The ticket office at the ferry terminal is a postmodernist deconstructed building composed of three groups of brass alloy-colored rectangular buildings. The color is restrained and low-key. People who don’t know it will miss it by thinking it is a museum or art gallery.
What Dong Qiangqiang didn't expect was that Zhou Zhihai arrived at the dock before the agreed time. Different from last time, this time he looked relaxed and confident.
The other party's high-spirited look made Dong Qiangqiang excited. He seemed to have seen a glimmer of hope for Lao Bai, and hurriedly rushed towards him with Du Lan.
When Zhou Zhihai came over, he not only saw the box in Dong Qiangqiang's hand, but also Du Lan. His face visibly drooped, and the two sides asked Dong Qiangqiang aggressively even though they were five or six meters apart: "Why did you bring her here?"
Du Lan cursed quickly in his mind, but asked calmly on his face: "Are you afraid that I will report your shameful deeds?"
"Du Lan!" Dong Qiangqiang objected softly.
Zhou Zhihai snorted coldly and asked knowingly, "Did you bring the money?"
Dong Qiangqiang shook the money box in his hand, and there was a loud banging sound inside. In Zhou Zhihai's ears, there was no more beautiful sound than this.
"Tell me, what have you found?" Du Lan asked, suppressing his nervousness. She was not as optimistic as Dong Qiangqiang, and was worried that Zhou Zhihai would answer that he had not found anything.
The wind on the river bank was very strong, and the colorful flags on the roadside were blown by the wind. It seemed that they would break away from the arms of the flagpole at any time and fall into the embrace of the wind.
"He has been to more than a dozen islands," Zhou Zhihai put a cigarette in his mouth, "five of them are very likely."
"More than a dozen islands?" Du Lan glanced at Dong Qiangqiang, "Are they the 14 islands in the city or..."
"It's not the main island." Zhou Zhihai blew smoke at Du Lan angrily, with a smirk on his face, "They are all islands."
Dong Qiangqiang and Du Lan looked at each other and took a breath of cold air at the same time. Sure enough, the more they were afraid of, the more likely they would come.
"That's not what you promised me last time," Dong Qiangqiang frowned, "I said, you have to tell me which island Lao Bai is on before he can get the money."
"Except for Lao Chen, I'm afraid no one knows where Lao Bai is." Zhou Zhihai shrugged, "And I suspect that even he may not remember which island he threw Lao Bai on. I can find five, which is enough. You, do you know how much money and effort I spent to find this information?"
"Didn't you help him throw Lao Bai to the island?" Du Lan questioned, "How could you not know?"
"Du, I warn you to be careful what you say!" Zhou Zhihai flicked the cigarette he had just taken a few puffs at Du Lan's face. Du Lan deftly turned his head to avoid the cigarette butt, "Sweden is governed by law. In society, if you make a false accusation, you will go to jail. If you want to trick me, I swear that neither of you will get anything good."
Du Lan stared head-on into Zhou Zhihai's eyes, with no fear on his face.
Zhou Zhihai stared at Du Lan with sinister eyes for a long time, then suddenly turned around and shouted loudly: "Dong Qiangqiang, do you still want to do this business?"
Dong Qiangqiang knew very well that in this case, if he did not buy the information in Zhou Zhihai's hands, it would depend on the search and rescue capabilities of the Swedish police and Lao Bai's luck. Of course, even if he buys the information, he may not be able to find Lao Bai. Maybe he can only reduce the search scope of the Swedish police. This is still an ideal situation, but no one knows how much it can be reduced. Although he was quick-witted, there was nothing he could do at this time.
After pondering for a long time, Dong Qiangqiang looked at the rows of ferries docked on the shore, ready to go, and finally nodded heavily.
Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang finally gave in, Zhou Zhihai smiled obscenely and hooked the money box in Dong Qiangqiang's hand in the air with his index finger: "Bring it here."
He was about to hand the cash box to Zhou Zhihai when Du Lan grabbed his arm and said, "Wait a minute."
"Hey, it turns out you are a coward who can't make a decision?" Seeing Dong Qiangqiang being blocked by Du Lan, Zhou Zhihai raised the corner of his mouth and said sarcastically, "You should have said it earlier if you couldn't make a decision. You're wasting my precious time with this bullshit. , Silly*..." He cursed in an unclean manner.
Dong Qiangqiang ignored his provocation and turned his head to the other side. Du Lan asked bluntly: "You said there are five islands that are the most suspicious. How do we know that you didn't just name a few islands to fool us?"
"Du, that's pretty much it. Do I have to go through so much trouble to deceive you? Are your pig brains worth the trouble?" Zhou Zhihai took out an envelope from his bag with a look of disdain and put it in The two of them waved lightly in front of them, "Did you see it? This is the GPS record of all the islands that Lao Chen went out to, issued by the speedboat rental company. I spent a lot of money to get it."
Seeing the envelope in Zhou Zhihai's hand, Dong Qiangqiang's eyes suddenly lit up.
"I can't trust him." Du Lan leaned next to Dong Qiangqiang and whispered to Dong Qiangqiang in a low voice with his back to Zhou Zhihai, "Be careful of fraud."
Seeing Du Lan and Dong Qiangqiang whispering something, Zhou Zhihai lit another cigarette for himself, looked up to the sky and muttered to himself: "Don't think that I am begging you for this. What we talked about last time was that I provided you with possible places. Find someone, I'm not a god, how can I promise you that you will find it? It's freezing now, you have time to talk nonsense with me, aren't you worried that Lao Bai will make a mistake? Turn around because you are wasting time talking nonsense here , Lao Bai died of starvation, freezing, thirst, or being carried away by an animal, wouldn’t you regret it?”
Dong Qiangqiang no longer hesitated, patted Du Lan's hand gently, and finally handed over the cash box.
Zhou Zhihai hurriedly put the cigarette in his mouth, took the cash box with one hand and handed the envelope to Dong Qiangqiang with a smile.
Just when he was about to take over the cash box completely, Dong Qiangqiang grabbed his wrist and threatened him righteously: "If you lie to me, I will make you walk away without food."
The moment Zhou Zhihai's wrist was caught, he wanted to turn his wrist to change the passive situation. In the past few months, he had specially trained his arm and wrist strength, and he was confident that he could beat Dong Qiangqiang.
Unexpectedly, after not seeing each other for several months, Dong Qiangqiang's hand became stronger than the last time they met. Zhou Zhihai secretly struggled, knowing that he had no chance of winning.
Dong Qiangqiang thought that the opponent would fight to the death, so he added secret strength in his hands. Unexpectedly, the opponent suddenly gave up his strength after trying once and failed, as if giving up resistance.
"His time..." Zhou Zhihai lowered his head and pursed his lips at Dong Qiangqiang's watch, "There is not much left."
Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help being startled when he heard this. Zhou Zhihai took advantage of the situation and snatched the cash box from Dong Qiangqiang's hand. He threw the cigarette to the ground angrily, opened the box quickly, quickly counted the money inside, and then Close the box, turn around and walk away.
"You two searched carefully and found it. I wish Lao Bai a speedy recovery." Zhou Zhihai's gloating voice floated back from a distance.
Du Lan stared at his back with disgust: "Do you believe what this scumbag says?"
"Would you rather believe that it's not what you said?" Dong Qiangqiang quickly pulled out the contents of the envelope, and frowned while flipping through it quickly, "There are too many islands, and they are all big islands. We must call the police immediately."
"What if, I mean what if, Lao Bai is not found or he dies in the end, what are you going to do?" Du Lan asked quietly, looking at the dazzling sunlight reflected on the surface of the floating ice in the river.
Dong Qiangqiang was shocked, and the printing paper in his hand fell silently.
