Chapter 331: Heart-to-Heart Connection (Part II)

Xu Ran drove the car. Chasing the reckless wasteland, you have to be quick. Shui Qing is looking at a map of the city. With Xu Ran's familiarity with Victoria Harbour, he easily got rid of Yun Tianchang and Anne, but the two didn't have time to be complacent.

"Where are you going?" Xu Ran asked Shui Qing, "Where does Yuntianlan set up a factory or where to eat?" "I thought she wanted to go through the route before Yun Tianlan's disappearance.

"What is this place?" Somewhere on the map of the blue dots.

Xu Ran took a quick glance, "It is the residence of local residents and the daily shopping market. What is it for, you ask? The direction is the opposite of the route where Yun Tianlan disappeared. ”

"The place where the car disappeared was a large flat area that could be reached in all directions, and it was generally thought that the kidnappers would escape on the main road, so the police investigation would be paved along the main road. There's a lot of police there, so there's no need for us to join in the fun. And if the kidnappers do leave the city, what can the two of us do? "The strength is weak, and following the police is a drop in the bucket, and I can't use any strength.

"So what? You have nothing to do, others go east and you go west. Bored. He took a leave of absence, but he didn't accompany her to pass the time.

"The car is gone, who can be sure that the other party will escape? Until now, the purpose of their abduction is unclear. I don't think they have to run away, they have to hide. The real places to hide are often in the most lively places where people are constantly flowing. She just wanted to think about the bandit's mentality from another perspective.

"The most dangerous place is the safest place, this method of hiding has been overused, and the whole of China knows it," Xu Ran disagreed.

"The whole of China knows it, but the whole of Africa doesn't necessarily know it." Shui Qing believes that the definition of danger to safety can still be applied, "Moreover, I don't have a clue, the blind cat touches the dead mouse, look at luck." ”

Xu Ran glanced at Shui Qing angrily, "I think you made something out of nothing, and you came to drill the tip of the horns." ”

Although he thought it would be futile, the speed did not slow down and kept heading south.

"Then let me drill and see." Yun Tianlan's car suddenly disappeared halfway, Shui Qing was quite strange about this, she intuitively felt that there was a problem with the old parking lot, but there was no evidence and she was not familiar with the place, she thought that even if she asked again in the past, she would not get an answer. "Will the car be swapped or painted in a different color in the old parking lot?"

"You think the police here are fools? They conducted a carpet search and found no traces of the car or any remnants of new paint. In other words, even if the car drove into the old parking lot, it drove out as it was. Xu Ran inquired very carefully.

"The administrator of this old parking lot has a lot of suspicions." It's not just a gut doubt, but after deep thinking, I am more sure of my guess.

"Evidence is used to handle cases and arrest people, otherwise the world will be chaotic if you rely on reasoning to draw conclusions." Xu Ran also thought that the people in the old parking lot were suspicious, but they couldn't do anything. "As far as I know, the man was under close surveillance, but he lived and ate in the parking lot, and he had no contact with the outside world."

Shui Qing also understood that Xu Ran was right.

"The other party doesn't speak, but it's a clue." Her current mindset is in reverse mode.

"How?" Xu Ran couldn't grasp Shui Qing's thoughts at all.

"Assuming that the person is an accomplice, if the direction of the police investigation is the direction in which his companion fled, he will not be able to turn a blind eye or contact the accomplice as soon as possible, or it will confuse the police to track down. He didn't speak, which only showed that he wasn't worried. Why not worry? Shui Qing asked Xu Ran.

"Because the direction that the police are tracking is the same as he envisioned, that is, the wrong direction." Xu Ran's voice suddenly rose, "Han Shuiqing, your analysis is a little reasonable." ”

"The analysis is reasonable, and the facts need to speak for themselves." The police may have been misled, but she was not necessarily right to look in the opposite direction. She had said before that the flat land was so accessible that the kidnappers could go anywhere. The blind cat meets the dead mouse, she really thinks so.

The car drove for an hour. After passing through the factory area, which is a hot spot for investment, the road surface conditions began to deteriorate. Bumps up and down, dust behind the car, and the street scene on both sides is also shabby. The gray, white and pale green mud houses are gradually mixed with more and more dilapidated mud houses. The windows of the black holes are not even bright in the tropical sun. Compared with the modern and fashionable shopping malls in Victoria Harbour, the difference is 180 degrees when you look at the straw mats used as tables on the side of the road and the wilting goods stalls.

Slum. It seems that any big city would have such a presence. Glaring, uncomfortable, like an ugly tumor growing beneath its glossy exterior, hidden somewhere unobtrusive. Knowing that it was there, it seemed incurable, so I could only try to avoid forgetting. What's more, they are reluctant to find a way to eliminate it, because only with contrast can the high status of the rich be revealed, and only then can it be used as a pleasure for people to enjoy and laugh at. Otherwise, the whole world will become rich, and what is the point of such wealth?

The South Market is just south of where they are eating, very close, five minutes away. When the car drove to the front, I found that the bazaar was larger and more crowded than expected, the roads were narrow, crowded with people, and the cars were crowded. There are no traffic lights, horns are screaming, you can drive in, and when you can get around depends on luck. The two simply parked the car in the open space, got out of the car and walked.

Cape Town, the world's tourist hotspot, is a combination of baylines, mountains and savannahs, and its natural landscape far outweighs the modern and beautiful architecture of the city, while the woodwork, handmade textiles and pottery of the local residents have also gained a lot of love from overseas tourists in recent years.

Although the market is far from the city center, it was originally built to provide daily necessities for the area. Because of the increasing demand of tourists, from stalls to table stalls, from tents to storefronts, from one floor to two floors, from two floors to wooden roofs, from food to clothing and decoration, the goods are dazzling and strange, mixed with more than half of the small businessmen who are mainly local specialties for foreign tourists. At first glance, there are more than 100 people with brown and black skin tones, and you wonder how these tourists found such a poor place. They go from east to west, and they belong to a rare group that is very happy and energetic after spending money.

"Han Shuiqing, there are so many people here, it's impossible for the car to pass here." If so, then there are hundreds of eyewitnesses.

"Who's to say it isn't?" Shui Qing was dizzying at the busy scene in front of her, "It's all here, let's ask." There are really no clues, buy some handicrafts, it is cheaper than the authentic Victoria Harbour. ”

"What the hell are you here for?" Xu Ran patted his head, looked at the sky, and couldn't stand it.

"Separate and meet in front of the car in an hour." Shui Qing only laughed without refutation, and after speaking, without waiting for Xu Ran to object, he flashed into the crowd.

Xu Ran had no choice but to do what she said.

Twenty minutes later, Shui Qing didn't ask for any useful information in her English. She asked a dozen shopkeepers and vendors, as well as some people who lived in the area, but because they didn't know much English, none of them saw a black Toyota passing by. By the time she arrived at the bazaar, she thought the chances of a car coming in were zero. So, she decided to put it another way.

This time I walked into a grocery store, and unlike other stores that sold crude handicrafts, it did supply groceries. Shui Qing didn't ask people directly, looked at the shelves first, and wanted to take a bottle of drink casually, but unexpectedly found that there was still Chinese hot sauce old wine, and even Master Kong's instant noodles. Supporting domestic products, she doesn't like spicy or soju, and instant noodles may come in handy. After taking two packets, she went to the counter to settle the accounts.

The boss is a middle-aged man with yellow skin, black hair and black eyes, and when Shui Qing came in just now, he was concentrating on the account book, and he didn't pay attention, and when he heard her say to settle the bill, he looked up and saw that the other party had the same appearance characteristics as him.

"Chinese?" He has sharp eyes and speaks Mandarin.

"Hello." Shui Qing smiled and nodded, "How much, please?" ”

"We are all Chinese, give you an eighty-fifty discount, two dollars a pack." The boss has a kind face and is quite clear.

Shui Qing has a request for people, this price can't be taken into account, and he took out ten dollars from his wallet. Suddenly I smelled a choking smell of smoke, and when I looked sideways, I saw a person sitting on a chair by the wall smoking, which seemed to be self-contained, very fierce and spicy.

"Boss, I'll ask you about something. Last Wednesday or Thursday, did you see a Toyota black seven-seater drive by? "Ask the old questions first.

The boss thought about it, shook his head and said no.

"Then think about it, have you ever seen a group of people, about seven yankuai together, four or five of them need someone to support them, or walk in a ten-twisted posture?" She expanded her conjecture, "Or, did you find that the goods were shipped in sacks, probably four or five bags?" ”

Sure enough, the boss looked at her when she was nervous, and said very dryly, "Miss, do you pay or not?" ”

Shui Qing had to give him the money, and he was struggling with the change there, complaining that the ticket was too big, and he was really making trouble for him.

How big is a $10 ticket? Instant noodles are sold for $2 a pack, and he won't be able to find change. She originally wanted to forget it, but the appearance of his compatriots and philistines was unpleasant, so she was determined to get back the six dollars.

At this time, feeling uneasy to be watched, she looked over, but only the man who was smoking was muffled and his head bowed. Because there was no light in the corner, I couldn't see the person's appearance clearly, and it was vaguely a thin man of medium stature.

Taking the change under the disgruntled gaze of the boss, Shui Qing walked out. She despises this kind of friend who doesn't make money, and who doesn't cheat her fellow countryman's money. The Chinese, if they can be as united as the Jews, the whole earth will be taken.

Shui Qing originally walked along the main road of the market, but because of a sudden feeling in his heart, he accidentally took a small fork in the road and went around an alley.

There were no people in the alleys, lifeless mud houses, few decent dwellings, and you could hear the noise of the market next door, a hollow that was very close but far away. It's narrow and deep, but fortunately, the midday sun is overhead, and there is still plenty of light. But it's not hard to imagine how dark the mornings and afternoons can be.

Shui Qing thought about going back, and when she turned around, she seemed to have kicked something under her feet.

It was a white cloth the size of a half-palm, sticking to the dirty red clay.

Next to the white cloth piece, there are two very small holes, if not square, but like rat holes.

Stooping down to pick up the piece of cloth and holding it in her hand, before she could look closely, she suddenly wanted to take a look into the hole, but she had no idea why.

The heart, knock, knock, pounded...
