Chapter 222 Hospitality
Chapter 222 Hospitality
Going to the police station to hide from pursuit is indeed a very creative idea.
Apart from being a little out of place, everything else was normal.
Lucy looked at the old policeman from behind with a loving look as if she was looking at a mentally retarded person, while the younger Ariza looked at his companion as if he had seen a ghost.
Gao Yi fell into deep thought.
Finally, Ariza couldn't help it, he whispered: "This... sir, he was just joking, hahahaha..."
The laughter was filled with embarrassment, but more of it was fear.
George, the old policeman, said again: "No, no, no, I'm not kidding."
George glared at Ariza fiercely, then he half turned his head and said seriously: "Please think about it, sir. If you say that those helicopters are looking for you, then it is obviously not the action of the French government. I don't know if you are involved in a gang vendetta or some other problem, but it is obvious that you need a safe place to hide temporarily. Am I right?"
Gao Yi nodded and said, "Yes, you are right."
"Then isn't going to the police station a good choice? I'm not trying to trick you into going to the police station. I have no intention of doing that, sir. I'm going to retire in seven months. I hope to receive a high pension, go on vacation with my girlfriend, and enjoy the rest of my life instead of receiving a high pension. So I will definitely not put you in danger."
After finishing his words in one breath, George took a deep breath, fearing that Gao Yi would interrupt him, and even more afraid that his companion would say something stupid again, so George spoke quickly and urgently.
"Then I suggest you go to a police station not where we work, but a remote municipal police station in the southern suburbs of Paris. There are only nine policemen in total. It's already 5:30 in the afternoon, and it's time to get off work. Only one policeman will be on duty, and I know all the policemen inside. I will tell him that you are a friend who needs to hide temporarily, or to be more straightforward, you are here to report the crime, so what's wrong with staying in the police station all night?
And the most crucial point is that there is a detention room in the police station. You can put us in the detention room. The entire police station is yours. You can leave when you want and sleep when you want. Is there any safer and more suitable temporary hiding place than the police station?"
After George finished speaking, Lucy fell into deep thought, and Gao Yi nodded and said, "What you said makes sense."
Ariza was stunned for a long time, and then he suddenly said: "Yes, that's right, you can put us in the detention room, and then you don't have to kill us, right?"
George said to Ariza: "Shut up, this gentleman is very friendly, he won't kill us!"
Sure enough, ginger is still spicy.
Through a few words of conversation between Gao Yi and the others on the walkie-talkie, coupled with Gao Yi's concern and worry about the helicopter, as well as the direction in which the police car they were taking hostage at gunpoint was fleeing, George accurately judged Gao Yi and the others' situation, and then, seemingly risky but very considerately, provided them with a good place to hide.
In fact, Gao Yi really didn't want to kill them. He simply thought that riding in a police car was faster than driving himself. Even if they arrived at the destination, he would let these two good policemen go.
"Okay, let's go to the police station."
Gao Yi finally agreed to go to the police station.
George immediately said, "We are now in the Essonne province of Greater Paris. We are both police officers from the police station in Dourdan, Essonne. But the police station we are going to is the Senat Forest Police Station under Dourdan. It is the most remote police station with the least traffic. Dourdan is surrounded by forests and is a suburban resort for Parisians. It also has many historical sites, so there are many Parisians and foreign tourists on vacation. Sir, whether you want to leave through the forest path or disguise yourself as a foreign tourist, it is very convenient!"
"Yes, Not Bad."
It must be admitted that George is a very experienced man. All the conditions he described are really suitable for Gao Yi and his friends who are eager to hide.
George turned to Ariza and said in a very calm tone, "Do you know how to go while I introduce this gentleman?"
"Uh, I know..."
Ariza turned the corner and the police car drove off the provincial highway and onto a small road.
If you turn onto the side road, you won't be able to go to Paris.
Li Jie drove to catch up with the police car.
"It takes about 25 minutes to drive there. The scenery along the way is beautiful. About four kilometers ahead, there will be a forest. The forest here is relatively scattered, but there are many ancient castles. The most famous castle is the Chateau de Courance, where Louis XIII lived. Although it is not as famous as castles like the Palace of Versailles and the Palace of Fontainebleau, it is also a famous castle in French historical sites."
Gao Yi turned his head and looked at it, then he nodded and said, "Yeah, not bad."
Ariza was so nervous that he just focused on driving. After driving onto a road with few vehicles, he turned off the siren and the car became much quieter.
George kept explaining to Gao Yi the scenery along the way, such as the name of a castle that suddenly appeared, when it was built, who built it, and so on. In short, he never stopped talking all the way.
I didn’t expect that the best tour guide I met in France was an old policeman.
Finally, the police arrived.
There were indeed a lot of trees, but it couldn't be called a forest. Also, the police station was not in some remote wilderness as Gao Yi had imagined, but was on the edge of a small town, guarding the highway.
The police station has a yard with four police cars parked in it. Then we looked at the main building of the police station. It is not very big. It is built with red bricks which are very common in the French countryside. The walls are covered with ivy. It looks quiet, beautiful and historical.
"I've worked here for about twenty years, it's really nostalgic..."
George doesn't look fat, his stubble makes him look slightly whiter, he's in good shape, the perfume on his body isn't pungent, and he looks quite charming when he's smiling and giving his commentary.
Gao Yi couldn't help but ask, "Are you going to retire soon?" "Yes, my 62nd birthday is in seven months, and I can retire then. The retirement age for French police is 62, and it is said that they are going to extend it to 64. We will definitely go on strike to protest the extension of the retirement age. This is an exploitation of us."
The car stopped in the yard of the police station, but George did not get out. After he finished speaking, he said to Gao Yi, "Can I get out of the car and say hello to the brothers inside? Tell him not to be nervous. Let's just treat it as a trip, okay?"
"Well, okay."
Gao Yi opened the car door and said with a smile: "Go in with him."
Gao Yi did not follow him in. He asked Lucy to go in and take a look.
The main thing is that Lucy knows French, so she can understand whatever George wants to say.
Lucy and George got out of the car together. George took a long breath, then politely gestured for Lucy to come in, but he couldn't let Lucy go in front, so he turned sideways, leaned forward half a body, and opened the door of the police station.
Originally, George should have opened the door and invited Lucy in before entering. This was the normal practice for inviting ladies in, but George couldn't leave any room for misunderstanding, so he walked in first, holding the door with one hand and holding his hat with the other.
Or he just raised his hands to let Lucy know that he would never take the opportunity to draw his gun.
Speaking of which, Gao Yi did not take away the pistols from the two policemen.
There was a policeman sitting in the lobby of the police station. He looked about the same age as George. When he saw George appear and open the door for a lady, the policeman said in astonishment: "George, what are you doing...Oh my God!"
George said nothing and did nothing. Lucy had just walked in without drawing her gun or even saying a word when the policeman who remained in the lobby of the police station stood up from behind a reception desk and raised his hands.
Lucy was a little dumbfounded. She looked at the policeman who stood up with his hands raised, then looked at George who was holding his hat with one hand and still holding the door with the other. After thinking for a moment, she finally couldn't help but said, "I didn't say anything."
"You don't have to say it, I understand!"
The policeman behind the stage nodded to Lucy, then he looked at George and said, "Can you tell me what happened?"
George said calmly, "I'm sorry, but I need a safe place. Is there anyone in the detention room?"
"No one. The last time they detained a drunk was two months ago. It's clean and spacious. The key is hanging there."
The policeman behind the stage did not move his arms, but pointed his finger at a bunch of keys hanging on the wall behind him.
At this time, Gao Yi followed in.
Ariza is behind Gao Yi, but behind Ariza are Feng Biao and Lin Xianghua.
Looking at the guns in Feng Biao and Lin Xianghua's hands, the policeman standing behind the reception desk involuntarily straightened his arms and raised his hands higher.
Lucy looked at Gao Yi and said bewilderedly, "I didn't say anything, but it seems like I don't need to say anything."
Gao Yi looked at George who was close at hand.
George said seriously, "We have never experienced this before, but we know what to do. Sir, the key to the detention room is on the wall. Can I take out the gun, intercom, and phone? Then we can enter the detention room."
Gao Yi broadened his horizons and gained more knowledge today.
After thinking for a while, Gao Yi suddenly smiled and said, "No, there is no need for that."
The three policemen's faces changed drastically. Ariza seemed a little frightened, and George looked desperate.
Gao Yi quickly said, "There's no need to be so nervous. I already know that you are all smart people, so why bother staying in the detention room? Relax, chat, have a cup of coffee, and we'll leave when the time comes."
Why should we break such a beautiful and relaxing atmosphere? There is no need to make it so tense.
Gao Yi did not play by the rules, which made George a little confused.
Gao Yi put away his gun and said with a smile: "Put your hands down, just take out your gun, and relax a little, we won't stay long."
Gao Yi tried his best to ease the atmosphere, but seeing that George was still nervous, he could only say, "Of course, if you really want to stay in the detention room, then go in."
George finally believed Gao Yi's words, and he immediately said, "Thank you! I think it's better to go to the detention room, so that we can all have a good rest."
The policeman behind the reception desk immediately said, "There is a lounge in the back with a coffee machine and drinks. There are also beds for our lunch break. You can lie down for a while. Do you want to eat something? Uh, there are frozen pizzas. If you don't like frozen food, you can call someone to send it over..."
This rest stop is amazing, it's really perfect.
Gao Yi was really tired and hungry, so he said happily: "Thank you, we all need these, thank you for your warm hospitality, it's okay, relax a little, it's really okay."
