Chapter 088
Nangong Iren
They could all hear Yihshyong'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, Yihshyong seemed to listen well to the words of the person on the other end. Chioujen, who was listening through the other Huahshiang, didn't say anything at all. He just kept quiet and listened to the conversation between Yihshyong and the police.
Yihshyong's conversation with the police took about ten to twelve minutes. Even though it didn't take long, the atmosphere in the house made Iren so impatient. After the conversation ended, Yihshyong and Chioujen 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?" Iren asked.
"May I speak?" Jinqkang suddenly interrupted before Yihshyong had time to answer.
"Go ahead," Yihshyong 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."
Yihshyong smiled at Jinqkang's suggestion. "Your suggestion does make sense. But there is something else that makes it impossible. There are two reasons I can say."
Jinqkang listened carefully to Yihshyong'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."
Jinqkang 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?" Jinqkang 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." Jinqkang 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." Yihshyong shook his head weakly. "Is there anything else related to that matter you would like to ask?"
"No, Sir." Jinqkang shook his head. "Thank you."
"Now I will answer Iren's question," Yihshyong 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?" Jenqyih asked.
Yihshyong 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 Jongharng subway station?" Iren asked.
"The subway station is indeed a good choice. But the police said it is too far away," Chioujen quipped.
"Near the grocery store, there is a small stall selling various juices. The police said it is safer there," said Yihshyong.
"Sorry, Sir," said Jinqkang. "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?" Tsaehorng, who had been silent for a long time, also opened his mouth.
"Go ahead," Yihshyong said.
"How close is the grocery store to the stall selling a variety of juices?"
"The two shops are very close," said Jenqyih. "It's next to each other."
"In that case," Jinqkang spoke again. "My earlier question made even more sense."
"What if we let Mr. Shimen explain first what the police plan really is," said Jongli.
Everyone nodded.
Yihshyong 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!" Chioujen 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?" Iren tried to remember.
"Ah! That flower shop," Jenqyih immediately responded. He chuckled. "But I think there is something wrong with your explanation."
Chioujen 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?" Jinqkang asked.
"We can enter the inside of the juice shop through the flower shop," said Chioujen. "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," Jenqyih said.
"You're right," Chioujen 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."
Jinqkang nodded. The young man's face conveyed satisfaction.
However, Iren still didn't understand. "Then how do we get into the interior of the juice shop from the flower shop?"
Chioujen continued his speech. "There's a connecting door between the back of the flower shop and the back of the juice shop. So we can go into the flower shop, then into the room behind it, then through the connecting door to enter the inside of the juice shop."
"I see what you mean," Jenqyih said. "But, if people often pass the path, then many people would already know."
"I think very few people know. The toilets for visitors in the two shops are not located at the back. So no one deliberately enters the room on the inside," Chioujen said.
"Then how did you find out about this?" Iren asked.
"Regarding that question, I choose not to answer," Chioujen said. "All I can say is that I've been inside. So I know about it."
Is it just me or is Chioujen really weird? Whatever he's hiding, I hope he's one hundred percent honest with Dahge.
"Then, how about you're the one who will bring these two letters there?" Yihshyong said. "Do you all agree?"
Everyone just nodded. No one objected to Yihshyong's proposal.
"Besides, you haven't lived here in quite a while. So, your face is most likely quite foreign to the members of the gang." Yihshyong looked at Chioujen.
"But since last night I've been in and out of this house, so they should also be aware of who I am," said Chioujen.
"At least your face is still stranger than the rest of us," said Iren.
Chioujen sighed. "Okay! I'll be the one going there."
"Wait," said Jinqkang. "Isn't this suspicious? The kidnappers aren't stupid. If in the middle of the night like this, one of us was wandering outside, wouldn't they be alert right away?"
"What if we send more than one person?" Tsaehorng opened his mouth again. This time, he suddenly made a suggestion.
"What if you explain more clearly?" said Iren.
"Aren't we worried that the people who are watching this house will try to follow the people who get out of here?" said Tsaehorng. "So, what if two or three people get out of here at about the same time? Wouldn't something like this confuse them a bit?"
"What if there are a lot of them? So they can share tasks to follow each of us," said Iren.
"I think I can add a little more," Chioujen said. "The point of this action is that we are all having a hard time sleeping right now because we have strange things to think about."
Chioujen stopped talking for a while.
Time flies so fast, you better not stalling!
Chioujen continued his words. "So, if only one person went out of the house, they could be suspicious. But if there were several people out of the house, it might actually look natural. In a state of confusion and tension like this, it makes sense if we walk around a way out to just relax the muscles and refresh the mind. Drinking juice at a juice shop that is open twenty-four hours is not unusual. Strolling around the housing complex at night is also natural for people who are stressed."
Everyone nodded at Chioujen's explanation.
"I think this is a good idea," Yihshyong said. "Mr. Jongli, what do you think?"
"I think that makes a lot of sense."
"Then let me go out before Chioujen," Jenqyih said.
"I don't mind going out again either," said Jinqkang.
Iren looked at Yihshyong.
Shyongge must quickly make a decision.
"Okay," said Yihshyong. "But I think Jenqyih is better out of the house last."
"Oh!" Jenqyih only let out a short exclamation.
Yihshyong looked at Jinqkang with sharp eyes. "So you're going to walk out first. Just like before, you go to the grocery store. But you have to be very careful. A night like this, the grocery store must be so quiet. So it's almost impossible if you go there pretending to be just looking around."
"Okay, Sir! Later, I will buy something there," said Jinqkang.
"You have to be in that grocery store for at least fifteen minutes," Yihshyong said.
Jinqkang nodded. He looked very excited.
"Then it's Chioujen's turn. About five minutes after Jinqkang left, you followed out. After arriving at the flower shop, you immediately went inside. I had the impression that the police had taken over the place. So the person manning the shop won't ask you much when you suddenly enter the inner room."
"Isn't there a special code or cipher that Chioujen has to say?" Iren turned his gaze to Yihshyong. Previously, Jinqkang had to say some special words before giving the kidnappers' message to the police.
"No need. I think that currently the only police are guarding the room at the back of the shop," Yihshyong said. "Besides, the police already know Chioujen's face."
Chioujen nodded.
"Then lastly, Jenqyih," Yihshyong said. "You left this house five minutes after Chioujen left. It's up to you where you want to walk. But don't go too far."
Jenqyih nodded. A small smile graced his face.
I hope he will not go too far.
Yihshyong gave two letters from the kidnapper to Chioujen. Chioujen briefly looked at the two letters. He then tucked the two letters into his shirt pocket.
"The police said what time we should be there?" Iren asked.
"Soon," Yihshyong said.
"In that case, I'll just leave now, Sir," said Jinqkang.
"Okay!" Yihshyong said.
Jinqkang immediately walked forward. He opened the door and immediately disappeared behind the door.
"Chioujen. You're leaving in five minutes," Yihshyong said.
After that, it was quiet. They all waited for the time to pass with tense faces.
"Five minutes have passed," said Iren.
Chioujen stood up. "I'm leaving now."
Yihshyong nodded. He also stood up. The two of them then headed together towards the front door. Yihshyong opened the door and, together with Chioujen, stepped out of their living room. Two minutes later, Yihshyong came back. Apparently, he escorted Chioujen all the way to the gate. After that, he might look around for a while outside the house.
Jenqyih looked at the clock hanging on the wall.
"Three more minutes," said Iren.
Their faces looked very tense. Jinqkang looked like he was counting every time the long hand of the clock changed positions.
"It's about time," said Jinqkang.
Jenqyih stood up. He patted Yihshyong's shoulder. "Shyongge doesn't need to take me out. I'd rather be alone."
Yihshyong nodded. "Don't worry. We will wait for you all to come back. Only then we can eat these pizzas together."
Jenqyih smiled widely. He hastened into the living room. In an instant, he was standing at the door and ready to open it. Just as Jenqyih's hand touched the doorknob, there was a fairly loud voice .
Ring!
Their phone was ringing!
