"Archie?" Zhai Chen confirmed the location again and again, "Did he make this thing?"
I suddenly remembered what Gao Yusheng had said earlier, Archibald was a salesman of mechanical products, but he didn't expect it to be such a mechanical product!
"Well, only he can repair," Gao Yusheng looked at him innocently, and indirectly explained why he was so tolerant of Archie, "Brother, do you remember yesterday's agreement?"
"What appointment... Cough," Zhai Chen said halfway through remembering what it was, "You don't need to be so exaggerated, whoever is in love will kiss him whenever he wants."
"Do you think it's disgusting?" Gao Yusheng asked softly, speaking very slowly, as carefully as picking frost flowers on snow.
"Ah, no." Zhai Chen scratched his ears uncomfortably, the warm and moist touch, the intimacy like a small animal, it was a little itchy aftertaste. It must be because Xiao Tianci is too cute, it's a sin for such a big person to be so likable.
Gao Yusheng watched his reaction without blinking, and the corners of his mouth slowly raised indiscernibly: "I have never been in a relationship with anyone, I have only seen the relationship pattern of American classmates."
"It's true that they are like this. It's too subtle. What we focus on here is the love that is hidden but not revealed, and ambiguous until the point is reached. Only then can we catch up with girls, understand?" Zhai Chen raised his eyebrows at him, a look of someone coming to guide him.
"Brother knows a lot." The corners of his mouth that had just been raised drooped down again, Gao Yusheng praised him perfunctorily, then turned his head to look out the window and ignored him.
This bear boy, why is it cloudy and sunny? Zhai Chen glanced at him and glanced at him again, wondering where he had provoked him again, scratching his head, did he start rebelling when he was a teenager
Twenty-three-year-old puberty came too late.
When I found Archie, this man was having breakfast at the open-air cafe on the first floor of the hotel, and his expression was very gloomy.
"Archie, what's wrong with you?" Zhai Chen tried to restrain the gloating expression on his face, and sat down with Gao Yusheng.
"I can't get in touch with that agent, I can't answer my emails, and I can't get through to the phone," Archie asked after finishing the sandwich and drinking a big gulp of black coffee, frowning two golden eyebrows. Gao Yusheng, "Did she run away with my deposit?"
"Don't worry, I will find someone to inquire right away, there will be news soon. Before that, please help me fix this."
Hearing that Gao Yusheng was willing to help, Archie was immediately happy, took the box and opened it and glanced at it.
"You brought my darling! Let me see... Ow," Archie grieved as if his girlfriend had been spoiled when he saw the messy tangled wire, "How could it be broken? With an X wire of this width, it is not a problem to lift a car!"
Archie was taken aback, causing the people around breakfast to look sideways, and he quickly lowered his voice, holding the mechanical watch with a string in his hand sadly.
"Cut off." Gao Yusheng briefly explained what happened yesterday.
"You don't need to cut it, you can ask me to dismantle it for you!" Archie was very indignant at such a wasteful behavior.
"The police can't wait," Zhai Chen explained to Gao Yusheng, "and this thing got stuck by itself and can't be taken back. You made this thing..."
At first, he wanted to laugh at Archie's poor craftsmanship, but suddenly Gao Yusheng grabbed the hand on the table, and the second half of the sentence was stuck in his throat and could not come out. Gao Yusheng naturally came over and bit his ear: "Don't laugh at him, craftsmen have strong self-esteem, and if a layman picks on him, he will probably lose his temper."
"It's easy to fix it, but I have to take it apart to see what's wrong, but this is..." Archie looked at the broken wire carefully and motioned for Gao Yusheng to see it, but saw the two of them sticking close together. , whistled along the way, "You guys like this make me want to find a boyfriend too."
Archie has yet to develop a new partner after his last relationship fell through. I didn't feel lonely at home, but I was stimulated after tens of thousands of miles across the ocean. It was really hard to prevent.
Zhai Chen: "..." Does this product have a pink filter for the eyes? Brothers can be seen as a show of affection even if they are whispering normally. Yesterday, Gao Yusheng really didn't need to act for that, and he could believe it if he held hands with Archie.
Although Gao Yusheng really wanted to talk to him about his "love affair" with his brother, it was obviously not the right time: "What's wrong with what you said just now?"
"This is not easy to handle. It needs to be melted before using the mold." The topic was pulled back, and Archie began to feel distressed about the cut wire again.
"There is a professional studio for you to use." Gao Yusheng rejected his proposal to bring it back to the United States for repair, and asked him to repair it in two days.
"Okay, for the sake of your willingness to help," Archie shrugged, stroking the metal arrow again, as if he was touching some rare treasure, "this would be great if energy production, you can still get it Is this metal?"
"NASA has this. If you can negotiate, you can try it. Aren't those space shuttles scrapped? Go buy them and dismantle them for use." Gao Yusheng sincerely pointed him to a clear path.
"If I can talk to the space agency, am I still Archie Bird? I can change my name to Archie Gates." Archie rolled his eyes at this unconstructive comment and put the broken watch away. He got up and looked at Gao Yusheng eagerly.
Gao Yusheng pretended to call Secretary Zheng and asked him to ask about the situation at the Gaoyuan orphanage. After a while, Secretary Zheng called, and Gao Yusheng simply turned on the speakerphone to listen to Archie.
"There was an accident at that orphanage. It is said that a large number of police cars passed by last night, and the dean and the stewards were taken away, leaving only a few teachers who took care of disabled children." Zheng Jing inquired quite clearly, because he was in the orphanage before. When doing activities, the secretary who is very good at socializing not only left the contact information of the orphanage, but also the phone number of the owner of the nearby small shop.
This kind of people who do small business in the market is the most well-informed. The man also revealed to him that it might be involved in the illegal sale of children.
"It turned out to be an accident at the orphanage, what about the child?" Archie was surprised. If it involves illegal or criminal matters, it is normal that the intermediary refuses to contact him, and maybe he is still suspected of being the eyeliner of the police.
Zhai Chen patted Archie sympathetically: "What's the name of the child you saw yesterday? My brother is at the police station and can help you ask."
"Sisi." Speaking of the name, Archie's eyes softened.
It turned out to be Sisi—the girl who sat in the corner without saying a word. She said that she was originally from an orphanage and was not kidnapped. If it is really a regular orphan, maybe Archie still has a chance to adopt this child, Zhai Chen called Fang Chuyang.
"Is Sisi still in your office?"
"Well." Fang Chuyang's voice was a little low. I don't know if it was because of the short sleep last night. When I woke up this morning, the nose was not the nose, the eyes were not the eyes. Now his temper is not so great, but he still doesn't sound very happy.
"There is a foreigner who has discussed with the agency about adopting Sisi. I know this person, maybe he can provide some clues, or should I take him there?" Zhai Chen went down the hill and offered to take Archie In the past, take a look at Sisi by the way.
Fang Chuyang stretched out his head and glanced at Sisi, who was sleeping with clothes on the sofa. From last night to now, this child has been in a state of resistance at other times, except when Zhai Chen said a few words. She didn't know where her home was, and she didn't want to talk about the orphanage in detail. She only asked, "Can I still be adopted by that foreign uncle?"
"Bring him here," Fang Chuyang let out a sigh of relief, "I just have something to ask you."
Archie was very angry when he heard that Sisi stayed in the police station all night, and then learned that he could go to see Sisi, and gratefully held Zhai Chen's hand: "You really are amazing, even the police from the high-level police station are I know." Fortunately, he didn't offend Zhai Chen unreasonably that day.
"Heh, there's nothing you can't do between black and white, Brother Chen." Zhai Chen sneered disdainfully, saying that this is a trivial matter.
Gao Yusheng looked at him bragging about not drafting, and nodded in agreement: "Brother is a god."
"Don't, it's too exaggerated." Zhai Chen poked him with his elbow. The child was still young, so he didn't know how to brag.
"It's not an exaggeration, in my eyes, my brother is an immortal who came down to save me." Gao Yusheng held the arm that poked him, and recited live poetry with his sweet and moving voice with all his eyes full of sincerity. Sincere and heartfelt.
If Archie hadn't been in a hurry to see the child, he would have applauded and fired a salute.
Zhai Chen: "...Where did you learn this from?"
Adolescent children are always very obsessed with beautiful intonation of poetry and prose. Zhai Chen remembered that when he was in middle school, there were always a few literary men and women in the class, and they liked to chant two cadences of pain and sadness. A serious person like Gao Yusheng will definitely copy the sentences he likes on the lyrics book, dictate and recite them.
It is indeed a period of rebellion!
Kindergarten teacher Zhai Chen is a little worried. His own situation is special, and there is no such thing as adolescence; Fang Chuyang's life was too harsh at that time, and he directly skipped adolescence. He can only refer to the little hooligans who follow him in the alley, but those people have nothing in common with the good boy Tianci, and he really doesn't know how to deal with Gao Yusheng's belated puberty.
Teacher Zhai felt that it was necessary for him to check the information.
The criminal police team was still busy, and he was called out to work at 3:00 in the morning. Until now, only Fang Chuyang had been sleeping in Yutang Bay for a while, which should be full of low pressure. However, everyone's mental state was exceptionally good, and everyone had high fighting spirit.
When Zhai Chen came in, he bumped into Xiao Zhang who was holding a stack of documents. Stacking Arhat's data box, Ben was swaying in Xiao Zhang's juggling action, and when he was hit like this, he flew out.
Zhai Chen fished out the box that flew out first, raised his feet to easily pick up the one that was about to fall, and returned the things to their original positions.
"Thank you Brother Chen." Xiao Zhang emerged from behind the hill-like document, pressed his chin on the box at the top, and grinned at Zhai Chen.
"I'm so happy, I'm hallucinating from overtime?" Zhai Chen patted the jagged data box. The delicate balance of placing blocks was broken again, and Xiao Zhang, who had just stood still, was forced to start juggling left and right again. action.
"Brother Chen!" Xiao Zhang suddenly had a bitter face, and swayed to the reference room.
"Zhai Chen, don't make trouble there." Fang Chuyang just came out of the interrogation room when he saw Zhai Chen poisoning his team members, and called someone over with a dark face.
Archie came to the police station for the first time, looked left and right curiously, and asked Gao Yusheng who followed him: "Can I take pictures?"
"No," Xiaoma just came out of the interrogation room, rubbing the hairs on his head, cursing, when he heard the yellow-haired foreigner say he wanted to take a photo, he directly refused, "What are you doing?"
"He is an insider, and I am the translator." Gao Yusheng replied without changing his face.
"Mr. Gao." Xiaoma knew him, rubbed his long face, turned around and saw Fang Chuyang calling them over, so he didn't ask any more questions, and turned to pour himself a drink. Passing by the sofa area, he asked the child who was lying there with his eyes open if he wanted to drink water.
"Don't drink." Sisi sat up and replied in a low voice.
"Sisi!" Archie saw Sisi and ran over immediately.
"Mr. Bird?" Sisi's eyes widened, and she looked around blindly. This is still the police station. Why did this prospective adopter appear here
Archie wanted to squat down and talk to her, but was pulled away by the pony: "What are you doing, don't scare her."
"Oh, sorry!" Archie immediately raised his hands, "I just want to be concerned about this child's condition."
Fang Chuyang called Zhai Chen and his party to the inquiry room to understand the situation. Sisi watched helplessly, and after a while she jumped off the sofa and ran to the door of the inquiry room, clinging to the glass door to look in.
When Archie heard the current situation, he was very shocked: "Trafficking in human beings? I didn't know about this situation, the agent at the time... I thought they were, uh, how do you say that word?" He said a complicated word and murmured again. Speak a long list of English.
Gao Yusheng translated for him unhurriedly: "Archie thinks that the Gaoyuan Orphanage has special policy support, which can support unmarried people to adopt children. Of course, he also knows that this agency has some extraordinary means to shorten the processing time. You will have a child within six months.”
According to common sense, it takes about two to three years for a foreigner to adopt a child, from the appointment to the acquisition of the child. Including inspections, public announcements, and various formalities, it is obviously illegal to take away the child within half a year.
"How much did you pay the intermediary?" Fang Chuyang motioned for Xiao Chen to write it down.
"Including the advance payment, the total is 30,000 US dollars," Archie explained one by one, realizing that this matter violated the law, and was a little flustered, "This is that they have a formal contract, very thick information, just there In the room with the pink sofa."
"Damn it, $30,000!" The pony, who wanted to take a break, followed in to join in the fun, and couldn't help scolding when he heard this. According to regulations, foreigners who adopt a child have to pay a handling fee of about 3,000 US dollars, which is a normal fee. Gao Yuan actually asked for 30,000 US dollars, which is more money than selling children in China.
With such a high profit, it is no wonder that these people are stealing children in broad daylight. It is too profitable.
Archie didn't understand and asked Gao Yusheng, "What do you mean by me?"
Gao Yusheng: "..."
"It's fuck!" Zhai Chen grabbed Gao Yusheng's shoulder and said to the serious child who was thin-skinned for his own family, and pinched him maliciously, "Am I right?"
Gao Yusheng's ears suddenly turned red.
Originally, this sentence is very understandable, but it is a vulgar catchphrase. But the word "fuck" has other meanings at the same time. This situation fell into the eyes of Archie, who saw that everyone was gay, and it suddenly changed to another meaning.
"No no no, I just want to adopt a child, it's definitely not a bad purpose! The extra money is what they said to solve the cost of single adoption and expedited processing, really, I swear!" Archie jumped up excitedly, Lian Lian explained that because the movement was too big, he was surprised when he saw Sisi at the door.
Others saw it too, Zhai Chen went over to open the door and put the child in: "Sisi, why did you come here?"
"Mr. Bird did nothing wrong, don't arrest him." Sisi whispered tearfully.
It was rare for Sisken to speak, and the pony knelt down to communicate with her: "How do you know he is a good person? You have only met once."
"I'm gay, like the two of them, I can't possibly threaten the little girl!" Archie pointed to Zhai Chen and Gao Yusheng who were very close.
Fang Chuyang: "..."
Zhai Chen: "Damn, what do you think I'm doing? I'm not, I don't!"
