Hua Nianping ordered a mutton pot and a dumpling from the restaurant owner, urging them to hurry up. The boss said that the mutton was not cooked in the pot and the dumplings had to be made fresh, but it would not take too long.
While they were talking, another young man and woman entered the restaurant and sat at another table next to Hua Nianping. Hua Nianping took out his wallet to pay the bill to the restaurant owner. The owner attentively said that it would not be too late to pay the bill after he had eaten, and turned around
Entertain two guests who have just come in.
Hua Nianping put his wallet back into his breast pocket, tightly wrapped the new windbreaker Wu Ningfang bought him, and leaned against the wall behind him.
He originally wanted to simply relieve his tired body, but he leaned back and couldn't help but close his eyes. I don't know how long it took, if the restaurant owner hadn't woken him up, Hua Nianping felt that he would have
He kept sleeping like this.
I opened my eyes drowsily and saw that the mutton pots and dumplings were already placed in front of me. The four men and women in the restaurant were still playing mahjong, but the young man and woman sitting next to them had left at some point.
Hua Nianping just picked up the chopsticks, lowered his head and suddenly felt something strange in his chest.
He took a closer look under the dim light and saw that his coat had a cut more than ten centimeters long, his wallet was missing from his pocket, and the luggage around him was also missing.
"There's a thief!"
Hua Nianping exclaimed and ran out with a limp.
"Where to run!"
The restaurant owner shouted and rushed out of the restaurant following Hua Nianping.
But what Hua Nianping didn't expect was that the boss didn't go to help catch the thief, but grabbed Hua Nianping's collar and dragged him back to the restaurant. Because he used too much force, he actually pulled Hua Nianping's down jacket under his coat.
The collar was almost torn off.
But it turned out that the restaurant owner was on guard against Hua Nianping not paying for the meal and took the opportunity to sneak away.
At this time, the four men and women also put down their mahjong games and gathered around Hua Nianping.
Hua Nianping searched his whole body and only took out a few twenty yuan in loose banknotes. He said to the restaurant owner: "I'm sorry, I can't eat this meal. I encountered a thief, and this is all I have left."
The boss immediately screamed and said: "The food has been served, why do you ask me to throw it away?"
A group of people looked at him gloomily, with no sympathetic eyes.
Hua Nianping felt frightened, so he simply took off his windbreaker jacket and said, "I just put this on this morning, and now it has a big cut, and the wallet inside was stolen. My suitcase was also stolen.
, you all saw that what I brought in was also taken away by the thieves."
While he was talking, a few pieces of goose feathers in his down jacket flew out from the cracks and danced in the air as if begging everyone for mercy on his behalf.
The woman playing mahjong, who looked like the proprietress of a restaurant, grabbed Hua Nianping's trench coat and said, "I don't have any money, so use this to pay the bill."
Hua Nianping thought, luckily she didn't ask for the scarf around her neck, and calmly said to the woman, "Okay, I'll use my coat to pay the bill, but I have a condition, give me half a catty of wine. I bought a new trench coat."
, it’s worth your meal and half a pound of wine.”
The woman was very happy and immediately ordered her husband to take out a bottle of wine and put it in front of Hua Nianping. In just over ten minutes, Hua Nianping didn't take a few bites of the pot, and he didn't swallow a few dumplings.
He drank most of the bottle of wine on an empty stomach.
When Hua Nianping walked out of the restaurant drunkenly, although his head was not very clear, he immediately thought that he had to report the case to the police because the dispatch notice for him and the contact number of Zhang Guizhi's secretary were all stored in a bag in the suitcase.
.
Following the instructions of passers-by, he braved the rain and snow to find the station police station. The lights were on in the duty room, but the door was closed tightly. After knocking on the door for a long time, there was a man wearing a police uniform but without a police rank on his shoulder.
The young man opened the door and came out.
In this outfit, he is usually just a co-policeman.
The young man seemed to have been disturbed from his sweet dream. He didn't even allow Hua Nianping to enter the house, and asked unhappily: "It's midnight, what do you want?"
Hua Nianping said: "I'm here to report the crime."
The young man asked: "What case are you reporting?"
Hua Nianping said: "I was stolen."
The young man said indifferently "Oh" and said: "It was stolen. This happens every day at the station and there is no way to deal with it. You smell of alcohol. You must be drunk. If you don't steal, who will you steal? If you want to report it, you will do it tomorrow.
Come on, everyone in the office has been taken away to perform emergency tasks tonight."
Hearing what the young man said, Hua Nianping's head began to hurt, and he was worried that the wine he drank in the restaurant just now might be fake.
In desperation, he asked the young man to call 110 to call the police.
Unexpectedly, the young man became very impatient and said: "There is no police station to call 110. Even if you call 110, the police will be dispatched from the nearest place. It is not our turn to investigate the case at the station police station."
Hua Nianping thought that he had fallen to this point, but now he was really helpless and had no choice but to reveal his identity to the young man.
He said: "Then I have to tell you that I am the appointed commissioner of Enyuan Group who has just arrived in Huaishang City. Now I ask you to call the local authorities immediately and ask them to send someone here to pick me up."
Hua Nianping's words sounded firm, but in fact they seemed weak.
The person here actually claims to be a commissioner? What is the official title of a commissioner, but I have never heard of it.
The young man didn't even bother to doubt, and said with a strange smile: "Look at you, you are really drunk. You are no different from a beggar at the station begging for money. You dare to say that you are some kind of commissioner. I also said that I am the Minister of Railways."
The last hope was shattered. Hua Nianping immediately dropped half a height and wanted to say to the young man: "You blind guy, let's see if I can find the leaders of the police station one day and let them stand in front of me and treat you very badly."
It was a serious reprimand."
He felt that it was difficult for him to explain clearly to this young police officer. He regretted his stupidity and thought about his current desolate state. Who would think of him as a high-ranking commissioner? Besides, the departments above him were only tomorrow.
The official announcement will be made in the morning.
Hua Nianping left the station police station in frustration. The clothes around him were almost soaked by rain and snow, and the pain in his neck became more and more unbearable.
He was convinced that he had just drunk fake wine in the restaurant. He was cold and sleepy at the time, and his disabled left leg kept shaking. It seemed that he could no longer move, hoping to find a place to lie down his tired body.
He thought of the waiting hall not far away.
However, the security check at the station has become very strict now. It is absolutely impossible to sneak into the waiting hall without an ID card and a same-day ticket.
At this moment, a sister-in-law holding an umbrella came to Hua Nianping and asked: "Brother, are you staying in a hotel?"
Hua Nianping replied: "I only have a small amount of money on me and I don't have an ID card. Can I live here?"
The sister-in-law said: "We don't register ID cards. If you have a bed by yourself, just give me 30 yuan."
Hua Nianping said with disappointment: "I only have more than 20 yuan."
Unexpectedly, the sister-in-law said: "It's easy for you, just charge 20 yuan!"
Hua Nianping had never believed in Buddhism, but he felt that the sister-in-law in front of him was as kind and kind as Guanyin Bodhisattva, so he immediately followed her.
