Chapter 18: The Tuner
Chen Mo carefully observed the other corners of the room to avoid missing some important clues.
After some probing, nothing out of the ordinary seemed to be found.
"After all, the police haven't found any traces of the murderer, let alone a reserve policeman..."Chen Mo shook his head with a wry smile.
With deep confusion in his heart and an inexplicable sense of loss, he took Xiaowei and drove the flying car out of this gloomy place.
Sitting in the flying car, Chen Mo had no intention of driving, so he transferred the virtual driving system to Xiaowei.
"Ouyang Xuan, where are we going next?" Xiaowei asked softly.
Coming out of Wu Jiahua's former residence, Chen Mo has been thinking about why the host Ouyang Xuan's girlfriend looks exactly like his girlfriend 300 years ago? Did she cross over too? Or maybe it's just a coincidence.
Xiao Wei looked at Chen Mo's pensive expression, and didn't seem to hear his own question, so he asked again.
"I'm a little thirsty, look where there is a bar, I want to have a drink." Chen Mo came back to his senses and replied.
"Okay, let's go to the Trident Bar on Champs Avenue, where Dr. Ouyang occasionally has a few drinks." Xiaowei suggested.
"Okay, by the way, how do you know that Dr. Ouyang will be drinking there, will he bring a robot with him when he drinks?" Chen Mo was suddenly very curious.
"Of course he didn't take me with him when he drank, but once he was so drunk that I took him home in an antique car." Xiao Wei told the story.
"I see."
The flying car turned around and flew straight for the Champs-Écorne.
Although the height of the flying car is only a few hundred meters, Chen Mo has no intention of enjoying the magnificent night view of the city from a bird's eye view.
From time to time, there would be other cars or flying machines speeding by, and he was indifferent to this. Because, he really couldn't figure out the deep confusion that blocked the door of his heart.
He also tried to call his relatives and girlfriends, but the number on the other end of the phone was always empty.
Ten minutes later, the flying car slowly landed in front of the Trident bar on the Champs-Boulevards. The parking lot in front of the bar is full of flying cars of various styles and strange flying machines.
Although in the sky of Jiangning City, there are still virus birds passing by from time to time, but this does not seem to be able to stop these urban youths with emptiness and loneliness, come here to push cups and change lamps, talk and laugh.
Chen Mo asked Xiaowei to stay in the car and wait for him, the main purpose was to guard this super car of nearly 100,000 yuan.
He stepped up the stairs in front of the door and saw two virtual young girls at the door of the bar, welcoming him in the middle of the aisle.
When you walk to the door, the automatic glass door opens quickly.
Behind Chen Mo's sight of the glass door, there was an escalator extending downward. The moment he stepped on the escalator, the rhythm of the music in the bar had already penetrated his eardrums.
When he walked down the escalator, he was greeted by a huge circular bar, there are two layers of circular bar seats in the circular bar, the most central position is a small circular stage, there is a piano on the stage, a resident singer is playing and singing to himself, the song is an English song, but Chen Mo has never heard it.
He found that all the bartenders and service staff were robots.
"Resident singers aren't robots, are they?"
But when he looked back again, the singer's Adam's apple squirmed up and down, which seemed to prove that he was indeed human.
Chen Mo came to the circular bar on the periphery, and a machine bartender quickly walked over.
"Sir, what would you like to drink?" The robot asked in a stiff tone.
The voice was so mechanical, Chen Mo suddenly felt that the AI in his body was more advanced, after all, Chi Ling's voice was so realistic and soft.
It seems that Dr. Ouyang has indeed spent a lot of money on research on this advanced AI, unlike these defective AIs in front of him.
"Have a jellyfish cocktail." Chen Mo said lightly.
"Yes, sir, please wait a minute." Robot Road.
Immediately, Chen Mo saw the robot bartender in front of him, who was very skilled in configuring cocktails in front of him, and the fancy performance in his hands was very cool.
"Tut-tut, this technique can really be..."Chen Mo muttered.
Under the light, a jellyfish cocktail with a rich blue halo was pushed in front of him a moment later.
Chen Mo drank the cocktail lightly, the coldness and sweet and spicy sensation were mixed together, and it rolled into his throat, very happy.
The bitterness of more than two months of training, and the heavy killing opportunities around him, seemed to be diluted and diluted at the moment when the wine entered his throat.
At this moment, a woman in a long black dress suddenly sat next to Chen Mo.
He turned his face to look over, and just met the eyes of the woman next to him, and the two of them nodded slightly as a sign of politeness.
Chen Mo found that the other party had a standard melon seed face, fair skin, delicate facial features, long hair coiled on the top of his head, and earrings on his ears were elegant and chic, giving people a very temperamental feeling, but her age seemed to be three or four years older than herself.
Chen Mo was a little depressed, he couldn't figure out how such an elegant woman could appear in such a noisy place at night.
The woman in the black dress didn't order wine, just a glass of orange juice. Immediately, she turned the bar chair in one direction, facing the singer in the center of the stage, drinking juice and listening to music.
Chen Mo realized that she might be an admirer of the resident singer, and he didn't think too much about it.
After a while, the juice in the cup of the woman in the black dress was drunk, and she did not turn around and put the cup back directly, but listened to the song attentively, and slowly reached back to put the cup on the bar.
However, her move was inadvertently seen by Chen Mo. He noticed that her cup, only on the edge of the bar, was tilting downward.
"Hey, your cup!"
So, Chen Mo hurriedly reached out to take the cup, and the woman in the black dress was reminded by him, and immediately reacted, and also made the move of reaching out to take the cup.
The hands of the two people happened to touch each other like this.
Chen Mo held the cup, while the woman in the black dress held his hand.
The cheeks of the woman in the black dress suddenly turned crimson, and then she let go of Chen Mo's hand.
"Thank you, I just stopped listening to the piano." The woman in the black dress thanked her, her voice very gentle and lovely.
"You're welcome, you're welcome." Chen Mo smiled slightly, showing his demeanor.
"My name is Wen Wan, what about you?"
"Oh, my name is Chen... Ouyang Xuan. Chen Mo almost blurted out his real name, and quickly changed it.
"I'm a tuner, I've been here many times, it seems like the first time I've seen you, you don't come here often, do you?"
"Indeed, because I was thirsty, I came in and sat down, so you are a tuner?"
"Well, yes, what profession are you?"
"I... I'm a... Reserve Police. Chen Mo wanted to tell Ouyang Xuan's profession, but after thinking about it, forget it, after all, his own painting level was not much different from that of a primary school student.
At this moment, the singer on the stage stopped singing and turned around and waved to Wen Wan.
"I'm over—" Wen Wan got up and left, walking to the stage.
Chen Mo nodded slightly, indicating his understanding, raised his head and drank the ice wine in the cup, and then, leisurely rotated the bar swivel chair, and looked at the gentleness on the stage, who was seriously tuning the piano.
At this point, Chen Mo was stunned for a while.
After a while, Wen Wan closed the lid and tried again, the resident singer nodded in satisfaction, and Wen Wan immediately walked off the stage.
At this time, Chen Mo saw the other party walking in his direction, and in order to alleviate the embarrassment of paying attention to her, he hurriedly took out the mobile phone in his pocket and pretended to check the message.
"Ouyang Xuan, I've finished tuning the piano, and there is the next one, I'll go first, see you later." Wen Wan smiled sweetly, waved his hand to Chen Mo, and before he could speak, he turned around and left.
