Chapter 21: Dawn

Li Su closed his eyes and rested against the wall until the sound of hurried footsteps appeared outside the apartment. The door to the room was slammed open, and a man with a backpack and messy hair appeared in the doorway. He held the door frame with one hand and covered his mouth with the other, panting for breath accompanied by a violent cough, looking out of strength. But even though he was exhausted, he barely raised his head to scan the room. Ema lies in the moon's rays, his eyes closed.

"Ema! Ema! He screamed and threw himself at the girl in the center of the room.

"Did you bring anything?" There was a sound in the shadows below the window, where the moonlight could not shine.

"Brought! It's all here! Chongshu hurriedly took off his backpack and held it in his hand. Give you these things and you'll give my daughter back, won't you? ”

"How many more times do you want me to say it?" The sound of the clothes rubbing, the man in the shadows stood up, the gray-white hood covering his head and his face could not be seen clearly, and the moonlight was blocked by him, outlining his figure. "These things are used to save your daughter. The person who kidnapped your daughter injected her with a small dose of amphetamine, which dragged on for another night, and her life was in danger at any time. ”

"What? You'll have to be sent to the hospital right away! Shigeki anxiously wanted to pick up his daughter.

"The hospital may not be able to save lives, but I can." Li Su took the backpack in the man's hand and took out the contents and put them aside.

"Who are you? Why should I believe you? Shigeki's eyes widened as he glared at the man in front of him.

"I don't need your belief, I just need to be quiet no matter what you see." Li Su opened the matchbox, and the medicine head of the match flew out on its own and gathered into a ball. A moment later, the red phosphorus split into a smaller, white, metallic mass.

"Phosphorus." Gently pulling his jaw apart, Li Su put the phosphorus block into Ema's mouth.

He picked up the fax machine's drum again, and the small, gray, metallic particles peeled off. When the particles gathered to a certain amount, Li Su put them into Ema's mouth as well, and at the same time explained to Chongshu, who was watching from the sidelines. "Selenium."

After that, there was a nickel-cadmium battery, which seemed to have been removed from an old-fashioned mobile phone, and it also had the manufacturer's logo on it. ”

Then there's a stainless steel drinking glass. "Molybdenum."

.......

The elements were all separated and given to Emma, but it wasn't over yet. Trace elements exist in the form of compounds in the human body, and after being transported to the corresponding organs through the bloodstream, Li Su began to synthesize.

Chongshu, who watched Li Su treat his daughter but couldn't intervene, was stunned, and all kinds of unbelievable scenes in front of him completely reversed his values in scientific work, and he asked Li Su in a trembling voice: "Are you ...... God? ”

"Maybe." Li Su's answer was a bit careless, elemental synthesis is not an easy job, and it would be troublesome to make a mistake.

After being silent for a long time, Li Su, who had been kneeling on one knee, finally relaxed and sat back, taking a long breath. "It's fine, but it's a little malnourished. You can go to the 24-hour convenience store and buy her something to eat. ”

"Oooh...... Good. Some of the distracted heavy trees were stunned for a while before they reacted, and stood up against the wall and prepared to go out. Maybe it was because he had been squatting for too long, and when he stood upright, his legs shook and he almost sat back down, but fortunately, Li Su quickly helped him. "I'd better go."

"No, no, no, I'll go. It's already hard for you to save the little girl. Changfeng Shigeki waved his hand, "I'll just do this kind of trivial thing, do you need anything?" ”

"Tea, tea is fine."

Li Su sat back in the shadows under the window, watching Changfeng Chongshu push the door and leave, thinking that he had saved something again, and there was a trace of joy in his heart. It didn't take long for Ema to wake up, but the prolonged coma still made her a little weak. She looked around with wide, confused eyes. "It's ...... There? ”

"Awake?" Li Su walked to the door, turned on the light, and returned to his original position and sat down.

"Are you...... Mr. Assassin? Looking at Li Su's outfit, Ema guessed.

"Oh! I didn't expect it to be an AC friend. "I didn't expect to meet my friends here, Li Su was a little happy.

"No, but one of my classmates liked the main character named Agio very much, and said he was very handsome, and she showed me pictures." Unclear about the identity of the person in front of him, Ema carefully explained.

"That's Ezio." Li Su scratched his head, and was about to preach to the girl in front of him to tell her that everything is empty and everything is allowed, when Ema was attracted by the footsteps at the door. Pushing the door in, it was Shigeki, who was very excited when he saw Eima who had already sat up, and shook off the plastic bag in his hand and hugged her tightly in his arms, as if this was the only way to confirm that she was in front of him.

"Ema! Ema! It's great that you're okay! Ema! Ema! In his agitation, he could only keep shouting her name to vent his anxiety.

"Daddy! You're hugging me so tightly! What's okay? What happened? You let go of some I'm going to be out of breath! However, Emo, who was held in his arms, did not know what to do, and was frightened by his excited father and remained motionless.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Shigeki quickly let go of Ema, holding her shoulder and looking at her daughter carefully. Li Su picked up the plastic bag that fell aside, took out the oolong tea inside, and took a sip, it tasted very good. After a long time, he was quite moved to drink tea again.

"That's right! Hurry up and thank you, sir! Chongshu pulled Ema and faced Li Su side by side. You were kidnapped before, and it was this gentleman who saved you. I don't know if I don't want to scare her, Chongshu didn't say anything about amphetamine.

But it seems that the girl did not understand the seriousness of the matter at all. Although I thanked him according to what my father said, it was still in a fog.

"If you find your kidnapper, do you want to get revenge on him?" Li Su drank the tea in one gulp and asked Ema.

"Hmm...... Forget it. Ema thought about it and said seriously. Nothing happened to me, so forget it, there's no need to make others unhappy anymore. ”

It seems that I really don't understand anything. Li Su smiled bitterly and handed over the lunch in the plastic bag. "If you're hungry, eat a little, and if you think it's too dirty, you go out to eat. Take your daughter home, Mr. Shigeki. Also, after sending her back, please come back again. ”

Nagamine Shigeki reluctantly agreed, and left with his daughter, and he could vaguely hear her complaining that she hadn't taken a shower for too long. Li Su watched them leave and didn't speak for a long time.

I don't know how long it took, but EVA spoke first: "That Kanno, what are you going to do?" ”

"Have you seen Murder on the Orient Express?" Li Su did not answer directly.

"I've read Agatha Christie's novel, what's wrong?"

"I love the way Cassetti dies inside."

The sky is getting brighter, from black to white to light blue, and the sun is out.
