The person in front looked back and saw that Chu Tianqi had already caught up, so he ran desperately, looking at the road as he ran.

In terms of speed on his feet and kung fu in his hands, Chu Tianqi is confident that he can completely catch the other party. But seeing that the other party had the intention of crossing the road, I couldn't help but worry, worried that the other party would be hit by a vehicle, and that the other party would get rid of him because of this. So, he shouted from behind: "Stop, or I'll call the police, can you still run?" ”

Hearing the shouts from behind, the person in front hesitated slightly, slowed down unconsciously, and then quickly rushed to the zebra crossing. Although he accelerated again, the slowness just now had already shortened the distance between the two of them. Listening to the sound of approaching footsteps behind him, he immediately rushed diagonally towards the highway desperately.

It was too late, it was too fast, and at the moment when the man's left foot stepped on the edge of the sidewalk, and his right foot was already rising, he suddenly felt a tightness on his neck, and a strong force grabbed his body leaning forward, and then involuntarily fell backwards.

Chu Tianqi grabbed the clothes on the other party's back with his right hand, and pressed it into his arms, and then his left arm stuck on the opponent's neck.

The other party's whole body was weak for a moment, his face was flushed, and he begged for mercy: "Director Chu, tap, tap, suffocate me." ”

"Hu San, if you run, aren't you afraid that the car will hit you?" Chu Tianqi dragged the other party towards the inside of the sidewalk.

The person who was arrested was Hu San, Huang Jingzu's brother-in-law who he hadn't seen for many days. Hu San was originally a "male duck voice", but now he is even more dumb, but he still keeps begging for mercy: "Chu Bureau, there is something to say, something to say." ”

"Okay. Chu Tianqi said, taking his left arm away and grabbing the other party's shoulder with both hands instead, "Let's talk first, why are you running?"

Moving his neck slightly, Hu San said: "I, I'm not afraid of ......" Speaking of this, he looked left and right, "Chu Bureau, people are watching, let's change places, okay?"

Chu Tianqi looked around for a while, and indeed many people looked at them, so he said, "Where to change places?"

Hu San pointed to the other side with his hand: "How about going to that restaurant?" ”

"Restaurant, restaurant. Chu Tianqi said, pinching the opponent's wrist with his right hand instead, and still grabbing the opponent's shoulder with his left hand, "Don't play tricks on you kid." After speaking, he pushed the other party towards the zebra crossing.

Hu San did not resist, nodded again and again and said "yes", and crossed the road from the zebra crossing very cooperatively.

The restaurant is located next to the train station, and after crossing the street, Chu Tianqi first went to the ticket gate to get the reserved ticket, and then the two walked into the restaurant together, and Chu Tianqi also let go of Hu San in time.

Due to the structure, the inside of the restaurant is in the shape of a long and narrow strip. Although it is located near the train station, it is not a punctual meal now, and there are few customers inside. The two directly chose a position in the northeast corner, which was far from the door, far from the counter, and there was a small speaker playing music overhead, which was relatively convenient to speak.

After ordering the meal, Hu San paid first, but Chu Tianqi didn't insist.

Seeing that the waiter had already walked away, Chu Tianqi asked, "Hu San, why are you running?"

Hu San replied: "An instinct." ”

"Instinct?" Chu Tianqi asked rhetorically, "What do you mean?"

"You're a ...... Police chief, I'm a gangster, of course I'm going to run when I see you. Hu San explained his instinctive reaction.

Chu Tianqi smiled: "No, if there is no ghost in your heart, you can run?" How did you know my identity?"

"It's really an instinctive reaction. After emphasizing it again, Hu San said, "During the May Day holiday last year, I was caught by you in the provincial capital, and you forced me to admit that I knew Zhao Liu, and insisted that I hired Zhao Liu to assassinate you." Although I didn't do this, in order to dispel your suspicions, I told me about my whereabouts in those days and about my role as an intermediary in the case of Qiao Fengnian's beating. At the time, I didn't realize that you were making a fuss, and I just wanted to clear my name of hiring a murderer, but instead I said what you wanted to know.

Soon, the four direct murderers in the case of Qiao Fengnian being beaten were arrested, first two donkeys, three cows, and a few days later, four dogs and five camels. According to the confession of the five camels, the police followed the vine and caught the real boss Zou Bin. That's it, the case was solved, and I was glad to run away at the time. Unexpectedly, Ah Biao, who helped me hire two donkeys and others, suddenly called me, saying that Zou Bin suspected that someone had leaked secrets, and that I and the county public security chief were fellow villagers. At that time, I learned that you were the director of the Xuyuan County Public Security Bureau, not the director of the Yuchi County Development Zone as I thought.

Of course, I flatly denied that I had met you, let alone revealed the hiding place of Erdonkey and others, but I didn't dare to stay in Dingye City, for fear that they would catch my real handle and clean me up. So, I left Hexi Province and went to other places, but I never dared to return to Hexi, let alone Dingye City. It is even more difficult to mix in a place where you are not familiar with life, and sometimes even eating becomes a problem. This Chinese New Year is even poorer and pitiful, so I dared to ask Huang Jingzu for money in Yuchi County, but I didn't see him yet, but I met you first. ”

"Look, I'll just say you have a ghost in your heart. What kind of instinct are you? It's clear that you, the fish that slipped through the net, are afraid that the police will catch you, so you will run away with your life. Speaking of this, Chu Tianqi stopped, because the waiter had already come over with a tray.

After the waiter walked away, Hu San said: "Chu Bureau, it was I who provided you with the key news that Qiao Fengnian's case was successfully solved, and I am also a meritorious person." I don't dare to ask for credit, but this can also be done to offset my small mistakes, right?"

Chu Tianqi smiled contemptuously: "Little mistake? I almost died, and Qiao Fengnian's memory has not fully recovered until now, as an important middleman, is this a small mistake?" After speaking, he no longer looked at the other party, but started eating. When I came out of my house today, I just ate a bowl of old tofu in Yuchi County at nine o'clock in the morning, and now I am hungry and have a heart, and eating first is the last word.

Just as he was about to continue to argue, seeing that the other party was eating, Hu San also launched an attack on the food on the table.

It seems that the position of sitting today is too right, not only can others not hear the conversation between the two, but others can't hear the sound of eating. Otherwise, the movement of the two eating is too loud and too unsightly.

After more than twenty minutes, the assault on the meal ended. Chu Tianqi put down his chopsticks, raised his head, and said, "Hu San, I let you slip through the net last time, so this time I will go with me and go to the bureau to make it clear." ”

The color on Hu San's face changed slightly: "Director Chu, I heard that the case has been closed, and we are fellow countrymen, so you can be accommodating." ”

"Accommodating? How accommodating? You are an important suspect in this case. As the director of the county bureau, if I let you go just because I am a fellow countryman with you, wouldn't it be a law enforcement violation?" Chu Tianqi's expression suddenly became very serious, "In this way, if you go back with me, it will be dealt with as if you surrendered." To the extent permitted by the law, we will try our best to give you a lenient sentence, and then the court will give you a sentence of six months for the first half of the year, at most no more than two years. How?"

Hu San's face suddenly turned bitter: "Director Chu, it's not a place for people to go, it's like a year, you might as well spare me." ”

"Why? With that, Chu Tianqi went to grab the other party's arm.

"Wait, wait. Hu San hurriedly dodged, "If I make another meritorious service, can I avoid prison?"

"Meritorious?" After the rhetorical question, Chu Tianqi stopped talking.

Seeing that the other party didn't promise himself, he didn't catch himself for the time being. Hu San hesitated for a moment, looked around, then turned his head over, almost pressed his ear to the other party's ear, and whispered. His voice was low enough that if you didn't listen carefully, you wouldn't be able to hear it at all.

After a while, Hu San stopped, sat up straight, and said, "Chu Bureau, am I considered meritorious?"

Chu Tianqi did not answer the other party's question, but suddenly covered his stomach with a painful expression on his face: "The food is not suitable, and the stomach is uncomfortable." With that, he stood up and walked to the bathroom. After taking a few steps, he turned back and said, "Look at things with me, don't sneak away." With that, he walked quickly into the bathroom.

About ten minutes later, Chu Tianqi walked out of the bathroom.

In the northeast corner of the restaurant, how could there be Hu San? Only the big bag containing things was still quietly placed on the table. Chu Tianqi walked over, opened the big bag and took a look, then closed the zipper, put it in his hand, and walked out of the restaurant.

……

At seven o'clock in the evening, Chu Tianqi got on the train to Xuyuan County, which was still the lower berth of the sleeper.

Lying on the bunk, Chu Tianqi thought about things.

It has been nearly two weeks since I returned home on the 27th of the lunar month. During this time, Chu Tianqi had to call almost every day to inquire about the affairs of the unit. Fortunately, in the past two weeks, there have been no accidents in the bureau and Xuyuan County, and it has been peaceful, but he is worried every day.

In the past few days when he went home, Chu Tianqi felt the most strong family affection. Family affection does not necessarily need to be expressed, but each of us can feel it deeply.

The taste of the New Year is getting weaker and lighter, which is mainly due to the fact that the people's living standards and all aspects have improved too much, and the material and culture that can only be enjoyed during the New Year in the past can often be enjoyed in daily life now. The era of the lack of the most expensive is getting farther and farther away.

In the past year, I have been busy with work every day, and there are often a lot of tricky things to deal with, and sometimes it is really tiring. Therefore, the most important thing in the brain is work, and other things are rarely considered, and there is no time at all, and many times there is no mood for it. Even the thoughts of Ning Junqi are mostly silently placed in their hearts.

In the past few days of the Chinese New Year, he has temporarily put down his work, and Chu Tianqi can't help but think of the person who was hiding in his heart after drinking a little wine.

Missing, can only be missing. For the sake of the agreement with Li Weimin, Chu Tianqi did not talk to Ning Junqi, and it is estimated that even if she called, Ning Junqi would not answer, because she had to abide by this agreement. If you can't talk, you don't dare to expect to meet. Today, the heavens have created a perfect opportunity to meet, but it is only a chance, an opportunity that is quickly destroyed by a convoy of military vehicles.

However, although he didn't meet his lover, he met Hu San because of that tracking, and listened to Hu San talk about something that might be useful to him. Maybe seeing Ning Junqi's figure today is just to lead to a meeting with Hu San, which seems to have been arranged in the dark.
