"Long time no see, Dong Qiangqiang. How are you?"
When Lao Chen's slightly sinister voice sounded in Dong Qiangqiang's ears, he felt that the air around him instantly became as thick as thick paste, making him unable to breathe. He reflexively asked: "Where are you? Where is Lao Bai?"
"Thanks to you, he is still alive." Old Chen's smile revealed a sinister look, "Are you ready with the money and things?"
The chorus of dozens of people sounded again in the distance. Dong Qiangqiang was worried that he could not hear what Old Chen said clearly, and he was also afraid that Old Chen could not hear his own words. He turned around and threw the coffee cup in his hand directly into the trash can, then opened the door and entered the mall. , while looking for Du Lan in the mall, he cautiously replied: "I'm ready with the money, but I have to know whether Lao Bai is still alive."
The warm air supply in the shopping mall was sufficient. Dong Qiangqiang felt like summer in his thick down jacket. In less than a minute, sweat appeared on his forehead. He didn't know if Lao Chen would reject him, so he waited nervously and tangledly for the other party's response.
Lao Chen seemed to have anticipated Dong Qiangqiang's request. He smiled. After more than ten seconds, there was a buzzing sound from the receiver, and a familiar voice came from the receiver. "it's me."
Although Lao Bai's voice sounded weak and exhausted, hearing Lao Bai's voice again after a month made Dong Qiangqiang, who had assumed that Lao Bai was dead, couldn't help but be surprised.
"Is it really you, Lao Bai? Are you still alive?" Dong Qiangqiang shouted impatiently, "Where are you? We are all worried about you."
"You still have some breath..." Before Lao Bai finished speaking, there was a plop on the phone, and then Lao Chen said: "You have heard what you need to hear, and do as I say. Have you called the police?" ?”
Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Lao Bai could still answer his questions. Although the call between the two was extremely short, he immediately realized two things: what Lao Chen played was not a recording, and Lao Bai was conscious.
"I didn't call the police." Dong Qiangqiang lied, "How can I give you the money?"
"Don't play tricks. Wait for my news." After saying this, Lao Chen hung up the phone without any explanation.
Dong Qiangqiang originally wanted to hold Lao Chen off and ask Du Lan to seize the time to call the police. Unexpectedly, the other party was very cunning and disappeared again within three minutes of speaking. Moreover, the mall was full of women going crazy shopping, and he couldn't find Du Lan at all.
It was not until five minutes later that Dong Qiangqiang saw Du Lan in the long queue in front of the checkout counter. He shouted and waved, and Du Lan immediately walked towards him.
"I saw that this windbreaker was in your size and I wanted to buy it for you." Du Lan said as he raised the clothes in his hand to Dong Qiangqiang's shoulders and compared them with each other. He said with satisfaction, "You are so good at buying clothes. .”
"Lao Bai is still alive." Dong Qiangqiang's mood gradually calmed down. He looked at Du Lan's face and said calmly, "Lao Chen just called me, and I also spoke to Lao Bai."
The smile on Du Lan's face faded rapidly like the ebbing waves. She hung her windbreaker on the hanger nearby and pulled Dong Qiangqiang to a remote corner.
"What did he say?" Du Lan looked more nervous than Dong Qiangqiang.
"I didn't say anything. He just asked me if I had prepared my things and money. I was afraid that saying I didn't have enough money would be detrimental to Lao Bai, so I said I was ready. After hearing Lao Bai's voice, he hung up in a hurry and didn't follow me. When I mentioned my account number, they didn’t tell me where to pay to pick up the person, so I thought he would call me again soon.”
"You're not listening to Lao Bai's recording, are you?" Du Lan worried, "I heard that some Japanese tape recorders can record very well..."
"I asked Lao Bai a question, and Lao Bai answered it. It shouldn't be a lie." After finishing speaking, Dong Qiangqiang thought about what happened just now, and said firmly, "It is impossible for the recording to think of my question in advance."
"Then what are you going to do now?" Du Lan asked, "If he gives you the account number, are you going to transfer money directly?"
"Definitely not allowed to remit money, must trade face to face. His goal is money, and Lao Bai will be safe if he gets the money." Dong Qiangqiang seemed to be analyzing to Du Lan, and also suggesting to himself, but he was not too serious about his words. Be sure, Lao Chen is a crazed mad dog. Dong Qiangqiang can't predict his next move at all, not to mention that he doesn't have enough money at all.
"What if the face-to-face transaction is not good for you?" Du Lan looked worried, "People with no bottom line like this can do anything. How about we call the police now? Can't the police locate the cell phone? That way Do you know where he called from?"
"He just made a call using an Internet phone, and the time was very short. If the next call is like this, I'm not sure the police can locate his location. You can use your mobile phone to call the police now and let the police monitor my mobile phone. If If he calls me again, the police will start looking for him immediately."
After receiving Du Lan's call for help, the German police immediately locked Dong Qiangqiang's mobile phone and arranged for police officers to check Lao Zhang's movements. At the same time, they told Dong Qiangqiang to delay talking to the other party as much as possible to facilitate police phone tracking.
Worried that Lao Chen would call again at any time, Dong Qiangqiang and Du Lan lost all interest in shopping. Both of them were a little frustrated, especially Dong Qiangqiang, who was afraid of receiving a call from Lao Chen but also looked forward to receiving a call soon. His mood was very contradictory.
Thirty minutes passed, and Lao Chen still had nothing to say. Dong Qiangqiang and Du Lan took turns going to the bathroom to wash their faces, and then reviewed the lines Dong Qiangqiang was going to say, which made them feel more at ease.
Another hour later, the mall was close to closing time, but Lao Chen did not call again. Although Dong Qiangqiang was unwilling to give in, he had no choice but to leave the mall.
Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang was a little distracted, Du Lan suggested that he simply go home and wait. Anyway, the Christmas market would be open again the next day, so there was no rush to go shopping.
After returning home angrily, the two of them continued to wait with big eyes open, waiting from eight o'clock until nine o'clock, and then from nine o'clock to ten o'clock, until Christmas Eve passed, and there was no call from Lao Chen.
During this period, the police called first, saying that there was no one at Lao Zhang's residence, and it seemed that he was not in Germany.
"Do you think he is deliberately playing tricks on me?" Dong Qiangqiang was concerned and confused, "Does he not want money at all?"
"This amount of money is not a small amount. I think he will definitely contact you again." Although he was very sleepy, but the unique patience of women told Du Lan that getting angry at this time would not help, so he could only persuade Dong Qiangqiang: " How about we rest first? Maybe he will fight again tomorrow."
Dong Qiangqiang knew that Du Lan's suggestion was right, so he could only scold Lao Chen a few times, and went to the kitchen dejectedly holding his sleeping bag.
Dong Qiangqiang, who got into his sleeping bag, was still tossing and turning, counting sheep until two o'clock before falling asleep.
While he was in a daze, Dong Qiangqiang was woken up by thirst and felt as if his mouth was on fire. He endured the low temperature and jumped out of his sleeping bag. He held the faucet and drank several large gulps before he felt that he could extinguish the flame in his mouth.
After drinking water, Dong Qiangqiang suddenly woke up a lot, and now he couldn't sleep anymore. He simply wrapped his sleeping bag around him and moved a stool to sit in front of the window.
The sound insulation effect of the kitchen window is very good, and there is no sound at all inside and outside the house, making this confined space even more quiet.
Due to snowfall for days, a thin layer of ice formed on the window glass, making the originally transparent glass look like frosted glass, making everything look a little distorted. Through the thin ice, Dong Qiangqiang vaguely saw the ice picks hanging from the eaves outside the house, as well as the snowflakes flying in the dim light of the street lamps.
He thought blankly for a while about his experience after coming to Germany, and it became more and more incredible. After a while, his eyelids began to fight again, and the thick sleepiness swallowed him up again.
He was about to lie down again when the cell phone screen on the dining table suddenly lit up. The claustrophobic green backlight looked particularly breathtaking in the dark night.
