Night’s Nomenclature

Lu Yuan was a little excited. He had almost figured out the relationship between Liu Dezhu and Hu Xiaoniu, and also figured out the context of tonight.

So, he immediately sent his idea to Zheng Yuandong: Hu Xiaoniu invited Liu Dezhu to trade first, and in the process of taking the gold bars, Liu Dezhu accidentally encountered the gangster with Kunlun. The four of them, Hu Xiaoniu, are all time walkers, and Liu Dezhu is already qualified to trade with others.

However, just when Lu Yuan was happily waiting for his boss's praise, the message from Zheng Yuandong poured cold water on him: "Your analysis is wrong."

Lu Yuan was confused: "Boss, what's wrong?"

"After Hu Xiaoniu had an appointment with Liu Dezhu, instead of waiting at home, he went to visit his neighbors. Would you visit your neighbors before making an important transaction?" Zheng Yuandong asked.

"No, this is not in line with behavioral logic." Lu Yuan suddenly understood what the boss meant: "Boss, you are saying that in fact, Hu Xiaoniu didn't know Liu Dezhu would come at all, and they had no agreement."

"Yes," Zheng Yuandong asked again: "If you were Liu Dezhu's character and someone asked for something from you, would you squat downstairs for more than 20 minutes without getting angry?"

"No, I would think the other party is too arrogant. I broke up with my ex-girlfriend because she was too arrogant. She had to make me wait for half an hour every time I went out," Lu Yuan replied.

Zheng Yuandong asked: "What if I ask you to wait for half an hour? Will you wait?"

Lu Yuan said with a guilty conscience: "Boss, do I dare not wait... You mean, Liu Dezhu has another boss!"

Zheng Yuandong said: "So, do you think your previous conclusion is correct?"

Lu Yuan suddenly realized that yes, he had indeed discovered many clues before, but they simply could not withstand careful scrutiny.

Liu Dezhu said that although he met Hu Xiaoniu with the clues about getting the gold bars, no one knew whether Liu Dezhu was faking it or deliberately creating some kind of coincidence to mislead outsiders.

In fact, the reason why Liu Dezhu was thinking about gold bars was because Qingchen mentioned the gold bars to him.

At this time, Zheng Yuandong replied: "Someone deliberately hid a clue, which led you to the wrong conclusion. This clue is the most obscure, but also the most critical: who asked Liu Dezhu to come to No. 4 Yard, Executive Road, Whoever discovered the traces of the gangsters, who could make Liu Dezhu willingly squat for more than 20 minutes."

Lu Yuan said in a daze: "Tonight...there is another person we don't know, behind the scenes."

Suddenly, he felt a chill in his back, as if he was performing his best on the stage tonight, but someone was watching quietly in the darkness outside the stage.

You don't know who he is, you don't even know he's looking at you.

Zheng Yuandong replied to WeChat: "This person should be what I said, the third time walker in Prison No. 18. He controlled Liu Dezhu's behavior tonight and connected us together like a thread. But don't worry, at least The other side seems friendly now."

Lu Yuan felt that his brain was a bit out of use. Maybe only someone like the boss could deal with the mysterious time walker...

"Boss, how about I find an opportunity to interrogate Liu Dezhu? Then we might know who it is."

Zheng Yuandong replied: "That will turn the original friends into enemies."

…

Countdown to 23:50:00.

At 11:50 midnight, Qingchen was not asleep.

He lay quietly on the floor of the living room, with the mattress Jiang Xue had laid out for him under him.

Jiang Xue's house was smashed up, and there were still five suspects at large, so the mother and daughter finally stayed at Qingchen's house temporarily.

In the dilapidated, dark room on the first floor, there is occasionally a damp smell.

A few ants would pop up in the kitchen from time to time, but Qingchen never paid attention to them.

Jiang Xue cleaned the room carefully at night, as if silently thanking Qingchen for his protection.

Qingchen couldn't sleep, no one else would be able to sleep after going through so many things.

He reviewed everything that happened tonight and confirmed that no one would be able to discover his role in it for the time being.

Even if Liu Dezhu is tortured, others will only know that there is a mysterious behind-the-scenes figure behind Liu Dezhu, but there is no way to know who it is.

What happened tonight seemed to have nothing to do with him, but he was the one who connected all the causes and effects.

This feeling is amazing.

Just like chess, he has always been more suited to the role of the chess player rather than the chess piece.

Not willing to be a pawn.

There was a soft sound in the bedroom. Li Tongyun quietly slipped out of the room with his nightgown and came to sit on the floor next to Qingchen: "Brother Qingchen, you're not sleeping either."

Qingchen leaned on his arms and looked at her: "Why aren't you sleeping yet? Where is your mother?"

Li Tongyun whispered: "My mother is asleep. How do you think about the matter I asked you last time?"

Qingchen asked: "What happened?"

"What are you pretending to be? You have such a good memory, you must know what I'm talking about," Li Tongyun counted on his fingers: "Today is September 29th, tomorrow is the 30th, and the day after tomorrow is National Day!"

Qingchen seemed to have just remembered: "Oh, this matter..."

"Let's go out and play. So many things have happened, let's relax!" Li Tongyun is a child at heart. When he talks about going out to play, his eyes are shining brightly in the dark night.

"If you want to go out to play, go ahead. Why do you have to call me?" Qingchen couldn't laugh or cry.

Li Tongyun lowered his head: "If you don't go, my mother won't go. She said it's too dangerous to go out now, but I think it's more dangerous to stay in the city, and nothing will happen if you go out. It's been mentioned in the news, that organization There are five people left who haven’t been caught, and they must still be keeping an eye on the time walkers in the city!”

Qingchen thought this made sense, but he asked instead, "Do you just want to go out and play?"

"Well, not really," Li Tongyun lowered his little head: "If I don't go out to play during the National Day, I will definitely have to go to cram school again... I have a lot of homework, and there is a lot more in cram school. It’s so annoying! Every time there is a parent-teacher meeting, Zhang Chaoyun’s mother in the class comes out and says that there are so many good cram schools for Zhang Chaoyun that she has enrolled in outside, so my mother insists on letting me go to them.”

Qingchen was stunned. Compared to Li Tongyun's cleverness, intelligence, and precocity, this was more like a child's troubles.

Even if the time traveler incident occurs, the children will not be able to escape the cram school, even if the other party is a direct bloodline of the Li Family Group in the other world...

He smiled and said, "Then where do you want to go? I may not be able to convince your mother."

"No, just agree, and I'll convince her!" Li Tongyun stared at Qingchen with firm eyes: "She just doesn't think it's safe to go out, but you'll be safe if you go with her!"

Logical and rigorous.

Li Tongyun continued: "Let's not go far. Let's go to places around Luocheng, such as Laojun Mountain? I heard the sunrise there is beautiful."

For Li Tongyun, it doesn't matter where he goes. What's most important is escaping the city and cram school.

Qingchen looked at her expectant eyes and smiled: "Okay, I promise you, but if your mother doesn't agree, I can't help you."

"It's a deal!" Li Tongyun returned with her nightgown satisfied.

However, at this moment, a message from Nan Gengchen suddenly came: "Qingchen Qingchen Qingchen, are you here? Are you there?"

Qingchen asked: "What happened in the middle of the night?"

"The day after tomorrow is National Day. Wang Yun has invited some classmates to go to Laojun Mountain to watch the sunrise. Will you go?" Nan Gengchen said on WeChat: "I heard that there are also Hu Xiaoniu, Zhang Tianzhen and Liu Dezhu from the next class. When everyone heard about Liu Dezhu, they all wanted to go."

Nan Gengchen added: "It is said that Hu Xiaoniu from the next door class is treating us, and everyone doesn't have to pay a penny."

Qingchen was stunned for a moment, is it such a coincidence? It is also Laojun Mountain.

The four other people suddenly organized this event, probably because they wanted to take the opportunity of traveling to further deepen their friendship with Liu Dezhu.

After all, Liu Dezhu had just saved their lives.

However, Wang Yun invited Nan Gengchen, but not him.

This thing is a bit strange.

It stands to reason that after the other party hooked up with Liu Dezhu, both Qingchen and Nan Gengchen lost their use value.

But the other party was indifferent to Qingchen, but he was still very enthusiastic towards Nan Gengchen...

It's illogical.

He sent Nan Gengchen a WeChat message and asked, "Does she know your identity as a time traveler?"

Nan Gengchen replied: "I am not a time traveler!"

Qingchen was helpless: "Okay, you're not."

This guy usually barely has the word "time traveler" written on his face. Wang Yun must have discovered Nan Gengchen's secret.

That's why the other party invited Nan Gengchen, a fool.
