    On a long-distance bus from Jurong to Changi, a strange pair caught the attention of everyone on the bus. Everyone along the way turned their curious eyes to this pair.  A young man with a handsome appearance and full of sunshine was sitting in the back row of the car pulling a strange and ferocious big dog. Although the big dog had a majestic body and a ferocious face, it was very intimidating, but when it was next to the young man, it was  Extraordinarily docile, many girls who saw handsome young people wanted to strike up a conversation, but under the ferocious gaze of the big dog, they could only stop and did not dare to get close. And along the way, because of this strange pair, there were many people in the car.  People discuss with each other from time to time, which can be regarded as adding some topical fun to this boring long road.  Faced with the discussions of these people, Zhang Yi ignored them and kept his mouth shut. Whatever they said, as long as they did not disturb his thinking, he would not care about them.  Changi is located in the southeast corner of Singapore. It was established by the British colonial government in the early days. Later, after the outbreak of the Singapore War, it was occupied by the islanders and was taken back again many years later. Changi is a very special area in Singapore.  , because no one who has been to Singapore does not know the Changi area, especially the Chinese people, because to get to Singapore, taking a passenger plane is the fastest way, and Changi Airport has been Singapore¡¯s airport since its establishment.  Singapore is the largest and most international international airport. All planes arriving in Singapore must stop at this airport.  Because of its innate geographical advantages and business environment, Changi has become a famous tourist attraction and special economic zone in Singapore. It is the wealthiest area after Jurong, Hougang and Sentosa.  The streets of Singapore are recognized as the cleanest in Southeast Asia and even the whole of Asia. Dust is rarely seen on the unstained avenues. It is conceivable that in terms of urban greening, Singapore is better than  many countries.  At this time, a young man was wandering on the road with a big dog. Under Zhang Yi's instigation, the shameful big dog quietly hid in a place where others could not see and pooped. Zhang Yi was gloating about his misfortune.  Only then did Yi pull the wild dog and run away.  This is already Zhang Yi's fifth day in Changi. The hotel he is staying in is not far from Changi Airport. During these five days, he will lead his wild dog to various hotels, clubs, hotels, etc. nearby to inquire about Xu Jinghong every day.  However, after five days, there was still no clue. He asked all the hotels nearby, even the small hotels in the dark alleys, but he couldn't find any.  It can be said that nothing was found about Xu Jinghong's stay.  Pulling the wild dog, Zhang Yi came to a park and sat down on a bench.  "Did Xu Jinghong have already left Singapore?" Sitting on the bench, Zhang Yi frowned and thought, then shook his head. When he first arrived, he used illegal means to check all the tourist registration information at Changi Airport in the past three months.  There is no information about Xu Jinghong at all, otherwise he would not have stayed in Changi till now. But if Xu Jinghong had not left, where would he be?  "Did he use a pseudonym? Or did he board the plane and leave under a pseudonym?" Zhang Yi suddenly thought of this serious problem. Since Xu Jinghong wanted to avoid the pursuit of the Holy Path organization, he would definitely not use his real name.  Thinking of this problem, Zhang Yigang wanted to get up, but then he sat down again. He saw a group of interesting five- and six-year-old children jumping into the park. Each child was holding a big balloon in his hand. Behind them  From time to time, several adults shouted to be careful.  What interested Zhang Yi was not the balloons and innocence of these children, but the nursery rhyme they sang when they came in.  "Grandpa Xiu Zhong, he is naughty and cute, his craftsmanship is skillful and excellent, magical and weird." Listening to their singing from time to time, Zhang Yi smiled in a low voice. It stands to reason that this kind of nursery rhymes with harmonious words and charms are only talented in China.  Yes, if it appears somewhere in other countries, it proves that there are Chinese people in this place. After all, this is the rhythm and rhyme of the five-character poem unique to the Chinese country. Although there are many Chinese people in Singapore, many of them immigrated to several countries.  The Chinese people of this era may have already been familiar with the five-character poetry that originated in China.  Listening to this nice and interesting nursery rhyme, Zhang Yi was curious and quickly stood up and grabbed a child. He asked in Malay with a smile: "Children, who taught you this song?" Maybe it is?  The reason for the ferocious big dog next to Zhang Yi was that the child who was pulled by Zhang Yi was so frightened that he started crying. His pure eyes stared at the innocent wild dog in horror.  A young woman, perhaps the child's mother, saw the child crying, and quickly ran over, pulled the child into her arms, and glared at Zhang Yi.  Zhang Yi gave a bitter smile, drove the wild dog to lie on the grass behind him, and then waved his hand towards the young woman to show that he had no ill intentions.  Seeing Zhang Yi¡¯s kind eyes and explanation, the young woman felt relieved, got up and pulled the child to walk away.    Zhang Yi called from behind: "Please wait." "Is something wrong?" the young woman asked.  "I want to know who taught them the nursery rhymes they sang?" Although he felt a little embarrassed, Zhang Yi still asked.  "Is there any problem?" The woman was a little surprised.  Zhang Yi smiled and shook his head: "I just want to know who taught them this nursery rhyme, because I think it sounds good. I want to visit the person who taught them this nursery rhyme." The woman nodded with deep sympathy, because she was the same at the beginning.  Occasionally I heard it from my son, and my reaction at that time was similar to Zhang Yi's now. Then I went to find this person under the leadership of my son.  Immediately, she enthusiastically told Zhang Yi his address, declined Zhang Yi's verbal thanks, and then left with the little child who had stopped crying.  No matter how rich or magnificent a city is, under its glamorous appearance, it has its dark and desolate side. Even if it is as rich as New York, as powerful as London, as dazzling as Sydney, as romantic as Paris and other international metropolises, they all have one thing in common.  The dark side is the slums. In a city, this kind of place is the lowest and most despicable garbage dump in the eyes of the rich in the city, because here, the most desolate and poorest group of people in the city live.  .  Changi is no exception. Naturally, there is also a slum where such poor people gather. The place where Zhang Yi came at this time is called the old house area. It can be said to be the most desolate corner in the entire Changi area. All the houses are the most desolate.  The later ones were probably built in the 1970s, while the earliest ones are hundreds of years old. However, these century-old houses have been labeled as dangerous buildings and no one is allowed to approach them.  Walking to the bumpy, smelly, rubbish-strewn old house street, Zhang Yi frowned slightly. What made him frown was not the miserable environment here, but what reminded him of what he saw when he first came to Changi.  Going to those spacious, clean and spotless avenues, there and here are completely two extreme places. It even makes him feel that they are not parallel planes. The contrast is too great. If he hadn't experienced it personally, who would have thought that under that beautiful appearance  , would hide such an ugly side.  On the street of the old house, Zhang Yi could hardly see a strong man, but there were many old, weak, sick and disabled people. When Zhang Yi passed by with a wild dog, the sick and disabled old people would look at him curiously.  This outsider, for them, a stranger stepping here is a big miracle in itself, just like in a poor and backward mountain village, suddenly one day, a BMW drove into the mountain village,  There will also be a lot of people watching.  According to what the young woman said, there is a dilapidated watch shop behind Laowu Street. The young woman lives not far from the old house area, so the children there often come to play in Laowu Street.  , and her son also learned to sing this nursery rhyme after playing with the children in Laowu Street. According to the children in Laowu Street, the person who taught them to sing nursery rhymes was an old man repairing clocks in this clock shop. This  The old man is very interesting. When he has nothing to do, he will play with the children in Laowu Street.  However, when Zhang Yi led the wild dog to find this dilapidated clock shop, he saw a situation that made him shocked and extremely depressed. He saw that there were two stickers on the dilapidated door of the clock shop.  The seal of words, that is to say, this place has been included in the list to be removed.  Zhang Yi didn¡¯t want his long-term efforts to come to nothing again, because he had a vague feeling that the old man who repaired clocks might be Xu Jinghong. Who would open a clock shop in a place like this if nothing happened?  Xu Jinghong did this for two reasons, either to hide his identity and wait for an opportunity to leave Singapore or return to the base, or to avoid being hunted by the Holy Path organization. Of course, the result was to leave Singapore or return to the base, so Zhang Yi had no reason not to believe it.  The old man who repairs clocks is Xu Jinghong.  Somewhat unwillingly, Zhang Yi tore off the two seals on the door and pushed open the door of the clock shop.  The area of ??the clock shop is not large, only a dozen square meters. Most of them are tools for repairing clocks and some repaired wall clocks, wrist clocks, etc. Zhang Yi walked around the clock shop and found that there were no clocks left at all.  There was too much dust, and everything was neatly arranged. In other words, the owner here never thought of taking anything away before leaving. Moreover, looking at the clean environment of this clock shop  , and concluded that the owner here must have left not long ago.
