Jenqyih sat next to Yihshyong. The ad interim leader of their group asked him to sit there.
"The finder of the wallet will meet with us tonight," said Yihshyong.
"What's the time?" Chioujen asked.
"He has business around seven, but he said it won't take long. So he can meet you around eight."
"But if the place is far from here, will there still be time? I don't know what time Mr. Hetian's friend will appear. If he appears at half past seven, of course at seven o'clock I can go to another place to meet the wallet finder. But if Mr. Hetian's friend shows up at past seven, then I can't possibly have arrived at eight o'clock at the place where the wallet finder wants to meet," said Chioujen.
"You won't believe me when I tell you that coincidences are often absurd," Yihshyong said.
By any chance, what does Shyongge mean?" Chioujen asked.
"At seven o'clock tonight, the wallet finder will meet someone who lives in an apartment very close to a meeting hall," said Yihshyong.
"Then?" Chioujen looked at Yihshyong with a questioning face.
"The meetinghouse is a long way from where that person found the wallet containing our home phone numbers," Yihshyong said.
"And…?" Chioujen's face was really hard to describe. He probably found Yihshyong annoying. Jenqyih almost laughed at the expression on Chioujen's face.
"The meeting building is currently being used as a painting exhibition."
"So you mean……." Chioujen's eyes widened.
"That's what I was saying. Sometimes the coincidences just don't make sense."
"Then it's all fine. So I can just walk to the apartment?"
"That's right. Here's the name of the person you should meet and the address where you should meet him. Tsaehorng should be able to show you where the apartment is." Yihshyong held out a piece of paper to Chioujen. Chioujen skimmed through what was written on the paper. He then put the paper in his pocket.
"All right then. I'll be leaving at half-past six," Chioujen said.
"There is still one more thing," Yihshyong said.
Shyongge, please just say it right away. Don't play riddles anymore," Chioujen said.
"According to my calculations, you should be home by nine in the evening. But the calculations could be wrong. If for some reason you have to not be able to get home on time, then you should allow Tsaehorng to come back here without you. So , we definitely have a vehicle to go to those places. I repeat my words one more time. So if your business is still not finished by nine and a quarter, you must tell Tsaehorng to come back here."
"Okay, I understand."
"Like I said before, if you haven't arrived here by ten o'clock, then Jinqkang is already in this house. But that doesn't mean you're free to roam outside until the sun comes up. So I hope you'll be home by twelve o'clock at the latest."
"But what if I stumble upon a very important lead? So important that I must act immediately to find Beaushu."
Yihshyong smiled. Jenqyih felt the smile was a bit strange.
"What I'm saying may not make sense to you. But I have a feeling that Dahge is fine. Maybe he's hiding. Or maybe someone is holding him captive. But I'm sure he won't act rashly. If you get a hint about what's very important, you just tell the police right away. Let them take action. You go straight to this house. This doesn't mean that we completely leave this matter to the police, but we must have priority in acting. This time, our priority is to meet with Shinnshiow's kidnappers. If the handover of the ransom goes smoothly tonight. Tomorrow morning we'll all be focused on finding and bringing Dahge back home."
Yihshyong's words seemed to have calmed Chioujen. Currently, Yihshyong temporarily replaced Shannchyuan. So, like it or not, Chioujen had to listen to Yihshyong's words.
"Fine! I'll do as Shyongge says." Chioujen nodded vigorously.
