Chapter 378: She Likes to Pick Yourself
When she arrived at Nanhua Street, Lao Xia directly stopped near the place where she was arrested for her "attempted kidnapping" according to the picture presented in the dream of the "vampire patient" before.
Xiang Kun got out of the car and "wandered" slowly on the side of the road.
Lao Xia also turned off the car, and then leaned next to the car and waited.
She knew that because of the difference in sensory ability and thinking ability, Xiang Kun's way of observing was different from ordinary people, and it was different from her, so it was meaningless for her to follow Xiang Kun.
However, she is also recalling the dreams of the "vampire patient" from her perspective, and at the same time comparing them with the real scenery on the street, looking for an angle that can cut into.
For Xiang Kun, if the "mutant parasite" is still nearby, then whether it is hidden somewhere, or parasitic in the bodies of humans and other animals, it is easy for him to find out.
But it is clear that the chances of the "mutant parasite" remaining nearby at this time are almost zero, after all, almost a year has passed.
Xiang Kun came here, on the one hand, to try his luck, and on the other hand, to observe on the spot to see if he could find some clues so that he could pursue further.
It's past twelve o'clock now, but there are still a lot of people in this neighborhood, there are two food stalls nearby, and some noodle shops and barbecue stalls are still open, and occasionally you can see drunken people passing by with their shoulders hooked up after eating.
Abducting people in such a lively place, the "vampire patient" really doesn't have the talent to be a "criminal".
In the "Vampire Patient" dream, the van was stopped by the police and several people were arrested, and Xiang Kun noticed that there was a flower shop diagonally across the street, which was still brightly lit at this time, and the store was full of flowers inside and outside, and there were many clerks busy going in and out.
It's normal for food stalls, barbecue stalls, and night snack shops to open past 12 o'clock, why are flower shops open so late?
However, Xiang Kun instantly understood the reason, he remembered that it was past twelve o'clock, and today was February 14th, which was Valentine's Day in the West, and it was also the most ruthless day for various flower shops to make money every year.
At such times, it is normal for florists to prepare various bouquets and make various arrangements all night.
After observing the location of the flower shop, Xiang Kun thought for a while, and called out to Lao Xia, who was leaning next to Camry in the distance, thinking about something with his chin in one hand, and beckoned her to come over.
A moment later, Xiang Kun walked into the flower shop with Lao Xia.
"Handsome guy, buy flowers for your girlfriend?" A middle-aged beautiful woman who looked like she should be the proprietress greeted behind the cash register, "These on the right have already been ordered by guests, these on the left are in stock, and there are more flowers, which will be sent over tomorrow morning, you can scan the QR code on the wall, pay attention to our official account, order directly on it, and we will send someone to send it over when the time is booked......"
Just as she was halfway through speaking, the proprietress saw the tall ponytail beauty who was following Xiang Kun and had just been blocked by his thick body, she couldn't help but be stunned, and praised with a smile: "Handsome guy, are you bringing your girlfriend to buy flowers? Or are you stuck here?"
Xiang Kun smiled "shyly" and touched his head: "My girlfriend has more ideas, and she likes to pick everything she buys." ”
Although Xiang Kun didn't discuss it with her specifically before coming over, Xia Libing knew very well the purpose of Xiang Kun's visit to this flower shop, and as soon as he heard this, he understood what he meant, so he also "seriously" put down what he was doing with one of them, stood up and greeted her female clerk to discuss the situation of these flowers, and said that he would also buy flowers for the parents of both parties, and look at other products such as "eternal flowers", so as to leave enough time for Xiang Kun to talk.
"Boss, you guys are really hard, you're still busy so late, I guess you'll have to stay up all night, right?" Because most of the space in the store is occupied by flower boxes and bouquets, and a little space is also for Lao Xia and the clerk who choose flowers, so Xiang Kun stood on the edge of the cash register, chatting with the proprietress seemingly casually.
"Valentine's Day, of course, I'm going to be a little busy, and the most profitable thing every year is today, you see, I even called my two nieces who are still in middle school to help. The proprietress pointed to the two little girls sitting on the edge of the gate and said with a smile.
Xiang Kun naturally just entered the store, and judged through various information that the proprietress was the object of conversation, and at this time, there were five little girls busy with things in the store, and there was also room for small talk.
"It's also very lively at night, what time do you usually open your store?"
"Usually it's around nine o'clock, sometimes it may be closed at eight o'clock, not necessarily, to see if there is anything to be busy, such as weddings, openings, etc., to prepare the products overnight. ”
"If you open late, there will be a lot of drunks passing by here, will someone make trouble, make trouble or something?"
"That's very rare, but there are a lot of people who have drunk and come over to buy flowers to send girls to confess, which has brought us a lot of additional sales. The proprietress laughed.
Xiang Kun nodded and agreed: "Also, in the past few years, the security of our Thorn Tong has been very good." ”
He talked to the proprietress mainly to find out if there were any strange and special things happening in the neighborhood, and whether there were any residents or businesses with special performances.
If the "mutant parasite" wants to leave this place, it will most likely have to pass through a host or an intermediate host, and it is likely to parasitize the nearby residents first.
Of course, the possibility of being able to ask for valid information is not very large, but it is just a temporary idea to give it a try.
Just as he was about to continue to change the topic and inquire from other directions, a girl who was making a flower box not far from the counter looked up and said, "Sister Ning, you forgot, someone was kidnapped on our street last year!"
The proprietress nodded again and again as if she remembered something: "Oh, yes, yes, yes, last year's incident, that thing is funny to say, no, it should be a very serious matter, it shouldn't be laughed...... But it's funny. ”
"Oh, what is it, kidnapping on the street?" asked Xiang Kun with a curious and surprised expression.
"That's right, just across the street, outside the Agricultural Bank, a couple of people drove a van to kidnap a man. But the funny thing is that three or four people were tied up for a long time, probably five or six minutes, and they didn't get anyone into the car. The man screamed so badly that the whole street could hear it. By the way, I also recorded a video, and I also called the police. The girl who spoke before took over and said, Obviously, working overtime so late, this little girl is also a little bored.
Xiang Kun naturally satisfied the little girl's desire to express herself, and immediately asked with a surprised expression: "Is it so arrogant? Isn't it all sweeping away the evil now, and anyone dares to do this?"
"It's not an underworld organization, but I heard it later, it seems to be a few neuropathies. The proprietress said with a smile and said to the little girl, "Pony, you show the handsome guy that video you took." ”
The little girl was naturally happy to have this opportunity to be openly lazy, so she immediately got up and took out her mobile phone, found the video she had taken before, and played it to Xiang Kun.
"It was about the same time, because the next day was the 'Goddess Day', and there were many customers who had to prepare the products overnight, so we still had a store. On another day, we probably wouldn't have seen it. The little girl said with great interest.
Xiang Kun knew that the "Goddess Day" in her mouth referred to Women's Day, and judging from the date, it coincided with the arrest time of the "vampire patient" found by Alice, and it seemed that the case was correct.
From the perspective of video shooting, it is obviously at the door of the flower shop, and the picture taken is the place diagonally opposite the door of an agricultural bank in the flower shop.
A van can be seen parked on the side of the road, while three young men are dragging a man who appears to have drunk a lot of alcohol towards the van.
It can also be vaguely seen that there is a person in the passenger seat of the van who did not get down, judging from the silhouette that it is a woman, it should be a "vampire patient".
The three young men were obviously doing this kind of thing for the first time, they were a little weak and a little flustered, and the drunk man struggled very hard, so he didn't subdue for a long time.
The drunk shouted in a dialect: "Tie ~gà ~ 喽!(kidnap 喽), tǎi~lang~la!! (kill), giu~lang~oh!(save people)!!, pa waist waist spirit (hit 110 ah) !!——"
Judging from that volume, it really alarmed the whole street, not to mention the people in this flower shop, I am afraid that the surrounding residents were shocked.
The drunk man was tossed for several minutes before he was barely stuffed into the van, and then the van had not gone far before it had just reached the opposite of the flower shop when he was stopped by a police car.
Thinking about it, the little girl told Xiang Kun that she had called the police before she took this video. Obviously, with such a big movement, there will never be one or two people who call the police, and it is estimated that someone around will call the police earlier. It is not surprising that the "vampire patients" and their kidnapping attempts failed and were arrested on the street.
But from a certain point of view, perhaps the incompetent "kidnapping" operation of the "vampire patient" saved her life.
