Chapter 46: The Gan Family (I)
Enter the Mohe River. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe temperature plummeted, and under the influence of strong cold air from west to east, it snowed in this autumn season in the south. Under the strong cold wind, the snowflakes flickered and hit the face and neck densely.
The poker face didn't feel cold, just a little tired. They have been looking in Mohe County for nearly a month, and they have almost searched the entire Mohe County, and they have not found any news about the Yan family of Grandma Jiang's family.
"What's going on, don't you go out and investigate it first?" Ah Shen began to complain for the fifth time this day, and it is no wonder that in the whole month, from the cool weather when he first arrived in Mohe, to the heavy snow of minus ten degrees Celsius now, the three of them found the north from the south of Mohe County, from the north to the south, and now began to conduct a carpet search from south to north.
"Maybe we didn't find somewhere." Lao Jiang was more anxious than anyone else, although he rarely heard his mother mention his mother's family, but every time he mentioned it, he could feel that the Yan family was one of the largest families in Mohe, how could there be no clues, just a few decades, and time should not change so quickly. Lao Jiang was not reconciled, they came from Hangzhou, although the transportation is developed, it can still be said that they came from thousands of miles and thousands of mountains and rivers. If it's for other things, it doesn't matter if it takes a month without results, give up halfway, and you can accept it when you go home, but Lao Jiang came to find his roots, and the blood in his body really flowed eagerly, and half of the blood of the Yan family was surging in his body, and he felt for the first time that he couldn't just forget it.
Poker Face has never questioned Lao Jiang's persistence from beginning to end, he no longer has any relatives living in the world, and he can understand better than anyone that Lao Jiang has turned his original determination into his current obsession after a month of searching. He silently dragged his tired body, and stepped forward in the thicker and thicker snow.
"Lao Jiang, are you sure that the address you are holding is correct? We've been to that address twice. Ah Shen said in disgust as he faced the blowing wind and snow. Lao Jiang ignored him, he knew that he was at a loss. He got the address from his mother's belongings. Jiang can still remember the scene of their first visit that day.
That day, the three of them rushed for a day, and finally arrived at their destination, only to find that this was a very beautiful villa and bungalow. Lao Jiang thought to himself, as expected, after all, in Lao Jiang's heart, his mother's maiden family is one of the richest and most powerful big families in Mohe, and it is normal to live in such a luxurious house. Lao Jiang looked back at Poker Face and Ah Shen. Poker's face was faint, expressionless as usual, but Ah Shen had already opened his mouth slightly in surprise, and his eyes flashed with a strange look of worship.
Lao Jiang didn't say anything, and retracted his gaze to the house. I saw that the whole house is made of solid wood, under the red tile roof, there are brick-red walls, there are two balconies on the second floor, there are many flowers and plants planted on the balconies, and you can see the white lace curtains behind the floor-to-ceiling doors and windows in the balconies. The whole house presents a unique design of the European style of petty bourgeoisie.
Lao Jiang walked up the steps in front of the door and rang the doorbell. Standing in the doorway, you can hear the ringing of the doorbell echoing throughout the house. Soon, someone answered the door. Through the video doorbell, Lao Jiang informed the intention of coming, but when he saw the visitor, he frowned suspiciously, shook his head, and said, "My master is not surnamed Yan, but Yin." After saying that, he hung up the doorbell phone mercilessly.
Old Jiang stood in a daze, not knowing what to do, he didn't expect such an answer, and he was momentarily disappointed. He stood in the doorway and waited for a while.
"What's going on?" Or Ah Shen couldn't bear it and took the lead on the steps, "It's not your grandmother's house?" ”
Old Jiang nodded blankly, "It doesn't seem to be ......"
"What do you mean, it doesn't seem to be." After Ah Shen finished speaking, he pushed Lao Jiang away and rang the doorbell again.
This time, the doorbell was quickly picked up.
"Hello." The other party was polite.
"Hello, I'm looking for your master."
"My master is not at home now." The other party was puzzled, "May I ask who you are?" ”
"I am the property of the community, and I want to ask your family to collect the property fee of the community recently." Ah Shen got serious, and he really looked good.
The people in the room hesitated for a moment, "My master is on a business trip and hasn't come back yet." ”
"Then please inform us of the property when Mr. Wang comes back. Recently, the community asked each owner to fill out a survey report on whether to build an activity center. ”
The other party immediately said, "I'm sorry, my master is not surnamed Wang, but Yin." ”
Ah Shen pretended to be surprised, "Mr. Yin? Why haven't I heard of a resident in the community with the surname Yin? ”
The other end of the phone stopped, and his voice suddenly changed, "You're not a property in the community, are you?" My owner is the president of the community golf club, you can't even know him......" After speaking, he hung up the phone.
Lao Jiang heard it clearly, but he was at a loss in his heart, could it be that after so many years, the people of the Yan family had already moved away? You can look at the whole community, although it is a high-end residential villa area, but the construction period is not short.
Lao Jiang suddenly saw a car coming from afar, and he immediately rushed to the middle of the road. The car stopped in front of Lao Jiang, and the driver poked his head out of the window and looked at Lao Jiang coldly, "This big brother, what are you doing?" ”
"I'm sorry." Lao Jiang put on a smiling face, greeted the driver's seat window, looked at the person sitting in the car, and quickly asked, "Excuse me, do you know this family?" ”
"Yes."
"Is the master's surname Yin?"
The man nodded and looked at Lao Jiang suspiciously, "Are you from other places?" ”
Lao Jiang looked at the poker face, then nodded at the man and said, "Yes, we came to find the family surnamed Yan who used to live here." ”
"You say you live in this house?" The man frowned, and suddenly laughed, "You must be mistaken, the owner of this family is surnamed Yin, and he has lived here for decades. ”
"Decades...... old Jiang muttered, his eyes were a little fluttering, and he suddenly thought of the crumpled note in his hand, on which was the address of the Yan family transcribed by Lao Jiang, he spread out the note with trembling hands, wiped the folds on the note, and sent it to the man, "Look, this address, isn't it here?" ”
The man took it, read it twice, compared the address, and nodded, "Yes, it's here." But...... There really isn't a surname Yan here. ”
"Then have you ever heard of a family surnamed Yan in Mohe?"
"That's a lot, the surname Yan is a big surname in our northeast. Do you know the name of the person you're looking for? I know I can go to the police station and ask. ”
Poker Face and Ah Shen looked at Lao Jiang together, Ah Shen had a slight blame in his eyes, blaming Lao Jiang for not thinking of this method earlier. However, Lao Jiang thought for a moment, searched for memories of this kind of information, and then finally shook his head, "I don't know." ”
"Then you've got it." The man shrugged his shoulders, as if remembering something, "I'll tell you, don't provoke this family surnamed Yin, his family has a big business, but he has a very strange personality, and he doesn't interact with people much." ”
"No wonder, a gatekeeper just now was not polite at all, it was really a fox and a fake tiger." Ah Shen then said.
The man raised an eyebrow and started the car to leave.
Lao Jiang suddenly thought of something again, leaned on the window pane, and asked, "Then do you know if there is a family surnamed Yan who is very powerful in Mohe?" ”
Lao Jiang felt his heart beat faster, because the man didn't answer quickly, he thought for a moment, and muttered, "No." ”
When Lao Jiang heard this answer, his whole heart of hope suddenly sank. He nodded and took two steps back. The man drove the car and quickly disappeared.
Poker Face stepped forward and flipped the heavy backpack on his body. Comforted Lao Jiang and said, "Don't worry, the Mohe River is so big, even if we ask from door to door, we will always ask." ”
Pokerface didn't expect his words to really become their main job for the next month. From that day on, in order to find Lao Jiang's grandmother's house, they visited almost all the shops and hotels in Mohe Town, and they even thought of going to the police station to report the case and find the lost relatives of the Yan family.
When Lao Jiang and the three of them stood at the door of this family surnamed Yin for the second time, it was already half a month later, and the owner surnamed Yin personally picked up Lao Jiang's doorbell. After listening to Lao Jiang express his intention in frustration, the other party was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice, "There is no one you are looking for here." He hung up the phone. After that, Lao Jiang tried to ring the doorbell twice, but no one answered.
"Why don't you go to that Yin family again?" Ah Shen suggested. Because they walked aimlessly on the street with few people, they unconsciously came to this villa area again. As far as the eye can see, the entire villa area has been covered with snow, and even the leaves of the green pines and cypresses are piled up with thick snow, and occasionally crackling, and the sound of snow breaking branches can be heard.
Lao Jiang was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and finally slowly walked towards the house they were already familiar with.
The snow is still falling, and it tends to get heavier and heavier. The snowflakes almost obscured their vision and froze their hearts that were about to give up.
Lao Jiang rang the Yin family's doorbell again.
"Hello." It can be heard that after the other party saw Lao Jiang outside the door from the video doorbell, his voice was a little impatient.
"Hello, I'll look for Mr. Yin."
"Sir, it's inconvenient now, please don't come again." The other party directly issued an eviction order.
For a moment, Lao Jiang felt extremely embarrassed, he lowered his head and whispered to interrupt. He was about to give up, the whole Mohe, they spent a month, and there were no clues. This is a situation he has never encountered, in the past, as long as he said a word, the Fulong Gang brothers scattered all over the country would use all their connections to find what he wanted. However, now, Lao Jiang looked at the snow, thought of his situation, and felt that his heart was like this snow-covered world, frozen three feet.
The other party added, "Don't come again, there is no one you are looking for here." With that, he hung up the phone again. Suddenly, a white jade lock appeared on the doorbell display, which was Poker Face opening his mobile phone and presenting a photo of the white jade lock to the people in the house.
"Who are you?" After a few moments, a deep voice rang out.
"He's the owner of the lock." Poker face at the door, said calmly, when he heard the sound changed, he knew that they were not looking for fault at all, after such a long search, it turned out that they had already found the right person.
With that in mind, the door slowly opened. (To be continued.) )
