Seeing the exhaustion on his wife's face, Li Chu said distressedly: "Should I ask you for a few days off?"
"No, I slept for a while last night. Qiaoyun's child is really making trouble." As he spoke, Ding Qiunan dozed off.
"Thank you for your hard work, wife." Li Chu said apologetically, while raising his hand to rub her hair.
"Oh, it's disgusting, it's outside." Ding Qiunan hurriedly reached out and patted off her husband's paw.
"If you really can't hold on anymore, just go to the consulting room and sleep for a while. I have to go out for a while to have something to do. You can eat by yourself at noon."
"Okay, you go and do your work." Ding Qiunan waved his hand like a fly.
After sending Li Chu to the entrance of the hall, Ding Qiunan stood there in a daze as her husband walked out of the hospital door.
He has something on his mind, and as his wife, who is sharing the same bed with him, how could he not notice it.
The two have been together for four years, and she can understand every little movement, look, and expression of Li Chu.
When she came out of the pharmacy just now, she had noticed the worry in the corner of her husband's eyes, but she didn't ask. Li Chu had never concealed things that she should know.
After leaving the hospital gate, Li Chu got on the bus to the Food Bureau.
Wang Ziwen put aside a lot of things in the morning and waited for his brother-in-law in the office.
When he saw Li Chu coming in without knocking, he closed the door.
"Xiao Chu, what happened?"
The purpose of coming to his brother-in-law's place was to discuss it with him. Li Chu told him everything that happened last night, like pouring beans into a bamboo tube.
"Brother-in-law, I thought about it for a long time last night. In my impression, I shouldn't have offended anyone. Do you think I could be the enemy agent responsible for what happened to my parents back then?"
When Li Chu's parents died, he had just entered college and was studying the basics of traditional Chinese medicine with his master. It took more than ten days for him to get the news.
After listening to Li Chu's words, Wang Ziwen thought carefully for a while and slowly shook his head: "It's unlikely. It's been more than ten years since that incident. I've been looking for it for a long time. How could I wait until now.
And not many people know about your relationship with your parents, they are basically old people from the past."
"Brother-in-law, who do you think this could be?"
Wang Ziwen spread his hands and said, "It's really hard to say. Your social circle has always been relatively narrow. Logically speaking, this kind of thing shouldn't happen."
Li Chu scratched his head in frustration. This feeling was so bad.
"Xiao Chu, is it possible that he was your previous patient?"
"This is impossible. I dare not say anything else. I still try my best to treat people, and in all these years of working, I have never been embarrassed by a patient." Li Chu said firmly.
"Have you ever felt before yesterday that someone was following you?"
"No, just last night when I was walking home with my baby in my arms, not long after I left the hospital, I felt like someone was following me. I didn't pay attention at first, but then I walked on a small path, and I didn't expect to be followed.
The feeling is still there.
After I got home, I opened the door and Xiao Hei rushed out and shouted in the direction I came back from. As you know, brother-in-law, Xiao Hei never calls unless he is a stranger. When I saw Xiao Hei’s reaction, I let him
It went to bite, but unexpectedly someone was actually bitten.
Because I had a child, I couldn't go over to see him at that time, so when I got back to the house, I called Brother Six over."
"Did you feel anything when you came here just now?" Wang Ziwen asked.
Li Chu still shook his head: "When I came out of the hospital just now, I made a special observation and found nothing.
Brother-in-law, no matter what the reason is, you should pay attention during this period. It is best not to let my sister know about this matter."
"I know that I won't let her worry blindly. Do you want to tell Uncle Wang?"
Li Chu thought for a while and then said: "Forget it, let's not talk about it for now, let's talk about it if it can't be solved. If it can be solved smoothly in these two days, there will be no need for Uncle Wang to worry about it. He has a lot to do in a day.
"
"Your safety is the most important thing. Don't show off. Until the matter is resolved, let Xiao Liu live at your place. He doesn't have to go to work during this period. I will just tell their director back."
After saying that, Wang Ziwen opened the drawer, took out something from it and threw it away.
After catching it, Li Chu discovered that what his brother-in-law threw to him was a gun, also a May 4th style gun, and a holster.
"This is for me. You can use it for self-defense these two days."
The Grain Bureau has its own grain protection team to collect and deliver grain every year, all equipped with guns. It is normal for Wang Ziwen, as a leader, to also be equipped with guns.
Li Chu stood up and put the gun on his brother-in-law's desk: "I don't want this. I have it myself. Yours has been registered. It would be too troublesome to use it."
Wang Ziwen looked at his brother-in-law in surprise: "Where did you come from, and what kind of gun did you get?"
Li Chu pretended to take out a gun from behind and handed it over.
After Wang Ziwen took it, he saw that it was the same as his gun. The only difference was that there was no serial number on the gun or the magazine.
"Where did you come from?"
Li Chu said with a smile: "My master made it for me before. There was no file or number. Even if there were any problems, I couldn't check it."
Asking his deceased master to take the blame again, Li Chu kept apologizing to his master from the bottom of his heart.
"Okay, since you have it, I'll take it with me during this period.
But Xiao Chu, although there is no way to check your gun, it is best not to use it if you can. As long as the gunshot goes off, it will be a big deal."
As Wu Xiaoliu said last night, although there is no ban on guns in China, any case involving guns is definitely a big one.
"I know brother-in-law. Brother Six also reminded me last night that I will not use a gun unless absolutely necessary."
"You can make more careful calculations to see if there are any suspicious targets. It's okay to be on guard like this all the time. What will happen to Qiunan and the child?"
Li Chu took a piece of paper and a pen from his brother-in-law's table, and listed all the people he could think of who had contact with him.
There are not many names on this list, just over a hundred.
Wang Ziwen was responsible for reporting the name, and Li Chu told the general history of the relationship with this person. The two of them used this stupidest method to slowly investigate.
I had lunch in the canteen of the Food Bureau. I didn't have much appetite. I ate a few bites in a hurry and then went back to the office and started to continue my endless work.
"Xiao Chu" Wang Ziwen took the list and looked it up and down again before asking: "Why don't I see the names of my father and mother's comrades?"
"Brother-in-law, if I am one of those people, there is no need to follow me. They all know where my home is, so there is no need to go to all the trouble of finding someone to follow me..."
At this point, Li Chu stopped. He and Wang Ziwen looked at each other, and it seemed that the two of them wanted to go together.
