A charming and dangerous character

Unit 7, Building [-].

Cheng Ye was facing the memo, and then looked at the paint-peeled sign above the door, it should be right here.

This is an old-fashioned residential building that has been built for a long time. There are no elevators for the three households on the first floor. The corridors are full of various things-bicycles, cement bags, clay jars for pickling pickles and even potted onions planted by the residents themselves.

Although the awareness of fire protection needs to be improved, it is indeed full of the fireworks of ordinary life.

Following the steps, Cheng Ye went up one level at a time, and finally stood in front of the blue anti-theft door of Panpan brand in House 602.

He is wearing a gray collared jacket and black trousers today. He is dressed more solemnly than usual. He is holding a colorful fruit basket in his left hand and a box of Chuyuan given by the patient in his right hand. There was a layer of cold sweat, and I felt uneasy like never before.

In fact, it has not been long since Cheng Ye visited the patient last time, that is, a few weeks ago, he also visited Qiu Chuyi's father in the Provincial Prison Hospital - every time he went to visit Qiu Chuyi's father, he could only stand outside, separated by a distance Looking through the glass to see him lying there quietly; but now Cheng Ye has a thousand words in his heart, but he is afraid that he will not know where to start the moment he sees someone.

After thinking about it, Cheng Ye still put all his things on the ground, trimmed his hair, and finally reached out to ring the doorbell.

There was a sound of slippers stepping on the tiles soon, and it was getting closer, followed by a loud female voice. Before opening the door, she asked, "Who is it?"

Cheng Ye guessed that the person who came was either Zhao Yiwei's wife or another female relative, so he stood up, put on a proper posture in front of the cat, and responded politely: "Hi, I'm Captain Zhao's colleague, Cheng Ye from D City Branch .I heard that Captain Zhao was ill, so I came here to have a look..."

"Oh, it turned out to be a colleague from the Old Zhao Police Station! Please come in, please come in!" Zhao Yiwei's wife immediately wanted to open the door for him, but she didn't want to suddenly get angry and want to stop him.

"Don't open the door for him! I'm on sick leave now, no visitors!"

Cheng Ye also heard what Zhao Yiwei said, and stood stiffly at the door, but Zhao Yiwei's wife finally invited Cheng Ye in.

She motioned for Cheng Ye to sit on the sofa, and whispered: "Xiao Cheng, don't mind, my old Zhao has such a bad temper."

Cheng Ye shook his head and smiled to show that he didn't care.

Just when Zhao Yiwei's wife went into the house to persuade Zhao Yiwei to come out, Cheng Ye simply looked at the square world in the house—although the area is not large, it is like a sparrow's internal organs, and the furniture is complete and warmly arranged.In fact, it can be felt from the eyes of Zhao Yiwei's wife that she is a woman with a gentle temper and a good personality.

Cheng Ye also noticed a family portrait on the TV cabinet, besides Zhao Yiwei and his wife, there was also a girl with a very sweet smile.

"This is my daughter." Only Zhao Yiwei's wife came out of the house by herself. She smiled embarrassedly and explained to Cheng Ye: "Old Zhao doesn't know what's wrong this time, his temper has become more and more serious these two days. Strange. It’s not that he doesn’t come out to see you on purpose. Even our mother and I are not allowed to enter that house these days, and we don’t come out for dinner. Unless we go out to the bathroom, we usually can’t see him, and we don’t know that he is there. What's the fuss about that?"

Cheng Ye smiled awkwardly, feeling an indescribably uncomfortable feeling in his heart, feeling his chest sore and swollen—obviously Zhao Yiwei didn’t let his family know that he might be infected with AIDS—he put himself in his shoes and thought, if it was him If you know the result, you should not tell your family, and you will also isolate yourself.

Zhao Yiwei's wife had a good impression of this good-looking and polite boy. Seeing that Cheng Ye brought so many things, but old Zhao didn't want to show off his face, so she planned to make a pot of good tea for her: "I still brought so many things. You are too polite! Hey, Xiaocheng, what kind of tea do you drink? My family has raw Pu and cooked Pu, which one do you usually like to drink?"

Cheng Ye hurriedly stopped Zhao Yiwei's wife from making tea: "You're welcome! I'm here to deliver something to Team Zhao, so you don't have to work." He stood up and said, "Since Team Zhao is in a bad mood today, why not?" I will come to visit another day. There is still something to do in the team, so I will leave first."

"Don't leave in such a hurry, Xiao Cheng!" Zhao Yiwei's wife didn't dare to stay when he said something happened, and said angrily, "This old Zhao doesn't know what he is doing in the house!"

Walking to the door, Cheng Ye declined: "You don't need to send it anymore, I'm sure I'll come to see Team Zhao again in a few days, just don't think I'm bothering you then."

"How is it possible!" Zhao Yiwei's wife smiled, "Don't be as knowledgeable as my old Zhao. I have spent half my life with him. This man is not very capable but has a very stubborn temper. If he can't say it, he will definitely not come out to meet him. Yours. So don’t come here again, it will cost you so much to come here. He will go to work in two days, so you don’t have to come to see him again. "

Cheng Ye didn't answer, because he knew that he would definitely come again in a few days.

When he was about to go down the stairs, Zhao Yiwei's wife said again: "By the way, Xiao Cheng, I almost forgot! My old Zhao said just now that if you really want to help him, you might as well investigate the disappearance case for him. Said it was a bit eye-catching."

Speaking of this, the woman smiled embarrassedly: "This old man is worried about his few cases all day long, even when he is sick, he is still thinking about it at home every day!"

"He asked you to go around the Yetian Lake when you have time, and said that there are some clues there. It seems that the missing girl worked there before, and this girl even had a blue butterfly tattooed on her wrist."

Only then did Cheng Ye realize: No wonder he met Zhao Yiwei so coincidentally at Yetianchi last time.

It turned out that he was investigating the missing woman case that was exposed by the media that day and attracted the attention of many people.

When I came out of Zhao Yiwei's house, the sky outside was almost completely dark.

Autumn in northern cities has short days and long nights. Obviously, there was not much time wasted just now, but when Cheng Ye looked at his watch, it was still nearly eight o'clock.

He originally planned to go back to the police station to continue looking for clues to the "Eleventh Two" case, but now that he was entrusted by Zhao Yiwei, Cheng Ye stopped a taxi by the side of the road and said to the master, "Please go to the taxi!" Ye Tianchi."

"Come on!" The master is also a straightforward person, and before Cheng Ye could sit still, he kicked the accelerator and blasted out.

Seeing from a distance, there was still a distance from Yetian Lake, Cheng Ye signaled to stop in advance, but the master saw that the car meter was still tens of meters away before he could jump another word, and his face was a little unhappy.

So Cheng Ye quickly took out 20 yuan from his pocket, stuffed it into the center console, and even said: "This money is all for you, so you don't need to look for it."

Then, he directly manually pulled out the child lock on the door. Although the car was still sliding, he looked like he was about to jump off the car, which scared the master to step on the emergency brake.

After Cheng Ye ran far away, he could still hear the master complaining: "Young man, why are you in a hurry, you are not rushing to reincarnate..."

It wasn't that Cheng Ye was in a hurry and wanted to enter Yetian Lake quickly. There was only one reason for him to get off the car early: a man in a white shirt attracted all his attention in the direction straight ahead seven or eighty meters away.

It was a simple white shirt, and the tailoring was only a little more high-end than others, but it was different when worn on the man in front. Under the illumination of the street lamps on both sides, it seemed to be the most perfect dress.

The man in front of him was tall, with slender legs, and his shoulder-to-hip ratio was even more perfect than ordinary people—Cheng Ye whistled frivolously in his heart, that man was Qiu Chuyi who hadn't seen him for a long time.

Only this evildoer can wear white so beautifully, so otherworldly.

But what Cheng Ye thought next was: Why is he here?

Obviously, Qiu Chuyi walked up the steps now, as if he was about to enter Yetian Lake.

However, Yetian Lake is located near the train station, and it is not a short distance from Qiu Chuyi's company or Qiu Chuyi's home.

Could it be that Qiu Chuyi has something to do with Ye Tianchi?

Cheng Ye's eyes darkened, and he was not sure about this person's real purpose.In the end, he decided to follow Qiu Chuyi secretly to see what he was doing here.

But the people in Yetianchi are probably already familiar with Cheng Ye's face, so he still has to pretend to be able to act conveniently.

At this time, he suddenly saw a newsstand in front of him. He walked over quickly to buy a newspaper, and folded it while no one was paying attention, and quietly stuffed it into the shoulder of the jacket—this is the fastest way to change your figure in disguise.

Then he saw a hat seller at the stall next door, and bought it again.Fortunately, it is night now, and most people can't see his real appearance clearly after wearing the hat.

So Cheng Ye swaggered up to the steps in front of Yetian Lake, the waiters on both sides did not recognize him, and they all greeted Mr. Hi in unison.

Cheng Ye was about to walk in proudly, but the hairs on his back suddenly stood up like thorns.

It's not like being blown by the wind, but rather like the uncomfortable feeling of being secretly watched - Cheng Ye immediately thought of the idiom: the mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind.

Perhaps while he was following Qiu Chuyi, someone else was following him.

He immediately stopped and looked around, but he didn't see anyone suspicious.Then I went down the steps to have a look, and the surrounding pedestrians also passed by normally, only the waiter at the door saw Cheng Ye going up and down like a monkey, and was quite puzzled about it.

Unevenness is where the reflected light comes from.Cheng Ye thought that it might be because he has been following others for a long time, and he has become sensitive.

In order not to arouse the waiter's suspicion, Cheng Ye quickly patted the back of his head, lowered his voice and pretended to say, "It looks like him, why does he disappear in a blink of an eye..."

Hearing the sincerity of Cheng Ye's tone, the waiter had no doubts about him. He took it for granted that the guest just mistook an acquaintance just now, and warmly welcomed him in again.

"Sir, welcome to Yetian Lake!" The waiters on both sides said like singing: "One male guest!"

Cheng Ye, who grew up in the north, naturally knows that the bathing center at night is called the real bathing center.

After dark, the night sky pool is really different from the daytime scene, like a nocturnal animal, only pure darkness can wake up this sleeping beast.

The bustling and bustling scene of people coming and going almost made Cheng Ye lose Qiu Chuyi.

At this moment, Qiu Chuyi was about to go upstairs. Although there was no one else in the elevator, Cheng Ye still stopped a long way away, and only quietly wrote down the last floor displayed on the screen.

So a few minutes later, Cheng Ye also came to the seventh floor.

The first floor of Yetian Pool is a public bath, and the high-end single rooms are on the third and sixth floors. Besides the eighth floor, which is not easy to receive guests, the rest of the floors are only used for massage or rest.

Cheng Ye reached out to stop a waiter and asked, "The gentleman in the white shirt just now, which room do you think he entered?"

The waiter didn't dare to reveal the privacy of the guest easily, so Cheng Ye was afraid that he would not believe him, so he said, "I'm his friend, I just went to the toilet in a hurry to urinate, and I forgot to ask him the room number."

The waiter was still skeptical, but seeing Cheng Ye's sincere expression, he finally pointed to the right to show him: "The gentleman just entered Room 705."

After Cheng Ye thanked the waiter, he turned around and went to the first floor.

There was no way to go in directly and he couldn't squat at the door, so he wanted to ask the front desk to open a room opposite 705: "Please open room 707 for me."

"Okay sir." The front desk replied happily: "The total is 3580, do you pay by card or cash?"

Cheng Ye was shocked, and immediately clicked his tongue: "Why is it so expensive?!" He almost opened his mouth and swallowed the front desk's head: "Does the Industrial and Commercial Bureau know your price? You are a black shop!"

However, the front desk clerk still replied respectfully: "The prices are all reported to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Sir, you can check it at will. Moreover, our private rooms on the seventh floor are positioned as high-end, and each room comes with a room opening fruit plate and service gifts."

Cheng Ye didn't want to waste time, so he took out his credit card and handed it over with great heartache.I thought to myself, I don't know if the money can be reimbursed, but he still told me: "Don't forget to give me a bill later..."

But when he walked into 707, he found that although the view was good, there seemed to be no one on the other side, and there was no one at the door for a long time.

I don't know who else is in 705 besides Qiu Chuyi.

Just when Cheng Ye was still feeling sorry for the three thousand five hundred and eight that was sent out with a brush, and doubted whether it was worth the money, the door of Room 707 was suddenly knocked.

Soon a curvaceous waiter girl in a revealing but not overly half-concealed suit came in with an oversized fruit plate.

Seeing that she put down the fruit plate but had no intention of going out, Cheng Ye worried that she would delay him from observing the other side, so he asked, "Why don't you go out?"

"Sir—" But he didn't want the little girl to wink at him, the expression on her heavily made-up face could be said to be hesitant to say:

"I'm the service that was offered as a gift."
