Under the strong signal interference of the simulator, my Motorola mobile phone really does not reassure me. I looked at my phone signal again and walked uncomfortably towards a small hotel on the side.

Someone was checking out of the hotel, and I waited a little longer, and when the fat man who had checked out left, he said to the lady at the cash register, "Hello, I'm here to find someone." As I spoke, I handed over my business card and a letter of introduction stamped with the seal of my antiquities department.

This cashier lady seems to be a local, not tall, dark-skinned, and not very vigilant. Looking at the letter of introduction I handed her, she casually asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”

I immediately handed her Xiao Guolin's information. It is written in great detail, with name, address, work unit, ID number and approximate check-in time, as well as Xiao Guolin's ID photo.

"It's been half a year ago, why are you still looking for it now?" The cashier asked as she operated the computer.

"Missing." I said with a pretended grief. This is not a lie.

Soon the cashier replied, "We don't have any record of this man here, he doesn't live here." ”

Things went smoothly and failed. I thanked me and walked out the door, jotted down this hotel in my notebook, and walked to the next one.

As the driver of the motorcycle said, there are many hotels around here, and I haven't finished a street when it was close to 12 o'clock. Most of the hotels were very cooperative in helping me find out the check-in records from that time, and only three hotels were very vigilant in asking me to provide police certificates, and of course I didn't. None of the hotels I investigated had Xiao Guolin's check-in information, which disappointed me, and I returned to the post office when I was close to the time I had agreed with the fat man.

From afar, I saw the fat man sitting on the steps at the door of the post office smoking a cigarette, throwing a black leather bag in front of his eyes. I still wondered in my heart, let this goods go out to inquire about the situation, he is good, but he has smuggled goods. Are you going to go out with a leather bag in the afternoon? I get angry when I think of this.

I walked over and pointed to my purse and asked, "What's going on?" ”

"Spoils of war." The fat man raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"What are you doing here? Do we have the kung fu to do this? I said angrily.

"What are you throwing a tantrum on, it's a trophy." Listening to the tone, the fat man was still aggrieved.

"What is the loot, you explain it to me."

The fat man laughed. "I was just walking by the river, and the two boys tried to rob me, so I beat them up and threw them into the river." Pointing to the leather bag in front of him, the fat man said, "These two boys are probably also robbed." They drifted down the river, and I saw that this bag was cheap for others, so I took it back. ”

I laughed angrily. "You're a plague god, and you'll have trouble everywhere you go. I didn't let anyone see it. ”

"Why not, there are people on both sides of the river, and the Vietnamese on the other side are still cheering. But there are not many people, and the atmosphere is almost there. "The fat man said this lightweight.

I looked at him blankly for a moment, and I thought that the expression on his face must be sad. I really can't do anything about him, I can't persuade and don't listen, I can't beat him, how can I rest assured that he is acting alone. These two thieves are too, who are you robbing and don't want to hit him, if nothing else, you have to think twice about this physique.

But then I thought of another question, the law and order here is so chaotic, not to mention robbing in front of so many people in broad daylight, did Xiao Guolin come alone? I had a question mark in my mind. If he wants to come here alone, it's hard to say if he can go back intact. But the fact that not only did he go back unscathed, but he also had the time and mood to write to me here, and it was more likely that someone would go with him.

I took a cigarette handed over by the fat man, didn't speak, sat side by side with him on the steps and took a puff of cigarette and thought: If someone travels with Xiao Guolin, this person will not be a member of the archaeological team, nor will it be a member of the working group led by him, no matter what they need, they will not get it through smuggling channels, and according to my experience, they should have plenty of materials and equipment. Then the person who traveled with Xiao Guolin and the purpose of Xiao Guolin's trip made me even more curious.

The fat man sat with me for a while, and said a little impatiently: "Qiangzi, let's eat first." Wherever you are in a daze, you are in a daze, find a restaurant and I will eat my food, you are in a daze, do not interfere with each other. ”

I also felt hungry when he said this, so I found a restaurant to fill my stomach first. While eating, the two of us communicated our respective situations. I can say that I have gained nothing, and to say that I have gained is to know which hotel Xiao Guolin did not stay in. The fat man gained more than me, and roughly figured out the type and scale of the smuggled goods here. It's a bit shocking to say, but I was surprised by the wide range of cars, beef, tobacco and alcohol. However, the fat man did not find the smuggling of cultural relics, even rags and foreign garbage were smuggled here, and there was no smuggling of cultural relics, not only did the fat man not believe it, but I also did not believe it.

After a brief pass, we decided to continue with our plan after lunch. The fat man also comforted me: "Don't worry, we have time, sooner or later we will have clues." ”

In the afternoon, I bought a map, followed the map, and marked it on the map, which was more intuitive than recording it in a notebook. I tried my best, but I still didn't get anything until it got dark. I looked at the watch and arrived at the appointed time to meet, so I had to give up. Back at the door of the post office, the fat man was waiting there, he was a money addict who was all over the world, and he probably came back early to rest.

Back at the hotel, we were both tired enough, took a shower, didn't have the energy to go out to eat, and directly ordered food and asked the waiter to send it to the room. The temperature here is high, and the fat man asked for a case of beer, saying that it was to cool down. However, the local beer has a low alcohol content, and I feel bloated after drinking a few bottles without getting drunk, and I don't have the belly of a fat man, so I started to run to the toilet after a few bottles. The toilet of this hotel is outside, one layer at a time, I was annoyed after a few trips, and I pressed the bell to ask the waiter for a bottle of liquor.

The fat man laughed when he saw it. "If you don't have that stomach, don't make a beer with me, or I'll be white, let's fight for a drink?"

I gave the fat man a blank look. "Pull you down. Drunk and immoral are talking about people like you. ”

The fat man smiled and didn't insist any longer. This product has a lot of alcohol and usually can't get drunk, but he got drunk and had an accident once. I don't know exactly what he picked up, I was in college at the time, and he was almost punished by the army for this.

I was waiting for the waiter to bring me the wine when I suddenly heard a rush of footsteps at the top of the stairs. It was very chaotic, listening to the sound of three or four people, and the sound stopped at the door of our room. I looked at the fat man, and I immediately looked at the bag on the ground. The fat man jumped to his feet, grabbed two bottles of beer and rushed to the door.

The door was slammed open with a "bang", and the muzzles of the two black holes pointed at the fat man, one high and one low.
