Chapter 17: Undercover (2)
Xiao Xue from the Polo Street Police Station changed my clothes. When I came to Xiangyunju, Lao Gu took a look, and finally said with a straight face: "This person looks like a handyman." ”
"That's right, we have to work to satisfy the masses!" Qu Damin said proudly.
I glared angrily, Lao Gu came over and handed me a white apron, and pointed to the table next to me, which probably meant that the table over there should be wiped down. ”
In the afternoon, I continued to wipe the table in the store, when Shen Yu suddenly pushed the door and walked in. She didn't recognize me at first glance, and stared at me the second time.
"Who tossed you into this virtue?"
"Undercover, for work. Lao Gu also praised me for being proficient in washing dishes and cutting vegetables, and he asked me to get up early tomorrow and fry fritters and cook wontons with him. ”
"You can even fry fritters?"
"I don't know how to do any housework?"
"But what's the use of learning to fry fritters?" She said with a cold breath in her nose.
"It's not—art is not pressing. I'm afraid you won't want to open it in the future, in case you wake up one morning after marrying me and say, stake, I really want to eat fritters as soon as I open my eyes today. Then I'll go to the kitchen and fry two for you......"
"Shut up, marry whom? What kind of marriage?! ”
"Good. Don't say it, don't say it. I quickly stopped talking.
"You have to remember, now you're just going undercover, don't really think of yourself as a handyman." She didn't raise her head and said, "It's a lunar eclipse tonight, I'll go to find Shi Chong in a while, that slug is unreliable, I have to tell him to keep an eye on it." ”
"Don't worry, I'm going to squat under the stove tonight, as long as someone lifts the pot, I'll jump up and catch him." I patted my chest and said.
"You have to be safe, too, and don't forget that the man was carrying a knife last time."
I nodded, Shen Yu seemed to have something unfinished, she stared at me for a moment before walking towards the door, but turned around halfway through.
"I'll come in the evening, and I'll stay in the back kitchen of the restaurant with you."
"No, no, you're busy with more important things." I said with a vigorous wave of my hand.
Instead of arguing with me, she walked out the door quickly.
"Hey," Aunt Gu, who was guarding at the counter, kept staring at her, and as soon as she closed the door, she ran over to call me, "Xiao Yan, you are so blessed, that girl likes you!" ”
I was taken aback, and hurriedly said Aunt Gu, don't comfort me, I know myself and the other is invincible, I know myself and that girl even more, I have been chasing her for countless years, and I am honored that people can treat me as a spare tire.
"Haha, I won't fight with you, the little woman's actions and thoughts, only the old woman can understand." Aunt Gu lowered her head and crackled with an old abacus and said, "If it weren't for you being so diligent and capable, I wouldn't have told you." ”
I smiled and continued to wipe the table.
Xiangyunju usually closes at half past ten. It was the day when I looked at the moon, and I looked at the moon through the window, and then at my watch—the observatory predicted that the lunar eclipse would begin at 1 a.m.
Shi Chong sent me a WeChat message telling me that police were arranged at both alleys. In addition, in order to avoid any accidents, Xiangyun was stationed at the back door of the house by him and Director Qu in a hidden position.
"Teacher Yan, you must not have any head-on conflict with the thief, and try not to expose yourself, as long as he comes in, you can notify us according to the remote alarm I gave you." He admonished in WeChat.
I fumbled in my pocket. The siren given by Shi Chong is still there, and the siren is linked to everyone who participates in the operation, and as long as I press it, everyone will enter a state of alert.
In addition, the police have installed real-time monitoring equipment in the back kitchen of Xiangyunju in the past few days.
At about eleven o'clock, Shi Chong and Lao Qu were arranged in place, and in addition, there were two assistant policemen in the area who sneaked in, one hiding behind the rice bowl in the back kitchen, and the other hiding in the corner where melons, fruits and vegetables were placed, with a snakeskin bag draped over his head, and a few green onions resting on the bag.
At about twelve o'clock, Lao Gu and his wife finally packed up and prepared to go home, when Shen Yu pushed the door and walked in.
"Packed up?" She asked me.
"Packed up—what are you doing here?"
"Didn't you say okay, I'll guard it with you?" She didn't bring a bag and was dressed in a tight-fitting athletic outfit. Aunt Gu squeezed her eyes at me from behind her back.
"Then you two stay well, I'll go with the old man first!" Aunt Gu was busy pulling Lao Gu out.
"Why, I haven't told them not to break anything for me!" Lao Gu said uneasily.
Aunt Gu dragged Lao Gu: "Are you old and confused?" If you break something, can the government not compensate you? Hurry up and boil my feet for me! ”
Lao Gu turned around and walked away step by step. There are only two people left in the huge room, Shen Yu and me, no, in fact, there are two assistant policemen Xiao Zhao and Xiao Jin hiding in the back kitchen, and Shi Chong and Lao Qu are guarding the back door, but these suddenly seem to be less important.
I looked at Shen Yu. Although she usually likes to exercise, especially swimming, yoga and running, she is very conservative and because the clothes for sports are relatively light and close-fitting, she usually does not let me go to yoga and swimming places to find her.
Shen Yu's figure is actually quite good, but she is always twisted in this regard. She is especially tired of others praising what beauty and sex appeal and the like, and she is even more annoyed with words like "big breasts and no brains".
I knew what was bothering her, and she didn't want her other strengths to overshadow the fact that she was superior to her intelligence.
"Why do you keep staring at my bust and ignoring my IQ?" That's what she sometimes says to me.
"Nope...... I don't stare at ...... much," I always explain.
"Nonsense, it just looked like it!"
"No, I've been dodging my eyes, but the target is too big, and sometimes I can't dodge......"
"If you can't hide, close your eyes!"
I usually close my eyes at this time, and I guess the force is so great that my face is full of wrinkles. Every now and then, she left me and walked away.
But today was different, she didn't seem to care about standing in front of me in a tight outfit, and she didn't mean to let me avoid it at all.
"Are you - have you found a place to hide?"
"Find, find!" I say.
"What are you excited about?!"
"No, no, not excited."
"Don't try to lie to me, you stutter when you're excited."
"Oh......"
"Take me to the back kitchen."
I nodded, led her around a pile of tables and chairs, and pushed open the door to the back kitchen.
She walked briskly from behind and grabbed me by the sleeve with one hand.
Even though there was no skin-to-skin contact, I could feel my heart pounding violently at that moment.
