Chapter 092
Shimen Yihshyong
Moments later, Yihshyong felt it was time for him to return home. It was so cold, Yihshyong had to hurry inside. Like Shannchyuan, he wasn't young anymore. The night air that felt so cold piercing, was no longer a friend whom he could always miss. Those days were long gone for people their age.
"Why did Shyongge lock the door?" Iren looked at Yihshyong with a look of surprise when Yihshyong was already in their living room.
"Oh, sorry!" Yihshyong patted his forehead. He realized he had just locked the door to their living room. "I just locked the door out of reflex. I forgot that there are still people who have to leave this place soon."
"Not only that." Iren sighed. "Chioujen hasn't come back either."
"Eh?" Yihshyong was stunned. "He hasn't come back yet?"
Iren shook his head. "I don't know why he's been out there so long. Maybe he's drunk the juice at the juice stall."
"Can drinking juice really make people drunk?" Jinqkang replied to Iren's words. The young man looked surprised to hear the words that came out of Iren's mouth.
"It doesn't matter what he drinks." Iren laughed. "Drinking anything can make Chioujen drunk!"
"Enough of our joking." Jenqyih looked at Iren with a very serious look. "We'd better give Shyongge a chance to sit down now. You can see that Shyongge looks tired."
Yihshyong laughed at Jenqyih's joke.
"I'm talking seriously, but Shyongge just laughs," said Jenqyih.
Ah! He is really serious this time!
"Sorry!" Yihshyong then sat down on the couch.
"How did your conversation go?" Iren opened his mouth again when Yihshyong was sitting comfortably on the living room couch. "What's Mr. Shiuander's comment?"
"He is willing to help us." Yihshyong smiled.
"This is fantastic news." Jenqyih clapped his hands. He smiled so widely.
Iren nodded excitedly. "I'm glad that Mr. Shiuander will take us to the distributor of the bag. We can rest easy because we have one less problem."
"When are we going there" Jenqyih looked at Yihshyong. "Tomorrow morning, right?"
Yihshyong nodded. "Right! We're leaving at six in the morning."
"So now, can I go home, Uncle?" Tsaehorng asked.
"Of course," Yihshyong said. "Sorry if I was out too long!"
"I'm relieved to hear that too." Jongli Jyhren joined in. "I'll say goodbye too. I still have some things to do."
"Eh? You're not going home soon to rest?" asked Jenqyih.
"Of course I'll go home. But first there are things I have to finish."
"Alright, now let's help Mr. Jongli so he can get into this cardboard box. Then we will put this thing into Tsaehorng's car," said Iren.
"But before leaving this place, I have something to say. I don't know if this has anything to do with Mr. Beeihae's kidnapping case or not, but I have to say it anyway."
Jongli Jyhren blurted such a thing. Yihshyong tried not to show any expression. But he found it so strange.
Just before leaving here, he said something important. This clearly doesn't make sense. Is there a specific purpose behind this kind of action?
"Please, Mr. Jongli," said Yihshyong. "We'd better talk while sitting down."
They all then sat on the couch in the living room. After taking a breath, Jongli Jyhren started to open his mouth.
"On the day of Mr. Beeihae's kidnapping, the special security forces in this city have found two people hiding in a room in Dahfeisy Tower."
"Special security forces?" Iren frowned.
"I mean, the public security bureau," said Jongli.
The atmosphere became quiet. Everyone was trying to digest the sentence Jongli Jyhren just said.
What is this? What exactly is going on? An important thing like this, why didn't he say it when he came here with Jenqyih?
Yihshyong turned to Jenqyih. His roommate looked confused. It turned out that Jenqyih knew nothing about it either.
"Who are they, Sir? Do they have anything to do with our friend's kidnapping case?" Iren leaned forward. So inclined that it looked as though he was about to fall forward.
"They are two journalists who work for an investigative magazine whose headquarters are not in this city. They came here to investigate something. One of them said that the case they were investigating was a big one."
Big case? Are they investigating the same thing as Songfei is investigating? Is this a coincidence? Or do they also know Songfei?
"Since when have they been hiding in that place, Sir?" Iren asked.
"They said they were there for two days," Jongli said.
"That means they came to the building two days before Shinnshiow's abduction," Jenqyih said.
Jongli nodded vigorously.
Uh? That was when Dahge and Miss Liuchiou went to that place! How could the two of them not meet the journalists? Where are those people hiding? Besides, it's a bit absurd that Hannrong didn't know there were people hiding in the building!
"How can they hide in that place, Sir?" Yihshyong asked.
"They hid there after escaping from the gangs of criminals. So, before, the criminal group they were investigating had captured them. But they managed to escape."
"How did they get into the building?" Iren asked.
"They said that someone was helping them. That person gave them the key to the fence and the key to the back door of the building."
"Is the person helping them one resident or tenant of the unit in the building?" Yihshyong asked.
"They don't know who that person is. But they said that he also did not know the exact location of the building. So it looked like he's not a tenant in the unit there. But most likely, he was just an errand boy. We concluded that the person who ordered him and at the same time provided the keys was one tenant there."
Yihshyong and Iren looked at each other. Yihshyong knew that Iren also had the same suspicion. It was very likely that the person was Songfei. Yihshyong looked at Jenqyih. Just like before, Jenqyih looked surprised and confused. It was clear Jenqyih knew nothing and didn't seem to have any guesses.
"Has the institution where you work questioned the two people directly?" This time, it was obvious that Tsaehorng could not bear to remain silent and just listen to their conversation.
"I am not part of the city's special security, so my agency has not heard directly from the two people," said Jongli Jyhren.
"So another agency found them," Yihshyong said. "But don't they have an obligation to provide all the information they get to your agency?"
"It's not that simple." Jongli Jyhren shook his head. "That's why I only found out about this twenty-four hours after they found those two people. According to the information we received, there were five of them in all. Three are from an investigative magazine and two are from a newspaper."
There are five people? How many people investigated that?
"The five people managed to escape. But they did it thanks to someone's help. That person, after giving them the keys, then immediately left them."
"What happened to the other three, Sir?" Iren asked.
"They were then separated. Most likely, the two people from the newspaper were caught back by the criminals. Three people from this investigative magazine were then separated as well. The two men managed to get into the building, while another person, namely a woman, did not get into the building. It is possible that the criminals recaptured the woman as well."
So it was that incident that Miss Liuchiou witnessed! Everything is clear now. These cases are indeed related to each other!
"About those two journalists. Are they in good health?"
"One person is healthy, so we obtained all this information from that person. The other person is still unconscious. When he was found, the man was actually still conscious, but when he was taken to the hospital, his condition worsened."
"The police know about this, don't they?" Yihshyong asked.
"They already know. Even the police have been combing the place where the criminals had held the journalists before they managed to escape."
"Where is it, Sir?" Yihshyong asked.
"It's in an old building in the nearby forest," said Jongli. "But there's nothing there. The criminals have left their base. So the other three journalists haven't been found."
"Thank you very much, Sir for the notification. We wonder why the police didn't tell us about this," said Iren.
"The police will tell you only the things that are directly related to the kidnapping of Mr. Beeihae," said Jongli Jyhren.
"Is there anything else you want to say?" Yihshyong asked.
"Of course there is. This is the more important thing."
Anything else important? Turns out it is a long night!
"What else, Sir?" Yihshyong asked.
"One of the two journalists, who is still unconscious, does not hold any identity. It is not clear where his wallet fell. One agent at the organization I work for found the object in one place in the Dahfeisy Tower. We don't know why the police and the Public Security Bureau failed to find the object earlier."
What does he really want to say?
"Are there any additional clues that you got from that person's wallet?" asked Tsaehorng. The young man seemed very interested in the new information.
"That person's name is Yeuduo Jendaw," said Jongli Jyhren. "Do any of you know him?"
Yihshyong looked at his friends. They all looked at each other questioningly.
"None of us know him. Why do you think he is someone we know?" Iren asked.
"Because in his wallet we found the address and phone number of this house," said Jongli Jyhren.
Everyone looked at each other again with a look that was hard for Yihshyong to describe.
"Maybe Dahge knows the person," Jenqyih said.
"Did you ever hear Dahge talk about that guy?" Iren asked Jenqyih.
"Never! But none of us present here knows that person. So, maybe he is an acquaintance of Dahge."
"Not necessarily, said Iren. "That person could be Shinnshiow's friend. Or maybe Chioujen's."
"Dahge's friend, Chioujen's friend, or Shinnshiow's friend, the three of them aren't here right now. So the bottom line is that the person knows about us," Yihshyong said.
"We have reason to suspect that Mr. Jongharng does not know the person named Yeuduo Jendaw," said Jongli Jyhren.
How could he know Chioujen didn't know that person? Could it be that Chioujen already knew about this?
"Then that person is either Dahge's friend or Shinnshiow's friend," Yihshyong said.
"Why didn't the police ask us about that person?" Iren asked.
"Because the police and this city's public security bureau don't know about the whereabouts of the wallet yet. We only found it four hours ago. Maybe in a few hours we will pass this information on to them."
Yihshyong was surprised to hear that. But soon after that, he could understand it.
Coordination among law enforcement agencies in this city is terrible! A strange thing like this, isn't it so embarrassing?
"All right, Sir! Thank you very much for the information," said Yihshyong.
"This is my duty," said Jongli Jyhren. "Moreover, Mr. Dongfang is my friend."
Yihshyong glanced at Jenqyih. His friend was silent. He may need some time to digest the new information that comes rushing in.
"If there is any new information, I will immediately report it," said Jongli Jyhren.
"Again, thank you," Yihshyong said.
"Okay Mr. Mingju," said Jongli Jyhren. "I think we can go now."
Tsaehorng quickly stood up when he heard Jongli Jyhren's words. It was obvious that he was very sleepy. They all then gave way to Jongli Jyhren to approach the cardboard box they had prepared earlier.
Jongli Jyhren smiled. Quickly, he stepped into the cardboard box. After Jongli Jyhren lay curled up in the box, they closed the box. Iren stepped towards the entrance and opened it.
Their living room door was a double-sided door, so they can open it wide when putting in or taking out large items. Iren opened both sides of the door. Together, they lifted the cardboard box to the front yard. Tsaehorng's car was only about two meters from the front yard terrace. Because they lifted the cardboard box together, it didn't feel heavy at all.
They would put the cardboard box in the back seat of the car. Tsaehorng opened the back door of his car. He got into the back seat of the car to get ready to receive the cardboard box.
The other friends lifted the cardboard box and directed it to the back seat. The car door was much narrower than their house door. So they had a little trouble getting the cardboard box into the car. Fortunately, the car Tsaehorng used was a fairly large car, so even though there were a few problems, they managed to put the cardboard box in the back seat of the car.
"I'm leaving now, Uncle," said Tsaehorng. "Before six in the morning, I'll be back here again."
"Six o'clock in the morning, we will leave in Mr. Shiuander's car. So you don't have to be here so early," Yihshyong said.
"It's all right, Uncle. Maybe in the morning you have other things to do. Other things that you haven't even thought of yet."
Yihshyong smiled. Tsaehorng seemed very excited. Maybe for the past six months, he had been bored with living a peaceful life in another city. As soon as he returned to this city and encountered something like this, his spirit rekindled.
"Jinqkang, you are on standby in this house!" Tsaehorng pointed straight at Jinqkang.
"Yes, Sir!" Jinqkang saluted in a firm voice.
Iren opened the gate of the house. Tsaehorng started the car. Before the car started moving, a figure appeared from behind the gate and went straight into their yard.
"Chioujen! Don't stand there. The car is about to go out," said Iren. At that time, Chioujen looked confused. He was standing right in front of Tsaehorng's car.
"Sorry, Uncle, I have to go home now." Tsaehorng poked his head out the window.
"Be careful on the road," Chioujen said. He walked to the side, towards the other friends who were standing next to the car. In his right hand, he was carrying a plastic package.
"What do you bring?" Yihshyong asked.
"I went to the juice shop. So, it would be weird to come home with nothing. So I bought some drinks for all of us."
Iren laughed. "Too bad Tsaehorng can't enjoy this juice with us."
"That's all right, Uncle. Maybe next time I can come with you guys for pizza and some juice."
The car then started to run. Tsaehorng waved his hand at the people presented.
After Tsaehorng's car left, they then went back into the house.
"Let's eat pizza first and drink juice. After that, we have to get some rest," said Iren.
"Tomorrow, who's going to go look for the bag?" Jinqkang asked.
"Iren and I will go with Mr. Shiuander to look for bags. Chioujen, replacing Jenqyih, will look for information related to the victims of the light explosion incident at the mall," said Yihshyong. "Jenqyih and you will stay at home. If something unexpected happens, you two will take care of it."
"So we're going to involve Mr. Shiuander again in our affairs?" asked Chioujen.
"Ah! There is a recent development. Earlier, when you left, we found an interesting fact. It turned out that Mr. Shiuander's friend is a distributor of the brand of the bag in the photo inside the package," said Iren.
"Wow! Every second there is a surprisingly recent development," said Chioujen.
