Qi Nan called back first.
"Mr. Lin, Zhong Qinqin's information is mostly correct. The shop owner said the two left together around 8:10. Ms. Zhang Guilian was carrying several bags of what looked like clothes. They then left and went out the other end of the street."
"According to the owner of the tobacco shop at the end of the street, Zhong Qinqin and Ms. Zhang Guilian got into a taxi together. We are currently searching for that taxi based on the owner's description. If we can contact the driver, we'll know where Ms. Zhang Guilian went after leaving the hotel." (According to research, taxis existed at the time; they appeared in the second half of 1979.)
Lin Daqing nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, thank you, thank you for bothering you."
"fine."
Qi Nan uttered two words and hung up the phone in a hurry.
Lin Qingqing heard Lin Daqing's voice and walked out of my room.
"What's going on now?"
Lin Daqing pursed his lips.
"Zhong Qinqin lied about one thing. She and your third sister-in-law didn't separate at the intersection. They got into the same taxi."
Lin Qingqing smiled.
"That's interesting. This Zhong Qinqin deliberately concealed the whereabouts of the Third Sister-in-law."
"Either Third Sister-in-law requested it, or she has a share in it."
Lin Daqing is not optimistic about either possibility.
This shows that Zhang Guilian’s disappearance was man-made.
"Qi Nan and the others are already looking for that taxi. We should have news soon."
Lin Qingqing sat down calmly.
"Third brother, what do you think is the reason why Third Sister-in-law did this?"
Lin Daqing turned around and looked at Lin Qingqing, who looked as if he was not smiling.
His face darkened.
After a pause, he said, "I don't want to go back to Kyoto with you."
So she simply disappeared for a night, and then came out after her younger sister left.
Both sons are at home, why doesn't she want to go back?
Don't you want children?
He thinks about his two sons every day.
I'm busy as hell just to stabilize my business so that I can have time to travel between the two places next year and see my child once every two months.
Lin Qingqing smiled.
"Then wait for news. If this matter is related to Zhong Qinqin, why not have some fun with her?"
"So, there's no need to worry about Third Sister-in-law's safety."
She simply took out a chess set and asked Lin Daqing to play chess with her.
When Lin Daqing looked at the chessboard, he thought of his family being too poor to buy one. His eldest brother steamed and dried banyan leaves and strung them together to make a chessboard. He also carved a chess set out of wood. The six brothers and his youngest sister often sat under the tree in the yard and took turns playing chess.
That is the only "toy" in my long memory.
Now that life is better, why can't we work together to live a better life?
After a while, Liu Daxiu came out.
I heard that Zhang Guilian might not want to come back, so she just sat aside and watched Lin Qingqing and Lin Daqing play chess, and waited for news.
Half an hour later.
The phone rang again.
Lin Daqing picked up the phone, heard it was Qi Nan's voice, and pressed the hands-free button.
"We contacted the taxi company and asked them to look for the taxi driver based on Ms. Zhang Guilian's appearance. The taxi company reported that Ms. Zhang Guilian and Zhong Qinqin got off the taxi at Tianfu Residential Complex, and when the driver turned around, he saw them entering the complex together."
Lin Qingqing asked Lin Daqing: "Third brother, are there any acquaintances there?"
Lin Daqing shook his head.
He knew about Tianfu, but he had never heard of anyone living there.
Qi Nan continued, "We're now at the Tianfu Residential Community guardhouse. According to the officer on duty, Zhong Qinqin has a house here and usually comes here twice a month. I told the guard about the situation, and he gave me the house number. Chen Jie just went to check it out, and Ms. Zhang Guilian is sleeping inside."
Lin Daqing: “…”
Liu Daxiu: “…”
Lin Qingqing frowned and said, "We will call the police later and tell them all the information Zhong Qinqin said. The police will definitely ask Zhong Qinqin to verify it. You ask Chen Jie to secretly guide them to find the Tianfu community. You come back now."
After saying that, he turned to look at Lin Daqing and asked, "Third brother, do you have anything else to say?"
Lin Daqing shook his head in frustration.
Zhang Guilian actually disappeared because she didn't want to go back to Kyoto.
Doesn't she know how worried I am when she doesn't come back for a night like this?
The whole family was restless most of the night.
