Chapter 48: Getting drunk inevitably hurts your body
And so it goes, from dark beer to apricot wine, and then again with wine. Drunk so drowsy that he completely forgot about the passage of time. It's too boring to use spells to cheat wine on this kind of occasion to enhance friendship, so Xu Changqing didn't cheat at all, and relied purely on the real amount of alcohol.
At the end of the drink, the first to retreat was actually Xia Cheng. "Had a good day," she stood up crookedly, "but I have some business tomorrow and need to wake up early...... Well, I'll go back to my room first. ”
Unexpectedly, Uesugi was still very sober, although he was also drunk. This guy is usually inconspicuous, and the amount of alcohol is not small. He looked down in the cardboard box for a while, and pulled out a strange bottle of wine. The logo on the bottle is printed with Latin letters, perhaps from South America. "Xia Cheng has gone upstairs to sleep, let's drink some wine," he sniffed the bottle and gave a thumbs up, "This wine, good!" Fierce enough! ”
I found two limes in the fridge and cut them to mix with wine. The yellowish-brown wine is slightly lighter and more fragrant. The two touched a glass and praised in unison: "Good wine!" ”
The two drank to each other for a while, and Uesugi suddenly said, "Xia Cheng...... It's a good girl. ”
"Huh?"
"You don't think she likes you? Usually my eyes always like to drift to you. ”
Xu Changqing drank the wine in the cup: "No, we are not a couple, she and I should never be together." ”
"Aha!" Uesugi poured him full again, "No wonder sometimes Queen Bluebird's face is so ugly, it turns out to be you, Hiccup...... I don't understand! ”
The two of them touched a glass and drank it again. Uesugi continued to pour the wine, but there wasn't much left of the bottle. "There is a lack of wine, and there is a shortage of women," he complained, "and it is not a matter for two men to drink together." God, give me a girl! ”
"You'd better not call Xia Cheng," Xu Changqing reminded Uesugi, "believe me, she must have a bad temper when she is woken up." ”
"Obviously it can't be Konan," Uesugi looked at the clock on the wall, "At this point, she should have fallen asleep a long time ago." We drank until five in the morning, ha! ”
"It's obviously two o'clock," Xu Changqing corrected him, "At five o'clock, your wife might have to go out for a run." ”
"Anything, or I'll call a few girls over the Internet?"
"What!" Xu Changqing was shocked, "You are a homebody with a family, and you still know a girl outside?" ”
"There are a lot of girls on the Internet, okay, Xiao Nan goes to bed early, and I have a lot of time to surf the Internet. You know how many girls are soaking in the Internet all night? ”
"Damn, Sun Thief, you are all married and hooking up on the Internet. I only have four words for your behavior," Xu Changqing looked upright, "Please take me!" ”
Uesugi laughed: "That's right! That's it! Let me log in to my bullying and unbeatable Pine account and seduce some little girls over for a drink! Look at my invincible eyes, which cutie can stop such an affectionate gaze! ”
Xu Changqing gave a thumbs up: "Uesugi ...... What a genius you kid! ”
Uesugi was not modest, and agreed: "Of course this genius is a genius!" Wait, I can call a whole room of beautiful women with a single message! ”
Xu Changqing was full of praise: "Fucking handsome!" Call those girls! ”
The two hooked their shoulders and staggered together towards Uesugi's studio, still holding wine bottles in their hands. However, when they walked to the door of the studio, the two of them had forgotten all about what they had just said.
"Aren't we drinking? Why come to the studio? Uesugi muttered to himself in confusion.
Xu Changqing was also in a trance in his mind. He struggled to remember, as if he had caught some clues. "Like...... A plan agreed upon in the afternoon? He said uncertainly, "Let the cops believe that the fog demon is going to steal the diamond." So they can get into each other," he said, gesturing to each other, "and they're together." ”
Uesugi patted his head: "That's right, it should be this!" Let's do it! ”
In the conference room of the Central Police Station in Horoza, the fog demon special search team is meeting all night. Utsumi, the head of the inspection department from Edo, was invited to participate and is speaking at the moment.
“…… Based on the above analysis, the person of the fog demon is likely to be this Chinese man, the former software engineer, Xu Changqing. ”
At this time, the projector suddenly clicked black, and when it lit up again, all the documents that Utsumi had just opened disappeared, and there was only a big white-faced demon on the screen.
"Haha...... They're all in line, Hiccup...... You're discussing how to catch me? Hahaha, don't think about eating ash in the next life, wahahaha! ”
The voice of the fog demon was confused, with a harsh smell of metal, and it was completely unintelligible who it was. But even across the Internet, you can still smell the smell of alcohol.
"Mist Demon!" Utsumi was taken aback, "This is the police station intranet, you can actually infiltrate it?" ”
"What about the police station intranet, Uncle Ben can come if he wants, and he can leave if he wants!"
"Presumptuous!" The head of the police in the front was furious, "Fog Demon, you have repeatedly provoked powerful agencies, do you really think we can't catch you?" ”
"You ...... Of course you can't catch Uncle Ben, seeing that you are so pitiful, I'll give you some clues. I, the Fog Demon, announce here! Next week, I will go here for the Duke Treasure Tour, and the uncle will have a foot in it! That beautiful blue stone is in the uncle's bag! Wha-"
With a click, the communication was cut off and the screen went black. Everyone didn't come to their senses, and they all stood in place.
Such an arrogant and indifferent announcement surprised the police in the conference room. Someone quickly found out the information from the hotel. "The Duke of Newcastle's Treasures Tour, which arrives in Horoza next week, is eyeing the 67.125-carat rare blue diamond 'Ice Blue Grudge'? It was a traveling exhibition hosted by the Smithson Museum, and the whole country stood behind it! It is said that the core defense work is carried out by the most elite SEAL Corps in the United States. This...... How is this possible? ”
"What are you doing here?" The police chief was furious, "What about the people in the cyber security class? Go call someone from the Cyber Security Class to come over! Check it out for me! Find out how the fog demon got in the dark! ”
Someone hurriedly exited the room, looked for someone, and hurried away.
Utsumi witnessed the whole process from beginning to end, but he watched from the sidelines and didn't say a word. As a guest guest, it was not appropriate to speak at this time, but that did not prevent him from thinking. To be honest, it is not quite in line with the fog demon's modus operandi to send a notice to the police station's intranet so arrogantly. In the impression of the inland sea, Xu Changqing has always been a low-key and rigorous person, and his behavior is as regular as a clock.
From the murder of a homeless man under the bridge, to the mysterious disappearance of a female train attendant, to the tragedy of a church, and a series of murders in the foggy alley. Xu never left any real handles. He has a close relationship with this series of crimes, but there is no strong direct evidence. Strictly speaking, even if Xu Changqing is arrested. As long as he remained silent, there was nothing the police could do.
A genius offender?
Utsumi sighed to himself. He had read almost all of Xu Changqing's background information, and he couldn't imagine that a person who had lived an ordinary life for more than 20 years could suddenly become like this?
