Chapter 183: On the eve of the storm
The first time Locks saw Liang Yi, his eyes were full of hostility, he looked at the bathrobe on Liang Yi's body, and maybe smelled the lavender fragrance on his body. If it weren't for hugging and soothing, who would have such a strong body fragrance?
Liang Yi had a calm face, the current situation is that he is inside the door, Locks is locked out of the door, he is the owner of this house, and Locks is not even a guest. The tone was very stiff, and he asked, "Who are you?" β
Locks confirmed the house number, handed the phone screen to Liang Yi, and said, "I'm Sophie's fiancΓ©, what about her?" β
"She's still washing, maybe changing, she's just woken up." Liang Yi smiled calmly and unhurriedly opened the small side door next to the big iron door.
Locks' face was a little ugly, he probably thought that Liang Yi and Sophie had a leg, and he thought that even if he hadn't been green, he was about to be green. But there is some bitterness and helplessness in his eyes, he is a pretending couple, why should he care about green or not?
Liang Yi laughed happily in his heart, he could see the complex and changeable look on Locks' face, this man had no confidence to support his woman, because he was a hypocrite and an impostor. That's why he opened a small side door for Locks to enter. She invited and asked, "Sir, don't know your name?" β
Locks' voice grew colder: "Locks Xello." β
"Under Liang Yi," Liang Yi smiled gloomily, turned around and walked towards the house, "Hearing you say this, I have a little impression that you have an interview on the morning news just now." β
Locks said coldly, "Since Mr. Liang has watched the morning news, he should know what happened in Eyre City last night. β
Liang Yi took the initiative to admit: "I do have something to do with this incident. β
Locks frowned, lost in thought.
Liang Yi said again: "I am a victim of this incident, they forced me to eat that red pill......"
Liang Yi repeated his lie in detail from beginning to end, which was more accurate than the previous words to Sophie. This matter has something to do with him, but he is definitely not a murderer.
Locks is known as the "Tiger of the Criminal Group", and his keen observation skills are not in vain. Regarding Liang Yi's explanation, he was skeptical and asked, "How did you know that 'vampires' existed?" Have you also found traces of them in Huaxia? β
Liang Yi smiled: "Let's go in and talk while drinking tea." β
Locks said in a deep voice: "I hope Mr. Liang can cooperate well, to make a long story short, I don't have much time." β
Sophie stood at the gate of the house with a nervous expression, her fingertips beating Xiao Jiujiu, like a young woman who had just finished stealing, not only to face her husband, but also to pay attention to her lover at all times.
If this is a role-play, Sophie is the wife who steals fish, Locks is the husband who comes home from work, and Liang Yi is the lover who steals with his wife.
Locks looked at it coldly, Sophie, who had light makeup on her face, her hair was combed, and her attitude was no longer so calm, the vinegar and anger in her heart burned violently, the rose in her hand trembled......, and Liang Yi's eyes beside her also had murderous intent!
Liang Yi smiled, and from time to time he flirted with Sophie, deliberately wanting to make this misunderstanding even bigger!
A red apricot out of the wall, picking flowers by hand, how unhappy?
"Hehehe...... Sophie, I didn't expect Officer Locks to be your fiancΓ©, I thought you were just ordinary friends, such a big bouquet of roses, you come down to greet it. Liang Yi greeted with a smile.
Sophie smiled toothlessly, stepped forward to take the roses, and scolded lightly: "Locks, this is not my home, it's not good for you to send flowers like this." β
Locks forced a smile and said, "Recently, the police have been busy, I haven't come to see you for a long time, and this bouquet of roses represents my love for you." β
Sophie nodded, holding the rose.
Roses are indeed fragrant, but they can't cover the lavender fragrance on her body.
"I've prepared the flower tea, it's in the living room, you feel free." Sophie glanced back at her "lover" Liang Yi, sighed slightly, held a rose in her hand, and turned to leave.
Liang Yi made a "please" gesture towards Locks: "Officer Locks, please first." β
Locks snorted and walked through the door first.
Liang Yi followed with a smile.
β¦β¦
Two teas in the living room, gradually cooling.
Liang Yi took a sip of tea, shook his head, and said dissatisfiedly: "Taiji, Taiji," and shouted at the top of his voice: "Sophie, Sophie, come here!" β
Sophie hurriedly walked over when she heard the voice, frowning slightly: "Mr. Liang, what are your orders?" β
Liang Yi put the teacup on the table and scolded lightly: "If the water temperature for making tea is not enough, the taste of the brewed tea will become weaker, and the fragrance of flowers will not be boiled." You must have been lazy and used cold water, take it back and make two more glasses - remember, boiling water should be fresh, 95-98Β°C is best. β
Sophie bit her lip and apologized: "I'm sorry Mr. Liang, I did brew it with warm water, I'll go and change two cups for you." She picked up the teacup on the table and turned away.
Locks's jealousy of Liang Yi intensified.
The mistress not only cuckolds her husband, but also instructs her wife to serve tea in front of her husband. Let's ask, which husband is not angry when he sees it?
Liang Yi smiled proudly, it is not the purpose to make Locks' head green, the most important thing is to break up Sophie, otherwise how to set up this "fake husband"? He pulled out two cigarettes, took one in his mouth, and handed one to Locks.
"I don't smoke, thank you," Locks waved his hand and refused, reminding him loudly: "Mr. Liang, I just told you that my police are very busy, why don't we get straight to the point?" β
Liang Yi lit a cigarette, crossed Erlang's legs, and said with a smile: "Then get straight to the point, what do you want to know?" I answered truthfully. After all, this is your territory, and if you can drink tea here, try not to go to the police station. β
Locks said directly: "How did you know about vampires?" Liang Yi had already woven a lie in his heart, and asked first: "As a policeman, do you know the 'holy city' in the westernmost part of China, Kashgar?" β
Locks nodded, "Yes." There's an al-Qaeda organization called 'The Devil' there, and it's very murderous. β
Liang Yi continued: "That's where I first encountered a vampire. They are tall, fair-skinned, with pointed teeth, sustained by sucking blood, sleeping in coffins, and only coming out at night. β
Locks said in a deep voice: "The vampires in the movie are all like this, there is nothing strange about it, you should come up with something useful." β
Liang Yi took a puff of his cigarette and said with a smile: "Sir Locks, don't worry, listen to me slowly." β
"Smack!" Locks took out his matching gun, slapped it on the table fiercely, and said loudly: "Mr. Liang, please don't delay time and obstruct official business!" β
Liang Yi frowned solemnly: "Didn't we agree to exchange information?" β
Locks sneered, "What is your identity?" What intelligence is exchanged? You have to figure it out, now I'm interrogating you! Last night's homicide, everyone is a suspect! If you're going to go back to the police station for tea and dinner, be honest and tell me everything you know! β
"Tearing your face?" Liang Yi shook the soot and calmly calmed down.
"Click!" Locks loaded the bullet, pointed the gun at Liang Yi's forehead, and threatened: "Huaxiaren, I have put up with you for a long time, don't force me to kill you!" β
"Sir Locks, why use knives and guns? It's only been 5 minutes, and Officer Locks is going to kill someone because of that little time? Liang Yi calmly took a puff of cigarette, slowly put aside Locks' pistol, and said:
"I fled from the Northwest and just happened to get on Mr. Ross's train. But in the last carriage of the train, 6 coffins were found, and inside the coffins lay some sleeping people, that is, those vampires. β
Locks frowned and asked, "Where's that carriage?" Where are the carriages going? β
Liang Yi took out a crumpled waybill from his coat pocket, handed it to Locks, and said, "This is the waybill for the carriage, and the destination is the JCW Marriott nightclub." So I went to investigate last night, and sure enough, I found traces of vampires. β
Locks saw the address on the waybill, combined with the information he originally had, and the doubts about Liang Yi in his heart gradually disappeared, he unceremoniously put away the waybill, and casually found a reason: "Mr. Liang, this is what I want, you should take it out earlier." β
Liang Yi shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I said, this is your territory, and I will cooperate with your investigation," he glanced at his watch and reminded: "Yesterday's freight clerk said that the carriage will be put in the warehouse overnight, and it will be loaded and shipped away at noon today, and it is now 9:30 in the morning, so it is better for us to set off quickly, right?" β
"We?" Locks put away his gun, got up and patted Liang Yi on the shoulder, and mocked: "I'm grateful to Mr. Liang for providing clues, but the police in El City don't like Huaxia people very much, so I'm sorry, Mr. Liang can't act with me." β
Liang Yi pretended to be angry and said angrily: "If you don't share information with me, forget it, you still want to stop me from finding the truth?" Anyway, I'm a police officerβ"
"No, no, no, you are a policeman from Huaxia, I am a policeman from Eastern Europe, and the biggest difference between Huaxia and Eastern Europe is ......" Locks laughed loudly, as if he had vented all the humiliation he had suffered on Liang Yi, "Okay, Mr. Liang, thank you again for your cooperation." I kindly warn you, if you act without permission, I will arrest you mercilessly, hehe......"
Locks laughed contemptuously, and walked with a much more arrogant attitude.
Sophie walked out in a hurry with two cups of tea in her hand, and happened to meet Locks and Liang Yi, who broke up because of the unpleasant trouble, and asked, "Are you done talking?" β
Locks nodded, and whispered three words in Sophie's ear: "Watch him." Then, he walked out of the house with confidence.
Liang Yi leaned back on the sofa with a cigarette in his mouth, and the confidence on his face was stronger than that of Locks.
Sophie frowned and looked at Liang Yi, a little relieved in her doubts.
"What? Do you think I've escaped? Liang Yi smiled and beckoned to Sophie, motioning for her to bring the tea.
Sophie squeezed the corners of her mouth and handed over the tea: "What did you say to him?" Locks is not such an easily satisfied person. β
Liang Yi took the teacup, took two sips, nodded with satisfaction, and asked with a smile: "Not easy to be satisfied?" That's your lack of skill and experience. β
Sophie glanced at Liang Yi, "These yellow jokes are really boring," she sat on the sofa and turned on the TV with the remote control, two hours later, the TV station was still chattering about the "Marriott Murder":
"Marriott nightclub owner Eliford Victor and all employees of the company were criminally detained in accordance with the law, what kind of shocking secrets are hidden behind the 'bloody toys' and 'murder truth'......"
A close-up of "Eliford Victor" flashed on the TV, with black hair, bright eyes, full of heaven and full of energy, where does he look like an old man in his 80s who still suffers from serious heart disease?
Liang Yi's eyes lit up, and he took out his mobile phone to take a picture of Eliford's face and introduction, "Sophie, pause the picture." β
Sophie slanted over with a disdainful look, "Mr. Liang, this is live news, how can it be paused?" β
Liang Yi's phone was too stuck, and the "camera" app reflected that it took 3 seconds to pop up, but the picture on the TV had been withdrawn. He scratched his head, a little annoyed.
Sophie said: "Eliford is a well-known entrepreneur in Eyre City, and his information can be searched through 'so degree', but the encyclopedia has all been repaired, and this old man has opened such a big nightclub, there must be unknown dirty deeds." β
Liang Yi sat down next to Sophie, handed over his mobile phone, and humbly asked, "Can you teach me how to use 'so degree' to check the material?" β
"You can't even use a search? Are you ancient? Sophie subconsciously wanted to take the phone, but after thinking that she and Liang Yi were not on the same path, she retracted her hand and said: "It's the top column of the browser, as long as the search engine can find the background and information of these big bosses, but I have checked the information of Marriott, everything is legal, and there is no other major shareholder." β
Liang Yi smiled and asked: "The major shareholder in your mouth should be the real 'mastermind behind the scenes', right?" β
"What's right or wrong, it's wrong, I don't know what you're talking about," Sophie is not stupid, she knows that she can't say more, otherwise she will step into this man's trap, she got up and pointed to the teacup in Liang Yi's hand, and asked, "Do you still drink?" I took it and washed it without drinking it. β
Liang Yi handed back the teacup and squeezed out a smile: "Help me wash my clothes again?" β
"Okay, you buy a limited-edition skirt and give it back to me, and I'll help you wash your clothes and underwear!" Sophie glared at Liang Yi and left with the teacup on her toes.
Liang Yi smiled lightly, sat back on the sofa, and began to use Lianxin to give tasks to Ye Qiu and Chen Liang:
"You two watch the TV news quickly, and help me find out the information and information of Eliford and related minions with that 'so degree', and make a report to share in the group."
After speaking, he always felt that something was missing in a sentence, and after thinking about it for a while, he suddenly realized that he held down the voice and added a sentence: "Please reply when you receive it, over." β
β¦β¦
At 15:30 pm, the sky was overcast and the air was humid.
Liang Yi stood silently on the balcony, smoking a cigarette while looking into the cloudy distance. He hadn't seen rain for a long time, and he had some hope in his heart, but also some worry;
People like to associate their mood with the weather, the wind and the sun make people happy, and the gloomy weather makes people feel depressed. The ancients said: "Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself." Liang Yi asked himself, "Did I do it?" β
Everyone has seven emotions and six desires, and they don't know the joys and sorrows, how sad is it?
"Alas......"
sigh, searching up and down is powerless; Sadness, beyond the reach of two thousand years; Pity, the living are displaced and afflicted;
The storm is on schedule, the disaster and plague are coming, and when the sky is dark, the heavens and the earth and humanity will collapse!
How can he not be worried?
"It's no good to smoke too much, so let's quit when we find a chance."
Sophie walked towards Liang Yi with a new set of clothes, what scene, what words, what kind of mood Liang Yi had, and what kind of attitude she had.
The ashtray in Liang Yi's hand was already stuffed with cigarette butts, and this bit of nicotine couldn't suppress the desire and sadness in his heart at all. He never spoke, and he didn't know how to speak.
"You try on this suit, I don't remember whose it is, but it should fit your body perfectly."
Sophie put her clothes aside, trying to help Liang Yi empty the ashtray, but accidentally touched Liang Yi's pale hand, retracted it reflexively, and exclaimed, "Oh my God, your hands are so cold." β
It's ice, not cold. The ice is bloodless, the ice is pale and weak!
"Why did the sun go down so quickly?"
Liang Yi moistened his dry lips, asked, took out a cigarette and was about to light it, Sophie quickly snatched the cigarette, tore it in half, and said: "Look at the sky, it's going to rain, the weather forecast says that there may be a 'summer storm' from the north in the next two days, it's a typhoon, didn't you grow up in Fujian and Guangdong?" Don't know this? β
Liang Yi said lightly: "I see." β
Sophie and Liang Yi stood side by side, secretly turning their heads to look at Liang Yi's cheeks, pale, weak, and their originally deep eyes became dull. She worried, "Are you sick?" β
Liang Yi said: "Is sadness a disease? β
Sophie said: "Joy, anger and sorrow are normal emotions in people, but if you take this kind of thing to the extreme, it will slowly become a mental illness," she said, like a psychiatrist, asking, "Why are you sad?" What is sad about? How sad is it? β
Liang Yi sighed: "The worries of the world are worried, and the joys of the world are happy." The sky is declining, I have to worry, the sky is declining, when will I be happy? β
Sophie pursed her lips and shook her head in regret: "Then your life is really miserable, I don't think anyone can cure your illness, it is recommended to commit suicide directly, I can provide sleeping pills for free." β
Liang Yi smiled bitterly: "Can't you expect something good from me?" β
Sophie squinted and smiled: "If it's not my suffering, I don't worry about it." β
Liang Yi said: "It is only a matter of time before the virus will always spread to El City. β
"Phew! You crow's mouth! β
Sophie stared, and her serious look didn't look like a joke. But it's true that there's a little bit of cuteness.
Liang Yi shook his head slightly, the measures taken by the European Federation should be highly confidential, and there are only occasional mentions in the news. So has the army of infected collided with the Euro military? I don't know, I don't know.
"Ding Dong!"
Unitrust News.
"In fact, you can turn on a 'message do not disturb' or 'receive no reminder', otherwise you will push news all day long, dynamic, very annoying." Sophie reminded from the side.
Liang Yi said: "I like the feeling of being in the information age. β
Sophie "cut" lightly, "I think you don't think you will, right?" β
Liang Yi snorted lightly, took out his mobile phone and looked, "Rose sent a voice", he clicked on the push message, and then a kind and polite voice sounded:
"Sir Liang, Nicole told me that she is going home tonight. So I want you to pick her up at the company and have dinner by the way? Watch a movie? Enhance the relationship? β
"Rich woman?"
Liang Yi rubbed his nose, smiled, and replied: "OK!" β
