"Uncle Guan, I'm Zhao Mengran, a reporter from Jiangxia Evening News, do you remember?" Zhao Mengran threw out his identity, but he didn't expect Guan Shaoqing to think for a while, then shook his head and said, "I don't remember." ”

"I'm a friend of your son Liu Chen, I was also there last time your father and son met in the hospital, maybe there were more people at that time, you didn't notice me, hehehe. ”

Guan Shaoqing suddenly realized: "Oh, you are Liu Chen's friend, why do I say something familiar." That's okay, of course I can't refuse Liu Chen's friend, just ask what you want to interview. ”

Seeing that Guan Shaoqing finally agreed to accept his interview, Zhao Mengran was excited, and took out the equipment he had already prepared, in order to avoid causing the old man's worries, Zhao Mengran said in particular: "Uncle Guan, I will do post-processing when the time comes, to protect the privacy of you and your family, so you can open your heart and say, don't have any worries." ”

Guan Shaoqing nodded approvingly, Liu Chen's friend he could trust.

In this interview, Guan Shaoqing recalled all kinds of misfortunes and luck from 28 years ago to the present, and also shared his journey of searching for his son all the way and his feelings about the ups and downs of his life, and a realistic version of "Orphaned" appeared in Zhao Mengran's voice recorder.

At the end of the interview, Zhao Mengran drove the car and prepared to report back to the society to tidy up, but when he came to Times Square, the road became very congested, the traffic was moving slowly, and the rapid horn was constantly sounding.

Suddenly, "Catch the thief!", a girl in red clothes was chasing a man in his thirties, this scene reminded Zhao Mengran of the first time he met Liu Chen, I don't know what force drove her, opened the car door and chased in the direction of the thief's escape, shouting while chasing: "Catch the thief! Help stop him!" in an attempt to attract the attention of more passers-by, but no one who was willing to stand up to help.

Regardless of the cold, Zhao Mengran and the girl in red chased the thief together, Zhao Mengran took out his mobile phone and called the police.

In order to preserve the evidence, Zhao Mengran turned on the camera function of his mobile phone, filmed the scene of chasing the thief, and recorded the appearance and characteristics of the thief, so that the police could quickly investigate and arrest the thief after he escaped.

However, her worries were unnecessary, and the police quickly arrived at the scene and blocked the thief's way in front of her, successfully arresting the thief.

The girl in red took back the stolen things intact, and told the police about Zhao Mengran's righteous and courageous behavior, and was about to express her gratitude, but found that the girl who helped her had long since disappeared.

Zhao Mengran walked on the way back, the warm sunlight sprinkled on her face, exuding a dazzling light. At this moment, she suddenly felt that she had a kind of shadow of that person.

In the newspaper office, Zhao Mengran made a cup of tea, turned on the computer, and was about to slowly produce an exclusive press release, but found that a voice recorder was missing. Just in case, during the previous interview, Zhao Mengran deliberately opened two voice recorders, but he rummaged through his bag, but he couldn't see the other voice recorder.

Although this does not affect Zhao Mengran's writing of news releases, if the voice recorder is picked up by someone, all the recordings of the interviews in it will be exposed, and the privacy of Liu Chen and his family will be leaked, which is what Zhao Mengran is most worried about. She was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, and in her panic, she knocked over the freshly brewed tea, and the table was in a mess.

Zhao Mengran tried hard to recall every moment after he came out of Liu Chen's house, looking for a possible lost location, which must have fallen in the previous pursuit of the thief!

Zhao Mengran hurriedly picked up his bag and mobile phone and rushed to Times Square, parked the car, got out of the car and walked to find the voice recorder. There is a distance of almost two kilometers from Times Square to the place where the thief was caught, so Zhao Mengran bent down and searched carefully step by step, looking for a round trip, a two-kilometer journey, but still found nothing.

Zhao Mengran sat on the stone steps on the side of the road in frustration, almost crying, and swore to Uncle Guan during the interview that she would protect her privacy, and she was so anxious that she was about to cry when such a thing happened only a few hours later.

Unwilling, Zhao Mengran carefully looked for a back and forth, and got the same result, she felt particularly helpless and desperate, all she could do now was to pray that the recorder fell in a place that no one knew, or was picked up by an honest person, and then returned to her.

Zhao Mengran only guessed a small part correctly, the recorder was picked up by a person, but that person was not an honest person, and he didn't return it to her.

When Wang Yun was on duty on Square Road, he secretly found a corner where no one was smoking while the leader was away, and suddenly saw a black rectangular object not far away, which should be an electronic product from the appearance, he took a puff of cigarette, walked forward to pick it up, and found that it was a voice recorder. There was still a smell of perfume on the recorder, and he judged that it was a girl who had lost it, what would this girl record? Could it be...... Curiosity and shamelessness made him decide quickly, and he slipped the recorder into his pocket, ready to release it when he returned home in the evening.

It took too long to find the recorder during the day, Zhao Mengran could only work overtime at night to catch up with the manuscript, her mood had gradually stabilized, she just wanted to make the manuscript well now, as for other things, she could only take one step at a time.

The so-called fear of something, Zhao Mengran's phone rang, it was an unfamiliar number, at first I thought it was a sales product and didn't answer, but the other party never hung up, so I picked it up, and a strange man's voice came from the other end.

"Hey, is it reporter Zhao Mengran?"

From the voice and way of speaking, Zhao Mengran was sure that there was no such person around him, and asked, "Are you?"

"It doesn't matter who I am, I have an interview recording in my hand, I wonder if you are interested?"

Zhao Mengran suddenly understood that the other party was the one who picked up his lost voice recorder, and of course he also understood the purpose of the other party's call, so he asked directly: "What do you want?"

There was a burst of laughter from the other end, "I've heard of Reporter Zhao's name for a long time, but I haven't seen a real person, why don't you make an appointment to meet?"

"Why should I believe you?" Zhao Mengran asked vigilantly.

"Since you don't believe it, so be it. The man seemed to know how to indulge in the desires, he didn't show a strong desire, but an indifferent attitude, and this kind of performance was exactly what worried Zhao Mengran the most.

Seeing that the other party was about to hang up the phone, Zhao Mengran hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, is that recorder really in your hand?"

"Hahaha, it's not in my hands, I think you should give it a try. ”

"Time, place. ”

"That Xingyue Cafe on Beijing East Road, 22 o'clock tonight. ”

After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, and Zhao Mengran couldn't allow him to refuse, so late, should he go or not? Zhao Mengran was very entangled in his heart, if he went, what if the other party took the opportunity to blackmail him into opening his mouth? But if he didn't go, if the other party leaked the content of the recording, whether it was for Liu Chen or his family, it would have a great impact, and after weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Mengran decided to go to the appointment.

Looking up at the time, it was already half past twenty-one, Zhao Mengran packed up and immediately got up and walked out of the office, and drove to the Xingyue Cafe on Beijing East Road.

At this time, there were not many people in the café, there were only two tables of guests, and they didn't see them talking, so they drank coffee silently, the lights were relatively dim, and the atmosphere was a little weird, Zhao Mengran felt a shudder.

chose a window seat and sat down, Zhao Mengran waited until the appointed time, but no one came, so he sent a message to the mysterious man: "I'm already here, where are you?"

Soon received a reply: "Coming soon, wait a minute." ”

Zhao Mengran held the mobile phone and looked around, and sure enough, five minutes later, a fat man with a fat head and big ears walked over to this side.

"Hello, you are Reporter Zhao. The fat man stretched out his hand with a greasy face, Zhao Mengran did not shake hands with him, but nodded politely: "Yes." ”

The fat man's eyes kept looking at Zhao Mengran in front of him, and this kind of evil gaze made Zhao Mengran uncomfortable. If it weren't for the purpose of getting the recorder back, Zhao Mengran would never sit face-to-face with such a person.

"Reporter Zhao is really like a fairy and has an extraordinary temperament, and I was attracted by you at the first glance when I entered the door. ”

Facing the fat man's praise, Zhao Mengran felt a feeling of nausea, but still smiled politely: "There are three tables of people here, and I am the only one who is alone, are you noticing that I am not normal?"

"Hehe, that's right, don't drink any coffee?" The fat man thought that his sense of humor was quite likable, and took the initiative to offer courtesy.

But Zhao Mengran was not interested in drinking coffee with him, she went straight to the point and asked, "Don't drink it, what about my voice recorder?"

The fat man who had just come to be interested was most of the indifference of Zhao Mengran, this kind of beautiful and temperamental girl, the fat man was the first time to see her.

"Oh, hehe, the recorder is at home, if you don't mind, come with me to get it. ”

When Zhao Mengran heard this, she couldn't help blurting out a dirty word, "Are you playing me?" After speaking, she also realized that she had lost her temper, and hurriedly repeated: "You are playing me?"

The fat man was also stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted, and explained with a smile: "Of course I didn't fool you, I was really at home, I went out to the appointment in a hurry, and I forgot it for a while, if you are in a hurry, come back to the house with me now, what do you see?"

In order to get the recorder back as soon as possible so as not to have too many dreams at night, Zhao Mengran decided to go back with him, "Okay, go now, let's go." ”

At this time, Zhao Mengran obviously didn't expect the danger to be approaching her, and the fat man behind him seemed to see the prey slowly walking into the trap he had set, revealing an evil smile.

The fat man's home is in the Donghu community, which is a relatively old community, which is basically a rental area for migrant workers, and few locals live here. Zhao Mengran followed the fat man through the community, and from time to time a few tenants went out to pour water, and the sound of the TV could be faintly heard from the room.

After turning a few alleys, the lights gradually thinned out, Zhao Mengran felt that something was wrong, slowed down and asked, "Why hasn't it arrived yet?"

The fat man turned his head and smiled: "Soon, I'll be there through the alley in front, I don't have any skills, I can't make money, I can only live in this kind of place where the rent is cheap, so that Reporter Zhao laughed, hehe." ”

The fat man's self-deprecating words made Zhao Mengran embarrassed to ask again, and continued to follow him forward.

Five minutes later, I came to a small seven-story building, there was no light, it seemed that there were not many people living in it, and it was relatively dilapidated. The fat man lived on the top floor, and he inserted the key and slid the door open.

"I didn't lock the door when I went out?" said the fat man, but he didn't pay much attention to it, because he often did.

I opened the door and entered, turned on the lights in the room, and a pungent stench greeted me, and the floor was full of bottles and cans. Zhao Mengran covered his nose and said, "You live in this kind of place?"

"Hehe, it's a person, it's a bit messy, forgive me, forgive me. ”

The fat man moved a stool for Zhao Mengran to sit down, and was about to make tea, but Zhao Mengran stopped: "No need to make tea, give me the recorder." ”

At this time, the fat man suddenly put down the teacup in his hand, walked to the door and locked the door.

"Why are you locking the door?" Zhao Mengran felt a little uneasy and got up and asked.

The fat man explained unhurriedly: "There are more bad people coming and going here, so it is safer to lock the door." ”

The more Zhao Mengran thought about it, the more wrong it became, and he wanted to go to the door to open the door, but was stopped by the fat man.

"What do you want to do?" Zhao Mengran took a step back, frightened.

"Lonely men and widows are in the same room, what do you think I will do? Reporter Zhao, don't you want to get back the recorder, it's very simple, how about spending the night with me tonight?" The fat man finally revealed his insidious purpose.

"Shameless!" Zhao Mengran knew that she had fallen into the trap of the wicked, and scolded her, but in this kind of place, it is estimated that no one will hear her shouting in her throat, she regrets that she is so naïve and simple, and believes a stranger so easily.

Zhao Mengran wanted to break free to open the door, but was pulled back by the fat man, she tried to take out her mobile phone and call for help, but the fat man slapped her and the mobile phone was thrown to the ground.

Zhao Mengran is like a lamb that has fallen into the mouth of a tiger, no matter how she struggles and resists, it is always in vain in front of the fat man, is her innocent body going to be ruined by such a stinky man here? After she resisted to no avail, she couldn't help but shed tears of great humiliation.

Suddenly, a document fell out of the pocket of the fat man's jacket, on which was written the name and unit of the fat man - Wang Yun, the traffic management squadron of the Jiangxia City Traffic Police Detachment.

"Are you a traffic policeman?" Zhao Mengran was shocked when he saw that the other party was a person in the establishment.

Wang Yun, who was picking up Zhao Mengran's clothes, was frightened by this unexpected scene, he stopped what he was doing, and explained: "Hehe, I'm not a traffic policeman, this document is fake, and it's used to pick up girls." ”

Wang Yun was afraid that his true identity would be exposed, so he made up a lie, but he was still a little apprehensive, and in hesitation, a steady footsteps came from behind him.

The figure came out of the inner room and stood at the door of the room and glared at Wang Yun without saying a word.

"You...... Who are you?" Wang Yun asked in surprise.

Zhao Mengran recognized this person: "Liu Chen, save me!" Taking advantage of Wang Yun's inattention, Zhao Mengran broke free from his entanglement and got up to escape, but Wang Yun still blocked his way.

Liu Chen suddenly laughed: "Officer Wang, you will not only be expelled from the police for this kind of behavior, but also go to jail, you know?"

When Wang Yun heard this, he immediately panicked, and argued in a hurry: "Officer Wang......? I'm not Officer Wang, I'm not ......" Suddenly he remembered the content of the recording, "You are Liu Chen?"

He froze and threatened: "I have copied the content of the recording, if you mess around, the content of the recording will be leaked, and then it will ......."

"Snap", Liu Chen interrupted Wang Yun's words with a loud slap, and he continued: "Although you leak the content of the recording, I don't care, but you ......" Liu Chen glanced out of the window: "If I throw you down from here, I don't think anyone will know, and if you fake a fear of crime and commit suicide, you will never be blind." ”

Liu Chen approached Wang Yun as he spoke, Wang Yun was already trembling with fright at this time, and there was no arrogance in his eyes except for horror.

Liu Chen's name is already very loud in the river, especially in the area of Zhongxing Street, everyone knows that Wang Yun just wanted to covet Zhao Mengran's beauty, but he didn't expect to provoke someone who shouldn't be messed with.

Of course, even if there was no Zhao Mengran, he would have provoked Liu Chen, but he hadn't remembered it yet.

"Please let me go, I don't dare, I don't dare anymore, I'm lustful for a while, I deserve it, please let me go......" Wang Yun knelt in front of Liu Chen, begging to be let go.

This kind of person who is sometimes arrogant and sometimes beggars, Liu Chen has seen too much, Wang Yun in front of him is, and so is Liang Shaoxi, there are always people who regard blind optimism and self-confidence as a kind of chic, hehe.

"Let you go for the time being, if I let me know that the recording is leaking, I won't spare you!"

Liu Chen glanced at Wang Yun, pulled up the frightened Zhao Mengran and left the room, while Wang Yun knelt on the ground for a long time and didn't dare to get up, sweating incessantly.

After escaping, Zhao Mengran re-embraced the feeling of freedom, and what made her even more excited was Liu Chen's sudden appearance and rescue her.

"By the way, why did you suddenly show up, I thought I was going to be done tonight. ”

"I originally went to his house to wait for him, and I wanted to look for him for something, but I didn't expect you to come with him. Liu Chen said it very easily, as if it was not worth mentioning just dealing with some daily trivial matters.

Zhao Mengran was still worried: "The voice recorder in his hand is the content of my interview with your family, you just let him go, what if he leaks it?"

Liu Chen laughed after hearing this: "Haha, that's not a top-secret file, if it is leaked, it will be leaked, but don't worry, he doesn't have the guts." Also, of course I won't let him go so easily, I took pictures of the evidence of his crime against you. Liu Chen glanced at Zhao Mengran, and could clearly see the embarrassment on her face, and stretched out his hand to pat her person: "If you mind, you can delete this video now, I still have a lot of evidence of his violation, and it is easy for him to take off that police uniform." ”

Zhao Mengran was stunned: "When did you collect evidence?"

"I noticed him a long time ago, and the last time between Xiaomei's mother and Zeng Ahu was what he did. ”

"I see, I must report it, and I can't let a scumbag like him mix in the people's police force and endanger the people. Zhao Mengran said indignantly.
