On December 9th, Zhong Min and Li Chuang got up at around eight in the morning. After washing up, they felt that they had a very comfortable sleep.
They packed their things and were thinking about checking out of the room.
First go outside and wait for Shen Yuanchao to come out and meet up, then eat something and go to the bus station to catch a bus.
Go early and catch whichever train you can. When you get to Chongxia Village, Bao'an County, you'll find the person.
Thinking this, they went downstairs to the second floor and went to the front desk.
However, when they passed the first room at the stairs on the first floor, they were stunned.
This is a small single room. Li Yuanchao lived in this room yesterday!
Now the door of the room was open and the inside was clean, obviously having been cleaned early in the morning.
But no one knew where the person had gone.
Shen Yuanchao was also carrying a large woven bag, which contained all the cotton-padded jackets, cotton-padded trousers, cotton-padded shoes, hats and sweaters for the three people.
It's impossible for him to leave by himself, carrying that big bag without even saying goodbye. Where could he go?
The three people were divided into two groups. They pretended not to know each other yesterday. At this time, Li Chuang frowned, but didn't know how to ask directly, where did the person in the room go?
Isn't that weird.
After thinking about it, he casually asked the female comrade at the front desk who was returning Zhong Min's deposit.
"Comrade, I wanted to stay in this small single room yesterday, but they said it was sold out. Now it's available, isn't it?"
"Really? I wasn't on duty last night, and you didn't ask me. But it's true that someone was staying here yesterday. They were taken away by the police during a ward check in the early morning."
What the hell?!
Caught? ?
Zhong Min was holding the five-dollar deposit in his hand, and he was stunned for a moment, not even knowing how to put it into his pocket.
He immediately turned his head and looked at Li Chuang with wide eyes.
Li Chuang's eyes were no smaller than his.
The two tried hard to suppress the shock in their hearts and calmed down.
Li Chuang pretended to be calm and continued speaking in a calm tone.
"Why are you arresting people in the middle of the night? I didn't hear any noise, and we didn't check our room..."
Everyone knows the rule that state-owned hotels will conduct room inspections in the middle of the night, and there is no difference between the north and the south.
Unexpectedly, the young waitress responded in poor Mandarin.
"I checked. You guys must be sleeping soundly. You don't know. We are all gay men. Usually we just use the key to open the door and take a look..."
Zhong Min and Li Chuang were shocked again, their jaws almost dropped to the ground.
Is that how you check? I slept so soundly yesterday that I really don't know anything.
I've stayed in hotels twice before, and they told me not to lock the door and wait for inspection...
I quickly recalled whether there was anything wrong with me, and whether the person checking the room could find anything unusual about me...
For a moment, both of them were confused. They must have been found to be inappropriate, otherwise they would have been taken away.
But how did Li Yuanchao get exposed?
"So what's the problem with this guy?"
Li Chuang pretended to be just curious and asked the waiter in a low voice.
This little girl was only about seventeen or eighteen years old. She had a good impression of Li Chuang, a gentle and handsome boy, so she said a few more words to him.
"I came here at dawn this morning. Sister Axian told me that during the ward rounds at 3 a.m., this man was taken away by Public Security Comrade Xiao Meng. It seems he was engaged in profiteering..."
Speculation?
It was over. Li Chuang and Zhong Min’s hearts sank.
Li Chuang's mind worked faster, and he thought, could it be that the three sets of cotton coats and trousers, as well as the sweater, trousers, hat, and cotton shoes... were misunderstood as reselling?
If he was really investigated because of this, Shen Yuanchao would definitely not be able to say that these were the clothes of the two friends who lived upstairs. There was really no way to explain it!
Hey! This is unlucky.
In fact, Li Chuang was only half right.
Shen Yuanchao had indeed not put the big bag away properly, and the opening was open, which was seen by Xiao Meng who was checking the room.
Originally, I just turned on the flashlight and shone it into the room, and that would be enough for the inspection.
But he noticed the big bag on the ground at the door. Why were there several sets of clothes in it?
Isn't this just one person?
So he became suspicious, woke up Shen Yuanchao and started questioning him.
In fact, Shen Yuanchao had already woken up at this time. He wanted to pretend to be asleep and pass the inspection.
But I didn't expect that it was the bag that caused the trouble.
He also had a Browning pistol and a small bag of bullets.
Fortunately, before going to bed, I knew that there would be a midnight room inspection, so to be on the safe side, I hid under the bedside table in advance.
It's only two inches away from the ground and fits perfectly there.
This is a deadly thing. Anyone who has this must be an enemy spy or a bandit, and then things will get serious.
However, the pistol was not on him, but he still had a small yellow croaker and one thousand Hong Kong dollars, which is more than one hundred RMB!
Unable to withstand such interrogation, he couldn't explain where the other clothes came from, so the money on him was quickly found out.
Xiao Meng took two people with him and took Shen Yuanchao away directly.
Li Chuang didn't know these details, and the younger sister who had just taken over didn't know that much either, so she could only give a general idea.
Li Chuang continued chatting with her and winked at Zhong Min.
Relying on the tacit understanding between the three of them who had been together day and night, Zhong Min immediately took the returned deposit, slowly walked back, and quietly entered the room to take a look.
Li Chuang blocked my view, so I didn't notice him. I was so happy to chat with this little brother.
Zhong Min flashed into the house and looked around quickly. He believed that Shen Yuanchao must have at least hidden his gun!
The room was small, and he quickly took out the gun and bullet bag from under the bedside table.
He breathed a sigh of relief, put the money in his pocket and hurried out.
After a while, Li Chuang said goodbye to the waitress, put on his backpack, turned around and walked out of the guesthouse.
Zhong Min was waiting behind a big tree at the door.
"Brother Chuang, I found the gun and bullets. They are in my pocket."
Li Chuang frowned tightly: "I asked the little girl again, which police station Xiao Meng is from."
"…She told me that it's nearby, just across the street. Let's go over there and see if there's any solution."
The two men were heavy-hearted and didn't even have breakfast. They quickly walked towards the police station.
We arrived nearby quickly, but didn't know how to get more accurate information.
Is he still locked up here?
Maybe he has been taken somewhere else...
The information in Shen Yuanchao's letter of introduction was all false.
What kind of clerk is this Jianye County Material Bureau? If we call him to verify, wouldn’t the truth be exposed immediately?
Besides, there has been such a big case in Jianye County recently. What if I learn more and suspect that he is the fugitive shark criminal... I dare not think about it any further.
Li Chuang and Zhong Min were at their wits' end and did not dare to wander around the police station gate openly.
They forced themselves to calm down, and then, seeing a state-owned restaurant fifty meters away, they walked over to eat something, mainly so they could have a place to stay.
Two people wandering around on the street doing nothing would attract more attention.
