Chapter 178: Crumbs
Wang Lin didn't speak again, the two of them each picked a smaller puppet, walked around casually and went back. Bai Qi went to bed and said helplessly: "I thought I could find anything, there are so many people today, it is impossible for us to find any clues." Wang Lin, do you think you should continue to stay in Baiyan City? ”
"Baiyan City is very good, but that puppet ......" Wang Lin was still struggling with Garfield's puppet, because he saw it very clearly, and the thing was really different, and those liquids didn't seem to be dirty.
"Are you still thinking about that Garfield Muppet?" Bai Qi sat up, "What exactly did you see?" I've been struggling with that? ”
"I can't tell, I always think that puppet is a little dirty." Wang Lin could only reply like this.
"Did anyone buy that thing?" Bai Qi asked again.
"It looks like a kid bought it." Wang Lin replied, "Bai Qi, do you really think it's okay?" Why do I always feel restless? ”
"You kid just like to think too much, forget it, don't worry too much, what's the matter with a puppet?" Bai Qi replied with a smile. "Let's rest first, tomorrow I will find a way to inquire about the situation in Baiyan City, today is unlikely. After all, there are too many people. ”
"Hmm." Wang Lin replied a little absent-mindedly.
In the blink of an eye, it was dark outside, Bai Qi said that he was resting for a while, but in fact he fell asleep, Wang Lin couldn't sleep all the time, and he was always upset. Simply went out the door, intending to walk outside.
The night in Baiyan City is relatively calm, and not many people come out to play, unlike Kaitai City, which is more lively. Now there are only a few people selling late-night snacks on the streets, and Wang Lin doesn't know where he wants to go.
The place he went to during the day was the toy market, and Wang Lin may have been thinking about that in his head, so he unconsciously walked to the toy market, and now it is scattered, only a few workers are cleaning here, with garbage all over the ground and some abandoned puppets.
It's a little uncomfortable to watch on a night like this. It's like a child has been discarded.
A gust of wind swept by, and the puppets on the ground were swept up, that kind of sadness, that kind of loneliness, made people feel helpless inexplicably. After walking in for a while, there were no street lights in front of him, and Wang Lin was about to go back, when there was suddenly intermittent footsteps in front of him.
It is said to be intermittent, but in fact it is because his footsteps are not very harmonious, as if one foot is lightly stepped on and the other foot is heavy.
When he got closer, he was really a cripple, but his sloppiness and the mole on his chin impressed Wang Lin and he didn't dare to forget it. This is the guy I saw selling the Muppets during the day.
It turned out that he was still lame, and his left foot was broken, and in the dead of night, he limped so much. In his right hand, he was carrying a puppet, which looked a little creepy. He also found Wang Lin, but he didn't seem to have any intention of putting Wang Lin in his eyes.
As it got closer, Wang Lin could see the puppet he was carrying, wasn't it the Garfield puppet that he had sold during the day? Wang Lin clearly remembers that a child bought it during the day, why is it here again now?
One thing is for sure, the Garfield Muppet seems to have something even more disgusting, and now looks like it was picked up in the garbage. When Wang Lin saw that he was in front of him, he didn't seem to stop, nor did he see his appearance. Stretched out his hand to stop him and asked, "Uncle, I'm the one who wants to buy this puppet during the day, do you remember?" ”
"I remember you refused to sell it to me, but in the end you sold it to a child, why is there another one now? Can this be sold? ”
"Today's children are not sensible, they don't know how to cherish good things, and they throw them away after playing. Just threw it away,......" he could be regarded as answering Wang Lin's question, but without saying a few more words, he carried the puppet and continued to walk forward.
Wang Lin was slightly stunned in place, and when he looked back, in the dim light, he saw that Garfield's puppet was covered with no liquid. It looked terrifying, only those eyes didn't touch anything, and in the dark, Wang Lin seemed to be able to feel that gaze all the time, sweeping at random on his body.
This feeling was simply fatal, Wang Lin couldn't help but shudder. The puppet seller didn't look back again, and kept walking so slowly, his body swaying, looking like a psychopath wandering the road.
Wang Lin frowned, for a moment, he really wanted to grab this guy and take a good look at whether he was a human or a ghost.
But there was no evidence at all, and he couldn't do it for the time being, so Wang Lin had to give up this plan.
After returning to the hotel, Wang Lin always remembered the strange situation of this night. But nothing came of it. Early the next morning, Wang Lin still went out with Bai Qi to find clues, but there was no result.
In the afternoon, when he went back to the hotel, Bai Qi looked at the TV boredly, and he was shocked by the few people with prominent titles. Hurriedly asked Wang Lin to come over to take a look, only to see that the title on it read: A ten-year-old child died mysteriously, and his body organs disappeared.
This was followed by a detailed report of the news, which said that the child also bought a Garfield puppet at the toy market yesterday, and his mother remembered very well that he had bought it himself, and it was a little dirty, and he came back and washed it.
Then the child said that he was going out to play, but he went out with the Garfield puppet and never came back.
That's right, it was the child Wang Lin saw who bought Garfield that day. However, the child was not seen in the news, and he had already been carried into the police car. The place where the child's body was found was also the toy market.
Wang Lin and Bai Qi looked at each other, and the two didn't say anything, but the thoughts in their hearts coincided. This matter has now reached the point where it has to be done, and it cannot be dragged on.
After discussion, Bai Qi felt that he should start with the corpse and investigate the corpse first. But how to convince the police in Baiyan City to believe in him, and then take him to see the body has become a problem. But Bai Qi said that he could try. Wang Lin didn't have any opinions, because he saw the scene in the toy market, so Wang Lin decided to start with the toy market and the old guy.
The two decided to act immediately, Bai Qi went to the police, and Wang Lin went to the toy market, and now it was almost dark, and the body had just been found here, so there were almost no people. Wang Lin found the location of the stall set up by the sloppy guy that day.
There were still some debris left on the ground, which were cut from the puppet, Wang Lin squatted down, picked up a few pieces, turned them over and looked over, after some screening, Wang Lin found that there was still a little bit of unknown liquid on it, which was very thick.
