Chapter 654 The Old Road (12)

There really is!

For a veteran like Jones, it would be difficult to get any information from his face under normal circumstances.

But this also means that if his expression really changes, it means that something is really unusual.

What Fu Qian said just now was deliberately vague. He didn't expect any specific result. It was purely due to the good habits of the taskmaster.

The moment he noticed the strange expression on this person, Fu Qian directly chose to hit the snake and follow the stick.

At this moment, from Jones's further reaction, Fu Qian could basically conclude that this man had really found information about Rasik.

The reason for the huge reaction was probably because they were misled by their own words, thinking that the four of them were looking for Rasik in a big way.

Isn't this efficiency a bit too high?

"Can you come and listen?"

The next moment Fu Qian said with a smile.

"What is your purpose in finding him?"

Being guessed by Fu Qian so quickly, Jones did not continue to deny it, but just looked at him with narrowed eyes.

"It's nothing, I was just asked to find him."

Very honest answer before paying.

"What a coincidence, I actually want to find out who he is."

Jones snorted, but did not answer hastily. Instead, he looked behind Fu Qian.

In just a few words, Cartman and the other three were already following him.

"What are you doing here?"

Based on his knowledge before the confrontation, Chief Jones directly changed his target, stared at the panting Fran and asked.

It was obvious that in his eyes, this girl was the one with the most pure character among the group.

In fact, even if Fu Qian answered him just now, he would have to think carefully about his credibility.

Fu Qian didn't mind this obvious distrust.

As a self-aware and reasonable man, he does not feel that everyone is obligated to think well of him.

So his smile continued, and together with Cartman and Ray, the three of them watched Fran's reaction.

…

"Jessica is missing and we are looking for her."

Fran felt extremely stressed for a moment. After taking a deep breath, he quickly shared his findings.

Someone is missing again...

Jones had a vague premonition when he noticed that there was no fifth person emerging from the woods.

But now that it was really confirmed, I couldn't help but frown.

Being mentally prepared does not mean that you can accept it. If two people are lost in the jurisdiction at once, everyone will have a headache.

"So you came down from the mountain and looked for her traces all the way?"

"……Yes."

Fran gritted his teeth and nodded.

"It's a pity that nothing has been gained so far."

"But we found an underground passage that leads all the way from the mountain to here."

At this time, Cartman next to him also added.

"The passage...that makes sense. Just now I was wondering why you guys came out from behind."

Jones was thoughtful and seemed to have more trust in several people.

The next moment he gestured toward the dense forest.

"Can you take me to see it?"

…

The exit of the passage was not too far from the roadside, and everyone quickly found the place.

Standing in front of the exit, Jones and his party were silent for a long time, looking like they didn't know what to comment.

"You came all the way down and didn't find anyone else inside?"

After thinking for a while, Jones continued to ask.

"No, but some of the marks are very new and look like someone has been in recently."

Ray described what he found inside.

Jones and others were shocked again, but they did not try to explore directly.

But there is no doubt that the complexity of things has increased exponentially.

"Don't continue to live up there. Come directly home with me later."

After thinking for a moment, Jones said directly in an irrefutable tone.

"OK."

Although he was worried about his friend's comfort, Fran, who was afraid of the journey, naturally wanted this.

And Fu Qian, who had planned it in the first place, had no objection to it.

…

"Give me a reason."

Instructing the police to take Cartman and others back to the mountain to drive and get their things, Jones left Fu Qian alone, lit a cigarette, took a puff and said.

"First of all, I had nothing to do with Mrs. Harold's disappearance."

The question seemed to have no beginning or end, but Fu Qian understood what Jones meant.

"Secondly——"

Looking at Jones who was unmoved, Fu Qian stretched out another finger.

"I don't mind being under your radar until I can help prove point one."

"The discovery was quite serendipitous."

Within seconds, Jones accepted Fu Qian's reasoning.

The situation is getting more and more complicated, and some of his initial judgments have inevitably been shaken.

The reasons given before payment are indeed not problematic in themselves.

"After I returned from here in the morning, I just asked my colleagues to help keep an eye on it."

"Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for him to find me again and give me something."

"It was a traffic ticket for the person you named."

Traffic ticket...

Fu Qian's expression was a little weird for a while, and this unfolding really challenged his imagination.

"What's the reason for the violation?"

"Aggravated speeding."

"Uh...when?"

"yesterday."

yesterday……

"Does your colleague remember what that person looks like?"

"This is also strange. The person who issued the ticket said he had no memory at all and couldn't describe anything."

"That's about it. If you are interested, you can just ask yourself."

"Understood."

Although it sounds weird, Fu Qian is already quite satisfied.

Anyway, there's always a clue.

It turns out that those who have attained the truth will receive much help.

…

"How can this be?"

The guests came back, and Mrs. Mary, who had a rather kind personality, seemed very worried about Jessica's situation.

As for the passage that everyone used to go down the mountain, she was obviously confused.

In her words, she has never stayed in there for too long since she can remember, and she even lived outside when she grew up.

I have no idea that there is a secret passage under the building.

Fu Qian still tends to believe this person's statement. On the one hand, she has no reason to lie. In addition, it has indeed been abandoned for a long time.

"Are you coming together?"

Jones was obviously in a hurry. He had settled everyone down and was about to go out. Before leaving, he looked at Fu Qian and asked.

"OK."

Before paying, please be very clear that this is not your own opinion.

Even if he no longer looked so suspicious, it was impossible for Jones to allow a dangerous person like himself to stay at home freely in his absence.

"Before you pay..."

Fran, who was feeling slightly calmer now, felt a little strange when he saw this.

The experience of the past two days gave her a lot of trust in him, and she thought he was far more reliable than she thought, but she still didn't expect Jones to actually ask him to help.

"Action consultant, expert level."

Before responding to this, he just talked nonsense and walked out under the complicated eyes of his three companions.

Sorry, there is only one update today. I have been busy at work recently, so the update is somewhat affected. I will adjust it as soon as possible.
