《Once Upon a Time in a Foreign Land》Chapter 159 : Nangong Yiren

Caihong nodded. "That's right, Uncle! So every time you go out of the house, you can bring this face sketch. So, if at any time you have to ask someone, then you just show them the sketch. Each of us got three sheets. Each person gets three sheets, so we can give them to someone else if necessary. If it's not enough, I'll print more later."
"Good idea," said Yixiong. "But I think, apart from the sketch of the mysterious girl's face, we should also bring along a photo of Dage and Miss Lüqiu."
"That's what I've done, Uncle!" said Caihong. "I've printed the photos of Uncle Duanmu and Miss Lüqiu."
"Where did you get Miss Lüqiu's photo from?" Yiren asked.
"From my friend, who is a news producer. There is a photo of Miss Lüqiu, whose face is very clear."
Yixiong nodded. "Good job!"
"Before I forget, I better give it to you now," said Caihong. After that, he gave photos of Shanquan, Yingyue, and the sketch of the mysterious girl's face to everyone there. After placing the photos and sketches in a safe place in the bedroom, they then gathered back at the dining table.
"So things related to the photos and facial sketches have been sorted out. Now I want to make sure about other things," said Yixiong. "Qiuzhen, may I ask you something?"
"Please, Feel free to say it."
"How about the matter related to those two little bags?"
"I did the best I could. You saw for yourself that I changed our phones."
"Thank you. How about another thing?"
"That's settled too. I've checked all over the house. Not a single bug was detected."
"Did you ever involve Zhengyi in your activities?"

"Yihge really helped me a lot. Thank you, Yihge."
Zhengyi nodded. He smiled widely. "But I didn't help much. When I got home, Qiuzhen was almost done with everything. So there really wasn't much for me to do."
"I think each of us has tried our best," Qiuzhen said.
Yixiong nodded several times. "Have you reported that to the police? They need to know as soon as possible."
"Earlier, before you left, the police called us again. I told them about it."
"Very good! Thank you." Yixiong seemed happy to hear that. "Is there anything else? You seem to have something to say."
"Xiongge just told me it was Mr. Shiuander who took you to Qingzhong Park," said Qiuzhen. "Does that mean that our neighbor already knows everything?"
Yixiong took a deep breath before answering Qiuzhen's question. "We didn't tell him about the kidnapping. But he's not a fool. So I think he can guess roughly what we're dealing with. Moreover, there was an arrest at Qingzhong Park. He must have heard from the people who came out of the garden. Guessing what has happened and is happening is not as difficult as putting together a puzzle."
"What about the Biaoshu disappearance? Does he already know?" asked Qiuzhen.
"We have to tell him. Earlier, the situation required us to share the information with him," Yixiong said.
"May I make a suggestion?" asked Qiuzhen.
"Please say so," Yixiong said. "
"So much happened today. Wouldn't it be better if we did some sort of evaluation first? Let's briefly discuss the things that we have experienced. After that, we can talk about other things."
Yixiong looked at Qiuzhen. "That we can do after we open this package. Looking at the contents of this package won't take much time."

"Right. But I'm afraid that once we open this package and then see the contents, we will be tempted to make comments immediately about the contents of this package. After that, we might even forget to discuss other things that are no less important. I want us to review everything first. Because if we don't discuss these things quickly, I'm afraid there are details we forget."
Yiren nodded. He looked around. The gazes of the people there were clear enough.
Xiongge should have realized that everyone agreed with Qiuzhen's words.
Yixiong looked at Zhengyi. Zhengyi also seemed to want to say something. Maybe it was related to the information he got while trying to find out about the condition of the victims at the mall. But, right away, he seemed to give up his intention to speak.
"Okay! Let's first discuss the series of events that we experienced today," said Yixiong.
Yiren realized Yixiong had done his best to lead them. With Shanquan absent, it was only natural for Yixiong to take over. However, Yixiong was not Shanquan. There were things that were clearly different between the two of them. Yiren couldn't describe what the difference was, but he and maybe other friends could feel it too.
This is a reality we have to face. Everyone has a unique style of handling things. Such a natural thing is by no means a big deal.
"This morning, you all gave statements to the police. I think there are a lot of things the police don't tell us. Things that if we knew might be very helpful because those things are key clues to the problems we are facing."
Yixiong paused for a moment before he continued again. The criminals certainly knew about the involvement of the police. I'm pretty sure they will try to devise a way to trick the police."
Once again, Yixiong paused for a while. He looked at his friends. Yiren suspected Yixiong was trying to convince himself that his friends were listening well to what he had to say. Therefore, Yiren tried to listen earnestly. He was amazed and saluted Yixiong. Despite being under Shanquan's shadow, Yixiong always tried to do his best.
