1237 I Want to Make You Stay 115 (1/2)
The words he said were basically pointless.
”What I want to hear is the details of what happened.”
”That was what happened.”
”It was completely like a maze inside, how could you have come out so easily?”
”That's why I took such a long time to get out, from afternoon to night.”
Hearing his vague response, An Xiaoning felt rather overwhelmed with emotions. She was well aware of the amount of effort it took to get out of there. Moreover, he had to do so without any source of light to help him. It was almost like the blind walking! He wouldn't have been able to see a thing.
”I thought you would leave first. I didn't think you would go in to find me.” She flashed him a smile. ”How touching.”
Henry replied casually, ”I was just afraid you would die inside.”
”I know.” She picked up some vegetables for him with her chopsticks. ”Eat more.”
Henry looked at the vegetables in his bowl, then darted a glance at her, hesitating to speak his mind. Eventually, he still did not say a word.
After their meal, she comfortably took a hot bath in the tub.
Having gained a few blisters on her feet, she sat on the bed and used a sterilized needle to pop them, thereafter putting on some medicine and placing a few bandaids.
After everything was settled, her phone had been charged for some time already.
She then took it and gave Pan Zhenghui a call. ”Have you sent him home?”
”He alighted at Mingyuan Road.”
”Okay. Get someone to check his personal information. This Zong Jingyi should be around the same age as me.”
”Alright. I'll get my men to check and return a call to you.”
”Also, there's something very suspicious about the tomb at the lake. Get Ma Jianguo to find out whose territory that place belonged to a few decades ago or even way back.”
”Oh, Xiaoning, I haven't gotten to asking you. What did you find inside the tomb?”
An Xiaoning lay down on the bed and responded, ”I'll tell you tomorrow at the station. Just do according to what I've said and call me when you get anything.”
Since she had said it like this, Pan Zhenghui did not probe any further as well. ”Okay.”
Two hours later, when the search on Zong Jingyi's information had been done, he gave her a call back.
”We've checked all the names with a similar pronunciation to his, and they're all different from what you've described. Their ages can't match his either. They're either between ten to twenty years old or in their forties to sixties. Even if there are some in their thirties, their height differ from his. The man we saw tonight was definitely taller than 1.8 meters.”
”There isn't a profile match for him?” An Xiaoning's suspicion was aroused. Could he have given her a false name?
It probably shouldn't have been the case.
If he had not wanted to give her his name, he could have simply not told her. Why would he have made up a name?
Or was it that she had heard his name wrongly?
It couldn't have been the case, since she remembered his name by heart when she heard it.
Then what exactly was going on?
How could there be no profile match for him?
Someone from the military could not possibly have no household register.
Unless he didn't have a proper identity or wasn't from the military.
But no matter how she looked at it, he did not seem like someone like that.
An Xiaoning sat upright and said to Pan Zhenghui on the other end of the line, ”No matter what, this doesn't seem possible. Is it possible for the page showing the search results in the system to be hacked?”
”Of course not.”
”Alright, I got it. Send me an email with the surveillance footage of the area where he alighted from the car. I'll see where he lives specifically. Let's talk about other things tomorrow.”
”Sure, okay.”
An Xiaoning got down from the bed, her legs and neck about to break any time.
