After Xu Shi was brought to the police station, he was sent directly to the detention room. The other party even cuffed his handcuffs to the railing on the wall.
The railing was about one meter high. At this height, Xu Shi couldn't sit down or stand straight, so he could only stand with his legs half-bent.
What's even worse is that the detention room is freezing cold. I don't know if it's because there's no heating in the first place, or if they turned off the heating in this room on purpose. It's very cold in the room. Although it is already the end of March, the temperature at night is still below zero. The sound of wind can still be heard from the ventilation window above the detention room.
Xu Shi was not wearing a coat when he came out of the bar, only a thin woolen sweater. If he was left to freeze like this all night, no matter how good his health was, he would probably become seriously ill.
These people deliberately wanted to torture Xu Shi.
However, Xu Shilai had been mentally prepared to be tortured before, and now it was up to Long Dao.
Before being taken away, he told Taxi to contact Long Dao. If Long Dao still wants to win over him, he won't stay here for long tonight.
Time passed slowly, and Xu Shiban leaned on the railing, trying to make himself stand as comfortably as possible.
Outside the door, people passed by from time to time, but no one stopped to take a look.
Xu Shi half-closed his eyes, his expression always calm, as if he was asleep.
Before I knew it, an hour had passed.
In the office, the fat policeman put his feet on the table and leaned comfortably in his chair, drinking tea and watching TV. Suddenly, a young policeman came over and asked in a low voice: "Brother Ali, won't that man get into trouble due to the cold? Why don't we turn on the heater for him?"
The fat policeman known as Brother Jiali raised his eyes and glared at him with disdain, and said: "It's only been a while, what could happen to him, at most it's just a cold, what are you afraid of! Let's lock him up for another two hours!"
When the young policeman heard this, he was still a little worried. After hesitating for a moment, he persuaded: "I heard that this person was specially invited by Long Dao from the entertainment city..."
"What's wrong with Long Dao?" The fat policeman raised his brows and said sternly: "You have to remember that we are the police. What do police do? Maintain social order! They call the police and we arrest people. We should be punished accordingly. No matter how powerful the dragon sword is, can he still rush to our police station and rob people?"
The young policeman was stunned by what he said and could only nod stupidly.
After nodding, he suddenly felt something was wrong, but he couldn't put his finger on what exactly was wrong.
"Okay, go and do your business. You don't have to worry about Wang Yuan's matter." After the fat policeman waved him away, he went back to watching TV.
At this time, Xu Shi's hands and feet were already a little stiff, and his lips were turning blue, but he still looked calm. It was as if he was not the one suffering the torture at this time.
After another half hour passed, the door to the detention room opened.
A female police officer came in. After taking a look at Xu Shi, she silently stepped forward and removed his handcuffs, and then said, "You can leave."
When Xu Shi came out, he didn't see the policemen who brought him over. When he walked out of the door, Taxi was waiting with his coat. As soon as he saw him, he immediately came up to him and hurriedly tried to give it to him. Putting on his coat, he asked: "Brother Wang, how are you? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Xu Shi shook his head: "No, just take me back to the hotel."
Taxi glanced at him and hesitated to speak.
"Just say whatever you want to say!" Xu Shi said lightly.
Taxi gritted her teeth, as if she had made some kind of determination: "When I first came out, I saw Sister Na following Brother Xia out on the second floor."
Xu Shi paused slightly while putting on his coat, then smiled slightly and said, "I understand. Let's go. Where is the car?"
Taxi was a smart man. When he saw Xu Shi, he didn't ask or say much. He closed his mouth wisely and led Xu Shi towards the car. The car was not turned off, and the air conditioner in the car was turned on very hot. As soon as Xu Shi entered, the warm air surrounded him. After a while, his frozen hands and feet began to regain consciousness, numbing and itching. It took a while before the feeling subsided. Retreat slowly.
Xu Shi leaned on the back seat, closing his eyes a little tiredly. Amidst the warmth, sleepiness swept over him, almost swallowing him up.
But he didn't dare to sleep.
Not long after, the car arrived at the door of the hotel.
Taxi glanced at Xu Shi in the back seat in the rearview mirror, thinking he was asleep and didn't dare to disturb him.
Xu Shi opened his eyes after a while and called Taxi: "Go back and help me find a house. It doesn't have to be big, just be quiet and clean."
Taxi was stunned for a moment before coming back to her senses and hurriedly responded.
Xu Shi turned around and opened the door to get off the car. Taxi also wanted to get off the car. As soon as he opened the door, he heard Xu Shi say: "No need to see me off. It's getting late. You can go back and rest. I'll be here at 4:30 tomorrow afternoon." Come pick me up."
Taxi was stunned for another moment before responding: "Okay, Brother Wang."
Xu Shi wrapped his coat around his body and got out of the car. The cold air came towards him, making him shiver. After taking a deep breath, he closed the car door and walked towards the hotel door a few steps away.
It wasn't until I entered the door that I heard the sound of a car leaving.
It was past twelve o'clock.
In the hotel lobby, the lights are dim. The night shift receptionist was taking a nap behind the service desk.
It was probably Xu Shi's footsteps that startled her, causing her to raise her head and look over at Xu Shi. As soon as his eyes touched, little girl Ayi's face became a little unnatural, and then she immediately withdrew her gaze, trying to pretend that she hadn't seen it, and lowered her head to continue sleeping.
Xu Shi didn't know what he was thinking about at this moment, or maybe he wasn't thinking about anything at all. The steps that were originally running towards the elevator turned around and headed towards the front desk.
"Hello, do you have any cold medicine?" Xu Shi raised his hand and tapped lightly on the countertop, and then asked.
The little girl lowered her head and hesitated for a long time before raising her head. Her eyes fell on his face unnaturally. She probably saw that his face was not normal at the moment. She suddenly frowned and blurted out: " You have a fever?"
Xu Shi raised his hand and touched his forehead. The tentacles were indeed a little hot, so he nodded and said, "Maybe a little."
The little girl bit her lip and said, "Why didn't your girlfriend follow you to take care of you? Hasn't she always lived with you?"
"She's not my girlfriend!" Xu Shi didn't know the purpose of what he said, but he just said it anyway. She saw a light shine in the little girl's eyes, but it dimmed again in an instant.
Then, I heard her say: "I don't have cold medicine here. You go back to your room first, and I'll buy it for you."
Xu Shi suddenly laughed, with a bit of self-deprecation: "No, it's cold outside, you can sleep in your own room." After saying that, he turned around and left.
Behind him, the little girl stared at his back until he entered the elevator, then looked back. Then she lowered her head and cursed angrily: "Scumbag!"
But after she finished scolding, she got up and went to the dressing room. She came out not long after, with an extra coat on her body. Then she hurried out of the hotel and plunged into the night.
Xu Shi returned to the room and entered the bathroom.
When the 40-degree hot water poured down on his body, it finally woke up his groggy head. Recalling what I had just done, I couldn't help but feel a lot of sarcasm in my heart: Yu Guang, when did you become so fragile? It's so ridiculous to want to find a little warmth from a little girl! But just a little fever will burn you out?
Xu Shi lowered his head and laughed deeply.
Only then did he realize how lonely this road was. He had thought that he could easily cope with this loneliness, after all, he had been here so many years before. But now he realizes that he still thought too simply.
When you leave your homeland, everyone around you may be your enemy.
There is no one to talk to, no one to trust, no one to even sleep peacefully.
This environment where he felt surrounded by danger all the time and dared not relax for a moment was different from the previous seven years.
After all, he still overestimated himself.
It only took him more than an hour to freeze, and he turned into a fool!
Ah--
Yu Guang, Yu Guang, you are so ridiculous!
Xu Shi laughed in the bathroom for a long time, until his voice became hoarse, and then he stopped. When he came out again, he was the same Xu Shi again.
Before I put on my clothes, I suddenly heard a sound at the door, and the back door opened.
Xu Shi subconsciously wanted to get the gun, but stopped when he heard footsteps.
Ayi came in.
The little girl rushed in with an anxious look on her face. When she raised her eyes, she saw Xu Shi with a bath towel around his waist and his upper body naked. She couldn't help but froze there, her face burning like fire and turning red rapidly.
"I...I...I'm here to deliver medicine to you!" After Ayi stammered, she threw the bag in his arms and ran away.
Xu Shi reached out to catch the bag, lowered his head and looked at it silently for a while, then turned around and put the bag on the table nearby.
He slept until noon.
When I woke up, there were several calls on my phone, including Long Dao's, Taxi's, and Laosan's.
Xu Shi took a look and put the phone back. After washing slowly, he called Long Dao back.
The phone rang for a while before it was picked up. As soon as Long Dao opened his mouth, he asked directly: "Are you sick?"
Xu Shi replied: "A little cold is already fine."
"I have already taken care of what happened yesterday at the police station. They will not look for you again." Long Dao said again.
Xu Shi hummed and then stopped talking.
There was silence on the phone. After a while, Long Dao spoke again: "I heard that you invited Xia Hapu and the others to dinner tonight?"
"Well, Brother Dao is coming?" Xu Shi didn't explain the purpose of his meal, he just asked lightly.
Long Dao was silent and said, "I still have some unfinished business in Tao County, so I can't make it back today."
"Okay. Then when you come back, I will treat Brother Dao to dinner alone." Xu Shi said.
"Okay. Then you can rest first and we'll see you later." Long Dao hung up the phone.
Xu Shi called Taxi back.
Tassie said the house had been found and asked him if he wanted to go and have a look.
Xu Shi raised his eyes and saw the bag on the table. There were several cold medicines in the bag, but he didn't touch it. After staring at it for two seconds, he replied: "Okay, where is the location? I will go directly there."
"I'm nearby, I'll pick you up," Tasi said.
After hanging up the phone, Xu Shi tidied up and went downstairs.
When he passed by the front desk, he glanced subconsciously and saw that the person on duty at the front desk had been replaced by someone else.
