Chapter 7 Chapter 6: Twice Mistakes

Follow Luo Ding is no progress.His life is normal, going to work in the morning, having lunch near the office at noon, coming back from work in the afternoon, or not going out at home, or socializing, or going out for a walk or watching a movie by himself, this kind of regular, stereotyped life , Write it out, think about it carefully, it is really scary, but almost everyone lives like this. The fifth day was Sunday, and I almost wanted to give up tracking, but there was really no other way to go except on Luo Ding, so I continued to follow.That day, when I woke up in the morning, Bai Su opened the door to welcome a visitor, Mrs. Guo.

Mrs. Guo’s expression was very hasty and nervous, but it was a little different from the expression I had seen her several times after Xiao Guo disappeared. As soon as she saw me, she immediately said: “Mr. Wei, I received a call from him! " I almost jumped up. The "his phone" that Mrs. Guo said was naturally Xiao Guo's phone.Xiao Guo has been missing for so many days, things are so bizarre and clueless, now suddenly he has a call, this is so exciting! I hurriedly asked, "Where is he?" Mrs. Guo shook her head: "I don't know, what he said on the phone is weird, but I can recognize that it is indeed his voice."

I hurriedly asked again: "What did he say?" Mrs. Guo took out a small tape recorder: "Since his accident happened, I'm afraid he was kidnapped by bad guys, so I record every phone call, please listen to the tape, this call, I have 20 minutes I received it before, as soon as he finished speaking, I will come!" I quickly took the tape recorder, pressed a button, the tape reel was spinning, and I heard Xiao Guo's voice immediately. There is no doubt that it was Xiao Guo's voice. Based on my ten-year friendship with him, I can be sure. The voice is very weak, it sounds like when he is speaking, there is something separated, and it is very slow, the voice drags on for a long time, and the sound is a little changed. It seems that the speed of sound propagation is slowed down, like It is the same as playing a 78-rpm record at a speed of 16.

But one thing is certain, that is, even if the voice changes a bit, it is Xiao Guo's voice. Moreover, his words sounded very clear. He was dragging his voice and asking: "Can you hear my voice? Can you hear me?" Then there was Mrs. Guo's urgent voice: "Hear, where are you, why are you speaking so slowly?" Then came Xiao Guo's voice again, Xiao Guo seemed to have never heard his wife's words, just said: "Did you hear my voice? I'm fine, you don't need to miss me, I will come back, I am trying to come back .” Mrs. Guo's voice was crying: "Where are you, tell me!"

Xiao Guo spoke completely on his own, but what he continued to say was consistent with Mrs. Guo's questioning, he said: "I don't know where I am now, it's too weird, everything is too weird, please Don't worry, I will come back, I will definitely come back!" Xiao Guo’s voice ended here, followed by Mrs. Guo’s series of hurried “Hello” sounds, and then the voice on the tape ended. My brows were tightly furrowed, I couldn't say a word, and I listened again, Mrs. Guo said with tears in my eyes, "Where is he?" I smiled wryly and said, "Even he doesn't know, so of course we can't follow the Tao."

Bai Su also frowned: "I see, Mr. Guo is not directly talking on the phone, it seems that someone recorded his words first, and then played it on the phone at twice the speed!" I also had the same feeling. I adjusted the speed of the recording on the tape recorder, and then picked up the button again. This time, the content was the same, Xiao Guo was still saying those words, but his voice sounded normal, while Mrs. Guo's voice was sharp and hasty, which shows that Bai Su's deduction is very reasonable. I listened to it twice again, and Mrs. Guo asked again: "Where is he, why didn't he say anything!"

I was also extremely confused, but I had to comfort Mrs. Guo, so I said: "No matter where he is, since he has repeatedly said that he is safe and sound, don't worry about it too much!" Mrs. Guo sighed: "If only someone played the tape instead of saying it himself" I understood what she meant, so I immediately interrupted her: "Now, there are two possibilities. One is that someone is threatening him. If that is the case, there must be a contact number. The other is that he really has Strange encounter, then, I think he will contact you again" When I got to this point, I glanced at my wife: "Go back with Mrs. Guo and stay with her."

Bai Su nodded, and left with Mrs. Guo. I listened to it a few more times, and went out immediately to meet Jack. The two of us listened to the content of the phone call again and again, and the question in my heart was also raised at this moment, and I said: "If it was a pre-recorded recording, why did it play it at a slow speed?" Jack said: "If it is not for recording, then it is difficult for a person to change his own voice. Slowing down, and changing the speed of the sound waves are completely different things!" I faintly feel that this matter is a very important key, but I can't figure it out.

The colonel smiled bitterly: "I hope he will make more phone calls and go home!" I had no choice but to smile wryly, which is naturally a joke, but although the phone call confused me, at least Xiao Guo was not dead, which made me happy. I talked with the colonel for a while, and suddenly, the radio intercom next to me rang a "sizzling" sound. I took it out, stretched the antenna, and heard the sound. It was the person following Luo Ding reporting: " The whole family was ordered to go out and got into the car, as if preparing for an outing." Without thinking, I said, "Follow him!"

Colonel Jack shook his head: "You still want to find clues on Luo Ding?" I spread my hands: "Besides this, is there any other way?" Jack sighed: "After Luo Ding had an accident that day, he was sent to the hospital. After waking up, his terrified expression told him what happened to him in the elevator. Maybe he's lying!" I frowned and kept silent. The colonel continued: "And Xiao Guo, according to your description, he was so flustered that he drove away alone at that time, if he hadn't really had a terrible experience, how could he be like that?"

I slowly said: "Yes, I am not denying this, I just think that Luo Ding did not tell the truth, Luo Ding had a terrible experience in the elevator of that building, or he completely changed his experience , and made up another set of lies, or, he did not tell the truth, and concealed part of the truth!" The colonel said helplessly: "Okay, it's up to you to decide. Now, at least you know that Mr. Guo is still alive!" I murmured: "Yes, but where is he? Why didn't he say it on the phone? Or is he imprisoned, and he doesn't even know where he is?" The colonel shook his head and said, "I deny your last statement. He never mentioned being imprisoned. He just said that he was in a very strange situation!" I say nothing more, really because there is nothing to say, and based on what we know so far, it is not even possible to make any assumptions! I left the colonel's office, and for the next hour I received reports of Luoding's whereabouts. Luo Ding's family went to the suburbs. This is a routine pastime for a family like Luo Ding's holidays, so I just listened and didn't pay special attention at all. It wasn't until an hour later that I began to feel that Luo Ding's trip was a bit unusual. The report I received was that Luo Ding's car drove into a very deserted path, and they seemed to be preparing for a picnic! What makes me suddenly feel that things are unusual is that this mountain road leads to "Juefei Garden". I immediately asked the follower to pay more attention. Twenty minutes later, I received a report that Luo Ding's family was having a picnic in an open space near Juefei Garden. It seemed that there was nothing unusual, and no one was paying attention to them. . And five minutes later, I received a report that made my heart beat wildly. The report said that Luo Ding seemed to walk away as if nothing had happened, but as soon as he left the sight of his family, he ran at a very fast speed. To the gate of Juefei Garden. The person in charge of following Luo Ding made it very clear that as soon as Luo Ding arrived at the gate of Juefei Garden, someone immediately opened the door and let him in. After hearing such a report, the excitement in my heart is really indescribable. This situation is a fact: there is a connection between Luo Ding and the owner of Juefei Garden, Wang Zhiyi!Not only is there a connection, but it is also very secretive!Otherwise, he wouldn't have to cover up his meeting with Wang Zhiyi with a family outing! My first decision after receiving this report was: rush to Juefei Garden! But I immediately changed this decision, because I was afraid that if I did so, I would startle the snake. I was very satisfied with the follower's answer. He said that when Luo Ding entered, he had secretly photographed the situation. I nervously waited for further reports. Luo Ding stayed in Juefei Garden for only ten minutes before I received the report that he had left Juefei Garden. You can do a lot of things in ten minutes, but from the moment you walk into the gate of Juefei Garden, you can’t really do anything in ten minutes. I have been to Juefei Garden, and I know that from the gate to the building, It's almost time. The only possibility is that the person Luo Ding wants to meet is waiting for him behind the gate! In the evening, the follower was replaced, and Luo Ding also returned to the urban area. The photos were quickly developed. The photos were taken very well and were continuous. There were six photos showing Luo Ding entering Juefei Garden, and six photos of him. It was taken when I left Jue Fei Garden. Judging from the continuous action photos, Luo Ding simply "rushed" into Juefei Garden. He ran towards the gate of Juefei Garden. The moment he pushed the door, the door seemed to be waiting for him with a false cover. I guess the reason why Luo Ding acted so hastily was because he kept it from his family. He couldn't leave his family having a picnic for too long for no reason, but if it's only ten minutes, it doesn't matter. Looking at Luo Ding's situation, he lowered his head, as if he had a very serious mind, and it was the same for several pictures in a row. A series of questions arose in my heart, why did Luo Ding and Wang Zhiyi meet in secret!I (assume that he went to Juefei Garden to see Wang Zhiyi). There is no connection between Luo Ding and Wang Zhiyi—the only relationship is: Luo Ding had a strange and terrifying experience in that building, and this building was built by Wang Zhiyi. I can't imagine why Luo Ding wants to meet Wang Zhiyi, of course, the best way is to go to Luo Ding. However, Luo Ding is extremely disgusted with me, and it seems that he is determined to continue to hide the secret. Even if I put these photos in front of him to prove that he has been to Juefei Garden, if he makes up another If you try to cover me with lies, I still can't do anything. I thought about it for a long time. In Xiao Guo's detective agency, all the staff were off work. I first asked through the radio. After Luo Ding came back, he didn't go out at home. I picked up the phone and dialed Luo Ding's number. I decided to make a bold move. As long as my assumptions are correct, Luo Ding may be fooled, and I can know a lot of facts. The facts I assume are: Luo Ding went to see Wang Zhiyi. The phone rang for a while, and someone answered it. From the "Hello", I could tell that it was Luo Ding who answered the phone. I lowered my voice so that my voice sounded very old and low, and I said, "Mr. Luo, you met Mr. Wang this afternoon. Now, Mr. Wang asked me to call you!" Luo Ding didn't make a sound, I thought he must be calling, and I didn't rush him. After a while, he said: "What's the matter? When I saw him, I had already made a deal!" My assumption was confirmed by his words! I hurriedly said again: "It's very important. It won't delay you for too long. I want to see you. He has something very important to tell me. It's not convenient to say it on the phone. Please wait half an hour later, at September Coffee Wait for me in the room, you haven't seen me, I have a book in my hand." I didn't allow him to doubt or deny, so I immediately put down the phone. My guess is good, he will go to see Wang Zhiyi in the afternoon, so I can be sure that he will definitely come! I opened Xiao Guo's makeup cabinet, and within ten minutes, I transformed myself into an old man, and then I arrived at the September Cafe. The reason why I chose this coffee room is because it is a famous couple's place. The lighting is dim and the chairs are very tall. Because my knowledge is almost blank, I need to use my speaking skills and ambiguous words as much as possible to make Luo Ding reveal the truth unintentionally. Luo Ding is not a fool, and the dark lights help me to cover up. After I sat down, within five minutes, I saw Luo Ding walking in. I quickly raised my book and waved to him. Luo Ding saw me, and he walked straight to me and sat down opposite me. I looked at him, and he looked at me. At that moment, I really didn't know how to break the deadlock. Fortunately, Luo Ding spoke first: "How long will you control me?" I had a sudden shock in my heart, Luo Ding used the word "control", which shows that the matter is very serious! I immediately decided to say this: "Mr. Luo, in fact, you have not suffered any damage!" Luo Ding seemed to be about to explode. Although his voice was very low, his anger could be heard, and he said: "In the eyes of you people, I have nothing to lose, but I am tired enough. Now, what am I, your white mouse?" He used the words "white rat" again, which baffled me even more, and I could hardly catch it. I was stunned for a while, but still kept calm: "In comparison, you are much better than the one with the surname Guo!" It is very risky for me to say this, because if Xiao Guo's experience is different from Luo Ding's, then my fake identity will be exposed immediately.So in that moment, I was extremely nervous. Luo Ding stared at me hurriedly: "I have accepted Mr. Wang's explanation. He has made two mistakes. I don't want to be the victim of his third mistake. Forget it!" What he said, I understand that "two mistakes" may refer to Chen Mao and Xiao Guo, and the person who made these two mistakes is "Mr. Wang", that is to say, everything is related to Wang Zhiyi, This is really a big gain. I immediately thought that my fake identity is the representative of Wang Zhiyi, so I should express embarrassment to his accusation. So, I let out a barrage of dry laughter. Luo Ding looked very angry, and continued: "I don't care what he is doing, and I don't want to!" I thought for a while, then said coldly: "Then why did you go to the countryside to meet him?" I stared at Luo Ding and saw his face became very ugly. He didn't speak for a while, and then murmured: "It's my fault, I shouldn't accept his money!" When I heard this sentence, my heart beat violently!Wang Zhiyi once paid, and Luo Ding accepted his money! Why did Wang Zhiyi give money? Naturally, he wanted to bribe Luo Ding. What did Wang Zhiyi want Luo Ding to do? When I was in a daze, even if I wanted to say a few words to perfunctory him, I couldn't do it. Fortunately, at this time, Luo Ding himself might be very confused. He didn't notice anything strange about me, and said again: "Qian Everyone wants it, and he gives so much!" I took a breath and followed his tone: "So, Mr. Luo, you should do what Mr. Wang said, get money from others, and eliminate disasters from others!" Luo Ding's expression became very ugly: "I will do what he says? If he makes another mistake, it will be on me. Then, what's the use of me asking for money?" When I heard this, I couldn't help being secretly surprised. While listening to Luo Ding's words, I guessed the meaning of his words, and at the same time I was summarizing, trying to understand the facts. The result I concluded surprised me. From what Luo Ding said, I have more or less got some facts.First, Wang Zhiyi gave Luo Ding a large amount of money, and the purpose of Wang Zhiyi's giving money was not only to ask Luo Ding to keep some secrets, but also to ask Luo Ding to continue to do a certain thing, and this kind of thing was dangerous. The danger of this kind of thing is quite high. I can know that if something goes wrong, it will be useless no matter how much money you have, just like Chen Mao and Xiao Guo. I can also infer that the meeting between Wang Zhiyi and Luo Ding today must be very unpleasant. Luo Ding may refuse Wang Zhiyi's request. Therefore, it is a very coincidental thing that I pretend to be Wang Zhiyi's representative and meet Luo Ding. to many facts. As I quickly thought of these points, I said coldly, "Then, would you rather pay back the money?" Luo Ding looked directly at me, very surprised and angry, and raised his voice: "What do you mean by that, did Mr. Wang signal you? Don't forget, his secret is still in my hands!" My heart beat wildly again, Wang Zhiyi has a secret in his hands, my guess is right, I have guessed that Luo Ding must be hiding something, now, my guess has been confirmed, he indeed has something to hide , he knew a certain secret of Wang Zhiyi, but he never told Ren Huiren! I was so excited that I couldn't describe it, and I was thinking about what method I should use to force out the secret of Wang Zhiyi that Luo Ding knew. However, at this moment, behind me, a deep voice suddenly sounded: "Mr. Luo, even if I have a secret in your hands, you don't have to tell everyone!" As soon as I heard it, I stood up immediately, it was Wang Zhiyi's voice! I just stood up and already had my shoulders pressed by my hands. I immediately decided that I should make a decisive decision. I raised my right arm upwards, slapped away the hands on my shoulders, and turned around quickly at the same time. As soon as I turned around, I saw Wang Zhiyi. Although I know that even if Wang Zhiyi sees me, it doesn't matter, but I still don't let him have the chance to see me. When I turned around, I already raised my fist. , The fist has hit his face. The strength of that punch, whether it was light or heavy, was enough to make Wang Zhiyi fall straight down. But I didn't stop for half a second, and rushed out immediately. When I got out of the door, I heard a commotion in the coffee room. By the time I reached the coffee shop, I had already turned the corner. I decided to leave immediately so that I could still keep my identity a secret.And as long as they don't know who I am, tomorrow I can meet Luo Ding with my true colors, listen to Luo Ding's lies, and then expose his lies in person. I believe that under such circumstances, Luo Ding will definitely reveal the truth.This was what I thought when I knocked down Wang Zhiyi and left quickly. I don't think it's wrong to think this way. As for the unexpected development of things later, it was really something I couldn't think of. When I got home, I was very excited because things were starting to fall into place. For any difficult matter, the clue at the beginning is the most important.Some things can bother people for a year or so, but once they have a clue, it is likely to come to light within a day or two, and the truth will be revealed! This night, I fell asleep very late. The next morning, when I opened the newspaper, I just wanted to see if there was any news about the fight in the coffee room. Of course not, such trivial things would not be published in the newspaper. Then, I checked the time, Luo Ding should be in his office by this time. I called Luo Ding's company, but the answer was: "Director Luo didn't come to work today!" I was stunned: "He asked for leave?" The company's answer was: "No, we called his home and his wife said he didn't come back last night." I was stunned for a while, and hurriedly said: "Didn't come back last night? What does that mean, where did he go?" The company staff seemed a little impatient: "I don't know, and his family doesn't know either, so they have already called the police." What else do I want to ask, but the other party has already hung up the phone. I put down the phone, put my hand on the phone, and stared blankly.Luo Ding didn't come home last night! After several days of follow-up, I know that Luo Ding is a person with a very regular life. It is unimaginable for him not to go home for one night.
