Chapter 207 Crossing the River to Find Someone
Lan Yujuan originally thought she could get some useful information from Qi Lei.
As a result, he knew nothing when asked.
Although Qi Lei and Xu Jian lived under the same roof, their lifestyles were completely different.
Qi Lei had a dreadlocked braid, which made him look rebellious, but in reality he was just an honest kid.
I go to bed early and get up early every day, and all I can think about is making money and learning about coffee.
On the contrary, Xu Jian had a buzz cut, was tall and big, and looked like a sunny and cheerful sports student.
She actually weighs 200 pounds, but has 40 pounds of rebellious tendencies! She doesn't come back until dawn and doesn't wake up until dark every day.
Aside from exchanging messages when paying rent and utilities, the two of them mostly just exchange glances.
"Sister, I want to help you too."
"But after leaving that rented room, I really didn't know where to look for Xu Jian."
"Not to mention, we don't even know which bars he usually performs at."
"Why don't you wait a moment, let me ask him first?"
Lan Yujuan refused, "Forget it, don't ask anymore, I'll think of a way myself!"
Chen Mo can definitely get the same information as Qi Lei, and he'll be able to do it even faster.
Just as she was about to hang up the phone, a sudden idea flashed into Lan Yujuan's mind.
"Wait a moment!"
"What's wrong?"
Qi Lei, on the other end of the phone, was clearly startled.
Lan Yujuan quickly said, "Since you have Xu Jian's contact information, could you take a look at his WeChat Moments for me?"
"Look at his recent posts on WeChat Moments, where are his location tags?"
"If it's convenient, please send it to me now."
She really couldn't think of anywhere else that little girl could go besides looking for Xu Jian or going to places Xu Jian frequented.
After hearing her suggestion, Qi Lei immediately opened his WeChat Moments.
"Sis, you know what, we actually found several locations!"
"There are bars and restaurants, and they all seem to be located quite close to each other."
"Wait a minute, I'll send it to you right now!"
Qi Lei was very meticulous. He not only sent over the location, but also screenshots of all the dozen or so posts Xu Jian had made on WeChat Moments over the past month.
After hanging up the phone, Lan Yujuan checked the location on the screen one by one, as well as the time and content of Xu Jian's recent posts on WeChat Moments.
After a series of analyses, Lan Yujuan concluded that among the several bars where Xu Jian frequently sang, one of them always started singing after 3 a.m.
Moreover, every time a photo of the resident singer at this bar is posted, a group of people will immediately appear at another late-night snack shop.
One of the photos shows Xu Jian embracing and kissing a female employee at a late-night snack shop.
Although the female employee only showed half of her face and was wearing an apron, her sexy outfit and glamorous makeup naturally drew people's attention.
Lan Yujuan glanced at it a couple more times, making sure she didn't recognize it, and was about to turn to the next one.
But when her gaze drifted over those long, straight, and beautiful legs, the scene of that day in rented room 802, where spring scenery was suddenly revealed in the master bedroom, immediately came to mind.
Lan Yujuan immediately stopped and zoomed in to examine it closely.
"Could this woman be the one Xu Jian brought home that day?"
Lan Yujuan stood under the streetlight, trying her best to piece together the various fragments of information in her mind.
She quickly pieced together a plan.
Qin Shuyi cares about Xu Jian so much, she must have access to Xu Jian's circle of friends.
Qin Shuyi must have seen that photo and the location where it was posted, and she will definitely remember it.
Since Qin Shuyi has decided to run away from home, she should go directly to the rented apartment or linger near the bar where Xu Jian often hangs out. She will definitely be discovered by Chen Mo's people and brought back.
If she were Qin Shuyi, she would definitely choose to go to a place that Xu Jian goes to every day, but which is not easy to find...
The late-night eatery that Xu Jian posted on his WeChat Moments is almost certainly the place where Xu Jian and his group would have their late-night snacks after getting off work in the early hours of the morning.
Especially these past few days, Xu Jian has been getting very close to the female employee at that late-night snack shop, greatly increasing the likelihood of him going there.
If Qin Shuyi is determined to find Xu Jian, this is the perfect time to stake out that late-night snack shop!
Thinking of this, Lan Yujuan immediately hailed a taxi and headed straight for the late-night snack shop that Xu Jian frequented.
They lived on the east side of the river.
The bar where Xu Jian performs and the late-night snack shop he frequents are both on the west bank of the river.
On the way there by car, you have to cross a long bridge spanning the river.
The middle of the bridge is the motor vehicle lane, and there are also non-motor vehicle lanes and pedestrian lanes on both sides.
After Lan Yujuan got on the bus, she sat quietly in the back, gazing at the river and the night view outside the window in a daze.
The taxi driver was a good conversationalist. He glanced at a spot on the bridge and suddenly sighed.
"A few nights ago, a girl was crossing the bridge on her way home from get off work when she suddenly had suicidal thoughts."
"He threw his phone and bag on the ground, climbed over the fence, and was about to jump!"
Lan Yujuan, sitting in the back row, listened with a pounding heart and couldn't help but ask:
"And then?"
"Is he alright?"
The taxi driver waved his hand with a faint smile, "Don't worry, everyone's fine!"
"Fortunately, a ride-hailing driver with an empty car glanced at it a couple of times as he passed by."
"The driver realized something was wrong, so he stopped the car and ran back. He was so close, so very close, he almost couldn't stop him..."
At this point, even the taxi driver couldn't help but sigh, "That little girl was lucky to be alive! She met a kind person."
"Under normal circumstances, who can react that quickly while driving at night?"
"If it were me, even if that little girl climbed up the fence and sat there, I would probably mistakenly think that she was just brave and wanted to take better photos and enjoy the night view."
For some reason, after hearing this, Lan Yujuan did not feel happy; instead, she felt very heavy-hearted.
"Yes, how could a normal person react that quickly?"
"It's often only those who have experienced the same situation who can truly empathize in an instant!"
Lan Yujuan couldn't help but pray in her heart: May good people be rewarded!
Around 9 p.m., Lan Yujuan finally found the late-night snack shop on the other side of the river using the location on the map.
It turns out that it was a street food stall; the photo only showed the interior and the storefront.
When we arrived at the location, we got out of the car and saw that there was a small square outside the shop with dozens of tables set up.
At this time, the occupancy rate was less than one-third.
Looking around, most of the waitresses, who were responsible for setting up tables and chairs and serving drinks and dishes, and who wore aprons, were young girls.
They all looked quite young, but they were all petite and attractive, and dressed in cool, comfortable clothes.
The empty parking lot not far away, as well as the parking spaces along the roadside, have begun to be filled with cars one after another, mostly luxury cars, a dazzling sight.
Lan Yujuan took a deep breath and walked straight over.
She first looked around, but among the dozens of tables outside the door, she didn't see any familiar faces.
So she turned around and went into the store, looking around as she walked toward the bar.
"Hello, do you have an appointment?"
The waiter behind the bar asked politely and courteously with a smile on his face.
Lan Yujuan gently shook her head. "I'm sorry, I don't have an appointment."
"I'm not eating, I want to come in and find someone."
When the waiter heard that she wasn't going to eat but wanted to come in to find someone, the smile on her face immediately vanished.
"Sorry, the person you are looking for is not here. Please leave!"
The waiter's impatience and indifference were a stark contrast to his earlier enthusiasm.
It was as if Lan Yujuan, standing at the bar, had come in not to find someone, but to cause trouble.
Lan Yujuan took in the other party's attitude and immediately changed her approach.
Instead of leaving, she tapped the bar lightly and asked:
"Are there any seats available tonight? Perfect, I haven't had dinner yet."
The waiter looked disdainful and was about to continue making excuses.
But out of the corner of my eye, I caught sight of the black card she was holding between her fingers as she tapped the bar.
This card was given to her by Chen Mo for household expenses. There's no limit; she can use it as she pleases.
More importantly, this card is a high-end customized card, requiring savings of tens of millions or more, and is only issued in limited quantities after various approvals.
The server behind the counter, who was in charge of taking orders and collecting payments, clearly knew more about the card than she did.
After a moment of shock, his expression immediately changed, and even when he spoke, he subconsciously leaned forward slightly.
"Yes, yes!"
"Ma'am, would you like a private room or a VIP seat? I can arrange either for you!"
Seeing that she had achieved her goal, Lan Yujuan didn't waste any more words. While putting the card away, she frowned and said:
"Just find me a spot with a good view, I'll find someone!"
The waiter immediately came around the bar, smiling obsequiously, and said:
"Sis, who are you looking for? A man or a woman?"
Do you have a photo? Show it to me, and I'll help you find it!
"Sister, let me tell you, I don't have any other skills, but I have a photographic memory for people."
"If anyone you're looking for has appeared in front of me tonight, I remember them 100%!"
