To be honest, this time I visited the village for investigation, because so far, everything in the village has been normal, and my vigilance has become weaker and weaker as time goes by.
But now the figure in the distance who seemed to be spying on Lin Qianyi suddenly made me alert again. Because it was a bit far away, I couldn't tell whether the person was spying on us or just happened to be watching us.
Look here. But the sneaky look of that man really makes people feel quite suspicious.
So, while looking at the man with my peripheral vision, I walked up to Lin Qianyi and said calmly: "Sister Lin, there is someone behind you watching us."
Lin Qianyi's face suddenly showed a look of surprise, but then she regained her composure. She kept looking at me and asked me: "Surveillance? Are you sure?"
"I don't know, let's test it out and see."
With that said, I took Lin Qianyi and walked towards the distance. We walked quickly, turned at an intersection ahead, and then secretly hid in the shadow of a stilted building to take a peek.
After a while, a man popped his head out from the corner. After realizing that we were no longer on the road, he quickened his pace and ran past us.
Lin Qianyi and I looked at each other, a little surprised by the identity of the man just now. We both knew that man, and it was Awu, the son of Widow Liu, whom we had met not long ago.
I remember that when we left the farmhouse, Awu was obviously with Widow Liu. I don’t know when he ran out and when he started following us?
Moreover, why is he following us? Could it be that the purpose of the two of us entering the village has been known to the people in the village?
When I was thinking about Ah Wu's motives, I accidentally didn't notice that Lin Qianyi beside me had rushed out and walked behind Ah Wu.
"Awu! Are you following us?"
Seeing Lin Qianyi appear behind him, Awu was obviously surprised. He stopped for half a second, turned around and wanted to slip away, but was already caught by Lin Qianyi.
I was afraid that Lin Qianyi's side would make too much noise and draw others over, so I could only whisper from the side: "Lin Qianyi... pull him over!"
Lin Qianyi held Awu's hands behind her back and pushed him into the darkness. Facing the two of us, Awu looked a little flustered and lowered his head, not daring to look at us.
I asked him what he was doing just now? Why he was following us, Awu was evasive and couldn't tell. I didn't know whether he was following us out of his own will or under the instigation of someone else, so I could only lie to him:
"You have been looking at Lin... my wife, do you think I didn't see it? If you don't say anything, I will take you to the old village chief to complain! Let the whole village know about you!"
"No..." Awu suddenly said. I originally thought he was going to confess honestly, but who knew that his next words were, "You can't go to the old village chief! Otherwise you will be in danger!"
This surprised both Lin Qianyi and me for a while. I asked Awu what he meant by this. Who knew that Awu kept his mouth shut and refused to say anything.
I curled my lips and had the urge to use force to make him speak, but Lin Qianyi stopped this impulse before it could be turned into action.
She asked me to stand aside and motioned for me to ask him.
I couldn't talk to Lin Qianyi, so I could only stand aside with my hands folded and my eyes wide open to guard against Ah Wu. I would be ready to take action at any time if something went wrong with him.
However, when Awu, who was stubborn in front of me, faced Lin Qianyi, his eyes became obviously erratic.
Lin Qianyi asked Awu: "Awu, what do you mean by what you just said? Why can't we go to the village chief?"
Awu said: "It's not you, it's you! You are the only one who is in danger!"
Hearing Awu's words, I suddenly became anxious: "Boy, please speak clearly! What do you mean that only Qianyi is in danger?"
"Sijiu..." Lin Qianyi stopped me and said, "Don't worry, let me ask him." She then turned to Ah Wu and continued to ask: "Ah Wu, why am I in danger? Do you know something?
I'd like you to tell us if you can."
"Okay..." Awu nodded, but just when I thought he was about to speak, the other party suddenly pointed at me and said to Lin Qianyi: "But I can only say the next words to you alone, you let me
Husband, stay away from us."
These words immediately made me furious, and I reached out to touch my arms. When I went up the mountain this time, because I was worried about the danger, I deliberately brought the pistol equipped by the bureau with me. Lin Qianyi looked at me
He immediately guessed what I was thinking, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to hold me down, then pushed me out and said, "Sijiu, you must not be impulsive at this time."
I looked at Lin Qianyi and said anxiously in a low voice: "But Sister Lin, that kid doesn't have a good heart at first glance..."
"Are you still afraid that I will suffer a loss?" Lin Qianyi asked me back, and I was stunned. Yes, in front of Lin Qianyi, let alone one Awu, even ten Awu
, it is extremely difficult to hurt her.
In desperation, I had no choice but to take a few steps back. But Ah Wu said again: "No, please stay further away!"
"You brat, if you want to cause trouble, I won't let you look good!" I cursed fiercely and took a few steps back, until I reached the intersection where Awu just appeared.
Standing at the intersection, looking at Lin Qianyi who was talking to Awu from a distance, I felt quite anxious. Awu said that Lin Qianyi would be in danger. What did this mean? Could it be that someone wanted to do her harm?
Could it be the old village chief? Why did he do that? Also, what is the connection between the situation we are encountering now and what happened to Mr. Xu and his wife?
For a moment, countless question marks appeared above my head, which made me feel a little irritated. I reached out my hand and fumbled around in the pockets of my clothes, and found a crumpled pack of cigarettes and only a few left.
There was a broken match. I took out a cigarette, tied it myself, lit it and started smoking.
Almost when I finished smoking a cigarette, Lin Qianyi also ended the conversation and walked towards me. I was about to ask her how she was doing, but I saw that Awu had already fled in the opposite direction to me.
Already.
The choking smoke rushed into my lungs, causing me to cough violently after not having smoked for a long time. However, after the coughing, I suddenly woke up.
I suddenly realized that in this operation, I had been too impulsive and blind from the beginning. For such a search operation, I actually neither reported it to the bureau nor made any preparations.
If it is true that Lin Qianyi may be in danger as that Awu said, what should I do to ensure her safety? Is it the gun on my body? Or can I be sure that when danger comes,
, can I immediately think of a foolproof countermeasure?
Cold sweat began to break out on my forehead, and I thought that I was indeed careless. Although I have encountered many dangers since joining the 749 Bureau, in fact, in most cases, I have many companions around me who can rely on.
There are even reinforcements on call to help, but this time, there are almost no reinforcements around me that I can rely on. In this case, it would be nothing if I was alone, but right now, I
This put Lin Qianyi in a dangerous situation as well.
Thinking of this, I have made up my mind to take Lin Qianyi away from here as soon as she comes back. Although nothing has been investigated, maybe I feel sorry for Mr. Xu who is still waiting for our news, but I reported it to the draw and
I don't plan to continue taking risks until they send reinforcements.
Just when I made up my mind, Lin Qianyi suddenly appeared from beside me. She snatched the cigarette butt from my mouth, stomped on the ground a few times, and said unhappily: "Four-nine."
, why are you smoking again?"
I smiled awkwardly at her, and just when I was about to speak, I discovered that Awu, who was originally with Lin Qianyi, had disappeared.
I quickly asked where the boy had gone, but Lin Qianyi told me that he had gone home.
"Go home?" I asked anxiously, "Sister Lin, is this okay? What did that guy mean by what he just said? Did he make it clear to you?"
Hearing my question, Lin Qianyi looked a little confused and said: "I don't know either. Awu only told me that there was danger in this village and asked me to leave here quickly. As for the specific reason, he refused to say anything.
, and said that it was the secret of the village."
