Dongfang Jenqyih
The statement made by the police officer sounded shocking to the residents of the house. At least, that's what Jenqyih thought. They all looked at each other.
"So Mr. Horngshi wrote our data on the wall of one room in his house?" Iren raised his eyebrows.
"Not on the wall, Sir! So there is a long white board hanging on the wall of that room. Your data is taped to the whiteboard. It seems that Mr. Horngshi is conducting an investigation."
"Inquiry into what?" Iren's eyes filled with wonder.
"We can not conclude yet, Sir!"
"So Mister Horngshi knows about our background and customs." The muscles on Yihshyong's face tensed up. "What kind of background is listed there?"
"All kinds of things, Sir! For example, regarding the date of birth of gentlemen here."
Yihshyong was nodding his head with such fast movements, as if he was impatient. "Other than that, what else?"
"Name and age of the parents, as well as the names of the siblings of the gentlemen who live in this house."
"Huh? To that extent?" Jenqyih screamed loudly. He could not hide his surprise. It was all beyond his expectations.
Iren turned to Yihshyong. He looked like he wanted to open his mouth, but he also seemed hesitant.
What is he trying to say? Has he hesitated because of the presence of the police?
Jenqyih did not know whether the facts that had just been revealed were a surprise or not for his friends. Except for Iren, he saw that Chioujen and Yihshyong's faces didn't seem to have changed so drastically. Chioujen has always had a hard time expressing his feelings. But not so with Yihshyong. Usually, that person was quite expressive. Yihshyong's face indeed turned tense. But apparently, he wasn't too surprised.
Could it really be true that there is something they already know?
"It turns out that Mr. Horngshi has been observing and collecting our data all this time." Iren turned his face back to the police officers. "What's the point of doing that?"
"We don't know yet, Sir! That's why we are looking for Mr. Horngshi, so he can explain what he is really doing." Chioulin said those words with an earnest facial expression. "What do you think? Are there any other questions?"
Yihshyong, Iren, Jenqyih, and Chioujen shook their heads in unison. Jenqyih saw that his friends' foreheads were full of wrinkles.
What are they thinking? Is it the same as what I think?
"Thank you! Now you may come back!" Chioulin said in a firm voice to the two men.
"Yes, Sir!" The two uniformed policemen saluted Chioulin. They both then quickly left the house. Chioulin and his two co-workers sat back down.
Chioulin Shinnjaang then asked Yihshyong, Iren, and Jenqyih to return to sit on the couch. After that, he attempted to gather more information.
"Is there anything else you remember about Mr. Horngshi? For example, did he ever tell you about where he worked or the places he frequented?"
Yihshyong shook his head. "We are not very close to him. He has only been living here for about five months. We often see him walking around this housing complex alone."
"We also don't know what his job is," said Iren. "He never said anything about it."
"You guys never asked him at all?" Chioujen, who was still standing, pursed his lips.
"Never," said Iren. "I'm assuming he doesn't have a job. So I thought a question like that would make things awkward."
Chioulin thought for a moment. After that, he opened his mouth. "All right, gentlemen! Now I have to go back. I think that around two o'clock, the police will come here to ask you for information about what happened to you last night."
I hope the process won't take too long. After that, we still have to go to the hospital. I think it will be inconvenient if we get there after dark.
Chioulin and his two co-workers stood up.
"We will wait for their arrival, Sir!" Yihshyong, Iren, and Jenqyih also got up from the couch.
Ring!
Their phone rings. Yihshyong turned to Iren. Seeing the look in Yihshyong's eyes, Iren immediately moved. Because there was no barrier between the living room and family room, Jenqyih could clearly see Iren running to the living room to answer the phone call.
"Hello!" said Iren.
Iren nodded as he listened to the words of the person on the other end.
"One moment, Sir!" Iren put the receiver next to the telephone. He ran back into the living room. "From the police station. They want to speak to Mr. Chioulin."
"Thank you, Sir!" Accompanied by Iren, Chioulin walked into the living room. He picked it up and held the receiver up to his ear.
Chioulin didn't say much. He just listened and nodded. After that, he hung up.
"What's wrong, Sir? Is there any news regarding Mr. Beeihae?" Yihshyong immediately asked when Chioulin returned to the living room.
"That's right, Sir! But before that, I want to say something. Later, there will be several police officers coming here to take back the communication equipment that the police had previously lent."
Yihshyong nodded. "I understand, Sir."
Jenqyih realized things like splitters and cordless telephones had to be returned soon. Not only that, the police also lent them a new telephone and a splitter.
"Chioujen, you try to bring here a device that can detect whether there is a bugging device in our house," said Yihshyong. "Just put it beside our phone. So, later, the police who come will just have to take everything there."
Right away, Chioujen walked into the room. In a flash, he came out again. He was holding a tool and a manual. Chioujen instantly put the items in the appropriate places Yihshyong had just said.
Yihshyong turned his head back to Chioulin. "So, what's the latest news regarding Mr. Beeihae?"
"Mr. Beeihae has regained consciousness. At first, the doctor also allowed the police to talk briefly with Mr. Beeihae. But then, because Mr. Beeihae seemed very weak and had difficulty breathing, the doctor asked the police to leave the room again."
"One moment, Sir! Why didn't the police transfer Mr. Beeihae to the police hospital? If Mr. Beeihae is treated at the police hospital, wouldn't it be easier for the police to ask for information from Mr. Beeihae?" asked Iren.
"The hospital where Mr. Horngshi brought Mr. Beeihae is a large hospital and has very complete facilities. The police hospital is no less complete, but the doctors at the hospital where Mr. Beeihae is being treated won't allow us to move Mr. Beeihae now."
"Didn't you say Mr. Beeihae was just unconscious? Did it turn out that there were other conditions that could endanger his life?" Yihshyong's face changed again.
"Until now, I don't know any further, Sir. From the report I received earlier, there doesn't seem to be any problem with Mr. Beeihae's health. But maybe the doctors there have other considerations. They say, if within twenty-four hours, Mr. Beeihae's condition has improved significantly, so we can transfer him to the police hospital."
"So the police haven't had time to ask anything?" Yihshyong pursed his lips and exhaled noisily.
"Before the doctor asked the police to leave the room, Mr. Beeihae said that Mr. Horngshi was the one who saved him. So Mr. Horngshi came to the place where Mr. Beeihae was being held and took Mr. Beeihae from there."
Chioulin Shinnjaang's words were hard to believe. Jenqyih can't help but frown. The police and secret organizations were unable to track down where the kidnappers had taken Shinnshiow captive, but an apparently jobless old man like Mr. Horngshi could get in there and rescue Shinnshiow.
Who exactly is that person?
"So, it turns out that it wasn't the kidnappers who freed Mr. Beeihae. But someone helped him escape." Chioujen said slowly.
"What if now we all go to the hospital to see Mr. Beeihae?" Yihshyong said. "He's already aware. We're also not going to ask for detailed things that might make him confused."
Eh? Shyongge changed plans without asking any of us.
Chioulin Shinnjaang looked doubtful.
"We've got permission from the police, Sir!" Tsaehorng, who for some reason was so talkative that morning, also opened his mouth. "You can check at the police station in Yuehming."
Chioulin finally nodded. Jenqyih shook his head. Anyone could see that Young Master Mingju's words were not to be trifled with at all.
Yihshyong's face brightened again. "In that case, I, Iren, Jenqyih, and Tsaehorng and the driver will go to the hospital to see Shinnshiow. Jinqkang, I'll ask you one more favor. How about you watch the house for a few hours? You can rest as well."
Jinqkang smiled. He nodded.
"Wait a second, Sir." Before Jinqkang could even open his mouth, Chioulin suddenly interrupted the conversation.
"What's the matter, Sir?" Yihshyong asked.
Chioulin was silent for a moment. His face looked once full of inner struggle. He seemed hesitant to say something.
"Just say it, Sir," Yihshyong said.
"The phone call that just came in, not only reporting on Mr. Beeihae's condition. There is also the latest news about Mr. Yeuduo."
"You mean the news about Yeuduo Jendaw? The person whose wallet has Mr. Duanmuh's name and telephone number?" asked Iren.
"That's right, Sir! He has regains consciousness. His condition isn't too bad. He's been able to speak fluently to the police who are on duty at the hospital."
"That's wonderful news," said Iren.
"But he doesn't want to say anything. He only asks that we allow him to contact Mr. Duanmuh. He said that he is willing to talk at length about what they have experienced only after he spoke to Mr. Duanmuh."
"Why does he want to talk to Mr. Duanmuh?" Jenqyih asked.
"I don't know Sir! It seems that he doesn't trust anyone. At the moment, he is only willing to talk to Mr. Duanmuh."
"Does he know Mr. Duanmuh is missing?" Yihshyong asked.
"We haven't told him, Sir. We're worried that the news will only make him shut his mouth even tighter."
"What about the other guy? Haven't the police gotten around to questioning him yet? Isn't he still in the hospital, too?" Iren bombarded Chioulin with questions.
"The other person, Maachaang Shentay, doesn't seem to know anything. Indeed, he is a journalist under Mr. Yeuduo. But according to his own admission, his position is only as bodyguard for Mr. Yeuduo. He has also just joined the magazine where Mr. Yeuduo works for one month ."
"But he already gave out some pretty important information, right?" Chioujen said.
"That's right, Sir! Based on the information he had provided, we managed to find the place where the journalists were being held before. But the place was empty. So we came to a dead end. We hope that Mr. Yeuduo will be able to provide other information that will be a breakthrough in our investigation."
"Then where is the other person now? What was his name earlier?" said Iren. "Maachaang Shentay?"
"That's right, Sir. Maachaang Shentay." Chioulin nodded firmly. "Last night we moved Mr. Maachaang to another place. It turns out there was another case where we consider him to be an important witness."
Yihshyong's facial muscles hardened. "What case, Sir? Can you tell me?"
Chioulin Shinnjaang sighed. "I really want to tell you, but I haven't received the obvious information about it myself. Regarding Mr. Maachaang's transfer, I also just found out from the phone just now. Officially, I am not the party handling Mr. Yeuduo's case."
"Then what can we help you with, Sir?" Jenqyih didn't understand what Chioulin meant.
"I really don't feel comfortable saying this, Sir. But I have to say it." Chioulin's face looked awry.
"Don't worry, Sir! We'll do our best to help," said Tsaehorng.
"Mr. Yeuduo wants to talk to Mr. Duanmuh. We said that Mr. Duanmuh was out of town, so he couldn't meet Mr. Yeuduo." Chioulin Shinnjaang said that very carefully. It was as if he was afraid of offending others.
"So right now Mr. Yeuduo is waiting for the police who are trying to contact Mr. Duanmuh in another city?" asked Iren.
"That's right, Sir! It seems that the colleagues who are handling Mr. Yeuduo's case have improvised. I'm not saying that this is the right thing, but this is indeed one way."
Jenqyih began to feel what Chioulin meant. Once again, he shook his head. This time, with much weaker movements.
Turns out they want to copy the way we did!
Jenqyih was amazed at himself. Usually, he was the slowest in understanding something. But not for that time.
"Ah! So that's what you mean! I understand, Sir!" Yihshyong nodded. His smile widened.
Shyongge seems to have understood too.
"So, what do you think?" Chioulin looked at Yihshyong with an expectant look.
Yihshyong chuckled. "You'd better ask directly to the person concerned."
"I understand now," Tsaehorng said. "Jinqkang, do you understand?"
"Are you asking me to pretend to be Mr. Duanmuh Shannchyuan?" Jinqkang asked carefully.
"I know that this is not an act that you would consider ethical," said Chioulin. "After that, of course, we have to be honest with Mr. Yeuduo."
"But what if it turns out that Mr. Yeuduo asks me things I don't know?" Jinqkang's face was full of doubt.
"The two of them don't know each other well. So, it's possible that Mr. Yeuduo doesn't know Dahge's secret either," said Iren. "If Shinnshiow, who meets Dahge every day, can believe that he is talking to Dahge on the phone, then it is more likely that Mr. Yeuduo will also believe. I think this will be a little easier than convincing Shinnshiow."
"There's no guarantee that Mr. Yeuduo will believe that the person talking to him is Uncle Duanmuh. But I think it's worth a try," said Tsaehorng.
"All right! I'll try!" Jinqkang finally nodded.
"Previously, we had to brief Mr. Duanmuh first at the police station?" Chioulin said.
"Which police station, Sir?" Yihshyong asked.
"Police station in Yuehming. So it's not far from here. Later, the police at the hospital will call the police station in Yuehming."
"Are the police going to send a car to pick up Jinqkang?" Yihshyong asked.
"That's right, Sir! There will be a car to pick up Mr. Duanmuh. Maybe the car will arrive in about half an hour. After that, they will also drive Mr. Duanmuh back here or to another place that Mr. Duanmuh wants."
"Will the police, who will take the communication equipment that they lent us, also come with the car that will pick up Jinqkang?" asked Iren.
"No, Sir! Maybe it will be around two o'clock in the afternoon when they will be here."
"Are you also going to the hospital?" Yihshyong asked.
Chioulin Shinnjaang shook his head. "No, Sir! I was ordered to go to the police station in Yuehming to examine the objects we found at Mr. Horngshi's house. Apart from that, I also have to concentrate on finding the two bags that the kidnappers managed to take away."
Yihshyong nodded. "Because it turns out that Jinqkang has to leave the house, so there must be someone else willing to look after the house."
"I'll just stay at home." Jenqyih immediately opened her mouth. "It's okay."
"Yihge, you go to the hospital. I know you really want to meet Shiowge. I'll just stay at home," Chioujen said.
"Are you sure?" Jenqyih asked.
"I'm pretty sure," Chioujen nodded. "You take it easy."
Chioujen's guess was right. Shinnshiow was kidnapped when he went out of the house with Jenqyih. Jenqyih felt guilty about that. So, of course, quickly, he wanted to see for himself how Shinnshiow was doing.
Yihshyong nodded. "Okay! Then, shall we go now?"
"Will Tsaehorng's car fit all of us?" asked Iren.
"Of course it's enough. There are only five of us," Yihshyong said.
"You're right," Iren laughed. "Mr. Chioulin, can we just come to the hospital right away?"
"Don't worry, Sir! There will be a police car escorting you, gentlemen," Chioulin said. "Yanguu, you take them to the hospital where Mr. Beeihae is being treated."
"Yes, Sir!" Yanguu said.
"There is one more thing, Sir," Yihshyong said.
"Please tell me, Sir." Chioulin nodded.
"Regarding the police officers who will come to ask for information from us, Sir. Since there is a change of plans like this, so we are going to the hospital right now. I think they better come a little later in the afternoon. I'm afraid we won't be back home until after four in the afternoon."
Chioulin nodded. "I understand, Sir. Later I will tell them to delay a bit. Around five in the afternoon, can you?"
"Thank you, Sir." Yihshyong nodded respectfully.
Chioulin smiled. "What if one of the gentlemen here joins the police car?"
"Jenqyih, you come with Mr. Yanguu," said Yihshyong.
Jenqyih nodded.
"Chioujen, don't worry, we'll buy your favorite food as souvenirs later," said Yihshyong.
Chioujen just laughed at Yihshyong's comforting words.
"Okay! Then let's go now!" Clenching his right fist, Yihshyong said loudly in a steady voice.
