851 “AV Shooting Guide” 816: Three Roads

After this incident, everyone’s holiday mood was completely ruined. Qiao Qiao was originally looking forward to the night view, but now the floor-to-ceiling windows were just a few steps away, and she didn’t even bother to walk over and take a look.

“Let’s rest first and wait for tomorrow’s news.” Song Qiyan closed the computer and said, “The Chinese New Year is coming soon. If that person wants to sell it at a good price, it will be in these few days.”

Liang Jize’s expression was sinister: “No, I will definitely dig out this rat from the ditch. I can’t wait a second.”

After saying that, he suddenly stood up, grabbed his cell phone and went to the balcony, apparently wanting to make a call.

“What to do with that child?” Zhou Yuanchuan raised his head and asked between messages, “Should we hand it over to the police?”

Song Qiyan shook his head: “He is an important witness. Please tell Captain Zhang to control him temporarily.”

“Okay.”

“Have the owners of the other two watches been found?”

Zhou Yuanchuan put down his mobile phone and moved the laptop next to him in front of him: “I found it, but one of the pieces has been transferred several times. It will take time to investigate who the final buyer is.”

“Where are the local forces?”

“It’s very complicated.” Zhou Yuanchuan smiled bitterly, “The mountains here are high and the emperor is far away, and it is close to the border. Our connections are not of use.”

He paused: “On the contrary, it might be easier if Qin Ruicheng is here… He happens to be in the Qin family’s border trade circle.”

Qiao Qiao suddenly raised her head when she heard Qin Ruicheng’s name. She looked at Song Qiyan’s face expectantly, but the other party had no expression.

“That was before.” The man stated without any emotion, “Now he is useless.”

“That’s true.” Zhou Yuanchuan smiled, “It’s a pity.”

The two quickly ignored the topic and began to discuss how to deal with it. Qiao Qiao couldn’t understand what they said, and Qiao Qiao didn’t recognize the name of the person mentioned. She felt like an ornament in the room, unable to help at all and of no use.

Feeling depressed and unsure whether it was because of Qin Ruicheng or himself, Qiao Qiao stood up and said, “Do you want something to eat? I’ll go out for a walk.”

“It’s not safe for you to go out alone. I’ll ask Captain Zhang to send someone to go with you.”

“No, the security team is already here.” Song Qiyan said, “It’s just downstairs. You can see them in the hotel lobby.”

Qiao Qiao went down to the lobby, and sure enough, two men, one tall and one short, were waiting for her.

“Miss Qiao.” The tall man came up to say hello respectfully, “Where are you going? Do you need a car?”

Qiao Qiao thought for a while: “Let’s take a stroll around the area first, there’s no need to drive.”

Although she said this, she didn’t think about where to go. She just wanted to come down and take a breather.She usually didn’t feel anything when she was with men, but as long as something happened, the insurmountable class differences between the two sides would be immediately exposed.

She didn’t want to stay in the house or continue to be a decoration. She would rather go downstairs and stare at the flower bed in a daze.

After walking along the sidewalk outside the hotel for a while, a 24-hour convenience store appeared in front of her. Qiao Qiao looked at the two people following her a few steps behind and asked, “Have you had dinner?”

The tall man replied: “Miss Qiao, we don’t eat during work.”

“Oh, okay.” She guessed that this was probably a rule in the industry, “Then I’ll go get some oden.”

“Okay.”

She looked at them and said, “Don’t go in. The convenience store is very small. It has glass anyway, so you can see me.”

The two men looked at each other without raising any objection, and seemed to agree.

Qiao Qiao entered the store, ordered a few skewers of fish balls and radishes, and then sat on the narrow dining chair with the paper bowl given by the clerk. She saw her bodyguards guarding the two exits of the convenience store. The two of them did not relax at all because she was dining. Instead, they observed everyone passing by with due diligence.

Qiao Qiao silently took a bite of the meatballs. In fact, she wasn’t hungry at all. She just couldn’t bear to be followed like this all the time.

I didn’t expect that I have to breathe in the hotel and I have to breathe when I come out. This year has been such a mess.

After eating for a while, another young couple came to the store and sat down not far from Qiaoqiao.

“What’s going on with the man at the door? He was staring at me when he came in just now.”

“Who knows, maybe he’s mentally disturbed, so don’t pay attention to him.” The boy comforted him.

“It’s all your fault for coming so late.”

“Oh, roads are being built everywhere these days, and the navigation doesn’t show it, so I had to go around a long way to get here.”

“Hmph, excuse.”

“I don’t dare to lie to anyone. You are my nemesis.”

The girl gave him a slap like a baby, and the two turned to chat about other topics, bursts of laughter from time to time.

Qiao Qiao picked up the paper bowl and drank the hot soup in one gulp, wiped his mouth and left the convenience store quickly.

Seeing her coming out, the tall man immediately followed her: “Miss Qiao, are you going back?”

“No reply, I have to confirm something and I need a car.”

“Okay, please wait a moment.”

Soon the short man drove over in an off-road vehicle. Qiao Qiao’s eyelids twitched a few times and he pretended not to see the thickened bulletproof glass and shooting holes in the vehicle.

She asked her bodyguard to drive the car back to the restaurant where she had eaten during the day.

One of the important reasons why Song Qiyan did not choose to investigate the identity of the mysterious accomplice from the restaurant was that the location of the restaurant was very tricky. It was at a three-way intersection and there was no surveillance.This means that the mysterious accomplice can disappear into the endless flow of traffic and people like a drop of water flowing into the ocean. It is extremely difficult to catch him.

But the couple in the convenience store gave Qiao Qiao a hint. Maybe the man didn’t have many options to escape.

The night is dark and the place is quite noisy during the day, but it becomes completely silent at night. The small shops on the roadside are all closed and only the street lights are still shining dimly.

Qiao Qiao stood in the middle of the road and looked around. He didn’t see any roadblocks. All three roads were passable.

Hmm, are you so unlucky?

Qiao Qiao was unwilling to go back like this. He had nothing to do anyway, so he might as well walk around and take a look. Maybe there were other clues hidden in the environment.

There are two facts that can be basically confirmed now: First, there is no doubt that the mysterious accomplice drove away.Second, he will inevitably choose one of these three paths.

As long as you can determine which way he escaped, you can use the comparative elimination method to screen out the most suspicious vehicles, and the rest will be much simpler.

Qiao Qiao numbered the three roads. The first one from the east was No. 1, the second one was No. 2, and the third one was No. 3. She was now standing in the middle of Road 1. Qiao Qiao felt that this road was the least suspicious because it had poor road conditions and bumpy roads. If she was in a hurry to escape, she would definitely not consider this road as her first choice.

But she didn’t dare to say that the man would definitely not take this road, because although the road condition was a bit bad, driving was completely fine. If the man didn’t mind the bumps, it would be very reasonable for him to escape through this road.

Alas, this is the most troublesome part of the whole thing, there are so many possibilities.

Qiao Qiao walked several hundred meters along Route 1, but found nothing useful, so he could only turn back temporarily and go to Route 2.

Road No. 2 is the widest and flattest of the three roads, and it leads to the nearby business district. The traffic flow is usually very heavy. If the person escapes from this road, subsequent tracing will be very troublesome.

Thinking of this, Qiao Qiao looked more carefully. She even took over the wolf-eye flashlight that the bodyguard used for defense, not sparing any corner.

“Hey, why are there so many branches here?”

After walking for a while, she discovered that there were an unusually large number of branches in the green belt on the roadside, and the branches looked very fresh.

“These should be left over from pruning the street trees.” The tall bodyguard said, “The larger branches will be dragged away, and the smaller branches will be swept to the green belt for fertilization.”

“Can you tell when it was repaired?”

The bodyguard came over, picked up a branch and smelled it: “No more than 12 hours.”

Qiao Qiao was overjoyed.

She immediately turned on her mobile phone to check the city government’s announcement, and sure enough she found clues in the message released a few days ago. It said that the branches of street trees would be trimmed on this road this morning to remind passing vehicles to avoid it.

Very good!

Based on time, if the man leaves the restaurant at noon, there will be a lot of branches on this road that have just been pruned and have not been towed away. Although it will not block the road, the cars on this road will definitely slow down in unison. According to the man’s mentality of wanting to escape as soon as possible, he will not choose this road 99% of the time!

Qiao Qiao suppressed her excitement and immediately went to check Route 3, but luck would not always be on her side. Route 3 was just like Route 1, everything was normal.

But it would be nice to remove a road!

Back at the hotel, Qiao Qiao immediately announced his findings.

“It makes sense.” Zhou Yuanchuan raised his head and looked at Qiao Qiao with a smile. “Xiao Qiao, you are so amazing. You have thought of everything we didn’t think of.”

“Well, you did a good job.” Song Qiyan reached out and gently rubbed the top of her hair.

Qiao Qiao’s face heated up, and her inflated self-esteem made her heart beat loudly. The previous feeling that she was separated from them by a thin film had disappeared, and she was now standing in the same world as them.

“Xiao Qiao’s idea is right.” Liang Jize thought for a while, “To be on the safe side, I’ll find someone to take a look. It would be best if we can clear another path.”

Although Liang Jize said this, no one had high hopes. Being able to avoid a road was already a blessing among misfortunes, and he did not dare to ask for such good luck a second time.

However, he soon received news: “Road No. 3 can also be ruled out. A fire hydrant burst there at noon and it was repaired after two o’clock in the afternoon.”

A road that is constantly spraying water is by no means the first choice for escaping. The diffused water mist will seriously affect the driver’s vision.

The conclusion is obvious: after picking up the little boy, the mysterious accomplice chose to drive away along Route 1!
