Ghostly Eyes [Tomb Raiders]

After a few seconds of silence, there was a light knock on the door: "Is Mr. Li at home?"

Ah Jiu gave Li Qiu a look, and Li Qiu immediately raised his voice, "Who is there?"

"Hello, Mr. Li, I'm Secretary Liu. We just met. Is it convenient to meet you now?"

"Secretary Liu?" Li Qiu hurriedly dressed and walked to the door. "How did you find out where I live? I don't remember telling you."

Secretary Liu's voice is calm and elegant, even through a door, Li Qiu can still imagine his calm and composed demeanor. "Since we took the initiative to issue a tracing mission, we still have the most basic investigative capabilities, but it's not important. I didn't have any malicious intentions in visiting the door today, and I don't want to offend too much. I just want to talk to Mr. Li about what happened yesterday. Discuss and discuss."

"If it's still a missing person notice, I'm sorry, we have already declined to Boss Ge, Secretary Liu should hire another Gao Ming."

"Mr. Li, I have brought enough sincerity and apologies for coming here this time, and I also want to solemnly apologize to you for what happened last time. I also ask Mr. Li to open the door and have a face-to-face talk with you. There are people coming and going in this corridor. I've been standing here, I'm afraid it will have a bad impact on the relationship between the neighbors, anyway, please open the door first, Mr. Li."

Li Qiu had no choice but to open the door, and Ah Jiu escaped and hid in the dark kitchen.

Sure enough, there was only Secretary Liu standing outside the door, but there were more than one footsteps in the corridor just now, I'm afraid there are other people lurking in the dark around.Li Qiu let Secretary Liu into the room and closed the door. Secretary Liu was carrying an expensive gift bag that did not match his temperament, and placed it heavily on the table.

"Our boss said that Mr. Li loves seafood. In addition to two bottles of 20-year-old red wine, the king crab that was airlifted from Alaska yesterday, and this VIP gold card is specially given to Mr. Li. From today, with With this card, you can enjoy a seafood buffet in all our restaurants and hotels, and it will be free for life."

Li Qiu swallowed his throat exaggeratedly. Although the snake hits seven inches, this Boss Ge is too accurate in catching people's lives.As soon as he noticed Li Qiu's preferences at the dinner table, he immediately prescribed the right medicine. Even if Li Qiu wanted to refuse, Ah Jiu must be happy to accept this gift.

I only heard Secretary Liu respectfully say: "The 1000 million dowry will remain unchanged. Once again, we sincerely invite Mr. Li to help us find the missing Ye Yan. After we find the person, we will offer you a richer reward." .”

Li Qiu immediately realized something was wrong: "Wait, you only invite me, what about Ah Jiu?"

Secretary Liu put on a decent smile: "Of course, we also sincerely invite Mr. Jiu. However, given the tough attitude Mr. Jiu showed yesterday, we are worried that he will definitely refuse today. After all, we can't do this kind of thing." It's difficult for others. But Mr. Li is different—" Secretary Liu's smile narrowed, and he changed into an uncompromising tone: "I can see that Mr. Li is full of understanding and sympathy for Ye Yan's experience, and he does not reject us. Reach out and be a benefactor in need. So we implore Mr. Li to help us find Ye Yan, and now there is really no time."

Li Qiu was not confused by Secretary Liu's cajoling and persuading rhetoric. He invited him but not Ajiu. Firstly, because Ajiu would definitely refuse categorically, it would be difficult for Ge Tianyou to step down. Secondly, if he agreed If he accepts this entrustment, Ah Jiu will definitely not stay out of it, and will accompany him no matter how unwilling he is - this Boss Ge catches people's lives very well.

"Why must it be us?" Li Qiu asked unwillingly, "We are not professional detectives, at most we can only be regarded as quick-witted, what kind of qualities did Boss Ge take a fancy to in us? That's why he considered this search entrustment." It's up to us."

Secretary Liu was silent for a while, and said softly: "To be honest, besides the two of you, this entrustment has been handed over to many other applicants. You are not the only qualified ones, but in a sense, you are indeed Irreplaceable - because they are so similar, seeing you is like seeing the past of our boss and Ye Yan."

+ + +

Half an hour later, Secretary Liu turned on the laptop and called up a detailed file about Ye Yan.

Li Qiu even made him a cup of green tea symbolically, but the premise of doing so was that after they understood the details of the entire search mission, they still had the right to withdraw and refuse.

Ah Jiu also came out of the kitchen. Secretary Liu was not surprised by his appearance. Thinking about it, since the big boss can find out Li Qiu's address with all his eyes, there is no reason why he can't find out where Ah Jiu lives with him. relation.

"Look, both of you, this is the missing person we are looking for, Ye Yan."

Ye Yan's identity information was densely listed in the document, which was more detailed and richer than what was on the dining table that day.Li Qiu seriously doubts whether this big boss Ge Tianyou has investigated Ye Yan's family and ancestors in the past and present, even the cats and dogs raised in Ye Yan's hometown village, and even the names and surnames are clearly recorded. .

But what really caught his attention was the hundreds of video files in the document, most of which were shot through mobile phone videos, and then backed up from the mobile phone to this computer.

Ah Jiu was not interested in this, and had been leaning on Li Qiu's side to eat walnuts leisurely. He probably hated Secretary Liu and Ge Tianyou from the bottom of his heart, so he didn't agree with this entrusted task at all.While staring at the computer, Li Qiu had to feed walnuts to Ah Jiu who was waiting to be fed.

Seeing this situation, Secretary Liu thoughtfully offered to help Li Qiu peel the walnuts, but Ah Jiu gave him a sharp look back. His kindness was not rewarded.

However, Li Qiu carefully browsed through all of Ye Yan's information. In fact, Ye Yan is a very ordinary person. Except for sexual orientation, everything else, whether it is appearance, background or work qualifications, is thrown into the human race. A type that cannot be found on the heap.

Ye Yan's personality should be strong and upright, independent and self-reliant, and he has the most common dream—hoping to travel all over the country after earning money, and to find a trustworthy life partner and live a good life.Now they all know that Ye Yan's last dream has come true, but the realization is quite ironic.

Finally, Secretary Liu called up a few seconds of video, and said to Li Qiu very solemnly: "This is the last video we can find about Mr. Ye Yan appearing in the public eye. Please watch it carefully. It is very interesting here. May contain clues to his disappearance."

Li Qiu nodded, and secretly tugged Ah Jiu who was absent-minded from behind with his other hand, signaling Ah Jiu to come and see.

Ah Jiu yawned impatiently, but didn't walk away.

The clarity of the image is not high, it was taken by a comprehensive camera in a public place, and the picture in just a few seconds is full of dense crowds rushing through, and the heads of black and white people are crowded into a ball, and it is impossible to tell who is who. .

"This is... the train station? You mean, the last time you saw Ye Yan was at the train station in Beijing?"

Secretary Liu nodded solemnly: "To be precise, it was outside the ticket gate of the train station, so we still can't judge which train he took and where he went."

Then Secretary Liu pointed out an extremely inconspicuous person in the crowd. That person happened to look up, and his face happened to be captured by the camera.

"Look, this person is Ye Yan."

However, the flow of people at the train station was too terrifying. Ye Yan only stayed in the camera for a short two or three seconds before being rushed away by the crowd that followed.The time was too short, and the lens was too blurry. Even the clothes he was wearing at that time could not be clearly seen in such a fleeting scene.

Li Qiu thought for a while and said: "The real-name system is used to buy train tickets now, you have already reported to the police, shouldn't it be good to ask the police to check this video?"

Unexpectedly, Secretary Liu shook his head in frustration: "When Ye Yan ran away from home, he left his ID card and all important documents in the rental house, so he couldn't find them at all. In addition, there are a lot of scalpers stealing tickets at train stations. If he If you want to leave, you can do it even if you don’t have an ID card.”

Li Qiu frowned beautifully: "In this way, the clue has reached a dead end..."

A person without an identity document disappeared in a crowded train station, which connects all stations across the country. Ye Yan may go to any city, or get off at an unknown small station. The monitoring range of public places is after all. Limited, no one saw a trace of him again.

"Has Ye Yan ever said it before, such as the place he wants to go the most? Where is he most looking forward to traveling? After all, when he left, he knew that he would not live long. A person fulfilling his greatest wish before death, this There are too."

Secretary Liu sighed, opened another picture folder, and thousands of landscape pictures appeared in front of their eyes.Li Qiu was dumbfounded when he saw it - is this Ye Yan's dream?This - this is simply "Encyclopedia of Splendid Mountains and Rivers of China"!

"As you can see, Ye Yan likes traveling very much, so he collected so many landscape pictures carefully, and plans to spend his whole life looking at them one by one."

From south to north, from west to east, there are majestic mountains, endless grasslands, magnificent seas, antique historical relics, and various folk customs... The young Ye Yan once made a vow to travel all over the world in his lifetime. The great rivers and mountains of the country, and the humanistic landscape, is just such a wonderful and colorful dream, but it leaves infinite confusion for those who look for it.

Such a person disappears without a clue or direction.

Li Qiu smiled wryly again and again, "I finally know why this mission of finding people is worth 1000 million."
