70. The East and the West
With a bang, Lei Lanting closed the first floor door heavily, put the iron lock on, turned around and walked down the steps, shouting loudly at Dong Qiangqiang and Tong Lele under the steps, "Let's go, come again tomorrow, let's come again tomorrow!"
There was silence around, and there was not even the sound of birds. There was only the gentle whimpering sound of the breeze blew across the forest and caressing the branches. His voice floated in the forest for a while and gradually dissipated.
In the woods under the night, they could only vaguely see the shadows of the trees, and the thick branches and leaves blocked the remaining light. Although they were not yet able to see their fingers, they were scary. Although they were walking between the two boys, Tong Lele still felt scared.
Just next to the window where Dong Qiangqiang and Tong Lele enjoyed the beautiful sunset, a white man with glasses looked down indifferently, watching three little friends walking through the kneeless weeds with tree sticks and finally disappearing into the woods.
The villa was pitch black and there was no light at all. Suddenly, a sound of violin, oboe and viola came from the building, which was the Brandenburg Concerto.
Hearing the music, a black shadow slowly walked down the stairs on the third floor. His steps were light, as if he was afraid of disturbing something.
He stood outside the door of the second floor music room, gently pushed the door open a crack, the door opened with a creaking sound, and the room was pitch black. What surprised him was that the gentle and soothing classical music did not come from here. He stood in the corridor and listened carefully, and then realized that the music was actually coming from the first floor.
He followed the stairs to another floor, and the corridor was also pitch black. He stood in the corridor and listened for a while before he slowly walked towards a room at the end of the corridor by the night passing through the windows and shining through the hazy light on the corridor floor.
He stood outside the house motionless, clearly hearing the elegant music coming from the crack of the void door.
He pushed the door with his hand, and the door opened suddenly. He reached out and pulled the switch on the wall, but the light did not light up. He turned it back and forth several times before he was sure that the light was really broken.
He pulled the thick curtains in the room and couldn't see anything clearly. He took two steps, opened the curtains, and turned around, and saw a working record player in a corner of the room.
He walked towards the record player quickly, and at this moment, his feet suddenly slipped, his body suddenly lost its balance and fell heavily on the floor.
He supported the ground with his hands and wanted to stand up, but found that the floor was sticky and slippery. As soon as he could barely stand up, the light in the room suddenly turned on. Although the light was not good, he still saw an oriental girl holding a knife in her hand and looking frightened at the door.
He was shocked and was about to walk towards her when a man suddenly hugged him from behind and fell to the ground with him.
The white man with glasses who was dizzy from the fall hadn't reacted yet, a tall oriental man suddenly appeared in his sight. He was about to shout, but his mouth suddenly seemed to be being cast with magic and could not make any sound.
A cold bone-clearing knife was like a snake, which was wrapped around his neck at some point.
He fainted immediately in fear.
The fire in the fireplace was rippling and the room was warm.
Tong Lele found several sets of old pajamas in other rooms. After each of them changed, he put the wet clothes he had changed on a chair and dries them by the fire.
"You are still cunning!" Lei Lanting leaned against the window and sighed, "I would definitely not have imagined it."
Tong Lele tilted her head and wiped her wet hair with a towel: "Yes, how did you think he would go to find a record player?"
Dong Qiangqiang wore a wrinkled pajamas and walked towards the fireplace with two long legs. The pajamas only reached his calves, as if they were cropped pants.
He squatted down, pinched two cigarettes with three fingers, and reached onto a piece of red wood. As soon as the front of the cigarette touched the wood, two small yellow flames immediately rose, and the flames immediately went out and turned into two wisps of blue smoke.
Dong Qiangqiang handed a cigarette to Lei Lanting, walked to another window, took a deep breath, and opened the window and slowly vomited the cigarette from his mouth out of the window.
"Have you two played hide and seek when you were kids?" he asked suddenly.
"It must have been played." Lei Lantingqi said, "But does this have anything to do with today's incident?"
"Only, once the hiding person hides, he will not easily change places. If he does not hide properly, the chance of being found will increase. But if the hiding person knows how to speak out, the safety factor of hiding will increase a lot."
"Speak east and attack west?" Tong Lele said thoughtfully, "What do you mean..."
"It is to deliberately provide some wrong tips to people who are looking for people, such as placing a toy under the tree and holding a square towel on the cabinet door. If you are playing hide-and-seek at night, throw an open flashlight in the opposite direction of the hiding place, and so on are misleading. Then..." He smiled and took a sip of cigarettes.
"So you deliberately asked me to shout loudly at the door, deliberately let him see the three of us leave the house, and deliberately turned on the record player in the room to play records, all to mislead him." Lei Lanting suddenly realized.
"If you see three people leaving the house with your own eyes and music appears downstairs, you will definitely be curious." Dong Qiangqiang looked at the night outside the window and said, "Normal people will be curious."
"So the record machine is the flashlight that is placed on the ground when playing hide-and-seek at night?" Tong Lele asked.
"I learned from one example and I can't see it even if I put a flashlight." Dong Qiangqiang smiled bitterly.
"So you calculated that he would turn it off after finding the record player, so you asked Lei Lanting to sprinkle oil on the ground, right?" Tong Lele asked.
Dong Qiangqiang nodded: "I'm also taking a gamble."
"But how did you know that the windows of that house were not closed?" Lei Lanting said suspiciously. "If the windows are closed, how could we come in and ambush him?"
"That window was specially opened before I left." Dong Qiangqiang blinked with a smile.
"I'm so cunning." Lei Lanting sighed, "Lele, this is the kind of boy I've always told you: he looks honest and honest on the outside, but he's sinister and cunning on the inside. You must stay away from such people."
Before he finished speaking, the man in glasses gradually woke up. Seeing the two men and one woman beside him, he was excited to stand up, but suddenly he found that he was tied to a chair and could not move.
"Stop making trouble, I..." Lei Lanting suddenly turned his head and asked Tong Lele, "Why is the German bundle saying?"
Tong Lele told him a word in a low voice, and Lei Lanting proudly snapped his fingers at the man in glasses: "Tell me, how many things have you stole?"
"Stealing something?" The man in glasses was stunned, "How could I steal something? You are the thieves. Let me go. You barbarians." He said as he twisted violently, and his legs kept making "aggressive" sounds on the floor, like a woodpecker.
"We are thieves? Hum... We were invited by a German company to clean up. What about you? Who did you invite you?" Lei Lanting glanced at Dong Qiangqiang, turned his head and continued to question, "If you are not a thief? Then where did our roast duck go?"
When the man in glasses heard the roast duck, he was stunned. He slowly lowered his head and became silent.
"Are you guilty?" Lei Lanting saw that the other party was speechless and became more confident. He stood in front of the man with glasses and said fiercely, "Say, what else have you stole? Did you do that in the third floor so messy?"
Hearing this, the man in glasses suddenly raised his head, turned to look at the three people, and shouted excitedly: "No, no, I'm not a thief! You guys let me go! I'm the owner of this house!"
"Master?" The three of them were stunned and looked at each other.
"Why are the master so sneaky and sneaky? He is still fucking stealing our roast duck?" Lei Lanting became more and more angry as he said, "Are you like the Germans?"
"I, I have a proof!" The man in glasses became more and more excited as he spoke. His body kept shaking, and his chair also shaking violently. His glasses fell to the ground.
"Your uncle, you little..." Lei Lanting was also excited and was about to hit him with a fist.
"Da Lei, listen to him first." Dong Qiangqiang quickly stopped him.
The man in glasses panted and said to Dong Qiangqiang: "My ID card is in my inner pocket. You can tell by taking it out."
"Old, be careful of fraud." Lei Lanting reminded from the side.
Dong Qiangqiang carefully reached into his inner pocket, and the man in glasses watched his hand take out a black wallet from his inner pocket with anticipation.
Dong Qiangqiang opened his wallet, and the other two came to him. He saw that there was indeed a German ID card in his wallet. The photo on the ID card was a man with glasses, but the man in the photo looked more middle-aged and kinder.
Seeing the name on the ID card, Dong Qiangqiang was stunned for a moment: "So your name is?"
