Chapter 20: The Loss of My Love
"Mr. Hao, are you home today? I have already driven the car to your door. ”
"Oh, I'll be out in a moment. ”
Hao Yun got dressed, pushed open the door and saw Baoli standing obediently by the car door. Hao Yun touched the car with satisfaction and wrote his name on the signature document.
"It's awesome. ”
"Only someone as good as you can drive such a great car. ”
"Hahaha, you're really good at talking. ”
Hao Yun pulled the car door and walked up, he lowered the window, smiled at Baoli and said, "Get in the car, I'll take you back to the store." ”
"What a gentleman you are. ”
Baoli sat in the co-pilot and secretly glanced at Hao Yun's side face. She hadn't carefully observed Hao Yun's appearance before, but at this time she realized that this man from the East had a unique charm.
Damn, Polly, what are you thinking, you're the one with a boyfriend.
You have to remember that you appreciate and appreciate, but don't have feelings for this man!
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Ah...... How do you know?" Bao Li looked at Hao Yun with some surprise.
"Heh, if you hadn't had a boyfriend, I guess you would have given me your phone number a long time ago. ”
Baoli covered her mouth and chuckled: "Haha, Mr. Hao, you are too funny." ”
As soon as she mentioned her boyfriend, the corners of Baoli's mouth began to rise unconsciously, she held her right hand with her left hand, and said happily: "My boyfriend is an actor, although he is not famous, but he works very hard. He also went to see James yesterday, and he said that James was a very interesting gentleman. ”
Didn't James go out filming?
Hao Yun glanced at Baoli suspiciously and said, "Are you sure your boyfriend went to see James?"
"yes. ”
"Where did you meet?"
"Hollywood. ”
"But James should have gone to Hawaii to film these days, and it will take a few months to go, are you sure it's not your boyfriend who is lying?"
Baoli looked at Hao Yun with some incredulity, and the other party drove the car with a focused face, without looking at her.
"Do you know James?" Polly sat up straight.
Hao Yun stopped at the traffic light, pulled up the handbrake, looked at Baoli seriously and said, "Of course." ”
Baoli remembered that Hao Yun didn't hesitate when she took out the money, she shouldn't have deceived a little person like her, she stroked her lips and thought for a moment and said, "I know my boyfriend, he is not the kind of person who cheats. Maybe...... He's been deceived?"
Hao Yun crooked the corners of his mouth and shook his head helplessly.
After all, this is someone else's private matter, and what qualifications does he have as an outsider to intervene.
Baoli got out of the car with a heavy heart, turned around and waved to Hao Yun and said, "Mr. Hao, thank you for sending me back." ”
"It should. After speaking, Hao Yun showed a smile and drove his new car on the spacious road.
After returning home, a middle-aged couple was looking at Hao Yun's car on the side of the road with envy, Hao Yun saw him and stepped out of the car, and asked casually, "Do you need any help?"
"Ah, hello, you're the new resident at No. 57, right? I see you've been busy, and I don't see you say hello to your neighbors every time. I thought you were a quiet person, so I never visited. The wife stood up and politely explained to Hao Yun.
"You're the Simpsons?"
"Oh, you remember us. The Simpson couple looked at each other and smiled, causing Hao Yun to bow his head a little embarrassed.
In the past few days, he has been busy making money, and he didn't even return the gift after eating the neighbor's apple pie.
Hao Yun invited the Simpson couple into the house and hurriedly served tea and water to the two.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so rude. I've lived here for so long, and I didn't say anything about visiting Gao Lin. ”
"Don't be so polite, we often don't have anyone at home, and you probably won't be able to meet us when you come over. Mr. Simpson took Hao Yun's tea and took a sip.
Hao Yun touched the back of his head, his face was full of guilt, he took someone else's apple pie, but he never gave anyone a gift in return, which is too undeserved.
Mrs. Simpson looked at Hao Yun's embarrassed appearance and giggled and said, "Young man, why are you so nervous, everyone is in the neighborhood." Don't worry too much, we'll have to rely on you to take care of it in the future!"
"Mrs. Simpson......
"Well, don't call me Mrs. Simpson, it sounds like my students are calling me. Just call me Mary. ”
Mr. Simpson also smiled and said, "My name is Gilbert, and my friends call me Jill." ”
Hao Yun grinned and said to the husband and wife, "Jill and Mary, it's a pleasure to meet you. Wait a minute, I'll give you something. ”
After speaking, Hao Yun took out a jar of medicinal wine from his room and handed it to Simpson, and the husband and wife quickly reached out to take it when they saw it.
"Wow, what is this? Do you make your own wine?"
Hao Yun nodded and said with a smile: "I am a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, this is the medicinal wine I brew at home when I am idle." Drinking a glass a day has the effect of strengthening the body.
"I'm a new resident, but I didn't take the initiative to visit the two of you, which is my fault. ”
Mary patted Hao Yun on the shoulder complainingly and said, "You young man, why do you keep apologizing? We really like this gift, thank you." ”
After a short exchange, Hao Yun learned that Mary was an English teacher in a middle school, and her husband was a carpenter. The two have lived on this street for ten years, and they both have a child. It's just that the child is working in the field, so there is no chance of a referral.
"Well, there are still some cute people here......"
Hao Yun returned to the bedroom and gently closed the door.
......
During the lunch break, Baoli lay on her desk, always thinking about Hao Yun's reminder to her.
She hesitated for a moment, then took out her phone and made a call to Herman.
"Honey, what are you doing?"
There was a heavy breathing on the other end of the phone, and Herman spoke into the microphone and said in an indifferent tone, "I'm working." ”
"Work, you've got a new show?"
"That's right. "I was rehearsing in the theater and was a little tired. ”
"Why didn't you tell me about it?"
"I told you last night, but you fell asleep and don't remember. Okay, I'm going to be busy, what's the matter, let's talk about it when I get home. ”
"Huh?"
The phone hung up, and no matter how Polly called back, the other party still didn't respond. Paulie's face turned pale, and she touched her chest, her mind full of Herman's heavy breathing, which looked like ......
No, I can't doubt him that much.
Baoli put down her phone, her mind in a mess.
Back at home, Baoli specially prepared a table of good dishes and lit two red candles on the table. She wore nothing but an apron. She sat at the dinner table, fantasizing about Herman's amazement when she returned home.
Pauly's phone rang, and it was Herman calling. Paulie quickly picked it up, but it wasn't Herman's familiar voice on the other end of the phone.
"Hello, I'm Jesse Marquare from Seaside Police, do you know Herman Thackeray?"
Paulie's heart fluttered and said, "I know, I'm his girlfriend." What's wrong with Herman. ”
"Herman has had a misfortune, please come to the police station. ”
"Unfortunate?
"He was killed. ”
Polly tossed her phone aside, her eyes blank.
......
Hao Yun took off his mask and completed the autopsy on Herman.
Seeing that there was no one around, Hao Yun summoned Tracy.
"What do you command, Lord All-Knowing. Triss asked respectfully, holding the scythe in her hand.
"Can you find this guy's soul?"
Tracey glanced at Herman, who had died tragically, and took out her notebook to quickly turn the pages, and then she took out a quill pen to write and draw in the air.
"It can't be helped. Triss shook her head and said, "This man's soul has also been drained. Lord All-Knowing, this murderer, is a wizard. ”
Footsteps sounded behind Hao Yun, Hao Yun turned his head, and it was Jesse who came.
Jesse handed Hao Yun a cigarette, Hao Yun waved his hand and said, "It's too stinky here, go out and talk." ”
Hao Yun stood in the stairwell of the morgue, took a puff of cigarette and said, "The deceased died of suffocation, and the time of death was about 12 noon to 1 pm today. The deceased had been assaulted before he was killed. ”
"What other clues?" Jesse's face was shrouded in smoke, and he couldn't see his expression.
Hao Yun picked up a photo and handed it to Jesse: "There is a brand on the back of the deceased's head, which looks like a symbol of a sheep's horn, which was imprinted by the deceased after his death. ”
"What is this? I've never seen it before......" Jesse quietly handed the photo back to Hao Yun.
"You don't know?" Hao Yun said with a smile, "Didn't you do an autopsy on Hogg?"
"What does this have to do with Hogg?"
Hao Yun raised his right hand, narrowed his eyes and said, "There is a symbol of a sheep's horn in the palm of Hogg's hand, which is exactly the same as the symbol on the back of the deceased's head. Don't you see?"
Jesse shook his head and said, "I really don't know. Or maybe the medical examiner ignored this when he did the autopsy. ”
"Eighty percent of this murder is related to cult sacrifices. Hao Yun snuffed out the cigarette in his hand, "I think Hogg and Ramos are from an evil organization. The pattern of the sheep's horn printed on the back of the neck of the deceased is part of their ritual. If my reasoning was correct, they would definitely do it again. ”
Jesse looked at Hao Yun with bright eyes and said, "It's a pity that you don't go to be a detective?"
"Huh?" Hao Yun raised his head and smiled awkwardly, "I'll just say it casually, don't take it seriously." ”
There was a series of footsteps in the stairwell, and Hao Yun and Jesse turned their heads at the same time. I saw a pale woman standing in the stairwell, her eyes blank.
"Hello, I'm Pauli. I'm here to claim Herman's body. Paulie said like a walking corpse.
