Chapter 22: The Rainstorm (1)
From the outside, it looks like a very ordinary restaurant, but in Li Jia's eyes, it is full of unusual suspicions. He is a veteran policeman for more than ten years, and there have been two disappearances in Fengshan District recently, and Li Jia is the person in charge of both cases.
After a period of investigative retrospective, the restaurant caught his attention. This is a restaurant, but it is open in such a remote place, Li Jia looked around, there were basically no pedestrians on the road, and most of the other buildings on the roadside looked dilapidated, and it had been unmanned for a long time. It's clearly a bad street. However, this restaurant is the only one, and its decoration is not very new, but it is very well preserved.
The two windows in front of the door are closed with dark curtains, and the door is opaque, so you can't see the inside from the outside.
But the two missing people have both come here, and the remote and uninhabited place is also the best place to commit crimes. Li Jia glanced at the sign hanging on the door, pushed open the door and walked in.
As soon as he entered, the environment inside made Li Jia frown. Even though it was broad daylight, the sunlight was blocked by the curtains and the lights inside were dim. The hall was originally very spacious, but it was occupied by a few large discarded tables, which made those who walked in feel that the space was narrow. At the end of the two roads were two small doors, one hanging from the curtain and the other leading to the back kitchen of the restaurant.
It's a very dark environment, but it's very suitable for those who are psychologically dark, Li Jia thought in his heart, and the fat middle-aged man in a chef's uniform greeted him, and said with a smile on his face: "Welcome, what do the guests want to eat?"
The professional smile is also a very fake smile, Li Jia made an evaluation in his heart, and replied: "Bring me a copy of your signature dish." ”
"Okay, please come with me. The fat middle-aged man led the way for Li Jia, brought it to the door and lifted the curtain, the space inside was not large, more than a dozen tables were neatly placed in the room, and after he sat down, the fat middle-aged man turned around and left.
I touched the tabletop, it was very clean, it should be cleaned often, as if there would be regular customers here. Li Jia looked around, every table felt very good, and the room was also very clean, except for the tables and chairs, there were only monotonous walls.
It's really a strange storefront everywhere, Li Jia naturally put his hand on the corner of the table, but his fingertips have a slightly sticky touch, he looked down, his fingers were stained with a little red, and he sniffed in front of his nose, Li Jia's face suddenly changed.
It smelled of blood, and judging from the degree of coagulation and dryness of the blood, it was not too long, it should not be more than four hours. However, it is impossible to tell whether this is human blood or not, and in terms of quantity, even if it is just the amount of blood shed from a small wound, it is nothing. Li Jia regained his composure, but turned his head but was startled, the chubby middle-aged man was already standing at the door at some point.
He smiled at Li Jia, put a rather large dinner plate on the table, and lifted the lid of the plate, revealing a meat steak inside. It's still Western food, the aroma of the meat is strong, and the knives and forks are complete, but Li Jia has never tried Western food, so he doesn't know how to use this thing, but he is also casual and cuts off a piece with a knife and puts it in his mouth.
Well, it tastes good, it's authentic beef, yes. Li Jia chewed a few times, but suddenly another person entered the door, looked at him and greeted the fat middle-aged man out, the two should be acquaintances, chatted a few words outside The fat middle-aged man came back, and said apologetically: "Guest, I'm really sorry, because there is a very urgent matter to deal with temporarily, I need to go out, the small shop has to close, this meal lunch is what I invited you, please use it up as soon as possible." ”
Encountering this incident, Li Jia obviously won't stay here to eat the rest of the rest, got up and said goodbye and left.
He wouldn't know he was lucky enough to escape.
......
Wei Jiayue was in a very happy mood today, because just now she got the admission letter from the Medical University, and after contacting Ye Lin, he asked Wei Jiayue to go to the old place where the two were dating, saying that he wanted to celebrate her.
When they arrived at the place, Ye Lin was really well prepared, and after the two of them celebrated for a while, they hugged each other, Ye Lin also took out an admission notice from the medical university from his arms, Wei Jiayue snorted and said: "Even if you didn't break your promise, I thought I was going to go to an ordinary university with you before." ”
"How come, I said that I will definitely be admitted, let alone the Medical University, even if you want to go to Kyoto University, I can accompany you. Ye Lin replied with a smile.
Wei Jiayue sighed lightly and said, "You are really bragging, I haven't seen you take classes seriously a few times when you were in school, and I don't know what your uncle and aunt think, I don't care about you." ”
How can it be careless, the affairs of the office are much more important than going to school, Ye Lin held her hand, but said: "Because they all believe in my ability, so they are relieved to let me live by myself." ”
Wei Jiayue grabbed Ye Lin's hand, arched her nose, her little face wrinkled cutely, and said, "Then you have been busy and haven't told me anything, you always don't see anyone, and you don't accompany me well." Ye Lin naturally apologized apologetically, but he didn't want to explain anything specific to Wei Jiayue, so it was also a helpless move, maybe there would be a suitable time to explain all this to Wei Jiayue in the future.
Speaking of K City Medical University, the insect that caused the big action of the branch now, the disguised human identity seems to be a student of the Medical University, this thought flashed from Ye Lin's mind, Although with his identity and authority, he can understand the reason for the big move of the branch, but Ye Lin has not been in the mood recently, so it is naturally impossible to take the initiative to ask anything.
In addition, the branch feels that it is still speculation for the time being, and even if it has been confirmed, it is not good to disclose it on a large scale, which will cause panic among the insiders of the firm, after all, the ability to be infected should not be underestimated.
With such a mistake, Ye Lin didn't think much about it.
On the other side, Chu Xu was roaming around the city on a motorcycle, although it was wandering around, but it was not aimless, he had already applied for a long-term leave from the school through the way of the office, with the resources of the office, Chu Xu didn't have to worry about graduation at all, not to mention whether he graduated from college or not was not a big deal.
Originally, Chu Xu did not have such a privilege, but because of his outstanding progress, he had already reached the fifth rank in a short period of time, although he was not very strong, but it was enough to become an official member of the Maple Leaf Group. Now that he already has a formal combat force, the branch will also hope that Chu Xu can be on standby at any time, so it approved Chu Xu's request and handled everything for him.
In a community, the detection instrument on Chu Xu's body suddenly reacted, which was a signal of his life.
Following the guidance of the machine, he came to a door, it was time to go to work, and few of the residents in the building should still be at home, Chu Xu rang the doorbell and did not get any response from inside.
Nothing unexpected, Chu Xu used the equipment on his body to open the door, and walked in, there was only one woman in the room, very beautiful, lying on the sofa, her eyes were looking at the door, the TV was on, and she was watching TV just now.
It seemed that she was sick and weak, and the woman saw Chu Xu, a stranger, breaking in, and was still lying there, only moving slightly, Chu Xu was stunned when he saw her, and then confirmed that the signal pointed to this woman.
He uncloaked the spear, and as the tip of the spear stabbed at him, the woman's eyes widened, as if trying to dodge, but the movement slowed down, and she just rolled off the sofa, avoiding the vital point, and was still pointed on the shoulder by the tip of the spear.
At this time, Chu Xu suddenly stopped, he withdrew the spear, looked at it carefully, and confirmed that he was not mistaken, it was stained with bright red blood, and the blood of the insects should be black. Chu Xu was very puzzled, he didn't understand why he detected the life signal of the blind on the woman, but she was bleeding the same blood as a human being.
Looking at the woman's embarrassed appearance, her body was injured and bleeding continuously, and her eyes were full of panic when she looked at Chu Xu, but she didn't resist and run away at all, maybe her body was too weak, and she didn't look like a bug at all.
Maybe the machine detected a problem, Chu Xu thought to himself, completely eliminated the intent to attack, and instead took out the amnestic, erased the woman's memory for a few minutes, and used special medicine to make the wound on her shoulder heal, and then he turned around and left.
But Chu Xu didn't know that as soon as the door closed, the woman opened her eyes, looked at the anxious and angry man beside her, but said with a smile: "Okay Xiaoxi, don't be angry, I'm not fine." ”
Chen Xi was not there before, because Su Xiaoxiao asked him to go out to buy a snack that he wanted to eat, and then he came back and saw Chu Xu hurting Su Xiaoxiao, he originally wanted to do it, but was stopped by Su Xiaoxiao. I don't know if she is so weak, how can she use her ability to stop Chen Xi, pick her up and put her back on the sofa, Chen Xi couldn't help but say, "Why don't you let me make a move on him." In case he..."
Before he finished speaking, Su Xiaoxiao reached out to cover his mouth and said with a smile: "Okay, if you really fight with that person, how can we live peacefully anymore, and besides, didn't I teach you not to hurt humans." ”
Then she said, "I'm to blame for this, forgetting that when I'm weak, I'll be detected by the machine." ”
Of course, Chen Xi would not be extinguished because of these few words, and still said angrily, "If you don't hurt human beings, you can't let human beings hurt us." ”
"Okay, let's not talk about this, but you just did, how did you avoid him?" asked Su Xiaoxiao.
Chen Xi was a little puzzled, just now he was stopped by Su Xiaoxiao's hand composed of petals, Chu Xu walked past him and didn't notice him, Chen Xi thought that Su Xiaoxiao hid him, but when Su Xiaoxiao asked this, he couldn't understand how he avoided Chu Xu.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't ask anything more when she saw this, but when she turned her head and swept her eyes, she inadvertently saw something, she asked Chen Xi to take off her shirt and see clearly what she had just seen from the neckline.
"Xiaoxi, you..." Su Xiaoxiao pointed to his shoulder and didn't say anything for a long time.
Chen Xi looked over, his face was stunned at first, and then quickly turned red.
It was a blooming flower, exactly the same as Su Xiaoxiao's.
