"I'm tired now. I'm sleepy. I'm going to sleep."
Du Mosheng replied and hurried back to the room. She locked the door and leaned against the door. Her whole body was trembling. She didn't know what to feel in her heart.
Although she didn't know why she couldn't be happy about Li Boyang's visit this time, after all, she would officially visit her parents tomorrow.
At this time, if he made such a scandal, she didn't know how to explain it to her parents.
Could it be that he pushed off her appointment and said that he would accompany the company's boss to socialize, but in fact, he stayed in the room to call prostitutes?
No, impossible, Boyang was not that kind of person.
Besides, if he really wanted to call prostitutes, wasn't it safer in Yuezhou? Why did he have to come to Ninghai to call prostitutes?
Du Mosheng shook her head in disbelief and rejected the idea with illogical reasoning.
But who else could the familiar figure that flashed by on the TV be but him? That scene kept appearing in her mind like a nightmare, and she couldn't help but think in that direction.
In addition, after Li Boyang sent a text message in the evening to push off the appointment, he hadn't called or sent any text messages until now.
You know, he came to Ninghai to see her parents. Didn't he need to communicate with her in advance tonight? This kind of behavior didn't seem to make sense.
Maybe he drank too much.
Du Mosheng tried to find a reason for him to excuse himself, but even she felt that this reason was untenable.
If he really drank too much, it meant that he didn't take seeing her parents seriously at all. It also proved that he didn't care about her at all.
Thinking of this, Du Mosheng was upset for a while. Even if she didn't want to think about it in a certain way, she couldn't help but think that the biggest possibility of this situation was that he was now locked in the police station and lost his freedom, unable to contact her at all.
Forget it, why think so much? Wouldn't it be better to call and ask?
Du Mosheng climbed onto the bed lightly, turned off the light, hid in the quilt, and quietly dialed the phone.
"Sorry, the phone you dialed is powered off …"
Listening to the phone being powered off, Du Mosheng's face was extremely complicated. She lay on the bed and couldn't fall asleep. Her heart was full of mixed feelings, and she didn't know what to feel.
Tonight, not only her, but for many people, it was destined to be a sleepless night.
Such as Minister Wang, Shi Manli, Zhao Gang, and … Li Boyang.
Li Boyang had a headache. He thought that he would just admit that he was a prostitute.
Fine the prostitute a bit of money and that's it.
Little did he expect that he would be taken to an office in the police station and ordered not to go out.
The customers were taken away by the police one by one. Only he seemed to have been forgotten. Until now, no one had come to interrogate him.
Even the policemen who occasionally came in to pour tea didn't bother to look at him, as if he was an invisible man who didn't exist.
Fortunately, there was a heater in the room, so they did not feel cold. However, their stomachs were so hungry that they were grumbling. Their mouths were so dry that they could not even swallow their saliva.
If it weren't for the fact that his phone and ID were being held by the police, he would have slipped away.
Finally, the door was opened again. The policeman who had come in a few times before walked in with a tired face. Li Boyang showed a flattering smile and begged in a hoarse voice, "Big Brother, can I have some water?"
"Damn, why is there another person?"
The policeman was shocked and looked at him in surprise.
Li Boyang felt so wronged that he wanted to cry. He didn't want to stay here, but the problem was that no one interrogated him. Where else could he be if not here?
"You haven't been interrogated yet, have you?"
The policeman looked at him up and down and asked in disbelief.
Li Boyang's eyes were full of tears, and his head nodded like a chicken pecking rice. Finally, someone asked him this question.
The policeman seemed to think of something. He pointed at him and thought, "You are … Li Boyang, right?"
Li Boyang's throat was so dry that even his voice was a little hoarse. He nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "Yes, yes, yes, my name is Li Boyang."
The policeman slapped his forehead in annoyance, poured him a glass of water, and said apologetically, "Hey, look at my brain. Chief Zhao informed us to let you go a long time ago. It's just that there were too many people arrested today, and we were so busy that we forgot about you. I thought Xiao Liu had already let you go."
Li Boyang looked at him with tears in his eyes and secretly cursed, "Do you think I have been let go long ago? Am I so handsome that I don't stand out? Can't you see such a big man going back and forth more than a dozen times? "
But no matter how unhappy he was, he didn't dare to lose his temper. Even if he didn't break the law, the thing between him and Shi Manli couldn't be seen. He should be thankful that he could go out safely. How could he dare to find trouble?
"Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu, come here."
The policeman opened the door, poked his head out and shouted.
The young policeman named Xiao Liu quickly ran over and asked, "Captain Zhang, are you looking for me?"
"There's still a man named Li Boyang who hasn't left. Return his belongings to him and let him go."
The policeman called Captain Zhang rubbed his face and gave the order casually.
"Oh, okay."
Xiao Liu answered and hurried out.
After Captain Zhang gave his instructions, he ignored Li Boyang. He closed the curtains and opened the foldable sofa. He took out a blanket and laid it on the sofa. Then, he fell asleep. He was probably exhausted. In less than two minutes, he started snoring.
Anyway, he would be able to go out soon. Li Boyang felt relieved and sat on the chair, waiting patiently.
But after waiting for a long time, Xiao Liu didn't come back. He didn't want to disturb Captain Zhang's sweet dream, so he continued to wait patiently.
Maybe because he was too hungry, Li Boyang drank a cup of hot water and didn't feel hungry anymore. Captain Zhang's snoring seemed to be contagious, making him sleepy. He waited and waited until his eyelids gradually became heavy and he fell asleep.
"Wake up, wake up …"
Not knowing how long he slept, Li Boyang felt someone shaking his body. He sleepily opened his eyes and saw Xiao Liu shoving a plastic bag into his arms. Xiao Liu said unhappily, "If you want to sleep, go home. This is your belongings. Check it."
"Uh, it's not missing."
Li Boyang stood up and stretched his stiff neck. He glanced at it and said quickly.
The plastic bag was a transparent evidence bag. It contained his ID, mobile phone, watch, wallet, and other belongings, which could be seen at a glance.
"Okay, since it's not missing, you can sign here and go."
Xiao Liu, with dark circles under his eyes, yawned and handed him a blank form.
"Oh, okay."
Although Li Boyang was dissatisfied with Xiao Liu's delay, now that he got his things back, he was free. He didn't want to stay here for another minute. He signed his name and walked out with a smile and a bow. "I've signed it, I'm leaving."
"Go, go. I need to sleep for a while after staying up all night."
Xiao Liu waved his hand, opened the door, and left with a tired face. Captain Zhang was still snoring, and he didn't wake up.
Stayed up all night?
Li Boyang's face froze. Even though his phone and watch had been taken away, and he didn't know the exact time, he guessed that when Captain Zhang asked Xiao Liu to fetch the things for him, it should have been around one or two in the morning at most. It couldn't have taken him several hours to fetch the things, right? This efficiency was unparalleled.
But what could he say? He couldn't sue them for illegal detention, right? If things got out of hand, he and Shi Manli would be the unlucky ones.
He shook his head helplessly and strode out. Looking at the sky that was already bright outside, he couldn't help but feel his heart sink. Oh no, he still had to go to Du Mosheng's house to see his parents today.
He hurriedly looked at the time on his watch. It was already 7: 30. This made him a little flustered. He could only secretly pray that Du Mosheng wouldn't go to the hotel to find him so early.
He immediately stopped a taxi on the side of the road and rushed to the Kaiyuan Hotel in a hurry.
Beep, beep, beep.
Turning on the phone, the notification sound kept ringing. Looking at the no less than 20 missed call reminders from Du Mosheng last night, Li Boyang wanted to die. He didn't reply immediately, but closed his eyes. His brain was spinning rapidly, making up a reason to deceive Du Mosheng.
However, he didn't notice that in an inconspicuous Audi A6 at the entrance of the district bureau, Du Mosheng was silently watching the taxi he took leave.
In an office of the Jingpu Branch, Xiao Liu was making a phone call with a smile on his face. "Xiao Mu, I've just let that kid go after dragging me for so long."
"Okay, Liu Zheng, thank you so much. You've helped me a lot. I'll treat you to a drink some other day."
Fang Xiaomu's grateful voice came from the phone.
"Hey, who are we brothers? It's just a piece of cake. What's more, that kid looks shifty-eyed and doesn't look like a good person at first glance. Hey, Xiao Mu, tell me, is there any other case on this guy that you're eyeing?"
Liu Zheng lowered his voice and asked mysteriously.
It was Fang Xiaomu's classmate at the police academy in the same period. The relationship between the two had always been good, so when Fang Xiaomu called and asked him to help drag Li Boyang and let him out in the morning, he agreed without hesitation.
He knew Fang Xiaomu. He was not a person who would abandon the public for personal reasons. Therefore, he subconsciously thought that Li Boyang must have committed some kind of crime, so he asked him to cooperate to drag that guy.
"Hehe, although we have a good relationship, we still have to abide by the discipline that should be observed."
On the other end of the phone, Fang Xiaomu blushed and gave a perfunctory laugh.
He didn't know whether Li Boyang had other cases, but this was the first time that Consultant Ding asked him for help, so he must do it well. What's more, such a thing did not violate the discipline, so it was really a piece of cake for Xiao Liu.
"I understand, I understand. Xiao Mu, if there's a chance, you have to help me. You also know that my dream is to be a criminal police officer. The Public Security Brigade is filled with trivial cases every day. It's not interesting at all."
Liu Zheng stammered and said coyly.
He had just joined the work for a few years, and the passion in his bones had not faded. He wholeheartedly wanted to be a criminal policeman. Among his classmates who graduated from the police academy in the same period, only Fang Xiaomu did the best. Now he was the captain of the criminal police squadron, which made him very envious.
"You have to think about it carefully. Criminal policemen are not as easy as the security brigade. They work hard day and night, and their lives may be in danger at any time. Don't regret it at that time."
As an experienced person, Fang Xiaomu knew the dream of his old classmate, but being a criminal policeman was really not an ordinary person. He knew the hardships and dangers in it, and he did not want his old classmate to do it from the bottom of his heart.
"I've thought about it clearly. Being a criminal policeman has always been my dream. Handling cases, handling major criminal cases, that's what a hot-blooded man should do. I will never regret it."
As soon as Liu Zheng heard that there was a chance, he immediately puffed out his chest and said resolutely.
In Liu Zheng's nervous expectation, Fang Xiaomu was silent for a long time, and then slowly said, "Well, I'll find a chance to talk to Captain Xiao and see if I can borrow you first. After you make some achievements, I'll officially transfer your working relationship to me."
