restaurant storm
"Hi! What a coincidence! You guys come here for dinner too?" Zhao Rui showed a smile, waved to Ding Ling, and said hello.
Ding Ling got rid of Secretary Zhang and went out to a party with a few friends. He was originally in a cheerful and high spirits, but when he saw Zhao Rui, he was in a good mood and flew away in an instant.
Every time she saw Zhao Rui, especially the lazy smile on Zhao Rui's face, she always unconsciously recalled the scene that happened in the police apartment.
Her innocence, which she had never shown in front of any man, was actually seen by this enemy!
This thought made her unconsciously feel a deep resentment from the bottom of her heart, and this resentment became extremely strong when she met Zhao Rui.
"Yes! What a coincidence."
Ding Ling responded lightly, and then sat down at the dining table on Zhao Rui's right with a few girlfriends.
As soon as Ding Ling's friends sat down, they started muttering.
"Ding Ling, is he your colleague?"
"Looks very energetic!"
"Exactly! Unexpectedly, there is such a handsome guy in your police force!"
"..."
"..."
They glanced at Zhao Rui, giggling and talking.
Ding Ling glared at his girlfriends angrily, and complained in a low voice, "How handsome is he? Brother Shuan is about the same. What kind of eyes do you have? You're too nympho!"
"It's because you have bad eyesight! Such a spirited guy is in front of you, but he turned a blind eye!" The girlfriends immediately counterattacked in unison.
"We have a horoscope. Okay, I won't tell you, I'll go get some food."
Ding Ling rolled his eyes, said something stiffly, and went straight to the food table to get something to eat.
Zhao Rui suddenly stood up from his seat and walked side by side with Ding Ling.
"Why are you following me?" Ding Ling glanced at Zhao Rui out of the corner of his eye, and asked without anger.
"I don't want to follow you either, but I've finished eating everything on my plate, so I can't just sit there." Zhao Rui said with a smile, "Although you are my boss at work, but now it's off-duty time , so you don’t even have to distinguish between high and low when eating.”
Ding Ling's face was a little feverish, and he felt that his actions just now seemed to be a little sentimental.
Zhao Rui smiled, didn't say much, went to the food table to get the food, and then returned to his seat.
Just sat down, before he had time to eat, the old man at the table on the left suddenly jumped up and shouted excitedly:
"Ah! My bag! My bag is gone!"
Zhao Rui was taken aback, turned his head and saw the old man was like an ant on a hot pot, circling around anxiously, with his head down, looking around the seat non-stop.
"It was put here just now! Why did it disappear in a blink of an eye!"
"What? The bag is missing? How is that possible?"
The middle-aged couple who had been sitting opposite the old man were also taken aback. They had been sitting and eating together, why such a big bag disappeared under their noses!
"It's 20,000 yuan, but I borrowed money from you just now! It's life-saving money for my wife's medical treatment! What should I do if the money disappears!" The old man was full of grief, and beat his chest. , almost cried out.
In his desperation, he made a huge commotion, attracting the attention of the diners around him. The waiter in the restaurant also rushed over to ask what happened, and the surroundings became a mess.
Zhao Rui reckoned that the old man's bag must have been stolen.
It's just that when he went to fetch food just now, he didn't see the thief. Otherwise, with him nearby, the thief should not be able to succeed.
If it is too late to find the thief now, the thief may have gone away after stealing the bag.
Zhao Rui didn't have any hope, and scanned the hall for a week with his eyes. Suddenly, a somewhat familiar figure came into his sight!
That figure turned out to be the little girl who spit chewing gum to tease him when she failed to steal his wallet last time!
The girl looked very cute in a small pink coat.
She stood far away at the gate of the restaurant, with her hands behind her back, almost going out, her eyes were on the old man who lost her bag, and there seemed to be a bit of "color" on her beautiful face.
Seeing her appearance, Zhao Rui thought of her occupation, and was almost certain instantly that the thief who took the bag must be this girl.
Zhao Rui couldn't help feeling a little angry.
He felt that this girl really didn't repent, she didn't learn a lesson from her failure last time, maybe the lesson he gave wasn't deep enough.
Zhao Rui stood up, walked around out of the girl's sight, and quietly pushed towards her.
This time, he won't just let the girl go easily like this.
There were so many people in the restaurant, the girl didn't notice Zhao Rui's approaching.
She was still standing at the door, hesitating, as if considering whether she should leave without seeing anything, or return the bag to the poor old man.
The expression on her face kept changing, as if her mind was engaged in a fierce struggle.
After a while, probably conscience finally prevailed, she returned to the restaurant, quietly put the black bag in a more conspicuous place, and then left quickly.
Zhao Rui was slightly taken aback, but unexpectedly, the little girl returned the bag.
He began to feel that this girl seemed a little different from what he had imagined, and hadn't gone too far on the dark road. If he gave her a hand at this time, it might be able to help her get back on track.
He thought for a moment, then chased after the girl's back.
Zhao Rui was extremely fast. In less than half a minute, he circled in front of the girl and blocked her way with his hand.
"Hey, wait! You won't just leave, will you?" Zhao Rui said with a smile.
"Huh? Is that you?"
When the girl saw Zhao Rui, she was taken aback for a moment, but soon recognized Zhao Rui, with a look of surprise on her face.
"Yes! It's me!" Zhao Rui nodded, "You finally got such a large sum of money, why did you pay it back? Twenty thousand should not be considered a small number for you."
"Did you see everything just now?"
The girl became vigilant, she stared into Zhao Rui's eyes, and like a hedgehog, erected invisible thorns around her, completely surrounding herself.
"You've seen almost everything." Zhao Rui smiled.
"What do you want?" The girl acted very tough, but the tension was already revealed in her voice.
"Me? I don't want to do anything." Zhao Rui shrugged, "I just think that your conscience is not lost, so I want to persuade you to turn around quickly."
"Nothing! You're not my mother, and you're not a policeman. Don't lecture me about these things." The girl rolled her eyes in disdain, and didn't take Zhao Rui seriously.
"Oh? Then you are really unlucky." Zhao Rui smiled, took out a police officer's card from his pocket, and waved it in front of the girl, "I am really a policeman."
"ah?"
The girl seemed to be immobilizing someone, her disdainful expression immediately froze on her small face, and her arrogance, which was originally small, was thrown into the Pacific Ocean in an instant.
"You... are you really a policeman?" Her fair throat moved, she swallowed with some difficulty, and asked stammeringly.
"Of course it's true." Zhao Rui raised his eyebrows, "Do you want to go with me to the police station to verify?"
"No! Really no! I believe it is!"
The girl shook her hands desperately, what good will happen if she enters the police station
She knew very well that it was easy to get in, but it might be difficult to get out.
Knowing Zhao Rui's identity, the girl couldn't help feeling a little guilty, she rolled her eyes, immediately changed her tough attitude, revealed a pitiful expression, and began to beg softly.
"Brother, I know I was wrong. I have already sent back the things I took just now. Just let me go this time, okay?"
"You failed to steal my things last time, and you framed me. You bumped into my hand today, and you still want me to let you go?" Zhao Rui looked at the little girl and said with a smile.
The girl was horrified by Zhao Rui's laughter, and secretly groaned in her heart, thinking that she was so unlucky, she offended a policeman last time, and ran into his hands within a few days!
This retribution came really fast!
She lowered her head, looked at her toes, fiddled with the corner of her clothes with her small hands and whispered, "It was just an accident, really, really, just an accident."
The more she spoke, the more confident she became, and her voice gradually became smaller.
"Well, your so-called accident left a very bad impression on my boss when he saw me for the first time!"
"Ah? The policewoman that day was your boss?"
"Yes, and she's in the restaurant today. Shall I call her out?"
"No need." The girl said with a bitter face.
She sighed quietly in her heart, feeling that she was really doomed this time.
