Return To 1998

Shazhou County.

On the river embankment in the south of the city, a black Audi parked on the embankment, and Xu Tongdao, dressed in a black suit and a black trench coat, stood not far from the rear of the car, squinting at the shallow water falling on the bottom of the river.

Holding a half cigarette in his hand, he took a sip from time to time.

Xi Dongyang leaned his butt against the rear of the car and was smoking, his eyes were on Xu Tongdao's back.

They were going to the city today.

On the way, they received a call from Bai Jingjing, and under Xu Tongdao's instructions, they turned around and came back halfway.

Back in Shazhou County, Xu Tongdao didn't want to go home, and suddenly asked him to drive the car up the river bank.

On the river bank on the fifth day of the first lunar month, it was quite cold.

The river bank under his feet was frozen hard, and the wind blowing on the river surface cut his face like a knife, which was very uncomfortable.

but……

Xi Dongyang can understand Xu Tongdao's mood at this time. He has been working under Xu Tongdao for several years. He has heard rumors about Xu Tongdao's father from Xu Tonglin's mouth for a long time.

Elopement with my sister-in-law...

When he heard about it, he was astonished.

Xu Tongdao's father turned out to be so absurd?

I didn't expect that a phone call on the way today would cause such a big change in this matter.

Framing the blame...splashing dirty water...killing...

These words flashed through Xi Dongyang's mind, so he could really understand Xu Tongdao's mood at this time.

He was thinking: Is Xu Tongdao happy to hear such news suddenly? Still sad?

If his dad is really killed and then framed and splashed with dirty water, then his dad's bad reputation over the past few years can be reversed.

But...the price is death.

So, Tongdao Xu is happy? Or sad?

...

After about twenty minutes.

Xu Tongdao, who has already smoked a few cigarettes,

The phone in the trouser pocket finally rang.

Tongdao Xu opened his half-squinted eyes, threw the cigarette butt, took out his phone and put it to his ear, listening to Ge Lianghua's report on the phone without saying a word.

Xiaodao! Bai Jingen caught it! It was caught by our people. The old boy was already running to the county town, but he couldn't stop the car on the road, so he went to the West River and sat on the hook to the county town. The boat, hum, and then we were blocked on the boat by our people. That old boy is really not afraid of death. In such a cold day, he jumped off the boat and wanted to swim to the shore and continue to run, but our brothers can also swim, three A brother jumped into the water and caught him...

On the phone, Ge Lianghua kept talking for a few minutes.

Tongdao Xu only asked a few questions.

Where are you now?

Did he admit it? My dad... Was he killed by him?

Where's Bai Meifeng? Let him explain where Bai Meifeng is now!

...

And Ge Lianghua's answer is:

We are currently in the rice mill in Qidong Village. We caught the three brothers of Baijingen. Two of them are from Qidong Village. The rice mill belongs to one of the brothers' uncles. We are interrogating the old boy for now!

No! Hey! This old boy's mouth is so tight, no matter how hard the brothers ask him, he just won't admit it, he won't admit anything! But the more stubborn he is, the more we suspect that he is lying! Otherwise, he has no reason for anything. Don't say anything, right?

Bai Meifeng? No! That old boy's mouth is too tight, he will never admit that he has an affair with Bai Meifeng, and he won't even say that he is killed!

But we just found on his cell phone that he had two call records with Bai Meifeng this year, one of which was called twenty minutes ago.

But this old boy is about to die, so he still won't say where Bai Meifeng is now, but don't worry, we will continue to try him! Will definitely pry his mouth open!

...

Hearing this, Tongdao Xu was silent for a few seconds, his eyes suddenly sharpened, and he said in a deep voice, Cousin! Leave two of you to continue the trial! All the others come to the county town for me, first send someone to guard the bus station and train station, and others People go to various hotels and guesthouses to search for me!

Just say what I said! Who can find out Bai Meifeng for me! 500,000 bonus! Get moving!

Ge Lianghua froze for a while, and after a few seconds, he asked in a complicated tone, Xiao Dao, what are you saying is true?

Tongdao Xu narrowed his eyes, his tone affirmed, Really!

Ge Lianghua: Good!

After a pause, he added: However, Xiaodao, what if Bai Meifeng is not in the county seat now? Otherwise, I will let our people in the city move too? Guard the bus station, train station, etc. in the city. ?

Tong Xu said: Yes! In short, be sure to find her out for me!

Ge Lianghua: Okay! I'll try my best!

...

call ended.

Tongdao Xu took out the cigarette case, lowered his head and lit another one.

Half-squinted eyes, deep eyes.

After a puff of smoke came out, Huo Ran turned around and strode to the car door, at the same time instructing Xi Dongyang: Dongyang! Go! Get in the car! Accompany me to a place!

Xi Dongyang raised his eyelids, nodded immediately, and threw the cigarette butt.

Before getting into the car, Tongdao Xu also threw away the cigarette he had just lit, stomped on it with his foot, and got into the car with his foot raised.

Where?

Xi Dongyang got into the car and turned around to ask when he was wearing his seat belt.

Xu Tongdao: Happy Community!

okay!

Xi Dongyang responded and quickly started the car and drove down the river bank.

...

The Happy Community is the community where Xu Tongdao's cousin Bai Lanlan and Mi Li live.

When Bai Lanlan got married, Tongdao Xu came here once with his parents. Because the name of this community has the word happiness in it, he remembered it.

At this time, he wanted to go to Xingfu Community in person. Naturally, he wanted to personally see if Bai Meifeng was living with his daughter Bai Lanlan recently.

After all, someone saw Bai Meifeng come back recently.

Bai Meifeng has even gone back to her hometown in Baiwan Village, so maybe she's staying at Bai Lanlan recently!

daughter!

Even though Bai Meifeng has a bad reputation for eloping, maybe Bai Lanlan has already forgiven her.

Even... Bai Lanlan knew for a long time that Bai Meifeng had no secrets about her elopement. Maybe Bai Lanlan has been helping Bai Meifeng to cover up in recent years.

The above are all speculations by Xu Tongdao.

He's not sure if it's accurate, so take a look for yourself.

If Bai Meifeng really hid with Bai Lanlan, that would be the best.

If he didn't hide there, he could also rule out this place and let his subordinates do their best to search the county and other places in the city.

After about half an hour.

Xu Tongdao and Xi Dongyang came to Bai Lanlan's door.

In fact, Tongdao Xu couldn't remember how many buildings and rooms Bai Lanlan lived in, so when they first found the Happy Community, they spent some time inquiring in the guard room.

Initially, the uncle in the guard room was very tight-lipped and did not want to say anything.

Tongdao Xu noticed the cigarettes in the doorman's hand, and handed all the half-packs of Huazi in his arms to the uncle. The uncle was relieved and checked for them.

pity……

When I knocked on the door of Bai Lanlan's house, only Bai Lanlan's mother-in-law and a little girl were at home, not to mention Bai Meifeng, even Bai Lanlan and Mi Li were not at home.
