Chapter 943: My Wife Is Missing

At four o'clock in the morning, Gu Chengxiao checked in at the SANTO Hotel.

You only have to pay a fee to stay at SANTO Inn, and this is a place where you only recognize money and not people.

It was past the prime time of the small bar, and he wanted to go back to his room first to pour out the jet lag and find out tomorrow.

Perhaps, the anonymous email will give him more clues.

It's a subtropical port city, warm and humid, with a salty smell of sea water in the air, and you can clearly hear the waves in your ears while lying in bed.

He slept in his clothes, his eyes closed, and his mind was full of Lin Qian's figure, either raising his eyebrows at him charmingly, or winking at him and selling cuteness, or waving at him with tears in his eyes, not knowing whether to call for help or let him go quickly.

He thought, how scared she must be at this moment.

Unconsciously, the sky was polished, Gu Chengxiao just took a nap, and it was the sound of the ship outside that woke him up.

The melodious horn awakens the city and the people who live here.

Gu Chengxiao got up and walked to the window, opened the window, and a fresh sea breeze mixed with the salty smell came to his face, he lifted his spirits and started the challenge of the new day with a full attitude.

Downstairs, the door of the small bar next door is closed, and it is the time when the small bar is closed during the day.

In the small alley between the small bar and the hotel, there are several drunks lying in the middle of the small bar, this phenomenon is very common here, these drunks are often frustrated people, and when they wake up, the small bar is open again, they will go in for a drink together.

It's a place where there's a huge gap between the rich and the poor, the rich can own an entire island, and the poor can't afford to even have a bed.

Gu Chengxiao was walking on the road, a little girl in ragged clothes looked at him pitifully, he saw that she was about the same age as Nannan, and his heart immediately felt pity.

As if seeing through his eyes, the little girl stretched out her hand and walked slowly towards him, whispering softly, "Help! Help!”

Two years ago, when he met a similar little beggar here, he could rationally harden his heart and walk away silently, but two years later, when he looked at the little girl who was about the same age as Nannan reaching out to him and begging, he couldn't be rational.

So, he reached into his pocket and prepared to give her the money in his wallet.

At this time, an old man rushed out, patted Gu Chengxiao on the shoulder, opened his mouth to say a kind and warm English, and said, "Hey, old friend, I've been waiting for you for a long time, you're late." ”

“？” Gu Chengxiao looked confused.

The old man squeezed his shoulders hard and forced him to take him to his hotel.

GU CHENGXIAO RECOGNIZED HIM, HE WAS THE OWNER OF THE SANTO INN, A LOCAL WHO TOLD PORNOGRAPHIC JOKES ALL DAY LONG BUT DIDN'T DARE TO LOOK AT THE PRETTY GIRL, AND HAD A VICIOUS MOUTH BUT A WARM-HEARTED HEART.

The old man pulled Gu Chengxiao back to the hotel, closed the door, and immediately reprimanded fiercely: "If it weren't for seeing that you are my guest, I wouldn't have bothered to save you, if something happens to you, the police will come to the door, and it will definitely affect my business at that time." ”

Gu Chengxiao was silent, but he just felt that the boss's character had not changed at all.

The old man couldn't wait to explain: "Look behind her, her people are hiding in the alley, as long as you take out your wallet, they will rush up, if you resist or run away, her father or brother will give you a knife, so that you will not see the sun tomorrow." ”

In fact, Gu Chengxiao understood all this, but he still said: "Thank you for the reminder, I will be careful next time." ”

"You'd better avoid these beggars, and when you see women and children rushing towards you, you should run quickly, there are already several foreign tourists who have been fooled by alms, and several have died."

"Who are these people?" Gu Chengxiao asked, "Locals? ”

"No, I don't know where the refugees came from, they are all smuggled over, and we are also helpless."

Gu Chengxiao nodded, and then turned his head towards the old man, "You really don't know me anymore?" I stayed at your hostel two years ago. ”

The old man waved his hand, "Don't say two years ago, I can't remember the travelers two months ago, I receive so many people every day, I want to remember everything, I'm not tired?" ”

Gu Chengxiao smiled, "Yes, you're right. ”

The old man beckoned him to sit down and said, "It just so happens that I have made too much breakfast, and I will give you one, free of charge." ”

"Thank you." Look, the old man is actually a warm-hearted person.

Having breakfast together, the old man asked, "Traveling here alone?" ”

"No, find someone."

"Looking for someone? Who to look for? ”

"My wife."

The old man covered his mouth and laughed, gloating: "Your wife ran away with someone? ”

Gu Chengxiao couldn't laugh or cry a little, "No, she's missing." ”

The old man was surprised, "Oh my God, missing? Was it kidnapped? Can you get it back? ”

Gu Chengxiao bowed his head and was silent.

The old man shook his head, not optimistic, "I think you better give up, the people who are missing here can't even find the bones, even if you report the crime, it's useless." ”

Probably accustomed to it, the old man gave him a profound enlightenment with his own experience, "Listen to my persuasion, young man, you can go back and start your life again, if you stay here, you will only have nothing, or even die." ”

BECAUSE OF THE PROXIMITY TO THE NAMELESS BAR, THE OWNER OF THE SANTO INN ACTUALLY KNOWS A LOT OF GOSSIP, BUT HE DOESN'T LIKE TO TALK TOO MUCH BECAUSE HE DOESN'T WANT TO CAUSE TROUBLE.

Gu Chengxiao suddenly took out all the cash from his wallet, "This is for you." ”

"NONO, BREAKFAST IS FREE, NO CHARGE."

"No, I'd like to ask you for some news."

The old man still refused, "I will never tell you who your wife's disappearance is related to." ”

Gu Chengxiao didn't say a word and took off the watch on his wrist, "Plus this." ”

This is a place where money is not recognized, and money cannot be bought, just because there is not enough money.

The old man looked at the stack of fronts, plus a watch, and accepted it with a smile, and then, he said: "A month ago, a luxury cruise ship came to the port, no one knew what it was for, and fingerprints had to be taken when entering and leaving. ”

"Where is it?"

"Not far away," the old man said, gesturing, "it's the white five-story cruise ship." ”

Gu Chengxiao looked over and vaguely saw a flag hanging on it, and the symbol on the flag was a saber.

"You want to go in?" The old man joked, "If you go in, you won't be able to get out." ”

Gu Chengxiao didn't say a word, just stared at the flag dancing with the sea breeze, it was indeed close, it was close at hand.

"Is there a way you can get me in?"

The old man was startled, and quickly shook his head, "NONONO, I really can't help it, a few days ago, a thief used diving to go over, trying to catch something, and finally went in, but didn't come out." ”

The corners of Gu Chengxiao's mouth twitched, and he glanced at the old man deeply, and he had a vague feeling that this old man was specially leaked to him.

But, no matter what, even if he knew there was a trap there, he had to go.
