"How much are these buns?"
Mo Jingchun and Xu Fan had already come to the aunt selling buns and started asking her questions.
"All for one dollar."
The old lady had a happy smile on her face. She had already packed 3 or 4 bags of buns in white plastic bags, and then wrapped them together in a red plastic bag and handed them to the man wearing a black hat next to her.
As soon as Mo Jingchun reached the man's side, he couldn't help but curse inwardly. The man was not only wearing a hat, but also a mask, with only a pair of eyes showing, making it impossible to distinguish him.
Xu Fan, who was standing by, also noticed this. He approached the man as if nothing had happened, and then looked at him with pretended curiosity.
"Brother, isn't it stuffy wearing a mask in this weather?"
The man didn't expect that someone would take the initiative to communicate with him, and it was someone wearing a school uniform and looked like a student.
But he was very cautious. He knew that he was being watched closely and must not reveal any flaws, so he simply ignored Xu Fan's question, picked up his buns and was about to leave.
"you……"
Before Xu Fan could finish his words, he was interrupted by the lady selling buns nearby.
"How about it? You want some buns? I have all kinds of flavors."
The old lady was holding a white plastic bag in her hand and looking at the two of them expectantly.
"Thank you, Auntie, for filling two meat-filled boxes for me." Mo Jingchun nodded.
"No, why did you actually start eating?" Xu Fan was a little confused. "It's true that the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is. That person is about to leave."
"You don't know this, do you?" Mo Jingchun took the meat-filled bun the aunt handed him and took a bite. "I'm telling you, I did my homework, too."
Mo Jingchun took a bite of the bun. Perhaps he thought it tasted pretty good, so he turned to the aunt and shouted, "Auntie, give me two more dried tofu, two more seaweed buns, and two more meat buns. Eight yuan, right? I'll give them to you."
Xu Fan took the bun Mo Jingchun handed him and took a bite. "So you have an idea. How do you plan to do it?"
Xu Fan looked down at the buns. The meat filling inside was red with some chopped green onions. It tasted very good.
"Look at his clothes. There are a lot of rough marks on them, and he's covered in dust."
Mo Jingchun pulled Xu Fan away from the stall of the lady selling buns and walked in the direction the man had left.
"We can't confirm whether he is the wanted criminal yet, so we can only sneak over there first. I guess he must be in a nearby unfinished building or a construction site."
Mo Jingchun took out another tofu bun and took a bite. It was already 6 o'clock in Hangzhou. The street lights on the roadside began to light up, dusk gradually dissipated, and night was about to fall.
"Don't eat anymore." Xu Fan snatched all the buns from Mo Jingchun's hands. "These are your rewards to me."
Mo Jingchun shook his head disapprovingly. He took out his cell phone and opened the map, and sure enough, he found a remote unfinished building nearby.
"Once we confirm it, we will call the police and let them handle it." Mo Jingchun patted Xu Fan on the shoulder and took him towards the unfinished building.
"Okay, let's go."
The two teenagers were walking on the road, not afraid of what was about to happen, and were even a little excited. This might be a frivolous moment that everyone has.
The two of them turned a few more corners and finally stopped in an empty building next to a construction site.
This unfinished building was left behind two or three years ago, and it may be demolished along with the construction site next to it in two months.
Standing in front of this community of unfinished buildings, night falls on these unfinished buildings, casting shadows.
Judging from some of the buildings that are beginning to take shape outside, it seems that the style is going to be Western.
Of course, everything stopped as the unscrupulous developer absconded with the money. Only the hollow skeleton of the unfinished building remained. At night, when the wind blew in, a whistling sound could be heard, which sounded like the hatred voices of the cheated residents.
An ordinary person might be frightened when seeing this scene. However, Mo Jingchun and Xu Fan were not timid people, so naturally they did not feel anything at all.
Since there might be an accomplice of the robber living inside, the two men did not walk in brazenly, but were more cautious.
After entering the unfinished building, Mo Jingchun got an iron rod from somewhere to protect himself.
Since there are quite a few unfinished buildings here, and the two of them are not sure where the man is hiding, they have to check them one by one.
"No, that's too slow."
Mo Jingchun stood on the stairs of the unfinished building and stopped Xu Fan in front of him.
"How is it? Have you thought of a solution?" Xu Fan noticed Mo Jingchun's expression at this time, so he immediately asked him.
Mo Jingchun nodded and told Xu Fan his plan, "We don't have to go look for him, we can lure him out."
Xu Fan raised his eyebrows upon hearing this, a thoughtful look appearing on his handsome face. "What do you mean?"
"Just find a way to make some noise here." Mo Jingchun's face was filled with confidence. He said confidently, "If he really is hiding in the unfinished building, it can only mean one thing: the police are watching him nearby. This means he can't leave Hangzhou in the short term and can't find a suitable hiding place."
"And if there was a sudden noise at his hiding place, he would definitely become suspicious and come to investigate."
"But our mission is to identify him," Xu Fan interrupted. "What if he's still covering himself up so tightly that we can't see his face clearly?"
"If he's here, it means he's a wanted criminal." Mo Jingchun laughed and continued, "After all, why would a normal person live in an unfinished building for no reason? Even if someone really went there for no reason, there's no need to come here specifically to confirm the sound, after all..."
Mo Jingchun paused for a moment, then pointed at the wind whistling past him.
“There are sounds here all the time.”
"Of course!" Xu Fan looked at Mo Jingchun in admiration. "If he comes, it proves that he is a wanted criminal. You have a really good brain. No wonder you can do so well in exams even though you slack off every day. If I weren't your brother, I'd probably be jealous of you."
"Haha, that's all I'm saying. Whether it will succeed or not is another matter."
Mo Jingchun took a step forward, looked around, and felt that this place was good, so he swung the iron rod he had used for self-defense and hit the metal here hard.
“Ding-dang.”
The collision of metal made a very penetrating sound. After Mo Jingchun knocked hard for more than ten times, he felt that the time was almost right, so he immediately pulled Xu Fan forward and hid in the corner of the upper floor.
Now the two of them just need to wait here quietly to see if anyone will come. Once that person arrives, they will be able to confirm it.
