Yesterday at Shunying's house, I had nothing to do but talk about the situation when I was summoned for questioning.Look at Konger, I have called K and Ping several times on the phone.I know that Ping is in the bookstore, but I don't want to go find her. Shunying bragged about how great their supernatural powers are, and told me to "rest assured".I happened to recall a little thing from the question I had the night before, so I said, "They asked me if I knew two people named Xu. It sounds like these two people named Xu are also your acquaintances, but I have never met them before."

"A friend with the surname Xu? No." Shunying said casually. "But how do you answer?" Song Sheng asked anxiously. "I said I've never seen it." "That's right!" Songsheng smiled, as if he had let go of his mind; but he glanced at me again, and added as if to say: "That Xu, who had a little trouble with G, has been with us recently. It’s not done well. So their question, it’s expected that it’s not useless. However, if you say you don’t know him, that’s fine.” "Ah, sister," Shunying suddenly became nervous, "I forgot to tell you: be careful when going in and out!..."

Coming out of Shunying, I looked carefully to see if there was any suspicious person in front of me or behind me. It seems not yet. After hesitating for a while, I finally arrived at the C—S Association, then to the newspaper office, and finally to the N Bookstore, hoping to meet one of the two.I believe there is no "tail".And today I suddenly feel that I am not "isolated". There are a few people with great powers who share my interests, at least for now.For their own sake, they must try to cover me; just as I, for my own sake, must take a little risk to find these two people.

Nearly six o'clock I decided to leave a note for K.But just after leaving the note, he ran into the gate with his head down.He didn't see me.When he passed by, I followed him, and when I saw no one was there, I called him: "Mr. K., a friend is looking for you!" When he turned around and saw it was me, he was stunned.I approached him and whispered: "You have to pay attention to you and Ping—among your acquaintances, among the people you think are reliable, there are some unreliable people! Think carefully about what I told you about Xiao Zhao, How many people have you told? We already have the information, so if you are not careful, you will fail!”

K. was a little flustered, but asked me to go into the drawing room for a more detailed discussion. "There's no time!" I watched to see if anyone was there. "In my opinion, you'd better get away for a time.—Don't listen to Ping. There's something wrong with Ping, jealous for no reason!" "That's a long story, and you can't blame her alone," K. said in a low voice, looking back. "But it's okay to talk for ten minutes? I don't quite understand what you said." "No!" I saw someone coming. "In short, there are spies among you, so be careful!"

"So, how about we make an appointment tomorrow?" "No!" I said firmly, turning around to leave. "Even I won't be clean this time!" K.'s face also changed, and he was still trembling to say something; I ignored him, and ran inside in a flash.After going around two rooms, I went out through the side door.For some reason, I felt a little flustered.This time was too risky, and I regretted it a little, but the matter has come to this point, so I have to let it go. At that time, the night fog was getting thicker, and it was very uncomfortable to breathe.Also feel hungry.There are plenty of restaurants and pastry shops in this area; I stopped in front of a restaurant I often go to, and saw that it was "full of guests", but I was a little hesitant.At this moment, I felt that there seemed to be an extra "protector" behind me.As soon as I changed my mind, I squeezed into the restaurant.In fact, there wasn't even a place to stand, but I didn't care, so I just sat next to the account desk and waited for "vacancy".After about five or six minutes, a man in a Chinese tunic suit, with a fedora hat covering half his face, and holding a black lacquered cane squeezed in; he stood in the middle of the road and watched for a while, then turned and went out again.At this moment, Chang Guan greeted me: I have already got the seat.

I specifically ordered one or two more time-consuming dishes, and it took more than 20 minutes for a meal. When you go out, look carefully, but there is a person crowded at the corner of a table, impatiently tapping a plate with chopsticks; although I don't see his face, I know the fedora. No more doubts: Someone is secretly "protecting" me! Hop on a rickshaw and urge him to run!The direction I took was downhill, and the car flew across the busy road like flying.Regardless of the danger of overturning, I turned around and looked back.The fog was quite thick, and the electric lights were dim, and nothing could be seen.As soon as the downhill was over, I gave the order to stop.After getting out of the car, I planned to turn into a side street.But when I suddenly saw the so-called department store opened by my fellow villager more than ten steps away, I changed my mind and decided to "visit" this fellow villager.

When it was newly opened, I came here once or twice. It has been a month or so?I thought it was awkward to rush him today when the market was about to close, but I didn't care too much at that time. It was a coincidence that the fellow was not there, and none of the guys knew me. "Oh, did you go out?" I pretended to ponder, "It doesn't matter, I'll wait for him." "The boss has a dinner party, so he can't come back for a while. After the dinner party, he will go back to the mansion. You'd better come back tomorrow. Otherwise, at It’s also good to go to his mansion.” A buddy pointed me enthusiastically.

"It's okay, I'll wait for him here. I made an appointment with him. I'll wait here for a while." What else could I have done at that time, besides making excuses to stay there? I sat down in a dark corner, eager to find something to say, and hang out with the guys; but somehow my mind was in a mess, and there was no second sentence after I said it.The guys also seemed surprised to see my erratic behavior.They have to ask.At this time, there were no customers in the store, and I was sitting there alone as a woman, and the situation was really a bit stiff.I looked at my watch, only ten minutes had passed...

Two older guys stood far across from me, licking me out of the corners of their eyes from time to time, and whispering in their ears. "Are they talking about me?" I thought to myself. "Are they looking at me or guessing me? Maybe I borrowed money;...but no, my clothes are not bad....Well, guess I am What are you going to do?" I was a little uneasy.However, the one who was enthusiastic about advising me before seemed to have heard a word or two from them, and suddenly smiled at me strangely.He poured me another cup of tea, but took the opportunity to ask: "You and the boss are familiar, but I haven't seen you here before..."

"Why don't you know me well? I'm still a little close." I replied casually.However, a thought suddenly hit my mind: this guy has a reason for what he said.A woman like me, at this time, went to find a man alone, but couldn't find him, and refused to leave, and said that he had an appointment, but refused to go to his mansion to look for him... They must have guessed from these The ambiguous relationship has gone up.Who among these nouveau riche businessmen didn't have a few sexual affairs?I think there must be a lot of fellow villagers. I was angry and amused.Looking at the watch again, half an hour has passed.The person who secretly "protected" me must have returned disappointed, so I stood up and said, "I haven't come back yet, maybe I won't come?" Unexpectedly, the guy replied: "No, no, The dinner is over, it must be ten o'clock." I smiled and said: "I'll leave a note, then." After another ten minutes or so, I finished writing the note without any envelope, so I handed it over to them, and I left. On the way, I thought about the scene just now, and couldn't help but smile wryly.In the note, I said that it was inconvenient for me to carry some things to hide from the alarm, and I planned to ask the fellow to keep them for me. When I got out of the car in front of my apartment, I caught a glimpse of another person passing by, which seemed to be the fedora hat.damn it!Could it be that it has become so serious? I don't know if the "tail" was born when I was at the K newspaper office?It's this one that worries me.Terrible!
