No one answered the phone. Dong Qiangqiang closed the phone angrily, bought another Coke, and walked out of McDonald's quickly.
The earliest Hanover Railway Station was built between 1845 and 1847. After several renovations and expansions, it became one of the important hubs of the German railway system. During World War II, after the Allies relentlessly bombed the city of Hannover, the train station was reduced to rubble. But for the German people who love architecture, rebuilding the railway station is not difficult.
Beginning in June 1945, the reconstruction work of Hannover Railway Station began. From the 1960s to the 1990s, with the overall recovery of German industrial manufacturing, the reconstruction work of Hannover Railway Station has never completely stopped.
In order to prepare for the World Expo held in Hannover in June 2000, Hannover Railway Station underwent the first important comprehensive renovation in the new century. After the reconstruction, Hannover Railway Station not only has bookstores, toy stores, beverage shops, clothing stores, fast food restaurants and other entertainment and leisure places, there is even a small cinema in a corner of the train station.
While Dong Qiangqiang looked at the history of Hannover Railway Station on the wall, he thought about where he could spend the night tonight.
He unknowingly walked into a bookstore, which was about 50 square meters in size. In a prominent position at the entrance of the bookstore were mainstream German newspapers, as well as various best-selling books from Germany, Europe and the United States. Walking a few steps further inside, professional and business books from all walks of life fill several walls of bookshelves, making it dizzying.
Dong Qiangqiang accidentally saw a set of familiar Japanese comics in a corner of the bookshelf. He had been looking for this set of comics for a long time in China but could not buy them. He did not expect to find them in a bookstore in a foreign country. He picked up one of them excitedly, excitedly searching for the stories in his memory.

Jin Yuan woke up from pain.
He felt his forehead and face were burning. He tried hard to open his eyes, but his left eye could only be opened slightly, and his right eyebrow and right eye were covered with some sticky liquid. Although he could open his eyes, he could not see clearly the situation in front of him. .
The bridge of his nose was broken, both nostrils were wet, and a ball of towel was stuffed in his mouth. He struggled to sit up on the ground, but found that his hands were tied behind his back, and his ribs on the left side were moving. I immediately felt a sharp pain in my lower body.
He twisted his body a few times and leaned as much as possible against the wooden box next to him. He sat up little by little, then lowered his head and rubbed the blood on his forehead and face on the cardboard box next to him, so that he could absorb as much blood as possible. See your surroundings clearly.
Dim white light leaked in little by little from the cracks in the door panel and fell in front of his legs. Although he couldn't see clearly yet, he already recognized that he was currently in the wooden house in the backyard of the restaurant.
He tried to calm himself down, listening to the noise outside the cabin and carefully observing the furnishings in the cabin. Occasionally he would hear one or two sounds of the back door opening and closing and people walking around, but no one came to see him.
His eyes roamed around the wooden house, and suddenly he saw metal shelves with cardboard boxes. He immediately lowered his body, twisted his body like a snake and crawled over. He leaned against the metal shelf and sat up little by little. The pain in his ribs became more and more painful. His ribs were pinching his flesh outwards like pliers. Tears and sweat beads mixed together, slowly sliding down his cheeks, and finally flowed into his mouth mixed with blood stains.
He did not dare to delay, and immediately rubbed the rope that tied his hands against the angular place on the metal shelf. At first, he did not dare to use too much force because he was afraid of making a sound, but the rubbing was too small and seemed to have no effect on the rope. What's the impact? It's still quiet outside the wooden house. Maybe there are more people in the restaurant and the old chef can't spare the time to interrogate himself. Thinking of this, he tensed up and rubbed hard. The friction made his hand tighter, and the rope at his wrist dug deeply into his flesh, slowly oozing blood.

Feeling uneasy, Dong Qiangqiang casually turned over a dozen pages and put the book back on the shelf.
He walked around the bookstore twice more, bought a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, and then walked out of the bookstore slowly.
He was about to light up a cigarette when he suddenly saw an oversized poster posted on the wall next to him. On the poster, a little blond girl faced a man who was about to smoke (probably his father) and crossed her hands to make a forbidden gesture. A line of big red words at the bottom of the poster is particularly eye-catching: No smoking in public places! Violators will be fined!
Dong Qiangqiang strolled out of the side door of the train station, took out his mobile phone and was about to call Jin Yuan again when he heard a female voice not far away saying in Chinese: "I have arrived at the train station, when will you pick me up?"
Suddenly hearing the local accent, Dong Qiangqiang suddenly felt very friendly. He subconsciously looked around and saw a girl standing on her cell phone a dozen meters away in front of him and to his left.
She has neat shoulder-length curly hair, bangs hanging gently on one side of her forehead, a pair of innocent big eyes shining under her long and thin eyebrows, and a pair of rimless round glasses on the bridge of her nose. The slight baby fat makes her long face look softer. Wearing a long khaki windbreaker, she accentuated her slender figure. There was a small brown bag slung on his shoulder, and a small golden suitcase stood beside him.
The other party looked like a new classmate like Dong Qiangqiang.
Dong Qiangqiang watched the girl while smoking, and at the same time called Jin Yuan's cell phone again. But until he finished smoking, no one answered Jin Yuan's cell phone.
Could this guy take the money and run away? Dong Qiangqiang thought to himself: Because they are both classmates in the same language class and are of similar age, the two of them are relatively close. The house price he quoted to himself was 900 marks a month. He remitted 3,600 marks to him as four months' rent, and also paid him 100 marks for hard work. The total was 3,700 marks, based on the exchange rate of 1:3.8. I paid him more than 14,000 yuan inside and outside.
Could it be that he is a liar? Dong Qiangqiang felt a little unsure.
While he was thinking about it, the girl suddenly shouted into the phone: "Chen Dahu! You are a bastard!"
The place where the two stood was located at the northeast side entrance of the train station. Except for Dong Qiangqiang, who was smoking, and the girl, no one else passed by. Her fierce shouting really startled Dong Qiangqiang. He saw the girl angrily stuffing her mobile phone into Kun's bag, looking anxiously to the other side of the road, then suddenly pulling up her suitcase, and walking quickly across the road towards the darkness. Walk down the street.
Dong Qiangqiang put out the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can. Just as he was about to turn around and walk into the train station, he suddenly saw two black figures, one tall and one short, jumping up from a car in the distance. Through the moonlight and the light near the train station, Dong Qiangqiang looked at Two black figures quietly flashed into the street where the girl just walked into.
Dong Qiangqiang's hand paused on the handle of the glass door for a moment. He hesitated, then suddenly turned around and walked quietly into the darkness.
