"Me?" Dong Qiangqiang looked confused, "I'm at home."
"At home? Oh, you didn't watch TV?"
"I don't have a TV at home." Dong Qiangqiang rubbed his eyes, "What's on the TV?"
"On the local news just now, someone called the police and reported that his apartment had been stolen, and that many things in his home were broken."
"What does that have to do with me?" Dong Qiangqiang became more and more confused. He yawned and prepared to lie down and sleep for a while.
"The person who called the police suspected that his roommate caused the accident. He also said that his roommate's name was 'JIN YUAN'."
"Jin Yuan?" Dong Qiangqiang woke up. "Is Jin Yuan there? What did the police say?"
"The police said they have started to search for Jin Yuan, but they have not been found. Another thing is quite strange. Recently, many Chinese classmates have been asked whether they have seen Jin Yuan at universities, train stations, or Asian supermarkets."
"Is it the police?"
"It doesn't seem like a police officer. I heard from other people that he seems to be from Southeast Asia. By the way, I think someone asked about it when we had dinner together last time."
After hearing what Lu Wei said, Dong Qiangqiang's mind immediately thought of what happened during that meal, and then he immediately thought of being followed when he went home. Could it be that the person following him was from the restaurant?
He thought again of the injury on his face when he saw Jin Yuan last time. Does he have any grudges with those Southeast Asians? But I've never heard him talk about it.
While Dong Qiangqiang was thinking, Lu Wei's hesitant voice came from the receiver: "I heard... someone seems to be asking you."
"Ask me?" Dong Qiangqiang was stunned, "Ask me what?"
"I don't know either. I also heard that someone was asking about you."
"Don't be kidding. I've been here for less than a week. Who knows me? They must have made a mistake." Dong Qiangqiang said in a joking tone.
"Well, it's true that not many people know you, but you are tall. People say that I need to find a taller person. Among Chinese students, I have never seen anyone taller than you."
Dong Qiangqiang suddenly remembered that he still held Jin Yuan's student ID card, and quickly took it out of his trouser pocket, took it in his hand, and looked at it carefully.
"Did you get into any trouble?" Lu Wei asked cautiously.
"Me? How is it possible?" Dong Qiangqiang felt guilty and he was not sure.
"I just want to remind you to be careful..." Lu Wei said with concern, "These things... are very strange."
"Well, thank you." Dong Qiangqiang said politely, "Is that all?"
"Oh, by the way, I remember you mentioned one thing when we had dinner last time, the APS certificate. I later asked a few friends about it, but none of them had heard of it."
"Oh, thank you." Dong Qiangqiang's tone was somewhat coping and seemed absent-minded.
Lu Wei's mood weakened, and she said tactfully: "Okay, I'll tell you if there is any news. You should also pay attention to your own safety."
After washing up, Dong Qiangqiang simply tidied up and went straight to Saturn Computer City.
It is said to be a computer city, but it only occupies the third or fourth floors of a large shopping mall. It is much smaller than Dragonsea and Silicon Valley in Zhongguancun.
Dong Qiangqiang looked around for a while. The computer brands he could choose were very limited, and the prices seemed much higher than in China. He made some calculations: He doesn't play games, he mainly reads news, stocks, studies online, and also watches domestic variety shows, which doesn't require any high configuration. Within a few minutes, he selected an old IBM notebook priced at 599 marks. The notebook configuration was not high and it felt heavy and heavy in his hand.
After picking out the computer, Dong Qiangqiang went to several broadband network service operators in the city center without stopping.
He remembered that before he went abroad, Beijing already had 1M per second broadband, but after looking at several German network operators, he found that the mainstream Internet mode in Germany was still dial-up Internet access, which made him slightly surprised. Compared with China, the only advantage is that there is no traffic limit.
Due to limited funds, Dong Qiangqiang had little choice. In the end, he chose an Internet provider with 512K per second and unlimited monthly traffic, and made an appointment to come to the home for installation at 10 a.m. the next day.
It was still far away from part-time work time. Dong Qiangqiang remembered what he had talked about with Lao Lei in the morning about learning to drive. On a whim, he walked around the city center looking for a driving school store.
Although the city center of Hannover is not very large, like the pedestrian streets of all developed cities, there are all kinds of shops, and driving schools are no exception.
As he walked, Dong Qiangqiang suddenly saw an eye-catching roll-up banner standing on the corner at the end of the road, with large red numbers written on it: A zero-based package only costs 999 marks. This was nearly 200 marks cheaper than other driving schools he had seen. He couldn't help but be overjoyed, and was about to open the door and walk in, when suddenly, the cell phone in his coat pocket vibrated rapidly.
The phone number showed that it was Jin Yuan. Dong Qiangqiang's heart moved, and he retracted the hand that pushed the door open.
He quickly walked to a remote corner and lowered his voice: "Jin Yuan?"
"Where are you?" Jin Yuan's voice came over the phone, sounding a little hoarse and tired.
Dong Qiangqiang wondered why Chinese students here like to ask where others are?
"I'm in the pedestrian street in the city center..." Dong Qiangqiang looked up at the name of the driving school and immediately added, "The entrance of the Shoemaker Driving School."
"Shoemaker driving school?" Jin Yuan sounded a little surprised, but immediately returned to his previous tone, "I have something... please help me."
Dong Qiangqiang's heart skipped a beat. The last person who said this borrowed 4,000 marks from him, although there were also reasons for this.
He was short of breath for a moment: "Um...what's the matter?"
"Let's meet and talk. There is a Gratitude Fountain in the pedestrian street, do you know?"
"Well, it's the one diagonally opposite the bank, right?"
"Yes. See you soon. Just wait for my call." Jin Yuan hung up the phone before Dong Qiangqiang could ask in detail.
After closing the phone, Dong Qiangqiang thought more and more something seemed wrong: Jin Yuan was so mysterious every time, as if he had some secret. He looked around cautiously and found no suspicious person.
He pushed open the door and walked into the registration office of the driving school.
"Hello!" A middle-aged German woman saw Dong Qiangqiang walking in the door and greeted him enthusiastically.
"Hello. I want to learn to drive." Dong Qiangqiang said straight to the point.
"No problem. You are very welcome. Please take a seat." The German aunt said as she stood up and poured water for Dong Qiangqiang.
While she was pouring water, Dong Qiangqiang observed the store: the room was about 20 square meters. In addition to the large glass window facing the street, one wall was covered with various business licenses, and the other wall was covered with various student certificates. photos and some certificates, and there is a print hanging on one wall.
The middle-aged woman put the water glass on the table, saw Dong Qiangqiang looking at the prints intently, and asked with a smile: "Is this your first time learning to drive?"
