Anecdotes about the Seine

([-]) Conspiracy to hide

It was close to midnight.A figure appeared furtively next to a hospital at the end of Sifang Street, looked around to make sure no one was following him, and then walked in quietly.

What she didn't see was that not far away, another person was holding his hands, looking at her figure with a half-smile, and followed him in.

Feng Xinduo has been with Lu Ting for a while.When she came out of the dumpling shop just now, she found out where Lu Ting had escaped without much effort.However, Feng Xinduo did not rush up to stop her immediately, but quietly followed behind.Originally, she thought that Lu Ting would go straight back to her residence, so that she could know the other party's stronghold and find someone in the future; but what she didn't expect was that the first place Lu Ting came to after she got rid of Feng Xinduo was actually It is this hospital.

Feng Xinduo suppressed his curiosity, and saw Lu Ting go to the end of the corridor with ease, and went straight into a ward.After staying for a while, he came out again, followed by a doctor with a serious face.Feng Xinduo hid quickly, and then heard the conversation between Lu Ting and the doctor.

"I'll take care of this month's expenses right away." Lu Ting's voice changed from the previously flamboyant and meaningless, to a pleading tone, "Please give me a few more days."

The doctor sighed and said, "You don't need to worry about the hospitalization fee, but you can't wait for the operation. The situation of the elderly is not good now, the sooner the operation is done, the less dangerous it will be."

Feng Xinduo poked her head out quietly, and saw Lu Ting frowning tightly, bit her lip, and lowered her head.Feng Xinduo thought to himself, no wonder this person has been trying to find ways to make money. It turns out that there is a patient who needs to be taken care of.

When she looked over again, she found that Lu Ting had raised her head, with a firm light shining in her eyes. "I'll get it done," she said bluntly. "The preparations for the operation can begin. I'll definitely be able to pay for it."

Then she began to discuss the details of the operation with the doctor, listening to the doctor's instructions, she kept nodding, with a serious and serious expression, as if she was trying to keep all the details in her heart.Feng Xinduo looked at her and wondered if she really had the means to pay the expensive surgery fee, although this person seemed very confident.

But after the doctor nodded and left, Feng Xinduo saw that Lu Ting's body softened and leaned against the wall, and a moment of confusion and helplessness flashed in her eyes.She stooped slowly, covered her face with her hands, and let out a long sigh.For a moment, Feng Xinduo thought she was crying, but she didn't.Soon, she raised her head, and the firm and optimistic look returned to her eyes.

After Lu Ting walked out of the hospital, Feng Xinduo continued to follow her. Sure enough, this time she walked to a row of low-rise bungalows close to the suburbs, took out the key, and opened the door of one of them. It was obvious that this was where she lived.Feng Xinduo watched her go in helplessly, and he could see the lit lights from the window, which had been on for a long, long time.She could have gone straight to the door and knocked, or simply barged in, but she hesitated.

If it was before, according to her personality, she would definitely have taken her down in the hospital.When she was in school, Feng Xinduo was known for her calmness and rationality, her emotions rarely had big waves, and she never let her feelings affect her judgment.But obviously, there is something inexplicable about the woman in front of her, which seems to have touched the insensitive nerve in her heart, making her unable to bear to treat her with any rough actions.

It's really strange, what is the reason?Is it because of those alert, alert deer-like eyes?Is it because of that cute, fang-toothed smile?Is it because of her strength in front of others and her fragility alone?Or is it because of her not-so-good background, and her carefree optimism and stubbornness in stark contrast?

She hesitated just now, watching the light go out.He must have fallen asleep, she thought.I'm afraid this person has experienced an extremely tossing day today, why not come to her tomorrow and let her have a good rest.

Feng Xinduo was about to leave, but suddenly smelled a strange smell, like something burnt.Then, she saw an unusual cluster of flames flashing suddenly in the darkness of Lu Ting's room.Then it dawned on her that, oops, something happened.There was a fire in that room.

She immediately ran towards the door of the room in three steps at a time, and just after running a few steps, she saw a black shadow flashing past from the side. "Who?!" she yelled, but the man was gone.She couldn't go after it, because the fire in the room was getting bigger and bigger, and someone was still inside.She rushed to the door quickly and kicked hard at the keyhole of the door. Fortunately, the door lock of this bungalow was of poor quality, and it broke as soon as she kicked it, and the door opened.

Feng Xinduo rushed in, and found that the man was still paralyzed on the bed, motionless, and the fire had already started from the desk, and it was about to burn him.

"Why don't you wake up after this?" Feng Xinduo yelled anxiously, and rushed over, only to realize that this person was not asleep, but passed out - Lu Ting closed her eyes tightly, and there was still blood dripping from her forehead It flowed down, and it was obvious that someone hit her head hard.

Feng Xinduo could only do her best to carry the unconscious person on her back, but she was too thin to carry it at all.There was no other way, so she had to pull and pull, and after a lot of effort, she dragged the man out of the room and dragged him all the way to the tree in the distance.Two people collapsed on the lawn.

As soon as the midnight cold wind blew, Lu Ting woke up leisurely, and saw Feng Xinduo with a smoky and disheveled face in front of her, she was startled at first, and then covered her head in pain.

"What's going on here?" She grinned and rubbed her head, while raising her head and asked in doubt, just happened to see her house burning in the distance, and she was so frightened that she couldn't speak: "Ah, this, this ..."

Feng Xinduo was so tired that he was out of breath at this time, and said angrily: "Now you should tell the truth, right? What kind of information did you collect so that those people not only killed the senior brother, but also killed you before you let go of your eloquence?" !"

Lu Ting was taken aback, and immediately realized that Feng Xinduo's deduction was not wrong.Looking at the flames in the distance, her expression gradually became serious—she finally realized the seriousness of the problem.So, Lu Ting coughed lightly, sat up straight, and said, "This matter, it's actually like this..."

However, at this moment, Feng Xinduo suddenly covered her mouth, looked around alertly, and said in a low voice, "Go to a safe place first, and then we'll talk about it."

"Where are you going?" Lu Ting looked bewildered.

"My place."

In Feng Xinduo's dormitory, the two of them simply washed up and changed into clean clothes.Lu Ting put on Feng Xinduo's fitness suit, which unexpectedly fit her.Loose fitness short sleeves and shorts were put on her body, revealing her slender arms and calves.Because the makeup was removed, Feng Xinduo was able to see her original appearance: white, so white that it reflects the light; thin, so thin that it makes people feel distressed.Even without makeup, her facial features are quite good-looking, with two deer-like eyes rolling around, vigilantly looking at the various furnishings in Feng Xinduo's dormitory.

Feng Xinduo saw Lu Ting sitting carelessly on a chair, wiping her newly wet hair with a towel.The rose studs on the ears have been taken off, one on the left and one on the right, and they are placed on the desk next to them.For some reason, Feng Xinduo just felt that the person in front of her exuded a special sense of youth, which made her smile involuntarily.

Lu Ting's eyes turned around the room for a long time, and finally turned back, just in time to meet Feng Xinduo's gaze, so both of them blushed slightly.Feng Xinduo coughed, and his expression became serious: "What is the information that senior brother asked you to collect?"

Lu Ting threw the towel aside, crossed her legs on the chair, frowned slightly, and said solemnly: "This matter is a long story."

Feng Xinduo pulled another chair over, sat on it by himself, just happened to face Lu Ting, and said, "Speak, speak slowly."

Only then did Lu Ting speak in detail.It turned out that she and Cheng Wei had been in contact as early as two years ago. Lu Ting provided Cheng Wei with a lot of information about gang activities and helped him make a lot of contributions.However, most of the previous reports were about gang fights, gambling, smuggling, etc., which were not very serious cases, so nothing major happened.

Until the last month, Cheng Wei's visits to her suddenly became more frequent.It turned out that in a small case he handled before, there were signs of drugs flowing in City C.Cheng Wei immediately reported this information to his superiors as he was facing a big enemy, so the case was transferred to another more experienced police officer.Cheng Wei originally thought that the case would be investigated smoothly, but what he didn't expect was that the case was quickly closed. The superior claimed that the source of circulation was not in this city and had been transferred to another jurisdiction for handling.However, Cheng Wei later discovered that the drug traffic in City C became more and more rampant.Suspicious, he decided to investigate himself.

Due to the rampant gang activities in City C, and the distribution of drugs is generally inseparable from gang activities, it is unlikely that the crime was committed alone, so Cheng Wei found Lu Ting.Lu Ting is a know-it-all on the street. She knows everything about the organizations in C City, the status of the people in the organizations, and the relationship between the organizations.Cheng Wei came to Lu Ting to ask her to pay attention to the people in the gang who might be related to the drug trade, and to make a related list for him.

After a lot of effort, Lu Ting finally found out about half of the people involved. Although the list may not be complete, at least it can be guaranteed that all of the above people must be related to drug crimes.As for how the list was obtained, she briefly explained it without going into details, but Feng Xinduo guessed that this process must not be simple, and may even be very dangerous.

But she kept this idea in her heart and didn't say it, because the person in front of her didn't seem willing to share it.So Feng Xinduo asked: "Where is the list now?"

Lu Ting replied: "I went to the transit point to see it before, but it's gone. It should be taken away by Cheng Wei."

Feng Xinduo couldn't help being a little disappointed, so he asked again: "Then do you remember?"

To her surprise, Lu Ting curled her lips and said, "Of course, my memory is very good. I will write another copy for you now."

When Lu Ting was writing the list stroke by stroke on the table, Feng Xinduo looked at her quietly.Lu Ting's eyes were focused on the paper, she looked very serious, her brows were furrowed from time to time, obviously she was thinking and remembering.A lock of her hair hangs over her forehead, and with the swing of her head, it goes up and down, a little blocking her view.Feng Xinduo suddenly had an urge to reach out and gently pin the strand of hair behind her ear for her, but she resisted the urge and just looked at her, as if admiring a beautiful and fragile painting.It's just that the herringbone writing is too ugly, which somewhat destroys the artistic conception of the painting.

Thinking of this, Feng Xinduo couldn't help laughing out loud.

Seeing her inexplicable smile, Lu Ting raised her eyebrows suspiciously, but she also smiled, showing her white fangs: "Why, what are you laughing at?"

Feng Xinduo quickly restrained her smile: "It's okay, you can write it." But after a pause, she couldn't help asking: "It must have taken a lot of effort for you to get this list."

Lu Ting didn't raise her head, she was still writing, and she seemed to reply casually: "It's very difficult. There have been several times, it's really dangerous, and I almost took my life."

She said this calmly, but Feng Xinduo felt a "thump" in her heart.She couldn't imagine how dangerous it was, but when she remembered the bruises on her arm when she was peeping at the food stall yesterday, she couldn't help but think, a debt collector is so vicious, let alone a criminal involved in drug dealing?

So Feng Xinduo couldn't help asking again: "Why did you do such a dangerous thing?"

At this time, Lu Ting raised her head and gave her a noncommittal look, as if she was looking at a fool: "You want to make money, you want to survive, big sister! If you're on the street, if you don't want to do a certain job, you have to find another job." Way."

What kind of job is "some kind of job"?Feng Xinduo wanted to continue asking, but in fact, if she didn't ask, as smart as her, she could guess the answer more or less.It's just that how this person lives on the street is beyond question, and it's not easy to ask, but when it comes to the patients she has to take care of, the answer is more or less ready to come out.So she didn't continue to ask, but looked at Lu Ting and said softly: "You must have worked hard for so many years."

Hearing this, the pen in Lu Ting's hand visibly froze for a moment, as if she froze.She didn't look up, but Feng Xinduo keenly felt that something must have changed in her downcast eyes.Sure enough, when Lu Ting raised her head again, although she was still smiling, there was obviously some mist in her eyes, shining brightly.

But she was still smiling, and asked seemingly meaninglessly: "Little policeman, do you know what is the most important thing in the streets?"

Feng Xinduo didn't know, so: "What is it? Loyalty? Bravery?"

Lu Ting put out a finger and shook it seriously, shook her head and said, "It's not." She looked at Feng Xinduo with a smile: "It's the desire to survive."

Feng Xinduo was a little puzzled: "Desire to survive?"

"That's right." Lu Ting smiled, "Do you understand? It's that kind of thing, no matter what happens, no matter what problem there is, you will find a way to survive and solve the problem, even if it is painful, even if it is difficult. Violation of some principles."

Seeing that Feng Xinduo still looked puzzled, she added, "I am the person with the strongest desire to survive. Even at the end of the world, people like me will find a way to survive to the end."

Then she said, "Forget it, you won't understand this kind of thing."

To be honest, Feng Xinduo may not fully understand.But looking at the person in front of him humming a song briskly and scribbling intently on the paper, he doesn't look like a person who just escaped from the flames.Then she suddenly felt that she seemed to understand a little bit.

"Here, this is the list." Lu Ting closed the pen cap and handed the paper to Feng Xinduo.

Feng Xinduo took it over and glanced at it briefly. They were all common names, and she hardly knew them.She suddenly remembered something, put the piece of paper aside, and said to Lu Ting: "You promised brother to do this to raise money for the surgery, right?"

Lu Ting's face changed: "How do you know?"

Feng Xinduo smiled awkwardly and said, "I saw you when you went to the hospital just now."

Lu Ting's face changed, and Feng Xinduo was sure that he saw a moment of anger and shame, as if he didn't want her to see this vulnerable side.But Lu Ting's expression quickly returned to normal.She didn't answer Feng Xinduo's question directly, but said lightly: "It doesn't matter, anyway, he is no longer here, and this deal is void."

Feng Xinduo said, "How much do you need? I'll make up for my brother."

Lu Ting was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled: "You are a police officer who just graduated, right? This money should come from the police station's funds, not from your own money."

Feng Xinduo said: "It's okay, I have money."

"Yeah, you have money." Lu Ting smiled lightly, but still rejected it flatly: "Let's wait until you can apply for funding."

Feng Xinduo did not give up: "The surgery..."

Lu Ting interrupted her: "This is my own business, I will find a way."

She refused so simply and resolutely that the conversation between the two of them could no longer continue.Feng Xinduo opened his mouth, not knowing what to say, so he looked a little embarrassed.She had no choice but to pick up the list and pretend to read it, so as to alleviate the embarrassing atmosphere.

Looking at the list again, she suddenly felt that there seemed to be a place she was familiar with, but she couldn't tell where it was.At this moment, a bolt of lightning suddenly flashed across her mind.Wait, I seem to have left out an important piece of information.

At the food stall yesterday, she heard a sentence in the conversation between Lu Ting and Cheng Wei: "There are two people on the list that I don't know, and they are not members of the organization."

The brother's reaction at that time was very strange, it seemed so terrified and worried, which made him unable to continue the meal and set off directly to deal with this matter.Could it be that……

Feng Xinduo immediately grabbed Lu Ting's shoulders and asked eagerly: "You said yesterday that two people on the list are not in the organization, what's going on?"

Lu Ting was taken aback by her, and explained: "I heard these two names when I eavesdropped on the phone call of a small boss. The help of the two people seemed to provide some information, but I didn’t understand the specifics. But since they mentioned it, it must be related to the case, so I will write it down.”

Feng Xinduo put the list in front of her: "Can you point out which two people they are?"

"Yes." Lu Ting picked up a pen and circled the names of two people on the list.

Feng Xinduo looked at the two names, and suddenly felt as if a basin of cold water was poured on his head, and his whole body seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, with goose bumps all over his body, and cold sweat came out.

Those two names read: "Sun Qifang, Zhou Bai".

No wonder when she scanned the list just now, for a moment, she felt that some names were very familiar.

These two names, one is Sun Ju and the other is Xiao Zhou.

No wonder the senior brother died, no wonder the informant was hunted down.The ghost is in the police station!
