Although he didn't want to sleep there, he couldn't go anywhere now. When Shi Shichang found out that he was not there tomorrow, he would definitely look for him everywhere.
Seeing that he had a place to sleep and he picked it, Zhou Dayong was also unhappy: "If you can't stand it, go get a towel and wipe it clean yourself."
"Where is the handkerchief?" Seeing his impatient face, he didn't know what he had done to offend him again.
It was time to go to bed. It was okay that he had wasted so much time following the director, but now he was still here talking so much to him. He believed that he would make the choice he wanted.
"Go find it yourself." Zhou Dayong let go of his hand and left. He didn't want to pretend in front of the director.
"Wait a minute, we're not partners now. If you can't even find me a handkerchief, what are you asking me to do..."
Before he could finish, Zhou Dayong interrupted him, "It's up to you whether you want to stay or not. I'll throw you out now. Do you dare to go home?"
Zhou Dayong was sure that he didn't have the courage to go back. They were the best partners. As for whether he was an undercover agent, they would wait until the matter was over and then settle the score.
"I'll find it myself, you go back and rest!"
Bao Gaoyuan walked to the cabinet and opened the door. A foul smell hit him in the face and several big black rats ran out, scaring him back.
The clothes inside were bitten to pieces. This house has been uninhabited for years and has become a happy home for mice.
I rummaged through the closet before finding some clean clothes. I took them out and wiped the bed before going to bed.
He was still wondering in his heart why what happened today seemed like a trap set by someone, waiting for him to fall into it.
Never mind, let's solve the problem at hand first. As long as the two of them are the ones who wronged him, then he will no longer be an undercover agent.
In the morning, not long after the rising sun came out, Shi Shichang got up and went to the guard room to see if anyone was there without even eating.
There were very few people on the streets early in the morning, with only the crowing of roosters coming from the alleys. As he walked on the road, his eyelids kept twitching and his pace began to quicken.
When he arrived at the guard room, he opened the door and was stunned to see that the person who was lying on the ground yesterday was nowhere to be seen today.
"Where is he? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on him? You can even see such a grown-up person running away!" Shi Shichang's pupils slightly dilated, his eyes filled with surprise.
The gatekeeper was startled when he heard this, and after a while he explained, "Director Shi, didn't you ask me to release him tonight?"
He stopped and took a breath, "Who told you to let him go? Didn't I tell you to listen to me?"
This incident was aimed specifically at him. They had already submitted a report and this kind of thing happened. When they sent people down to investigate, they found that the people were gone, and he and Xiang Ming were held accountable.
"You were the one who told me to let them go!"
"When did I tell you to release that person? Forget it. Do you still remember what that person looks like?" Shi Shichang looked at him seriously, hoping that he could remember so that he could go find the person. Not knowing the person would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
"It was late at night and I couldn't see his face clearly. He had his head covered. He looked very strong. I didn't dare to compete with him for the person." The gatekeeper said a few simple words.
"I'll tell you about this later." He left last night, and if he couldn't leave his old mother at home, he would go home. Shi Shichang decided to go to his house first, just in case he went home.
I went to get his address and found that only his mother was home. After explaining my purpose, the old lady asked him, "Why didn't my Bao Gaoyuan come home yesterday? Did he work overtime again?"
"Yes, he was in our office yesterday." Seeing that the old man was still coughing and his hunched body was bent even lower, as if he was about to be buried in the ground, he couldn't bear to tell him.
The old man just heard his words and said, "Then you just asked me if he came back?"
"He said early this morning that he was worried you'd be worried, so we gave him the day off to go home. I stopped by to see if he'd made it home!"
"You asked him to work overtime, and he hasn't come back yet! Have you ever thought about how scared an old man like me would be when I'm alone at home?" The old man said, grabbing his hand and asking him to give an explanation.
Seeing that the old woman's expression didn't seem fake, he really didn't see anyone, so he comforted her: "I'll go find it for you, don't worry, I'll tell you when I find it."
"Okay, go quickly! Bring the person back to me." The old woman leaned against the wall and watched him leave. Her child has always been very well-behaved. Could it be that something stopped him on the way?
I searched the town for a while but couldn't find him. I asked around but no one had seen him. Then, by chance, I met Xiang Ming on his bicycle. He asked, "Why are you here?"
"It's because I saw your seat was empty. You came in early one day, so I went to the guardhouse to check. Sure enough, the person we arrested yesterday was gone. I thought, wow, you must have gone to arrest someone!" Xiang Ming told him how he guessed he was outside step by step. "Looking at you like this, you didn't see anyone?"
"Gugugu~"
Shi Shichang's stomach was rumbling. After running for so long without eating breakfast, even an iron man would be hungry.
"Come on, brother will take you to eat!" Xiang Ming, their good brother, hugged him and went to eat.
"We'll investigate slowly and eventually catch him. Don't worry!"
Shi Shichang lowered his head and said, "I wrote a letter of complaint yesterday and posted it in the mailbox. Now it's too late!"
Xiang Ming didn't dare to look at him and asked doubtfully, "You didn't write my name?"
"I wrote it, we caught the man together," Shi Shichang said in a low voice.
"You're truly my good brother!" Xiang Ming sighed, comforting him. "Man is made of iron and rice is made of steel. If you don't eat, you'll be hungry. Eat first, then look for him. We don't have any planes or trains here. Can he grow wings and run away?"
"How can I eat this? Xiang Ming, I am sorry for you. If this matter is investigated by the higher-ups, I will say that I wrote it nonsense and you know nothing. You have to remember this." Shi Shichang secretly made up his mind. This matter was caused by him, and Xiang Ming must not be allowed to escalate.
The higher-ups are currently carrying out an operation to eliminate the evil forces and they come to inspect them from time to time. Now that he has submitted this letter, he believes that the higher-ups will come down to investigate soon after receiving it.
It would be a lie to say he wasn't anxious. He was so anxious that he was about to burn, but it was indeed his fault that he didn't handle the matter well, so he couldn't blame others.
Xiang Ming thought positively, hoping to persuade him not to lose heart. "Don't be like this, brother. Let's eat first and then we'll go look for him. He might be hiding in some corner. If we go together and catch him, everything will be fine."
"Let's go." Shi Shichang didn't want to refuse his kindness, so he went to eat with him.
The two sat together to discuss where Bao Gaoyuan might be hiding. After eliminating the places they had already searched, they found that there were no places left, so they could eliminate them one by one.
