Chapter 841 80 Brother Soldier, a drop of water does not need to be repaid with your body 34
"Let's find a place to sit. The restaurant we had dinner at yesterday is in this alley.
Miaomiao has good eyesight, so she can help me keep an eye on this store for a while to see if the short and fat guy from yesterday has come."
Miaomiao nodded and followed Lu Jingxing to sit down on the stone steps.
The shouts of the morning market were heard one after another. The alley where the restaurant was last night was now crowded with vendors setting up stalls, extending all the way to the entire street behind. There were many people and stalls, and the atmosphere was very rich in the smell of fireworks.
The two people ate chestnuts slowly and looked at the distance, as if they were sitting and tasting the food, which did not seem abrupt.
Miaomiao was just about to lower her head to peel another chestnut when she suddenly saw a man walking out of a restaurant not far away.
"Brother Lu, do you think he was the owner of the restaurant that day?"
People wear thin clothes in summer, and Miaomiao nudged Lu Jingxing with her elbow in a hurry, causing Lu Jingxing to subconsciously roll his Adam's apple and look not far away in the direction Miaomiao was looking.
The man named Lao Zhang was coming out of the alley carrying a vegetable basket with a few green vegetables and a piece of pork belly in the basket. It looked like he was just getting ready to go out and buy some.
It's just that Lu Jingxing is very experienced. When he saw the other person walking, his shoulders were slightly bent inward and his eyes were quickly scanning the surroundings. That kind of vigilance didn't seem like the vigilance one would have when buying vegetables.
He knew that there had been no major events in the county recently, so in order to lure the snake out of its hole, he had already quietly told Xiao Qian about it when he met him yesterday, causing Xiao Qian to talk nonsense in the guesthouse.
While looking for others to understand the situation, he also mentioned with envy that the leaders of his military region might come to the county town for an internal meeting in a few days, saying that they might need to select a site here to see whether to build a military factory.
These enemy spies will not expose themselves unless they receive any extraordinary information. Some of them can even hide for decades. If there is no information worth telling or even useful, they are just ordinary bad guys.
Originally, Lu Jingxing thought that after spreading the bait, he would have to wait until tomorrow to reel in the nets. However, he didn't expect that what he had just said yesterday afternoon would already have reached Lao Zhang?
“Well, I see, when we work, we often have to follow someone for a while before we can determine whether the other person really has a problem.
At least we can’t wrongly accuse a good person.”
Miaomiao nodded and continued to peel chestnuts. The icing sugar on her fingertips sparkled in the sunlight.
Lu Jingxing felt that he had made a mistake. He brought the little girl with him, and although he had a mission, his mind was always unconsciously on her. Even the frosting on her fingertips made him inexplicably hungry.
Even though I just drank some water, I'm starting to feel very thirsty now.
"Brother Lu, look at the piece of pork belly in his vegetable basket. There's no stamp on the skin."
Miaomiao suddenly came closer. Meat is not easy to buy now, but the other party put such a big piece of meat in the basket without a stamp, so he was obedient.
Lu Jingxing looked over and it was not far away, so he could see these details.
Meat from state-owned butcher shops must be stamped. Meat sold privately without a stamp is either from sick pigs or obtained through backdoor channels.
He glanced calmly at Lao Zhang, who had already started bargaining with the vegetable vendor. His voice was deliberately loud, as if he was hiding something.
Lu Jingxing came to the vicinity of the hotel mainly due to his experience, not because he had any evidence of Lao Zhang's crime. It was just that in a county town, where there are top leaders, there must be bottom leaders.
Why would a lecherous and incompetent textile factory director often eat in a pub?
The shouts of the morning market came one after another. From time to time, a peddler carrying a load passed by them, and the crisp sound of the copper bells rang out, just covering up the whispers of the two people.
"Miaomiao is really great, she observes very carefully."
Lu Jingxing praised the little girl, and seeing that she looked a little proud, he wanted to touch her fair face, but finally restrained himself and stuffed a freshly peeled chestnut into Miaomiao's hand.
"It's your reward."
The chestnut was stuffed into Miaomiao's palm, and Lu Jingxing felt that the little girl's hand was as soft as a ball of cotton.
Just a touch and I felt a dense itch in my heart.
He was now like a man who was drinking poison to quench his thirst, and could only rely on this occasional bit of warmth to restrain his passion for the little girl.
It's like the old house is on fire, and it feels like the whole world has become the shape of love.
After buying the vegetables, Lao Zhang turned around and started walking back. When he passed the alley, he suddenly glanced towards the stone steps. Miaomiao subconsciously shrank behind Lu Jingxing, and the chestnut shells in her hands crackled.
Lu Jingxing gently put his arm around Miaomiao's shoulders, speaking in a natural tone.
"It's windy, how about we go get another bowl of wontons?"
When Old Zhang turned around, he saw a man and a woman chatting in an immoral way with their heads down. There was a paper bag between their faces, and he couldn't see their faces clearly for a moment.
"Don't be afraid, he's gone. He just looked back subconsciously."
Lu Jingxing finally patted Miaomiao's shoulder gently. Looking at Miaomiao's tense face as she stared at his back, he suddenly felt very relieved.
See, they are made for each other, aren't they?
They all have a sense of justice.
Lu Jingxing, who was already obsessed with love, could imagine that the two of them were a perfect match, even if Miaomiao walked with her left foot first.
Because he walked with his right foot first, left, left, left, right, aren't they a perfect match?
So, don't try to reason with anyone who's obsessed with love...
More and more people came to the morning market, and the aroma of chopped green onions wafted in the steam from the tofu pudding stall.
Lu Jingxing glanced at the watch on his wrist. The clock had just passed eight o'clock, and there was still about half an hour before the investigator was expected to arrive.
"Are you hungry? Do you want some tofu pudding?"
Miaomiao looked at the chestnuts in her hand and touched her stomach.
"Brother Lu, I'm powerless. I haven't digested the brown sugar buns I had this morning, and now I've eaten these chestnuts. Now, no matter how delicious you are, it won't taste good."
Miaomiao now understands clearly that since she followed Lu Jingxing to help, it is natural that she has to provide meals, and there is nothing wrong with that.
But there is no need for others to care about snacks. It is a favor and you still have to return it.
Lu Jingxing laughed, and seeing the little girl's painful expression as if she had missed out on hundreds of dollars, he peeled another chestnut for her.
He settled more firmly on the stone steps, his elbow almost touching hers.
"When this is over, I'll treat you to more delicious food, and I guarantee you'll have everything you want.
We also sell pan-fried buns over in our military district. They have thin skin and lots of juice. You should like the taste very much."
Miaomiao's eyes lit up, but when she thought about the other party saying that the food was sold near the military area, she lost hope.
She couldn't just run to the military area for a meal of steamed buns, since the other party was not someone special.
Even if you are addicted to pigs, it is not a good idea to do it this way.
Unfortunately, Miaomiao didn't know that a few days later she really ate the Shengjianbao and even became a special person...
