"Here? The holess?"
Officer Ma and Ren Ziling decided to co to make an arrest after gathering enough policen.
Ren Ziling nodded, "All the holess around are making a living by collecting scraps. I know a guy running a salvaging station near here. They said a weird woman ca by recently. Do you see the black part inside? Right there."
Ma Houde gaped, "I didn’t expect Zhao Ru who loves cleanliness to hide in such area."
It was a very long and dirty alley with paper boxes, steel iron and household garbage strewn everywhere.
An ordinary young woman would not approach this area.
"Lin Feng, go to the other side, let’s surround her!" Ma Houde said.
Subeditor Ren stopped the two policen, "Wait. She cannot escape but I have to say sothing."
"...My god, do you want to get involved?" Officer Ma felt terrible.
But Ren Ziling glared at him, "What?! I’m taking care of myself, OK? I won’t do dangerous things from now on! Anyway, I want to ask, that how much is the fee for this tip-off? Don’t you dare deny my money!"
Ma Houde asked back, "Why do you always insist on asking for these? I’ve given you so much through the whole year."
"F*ck! I have to pay for the apartnt, car; and my son is studying in a university, he needs to pay tuition fees and expenses for his daily life." Ren Ziling added, "And he has a girlfriend now, of course he has to spend money on her. Furthermore, there is also the soaring price of commodities!"
"OK,OK, I’ll pay it soon." Ma Houde cald Ren Ziling down.
But he felt terrible inside.
That year, when Brother Luo died, she gathered many peers and had them sign a guarantee of supervision.
To hold all of Brother Luo’s wealth, to ensure that his son can inherit it after university.
It was a large amount of assets that could let her live well...
But she didn’t use any penny of it.
She had a strong personality, fighting to earn money by herself these years.
Officer Ma thought of applying for more claims. When he looked back to Ren Ziling, he found she was staying in the car.
Speaking of which, the recent traffic tickets... do not seem to have appeared yet?
Officer Ma shook his head and concentrated on today’s task. Waving his hand, he asked Lin Feng to go to the other side of the alley so that they could encircle the escaped criminal inside.
...
Zhao Ru was still thinking about how those handcuffs broke. She rembered a policewoman fainting and the door being unlocked... Therefore, she could easily leave the hospital.
But she still hadn’t received an answer until now. Anyway, she got her freedom.
She was staying in this tiny paper house.
Hugging her knees, she leaned against the wall and played around with the pendant, as if waiting for sothing.
Suddenly, Zhao Ru heard footsteps; so people were walking towards her.
They were getting close to her...
Zhao Ru held her breath, reaching for a knife behind her back.
She grasped the knife handle.
...
Officer Ma stopped his footsteps.
At that mont, he opened the paper box and shouted, "Don’t move, policeman, you’re a cri... sorry, mistaken identity..."
There was only an old man who was terrified; but right then, the person from next box rushed out.
She ran frantically towards the other side!
"You cannot escape!" Ma Houde chased after while taking out the walkie-talkie, "Lin Feng, the criminal is running towards you. Stop her!"
Lin Feng took a deep breathe, ’Co on!’
A figure rushed to him; Lin Feng opened his arms, tried to block half of the alley!
He pounced on her, and threw her on the floor.
"Don’t try to escape!" Lin Feng pressed her down, handcuffing her to one of his hands.
Ma Houde arrived there too.
"Officer Ma! I caught her!" Lin Feng got up and lifted up the person.
But Officer Ma said, "It’s not Zhao Ru!"
"What?"
Lin Feng just figured out that it was just a middle-aged and thin man, instead of Zhao Ru!
"Why did you run?" Lin Feng patted him on the back.
The old man said, "Officer... I saw all of you, of course I would run."
"Why would you run when you see us?" Officer Ma stared at the old man.
"Er... don’t you co to arrest ? I stole a motorcycle a few days ago..." he blurted, but soon he realized sothing and covered his mouth.
Both of them shook heads. Ma said, "We are here to arrest a woman, not you. But now, you have to co with us."
"Woman? Could it be..." the middle-aged man said, "That woman."
"Which woman?"
"I don’t know, she’s new here. And said she didn’t want this place so I could stay in here." The middle-aged man shrugged, "Her place was very clean, so I moved there, but soon you guys ca..."
"When did she say that?"
"About 3 or 4 o’clock this afternoon. I don’t rember."
Lin Feng glanced at Ma Houde, frowning, "Officer Ma, it’s around the ti you just received the ssage..."
Ma Houde heaved a sigh, nodding, "That woman is too crafty!"
...
...
An old face and a young face appeared in front of Zhao Ru together.
They were the holess grandpa and the grandson living by collecting scraps... They lived near her, in a simple ’house’ made with wood and iron sheet.
"Is sothing the matter?"
The grandpa smiled, "Girl, take so stuffed buns, we bought a little too much. Let’s take care of each other in the future."
The boy next to him took out a small bag from his old schoolbag. He wiped his dirty hand on clothes, then untied the bag and brought it to Zhao Ru.
With a shy smile.
Seeing the sincere grandpa and grandson, she loosened her hand that was holding the knife behind.
