Chapter 20 : Secretly helping
Zhu Xiaoling's cousin's words seemed to have given her a backbone, and her expression softened a lot. However, Xu Qing beside her did not think that the police would be able to collect any useful clues. The three thieves had a clear division of labor and were skilled in their methods. They should not leave too many traces at the scene. To be honest, he thought that the police would lead a dog here. A dog's nose was much smarter than a human's, and he might even be able to follow the scent and chase after them.
Qingzi, if you're tired, go back and rest first. Siyu is here." Zhu Xiaoling looked at Xu Qing, who was in a daze. There was a hint of concern in her voice.
"Well, I'm sorry. Here's the rent I owe you." Xu Qing took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket, counted out some of them and placed them gently on the sofa before turning around and leaving.
Xu Qing blinked his left eye as he walked out of the door. The images of the three thieves appeared again. Xu Qing followed the route of the people in the image and went downstairs. Finally, he saw the three people getting into a white gold cup car less than 200 meters away from the door of the building and speeding away. However, he remembered the license plate number.
Xu Qing took out his PHS and wanted to make a phone call to tell Zhu Xiaoling about the clues he had found. However, after thinking about it, he felt that it was inappropriate. In this way, wouldn't everyone know about his eyes? If this incredible ability was made public, the trouble it would bring in the future would be unpredictable. He might even be kept in a cage as a lab rat or dissected for research…
The more Xu Qing thought about it, the more scared he felt. In the end, his back was soaked in cold sweat. After thinking about it, he stuffed the PHS back into his pocket.
People were selfish. Xu Qing wanted to help the beautiful landlord find the lost property, but he shuddered when he thought of the trouble he would face next. He did not want others to know the ability of his eyes. For a student without a deep background, this might mean disaster.
Xu Qing stood there in a daze, thinking hard, hoping to find a way to have it both ways. In vain, an idea flashed through his mind. A public phone was the kind that could be seen everywhere on the side of the road. As long as he spent money to buy a phone card and ran to a place farther away from his residence to make a phone call, even the police would not be able to find out who provided the clue, right?
Xu Qing ran to the side of the road and stopped a taxi. He went in and said,"Jiang City University." He remembered that there were a few public phone points not far from the entrance of Jiang City University.
Fifteen minutes later, the car stopped in front of a newsstand at the entrance of Jiang City University. Xu Qing went down to buy a public phone card and walked to a public phone booth. During this process, he lowered his head so that no one could see Chu Zheng's face clearly. He even picked up the microphone and looked around carefully. After making sure that no one was paying attention, he dialed Zhu Xiaoling's phone anxiously.
Outside the pavilion, beside the ancient road, fragrant grass and green sky…
Zhu Xiaoling's ringtone was really special. It was actually a very old song called 'farewell.' Zhu Xiaoling picked up the phone without singing a few lines.
Xu Qing held his throat and said in a voice that gave him goosebumps,"If you want to find what you lost, listen carefully. A white gold cup car, license plate Jiang a58xx. There are three thieves in total. One of them has a black nail on his left eyebrow, and one has a horse face…"
Xu Qing repeated the license plate number and hung up the phone. He quickly took out his phone card and left the phone booth. He called a taxi and went back the way he came in. He immediately ran to the table and took the enamel teacup. He was very nervous. His heart was pounding as if he was a thief.
The door to the inner room had been closed, and Qin Bing had already fallen asleep. Xu Qing calmed down and ran to take a shower. He ran to the desk to continue reading the information and posted a red penguin on his Weibo.
Just recorded two pieces of information to distinguish jade grades, beeping! A head popped out from the lower right corner. When he clicked it open, it was that fellow called 'seeing through the mortal world without shaving head'.
Seeing through the mortal world without shaving his head: "Brother, I was pushed back last night. Poor me for working tirelessly for seventeen years and ten months. I originally wanted to be re-elected to university."
Breeze: "(Sweat) Get cheap and sell good, right?"
Seeing through the mortal world without shaving his head: "Hehe, this brother finally experienced the four states of primitive communication between men and women. It's really cool and tiring."
The wind: "Come on! What kind of state can a cadre like you experience?"
See through the world without shaving: "In the beginning, men get hard, women get soft, in progress, men move, women cry, whoosh, men shoot in, women shake up, in the end, men get soft, women still want to come…"
The wind: "Ha ha! You're really talented."
Seeing through the mortal world without shaving his head: "Poor me seven times a night. Telunsu drank a whole box. In the end, what he drank was milk, and what he squeezed out was clear soup and little water."
Breeze: "What's wrong? Low concentration? So you filtered out the essence of seventeen years in one night?"
See through the world without shaving: "Wow! I don't want to accompany you anymore. She wants it again…"After saying this, her profile picture turned black. This guy had gone to experience the state again.
Xu Qing smiled and shook his head. His heart was a little restless. After checking the information, he suddenly felt tired. He turned off the computer and went to sleep.
The next few days were peaceful. Xu Qing spent every day reading books and surfing the Internet. He lived a leisurely life. He took time to get a few bank cards, each with two million yuan deposited in it. However, he ran to the park several times to find the crazy old man, but there was no trace of him. Even if he used his left eye to check, there was no result. In the end, he could only give up helplessly.
There had been no news about the theft from the beautiful landlord's house. Even Xu Qing didn't know about it. The two of them hadn't met each other for the past few days. There were a few times when they passed by her house and saw that the door was locked. He didn't call to ask. After all, their relationship only belonged to the landlord and tenant. It was not good to be too warm.
Xu Qing thought that he had done what he should do. As for whether the thief would be caught according to the clues provided, this was not something he could manage. In a word, it was good to be a man with a clear conscience.
