Chapter 39: Disappearances
CHAPTER XXXIX
In the morning, I woke up early, and I should say that I didn't sleep well at night, not only because of one troublesome thing after another, but also because of the snoring of the dead fat man. I saw that Chubby was still asleep, and I didn't bother him, I got dressed and went downstairs alone, this hotel was a little deserted in the morning, except for a few guests who were sitting and eating breakfast, I couldn't see a few people, and I accidentally found the figure of Yesheng by the window, she was sitting there holding a newspaper and slowly sipping tea, very elegant.
"Good morning, Boss Yesheng." I moved my chair and sat across from her.
"Little Brother Huo got up early enough, how did you sleep with me last night?" Yesheng didn't look up at me, just kept reading the newspaper.
"Well, I slept pretty well." To be honest, I thought about what she said at first because I wanted to be crooked, but I didn't want to joke with her, I just answered very plainly.
"Just sleep well, lest you say I'm not hospitable." Yesheng put down the newspaper, slowly spun and nudged it to me, and said, "What does Little Brother Huo think of this news?" ”
I heard it, picked up the newspaper, a fragrance rushed into my nostrils, a little refreshing in this early morning, this woman has taken the newspaper is fragrant? It's really unusual. Without thinking too much about it, I turned my attention to the newspaper, which had a prominent headline in the headline: "Triumphant!" The situation in the major war zones has improved! "I've skimmed through the contents, and all of them are described as we humans have begun to organize an effective counterattack, and with certain results, driving out or even destroying the alien invaders is just around the corner.
"This ...... It's going to be good, it looks ......," I said, putting down the newspaper.
"Huh? How's it going? How to see it. Yesheng lifted his teacup and took a sip.
"Isn't that good? The song of triumph has been written, and what better word could be than this? I said.
"Oh? If you're so optimistic, then take it as good news, but sorry, I don't care about that, I'm talking about the following message. Yesheng raised his finger to me and pointed to the bottom half of the newspaper.
Confused, I picked up the newspaper again and looked down the headline, which was a slightly smaller page with the headline: "Grapevine!" S City may be in trouble! "The content is a lot of speculation, saying that the Zerg has set their sights on the city and will immediately attack, and there will be changes within the city, and it will collapse at the first touch. Seeing this, I can't help but want to laugh, this "gossip" is too small, right? What's the difference between this and?
"Haha, Boss Yesheng won't believe this kind of news, right?" After reading this news, I was about to put down the newspaper, but I was attracted by another message next to this news, which was smaller and almost negligible, but it attracted me more than the headlines and the "grapevine", because this news was about the recent disappearance of children in the city.
"Since Little Brother Huo believes the headline above, then why can't I believe the gossip below?" Although Yesheng's words are worth playing, my attention is all on the news of the child's disappearance, this message is very short, just a rough way to say that the number of children missing has increased significantly recently, regardless of whether they are high or low, there are any identities, so parents should pay more attention.
I put down the newspaper in disbelief, and unconsciously took a big sip of the cup of tea that had been spent on the night, which is too coincidental, right? Missing child? Little boys? It doesn't matter if you want to say it, and I don't believe it if you kill me.
Ye Sheng looked at me like this, didn't speak, just read the newspaper again, and said to me after a while: "Little Brother Huo cares about the news of the child's disappearance, right?" ”
When I heard this, I seemed to think that this woman would know something, and immediately relieved myself and asked, "Could it be that Boss Yesheng knows some of this news?" Ye Sheng was a little surprised that I would be interested in this matter, she just shook her head and said, "I don't know the news in it, but I just heard the customer in the store mention it." I sat back in my chair disappointed, thinking about the little boy from before.
"Yo, both of you have already had morning tea? Huo Jia, you are really, you don't call me when you get up. "Chubby has also come down from upstairs at this time, should have seen me and Yesheng at a glance, went straight to the table and pulled out a chair and sat down, saw that there was a teacup in front of me, just wanted to pick it up and take a sip, but was taken away by Yesheng, Chubby looked at Yesheng a little strangely, and then looked at me, so he had to call the waiter for tea.
"Little fatty, the little boy before, I'm afraid he has encountered a lot of trouble." I gave the newspaper news to Chubby, who was shocked.
"So, we've met professional traffickers?" Chubby said as he drank the hot tea that the waiter had just served.
"Human traffickers? What's the use of human traffickers in this world? I'm afraid that some ill-intentioned people do some ulterior deeds. "I voiced my fears.
"I have no way of knowing what happened to the two of you, but judging from this news alone, there is indeed a big problem." Yesheng put down another cup of tea, only this time closer to the edge of the table on her side.
"Yes, Chubby, drink your tea, let's go out for a walk again, maybe we can find something, I don't feel at ease sitting here." I stood up and urged Chubby.
"Don't, I just drank morning tea and haven't even eaten breakfast, so I'm leaving?" Chubby still sat still.
"Eat, eat, eat, you didn't pay for the meal yesterday, are you embarrassed to eat?" I looked at Yesheng embarrassedly, and she looked at me with a smile as well.
"Oh, yes, thank you big boss for your hospitality, we will leave first!" As soon as Xiaopang heard this, he was probably afraid that people would collect debts, so he immediately got up and left, and as soon as we walked to the door, I only heard a coquettish voice.
"Wait, little brother Huo."
I turned my head to see the tall Yesheng standing, nodded my head with my finger, and said, "Don't forget what you promised me." I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, this woman is really easy to talk about, I quickly replied yes, and went out of this hotel with Xiaopang.
"What did you promise her?" Chubby asked with a wicked smile.
"You're embarrassed to say, if you hadn't eaten and drunk nonsense, I could have promised her?" I said.
"Oh, that's what you say." Chubby didn't seem to hear what he wanted to hear, and replied casually.
We stood on the side of the road, looking at the crowded street, and didn't know where to go for a while, but thinking of the news of the child's disappearance, this should be under the jurisdiction of the police department, right? It was already a disappearance, so I beckoned Chubby to walk to the police station before, thinking that I must get some valuable clues this time.
"Eh, Huo Jia, tell me, we were cheated by two women three times in one day yesterday, isn't it a bit too embarrassing?" Chubby somehow thought of this and asked me.
"Huh? What does this say? Pit three times? "I don't understand the meaning of "three times".
"That's right, Miao's woman told us to be ready to take on the task at any time, this is counted once; Yesheng, that woman, asked us to leak information to her, and this is the second time. Chubby said it right.
"And what about another time?"
"I always felt that the price of last night's meal was not right, it couldn't be so expensive, it must have been cheated."
