District 9

Slum, outside the small courtyard of the rental house.

"Wow."

After Liu Zishu lowered his head and flicked the gun bolt, he led the two brothers out of the car and walked straight to the main entrance of the courtyard. There was only one driver left in the car who was still looking at the girl.

After the three of them entered the hospital, they quickly identified the room where Zhou Ming lived based on the information provided by the girl.

"Open the door." Liu Zishu waved his hand.

The brother on the left heard the sound and stepped forward, pulled out a half-meter-long crowbar from his arms, inserted it directly into the crack of the door, and pried it outward twice.

"Bang!"

The door opened, and Liu Zishu entered the room with a gun, and immediately pointed the gun in the direction of the bed.

At the same time, the two companions entered the house and turned on the lights immediately.

The room of more than 30 square meters was in a mess, with garbage and clothes scattered everywhere, but there was no one there.

Liu Zishu was stunned for a moment, then walked to the bedside, reached out and touched the water glass on the bedside table, frowned and said, "The glass is still hot, I just left a while ago."

"Did you smell something and run away?" the brother on the left asked.

Liu Zishu glanced at the room and saw the suitcase next to the cabinet and watches and other items on the table. His eyes were a little confused: "It doesn't look like he ran away suddenly, and there were only a few of us to catch him, and there is no news." Damn, he shouldn’t be able to hear the wind.”

"Did you go out temporarily because of something?" asked my companion.

Liu Zishu scratched his nose, thought for a while and then said: "Go and call that woman in."

"Okay." The companion nodded immediately and left.

Liu Zishu thought for a moment and immediately reached out and turned off the light.

…

About four or five minutes later, Zhou Ming's broken shoes were brought in by his companions, and he stood at the door with a slightly panicked look.

Liu Zishu raised his head and glanced at the other party, and said in a low voice: "Call Zhou Ming and ask him where he is and when he will be back."

"Okay... okay..." The girl has been hanging around on the ground all year round and has a strong ability to identify people. When she saw that these people were not easy to mess with, she could only nod and said: "I will beat him now. "

Ten seconds later, the girl dialed Zhou Ming's cell phone and asked in a clear voice: "Where are you?"

"I'm doing errands outside, what's wrong?" Zhou Ming asked in a stiff tone.

"My friends are gone. Let's go home now. You can bring me some food quickly."

"I'll bring your mother for you!" Zhou Ming scolded angrily: "I can't go back tonight, you can find a way to eat by yourself."

"Why did you go?"

"I have something to do. Let's talk about it when I get back tomorrow, that's all." Zhou Ming said impatiently and hung up the phone.

After listening to the conversation between the two, Liu Zishu frowned and asked the girl, "What do you think he can do?"

"What else can you do? I have two pieces of money in my hand and I'm looking for a woman." The girl curled her lips and said sourly.

Liu Zishu thought about it for a long time and immediately ordered: "Go out first and drive our car farther away."

…

late at night.

The light rail train slowly entered Changji Station. A large number of passengers crowded out of the train and hurriedly walked towards the exit.

In the crowd, Wu Tianyin followed the leader and looked at Changji Station with curious eyes. He couldn't help but shake his head and sighed: "Changji City is developing so well."

A colleague who was traveling with me was surprised when he heard this and asked, "Have you never been to Changji before?"

Wu Tianyin was stunned: "Ah, I used to be mainly outside the district, and I haven't been here for a long time."

The colleague smiled and said nothing.

The group of people left the station, called a taxi, and hurried to the hotel they had booked in advance.

Since one of the people traveling with us was a manager, the standard of the hotel they stayed in was slightly higher. However, the company still has rigid regulations on the expenses of each person's business trip, so people like Wu Tianyin who are running errands are not qualified to live in a single room in a hotel of this size and can only share rooms with colleagues.

In the middle of the night, in the lobby of Changji Atour Hotel, Wu Tianyin went through the check-in procedures on behalf of everyone and immediately distributed room cards to everyone.

"Have breakfast at 7:30 tomorrow morning, and discuss things in the hotel at noon." The lead manager said expressionlessly: "You go back and have a rest early, and prepare some materials each."

"good."

"knew."

Everyone nodded.

After the manager gave the instructions, he carried his luggage and went to the high-end housing area. Wu Tianyin said to the colleague who wanted to live in the same room with him: "Xiao Zhang, let's go. I'll help you put your luggage up first, and then I'll go out."

"It's so late, what are you doing?" My colleague asked, stunned.

"I went out to the small supermarket to buy something. If I'm hungry at night, I can just have a quick bite." Wu Tianyin bared his teeth and said, "I have a bad stomach and am afraid of getting sick."

"Ah, okay, let's go." The colleague didn't doubt it either. He nodded and replied, then followed Wu Tianyin upstairs.

…

About twenty minutes later.

Wu Tianyin walked to the hotel lobby and politely asked the staff on duty: "Hello, excuse me, I want to ask something."

"You said it." The officer on duty raised his head and responded.

"Where is the nearest superintendent of police? I want to go there." Wu Tianyin asked bluntly.

"Precinct Superintendent?"

"Yes, I have to go over and do something." Wu Tianyin smiled and nodded.

"Oh, our place is under the management of the Rongxing District Police Superintendent."

"Is the superintendent far from here?" Wu Tianyin asked.

"It's about three kilometers. Turn right when you go out, turn right again at the second intersection, and keep walking until you can see it." The staff on duty asked politely: "Do you need a car? I can call one for you."

"No, no need." Wu Tianyin waved his hand: "Thank you."

"You're welcome."

After the two communicated, Wu Tianyin, wearing thin work clothes, rushed out of the hotel and jogged in the direction of the Rongxing District Superintendent.

He had just been released from prison and had not been paid yet, and it was even less likely that his family would get him any money. The only dozens of dollars in cash in his pocket were public funds, and he could not use them.

But the distance of three kilometers would take some time, so he was afraid that his colleagues would be suspicious, so he could only run there quickly to complete the procedures.

Snowflakes were flying all over the sky. Wu Tianyin, who was already in his thirties this year, ran wildly on the street with hope...

…

In an apartment in Songjiang City, a man stepped out of the bathroom, lowered his head and held the phone and said, "Has a police officer gone to the business point where mobile phone cards are sold?"

"Yes, it's the one named Ding Guozhen under Qin Yu."

"Yeah." The man nodded, and after thinking for a while, he said, "If you do this, you should give him some information..."

After hearing this, the other party nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I understand. Well, I'll do it right now."

"Get in touch slowly, don't be in a hurry." The man instructed.

"I see."

"Yeah." The man hung up the phone and yawned while lying on the bed: "The check was pretty quick."
