Chapter 236: Yan Ye’s heart finally settled down
Yan Ye didn't have time to waste with Yu Qianqian. He asked about the date of the fake letter of introduction and turned back to the train station.
The man hadn't slept well for several nights. When he walked out of Yu's house, his body staggered and he almost fell down.
"Where are you going? I'll ask the driver to take you." Political Commissar Yu ordered from behind.
It's not that he cares about Yan Ye that much, but Yan Ye left Yu's house so openly. If something really happened on the way, if they investigated it, people might think that he was the one behind it.
The Yu family driver drove the car fast and steadily and stopped when he arrived at the train station.
Before the driver locked the car, Yan Ye got out of the car quickly.
The man almost ran to the duty room.
"Comrade, I came here yesterday. Could you please help me check how many buses there are on the 29th?"
Yan Ye leaned on the glass window of the duty room and looked at the people inside.
If it were in other provincial capitals, checking vehicle traffic would not be a big deal, but this is the capital.
There are so many vehicles coming and going every day that it is very troublesome.
The staff in the duty room subconsciously wanted to refuse, and her eyes met the man's red eyes, as if he had not slept for several nights.
"Okay, but I can only adjust this thing for you, and you can see it yourself."
"Okay, I'll just watch it myself."
Yan Ye quickly agreed and sat in the duty room, looking for the train numbers one by one.
He searched from dawn to dusk, and carefully checked all the vehicles whose starting point was the capital's.
Hard work pays off, Yan Ye finally found the name Xu Xiaoyue on a thin piece of paper.
Seeing that the girl bought a sleeper berth, Yan Ye subconsciously thought that the berths on the train were so hard that it hurt. She was such a delicate person that she would complain even when the quilt on her bed at home was not soft. How could she have the courage to get on the train and leave?
He only found out the vehicle for the trip, but couldn't find the specific destination.
A bus trip passes through multiple cities, so even if you get off halfway, you just need to go to the waiting room to pay the fare difference.
Yan Ye followed the vehicle's progress that day and found that it passed through five cities in total.
In other words, if she didn't run away, she must be hiding in one of these five cities.
After finding some clues, Yan Ye's heart, which had been hanging in the air for the past few days, finally settled down.
After finding the key clue at the train station, Yan Ye didn't even have time to drink a sip of water. He went back to the office and started making phone calls.
Li was sleeping soundly when a phone call came in. He was about to curse, but when he saw the caller ID, he cleared his throat.
"Hello, Commander Yan, why are you calling me so late..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the person on the other end of the phone.
"I need you to do me a favor and check the migrant population in these cities in the past month."
Li couldn't help but ask, "Investigating the floating population? People from other provinces are not our responsibility."
Yan Ye seemed to have expected his explanation. "Let's talk about the last human trafficking case. Maybe the suspect has fled to other provinces."
He had even thought of a reason, and Li understood it.
Whatever suspect he is, it's probably just an excuse he made up for his little girlfriend.
Li Suo was very happy to do Yan Ye a favor, "Okay, I'll help you get it done tomorrow when I go there."
"Don't be too anxious. We live in a society ruled by law now."
On the other end of the phone, Yan Ye closed his eyes and said, "Hang up."
Of course he knew that it was a society ruled by law. If it weren't, he would really want to get two big iron chains and tie the person up at home.
Xu Xiaoyue sneezed twice and woke up from the table.
The guesthouse where she lives now is not soundproof, and she can always hear unusual movements coming from the next room at night, and sometimes she can even hear some indescribable sounds.
Xu Xiaoyue was a light sleeper to begin with, and she couldn’t fall asleep at all because of the noise.
I don’t know if it’s because of my pregnancy, but I felt sleepy after studying for a while in the tailor shop during the day.
She rubbed her eyes with her hand, adjusted the sewing machine and prepared to continue.
"If you are tired, take a rest first. If I break my sewing machine later, who will compensate me?"
Aunt Zhang adjusted her reading glasses on her nose and spoke slowly.
I don’t know where this little girl went to steal. She dozed off three times today just sitting at the sewing machine.
Xu Xiaoyue didn't expect that she would be caught for just taking a nap.
The girl pursed her lips embarrassedly, then stood up and sat on the stool next to Aunt Zhang.
"I'm sorry, Aunt Zhang, I can't help you much today."
"Or you can just deduct today's wages from me and forget about it."
She really felt ashamed. There wasn't much work in the tailor shop every day. Aunt Zhang asked her to make a basic cheongsam, but she fell asleep.
"I won't pay you? What if you report me to the Labor Bureau? You're not trying to blackmail me, are you?"
Aunt Zhang said in a calm tone without even raising her head.
Xu Xiaoyue didn't expect that Hong Kong City actually takes labor laws very seriously. She lowered her head and thought for a while, "Why don't you just deduct my salary?"
Aunt Zhang was really amused this time.
At her age, she owns a shop and has met many different kinds of people.
This was the first time she had ever met someone so frank as Xu Xiaoyue.
"Okay, I'm just kidding. Your eyelids are about to be glued shut. Go lie down in the back for a while."
Aunt Zhang has no children, and she originally thought it would be nice to live alone.
Right now, it feels good to hire a worker to keep me company.
Xu Xiaoyue couldn't help but yawn again. Thinking about the guesthouse she was staying in, she really couldn't stay there any longer.
Her eyes fell on Aunt Zhang, "Aunt, is there any house for rent nearby?"
"I have settled down here now, and I want to find a place to live and settle down."
"This street is all commercial, there is no residential area, and it's almost Chinese New Year, who would be stupid enough to rent out a house?"
Aunt Zhang looked at Xu Xiaoyue and said, "But if you live alone, you can move to my yard first. It's a little further back. There's an empty room."
In the early years, her family was also wealthy, with the tailoring skills passed down from their ancestors. But when the times got bad, they were labeled capitalists and most of their property was confiscated.
Only this yard cannot be moved or relocated.
It is also for this reason that no one visits the house on normal days.
"Aunt Zhang, I think this is a bit disturbing to you."
After working as an apprentice for a few days, Xu Xiaoyue had more or less figured out the woman's character. She was usually cold towards everything and was most afraid of trouble.
"If you live alone, I won't bother you. But if you live with others, forget it."
"I'm alone. Just me."
Xu Xiaoyue quickly spoke up to clarify.
