Wait for tomorrow
In order to ensure that he could quickly collect evidence, Yiyu decided to transfer his shift to the second half of the night.
If she had time during the day, she and Bai Yi'an would have more time to discuss a solution to the matter.
"Zhao Ke, I have something to do recently, can I change the shift with you, you work the day shift, and I work the night shift." Yiyu thought for a long time before he spoke to Zhao Ke.
For example, this shift, he will disrupt his biological clock, and for a whole day, she is afraid that Zhao Ke will be too tired, she has troubled him too many times, but this time, she still has to ask him for help.
"What's going on? Look at you for the past two days. Zhao Ke asked her.
She decided to tell Zhao Ke the whole story, and asked him for help, it was always bad to hide everything, and if she didn't mention it, it would be rude to him.
"You remember, I used to ask my sister to substitute for me, and I just went to write a travel book. But then our book was not approved. The book you bought not long ago, although the pen name is different, but the content in it is clearly written by us at that time. So ......"
Before Yiyu could finish speaking, Zhao Ke said loudly: "What?!" And that kind of thing. ”
Yiyu nodded.
Zhao Ke clenched his fists, "This is too hateful, your hard work has been plagiarized like this, so have you found out who the author is?" ”
"Not yet, we're looking for proof that we wrote this book."
"What about the manuscripts? You haven't saved it? ”
"We didn't delete it, but ...... Inexplicably gone. ”
"Huh? So what can I do now, just say. ”
"Being able to switch shifts with me has helped me a lot." Yiyu was embarrassed to trouble him to help him do something else.
"Okay, if you need any other help, just talk to me."
"Thank you." Yiyu was holding the bag, and she wanted to hurry back home and look for it wherever she could.
The drawer of her desk was stuffed with old manuscripts, and she took them out, not sparing a single piece of paper.
She thought carefully in her mind about where she had put the manuscript after the notice had failed the review.
At that time, she felt very unbelievable, but the editor-in-chief said so, and she did not have a chance to fight again. I can only convince myself that as the editor-in-chief said, they are not good enough, their qualifications are not high enough, and their fame is too small, so they can't pass the review.
But whenever she saw that the manuscript she had worked so hard to write could not be published, it was like a thorn in her heart, reminding her that she was not good at writing. So she put the manuscript in a place where she couldn't easily see it.
Where it's not easy to see?
That bookcase!
She used to have a book that she liked to read, but then she rarely looked at it, and gradually forgot it in the corner, and there was some dust on it.
So she put the manuscript there, because she basically wouldn't look for it.
She hurried to the bookshelf, where she had cleaned it a little, but there was still a thin layer of ash left, and she pulled the book out, and the dust got into her nose. Can't help but sneeze.
I opened the book, and sure enough, the manuscript was inside. This is also a little more proof, after some time on the paper of the manuscript, the traces on it will never be the same as that written on new paper.
What's more, when they were on the train, Yiyu put it in his bag, carried it behind his back, and pressed the paper when he leaned on the seat, crumpling it a little.
She took out the bag that had previously contained the documents and carefully put the manuscript inside.
Let's go and see if there is any progress in Bai Yi'an.
Bai Yi'an sat on the chair, didn't know who he was talking to on the phone, and took a pen to write and draw on paper.
"Any progress?" Yiyu waited for him to hang up the phone and asked.
"I couldn't ask anything, but I found a strange problem." Bai Yi'an pointed to the paper in his hand.
"What?" Yiyu walked over and picked up the piece of paper on which he wrote and drawn, on which was the person in charge of the manuscript review, but according to them, the manuscript at that time should have been reviewed.
"Look." Bai Yi'an pointed to the names in the back, "According to my question, the manuscript passed when they reviewed it, but when it came to the last few people, they basically said that they couldn't remember it clearly, and it was precisely in one of these links that our manuscript did not pass the review." ”
It was very strange to hear him say that. If there is a problem at the beginning, then it is impossible for the manuscript to pass in the previous review steps, but why does it happen that in the later stages, their statements begin to be blurred?
"And what do you think should be done?" Although Yiyu understood in her heart, she didn't know what to do, it was only in the suspicion stage at the moment, if others denied it, she and Bai Yi'an would not have any way.
"Let's wait and see what happens." Bai Yi'an replied.
"By the way, I found the manuscript I wrote at the time." She pulled out the manuscript from her bag, which had been carefully placed in the file bag.
Bai Yi'an took it and looked at it for a while, "But didn't the lawyer say that these might not work at that time?" ”
"I know, but the texture of these papers doesn't look like they can be faked at all, and I wonder if I can find some breakthrough in them."
Bai Yi'an touched the paper with his hand, there were many folds, "But what if others refute that we deliberately made it old." ”
Deliberately old? Others could indeed use this as a rebuttal point, but she remembered that she had watched a television station before, and now it seemed that there was a more advanced handwriting technique that could be used to calculate the approximate time when it was written.
She said what was in her heart, Bai Yi'an thought for a while, and they decided to find some channels to learn about this matter.
Before I knew it, it was already late, and Yiyu was going to the convenience store to change shifts with Zhao Ke.
She gently pushed open the door of the convenience store, and she saw Zhao Ke smearing some wind oil essence around her eyes. She felt funny and distressed, and he must be very tired if he continued to work for so long.
"Sleepy?" She asked in as gentle a tone as she could.
"Ah, it's a little uncontrollable sleepiness from time to time." He hurriedly twisted the lid of the wind oil essence and stuffed it into his bag.
"Is something going on?"
"It's a little bit, but it's still a little difficult to do it in the future." Yiyu felt a headache when he thought about it, they had to find clues as soon as possible, if too much time passed, the less likely they would be able to find the truth.
Hearing her say about handwriting identification, he suddenly exclaimed, "Oh." "I know a friend who works in the police department, although he is inexperienced, but let him ask the seniors in the bureau, he should be able to give you some advice." ”
Police station, why didn't she and Bai Yi'an expect that they had been obsessed with one place, but they should actually find a breakthrough from different angles.
"If it's convenient for you, can you help me ask? I invite you to drink milk tea, or, what do you want to eat? ”
"Don't think about eating, our working hours are just staggered, unless we eat at a convenience store, how can we eat together." He smiled, "Leave this matter to me, I'll talk to him early tomorrow." If he gets back, I'll message you. ”
"Good! It's too much trouble for you every time. Yiyu went to the freezer and took a bottle of juice, "That's when I ask you to thank you for your help." But she looked at her hand again, a bottle? Isn't it a little shabby.
Zhao Ke took it directly and said happily: "Thank you, I'm just thirsty." ”
He took off his work clothes, put on his usual black baseball cap, and walked out with the yellowed canvas bag on his back, "By the way, you must pay attention to safety at night." If you have any trouble, you can call me. ”
Zhao Ke was so good to her, so good that Yiyu didn't know how to repay it in the future. He always seems to eat the bento boxes and rice balls in the store, which is okay to eat occasionally, but she knows that she has been eating these for a long time because she wants to save money, and her body is a little weak, and these fast foods are not nutritious.
She can take some time to buy some better dishes for him to eat, although she doesn't cook often, but as long as she is a little serious, the dishes she makes should not be bad.
Even when she thought it was late, there were still some people who went into the convenience store to buy food, and listening to their conversation, it seemed that they were working overtime at a nearby company.
"Do you still want to sell it?" A tall, thin boy walked up to the cashier and asked her.
She looked at the clock, and the food in the pot had reached the required expiration time, and according to the rules, she could not sell these things to customers.
"These can't be sold anymore." Yiyu replied.
"It's too late, my stomach is not good, I want to eat something warm, you see, there is no way, I really can't stand it."
Yiyu looked at his frowning brows, and she knew that her stomach hurt badly, so she tried to see if she could cook him another bowl.
"Can you wait? You pick out what you like to eat first, and I'll help you get something to cook a bowl again, do you think it's okay? Yiyu asked him.
In fact, the oden that has just expired is completely edible, and she used to always eat it to fill her stomach. It's just that there is surveillance in the store, and if the boss finds out that she sells expired food to customers, her part-time job may become a problem.
"Okay, but please hurry up and cook it." He thought for a while, "I'll get a milk tea first, can I make hot water for brewing?" ”
"Yes, there was hot water available in the store. On the left-hand side of the dining area, it's obvious that you can easily see it. Yiyu pointed towards the dining area.
"Okay." The boy agreed, took the milk tea and ran to the dining area at the back.
Yiyu walked to the freezer in the back and took out some of the food that the boy had selected at the time, she fished out the expired oden, replaced it with a fresh soup base, turned the heat to the maximum, and put the food in.
The boy stayed in the back for a while, then walked to the cash register, approached her and whispered, "Are these fished out of yours expired?" ”
Yiyu nodded.
"Can you give it to me secretly, I'll have breakfast at home tomorrow morning." His voice is very quiet.
"Are you sure you want these expired?" Yiyu asked him.
"Yes, I've only been here for a long time, and I haven't made any money yet, anyway, you have to dispose of it too, can you give me some."
"Okay. Do it quietly, though, because convenience stores are not allowed to sell these expired foods to customers. ”
She tied the oden tightly in a bag, waited until it was fresh, and handed it to him.
As fellow people who make a living together in the city, she can understand this kind of behavior, but she didn't expect that she could help others in this way.
Late at night, the store gradually became empty, and Yiyu lay on the table and took a nap.
The night is turning from darkness to a little brighter, and the sun is slowly rising, but no one knows what kind of tomorrow awaits them.
