Although Qian Jindou has been cracked down on, he is currently a free agent.
According to the information, he owns four properties in Mafang City. The water and electricity meters of two of them have not been running for a long time, so he probably does not live there.
The water and electricity usage in the other two units are relatively normal. I don’t know whether he lives there himself or rents them out.
Yuan Jie had no other choice but to go and block the way.
Her family was worried about Yuan Jie traveling alone, so they asked her second sister Yuan Fang's youngest son Zhang Lin to accompany her.
Speaking of Zhang Lin, he was only three years old when Yuan Jie rolled down the stairs and became unconscious, three years younger than Sun Xiaohao.
Currently, Zhang Lin is studying for a master's degree at Peking University. During the summer vacation, he is traveling around. In his own words: We cannot waste our beautiful youth.
In the family group, when the elders mentioned that they were worried that Yuan Jie would go to find someone on her own and something might happen, Zhang Lin volunteered to take on the task.
"Dear family members, please rest assured that the mission will be completed successfully!" Zhang Lin promised.
Yuan Fang and other elders repeatedly told Zhang Lin: "Don't panic when encountering problems. Discuss with your aunt and listen to your aunt's arrangements. Don't be reckless!"
Zhang Lin readily agreed. Compared to his naive and trusting older brother, Zhang Sen, Zhang Lin was more quirky and thoughtful. Despite being the youngest in the Yuan family, he was very steady and mature, so the elders felt more at ease with him accompanying them.
The matter was settled. Zhang Lin quickly booked the fastest flight and flew from Yu City to Mafang City. Ten hours later, Zhang Lin appeared at the hotel where Yuan Jie was staying.
When Zhang Lin saw Yuan Jie, he asked, "Aunt, what's the situation now?"
Yuan Jie said, "I can't get through to any of the other party's family members' phone numbers. Now, that Qian Jindou has two houses with normal water and electricity. I want to start with those two houses. I can only use the stupid method of squatting. The police station here only gave some information and didn't care about finding the person!"
Zhang Lin looked at his watch and said, "It's eight o'clock in the evening. Normally, most people would be home at this time. How about we go over there and try our luck?"
Yuan Jie was a little worried that Zhang Lin might be exhausted from all the traveling, so she asked, "You just got off the plane, do you want to rest for a while? Go eat something first, and we'll talk later! There's no rush. Only after you've eaten will you have the strength to deal with those people!"
Zhang Lin heard his aunt's concern for him and jumped twice on the spot: "It's okay, Auntie, look at me, I'm young and strong, I can run a marathon right now!"
This sentence made Yuan Jie finally relax her brows and smile: "This child, with such a chatterbox, I don't know who he takes after! Let's go, go get something to eat with Auntie first, it won't take much time."
"Okay, auntie, I've been missing my uncle's specialty dishes lately. I'll have to show him off again later!"
"Okay, okay, okay, order whatever you want. Your uncle is eager for you to come and support him every day!"
As they were talking, they went to the hotel buffet restaurant, ate something quick, and then set off for one of Qian Jindou's residences.
Unfortunately, the lights in the house were off and there was no sound inside. The family members must not have returned yet or moved somewhere else.
Yuan Jie and Zhang Lin then took a taxi to their next residence without stopping.
Before ringing the doorbell, Zhang Lin set his mobile phone to recording mode, which is called "being prepared for any eventuality."
The person who opened the door was a young girl, and a male voice was heard behind her. Judging from the voice, the man seemed to be young.
The girl looked at the two strangers in front of her and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Yuan Jie politely said, "Excuse me, is this Qian Jindou's family?"
The girl shook her head in confusion: "No, you've come to the wrong place, haven't you?"
The girl was about to close the door, but Zhang Lin was quick to hold the door with his hand and prevent it from closing.
This action scared the girl: "What do you want to do? Husband~husband~"
The girl kept calling for help.
Yuan Jie quickly explained: "Miss, don't misunderstand us, we have no ill intentions. We are looking for someone named Qian Jindou. The owner of the house we found is Qian Jindou!"
The young man in the room heard the woman's screams and rushed out of the room. When he heard Yuan Jie's explanation, he felt relieved.
"Are you looking for Qian Jindou? He is our landlord, but we haven't seen him for a while. Now his son collects the rent." The man responded.
Zhang Lin asked, "When do they collect the rent? Is it in cash or by bank transfer? Can you give us their contact information? We have something very important to ask Qian Jindou!"
The young couple refused, "That's definitely not possible. The landlord specifically insisted that their contact information not be leaked, otherwise he would not rent the house to us."
Zhang Lin then asked, "How long have you lived here? How much is the rent?"
The young man replied, "We started renting this house last year, for 1,200 yuan a month. Before, the landlord, Qian Jindou, always came to collect the rent. Two months ago, he said that from now on, we should transfer the rent to his son on WeChat. I haven't seen him since."
Zhang Lin continued to negotiate with the young man: "How about this? Give us Qian Jindou and his son's phone numbers, WeChat accounts, and other contact information, and we'll give you one month's rent in reimbursement. We definitely won't say they got their information from you."
The man hesitated: "Well~"
The young woman nudged the man from behind with her arm, then said to Zhang Lin and Yuan Jie, "Three thousand yuan, and we'll give you the information. If you think it's okay, it's a deal. If not, forget it!"
Hearing the other party's concession, Zhang Lin wanted to use his eloquence to bargain, but Yuan Jie didn't give him the chance and immediately agreed, "No problem, deal!"
Zhang Lin: Who can understand the hard life of a poor student? o(╯□╰)o
Afterwards, Yuan Jie happily transferred the money to the other party and successfully obtained the contact information of Qian Jindou and his son. This Qian Jindou's phone number was different from the one obtained from the police station before.
This time, Yuan Jie learned her lesson and no longer used her own mobile phone to dial the phone number, but asked Zhang Lin to dial the number.
The call was connected, and an impatient male voice came from the receiver: "Who is it?"
At the same time, there was a childish voice: "Dad, don't answer the phone, hurry up and order me a takeaway pizza, I'm starving."
When Yuan Jie and Zhang Lin heard this childish voice, they had a bad feeling in their hearts.
According to the information, Qian Jindou’s three children are already adults. How could such a young child suddenly appear and call him dad?
But I have to ask and find out clearly whether the person on the other end of the phone is Qian Jindou himself.
