I was sitting alone in the backyard of the Xingyun hotel, looking at the courtyard that had not changed much since the opening. The furnishings were almost the same as before, but the tree in the courtyard seemed taller. We used to chat in this courtyard, peel garlic and choose vegetables, leaving a lot of time here.
The restaurant has only been open for more than a year. Thinking back on the past, I don''t know why, I feel that it is so far away, as if those things have happened for a long time...
After thinking about it for more than an hour, I agreed with Lin Ya and followed Hu Zi!
I really can''t think of any other way. I wish I was too paranoid, but with so many doubts, I''m afraid that Hu Zi would lose his moral bottom line for revenge.
I didn''t tell Old Gao about it. I just told him to work harder these days. I had something to leave for a few days. Looking at my serious face, what did Old Gao ask me? I can''t tell him now, and I don''t know how to tell him, but I also know that I can''t lie to him, so I have to say that you will know in a few days.
I found Lin Ya. I thought about it. That''s it.
Then Lin Ya and I went out to buy a telescope, two hats, a mask, and a few bottles of water.
I''m not a detective. I don''t know any detective skills. I can only buy a pair of binoculars and observe Hu Zi in the dark.
Originally, I planned to follow Hu Zi alone, but Lin Ya insisted on coming with me. She said that since she had to follow him 24 hours a day, it was not enough for one person to follow him. At any rate, two people had to follow him together.
I thought about it and agreed. Lin Ya could give me some ideas.
Now I can drive three cars, one is Lin Ya''s, one is mine, and one is Hu Zi''s in the Xingyun hotel, but Hu Zi knows all three cars. If he wants to follow him, he probably can''t drive these three cars.
I thought about it and called my future brother-in-law, Di Ming. I know how many cars Di Ming has. Ask him to borrow one. Di Ming was as generous as ever. He said that he and my cousin were still out of town and that they would send the car to the restaurant later.
I said just get an ordinary car. Don''t make it too conspicuous. The car that Di Ming drove to our restaurant for the first time won''t do.
In this way, I owe Di Ming another favor, but it''s almost a family, and I''m not polite to him, so I owe Di Ming another drink.
In the afternoon, a man drove an inconspicuous black volkswagen to the restaurant.
So, this car became the vehicle we used to track Hu Zi.
Lin Ya and I didn''t waste any time, so we immediately took action. We even put the blankets in the car, because it would be very cold at night. After preparing everything we thought of, we drove all the way to a parking space near the Yu xiangyuan and stopped.
We don''t have much experience, so we can only try to find a relatively hidden location where we can see the Yu xiangyuan gate.
Although I think what Lin Ya said about tracking Hu Zi is feasible, I don''t know if I can get any useful information from two laymen, Lin Ya and I.
After parking the car, Lin Ya and I sat in the car and looked at the door of the Yu xiangyuan. We could clearly see the people coming and going from yu xiangyuan with our eyeglasses.
I wonder if Hu Zi is in the Yu xiangyuan now.
The arrow is already on the string, so we can only wait here foolishly.
This kind of behavior, it felt like those entertainment paparazzi, but I didn''t feel any tension or excitement at all, I just felt particularly bored, the time was extremely torturous, the blink of an eye more than an hour passed, we don''t even know if Hu Zi is in the Yu xiangyuan.
"Girl, do you think we can do this?" I asked Lin Ya with little confidence.
"We''ll see if we can give it a try." Lin ya lay in the chair with her eyes closed, looking relaxed.
I was so anxious that I said, "Do you think Hu Zi is in the restaurant now?"
"I don''t know. Wait." Lin ya looked at me and comforted me, "Don''t be anxious. This is not an urgent matter."
I know it''s not an urgent matter. It''s just that I can''t adjust my mind for a while. I can only try to relax myself.
Time passed, and it was only at night that we caught sight of Hu Zi, who had just arrived at the Yu xiangyuan and had not been in the hotel before.
I smiled bitterly and complained to lin ya, "If I knew Hu Zi wasn''t in the restaurant, I wouldn''t have been staring at him."
"That''s a good thing."
"What good thing?" I don''t understand what Lin Ya said.
Lin Ya said faintly, "Think about it. If Hu Zi isn''t at the restaurant most of the time every day, where is he? We don''t know! But the next time he goes out, we''ll be able to follow him and find out who he''s been in contact with and what he''s done."
I nodded. Lin Ya had a point.
It was getting dark very quickly, and after sitting in the car for a few hours, I felt particularly uncomfortable. My butt felt uncomfortable, and I couldn''t help but want to get down and move. But I was afraid of being seen by Hu Zi, so I could only sit here foolishly.
It''s winter now. Although the temperature inside the car is much higher than outside, it''s still cold after sitting in the car for a long time. I don''t know how to stay up tonight.
Time passed, and Hu Zi didn''t come out after he entered the Yu xiangyuan.
I asked Lin Ya, "Are you hungry, girl? Why don''t you go out and eat first? I''ll be here alone."
"I''m not too hungry. What about you?"
"A little." I curled my lips and smiled bitterly, "I''m just sitting here feeling bored and flustered. I want to go out for a walk."
"You really don''t feel well. Just get out of the car and move around. It''s getting dark anyway. It''s so far away. Hu Zi and the others can''t see us either."
"Hey, okay."
I scared the car, stretched my arms and legs, and shook my neck. Although it was cold outside, the air was still more comfortable than the air in the car.
I smiled and said to Lin Ya in the car, "Aren''t you going out for a little exercise?"
Lin Ya came out of the car, and we stood in the cold wind, looking at the Yu xiangyuan door from time to time, and then at the world of lights and wine.
I wanted to ask lin ya if we were asking for trouble by doing this, but after thinking about it, let''s not say anything so discouraged.
However, Lin Ya seemed to sense my thoughts. She said to me in an encouraging tone, "We can only wait for the rabbit in the stupidest way."
I nodded. Lin Ya was right. We could only do it the stupidest way.
The air outside was cool. After standing for a while, it felt a little cold. Lin Ya also wrapped his clothes and shivered a few times.
I thought it was getting late, so I said to Lin Ya, "Girl, you go back first. I''ll be here alone tonight."
I was thinking that Lin Ya would go back to bed at night and watch the Yu xiangyuan for me during the day tomorrow.
Lin ya looked at me for a while, shook her head and replied, "I''ll just sleep in the car. The first night, you won''t be able to stay up by yourself. Call me when you''re sleepy."
"No need..."
However, before I could finish my sentence, Lin Ya interrupted me. She said to me, "All right, stop it. There''s a blanket in the car. Just sleep in the car."
I knew Lin Ya''s temper, and did not say much, but could only nod helplessly, but my heart felt warm because of Lin Ya''s behavior. I would definitely suffer if I squatted here alone at night, but Lin Ya felt different, with a companion, psychologically, would be much more comfortable.
"What are you eating? I''ll bring you a takeout."
"No, I''m not too hungry today. I''ll just buy some snacks later."
"How is that possible?"
"It''s okay. I just don''t have an appetite. If you want to eat, go ahead and eat. I''ll wait for you here."
Lin Ya doesn''t want to eat, and I don''t want to eat anymore. We''re like comrades in the war now. I want to stand with her.
"Okay, I''ll go to Camry plaza and buy something to eat."
"No." Lin Ya stopped him and said, "Don''t go. You''ve met Jiamei''s Qin Boss. What if he sees you and becomes suspicious? I''ll go."
"No way. What a coincidence. Besides, it doesn''t mean anything that I''m going shopping at Jiamei."
"Be careful." Lin Ya said, "If Camry plaza was set up with Hu Zi to frame Rainbow square, he must be guilty and paranoid when he sees you. Since we have even used the'' tracking''method, it''s better to be careful so as not to fail."
I nodded. What Lin Ya said made sense. Since we did this, we should be careful.
Lin ya went shopping in Camry plaza while I stood outside the car and continued to stare at the Yu xiangyuan.
And in my heart, there were some waves.
Hu Zi, how I wish I had wronged you...
Thinking back, I called Ding Ge again.
From now on, she will live at home and can''t see her every day, but on the bright side, I will have time to follow Hu Zi.
On the phone, I talked to dinger for a while, and I didn''t tell Ding Ge what I was doing either.
After a while, lin ya came back with a few bags of things in her hand. Then we went back to the car and turned on the lights. Lin Ya took out a cotton-padded jacket from one of her pockets and said, "I was afraid you would be cold at night. I bought you a dress. It must be very cold at night. Wear thicker."
"How can I let you spend money?" I really didn''t expect Lin Ya to buy the clothes on the way. She thought it through too much.
Between us, it was too polite to say thank you.
Lin Ya smiled and said, "It''s very cheap. It costs more than fifty yuan a piece. Although it doesn''t look good, it''s very warm to wear."
I put on a cotton-padded jacket. As expected, such a jacket would not let young people like us wear it, nor would a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties walk on the street.
Lin Ya also put on another one. Both of them were wrapped in big black cotton-padded jackets, looking like two muscular but clumsy strong men.
We looked at each other and looked at each other with disdain.
Then we had some snacks in the car.
Not long after, Lin Ya didn''t talk to me much and fell asleep in the car.
Lin Ya slept in the back seat. We put down the seat in the back seat. Lin Ya''s body could stretch out, but sleeping in the car was definitely not as comfortable as sleeping in the bed.
Oh, it''s been hard on her.
I turned off the lights in the car and there was silence in the car. Lin Ya''s breathing was so light that I could hardly hear her breathing in front of me, so I didn''t know if she was asleep.
It''s only nine o'' clock now. For us working in the restaurant, it''s okay to stay up until twelve.
As time went by, the door of Camry plaza was closed across the street, and the world suddenly became much clearer. The sky darkened, leaving only the soft streetlights with a slanting light. The cars on the road were still passing by, and the road was still busy.
Yu xiangyuan''s door was still bright, and at around eleven o'' clock, there was a sudden movement from the Yu xiangyuan, and a few people came out of the door.
