The birthday party on Saturday went well, and Dad Jiao's goal was achieved. Many people privately asked Dad Jiao to let him go abroad with confidence, and they would take care of Mom Jiao and the two children.
After a busy day, the four Jiao family on Sunday were all ready to take a good rest, but Zheng Tan was not among them.
On Saturday, Zheng Tan slept all afternoon, and he didn't help much at the birthday party, and he didn't bother to contact those bear children. He slept on his own, ate and drank enough, just waited for the birthday party to end, and then went home to continue sleeping. Therefore, the next day, different from the Jiao family, Zheng Tan's mental state was quite good early in the morning.
The Jiao family only had their first meal at noon today, and slept right away for breakfast, and Zheng Tan ran out to play after lunch.
On weekends, people in the school are relatively scattered, and people who are sunbathing, dating, and running can be seen in many places. After ignoring the seventh student who pointed at him "Mi", Zheng Tan decided to go for a walk outside the school.
The sunshine in the afternoon is good. Zheng Tan was walking on the fence and encountered a few cats lying there basking in the sun. Since he has walked this road many times, Zheng Tan, the cat who likes to wander outside at this time, has probably seen it. Of course, there were a few that showed hostility, Zheng Tan just ignored it, he didn't have time to mess with these cats.
After wandering around the construction site, Zheng Tan was very satisfied with the progress of the construction site. Even if it was not the same every day, the changes were obvious, and Zheng Tan also had hope.
Originally, Zheng Tan was going to go to Uncle Lamei to see the situation. Yesterday, when he saw Wei Ling's appearance, he probably knew some important news, otherwise he would not be in such a hurry, so Zheng Tan wanted to see what was going on at Uncle Lamei.
Even though there is no definite evidence to prove that Uncle Lamei is the son of Chen La, Chen Zhe, as Ye Hao said, Zheng Tan's intuition should be this person. The two previous murders are likely to be his revenge actions. .
When he was about to arrive at the community where Uncle Lamei was located, Zheng Tan suddenly stopped and saw a somewhat familiar person. After thinking about it carefully, Zheng Tan recognized that he was one of the people who followed Lai Er at the Shaoguang Hotel yesterday!
However, what are Lai Er's people doing here
This is surrounded by an old residential area, one of which is a private residence, where some people have built their own houses and then rented them out. Although there are not many students who come to rent here, it is not that there are no, plus The surrounding office workers and the cheap rent here are relatively cheap compared to the community, and the houses here are still in short supply.
Zheng Tan watched what the man said to the two people standing at the intersection, the two people nodded and continued to stand at the intersection. The clothes of the three were not conspicuous, and they looked more casual. If Zheng Tan had not recognized the person among them, he would not have paid attention to them.
After the man finished talking to the two people at the intersection, he entered through the intersection. Zheng Tan thought for a while, and followed him inside. As for the two people guarding the intersection, they just glanced at Zheng Tan and continued to observe the surroundings. It's just a cat, and they don't pay much attention to it. There are a lot of cats around the residents, and they just saw two.
Entering from this intersection, there are five or six-story old residential buildings on both sides. The gray walls of the buildings are not decorated with many gorgeous decorations. Many residents hang their clothes on the balcony, but because the two buildings are too close, the residents living on the two sides And can't enjoy the sun very well.
The road is relatively narrow, and if a family car drives in, the remaining width can only barely take a bicycle.
Zheng Tan kept a little distance and followed the man in front. He also noticed that when he walked inwards along the road, there was a person standing at a distance in the middle. Like the two people at the intersection, their clothes looked more casual, but Zheng Tan could sense a bit of viciousness from them. The people in front made a slight nodding gesture with those people when they passed by, and perhaps made eye contact. Zheng Tan stood behind and couldn't see them clearly. He could only try his best to be natural, like an ordinary house cat. They walked by.
The good thing is that these people, like the two people standing at the intersection, didn't take Zheng Tan to heart at all, which also made Zheng Tan's tracking behavior a lot smoother.
In the process of following closely, Zheng Tan was also pondering, in broad daylight, what are these people going to do
After walking a distance, there are no longer those old residential buildings on both sides, but private houses.
The man didn't stop there, but kept going.
After walking for about seven or eight minutes, I stopped in front of a residential building. This residential building is similar in style to the surrounding buildings. It is a two-story building with a small yard of fifteen or six square meters. It may be because no one has lived in it for a long time. The reason is that there are a lot of weeds in the yard.
Different from the feeling of narrowness when you first entered the intersection, there was still some distance between each building around here. Many houses have their own small yards. Although they are not big, they look quite sentimental. Zheng Tan took a look. The private houses around here are not as high as the ones seen in the front. Most of them are only two-story and three-story, and they are more American-style buildings. People who live here should know how to enjoy it.
A year ago, there were actually many private houses like this one in front of this villa. Now they have all been demolished and have been surrounded by buildings. I don't know what to build. Some of the people who originally lived here have moved away, and only one empty house remains here waiting to be demolished.
There were a few people standing in front of the house, Zheng Tan watched the man walk over and said a few words to the person at the door, then took out his mobile phone to make a call.
Two minutes later, a car came from the other side of the intersection. Different from the path where Zheng Tan came in, the road over there leads to a wide avenue. From that intersection, there are construction sites along the way, up to here, I believe it will be demolished in the near future. Some people renting here are probably thinking of looking elsewhere.
It should be Lai Er in the car.
Zheng Tan carefully avoided Lai Er's people and approached the house. Although a cat was nothing to these people, Zheng Tan was not sure if these people would kill a cat just to be cautious, but Zheng Tan was really curious, since he encountered this, if he was watching from the side, Zheng Tan would not be reconciled.
Or else, curiosity killed the cat. After becoming a cat, Zheng Tan's curiosity also increased, perhaps because of the boring life after becoming a cat.
Zheng Tan took advantage of the few people at the door to pay attention to the approaching car, and walked around to the side and slumped down from the wall to the window on the second floor.
Now Zheng Tan is getting more and more comfortable climbing the wall. As long as it is not the kind of particularly smooth wall, Zheng Tan can easily climb up within a certain height.
Lai Er got out of the car, and the person Zheng Tan followed before walked over to report the situation to Lai Er.
"Manpower has also been arranged near several intersections. The left and right and behind buildings have been cleaned up, and there are people guarding the downstairs. The house has been inspected. I personally inspected that room three times, and found it in a hidden place. I have a monitor, it has been dismantled, there is indeed a computer in the room, no one has opened it, you can rest assured."
Lai Er raised his hand to signal that he knew, then closed his jacket and walked into the house.
Originally, Zheng Tan planned to climb up and find a window to drill into the house, but soon, Zheng Tan heard a faint sound coming from inside. Zheng Tan is in the window on the side of the house at the moment, and those people should be in the room where the front window is.
Zheng Tan moved over carefully. It was daytime, and it was easy to be discovered if you were not careful. The good thing was that the person guarding below stood at the gate of the gate and couldn't see Zheng Tan above.
After Lai Er went upstairs, he walked to a room. From the window of the room, he could see the construction site in front of the house, but it was blocked by the old blinds at the moment.
The things in the room are simple and clear at a glance, there is a table inside, and there is a laptop on the table.
The person next to Lai Er walked over and turned on the computer.
Zheng Tan moved to the front window on the second floor and looked in through the gaps in the venetian blinds.
Everyone else left, only Lai Er was inside. When it came to some secrets, Lai Er didn't want anyone other than himself to know, and he didn't believe anyone.
Lai Er was sitting at the table, using that computer to video with people. Zheng Tan's ear strength is good, although Lai Er has lowered his voice a little, Zheng Tan can still hear it vaguely.
On the computer screen, there is a person wearing a black coat with a mask. The mask is round and looks a bit simple and rough, like a children's toy, with no special features.
"Uncle Qiang, long time no see." The person on the screen said.
"Chen Zhe?" Lai Er stared at the person on the screen, gnashing his teeth.
When Zheng Tan heard Chen Zhe's voice, he was certain that this Chen Zhe was Uncle Lamei.
"Oh, I almost forgot, you should be called Lai Er now. Do you think this place is familiar? I remember that when I was young, my father had some money in business, so he bought a house here. He said he liked the movies on TV. That kind of thing, so an American-style house was built, and the surrounding neighbors followed suit, so the surrounding area was jokingly called a 'high-end villa area' at the time..." Chen Zhe seemed to fall into memory.
"I didn't come today to listen to your reminiscence, where are the things?" Lai Er interrupted Chen Zhe's words.
But Chen Zhe didn't stop there: "Later, my father became famous, and the family moved to the downtown business district, but only occasionally came here to rest, instead of having to order meals from those high-end restaurants, my mother cooked, and the family lived an ordinary life. weekend… "
"Okay! I have limited time, where are the things?!" Lai Er asked sharply.
"Are you guilty? Afraid? What was your mood when you let them burn them here? They have been watching you from the sky." Chen Zhe's voice was a little low, with a sense of trance in his calm.
"Can you scare me with this little trick?" Lai Er hummed, "You bought this piece of land, built the burnt house back like this, and sent me an anonymous email asking me to come here and mention your death in the fire. My parents, just to make me afraid? I am not afraid of them when they are alive, and even less afraid when they are dead!"
Suddenly thinking of something, Lai Eryin said sympathetically, "You put the monitor? Unfortunately, I have already removed it. I admit that you are very good at solving the two people without leaving any traces. It is indeed a progress. , but to me, you are still tender! I already have news about the thing you said, and I can find it even if you don't say it. As for you... You have been hiding for so many years, and since you have come out, just wait to die! "
Chen Zhe didn't care when he heard this, and said to Lai Er, "Do you believe in 'retribution'?"
When Chen Zhe said these words, Zheng Tan, who had been looking in through the gap between the venetian blinds outside the window, suddenly felt a sense of extreme fear, not aimed at himself, but could not get rid of this strong feeling unease.
