Chapter 25: A one-way street around the mountain
"Yes, miss." Blank's answer was still very succinct, which made Xiang Chen Liuling always feel that something was wrong.
Did he think I was harassing him? Or is it just because you can't concentrate while driving? But isn't it the same as chatting with other drivers when driving? So, what does he mean by that? It was fine just now, and he persuaded me not to give up or anything, and he seemed so close in the car, and he helped me fasten my seat belt.
I didn't say anything excessive in Brombo, did I? You haven't done anything excessive, have you? Could it be that he sees that I ...... him? Alas, no, no, it won't, it won't.
Xiang Chen Liuling comforted himself like this in his heart, and peeked at Blank again, only to see him staring at the image on the dashboard and the reflection in the rearview mirror with a solemn expression.
"Uh...... Blank ......" Xiang Chen Liuling felt a little nervous, hesitated and whispered.
"Miss, we're being followed." Blank interrupted her in a deep voice.
"Huh?"
"Don't move, sit still!" Blank said, holding the steering wheel with his left hand and working on the keyboard with his right hand.
A few levers suddenly stretched out on the back of the seat, and the pole was wrapped with a thick rubber-like substance, which fixed Xiang Chen Liuling firmly on the seat, even if he crashed, his body would not crash into the dashboard because he was fixed on the chair.
Good guy, how do you feel like you're sitting on a roller coaster that is about to start? Xiang Chen Liuling's thoughts had not yet fallen back into her brain, and she suddenly felt an invisible pressure in front of her pressing her tightly against the back of the chair.
it! At this speed, you want to fly!? Eh, this car seems to be able to fly! Thinking about it like this, Xiang Chen Liuling still has a little expectation.
Who knows, after Blank suddenly accelerated forward, he suddenly slammed his hands on the steering wheel, and the car spun in place like a spinning top. After two spins, the car landed firmly in the middle of the road.
Since this is a one-way ring road, if the vehicles behind do not stop, they can only choose to hit the mountain or jump into the sea.
There was a screeching sound of brakes, and the car behind it came to a stop.
Blank had a dark face, his eyes fixed on the car behind him.
Oh, a man in a crumpled beige suit walked out of the car behind, and he looked unkempt, except for Xiao Tong, there was really no one else.
Xiao Tong scratched his hair, staggered to the side of the car, and knocked on the window.
Blank rolled down the window halfway and squinted at Xiao.
"Hey, even if it's the Xiang family, blocking the lane is too much, right?"
"Why are you stalking us?"
"Tracking? Are you delusional? It's a one-way street, and if it's behind you, it's following you, hey, isn't all the cars behind you following you? Xiao Tong laughed teasingly, the corners of his mouth grinning to the side, revealing a contemptuous look.
"Hmph, although it is a one-way street, it is also a two-lane road, and it is completely possible to overtake, but you will always hang behind us. And you've been following us since we went out, and I can't be mistaken! ”
Xiao Tong grinned and rubbed his nose: "Ahem, okay, okay, you're amazing, okay?" Well, did you just find something? ”
"Do you want to play the trick of praying mantis catching cicadas with us?"
As he spoke, he remembered the sound of a car horn, and some people even shouted and cursed.
Xiang Chen Liuling pulled the corner of Blank's clothes: "Forget it, if he is willing to follow, let him follow, let's not block the middle of the road." ”
"Hehe, it's still Miss Xiang who is reasonable! Atmosphere! Xiao Tong gave an exaggerated thumbs up, although his face was smiling, but the eyes that looked at Xiang Chen Liuling were full of malice, and that look couldn't help but make Xiang Chen Liuling's back chill and shiver.
Turning around and waving at the car behind him, Xiao Tong walked towards his car, and Blanc also rolled up the window and turned the front of the car.
"Miss, did you really just let him follow?"
"Let's, why not? He's a cop. We can find this information, and he can also find it, maybe it is more detailed than ours, so there is nothing to keep secret.
Besides, there are more police officers than we do, so maybe they've scattered around the place. Turn around and find a place to rest on the side of the road and stop, he wants to catch up again, let's take his words well, maybe there will be an unexpected gain. ”
Xiang Chen Liuling said, showing a thief's smile.
Blank frowned slightly, thought for a moment and said, "Is this called - will be calculated?" ”
"Uh, sort of, right?" Xiang Chen Liuling rolled his eyes noncommittally and scratched his cheeks, and then asked Blanc to remove the fixed levers.
The two looked at each other and smiled, then they were inexplicably embarrassed again, and Blank slowly started the car. Several other cars passed by, not forgetting to roll down the window and curse, but Blank was not angry, as if he hadn't heard.
Not long after, he saw a rest stop on the side of the road, and Xiang Chen Liuling asked Blank to stop.
Sure enough, Xiao Tong's car also followed generously and stopped with them.
The three of them got off the bus, sat down at the open-air dining bar outside the rest station, and each ordered a drink.
"What? Isn't Officer Xiao in a hurry to investigate the case? Xiang Chen Liuling took a sip of the dark blue star juice and glanced at Xiao Tong who was sitting opposite.
"Hey, there's no rush. Time is the best detective. ”
"Huh?" Xiang Chen Liuling's head was full of question marks: Didn't you say that time is a good medicine for pain? Why did you even steal the detective's job? Is time a panacea?
Seeing her incomprehensible expression, Xiao Tong pretended to be deep and said, "As long as you spend enough time, you can always solve the case." Isn't that so? ”
Xiang Chen Liuling frowned, he always felt that this Xiao Tong was a little strange, and he didn't know what to say, so he pursed his lips and said, "That means, your police don't have any clues?" ”
Xiao Tong smiled, spread his hands, and showed a noncommittal expression.
Blanc was on the side, staring at Xiao Tong with an indifferent expression.
"Oh, Mr. Blank, why do you always have a straight face, how scary. Such expressions should be used against the murderer, not your partner. Xiao Tong gently stretched his neck to Blanc's side, and stretched out his fingers to hook Blanc's chin.
Blank flashed in a hurry, his eyes filled with anger: "Who is your partner!?" ”
"Ahem, since you are tracking the same case, of course you can be regarded as a partner." Xiao Tong withdrew his hand with a calm expression, and said with a smile.
Xiang Chen Liuling raised his eyebrows: "Ha, what Officer Xiao said is right, since you said that we are partners, why don't you share the information?" ”
"Oh? Hahaha, that's a great idea. So, why don't you tell me your information first, and then I'll tell you what I know? A sly glint flashed in Xiao Tong's eyes.
"This ......" Xiang Chen Liuling suddenly had a feeling of lifting a stone and hitting his own feet.
Just as he was about to say something, Blank stood up suddenly: "Miss, it's almost time to rest, please go." ”
"Oh, just sat down and said a few words, why are you in a hurry to leave?" Xiao Tong laughed.
Suddenly, a siren sounded, and the three of them looked towards the highway together.
A team of police cars whizzed by, and at the same time, Xiang Chen Liuling discovered a situation that puzzled her.
