Chapter 36: Making Trouble
Jinci Street in the north of the city, here is also one of the most prosperous blocks in the old town of Taiyuan, people come and go, the river is endless, the street extends to the east and west, the houses are lined up one after another, the signboards are lined up, teahouses, taverns, pawnshops, workshops, foot shops, butcher shops, etc., as well as all kinds of small vendors, all the way to the end of the street.
Tian Wenhui walked out of a barber shop, raised her hand to comb her freshly combed hair, and was in a better mood.
Now the situation is turbulent, even in Taiyuan City, the security situation is not good, so she usually lives in a simple place, rarely stays outside, occasionally goes out to let off steam, and goes home as soon as possible.
At this time, there were many pedestrians on the street, she looked left and right, and found no rickshaw, slightly disappointed, but fortunately, the residence was not far from here, so she simply walked home.
Walking along the shady sections of the houses on both sides, but at this moment, there was a noisy sound behind him, and some people shouted repeatedly: "Catch the thief!" Catch him ......"
When she heard the sound and looked back, she saw a strong man rushing out of the crowd, this person was wearing a tattered old jacket and trousers, his face was covered with black mud, he couldn't see his face clearly, he was holding a leather bag in his hand, and he was running quickly on the street, presumably the so-called thief.
Behind him, three or five men in suits were in hot pursuit, shouting and scolding loudly.
The people around are watching, the strong man is a homeless person at a glance, the situation in Shanxi at this time is turbulent, the people are displaced, there are many people who have lost their homes poured into Taiyuan, they have few means of survival, the situation is difficult, in order to survive, many people have become beggars, thieves, like this kind of thing in front of them is often staged in Taiyuan City.
At this time, he saw that the strong man's footsteps were fast, and his figure was walking quickly through the flow of people, but there were too many people on the street, which still slowed down his speed.
Seeing that the pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer, the strong man was in a hurry, and simply rushed with brute force, and his strength was heavy, knocking the surrounding pedestrians to the ground, and the crowd suddenly let out a burst of scolding and shouting.
But the front was still crowded, and the few people chasing behind him, taking advantage of the gap he had broken through, were getting closer and closer, the strong man glanced left and right, turned around and rushed to the shop on the side of the road, ran along the wall, and rushed in the direction of Tian Wenhui when he saw it.
Tian Wenhui was originally far away, and she was still watching the excitement, but she didn't expect that in a blink of an eye, the thief rushed to the front of her in a panic, she was so frightened that she was at a loss, and she didn't know how to dodge.
Before she could react, the strong man hit Tian Wenhui's body straight, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, the thief's left elbow was horizontal, and it hit Tian Wenhui's left rib hard.
Tian Wenhui suddenly felt a tightness in her chest, and she didn't have time to react, and was knocked to the ground by this strong man, but the strong man didn't stop, and stepped directly over her body, and in a panic, Tian Wenhui's left calf was stepped on by the strong man, and the bones made a crisp sound.
"Oops!" Tian Wenhui only felt that her calf was in sharp pain, and the cold sweat all over her body suddenly stimulated, and she couldn't help but let out a rapid cry of pain.
The people around him let out a burst of exclamations and rushed over, but the strong man's movements were fast, knocking down several pedestrians who were trying to stop him one after another, and he drilled into a fork in the alley, and disappeared in an instant.
Tian Wenhui had fallen to the ground at this time, and she was in pain, so she couldn't help but open her mouth and shout for help, and the people around her saw that a weak woman was injured, and they all rushed forward to help, and some well-wishers called a rickshaw to send her to the nearby Bo'ai Hospital for treatment.
Two hours later, on a hospital bed in the consultation room of Bo'ai Hospital, Tian Wenhui, who had just completed the preliminary examination, frowned, feeling that every inch of the bones in her body was squeezed and shattered.
At this time, a female nurse dressed in white walked in and asked softly, "Miss Tian, your current physical condition is very bad and you need to be hospitalized for a period of time." ”
"Hospitalized? So serious? Tian Wenhui couldn't help but look embarrassed.
The female nurse nodded and patiently explained: "Miss Tian, your ribs and leg bones have different degrees of fractures, and the leg bones are okay, but the injured part of the ribs needs to be further examined, the situation is more serious, not only can you not move now, but you also need someone to take care of you, so you had better inform your family as soon as possible." ”
"Family?"
Tian Wenhui couldn't help but be stunned, she was alone in Taiyuan, and she usually lived in a simple place, deliberately having little contact with others, but she didn't even have familiar friends and neighbors?
Is it necessary to inform him?
However, he once made a point of explaining that his name should not be mentioned in front of anyone, especially in the recent period, he must be very careful, there are no important things, and they cannot meet easily.
Tian Wenhui was originally a foreigner, and fled to Taiyuan with her family for a few years, but a sudden change caused the family to be ruined, leaving only Tian Wenhui alone, fortunately at a critical juncture, she was rescued by Lu Mingzhi, otherwise she would have been sold to traffickers at this time, and the consequences can be imagined.
Since then, Tian Wenhui has followed Lu Mingzhi, and the two of them have warmed each other in troubled times, and they can be regarded as a loving couple.
However, Lu Mingzhi considered that his identity was special, and there were crises everywhere around him, in order to protect his lover and not want others to know his weakness, he never dared to expose the relationship between the two people, so he specially arranged another residence to settle Tian Wenhui, and Tian Wenhui's side, for the sake of secrecy, even the servants did not dare to invite.
Because Lu Mingzhi was careful and cautious and carefully maintained, even his colleagues at the intelligence station did not know about Tian Wenhui's existence, and it was precisely because of this that when Lu Mingzhi was arrested by the special high school, Tian Wenhui was not implicated and survived the catastrophe peacefully.
Later, Lu Mingzhi defected to the enemy and was released by the special high school, Lu Mingzhi did not dare to let others know his secrets, whether it was the Japanese or the military intelligence station, it was possible to make a fuss about Tian Wenhui, so he specially told Tian Wenhui that in the near future, they should not meet each other for the time being, and avoid the limelight.
So when Tian Wenhui heard the words of the female nurse, she was really in a dilemma, and she was at a loss, her hesitant expression made the female nurse seem to understand something, so she comforted in a low voice: "If there is no family to accompany us, we can provide professional care, but this requires a certain amount of extra payment." ”
Tian Wenhui thought about it, so she had to nod her head and agree, it was difficult for her to even move now, and it was really not possible to have no one to help take care of her, so she finally decided to inform Lu Mingzhi.
Besides, as one of the largest hospitals in Taiyuan, Bo'ai Hospital has always charged a lot of money, and she didn't bring much money when she went out, so now she has to send Lu Mingzhi over to pay for the medical expenses, so she said: "I can only trouble you, but I don't have much money on me now, please help me make a phone call and ask someone to send some money over." ”
After speaking, she reported a phone number to the female nurse and told again: "This is a distant cousin of mine, and I don't usually have any contact, you can call him and ask him to find a way to send the money." ”
The female nurse nodded in agreement and turned to leave.
In the treatment building of Bo'ai Hospital, Xu Chengyan has changed back into a suit, wearing a top hat, the popular windproof tweed coat, an extra pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, plus two small mustaches, and a newspaper in his hand, leaning against the wall of the corridor, staring at Tian Wenhui's ward from afar.
Tian Wenhui's injury, of course, was arranged by him, and after getting rid of the pursuers, he followed him to Bo'ai Hospital to observe Tian Wenhui's situation at close range.
After a while, he saw a female nurse walking out of Tian Wenhui's ward, he hurriedly leaned to the side, unfolded the newspaper to cover his face, leaned against the wall, and waited for the female nurse to walk by, then took the newspaper and followed behind him unhurriedly.
The female nurse quickly came to the reception desk in the hall, picked up the phone on the table and dialed it, and soon the phone was connected, and the female nurse asked, "Is it Mr. Lu?" ”
The other party pondered for a moment and quickly gave an affirmative answer.
The female nurse briefly described Tian Wenhui's situation, and finally said: "Your cousin Ms. Tian is seriously injured and now it is difficult to get up and down, if it is convenient for you, please come to the hospital as soon as possible to take care of her." ”
But after she finished speaking, she didn't get a response from the other party for a long time, and finally had to shake her head and hang up the phone.
And now Xu Chengyan, who was not far behind her, heard her conversation clearly, knowing that this was informing Lu Mingzhi, he nodded secretly, and things really went according to the script he designed.
Next, it depends on whether Lu Mingzhi will come to see Gu Tian Wenhui, as long as he dares to show up, it will be a good opportunity to start.
In the office of the Criminal Investigation Department of the police station, Lu Mingzhi slowly put down the phone, his eyes full of anxiety.
Tian Wenhui was injured, although he was very anxious in his heart, but he still didn't dare to determine the information on the phone, he was now suspicious of dark ghosts, and always felt that there were people watching around him, maybe the two poisonous snakes were hidden in the dark, waiting for themselves to reveal their flaws, and they would pounce on them at any time and bite a fatal bite, and they would never dare to have the slightest carelessness.
Thinking of this, he immediately called his confidant Deng Hui in and ordered in a low voice: "You go and do something now." ”
"What's the matter?"
"You go to the Public Security Department to ask, at about 11 o'clock this morning, in the area of Jinci Street, there was a robbery, if so, you go and ask about the specific situation, come back and report to me."
Deng Hui looked at Lu Mingzhi with some doubts, and asked in his mouth: "Just ask, or ......?"
"Just ask!" Lu Mingzhi nodded and said, then leaned forward, and his voice was very low, "Ask about the situation of the subject, and ......, in short, the more detailed the situation, the better, but don't be too deliberate." ”
"Understood, I'll go!"
Seeing Lu Mingzhi spitting and spitting, wanting to speak and stopping, Deng Hui knew that he couldn't ask more, so he immediately nodded and took the order, turned around and retreated.
As soon as Deng Hui went out, Lu Mingzhi got up and walked around the house, his mind was confused, he really wanted to go to Bo'ai Hospital to visit Tian Wenhui immediately, but he was afraid that his reckless actions would expose Tian Wenhui's existence, even if Deng Hui and others were his confidants, but people's hearts were separated from their stomachs, and the world was afraid of what happened, who could say these things accurately, once others knew the relationship between Tian Wenhui and himself, then soon trouble would keep coming to the door.
Just when he was suffering from gains and losses, the phone on the desk rang again, Lu Mingzhi was shocked, relieved, came to the desk, and reached out to pick up the phone.
"Come to me right now!"
On the other side of the phone, it was the voice of the police chief, Niu Xingfa, in a very stern tone.
