Abyss of ignorance

Just like what the boss said, sure enough, as the off-duty time approached, more people came to buy lottery tickets.The recent economic downturn, the business of the lottery shop is better than before.

The boss looked at Lin Xiaodong and Yue Jianfeng with some embarrassment, hesitant to speak.

Lin Xiaodong knew that he was afraid that they would affect the business, but he didn't dare to say so, so he winked at Yue Jianfeng, and the two walked out of the lottery shop.

Yue Jianfeng had just left the shop, and after holding back his words, he finally said to Lin Xiaodong: "Team Lin, the question the boss just asked is true. I think there is something wrong with the direction of our investigation. He Zhongwen really went there after hearing the rumors." Yes, but this kind of biography is just casually said by everyone, and no one guarantees that someone will definitely go, even if someone goes, there is no guarantee that that person is He Zhongwen... This is too random."

Lin Xiaodong squinted at the setting sun that was about to set, and threw the record into Yue Jianfeng's hand: "It's off work, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

"Huh? Team Lin?" Yue Jianfeng shouted behind him, but Lin Xiaodong rode off on his motorcycle without looking back.

"Really? Brother Wen, that honest man, was sent to the hospital?"

"You didn't offend anyone, did you?"

"How could he provoke others with his cowardly appearance. I think it's probably robbery..."

"Yo, he really believed in the out-of-the-box thing. Brother Wen has a good temper, but sometimes his brain really doesn't work. What a fool, he believes everything others say."

……

Yue Jianfeng listened, knowing that the boss could not wait to spread the news of He Zhongwen's accident.He glanced back at the lottery shop. At this moment, several people had already gathered in the shop, some were sitting on the wooden sofa, some were standing, discussing enthusiastically.

He took another look at the direction Lin Xiaodong was leaving. There was a row of trains with red brake lights on in the evening rush hour, and Lin Xiaodong had already disappeared.

Yue Jianfeng shook his head helplessly. This helplessness was for the lottery shop owner as well as for Lin Xiaodong.

……

In the house in the new district, Lin Xiaodong entered the door before sunset as usual, and there was still the last ray of light coming in from the small window.He went straight to the bedroom, grabbed the marker pen, faced the whiteboard in silence for a while, then picked up the pen and started writing on it...

After a whole night passed, Yue Jianfeng took his breakfast and went to work. After a while, Lin Xiaodong's desk was still vacant.

"Hey? Do you know where Team Lin is going?" He finally couldn't help shouting in the office.

Everyone looked at each other, and finally Xiao Xu said: "I came early today, and I happened to see Team Lin going out on his own motorcycle."

"one person?"

"Well, alone."

Lin Xiaodong didn't come back until nearly noon.

"Hey? Team Lin, where have you been? I haven't replied to your message?" Yue Jianfeng asked immediately when he saw him come back.

Lin Xiaodong put the helmet on the desk casually, took out a stack of small papers from his pocket, and shook them in front of Yue Jianfeng.

Yue Jianfeng took it over and saw that it was full of lottery tickets, and said speechlessly, "Captain Lin, don't tell me that I went to buy lottery tickets when I missed playing all morning?"

Lin Xiaodong's expression was quite smug: "You guessed it right, I just went to buy a lottery ticket."

Seeing Yue Jianfeng's confused face, Lin Xiaodong smiled, took the lottery tickets back from Yue Jianfeng's hand, put them on the table one by one, and introduced them as he put them: "I bought this one at Yunhe Road. This one was bought on Linjiang Road, this one on Xinyuan Road, and this one on Huangshidun..."

"Let's go, Team Lin, you've traveled all over Linzhou city this early in the morning? Is this a store-by-store lottery ticket?" Yue Jianfeng shook his head, "I really don't understand what you're doing. gone."

"Not only did I buy a lottery ticket, but I also chatted with the owners of each store." Lin Xiaodong threw the last lottery ticket on the table and grinned, "Not only the owner of each lottery store knows that there is a hidden treasure in the East Petroleum Market." Rumors of drug money, and they were all told by a man wearing a black hat."

Yue Jianfeng's eyes widened after hearing this: "Ah, is this someone deliberately spreading this news?"

"What do you think?" Lin Xiaodong winked at Yue Jianfeng secretly.

"No, Team Lin, how did you suspect that you went to the lottery shop..." Yue Jianfeng still didn't understand.

"It seems that the other party is playing sit-and-wait." Lin Xiaodong unpacked a pack of melon seeds from his desk, poured a pinch into his hand, and said, nibbling melon seeds. Ever since he quit smoking, he fell in love with nibbling. Melon seeds, there are always a few packets on the table.

"What do you mean? I mean Team Lin, why do I feel like I can't keep up with you recently?" Yue Jianfeng snatched a melon seed from Lin Xiaodong.

"Don't you think that the ulterior motive in this matter is not drinking?" Lin Xiaodong continued.

"You're sitting on the sidelines and you're a drunkard. What kind of medicine are you selling in this gourd, Team Lin?" Yue Jianfeng followed his words and joked.

"Tomorrow morning, come back to the wasteland of the East Petroleum Market with me." After Lin Xiaodong finished speaking, he went back to his work station.

……

The morning sun shines on the waste land of the Dongyou Oil Market, and the weeds that are as high as a person are framed by a circle of gold in the morning sun, swaying slightly in the wind.

A few elderly people were carrying buckets and agricultural tools and wandering outside the cordon. They seemed to be "Happy Farm" players, hesitating whether to break the rules and sneak in.

Lin Xiaodong squatted here early in the morning with a piece of grass in his mouth, waiting for a long time, but Yue Jianfeng arrived late, almost at the same time as these old people.

One of these people who rushed to plant the land was the old man who reported the crime.

He recognized Yue Jianfeng at a glance: "Are you a policeman? You seemed to be here that day."

Yue Jianfeng nodded, pointed to Lin Xiaodong who walked not far away and said, "That is our colleague, come back today and investigate again."

"Is the young man all right?" the old man asked with concern.

"Don't worry, it's all right." Yue Jianfeng said with a smile.

Lin Xiaodong also arrived at this moment, still holding He Zhongwen's photo in his hand, and asked, "Have you seen this man?"

The old man who reported the case smiled: "Isn't this the one who was injured, even though his face was covered with blood at that time, I can recognize it."

However, among the few people, another old man came up to take a closer look: "Huh? I've seen this person before."

Lin Xiaodong hurriedly asked, "Where and when?"

"One evening, I came to deworm tomatoes. I saw this man wandering around here. I thought he was also looking for an open space to grow vegetables, so I didn't ask any more questions. I felt a little muttered in my heart. Thinking that us retired old men are idle and fine, how can young people like this?"
