"Zhou Zhihai." Whether because of surprise or excitement, Du Lan's crisp voice sounded trembling.
"Does he know where Lao Bai is?" Dong Qiangqiang felt puzzled, but the few handfuls of cold water in the bathroom just now had a refreshing effect, making him instantly think of Zhou Zhihai's inexplicable disappearance from the stairwell that night, but how could he? Do you know where Lao Chen hid Lao Bai? Could it be that there is something going on between him and Lao Chen? Or are they just the same person?
More questions made Dong Qiangqiang quickly calm down. He pulled Du Lan away from the bathroom door to a secluded place, and asked in a low voice: "What did he say?"
"He didn't say much in detail. He just said that he knew Lao Bai's whereabouts and wanted to meet and talk with us." Du Lan stared into his eyes and calmly recalled the conversation she had just had with Zhou Zhihai. "He said that he mainly wanted to talk to us. You talk."
"Talk to me?" Dong Qiangqiang frowned, "What to talk about? Where to talk? Is it just him or are there others?"
"He said that if you want to talk, come to this place to meet him in the evening." Du Lan said as he handed a napkin to Dong Qiangqiang. There was an address crookedly written on the napkin. It must have been written by Du Lan in a hurry. , "I wasn't sure if you wanted to go, so I didn't answer him directly. He said he would call again later. Do you want to go?" Her face turned red with anxiety.
"I don't understand how he knew about Lao Bai, but I remember clearly that he hit you when we first met, then deliberately drove away our car on the highway, and later smashed my rental car. His car was driven by tourists when he was leading a group and he was discovered by tourists." Dong Qiangqiang said through gritted teeth, "For such a person who can do any bad thing, can you believe his words? Could it be that he is talking nonsense?"
"I didn't believe it at first, but he said..." Du Lan seemed hesitant to speak, "He reminded me on the train."
"Did I remind you?" Dong Qiangqiang smacked his lips at this sentence for a few seconds before suddenly remembering it and lost his voice, "He was the one who knocked on our door that night?"
Du Lan nodded first and then shook his head: "I don't know either, but no other person knows about this except you and I, so it's unlikely that he knows about it by chance."
"If he didn't know it by chance, then there is only one possibility." Dong Qiangqiang looked at Du Lan meaningfully but did not say the second half of the sentence.
"Yes, I think so too." Du Lan said what Dong Qiangqiang had not finished saying, "He may be one of the accomplices who kidnapped Lao Bai, and there may be other accomplices as well."
"Since this is the case, what are you waiting for? Let's call the police first and then go see him. Then let him talk to the police directly." Dong Qiangqiang made a decision quickly.
"Don't worry yet." Du Lan stopped, "He has already said that if he is caught by the police, he guarantees that no one will be able to find Lao Bai. He also said that the police will not be able to convict him and he can find an alibi."
Hearing Du Lan's story, Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help but take a breath. After a long silence, he asked Du Lan for the second time: "Do you believe what he said?"
"I would rather believe it." Du Lan raised his voice, "You think, if he didn't take the initiative to say this, we wouldn't know that he was involved. He is actually safe, but he took the initiative to admit it, which is very embarrassing. Maybe it's for..."
"Money." Dong Qiangqiang understood Du Lan's subtext immediately, "Do you think there is a possibility that after Lao Chen decided to break up the vote, Zhou Zhihai, as an accomplice, was unwilling to not get the money, so they had internal strife?"
"Based on my understanding of Zhou Zhihai, he can do such a thing, but this is just my guess, not necessarily the truth." Du Lan did not dare to give Dong Qiangqiang too much hope, because the greater the hope, the more disappointment. As she grew older, she was worried that Dong Qiangqiang's spirit would not be able to withstand the successive blows.
Du Lan's words made Dong Qiangqiang fall into deep thought, but before he could make a decision, Du Lan's cell phone started ringing happily.
Du Lan showed the phone screen to Dong Qiangqiang, and the caller displayed on it was Zhou Zhihai. She put the phone to her ear: "It's me."
"What did he say?" Zhou Zhihai's slightly proud voice came from the phone. Dong Qiangqiang reached out and grabbed the phone: "I can see you. What time? Where?"
"Hey, it's a great honor for Mr. Dong to answer the phone in person." Zhou Zhihai said in a deep tone, "I gave you the address. You can go there now. I'll call you later." After that, he quickly hung up the phone. Dong Qiangqiang returned the phone to Du Lan: "They are indeed accomplices, and they hang up the phone at the same speed."
"When will you two meet?" Du Lan blinked and asked the question he was most concerned about, "I didn't hear him say the time."
"He really didn't say it, but I think he should be there by now." Dong Qiangqiang tilted his head and looked at the address on the napkin, "Let's leave immediately after eating."
"Where's the police?" Du Lan looked at Dong Qiangqiang worriedly, "Do you still want to inform them?"
"Listen to what he says first and then see if you should call the police, otherwise it will be useless." Dong Qiangqiang lowered his head and looked at his watch, "I'm going to see how we can get there."
After Dong Qiangqiang checked the local traffic map, he discovered that the meeting address given by Zhou Zhihai was located at a garden attraction in the Old Town of Stockholm, and the Old Town was on an island. In addition to the well-preserved medieval ancient buildings on the island, there are also a number of places of interest such as palaces, churches, prime minister's offices, parliaments, courts and museums. When the weather is good, you can walk there from the train station, or you can also take a bus. . But it was getting late now. If Dong Qiangqiang and Du Lan wanted to arrive as soon as possible, the fastest way was to take a car across a bridge and a small island called Helgende.
Dong Qiangqiang's heart, which had sunk to the bottom of the sea, floated to the surface again because of Zhou Zhihai's phone call. He didn't want to delay for a minute, bought the ticket quickly, and took Du Lan with him to get on the bus to the old city. .
Since it was still Christmas vacation, there were not many people on the bus. After feeling the strong ups and downs of Dong Qiangqiang's emotions, Du Lan gently took his hand, leaned his head on his shoulder, and naturally cast his gaze towards the city covered in ice and snow in the night.
"Stockholm means wooden island in Swedish." Dulan said softly, "According to legend, this island was often attacked by pirates a long time ago. Later, people consumed a lot of wood in order to resist the invasion of pirates. , especially the giant trees, turned this island into an impregnable fortress. As the number of pirates repelled by this fortress increased, the name of the wooden island in the world gradually became known to the world. Because Sweden remained neutral in World War II, Therefore, most of the buildings in this country have been spared from the damage of the war. Look at the old houses on both sides of the bridge. Do they resemble the style of German architecture? It is said that many buildings were built with the help of Germans, but the Swedes have always None of them admit it. The old city we are going to soon has a history of more than 700 years. Although it cannot be compared with many historic buildings in China, it can be seen in Europe. "
Dong Qiangqiang had been tired for a day, and his eyelids were a little twitchy. Du Lan's words were like a lullaby, slowly relaxing his tense nerves.
Seeing Dong Qiangqiang gradually relax, Du Lan continued: "The urban area of Stockholm is made up of 14 large and small islands interconnected by bridges. They can be connected by land or water. It can be called a veritable 'island city', which is similar to Germany's famous Seven Islands in the North Sea. The island is very similar to the Cinque Terre in Italy. Let’s go to these places together in the future?”
But Dong Qiangqiang didn't hear Du Lan's question. He had already fallen asleep without knowing it.
