Because of the clues provided by Jiang Yao, Chen Yanbei added another direction to his investigation.
Unfortunately, Zhong Yi sent people to search in Xiangjiang for several days, but could not even see Gao Qianying's shadow.
Zhong Yi came back to plead guilty: "Master, I'm sorry, we have not found Miss Gao's whereabouts, and there are no records of her coming and going at the airport or ferry. She seems to have disappeared from the world of Xiangjiang."
evaporation? Chen Yanbei didn't believe it, but this just showed that there was someone behind Gao Qianying helping her, otherwise her whereabouts would not have been hidden so well.
Chen Yanbei had a cold face and tapped his fingers on the desk: "Since we can't find Gao Qianying, let's keep an eye on the insurance companies and banks. For such a large claim, she has to go to the insurance company to sign for confirmation, even if You have to go to the bank in person to withdraw money. In addition, Uncle Gao will continue to check."
Chen Yanbei did not interfere with the insurance company's claim settlement. Fishing had to be baited, but he did not believe that Gao Qianying could keep calm with such a large sum of money.
At this moment, Gao Qianying, who was being searched everywhere, had successfully arrived in Guangdong City.
The insurance company's claim settlement process would take more than a month. She thought of going to the mainland first to investigate Jiang Yao's details, so that she could get the claim payment when she returned to Xiangjiang.
After arriving in Guangdong City, Gao Qianying dragged her exquisite suitcase and rushed to the airport, planning to fly to Jiangshi.
As a result, when we arrived at the ticket center of Guangdong Airport, we found out that there was no air connection to Jiang City, so we could only go there by train, and it was a crowded green train.
She immediately cursed in her mind: "It's really a remote place, there isn't even an airplane!"
But there was no other way, so she had to accept her fate and rush to Guangdong Railway Station.
Guangdong Railway Station.
Although Gao Qianying's social status in Xiangjiang is not high, she has lived in a big city for so many years and studied in the United States. There is a sense of superiority in her dress and gestures.
The so-called poor family has a rich road. Not only does she have a bulging pocket, but she also dresses up specially when going out:
The upper part of the body was a red polka-dot silk shirt with a pleated skirt. The hem of the shirt was tied in a knot at the waist. He was wearing a pair of red high heels and a brown leather bag slumped over his shoulders. He was very popular among the gray-faced people at the train station. garish.
She bought a sleeper berth. On long-distance trains, people in the same carriage like to chat and strike up conversations.
Gao Qianying was wearing eye-catching clothes. After getting on the bus, someone in the same compartment spoke to her: "Hey, comrade, where are you from? Are you going home to Jiangshi this time or something?"
"Looking at your age, are you married?"
People of that era didn't have a strong sense of propriety, and they liked to ask questions when chatting.
This made Gao Qianying, who was accustomed to American culture, very uncomfortable. She raised her eyebrows and looked at the other person's clothes: a Doliang floral shirt with trousers, and handmade cloth shoes at her feet.
The way he was dressed showed that he was not someone with money or status. There was a flash of disdain in her eyes, and she naturally had no intention of talking to him.
She took out a pair of sunglasses from her purse and put them on, her lips slightly drooped, her expression extremely cold.
Sure enough, seeing her in this posture, no one dared to come forward and talk to her.
When we arrived at the stop, it was the hotel.
People in the same carriage began to take out various kinds of food from their bags, such as steamed buns, eggs, bacon and dried pickles. The small space was filled with the aroma of all kinds of food.
There are even characters who enthusiastically share their food with each other.
Gao Qianying glanced at the simple food with disdain, got up and left the carriage, and soon came in with a box lunch.
The fragrant twice-cooked pork with tomatoes and eggs, a meat and a vegetable set menu costs five yuan. For most long-distance travelers, eating such a box lunch is still a bit reluctant.
But converted to the consumption level in Xiangjiang, it is almost the same as picking it up for free, so Gao Qianying bought it without any psychological burden.
She held the lunch box and sat down at the dining table. Then she pushed the sunglasses on the bridge of her nose to the top of her head, lowered her head and ate slowly. She ate a portion of the box lunch with the momentum of a Western meal.
The lunch box was affordable and large. Gao Qianying couldn't eat any more after eating half of it, so she threw it into the trash can.
It was such a waste to see the passengers in the same carriage gasping for breath.
Gao Qianying looked at the distressed eyes of the people around her and smiled in her heart. A group of country bumpkins couldn't afford a five-yuan lunch box. If they didn't care about their face, they would be eager to pick up her leftovers from the trash can, right? What a shame!
After eating, everyone went back to bed and lay down one after another.
Gao Qianying also climbed onto the bed and lay down.
She was so tired from traveling these past two days that more than six hours had passed since she woke up after taking a nap.
She rubbed her eyes and habitually reached for the small leather bag lying beside her.
With this touch, she suddenly woke up!
Where is her bag?
Gao Qianying sat up and looked around the bed. It was empty, with no sign of a leather bag at all!
All the belongings she brought to the mainland were put in her purse. What if she lost them?
She immediately became furious, climbed out of bed with a bang, and questioned the people in the carriage:
"Which of you stole my bag? Hand it over to me immediately, or I will call the police immediately!"
Seeing that no one came forward to admit it, she continued:
"Look at how poor you are, you've already been eyeing my purse, right? It's really despicable to care about others when you can't afford it!"
After being scolded inexplicably, the passengers who had no intention of paying attention to her stood up one after another and surrounded her to condemn her:
"Who are you calling a slut?! Don't think that just because you are dressed like a 5-year-old or a 6-year-old, you can accuse someone unfairly. Who cares about your shabby bag!"
"Yeah, you didn't take it seriously yourself, but you blamed us for losing it, and you bullied us into being honest, right?"
"Hmph, if you want to call the police, report it quickly. We are not afraid of the shadows being distorted. Anyway, the people are here and the luggage is here. When the police come, they can just search it."
Gao Qianying raised her chin and rolled her eyes: "You are the only ones in the carriage. When I woke up after a nap, my things were gone. Who else could have taken them if it wasn't you? Okay, you don't want to admit it, right? I'll do it now." Go call the police over!"
With that said, she rushed out of the carriage and went to find the conductor to call the police.
As a result, as soon as we got out, we bumped into a conductor.
Before she could speak, the conductor said to her:
"Hey, comrade, where are you going? We are about to arrive at the terminal. You should hurry back to the carriage and watch your luggage. We have just received reports from several passengers that they have lost their wallets."
"What?" Gao Qianying's eyes widened.
The conductor explained: "The train stopped at a large transfer station in the afternoon. It has always been the most chaotic station on this line. There are many passengers getting on and off, which is the best time for thieves to commit crimes. The luggage is too big for them to steal, so they specially Aim for the wallet.”
Hearing this, Gao Qianying's face suddenly turned ugly.
She just slept for six hours and didn't even know that the train had stopped. It was over. Could it be that her purse was stolen at that time?
The conductor saw that she looked uncomfortable and asked, "What's wrong? Could it be that you also lost your wallet?"
Gao Qianying gritted her teeth and nodded.
The conductor sighed: "Hey, then go and register with the police. We will notify you if there is any news. But you should also be mentally prepared. There is a high probability that the things will not be recovered."
As soon as she heard that the thing could not be recovered, Gao Qianying immediately put her hands on her hips and stamped her feet angrily: "This train is broken! This place is broken! It's so unlucky!"
The conductor was used to seeing passengers throwing things, and had encountered all kinds of reactions. He shrugged helplessly and continued walking to the next car.
After walking a few steps, he glanced back again, turned around and muttered in a low voice, dressed like this on the train, I wish I could wear all my belongings on my body, for fear that others would not know that you are rich, who would you steal if not? ?
Gao Qianying lost her money, and her whole body was like a lit firecracker, exploding all the way.
When she returned to the carriage, she saw several passengers in the same carriage talking and laughing. The scene stabbed her eyes like needles, and the fire in her heart burned even brighter:
"Hey, you guys are so vicious! You were chatting down there without sleeping, and you saw someone stealing my bag, but you didn't even step forward to stop me?!"
The laughter was interrupted, and someone turned around with a frightened expression on his face: "Oh, don't you care about us talking to you? How dare we ask for trouble and take the initiative to remind you."
Another person was a little gloating: "Isn't it true? As soon as you entered the carriage, your eyes grew to the top of your head, and you rolled your eyes at us at every turn. You almost had the word "disdain" written on your face. We don't have to rush to be cheap."
"Yes, the train conductor has said that we should take care of our own luggage, but there is no hard and fast rule that we have to help others take care of their luggage."
"You, you guys!" Gao Qianying was so crowded that she was speechless and her temples were beating with anger.
While talking, the train has already arrived at the station.
Several people stood up quickly and packed their luggage with their heads down. No one paid any attention to Gao Qianying.
With no money on her, Gao Qianying lost most of her confidence in an instant.
Angrily, she dragged her remaining suitcase and followed the crowd off the train.
