Like Kong Weifeng, Lin Xi also stayed in the office all night. Unlike Kong Weifeng, who slept on a recliner, Lin Xi put a bed of his own in the office.
He took off his uniform and changed into plain clothes. After walking out of the police station building, he did not drive a police car, but drove his own car towards Xingfu Road.
Today is Saturday. On Saturday morning, the traffic conditions on every street are very good. The streets are much quieter than on weekdays. The whole city seems to be sleeping.
Lu Sheng walked out of the Meijia Hotel very early and was eating breakfast at the noodle shop on Xingfu Road.
This noodle shop is very good at doing business. It almost meets the dining needs of the entire street in the morning, noon and evening. Now the room is full of people who got up early and are about to go to work.
"Boss, is there any room?" Another customer walked into the noodle shop. He closed the door and looked around the room at the door.
Hearing the man's voice, Lu Sheng's hand holding the spoon paused momentarily, and the upper left corner of his chest began to beat wildly. He immediately resisted the urge to turn his head and look at the door.
This small shop with only six tables is really not very big. The six tables are divided into two rows against the wall, three on the left and three on the left. The small table is just right for four people.
Lu Sheng sat at the table at the back. Fortunately, Lu Sheng's back was to the door of the store. Fortunately, Lu Sheng was sharing a table with others when he came in. Otherwise, the person who made the sound that made Lu Sheng feel familiar would be very
Maybe I'll sit next to him.
The noodle shop owner was serving millet porridge to customers. When he saw a customer coming in, he put the porridge on the table in the middle and then stepped forward to greet him warmly, "Yes, please wait a moment, or I can serve it to you again."
a table."
"Oh, um, I'd better wait in the room for a while. If there's room, bring me two fried dough sticks and a bowl of tofu."
Lu Sheng drank the soy milk in small sips. He did not dare to make too much noise. As the man's voice came again, although Lu Sheng did not look back, Lu Sheng was sure that it was him, the man behind him.
It's Lin Xi.
Lin Xi took out a stool, sat down by the door and waited, then took out his mobile phone and started reading. However, he just fiddled with the mobile phone randomly, watching the latest news of the past day. His mind was not on the mobile phone at all.
Of course, Lin Xi didn't come here for no reason. Last night, he read Bai Longqiang's case file from three years ago and decided to go to Xingfu Road again, to the place where Bai Longqiang's accident happened, to see if he would have any new ideas.
"Why is he here suddenly?" Lu Sheng lowered his head intentionally, thinking about how to avoid a head-on encounter with Lin Xi.
"Am I too sensitive? Will he still remember me?"
In Lu Sheng's plan, he had imagined the encounter with Lin Xi, and the face-to-face confrontation with Lin Xi was indeed in Lu Sheng's plan, but he did not expect that the unexpected encounter would come so suddenly, and it was not their meeting yet.
when.
At this moment, the two people who were sitting opposite Lu Sheng and having breakfast stood up. They had finished eating and started walking towards the door.
"Squeak...squeak...squeak..."
The stool scraped against the ground, making a harsh sound. This sound seemed to remind everyone in the room that a suspicious person was sitting here eating breakfast.
It seemed as if what the stool had just scratched was not the ground, but Lu Sheng's heart. He frowned and lowered his head even further. He chewed the fried dough sticks in his mouth carefully. He was really afraid of that sound just now.
The loud noise attracted Lin Xi's attention.
As expected, Lin Xi set his sights on Lu Sheng, and he did intend to sit over, but fortunately, he hadn't noticed Lu Sheng yet, and at this time, the table at the door had also finished their breakfast.
He stood up and started walking outside.
The noodle shop owner hurriedly came over to clear the table for Lin Xi, so Lin Xi sat down nearby with his back facing Lu Sheng's direction.
"How should I get away soon? What should I say if he recognizes me?" Lu Sheng's mind was spinning rapidly. He now regarded Lin Xi as an important target of revenge. The scenes in his dreams recently were always
After appearing frequently, Lu Sheng was really not sure whether Lin Xi paid special attention to the other party like him.
Time was lengthening intentionally, endlessly, and the bowl of soy milk that was piping hot just now in front of Lu Sheng had now cooled down.
"Boss, bring me two more fried dough sticks." Lin Xi turned around and shouted to the restaurant owner.
Turning around this time, Lin Xi finally spotted the somewhat familiar figure from behind.
Lin Xi's eyes paused behind Lu Sheng for a moment, and an inexplicable emotion surged into his heart.
Ten years have passed, and Lin Xi and Lu Sheng have never met again. For some people, ten years may not leave many traces on him, but for others, ten years may not leave many traces on him.
, can completely bring about earth-shaking changes in a person. Especially Lu Sheng, he has lost 30 kilograms compared to ten years ago. At 1.8 meters tall, Lu Sheng is now less than 130 kilograms.
You should never doubt the memory of a policeman, even if he no longer does his job, even if he has become a bad policeman. But a keen professional sense is likely to always be with a policeman. Seeing Lu Sheng's back, Lin Xi hesitated.
It felt familiar, but I couldn't remember where I had seen this person before.
Lin Xi hesitated whether he should walk over and take a look. He already had the urge to stand up. At this moment, the noodle shop owner came over with fried dough sticks.
"Your churros."
The door of the noodle shop opened again, and several customers walked in.
One of them saw the boss, took another look inside the room and asked, "Boss, is there anything that's almost finished?"
At this time, there were people eating at every table in the noodle shop, except for the two tables where Lu Sheng and Lin Xi were sitting.
Lin Xi was facing the door. He raised his head and glanced at the people at the door, and said to them, "You guys sit at my table, I'll go to the table inside."
"Thank you." The boss thanked Lin Xi, thinking of doing Lin Xi a favor, and brought him something.
Lin Xi stood up, picked up his bowl, and walked towards Lu Sheng's table with the fried dough sticks.
"Squeak...squeak...squeak..."
Lu Sheng heard the harsh sound again.
When he just heard Lin Xi speak, Lu Sheng had already taken out twenty yuan from his coat pocket and pressed it under the bowl.
It only took a few seconds to walk from the door to the innermost part, and there was no more time left for Lu Sheng to think.
Lu Sheng still lowered his head. He felt Lin Xi's approach and his heartbeat began to accelerate.
Lin Xi's pair of shiny black leather shoes had appeared diagonally behind him. He couldn't wait any longer and took advantage of it now.
