Chapter 19: The Alley Attacked
Du Li took the initiative to forcibly ask Zi Shumo for all kinds of contact information, and Tu Xiuwen on the side was shocked, she had never seen Du Li communicate with her so actively, at least not in real life! Seeing her so unusual, Tu Xiuwen couldn't help but think: Could it be that Zi Shumo is too charming? Or did Liu Jingqing's death cause a certain amount of stimulation to Du Li, change her mind, and then change her behavior?
But wasn't it okay yesterday? It seems that it's because of Zi Shumo, right? Tu Xiuwen thought as she peeked at Zi Shumo.
Zi Shumo didn't notice it at all, and politely exchanged contact information with Du Li. Seeing that there was another contact on his mobile phone, Zi Shumo had a complicated feeling in his heart, more confused. Did you really not know anyone before? Or do you mean that people you know don't want to be in a relationship anymore? But he didn't have any impression of these things, and he couldn't help but sigh secretly.
The two said goodbye to Du Li and began to walk back. Zi Shumo didn't speak much along the way, but habitually touched his neck from time to time, and the two moles, one red and one black, under his left ear, were even more eye-catching.
Tu Xiuwen is a person who is afraid of being cold, Zishumo walking beside her without saying a word made her very uncomfortable, and finally couldn't help asking:
"Why don't you speak, what have you been thinking?"
Zi Shumo didn't look back at Tu Xiuwen, but frowned, and then said softly as if talking to himself:
"It's almost time for dinner, right? Let's go to Amy's Restaurant. ”
"Why?" Tu Xiuwen asked blankly.
"I want to go and see Liu Jingqing's mother, Aunt Gu." Zi Shumo said lightly.
Although she didn't understand what Zi Shumo was planning, Tu Xiuwen didn't ask anything more, and took Zi Shumo through the alley towards Amy's restaurant.
This alley is very narrow, between the two high walls, it can barely be passed by two people in parallel, and there is no one else in the alley at this time except for Tu Xiuwen and Zi Shumo.
The feeling of oppression formed by the towering walls on both sides was extremely uncomfortable, and Zi Shumo suddenly felt a feeling of thorns in his back, which was exactly the same as when he was eating with Tu Xiuwen in the dining car.
Zi Shumo immediately showed an alert look, looked around, and pulled Tu Xiuwen to his side.
Tu Xiuwen didn't know why, frowned and said secretly: At that time, I thought that this person was polite and polite on the train, why did he change his appearance today? It's either hooking up with a girl or being hairy! Didn't you look away by yourself?
"Be careful, someone is following us. Wait a minute, you listen to my arrangement, and when I tell you to run, you can run quickly, you know? Zi Shumo grabbed Tu Xiuwen's arm with one hand, while still looking around vigilantly, and slowly walked forward.
Tu Xiuwen thought that Zi Shumo was joking at first, but when she saw Zi Shumo's expression, she immediately changed her opinion, because his alert appearance was like a wolf that had been violated by someone's territory, and she couldn't help but get nervous, and then began to look around.
Zi Shumo turned his back to the wall, and Tu Xiuwen did the same, walking forward cautiously.
"Are you sure someone is following us?" Tu Xiuwen asked nervously.
Zi Shumo paid attention to all the movements around him, and after answering, he suddenly felt an unusual vibration in the air, as if there were a lot of sharp objects attacking the two of them at high speed.
"Run, get out of the alley and go out into the street! Go to crowded places! I'll get back to you later! Zi Shuomo said, pushed Tu Xiuwen, and dodged behind her, while his hands reflexively grabbed into the air.
Tu Xiuwen glanced at Zi Shumo in shock, and saw that after grabbing his hands a few times, he threw a handful of iron nails on the ground! She couldn't believe her eyes, and her brain stopped spinning for a moment, frozen in place.
"Why are you still stunned!? Run! Zishu Mo saw that Tu Xiuwen was staying still, so he roared anxiously, and hit Tu Xiuwen with his elbow again.
Tu Xiuwen came back to her senses, hesitated for a moment, and immediately ran towards the exit of the alley.
Although Zi Shumo didn't know who the person who attacked him suddenly, he was somewhat relieved when he was sure that the other party just wanted to attack him. As long as Tu Xiuwen is safe and sound, the rest will be easy to do!
The best defense is to fight back, since there are no worries, Zi Shumo let go of his hands and feet, did not retreat, but advanced, and ran quickly in the direction where the iron nail was shot.
A few ups and downs jumped up the wall, and jumped through the branches of the trees into an open window within the wall. With his keen sense, he was sure that this was the place where the man who had attacked him had been.
Looking around the room, the air was filled with the smell of chemicals, building materials piled up everywhere, and it looked like a house preparing for renovation, and there were a few nail guns on the ground.
Zi Shumo bent down to pick up the nail guns on the ground, and immediately determined that two of them still had imperceptible residual temperature, obviously someone had used them just now.
The strong smell here masked the aura of the people who were here just now, and this nail gun was relatively lightweight, if it was a trained person, one person could easily use two at the same time, so it was difficult for Zi Shumo to determine how many people were here just now. What made him even more confused was who was targeting him.
At first, when he was on the train, Zi Shumo thought that someone was trying to disadvantage Tu Xiuwen, but now it seems that he is the real target of others!
Just thinking about it, he suddenly heard a siren in the distance, and then heard Tu Xiuwen's shout:
"Zishu Mo——! Zishu Mo——! ”
Zi Shumo hurriedly poked his head out of the window and saw Tu Xiuwen and Lei Qiang looking for him in the alley outside the wall. He hurriedly took advantage of the unpreparedness of the two, turned over and jumped back into the alley.
"I'm here!" Zi Shumo shouted, and Tu Xiuwen and Lei Qiang looked back and saw him, with surprised expressions on their faces.
"Are you alright? Where did you come from? Who attacked us just now? Tu Xiuwen stepped forward and grabbed Zi Shumo's arm with both hands, and threw a series of questions at him, while Lei Qiang on the side looked at him with puzzled eyes.
Zi Shumo smiled slightly and said indifferently: "Ah, it's nothing, it's just a few children who are naughty." ”
Tu Xiuwen was not satisfied with Zi Shumo's answer, but seeing that he looked calm and light, he didn't seem to be lying, and he didn't know whether to believe him or not for a while.
Tu Xiuwen glanced at Lei Qiang, thinking that Zi Shumo might have some reason and didn't want to say it in front of Lei Qiang, so she smiled reluctantly and said, "Alas, it's okay." ”
Lei Qiang narrowed his eyes and said curtly: "A big man, don't be so surprised!" You're wasting the resources of the police force and wasting taxpayers' money, you know!? ”
Zi Shumo didn't want to worry about him, not that he was afraid of him, but that he was afraid of trouble, so the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, revealing an indifferent smile, and he didn't say anything.
But Tu Xiuwen quit, crossed her hands on her hips, and said coquettishly: "Aren't we taxpayers!?" Isn't it your police's responsibility to protect us!? You try to walk down the street for no reason and someone takes a nail to shoot you, do you panic!? ”
