Chapter 36: Striking the Grass and Startling the Snake?
Su Shuang finally changed into casual clothes, and although he was still wearing sunglasses, his image was close to Liu Xiaodong and Guo Yixin's travel partners.
Liu Xiaodong did not immediately go to check for accommodation, but quickly glanced around the square. I didn't find the guide who posted the advertisement! There are significantly fewer vehicles parked in the square than last time.
He saw the grocery store, Liu Xiaodong still remembered the aunt who was guarding the store, and walked straight over.
"Hello eldest sister! Isn't this guide here today? Saying that, Liu Xiaodong handed Bian Fengcheng's business card to her, "I used to see that he always posted advertisements on the opposite car. ”
The aunt was stunned for a second and said, "Oh! Right, right! …… But I haven't seen anyone else in the past few days. ”
"How can I find him? We want to find him as a guide! The phone never got through. ”
Liu Xiaodong's idea was that they posed as tourists to contact Bian Fengcheng to see if they could find a flaw. He was worried that his voice would be recognized by Bian Fengcheng, so he specially designed a few questions on the road for Su Shuang to remember, and then Su Shuang went to make a deal with Bian Feng.
"No way, right? He doesn't have a license! The aunt said.
"No license?" Liu Xiaodong secretly shouted that it was not good, if this was the case, he might not be able to find Bian Fengcheng.
The aunt said: "After the ban came down, only a few guides received new licenses, and no one else did. ”
"Oh! So was he still advertising here some time ago? ”
"Well, he doesn't have anything else to do anyway...... He said that the ban would definitely be lifted, and that his business card would be useful. ”
"Well, that's right! So, big sister, do you know where to find him? We would like to consult with him about something. ”
The aunt shook her head: "I don't know, you can ask Li Datou, they often play cards together when they have nothing to do." As he spoke, he pointed to the end of the commercial building, "It's that auto repair shop, Li Datou is usually very idle, and this guide often plays cards with them." ”
Liu Xiaodong said "thank you", and walked quickly to the corner of the building in the direction pointed by the aunt.
Su Shuang had nothing to do after getting off the car, and after waiting for a long time, he didn't see Liu Xiaodong pick up his luggage for accommodation, and couldn't help but ask Guo Yixin: "Don't we live here?" ”
Guo Yixin was listening attentively to the conversation between Liu Xiaodong and her aunt, and then she remembered and said, "You take out all the luggage and put it in the hall, and we will come over when we are busy." After speaking, he quickly followed Liu Xiaodong over.
Li Datou's head doesn't look big, it's just a bald head. Before Liu Xiaodong could speak, he asked Liu Xiaodong directly: "Do you want to repair the tire?" ”
"No, eldest brother asks something, do you know Bian Fengcheng as a guide?"
"Bian Fengcheng...... Oh, of course I do! You asked him to be your guide? ”
"Well, you know, it's hard to find a licensed guide these days." Liu Xiaodong glanced at the auto repair shop, the store was very small, and it could only be regarded as a car repair stall.
"I'll give you his number!" Li Datou took out his mobile phone as he spoke.
"We have his number, but we can't get through!"
Li Datou put down his mobile phone: "That's right, this kid often doesn't answer the phone." ”
"yes, he's a weirdo who doesn't answer the phone while posting advertisements everywhere!" Liu Xiaodong handed Li Datou a cigarette and lit it for him, "Is there any other way to find him?" ”
Li Datou spat out a puff of cigarette: "I heard that his family forced him to post the advertisement...... I can only call again to try, this kid is used to being lazy, and when he comes to the spirit, he can't wait to run into the desert every day, and he can sleep at home all day when he is lazy! He took another puff of his cigarette, then looked at the words on the filter, "Your cigarette is easy to smoke, but unfortunately we can't buy it here!" ”
"Really? Then another one, hehe! As he spoke, Liu Xiaodong took out his cigarette case and smoked another cigarette.
"Thank you!" Li Datou was not polite, and took it and pinned it to his ear.
After saying a few more words, Liu Xiaodong said goodbye and left. He felt that asking too many questions now would make people seem abrupt. Wait for tomorrow to find an excuse, and then come over and have a good chat with Li Datou about Bian Fengcheng.
After walking more than ten meters, Li Datou's voice came from behind: "Hey, I remember, this kid sometimes lives in the staff dormitory of the fertilizer factory, or you go and try it, it's not far from here!" ”
Liu Xiaodong turned back again. According to Li Datou, Bian Fengcheng's family lived in Luoqiang, and he went to Lop Nur Town to solicit customers, and because he was far away from home, he would often stay in a friend's dormitory at the fertilizer factory.
After Liu Xiaodong and his entourage hurriedly finished their accommodation, they drove to the fertilizer factory.
Lop Nur is rich in potash salt, and the Lop Nur fertilizer plant is seven or eight kilometers away from Lop Nur Town, which is the largest and only entity enterprise in Lop Nur Town.
When he arrived near the factory, Liu Xiaodong found that the factory was bigger than he imagined. The whole factory area looks like a miniature town, more like a town than the town of Lop Nur, which has only two buildings not far away.
The doorman at the gate did not let their car in. The three of them could only get out of the car and walk, and found the staff dormitory area on the south side of the factory. But there were three five-story dormitory buildings, and they didn't know which room Bian Fengcheng lived in. When I asked the old man who was guarding the door, the old man said that there was no such person, and if it was someone who came to borrow it, it would be impossible to know where he lived.
The three of them took a few turns around the dormitory area, trying their luck to see if they could meet Bian Fengcheng. Of course, they didn't have that good luck.
Early the next morning, Liu Xiaodong asked Li Datou to "repair the car", saying that his car would always hear abnormal noises and asked Li Datou to inspect it...... During the small talk, the topic came to Bian Fengcheng. Liu Xiaodong found that Li Datou didn't know much about Bian Fengcheng. But there was one thing that still caught his attention, that is, before the "104 case" occurred, Bian Fengcheng was suspected by the police because he went to Loulan several times, and he was detained for several days. And Li Datou said that not long ago, Bian Fengcheng went to the direction of Loulan again!
"When, exactly?" Liu Xiaodong asked.
"Well, more than half a month ago, that line is the most familiar and favorite to run, which is not strange......"
"Didn't you say he didn't have a license?"
"Go in quietly! There is always a way for the wizard to get around the inspection. ”
……
In a flash, it has been the fourth day in the town of Lop Nur. Liu Xiaodong endured Su Shuang's thunderous snoring every night. In the end, Su Shuang was embarrassed and opened a separate room by himself.
In the past few days, they have been chatting with others about the disappearance in the town, intentionally or unintentionally. Here, it is suspected that the rumors of the police are similar to those of Yanzhou. There are also some people who do not believe the rumors.
Bian Fengcheng never appeared in the town, and Liu Xiaodong asked the aunt in the grocery store again, and it was basically determined that after he called Bian Fengcheng, this strange-behaved guide never appeared in the town again! To this day, including Li Datou, Bian Fengcheng cannot be contacted.
Liu Xiaodong couldn't help but think to himself, could it be that he was startling the snake?
