Episode 58, Cut Throat (Medium)
It was as if the earth had stopped turning.
It's like God pressed the slow-down button on the videotape, and in the eyes of the eagle, everything became slow-motion.
The water flowing from the Coke machine, the green smoke from the fryer, Xia Fan's stunned little face, and the blade that slowly slashed towards her neck.
At that moment, almost without any hesitation, Eagle Arrow decisively grabbed a knife on the table, and then threw it out quickly!
"Huh!" accompanied by a sharp cracking sound, the knife made a flashing trajectory in the air.
Flew past the plate held by the waiter, passed through the green leaves of the houseplants, lifted a few strands of the girl's jet-black hair, and plunged the shiny steel knife straight into the claws of the evil that was slowly approaching her.
"Ahh
A scream, a soft sound, everything happened too fast, until the blade in the man's sleeve fell to the ground and made a crisp sound, Xia Fan, who was frightened by the scream of the eagle, finally understood what had just happened.
Looking at the man who pulled out the dinner knife and threw it away, and then covered his injured and bleeding hand and left quickly, a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe surged into her heart. The strong fear seemed to drain all her strength, and her trembling legs could no longer support the weight of her body, and she fell backwards without restraint......
"Xia Fan!" Looking at the crumbling Xia Fan, Eagle Arrow couldn't care about the throat-cutting maniac who was fleeing at this moment, so he couldn't help but hurriedly ran over, hugged the smaller body tightly, and supported her, so that she would not go directly to the ground.
"Xia Fan, are you okay?"
Seeing Xia Fan's frightened and trembling appearance in his arms, Eagle Ya felt extremely distressed.
The raging anger couldn't help but burn in his heart, and he wanted to find that bastard immediately and break all the bones in his body!
At the same time, he couldn't help but congratulate himself once again on his original decision, thanks to the extremely cruel training of the alliance, which created his incomparably strong concentration and action, so that he could finally not feel powerless when his family was in danger!
"I ...... Not...... ...... thing"
Looking at Eagle Ya's close cheeks, Xia Fan moved his bloodless lips and spit out a few words with difficulty.
Having said that, looking at her pale face and trembling body, it didn't look like she was fine.
Although she has always been precocious and responsible in school, but in the end, Xia Fan is only a fourteen-year-old girl after all, how can she not feel scared when she encounters such a terrible thing?
"No, I'll take you to the hospital first!"
Saying this, Eagle Arrow couldn't help but hug Xia Fan horizontally.
Now Xia Fan's situation looks very bad, as if he is about to faint at any time, which makes him really feel at ease.
Moreover, although the knife did not leave anything on Xia Fan's neck, it must have left an indelible scar on her heart. So, she now needs an environment where she feels at ease and relaxes......
"Ah, guest...... Guest, are you alright?"
At this time, the manager of McDonald's finally ran out and asked nervously.
After all, they were also attacked in front of their own store, and if something really happened, they would be more or less responsible.
"It's okay, I'm not hurt!" Eagle Arrow couldn't help but hug Xia Fan, who was still speechless, and then said to the manager over there, "Manager, can you help me prepare two packing bags?" Help me pack up the two knives on the ground, and be careful not to get fingerprints!"
"Ahhh......h
===============================================================
Half past six in the evening. Rice Flower Central Hospital Emergency Room.
"I really didn't expect to see you again under such circumstances, Takaya-kun. ”
Officer Twilight, who had arrived in a hurry, gently lifted the brim of his hat and sighed helplessly.
"I can understand Officer Twilight, after all, no one could have expected this to happen......"
Eagle's face was not as frivolous as it used to be, it was as serious as if he had already put on that black mask.
"Sister Ling is okay?"
Looking at Hawkya's dark face as if it was about to frost, Officer Twilight's tone of question unconsciously became a little more cautious.
If it weren't for the fact that Kiyocho Matsumoto and Minister Odakiri had gone to the field for a meeting, they would definitely come over in person today!
People who live in Rice Flower City can say that there is no one who does not know what kind of existence the Yuchai Group is.
The founder of the Hashiba Group, the great-grandfather of Takaya, was a successful businessman who led the trend of the times during the Meiji Restoration, and it can be said that at that time, it can be said that the entire economic lifeline of Japan was greatly reversed. Therefore, he was received by Emperor Meiji and was given the nickname "Edo Hero", which can be said to be famous.
Nowadays, with the development of the times, the Hashiba family is not as good as before, and the style of behavior is becoming more and more low-key, but the so-called emaciated camel is bigger than a horse, and the Hashiba family is still a pivotal existence in the whole of Japan.
And this rice flower market is the witness of their Yuchai family.
More than 100 years ago, it can be said that the Yushiba family made great efforts to slowly rebuild the city after the war.
To put it mildly, the entire rice flower market can be said to be opened by their family......
Therefore, the murder of the two parents of the lord in front of him, Shuichi Hashiba and Eri Hashiba, caused a sensation in almost the whole of Japan.
And now, the little princess of the Yuchai family has this incident again, how can this make him not worry!
He can't wait to slap that bastard to death, who are you looking for, ****** you want to find this little princess!
"Ah, it's okay, I'm not hurt, I'm just a little frightened, and I'm resting in the ward. ”
Fortunately, at the mention of Xia Fan, Yingya's face couldn't help but soften a little, and it didn't look so scary.
"Oh, by the way, Officer Twilight, this is the knife that the prisoner left at the scene, and the table knife I threw at the prisoner. Although he was wearing gloves at the time and may not have fingerprints, the knife had his blood on it. I thought it might help you, so I wrapped it in a bag, hoping you wouldn't think I was meddling. ”
Taka couldn't help but take the two things he had asked the manager to pack for him out of his bag.
"Oh oh, how can it be, that's a great help, Takaya-kun!"
Seeing these two things, Officer Twilight couldn't help but be overjoyed, it would be good to have a witness who knew how to protect evidence.
"yes, that's good, I hope I can help you and catch that prisoner as soon as possible!"
"Well, don't worry, Eagle Ya-kun, this is our business, we will definitely find him!"
With that, Officer Twilight couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder and give him a relieved look.
"But then again, what is the matter with this table knife, why is there a prisoner's blood on it?"
Taking the two "evidence bags" from Eagle Arrow's hand, Officer Twilight couldn't help but say curiously.
"Ah, at that time, because I saw that guy wanting to make a move on Xia Fan, I picked up the table knife next to me and threw it at him without thinking about it! Who knew that it would hit so accurately! It seems that the name of my little prince of darts is still alive!"
At the mention of this, Eagle Arrow suddenly couldn't help but shudder again.
"Yes, yes?" Officer Twilight couldn't help but cough heavily, "Ahem, Takaya-kun, although you are here to save people this time, but next time something as dangerous as a knife, don't throw it around!
"Well, of course, of course, I'm a little scared now, but I'm lucky to hit ......"
Hearing Officer Twilight's words, Eagle Arrow couldn't help but cooperate with a look of embarrassment as if he was afraid.
"Yes, that's good. Officer Twilight nodded, and stopped pursuing the matter, and then took out the police manual and pen from his breast pocket, "Then Eagleya-kun, can you describe to me what the prisoner looks like?"
He wore a dark brown coat with wide sleeves, a black cap, and a pair of wide round sunglasses, which blocked most of his facial features, and because of the reflection of the sun, the sunglasses were purple or what color could not be seen clearly in the sun. ”
Hawkya couldn't help but close his eyes, carefully recalled the scene at that time, and pieced together the man little by little in his mind.
"Are there any more specific features, such as a mole or scar on the prisoner's face?" Hearing Eagle Arrow piece together a non-specific figure, Officer Twilight couldn't help but show a look of distress, and asked a little reluctantly.
"This ...... It doesn't seem like there'......," Hawkya, who thought about it for a while, couldn't help but shake his head.
"yes, thank you anyway!" Officer Twilight sighed helplessly.
It seems that there is no major gain from the character image for the time being, and I hope there will be something to gain from these two knives.
"Whew...... Call...... Xia Fan......! Where is Xia Fan!"
At this moment, accompanied by a rush of footsteps, a breathless voice suddenly came into the ears of the two.
When I turned my head, I saw a middle-aged man panting, holding the door frame with one hand, looking at them with anxious eyes.
"Ah, second uncle, are you here?" The moment he saw this man, Yingya's eyes couldn't help flashing, and then he said with relief, "Don't worry, Xia Fan, she's fine, the doctor gave her a tranquilizer just now, and now she's lying asleep in the ward......"
"Yes, that's good! Thank God! Thank God! She's fine!"
After pushing open the door of the ward, he saw his daughter lying on the bed, who was like a sleeping beauty, and at that moment, it seemed that the nerves that had collapsed to the limit suddenly relaxed, and Shinji Yushiba suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, as if he had exhausted all his strength, and couldn't help but sit on the ground like this by leaning on the door frame, and he didn't care whether the ground was dirty or not.
"Whew...... Call...... Chairman, are you alright?"
Just a few minutes after Shinji Hashiba sat down on the ground, his assistants finally arrived out of breath. Seeing that they were holding notebooks and folders in their hands, it seemed that they were on the way to a meeting, and they immediately ran out after receiving a call from Eagle Ya.
"Could this be the chairman of Yuchai Group?"
Seeing this man sitting on the ground panting without an image, Officer Twilight couldn't help but swallow his saliva and asked softly.
"Ah, yes, he is my second uncle, Xia Fan's father, the current chairman of Yuchai Group, Yuchai Shinji. ”
Hearing Officer Twilight's question, Takaya couldn't help but nod.
"Mr. Yuchai, hello, my surname is Twilight, the Rice Flower Metropolitan Police Department searches the first section of the police department. ”
Officer Twilight took a deep breath to calm down before he walked up to Shinji Hashiba and held out his hand to him.
"Ah, hello, Mr. Officer, I'm sorry for you. ”
Shinji Hashiba couldn't help but stand up and shake Officer Twilight's hand.
"Where, where is my job, but this time let Ling Qianjin suffer such a thing, it is the dereliction of duty of our police, I'm sorry. ”
Seeing Shinji Yushiba so polite, Officer Twilight was even more embarrassed, so he could only push the brim of his hat and bow deeply to him.
"Me too, I'm sorry, second uncle, it's me who put Xia Fan in danger, if I hadn't dragged her out today......"
Seeing Officer Twilight bowing, Takaya couldn't help but apologize to Shinji, but before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted first.
"Stinky boy, are you old enough to be the second uncle?"
"Second uncle......" Hawkya couldn't help but look at him deeply.
To be honest, the moment he saw Shinji rushing in panting, Takaya couldn't help but feel a slight touch.
His clothes had long been soaked with sweat, his suit and tie, which had been extremely energetic, were now crooked, and even his hair was messy, and he didn't look like the chairman of a group at all, but more like a refugee who was shipwrecked on a boat.
It can be seen that he really used the fastest speed and rushed here desperately.
This reminded him of the night when he was five years old, when he had a high fever, his car broke down halfway, and it was his father who carried him all the way to the emergency room of the hospital.
At that time, he stretched out his heavy eyes, and vaguely saw such a disheveled and panting father.
"Hmm......" At this moment, Sleeping Beauty let out a low moan, attracting everyone's attention.
"Xia Fan, are you okay?" Yushiba Shinji couldn't help but rush over and hold his daughter's hand as soon as possible, and asked with concern.
"Dad?" Xia Fan opened his confused eyes and asked with some confusion, "What am I ......?"
"It's okay, it's okay......"
Yushiba Shinji couldn't help but grab Xia Fan's cold hand and gently put it on his cheek.
"Xia Fan, how are you now, are you feeling okay?"
Eagle Arrow couldn't help but come to the head of the bed on the other side, half-squatted down, and looked at her with concern.
"Yes. It seems that the effect of the medicine has not faded, and Xia Fan has not recovered much strength, so he just nodded lightly.
"That's good......" Seeing that there was no longer that fear in Xia Fan's eyes, Eagle Ya's heart couldn't help but let go.
You must know that excessive fear is likely to cause great damage to the young mind of the girl, and may make her unable to get rid of this shadow for the rest of her life, and live in this fear for the rest of her life. This was also a point that Eagle Ya was worried about before, but now he found that he was too worried, Xia Fan was stronger than he thought, he just needed something to accept and recover.
"Mr. Yuchai, and Yingya-kun, since Miss Xia Fan is fine, then we will retire first!"
Looking at the father and daughter of the two, Officer Twilight couldn't help but smile a little, and then said goodbye to Shinji Yushiba.
"Ah, please, Officer!" Shinji Hashiba couldn't help but say solemnly, "Please make sure you find the prisoner!"
"Yes, we will!" Officer Twilight nodded solemnly, then turned and walked out the door.
"In that case, then Xia Fan, you can rest for a while, get a good night's sleep, and there will be nothing to do. ”
Eagle Ya stretched out his hand and gently stroked Xia Fan's long black hair, revealing a concerned smile.
If it was the usual Xia Fan, he would definitely avoid her hand with a disgusted look. But at this moment, maybe because the effect of the medicine has not passed, or because of something, he just nodded quietly, and then closed his eyes.
"Second uncle, I still have some things, so I'll leave first. ”
After appeasing Xia Fan, Yingya couldn't help but stand up and said to the second uncle over there.
"Eh, don't you stay and be late? Your aunt has already instructed the cook to prepare the meal, and will come over right now. ”
"No, second uncle, I still have some urgent matters to deal with later, so ......"
"Okay, then you go. Be careful, and be sure to be safe yourself. ”
Seeing Eagleya's serious look, Shinji Hashiba didn't hold back any longer, but just told him a few words.
His daughter is now lying in a hospital bed, and he doesn't want to see half of his son become like this.
"Yes, I know. ”
Finally, after taking a deep look at Xia Fan, Eagle Arrow walked out of the room without looking back.
The moment the door was completely closed, the original smile on his face instantly cooled down, and it was replaced by endless cold again.
"Hey, Uncle De, help me find that decoder!"
As she walked out of the hospital, she dialed her phone number on her mobile phone.
"Which decoder? Oh, that, young master, have you decided to go further and further down the path of the criminal?"
On the other end of the line came the slightly surprised voice of the dutiful old butler.
"It's too dangerous to let a guy like that move around......" Raising his head, looking at the news report about the 'perverted serial killer who kidnapped and killed young girls in a row' playing on the big screen of the building, Eagle Ya couldn't help but squint his eyes deeply, "And he dares to attack Xia Fan, I have to find him...... Don't remember any means!"
This sentence is said through gritted teeth and categorically.
However, what Eagle Ya didn't know was that at the same moment, someone was saying the same thing to him in the same tone.
"Find him out, no matter what!"
Shinji Hashiba stood in front of the window of the hospital corridor, looked at the back of Takaya leaving, and said to the person on the other end of the phone.
"It's already your dereliction of duty to let Xia Fan suffer such a thing in the afternoon, I don't want to hear any bad news......"
Shinji Yushiba's face at this moment was completely devoid of the gentleness he had when he faced Xia Fan and Eagle Arrow just now, and his face was a little terrifying.
"yes, just like the previous corner......"
Shinji Yushiba pushed open the door and glanced at Xia Fan, who was lying on the hospital bed and fell asleep again, and narrowed his eyes.
"I will never let anyone who can threaten my daughter continue to live in this world!"
