse, and that this money might have some other meaning, so I didn't shirk it anymore and held it in my hand.

Bidding farewell to the old lady and the nurse, I stood at the door of Zhou Yang's house.

"There are no pounds in circulation in China, so how can an old lady have pounds? What does it mean that she gave me pounds? ”

I muttered to myself and spread my palms to look at the sterling roll. The money seemed to have been washed in water, and I immediately thought of Chiqi who braved the wind and rain to go to the matriarchal tribe.

"This money was given to the old lady by Chi Qi!"

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the printing date of the pound was 2056. The old lady is crazy, she is over 90 years old and she must not go to England, these pounds are undoubtedly given to her by Chi Qi, Chi Qi has come back! Maybe it's nearby!

Overjoyed, I held the wad of money tightly and stood in front of Zhou's house.
