After having lunch in the safe house, Shi Lei suddenly received a text message from his mobile phone, and when he opened it, it was a message from Croissant:
"I lost my motorcycle, come and help me find it."
Sure enough, no accident or accident.How could such a big motorcycle be lost?
"Is there surveillance where you park your car?"
"No, this is a slum, and there are no surveillance cameras. It was fine last night, but it suddenly disappeared today. I have been looking for it for a long time, so I asked you to help me."
Shi Lei felt puzzled, the weight of the motorcycle is not light, could it be that a gang committed the crime:
"How could the car be lost? Did you put the key in the motorcycle?"
"That's right, it can be used so that the angel can get it. I put the key in the motorcycle and didn't take it."
After listening to Ke Song's description, he frowned and thought.
There are not many surveillance cameras in the downtown area, but there must be witnesses to such a conspicuous motorcycle driving away.
There are so many slum areas with tens of thousands of residents.Looking for it alone is definitely looking for a needle in a haystack.If you want to find it before 0 o'clock, you need to ask Lin Yuxia for help.
Thinking of this, Shi Lei got up and walked out.
"Hey, Zhongli, where are you going?"
"I'm going out to do some errands, and I'll be back soon."
……
050 Unexpected Visitor
Shi Lei didn't have a car, so he asked Ke Song to pick him up.After rendezvous, go to the slums together.
Looking at the receding scenery outside the window, Shi Lei asked:
"Why are you so careless, you actually put the key in the motorcycle?"
Croissant knows it's his
Question, explained with a guilty face:
"I put an angelic sticker on the motorcycle that day, and I didn't take out the key after I finished it. As a result, when I came this morning, the motorcycle disappeared. I searched around for a long time, and I asked you for help."
When something like this happened, Shi Lei had no choice.
Although he can hear sounds by touching the ground, this ability has a time limit.If you wait until this time to touch it, you won't be able to hear anything.
Moreover, the slums are different from the upper city, and they are no-nonsense areas that the Guards Bureau cannot intervene.Calling the police that the motorcycle was stolen was of no use at all.
If you can't find any clues at the scene of the crime, you can only ask Lin Yuxia for help.It is better for the local snake in the slum to take action than for the two of them to find a needle in a haystack.
When entrusting others to help with affairs, it is best to visit in person to show sincerity.
Half an hour later, the orange pickup passed through the guard post of the Guards Bureau and came to the place where Croissant hid the motorcycle.
Shi Lei checked it again and came to the same conclusion as her, but found no useful clues.
It stands to reason that the thieves drove away the motorcycle, and the nearby residents should have heard the roar of the engine.As a result, I visited several companies, and they all said they didn't know.
Perhaps the thieves deliberately pushed the motorcycle for a while in order to confuse the public.In addition, there are no rut marks on the ground, which leads to a complete interruption of the clues.
Shi Lei thought for a moment, then asked:
"Do you know where Lin Yuxia lives?"
Croissant usually transports goods to the slums. Although he is not familiar with the Lin family, he still knows the address:
"They have a house in the lower city and one in the upper city. Let's go to the slums first."
Shi Lei was kind to Lin Yuxia, and asking her for help was a helpless act.Croissant also knows that this is not good, but time is running out, so this is not a solution.
She drove the pickup truck and sent Shi Lei to the Lin family's address in the slum.Then he turned off the engine and parked on the side of the road, and came to the Lin family mansion with him.
There were two Zalak guards at the front door. When they saw a stranger approaching, they immediately became alert and asked:
"who?"
"Hi, my name is Shi Lei. I need Miss Lin Yuxia if I have something to do. Can you please inform me?"
The guard looked him up and down for a moment, exchanged glances with his colleagues, nodded and said:
"Wait."
After a while, the guard went and came back.He changed his previous stern appearance, and said respectfully:
"Mr. Shi, please come inside."
Ke Song walked in, but was stopped by the guard with his body, explaining:
"Sorry, you can't go in."
She twitched the corners of her mouth when she heard the words, and shrugged helplessly:
"Okay, then I won't go in, you just need to say that the car was stolen in District 22 last night."
"Ok, I know."
Shi Lei followed the guards into the mansion, the interior is very spacious.Quite a few Zaraks were exercising in the courtyard, which looked like a gang stronghold.In a crowded building full of tofu blocks like slums, having such a mansion is also a status symbol in a sense.
When they came to the atrium building, the guard bowed and said:
"Mr. Shi, please come inside."
After speaking, he stood at the door without any intention of following in.
Shi Lei didn't care too much, and walked into the room.The fireplace inside the house crackled and glowed red.
An old man with a mouse head and a white coat sat on the sofa with a benevolent face.It looked at the young man who entered the room, grinned and said:
"Mr. Shi, I heard my daughter mentioned you, but unfortunately I have never been able to see you. Did you encounter any trouble when you took the initiative to come to the door today?"
Shi Lei has read a lot of books recently, and he knows that this kind of atavistic phenomenon, those who look like animals are called ancestors.Although weird according to his aesthetics, all Terra continents think that animal-like ancestors are more sexually attractive.
"Yes, my colleague recently bought a motorcycle from another place, but it was stolen in District 22 last night. Because it is a birthday present for someone else tomorrow, time is tight. So I have no choice but to bother you, hoping to help find it."
Lin Gerui leaned on crutches with one hand and looked at the young man in front of him.He can care so much about other people's affairs, which shows that his character is not too bad.
Great Emperor, Great Emperor, I really envy you old guy.
Before the daughter had a strong sense of need, she ran to confess within a few days after meeting her, but she was rejected.Now is a good time to take this opportunity to repair the relationship between the two:
"I can send someone to help you find it, but I can't make everyone busy for nothing, right?"
Shi Lei came to ask for help, but the other party offered a price.It is very reasonable to negotiate the conditions and form a contract.
"Understood, how much do you want to charge?"
"Hey, it's vulgar to talk about money."
Lin Gerui smiled kindly, not at all vicious like the underground emperor of the slums.
My dear girl, I can only help you so far.
Only by establishing a friendship with him first, and then increasing contact step by step, can we win the other party:
"Since the last time my little girl had a stalemate with you, she didn't think about food and drink all day long. Can Mr. Shi leave his contact information and become friends with her again?"
Isn't it just to refuse Lin Yuxia's poaching? Why does it sound like breaking up and falling out of love?But Shi Lei now has a request from others, and he has no reason to refuse:
"Yes, as long as she doesn't mention those things, we can still be friends. My phone number is XXXXXX"
As a person who has experienced it, Lin Gerui felt that his daughter was out of action when he heard it.But there are no absolutes in everything, we can only take one step at a time.and speak out
For the water that goes out, if you promise to help others, you can't easily go back on your word.
After he wrote down the mobile phone number, he asked his men to investigate the motorcycle theft that happened in District 22 last night.
"Mr. Shi, would you like a cup of coffee? You sit here for a while, and I will notify you in time if there is any news."
"Add a candy, thank you."
After learning about Shi Lei's attitude towards his daughter, Lin Gerui didn't mention Lin Yuxia again, so as not to kill this relationship completely.Like an elder he meets when he returns home during the Chinese New Year, he asks about work, income, and RV.
After more than an hour, a Zarak gently knocked on the door and came in to report the information:
"Master, we have found out the identity of the thief, but he is not at home, and he is nowhere to be found."
Oh, it's over.
Shi Lei originally had hoped to ask the Mouse King for help, but now they can't even handle it, let alone himself.How about changing Croissant for a birthday present?
……
Meanwhile, Uptown.
A certain Sakota with blue hair and black horns came to the park on a motorcycle with an angel sticker on it.Behind her was Li Boli with fiery red hair.
"Why didn't you return the car?"
"It's not that you didn't see it. Croissant came back when he was about to return the car. I don't want people around Xiao Le to know that I've been here."
……
051 Lost and found
The blue-haired and black-horned Sakota looked playfully at the red-haired Li Boli, and said with a joking smile:
"Why, do you care that I haven't returned the motorcycle?"
"My job is to keep an eye on you, Mostima. As for other things, I don't care."
"Really? Then why do I feel that you have something to say? Come on, come on, say what you have. Don't hold back, Fiameta."
The red-haired Li Boli was very helpless, and she always seemed to be unable to gain the upper hand in the conversation with Mostima.But what the other party said is correct, and I do have doubts in my heart:
"Since you don't want to appear in front of her, why come back?"
"After all, it's Xiao Le's birthday, so let's drop by and have a look. You should know, it's not the first time I've done this."
Fiametta snorted coldly and complained:
"Oh, you call hundreds of kilometers a drop in the road?"
"Oh, don't worry about these details. Come to Longmen on the way, isn't it just on the way?"
She was too lazy to argue with Mostima about whether the road will go smoothly or not, so she brought the topic back to the angel:
"What's the point of you just taking a look from a distance like this, she has never given up looking for you."
"You are wrong about this. After Xiao Le joined Penguin Logistics, she never deliberately sought out me. Now she has her own life."
"Then when will you return your motorcycle?"
"Hahahaha, don't you care?"
"..."
Seeing Fiameta's dark face, Mastema stopped teasing her after laughing:
"This motorcycle should be bought by Croissant as a birthday present for Xiao Le, and it can be delivered to her home before midnight."
……
December 12, 23:2.PM
Shi Lei walked out of the Lin family's mansion, and told Croissant about the situation that the Shu King sent people to verify:
"If someone steals a motorcycle, I'm afraid they won't go home for a while. When the thief is caught in the future, Angel's birthday may be over. How about another gift?"
Croissant was very annoyed at the mistakes he caused, and said rather discouragedly:
"Another birthday present? For what?"
Shi Lei has known Angel Neng for a month, and doesn't know much about her preferences, so he tried to mention a few:
"Lots of beers and roasts, a huge pizza to order, and a big party. I don't know if she likes sweets, and if she does, she can order a birthday cake. That's all you can think of, see you Is there anything else that needs to be added?"
"It's something she likes, but it's not exactly a birthday present."
Shi Lei disagreed with her point of view, and argued:
"But the motorcycle can't be found, can't it? If I could find it, I wouldn't choose these alternatives. An angel is not a material person. As long as she is happy with her, it will be a wonderful birthday."
Ke Song lowered his head and sighed helplessly:
