After Qin Fei called Zhou Yi to send some milk tea, he closed the mailbox and handed over the materials of the Leopard Group to Hua Li, and asked Hua Li to organize them into a book and archive them.

As soon as Zhou Yi came in with his things, everyone smelled a sweet fragrance, and Daping hurriedly leaned over to take the things in Zhou Yi's hand.

"Yikes! Xiao Zhouyi, what is so fragrant? Daping opened the plastic bag and leaned her head closer to sniff it.

"I've made some new tricks, Sister Daping and Sister Huahua, do you like it? I've heard that it's also beautiful! Zhou Yi said with a smile.

"Then I'm going to try it!" Daping opened the bag, and Hua Li also walked over.

"Brother!" Zhou Yi put Qin Fei's on his table, "You taste it!" ”

Qin Fei smiled and opened the dim sum box, there were two reddish-brown dim sum inside, smelling a floral fragrance, "What is this?" ”

"I added osmanthus honey to the brown sugar and red date cake." Zhou Yi smiled and helped Qin Fei open the milk tea.

"It smells so good!" Daping's intoxicated expression made Lu Ming and the others unable to help it, and they all put down the things in their hands and went over to try it.

"It's amazing!" Hua Li nodded again and again as she ate, "It's so delicious!" ”

"Alas! Why don't you think I don't have this brain cell? What is Zhou Yi doing, what do you want me to do, I guarantee that you will not have an appetite for it! Daqing said with a sigh, causing everyone to laugh.

"Even if you make it, we don't dare to eat it!" Shen Bing teased him.

"That is, what if you get poisoned? I also want to trouble Lao Shen! Lu Ming was on the side to mend the knife.

Zhou Yi smiled at them and said a few words, then turned his head to look at Qin Fei, "Brother, I plan to go back to Mao'er Mountain in a few days, it's going to be winter soon, I want to add some clothes to my grandma and parents, didn't you say you wanted to go and see it last time?" When are you available? Do you want to go together? ”

Qin Fei swallowed the snack in his mouth, took a sip of milk tea and nodded, "Okay!" By the way, go and pay a visit, and also give your grandfather a pillar of incense! When are you going to go back? ”

"New Year's Day! I've been pretty busy lately, so I wonder if you can make time for New Year's Day? ”

Qin Fei glanced at the current date, there was still more than a month before New Year's Day, and he thought that he would be able to solve Shang Kun's affairs by then, so he nodded, "There should be time, let's set it on New Year's Day first, if there is something temporary, we will make other plans, I just have a few nutritional products suitable for the elderly at home, and I will bring them back to your grandma together when the time comes!" ”

"Good!" Zhou Yi smiled happily, "Then I'll go back first, the magazine is going to do a New Year special again in the past few days, urging me to ask for photos, and I'm going to be busy for a while!" ”

"Okay, watch out for yourself, don't come back too late!" Qin Fei admonished.

Leaving Qin Fei's office, Zhou Yi hummed a song and went back to the bubble tea shop, after the last time Xiao Ran's father's incident passed, her father never came to make trouble again, and everyone gradually forgot about it.

During this period, the number of tourists from other places who came to Jiangcheng to play gradually increased, and such excitement could last until the end of the New Year, so the "corner" milk tea shop of Internet celebrities began to be busy again at this time.

Zhou Yi thought that he couldn't always help in the bubble tea shop, and if Fei Fei and Xiao Ran would be too busy, he thought about asking if he still needed to recruit another person.

As a result, Fei Fei and Xiao Ran both objected to this proposal.

"We are fast, besides, the two of us are used to cooperating, and the people who come to buy milk tea are willing to wait, no need to recruit any more, Brother Zhou, if you have something to do, you can go and get busy, just come and take a hand when you are free." Fei Fei said.

Xiao Ran also nodded, now she, like Fei Fei, treats the bubble tea shop as her own small shop and runs it with all her heart, and if she comes alone, she is afraid that if she is not familiar with it, she will ruin the hard-won atmosphere if she has a disagreement.

Seeing them say this, Zhou Yi had no choice but to compromise, so he stopped mentioning the topic, and went out with his camera on his back and started to take pictures of the magazine.

After muttering to Wu Qiang privately for a while, Qin Fei encrypted a special email and sent it to Shi Jinnan, and then patiently waited for Shi Jinnan's news.

……

At this time in Kyoto, in a conference room, the room full of people were silent, and after a long time, Shi Jinnan said: "From the second email, it seems that Ponto is almost crazy, and he doesn't take our Chinese police seriously. He can say that the release of one hostage every day within the specified time is his concession, but after the time passes, killing one person every day is a provocation and persecution to us! In any case, the above asks us to come up with a solution as soon as possible, the matter has been clear to everyone, now start discussing, no matter what point of view or idea, today we must come up with a plan that the above agrees with! ”

Everyone nodded, and began to discuss one by one.

Zhou Quan's side did not participate in this matter, one was that the level was not enough, and the other was that the matter he was investigating had fallen into a bottleneck.

On this day, Zhou Quan returned home, and his father Zhou Cheng saw that he couldn't seem to see anyone these days, so he asked, "What have you been busy with lately?" I can't see you anymore, and your mother is about to forget that there is still your son! ”

Zhou Quan smiled bitterly, "I've encountered a problem!" ”

"What's the problem? Let's talk about the convenience of picking up! ”

Zhou Quan thought for a while, and asked Zhou Cheng to go to the study to talk about it, many things were afraid that his mother would hear about it and worry about it.

entered the study and told the case in a few words, many details Zhou Quan couldn't reveal, but this was enough to make Zhou Cheng feel frightened.

"What's the problem you're talking about?" Zhou Cheng took a sip of tea to suppress the shock, and then asked.

"That's what I'm talking about, I can only find out when he arrived in Jiangcheng, it was all blank before, his previous whereabouts were very mysterious, there was no clue, or he deliberately concealed it. And I've always been skeptical about his age, especially when it comes to martial arts and acupuncture, and if he's the one who is out of the world, I don't know how to verify it. ”

Zhou Cheng nodded, he was a layman and didn't say much, but he talked to Zhou Quan about a person.

"I know a person here, nearly a hundred years old, his status is very detached, but it is difficult to meet him, but recently I heard that he has been looking for a strange person, if you have the opportunity to meet him, maybe his age will know a lot of things, there is nothing to keep secret from him, if we want to say who has the right to know anything, then only he is an old man."

After listening to Zhou Cheng's words, Zhou Quan was a little disapproving, and thought to himself, even if this old man knows more about his experience, can he know about an inconspicuous ordinary person?

"How can I meet him?" Zhou Quan still plans to ask first so that he will not be able to use this clue in the future.

"You can go to your grandpa and ask him to find a way to take you!"

After getting the letter, Zhou Quan put the matter down first, and began to investigate whether there were any missing persons in Jiangcheng at that stage when Zhou Yi was young.

It doesn't matter if you don't investigate, this investigation really made Zhou Quan find an inconspicuous case, there was no big problem with the case itself, but combined with the profile of the murderer in the subsequent serial murder case, Zhou Quan sensitively realized that this case should have something to do with Zhou Yi.

So, without telling anyone, Zhou Quan applied for field work and returned to Jiangcheng alone.

At the end of November, the city is full of golden sycamore leaves, or scattered on the ground to pave a golden road, or flying in the air with the wind, interpreting their last romance.

On the edge of a community in the south of the city, a small road separates the community from the old houses next to it, and the contrast is obvious, half modern, half old.

Zhou Quan found this place with the information he found from the police station in his jurisdiction.

The government has long since renovated this old house, but it has not been carried out for many reasons.

Zhou Quan looked at the gray walls mottled with green moss, low doors and windows, and walked slowly inside, under his feet were shallow ravines washed out by the sewage dumped by the surrounding residents, and overhead were randomly pulled wires along the telephone poles into the houses one by one.

Lowering his head to let the clothes dry, Zhou Quan walked to a small house that looked like it was about to collapse, and there was a smoking coal stove in front of the door, and black smoke was everywhere.

Zhou Quan coughed a few times, and an old voice came from the room, "Who are you looking for?" ”

Zhou Quan tidied up his standing posture, "Old man, let me inquire, does Wang Guangfu, surnamed Wang, live here?" ”

There was the sound of a bench moving in the room, and then the footsteps shuffled, and an old man who appeared to be seventy or eighty years old appeared in the doorway, hunched over.

The old man looked suspiciously at Zhou Quan, who was dressed brightly and was not from here, and asked, "What are you looking for him?" ”

In the old man's cough, Zhou Quan replied: "My surname is Zhou, I am from Kyoto, and I want to ask Mr. Wang about some old things more than ten years ago." ”

The old man didn't answer first, glanced at Zhou Quan a few times, asked him to lean to the side, picked up the tongs at the door and stabbed the coal stove twice, and sat on a blackened kettle.

"Come in!" The old man entered the house.

Zhou Quan lowered his head and entered the door, looked back at the low door frame, and turned his head to look into the room.

The furnishings in the room can be called simple, there is only one bed against the wall, and there are dirty bedding piled on top of it, which is not folded.

An old, lame square table with teacups and teapots on it.

The two benches, looking at the shiny lacquer surface on them, know that the age is not short.

"Sit down!" The old man bent down and poured a glass of water for Zhou Quan, and there were red flowers on the glass, and a hole was missing.

"Thank you, sorry to bother you!" Zhou Quan said politely.

The old man did not speak, but lit a cigarette and smoked it, and sat bent over the chair as high as the table.

"I'm an old bone, and someone else is coming to me and telling me what you want to inquire about?" The old man asked, coughing.

Zhou Quan put the fruit he bought at the intersection in his hand on the table, and the old man glanced at it.

"I'm working on a case now," Zhou Quan said, taking out his ID and handing it to the old man, "It may have something to do with the case of the Sun family next to me more than ten years ago, but many people can't find it, or the director of the police station here told me that if I want to know about what happened so long ago, I can only look for you!" ”

The old man returned the document to Zhou Quan, but his eyes looked out, as if he was reminiscing and thinking, Zhou Quan didn't bother him, and waited patiently.
