On the north side of City H, the suburbs on the edge of the city, the not-so-wide streets are a bit messy, with people coming and going, not as orderly as the city center, but there are also many residents, a car that is not very eye-catching It is difficult to move in the crowd.

"How long will it take?" The face of the person sitting in the co-pilot is not very good-looking. Gu Mengping is a quick-witted person, and it has already taken a lot of time to drive all the way.Unfamiliar environments are often accompanied by unpredictable crises, and he doesn't think going abroad can shake off those tails.

"Young man, don't worry! I can't run over others!" The driver spoke fluent Chinese, but with a heavy accent.He seemed a little indifferent to Gu Mengping's urging.

Gu Mengping glanced at him, feeling cold, the driver couldn't help shivering, his eyes were so cold that he seemed to be choked by the throat, he kept silent, didn't dare to say more, just swallowed , looked nervously at Gu Mengping looking away, opened the car door, and the moment he walked down, the person sitting in the back seat followed him with his suitcase.

After stopping a tricycle, the man on the bike couldn't speak Chinese very well. Si Qingyang stepped in, and when he spoke the local language fluently, Gu Mengping was stunned for a moment, and didn't look at Gu Mengping's eyes. After the pedaling man nodded, Si Qingyang put his luggage in the back compartment and got into the car neatly.

"It's getting dark." He said lightly, but the meaning was obvious, he was urging Gu Mengping.

Gu Mengping looked at him, and suddenly laughed. He underestimated Si Qingyang, and didn't hesitate any longer. After getting into the car neatly, the guy pedaling in front began to move hard in the crowd. Changing cars is definitely a wise choice. Compared with the four-wheeled ones, this tricycle is more flexible in such a complicated place, and it takes only half an hour to send the two people to their destination.

After getting out of the car, the young man took the tip and left with a smile. Gu Mengping stood on the side of the road and looked up. In front of him was an inconspicuous small hotel. There are many such small hotels on this street. The charges are not very high. Although it is such a complicated place, there are actually quite a few guests.

Walking through some narrow wooden doors, the goal is a small alley-like place. The wooden stairs occupy most of the place. There is a small counter nearby. Sitting behind the counter is a 60-year-old old lady. He stared at them with cloudy eyes, but didn't intend to speak.

"Staying in the hotel, I made an appointment." I showed the reservation record on the mobile phone to the person at the front desk, but the person at the front desk didn't speak, took a bunch of keys from the wall behind him and threw them on the counter, and then ignored the two men, Gu Mengping He didn't care, he took Si Qingyang upstairs after seeing the room number on the key.

The wooden stairs were very loud, and the two people disappeared at the top of the stairs just after their heels passed. There were a few more people in front of the hotel counter. The two knocked on the table, and the old lady glanced at them and stretched out her hand , Waiting for a few seconds, there was a stack of banknotes in her hand, the amount was not small, the old lady didn't even look at it, she stuffed it directly into the drawer, took a bunch of keys from the wall and handed it over.

If you take a closer look, you will find that the number hanging on the key is exactly opposite to Gu Mengping's room.

After entering the door, the people behind immediately followed. The moment Gu Mengping turned around, Si Qingyang had already put down the suitcase in his hand, lying in front of the cat and staring outside. The sound insulation of the wooden attic is not good. Gu Mengping He didn't lean over, just stood there and meditated for a while.

The footsteps sounded a bit chaotic. It sounded like there were two people. I don’t know who sent them this time. They started following them after they left the airport, but I didn’t expect to follow them all the way without making a move. It shouldn’t be Otherwise, those people in the past would not have been able to endure it for so long.

"Don't look at it, it's useless to look at it. Those who should come will still come. Let's rest first and go out at night." Gu Mengping lay down after finishing speaking.

It didn't take long for Si Qingyang to feel his gradually steady breathing. He had a big heart and looked around the room that wasn't neat. People, he didn't lie on another bed, but sat on the only chair in the room, propped his head on one hand, and gradually fell into a light sleep.

The moment Gu Mengping woke up, Si Qingyang also woke up. After just over two hours of rest, both of them recovered half of their energy. After a casual grooming, Gu Mengping took Si Qingyang out. The person at the opposite door also followed immediately, one of the three stayed behind, opened the door secretly, walked into the room and looked around, the target landed in the box on the table, without the slightest hesitation, borrowed Under the moonlight, he opened the box and took a look. It was just some clothes, and there was nothing else. He closed the box in disappointment. He left the room lightly again, closed the door, and opened the box. The door was locked, and everything was still in place, without a trace of being tampered with.

After Gu Mengping took Si Qingyang out of the small hotel, he didn't rush for any goal. Instead, he walked around the street a few times, and settled for dinner by the way. The tail behind him was led by them to circle around in this complicated crowd. , but the two people behind didn't notice it. When they came back to their senses, they didn't know when they lost them. The crowd was surging, and the night market was even more lively. Looking for the target in the crowd, but it is not time-consuming and useless. Since Gu Mengping and Si Qingyang want to get rid of the two of them, how can it be so easy for people to follow up again.

In fact, Si Qingyang and Gu Mengping did not walk out of this chaotic place. It is very lively during the day and night, but the meaning of this lively is different. There are very few women and children walking around at night, and most people are in groups. There are groups, and occasionally there are two or two drunks on the side of the road. What is hidden under this bustle is nothing more than those shady transactions, and those dirty transactions in invisible alleys.

On the street, two bright red lanterns were hung at the door of a small building. Gu Mengping led Si Qingyang into the restaurant. There were many people eating in the restaurant.

In the corner of the restaurant, a small door was not conspicuous, but the two strong men at the door looked a little abrupt, as if they were guarding them. Si Qingyang and Gu Mengping walked over, made a gesture, and stuffed the After paying a sum of money, those two people squeezed the money, as if they didn't see the two people, and let them push the door open and walked in. Si Qingyang just stepped over the threshold, and the two people behind him immediately closed the door again up.

What appeared in front of Gu Mengping and Si Qingyang was a downward-facing staircase. I don’t know how deep it is. The two walked closely together on the dark staircase. Si Qingyang was taller than Gu Mengping. Gu Mengping, who was taller and walking in front, didn't see it. At this moment, he seemed to be protected by Si Qingyang in his arms. If there was danger, Si Qingyang could protect him immediately.

The expressions of both of them were a little nervous, and they didn't know whether this road was dangerous or not. It's better to be more vigilant in everything, but obviously, the two of them still thought too much, and nothing happened until the two of them walked to the end occur.

At the end of the stairs was another door. Gu Mengping frowned and pushed open the iron door. The moment the iron door opened, there was a stark contrast between the noisy and chaotic business and the silence in the corridor.

Behind the iron gate is a completely different world, which is even more chaotic than the ground. This is a casino where many drug addicts gather, and the air is full of unpleasant drugs.Taking in the smell of burning, Gu Mengping frowned, and stood quietly at the door. Before he could move, there was an old man in his 70s and [-]s in front of him, with his back bent, and he looked very old.

"Follow me." This sentence was spoken very clearly and fluently, without any accent.

Passing through some big casinos, Gu Mengping saw the person he wanted to see in a small room at the end. This was a man in his 40s, with an obvious scar on his left eye and a missing thumb on his left hand. Gu Mengping knew that This person is the person I want to find.

After the stooped old man left, there were only three of them left in the room. The other party glanced at Si Qingyang and then set his eyes on Gu Mengping.

"This is the information we collected here." The other party spoke first, and placed a photo in front of the desk of the two of them. After a while, Gu Mengping still saw clearly the picture on the photo.

In fact, Gu Mengping has seen the contents of this photo before. This is a photo of Si Qingyang, or the face painted with oil paint, but the difference is that this photo is more comprehensive. What I see is just a face, but in this photo is the whole body, and even the background behind it.

"I already have this photo. It's not a valuable clue." Gu Mengping sat down, looked at the person opposite and said in a deep voice. Obviously, he was not very satisfied with the result.

"No, what you see is only the surface. There is not much information in the incomplete photo you got, but the real information is hidden in this photo." The middle-aged man did not appear angry because of Gu Mengping's attitude, He looked very wet and calm.

"How?" Gu Mengping asked with a frown.

"Here's the point." Stretching out his left hand with the missing thumb, the calloused index finger pointed to the corner of the photo, where the sharp peaks were hidden.

"The name of this mountain is no stranger to you, Laoshan. I don't need to tell you where it is." The moment the middle-aged man spoke, Gu Mengping's face became a little complicated. Of course he knew this place, But it's not normal for Si Qingyang to appear in this place, and he's still wearing camouflage!

He felt that Si Qingyang's matter might be more complicated than he imagined!
