Afraid

Chapter 23

On this day, Shang Qingyun returned to the dormitory very late.It was already one o'clock in the morning when he and Xiao Li finished sorting out the final materials.Most of the colleagues have gone back early, and there are two or three colleagues in the office who are working overtime. Shang Qingyun greeted a few people, rubbed his eyes and left the office.

As soon as he came out, he smelled the smell of food. He looked up and saw that Xu Shiyan and Xiao Liu were walking this way carrying a bag of packing boxes.

"Old Shang? Don't leave, don't leave, I bought food here, come and eat and then go back." Under the warm greeting of Team Xu, Shang Qingyun was dragged back again.

Working overtime and eating late at night, eating so much at night is actually not good for your health, but it's even more uncomfortable to be hungry if you don't eat.In fact, Shang Qingyun had been hungry for a long time, if he hadn't smelled the smell of the food that whetted his appetite again, he really wanted to fall asleep.

During the meal, Captain Xu asked about the progress of the investigations of each group. When he asked about Shang Qingyun, he heard that he and Xiao Li were progressing so fast. Xu Shiyan said in surprise: "You guys are too efficient. I will go with you."

Shang Qingyun said: "Tomorrow I will go to the Finance Department in the morning and the Orphanage in the afternoon. I'm afraid I don't have enough time, so I still have two days."

Team Xu said: "Why don't we ask Xiao Liu and Li to go to the bank tomorrow to verify the account information. I'll drive you to the orphanage in the northern suburbs?"

Shang Qingyun thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's fine."

……

Finally returned to the dormitory, Shang Qingyun went to bed and soon fell asleep.

When I got up the next morning, I was dragged into the car by Xu Shiyan as soon as I entered the office.Team Xu also handed him a paper bag, "Breakfast, make do in the car, save time."

Shang Qingyun has no objection. He has worked in criminal investigation for so many years, and he used to eat and sleep in the open. This is the first time he has felt the care of the organization. Shang Qingyun is quite content.

On the way, Team Xu said: "Before we go to the orphanage, let's go to the restaurant where Hu Hui worked. I found out this morning that the restaurant is still open, but the owner has been replaced by the old son. If the old man retreats now, he will be paralyzed."

"Understanding so clearly?"

Xu Dui smiled, "That's not it!"

Shang Qingyun also smiled.Xu Dui turned his head to look at him, saw that his tired face was still there, raised his hand to turn on the heater in the car, and said, "It's still an hour, if you're sleepy, go to sleep."

Shang Qingyun didn't refuse, Captain Xu had already spoken, he immediately shrank into the seat and closed his eyes.He was really sleepy. The kind of work intensity last night might be commonplace for young people like Xiao Li and the others, but for a middle-aged uncle like him, it was really too much for him.Therefore, he almost fell asleep after closing his eyes.

Seeing this, Captain Xu sighed imperceptibly.

The northern suburbs have also developed rapidly in recent years. Following the construction of the three new cities in the imperial capital, many buildings have been demolished and rebuilt.However, a 20-year-old restaurant like Zhang Ji Restaurant is considered a time-honored brand in the local area. Among the brand-new high-rise buildings, the simple and simple decoration style of the restaurant can be regarded as a highlight.Team Xu found it with almost no effort.

After parking the car at the gate of Zhangji Restaurant, Xu Shiyan woke up Shang Qingyun.As soon as the two got out of the car, Zhang Ji's waiter rushed out and asked, "Comrade policeman, do you want breakfast? Sorry, we're all sold out for breakfast."

"No, is your boss there? We have something to do with him." Team Xu said as he led Shang Qingyun inside.

As soon as the waiter heard that they were looking for the boss, he guessed that something might have happened. After all, the police never went to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing, so they didn't have time to talk to you for no reason.The waiter let people in, and hurriedly said: "He is not here now, I will call him, please wait a moment." He took out his mobile phone to dial.

The call was connected quickly, but after hearing what he said, the boss said: "Let them wait a while, I am in the hospital with the old man."

The waiter relayed the exact words. After listening to it, Team Xu stood up and asked, "Which hospital?"

Probably because of the scary look on Team Xu's face when he said this, the waiter was shocked and subconsciously revealed the name of the hospital. When he recovered, Team Xu drove away.He hurriedly called the boss again, but no one answered this time.

Beijiao Hospital, Inpatient Department of Rheumatology and Immunology.Zhang Zhishou stood in front of the hospital bed, looking worriedly at his old father on the bed.Doctors and nurses are surrounding the bed to check the condition.At this time, the ward was pushed away by the nurse at the guidance desk, who shouted, "Who is Zhang Zhi? Someone is looking for him."

Zhang Zhi quickly waved his hand: "I am." Then he turned his head and told his wife: "Look at our dad."

As soon as Zhang Zhi came out of the ward, he was stunned when he saw Dui Xu and Shang Qingyun in the corridor, especially when he saw the police uniform on Dui Xu, but he quickly remembered the phone call from the clerk before, and explained apologetically: " My dad is hospitalized, the police comrades are really embarrassed, and let you come here."

Xu Shiyan stretched out his hand to him, "Our case is also urgent, and we need to ask you to know more about the situation, forgive me."

"Where is it, what is it?" Zhang Zhi asked.

Xu Shiyan said, "Do you know Hu Hui?"

Zhang Zhi was stunned by this question again, the smile on his face was a little unnatural, and he subconsciously turned his head to look at his wife in the ward, and said in a low voice, "Shall we talk about it in another place?"

Xu Dui nodded, and led a few people to the open space outside the ward building. "Right here." He said, turning around.At the same time, as soon as his words fell, Shang Qingyun also took out a pen and a notebook for recording his confession, ready to record Zhang Zhi's words at any time.

Zhang Zhi smiled sadly, and said, "Hu Hui used to work in our restaurant, and she was only eighteen at that time..."

Back then, Hu Hui came out of the orphanage with no relatives, and all her belongings were a woven bag, which contained two sets of old clothes and a quilt.She urgently needs a place where she can settle down, but she doesn't know where she can find such a place in the vast crowd.When she was walking aimlessly on the street, she happened to see the recruitment notice of Zhangji Restaurant, so she walked in bravely.Hu Hui's appearance is very good, and she went to junior high school. In the [-]s, she was very popular when she came out to find a job with such conditions.

The boss at the time was Zhang Zhi's father, and after chatting with Hu Hui, he asked her to stay for a trial work that day.This is Hu Hui's first job. She works very hard, for fear that the boss will think that she is lazy and treacherous and dismiss her. Therefore, in addition to working as a waiter, she gets into the back kitchen whenever she is free, helping Zhang Zhi's mother at the time to cook and wash. bowl.

After a long time, Zhang Zhi's parents felt that this little girl was very capable, and after half a year, they gave her a salary increase.Originally, there was nothing later, and Hu Hui might have stayed in that small restaurant in the northern suburbs, because it wasn't long before Zhang Zhi's parents deliberately arranged for Hu Hui to fall in love with their son.Almost the tenth month after Hu Hui came to the restaurant, Hu Hui and Zhang Zhi confirmed their relationship as lovers.It's a pity that the good times didn't last long. Less than a month after the two officially fell in love, Zhang Zhi discovered that Hu Hui began to go back to the orphanage every week. Every time she went to the orphanage and came back, she was in a particularly bad mood.

Zhang Zhi felt that there was something wrong with this, and when Hu Hui returned to the orphanage next time, he asked to go back with Hu Hui, but Hu Hui refused.Hu Hui's expression was very flustered when she rejected Zhang Zhi, and in Zhang Zhi's view, it really looked like a guilty conscience.Because of this, he felt that there was something wrong with Hu Hui, so he followed her.

Zhang Zhi noticed that Hu Hui had stopped when she reached the gate of the orphanage. She hesitated, as if what she was facing was not the orphanage but a giant beast with a bloody mouth.Zhang Zhi could see the emotion just by looking at Hu Hui's back. One can imagine how obvious Hu Hui's resistance was at that time.

However, Hu Hui didn't linger at the door for long, and a person came out of the orphanage.It was a man in his fifties, wearing a pair of glasses, and looked well-dressed and refined, but it was such a man who walked to the door and dragged Hu Hui in.

There were obviously people in the sentry box at the entrance of the orphanage, but they didn't come out to stop them.That's because that man is Dean Liu of the orphanage.

Hu Hui was dragged in, Zhang Zhi rushed to the door but was stopped.He counter-emphasized to the security guard who rushed out that his girlfriend was dragged in, but the security guard told Zhang Zhi with a sneer: "There was no one here just now."

Zhang Zhi couldn't get into the orphanage, but he was very anxious. In desperation, he went to the phone booth and called 110. However, after the police arrived, they took him into the orphanage, but after searching, they couldn't find Hu Hui.

On this day, everyone laughed at Zhang Zhi, saying that he was a fan of daughter-in-laws and that he had mental problems.For a moment, Zhang Zhi seemed to be the laughing stock of the entire Beijiao Town.But Hu Hui seemed to have disappeared from the world, and she has not come out since the day she entered the orphanage.

The incident was such a big deal, of course Zhang Zhi's parents knew about it.They were extremely self-blaming and regretful. After all, they were the ones who introduced their son's girlfriend. When they first saw Hu Hui, they thought that this girl had no relatives and could save money on wedding gifts. They didn't expect such a thing to happen. Now I finally understand that it is impossible to take advantage of small advantages, and it is a big loss to take advantage of small advantages!

In order to prevent their son from being stabbed in the back, Zhang Zhi's parents immediately entrusted someone to tell their son another marriage. The girl's family has both parents, and her character is well-known in Shiliba Village.Zhang Zhi's parents were in a hurry and wanted to get their son married as soon as possible. The bride price was generous, and within a month they married their daughter-in-law into the family.

And until Zhang Zhi married his current wife, Hu Hui never came back.

However, ten days after Zhang Zhi's wedding, Hu Hui suddenly appeared, and there was a new commotion in Zhang Ji Restaurant.
