Chapter 135 Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet for Young Girls
Seeing her crouching down with her head in her hands, the newcomer chuckled and walked towards her with a rope in hand: "I didn't expect you, you stinking woman, to have some tricks up your sleeve..."
The next second, he suddenly looked terrified and sat down on the ground with a thud, staring in disbelief at his foot, which was pierced by a dagger and stuck in the ground.
"You...you...weren't you unconscious?"
Qin Suisui snatched the rope from his hand, weighed it in her hand, and said, "A Tibetan dzi bead rope? I didn't expect your little scrap yard to have such a good thing."
Legend has it that dzi bead ropes are used by high-ranking monks. The main material is yak spinal cord tendon, which can remain intact for thousands of years. Moreover, each dzi bead on the rope is extremely valuable.
Without hesitation, she put the dzi bead rope into her spatial storage, then found a new hemp rope at the junkyard and tied the old man up.
The old man, weakened by the muscle-relaxing drug she had given him, still struggled to move his emaciated body: "How is this possible? Shouldn't you be the one who fainted?! Who are you?"
Qin Suisui glanced at the teacup he had deliberately knocked over on the ground, rolled her eyes, picked up the wood-chopping knife he had dropped, and tapped his face with the blade:
"Playing with poison in front of your great-aunt? You old codger, you're still too green! Quickly tell us, where did you and your son hide Sister Yunyi?"
The old man stared wide-eyed at her, then at the man in black still lying face down on the ground, seemingly in disbelief and wanting to deny it.
Qin Suisui didn't have time to waste words with him. In fact, as soon as she entered the room, she smelled something was wrong with the tea in the old man's teacup. But she only smelled it for a short moment when she passed by, so she didn't think too much about it.
But the moment Qin Suisui ran out of the factory and saw the gate close, she immediately realized that the tea was actually a sleeping potion! She quickly realized that the old man might be in cahoots with the men in black!
As for the identity of the man in black, Qin Suisui flipped the person lying on the ground over. She had already ripped off the mask, and the face that was revealed was none other than Liu Zhiqiang, the educated youth wearing a wig!
Qin Suisui was also puzzled. She didn't know what bad luck the Guangmingding Brigade had encountered, as one or two of the educated youth they recruited were problematic.
The same thing happened with Zhang Zhiqing before, and then with Zhou Zecheng later, and now there's Liu Zhiqiang. I wonder if Mai Defu will be so angry when he finds out about this that he'll want to buy her some nitroglycerin pills.
As for how she discovered that Liu Zhiqiang and the old gatekeeper were father and son, that's even simpler.
Upon arriving at the scrap yard and seeing the old man for the first time, Qin Suisui felt that he looked somewhat similar to Liu Zhiqiang. However, there should be many people in this world who look alike, especially someone with a common face like Liu Zhiqiang, so she didn't think much of it.
Just now, when she pinned the old man's foot to the ground with a dagger, she discovered through his straw sandals that he actually had six toes!
Before this, on their way here, Qin Suisui had inadvertently caught a glimpse of Liu Zhiqiang's left foot, which had six toes!
Given their similar appearances, the high heritability of six fingers, and the series of events that occurred at the scrap yard, Qin Suisui could almost instantly conclude that the two were father and son!
This explains why, even though there were only three of them in the scrap yard, Su Yunyi and Liu Zhiqiang disappeared at the same time within just over ten minutes!
"Tell me quickly, where did you take Sister Yunyi?"
Qin Suisui made a shallow cut on his neck with her wood-chopping knife as a threat.
Unexpectedly, the old man wasn't afraid at all; instead, he burst into laughter, repeatedly muttering a string of strange words: "Hahahaha... Mid-Autumn Festival, Emperor's Festival, Maiden's Banquet, All Things Grow... All Things Grow..."
As he was reciting, a trace of blood suddenly appeared at the corner of his lips. Qin Suisui frowned. What kind of nonsense was he reciting? She raised her hand and sprinkled a handful of sleeping pills on him. The old man tried to bite his tongue to commit suicide, but he passed out halfway through.
Qin Suisui glanced at the dimly lit factory, then at the two people who had fainted in the yard. If nothing unexpected happened, there should be a secret room or passageway inside; the Japanese loved doing this kind of thing. Besides, the junkyard had a lot of stuff and was a breeding ground for filth, so a secret room wouldn't be too conspicuous.
Su Yunyi must have been smuggled into a secret room. Judging from what that old man just recited, something about "Mid-Autumn Festival, Emperor's Festival, and Maiden's Banquet," they might have captured more than one person. Maybe they're planning some kind of ritual? What a joke! What era are we living in? Are people still doing this kind of thing in the dark?
However, because of this statement, she concluded that Su Yunyi was probably out of immediate danger, since it was still daytime. But she still needed to rescue her as soon as possible.
Qin Suisui pulled the dagger out of the old man's foot, wiped the blood off his body, and went into the junkyard with the dagger in one hand and the poison in the other. She searched around inside, but found nothing but piles of junk.
It seems there really is a secret room, but fearing something might happen again, she dared not go any further to search.
He glanced at his watch; it was almost midnight. Pei Jiuyan should be arriving in town soon.
Her best course of action now is to find Pei Jiuyan, the police officers, or the military personnel to come and search for the person together.
But now that she's gone, what if those two people are taken away by their accomplices? Wouldn't she then have no proof?
Qin Suisui thought for a moment, then found the key to the front door in the keychain on the old man's waist, opened the door, and just then saw a boy of about ten years old carrying a schoolbag walk by. He must be a primary school student going home for lunch.
Qin Suisui hurriedly waved to him: "Young comrade, young comrade, come here quickly! Please help me!"
The little boy saw her and walked over curiously, even peeking inside: "Huh? Why is it a big sister today? Where's the old man from before?"
Fearing he might see something inappropriate for children, Qin Suisui quickly covered herself with her body, then handed him the note she had written beforehand, and at the same time took out two milk candies:
"Young man, could you please take this note to the post office? There's a guy there riding a bicycle with a bandage on his head. If you give him the note, I'll give you two candies when you come back, okay?"
