It was already getting dark. Wu Xiaoliu wasn't familiar with the area, so he didn't dare to walk too fast. The purchasing station had everything, and who knew if he might knock over or step on something and make a noise.
As he was walking carefully, he suddenly heard a rustling sound behind him. He turned around and saw that a dog had spotted him and was trotting towards him.
Startled, Wu Xiaoliu straightened up and tried to jump over the wall, but the dog didn't bark when it ran up to him. Instead, it kept wagging its tail at him.
This dog is only about half the size of the three dogs at Li Chu's house, and it looks very thin.
However, Wu Xiaoliu felt that this was normal. Li Chu's three dogs were too extraordinary. They were as tall as adults when they stood up, and they ate very well every day. They were very strong.
He even tried it out at home. He could handle two bare-handed, but he would be bitten half to death if he tried to deal with three at the same time.
Especially Xiao Hei, if it pounces suddenly, it can knock him down directly.
Looking at the dog wagging its tail at him, Wu Xiaoliu hesitated for a moment. Instead of rushing to climb over the wall, he took two steps closer to the dog and slowly reached out to stroke its head.
The dog seemed to really like Wu Xiaoliu, as it immediately lay down on the ground and showed its belly.
Wu Xiaoliu was finally relieved. He knew the dog wouldn't attack him and probably wouldn't bark.
After patting it a few more times, Wu Xiaoliu put his index finger to his lips in a shushing gesture, then turned around and slowly walked towards the row of houses behind. The dog, panting, obediently followed behind him.
The short distance of a few dozen meters took Wu Xiaoliu more than ten minutes to reach.
There was no other way; there were too many things on the ground, and he could easily step on something. He had to be extremely careful to avoid making any noise.
The door to the house was open, and you could faintly hear voices coming from inside.
Wu Xiaoliu realized he couldn't stay in front of the houses, so he moved to the back of the row of houses.
The dog didn't follow him to the back; instead, it lay down at the door of the house with the lights on. It seemed that the dog belonged to the bearded man and was meant to guard the house. But for some reason, it didn't bark at the stranger today.
Wu Xiaoliu reached the back window of the house with the lights on. The house was bright inside but dark outside, so as long as he didn't make any noise, the people inside wouldn't be able to see him easily.
There were only two people in the room: one was the salesman who had come with Wu Xiaoliu, and the other was the bearded man.
The two people were sitting at a small table eating, but they weren't drinking or smoking.
The two chatted casually while eating, talking about everyday matters. Just as Wu Xiaoliu was getting a little impatient, the man from the supply and marketing cooperative raised his hand to look at his watch.
fantuantanshu.
"Old Fan, didn't you say it would be 7:30 tonight? Why hasn't Jiang Cheng arrived yet?"
Upon hearing Jiang Cheng mentioned, Wu Xiaoliu immediately perked up. It seemed that Jiang Cheng was in cahoots with them, so why were they secretly following him?
The bearded man, known as Lao Fan, took a bite of food unhurriedly, swallowed it, and then said, "Yesterday morning, after Jiang Cheng went to his workplace, he didn't come out until after nine o'clock at night. This morning, I rushed to his house to check on him. It seems he didn't go home at all last night. I guess his workplace has some new task and he's too busy to come over."
After hearing what the bearded man said, the man from the supply and marketing cooperative put down his chopsticks: "You mean he hasn't come out of the office since he went in yesterday morning?"
The bearded man nodded: "Yes."
"What if..." the man from the supply and marketing cooperative frowned and thought for a long time before saying, "What if he got arrested?"
The bearded man put down his chopsticks: "Why was he arrested?"
"That incident in the South, you know."
"We did that!"
Hearing this, Wu Xiaoliu outside the window became even more focused. The matter in the south that these two people mentioned should be the notice for assistance in the investigation that Director Liu mentioned yesterday morning. He never expected that it was these two who did that thing.
The man from the supply and marketing cooperative shook his head and said, "We know that you and I did that, but the police don't. After the police investigation, they will find that Jiang Cheng happened to go back at that time, and he has a grudge against that man. The police will definitely suspect him."
The bearded man shook his head: "We deliberately left two traces at the scene, so the police shouldn't suspect him. Besides, he wasn't masked, and the other person wasn't dead. As soon as he wakes up, the police will know it's not Jiang Cheng."
"That bastard, he wants money and revenge from us. If he still can't find the person we're looking for this time, I'll make him wish he were dead," the salesman said through gritted teeth.
"Calm down. We finally found someone who can help us find that couple and their child. If you keep torturing him, how are we supposed to find them in the future?"
"Damn it, I'm just so angry. We haven't even done anything yet, and we've already become his henchmen."
"We're asking for their help, after all. Beijing is such a big city, and we've been asking around for years without any results. How could they hide the child so well?" The bearded man scratched his head in frustration.
"Old Fan, do you think Jiang Cheng might be trying to fool us? Does he even know the person we're looking for?"
“We’ve seen Jiang Cheng’s information. His family was indeed in Nanniwan before they went south, so it’s very likely that they know the person we’re looking for. Besides, he knows the names of that couple, doesn’t he?”
"Sigh," the man from the supply and marketing cooperative sighed and said, "It's been more than ten years, and we still can't find anyone. The higher-ups are very dissatisfied."
The bearded man patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, all we can do now is wait patiently. After all, Jiang Cheng is our only option."
The conversation between the two left Wu Xiaoliu speechless; it was undoubtedly a spy organization.
These two people actually found someone through Jiang Cheng. Now it seems that the person they are looking for is Li Chu. As for why they are looking for him, it is still unclear. However, judging from their words, they have been looking for him for more than ten years.
Moreover, it seems that Jiang Cheng has not yet told them that the person they are looking for is Li Chu.
As for why Jiang Cheng had someone follow Li Chu, it was probably to find out his exact address before reporting it.
No matter how Wu Xiaoliu thought about it, he felt something was off.
If the person they are looking for is indeed Li Chu, then why doesn't Jiang Cheng just tell these two people what Li Chu's workplace is?
But if the person Jiang Cheng was looking for wasn't Li Chu, then why did he have someone follow Li Chu?
