It was about to be eight o'clock, and Duanmo was about to get off the bus when he saw a faint light flashing in the alley next to the post office.
"There are people there, I'll go over and take a look."
“Go together.”
Lu Wuchuan patted her back on the back of her hand and got out of the car from the other side.
The alley is very narrow, less than two meters wide, and about ten meters long. Rather than saying it is an alley, it is actually more like a gap between two buildings.
There are no street lights in the alley. Standing at the entrance of the alley on this side of the post office, the shadows of the two people were projected into the alley by the light on the street behind them, and they were pulled long on the ground.
There was also light coming in at the entrance of the opposite alley, and the middle of the alley became the darkest place.
There was a figure in the dark, and waved his hand as they stepped into the alley.
Lu Wuchuan glanced at the situation behind him with his light, and saw that there was no one around, so he held Duan Mo's hand and entered the alley together.
The person in front quickly left the alley. With the dim street lights outside, it can be seen that he was a thin man, with a black sweatshirt, black trousers, and a black baseball cap with a low brim.
The man left the alley and did not turn around, but turned left and continued to walk forward.
The reason why Bagua Street is called Bagua Street is because the streets here are crisscrossed. If you look down from the sky, it is like a huge Bagua diagram. If you are not familiar with people here, you may not be able to tell the difference between the east, south, west and north as you walk.
.
Fortunately, the people ahead didn't go too far, just turned two turns and entered an alley.
On one side of the alley is an elementary school and kindergarten, and on the other side is a certain unit. The long wall extends to the alley. At this time, it was already past the get off work and the school time was over. There was no one passing by the alley, only the roadside The trees stand quietly, occasionally the wind blows by, and the leaves make a low rustling sound.
Under the shadow of a big tree about six or seven meters away from the entrance of the alley, the man finally stopped.
Duanmo stepped forward a few steps and tentatively called "Sister Yinghua". Lu Wuchuan did not follow him, standing a few meters away, observing the surrounding environment.
"It's me, didn't scare you, did you?" Choi Yinghua pushed her hat upwards.
There was a street light not far away. The light shone through the branches, casting mottled shadows on her face. Although it was not real, you could feel that she was much thinner than last time she met.
Duan Mo shook his head: "Ji Yu called me before and said that you... are missing. What's going on?"
Cui Yinghua looked in Lu Wuchuan's direction and said, "I won't talk about this for now. I have something to do and I want to ask you for help."
"Don't say anything to help or not, what I need to do, just say it." Duan Mo said.
"There are a few people here, please help me check them." Cui Yinghua took out a USB flash drive and gave it to her.
"Okay." Duanmo closed the USB flash drive and asked, "How do you tell you after you find it?"
"I'll contact you in a few days." Cui Yinghua said as she looked to the other side of the alley, as if she wanted to leave.
Duanmo quickly pulled her wrist and said, "Where are you living now?" This person is so thin now, and it's a bit uncomfortable to hold his wrist.
"Not fixed, maybe change the place in two or three days, maybe change it in half a day." Cui Yinghua took off her hat with her other hand, scratched her head and then buckled it, "I can't be careful, I'm afraid I'll be caught."
Duanmo couldn't help feeling a little sad when she saw her head shaved into a buzzhead.
She said: "It's not safe to live outside, why don't you go to my house."
Then she quickly added: "I am the only one in my family, the park security is good, and outsiders can't get in."
"It's still not possible, if..."
Cui Yinghua just said halfway through, Duanmo interrupted: "You don't have to worry about implicating me. The Marine Corps is a building next to my house, so it's easy to take care of if you have something to do."
After pursing his lips, Choi Yinghua said, "I can't go with you today, there is nothing to do."
Duanwu took out the notepad and pen from his backpack, wrote the address and the password for the door lock, and pulled off the page of paper and stuffed it into her hand along with an access card.
"Come here as soon as possible after finishing your business, you can do any time."
Cui Yinghua's eyes moved from the thing in her hand to her face: "Aren't you afraid that I did a bad thing and ran away?"
"You won't." Duanmo said confidently.
A woman who has been holding on for many years to avenge her sacrificed husband may have done illegal operations, but it is absolutely impossible to go against her beliefs and conscience.
Cui Yinghua curled her lips and said, "If you go home one day and find someone in the house, don't be afraid."
"Not afraid."
"Then I'll leave first and say hello to the Marine Corps for me."
Duanmo nodded and kept watching the figure hiding into the darkness of the alley before turning around and walking back.
She naturally stuffed her hand into Lu Wuchuan's palm. Neither of them spoke until they got in the car and started the car while telling him what Cui Yinghua had said just now.
Lu Wuchuan waited for her to finish speaking before slowly speaking: "Your home is only one bedroom and one bed."
"It seems that this is not the point, right?" Duanmo drove the car out of Bagua Street.
Lu Wuchuan said: "I'm afraid that you are not used to sleeping in the same bed with others."
"She has no other acquaintances in Liancheng, so hiding is not a way to do this." Duanmo glanced at him, "You don't want her to live in your house, do you?"
"Of course not." Lu Wuchuan denied very quickly, and then said, "She doesn't want to reveal her whereabouts now. It's better to live in your house than to stay in a hotel outside. But her schedule must be different from yours, living in the same room.
It will affect the other party's rest. It's better..."
He turned his head and looked at the little girl, and continued, "You give the house to her for the time being, come to my house. When her work is done, you will go back. This way, it will be convenient for her to do whatever she wants, and there is no need to worry about it.
It will disturb you."
Before he could refute the final rebuttal, he said, "Don't think too much, I have no other intentions. Give it to you, I will go to the guest bedroom. Don't worry, I won't sneak into your room in the middle of the night."
Duan Mo laughed: "There is no silver here, Officer Lu."
She knew that what Lu Wuchuan said made sense, and she knew that even if she lived in his house, as long as she didn't want to, he would never force her to do something she didn't like.
Lu Wuchuan touched his nose: "I really have no other meaning, I'm starting from an objective perspective."
"Let's talk when she comes." Duanmo didn't say anything. Whether Choi Yinghua would go to her house or not is not sure when. It's too early to say this now.
When they arrived at Lianxiang Yayuan, they parked their car in the underground garage, and Lu Wuchuan followed him directly to Duanmo's house.
I put my laptop on the dining table, took the powder to the kitchen and brewed two cups of grapefruit tea.
The computer was slow, and when she came back with two cups, the computer was just turned on on the screen.
"How many years have you used this computer?" Lu Wuchuan plugged the USB flash drive in.
"It wasn't long before I bought it when I was in college." The water was a little hot, so I put the powder on the table first and sat down next to him.
When the USB flash drive was opened, they couldn't help frowning at the same time when they saw the content inside.
