Chen Tao really treated Yang Ning to a meal.
Just two bowls of braised noodles, a few vegetarian cold dishes, a plate of donkey meat, and a plate of shredded sheep tripe, which cost about 100 yuan.
I didn’t drink any wine, so I used sugar-free Coke instead.
Firstly, Yang Ning refused to drink, and secondly, Chen Tao had to go to the Songting Hotel in the afternoon to help the Cultural Relics Bureau dispose of the mummies.
After the meal, Chen Tao asked Yang Ning no less than five times, "When are you leaving?", but Yang Ning laughed and avoided him every time.
When the meal was almost finished, Chen Tao couldn't bear it anymore and had to let Yang Ning answer his questions head-on.
Yang Ning slowly took a sip of ice coke and said with a smile: "Team Chen..."
Chen Tao said seriously: "Well! You tell me, I'm listening!"
Yang Ning turned her head and glanced at the TV in the hotel that was playing the lunchtime news——
"An unexpected incident occurred at the Xia and Xiang Medical Exchange Expo scheduled to be held in Zhongzhou City, Central Plains Province next month."
"Irfan, the security consultant of Tianxiang Buddha State Santa Pharmaceutical Group, expressed concerns about the security situation in the Zhongzhou area."
Next, the camera on the news screen turned, and a man wearing a star-shaped suit and covered with green tattoos from his face to his neck appeared.
The man raised his head slightly, with an arrogant smile on his face, and said, "We heard that there have been two very bad security incidents in the Zhongzhou area over the Xia Kingdom recently."
"In both cases we saw safety concerns."
"In this regard, we hope that Xia Guo can change the location of the expo, preferably farther away from Zhongzhou."
Looking at the person speaking on the screen, Chen Tao turned to stare at Yang Ning and said, "Just in those few words, that person's eyelids jumped three times."
"His mental state is not as relaxed as he appears. He is fearful."
"The fear was so intense that he needed to be deliberately arrogant to avoid showing cowardice."
Listening to Chen Tao's analysis, Yang Ning praised: "As expected of Team Chen, he is awesome!"
Chen Tao looked back at the TV screen, but at this time the news had already reached the next one.
Looking back at Yang Ning, Chen Tao asked doubtfully: "That person, what is he afraid of?"
"In a city with tens of millions of people, two murders occurred, and that scared the Santa Group's security consultant?"
"This doesn't make sense..."
Yang Ning picked up a piece of donkey meat and put it into his mouth. He nodded and said, "Yeah, yes! It doesn't make sense! This donkey meat is so delicious!"
"It's best to stay away from Zhongzhou..." Chen Tao said. Suddenly, his eyes were filled with disbelief. He looked at Yang Ning and asked, "Isn't he afraid of you?"
"Did you scare him?! So he didn't dare to come?!"
Yang Ning had just swallowed the donkey meat in his mouth and picked up a piece of sheep tripe with chopsticks. His movement stopped in mid-air and he looked stunned: "Captain Chen, your ability to associate is getting richer and richer!"
"A security consultant for a large multinational company may have never heard of me. Are you afraid of me? Stop being ridiculous!"
Chen Tao had a look of understanding on his face, "Master Xiao Yang, you just said two more words, 'maybe'."
"These two words reveal your subconscious mind that there is a high probability that that person has heard of you."
Snapped!
Yang Ning pressed the chopsticks down, "Are you crazy?! You haven't covered your butt to warm it up yet you want to move again?!"
Chen Tao: "..."
"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables!"
...
After eating, the two of them dispersed.
Yang Ning went back to the hotel where he was staying, and Chen Tao went back to his car.
Sitting in his car was a man carrying a wooden sword, Li Bai.
As soon as Chen Tao got in the car, he said to Li Bai: "It's exactly as you guessed."
Li Bai nodded, looking like he was not surprised at all.
He picked up his mobile phone and sent a voice message: "It's basically confirmed that Yang Ning's next target is the foreign guests at the expo."
Chen Tao asked doubtfully: "How did you know?"
Li Bai handed him two newspapers, one from ten years ago and one from last week.
The headline on the newspaper from ten years ago was about a fire that broke out in Mingyue City, Caiyun Province.
The fire occurred in a five-star hotel where an expatriate communication team from a multinational medical company stayed that night.
That night, thirty-one people died in the fire, including several children.
But not one of the management team of the multinational company died.
In this newspaper, Chen Tao saw the name of the multinational company at a glance: Santa Group.
There are also several names of managers of the Santa Group as representatives.
While Chen Tao was reading the newspaper, Li Bai next to him said: "Team Chen, do you think the probability of a person working in a company for ten consecutive years is high?"
Chen Tao thought about it and said, "It's definitely not possible for a small company, but wouldn't it be unusual for a large group like Santa?"
Li Bai continued to ask: "What if there are forty-three people? There are forty-three Santa Group employees who went to this land on a business trip ten years ago. Ten years later, none of them will be here again. coming."
"In the past ten years, some of them voluntarily resigned and left Santa Group, some were fired, and some retired..."
"Various reasons have caused many of them to leave Santa Group."
"But just in the past year, these people have all returned to Santa Group and re-employed."
“There was even an old man in his sixties, who returned to Santa Group and resumed work on crutches and a sling bottle.”
Listening to Li Bai's calm description, Chen Tao's hands suddenly trembled.
At this time, he saw the second newspaper, which contained news that the two countries' medical expo would be held in Zhongzhou next month.
At the end of the news is attached a list of several Santa Group personnel mainly involved in the expo.
Chen Tao discovered that those names were completely consistent with the names at the end of the news in the newspaper ten years ago!
The newspaper made a slight shaking sound in Chen Tao's hand, because the several elements he collected were too dangerous!
Ten years ago!
Caiyun Province!
Children who died in the fire!
Chen Tao asked tremblingly: "Those children who died in the fire..."
"Did you guess it? Yes, that's right."
There was also a hint of fear in Li Bai's voice: "There is a boy who was abducted and trafficked to Caiyun in the same batch as Yang Ning. That boy's name is Wu Di."
"..."
After that, the car fell into silence for a long time.
Chen Tao murmured: "Why can all those forty-three people return to the Santa Group?"
"Someone forced them?"
Li Bai took a long breath and said in a deep voice: "Someone changed their luck, allowing them to gather together again after ten years and return to this land again."
"And it was very clear that the person wished they had stayed away this time."
...
