Chapter 424: The Mist Appears
If those little fish didn't have a special purpose, why did it put so much effort into bringing those little fish to the market?
"The fishy smell is a special taste, it can indeed mask and attract some abnormal things, if you think about it carefully, is it reasonable."
My head was spinning rapidly, recalling the books that You Lao asked me to read before, these were all knowledge points circled to be tested, and I actually forgot them.
"Holy shit, I was so careless and let go of an important clue, that weirdo who sells fish is definitely a character at the heart of the demon organization, at least in the current plan they are implementing, he is very important."
I smacked my knee in remorse, "Damn it, I'm just one step away from him, I'll die if I used my brain a little more!" ”
I regretted that I had let go of the fish-selling freak, and their evil plans would grow like weeds in the spring.
"But if you catch that fish seller at that time, maybe the clue will be cut off, and those members of the demon organization will not hesitate to give up this chess piece when they are threatened."
I grabbed my hair hard, "That's the truth, but if I had fought with him at that time, I should have been able to roughly get a sense of what stage of the demon organization he was in, but I didn't even say a word to him, he swaggered away under my nose, I was really stupid." ”
"Not necessarily a bad thing, and then I think they'll reveal their next move soon, don't be discouraged." Zhao Heizi picked up the beer bottle and took the initiative to touch it with me.
I exhaled deeply and nodded.
"Tell me, don't you want to tell me about you? Actually, since you've been here, all I've known about you is our usual contact. Zhao Heizi smiled embarrassedly, "To put it mildly, I'm actually quite curious about you, because it's rare to find someone as young and capable as you." ”
I hiccuped and laughed, "Actually, I'm just a college student who graduated from medical school, I don't have any ability, I just have to mix and mix, but my own conditions are better, and I am fortunate to be selected by You Lao, and it is the greatest honor in my life that I can recognize him as a master." ”
I squinted slightly and looked ahead, caught in the whirlpool of the past.
For an hour, I started talking about my past after graduating from college, including the emotional part.
There was no need for alcohol to have a story, and the two of us only drank a bottle of beer, and in the end we still looked at each other very soberly.
"In the past 20 years, especially after I entered the society, I have lived a chaotic and stiff life, I can say that if I hadn't met You Lao, I don't know what I would be like now, even if there is no time and space confusion, I think I will still survive in those complicated struggles."
I smiled bitterly, "Seriously, although I am a demon hunter in the demon hunting company, I don't understand what my true meaning is, after all, those who cooperate with the demon hunting company, they don't really stand on pure righteousness and righteousness, and some are for their own interests." ”
Zhao Heizi smiled and shook his head, "No matter how complicated others and this society are, but you are always simple and righteous, none of the things you have done are against justice, righteousness and morality, You Lao chose you as the exorcist, he did not choose the wrong one, and you are also worthy of the title of exorcist." ”
"I'm a person, my evaluation of myself is that I'm not a bad person, but there is always one step away from being a good person."
"Don't be too modest, go back and rest early, you have to go to the hotel tomorrow to deal with things, by the way, the bar has been almost arranged, just wait for the renovation to be completed, you can pick an auspicious day to open."
"Well, thanks to you."
Let's say goodbye, he goes back to the hotel, and I go home.
In the taxi, I messaged Xue Xiaxia to tell her that I had just returned, and I went to see Wang Haitang, who is now awake but doesn't want to communicate with any of us.
Before the message was ready to be sent, I deleted the rest of the text, telling her that I had returned safely.
If she hadn't slept, she would definitely call me back when she saw Wang Haitang's condition, and I didn't want to disturb her.
After sending a message, I closed my eyes and rested a little against my seat, but in less than two minutes, Xue Xiaxia's phone called.
"Have you just arrived?" Xue Xiaxia's voice was full of concern.
"I've been here for an hour or two, and I ate skewers with Zhao Heizi outside without eating just now, haven't you rested yet?" I asked, smirking.
"No, I just came back from a business trip today, and I was about to wash up, and I called you back when I saw your message, by the way, did you go to see Wang Haitang? Today her doctor called me to say that she was awake but would not talk to anyone. ”
My heart moved, "Did the attending doctor call you?" ”
"Yes, I asked the attending doctor before, she has to tell me if she has any situation, although I am not her relative and guardian, but I am also her friend."
My heart warmed, "Then why don't we have a meal together tomorrow, I'll tell you in detail about the situation in the past few days, as well as the matter of Begonia." ”
"Okay, then you can rest early, good night." After saying that, Xue Xiaxia hung up the phone, without any delay, and seemed unwilling to say a word more.
No, no, no, since they promised to go to dinner with me tomorrow, it means that they are just reserved and not indifferent.
I took a shower, lay comfortably on the bed, collected my thoughts and fell asleep.
I didn't dream this night, I originally thought I would dream of Wang Haitang or the fish seller I met in Lingwei City, but I didn't dream of anything this night.
After getting off work in the evening, I went to the door of the dispatched law firm to wait for Xue Xiaxia to get off work, and my appearance attracted the strange eyes of many colleagues, some envious, jealous and hateful, and some with sparkling hearts.
This is normal, the so-called handsome guy effect, no matter where I stand, it is a landscape that attracts attention.
However, Xue Xiaxia came out and saw me at the door, but her face darkened suddenly, "Why did you come here to wait for me, didn't you say that you would go to the hotel?" ”
She said as she walked briskly forward, as if she was afraid of being seen by her colleagues.
I immediately felt a little uncomfortable in my heart, "No, what's wrong with waiting for my friends to eat?" Or do you think that my image is not good, and standing here makes you have no face for Barrister Xue? ”
"You ......" she glared back at me, her cheeks flushed with anger.
I don't know why I'm so ungentlemanly, just because of what the other party said, I went straight to others.
I took a deep breath to suppress my anger, softened my breath and said, "Get in the car, I'll send you back to pick up your car after dinner." ”
"No, let's drive our own cars, so as not to trouble coming back to pick up the car." She threw down a sentence coldly, walked straight to the side of the car and pulled the car door.
I shrugged helplessly, what a bull's temper.
Sitting down in the restaurant, we felt a little embarrassed to face each other, and I don't know if it was because the air conditioning in the restaurant was turned on sufficiently, and it felt like her face was frosty, without a trace of temperature.
I coughed, "I'm sorry, I really made a joke unintentionally that day, you must not take it to heart." ”
Xue Xiaxia flipped through the menu and said without raising her head, "If you don't say it, I'll forget it." ”
I was stunned for a moment, and then smiled, "It's good to forget, it's good to forget, I promise not to talk nonsense in the future." ”
"I am very worried about Wang Haitang's condition, I have consulted the doctor, and the doctor said that her situation is either temporarily unwilling to communicate with anyone, and she will gradually get better after that, but it may also be a transition to her mental disorder."
Speaking of this, Xue Xiaxia frowned, and the worry on her face became even stronger, "The doctor said that many mentally ill patients are silent in the early stage, closing themselves off from communicating with others, and after being stimulated by the slightest, they suddenly go insane, and it is difficult to recover. ”
"Yes, it's possible."
"But I don't have anything to do these days, I will take more time to chat with her, communicate with her as much as possible, let her say what is in her heart, you don't have to be too anxious, do your business with peace of mind."
After hearing this, I subconsciously raised my head, but found that she was also looking at me with some embarrassment, and the moment I looked at each other, I had a feeling that I had known each other for a long time, no, it seemed to be the old husband and wife's eyes.
After a few seconds, she came back to her senses and immediately lowered her head shyly, and I quickly changed the topic and talked to her about my experience in Lingwei City in the past few days.
When she heard me talk about the fish freak in the bazaar, her face was full of horror and worry, but she did not interrupt me, and listened to me with great restraint.
"That person is really weird, whether he was sent by those organizations to hurt you, you must be careful." Her hands were intertwined, and the uneasiness on her face was completely different from her usual image of a resolute and resolute royal sister.
"They can't hurt me, I'm just worried that they will harm others, and we're currently doing a lot of investigations, and they can't escape."
Xue Xiaxia's face softened a little, "No matter what, you must be careful, you are in the light, they are in the dark, if you have three long and two short, what should Wang Haitang do?" ”
"I will, thank you for your concern." I said with emotion.
After eating, Zhao Heizi called, and then I said goodbye to Xue Xiaxia, and I went to the commercial area to see the decoration of the store.
When I arrived at the door of the store in the commercial area, Zhao Heizi was talking with the designer in the store, and I couldn't wait to see this empty shop that was about to become my bar.
It's not the vanity of owning an industry, it's that I want to quickly understand the stories of those customers who come and go, and find the clues I need.
"Mr. Zhang, you're here, this is the designer Mike." Zhao Heizi came out and introduced to me.
The skinny man with long hair and black-rimmed glasses smiled politely at me.
