613. Scarlet Christmas (16) (Volume 1 Final Chapter)
The ticket office of the ferry terminal is a postmodern deconstructed building composed of three sets of rectangular buildings of brass alloy colors. The tones are restrained and low-key. Those who don’t know will miss it if they think it is a museum or art gallery.
What Dong Qiangqiang didn't expect was that before the agreed time was reached, Zhou Zhihai arrived at the dock. Unlike the last time, this time he looked relaxed and confident.
The other party's energetic look made Dong Qiangqiang excited. He seemed to see a glimmer of vitality from Lao Bai, and hurriedly walked up to Du Lan.
When Zhou Zhihai came over, he not only saw the box in Dong Qiangqiang's hand, but also Du Lan. His face drooped with naked eyes, and both sides asked Dong Qiangqiang fiercely, "Why did you bring her here?"
Du Lan quickly cursed in her heart, but asked quietly on her face: "Are you afraid that I will report your shameful act?"
"Du Lan!" Dong Qiangqiang opposed softly.
Zhou Zhihai snorted coldly and asked knowingly: "Did you bring the money?"
Dong Qiangqiang shook the cash box in his hand, and a swelling sound immediately made. In Zhou Zhihai's ears, there was no more wonderful and pleasant sound than this.
"Tell me, what did you find?" Du Lan asked with a nervousness. She was not as optimistic as Dong Qiangqiang, and was worried that Zhou Zhihai would not find anything.
The wind is strong on the river bank, and the colorful flags beside the road are whispered by the wind, as if they will break free from the arms of the flagpole and throw themselves into the arms of the wind at any time.
"He has been to more than a dozen islands," Zhou Zhihai sent a cigarette into his mouth. "Five of them are likely to be."
"A dozen islands?" Du Lan glanced at Dong Qiangqiang, "Are they 14 islands in the city or..."
"It's not the main island." Zhou Zhihai blew a slut at Du Lan in a ruffian manner, smiling wickedly, "It's all archipelago (island)."
Dong Qiangqiang and Du Lan looked at each other and took a breath of cold air. As expected, they would be as afraid as they would come.
"You didn't agree to me like that last time," Dong Qiangqiang frowned, "I said, you have to tell me which island Lao Bai can get the money."
"Apart from Lao Chen, I'm afraid no one knows where Lao Bai is." Zhou Zhihai shrugged, "And I suspect that even he may not remember which island he threw Lao Bai away. I can find five of them, which is worthy of you. Do you know how much money and effort it took to find this information?"
"Aren't you who helped him throw Lao Bai on the island?" Du Lan questioned, "How come you don't know?"
"My surname is Du, I warn you to be careful when speaking!" Zhou Zhihai blew the cigarette that had just been taken a few sips on Du Lan's face. Du Lan nimblely turned his head to avoid the cigarette butts, "Sweden is a rule of law society, and accusation will be jailed. If you want to cheat me, I swear you will not have good results."
Du Lan stared at Zhou Zhihai's eyes head-on, with no fear on her face.
Zhou Zhihai looked at Du Lan with a sinister look for a long time, and suddenly turned his head and shouted loudly: "Dong Qiangqiang, are you still doing this business?"
Dong Qiangqiang knew very well that in this case, if he did not buy the information in Zhou Zhihai, it would depend on the search and rescue capabilities of the Swedish police and Lao Bai's luck. Of course, even if he bought the information, he might not be able to find Lao Bai. Perhaps he could only reduce the search range of the Swedish police. This is an ideal situation, but no one knows how much it can be reduced. Even if he is eager to do so, he has no choice but to do anything at this time.
After pondering for a long time, Dong Qiangqiang looked at the rows of ready-to-depart ferries parked on the shore and finally nodded heavily.
Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang finally surrendered, Zhou Zhihai smiled obscenely and hooked the cash box in Dong Qiangqiang's hand in the air with his index finger: "Take it."
He was about to hand the money box to Zhou Zhihai, but Du Lan grabbed his arm: "Wait a minute."
"Yeah, it turns out you are a coward who can't make a decision?" Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang was blocked by Du Lan, Zhou Zhihai raised his lips and deliberately sarcastic, "You can't make a decision, you're talking about it earlier. You're wasting my precious time with a silly thing, stupid..." He cursed in vain.
Dong Qiangqiang ignored his provocation and turned his head to the other side. Du Lan asked bluntly: "You said there are five islands that are the most suspected. How do we know that you didn't just use a few island names to fool us?"
"The surname of Du is almost the same. Is it necessary to lie to you so hard? Is it worth my troubles? "Zhou Zhihai took out an envelope from his bag with disdain and shook it lightly in front of them, "Did you see it? This is the GPS record of Lao Chen's outing islands issued by the speedboat rental company. I spent a lot of money to get it."
Seeing the envelope in Zhou Zhihai's hand, Dong Qianqiang's eyes lit up.
"I can't believe him." Du Lan leaned over to Dong Qiangqiang, whispered to Dong Qiangqiang with his back to Zhou Zhihai, "Be careful of fraud."
Seeing Du Lan and Dong Qiangqiang muttering something in a low voice, Zhou Zhihai lit a cigarette for himself and said to himself: "Don't think that I beg you for this matter. Last time we said, I also provided a possible place. You go to find someone. I am not a god. How can you promise that you can find it? It's cold now. You have time to talk to me. Don't you worry about Lao Bai having a mistake? Looking back because you are nonsense here, Lao Bai starved to death, froze to death, thirsty, or being taken away by animals. Don't you regret it?"
Dong Qiangqiang no longer hesitated, patted Du Lan's hand gently, and finally handed over the money box.
Zhou Zhihai hurriedly held the cigarette in his mouth, took the money box with a smile, and handed the envelope to Dong Qiangqiang with the other.
Just as he was about to take the money box completely, Dong Qiangqiang grabbed his wrist and threatened righteously: "If you lied to me, I will make you lose money."
The moment Zhou Zhihai was captured, he wanted to change the passive situation by turning his wrist. In the past few months, he has specially practiced arm strength and wrist strength, and he is confident that he can surpass Dong Qiangqiang.
But after not seeing each other for a few months, Dong Qiangqiang's hand strength became even stronger than when he met last time. Zhou Zhihai made a secret effort and knew that he had no chance of winning.
Dong Qiangqiang thought the other party would fight to the death, so he added dark force to his hands, but he suddenly felt relieved after failing to try it once, as if he gave up resisting.
"His time..." Zhou Zhihai lowered his head and said to Dong Qiangqiang's watch, "No more."
Dong Qiangqiang was stunned when he heard this. Zhou Zhihai took the opportunity to snatch the money box from Dong Qiangqiang's hand. He threw the cigarette to the ground angrily, opened the box quickly, ordered the money inside, closed the box, turned around and left.
"You two have searched carefully and found me and wish Lao Bai a speedy recovery." Zhou Zhihai's gloating voice floated back from a distance.
Du Lan stared at his back in disgust: "Do you believe this scum?"
"I would rather believe that it wasn't you?" Dong Qiangqiang quickly pulled out the things in the envelope, frowned while quickly flirting, "There are too many islands, and they are all big islands. We must call the police immediately."
"What if, I mean, what if Lao Bai was not found in the end or he died, what would you do?" Du Lan asked quietly as he looked at the dazzling sunlight reflected on the surface of the floating ice in the river.
Dong Qiangqiang was shocked and the printing paper in his hand fell silently.
