206. The crisis is coming
"Chen Youcai, have you ever learned boxing before? I feel that your martial arts are quite powerful among ordinary people."
Leaving the office hall, Chen Youcai followed Xiaolu officials to the office cafeteria at the back of the courtyard.
The two of them stared at each other all the way, and they were extremely awkward with each other.
This canteen is shared by several yamen units of the Zhangjia Town Police Station, and staff from other departments also come to eat.
As an ordinary person, Chen Youcai really felt quite uncomfortable walking among a bunch of civil servants.
And just when he secretly threw the lighter that came from Lao Luo's office into the trash can on the side of the road, the official Xiaolu finally mustered up the courage to speak, breaking the atmosphere of silence between the two of them.
"No, I... It's just that I'm born with relatively strong strength, and I do farm work in the countryside, so I seem a little stronger than ordinary people..."
Chen Youcai scratched his forehead, Xiaolu Guancha pursed his lips and smiled, obviously unwilling to believe these words.
When the topic was opened, the two seemed less restrained, and they also started talking and laughing.
Walking into Nuo Da's cafeteria, Xiaolu officials chose a remote corner and asked Chen Youcai to wait in place, then went to the window to line up for dinner with a smile on his face.
Chen Youcai withdrew his gaze, frowned slightly, thinking about what to do next.
You can't just stay in the office hall for a whole day just because you know the facts of the case, can you?
But after thinking about it, Lao Luo seems to be extremely busy today, and he probably has to work overtime to write a case report all day, and I'm afraid he won't leave the office easily.
In other words, Chen Youcai only needed to stay outside the police station, and basically he could keep a close eye on Lao Luo and prevent him from making any trouble.
"Working meals are relatively simple. If you want to eat something, I'll get it for you."
At this moment, the official Xiaolu came back from ordering food, handed the plate to Chen Youcai, took advantage of the situation and sat opposite him, and said with a smile.
Chen Youcai shook his head with a smile, looked at the food, there were fish and meat, three dishes and one soup, it was quite rich.
"Sister Lu, are you a native of Zhangjia Town?"
Chen Youcai picked at the rice grains and asked casually.
With a puff, the officer Xiaolu couldn't help laughing because he was so teased, he quickly lowered his head and kept laughing, Chen Youcai stopped his chopsticks in embarrassment, not knowing where he said something wrong.
"Don't call me sister, I have seen your file, you are several years older than me."
Xiaolu officer worked hard to hold back his smile, and stared at Chen Youcai with bright eyes: "I'm from Nanling City. I came to Zhangjia Town for an internship in September last year. Counting the time, I can become a regular in more than a month."
She moved forward with great interest, and said in a mysteriously low voice: "You have caught so many gangsters, have you ever been afraid?"
"Of course there will be... But it's useless to be afraid, you still have to grit your teeth and fight them."
Chen Youcai gave a wry smile, and put the food into his mouth again, but Xiaolu Guancha was full of interest, biting his chopsticks and exclaiming: "You are really good."
"I was on field trips with Luo Suo, and I was so nervous at that time."
Chen Youcai shook his head and didn't say anything more. Xiaolu officials hesitated for a while, and summoned up the courage to ask, "You are always in danger, so your girlfriend must be very worried, right?"
"..."
Chen Youcai blushed all the time. He was a bachelor since he was a child. Where did he get a girlfriend?
"Well, I want to ask, do you think Uncle Luo will go out today?"
Seeing that the topic was getting more and more off topic, Chen Youcai had no choice but to cough dryly and asked what he was most concerned about.
"Probably not. There are no major events in the office these two days. The main thing is to make summary reports on the accumulated cases."
"Well, I understand, thank you, I still have something to do, so I'll go first, and I'll treat you to dinner next time."
Chen Youcai nodded, swept away the food in twos and twos, and ran away before the Xiaolu official came back to his senses.
Walking out of the cafeteria, he came to the entrance of a small supermarket diagonally opposite the police station. Chen Youcai bought a pack of fragrant melon seeds, sat on the rocking chair outside the door, kowtowed the melon seeds, and stared at the gate of the police station.
Time passed by every minute and every second, the heat of the afternoon sun subsided, and the autumn wind gradually picked up in the evening, bringing a little bit of coolness.
The sky began to dim, night was coming, and the lights in the small supermarket were turned on. Chen Youcai subconsciously fumbled into the bag, but found nothing.
After knocking the melon seeds all afternoon, the melon seed shells piled up like a mountain at his feet, and the proprietress behind the checkout counter in the small supermarket had already looked at him several times.
Fortunately, Chen Youcai didn't do anything excessive. Sitting at the door knocking melon seeds was at best an eyesore, and the proprietress didn't want to chase people away.
"A bottle of mineral water."
Throwing the packaging bag into the trash can, Chen Youcai walked to the checkout counter of the supermarket and said in a hoarse voice.
Knocking too many melon seeds not only got angry, but also made his mouth dry and quite uncomfortable.
"Handsome guy, are you waiting for someone? I see you've been waiting all afternoon."
The proprietress asked tentatively while handing over a bottle of mineral water.
"Well, I... am waiting for the Xiaolu official to get off work."
Chen Youcai laughed, and Xiaolu Guancha's pretty face inexplicably appeared in front of his eyes, and he immediately said perfunctory.
"Oh, the official post of Xiaolu looks impressive. I heard that there are quite a few suitors."
The proprietress showed a meaningful smile and winked at Chen Youcai: "Xiaolu officials often come here to buy chocolates. Would you like to buy a box for the handsome guy?"
She took a box of beautifully packaged chocolates from the shelf behind her. Chen Youcai quickly glanced at the retail price, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.
"Forget it today. It's hot. I don't think she likes to eat sticky things like chocolate."
Chen Youcai waved his hands with a smile, ignoring the look of contempt in the proprietress's eyes, and walked out the door holding mineral water.
Just kidding, trying to trick him into buying such an expensive chocolate candy with just a few words, does he really think Chen Youcai is stupid?
The street lights were on, the neon lights of the shops were flickering, and the bustle of the market did not fade away because of the night, on the contrary, it was more prosperous than the daytime.
After Chen Youcai finished drinking the mineral water, he glanced at his phone. The time was already 25:[-] in the evening.
After careful calculation, it only takes about forty minutes to complete the meritorious task of protecting Lao Luo for 24 hours.
But now, the only thing he has to do is to stick to the deadline and never let accidents happen under his nose.
At the same time, next to a gas station on the outskirts of Zhangjia Town, a dilapidated van was parked in front of the convenience store.
The words "XX Express" are printed on the body, but the contact information below has been torn off.
Qi Laobing sipped his iced Coke, silently waiting for the night to get darker.
After staying in prison for more than ten years, the outside world is changing with each passing day. Since he was released at noon until now, he still feels as if he has been separated from the world.
Smartphones, facial recognition payment, surveillance cameras everywhere... All these make Qi Laobing confused and uneasy.
Although he has been out of touch with the society for more than ten years, fortunately there is still a younger brother Hua Zi who was willing to help.
After Qi Laobing relaxed in the bathing city all afternoon, he received a "small job".
"Chen Youcai, a native of Chenjia Village, Shifang County, Nanling City, is very skilled. He once subdued two vicious Hongtong murderers with his bare hands..."
After reading the text messages on his mobile phone, he deleted them. Huazi didn't want to eat this bowl of rice anymore, and was only willing to borrow a car, but refused to help.
Qi Laobing didn't force it. After learning how to use the mobile phone to navigate, he drove the van alone to a small town hundreds of kilometers away.
After tying someone up, force him to tell the secret recipe for raising colorful chickens, and he can get the order of 10 yuan.
Touching the pistol pinned to his waist, Qi Laobing looked indifferent, and squeezed the body of the soda can slightly.
This gun was hidden under the rockery in a community before the accident.
Unexpectedly, more than ten years later, after digging out the oil-paper package, the pistol was still black and shiny, intact.
Of course, Qi Laobing didn't think that an ordinary country youth could not reach the point where he would use a gun by himself...
Now that everything is ready, all that needs to be done right now is to wait for the night to darken before going to Chen Family Village to kidnap someone.
