"Hey, old Song!"

"Ah, it's coming!" Boss Song hurriedly ran out of the kitchen and wiped his wet hands on his apron. When he looked up, he saw a middle-aged police officer in uniform in his forties standing in front of the counter.

Boss Song grinned: "Yo, Officer Zhang, why are you here? Have you eaten? Have you eaten at my place?"

"No need. Officer Zhang smiled and waved his hand, "I'll go home after I finish my errands, my wife wraps dumplings, and I'm waiting for me to eat with my children." ”

"Oh, that's good, that's good. Boss Song nodded again and again, stretched out his hand and pulled out the registration book under the counter, "The registration information is here, you can check it." However, it is now lunchtime, and a few residents have not returned from outside. ”

Officer Zhang waved his hand again: "I won't check this today, I'm just here to ask if I have seen any suspicious people recently." ”

"Suspicious person, what do you mean?" Boss Song frowned, "Someone has committed another crime?" ”

"Not to that extent. Officer Zhang said with a smile, "I'm just here to ask casually, but the General Administration has no wanted warrants." ”

Boss Song spread his hands: "This is strange, no name, no surname, no photo, what is suspicious?

Officer Zhang scratched his head with some distress: "I have been a policeman for 20 years, and this is the first time I have encountered such a thing, and even our director is confused." However, this order was issued by Deputy Director Ma of the General Administration, and it is not good for us who are big soldiers not to see it, so we can only ask on the road when we get off work. If you come across anything suspicious, just tell me and I'll report it. ”

Pulling the corners of his mouth, Boss Song said, "I really haven't found this yet." ”

"So be it, based on the leader's ambiguous words, I didn't expect any clues. Officer Zhang waved his hand, turned around and walked out, "You're busy, I'm going home." ”

"Oh, Officer Zhang, walk slowly. ”

Boss Song watched Officer Zhang's figure disappear at the door, turned around and went around to the restaurant, and handed out the dishes to the guests and served them to the guests.

"Boss, the police officer came to check the room in broad daylight?"

"It's not about rounds, it's about finding someone. Boss Song said with a smile, "Who is in a hurry to check the room during the day, what can be found?"

"Hey, hey, it's not necessarily, now these policemen are very smart, and they can catch a lot of twisting people..."

Boss Song was noncommittal: "Eat slowly, I'm busy." ”

After that, Boss Song turned around and went back to the kitchen, took a small half of the two dishes from his lunch to the plate, and then put a big bowl of rice, put it in the tray and turned around to bring it out of the kitchen.

The young man who was stir-frying wiped his sweat and couldn't help but ask with curiosity on his face: "Boss, where did this tenant come from with such a big face?

"My relatives from my hometown, who don't have good legs, stayed with me for a few days. This kid didn't control the guy in his crotch, he slept with someone's wife, and that man was looking for him all over the world. Don't talk nonsense, you know?"

"That's a nuisance. The young man believed it and couldn't help nodding his head again and again, "Boss, don't worry, I'm tight-lipped." ”

"I know that you kid is clever, and I'll let you eat a chicken leg for lunch today. Boss Song smiled and went upstairs with the tray.

With the creak of the wooden staircase in disrepair, Boss Song went all the way up to the third floor, through the corridor, and came to the door of room 301.

According to the practice of the past few days, he put the tray at the door, and then raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Brother, it's time to eat." ”

After a while, a hoarse man's voice came from the room: "Put it at the door, thank you." ”

"Well, you eat slowly, I'll come back to get the bowl later. Boss Song responded, turned around and left along the corridor. He deliberately made the sound of going downstairs louder, then took off his shoes on the second floor, crept up again, leaning lightly against the wall at the corner of the stairs to eavesdrop.

After a while, there was a creaking sound of the door opening at the end of the hallway, and it was clear that the guest in the room had already brought his lunch in. As if he had completed an important task today, Boss Song breathed a sigh of relief, and then went downstairs satisfied, put on his shoes and left.

Obviously, there is already a surveillance, and he can monitor this mysterious tenant in all directions, but Boss Song still likes this feeling of licking blood from the knife almost morbidly. He had been observing the mysterious man for days, witnessing the latter's wounds scab over before gradually recovering at an incredible rate. For Boss Song, all this seemed too incredible, and at the same time, it also aroused a stronger curiosity in his heart.

This mysterious tenant is like a poisonous snake in captivity in a cage by Boss Song, allowing him to enjoy it unscrupulously. But he also couldn't predict when the snake would emerge from its unobstructed cage and bite itself to death.

Regarding the fact that Officer Zhang came to inquire if he had found a suspicious person, Boss Song didn't pay attention to it at all. But two days later, Officer Zhang came again.

This time, he arrived at the small hotel in a police car at about three o'clock in the afternoon, accompanied by a young police officer on duty, his face was extremely solemn, far less relaxed than the last time.

Boss Song is a veteran and good at observing words and feelings, and even when he sees the seriousness of the matter: "Officer Zhang, there is another big case in the jurisdiction?"

Officer Zhang stood in front of the counter and shook his head with a little anxiety: "No, remember the last time I came to you to ask about something?"

Before Boss Song could nod, Officer Zhang had already said to himself: "It's still that matter, the leaders above take this matter very seriously, and have repeatedly emphasized that it must be strictly investigated. ”

Boss Song said: "Didn't you say it too, there is no way to investigate this at all." ”

"This time there is new news. Officer Zhang turned his head to look at the young officer beside him, "Tell me." ”

The young police officer nodded, cleared his throat and said, "The suspect is a man, about twenty-five years old, one meter seven or eight tall, and a thin body. He was seriously injured, and... Disfigured. ”

Boss Song was shocked, and he couldn't help but have a sudden change in his face, and took half a step back.

Officer Zhang hurriedly asked, "Do you have an impression?"

Boss Song took a deep breath, and his face returned to the same as before: "No." ”

"No?" Officer Zhang looked up and down at the innkeeper opposite, with a bit of inquiry, "I don't have the impression that why do you react so much?"

Boss Song laughed dryly: "I heard you describe it so specifically this time, and I'm a little worried that it's a big case." ”

"It must be a big case, but we don't get the specific situation of this case now, it should be that the news was secretly blocked by means above. Officer Zhang sighed and knocked on the counter with his fist, "Old Song, if you have a clue, you must tell me." ”

Boss Song nodded: "Definitely, if this person really appears in front of me, I don't have the courage not to report it." But Officer Zhang, at least tell me what happened to this kid, right?"

Officer Zhang leaned towards Boss Song, looking embarrassed: "I'll tell you the truth, we didn't get the specific situation, we didn't even listen to the rumors." ”

"What does that mean?"

"That means we don't even know why we're looking for this kid. Officer Zhang took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and Boss Song hurriedly picked up the lighter to help him light the cigarette.

Taking a deep puff of his cigarette, Officer Zhang continued: "The Western District Bureau found a clue that a young man was doing trouble with his girlfriend in the car in the small park in the middle of the night and saw him on the road. Can you imagine a strange face with blurred flesh and blood, covered in blood, just silently passing by the side of the car..."

"Officer Zhang, you... You're not telling ghost stories, are you? Boss Song's cheeks were blue and he swallowed hard.

His behavior was mistaken by Officer Zhang for fear, so he raised his eyebrows lightly and patted Boss Song on the shoulder: "This is also the words of the little couple, it was too dark at that time, and it is estimated that there are still many exaggerated elements." However, according to their accounts, the kid pulled a thick blanket that they had forgotten to take back at the convenience store next to the small park, wrapped it around his body, and came to our precinct. ”

"Deputy Director Ma was very angry when he heard the news and scolded us for being rice buckets and waste. He gave death orders to all the institutes in the area, and if no one could be found within three days, the directors of each institute would go home and pick up the children. Our director didn't take it seriously, and now he can't sit still. For most of the day, almost the entire office was busy with this matter. ”

After saying this, Officer Zhang said meaningfully: "I still have to go to another house, if you have news, report the case immediately, do you know? This person is very dangerous, even if we find him, we will not dare to act rashly." ”

"Understood, understood. Boss Song nodded again and again, pretending to casually stretch out his hand to wipe the cold sweat on his forehead.

"Alas. Officer Zhang sighed heavily, beckoned to the young officer, and the two of them walked out the door, still chattering and complaining, "My son will have a graduation parent-teacher conference tomorrow, and in the current situation, he has to work overtime again..."

Boss Song had the heart to scream, but he hesitated for a moment, and his palm on the counter tightened, and he still couldn't speak.

After walking out of the small hotel, the young police officer said in a low voice: "Master, I think there is something wrong with this Boss Song, his reaction just now is too suspicious." ”

Officer Zhang nodded: "I understand Lao Song, he is timid, so he will do something to steal chickens and dogs, and he will not be involved in this case." If he really ran into that kid, he would have been so frightened that he would have been too busy to report the crime. In my estimation, he's going to start doing that kind of thing again. ”
