At night in Meizhou, the temperature is neither cold nor hot, which should be a very suitable weather for walking.
At the entrance of the Meijia Hotel, Xiao Zhu was pacing back and forth anxiously, while Lu Sheng was sitting on the steps in front of the door.
"Master, it's been several hours. It's almost twelve o'clock. Will she really come?"
"Stop wandering back and forth in front of me. It makes me very upset."
Lu Sheng also suddenly lost confidence in his heart. He spent the whole day just to meet Lin Xi.
The female receptionist was sitting next to the computer, looking curiously at these two strange men. Ever since they came back, they had been guarding the door. One had been sitting there, and the other had been walking back and forth. From time to time, it seemed
What else are you saying?
"Ring...Ring...Ring..."
The front desk phone rang.
The female receptionist looked at the two people at the door and was distracted for a moment. She was startled by the sudden ringtone. She calmed down, picked up the phone and said politely, "Hello, hello, Beautiful Home Hotel."
"Hey, could you please help me get through the phone in Lu Sheng's room."
The female receptionist glanced at the two people outside the door again, as if she knew why they were sitting at the door, so she replied, "Okay, please wait a moment."
She put down the phone, hurried to the door, and said to Lu Sheng who was sitting on the ground, "I have a call for you."
Xiao Zhu looked at Lu Sheng in confusion, then subconsciously took out his cell phone to check, "Who is it? Why did the call come here?"
Lu Sheng reacted immediately, stood up quickly, ran to the phone, picked up the phone, "Hello."
The unfamiliar voice that Lu Sheng had been waiting for for a long time came from the other end of the phone.
"I'm Lin Xi."
Lin Xi had been busy with everyone in the archives room all day, so she knew that the person reading the files was Lu Sheng, the detective from Huangzhou. She was sure that it was Lu Sheng's voice, so she continued:
"Officer Lu, let's make a long story short. It's not convenient to meet in Meizhou now. You can go back to Huangzhou first and contact us tomorrow morning."
Lin Xi just said this briefly and hung up the phone in a hurry. Xiao Zhu stood aside and roughly guessed the general idea from Lu Sheng's expression.
Lu Sheng took out his mobile phone and quickly pressed the button on the hotel phone. The number of the caller just appeared on the phone display.
After Lu Sheng took down Lin Xi's phone number, he said to Xiao Zhu, "Check out and go back to Huangzhou."
Just after twelve o'clock, Lu Sheng and Xiao Zhu drove away from the Meijia Hotel on Xingfu Road and embarked on the journey back to Huangzhou.
"Lin Xi said that we should go back to Huangzhou. Isn't it convenient for her to meet us in Meizhou?" Xiao Zhu repeated what Lu Sheng had just said.
Then he asked again, "Why?"
"What is certain now is that she wants to see us. Also, during the period after we left the Meizhou Police Station, Lin Xi encountered some things and was unable to come over for some reason."
Xiao Zhu was driving the car, but he still couldn't help but feel the power of the enemy, "It's really not easy and inconvenient to meet this Lin Xi? Has he been noticed by the bad guys? So quickly?"
Zhang Mao accompanied him all the way, and Lin Xi's sudden call made Lu Sheng feel more and more wrong. He thought, it seems that Zhang Mao noticed our meeting in the corridor. This undoubtedly deepened Lu Sheng's hatred of the Meizhou police.
Suspicion within the bureau.
Listening to Xiao Zhu's words, Lu Sheng finally told him his worries, "Xiao Zhu, actually Yan Ju and I both have doubts."
"What? What do you suspect?"
"Suspicious of Director Zhuang in Meizhou."
In the darkness, Lu Sheng was sitting in the back. He couldn't see Xiao Zhu's expression through the rearview mirror, but he knew that anyone who heard this suspicion would be shocked.
"Am I, bastard, Director Zhuang?"
Even if he didn't notice any abnormality at all, Xiao Zhu still believed Lu Sheng's words. Xiao Zhu had almost 100% belief in Lu Sheng. As long as he said it, Xiao Zhu thought it was right.
Xiao Zhu still has many questions, but he doesn't want to think about it now, and he doesn't intend to ask any more questions. He wants to concentrate on driving the car back and not make any mistakes on the road again.
Lu Sheng looked at the time and said to Xiao Zhu, "We will arrive in Huangzhou at about four o'clock."
"Yes."
"After getting off the expressway, call Lin Xi immediately. She will most likely arrive in Huangzhou first."
"Okay Master, why don't you take a rest first."
In the early morning, it was the most tired and sleepy time of the day. Lu Sheng was indeed sleepy now. He couldn't help it anymore and yawned loudly and said:
"I'll take a nap and let's switch driving later. I'll turn on the navigation for you first."
As he said that, Lu Sheng put the phone in front, and he lay on his side behind and fell asleep.
In the quiet car, there was the sound of the car starting up, Lu Sheng's heavy breathing, and the sound of the navigation system coming from time to time. I don't know how long we drove, and Xiao Zhu also started to yawn frequently.
"There is serious congestion 10 kilometers ahead. It is expected to take 5 hours to pass. It is recommended that you switch routes."
The AI intelligent voice broadcast suddenly came from the navigation. Xiao Zhu was still a little sleepy just now. As soon as he heard the news, he immediately woke up.
"What bad luck!"
Xiao Zhu glanced at the time and saw that it was almost three-thirty. He held the steering wheel in one hand and picked up his mobile phone in the other. He chose the nearest expressway exit and got off the expressway.
Xiao Zhu followed the navigation guidance and continued driving on the county road.
The county road is not as good as the highway. There are occasional uneven roads and bumps from time to time. Finally, after a violent ups and downs of the vehicle, Lu Sheng woke up from his sleep.
The blackness has been diluted by the light below the horizon and has become much lighter. The coldness, with the approaching light, has become biting.
Lu Sheng opened his sleepy eyes and crossed his arms across his chest. He looked out the window and said, "Why did you get off the expressway and take the county road?"
"There might have been a traffic accident on the highway, so I got off the highway nearby."
Lu Sheng wrapped her clothes tightly and said to Xiao Zhu, "Let's change and I'll drive."
"I'll do it."
Xiao Zhu didn't agree. He was used to sitting in front and driving, with his master sitting behind him. Ever since he started following Lu Sheng, it seemed like Lu Sheng had never driven a car before.
"I'll drive. I'm familiar with this area. There are small roads that even the navigation system doesn't know about." Lu Sheng said again, but Xiao Zhu couldn't resist him, and finally switched to Lu Sheng to drive.
Lu Sheng held the steering wheel, while Xiao Zhu sat in the passenger seat, "It's so remote, Master is familiar with it?"
"I lived around here for a while before. We will enter Dongchang District first in a moment. This is the district where Director Gao Minggao and his friends live."
The cold outside in the morning made Xiao Zhu feel energetic instantly. He felt no sleepiness at all and sat there looking at the gradually brightening outside.
The car drove for a while, and several hill-like outlines appeared in the distance. Although Xiao Zhu couldn't identify them clearly, he still made a bold guess.
"What's over there? A scrap factory?"
Lu Sheng looked at the familiar outline and said softly, "That's a car scrapping plant there."
