This time, Hong Jian rushed to the manuscript, and the hotel he chose was in the most prosperous part of the city, and Hong Jian said with a smile that this is called "hidden in the city". In fact, it was true that no one had bothered them for a few days, which made Qi Yun have to admire Hong Jian's clever calculations.

Although Hong Jian's "masterpiece" was not completed overnight, it was finally completed smoothly. After checking that it was correct, the two of them went to a small Internet café in the county town with a USB flash drive that copied the manuscript to send an email to the editor-in-chief Hong Jian. Seeing the results of his busy work for a long time, turned into an email of more than 10,000 words, and flew to the mailbox in Beijing with a "swoop", Hong Jian's heart finally relaxed, and he rubbed his face that had been tense because he was tired and nervous because of the computer screen. And Qi Yun's heart is full of mixed feelings.

Coming out of the small Internet café, Qi Yun asked: Can we check out of the suffocating little hotel now?

Hong Jian smiled and nodded. The sun was exceptionally good that day, and they walked back to the small hotel. Hong Jian was relaxed and talked a lot more than usual along the way. He told Qi Yun: When his article is published, it is estimated that it will cause an uproar, at least their province will not be calm, and many things will have to be re-investigated and thoroughly investigated.

"But this is definitely a good thing for Uncle Qi. I estimate that this time, even if Uncle Qi can't completely break away from it, at least there is no need to carry the black cauldron that didn't belong to him. ”

"How can you be sure that my dad is carrying a black cauldron that doesn't belong to him?" Qi Yun obviously already had a number in his heart, but he just wanted to confirm it for himself again through the mouth of the Hong Arrow.

"In fact, a long time ago, my dad once muttered to me: he remembered that someone stabbed the province in the forced demolition of L County, and Uncle Qi's reaction at that time was to be angry, and ordered the parties to be held accountable quickly - my dad said that he saw that Uncle Qi was so serious that he thought that the matter must have been properly dealt with immediately, but he didn't expect that three years later, this matter was turned over again, and it was not solved from beginning to end - my dad was also shocked to learn about this situation after taking over the case."

It was the first time Qi Yun heard Hong Jian talk about this matter, and sighed softly: "It seems that Uncle Hong also thinks that my father's case has another hidden secret. ”

"My dad also found all kinds of reasons to delay the closure of the case as much as possible. He even ignored the principle that our two families used to be very close and should be avoided according to organizational conventions, and went to talk to Uncle Qi several times by himself......"

"But my dad just won't say anything?"

There was a sour taste in Qi Yun's voice. The father and daughter who were once the closest are now separated by heaven and earth, and what hurts her the most is that she doesn't even know who her father is protecting?

"Yes. Uncle Qi was very cautious, although he did not take the initiative to bear all the charges, but he was extremely careful not to implicate anyone and not reveal any details related to the case...... It's a lot harder than squeezing toothpaste. Our task force found out through other channels, and the evidence was conclusive, but it was difficult for him to say anything, and he didn't even nod or shake his head...... It is precisely because of the non-cooperation of the parties that the case has progressed quite slowly. Even if he has the heart to protect him, Uncle Qi has not suffered less than a year in the past year. ”

Qi Yun slowly chewed Hong Jian's words in his heart. The two were speechless for a moment, walking side by side in silence, only listening to the sound of the wind blowing in their ears.

Hong Jian's phone rang unexpectedly. He glanced at the caller number and picked it up,

"Brother Fan, are you looking for me...... Yes? What did you say? ”

From Hong Jian's shocked expression after answering the phone, Qi Yun also sniffed out some clues that something was wrong, and she stared nervously at Hong Jian's changing expression.

"You say, they found you, who are they? …… I know it's from the county, and I'm asking: What does it look like? …… It's okay, it's okay, if you can't tell, just the next time you see them in person or a photo, it's best to help us identify them...... And you said you wouldn't tell them where we were, and they locked you up...... What the? Closed for two days and two nights, without food, and with a lamp to bake and not let sleep ......******! What beasts these people are! ”

Needless to say, Qi Yun had already heard from these fragmented words that Brother Fan, a villager in Chenmei Village, had called to tell them: probably someone in the "county" found Brother Fan and asked him about the whereabouts of Hong Jian and Qi Yun.

Judging from the fact that they have not been harassed in the past few days, Brother Fan has not even told each other their mobile phone numbers, this big brother looks cowardly, but in fact he is very backbone and principled. Thinking of his innocent suffering, Qi Yun felt very sad in his heart, and cursed fiercely.

"Okay, okay, I got it...... Rest assured, we will leave as soon as possible...... Well, you should also find a safe place to hide. ”

With great patience, Hong Jian responded to Brother Fan's worries and kindness. After hanging up the phone, he patted Qi Yun on the shoulder.

"Hey! It seems that those guys are a little smarter than I thought, and our whereabouts have been revealed! ”

"So what should we do? Oh, and get out of here as soon as possible, of course...... But will there be any danger on the road? Qi Yun couldn't help but feel a little worried, she glanced at Hong Jian, "Also, what should Brother Fan do?" Did he escape on his own, and should we take him back to the city with us? ”

"It's not. It was those people who didn't know what news they got this morning, so they let Brother Fan go. Hong Jian replied: "So, Brother Fan is not in danger for the time being. And I guess they let him go because they had already touched the hotel we were staying in......"

"How is that possible?" Qi Yun exclaimed: "In the past few days, when you write, I have carefully observed the surrounding crowd, and I have not found anyone with suspicious actions at all......"

Qi Yun shuddered at the "professionalism" of his opponent, and by the way realized something that was more dangerous than shaving his head:

"Wow! It's good that we came out early this morning to send an email, otherwise, it would be ...... now."

"That's right, we can't go back to the hotel, the luggage, those things outside the body, just leave it to fate," Hong Jian picked up her words, "What we have to do now is to hire a car, pull us to the neighboring county first, and then try to return to S city from the long-distance bus station in the neighboring county." ”

He took out his wallet from his body, flipped through it, and raised it happily at Qi Yun:

"It's fine! The money is all on the body. ”

"Still, ...... your lifeline photographic equipment," Qi Yun cautiously reminded him. On weekdays, he values those things more than his life.

"Well, it shouldn't be useful for them to ask for those things, and the hotel should keep them for me...... Right? Hong Jian really showed a face full of reluctance and chagrin, but he still waved his hand refreshingly,

"If you really lose it, forget it, if the old doesn't go, the new won't come!"

While the two were talking, they turned into a small grocery store on the side of the road, Qi Yun picked up fast food such as biscuits and ham sausages on the shelf, and bought a small woven bag to put all these dry foods in it. They are about to travel long distances, and proper food supplies are very important.

Just as Qi Yun was piling up the things he had picked up in front of the owner of the grocery store and preparing to pay, a few people who looked like idle young people suddenly broke into the shop. These young men with dyed hair and all kinds of strange tattoos and piercings brought in a rather strong and aggressive atmosphere, led by a tiger with a bear's waist, lazily leaning on the door frame of the small shop, and the already low door of the small shop was half covered in an instant.

"Brother, come in if you want to pick anything, others won't be able to enter if you block the door."

The shopkeeper must have secretly blamed those people for blocking his business, but he couldn't afford to provoke these people, so he had to say good things with a smile.

"Okay, I'll come in now."

The man took a few steps forward with a big grin, and crashed straight into Qi Yun, who was knocked by him and scattered the food he picked up.

Hong Jian supported Qi Yun in a timely manner, he didn't want to do much, but he still couldn't hold back, and said lightly:

"Brother, walk and look at it."

Qi Yun only felt that half of his shoulders were sore and heavy, but he forced himself to endure it, lowered his head to pick up the food, and put it into the bag one by one.

Qi Yun's hand picked up a pack of soda biscuits, but the bag of biscuits was trampled on by a big foot wearing military leather shoes, and the sound of biscuits clattering and shattering bones reached Qi Yun's ears, and she began to realize that the origin of these people may not be so simple.

She has experienced a lot of things for a while, so she is quite calm at the moment, straightens up and pats the soil on her hands, and stands side by side with Hong Jian, looking directly at these uninvited guests who intend to provoke.

The tall man who was reminded by Hong Jian to "walk and look a little bit" had a contemptuous smile on the corner of his mouth, shook his arms and approached Hong Jian, and hit Hong Jian's shoulder hard.

Of course, Hong Jian didn't back down, the two just bumped into each other like this, and there was a "bang", Qi Yun felt pain just by hearing the sound, but they both just shook their bodies slightly and stopped.

"Take it out!"

The man whispered. Qi Yun's heart was cold, what did these people want Hong Arrow to come up with? Is it a manuscript? However, the manuscript has already been sent. So, what will these people do to them?

The man's hand stretched out to Hong Jian's chest as he spoke, accompanied by a sharp voice:

"Hand over your wallet!"

The owner of the small shop who was sifting chaff on the side finally thought he had heard some clues, and hurriedly smiled:

"Brother, can you take a few steps out of the thief? Our small shop is narrow and can't stand everyone's toss...... Ay! Today's young people are also right, they have hands and feet, and they look good at their bodies, but they can't do anything ......"

The shopkeeper's muttering to himself did not have the effect he had come up with, but instead reminded these people that the man who was confronting Hong Jian was snorting at a slightly smaller guy beside him:

"Oh, go lock the door of the store, close the door to catch the thief."

With a loud bang, the iron door used to prevent theft in the small shop was completely pulled from the inside, and the light of the small shop suddenly became more dim from dim to dim, and the low-wattage light bulb hanging from a wire above the head of the lonely man was crumbling. Although he knew that the situation in front of him was tense and not good, but at a glance at the bitter gourd face of the shopkeeper who wanted to cry without tears, Qi Yun still had a funny feeling that he wanted to laugh.

Hong Jian secretly clenched his fists, and Qi Yun saw that the bone knot on the back of his hand bulged clearly, and there was a cold smile on his face:

"Who do you say is the thief?"

The man nodded, and said slowly:

"Whether it's a thief or not, you have to search your body to find out."

Seeing that the other party was gearing up, and even Hong Jian was ready to make a move, Qi Yun suddenly shouted:

"Wait!"

With this shout, she mustered up her courage and stood between the two big men with swords and crossbows without fear of death.

The other party looked at Qi Yun with a cat-and-mouse look, and the eyes thrown by Hong Arrow were extremely strange. Qi Yun secretly apologized to Hong Jian in his heart - it's really not that I don't believe in your underworld sixth stage, but the other party is obviously not a good guy, in this case, it is naturally better to outwit than to be outwit.

"Ladies and gentlemen...... Heroic ......" Qi Yun was anxious to speak, "Things are already like this, it's better to open the skylight and say something, who are we and who are you, why everyone gathered here, we all know each other...... Although there are many of you now, if we have something good and two short, not only will it not be good for the matter, but it will make it bigger......"

"You mean you want to talk about it now?" The man led by the other party thought about it and shook his head slowly:

"It's not that I don't believe you, but if you really have the sincerity to talk, then I'm afraid we haven't met today......"

"It's impossible to shake hands and make peace," Qi Yun said in a heartfelt manner, "but why do you bother to make things worse?" Let me guess...... Are you ordered to kill us? I don't think so...... At most, they just arrested us, and then the two sides sat down to negotiate terms......"

"It's none of my business whether I talk to you or not," the man said lightly, "I really didn't get the order to kill you...... I mean: if you go back with us on your own initiative, and nothing else happens. “

"Isn't it just going with you? What's not to do," Qi Yun looked very talkative, "but you just take me away, this person, you let him go back—or, who do you talk to?" “

"Nonsense!" Hong Jian was so angry that the green tendons on his forehead jumped, "You are a little clerk of the Cultural Bureau, you can't fight this matter, what are people leaving you for?" If you want to talk, just let your boss show up, talk now! Or detain me, at least they can talk to my dad about the conditions. “

"You really don't have to be humble about this," the man bared his teeth coldly, "Since everyone is a grasshopper tied to a thread, of course no one can escape, since they are all people who understand...... Let's go together. “

These people opened the door of the small shop, stretched out their heads to look for a while, and then pretended to be careless, but in fact they were tightly guarded, holding Hong Jian and Qi Yun in front and back, and took them to an Iveco car parked in front of the small shop.

Judging from the posture and swiftness of these people taking them to the car, these people are not ordinary thugs who have experienced before, but at least people who have undergone professional military and police training, the more Qi Yun thinks about it, the more frightened she feels, fortunately she stopped Hong Jian and them from doing it with real knives just now.

In the last step, she barely made the right bet. But if you ask her what to do next, I'm sorry, I don't know.
