I left the study and got into the car.
After handing the landmark clue to the bodyguard outside the car, Zhang Youye gestured for Uncle Wu to drive into the alleyway first.
“It’s already dark, young master. There are no lights in that alley,” Uncle Wu said.
"It's okay, drive over there first, I'll go check it out later."
They separated from the bodyguards at the entrance of the garden, their brake lights flashing and then going out.
The only light at the entrance of the alley was out, but the moonlight cast a dim glow on the overturned trash can amidst the mess, and the scattered garbage seemed to have been rummaged through.
It was clear that these were traces left by stray cats and dogs searching for food. Zhang Youye slowly squatted down in place, wanting to examine the area more closely.
A puppy suddenly appeared from some corner.
It was tiny, whimpering, and looked very friendly, but its fur was so dirty that you couldn't tell its original color.
The little guy was so hungry that he dared to beg for food from humans. He got up from where he stood, turned to Uncle Wu and said, "Take the food out of the car and feed it." Then Zhang Youye walked deeper into the alley.
They walked back and forth for half the journey, but still found no useful clues.
Shu Yi is a smart person and has even learned martial arts. Even if she encounters danger, she will definitely try to leave something behind, such as tearing off the other person's clothes.
unless--
At the time of the incident, she was caught off guard and knocked unconscious by the other party.
Shaking his increasingly heavy head, perhaps truly terrified by his own thoughts, Zhang Youye let out a long sigh and turned back to the alley entrance.
Watching the fearless little stray dog lying on the ground eating heartily, Uncle Wu stroked its little head.
"Young master, the young mistress told me to come here because she heard a dog barking. I don't know if it was this dog she fed."
There was no response. After a moment of silence, Zhang Youye took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth.
There were still several hours until midnight, and I had tried every method I could think of, but there was still no news from Shuyi.
Unable to find her depressed mood, Zhang Youye really wanted to dig three feet into the ground in Jingnan.
He lit a cigarette, took a deep drag to calm his chaotic mind, stared silently at the puppy for a moment, and then said to Uncle Wu, "Take this dog back and raise it. Yiyi has been saying she wants to have a dog."
Nodding in agreement, Uncle Wu looked at the puppy's indistinct fur and got up to go to the carriage to find a blanket.
Waiting for Uncle Wu to return, the puppy seemed to have eaten and drunk its fill, and could distinguish between a full meal and a full meal. It began to circle around Zhang Youye's heels, trying to please him and act cute.
Unwilling to play with the puppy, she whispered, "I'm busy helping you find your mom right now, I'm not in the mood to play with you," and gently pushed the puppy to the side.
Just as Zhang Youye turned around, he heard the puppy bark twice.
Turning his head, he saw that the puppy seemed to understand him, barking and tugging at his trouser leg.
After tugging at the trouser leg, it ran to a corner and kept tugging at it with its little paws.
When Zhang Youye curiously went over to take a look, he immediately saw the recording pen in the corner of the wall and blurted out "Damn!" He quickly picked up the recording pen and pressed it a few times.
Unfortunately, the voice recorder did not respond.
It must be out of power.
"Young Master, what's wrong?" Holding a blanket, Uncle Wu quickly came to Zhang Youye's side. "What's this? Young Master, where did you find it?"
He put the recorder in his pocket, then, wrapped in a blanket, cradled the puppy about to enter the world of the wealthy in his arms, and gave the little thing's fluffy head a good rub.
"This little thing pointed it out to me, so maybe this meal really wasn't a waste of time."
"Shall we go to the tunnel now?" Uncle Wu asked.
"Let's go, drive fast on the road, don't waste time." Zhang Youye nodded.
...
Leaving the alleyway, we hurried to the tunnel.
It was exactly seven o'clock.
Besides the constant flow of traffic, many people were searching for clues along the way inside the tunnel.
As the leader rushed up to him, Zhang Youye asked in a deep voice, "Still no clues?"
"Young Master, the tunnel has been thoroughly inspected inside and out, and there are no abnormalities."
"How could a car just disappear into thin air if there was nothing wrong with it?"
"Well, we really checked it very carefully, not even missing a single crack. Young master, please believe me, there really is nothing unusual in the tunnel."
Since there was nothing unusual in the tunnel.
Why didn't the van appear from the exit?
Which step went wrong?
The only clue was lost in the tunnel. Zhang Youye pursed his lips, his gaze fixed intently on the passing cars.
He pursed his lips and stared at it for a while before slowly turning his gaze to the surveillance camera on the sign at the entrance.
With a try-it-and-see attitude, Zhang Youye took out his phone and called Zhang Huaiyi.
"Brother, is there any new information?"
Without taking his eyes off the surveillance camera, Zhang Youye gripped his phone and began to explain.
"Have the people checking the surveillance footage review it again, be more careful, especially when entering the tunnel."
"Brother, what are you suspecting?"
“I suspect someone tampered with the surveillance footage. I don’t believe a car could just disappear into a tunnel for no reason. How could a van possibly go through such a confluence? It’s not like the nine planets are aligned right now.”
After speaking with Zhang Huaiyi, he learned that the bodyguards searching for the suspicious coordinates had not yet made any new progress.
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Youye returned to the train carriage.
After searching for a long time without finding a charger compatible with the voice recorder, he could only signal to Uncle Wu to go back to the garden first.
...
at the same time.
Jingnan is a sparsely populated area.
The surrounding area is overgrown with weeds, littered with construction debris, and a half-built building stands in the distance.
In the center of the dilapidated building, a bonfire provides light to the surroundings.
