Chapter 12 first quarter

Danny and I took a direct flight from my city to Washington at noon the next day. We spent about 24 hours on the way. When the plane landed at Washington Airport, it happened to be ten minutes past midnight local time. Jet lag can seem like a serious illness to some people, but to me, it's not a problem at all.Originally, my body’s time inertia is not very strong. If something happens, I can stay up for three days and three nights without sleeping and still maintain a high energy state. Until you can't bear the hunger and are forced to get up!This is of course due to my young body, but also due to my irregular living habits.

I was almost asleep on the plane, so when the plane landed, I was already refreshed.If it hadn't been for midnight, I thought I would be able to get to work right away. Danny also seemed very happy because he returned to his hometown. When the plane flew over Washington, he began to introduce the local attractions to me non-stop. In fact, the full name of Washington is Washington, District of Columbia. This name is not only to commemorate the founding president of the United States, George Washington, but also to commemorate another celebrity-Columbus who discovered the New World of America!Adjacent to the Atlantic Ocean, Washington is the political, cultural, and educational center of the United States. From a high altitude, you can overlook the world-famous place - the White House!This unremarkable two-story white building, only 26 meters high and 53 meters wide, is not only the residence of the President of the United States, but also the place where important officials of the US government work. Every order issued from here may affect the situation in the world. Significant changes occur.

When we got off the plane, Danny didn't contact his family, but stayed with me in a hotel not far from the airport. Although it was ten minutes in the middle of the night, I didn't feel sleepy at all, and Danny seemed full of energy, so we didn't go to bed, but ordered snacks and whiskey, and studied tomorrow's itinerary in the room. In fact, I had already heard Danny talk about Rock's whereabouts in Washington on the plane, and now he even took out a very detailed road map and told me one by one. Judging from the route shown on the map, Rock stayed here for a total of five days, and mainly visited three places. One place is Eisenfur Street on the banks of the Tomac River, which is not far from the Pentagon of the US Department of Defense. far; the other place is near the Capitol Building located at the highest point in the city, "Capitol Hill", and the last place is a hotel near Elips Park. The name of that hotel has been marked in detail by Danny——Love Lips (that is, a hotel named after the park).

"Actually, Roque went to Elips first. He rushed to Eisenfur Street that day, and boarded the 'Capitol Hill' the next day. After returning from there, Roque basically never left Elips again. Hotel! I stayed there for three days." Danny said solemnly. "If Rock's arrival in Washington has other purposes, then his plan should be implemented in this hotel!" I said. Danny nodded: "I think so too, but the strange thing is that the hotel manager has never heard of Rock, and even the hotel staff have no impression of him at all!" This surprised me, and I couldn't help asking, "What does this mean?"

"I mean, during the five days that Roque arrived at that hotel, these people couldn't remember what happened during these five days at all! As far as I know the residents near the hotel, during these five days, the hotel The door was closed tightly all the time, no one came in or out, it seemed that the hotel was closed for a few days!" "Could it be that the hotel has been locked up by Rock and no longer accepts any guests! Judging from his financial resources and the strange circumstances of this operation, this is very possible!" I muttered and slowly expressed my guess.

"Yes!" Danny poured a little whiskey for me, "There may be such a possibility, but the problem is that everyone in the hotel has no memories of these five days at all. It should be said that these five days The memory here seems to have been consciously erased! Because each of them insisted that they were in normal business for the past five days, and they have never received a Chinese like Rock!" "What about the registration records of the guest rooms? These things should not lie!" I took a sip of my wine. "That's the problem, because the registration of these five days is completely blank. They claimed that the computer program malfunctioned and deleted all the records of these five days. Everyone's caliber is exactly the same!" Danny smiled wryly.

I frowned and said, "Okay, let's put this question aside for now, what about the other two places? Are there any special marks left?" Danny shook his head: "As far as I know, Roque spent less than three hours in these two places, just like ordinary tourists visiting. You also know that the Chinese people in the world Every place has its own gathering places. You can say that your footsteps are all over the world. Of course, there is also a Chinatown in Washington. It is not easy to find his precise coordinates in this place." I nodded slightly, and said: "Then, tomorrow we will live in Elips, I don't think he will leave any clues behind."

"Are you still going to the other two places?" Danny asked. "Of course, we have to go. Rock won't just go to these two places for no reason! These three places must have some kind of connection that we don't know yet!"
