[Rat and Cat] Serious Crime Team

Chapter 136 The Nightmare Comes Again (12)

Zhan Zhao never expected that one day he would aimlessly search for Bai Yutang in the streets and alleys of City D.The experience made him feel very uneasy, even a little ashamed.He thought he already knew Bai Yutang very well, but it was only now that he realized that he knew so little about Bai Yutang.Not only did he not know the deepest wound buried in Bai Yutang's heart, he also didn't know what method Bai Yutang would take to heal his wounds.

Zhan Zhao has known Bai Yutang for more than a year, and he knows too little about Bai Yutang's past.He went to Aunt Jiang's private restaurant, took a taxi back to Bai Yutang's home, and even took the risk of going to the Sunken Hotel under the darkness of night.He met Aunt Jiang, Brother Lu whom he hadn't seen for many days, and even the legendary Sister-in-law Lu and Bai Yutang's little nephew Lu Zhen.However, he just didn't see Bai Yutang.And the people he met couldn't tell him where to find Bai Yutang now.

In the process of anxiously looking for Bai Yutang, Zhan Zhao was under tremendous pressure.Because whether it was Aunt Jiang or Brother Lu, they were all Bai Yutang's dear relatives and friends.Each of them was very curious about what happened between Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang, because no one was as eager as Zhan Zhao to jump around the world looking for their wayward Fifth Master Bai.

Those former friends of Bai Yutang may have needed to find Bai Yutang at times, but none of them would be as persistent as Zhan Zhao in running everywhere.Because those guys knew that if Bai Yutang wanted to hide, they would never find him.Looking at Zhan Zhao's smart appearance, how could he be a dead-headed guy?

Although Zhan Zhao didn't know their real thoughts, he could still see the embarrassing curiosity on their faces.Especially Lu Fang's wife, the sister-in-law who only met once.From the first moment Zhan Zhao appeared, those gentle and nimble eyes kept sizing him up and down, and the corners of his mouth curled up, never changing his expression.That curious smile made Zhan Zhao feel guilty, as if it was a very embarrassing and embarrassing thing for him to find Bai Yutang at her door.

Therefore, when Zhan Zhao bit the bullet and bid farewell to Lu Fang's family, he made a serious note of Bai Yutang in his heart and scolded him from head to toe.What he didn't know was that right after he turned and left, Lu Fang called Bai Yutang.

"Xiao Wu, Zhan Zhao has been here. What do you think? He looks like he's going crazy! Brat, why are you laughing when people worry about you?!"

"He laughed?" Min Xiuxiu raised her eyebrows and snatched Lu Fang's phone.

"Bai Xiaowu, you are so proud of yourself! Hmph! I think Zhan Zhao is a good boy, a hundred times better than you. If you like someone, treat them well, and when you get angry, run out to make others anxious. What kind of trick is this? You My nephew doesn't bother to use this method to chase girls, okay?

Eh?Zhan Zhao is not a girl, I know he is, but isn't the principle the same?Even if he is wrong this time, you can't play missing if you want to beat or scold?I think you just don't want to be beaten or scolded, so you hide and let others worry.Your way of asking for comfort is too naive, isn't it?Come on, think about it for yourself, I have to go to work in the hospital soon, so I don't have time to grind my teeth with you.But I advise you to give Zhan Zhao a message as soon as possible, otherwise you will lose your reason if you make him anxious. "

Here Min Xiuxiu scolded Bai Yutang on the phone, while Lu Fang stood by and tried to get the phone back several times but failed, so he could only listen distressedly to his little brother being repaired by his wife over there.Lu Zhen looked at his parents with innocent eyes. Uncle Lu noticed his son's eyes and could only smile helplessly.This Bai Xiaowu, you young couple quarreled, and the flames of war spread to my house, it's really not worrying.

Lu Fang and Min Xiuxiu were right, Zhan Zhao was really going crazy.During this time, he kept calling Bai Yutang.Bai Yutang didn't turn off the phone, but he just didn't answer Zhan Zhao's calls, and this reaction made Zhan Zhao even more uneasy.As time went by, the feeling of exhaustion became more and more serious, and Zhan Zhao gradually felt emotions other than uneasiness and anxiety.He was a little angry with Bai Yutang, and felt that this guy was really unreasonable.Even if I did something wrong, I can't just run away without saying a word.As an adult, and a policeman who is handling a case, how can he play disappearance at such a critical moment?

Bai Yutang was playing missing, which made Zhan Zhao irritated.But at the same time, he further strengthened his mind. He decided that this time his opponent was not the original Yun Qiuze, but a brand new earl.In this way, the information in his hands has shrunk a lot.

Yun Qiuze's criminal record three years ago is useless, and time is so urgent, but now he can't even figure out the criminal motive of this lunatic.Zhan Zhao felt oppressed and frustrated, coupled with the fact that he couldn't find Bai Yutang, the anxiety made him even more miserable.

It was almost dusk, Zhan Zhao was tired and hungry walking on the streets of City D, facing the pouring rain, his mind became more and more confused.The cold wind blew, and Zhan Zhao, who was wearing too thin clothes, felt chills all over his body. He raised his head and looked at the gray sky, his bright eyes were full of melancholy.

The gloomy sky gradually became darker, and it was dark, but there was no moon.When the street lights came on, Zhan Zhao decided to give up searching for Bai Yutang, because if he didn't find a warm place to sit down and rest immediately, his body would definitely collapse from fatigue and hunger.

Or, it wasn't physical fatigue that would break him down, but more psychological pain.In the end, he still hurt Bai Yutang.What's even more damning is that this guy didn't even give him a chance to explain.Zhan Zhao dragged his heavy steps depressedly, walking aimlessly in the rain.

Suddenly, a headlight illuminated Zhan Zhao's way forward, the whistle sounded, and a black car stopped beside him.

Zhan Zhao was taken aback for a moment, then turned around and glanced at the car parked behind him.The car window rolled down, and a strange but somewhat familiar face appeared in the car.

"Zhan Zhao?" The man called Zhan Zhao's name, obviously the other party knew him, definitely not a stranger.

Zhan Zhao hesitated for a moment, looked at the other person's dark and handsome face, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, remembering who this person was, "You are—Mr. Chef in the supermarket."

However, Zhan Zhao really couldn't remember the name of this person, although he still remembered that the other party gave him a business card.

"Li Songtao." The dark-skinned driver smiled, then stared at Zhan Zhao with concern, and looked up and down, "Why are you here alone in the rain?"

"I—" Zhan Zhao hesitated for a moment, and suddenly felt that he didn't know how to explain his behavior to Li Songtao. In the end, he could only smile helplessly, "I'm just lost."

Li Songtao is obviously a very smart person. From Zhan Zhao's expression, he could tell that the other party hadn't told him the truth.However, as a smart person, he naturally knew that Zhan Zhao didn't want to continue talking about this topic that might embarrass him.Therefore, Li Songtao took the initiative to change the subject.

"It's lucky to get lost and meet friends. Get in the car. I'll take you where you want to go."

Zhan Zhao hesitated for a moment.And just as he was hesitating, there was another thunderstorm in the sky, and then the rain increased.Zhan Zhao felt the great cold again, and couldn't help shivering all over.

Li Songtao frowned, looked at Zhan Zhao in puzzlement, and shouted anxiously, "Why are you still standing still? Hurry up!"

Zhan Zhao didn't dare to hesitate any longer, so he could only say thank you, and got into Li Songtao's car.

After the car door was closed, Li Songtao immediately turned on the air conditioner in the car and turned up the temperature.The warm wind gradually warmed up Zhan Zhao's body, and his trembling body also slowly returned to temperature.Li Songtao got a towel out of nowhere and threw it on Zhan Zhao's body.

Zhan Zhao looked up at Li Songtao, who smiled slightly, "Wipe it, it's clean."

"Oh, thank you." While brushing his hair, Zhan Zhao lowered his head and stared at the misty road ahead, still thinking about Bai Yutang's possible whereabouts in his mind.

Li Songtao observed Zhan Zhao's expression calmly, but did not ask where Zhan Zhao was going.The car was silent, and a few minutes passed unknowingly. When Zhan Zhao raised his head again, he was surprised to find that he no longer recognized the surrounding environment.

"Where are we going?" Zhan Zhao looked at Li Songtao in surprise.

Li Songtao stared at Zhan Zhao's surprised eyes, and the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, "You finally woke up?"

Zhan Zhao was startled, "Wake up? I just—"

"You were in a daze just now." Li Songtao smiled slightly, "And you were thinking about something on your mind, so I didn't bother you."

"Things on your mind—" There was a trace of hesitation in Zhan Zhao's eyes. He had already remembered what he did just now. He actually fell into deep thought in the car of Li Songtao, whom he had only met once, and was immersed in his own thoughts all the time. .

"Yeah, you've been preoccupied just now, and you were a different person when we first met. A lot of things must have happened to you recently." Li Songtao spoke to Zhan Zhao like a A psychologist, not at all like a chef.

Zhan Zhao frowned slightly, and said with some displeasure, "Thank you for giving me a ride, I've already figured out where I'm going, please—"

"No." Li Songtao suddenly interrupted Zhan Zhao's words.

"No?" Zhan Zhao was startled, and looked at Li Songtao in surprise.

Li Songtao smiled, "Just now when you were in a daze, your stomach growled several times. You may have been concentrating on your thoughts and didn't hear it, but I know that your body is already very hungry. Now you need to eat, so I will pretend to be Advocate brought you here."

"Here?" At this moment, Zhan Zhao took a closer look at the outside of the car.

"This is where I work." Li Songtao smiled again, and at the same time, he stopped the car.

"Come on, my treat. No matter what you think about, your mind will always be clearer when you are full."

Having said that, Li Songtao got out of the car first.

Without the driver, Zhan Zhao naturally couldn't continue to sit in his car.He could only get out of the car with Li Songtao.

It was still raining heavily outside, but Zhan Zhao found that Li Songtao didn't even bring an umbrella.As soon as he got out of the car, he yelled for Zhan Zhao to keep up, while running towards a luxurious-looking three-story building in front of him.

Zhan Zhao quickly followed, and the two rushed into the three-story building at a sprint speed.And as soon as they entered, several well-trained waiters came over.

Perhaps because of the weather, there was not a single guest in this high-end hotel.Zhan Zhao followed Li Songtao to the corner of the hall, and sat opposite him under the guidance of the other party.

"Judging from the ingredients you bought last time, you like fish." Li Songtao smiled slightly, and didn't ask Zhan Zhao to order.He took the menu by himself, explained a few words to the waiter, and sent everyone away.

Zhan Zhao looked around the hall, but did not explain to Li Songtao that the last time he bought fish was not for himself, but for Bai Yutang.

Thinking of Bai Yutang, Zhan Zhao's mood became a little bad again.He let out a sigh of relief, and asked Li Songtao without words, "Do you work here?"

Li Songtao seemed to hear Zhan Zhao's absent-minded attitude, but he didn't mind.He nodded and smiled enthusiastically, "Yes, how is it? The environment is not bad!"

"Yes, it's very good." Zhan Zhao's tone was a bit perfunctory, but he could also tell that the hotel was of a high standard. Li Songtao's cooking skills must be extraordinary to be able to work in such a place.

"I'm off today, so I can't cook for you to try my cooking, but the chefs in our hotel are very good at cooking, you won't be disappointed." Li Songtao said with a smile while pouring a glass for Zhan Zhao hot tea.

"Thank you." Zhan Zhao took a sip of tea, and his cold body was completely warmed up.

Li Songtao smiled slightly, "Thank you? You are too out of touch like this. Zhan Zhao, you don't know, ever since I saw you for the first time, I have been hoping to see you again. Unfortunately, I don't have your contact way, and you didn’t call me again. I still thought I missed a good friend like you, but I didn’t expect to see you again on the main road today. It’s raining heavily in D City, and there are almost no people on the road In this weather, you and I happened to go out again, do you think this is a kind of fate?"

Li Songtao's words startled Zhan Zhao slightly, fate, these two words sound very kind.However, in today's weather, he was alone looking for Bai Yutang in the streets and alleys of City D. Could it be that he wanted to continue the so-called fate with the man in front of him?This idea made Zhan Zhao feel a little ridiculous, but also a little sad.

"You seem to be in a bad mood. Why, did you quarrel with your girlfriend?" Seeing that Zhan Zhao's face was always in a bad mood, Li Songtao suddenly asked such an abrupt question.

"——" Zhan Zhao was taken aback, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at Li Songtao. For some reason, facing this man who could almost be regarded as a stranger in front of him, Zhan Zhao actually felt a desire to talk to him.He stared into Li Songtao's eyes and nodded, "Forget it."

"No wonder." Li Songtao smiled heartily, "Looking at your young age, you actually show such a hopeless expression. It really is because of a broken love."

Lovelorn?Zhan Zhao's heart sank, and he felt even more depressed.

Just at this time, the waiter brought the delicious food.Li Songtao smiled slightly, and greeted warmly, "Okay, let's not think about women, come on, I'll help you find a way to chase her back when you're full."

woman?Zhan Zhao glanced at Li Songtao's smiling face depressedly, and said to himself, that woman is much more difficult to deal with, and I think you can't help him much.
