Chapter 286: The Coming Storm (2)
Lu Yuan...... Lu Li......
These are two extremely common names.
These two people are naturally also the most ordinary people. It's so common that if you don't keep in touch often, you're likely to forget the other person's name.
That night, Yao Xiaoxin sat on the railing by the side of the road, looking at the hazy moonlight in the sky......
The appearance of the apostle undoubtedly gave this girl some spices in her life, and those phenomena similar to superpowers made him very novel.
But there is one thing that Yao Xiaoxin still hasn't figured out.
Why did the Apostles attack the Ark Group?
Although the apostle has announced to everyone through the television station that the existence of the Ark Group will disrupt the normal path of human progress, and he is helping humanity with the Ark.
It's a high-sounding statement, but ...... Yao Xiaoxin knew that the apostle was lying!
Whether the existence of the Ark will affect the progress of mankind is worth thinking about, but it is not worth changing, because change will inevitably cause turmoil, and the world cannot withstand such a big turmoil as the Ark Group.
If the apostle's starting point was really all mankind, then he could not have gone to the other ark in such a brain-dead way. Unless the apostle is a fool with a missing brain. And judging from the other party's various deeds, he is naturally not a fool, and can even be said to be 'smart'.
To sum up, this means that the apostle is again using the phrase 'to protect mankind' to hide his true purpose.
But...... What is his real purpose?
Yao Xiaoxin lit a cigarette, she had been thinking about this question for a month, but she still didn't have any clue. Communications, manufacturing, medical care, cultural monopoly, enterprise competition, the development of science and technology, etc., etc., anyway, she has tried to think about almost all routes, but she still can't grasp the slightest hint.
"Hey......" Yao Xiaoxin sighed, and suddenly, she remembered the pair of brothers and sisters.
She didn't know why she thought of those two people at this time, because the other party obviously had nothing to do with what she was thinking about at this time.
Yao Xiaoxin shook her head, then got up, ready to go to the supermarket opposite and buy a bottle.
......
"Bell bell bell ~"
The supermarket's wind chimes squeezed open by the door, making a familiar soft sound.
"Sister Xiaoxin!"
As soon as he saw Yao Xiaoxin coming in, the cashier quickly sorted out his work uniform and said hello with a smile.
"Oh~"
Yao Xiaoxin responded casually, and then got into the supermarket shelf, and when she walked out, she already had a can of beer in her hand.
She casually compared with the cashier, signaled that she had finished drinking and settled the accounts in the district, then pulled the beer away, sat down at the round table in the corner of the supermarket, and drank it without a sip.
Suddenly, Yao Xiaoxin was stunned for a moment.
Because he lowered his head and saw an empty Coke bottle lying quietly in the paper basket beside him. And on the Coke bottle, there is also a receipt for payment.
Since the small table in this supermarket is flat and rarely sitting, even if you sit here, it is just a bubble noodle.
There is no way to throw the kind of food with soup and water into this kind of small paper basket, which results in this paper basket with nothing but the bottle of Coke and the receipt.
Yao Xiaoxin frowned, she stretched out her hand, took out the receipt from the paper basket, and put it in front of her.
The receipt reads......
【Coca-Cola X1】
[Price: 4.00]
And the date below is written half a month ago.
Yao Xiaoxin looked at the ticket and fell into deep thought.
In fact...... This situation is a very ordinary scene, after ordinary people see it, except for the fact that they can perceive that the paper basket of this supermarket has not thrown this trash can for half a month, they will not notice anything.
But Yao Xiaoxin is different. Almost instantly, she noticed the strangeness of this scene.
That bottle of Coke...... is empty.
In other words, one morning, a person came to this supermarket, sat by the window, and dried the bottle of Coke one by one.
So here's the problem.
The date on the receipt is Monday, and the time is half past eight in the morning, which is exactly the kind of time when everyone who wants to go to work is up, but those who don't need to go to work are still lazy in the bed.
So what can this person do sitting in front of this window at such a time? It didn't rain that day, so instead of sheltering from the rain, was it to see the scenery? Why do you wake up so early in the morning for such a laid-back person? Could it be the old man who walks the corner? It's not right, the uncle walking on this street can basically remember that the uncle from other neighborhoods took a taxi here and looked out the window at eight o'clock in the morning to pour a bottle of Coke, which is a bit unreasonable.
So...... Is it waiting for someone?
But it's not like ah, this person is obviously just sitting down, he is ready to drink all the bottle of Coke, he first put the ticket aside, and then just drink it one sip at a time, and when he finishes drinking, he throws the bottle into the paper basket, and then throws the ticket in, so that the ticket will be on top of the bottle, not under the bottom.
Thinking of this, Yao Xiaoxin smiled, she found that she was willing to think crankily again.
It's just an ordinary bottle, so there's nothing to think about.
But...... Yao Xiaoxin is just curious, so curious that drinking is a little unpleasant.
So he picked up the bottle.
"Hey!" She shouted at the cashier next to the bar, then said a date: "Do you remember who sat here this morning?" ”
When the cashier heard this, he shook his head, although there are usually no people in this supermarket, but after such a long time, he must not be able to remember clearly.
Yao Xiaoxin raised her head and looked at the monitor in the corner above her head.
"Can I see the surveillance?" She asked.
The cashier nodded, although she didn't know what Yao Xiaoxin was going to do, but after all, she was still a woman who came often, and the smell of rot was so strong, in the eyes of this cashier, she belonged to a very perfect partner.
So, the cashier turned around and clicked a few times on the computer screen. Then the surveillance video of the supermarket was presented. The cashier entered the date again, and just like that, a slightly blurry picture appeared in front of Yao Xiaoxin's eyes.
In the picture, the time shows that it is past 8 o'clock in the morning, and there are no customers in the store.
Soon, the door was pushed open, and ...... A man walked in.
It was Lu Yuan.
When the cashier saw this, he seemed to remember something: "Oh, I remember, he came to the store that day and sat by the window." ”
Yao Xiaoxin frowned: "What did he do?" ”
The clerk recalled: "I didn't do anything, I just ordered a Coke and chatted." ”
"Oh? What are you talking about? She asked again.
"emmm......" The clerk muttered for a while: "It doesn't seem to be anything, even if the situation on this street was before, your bar, do you usually drink alcohol, and so on." ”
Yao Xiaoxin was suddenly stunned.
"That's all?"
"Well, that's all!" The clerk responded.
Yao Xiaoxin looked at the surveillance screen, staring at Lu Yuan in the picture with half-open eyes.
"I'm investigating ......," she murmured.
