Chapter 10

"The number you dialed is busy, please try again later. …"

There was a lot of traffic on the street, Yang Mei stood by the door, her delicate eyebrows twitched, and she dialed the number again.

This time I waited for a long time, until I turned to the busy tone, and suddenly the opposite side was picked up: "Hello."

"Brother Jiang, are you done over there? I just finished my work, I'll go to the hospital to pick you up—"

"I was followed."

"What?!" Yang Mei was stunned, and immediately lowered her voice: "Who is it? From Gongzhou, or?"

Jiang Ting didn't answer immediately, a chill came out of Yang Mei's heart.

If it was from Gongzhou, at most he would only want his life.

But if it were another person, it might be very scary, even unimaginable.

"It's hard to say," Jiang Ting's voice finally rang again, Yang Mei felt as if he was striding forward: "This person came to the hospital to inquire about me, and he left traces, his way of doing things is very rough, not like that people on the side."

"Then what to do now?! I'll pick you up immediately!"

However, Jiang Ting's calm voice suppressed her anxiety: "No matter who wants to kill me, he doesn't know your existence for the time being, don't come to me. You go back to the store and find a few people to help, I'll lead him outside the hospital and call you later."

"Hey, Brother Jiang!..."

A busy tone came from the phone, and Jiang Ting hung up.

Jiang Ting put the phone back in his trousers pocket, raised his eyes and looked forward. On the glass door at the end of the corridor, a man suddenly appeared in the corner behind him.

- to follow so closely.

Is it too amateur, or are you planning to do it?

The passage had come to an end, and there was no way to go ahead. Jiang Ting glanced at it and went straight down the stairs. His footsteps were graceful and smooth, and the wind picked up the nurse's hair when he turned around, but he didn't stop at all and walked straight to the next level.

Fourth floor.

The inpatient department floor ends here, and there are only fire escapes and elevators down.

Jiang Ting's toes landed on the ground with no abnormal expression on his face, and his eyes wandered around in an instant. Wards, elevators, duty stations, safety gates and other directions were baked into my mind within half a second, and a floor topographic map was automatically parsed; not far away, several nurses were pushing their elderly people around slowly, and they were close to the visual inspection. Twenty meters away.

There was a thud above the head, and the stalker's pace slowed down, as if observing the situation.

At the same time, the elevator door opened with a "ding!"

The nurse pushed the trolley out of the elevator and turned to another aisle connected to the end of the corridor, ready to distribute pre-dinner soup to each ward.

From an outsider's point of view, Jiang Ting, who came down the stairs, didn't delay for a moment, as if he had planned to do so, he pulled away and turned to the end of the corridor.

The strong man in the baseball cap followed closely.

The sanatorium pays more attention to the indoor environment, and large pots of green plants are placed at the corners of each interconnected corridor. Turning around the lush green leaves, the lunch cart really stopped at the entrance of the first ward above. There were cups of steaming pork ribs soup neatly lined up in the car. The nurse had already entered the ward, and a small gap was hidden in the door. .

Jiang stopped passing the lunch car, picked up a cup of soup without looking at it, poured it on the ground behind him, put the empty bowl back on the car, the whole set of movements was smooth, and then continued to walk forward.

After a few seconds, bang!

As soon as the man in the baseball cap turned the corner, he was caught off guard and was swept up and down by the soup all over the floor. Then, the lunch cart was knocked over by a smash, and it drove all over the place.

"Oh! What's going on?" "Nurse, nurse!" "Quick, someone help him up!"

There was a lot of noise in the corridor, and the baseball cap man grinned, instantly becoming the center of sight of the entire floor. A few nurses came to Misheng, and rushed over without even holding the little round hat, helped him up with all his hands and feet, and asked if he was hot.

"I'm fine, you let go, I..."

The man in the baseball cap struggled and probed, and after seeing the crowd, Jiang Ting's back flashed around the corner, and then disappeared.

"Fuck!"

The man in the baseball cap scolded fiercely, hurriedly broke free from support, and perfunctory the nurse, hurried forward, took out his mobile phone, and said in a low voice, "Hey, the situation is not good, the idea is missed!"

There was a moment of silence on the opposite side, and a female voice came out:

"Discovered?"

"It must have been discovered!"

The man in the baseball cap hurried across the corridor, disappearing from sight of the target. At this time, the elevator door not far away is ding again! With a bang, he turned his head and saw Jiang Zing's back entering the elevator.

On the other side of the phone, a female voice said coldly, "Get rid of him, and I'll send someone to pick you up."

The baseball cap man no longer hesitated, turned around and rushed over!

Jiang Ting pressed the door to close, then pressed the top floor, staring blankly at the baseball cap in the distance, the elevator door slowly closed just before he rushed up.

——But then, the elevator went straight downstairs!

Jiang Ting let out a soft hiss.

When escaping by elevator, it is better to go upstairs rather than downstairs, because people within three floors rush down the stairs quickly, and the large double-door elevators in hospitals are usually slower.

At this speed, even if he successfully arrived at the lobby on the first floor, the arrival time of the man in the baseball cap would not differ by at most three to four seconds.

Ding!

The elevator door opened again, and before a few people outside waiting for the elevator came in, Jiang Ting had already squeezed out first and walked quickly towards the main entrance.

However, just like the time difference he estimated, Jiang Ting had just come out a few seconds before the fire corridor door in the corner was opened. The man in the baseball cap rushed out the door, and after searching the crowd for a few seconds, he locked Jiang Ting's position, and rushed towards him while putting his hand in his pocket!

Jiang Ting took out his mobile phone and slid to the recent contacts page. At the same time, his pace quickened, and he forced his way through the payment queue.

Several aunts in line were angry: "What are you doing, what are you squeezing!"

Jiang Ting didn't respond, kept walking, and dialed Yang Mei's mobile number.

"Hey, another jumper!" The aunts behind him shouted again: "What are you pushing at a young age!" "Are you in a hurry to reincarnate, what qualities do you have?"

Jiang Ting turned his head and saw that the man in the baseball cap also shoved out of the paying team!

The dialing interface of the mobile phone showed that the other party was connected, and Yang Mei asked nervously, "Hello, Brother Jiang?"

"You're here..." Jiang Zing said as he turned his head, who would have suddenly bumped into someone head-on—Bang!

Jiang Ting staggered for half a step, raised his hand to cover his mouth and nose, and before he recovered from his grief, he heard a familiar male voice say in surprise with a smile:

"Hey, what a coincidence, isn't this Mr. Lu?"

Jiang Ting looked up, Yan Xun folded his arms and looked at him with a smile.

"Brother Jiang, hello?" Yang Mei's anxious voice came from the phone: "Brother Jiang?"

Five meters away, the man with the baseball cap put his right hand in his pocket, his burly muscles tightened under the T-shirt, and most of his body was hidden behind the crowd. hyena.

Yang Meijian almost trembled: "Brother Jiang! Tell me back! Are you alright?!"

"—Yo, I'm on the phone." Yan Yan raised the corner of his mouth with a faint smile: "That's okay, you're busy, see you later."

As he said that, he raised his foot and brushed past, walking towards the elevator.

Within a thousandth of a second, Jiang Ting made a decision.

"It's okay, I met Deputy Team Yan at the hospital, and I'll call you back later." Jiang Ting hung up the phone, turned around and stretched out his hand, grabbing Yan Yan's arm in a hurry:

"Team Yan..."

Yan Yan tilted her head and glanced.

I don't know if it was Jiang Ting's delusion, but this guy is always sloppy, more like a wealthy policeman than the deputy detachment leader. When he looked at him with such determination, there seemed to be an indescribable glint in his eyes. Heart-wrenching light.

Yan Yan asked, "What's the matter?"

Jiang Ting let out a breath, as if to let out all his emotions, and then laughed: "Why is Team Yan here?"

Yan Yan said, "My relatives are in the hospital here, and I just happened to be fine today, so I stopped by to have a look. How about you?"

Jiang Ting said with a smile, "I've been out of the hospital for a few days, so I'm here for a re-examination."

"Oh, that's okay, right?"

"It's all ok."

Having said this, Jiang Ting paused for a while, and before he could speak, Yan Yan almost deliberately raised his hand and glanced at his watch: "No problem, I won't bother you anymore, so as not to disturb you and the little girl. Friends in the world, we will be annoying the people's police later. That's it, I'll go first."

Yan Yan gestured and drew his hands, but as expected, Jiang Ting turned around as soon as he made a move: "Team Yan—"

"how?"

Yan Yan's net height is one meter eighty-seven, standing in the crowd can be regarded as condescending, with his arms around him, with an aura of refusing to be thousands of miles away.

As expected of an old criminal policeman who has worked for more than ten years, when he is staring at someone like this, his aura is strong enough to make the object he locks unavoidable.

Jiang Ting tilted his face sideways, slightly tilted, and this angle made the tip of his eyes slightly hook. He seemed a little weak in front of Yan Yan. After hesitating for a while, he still said sincerely: "Yang Mei's store has resumed business. It must be said by Team Yan, and I haven't had a chance to thank you. It's rare to see you today, why don't you? I'll invite Team Yan to have a meal, otherwise I'll feel uneasy."

Yan Yan stared at him, and said in a very serious tone: "It's just business, what else do you need to eat. Your little girlfriend isn't waiting for you outside? Don't make her wait." He said without waiting for Jiang Ting When you speak, you get out and leave.

"—Hey," Jiang Ting quickly stopped him: "Yang Mei is not here today."

These words were really driven out by Yan Yan. But as soon as he exited Jiang Ting, he was stunned, feeling a little weird.

——He looked up at Yan Yan slightly, and the shape of the corners of his brows and eyes looked very beautiful. At this time, the gesture almost seemed like a pleading. The two were extremely close, and Jiang Ting still put one hand on the other's muscular forearm.

If Jiang Ting is a woman, this scene is actually very ambiguous, and even a bit heart-warming.

Not far away, the man in the baseball cap looked at Yan Yun vigilantly, but did not dare to act rashly for a while.

"Oh," Yan Yan's smile became more obvious, almost intentional: "I said why did you suddenly take the initiative, so Yang Mei is not here today?"

Jiang Ting: "..."

"Okay." Before he could taste the weirder taste, Yan Yan pulled back to him and said with a smile, "It's better to choose a day than to hit the sun, just today."

It was noon, and there were more people on the street. In early May, the golden sun swayed on the asphalt road, and I was sweating after walking two steps against the sun. Yan Yan rolled up his sleeves to his upper arm, and looked at Jiang Ting with a half-smile: "Isn't it hot to wear so much?"

Jiang Ting's cell phone vibrated silently in his trousers pocket. He pressed it off and said lightly, "I'm a person who is almost half-crippled. How can I have such a lot of heat on my body as Team Yan."

Yan Yan glanced at Jiang Ting's cuff, which was tightly buckled to his wrist, and smiled: "What are you talking about, why is it so serious that half-disability is so serious? Mr. Lu looks much younger than me."

Jiang Ting had no choice but to shirk: "Don't make fun of me."

Yan Yan said: "This is not a joke, I am very serious. I have wanted to have a meal with you since the first time I met you, Mr. Lu."

Jiang Ting: "..."

"Today I finally got what I wanted, it's not easy—!"

Yan Yan's sighing didn't seem like a fake at all, so that Jiang Ting's expression was a little subtle.

This guy must be out of his mind.

Yan Yan asked: "Do you think that I have either done something wrong in handling the case, or that my brain is not normal?"

"..." Jiang Ting said, "Why do I think about Vice-Captain Yan so much?"

Yan Yan suddenly stopped and turned around, his eyes swept behind him from the corner of his eye - ten meters away, a black baseball cap quickly disappeared into the bustling crowd.

But Yan Xun didn't seem to be there, grabbed Jiang Ting's wrist and said with a smile, "Do you believe there is a saying in this world 'getting together at first sight', Mr. Lu?"

In an instant, his fingers clearly felt the uneven skin under Jiang Ting's sleeve, which was an old wound left by the bite on the inside of his wrist.

Jiang Ting twitched his hand slightly, but Yan Xun clenched it tightly and did not let go. Jiang Ting asked quietly, "Oh?"

"The first time I saw you, Mr. Lu, it was like seeing an old friend who I've always wanted to see but always wanted to see, but you're always with that Yang Mei, and I don't know if you despise our people's police or simply despise me. People. So, being able to sit at the same table with you today and eat on an equal footing is something that I have never thought of before." Yan Yan deepened his smile and said, "That's why fate in the world is going around in circles, it really makes me happy. It's unpredictable, haha-"

Yan Yan's facial features were hard, but when he stared at Jiang Ting with such a smile, there was a strong and cold malevolence in his eyes.

"..." Jiang Zing pulled out his hand a little bit, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything. He just smiled and spit out two words: "Really?"

His expression was as usual, but Yan Yan was sure that Jiang Ting's good self-discipline in this life was condensed in these short two words.

"Isn't it?" Yan Yan was still in the mood, and just about to chase after him, suddenly the phone rang.

"It's in the team." Yan Yan regretted: "I'm sorry, I'll take it, you wait."

At this time, they were standing at the exit of a shopping mall with a lot of traffic. Yan Yan deliberately walked two steps away to pick up the phone, only to hear Ma Xiang's voice over there, full of exhaustion: "Hello brother Yan, no, surnamed Hu. That grandson is dead or alive, and our brothers are no different. Where are you?"

Yan Yan looked down the steps and saw Jiang Zing standing on the sidewalk, paying attention here while holding his mobile phone.

"Yuanhang Commercial Building in the city center." Yan Yan stopped smiling at the river, but said to the phone: "I'm looking into a case from a few years ago, nothing urgent, you will wait for me to call back later."

Ma Xiang's sleepiness was swept away: "Oh my brother Yan, why did you go out alone, do you want reinforcements?"

"No, no one is allowed to say anything about me today, including Bureau Wei and Lao Qin."

"Then can you do it alone?"

At this moment, Jiang Ting's phone vibrated, and he lowered his head.

Yan Yan looked into the distance, and the baseball cap man hid behind the trash can, pretending to smoke a cigarette unintentionally.

The mantis catches the cicada, followed by the oriole.

Yan Yan smiled silently, and moved back unobtrusively: "No problem, it's already in the trap."

Jiang Ting opened the screen of his mobile phone and pressed the voice button, his voice was very low in the noisy background of the street: "Yan Yan and I are going in the direction of the Jinyansha Hotel, there is a back alley called Sanmao Street at the back door. You take people to drive and set up an ambush. The target is about 1.85 meters, very strong, wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt and a black baseball cap. Don't be nervous, just like you used to cooperate with the police to set up ambush and arrest people, I will put it later People lead him over, you knock him out and bring him back to KTV, and wait for me to go back and deal with it."

Yang Mei brought a male employee from KTV Lila by her side. She could hear but could not speak.

Jiang Ting glanced over, put the phone back in his pocket, and was stunned when he raised his head again.

Yan Yan was gone.

In just two seconds, Yan Yan's figure disappeared.

Jiang Ting's first reaction was to look around, and then his heart sank, and all kinds of possibilities passed through his brain at the same time - where did Yan Yan go?

Has he found something unusual?

Was it originally planned to appear in a nursing home by such a coincidence?

Jiang Ting hurried to the steps of the shopping mall, and at the same time dialed Yan Yan's phone. After two rings, the other party hung up.

Jiang Ting: "..."

He called again and hung up after the same two calls.

The stalker also seemed to have noticed something was wrong and walked slowly towards it.

Jiang Ting has seen all kinds of cases, and his understanding of safety is different from that of ordinary people. He knew that a place with security and surveillance like a hospital was fine, but on the road during the day, although it seemed to be crowded, it was actually not safe.

Shouting casually "catch the thief" or "hit the mistress", or plan an efficient and short-lived riot in a planned and organized way, it is possible to kidnap a person in just a few minutes without attracting much attention. Even if there are witnesses at the scene, it is difficult for the police to organize the confusing and fragmented adjectives into valid testimony.

The baseball cap man looked around hesitantly, but did not see Yan Yan's shadow, and finally made up his mind.

"Yang Mei, something is wrong here." Jiang Ting made a phone call and walked quickly towards the hotel: "Go to the original location immediately and wait for the target, and ask two people to pick me up. I'm passing through the main entrance of Yuanhang shopping mall... "

Yang Mei's voice was the same as her current state, as if the bowstring was stretched to the extreme: "Understood! I'll call someone to cover you and send me a place to share!"

"It's too late," Jiang Ting turned around and saw that the man had been pushed from the crowd, and he was five or six meters away: "He's catching up!"

As if the silent alarm pierced the air, at the same moment, Jiang Ting and the baseball cap started running wildly at the same time!

"Oops! Be careful!" "You who can't see the road, are you rushing to reincarnate?!"

"Beep"

The horns sounded one after another, but Jiang Ting didn't stop at all. He almost wiped the front of the car and dashed across the road, heading into the alley.

Thanks to Jianning's relatively slow urban construction, these few winding alleys like sheep intestines have not been demolished to the point where Jiang Ting does not know them. He swept through the long wall at the back of the school like wind, and protested overwhelmed by his knees, but the hurried footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer, and even gradually could be heard clearly.

"I'm here!" The wind made Yang Mei's cry on the other end of the phone intermittently: "Come here quickly!"

The man had already tried to see the poor dagger, and he was chasing after him to seven or eight meters away. Jiang Ting glanced back, not daring to really be caught up. Seeing that the wall in front of him had collapsed halfway, he ran a few steps and supported with one hand, passed it beautifully, and landed steadily.

He stood up, and before he had time to continue running, his mouth and nose were suddenly covered from behind!

"...!"

The man was obviously well-trained and extremely strong. He covered Jiang Ting's struggles into his throat with only one hand. At the same time, he wrapped his whole arm around him, dragged him into the bushes, turned himself against the wall, and then came down cleanly and neatly.He was showing the phone that was in the call status and pressed it directly.

"Have you never asked the right person for help?" He leaned into Jiang Ting's ear and whispered, "This is really troublesome."
