Chapter 16: No One Lives Forever 6 (Ask for Recommendations)
"Did anything happen?"
Sonoda Haiwei held his hand, looked at Liu Xia who was coming towards him, and asked cautiously. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Nothing."
Liu Xia lifted her glasses expressionlessly, walked around Haiwei to the gate, and the girl behind her also caught up: "We...... What's next? β
"Investigate." Liu Xia, who walked out of the room, said this and walked downstairs at the same time.
"Well, now we and they are now...... Is it reconciled? Hai Wei recalled the scene where Liu Xia shook hands with the other party just now, but the way Li Chen held the gun again at the end made her a little unsure.
'It's really naΓ―ve......' Listening to her words, Liu Xia sighed in her heart. He felt the need to let the little girl in front of him understand the cruelty of this world.
"Miss Haiwei, remember." At the top of the stairs, he stopped his steps, turned his back to Hai Wei behind him, and said, "Here, no one is really in the same camp. You're going to be killed without knowing when. β
Hai Wei was stunned, and for some reason, these words failed to arouse her fear. Instead, I suddenly felt a little angry. She changed her previous weak appearance, walked in front of Liu Xia, and a serious expression resurfaced on her face, looking directly at the expressionless Liu Xia: "Why does Mr. Liu Xia think so?" Obviously everyone was together before, didn't they? And the robbers don't seem to want to hurt everyone! β
ββ¦β¦β
Looking at Hai Wei's serious appearance, Liu Xia suddenly wanted to laugh. He looked down at the lovely girl in front of him, the shadow of his hair covering his eyes, and the whole person looked a little gloomy.
"Do you really think so?"
His words were still unwavering, but when they reached Haiwei's ears, there was a sense of irony. This made her feel even more uncomfortable: "Yes! Mr. Liuxia! Although I don't know why you think everyone is so strange, but from the beginning to the present, even the robbers have not harmed others, let alone everyone! It's not what I think, it's a fact! Speaking of this, her originally serious and serious eyes suddenly flickered a little: "Mr. Liu Xia is obviously also a good person...... Why can't we really work together with everyone...... When I was in the conference room, too, Mr. Liu Xia must have found something......"
"You're naΓ―ve." Liu Xia, who felt a little bored, bypassed Hai Wei, who was blocking in front of her, and was not interested in listening to her high-level arguments at all: "If you think everyone is a good person, then just wait and see." β
"Mr. Liu Xia must think so too!" Hai Wei ignored Liu Xia's rude attitude, and said loudly at his back with a firm face: "Obviously I think so, but I don't admit it in my heart!" Mr. Liu Xia is unexpectedly dishonest! β
"You're thinking too much."
"Absolutely not!"
β¦β¦
After Liu Xia went downstairs, he didn't come directly to the hall, but took Hai Mi, who was awkward and didn't speak, to the cabinet where he was hiding when the robbery happened before.
Where, the body of the man who had been shot to death was still lying quietly, his expression unchanged. Hai Wei saw that the man's eyes were not closed, his heart trembled, and he quickly turned his head and held his hands tightly.
When she thought of a living person dying in front of her, her heart felt hollow and very uncomfortable.
But Liu Xia didn't care about this, he saw that Hai Wei didn't follow, so he walked to the corpse by himself.
In fact, when observing the deceased's wallet, he had a faint conjecture, but it was not mature. Being able to return to the hall this time was the time to validate the whole idea.
Liu Xia squatted down, pressed his fingers on the other party's already faintly purple face, and then began to grope around his body as if looking for something.
Coats, pockets, trouser pockets......
'Ding-'
An indiscernible crashing sound sounded. Liu Xia squinted slightly, and then directly pulled his hand out of the other party's underwear pocket.
The items in hand have long been devoid of the body temperature of the deceased, and there is a faint coolness. Looking at the item in his hand, Liu Xia's shattered glasses flashed with a light. Then he stood up and put the thing away as if nothing had happened. Hai Wei, who turned his back on the side, saw Liu Xia come back empty-handed, and breathed a faint sigh of relief. She really hated this environment.
When the two returned to the hall, the bankers were still seated in their seats.
"Mr. Liuxia, what's going on up there?" I faintly heard Chun Changshang, who was arguing from upstairs, whispering to Liu Xia, who had just come down.
"There's something special going on right now." Liu Xia did not answer Chun Changshang's question, but came to everyone's seats. And Hai Wei had a small dispute with Liu Xia before, but she is still an underage girl after all, although she thinks that everyone in the bank is a very good person, but if she really leaves Liu Xia now to be with this group of people she doesn't know, she still doesn't dare. Therefore, she can only stand by Liu Xia's side.
Liu Xia is still more tolerant of children, naturally she won't take her angry words seriously, the unhappiness of the two just now did not have the slightest trace on him, and his face still maintained an unfluctuating look.
"Now, the third party we identified as the lurking third party has taken action, and we have reason to believe that the person was responsible for the explosion."
"What?" Hearing Liu Xia's conclusion, Gui Taozi couldn't calm down: "That...... So what do we do now! β
Everyone had already deduced the existence of this lurking third person, but 'you know that there is a guy who can kill someone hidden next to you' and 'you know that there is a guy who almost killed you by your side' is completely different.
"First of all, I need to ask, how is the blockade system of this bank lifted?"
Liu Xia said this, motioning for Gui Momoko to calm down. Observe the expressions on their faces.
"On this aspect...... I know. Chun Changshang raised his hand, with a deep uneasiness on his face: "If you want to unlock the closed system, you need to use the secret key...... But the key was snatched by the robbers as soon as they entered......"
"Is that so?" Liu Xia nodded: "Then I will ask the robbers about the secret key." β
"What?" Nagao Shigeda, who had never said a word, showed a suspicious expression on his face: "Have you already negotiated with the robbers?" β
Glancing at the man who had been cold-faced, Liu Xia helped up his glasses: "So far, at least the robbers won't hurt our lives." So the first goal is to unblock this building so that we can all leave. β
"That's great!" Miwa Kawashima had a happy smile on her face, and a hint of excitement faintly appeared on her charming face: "When it exploded, I really thought I might die here today......"
Hearing Liu Xia's reply, except for Nagao Shigeta, everyone's faces showed different degrees of surprise. And Hai Wei still had a serious face, standing with the expressionless Liu Xia, and it faintly gave people the feeling of husband and wife. And the reason why she kept a straight face, although it was related to the previous dispute, was more because she thought that things were far from being as simple as Liu Xia said.
'This guy...... Can't you trust people a little bit? Hai Wei thought helplessly.
Liu Xia secretly examined the long-tail Shigerita, and then looked away. To these people: "Now we need to investigate whether there are any superfluous clues in this hall, although we have reached a preliminary agreement with the robbers, our identity is still ....... β
Liu Xia was only halfway through his words, but Nagao Shigeda suddenly stood up with a cold face
"Why should we listen to you!"
He stared at Liu Xia sullenly: "I don't trust you, from the beginning to the present!" Including the child behind you, in fact, I have to be your 'girlfriend' just to get your protection! β
The sudden words made the originally relaxed atmosphere in the hall tense again, everyone seemed to have a backbone one moment ago, and the next moment they looked at Nagao Shigeta in disbelief, and then looked at Liu Xia and Hai Wei who was a little overwhelmed behind him, I don't know which play this is playing.
"From the moment the robbers first appeared, you behaved too calmly! It's as if you didn't know it was going to happen, and when you came back from the ventilation duct in the conference room, you had something wrong on you, but you said you didn't have anything, and the child behind you was no more than fifteen years old, and never admitted that you were her boyfriendβ"
Nagao Shigeta said this, and his body approached Liu Xia: "So, can I also think that you were actually lying from the beginning of the robbery!" Whether it was the explosion or the death of the first person, it was all planned by your own hands, and you are a member of the robbers yourself, but your current identity is an undercover agent inserted into the hostages! β
As soon as Nagao Shigeta's series of words came out, everyone quickly figured out the key. It seems that from the beginning of the robbery to the present, Liu Xia is guiding the rhythm from beginning to end. Whether it was a so-called 'third person' or crawling into a ventilation duct, he was able to spot it on time even on the eve of the explosion and avoided injuries that could have killed him.
All this is actually obvious, but everyone instinctively thinks that Liu Xia is a companion and ignores it!
Seeing this clearly, the next moment, everyone's eyes looking at Liu Xia were full of doubt, and even Hai Wei, who had been standing firmly beside him all along, couldn't help but take a few steps back.
'Mr. Liuxia is really...... Is it one of the robbers? β
As soon as he thought of the honest uncle Kazuo Oshima who died because of the explosion and the man in the hat who could have survived but was mysteriously shot, Haiwei's mind began to entangle infinitely like a mess.
'Why did Mr. Liu Xia enter the bank so coincidentally?' Why was it possible to hide with yourself before the robbery happened?
Why is it so natural to shake hands with robbers......
A litany of why and doubts soon left the sea unsubmerged. She wanted to deny her own thoughts. But as soon as I think of these almost impossible coincidences one after another, the trust in my heart is like a flat boat that struggles to maintain itself in the tsunami, and can capsize at any time.
"Kid, come here!"
When Hai Wei heard this, he immediately came back to his senses. It turns out that I don't know when. Everyone had already stood up and looked at Liu Xia as if they were villains, with both fear and hatred in their eyes.
It was the female clerk named Miwa Kawashima who spoke, she stretched out a hand to Kai Wei, and stared at the expressionless Liu Xia with her eyes, as if she was afraid that he would make a move to take the child hostage.
"I ......"
Glancing at Liu Xia, who was motionless beside him, and then at everyone who stretched out their hands to him, Hai Wei fell into a dilemma for a while.
At this moment, Liu Xia suddenly spoke.
"You're right." A flash of light flashed through his glasses, and for the first time, his expressionless face showed a sneer at everyone: "That's not wrong at all, the analysis is very correct." Maybe it's really a robber. β
"What!" Hearing the words of the other party who almost admitted to himself, Hai Wei took a few steps back in disbelief: "Impossible...... Willow...... Mr. Liu Xia obviously saved me......"
"He did it on purpose!" Miko Kawashima saw the opportunity, and suddenly stepped forward and pulled Haiwei, who was struggling to maintain her standing, and instantly pulled her into her arms: "This man must be a disgusting pervert, who wants to attack a beautiful underage girl like you, and deliberately saves you to make you grateful to him!" β
Miwa Kawashima said this, and her originally charming face suddenly became a little mean: "This kind of perversion is really shameful, taking the child as his own shield and shamelessly holding other people's hands, and even taking advantage of the explosion to touch the child's face!" β
As soon as these words came out, there was another layer of disdain in everyone's eyes when they looked at Liu Xia. And Hai Wei naturally knew the real situation at that time, but she was already faintly distrustful in her subconscious, and she quickly accepted the idea that 'Liu Xia was actually ill-intentioned'.
As soon as this conclusion was established, she suddenly felt unsteady on her feet.
'This ...... How is this possible......'
"It's really disgusting...... "Katsura Momoko also quickly changed from a cheerful girl to a disgusted lady as if her face had changed
"That's good, so what are you going to do?" The shallow sneer flashed, Liu Xia looked at everyone expressionlessly again, and raised his head slightly: "Now I am a robber, and you may be able to punch me to death if I have no weapons." But what will happen to you when my accomplices with weapons come here and see this scene? β
What Liu Xia said was indeed like that, and everyone in the bank glanced at each other, and then looked at Liu Xia again.
"We are just ordinary people, and we will not destroy the order of society and kill innocents indiscriminately like you! From now on we don't allow you to join us! You don't have the right to command us! Unless you scoundrels point their guns at us, we are free......"
The leader of the leader, Nagao Shigeda, said gloomily, but before his declaration of freedom could be heard, a huge explosion suddenly sounded-
