《Once Upon a Time in a Foreign Land》Chapter 170 : Nangong Yiren
Advertisement
They could all hear Yixiong's voice being quite loud as he recounted the contents of the package to the police. He told them in detail. He even read out word for word what was written in the two letters inside the package. After that, Yixiong seemed to listen well to the words of the person on the other end. Qiuzhen, who was listening through the other Huaxiang, didn't say anything at all. He just kept quiet and listened to the conversation between Yixiong and the police.
Yixiong's conversation with the police took about ten to twelve minutes. Even though it didn't take long, the atmosphere in the house made Yiren so impatient. After the conversation ended, Yixiong and Qiuzhen immediately returned to their seats at the dining table.
"How is it? Who this time has to go deliver these two letters to the grocery store?" Yiren asked.
"May I speak?" Jingkang suddenly interrupted before Yixiong had time to answer.
"Go ahead," Yixiong said.
"The place where the police are monitoring this incident is right behind this house. So why don't we just punch a hole in the wall in the backyard? I think a box-shaped hole measuring only about twenty centimeters on each side is enough as a way to pass things over this. After all the problems are solved, we can close the hole again. Regarding the owner of the two houses, I don't think they will mind as long as everything is returned to the way it was."
Yixiong smiled at Jingkang's suggestion. "Your suggestion does make sense. But there is something else that makes it impossible. There are two reasons I can say."
Jingkang listened carefully to Yixiong's explanation.
"The first is, the wall in the backyard, which divides the backyard of this house with the backyard of the house behind, is very thick. Besides being thick, the wall is also very strong because it has a metal layer inside. We need special tools to just make a hole in there."

Jingkang nodded. "How did you know that there is a layer of metal inside the wall?"
"The owner of this house told us about it."
"Layers of walls with metal on the inside?" Jingkang gaped. "This is the first time I've heard of such a thing." He shook his head a few times. "Please continue."
"The second is, because special equipment is needed, the noise that will be generated will also disturb people. Sound pollution like that will make anyone who is watching our house suspicious."
"The owner of this house must be a man full of vigilance." Jingkang frowned so that the ends of his eyebrows drew closer together.
Regarding that, we are also curious.
"We also don't know about the reasons behind the decision to build such a wall." Yixiong shook his head weakly. "Is there anything else related to that matter you would like to ask?"
"No, Sir." Jingkang shook his head. "Thank you."
"Now I will answer Yiren's question," Yixiong said. " The police said that this time we should not use the grocery store as a meeting place."
"Is there any indication the criminals knew about it?" Zhengyi asked.
Yixiong shook his head. "Police don't know if the criminals are aware of it or not. They said it is just a precaution in case the grocery store turns out to be also under surveillance."
"Then where is the place the police think is safer? Is it Zhonghang subway station?" Yiren asked.
"The subway station is indeed a good choice. But the police said it is too far away," Qiuzhen quipped.
"Near the grocery store, there is a small stall selling various juices. The police said it is safer there," said Yixiong.

"Sorry, Sir," said Jingkang. "What is the difference? If that place is really close to a grocery store, then the people who watch the grocery store can definitely see who goes into the juice shop."
"May I ask you a question?" Caihong, who had been silent for a long time, also opened his mouth.
"Go ahead," Yixiong said.
"How close is the grocery store to the stall selling a variety of juices?"
"The two shops are very close," said Zhengyi. "It's next to each other."
"In that case," Jingkang spoke again. "My earlier question made even more sense."
"What if we let Mr. Ximen explain first what the police plan really is," said Zhongli.
Everyone nodded.
Yixiong continued his words. "The police said we have to hand over these two letters there, but not where people usually sit to enjoy the fresh juice. We have to walk into the room inside."
"Ah!" Qiuzhen smiled. "I think I can guess what the police mean. The juice shop is between the grocery store and the flower shop."
"Which flower shop?" Yiren tried to remember.
"Ah! That flower shop," Zhengyi immediately responded. He chuckled. "But I think there is something wrong with your explanation."
Qiuzhen nodded. "Okay, I admit it's not quite right to say that the juice shop is between the grocery store and the flower shop. The grocery store and the juice shop face the same direction. The flower shop faces the other way."
"Then what does the juice shop have to do with the flower shop?" Jingkang asked.
"We can enter the inside of the juice shop through the flower shop," said Qiuzhen. "So the person who oversees the grocery store, if that person really exists, might indeed see if one of us goes into the juice shop. However, that person definitely won't be able to see us going into the flower shop."
"Unless that person is following us," Zhengyi said.
"You're right," Qiuzhen said. "But that means he'll be breaking his own disguise. We'll definitely realize right away that the person following us is a member of that group of kidnappers."
Jingkang nodded. The young man's face conveyed satisfaction.
However, Yiren still didn't understand. "Then how do we get into the interior of the juice shop from the flower shop?"

He enjoys the peace and quiet.) However, Kas' dreams of being left alone are banished over and over by challengers with various grievances against him. Among them is Gabriel, the celebrity "Hero" of Akoras, who has just as much time on his hands as Kas. Seriously, Gabriel tries to fight him a lot.
