Ten Days End

My name is Li Shangwu.

I lied.

On May 22, 2010, my colleagues and I received a task to wait for a fraudster.

The fraudster's name is Zhang Huanan.

He is very cunning and has several criminal records.

What's more difficult is that Zhang Huanan has an extremely high anti-reconnaissance awareness and has escaped the police's arrest several times. In this fraud case, Zhang Huanan was quickly listed as one of the important suspects and my colleagues and I waited for him day and night.

"Captain Li, want one?"

Xiao Liu took out my favorite Cordyceps sinensis cigarette from his arms. He is not a rich man, but he always likes to carry more than 50 yuan of cigarettes. He doesn't smoke himself, but he always gives me one.

"Xiao Liu, how much do you earn every month?"

I didn't take the cigarette, but took out the Red General from my pocket, eight yuan a pack, cheap and strong.

"Two thousand seven." Xiao Liu said, "Captain Li, don't you know?"

"You make two thousand seven every month, and smoke Cordyceps sinensis?" I took a General, and Xiao Liu hurriedly handed me a lighter.

"Captain Li, what are you talking about..." Xiao Liu hurriedly smiled and said, "How can I bear to smoke Cordyceps sinensis? This is for you..."

I shook my head helplessly and said to him, "We are criminal police, whoever can solve the case is awesome, you should learn less about the workplace."

"Yes, yes, yes... Captain Li, you are right." Xiao Liu put the Cordyceps sinensis in his arms, and took out a pack of Changbaishan for six yuan, "Aren't I learning how to solve cases from you?"

To be honest, Xiao Liu is very smart and has a good understanding. It is said that he was always among the top students in the police academy, but I don't know how his parents educated him. At a young age, he learned a lot of greasy official skills, and once he joined the police force, he gave us seniors a headache.

"Captain Li, do you think we can catch Zhang Huanan?"

"This..." I thought for a moment, "Why do you care so much? The superiors told us to stay here, we just need to obey the order."

We parked the car across the street from Zhang Huanan's house and stared at the only entrance and exit.

This kind of squatting usually consists of two people in a team, so that one of them can rest and change shifts, but we don't know how long we will have to squat here, and this unknown torture will increase our smoking addiction invisibly.

"I should have brought a pair of shorts..." Xiao Liu said.

"What? You kid want to change your shorts here?"

"Haha!" Xiao Liu smiled nonchalantly, "Just kidding, Captain Li, another one?"

We smoked one cigarette after another in this closed space. Because we didn't dare to open the car window, the car soon became foggy.

Xiao Liu turned on the air conditioner every once in a while to change the air, otherwise in this environment, the chance of lung cancer would be close to 100%.

A whole day passed, and neither of us closed our eyes.

I felt I could still hold on because I often stayed up late, but Xiao Liu was already drowsy.

"Take a break." I said, "I'll be able to watch it by myself."

"Captain Li... Is that okay... How can I sleep first when you haven't rested yet..." Although he was pretending to be strong, his eyelids were already fighting.

"It's okay, you go to sleep, I'll call you at night."

"Well, that's fine... I'll just take a nap for half an hour..."

In less than 20 seconds, Xiao Liu's snoring sounded, and it seemed that the child was exhausted.

After confirming that he was asleep, I slowly took out my phone from my pocket and looked at the unread text messages.

Three of the four text messages were sent by Xuanxuan.

"Dad, are you coming back for dinner tonight?"

"Dad, grandma said you were on a mission these two days, you have to be careful!"

"Dad, there will be a parent-teacher meeting next Friday afternoon, can you come back then?"

I frowned slightly, but still sent a message to Xuanxuan.

"I'll be home in two days, have a good meal."

After sending the message, I opened the fourth unread message.

The strange number only sent three words: "Still squatting?"

I glanced at Xiao Liu who was sleeping beside me again, then moved to the other side and quickly replied: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm hiding."

After doing all this, I put my phone in my pocket and slowly reclined the seat, preparing to take a nap.

The new car bought by the team is really high-end. The seat is actually electric and will recline slowly, so it won't fall down suddenly like the previous car, causing people to sprain their waists.

As for squatting on Zhang Huanan...

Don't be funny, he won't show up as long as I'm here.

I don't know how long it took, but I was suddenly awakened by a violent shaking.

I opened my eyes in a hurry and found Xiao Liu looking at me nervously: "Captain Li!! YouHow did you fall asleep? ! "

"Huh?" I was a little confused after waking up. It took me a long time to figure out what happened. "Oh...you woke up?"

"Oh no! Captain Li, we both fell asleep. What if Zhang Huanan shows up?"

"It's okay. He can't run away." I rubbed my eyes and returned the seat to its original position.

"Can't run away?"

"Oh...I mean I just fell asleep. It shouldn't be such a coincidence..."

"Hey..." Xiao Liu still looked worried. He patted his cheek hard and said, "I said I shouldn't sleep. This is terrible. I made a mistake on my first mission."

"It's okay, kid." I patted his shoulder. "I'll take care of it if anything goes wrong. "

It's strange to say that Xiao Liu seemed to have been energized from that moment on, and he didn't sleep for two days.

I slept several times in between, but every time I woke up, I could see Xiao Liu staring at the building opposite.

"Do you want to die suddenly?" I asked with some concern, "I'm awake now, you can sleep for a while."

"No." Xiao Liu had very heavy dark circles under his eyes, and he looked a little haggard, "Captain Li, I won't rest this time, I have to wait until Zhang Huanan shows up."

Just then, the phone in my pocket rang again.

Even if it's a Nokia 6300, it's almost out of power now.

I opened my phone and saw that Zhang Huanan had sent me a text message again.

I quietly turned my body to see what the other party had sent, but Xiao Liu suddenly asked behind me, "Is there an order from the team?"

"Oh, no. "I smiled and dodged to the side with the phone in my hand.

"Not from the team? Then who sent it?" He stared blankly at the phone in my hand.

I know that ordinary people can't ask such rude questions. Xiao Liu is now a little dazed due to lack of sleep for a long time.

Seeing his look, I immediately came up with a plan.

I reached into my pocket, moved the cigarettes in the cigarette box into my pocket, and then took out the empty cigarette box and shook it in front of him.

"Xiao Liu, go buy a pack of cigarettes."

"Buy cigarettes? There is no canteen nearby." He was stunned and said.

"But I don't have any cigarettes." I put the cigarette box and the phone in my arms and said to him, "If there is no cigarette nearby, go to a farther place. If you stay up late for a long time, you can't live without cigarettes. And the mineral water and bread in the car are almost gone. If it's convenient for you, buy some. "

He thought blankly for a while, then nodded and said, "Okay, Captain Li, I'll be back soon."
