Hua Nianping ordered a mutton pot boy and a dumpling from the restaurant owner, urging him to hurry up as much as possible. The boss said that the mutton had not yet been cooked in the pot, and the dumplings had to be freshly cooked, but they would not be delayed for too long.

As he spoke, a young man and woman entered the restaurant, and they sat at another table next to Hua Nianping. Hua Nianping took out his wallet and paid the bill to the restaurant owner, who politely said that it would not be too late to settle the bill after he had eaten, and turned around to entertain the two guests who had just come in.

Hua Nianping put the wallet back in his chest pocket, wrapped the new windbreaker jacket that Wu Ningfang bought for him, and leaned against the wall behind him.

He wanted to simply relieve his tired body, but he didn't expect to lean back, so he couldn't help but close his eyes. I don't know how long it took, if it wasn't for the restaurant owner to wake him up, Hua Nianping felt that he would be like this and sleep all the time.

I opened my eyes in a daze, and saw that the mutton pot boy and dumplings were already in front of me, and the four men and women in the restaurant were still playing mahjong, but the young man and woman who were sitting next to him just now had left at some point.

Hua Nianping just picked up the chopsticks, and when he looked down, he suddenly felt something strange on his chest.

He took a closer look in the dim light, and found that his coat had been cut more than ten centimeters long, the wallet in his pocket was missing, and the luggage around him was gone.

"There are thieves!"

Hua Nianping exclaimed, limping out.

"Where to run!"

The restaurant owner shouted, and followed Hua Nianping out of the restaurant.

But what Hua Nianping didn't expect was that the boss didn't go to help catch the thief, but grabbed Hua Nianping's collar and dragged him back to the restaurant, because he used too much force, he almost tore off the collar of Hua Nianping's down jacket under his coat.

But it turned out that the owner of the hotel was guarding against Hua Nianping not paying for the meal and took the opportunity to slip away.

At this time, the four men and women also put down the mahjong in their hands and gathered around Hua Nianping together.

Hua Nianping searched his whole body, only found the only 20 yuan loose bills, and said to the restaurant owner: "I'm sorry, I can't eat this meal." I met a thief, and I was left with all this money. ”

The boss immediately screamed and said, "The food has been served, are you telling me to throw it away." ”

A group of people looked at him gloomily, without half a pair of sympathetic eyes.

Hua Nianping was stunned, so he simply took off his windbreaker and jacket and said, "This is what I just put on my body this morning, and now I have made a big cut, and the wallet inside has been stolen." And my suitcase, which you all saw I carrying in, was also taken by the thieves. ”

As he spoke, a few goose feathers from his down jacket flew out of the cracks and danced in the air as if begging for mercy on his behalf.

The woman who played mahjong, she was like the proprietress of a restaurant, snatched Hua Nianping's windbreaker jacket and said, "I don't have any money, use this to offset the bill." ”

Hua Nianping thought, fortunately she didn't ask for the scarf around her neck, and said to the woman calmly; "Okay, I'll pay for it with my coat, but I have one condition, give me half a pound of wine. The trench coat is newly bought, and it is worth your meal and half a catty of wine. ”

The woman was very happy, and immediately ordered her husband to take out a bottle of wine and put it in front of Hua Nianping. It's just more than ten minutes, Hua Nian didn't eat a few bites, and he didn't swallow a few dumplings, but he drank most of the bottle of wine on an empty stomach.

Walking out of the restaurant drunk, although Hua Nianping's head was not very sober, he immediately thought that he had to report the case to the police, because the notice of his appointment and the contact number of Zhang Yanzhi's secretary were stored in a bag in the suitcase.

He followed the instructions of passers-by and braved the rain and snow to find the station police station, where the lights were on in the duty room, but the door was closed tightly. After knocking on the door for a long time, a young man in a police uniform but without a police rank on his shoulders opened the door and came out.

This outfit is generally just an assistant police officer.

The young man seemed to have been disturbed from his good dream, he didn't even allow Hua Nianping to enter the house, and asked unhappily: "Three watches in the middle of the night, what's the matter with you?" ”

Hua Nianping said: "I'll report the case. ”

The young man asked, "What do you report?" ”

Hua Nianping said: "I was stolen. ”

The young man said "oh" indifferently and said, "Someone stole it, this matter happens every day at the station, and there is no way to deal with it." Look at your mouth full of alcohol, you must have drunk too much, don't steal who you steal! If you want to report the crime, you will come back tomorrow, and the people in the office will be taken away tonight to carry out urgent tasks. ”

Hearing the young man say this, Hua Nianping's head began to ache faintly, worried that the wine he drank in the restaurant just now might be fake.

In desperation, he asked the young man to call 110 to call the police.

Unexpectedly, the young man was already very impatient, and said: "How can there be a police station to call 110, even if it is called, the nearest police will be dispatched, and it is not the turn of our station police station to ask about the case." ”

Hua Nianping wanted to be reduced to this point, but now he was really helpless, so he had to show his identity to the young man.

He said: "Then I have to tell you that I am the appointed commissioner of the Enyuan Group who has just arrived in Huaishi, and now I ask you to call the local authorities immediately and ask them to send someone here to pick me up." ”

Hua Nianping's words sounded very resolute, but in fact, they seemed weak.

The person who came actually claimed to be a commissioner? I've never heard of the title of commissioner.

The young man didn't even bother to doubt it, and said with a strange smile: "Look at you, this guy is really not light, no different from the man who begs for money at the station, and he dares to say that he is a commissioner, and I also say that I am the minister of railways." ”

The last hope was dashed, Hua Nianping immediately dropped half a cut, and he couldn't wait to say to the young man: "You blind guy, see if I can find the leader of the police station one day, let them be in front of me, and reprimand you very seriously." ”

He felt that it was difficult for him to explain to the young assistant policeman, and he regretted his stupidity, thinking about his current down-and-out appearance, who looked at him like a high-ranking commissioner, and the department above, which could only be officially announced tomorrow morning.

Hua Nianping left the station police station in frustration, his clothes almost soaked by the rain and snow, and the head on his neck became more and more painful.

He was convinced that he had drunk fake wine in the restaurant just now. Cold and sleepy at this time, the disabled left leg trembled incessantly, and it seemed that he could no longer move his steps, hoping to find a place to lie down on his tired body.

He thought of the waiting hall not far away.

However, security at stations has become so strict that it is impossible to sneak into the waiting hall without ID and a same-day ticket.

At this moment, a sister-in-law with an umbrella greeted Hua Nianping and asked, "Brother, do you live in a hostel!" ”

Hua Nianping replied: "I only have very little money on me, and I don't have an ID card yet, can I live?" ”

The sister-in-law said, "We don't register ID cards, if you have a bed alone, just give 30 yuan." ”

Hua Nianping said with disappointment: "I only have more than 20 yuan. ”

Unexpectedly, the sister-in-law said: "If you are cheap, you will receive 20 yuan!" ”

Hua Nianping never believed in Buddhism, but felt that the sister-in-law in front of him was comparable to the kindness and kindness of Guanyin Bodhisattva, so he immediately followed his sister-in-law.
