The next step, of course, was to let Ergou contact Huotou. We didn't have much time, and we had to finish everything as soon as possible. The next day, Ergou called Huotou as Yulei. Huotou called back, and Ergou just said "Hello" and Huotou hung up the phone. He could tell that the voice was not Yulei's. Ergou called back again, and a woman's voice came from the other end: "Who are you looking for?" Ergou said, "I'm looking for Brother Huotou." The woman said, "There is no Brother Huotou here. This is a public phone, and we don't have the person you are talking about."
In desperation, Ergou had to call Yulei again, and this time he left a message: I am Yulei's brother, he has something urgent to tell me. After a while, the phone rang again, Ergou picked up, and this time a muffled child's voice came: "Who are you?" Ergou didn't believe it was Huotou, but he still said seriously: "My name is Ergou, I am Yulei's brother."
The child's voice continued to ring: "Oh, I've heard of you, what do you want from me?"
Ergou was even more surprised: "Are you Brother Huotou?"
"Yes, I am." The childish voice continued. He sounded no more than four or five years old. Could he be Torpedo Brother's superior, Huotou?
Ergou felt incredible and looked up at me and Ye Zhan next to him. I winked at him and told him to say what he wanted to say. Ergou then said, "Brother Yulei was caught accidentally, and he asked me to give you a handwritten letter."
The childish voice asked, "What's going on?"
Ergou said, "It's pretty unlucky. Brother Yu Lei was driving to deliver something for me, and by chance he ran into a traffic police officer checking his car and then he was taken to the Public Security Bureau. I have some connections at the Public Security Bureau, so I met Brother Yu Lei. He wrote a letter and asked me to give it to you."
The childish voice said, "Read it to me."
Ergou said: "Brother Torpedo didn't let me see it, he wanted me to give it to you personally."
The other party was silent for a while, then said, "Okay, tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock, Rizhao Square in the south of the city, what are you wearing?"
Ergou told the truth, but Huotou did not say what clothes he would wear.
After hanging up the phone, Ergou asked curiously, "Why is it a child?"
Ye Zhan said: "It should be that a voice changer was used. These things are sold everywhere now, so it's not uncommon."
After discussing for a while, we decided that Huotou was more cautious than Yulei. He asked Ergou to come to the square tomorrow, but there are so many people in the square, how can the two recognize each other? It seems that Huotou wants to see if Ergou has been followed by the police. Tomorrow morning, Ergou will be in the light and Huotou will be in the dark. Ye Zhan and I cannot follow them, even from a distance, otherwise Huotou will be alert. So, I explained to Ergou for a while, and the key points are two: 1. Do whatever Huotou asks you to do. 2. Don't talk too much, because too much talk will lead to mistakes. In addition, a good point is that Huotou has heard of Ergou, and Ergou's chances of being promoted to the third line have greatly increased.
At 8 o'clock the next morning, Ergou arrived at Xiangyang Square as scheduled. Xiangyang Square is behind a group of residential buildings. At this time, there are many elderly people exercising, people selling balloons and toys, and children running around. Ergou walked around the square and did not find any suspicious people. The fountain that suddenly appeared also splashed him with water. The children next to him pointed at him and laughed.
Ergou sat on the bench and looked around nervously, feeling a little guilty. He thought of the child's voice and couldn't help but pay attention to the children running around. He thought funny, could Huotou really be a doll? Just as he was thinking this, a mushroom-headed girl walked towards him. The girl was only seven or eight years old, with a pair of extremely clear eyes, and she stood in front of Ergou in an instant.
Ergou became even more nervous and quickly stood up and said, "Brother Huotou!"
The girl, who was about seven or eight years old, was very short, so Ergou had to bend down slightly. The girl raised her head and handed a piece of paper to Ergou. Ergou took it with a puzzled look, and then tore the paper into pieces after reading it. When he raised his head again, the girl had disappeared.
He looked at Zuoyou and walked towards the middle-aged man selling balloons.
"Uncle, buy three balloons."
“Why did you buy three balloons?”
"My house is on fire. I need to buy three balloons to put out the fire."
It was a strange conversation, but the uncle handed three balloons to him. Ergou held the balloons and felt a small paper ball in his palm. He walked to a quiet place and opened the note. It read: 3pm, Men's Wear Department on the third floor of Sunshine Department Store.
Then, Ergou came back. Ye Zhan and I looked at each other after listening to him. This Huotou is really careful. It seems that he has already visited the scene and made another appointment only after confirming that Ergou is fine. At three o'clock in the afternoon, Ergou set out again and arrived at the men's clothing department on the third floor of Sunshine Department Store on time. But he waited and waited, but there was no sign of Huotou. The men's clothing department is very large. Ergou went back and forth twice. All the shoppers here are successful men. Ergou looked at everyone like Huotou. At half past three, there was still no sign of Huotou. Even so, Ergou had to continue waiting. After a while, he felt like peeing, so he went to the toilet. After coming out, he saw a man in a gray jacket washing his hands outside. Ergou didn't take it seriously and went to wash his hands as well. The man in the gray jacket whispered, "Where is Yulei's handwritten letter?"
Ergou looked to the side in surprise: "Are you Brother Huotou?"
The man in the gray jacket nodded. He was also wearing a baseball cap with the brim pulled down low, covering half of his face.
Ergou wiped his hands and handed the handwritten letter to Huotou. Huotou took the folded letter and did not open it on the spot, but put it in his pocket and left. For two whole days, there was no news from Huotou. But we were not in a hurry. We asserted that he would definitely contact Ergou. Losing a third line is no joke. How many fourth and fifth lines are waiting for supply?
