Xie Xingmu thought that Yu Chu would jump up with joy, but to his surprise, Yu Chu didn't react too much, just smiled and looked at him with those big black and white eyes.

After a little astonishment, he reacted and said, "Don't worry, Yu Shiqing's men have also been arrested, and they will no longer pose a threat to you."

But Yu Chu still stared at him without saying a word.

Xie Xingmu thought for a while, took out his mobile phone, lowered his head and said, "Add a WeChat."

Someone passed by and just heard this sentence, and looked at the two of them with some surprise.

Xie Xingmu didn't notice this, he just buried his head in unlocking the phone's fingerprint lock, and said in his mouth: "The WeChat account you added to me before won't work anymore, add this one now, if you need anything, you can find me."

Only then did Yu Chu speak, and said slowly, "I don't have a mobile phone, that one fell into the sea."

Xie Xingmu was startled, and immediately said: "You wait for me here." After speaking, he turned and walked to the criminal investigation office.

Seeing him enter the door, Yu Chu leaned his back against the wall, half bowed his head, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and assumed a habitual chic posture. It wasn't until the passing policemen gave him a strange look that they realized that this posture no longer matched him, so they stood up straight and stood upright, with their hands hanging by their trouser legs.

After a while, Xie Xingmu came out with a new mobile phone in his hand. He handed the mobile phone to Yu Chu: "This is the prize I got at the annual meeting. I installed the card, and I still use your old number."

After speaking, he turned on the phone again, pointed to the above apps and said, "These are the ones you use frequently, and you have downloaded them too."

Yu Chu took it over, clicked on the WeChat interface, and saw that among the poor contacts, there was a new addition, the nickname was Xie Xingmu, and the avatar was a strange smart person, the most primitive kind, and I haven't used it yet. Real skin and appearance.

"Who is this?" He poked the head with his finger.

"this is me."

"I asked who is in the picture?"

Xie Xingmu scratched the bridge of his nose, and said vaguely, "Gundam."

"Well."

Yu Chu didn't continue to ask, but thought in his heart that such a rudimentary intelligent person can still have a name.

Xie Xingmu sent Yu Chu to the gate of the Public Security Bureau, stopped in his tracks, looked at the traffic on the street, and asked, "What are your future plans?"

"I don't have any plans, let's take a step and see." Yu Chu looked around and replied absent-mindedly.

"Have you ever thought about going to see Yu Shiqing? He is temporarily detained in the detention center, awaiting interrogation." Xie Xingmu asked.

Yu Chu turned to look at him in surprise: "What am I doing when I go to see Yu?"

Xie Xingmu was startled, stared at him for a few seconds before laughing: "Okay, then I won't look at it."

"But I want to ask you about two people." Yu Chu asked him, "Do you know Zheng Bao and Rugosa on the island?"

"I know Zheng Bao, who is Rugosa?" Xie Xingmu tried hard to recall.

"Rugosa is also called Chen Hua, the girl who took care of me before."

Xie Xingmu glanced at him, and replied: "The two of them have only been on the island for a short time, and they haven't done anything for Yu Shiqing, so they have already been released."

"Oh." Yu Chu kicked the pebbles by his feet and said, "Then I'm leaving."

Xie Xingmu didn't say anything, just frowned and stared at the front, as if in a daze, Yu Chu walked along the sidewalk to the left, still holding the new phone in his hand.

He walked forward aimlessly, looking left and right all the way, looking at the pedestrians on the street and the shops on both sides of the street with novel eyes. I met a sugar painting seller in front of a small alley, and he stood by the booth with a few children, looking at it with relish for a long time.

Just walking all the way and strolling all the way, I became hungry unconsciously, only to realize that it was already noon. He didn't have a penny in his pocket, but he didn't panic. After walking for a while, he stopped in front of a hotel.

This hotel is holding a banquet. The newly dressed bride and groom are standing in front of the gate, and there are a lot of confetti scattered on the steps. There is a long table next to it, and someone is sitting there to collect the gift money, and the guests who have given favors will enter the hotel one after another. .

The bookkeeper who was in charge of registering the gifts was obviously very busy, and there were many guests waiting around. After standing on the sidewalk for a few seconds, Yu Chu walked towards the hotel entrance.

When he was a child, he often had banquets and meals with other children. Everyone dispersed, followed the adults who were attending the banquet, swaggered in like the children of that family, and then found an empty table inside to eat.

The food at the banquet was a delicacy that they couldn't usually taste. All of them had full stomachs, and they could even take two chicken legs with them before leaving, so the next day's meal was also settled.

It's just that if there are too many times, the hotel manager will recognize a few of them, block the gate to prevent them from entering, and call security to drive them away. Yu Chu was caught once, and the manager grabbed him by the back collar and slapped him hard.

He fell down the steps from that slap and passed out. When I woke up, I found that I was thrown in the flower bed, and half of my ears could not hear the sound. I stumbled back to the bridge hole where the children gathered, and lay down for a few days before getting better.

After recovering, Yu Chu began to follow the manager and found that he often had a date with a woman. He managed to get the phone number of the manager's wife, and when the two of them entered the hotel room one time, they used the public terminal to make an informant call to the manager's wife.

Standing on the road opposite the hotel, Yu Chu watched the manager's wife rush into the hotel with people. Half an hour later, the manager escaped with a wound on his face, and then left with satisfaction.

Then the manager had frequent incidents at work, either when the guests found flies in the soup, or when the Union Health Department came to check and found dead rats in the kitchen. So not long after, he was also fired by the hotel.

With the experience of mixing banquets when he was a child, Yu Chu stepped forward and stood with the guests who were waiting for the gift money. Half a minute later, he pretended to have given the gift money and walked into the hotel. When he passed by the bride and groom , showing them a shy smile.

On this occasion, the bride and groom could not recognize all the relatives and friends of the two parties, so they all smiled back at Yu Chu, watched him enter the hotel gate, and then turned to greet other guests with a smile.

Yu Chu went up the red-carpeted stairs to the second floor, and sat down at an empty table in the noisy hall. The guests who came from behind took their seats around, filling up the table in a short while.

On the big round table were delicately arranged cold dishes. Yu Chu opened the candy box in front of him, peeled off a piece of candy, fed it to his mouth, and started playing with his new mobile phone.

The guests at this table didn't know each other, so they didn't talk to each other, they just ate dried melon seeds and waited for the table to start. Yu Chu took a look at the apps in his new phone. Apart from a few basic software that came with the phone, there was only one WeChat. He found the app store and downloaded video software in which he could watch TV series.

It wasn't until a burst of passionate music sounded and the master of ceremonies started on stage that Yu Chu put away his phone. After the master of ceremonies finished speaking, the groom came to the stage, and then the music switched, and the bride in a white wedding dress entered the venue.

Yu Chu and the people around him stood up and applauded.

After the two parties exchanged rings and said their oaths, the waiters came out in full force, criss-crossing the hall and bringing hot dishes to the table. The banquet started. Yu Chu took apart the chopsticks and ate while watching the performance on the stage.

He was no longer the kid who wolfed down the banquet. The dishes at the banquet looked good, but the taste was really mediocre. He picked and picked and barely filled himself half full, then put down his chopsticks and got up to leave.

Stepping out of the hotel gate, facing the dazzling sunlight, Yu Chu narrowed her eyes slightly, thinking about where to go shopping in the afternoon. As soon as he took a step to the left, the back of his neck tightened, and someone grabbed him by the collar.

Yu Chu reflexively wanted to bend his elbow to the back, but the familiar feeling made him stop abruptly, turned his face to the side in annoyance and asked, "What are you doing?"

Xie Xingmu asked back: "What were you doing just now?"

Yu Chu struggled twice but didn't break free and didn't move any more. He just frowned and said, "Don't keep grabbing my back collar, can you? Let go."

The posture of the two of them was too strange, people passing by kept looking at them, Xie Xingmu didn't let go, and walked towards a side alley while holding Yu Chu's back collar, Yu Chu could only follow along on tiptoes.

When they reached the alley, Xie Xingmu let go, Yu Chu lowered his head to straighten his clothes, the gold chain around his neck came out from the neckline, dangling on his chest.

"You still have Yu Shiqing's things?" Xie Xingmu asked, staring at the gold chain, with a complicated expression.

Yu Chu stuffed the gold chain back into his collar and said, "Why don't you keep it, you can change it for money when you have nothing to eat."

"When you have nothing to eat, can't you go to other people's banquets?" Xie Xingmu said.

He looked at Yu Chu with slightly lowered eyes, his voice was very flat, and there was no expression on his face.

Yu Chu said: "You are following me."

He has a deep understanding of Xie Xingmu's stalking skills. He escaped from the island again and again and was caught again and again. If Xie Xingmu didn't take the initiative to show up, it would be difficult to be discovered.

"I didn't follow you. The premise of following you is to hide your tracks, but I walked on the street openly." Xie Xingmu said.

"Isn't that still tracking?"

The sun was a little bright, and Xie Xingmu's forehead was dripping with sweat. He turned his head to find out if there was any place nearby to sit for a while, and asked, "Are you full just now?"

"No, the food at the banquet was too unpalatable," Yu Chu said.

"You've gotten to this point and you're picky eaters." Xie Xingmu sneered.

Yu Chu said, "I don't really want to eat today."

Xie Xingmu thought for a while, then asked: "Do you want to eat something light? There is a porridge shop in front, it looks pretty good, let's go in and have a seat."

Yu Chu followed him to the porridge shop. When passing by the entrance of the hotel just now, Xie Xingmu saw that the person who received the gift money was still sitting there, checking the accounts with another person, so he took out his wallet from his arms, and took out the wallet from inside. Five cards were handed to Yu Chu.

"What?" Yu Chu asked after taking the money.

Xie Xingmu turned his head to that side: "Go and settle the meal money you just had."

Yu Chu watched TV series for so many days and knew the value of these five coins, so she muttered: "I said that the meal was not good, so I just ate a little bit, how could it be worth five hundred."

After speaking, he took out three of them and stuffed them into his trouser pocket, and walked over with the remaining two.

The bookkeeper responsible for collecting the gift money was about to put the gift money book into the bag next to him, when he saw a handsome young man standing in front of him and said, "Sorry, I'm late, please help me collect the gift money."

"Okay." He spread out the gift book again, looked at the banknote in Yu Chu's eyes, and asked, "Two hundred?"

"Ok."

The number of gifts in Haiyun City has gradually increased in recent years. Today, no one who came to the wedding site to give favors only gave two hundred, but he saw that the young man looked young and was probably still studying, so it was understandable to give two hundred.

"What name to write?" Mr. Bookkeeper's pen tip slid on the paper pad.

Before Yu Chu could make a sound, Xie Xingmu's voice sounded next to him: "Meal money."

The bookkeeper raised his head: "Cao Tou Fan, Qian Kun?"

"No, it's food for food, money for money." Xie Xingmu said.

The bookkeeper was stunned for a moment, but he didn't ask any more questions, and wrote down quickly: the meal cost is two hundred yuan.
