At night in the rental house, Lin Xiaoyu has been transferred from the night shift to the day shift.
The rental house was filled with the aroma of boiled fish freshly poured out of takeout boxes.
I specially ordered a few more dishes and set the table. Lin Xiaoyu came out of the bathroom wiping her hair and paused when she saw this table.
"What day is it today?" She glanced at the dishes on the table.
I pushed a bowl of rice in front of her: "Eat first, and talk while eating."
We ate a few bites quietly and got to the point: "Xiaoyu, I have to trouble you about something. I'm going to the headquarters for training for half a month. The pharmacy has just got on track, and the most worrying thing is the supply of Heishun tablets."
"This channel is too critical. I can't trust it to outsiders." I looked at her.
"After thinking about it, I can only come to beg you. Can your cousin help me keep an eye on it? When I need to replenish the goods, help me connect it."
"The price will still be the same as it is now, so your cousin won't suffer."
Her eyes stayed on my face for a few seconds: "I know. I will say yes to my cousin."
I said thank you politely.
She lowered her head and continued to eat, and after a while she said very softly: "In the future, just say it directly."
The sound of closing the door of the neighbor who returned home late was heard outside the window, and we continued to eat this makeshift dinner, with some trust that it would only become real if it fell on these specific things.
Lin Xiaoyu and I were the only two people in the rental house that night.
After dinner, I thought that maybe I could have a good chat with her while the atmosphere was good tonight.
When I walked into the bathroom to take a shower, the warm water washed over my body, giving me a sense of long-lost anticipation.
Unexpectedly, when he returned to the room after taking a shower, before Lin Xiaoyu could wait, the screen of his mobile phone lit up first.
It was a message from Charlene: "Brother Hao, what are you doing?"
I simply replied: "I just finished my work, what are you doing?"
The phone vibrated, and a new message from Charlene popped up: "That Brother Jie is harassing me again!"
Brother Jie? Liu Zhijie? !
I immediately replied: "Where are you now?"
"At the rental house!" Charlene replied almost instantly.
I grabbed the T-shirt I had just taken off, put it on, and rushed out of the room.
Charlene's door was ajar. As soon as I opened the door, she rushed over and hugged me tightly: "Brother Hao, I'm so scared..."
I patted her back: "Don't be afraid, I'm here. What did he tell you?"
Charlene let go of me, took out her phone and handed it to me.
On the chat interface, the person who noted "Brother Jie" sent a series of explicit messages: "Linlin, let's meet, I won't treat you badly."
"I know you work hard for live streaming, so you won't have to be so tired if you follow me." At this time, the phone vibrated, and Captain Liu sent a message: "We have arrived at the community, room number?"
I sent my location and room number, and whispered to Charlene: "The police will be here soon. You did the right thing, tell me as soon as possible "
"I will help you solve this problem tonight, you first stabilize him and ask her where to meet."
Charlene bit her lip and nodded, and started to send a message to Liu Zhijie.
"Brother Jie, don't be angry... I'm afraid of being seen by acquaintances. How about... go to your place? Or find a secluded place?"
She deliberately delayed the time and dealt with the other party.
After several back and forths, Liu Zhijie finally reported an address: "In one hour, we will go to Hexi Chengzhong Village, the alley behind the hotel."
The moment I received the address, I immediately forwarded it to Team Liu.
"Received. Let's meet at the entrance of the village first, so as not to alert others." Captain Liu quickly replied.
I reassured Charlene, "Don't worry, the police are involved and you will be fine."
Then we hurried downstairs and drove to the agreed meeting point.
At the entrance of Hexi Chengzhong Village, Team Liu and several plainclothes officers were already waiting in a command vehicle disguised as a truck.
I opened the car door and sat in. I quickly and clearly reported the chat history on Charlene’s phone and all the information I knew about Liu Zhijie.
· Team Liu stared at the electronic map of the urban village on the screen: "The situation in this place is very complicated. The buildings are next to each other, the lanes are like a maze, and many rental houses have been renovated privately, and the internal structure is unknown. The most important thing is,"
· "Based on our previous investigation, there are likely to be his hidden sentries in these locations. If our people wear uniforms or enter in large numbers, he will be alerted immediately."
After a while, Team Liu made a deployment: "One group, plainclothes infiltration, two people in groups, pretending to be takeaways, slowly approaching the target hotel from different directions, giving priority to lining up and controlling possible hidden sentries."
"The second group, setting up controls at the main intersections on the periphery to prevent him from escaping."
The order was given, and each group took action quickly and silently.
We are hiding in the corner of the second floor of a residential building opposite the hotel. Team Liu whispered through the headset to confirm that all groups were in place.
Time passed by, and there were only ten minutes left before the appointed time, but Liu Zhijie was still nowhere to be seen at the alley.
Liu Dui signaled me to let Charlene send another message.
I immediately sent a message to Charlene: "Ask him if he has arrived. He said that you are already nearby and you are a little scared. Ask him to pick you up at the alley, otherwise you will not dare to go in."
Team Liu made a prompt decision and changed the plan.
He whispered to me: "Let him come down. Just say that you were accosted by roadside gangsters and you are very scared, and ask him to come down immediately to relieve the siege, otherwise you will leave."
I quickly conveyed my meaning to Charlene.
A few minutes later, a tall and thin man wearing a peaked cap appeared.
He took a few steps towards the entrance of the alley, as if looking for Charlene.
"Action!" Team Liu ordered in a low voice into the headset.
In an instant, two passers-by who looked like they were smoking at the entrance of the alley rushed up from both sides!
At the same time, two police officers quickly descended from the upstairs next door.
Liu Zhijie reacted very quickly. He turned around and wanted to run back, but was tripped by the delivery boy who appeared behind him at some point.
He was struggling to get up, but several plainclothes men were already pressing him to the ground.
Liu Duan and I quickly went downstairs.
A police officer found a mobile phone, a dagger and a small bag of powder suspected of being a rape drug from Liu Zhijie.
When Liu Zhijie was being taken away, he suddenly spat: "Fuck! That bitch fucked me!"
No matter how he shouted, he was still taken into the police car.
