"No problem, no problem." I said hastily, and I breathed a sigh of relief. I didn't expect that giving things away would be so troublesome.
Not to mention, the food at this roadside stall tastes really good. I think it is much better than the food in the hotel. Moreover, the food here is all ready-made, and it is served to the table within two minutes of ordering.
Because they are all cooking and steaming vegetables.
When I got off the car just now, I noticed that most of the cars parked here were good cars. From this, it seems that those who come here to eat are not poor people.
I ate three big bowls of rice. I hadn’t eaten like this for a long time. It was so comfortable. What shocked me was that Tong Yao actually ate more than me. She ate four bowls!
"I hate it! Don't look at me like that. Otherwise everyone will come to see me." She noticed my shock and immediately became angry.
I couldn't help but shake my head and smile bitterly.
She immediately started laughing, "Do you think I can afford it too much? Are you worried that no one will be able to support me in the future? Well, I'll pay today, and you can see how cheap it is."
"I'll pay. How can you make sense in paying?" I said hurriedly.
"Stop it. You give me something, and I'll treat you to dinner. We're even." She stopped me, and then called a waiter, "Check out."
I didn't expect it to be so cheap. The two of us only ate for a total of fifty yuan.
"How's it going? Did I make a profit?" She looked at me and smiled.
"Thank you. I know you specially arranged this place today. You don't want me to spend more money." I was a little moved.
"Dr. Feng, you still don't consider me a friend. How can you thank me so much?" She glared at me, and then said: "Originally, I didn't want to accept your things, but I want to recognize you as a friend."
"Thank you... I will definitely pay attention to this in the future. Haha!" I almost said the word "thank you" again.
"Dr. Feng, I want to ask you to do me a favor. Can you?" She almost laughed, and then said to me.
"Say." I said hurriedly. I found that I was inexplicably happy.
"I have a cousin who just graduated from college this year. You are now the son-in-law of Mr. Lin of Jiangnan Group. Can you help my cousin arrange a better job?" she asked me.
"No problem." I said. Of course I dared to agree to her, because I was completely sure.
"In this case, I will ask him to come to you tomorrow and bring you his information." She added.
"Okay." I said.
She then smiled brightly at me and said, "How about it? You won't say thank you to me anymore, will you? I've caused you trouble too."
I laughed immediately.
Later I found out that the police's method of arranging undercover agents was so invisible. Of course, this is something for another day.
"Let's go, you can see your wife soon, oh, no, your ex-wife." She said to me with a smile.
Although her words were meant to be teasing, I still couldn't help but get excited.
The urban area is close to the outskirts. At a corner of the road, on the slope, there is a gate of a Chinese-style building. Tong Yao parked the car outside the gate.
"We're here." She said to me.
I was surprised, "Is this the detention center?"
She nodded, "Yeah. What? What do you think the detention center looks like?"
I shook my head and said nothing. In my opinion, the detention center should be the same as a prison, with high walls and electric fences, heavily guarded by soldiers, and it is difficult for idlers to approach. But the place in front of me was deserted, like a bankrupt factory.
.There are no guards in front of the gate. There is no one except me and Tong Yao. And the gate is still open. I find it incredible.
But there is a sign clearly hanging on the door: Jiangnan Province No. 1 Detention Center
"Originally I could have driven the car in, but after all, I came here in a private way today. Forget it, just park outside." Tong Yao said, and then walked inside. I hurriedly followed.
After a long slope, there was flat land, and I found that there were quite a few buildings here. However, it was still quiet inside, and I didn't see anyone around.
"You didn't bring anything, did you?" Tong Yao asked me.
I was empty-handed now, so of course I didn’t bring anything. “It’s my first time here and I don’t know the rules here. Can I bring anything?” I started to feel a little panicked.
"I hope you won't come here again. It's not a good idea to come in by yourself or come to see others. This place is just like your hospital. Haha!" She smiled, "In this case, there is a canteen there where you can buy
You can also put some money there, but it cannot exceed five hundred yuan. The things and money can be handed over to Zhao Menglei through the prison guard here."
"Okay. I'll buy something for her." I said hurriedly.
After entering the canteen, I found that the items sold here were extremely limited. Mineral water, instant noodles, cigarettes, and a small amount of ham sausages. There was a policeman inside. He was a bit old and was probably about to retire.
"Everything except cigarettes," I said.
"How much?" the policeman asked.
I hurriedly went to see Tong Yao. She smiled and said, "Let's buy a total of two hundred yuan."
I handed over 700 yuan to the policeman and said, "If you buy something worth 200 yuan, keep 500 yuan here."
"You register first and write down the suspect's name." the policeman said to me.
I filled it out quickly, and the policeman immediately placed a plastic basket in front of me, "This is two hundred yuan, look at it."
I was suddenly surprised: there were only five bottles of mineral water, five boxes of instant noodles, two ham sausages, and a small amount of small packaged snacks. I suddenly felt that this place was really dark, much darker than our hospital. But I understood it very well.
How can a place like this make money if it doesn't make money? I immediately understood why Tong Yao asked me to only buy something worth 200 yuan. She didn't want me to be taken advantage of.
"How much can I buy at most?" I asked the policeman.
"Five hundred," the policeman replied. So I handed him another three hundred yuan, "Then five hundred. More snacks."
So the policeman started throwing things into the plastic basket again. Now I feel comfortable with it.
Then Tong Yao took me and continued walking inside. After passing through a building, I saw the armed police on duty. Only then did I know that this was the real place where prisoners awaiting trial were detained.
Tong Yao took out her police officer ID card and handed it to one of the armed police officers, and said: "I contacted Director Wang."
The armed policeman nodded, "The director told us. Let's go in."
After entering, I found that it was a courtyard house. Tong Yao took me into a long corridor on one side. There were quite a few police officers walking around here. A young policeman greeted Tong Yao, "Are you here again?"
"I was just talking about looking for you. Director Wang is not here today. You take him to meet Zhao Menglei. He is Zhao Menglei's husband." Tong Yao pointed at me and said to the policeman.
"Okay." The policeman did not refuse and immediately said to me: "Come with me."
I suddenly felt scared. This was my first time in a place like this. I saw unfamiliar buildings and police everywhere. "Officer Tong..."
"I'll wait for you outside. I'm going to see a friend on the way. Call me when you come out." She smiled at me.
I then followed the policeman and walked inside. In fact, when I first entered the place where the armed police were standing guard, I already felt the majesty of the place. From that moment on, I began to feel worried.
But now, I feel even more fearful and uneasy. From this, I think of Zhao Menglei. She is a woman, how can she stay in such a place? Even I feel a kind of coercion and it is difficult to be tied up.
Painful feeling of breathing.
The policeman was walking in front, and I followed him. I felt that my steps were a little stiff. After turning a few turns, I felt dizzy. Finally, I found that he opened a door and said, "You're in there."
Wait, let me tell them and she will come out soon." The policeman turned around and said to me, giving me a smile on his young face.
"Thank you." I said to him. His smile made my heart warm and I no longer felt so scared.
He went to mind his own business. I entered the door.
It's very big inside, but there's nothing there. Directly in front is a wall of glass windows, one by one, with things like telephones hanging on the windows. I've seen those prison visits in movies and TV, and I know that place.
It was the place where I would talk to the people inside for a while. So I walked there. The room was too big and too empty, and the sounds under my feet actually echoed.
When I walked to the glass wall, I saw a telephone receiver next to the grid of windows. Looking inside, I found that the inside of the glass wall was so dark that I couldn't clearly see what was going on inside.
Now, I am alone in such a space, and the anxiety and uneasiness in my heart have reached its extreme at this moment. I can even hear my own rapid heartbeat.
Suddenly I heard footsteps coming from behind me. I turned around quickly and found that it was Tong Yao. There was another female police officer beside her. They were all smiling at me.
"It's not out yet." I said to them, while giving them a grateful smile.
Tong Yao pointed behind me and said, "Here we come."
I turned around quickly and found that the other side of the glass wall had become bright. I saw it was her, my wife, my former classmate, Zhao Menglei. (To be continued)
