She was so anxious just now that she risked being recognized by the taxi driver and took a taxi. But when she arrived at the hotel door, she realized that she had the face of a wanted criminal and had no way to get in.
She originally thought she could blend in with other guests or enter through the staff passage, but due to the heavy rain, there were too few guests coming in and out. After a long time, there were only two or three scattered stars; she walked around the hotel twice.
, I found that no matter which door I was in, there were several motionless cars.
Although he didn't dare to look further, Xie Feng still noticed that there were people sitting in some cars, and they seemed to have walkie-talkies.
A woman of the same age and stature as a wanted criminal, even if she walks into the hotel openly, will attract the attention of surveillance personnel, right? They only need to give a warning to the hotel and let the internal staff check the ID - no, even if they look more
With one glance, Xie Feng was doomed.
She naturally hoped that she was overly worried and that they wouldn't check everyone who entered the hotel, but she also knew that she was not lucky enough.
Having said that, in the pouring rain, a soaked woman lingered holding an umbrella. She looked like a water ghost coming for revenge, which was equally eye-catching - where could she go? She even went into a convenience store to buy a pack of masks.
It's impossible to do that. You have to know that the next person who sees her may not be as kind as the last lady boss.
How do you get into a hotel without arousing suspicion?
There were few people walking through the back door of the hotel, which was connected to a quiet alley. Xie Feng hid under the trees in the alley to avoid shivering under the heavy raindrops.
There were several cars parked close to the alley near the door. The one in the front was obviously a plainclothes surveillance officer - the driver was sitting alone in the car, staring at the road in boredom, only thanking him.
When Feng came closer, he became slightly vigilant and glanced at her several times.
Xie Feng's heart was beating so fast that it was about to explode.
I don't know whether it was because of the cold or nervousness, but she couldn't even hold the umbrella, and she couldn't stop shaking even though she clenched her fists. When she approached the plainclothes car, without saying a word, she reached out to pull the passenger door.
At that time, she even wondered if there was something wrong with her brain that made her do such a whimsical thing.
The car door was indeed locked, but she didn't open it.
The plainclothes man seemed to be stunned. He probably didn't expect that a woman would suddenly come up and open his car door without saying a word. Before he could react, Xie Feng raised his hand, knocked on the window a few times, and shouted
: "Open the door!"
After a pause for several seconds, the car window slowly lowered to a crack, as if even the car was soaked in the owner's hesitation.
"What are you doing?" the plainclothes man asked with vigilance, "who are you?"
Xie Feng was always standing in the rain, which meant that she was always holding an umbrella, which could cover half of her face. In addition, she was standing on the passenger side and did not bend down completely. Therefore, the plainclothes man did not realize that the person outside the car was
Women are wanted criminals.
"You are the driver who came to pick me up," Xie Feng complained in a series of rapid fire, and immediately blurted out: "What's going on? Why are you not punctual at all? Look at what time I made an appointment. This
It has been delayed for more than ten minutes. I have been waiting in such heavy rain for more than ten minutes and I am completely soaked! Please open the door quickly. Do you have any tissues in the car? "
Her nervousness did have its benefits, as she spoke much faster, and it seemed reasonable to say she was angry.
"No, no!" The plainclothes man waved his hands twice in the car, obviously trying to explain that he was not the private car driver she had appointed; but Xie Feng took the risk and came here, but there was a task to be completed - the message she was supposed to output,
The output is not finished yet.
"It's been ten minutes. Really, the location you mentioned on the phone is not accurate at all. I came out of the hotel on time and walked around the hotel several times without finding you. I just kept soaking in the rain! Look at me.
I fell into the river. Some people would believe me if I fell into the river!" She pretended not to hear what the plainclothes said, and finished what she needed to say in one go.
"I told you I'm not the driver here to pick you up," the plainclothes man became impatient and his tone was a little bad, "You can look for it somewhere else!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the car window was closed again.
Listening to the sound of rain hitting the earth, Xie Feng paused and then turned around.
Only then did she dare to exhale a long, trembling breath, unable to believe that she had actually successfully passed the first level.
She walked away from the car, turned her back to the car, and looked around for a while, as if she was really waiting for someone.
Feeling that the heat was almost done, Xie Feng gritted his teeth, turned and walked towards the back door of the hotel, and strode into the hotel under the gaze of the plainclothes man.
When I turned the corner, I looked out of the corner of my eye and saw that he didn't seem to be moving.
...Also, the car that the hotel guest was waiting for didn't come, and he went back in a rage. There seems to be nothing wrong, right?
Xie Feng was so nervous that his mind began to wander, as if everything was not real anymore.
She couldn't explain why. When she entered, her eyes caught the camera in the corner of the ceiling of the foyer. In a flash of light, Xie Feng, who was about to put away his umbrella, naturally tilted it and clamped it on his neck and shoulders.
Suddenly, the umbrella slid down until it was pressed against the back of her head, completely covering her face and blocking the camera's "sight".
As the umbrella slid off his shoulders, Xie Feng squatted down and pretended to tie his shoelaces with both hands.
While she was untying and tying her shoelaces, she quietly looked at the hotel from under the umbrella, and her heart suddenly thumped.
At the other end of the foyer, connected to the hotel lobby, stood a porter wearing a hotel uniform - next to him was a man in civilian clothes with a sullen expression.
There is more than just this person; if you scan from a distance, you will find that there are two or three men in casual clothes standing at the main entrance of the hotel lobby and at the door of the elevator room. They should be security guards. There is even one hanging next to the front desk in the distance, as if
The dog, which could not walk far on a leash, was wandering around the front desk.
This is bad.
She didn't think carefully. She saw someone watching outside the door and knew that the hotel staff would definitely cooperate with the instructions. However, she didn't expect so many security guards to be placed in the lobby - this is a mistake only people from Tears City make:
Logically speaking, the hotel is private property, and public authorities must obtain a court order to enter, but she forgot that the City of Tears is no longer the City of Tears it used to be.
... Such strict security measures are probably not to catch a fugitive who, according to common sense, would probably not come back, right?
It was as if every hair on Xie Feng's body had turned into a small antenna. Even under the umbrella, she seemed to be able to feel the gaze of the plain-clothed security guard directed at her.
"Are you a hotel guest?" The porter greeted her from afar, "Can you please show your room card and state your room number..."
As soon as she raised the umbrella, the tall, muscular man with a sinewy face had turned around, his eyes were focused on her, waiting for her to put away the umbrella and walk over.
It is impossible to turn around and go out at this time.
Xie Feng was completely cold, as if all the warmth had been taken away by the rain, leaving only a lump of regret like ice cubes, weighing heavily in his lower abdomen.
In the end, they didn't catch him, but he took the initiative to deliver it to his door.
...It seems that I can't escape being arrested, so let's do whatever it takes.
Xie Feng knew very well that after being soaked in the rain, her skin turned white and was closer to how it looked a year ago - she really shouldn't have poured hot coffee on her that day, she should have poured sulfuric acid on it.
Think about it, rising dozens of meters into the air from her head is Dongluorong.
There is only half a minute of elevator between them; in another world, on another timeline, they might be able to take the elevator whenever they want, meet whenever they want, hold hands, chat and laugh on the pedestrian street, and share things.
A box of octopus balls and a view of the endless blue sea.
If she was going to be arrested sooner or later, it would be ideal to be arrested so close to her. She would always know that Xie Feng had come back in the future.
Xie Feng's heart was almost desperate, but her body was still stalling for time, as if there was still luck in her muscles. She turned half sideways, slowly closed the umbrella, and shook the water - at this moment, there was a sudden sound from the other end of the hall.
Someone called out: "Hey, come and get a condom to put it on! It's hard to get water all over the floor."
Xie Feng was startled and realized that he was calling her. She followed the sound and found that there was a cleaning lady in the corner. It seemed that she was worried about the floor tiles in rainy days. Beside her, there was a roll of bags used to hold umbrellas.
.
"Oh, okay," she responded, walking towards the female worker, and said to the bellboy without looking back, "Wait for me!"
Xie Feng lowered his head, and his wet hair fell down from his cheeks, not knowing whether it had the effect of blocking his eyes. The female worker didn't care what she looked like at all, she only cared that she had put the umbrella on properly so as not to stain the freshly wiped umbrella.
Floor——Xie Feng had another thing to do to delay time, and slowly put the condom on.
In fact, she was completely soaked, and she didn't need this umbrella. The female worker looked at her soaked shoes and didn't look happy either. Xie Feng suddenly had an idea.
When she put on her umbrella and finally walked towards the porter and security guard, she lowered her head while taking her wallet and room card from her pocket.
The most important thing is that your attitude must be natural at this time.
"1702," she reported a room number casually before she walked in front of the two of them. "Does it take a long time to check? My shoes are soaked. I want to go back to the room early and change them."
"No, it won't be long," the Mr. Li said, still smiling.
The moment she was about to hand the room card to Mr. Li, Xie Feng pretended to slip and lost his balance, throwing himself to the ground. The two of them were shocked; the Mr. Li hurriedly came up to help him.
, the security soldiers did not move anywhere.
When the clerk held her arm and helped her stand up, he naturally helped her block the gaze of some security guards. Xie Feng quickly took a breath of cold air, covered half of his face with one hand, and locked the room card with the other hand.
I gave it to the bellman, who mumbled out in pain: "I hit my chin and my face. It hurts so much... Can I leave?"
This is really not a clever idea. If the other party still recognizes her, she is guaranteed to become the laughingstock of the entire security department in the second half of the year.
The security guard's gaze swept several times over half of her face, which was half covered and the other half distorted by "pain."
After all, a year has passed, and Xie Feng knows very well that he has lost weight, become darker, and has a completely different hairstyle. Because he was beaten by a group of security soldiers, his nose bones are still a little deformed. Besides, the photos are not clear enough.
"Where are the documents?" the man asked, "show me."
"I didn't bring it with me. How about I take it off later." Xie Feng's tears come at every turn - she has been like this for the past two years. She can cry at any time if she wants to, and she can burst into tears after a while.
Yes, her face was all red, and she could feel her facial features being distorted so much. "It hurts so much. Can I leave?"
The man frowned deeply.
When men see women crying - especially when they cry ugly or hysterically - they always tend to avoid her.
When Xie Feng's heart was tightly grasped, the security guard raised his chin impatiently and said, "Let's go."
