Chen Yuncheng walked towards the subway station. On the way, he tried to call Zhang Wenyong again, but the other party still didn't answer. He had to leave him a message on WeChat, then put the phone back in his pocket and trot across the street at the green light to enter the platform of the subway station.
When entering the station, Chen Yuncheng looked up subconsciously and saw a dark gray Land Rover passing by the street. He glanced hurriedly, he didn't even see the license plate number clearly, and then lowered his head and stepped up and down the elevator.
Going back to his canteen, Chen Yuncheng opened the rolling shutter door halfway, and after he got in, he closed the door and locked it from the inside.
The lights in the shop outside had been turned off. He went straight through and entered the interior, turning on an orange-red ceiling light on the roof.
Chen Yuncheng picked up his cup, walked to the water dispenser, squatted down to get the water, and at the same time took out his mobile phone and called Gu Yaojia. The two of them had nothing to say. Chen Yuncheng advised her not to be too nervous. Zhou Yan is an adult. If there is still no news tomorrow, he will accompany her to the police.
After the phone call, the water glass was also full. Chen Yuncheng got up and picked up the water glass, poured all the warm water down, and then put the water glass on the table and walked towards the bathroom.
There is only one room with one bathroom in the back of his commissary.
The room is not really small, but the whole wall is lined with cardboard boxes, which are filled with drinks, beer and other goods. The only space left is a bed, a cloth wardrobe, and a wall attached to it. Small square table.
Chen Yuncheng didn't watch TV again after taking a shower, but just lay on the bed and played with his mobile phone. He was actually a little absent-minded, not for Zhou Yan's business, but for the man he met at the door of KTV today.
The moment the two passed by, he felt that he knew the person, so he stopped and kept looking at the person's back, hoping that the other person would also recognize him.
But when the man left without looking back, Chen Yuncheng began to be uncertain again. He thought that they had been separated for 16 years. When they separated, they were still children. The person in his memory was really the same person. person
Chen Yuncheng put down the phone and decided to temporarily put aside the distracting thoughts in his head and take a good sleep. He lay on his back on the bed and put his arms under his head, thinking to himself, what if that person was Ning Junyan? For his life, it has long been a past experience.
Waking up the next morning, Chen Yuncheng, as usual, opened the grocery store first, and then walked to the noodle shop two shops apart to eat noodles.
He sat at the table near the door, and had a few words with the boss who cooked the noodles. When his noodles had just been served, a man sat beside his table.
Chen Yuncheng raised his head and saw that the person sitting opposite was Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan looked haggard and called him, "Brother Cheng."
Chen Yuncheng took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopstick holder, mixed the beef noodles first, and then said, "Your wife found you all night."
Zhou Yan said, "My phone is out of battery." After speaking, he saw that Chen Yuncheng's face was not very good-looking, and added: "I called her."
Chen Yuncheng picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth. After swallowing it all, he asked Zhou Yan, "Have you had breakfast?"
Zhou Yan said, "Not yet."
Chen Yuncheng raised his hand to greet the boss: "Cook another bowl of beef noodles."
Zhou Yan didn't refuse. He looked like he was hungry. As soon as the noodles came up, he picked up his chopsticks and ate it.
Chen Yuncheng finished his bowl of noodles first, then sat beside him leaning on the back of the chair and looked at him.
Until Zhou Yan finished eating the noodles, Chen Yuncheng asked him, "Are you full?"
Zhou Yan took out a tissue to wipe his mouth and nodded.
Chen Yuncheng said, "Do you have something to tell me?"
Zhou Yan folded the used tissues and put them on the table, stared at the half bowl of noodle soup left in the bowl, and said, "Brother Cheng, can you lend me some money?"
Chen Yuncheng asked him, "What's the matter?"
Zhou Yan said, "My son is sick."
Chen Yuncheng was a little surprised: "Sick? Is it serious?"
Zhou Yan said: "It's a heart problem. I can do surgery, but I can't get that much money now."
Chen Yuncheng said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Zhou Yan's expression was a little painful, he raised his hand and rubbed his face vigorously, "I know you don't have much money, at first I wanted to borrow it from Brother Yong, but there was a dispute with him, and now I've lost my job, I really have no choice."
Chen Yuncheng whispered: "Zhang Wenyong is not a good thing."
Zhou Yan said, "I can't help it either."
Chen Yuncheng asked him, "How much money do you need?"
Zhou Yan said: "At least more than 100,000."
Chen Yuncheng looked at him: "How can I have so much money?"
Zhou Yan did not speak.
Chen Yuncheng sighed heavily, he stood up, settled the money first, then stretched out his hand to pull Zhou Yan up and said, "Let's go."
"Brother Cheng?" Zhou Yan looked a little surprised.
Chen Yuncheng didn't say much. He took Zhou Yan back to his canteen, went into the inner room alone, and came out after a while, and then took Zhou Yan to a nearby bank ATM to withdraw 30,000 yuan.
When handing over the money to Zhou Yan, Chen Yuncheng said, "I only have so much money. You can collect it yourself and do what you need to do."
Zhou Yan couldn't reach out for a long time.
Chen Yuncheng said, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Yan said, "I feel very sorry for you. It's all the money you've worked so hard to save for the past two years."
Chen Yuncheng put the money in Zhou Yan, and said in a flat tone: "Take it and pay it back slowly. Anyway, I don't need the money now."
Zhou Yan and Chen Yuncheng walked out of the bank together, Chen Yuncheng walked in front with his hands in his pockets, Zhou Yan caught up with him from the side, and said, "Brother Cheng, don't you think about finding a girlfriend?"
Chen Yuncheng simply said "ah" without saying much.
Zhou Yan added: "I will definitely return the money to you as soon as possible."
Chen Yuncheng didn't say anything. When he was walking around the corner, he suddenly stopped and said to Zhou Yan, "Last night, I seem to have seen—"
"Who?" Zhou Yan was puzzled.
Chen Yuncheng didn't go on. Not far ahead was his canteen, and he saw a police car parked on the side of the road.
Zhou Yan followed his line of sight and saw the police car, and suddenly asked nervously, "Are the police looking for trouble for you?"
Chen Yuncheng shook his head, he patted Zhou Yan on the shoulder and told him to go first, then walked towards the canteen alone.
When approaching the canteen, Chen Yuncheng first looked down at the police car and saw that it was empty. He then saw a slender figure standing against the glass container in the canteen.
"Officer Long," Chen Yuncheng called out, his tone becoming enthusiastic unconsciously.
Long Zhanyu turned his head to look at him, his slender fingers bent up and knocked on the glass of the counter, and said, "Take a pack of cigarettes."
Chen Yuncheng smiled and said, "Okay, wait a moment."
When Chen Yuncheng went into the counter to get the cigarette, Long Zhanyu kept looking at him. When Chen Yuncheng turned his head, he saw Long Zhanyu's dark eyes staring at him without blinking. He handed the cigarette over and said, "You often Draw a sign."
Long Zhanyu unzipped his down jacket and took out his mobile phone from his inner bag to pay.
Chen Yuncheng asked: "On duty last night? Why is it so early today?"
Long Zhanyu gave a vague "um" and said, "Have you seen Zhang Wenyong recently?"
Chen Yuncheng hesitated for a moment, and decided to tell the truth: "I went to him yesterday and couldn't find it."
Long Zhanyu took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and approached Chen Yuncheng: "Why are you looking for him?"
Chen Yuncheng reached out and picked up the lighter on the counter, helped Long Zhanyu lit the cigarette he was biting at the corner of his mouth, and said, "Something happened to one of my brothers. I wanted to ask him, but I didn't even see anyone else."
Long Zhanyu slowly exhaled smoke from the corner of his mouth, his eyes fixed on Chen Yuncheng: "Be honest."
Chen Yuncheng said in a serious tone: "Promise the organization that you will be honest."
Long Zhanyu pushed away from the front of the counter.
Chen Yuncheng suddenly said, "Officer Long, you look so good-looking, aren't you afraid of being harassed when you're handling a case?"
Long Zhanyu grinned, turned and walked outside the canteen, opened the driver's door of the police car and sat in.
Chen Yuncheng walked to the door, waved his hand and said, "Walk slowly."
