Chapter 38: The Night That Disappeared
I was thinking about the problem when I saw Ah Si come out of nowhere, opened the car door and squeezed in.
"Savadika, we're meeting again." Ah Si smiled and folded his hands to say hello to us.
Wang Weijun and I were confused and looked at each other.
Luo Sanshui then explained, in the morning, he would have inquired about the news and left, but because of Wang Weijun's recklessness, he saw that Ah Si has real skills, we don't understand the local taboos in a foreign country, it is easy to misunderstand, no local guide can't do it, and Ah Si couldn't be more suitable, so Luo Sanshui quietly returned to the Buddha card shop while eating at noon, and asked Ah Si to be a guide.
Ah Si didn't agree at all, firstly, he had a store to guard, and secondly, it was too risky to go to the head lowering master, and he would lose his life at any time.
Luo Sanshui grasped Ah Si's greed for money and offered him a reward that was difficult to refuse, and he agreed.
I secretly asked Luo Sanshui how much he gave, and Luo Sanshui said that our deposit was all given to him, I was taken aback, this is too big! Is it really worth it to ask for such a money-hungry guide? At the same time, I also understood why Luo Sanshui didn't blame Wang Weijun for his recklessness.
Bangkok is a two-hour drive from Pattaya, and I took the opportunity to squint in the car and wake up to find that even at night it is bustling with people, with bars, dance halls and night beaches dotting the small town like it never sleeps.
After getting out of the car, we took the driver away and said that we would call him to pick us up when we needed to.
Ah Si said that the real masters of the head are all living in simple places, most of them live in sparsely populated mountainous areas, and there are a large number of traps near their residences, in the case of not knowing which mountain Sechai lives in, it is best not to rush to find it, and we are not even sure whether Liao Feng has been to Pattaya, and it is not safe to speculate on Sechai based on the style of the photo.
Luo Sanshui added, Ah Si said that it makes sense, we must not only confirm that Liao Feng has been to Pattaya, but also make sure that Liao Feng was hooked by Sechai, if these two points cannot be determined, even if he finds Sechai safe and sound, if he dies and does not admit it, we have no evidence to confront him.
Hearing what they said, we fell silent for a moment, it is too difficult to determine these two points, Liao Feng is a travel photographer, he doesn't stay in every place for too long, he is a passerby, and in the past four years, is it still possible to find traces of his stay in Pattaya? Not to mention finding evidence that Sechai had hooked him down.
Seeing that we didn't speak, Ah Si sighed and said, "Since I have received your money, even if it is impossible, we must always make some moves, let's go, go and check the clues." ”
"Where can I find clues?" Wang Weijun wondered.
"Hotel near the beach in Pattaya." Ah Si said.
"Why look for hotels near the beach?" Wang Weijun asked.
"You guys are so smart that you should be able to think of it, haha." After Ah Si finished speaking, he took the lead and walked out, and Luo Sanshui followed.
Wang Weijun stretched out his hand and wanted to ask something, but I stopped him, because I had already thought of it, and explained: "Although Liao Feng will not stay in each place for too long, he always has a temporary accommodation, and the hotel is his only choice, and he is a photographer who shoots the theme of the sea, in order to make it convenient, he will definitely live in the closest place to the sea, combined with these two points, the biggest possibility is a hotel near the beach." ”
"Hehe, in fact, I thought of it, but my eloquence is not as good as yours and I can't express it, in case I have a clue, you have to say that I thought of it when I met Wenwen." After Wang Weijun finished speaking, he squeezed his eyes at me, and then ran away with a cigarette and followed Luo Sanshui and them.
I'm a little funny, but seeing him work so hard for Zhou Wenwen, I made up my mind in my heart, I must help with this favor, I swept my eyes to Ah Si's back, this guy's brain is really fast, maybe Luo Sanshui really didn't ask him wrong.
According to speculation, we searched all the hotels near the beach, and the hard work paid off, and we really found the traces of Liao Feng's stay, and the reason why we were able to find this trace was entirely due to Liao Feng's flamboyant character!
In a small hotel called Pattaya, the boss pointed to the photo and told us that he knew this man, and the reason why he was still impressed by Liao Feng four years later was because Liao Feng once chatted with him at the front desk about interesting stories about taking pictures around the world during his stay in the hotel, and he also took a photo with the boss and signed it, saying that this was a photo of the boss and the future Pulitzer Prize winner.
The boss didn't know anything about Pulitzer, and thought he was a big man, so he kept this photo in a conspicuous place on the photo wall, and he could see this photo every day, so he was naturally impressed, and then he checked it on the Internet and found out that it was not like that.
Ah Si asked the boss again if anything special happened during Liao Feng's stay in the hotel.
The boss recalled that there was, he said that Liao Feng had the habit of going to bars and drinking at night, but he just drank and never brought a woman back for the night, but once Liao Feng seemed to disappear overnight, and as soon as he came back in the morning, he hurriedly packed his luggage and left, and there was a wound on his head oozing blood, which seemed to have offended someone.
The boss provided a valuable clue, and after saying goodbye to the boss, we followed this clue to the bar to look for it, and found the traces left by Liao Feng, which was also a photo of Liao Feng and the bar waiter, for the same reason, so the bartender was deeply impressed by him, and Liao Feng left us a clue in the dark with his flamboyant character.
The bartender also said that Liao Feng sat alone at the bar every time he came, and talked to him about his girlfriend in China, saying that one day he would win the Pulitzer Prize to propose to her.
The bartender said that this man was very affectionate, and he was the most serious man he had ever seen in the bar environment, because he was very handsome, and many women took the initiative to talk to him, but he rejected them one by one, probably because the refusal was not very polite, so he offended people, and a woman called a few people with a gangster background to beat him up and threw him on the beach, and the bar did not dare to call the police, but then he went to the beach to see, and the person was gone, and it was estimated that it was fine.
After leaving the bar, Wang Weijun frowned, I know what he was thinking, judging from the words of the bartender, the Chinese girlfriend in Liao Feng's mouth can only be Zhou Wenwen, plus the hotel owner said that Liao Feng never took a woman back for the night, which shows that Liao Feng did not do anything sorry for Zhou Wenwen, on the contrary, he still loves Zhou Wenwen very much.
"The wound on Liao Feng's head was beaten for refusing a woman in a bar." Luo Sanshui groaned.
"You have to know what kind of bar Pattaya is, what kind of beauty is not, even shemales have it, it's a paradise for sexual encounters, no matter how determined a man comes here, it is difficult to hold it, your friend can do this, it shows that he loves his girlfriend very much, admire." Ah Si said with emotion.
"Since he loves Wenwen so much, then why cheat Wenwen out of her money!" Wang Weijun had a strong sense of vinegar.
"The bartender said that he went to the beach to see, Liao Feng was gone, but he didn't go back to the hotel, and he went back to the hotel the next morning, and as soon as he went back, he hurriedly packed his luggage and left, the problem was in the night that disappeared!" I said in a deep voice.
Although I knew that the problem was in the night that disappeared, the clue was broken here, and it was impossible to trace it.
Because it was late and everyone was a little tired, Luo Sanshui proposed to stay in Pattaya for the time being, and stayed in the Pattaya-style hotel just now.
Wang Weijun and I shared a room, and Luo Sanshui and Ah Si lived in a room.
Wang Weijun was lying on the bed looking at the ceiling stunned, looking preoccupied, I knew that he was still thinking about what the bartender said just now, so he comforted him a few words and closed his eyes, but I didn't fall asleep, I kept thinking about what Wang Weijun said just now, he was right, since Liao Feng loves Zhou Wenwen so much, why cheat her money?
I fell asleep thinking about it, and I don't know how long I slept I was woken up by Wang Weijun, he said that there was movement on the beach, I asked in a daze what was the movement, he said there was a person, I said your uncle, isn't it normal for someone to have people on the beach, this big night still doesn't let people sleep, he said that it's four o'clock in the morning, there is a person on the beach, the moonlight can shine the shadow of that person, looking at the movement is very strange, like dancing, or a man.
I was indeed a little curious when I heard it, so I had to get up and look at the window, it was not far from the beach, that is, about six or seven hundred meters, and I could see it very clearly under the moonlight.
"You haven't slept all night?" I asked in a whisper.
"Lao Tzu couldn't sleep, so he was smoking in front of the window, and when he saw this person, he felt very strange and woke you up." Wang Weijun said.
"Since you two are so interested, let's go over and see what's going on." Luo Sanshui's voice came from the window next to him, and it turned out that he had also discovered this scene.
Since Luo Sanshui said so, Wang Weijun and I got out of the hotel, quietly touched the beach, found a big reef and hid there from afar.
It was a man of forty or fifty years of age, dressed in a brown coarse cloth robe, dark and rough, with long and messy hair, like those in a rock band, with thick gauze wrapped around his neck, and blood oozing, and the gauze was stained red, and at this moment he was holding his hands high to the sky, his eyes closed, his lips open, and he was reading something.
At this moment, he seemed to have found some movement, opened his eyes sharply, and followed me and Wang Weijun to see an extremely strange scene, only to see this person's head suddenly turn three hundred and sixty degrees, you must know that his body facing the sea has not moved at all, but his head can rotate three hundred and sixty degrees, no matter how awesome Jiu-Jitsu can not do this, I immediately got goosebumps.
The most frightening thing is that he finally fixed his head on the side of the big reef, and Wang Weijun and I quickly retracted our bodies, and we don't know if he found out.
