Chapter 25 Squatting
"Why is it so long?" Yan Xue felt a little puzzled, after all, it was just to inform the other party that they had found Lin Zhen's possible place to stay, even if Kang Ge asked something else by the way, it didn't seem to take that long.
"As soon as Lin Zhen's parents heard that they had probably locked Lin Zhen's current location, they had to rush over to pick up Lin Zhen together, and it took me a long time to persuade them not to go with us, after all, it didn't make any sense to toss and delay a lot of time." Kang Ge shrugged his shoulders, a little helpless, "I can understand the anxious mood of being a parent, so I have to persuade slowly, the bad attitude is too tough, and the seriousness can't be too obvious, otherwise they will have to make trouble together if they are not at ease." ”
Alas, this mood is understandable, but it really doesn't make sense for them to go with them! If Lin Zhen felt that she felt safe enough with her parents, she would not rather let her parents fall asleep than run away. Yan Xue understood why Kang Ge dissuaded Lin Zhen's parents, "I even think there is a possibility, Lin Zhen may feel that she stays with her parents, not only will she not be protected, but she will also drag her parents into danger together." ”
"I don't rule out this possibility, after all, it's just a simple harassment, and she doesn't need to spend so much trouble looking for hotels to book rooms everywhere and be this kind of money-burning smoke bomb!" Kang Ge looked at the time, "Let's go, let's hurry up, what is it that makes Lin Zhen scared to this extent, let's communicate directly with her herself tomorrow morning!" ”
"Okay, then you should also go and change into thick clothes first, otherwise you won't be able to stand it in the second half of the night!" Yan Xue reminded Kang Ge.
Because of the nature of the work, almost everyone in the team had several clothes of different thicknesses stuffed in their cabinets throughout the year in case of emergency, and Kang Ge soon changed into a down jacket, and the two of them drove to Z City.
Yan Xue found that when Kang Ge went to Z City, he relied more on the guidance of navigation along the way, on the one hand, the road at night seemed to be more obvious than the daytime, and on the other hand, it was obviously not familiar enough.
She remembered that during the day, Lu Xiaodong mentioned a person named He Pei, saying that the other party had brought Kang Ge and Kang Ge's mother special snacks from Y City, and Kang Ge's reaction at that time seemed to be not very interested.
Thinking about it again, when they drove to Y City to find Lin Zhen, Kang Ge not only drove all the way from W City to be more familiar with the route, but even after entering the urban area of Y City, he didn't need to use navigation to find the hotel.
Yan Xue Xiangzi thought that the sense of direction was not bad, but because she had hardly been to Y City, she was a little confused when she got there, and she was full of enthusiasm to find Lin Zhen herself to confirm whether the deceased was her, and she didn't have the leisure to think about anything else, just that a mountain was higher than a mountain, and Kang Ge's ability to recognize the road was so good that it was terrifying.
Now watching Kang Ge drive to Z City according to the navigation prompts, Yan Xue suddenly realized that this person should have a little relationship with Y City, combined with his attitude towards the specialty snacks brought back by an acquaintance named He Pei, maybe this origin is not particularly pleasant, since this is the case, she decided not to see through it, not to mention it, not to ask.
It is said that the authorities are obsessed with bystanders, so many bystanders have become enthusiastic about giving guidance to the authorities, putting forward many suggestions of "you want to be like this" and "you don't want to be like that", and they also think that they are calm and objective.
Perhaps there is nothing wrong with their advice itself, and it may even be really correct and sensible, but it ignores one of the most important things, and that is the situation and feelings of the authorities themselves.
The inappropriate guidance sometimes brings secondary harm to the parties.
The journey from W City to Z City was about more than an hour, and the two of them arrived at Z City at nine o'clock, and according to the route planned by Yan Xue in advance, they began to investigate one hotel after another.
"I see you put the furthest one last?" After the first two were empty, when he was about to go to the third one, Kang Ge read the address and scanned the law of Yan Xue's ordering by the way.
"Well, I think Lin Zhen is just a person who is negligent in discipline and too free to be too high, and she may be a little willful, but she is not a particularly simple-minded girl, and it can be seen from the fact that after she met a person who looks very similar to herself, she can think of tempting the other party to exchange identities with herself at the first time when she feels that she is out of the center of the crisis.
Including that in order to be able to leave her parents' side, as soon as she was found in Y City, she immediately thought of using the reason of her sleep disorder to ask her parents to take her to the doctor, and finally used the medicine deceived by the doctor to put it in their coffee when her parents were unprepared - you just say this one action, which is itself full of caution! Coffee is bitter, and bitter coffee is mixed with bitter powder, and it is less easy to find when you drink it!
She is a person with a lot of ghosts, so such a person, when doing this trick of 'cunning rabbit three holes', booked a hotel that is far away from the city center and a little remote, and then densely booked a few hotels in a prosperous area near the city center, it seems that she is worried that people who can threaten her safety can find out her check-in information and then find the door, so she uses this method to mislead the other party and make the other party think that she will live in the remote one.
But in fact, as long as you think about it carefully, it is not difficult to find that the remote one is not large enough, I checked the relevant information of the store, there is no underground parking lot, so if you park the car there, it is too eye-catching and easy to be discovered.
If Lin Zhen were a little more thief and parked her father's car elsewhere, far away from her actual residential address, it would be difficult for the remote hotel to catch up with the quiet night like now, or in the early morning, to take a temporary taxi to escape.
On the contrary, it is the city center, the traffic flow is large, and the people are relatively dense, and the difficulty coefficient of finding people is a little higher, and it is really caught up, not to mention driving or taking a taxi to escape, even if it is to call the police to find a police station, it is much easier than the far hotel. ”
"So you put the hotel in the city center, there is a police station across the road in the backyard as the first stop?"
"Yes, but it seems that I overestimated Lin Zhen a little, she is indeed quite clever, but she has not thought it through so thoughtfully." Yan Xue sighed a little crying.
The two of them came to the third one, this time they finally did not run in vain, this hotel is the most beautiful among the relatively decorated, and the surrounding area is more prosperous, shopping malls, restaurants, cafes, everything is available, Lin Zhen picks and chooses, or chooses to let himself settle in the most comfortable one, it is really a person who can't wronged himself no matter what.
Kang Ge confirmed Lin Zhen's check-in information, and also confirmed that Lin Zhen did live here through the surveillance camera screens in the hotel lobby, elevator and floor, and went out after check-in, and came back from the outside after an hour, and never left his room after that.
After getting such accurate information, Kang Ge was relieved, and he learned about the situation of this hotel, which also has no underground parking lot, only an open-air parking lot in the yard in front of the door, and there is no back door, the main gate of the hotel is the only entrance, and there is no other way to leave secretly.
So Kang Ge parked the car in a parking space near the courtyard gate, where the view is better, whether it is the hotel gate or the courtyard gate, it is all in sight, if Lin Zhen comes out, there is no way to avoid them and leave quietly.
After parking the car, Kang Ge turned off the fire, and the two of them sat in the dark car, and now they are squatting here, not running out to camp, it is impossible to sit in the car and blow the air conditioner all the time for heating, after all, a car that has been parked there for a long time, the engine is roaring, but it is not going to drive away, which is somewhat attention-grabbing, which is a big taboo.
So both of them were wrapped in down jackets, and a few stickers were pasted inside the down jackets to warm the baby in advance.
In fact, squatting in such an environment is already very comfortable for Yan Xue, sitting in the car, no matter how cold it is, it is much better than the cold wind blowing outside, not to mention that at the door of the hotel, some urgent things are also convenient to deal with, and I don't know how many times better than the kind of squatting in the suburbs, in the wild, and in other people's communities.
After parking the car, Kango went out for another trip, and when he came over, he saw that there was a café nearby that had not yet closed, so after settling in, he ran over, and when he came back a short time, he carried two bags, one containing two paper cups full of hot coffee, and the other was obviously a new insulated kettle.
"It's a coincidence! That café actually sells this kind of thermos pot! It was exactly the amount of two large cups, so I bought a pot and asked them to help me wash it, scald it, fill two cups, and buy two additional cups of what we are drinking, and it is estimated that it will be able to withstand it this night! I stared like this in the first half of the night, and the two of us took turns resting in the second half of the night. ”
Yan Xue took the things and put them away, and saw Kang Ge take out the big paper bag containing the thermos again, as if by magic, he took out another carton, and when he opened it, there were actually two cakes inside.
"Oh my God, this is coffee and cake, such a comfortable squat, why am I a little weak-hearted!" Yan Xue joked.
"Don't be vain, as long as we complete our work tasks normally, who stipulates that we have to make ourselves so miserable haha, we are policemen, not ascetics! Our responsibility is to fight crime and protect the people, not to be self-abusive! ”
Kang Ge waved his hand with a smile: "There are some hardships that must be suffered, then we can't be afraid of the heavy, in addition, it is pure masochism to ask for hardships!" If you want to say that in the wilderness, you still have to drink coffee and eat cake, that is to be a demon.
Now it's a ready-made convenience, and the café is a five-minute walk away, so let's call it making the most of everything!
There are few easy things in this life, so in addition to abiding by the law and dedication, you must also treat yourself well! ”
Yan Xue was amused by Kang Ge's deliberate old and serious appearance when he spoke, she felt that Kang Ge always spoke in a ridiculous or casual tone, but after thinking about it, she felt that he was a little transparent.
Since Kang Ge is also reasonable, the cake has been bought, there is no reason to waste it, the two of them ate sloppy dinner, and now they are indeed a little hungry, Yan Xue did not twist, and ate happily.
"Fortunately, you persuaded Lin Zhen's parents, otherwise it would have really caused chaos!" Yan Xue looked at the time, if Lin Zhen's parents insisted on coming, it is estimated that they would not be able to catch up at this time.
"Yes, more importantly, if Lin Zhen is held in her stomach, she can say it in front of her parents, maybe she will open her mouth last time, so that she won't want to run out again after going back with her parents." Kang Ge was also very helpless, "It doesn't matter if we run more this time, but this time we must not return in vain, no matter what, we have to let Lin Zhen make it clear, otherwise if we toss like this again, it will be a trivial matter for us to waste time and energy, I am afraid that something else will suddenly go wrong in the middle." ”
"Although Lin Zhen is a bit unreliable, it doesn't feel very worry-free, but when you think about it, it's not easy for her to hold back by herself these days, carrying all the worries and fears in her heart." Yan Xue sighed.
After sighing, as an only child, she suddenly became a little curious about the way Kang Ge and Lu Xiaodong got along: "Do you usually have an estrangement with your sister?" For example, if you don't dare or are embarrassed to tell your parents, will you tell each other and keep them secret, and be allies? ”
"Is this...... She is a little afraid to tell her parents something, she will indeed find me a way, if it is not a matter of principle, I will hide it for her, but if I think that the matter is not small, there is a certain seriousness, I will still infiltrate my mother, but in this regard, I also have a tacit understanding with my mother, that is, I betrayed my sister, and my mother will not betray me, so for Xiaodong, I am indeed her ally. ”
Kang Ge smiled after speaking: "As for my business...... Just my stupid sister, the master who has to help others count the money and settle accounts if she is sold, if it were you, you would choose her as an alliance and let her help you give advice and answer questions? ”
"That'...... If it were me, I really wouldn't choose to do that. Yan Xue replied honestly.
Although this is the first time she has seen Lu Xiaodong and has had a little preliminary contact with her, Lu Xiaodong gives her the impression that she is indeed that kind of innocent little girl, and she is very likable to people, but she can't be regarded as a dependent.
"But the relationship between you and your sister is really good, unlike my former classmates and friends who were brothers and sisters, basically quarreling from childhood to adulthood, like enemies." Yan Xue sighed.
"I'm really good to Xiaodong," Kang Ge smiled, and after a pause, he said again, "I'm sitting in the car tonight anyway, so why don't I tell you about me!"
I made bold remarks in front of my sister today, saying that I was working hard, so why should it be necessary for you to strengthen your basic understanding of me, right? ”
