When Tang Xiaorou and Qin Xueqiong arrived in Yangcheng, it was already the evening of the next day. As soon as they got off the train, someone came to pick them up.
"Miss, little miss, this way."
Qin Xueqiong and Tang Xiaorou looked over when they heard this, but they didn't recognize the person in front of them, so Tang Xiaorou looked at Huo behind her and asked, "Is he one of yours?"
Huo 뀖 nodded and said, "Yes, he is Huo Er who was sent here by the old man to investigate."
Hearing this, Tang Xiaorou smiled and looked at Huo Er and said, "Hello, thank you for coming to pick us up." She knew that the people sent by Mr. Huo to investigate the matter had not returned yet, and they would meet with these people this time to communicate with them, but she didn't expect that they would come here specially to pick us up.
Huo Er smiled and said, "You're welcome, young lady. I just found out you were coming this morning. After I found out your train number, I came to pick you up in time." As he spoke, he greeted Huo and the others, and finally looked at Zhuang Yi and asked, "This must be Comrade Zhuang, hello."
"Hello."
Zhuang Yi also stepped forward to greet everyone, and finally the group went directly to the guesthouse.
"Miss, this guesthouse has a nice environment. You can stay here for the time being." Along the way, Huo Er discovered that Tang Xiaorou was the one in charge of the group, so he would talk to her directly if there was anything.
"good."
Tang Xiaorou smiled and nodded to Huo Erdian. She didn't ask any more questions. She invited everyone to have a meal together and then went back to sleep and rest.
Huo Er was a little surprised to see that Tang Xiaorou didn't ask anything, but he didn't say much. He took everyone to a restaurant near 깊, and after dinner, he sent Tang Xiaorou and the others back to the 깊 guesthouse.
After Tang Xiaorou and Qin Xueqiong returned to their room, Huo Er grabbed Huo Dong.
"Little Miss, didn't I send the news back before but couldn't find them? Why did the young lady and the little lady come to Yangcheng?" Originally, after their search failed again, they were going to pack up and return to the capital, but they didn't expect Tang Xiaorou and the others to come, so they stayed here.
"Young lady wants to come and see it in person."
Huo Er nodded when he heard this, "Okay, after seeing it for myself, I will really give up."
Hearing this, Huo glared at Huo Er and said, "Old Second, just tell me this. Don't mention it in front of the young lady or they will definitely feel uncomfortable."
Huo Er glanced at Huo Dong and said, "Do you think I'm a fool?"
"Just so you know."
In fact, Huo was not optimistic about this operation. A person who had been missing for more than 20 years had already died and could not be found. Even if a photo taken many years ago was found, it would be useless. "Anyway, we have to listen carefully to the arrangements made by the young lady and don't say anything else."
Huo Er waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I know."
On the other side, Tang Xiaorou and Qin Xueqiong returned to their room, tidied up briefly, and then lay down to rest.
Qin Xueqiong originally thought that she was very tired and would fall asleep as soon as she lay down, but she was not sleepy at all. Seeing that her daughter was not asleep yet, she could not help but ask in a low voice: "Xiao Rou, you said... have we found your uncle?"
Tang Xiaorou shook her head and said, "I can't guarantee this either. Anyway, we'll just look for it. If we can't find it, we'll go back first."
Qin Xueqiong was silent for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, let's do it anyway."
The next morning, Tang Xiaorou and Qin Xueqiong got up and took everyone to have breakfast. Then they talked about their plans, "Let's go to that photo studio first."
"good."
Huo Er was the first to nod and said, "I'll lead the way for you."
"Okay, then, it's settled."
Finally, Tang Xiaorou and Qin Xueqiong took Zhuang Yi and Huo Er to the photo studio. When they arrived, the owner recognized Huo Er directly and said, "Why are you here again? I've said before that I don't know the man in the photo. What's more, that was more than 20 years ago. How can I still remember?"
Hearing this, Huo Er smiled awkwardly and said, "Sorry for disturbing you, but it's not me who is looking for you today, but someone else."
Hearing this, the boss looked at Huo Er in surprise, then looked at Tang Xiaorou and Qin Xueqiong, "So you are the ones looking for someone, but I still say the same thing, I really don't know the man in the photo. The reason I kept the photo was because he never came to get it, and he was really good-looking, so I hung it on the wall as a template."
Tang Xiaorou took the photo she had obtained earlier, pointed at Qin Zhe's clothes and said, "Boss, take a closer look. This clothing should be a work uniform from a certain factory. Do you recognize which factory it is from?"
The boss took the photo and looked at it carefully, then clapped his hands and said, "Oh, it's true, but the work clothes of several factories here are similar in style, so I can't tell which factory this work clothes is from."
"Boss, which factories produce this style of work clothes? If not, we can go and ask each one."
The boss was also enthusiastic. After knowing that they had been looking for someone, he recalled carefully and said, "The work clothes in the steel plant, sand plant, and machinery plant are almost the same. Originally, you could have gone and listened carefully, but now so many years have passed, some things are simply not good to listen to."
Tang Xiaorou was not discouraged when she heard this, and thanked him with a smile.
"Thank you, boss. Then we will go to these factories and ask."
The boss waved his hand and said, "You're welcome. I can't help you much. I hope you can get what you want and find the man in the photo."
"Thank you, boss."
Tang Xiaorou didn't ask any more questions at the photo studio, so she took everyone away.
At the photo studio, Huo Er was silent for a while, and finally looked at Tang Xiaorou to apologize, "Miss, we were careless and didn't think so much." They really didn't pay attention to Qin Zhe's clothes in the photo, not to mention that it was a black and white photo, and the clothes in the photo were similar, so they just ignored it.
Tang Xiaorou shook her head and said, "No, it's not your fault. The work clothes my uncle is wearing are too formal. If you don't look carefully, you can't see it at all."
Having said that, Huo Er still felt that they were careless.
Tang Xiaorou didn't think too much about it and asked, "Which factory is the closest to here?"
“It’s the steel mill.”
Seeing Huo Er say this, Tang Xiaorou made the decision, "Then let's start with the steel plant."
So they headed straight for the steel factory, but before they could get in, they were stopped by the guard. "Who are you looking for?"
"Master, let's go to the personnel department."
