Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 487 Confirmed
Li Yancheng could tell that the woman should be a nearby resident. From the mechanic's attitude, he could tell that he knew the woman.

The reason why he followed her was that he wanted to see whether this woman kept asking about what happened yesterday afternoon just to satisfy her own curiosity or someone had asked her to find out.

Sure enough, this woman might live in an alley not far from the college. After following her to the entrance of the alley, Li Yancheng did not follow her in.

He didn't know if this alley would be like the one where his home was, where someone would come to inquire about strangers, so he stood at the intersection, lit a cigarette for himself, and observed the woman's movements after she went in with the corner of his eye.

She walked into the alley and not far before turning into a yard.

Until he finished his cigarette and didn't see the woman come out again, Li Yancheng threw away the cigarette butt in his hand and walked into the alley.

As soon as he entered the alley, an old man pushing a bicycle came out from the first yard.

When the old man saw Li Yancheng, he didn't ask anything, but just got on his bike and rode out of the alley.

His reaction made Li Yancheng feel relieved and he continued walking into the alley.

When he reached the gate of the yard that the woman had just entered, he turned his head to look inside.

This is a private courtyard, and you can see the scene in the courtyard clearly from outside.

It just so happened that the woman he was following was washing something at the sink in the middle of the yard, and she turned around and talked to another woman who was squatting on the ground washing clothes.

Seeing this scene, Li Yancheng did not continue to walk inside, but turned around and walked out of the alley.

There should be nothing wrong with this woman. She might just be curious, and she happened to know the shoe repairman, so she came up to ask what happened yesterday.

After walking out of the alley, Li Yancheng walked to the sidewalk on the college side this time, just keeping an eye on the other side of the road with the corner of his eyes.

Maybe he came too early. He stayed here until almost five o'clock in the afternoon. During this time, he changed his clothes, but he didn't find any suspicious people.

At this time, he had turned to the west of the college, at an intersection two hundred meters away from the college. Standing here, he was just about to light a cigarette for himself when he realized that the cigarette box in his pocket was empty. There happened to be a state-owned store across the street, so he did not take cigarettes from his warehouse, but walked over there.

At this time, a man came from another intersection. He looked to be in his forties or fifties. He walked into the store before him and asked for a pack of Pegasus without a filter as soon as he entered.

Hearing the cigarette the man asked for, Li Yancheng, who came in later, felt a slight movement in his heart. He walked to the counter and glanced calmly at the man who was taking out money.

He was less than 1.7 meters tall, with short hair that looked greasy and it seemed like he hadn't washed in who knows how long. There was an indescribable smell on his body, like... taking a dump?
The salesperson also smelled the odor on the man and frowned, not trying to hide the look of disgust on his face. When he saw that the man took out a handful of yellow one-cent bills from his pocket, the look of disgust on his face became even more intense.

The man didn't care. He took out a stack of one-cent bills from his pocket and counted them carefully one by one.

"Comrade, what do you want?" The salesperson was too lazy to wait for him to count slowly, so he turned to look at Li Yancheng and asked.

"Give me a pack of blue peonies with a mouth."

"50 cents"

"Here." Li Yancheng handed over the fifty cents he had prepared for textiles.

After taking the money, the salesperson turned around, picked up a pack of Blue Peony from the shelf and put it on the counter, then looked at the other man again.

The man had counted the money in his hand, but maybe it was not enough, so he started rummaging in his other pockets. He finally managed to scrape out a penny from somewhere. Looking at the penny, a happy smile appeared on the man's face, and like a child who had eaten candy, he quickly pushed all the money in his hand towards the salesperson.

"Comrade, I have enough money, two cents."

The man's voice startled Li Yancheng, and a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.

When the man walked in and said the first sentence just now, he was following behind, and the man only said two words, which were the name of the cigarette, so he didn't pay much attention to it. He only thought about the four Pegasus cigarette butts he picked up at the small intersection yesterday.

Now when I hear this man's voice again, I suddenly feel a strange feeling in my heart. The voice and age seem a bit mismatched.

The man looked like he was in his forties or fifties, but his voice gave Li Yancheng the feeling that he was only in his twenties or thirties.

Thinking of this, Li Yancheng picked up his pack of cigarettes on the counter with one hand, opened it, and pretended to turn his head and glance at the man casually. He was not looking at the face, but the neck.

People who work outdoors all year round do look much older than their actual age. It is not easy to judge a person's age by his or her face, just like it is not easy to judge a person's actual age after several years of applying various skin care products and cosmetics on their face.

At this time, look at the skin on the neck. If the actual age is not much different from the facial appearance, within ten years, then you may not be able to see anything. But if the difference is relatively large, like the man in front of you.

Li Yancheng only took a glance and concluded that the man's actual age was much younger than what his face showed.

Of course, this doesn't mean that the man used any makeup techniques, but that he might have grown up too quickly.

After a quick glance, Li Yancheng walked out of the store. When he came outside, he lit a cigarette for himself. At this time, the man also came out. Like him, he lit a cigarette as soon as he came out and then crossed the road.

After crossing the road, he did not walk forward, but crossed to the other side, which was the sidewalk opposite the college.

Li Yancheng did not follow the man. After crossing the road, he walked eastward on the sidewalk on this side, but his walking speed was slightly slower than the man.

Ok?
As he was about to reach the college gate, he suddenly felt that there seemed to be something wrong with the man he had been observing with the corner of his eye. He quickly turned his head to look to the right, and his eyes fell on the man who was buying cigarettes with him in the store.

This sight made his eyes focus involuntarily.

He finally understood why he felt something was wrong just now. It turned out that the man walking across the street had become a cripple since some time ago.

In fact, he can't be said to be lame. It looks more like he accidentally sprained his ankle. When he walked, his right foot was heaving.

Less than 1.7 meters tall, short hair, long face, lame, in his 40s or 50s, smoking Pegasus unfiltered cigarettes. All these conditions appeared in his mind one by one, matching what he saw yesterday and what the shoe repairman described.

It's him?

After just a glance, Li Yancheng withdrew his gaze.

He didn't dare to look any further. If the other person was someone who had received special training, he might be sensitive to the gazes looking at him.

He was sure that he had never seen this person before. Eh? That's not right!

Li Yancheng suddenly realized that he had met the man in the store just now and they had even looked at each other. Based on the man's look at that time, he could conclude that this person didn't know him either.

Who was he following?
At this time, he had already walked to the gate of the college, and as expected, the man across the road had already entered the small alley, but he did not stand at the corner where he stood yesterday, but walked a few steps inside. It just so happened that people on the east-west road could not see him unless they walked to the entrance of the alley.

Li Yancheng was on the other side of the street so he could see the man clearly.

Now he was even more certain that this man was following someone here, but whether it was him remained to be seen.

Now that it has been basically confirmed, Li Yancheng did not stop and continued to walk eastward. He planned to return to the car parked at the intersection in front, change back into the clothes he had just worn, and observe the man again to see who this guy was staring at here.

In this way, until five forty, the man kept wandering around in the alley, only glancing at the gate of the college opposite from time to time. Li Yancheng was more certain of his intentions when he saw his movements.

After thinking for a while, Li Yancheng crossed the road and entered the post office, and used a public phone to call the duty room inside the college gate.

When he sent his wife to school this morning, he greeted the college leaders and told them what happened yesterday afternoon.

Originally, he had agreed with Luo Min that she should not come out after school and he would drive in to pick her up, but now he had changed his mind and was ready to let his wife come out.

Because he wanted to confirm whether this man was targeting his wife.

Communicate with the college duty room and ask them to let Luo Min come out by herself when they see her, and then walk directly to the east intersection after coming out.

It's not that he wanted to use his wife as a target and put her in danger, but he had no choice but to get to the bottom of things.

Soon, it was six o'clock, and the bell of the opposite college rang on time. Li Yancheng, who was standing a little west of the alley entrance, immediately perked up, observing the alley entrance and the college gate. Because of the closed teaching, after class, apart from the faculty and staff of the college, not many students came out. Occasionally, there were a few, but they were all in a group, either quickly crossing the road to buy things at the store that was about to close, or going to the restaurant to have a bite to eat.

There is a cafeteria in the college, but the taste of the big pot meals is just so-so, with very little meat and the soup is bland. Those who are trained here are all paid, and they are much richer than those students from other universities who receive a government subsidy of ten yuan or so. Almost every day there are groups of three or five students coming to the restaurant to eat. This state-owned restaurant is almost becoming the second cafeteria of the Political College.

When that familiar figure appeared in his peripheral vision, Li Yancheng's attention was completely focused on the entrance of the alley.

As for that man, when the school bell rang, he walked to the entrance of the alley and stood at the same corner where he had stood yesterday, with a cigarette in his mouth and his eyes fixed on the other side of the street.

His appearance made Li Yancheng somewhat puzzled, because the way this man stared at people was too amateurish, and he didn't look like he had received any training at all.

When Luo Min walked out of the college gate, the man first looked at her carefully, then reached into his trouser pocket and took out a...

photo?

Li Yancheng looked at what the man was holding and raised his eyebrows.

When the man reached into his trouser pocket, his heart tightened, thinking that the guy was going to pull out a gun.

Seeing Luo Min walking away to the east, the man followed him. Now he was sure that he was coming for his wife.

Seeing this, Li Yancheng followed. His right hand was always inside his unbuttoned jacket, holding a gun to prevent any possible changes.

After walking a few steps to the east, the man quickly crossed the road and followed Luo Min not far behind. Seeing him like this, in order to prevent any accidents from happening to his wife, Li Yancheng did not hesitate and followed him.

After passing by, he walked straight up and patted the man on the shoulder.

When the man felt someone tapping his shoulder and turned around, he saw a red certificate in front of him.

"Public Security Bureau, come with me."

"From the Public Security Bureau?" The man's face changed and he opened his mouth to say something, but Li Yancheng didn't give him a chance to speak and continued.

"You have a photo of the female police officer in front of you in your pants pocket. Why did you follow her? Instead of making excuses, you should think carefully about how to explain this issue when you get to the police station later."

After saying this, Li Yancheng raised his voice and called out, "Xiao Min..."

In fact, Luo Min already knew what was happening behind her. When her husband caught up with the man and patted him on the shoulder, she had already stopped and turned to look over here. She was just worried that she would make things worse, so she didn't come over, but her right hand was already in her bag.

After hearing the person on duty in the college convey her husband's words, she moved the gun on her waist into her bag, opened the safety, loaded the gun, and was ready to fire at any time.

Now when she heard her husband calling her, she immediately prepared to come over.

"No need to come over." Li Yancheng waved his hand and threw the car keys in his hand over.

"The car is at the intersection ahead. It's the jeep. Go over and drive it over here."

"Okay." After catching the car keys thrown to her by her husband, Luo Min immediately ran to the intersection ahead.

She had learned to drive a car a long time ago, but she was just too lazy to drive normally. It was just right for her to drive today because her man wanted to control that person.

After the photo in his pocket was revealed, the man's face turned pale and his lips began to tremble. He trembled for a long time but didn't utter a word. His legs seemed a little weak. Li Yancheng, who was holding his arm, could feel that if he let go now, the man would definitely fall to the ground.

If you don’t want to say anything, then don’t say anything. He doesn’t want to ask anything right now.

It was the time when people were getting off work and there were many pedestrians on the road. He did not pull out his gun or handcuffs because he did not want to alarm others and attract onlookers.

Luo Min acted quickly and drove over in less than two minutes. After the car stopped, Li Yancheng pulled the man with weak legs to the back door of the car, opened the door and stuffed him in, and then he also sat in the back seat.

As soon as he got in the car, he took out handcuffs and handcuffed the man behind his back, then took out the photo he had just seen from his trouser pocket. It was a one-inch black-and-white bare-headed photo.

When he saw the image in the photo clearly, he was stunned. Not only him, but Luo Min, who was looking over from the driver's seat, was also stunned.

There is no doubt that this photo is of her, but not her current self. Li Yancheng couldn't tell exactly when it was taken, because Luo Min in the photo looked to be no more than ten years old and was wearing a white shirt.

She looks almost the same as now, except that she looked a little immature and had baby fat on her face in the photo, but now she has a more mature charm on her face.

"This...if I remember correctly, this is a photo of me when I was thirteen. How did you get it? Who gave it to you?"

Luo Min looked at the man in surprise and asked.

The man looked at her, then at Li Yancheng beside him, pursed his lips and said nothing. Not only did he not say anything, he also closed his eyes, giving people the feeling that he was a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water.

"Okay, honey, don't rush to ask him, drive and go directly to one place."

"it is good"

When the man heard Li Yancheng calling Luo Min "wife", he opened his eyes and looked a little surprised.

"Why, is it weird that she's my wife?"

Only then did the man take a closer look at Li Yancheng.

"You...did we buy cigarettes together at the store just now?"

"Yes, I have a good memory."

"Did you notice me then?"

"No, I noticed you after you suddenly became lame while walking normally."

A trace of annoyance flashed across the man's eyes. He didn't expect that he was targeted because of that. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong.

"Then why did you go over there to buy cigarettes and park your car here?"

"It's very simple, because my wife and I found someone watching us yesterday afternoon, but we didn't find out who it was, so I came here early this afternoon to see who it was.

Look at this person. Is he so bold that he dares to target people from the Social Affairs Bureau and even comes to the gate of the Political Science College? Don’t you know that all the students there are police officers?”

The man stopped talking again, but he didn't close his eyes yet. His face looked thoughtful, as if he was thinking about something.

Of course Li Yancheng would not let him have free time to think about random things, so he changed the subject and asked.

"What's your name?"

Okay, I still won’t answer.

"Why are you following my wife?"

……

"Who sent you?"

As soon as this question was asked, the man's eyes moved, but there was still no expression on his face.

However, Li Yancheng has basically confirmed that this man was indeed sent by someone, which means that there is someone behind him.
