16. Ritual begins 16
Xie Jibai hugged Tang Xin's pile of snacks, Tang Xin took the movie ticket and went in, Xie Jibai felt that the two of them looked weird, especially himself holding snacks......
A couple in the back didn't know what they were laughing at, and the girl whispered, "Look, two men." ”
I guess it's the two of them.
Tang Xin was calm, and after checking the ticket, he stretched out his hand and put his hand on Xie Jibai's waist, patted it and said, "Let's go, it's the right room in front." ”
There are five minutes left before the movie begins, and by this time the lights have gone out and commercials are playing on the big screen. The seats in the love/couples hall are relatively small, but it is almost full, and there are a lot of people.
The two of them happened to be sitting right next to the entrance, and when they entered, they found a seat and sat down. Xie Jibai squinted his eyes and saw that Lin Letian and her boyfriend were sitting in the corner position of the first three rows of them, but they could see it very clearly.
Xie Jibai sat down and was stunned for a moment, it turned out that this was the love/couple hall. Each two positions are next to each other, like a sofa, and there is no armrest partition in the middle, which is indeed very suitable for couples......
This sofa was not very wide, and as soon as Tang Xin and Xie Jibai sat in, they were almost shoulder to shoulder, and there was no space at all. Looking at others again, the boyfriend is sitting with his girlfriend in his arms, so that the position is still spacious.
Xie Jibai can only be glad that he is not a very fat person now, otherwise the two of them would really have to be stacked together.
The movie started soon, it was a 2D romance film, and Xie Jibai didn't know what it was about, and he didn't mean to pay attention.
To be honest, he really didn't expect that one day he would go to the cinema to watch a movie.
"Eat when you're hungry, I'll keep an eye on them."
Tang Xin suddenly leaned into his ear and spoke to him very quietly.
Xie Jibai felt a wave of heat, which suddenly spilled on his ears and neck. He was not prepared at all, and immediately trembled for a moment, and then turned his head to look at Tang Xin with wide eyes.
Because they were so close, Xie Jibai turned his head like this, the tips of the noses of the two people were almost next to each other, and their lips became closer.
Xie Jibai hurriedly leaned back/body/body, and looked at Tang Xin stunned for a few seconds before nodding.
It was too dark in the movie theater, and he couldn't see the expression on Tang Xin's face clearly, but it seemed that there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he seemed to be in a good mood.
Xie Jibai was indeed hungry, so he quickly ate a hot dog, and then Tang Xin handed him a bag of snacks.
Xie Jibai looked very elegant when eating, although he had changed into casual clothes, he still wore a pair of white gloves, and his hands with white gloves were holding hot dogs, which was a bit cute.
Tang Xin leaned on the back of the chair, his eyes kept looking at Lin Letian in front of him, but the afterglow floated on Xie Jibai's body from time to time.
If you can call it a date now, it will make people feel more happy.
Lin Letian was leaning on her boyfriend watching the movie at this moment, and the two of them probably didn't really like this film before they came to see it. After watching it for a while, I hugged and kissed.
Xie Jibai couldn't help frowning.
This kind of romance film is actually quite boring, Tang Xin listened to the heroine not knowing how many times she cried and confessed, and she was a little impatient.
The film is more than 90 minutes long, and it is almost over. Xie Jibai is a little sleepy, this dim environment is really suitable for sleeping, especially from time to time there will be some soothing background music.
The finale finally sounded, but the lights in the cinema weren't on yet. Maybe it's because the film is really not good-looking, and many/lovers/couples have begun to leave the scene in the dark.
The entrance was next to Xie Jibai and Tang Xin's location, and the exit was in the lower left corner diagonally opposite them.
"Let's go." Xie Jibai said suddenly.
Lin Letian in front had already stood up and squeezed into the crowd with her boyfriend.
Xie Jibai and Tang Xin wanted to squeeze over quickly, but obviously they couldn't do it, there were still many people in front of them, and they couldn't go through at all.
"What do you do?"
Suddenly, Lin Letian's boyfriend said very unhappily.
Several people around all looked at them, and Xie Jibai and Tang Xin immediately became alert and looked over as well.
"It's okay." Lin Letian smiled and said, "He didn't mean it either. ”
"I'm so sorry." A man apologized.
At this time, the ending song was sung, the lights in the theater were turned on, and Xie Jibai could see clearly.
The man in the gray trench coat who had an argument with Lin Letian's boyfriend just now, they met when they were at the ticket gate, because they forgot where the movie ticket was, and they were complained by the little lover/couple in the back.
The man is on his back, and he can't see his face at all, but listening to the voice, he should be a gentle and good-natured person.
The man apologized, Lin Letian didn't care, and the man left.
"What's going on?" Tang Xin asked softly.
"I don't know." Xie Jibai said.
Tang Xin frowned and said, "Lin Letian has something in his hand. ”
"What's that?" Xie Jibai was stunned.
Lin Letian and her boyfriend also followed the flow of people and went out. Tang Xin's eyes were sharp, and he saw that Lin Letian seemed to be holding a reflective thing in his hand.
"She didn't seem to be holding that thing just now." Tang Xin said.
Could it be that the man in the gray trench coat just gave it to her?
Xie Jibai immediately looked around, but the gray trench coat man who was next to Lin Letian just now was now gone, probably out of the theater.
Xie Jibai had a strange feeling in his heart.
Man in gray trench coat......
He remembered what had just happened at the ticket gate.
Xie Jibai showed a shocked/shocked look on his face, tugged Tang Xin's arm, and said, "You stop Lin Letian and her boyfriend and wait for me to come back." ”
"Xie Jibai!"
Tang Xin called him, but Xie Jibai had already squeezed forward quickly, squeezed out of the crowd, and then ran out of the exit quickly.
Someone suddenly ran away, everyone seemed to be surprised, and couldn't help but glance at Xie Jibai a few more times, Lin Letian also looked over, and was stunned when she saw that it was Xie Jibai, and hurriedly dragged her boyfriend to leave.
Tang Xin took a look, and immediately took his long legs, squeezed to Lin Letian's side, and said, "Little Sister Lin." ”
"Who are you?"
Lin Letian was blocked outside the exit, she hadn't seen Tang Forensics/Doctor, so she didn't know that he was also a policeman/detective, so she asked vigilantly.
Tang Xin took out the certificate/piece from the pocket of his windbreaker, quickly glanced at Lin Letian, and said, "I'm sorry for delaying Miss Lin's time." ”
Lin Letian looked very resistant and said, "I still have something to do, and I don't have time to spend it with you." ”
"What's the matter with you guys? Why do you find trouble three times and twice? Lin Letian's boyfriend also felt dissatisfied.
Lin Letian was still wearing heavy makeup and looked unhappy. Tang Xin couldn't help but look at her face carefully, he really couldn't see any resemblance to the gloomy and inferior Liu Yingbei.
Tang Xin had heard for a long time that women with makeup and without makeup were two people at all, he didn't believe it before, but now he really has to sigh.
Xie Jibai ran out, but the exit passage was very empty, there were two or three people in front of him, and he could see clearly at a glance, there was no man in the gray windbreaker at all.
Xie Jibai ran forward a long way again, came out of the end passage, and could get out of the cinema directly, pushed open the glass door, and arrived outside the building.
It's late now, and although there are street lights outside, it still looks a little dark, and there are no men in gray trench coats walking by.
Xie Jibai stood outside for two minutes, and finally walked back, after all, Tang Xin was still inside, and that Lin Letian.
"How?"
Tang Xin saw Xie Jibai coming back, so he asked.
Xie Jibai shook his head and said, "I didn't catch up." ”
Lin Letian's face was angry, but when he heard Xie Jibai's words, he was relieved.
Xie Jibai said: "Little Sister Lin, please come back to the bureau with us." ”
Although Lin Letian was unwilling, he had no choice but to follow them to the bureau.
There was no one in the bureau at this point, after all, it was too late.
Tang Xin took Lin Letian and her boyfriend to the two interrogation rooms respectively, then walked out, poured herself a cup of coffee, and asked, "Deputy team, you just went to find the man in the gray windbreaker?" ”
Xie Jibai nodded, poured himself a glass of boiling water, and said, "Yes, but I didn't chase it." ”
Xie Jibai thought about it for a moment and said, "Do you think that person is very strange?" ”
Tang Xin said: "What did the deputy team find? ”
Xie Jibai said: "Did you observe him when you checked the ticket? ”
Tang Xin nodded, the man forgot where he put the movie ticket, but this doesn't mean anything, after all, many people have the habit of throwing three or four.
Xie Jibai also thought so at first, but when he recalled it, he felt that something was wrong.
Now movie tickets can be purchased/bought online and printed out at the self-service machine in the cinema, which is more convenient and does not require long queues. However, there is a difference between the quality and style of the ticket bought in this way and the ticket bought at the ticket office.
Xie Jibai didn't think much about it at that time, just glanced at it. The ticket in the hand of the man in gray was obviously just bought at the ticket office, and it should have not been bought for a long time, and the situation of forgetting where to put it in a blink of an eye is already a little surprising.
Later, the man took out a book from his pocket, and just after he looked at it, he seemed to remember where the ticket was, and took out a movie ticket from his jacket pocket. After he checked the ticket, he took out a pen and recorded something in the notebook.
Tang Xin frowned and said, "What do you mean ......?"
Xie Jibai said: "Do you feel that he looks like a person suffering from short-term memory loss? ”
