Chapter 145: The Road to Rivalry is Narrow
I was caught off guard by the barbershop owner's words, and my head was instantly stunned!!
"Did they go into the house last night?"
"At ten o'clock in the evening, the two of them went in together, I saw it with my own eyes!"
The shopkeeper said every word clearly, and his expression was extremely resolute, as if he could not tolerate the slightest question, which couldn't help but make me dumbfounded!
But after a careful aftertaste, I always feel that it makes some sense!
The dart was lost from my hand, Hu Badao has always been the most anxious among us, the two murders in the water room, the atmosphere here is terrifying, guarding at night, and the plan to arrest people during the day is also what he hesitated to decide, so reasonable, there is no reason to act behind my back?
The shopkeeper's eyes stared at me nervously like hooks, and when he saw that my face was uncertain, he tilted his head and said:
"Brother, don't believe it, I saw the truck driver walk into the water house, that person can't disappear out of thin air, why can't you look for it at dawn, it must have been secretly captured by the two last night!"
I was still thinking hard about it, Da Fei called urging, and I comforted the boss ambiguously and then turned around and went out.
................
In the county hospital, Mu Qin was no longer in a big problem after a day of recuperation, and we decided to stay in the county seat for the time being after discussion.
After several turnovers, the sky is getting dark, Da Fei looked for a friend to settle us down, so he called Xiao Kai of the Transportation Bureau for help, the hunting seven wolves were still leaning against the window, and Liu Fatzi and Mu Qin were worried about the safety of the white elves.....
What the barbershop owner told me has always been haunting in my heart, I can't believe it, I can't ignore it, and after weighing it, I still find an excuse to call Hu Badao out.
Hu Badao was angry, and the whole person looked very anxious, and he asked me impatiently as soon as he went out:
"What are you doing mysteriously, what can't you say in front of everyone!"
I walked in front and cleared my throat and whispered:
"Uncle Hu, did you and Da Fei find anything wrong at the bridge of the water house last night?"
Hu Badao heard what I said, lowered his head, and asked me weakly:
"I don't feel anything wrong, why do you suddenly ask this?"
When I heard this, I simply asked more directly: "Last night, did you and Da Fei have already entered the water room?" ”
As soon as the words fell, Hu Badao raised his head suddenly, and between his eyes and my eyes, through the glass of the glasses, I could see that his pupils were slightly dilated!
After staring at each other for two seconds, Hu Badao stared at me and said with a dry smile:
"No, I squatted at the bridgehead with Da Fei last night, and we went in together in the morning!"
After saying this, he immediately asked:
"Why do you say that, where did you get that sentence?"
Since rescuing Da Fei offended Mr. Toad from the end of the world, the six of us have experienced a lot of hardships together, although each other has different personalities and different purposes, but it is undeniable that the cold feelings at the beginning are also gradually heating up subtly. For me, I trust each and every one of you when it comes to darts.
To tell you the truth, I replied without thinking:
"The barbershop owner said that I saw you and Da Fei sneak into the water room last night!"
"What?!"
Hu Badao was shocked when he heard this, and subconsciously raised his tone.
"Damn, Lao Tzu clearly poured the northwest wind on the bridge for a night, this little boss drank fake wine, right? What looks? ”
I lit a cigarette in my mouth and continued disapprovingly:
"Uncle Hu, I believe that you and Da Fei didn't hide it and confessed to you directly, what do you think?"
Hu Badao stared at the street lamps on both sides of the sidewalk and was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice:
"The robber entered the water house, it was the little boss who said it himself, but the house was empty, and now he is stirring up discord and talking nonsense, I have always thought he is an honest man, am I wrong?"
I took a puff of cigarette and sighed: "It's strange here, to be honest, he was introduced by Da Fei's friend, it should be no problem, could it be that someone sneaked in in the middle of the night while you and Da Fei were not paying attention?" ”
Hu Badao took off his gold-rimmed glasses and wiped them. Ban Yan groaned:
"That's impossible, we haven't blinked all night, and no one has ever passed near the bridge!"
Seeing that he was so determined, I thought about it and said:
"You two didn't go in, and no one passed by, so who did he see? Blinded? ”
Hu Badao put on his glasses and didn't speak, when he suddenly heard Da Fei's shout behind him:
"Uncle, Xiao Kai has news!"
Looking back, Da Fei and the Seven Wolves followed from afar.
"What's the news?"
Da Fei panted and waved the mobile phone in his hand:
"Xiao Kai called and said, see, see the thief....."
"Where?" Hu Badao's eyes lit up and asked eagerly.
"Near the water house!!"
When I heard this, I sighed in my heart, why is it still a water house, and people haven't run far? But he didn't ask in detail, but hurriedly rushed over according to the address given by Xiao Kai.
Located in the old community behind the riverbank, Xiao Kai was waiting for us at the crossing not far from the community, knowing that we were in a hurry, he didn't talk nonsense after seeing people, and quickly introduced the situation:
"The person was seen by my colleague when he was on duty, about half an hour ago, and now he should be hiding in this building!" As he spoke, Xiao Kai stretched out his hand and pointed back.
It was getting late, and when I looked in the direction, there was only one chimney building in this community, which was too dilapidated, and the black pressure was overwhelming, but fortunately, the building was only seven floors.
But even so, there are nearly 100 households in these two units, so how can they find them?
Looking around, we noticed that there was an old man sitting on the big stone at the entrance of the community, wearing a gray cloth vest, gray hair, peaceful cheeks, and fanning the folding fan in his hand from time to time.
Da Fei leaned over and asked in a low voice while gesturing:
"Uncle, half an hour ago, did you see a tall middle-aged man wearing short sleeves, a round face, passing by?"
The old man looked up at him lazily, and said in a hoarse voice:
"See, see."
Da Fei asked excitedly:
"Really, where did he go?"
Without thinking, the old man turned around and pointed his fan at the door of the second unit.
The clueless problem suddenly had a clue, and it was much smoother than I thought, Da Fei thanked us, and walked towards the second unit with us overjoyed, and heard the old man behind him shouting hoarsely:
"The seventh floor!"
The seventh floor? I was stunned, stopped, and asked:
"Uncle, how do you know that you are on the seventh floor?"
The old man did not answer, closed his eyes and shook his fan, and put on a look of love or disbelief.
I pondered for a moment, grabbed Da Fei, who was about to rush in, and muttered in a low voice:
"Wait a minute, I don't think we all go up, it's better to leave two downstairs!"
Hu Badao agreed with my suggestion and instructed:
"That's it, you two go upstairs first, and my little brother and I will guard the two doorways to prevent him from running away from next door!"
After arranging the back road, Da Fei and I were relieved to plunge into the dark corridor.
There is no property in this community, most of the wall skin is peeling off, mixed with thick dust, the light is extremely poor, and there is a disgusting musty smell everywhere!
The two of us climbed to the seventh floor in one breath, and saw that the doors of the three houses on the left and right were tightly closed, and I pointed to the iron door in the middle that was covered with small advertisements, and motioned for Da Fei to knock on this first.
"Knock knock...," I took a deep breath and knocked softly on the door.
It was a little girl of seven or eight years old who opened the door, and I craned my neck to peek into the room, and saw that there was a TV in the living room, and the family was sitting around the table for dinner.
No, I politely apologized and started knocking on the left door again.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
A minute passed, and there was no response.
Da Fei glanced at me, implying that I was definitely in the room, and without saying a word, I was about to kick the door when I raised my foot.
I was startled and was about to stop "Bang! With a bang, the big dilapidated wooden door flipped in!
The room was dark and quiet, Da Fei turned on the flashlight, and saw that there were some old furniture and household appliances inside, and he entered the door vigilantly, Da Fei turned into the bedroom, I was just about to follow, and suddenly heard a "squeak" sound from the corridor to the door.
I turned my head to look, only to see a man of more than 1.80 meters and a sturdy body, tiptoeing out of the door, just in front of me, it was no one else!! It's the truck master we've been looking for, the robber!!
And in his hand, he is still holding our dart box!!
