"Is this reliable?"

"Of course it's reliable, look at his tonnage, it's definitely okay!"

Under the barbed wire wall, the Taoist priest held two grilled fish in his hand and said lazily to Sima Bei next to him, "You played seesaw when you were a child, right?" That's where my inspiration came from, as long as the heavy one suddenly jumps up, the lighter one at the other end will fly...... It's just that you should pay attention to your posture when flying, and try not to land face-to-face, which is easy to have plastic surgery! ”

Sima Bei looked at the Taoist priest's flat face, nodded and said, "It's really not good to be peaceful, but there is grass on the other side of the wall, so it shouldn't be a big problem......

While the two were talking, Ren Cai had already stood at the end of the improvised simple seesaw, looking at the priest ten meters away with anxiety, and his right hand trembled with an OK gesture.

The priest immediately understood, clenched his hands into fists, spat lightly twice, and then twisted his ass and ran up with small steps, and as he approached the other end of the seesaw, he suddenly rose up and fell down heavily.

Sou! Ren Cai was immediately catapulted, and he crossed the barbed wire wall with surprise and joy, and before the smile on his face could fully bloom, he quickly froze, and fell upside down in the grass, fainting without even letting out a wail.

Seeing this, Chen Yang, who was behind Ren Cai, immediately bared his teeth with pain on his face, squirmed and refused to step forward, and stammered, "Wait a minute, don't worry, wait for me to adjust my posture......"

Next to him, Zhao Gang flew up and kicked at the wound of Chen Yang's buttocks, and said angrily, "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, mothers-in-law are braver than you!" Get out of here, I'm still waiting! ”

Chen Yang suddenly felt a sharp pain in his buttocks, and he jumped up immediately in pain, and just happened to land on the seesaw.

Seeing this, the priest, who had already retreated ten meters away, quickly took another small step and jumped onto the other end of the seesaw.

Sou! Chen Yang also flew out and successfully crossed the barbed wire wall, but the difference with Ren Cai was that he landed on his butt.

A continuous groaning sound sounded in the grass.

Zhao Gang glared at Chen Yang viciously, "Be quiet, are you eager to recruit all the people from the Good People Village!" ”

Chen Yang was shocked when he heard this, and immediately covered his mouth and howled in pain.

Zhao Gang strode onto the seesaw, nodded expressionlessly to the priest who had returned to his place, and signaled that he could start.

The priest took a deep breath, and once again rushed to the seesaw with small steps, leaping up, because of the experience of the previous two times, this time the priest's face showed no apprehension, and he did not hesitate when he jumped on the seesaw, and even had a confident smile on the corner of his mouth.

However, what he didn't expect was that this time it was himself who flew up.

Since the end of his body was a little far away from the barbed wire wall, the front half of his body had just crossed the barbed wire wall when the whole person began to fall, and the wide black monk's robe hooked to the spikes of the barbed wire wall.

Seeing that he was about to be pulled back and hit the barbed wire, the priest hurriedly unbuttoned the monk's robe, but he was still half a step too late, and when he untied the monk's robe, his face was already on the barbed wire wall.

Creak.

A burning stench slowly wafted through the air.

Zhao Gang looked at the priest who had fallen with a black face, innocently raised the hammer in his hand and said, "It's not bad for me, it's this hammer that adds a little weight, and the data I reported earlier is absolutely correct!" ”

Sima Bei's face twitched, walked over slowly, and pointed to the other end of the seesaw, and said without a good air, "You stand over there, you don't need to run, just stand firm." ”

Zhao Gang pursed his mouth, walked to the end of the seesaw that the priest had jumped before, stood firmly with the hammer in his hand, and raised his head, "Come on, whatever posture you use, it must be more reliable than that magic stick!" ”

Sima Bei rolled his eyes, took two steps back, raised his feet, and quickly jumped up, a backflip, and landed steadily on the grass of the Good People Village.

The Taoist priest had finished eating a grilled fish at this time, and when he saw this scene, he immediately threw the remaining grilled fish at Sima Bei, gave a thumbs up and praised, "Good work, be rewarded!" ”

Sima Bei stretched out his right hand and accurately caught the grilled fish, but he didn't bite it with his lower mouth, and squinted his eyes and said, "The gentleman is not subject to the food that comes from the mouth, not to mention that this fish is also stained with your saliva!" ”

The Taoist priest sighed twice, "there are wind bones", and then without waiting for Zhao Gang to react, he quickly jumped on the seesaw and flew over the barbed wire wall.

Zhao Gang looked at the Taoist priest who was sliding down from the tree with a golden star, sneered, looked around, suddenly thought of something, and immediately wrapped his hand around Sima Bei, who was leaving leisurely with the grilled fish, and shouted loudly, "Hey! Don't go, I haven't been here yet! ”

Sima Bei didn't stop, waved his hand with his back to Zhao Gang and said, "You go find someone else, it usually takes five people to play a group, and our side is already full!" ”

Zhao Gangden was furious, holding a hammer and scolding, he was too excited for a while, he actually picked up the hammer and smashed it against the barbed wire wall, completely forgetting that his hammer and even the handle were made of steel, and the result was naturally not very good......

Sima Bei heard a slight squeak behind him, shook his head and sighed, glanced at the other four people who had not woken up yet, touched his belly, walked to a stream, cleaned the grilled fish in his hands, and then went into a dense forest, found a tall tree with lush leaves, sat down slowly, and while biting the grilled fish, he took out a shorthand book and a few photos from his pocket.

In the depths of the dense forest, a subtle rustling sound was soon heard.

It was the sound of the breeze blowing, and it was also the sound of Sima Bei writing hard in a shorthand book.

Sima Bei's face under the shade of the forest was calm, completely different from the image of Hang'er Langdang before, and he was like two people.

The pencil with the length of the fingernail sketches out all the roads that have been traveled these days.

In the blink of an eye, he built a model of the island, and then quickly perfected the various buildings of the Bad Guy Village according to the road map in his shorthand book.

Immediately afterwards, Sima Bei looked at the sunset on the horizon, and began to carefully observe the shadow of a small tree on the ground in front of him, and constantly calculated the longitude and latitude of the small tree in his shorthand book through the inferred altitude angle of the sun.

30 degrees north latitude, 104 degrees east longitude.

Sima Bei looked at the calculation results in the notebook and smashed his mouth, "It's still in the country, not far from D City, about 300 kilometers...... Be cautious and do the math again tomorrow. ”

After saying this, Sima Bei picked up those photos again, stared at the two photos of the little girl in a green dress, and sighed lightly, "Zhang Xiaoman, do you think I don't know that you asked me to take this job to find your eldest daughter?" Speaking of which, this girl has also called me uncle for a few days, even if you don't calculate like this, I will help......"

Sighing, Sima Bei put down the two photos of the little girl and picked up another photo of the pink short-sleeved girl, and he couldn't help but think of the scene in the Yiming Detective Agency that night.

One night a week ago, it was getting darker than usual and drizzling.

Sima Bei sat by the window of Yiming Society, soaked in a bowl of sauerkraut instant noodles with a strong taste, looked out the window boredly, and observed the pedestrians hurrying in the rain, so as to exercise his observation and prediction ability.

People only do these boring things when they are extremely bored, just like Zhang Xiaoman likes to count how many drops of a bottle of potion there are when he is bored during his hospitalization, and Sima Bei likes to observe the expressions and movements of pedestrians.

Usually he is bored for only three minutes, because it only takes three minutes for a bowl of instant noodles to be soaked.

Therefore, Sima Bei withdrew his gaze after three minutes, and just as he opened the instant noodle bowl and was about to take a few puffs, a middle-aged couple with nervous expressions walked into the Yiming Detective Agency.

Sima Bei saw at a glance that the couple's life must be very embarrassing, so he was ready to refuse as tactfully as possible no matter what case the other party had to entrust.

It's not that he doesn't have sympathy, it's that he doesn't have time to waste on unprofitable businesses now, and there are three days before the deadline to repay the mortgage, and he only has money in his pocket to buy a few bowls of instant noodles.

Thinking of this, Sima Bei, who picked up two noodles and fed them into his mouth and chewed them, sighed lightly, only to feel that today's old altar foot sauerkraut instant noodles were particularly sour.

The expression on the couple's face was also very sour, the middle-aged man with a tired face shrunk his neck and tightened the blue overalls that had been washed white on his body, while his wife watched Sima Bei suck bubble noodles with blank eyes.

The middle-aged man seemed to notice his wife's rudeness, coughed heavily, but almost coughed out the lobes of his lungs.

The wife woke up immediately, hurriedly patted the middle-aged man's back, and whispered some caring words.

The middle-aged man waved his hand, walked to Sima Bei's desk and stood still, hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Excuse me...... Is this a Hit-Ming detective agency? ”

Sima Bei frowned, lazily pointed to the place where the signboard was hung at the door, and then pointed to a few lines of words on the man's overalls that had been blurred, "The employees of Tieyang Group are at least college graduates, so they shouldn't be unfamiliar with the words on the signboard at the door." ”

The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, glanced at his wife, suddenly knelt down, and said with a sad face, "You should be Mr. Sima...... Please help us! ”

Sima Bei's brows furrowed a little deeper, put down the instant noodles in his hand heavily, and said coldly, "I don't like others to kneel on me, I'm not the emperor...... Something to talk about! ”

The middle-aged man slowly stood up with the support of his wife, and said apologetically, "We don't like kneeling either, but Professor Zhang told us that if we don't kneel, we won't even have a chance to speak......

When Sima Bei heard Professor Zhang's three words, he suddenly burst into a daze, and said with a pout, "You were introduced by Zhang Xiaoman?" ”

The middle-aged man unzipped his workcoat, took out a business card with the Tokugawa University logo from his arms, and cautiously replied, "We don't know if that person is the professor on the business card, but there is nothing to deceive about the situation like we have now." ”

Sima Bei took the business card, flipped to the front and took a closer look, stared at the password with a long string of letters and numbers under Zhang Xiaoman's three words, nodded and said, "He's right...... The average university professor is too lazy to make business cards, and even more lazy to make codes on business cards, only he is so boring...... Listening to your tone just now, even the scammers are not interested in you, probably they have been cheated out of a lot of money in finding the whereabouts of their missing daughter, right? ”

The middle-aged man was startled for a moment, his eyes widened and asked, "How do you know that our daughter is missing?" ”

Sima Bei pointed to the keychain hanging from the middle-aged man's waist, and said lightly, "I don't think any big man will use the keychain of Sailor Moon......" and pointed to the coat on the middle-aged man's wife, and added, "The dress on your wife's body doesn't fit well, and it's still a middle school uniform, although the name of the school can't be seen on it, but its style is ......the kind of school uniform of Donghu No. 1 Middle School."

The middle-aged man's originally dim eyes suddenly lit up, and he glanced at his wife beside him, and said in a deep voice, "Take it out, I believe that this Mr. Sima will definitely help us find our daughter!" ”

The wife bit her lip, immediately unzipped the school uniform, took out an object about the size of two bricks wrapped in kraft paper from under the shabby sweater, and gently placed it on Sima Bei's table, and said with red eyes, "This is the last money we have left after selling the house!" Please help us get it back! ”

The middle-aged man took out a wallet with cracked skin from his pocket, took out a photo of a pink short-sleeved girl, bowed solemnly and handed it to Sima Bei, and said sincerely, "Excuse me!" ”

Disappearances are the most troublesome, and disappearances that are old are even more troublesome, because all the places you might find have already been searched, and the rest are naturally impossible places to find.

But Sima Bei finally took over the case, perhaps because the middle-aged man's entrustment was enough to pay his mortgage for a year, or because the couple was introduced by Zhang Xiaoman, or maybe the middle-aged man's wife also likes to eat sauerkraut instant noodles at the foot of the old altar......

Soon, he tracked down an important clue, the couple's missing daughter had seen a man for the last time, and Zhang Xiaoman's eldest daughter had also been in contact with that man before she disappeared.

The man's name was Zhang Tao, and the last place he appeared was the Minjiang Bridge.
