Chapter 7: The Drunkard

Gao Ying and Zhu Sunling are now extremely vigilant. After all, the surrounding environment is too much like a horror movie set.

In this area, there are almost no dwellings, and it is in a relatively remote location, relatively close to the sea. When he finally found the coffee shop, Gao Ying could already hear the sound of the tide not far away.

Gao Ying and Zhu Sunling parked their bicycles.

"Don't be too nervous." Zhu Sunling saw that Gao Ying's expression was obviously extremely vigilant, and said: "There is a degree of relaxation, the exam has not officially started yet." ”

They locked their bikes and looked at the coffee shop across the road. The café looked like it was only 300 square meters, and it didn't seem to have a single customer inside. Even, in front of the cash register, there was no one.

A strange aura began to diffuse.

Both Gao Ying and Zhu Sunling concluded at about the same time that the probability that Zhang Qiang was missing here was very high.

"Be careful, I'll go ahead." Gao Ying walked in front of Zhu Sunling without hesitation, "Whether there is danger or not, I have to ......"

"Machismo? I'm sorry, but I've never felt that women are inherently protected by men. However, Zhu Sunling did not appreciate it: "I am not a woman now, I am the person in charge of the K examination room." I want you to understand one thing, I don't need your protection. ”

Zhu Sunling is not a feminist, the essence of feminist thought in modern society is actually to hope that women's rights will be above men's rights. But she is also not egalitarian, and there is no fairness in this world. People pursue fairness simply because they can benefit from fairness, and conversely they don't think so when fairness hurts their interests, so feminism has developed to the present, and women don't want to be equal to men at all.

At no time do she seek male protection, and she is the only one who can protect herself in times of danger.

"No, I mean ......" Gao Ying didn't expect Zhu Sunling to say this, he wanted to say "I'm a man, I should protect women", but obviously, Zhu Sunling's thoughts were completely different from his.

"I repeat, I am not a woman to you now, but the person in charge of the K examination room. And walk, Gao Ying. ”

Looking at the café in front of them, the two began to move slowly.

After reaching the door, Gao Ying pushed open the glass door of the café.

The café was empty, and there were about a dozen tables inside, but at first glance, there was no one in sight.

"Anyone?" Zhu Sunling spoke first: "Is anyone there?" “

At this moment, a door opened behind the cash register, and two waiters in suits walked out.

Gao Ying and Zhu Sunling looked at the two, Gao Ying looked at them carefully, and in his sense, they should be alive.

Zhu Sunling slowly walked to the two people in front of the cash register. Then, suddenly, she pointed to one of the waiters and said, "You...... Let's go outside the café first, and you, stay here to answer my questions. “

Gao Ying was puzzled at first when he saw her approach, but soon he understood the intention of Zhu Sunling's approach.

She wants to check their testimonies!

In the case of separating the two, if the absolute order is invoked and the testimony of the two is different, then it is possible that one person is a ghost! Her mind is so meticulous!

However, Gao Ying then thought that if the waiter who went out was a ghost, the ghost might also hear the conversation here. In this way, exactly the same testimony can be said.

Zhu Sunling showed the photo of her mobile phone and asked the waiter who stayed in the café: "These people should have come here to drink coffee during the day, have you seen them?" ”

The other party's answer was very regular, saying that he had seen a few of them, but the testimony of the response was almost the same as the text message sent by those delinquent teenagers.

"They asked questions and left. This teenager ...... Walked with them too. ”

Didn't see any problems.

Zhu Sunling took back her mobile phone, nodded, and then said, "Now, you go out ......"

She called the waiter from outside the café in again and began asking him questions. However, she asked a different question than just now, and every question was about Zhang Qiang. She asked questions of detail. And after asking a few words, let the people outside come in, and the people inside go out. The cycle was repeated a dozen times...... Each time I asked a different detail.

And in the end...... When it comes to the details, there are no problems. The answers of the two waiters are basically the same, and as for some of the inconsistencies, Zhu Sunling didn't feel strange, after all, if two different people testify exactly the same for such detailed details, it is not normal. In the detective, all the witnesses can tell everyone they have met, even if they met two or three months ago, and they can always provide important clues to the detective, and only there can be this kind of plot. In real life, even if it happened an hour ago, even if it is a very impressive thing, it is impossible for people to remember every detail exactly correctly. Moreover, memorization is a thing that can easily produce some self-brain supplementation and processing on people's subjective consciousness.

"I see...... Gao Ying understood, in fact, what Zhu Sunling wanted was to hope that the testimony of the two could be completely consistent and undifferent, so that she could be sure that one of the two people was really a ghost or both were ghosts.

Looking at the deserted appearance of the café behind him, Gao Ying added: "You guys...... Business doesn't seem to be doing well? ”

When Zhu Sunling heard this, she immediately said, "Answer his question truthfully." “

The waiter immediately replied: "Our café is too remote, and the only advantage is that the rent is very cheap." However, business has not been good. ”

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the café: "What's the matter?" What are you doing standing outside? ”

Gao Ying and Zhu Sunling immediately looked over, and outside the café, there was a man in rags, with hair long above his shoulders and a beard. The man looked like he was only thirty years old, but this raunchy appearance made him look a little old. Moreover, he still has a bottle of wine in his hand and a cigarette in his mouth.

The man pushed the door in, and at a glance he saw Gao Ying and Zhu Sunling.

"It's an indoor public place." Gao Ying looked at the cigarette in his mouth with some dissatisfaction, "Please don't smoke here, sir." “

"Hmm......" The middle-aged man was full of alcohol, still holding a wine bottle in his hand, walked to the cash register, looked at the waiter, and said, "Bring the wine list, I am almost finished drinking this bottle of wine." ”

Gao Ying thought that Zhu Sunling would use an order to restrain this man, but she didn't do that, but quietly observed this scene.

"Forget what just happened." Zhu Sunling said to the waiter, "Receive this guest." ”

Then, she walked out of the café and called the guest in.

"Talk to this drunkard. This kind of gangster may sometimes be better informed. Gao Ying looked at the drunkard in the café and said: "This kind of person doesn't do his job, wanders around all day long, and at first glance he likes to provoke right and wrong." Maybe it will be easier to know some of the news circulating in the town. “

"Well, that's what I mean." Zhu Sunling and Gao Ying have exactly the same idea.

The two of them entered the café again, and by this time the waiter had already handed the drink list to the drunkard. And he still had a cigarette in his hand, and after drinking the half bottle of wine, he said, "Hmm...... Just come to a bar with a bottle like this...... Hurry up! ”

"Sir, we don't have a whole bottle of wine here......"

"Less nonsense! Don't want to do business anymore? ”

Zhu Sunling walked up and said, "Just give him a bottle of bar." We'll pay for it. ”

Gao Ying understood and took out the money and put it in front of the cash register.

Zhu Sunling did not intend to use the categorical command first, and the flaw of this ability was that he could only ask fixed questions, and the other party could only mechanically answer the answers within the scope of the question. The problem was that she didn't know what the drunkard knew, and just asking him about the anomaly might not tell anything. It's better to get him drunker, and maybe tell more important information.

Then, Gao Ying, Zhu Sunling, and the drunkard sat at the same table. The image of this drunkard and the overall atmosphere of the café really don't match at all, but fortunately, there are no other customers here, so it doesn't matter.

"Haha...... Thank you......" The drunkard was drunk, and Zhu Sunling also endured the cigarette in his hand and didn't let him extinguish it, anyway, all the damage can be restored after returning to the classroom, and a little second-hand smoke is nothing.

"Are you someone who lives nearby?" Gao Ying asked.

"Well...... the drunkard nodded and said, "My surname is Lu, well, but everyone calls me Lu Lao Ghost, and you call me that." ”

"Brother Lu smiled." Gao Ying said with a smile: "All brothers in the four seas, it is fate for everyone to meet here today, Brother Lu doesn't mind, just have a drink with us!" ”
