Through the dialogue with Li Jianguo's phantom, it clearly stated that he had amnesia, and this was very similar to Xiaoli - Xiaoli also said that she couldn't remember who she was. Reading at zero o'clock

All with that strange blue mist;

There is amnesia;

And it's almost in the same place......

The coincidences between Xiaoli and Li Jianguo's phantom are indeed incredibly numerous.

Years of experience have taught me that in this world, true coincidences are actually very rare.

This mess of head may have been pinched in my hands.

Twenty or thirty years ago, this district was originally a thriving industrial base, relying on the coal and iron mines of Liuqi Mountain, a large area of coal and iron and steel industries was built here, such as coal mines, iron ore mines, iron-making and rolling mills, coal-fired power stations, and extended industries such as coal mining and steel deep processing...... 739 steel mill is one of the bright stars.

But now, most of the old factories in the North District are deserted, and it looks depressed and dilapidated compared to the rest of Jinguan City...... Just like the sentence of Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, "Falling flowers and flowing water in spring, heaven and earth", the world is prosperous, but it is just a passing cloud, and all everyone can do is just live in the present.

Near the 739 steel mill, there is a large shantytown, and the houses here are basically old buildings built more than 30 years ago, and the buildings are connected to each other, forming many dark and narrow alleys.

I parked the Beijing jeep in one of the alleys, then circled around and sat down in a small noodle restaurant that didn't even have a signboard, opposite a seven-story red brick building, which was a slightly new building in this area, but if you look at the place where it was built, it was obviously an illegal building.

However, this side is not like the urban village, the urban village is dirty and messy, but it is not withered at all, but it is popular, but here is less crowded, abandoned empty buildings abound, there are so many illegal buildings, and the municipal government is too lazy to take care of it.

At the door of the small noodle restaurant, there is a steel pot with noodle soup churning, a door panel is used as an operating table, on which are placed noodles wrapped in plastic paper, and there are several coarse porcelain large bowls that can no longer be seen in their original colors, which contain various condiments and sauces, and the owner picks up an electric light with a bamboo pole and sets it above the counter, which is the only light source in the store.

In the beige light, I saw that there were already four people sitting in the store, and when I came in and sat down, one of the shirtless men got up and greeted me: "What are you going to eat?" ”

"What's there?"

"Coarse noodles, thin noodles, wide noodles, covered noodles, pork, beef, chicken offal, how many taels?"

"A bowl of beef lasaguine, 2 taels."

"Do you want to add sea pepper?"

"Generally."

The owner of the noodle shop with a northern accent said, "Okay! I will be given the following when I turn around.

As soon as the noodles go down, the aroma of the noodle soup is even more filling.

The address given to me by Xiaoli is not very detailed, but fortunately this red brick building is more conspicuous, otherwise I really can't find it.

After a while, the noodles were served, and the boss said "slow use" and sat down at an empty table and played with his mobile phone.

The red soup is spicy and oily, and the noodles are spicy and fragrant when they are steamed.

I was already a little hungry, but after a few bites, I had a great appetite, and I added sea pepper, which was even more spicy, and after a while I was sweating...... Originally, I felt a little chilly on my body, but now I feel a lot more comfortable when I sweat, and I guess my fever and cold have also improved.

But halfway through the meal, I noticed that the people in this noodle restaurant, from the owner to the customers, were peeking at me one by one, and if I met the eyes, they would smile at me, which made me strangely tight.

But following their gaze, I was happy first.

It turned out that the entire arm of my left hand was densely written with a ballpoint pen, and under this light, it may have been mistaken for some kind of strange tattoo, which also explains why they looked at me quietly and smiled at me - Nima is thinking of me as a big brother in society, right?

I was full of strange things that happened today, but I really didn't expect this stubble - in addition to my left arm, as well as my chest and stomach, it was also full of words, which were all left for the purpose of talking to Li Jianguo's phantom.

After eating the noodles in one go, I asked the price but it was only 7 yuan, which was cheap and good.

I praised the boss's craftsmanship a few times, then borrowed the faucet behind his storefront, and after using the soap, finally washed the ballpoint pen handwriting off my arm, and as for the body, I had to go home and deal with it.

Back in the noodle shop, the boss was surprised: "Hey, you have a ...... on your arm." Why is it gone? ”

I explained to him that it was written on my arm with a ballpoint pen while I was napping, and it was not a tattoo.

Several people in the store laughed.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, I talked to them a few words, and I also came up with some information.

Xiaoli and her boyfriend did live in the red brick building in front of them, because the pastry owner and several diners knew Xiaoli's boyfriend.

"Oh, you said that lame little Zhang. It's a pity that the young man who looks very good has a broken leg......" one diner put down his chopsticks and wiped his oily mouth with his palm, "I live in that building with him." ”

There's such a lame guy around here, it's definitely right.

I hurriedly handed over a circle of cigarettes, expecting him to have more information to reveal, but unfortunately, although they live in the same building, when it comes to friendship, they just nod to each other when they meet in the corridor, and I don't know what else the lame Xiao Zhang's family is and what work they do.

"By the way, this Xiao Zhang often works overtime."

The diner told me that because he was working as a janitor at a nearby coal mine (in fact, he was looking after the property) and often had to watch all night, and many times he had met Xiao Zhang who did not come home until dawn.

I didn't ask any more questions, just jotted down this information.

Turning back to the car, I drove the car to a black alley that the street lights could not illuminate and parked, I was also a detective in the middle of the day, the car SLR camera, high-powered binoculars, infrared night vision devices and other surveillance supplies are readily available, only through the corner between the alley and the red brick building, I fully observed the situation of the red brick building.

Monitoring this work is very tiring.

You need to maintain a high degree of mental concentration for a long period of time, because the results of monitoring often lie in the sudden occurrence of emergencies, so you must not miss it.

It takes a great deal of patience to endure long periods of boredom and tedium, as well as a great deal of concentration to fight against the spirit that keeps falling out over time.

Because of my work, I went to the Jinguan City Monitoring Center, which is known as "Skynet", and the monitors there are all "women's soldiers", and they are basically married women. This is because women are naturally more attentive and patient than men, and married women are more tolerant and more comfortable with such a boring job that requires extreme care and concentration.

A guy like Li Yi, who is hot for three minutes, is determined to not be able to do this job - so just now he called, and as soon as he heard that there was another case, he excitedly asked me where I was, and I immediately refused.

Just kidding, as soon as this kid came, I didn't talk about it here, and I didn't get it right.

……

There are not many permanent residents in this neighborhood, and after 12 o'clock in the evening, there is not a single passer-by on the street for half a day.

But I still hide in the dark alleys, and I haven't let my guard down because of this, and I've learned many times that those who have ghosts in their hearts are often more sensitive and cunning than you think.

Minutes and seconds passed, and it was three o'clock in the middle of the night.

I stayed up in the middle of the night, and the two sides of my stomach had already been digested, and my stomach was gurgling for a while - but I deliberately didn't eat too much, and a moderate hunger can make me sober and improve my concentration at the same time, otherwise, I am tired and sleepy now, and I may not be able to hold it anymore.

But that's when I finally got a turnaround.

A figure descended from the red brick building.

I quickly grabbed the high-powered binoculars for a flashlight - it was a young man in a gray long-sleeved shirt and trousers, and the key thing was that he was lame!

I immediately adjusted my sitting position, and my whole body came to my senses.

I saw that the lame man lit a cigarette, walked around the open space in front of the red brick building, and then walked into a dark alley next to it, and disappeared from my field of vision at once!

Just as I was hesitating whether to chase it out, the sound of an engine roaring could be heard in the distance, and an old Wuling van drove out of the alley, and the lame man was sitting in the driver's seat.

When my Beijing jeep started, it was a little loud, and I was afraid of being detected, so I estimated that the van had gone a little farther, and then it ignited and started, hanging far behind the van.

But to my surprise, the van did not go to strange places such as the wilderness, but drove all the way in the direction of the downtown area.

That's fine, at least there are more cars on the road, and I can follow them openly.

The Wuling van did not stop all the way to the city center, and then stopped in the back alley of a building.

The lame man opened the door and got out of the car, carrying a bag of things in his hand, and I stopped the car and quietly followed.

This back alley is located behind the Bright Star Hotel, and there are more than a dozen garbage bins along the road, all of which are full, and a strong sour smell wafts into my nose along the night wind, and several stray cats bark at me twice, and after confirming that I am not here to grab food, they burrow into the garbage heap.

I hid in the shadow against the wall, and saw the target limping to the back door of the Shining Star Hotel, where a man in a black T-shirt and a peaked cap had already stood at the door, probably waiting, the two said a few words, the lame man nodded, and turned into the building.

I wanted to follow up directly, but the guy in the cap at the door was standing nearby, and he didn't look like he was going to leave.

Now, I really have no choice but to gamble.

I sprinted hard and rushed to the front door of the Shining Star Hotel in one go, and then ignored the surprised eyes of the two front desk sisters, followed the "emergency exit" signs, and rushed directly into the stairwell of the building.

If that leg hadn't gone through the fire escape and had gone into the back kitchen of the hotel, or had gone up any floor before I could catch up with him, my tracking would have been a failure.

I was anxious, but the stairwell was very quiet, and I was afraid that I would be detected if I was too much moved, so I had to tiptoe up the stairs, which was much more tiring than climbing the stairs normally, and I had to try to make as fast as possible without making a sound!

In a few moments, sweat was soaking through my clothes, and my chest was heaving violently despite my best efforts to suppress my breathing......

But suddenly, I seemed to hear footsteps—

Someone is coming down from downstairs!

And it's only two or three floors away from me at most!

I quickly hid behind the fire door in the stairwell, peeking only through the long glass window on the fire door, and at the same time I was suspicious—because the footsteps seemed heavy, but the lame man who was following me did not look like a fat man.

The answer was soon revealed.

The corridor on the floor where I was hiding was probably damaged by the sensor lights, so I had to rely on the lights on the upper and lower floors.

The heavy footsteps were getting closer, and I saw the lights on the upper floor, so I quickly took a long breath, and then held my breath.

In the dim light, a swaying figure appeared in my sight, the man was wearing a yellow rubber raincoat, it was obvious that his legs and feet were not very convenient, to my surprise, he was actually carrying a long plastic bag, through the shape of the bag was squeezed out, it seemed to contain a person!

Could it be—he came out to sin?

Is this kidnapping, or murder?!

What's more critical is - is the person in the plastic bag dead or alive?

The situation was urgent, and I was not allowed to hesitate, and when the man had just turned his back to me from the corner of the hallway, and saw that he had no weapon in his hand, I immediately opened the fire door and rushed out—

And the lights in the corridor on the upper floor also suddenly went out at this moment!

Darkness engulfed everything in an instant.

I grabbed the man's rubber raincoat with both hands and shoved him against the wall.

"Poof."

The sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

The other party shouted in pain and scolded his mother.

I was kicked and hit the stairs so hard that I almost rolled over and fell—

I dodged the next attack, unable to see in the dark, and I could only rely on my senses to pounce on it and grab it.

The lame man didn't expect to be attacked suddenly, and first ate me several heavy hands, and then began to fight back, but this guy was really strong, and when I punched him in the head, I took an elbow blow to his right chest, and almost fainted without pain!

……

After a fierce fight, he was still pressed to the ground by me!

I twisted his hands behind my back and gasped: "Say! What's in the plastic bag?! ”
