end of ten days.

My name is Li Shangwu.

I lied.

On May 22, [-], my colleagues and I received an assignment to guard a fraudster.

The fraudster was named Zhang Huanan.

He is very cunning and has several previous convictions.

What's even more difficult is that Zhang Huanan has extremely high anti-reconnaissance awareness and has escaped the police several times. In this fraud case, Zhang Huanan was also quickly listed as one of the important suspects. My colleagues and I stayed on guard day and night. .

"Captain Li, would you like one?"

Xiao Liu took out my favorite Cordyceps cigarette from his pocket. He is not a rich man, but he always likes to carry cigarettes worth more than 50 yuan.

"Xiao Liu, how much do you earn every month?"

Instead of picking up the cigarette, I took out the Red General from my pocket, eight yuan a pack, cheap and strong.

"Two thousand seven." Xiao Liu said, "Captain Li, don't you know?"

"You smoke Cordyceps sinensis for two thousand and seven a month?" I took a stick of General, and Xiao Liu hurriedly handed over the lighter.

"Captain Li, what are you talking about..." Xiao Liu hurriedly said with a smile, "How can I be willing to smoke Cordyceps sinensis? Isn't this prepared for you..."

I shook my head helplessly, and said to him: "We are criminal police, whoever can handle the case will be awesome, you don't have to learn the tricks in the workplace."

"Yes, yes, yes... Captain Li, what you said is true." Xiao Liu put the Cordyceps sinensis into his arms, and took out a pack of Changbai Mountain for six yuan. "Aren't I learning to handle cases from you?"

To be honest, Xiao Liu is very smart and has a good understanding.It is said that he was always among the best in the police academy, but I don’t know how his parents educated him. He learned a greasy officialdom at a young age, and it gave us seniors a headache when he joined the police force.

"Captain Li, do you think we can squat down to that Zhang Huanan?"

"This..." I thought for a while, "You care so much? The boss asked us to squat here, and we just need to obey the order."

We parked the car across the road from Zhang Huanan's house and stared intently at the only entrance and exit.

This kind of squatting is usually a team of two people, which is convenient for one of them to take a break to change shifts, but we don't know how long we will be squatting here. This unknown torment will invisibly increase the addiction to smoking.

"I knew I should have brought a pair of underpants..." Xiao Liu said.

"What are you doing? Are you changing your pants here?"

"Haha!" Xiao Liu smiled indifferently, "Are you kidding, Captain Li, another one?"

We smoked cigarettes one by one in this closed space. Because we dared not open the windows, the inside of the car was soon foggy.

Xiao Liu turns on the air conditioner for fresh air every once in a while, otherwise, in this environment, the chance of lung cancer is close to [-]%.

A whole day passed without both of us closing our eyes.

I feel like I can handle it because I often stay up late, but Xiao Liu is already drowsy.

"You can rest for a while." I said, "I'll just keep an eye on it by myself."

"Captain Li...is that okay...you haven't rested yet, how can I sleep first..." Although he was trying to be brave, his eyelids were already fighting.

"It's okay, go to sleep, I'll call you at night."

"That, that line... I'll just squint for half an hour..."

In less than 20 seconds, Xiao Liu started snoring, and it seemed that the child was exhausted.

After confirming that he was sound asleep, I slowly took out the phone from my pocket and looked at the unread text messages.

Three of the four text messages were sent by Xuanxuan.

"Dad, are you coming home for dinner tonight?"

"Dad, grandma said that you have been on a mission for the past two days, you should pay attention to safety!"

"Dad, there will be a parent-teacher meeting next Friday afternoon, can you come back then?"

I frowned slightly, but still sent a message back to Xuanxuan.

"I'll be home in two days, eat well."

After sending, I opened the fourth unread text message.

That strange number only sent three words: "Still squatting?"

I glanced at Xiao Liu who was sleeping beside me again, then moved my body to the other side, and quickly replied: "Don't talk nonsense, hide it."

After finishing all this, I picked up the phone and slowly put down the seat, preparing to squint for a while.

The newly bought car in the team is really a bit high-end. The seat is actually electric, and it will be lowered slowly.

As for guarding Zhang Huanan...

Don't be ridiculous, with me around, it's impossible for him to appear.

After an unknown amount of time, I was suddenly awakened by a violent shaking.

I hurriedly opened my eyes and found that Xiao Liu was looking at me nervously: "Captain Li!! Why are you falling asleep?!"

"Huh?" I just woke up and was a little dazed. It took me a long time to understand what happened, "Oh...you woke up?"

"It's broken! Captain Li, we are both asleep, what if Zhang Huanan shows up?"

"It's okay, he can't run." I rubbed my eyes and returned the seat to its original position.

"Can't run?"

"Oh...I mean I just fell asleep, it shouldn't be such a coincidence..."

"Hey..." Xiao Liu still looked worried, he patted his cheek vigorously, and said, "I just said I shouldn't sleep, this is terrible, I made a mistake the first time I performed a mission. Wrong."

"It's okay, kid." I patted him on the shoulder, "I'll take care of the accident."

Strange to say, Xiao Liu seemed to have been beaten up from this moment, and he didn't close his eyes for two days in a row.

I fell asleep several times in the middle, but every time I woke up, I could see Xiao Liu staring straight at the opposite building.

"Do you want to die suddenly, kid?" I asked worriedly, "I'm awake now, you can sleep for a while."

"No." Xiao Liu's dark circles under his eyes were very heavy, and he looked haggard. "Captain Li, I won't rest this time. I have to wait until Zhang Huanan shows up."

Just then, the phone in my pocket rang again.

Even the Nokia 6300 is running out of battery these days.

I turned on my phone and saw that kid Zhang Huanan had texted me again.

I turned my body calmly, wanting to see what the other party said, but Xiao Liu asked abruptly behind me: "Is there an order in the team?"

"Oh, no." I smiled and hid aside with the phone in my hand.

"Not in the team? Who sent it?" He stared blankly at the phone in my hand.

I know that most people can't ask such impolite words, Xiao Liu is now in a trance due to lack of sleep for a long time.

Seeing his appearance, I immediately had a plan.

I reached into my pocket, moved the cigarettes from the pack into my pocket, and then took out the empty pack and waved it in front of his eyes.

"Xiao Liu, go buy a pack of cigarettes."

"Buy cigarettes? There's no canteen around here." He said in a daze.

"But I don't have a cigarette." I put the cigarette case and mobile phone in my pocket and said to him, "If you don't have any nearby, go to a place farther away. If you stay up late for a long time, you can't have no cigarettes. And there is no cigarette in the car. The mineral water and bread are almost out, so you can buy some if it is convenient for you."

He thought for a while, then nodded, and said, "Alright Captain Li, I'll go back as soon as I go."
