full-time abuse

I forgot the exact date, but the time should be at the turn of spring and summer, because in his memory, the price list of flower shops is always lower as the weather gets hotter.

"Boss, what kind of flowers do you want to buy?" Zhong Wan followed him in the huge flower shop, not knowing how many times he went back and forth.

Song Chen pursed his lips thoughtfully, immersed in thinking, and answered after a while: "I'm thinking about it. The goal I'm going to get close to this time is a bit troublesome. What kind of flowers are the most tasteful? Is it a work-oriented one? of a living nature?"

He has found out that the target person likes flowers very much, what he has to do now is to leave a deep and good first impression on the other party through this method.

Song Chen also deliberately borrowed a few books, such as "Encyclopedia of Flower Language" and "Flower Maintenance", hoping to understand all aspects, and to chat with the target in the future, so as not to be cold after contact.

Zhong Wan looked at his concentration and felt a headache.

The way the little girl in the flower shop looked at the two of them made him even more troubled. He really might as well go home and sleep.

Song Chen deliberately ignored his expression as if asking for help, and continued to recite the words of flowers.

……

"For work-related flowers, such as business meetings, Clivia and Gardenia are good choices, symbolizing friendship and cooperation."

Song Chen came back to reality from his memory, patiently observed and identified carefully, and found that the most obvious thing in the hourglass on the left was... um, carnation?

Represents sincere friendship.

"As for the flowers used in daily life, it depends on what kind of mood the sender wants to express..." He continued, his voice getting lower and lower, and the kidnapper's key reminder was still ringing in his ears.

——"What kind of him is in your heart, you will find what kind of him."

"Ah Wan in my heart..." Song Chen smiled, then grabbed the string on the right and pulled it over!

"Hey, boss, don't you think about it again?" Ji Youning hurriedly stopped him.

It's a pity that it's too late.The two hourglasses fell one after the other, and the note in the left hourglass was soaked in dark liquid, even if it was picked up, it was impossible to see what was written on it.

Song Chen dragged the rescued other note to his feet, picked it up, held it in his hand, and looked at the patterns on it.

——Rose, phalaenopsis, valentine grass, forget-me-not.

Well, what a combination of romance and love.

For him, Zhong Wan is not "r", but "", the most special, the one he loves.

The note was light, but in his heart, it weighed very heavily.

"Open it and have a look." Yuchi Foyin urged Song Chen to be stunned for a while.

Song Chen immediately came back to his senses and opened the thing in his hand.

It was a small paper bag, which contained... actually...

"A receipt for a locker in the supermarket?" Song Chen was really at a loss.Now he has no idea what the kidnapper's plan is.

Seeing that it was getting late, they ran around all afternoon just for a small ticket.The most common one found in any supermarket, the machine will spit out a note when you press the button that says "Save".

"Cabinet No. 2, No. 16." Song Chen read out the number above, "The lockers in the chain supermarkets are also allocated uniformly, and there is no special description on it. I don't know which branch it is."

Turning to the reverse side, he found that there was another number written on it, and some broken details were connected in his mind, so he quickly took out the city map he bought in the afternoon, and ordered: "Take your mobile phones quickly and use the electronic map to find that place Is there such a chain supermarket!"

His fingers were dry and landed firmly on a certain point on the map, with a folded trace running through it.

And it's not too far from the house mark that Song Chen pinched out with his fingernails.

"Yes, Brother Zhong seems to have gone to this supermarket this morning." Ji Youning is usually in charge of buying vegetables and cooking, so he naturally has the deepest impression, "I remembered, the shopping bag I sent back has the same supermarket name on it!"

The dark liquid in the hourglass gave off an odd smell, sort of like a cross between soy sauce and vinegar.Song Chen didn't even look at the mess, stood up, turned around and left: "In the locker in the supermarket, the kidnapper put something, let's go get it."

At the same time, the mobile phone, which has been silent for a long time, has once again refreshed its sense of existence.

The voice of the kidnapper was unhurried, reaching everyone's ears through the receiver, "There is no need to keep people in ambush at home, I will not go again. I need everyone to appear there, otherwise Zhong Wan... hehe……"

After a weird laugh, the other party said, "The game has come to an end."

The plan in Song Chen's heart was suddenly punctured, and his face became more and more ugly, turning blue and white.

"Go together, let's go together." Yuchi Foyin, who was going to stay as an ambush, didn't care, "If there is one less person, I'm afraid something will happen to Zhong Wan. It doesn't matter if you suffer a small loss."

"...Okay, let's go." After running around all afternoon, his hair and clothes were not too tidy, but Song Chen didn't care about taking care of himself, holding the receipt tightly for fear of losing it, and asked Ji Youning to drive the car over.

Fortunately, the supermarket didn't close until nine o'clock in the evening, so it wouldn't be too late even if they walked there.A group of people rushed to the basement floor and found the locker after asking for directions.

"Cabinet No. 16..." Song Chen scanned the number plate on it, found the place where the receipt was written, and put the things in his hand on it.With a click, the NO.[-] grid on the top opened accordingly.

For a moment, he thought that there was nothing in the cabinet, and he was being played again.But when he stepped forward, he saw that there was a lonely key inside.

"Anti-theft door." Yuchi Foyin closed the door of the small grid to prevent the alarm from ringing endlessly.

"It's quite new." Ji Youning picked up the slip from Song Chen's hand and threw it into the trash can.

Song Chen turned the key over and found that there was still writing on the medical tape attached to it. It was a house number written with a ballpoint pen, "36th floor, ninth floor, 0905."

There is also a string of six-digit numbers below, 284503, I don't know what it means.

This appears to be a specific room.

"Which one of you closed the locker?" Song Chen frowned.

Only the house number did not have the address of the community, and he subconsciously felt that there should be something in the cabinet that he hadn't taken out.

"I." Yuchi Foyin admitted happily, "I checked it before closing it, and there is absolutely nothing inside, except for the key, there is only air, and even the inner wall is clean."

Of course, her observation ability is not weak, and because of her height angle, it is easier to see the inner top layer of the cabinet, absolutely nothing is missed.

Song Chen fell into a difficult situation, "Is there only the house number, no address? Impossible..."

So far, the information given by the kidnapper has been found in the corresponding place.

At the beginning, I asked him to buy a map, and then gave him the horizontal and vertical coordinates, pointing to this supermarket, and then got the key.

Judging by their attitude, they must be guided to open a certain door.But, why not give the address?

Song Chen combed through his memory again to make sure there was nothing missing.All that can be done now is to wait...waiting for the kidnapper to send another order.

However, the mobile phone remained silent as if it could not receive a signal.

"The other party is very efficient and won't stop contacting us for so long." Song Chen took a sip of refreshing coffee, "The game'has come to an end'? We still don't know where the door opened by this key is."

Next to the supermarket, just now Ji Youning ran to buy some drinks as quickly as possible to rehydrate everyone, and now he is also holding coffee to refresh himself, "It's been a whole day, it seems like I was just teased by the other party."

"Let's go first, it's not a solution to stand like this all the time at the supermarket door." Song Chen looked at the key and tightened the bottle cap.

Ji Youning hummed, and when he was about to take a step, he suddenly remembered something, and tentatively said, "Boss, let me see this key...it seems familiar."

"You know him?" Song Chen hurriedly handed over the things, "Which manufacturer produced it?"

Ji Youning frowned and thought hard for a long time, trying to search for similar memories in his mind, and finally recalled them live up to everyone's expectations! "It's not a manufacturer, it's the key from my former home! No, it's from that community... Boss, do you still remember why we met... Well, you said you followed me to the door of the house. The shape of this key , is the anti-theft door key uniformly distributed by the community.”

"Are you sure?" Song Chen was dubious on the surface, thinking that the keys all look alike, and it might just be a coincidence that they use the same security door.But in the face of difficulties, it is good to have a glimmer of hope.

"Sure!" Ji Youning nodded crazily, and was very happy because he felt that it came in handy, "The security factor in that community is very high, and the anti-theft door is not cheap."

Yuchi Foyin reminded: "No matter what, at least try, the worst result is a waste of time."

"—Maybe I opened the wrong door and was knocked out by the owner." For some reason, Song Chen suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and said a joke.

It suddenly occurred to him that the kidnapper was right, the questions given so far were only known to him, and the answers to the questions were based on their familiarity with each other.

……

Later, he moved out, but after all, Ji Youning lived in that community for a while, so he was quite familiar with the route.Song Chen completely forgot how to get there, and the hand holding the key was sweating, soaking the medical tape on it.

"Hey, who are you? Not the owners, are you?"

As soon as people relax their vigilance, all kinds of troubles will come up.

As soon as I arrived at the gate of the community, I was stopped by the security guard shouting!That's right, no owner will drive a six-handed Volkswagen when going in and out of here.

Song Chen was thinking about making up an excuse to deal with it, so Ji Youning rolled down the car window and greeted eagerly: "I'm the owner, and I brought my friends home to play."

So does the previous owner!

It was originally a random excuse made up for the purpose of letting go, but unexpectedly, the security guard who stopped the car vigilantly glanced over Yuchi Foyin who was in the passenger seat, and then landed on Ji Youning, who actually knew him!

"Oh, it's you, your hair is the same color as a chestnut shell...I've seen you...how did you buy this kind of car?" The security guard waved his hand as he let it go.

It seems that there are advantages to being beautiful, at least it is impressive enough, and it saves a lot of trouble.

Ji Youning drove the car through the alleys in the residential area, and said, "Building 36, right? I haven't been to this area very much, so I found it slowly based on my impressions. It should be a relatively large duplex room type. I used to live in this area." The one in the room has one bedroom and one living room."

"Yeah." Song Chen nodded and looked out the window.

The first time I came here was still winter, and I could see that the greening of the community was doing well. At the end of spring, some flowering trees had blossomed, and the wind in the air had a faint fragrance.

It was completely dark, and it was time for dinner. Song Chen was already hungry, but he didn't care much.After finding Building 36, get off the first car, slam the door, and run to the stairwell.

——but was stopped by a combination lock.
