Morbid Addiction

Since that day, it has been lingering and rainy for several days.

Except for a few regular customers who come to buy cigarettes every day, Chen Yuncheng's shop has never had any business.The rain made him restless, and he couldn't even watch the TV. Many times he would lie on the counter, looking at the deserted and wet street outside.

The rain stopped in the evening, but the street outside was still very deserted, and no one passed by for a long time, and because of the gloomy weather, it got dark earlier than usual, and there was no light at all before eight o'clock. .

Chen Yuncheng came out of the shop, stood under the dim streetlight for a while, closed the shop door, and walked outside against the dry ground under the eaves.

After walking for more than 20 minutes, Chen Yuncheng turned into a bright and bright street. There are many bars on this street. At night, when the business is busy, the signs of each bar are flashing with dazzling lights. The gathering place of the X people.

Chen Yuncheng entered a familiar bar.He said he was familiar, but he hadn't been here for a long time. When he entered the bar, he found that most of the waiters had changed to unfamiliar faces, the proprietress or the proprietress.

The lady proprietress of the bar is also from the X ethnic group, but her attire is completely indistinguishable from that of the local Han people. She was sitting at the bar and raised her head to see Chen Yuncheng when she noticed someone approaching.

She smiled at Chen Yuncheng: "Long time no see." The Chinese has a subtle accent, which can't be heard if you don't listen carefully.

Chen Yuncheng walked over and sat down in front of the bar, and said, "Yes, long time no see."

The proprietress's name is Namu, and she looks like she is in her 20s or 30s. She has opened a bar here for many years. Chen Yuncheng guessed that she should be in her 30s, but he never asked her.

Namu said to Chen Yuncheng: "Why alone?"

Chen Yuncheng smiled and said, "Single guests are not welcome now?"

Namu smiled and said, "You haven't been here for a long time, I thought you were married."

Chen Yuncheng said: "I'm not married, I just opened a shop, I stay in the shop at night, I don't have time to come out."

Namu didn't continue to ask, just asked him: "What do you want to drink?"

Chen Yuncheng said casually, "Let's have a glass of beer."

Namu turned to pour the beer.

Chen Yuncheng also turned around at the same time, scanning the bar with his gaze.It wasn't too late, and there weren't many customers in the bar at this time. You could almost see them all at a glance, and there were no special or familiar faces.

He didn't expect to find the two people Long Zhanyu mentioned easily. In fact, he was not too willing to help Long Zhanyu find someone.He knew that Long Zhanyu used him as an informant, but he didn't like Long Zhanyu's almost threatening attitude.Reporting crimes is his citizen's duty, and finding criminal suspects is not his responsibility as an ordinary citizen. He can help this job if he wants to. If he doesn't want to, Long Zhanyu has nothing to do with him.

Chen Yuncheng picked up the beer glass in front of him and took a sip. When he put down the glass, he suddenly felt a little hot. He reached out to unzip the down jacket and took off the coat.

Putting the coat on the back of the chair, Chen Yuncheng took out the phone from his pocket, saw a WeChat message from Ning Junyan, only two words, and asked him: "Where is it?"

Ning Junyan hadn't contacted him for several days. For some reason, he suddenly remembered him today. Chen Yuncheng stared at the WeChat for a while, and replied: "Where are you?"

Unexpectedly, Ning Junyan sent him a photo, and Chen Yuncheng was a little surprised to find that it was the closed rolling door of his shop.

"Why did you come here suddenly?" Chen Yuncheng typed one after another, "I'm drinking at the bar, come over and I'll treat you to a drink."

After sending these two items, Chen Yuncheng then sent a location.

Ning Junyan quickly replied: "Okay."

Until he put the phone on the bar, Chen Yuncheng was still surprised. He didn't understand why Ning Junyan came to him without even saying hello in advance, and it was so late, he didn't know why Ning Junyan was looking for him ,wanna chat?

Namu had already returned to the bar. She was standing in front of Chen Yuncheng, chatting with Chen Yuncheng with her face in one hand, and the perfume on her body exuded a light fragrance.

She asked Chen Yuncheng: "Why are you still single?"

Chen Yuncheng smiled, "You want to introduce me to a girlfriend?"

Namu actually responded seriously: "I know a few nice girls, all of them are from the X tribe, do you want to meet?"

Chen Yuncheng put his finger on the cold glass wall of the wine glass, smiled and said: "A lot of girls look down on me, I have no money."

Namu said: "Our X people are different. Our girls are not so snobbish. They are all about feelings. You are so handsome, there must be girls who like you."

Chen Yuncheng said with a smile: "Men from the X clan are all tall and have deep facial features. Compared to me, I'm really not that handsome."

Namu also smiled, and she said, "I think you are handsome."

Perhaps because she doesn't use her mother tongue, Chen Yuncheng often feels that Namu's words are very straightforward when communicating with him, without so many euphemisms.

He thought about it seriously. If he really wanted to get married, he didn't mind whether the other party was Han or X, but he didn't want Namu to introduce girls to him.He sometimes feels a bit lonely by himself, but he doesn't urgently want to start a family. Chen Yuncheng himself hasn't thought about what will happen in the future.

Namu chatted with him for a while and then left.

Chen Yuncheng glanced at the time, 10 minutes had passed since Ning Junyan sent him a message. If Ning Junyan drove over from his shop, he should have arrived long ago.

He put down his phone and subconsciously glanced around the bar again.

This time, Chen Yuncheng saw a tall man coming out from the bathroom, walked to the seat near the wall of the bar and sat down, holding a mobile phone and talking on the phone.

Even though the bar was dimly lit, Chen Yuncheng could still see the person's face clearly. It was one of the members of the X tribe that Long Zhanyu had shown him a photo of.

Chen Yuncheng picked up his phone, secretly took a photo of that person, and sent it directly to Long Zhanyu.

Long Zhanyu immediately dialed a phone number and asked him, "Where is it?"

Chen Yuncheng said the name and address of the bar.

Long Zhanyu asked again: "Is he alone?"

Chen Yuncheng gave a soft "hmm".

Long Zhanyu said: "Don't disturb him, wait to see if he has contact with any locals."

Chen Yuncheng gave another "hmm" and hung up the phone.

After a few minutes, Ning Junyan pushed open the door of the bar and walked in.

Chen Yuncheng originally had his back facing the door, and when he felt the cold wind blowing in from the door, he saw Namu at the bar looking up, so he also turned his head to take a look, and then saw the girl in black cashmere. Ning Junyan in the overcoat.

Ning Junyan's appearance was too conspicuous. When he came in, many guests in the bar glanced at him, including the X clan man leaning against the wall.

The man had just finished making a phone call, and when he looked up and saw Ning Junyan, he didn't know what to think, and suddenly got up and walked towards the door.

Chen Yuncheng saw him passing Ning Junyan, and Ning Junyan also saw Chen Yuncheng walking towards him.

"I'll send you the money for the wine on WeChat," Chen Yuncheng said to Namu, picked up the beer glass and drank the last sip of beer in it, grabbed his down jacket, got up, and walked towards Ning Junyan.

At this time, the X family had left the bar.

Chen Yuncheng walked up to Ning Junyan, and before Ning Junyan could speak, he grabbed Ning Junyan's wrist and pulled him away, and at the same time whispered in his ear: "Follow me."

Ning Junyan looked down at his grasped wrist, and followed Chen Yuncheng out of the bar.
