Far away in Moscow

Chapter 229
"You! What's wrong with you?!" Hu Yi was taken aback and shouted out.

"I've been robbed! It's cold and...and...Brother Hu!" Xiao Linzi cried incoherently, "I'm about to freeze to death! Brother Hu, save me!"

"Calm down! Where are you now?"

"I, I, don't know!" Xiao Linzi cried loudly, "I only, I only remember your phone number! I don't know anything else!"

"Then where can I find you?" Hu Yi repeatedly complained: "Don't worry, let's speak clearly first, what's going on?"

"Okay, okay." Xiao Linzi took a few breaths: "I went to buy a computer in the afternoon and went home with the case in my arms. As soon as I left the market, I ran into two policemen on the side of the road who came to check... Check the passport! I will give them Look at the passport, they won't return it to me, but still... let me get in the car!"

"Let you get in the car?!" Hu Yi shouted, "Those two are really policemen?! Are you sure?!"

"No, no, no... I know... Anyway... I'm wearing a police uniform, with a gun and a holster on my waist."

"Where's the car? Is it a police car?"

"Okay...it doesn't seem to be..."

"Hey! How could the police patrol the streets without driving a police car?" Hu Yi stomped his feet anxiously: "Then you followed?!"

"They pulled and tugged, and couldn't understand what they were saying. I... dare not stop!" Xiao Linzi's voice was trembling, and he didn't know whether it was cold or frightened: "They got me in and drove for a long time. It took a long time! Hit me when I got out of the car! And sprayed some spicy and choking things on my face! Then dragged me into the woods and tore off my passport! Take off my clothes! They also stole electricity, computers, mobile phones and money!"

"Damn! Bastard!" Hu Yi scratched his hair a few times, calmed down a little, and asked, "Where are you calling now? Whose phone is it?"

"On the side of the road!" Xiao Linzi said tremblingly: "It took me a long time to find the road! I stopped a car! I borrowed a mobile phone!"

"What's that place? Is there a sign or something?"

"No... I don't know, there are forests on both sides of this place, and there is only a road in the middle, there is no sign!"

"You...you..." Hu Yi touched the back of his head with one hand, and turned around anxiously: "You let that car take you back! Give him more money!"

"I won't say, just wait!" Hearing Xiao Linzi's voice move away from the microphone, he stammered, "You, this, please, please!"

No one spoke.After a rustling noise, Xiao Linzi said thank you in Russian very unfamiliarly.Then a man with a deep voice said, "Go in."

"What... what?"

"Let you in!" The voice sounded impatient.

There was a "bang", like a car door closing, and the man put his mouth next to the phone: "Talk."

"Hello! Thank you very much for your help!" Hu Yi tried his best to convey his gratitude to the other party through his tone: "My friend doesn't speak Russian, and it is very difficult to encounter this kind of thing. Could you please send He sent it back? We will definitely pay more."

"Pay?" The man sniffed, then smacked his mouth again: "Where are you taking him?"

"Please take him to the Cherkizovsky market, I wonder if it's far from you?"

"What market? I've never heard of it." The man's speech was a little slurred, probably because he drank a lot of wine.

"It's just in Izmailova... what? You don't know? Metro blue line, one stop before <May Day> station?"

"Subway? What subway? Where is the subway?" The man asked drunkenly, "What are you talking about? Where are you?"

"In Moscow." Hu Yi said blankly, "Aren't you?"

"Moscow?! Hahahaha!" The man seemed to have heard something extremely funny: "Are you kidding me? I'm very busy, so I don't have time to travel so far away."

"Far away?" Hu Yi felt cold, and asked hesitantly, "Excuse me, where are you? I'll go and bring him back."

"Abalensk."

"Ah? Where?" Hu Yi had never heard of this place name.

"Abalensk!" The man repeated word by word: "Do you know Chekhov?"

"You mean...the writer?"

"No! I mean a city! A city in the south of Moscow!" The man patiently explained: "After Chekhov, it's not far away, turn west near Serpukhov, and it's our town .”

"City? Town? Wait!" Hu Yi was stunned for a while, and rushed into the box to find a few place names written down on the paper: "Okay, I'll go right away! Where can I find you when I get to the town?"

"I'm not sure about that right now. I'll call when you get here." The man suddenly changed his drunkenness just now, and said with a slow smile: "By the way, you'd better get on the road early. If you come late, I can't guarantee you will return." I can find your friend."

"what why?"

"Why? Because I don't know what will happen at night. You can only know if you come and see for yourself."

This unclear sentence made Hu Yi's scalp tingle slightly, and doubts arose in his heart: "You... May I ask who are you?"

"You ask me? I'm a policeman." The man replied lazily, "Yes, maybe I can put your friend in the police station? Hahahaha!"

"That's fine..." Hu Yigang breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately thought of the two "policemen" who robbed Xiao Linzi, and he couldn't help but drip cold sweat down the back of his neck.The conversation of the man on the other side of the phone was quite suspicious. Maybe Xiao Linzi had just left the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den.

But if that's the case, it's clearly not wise or helpful to be more skeptical on the phone now.Hu Yi calmed down, and said lightly: "Okay, can I trouble you to let my friend speak?"

The phone was handed over to Xiao Linzi: "Hello? Brother Hu? How's it going? Can he take me back?"

"He doesn't agree, but don't be afraid, I will pick you up later." Hu Yi said a few words of comfort, and asked calmly, "Are you in the car?"

"Yes."

"How many other people are there besides you?"

"Only the one who was talking to you just now."

"What kind of person is he?"

"What kind?" Xiao Linzi paused for a moment: "It's just... a very ordinary Russian, about the same height as you, about 40 years old, seems to be drinking."

"Is he a policeman? Does he have a uniform? Does he drive a police car?"

"Police? No, no, it's not a police car." Xiao Linzi shuddered: "He... was wearing a tracksuit."

Hu Yi secretly screamed that it was not good, and was racking his brains to think about how to determine the identity of the other party, when he heard the sound of pressing the lighter and starting the car on the other end of the phone, the man who claimed to be a policeman drunkenly called a drink on the phone Hiccup: "Okay! Let's talk when we have something to say! It's getting late, I'll take your friend back now, and we'll have a good celebration tonight! Haha!"

"Celebrate? What do you mean..." Hu Yi wanted to ask again, but the other party had already hung up the phone.

"Damn it! Damn it..." He cursed a few words angrily, with his hips akimbo, he didn't know what to do for a while.

"Is there trouble? What are you going to do?" Yabalov has been standing outside the box and has not left. Just now, Hu Yi spoke Chinese and Russian on the phone, and he also listened to the general idea.

"It's quite troublesome." Hu Yi took a light breath, pointed to Xiao Linzi's box: "He... was taken away by bad guys far away, and the situation is not clear. I'm going to help him now."

"Bad guy? Is there any danger?" Yabalov wiped off the rain on his face, "I'll accompany you."
