The thugs were stunned, and the shadows on the ground did not move. A few seconds later, the sound of iron bars falling to the ground was heard, and someone flashed past Yu Chu and rushed to the inside of the parking lot.
Yu Chu maintained the movement of holding the iron rod in his hand, watching the thugs rushing in desperately. Immediately following the sound of hurried and dense footsteps, the police in bulletproof vests chased after him.
He watched helplessly as those people were thrown to the ground before they could run more than ten meters. They were immediately cut behind their backs and handcuffed, screaming like pigs being slaughtered.
He turned his eyes to look in front of him, facing a solid chest that was also wearing a bulletproof vest. His gaze moved up slowly, and Xie Xingmu's familiar face appeared in his field of vision.
Xie Xingmu held his hand, opened his fingers lightly one by one, took off the iron rod and handed it to a passing criminal policeman, then pulled him Xuxu into his arms, patted him comfortingly, Said: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
Yu Chu's face was pressed against his hard bulletproof vest by Xie Xingmu, and he felt a little confused.
He didn't know why the police came so quickly, and how they found him in danger, so he didn't make a sound. Xie Xingmu thought he was frightened, and continued in a soft voice: "It's safe now, don't worry, don't be afraid."
The walkie-talkie kept chatting, the bright lights were shining around, a group of criminal police escorted the thugs out, and the parking lot was noisy.
Yu Chu struggled to raise his head, Xie Xingmu let go of his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go."
Yu Chu followed him up to the negative floor and saw the two bar security guards. One was carried on a stretcher in a coma, and the other told the police excitedly: "...they are looking for me everywhere, holding a murder weapon more than a foot long, I just got under this car and got under that car .”
One of the thugs who was detained began to cry out: "We won't kill people. It was Boss Chen who asked us to beat up that kid to vent our anger, saying that he helped someone win the money. Mr. Police, how dare I kill people? Arms are there to scare people."
The other thug was pushed forward, and he also turned his head and shouted: "I don't know how to kill people, but that kid almost strangled one of our brothers to death."
"Shut up, we'll talk about it at the police station if we have anything to say." The criminal policeman behind him scolded.
When Xie Xingmu heard this, he suddenly said: "Wait." The two criminal police escorting the thugs stopped, and Xie Xingmu stepped forward and asked, "What is Boss Chen? What is playing cards to cheat?"
The thug pointed his chin in the direction of Yu Chu, and replied angrily: "This kid played cards with Chen Sheng at night, and Chen Sheng lost money, so let us take him to clean up."
Xie Xingmu was silent for a few seconds, and shouted: "Is it an honor to gamble? Are you still following the rules of the casino? Is it reasonable for you to illegally hijack citizens with murder weapons? Take them back to the police station for interrogation."
"Yes." The two policemen pushed the thug away.
Xie Xingmu turned around slowly, and looked at Yu Chu with half-closed eyes: "Gambling? Gambling? Getting money?"
Yu Chu stood obediently, and smiled innocently at him with her head tilted, two dimples appeared on her white and tender cheeks.
"Team Xie, Team Xie, a bag of money was found under a car." A policeman walked over with a plastic bag.
Yu Chu recognized at a glance that it was the money she had hidden at the beginning, and said loudly, "That bag is mine."
"Oh? Let me have a look." Xie Xingmu reached out to take the plastic bag, looked inside and asked, "How much is this?"
"Fifty thousand." Yu Chu replied.
"Where did it come from?"
"I picked it up."
Xie Xingmu glanced at him, and handed the plastic bag to the policeman: "This is gambling money, confiscated."
"yes."
Yu Chu watched helplessly as his money was taken away, and his heart was bleeding.
After everyone was taken away, Yu Chu also walked out beside Xie Xingmu. Several police cars had already parked at the gate. The unconscious security guard was sent to the hospital, and the other security guard and thugs were taken to the police station .
Not far away, Li Siming came over and said to Xie Xingmu: "Captain Xie, they all said they were sent by Chen Sheng because Yu Chu won his money in the afternoon."
"Which Chen Sheng? Is that the contractor?"
"Yes, it's the builder who does the project. He's usually a little unclean and has a criminal record in the bureau."
Xie Xingmu pondered for a while, and said, "I see, you take these people back for interrogation first, and if they are related to Chen Sheng, let him be investigated."
"Yes." After Li Siming responded, he looked at Yu Chu, nodded his head and said hello, and said, "You scared our Xie team, and thought the fish came to bite the hook—"
"Why are you still talking nonsense? You talk too much, why don't you hurry up and take someone away?" Xie Xingmu interrupted him suddenly.
Li Siming was slightly stunned, and then said as if nothing had happened: "Yes, then I'm leaving, how about you, Team Xie?"
Xie Xingmu said: "I will send Yu Chu back first."
"Don't you take it to the police station to cooperate with the investigation?"
Xie Xingmu glanced at him indifferently, Li Siming reacted immediately, shut his mouth and turned to leave.
Xie Xingmu took off his bulletproof vest, threw it to a policeman, opened the door of his big G car parked by the side of the road, and said to Yu Chu, "Get in the car."
Yu Chu got into the co-pilot, fastened his seat belt, and Big G turned around and turned onto the street.
Neither of them spoke, and the car was very quiet. Yu Chu leaned back in the chair and looked at the closed shops on the side of the road. The flashing neon light penetrated through the car window, flickering his face.
"You still gamble?" Xie Xingmu looked in the rearview mirror, turned the car to the left, and asked in a nonchalant manner.
Yu Chu didn't answer him, but just looked away, took out her mobile phone from her pocket, and turned it over to check it back and forth.
Xie Xingmu watched his movements from the rearview mirror inside the car, and asked, "What's wrong? The phone is broken?"
Yu Chu threw the phone in his palm, then threw it on the front fender of the car, and said in a flat tone, "I'll give it back to you, no need."
Xie Xingmu glanced at him sideways, and saw that although he didn't have any expression, his face was tense, and his eyes were only looking straight ahead, so he understood immediately.
"Installing a tracker in your phone is also for your safety." He sighed.
Yu Chu sneered: "It's just bait, needless to say it so nicely."
Xie Xingmu's Adam's apple twitched, and finally he didn't say anything. He just parked the car by the side of the road, picked up Yuchu's mobile phone on the fender, took out the calling card, and then took out the calling card of his own phone, swapped it in, and put his Pass the phone to Yu Chu.
"You can't do without a mobile phone, can you use my head office?"
Yu Chu didn't even glance at it, and said coldly: "It's not rare."
Seeing that he didn't answer, Xie Xingmu had no choice but to put the phone between his back and the seat, rolled down the car window, and took out the lighter and cigarettes.
The place where he parked was by the bridge, and there were sounds of frogs, insects and running water, which were carried by the wind and floated into the car window. Yu Chu simply loosened his seat belt, opened the door and got out of the car.
He walked to the side of the stone railing and leaned, looking at the bridge in a daze, after a while he felt someone approaching beside him, Xie Xingmu asked in a low voice: "Are you unhappy?"
"It's nothing to be unhappy about." Yu Chu didn't refuse to answer, but her tone was flat, with a bit of alienation in it.
Xie Xingmu leaned beside him, took a puff of a cigarette, and said as if explaining: "Yu Shiqing is not talking now, the only breakthrough point is your key. The key is not only wanted by the police, but also behind his back. People who want to get it too. So, we put a location device in your phone."
Yu Chu hooked the corners of her lips, and said noncommittally: "I know, in fact, I was released from the police station because you cast the bait."
Xie Xingmu knew that what he said was the fish biting the bait that Li Siming said just now, so he didn't refute, just said: "Don't think too badly about everything."
"I didn't think anything too bad, I just stated the facts." Yu Chu turned to look at him, his brown eyes became lighter under the street light, "Your criminal police team dispatched tonight because you thought I caught a big fish. "
Xie Xingmu stared at him fixedly, then turned his head after a while, looking at the dark river in the distance and continued to smoke. He waited until the end of a cigarette before he stubbed out the cigarette butt and said, "Let's go."
Back in the car, the two of them didn't speak again, and Xie Xingmu didn't ask Yu Chu's address, and drove the car directly outside the community where he rented a house.
Yu Chu got off the car without looking back, Xie Xingmu glanced at the mobile phone that had fallen on the co-pilot, picked it up and got out of the car, and said behind him: "There is no parking in this neighborhood, just wait for me, I'll go and park in front The car will take you in."
Yu Chu kept walking forward, without any intention of stopping, Xie Xingmu sighed slightly, ignored the car, and stopped directly on the side of the road, striding to chase the person in front.
The street lamp shone on Yu Chu's body. Although his back was thin, it was straight and even a little stiff. Just when Xie Xingmu was walking side by side with him, he suddenly turned his head and said, "Let's go."
Xie Xingmu said: "I will send you home and leave."
"No, you are with the bait and you startle the fish, so can anyone still take the bait?"
Yu Chu's tone was very calm, without ridicule or anger, as if he was talking about a very ordinary and trivial matter. But his eyes were black and white, so clear that Xie Xingmu could see the unconcealable sadness in them.
Xie Xingmu suddenly felt that if he insisted on sending him off, maybe he would cry.
During this period of time, Yu Chu gave Xie Xingmu a completely different feeling from before. He didn't cry after he fell into the sea, he didn't cry when he was seriously injured by Yu Shiqing, and he didn't cry when he was chased by the thugs just now.
But now, Xie Xingmu felt that he could shed tears at any time, because of this thought, his heart suddenly constricted, feeling stuffy and swollen, very uncomfortable.
After such a night, Yu Chu's well-groomed hair had fallen down and covered her forehead softly. Xie Xingmu suddenly wanted to reach out and push away the lock of hair that blocked his eyes, but he held back the movement of his fingers, and replied dryly: "Okay."
Yu Chu turned around and walked into the dark alley, Xie Xingmu just stood there and watched him, until his back completely merged into the night, and he could no longer be seen.
Yu Chu walked slowly, her heart gradually calmed down.
He thought, maybe he is too greedy for that little bit of warmth, and he is reluctant to let go of the little kindness others have shown him.
He always thought that he could resist all the cold, but the moment he woke up from the sea, when he heard Xie Xingmu's voice, he felt that the world was still warm.
And that temperature is so beautiful, once he feels it, he never wants to go back to the biting cold, so he doesn't want to leave this city yet, he wants to stay here temporarily, and he wants to stay not far from the person who gave him the temperature place.
But at this moment, he only felt that his whole body was frozen into ice. In this warm night in the seaside city, he had to use all his strength to keep himself from shivering from the cold.
Going out of the alley and passing through the small garden, Yu Chu went upstairs lightly. The dim corridor lights illuminated the stairs. He avoided the old sofas and broken tables and chairs piled up in the corner, and reached into his trouser pocket for the door key.
He was already very tired and just wanted to go home and have a good sleep.
But just as he went up the stairs, he saw the door of his room was wide open, and there were still lights spilling out from the living room.
Yu Chu rushed into the house in three steps at a time, and what appeared in front of him was a messy room, the sofa was scratched, and the sponge was exposed outside.
The quilt and pillow in the bedroom were thrown on the floor, all scratched, feathers flew all over the room, even the shampoo and shower gel in the bathroom was cut into two pieces, and viscous liquid dripped all over the floor.
This is not a thief entering the house, but someone looking for something, it should be the key.
Yu Chu went to the kitchen to check again. Those seasoning bottles were also not let go, the lids were unscrewed, and all kinds of seasonings were sprinkled on the chopping board.
He opened the refrigerator and saw that only one bag of potato chips hadn't been torn. After standing still for a moment, he tore open the mouth of the bag, fed a piece of potato chips into his mouth, and chewed slowly.
There was no taste in my mouth.
Knock knock knock.
There was a knock on the door, and Xie Xingmu stood at the gate.
Yu Chu glanced at him, and continued to eat potato chips with his head down. Xie Xingmu only knocked twice before entering the room, frowning, looking at the mess in the room, and then dialed the phone.
"Li Siming, bring a few people to the scene... yes, now... the address is..."
Yu Chu walked to the sofa that had been peeled off and sat down, while Xie Xingmu was standing opposite him. The room was very quiet, except for the click of potato chips being chewed.
He didn't look at Xie Xingmu, but he could hear him go to the kitchen, turn on the faucet to catch the water, and then the sound of the gas stove being ignited.
After a while, Yu Chu finished eating the bag of potato chips, and Xie Xingmu also came out of the kitchen with a cup of boiling water in his hand.
He handed the glass of water to Yu Chu: "Drink it, I used two glasses to pass the water in turn, the temperature has cooled down."
Yu Chu took the water glass silently, and drank it in small sips.
Xie Xingmu reached out to catch the empty cup again, and he handed it over.
Li Siming came quickly, and there was a series of footsteps on the stairs. Xie Xingmu walked out, and Yu Chu heard him saying to Li Siming: "Take Yu Chu to the hotel for one night, and I will stay to investigate the site."
