"What...... What the?! Hearing the news, Sheriff Tim almost dropped his tongue, and his startled expression instantly attracted the attention of most of the guests in the restaurant, if it weren't for Ouyang Xiu and his party all covering their faces and pretending not to know Sheriff Tim, they would definitely notice that in a corner of the restaurant, there were two pairs of eyes that had been observing their every move.

"That's the way it is, Sergeant Tim, we care more about Zheng Hanfei than you do now. Can you tell me what Clifford wants to say to Zheng Hanfei? "Helpless, but now is the time to get down to business, Ouyang Xiu can't make any moves to turn around and leave, so he has to be cheeky and continue to discuss with Sheriff Tim, as for Gu Jie and Zhou Zheng, they don't have the cheekiness to continue to stay, so they left early, of course, they didn't go back, but waited outside the restaurant for Ouyang Xiu to come out.

"I'm sorry, I can't reveal this, this sentence can't be heard by a second person except for Zheng Hanfei himself. I'll tell Clifford about it first, yes! If Zheng Hanfei comes back or you have news of him, please let me know as soon as possible, I will come to pick him up, this matter is very important to him. Sergeant Tim looked at the time and found that it was already late, so he hurriedly said a few words, and when he saw Ouyang Xiu nodding in agreement, he turned around and left the restaurant with confidence.

Well, I should go too! Ouyang Xiu stretched his waist, so far there are still many people in the restaurant looking at him, Ouyang Xiu feels that his cheeks are hot even if he has a thick skin, leaving immediately is the best choice, besides, with Zhou Zheng and Gu Jie's face, can they come in again? The answer, of course, is no!

Ouyang Xiu just wanted to settle the bill, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he subconsciously looked at the corner of the restaurant, where there was an old man wearing black sunglasses and gorgeous clothes, who looked to be about seventy or eighty years old, and beside him stood a strong man who was also wearing black sunglasses, wearing a black suit, and his fierce face gave people a feeling of extreme danger.

Ouyang Xiu squinted his eyes and looked at the two of them, and then as if nothing had happened, he checked out and left, just met with Gu Jie and Zhou Zheng who were waiting outside, without saying a word, immediately pulled the two out of the restaurant, walked into a corner, turned left and right into several streets before stopping, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was following them behind him.

"Hey, Ouyang Xiu, what's wrong with you?" Gu Jie said breathlessly, if it was according to the past, this amount of exercise was nothing to him at all, due to Ouyang Xiu's sudden attack and his state of mental malaise, this was such a distance of running, which made him a little unbearable, so he had to ask Ouyang Xiu to understand, if Ouyang Xiu couldn't tell what was going on, he promised that he would definitely give Ouyang Xiu a punch.

"Someone is following us." Ouyang Xiu said lightly, "Just now, I noticed that an old man and a strong man were monitoring my every move, and the evidence was that there was only a glass of water on the dining table they were sitting on, and it didn't look like they had just ordered or had finished eating. What is more surprising is that they didn't follow, because they knew our address and thought they didn't need to follow us? Or is it ...... Have you already obtained the information you want to know? ”

Speaking of this, Ouyang Xiu couldn't help pinching his chin, his eyes full of doubts. In this regard, Gu Jie and Zhou Zheng didn't say anything, to be honest, they all felt that Ouyang Xiu was a little too careful, in fact, what he just said could not be regarded as evidence at all, but as the saying goes, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, at this juncture, being careful is nothing.

"Let's go back." Ouyang Xiu beckoned to Gu Jie, and told Zhou Zheng a few words that if there was news of Zheng Hanfei, he would notify them as soon as possible, and then walked in the direction of the hotel.

"It's still the same!" Looking at the direction in which Ouyang Xiu and the three of them left, the old man sitting in the corner of the restaurant showed a smile, shook the transparent liquid in the cup, drank it in one gulp, wiped the water stains on the corner of his mouth, glanced at the strong man beside him, and said lightly, "Have you already arranged the next thing?" ”

"Yes!" The strong man replied, "We just need to wait quietly, the development of things must be no different from what you think, if there is anything wrong on the way, you can ......" Saying this, the strong man slowly raised his left hand, put his five fingers together, and gently scratched his neck, the meaning was very obvious.

"No, I don't. I believe in your ability to do things! After all, in my current state, I can't help at all, so I can only leave it all to you! The old man waved his hand and stretched out his hand to the strong man, the strong man seemed to understand what the old man meant, and hurriedly handed over a crutch, the old man took the crutch, tapped the ground lightly, and suddenly thought of something, so he continued to the strong man: "But I'm a little interested in the letter Sheriff Tim gave them, what is that Clifford thinking?" ”

"Don't you know what you think?" The strong man smiled evilly, slowly took off his glasses, revealing a deep, pitch-black eye like a black pearl, staring at the old man.

"That's right!" The old man was silent for a few seconds, the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, he laughed a few times at the ceiling of the restaurant, and then slowly left the restaurant under the gaze of all the guests, and the strong man followed like a competent bodyguard, if Ouyang Xiu was present at this moment, he would definitely find that the strong man always kept a fist distance from the old man.

……

"You're back? How's that, is there any news of Hanfei? Ouyang Xiu and Gu Jie had just walked into the room, ghostly voices sounded in their ears, and suddenly the two of them felt the hair on their bodies rise, and when they looked at it, they found that Qu Menghan, who had been lying unconscious on the bed, was sitting on a chair, looking at them tiredly, if it wasn't for the fact that it was daytime, and the first sentence of Qu Menghan's mouth was related to Zheng Hanfei, both of them thought it was a hell.

"It turned out to be Menghan." Ouyang Xiu smiled awkwardly, stretched out his hand and scratched his head, his eyes kept rolling, he didn't know what to say, "That...... What, Zheng Hanfei has already returned, he went for a walk with us just now, if he hadn't seen Sheriff Tim on the road and said that Clifford had something urgent to see him, he would have come back with us. Right, Gujie? ”

"Right...... That's right! Seeing Ouyang Xiu blinking at himself non-stop, Gu Jie naturally understood what to say, and reluctantly showed a smile, "Sister Menghan, don't worry, Xiaofei has already come back, but I just see that you have been unconscious, so I can't bear to ......wake you up."

"Enough, don't lie to me!" Qu Menghan's roar interrupted Gu Jie's words stiffly, and at the same time startled the two of them, only to see Qu Menghan holding back tears and pulling his throat to vent the anger in his heart: "I said, is there any news of Hanfei!" You can answer honestly, don't worry about my feelings! Can't I tell if it's the truth or a lie? If Hanfei had come back before, would Kaoru have cried so sadly last night? If he had come back before, would you have had a look of disappointment in your eyes? If he had come back before, I would have ...... Will I wake up now? ”

Qu Menghan cried, crying couldn't make a cry. Ouyang Xiu and Gu Jie didn't feel good in their hearts, the white lie did not give Qu Menghan a little relief, on the contrary, it could only bring her endless pain and sorrow, until now, the two of them felt that what they just said was purely a disservice, at least at that time, if she told the truth, she would not cry like this.

"Sister Menghan, it turns out ...... You already know, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to lie to you, I just wanted to make you happy......" Gu Jie is like a child who has done something wrong, he doesn't have any manhood at all, from childhood to adulthood, in addition to his parents and relatives who dare not provoke, that is, Qu Menghan and Zheng Hanfei dare not provoke, as for the reason, I don't explain!

"Okay, Menghan, it's my fault, I shouldn't have let Gu Jie cooperate with me like that." Ouyang Xiu scratched his head in annoyance, he finally understood why he was the most annoying to talk about girls, of course, if his thoughts were known to Zhong Li Wan'er, the consequences would not be something that Ouyang Xiu could imagine at all, don't forget, as a little witch, there are things she doesn't dare to do.

"But what we just said is half-true." Speaking of this, Ouyang Xiu took out a letter from his arms, put it in front of Qu Menghan, and continued, "We did meet Sheriff Tim, he handed us this thing, saying that it was given by Clifford, you should know that person, you should have seen him on the Ocean Tranquility, and Sheriff Tim did say that Clifford had something important to look for him, it seems that Clifford and Sheriff Tim should not know that Zheng Hanfei died...... Missing news now. ”

"What about Xiaofei's news?" Qu Menghan wiped her tears and said with a hint of crying, "You know, I'm not interested in this kind of thing. ”

"It's still like that! The absence of any news, at least the absence of a body, proves that he has a better chance of being alive. While speaking, Ouyang Xiu opened the letter and comforted Qu Menghan: "Actually...... You should be concerned about this letter, perhaps seemingly unrelated clues can give you a great surprise! This is often the case and in the reasoning! ”
