Chapter 2 Daughters
The dazzling red color reflected Xia Long's eyes, and his heart beat violently, but before he could take a closer look at what was going on inside, the scene was completely sealed off.
At this time, the phone suddenly rang to break the silence in the car, and even the noise outside the car was suppressed.
Xia Long retracted his gaze from the scene of the accident and answered the phone easily.
"Hey."
"Dad, will you come over?" Maimi bit her lower lip and said, "If you really can't do it......"
Xia Long gathered his thoughts and responded with a smile: "Well, it's already on the way." ”
"Is there something going on over there? There seems to be a siren......"
"It's nothing, it's just a car accident, I'll be there in a minute."
Hanging up the phone, Xia Long took one last look at the blockade and continued to drive away from the scene.
Kobe Hotels.
As a well-known five-star hotel, the building is built on the bayside, and has become an important symbol of Kobe City, with its beautiful surroundings, excellent service, and especially unique cuisine.
When Xia Long drove over, the man had already booked a good location in the high-rise restaurant, not to mention anything else, at least the family background was not bad.
"Dad!" The stage artist had been paying attention to the outside of the restaurant, and when she saw Xia Long arrive, she hurriedly waved hello.
As his daughter, the stage is not too beautiful, but it is very attractive, and she can always see the shadow of her mother......
Xia Long looked at his daughter standing up by the floor-to-ceiling window, slightly stunned, and his eyes fell on a young man and a couple with a calm temperament on the side.
"Hello."
Xia Long didn't think too much, and got acquainted with the group peacefully.
"First Meeting......
While Xia Long was observing each other, Yongji's parents on the opposite side were also looking at Xia Long.
Although I don't care much about the right person, it is still necessary to understand the family members who have girlfriends with their sons.
The information I learned temporarily was that the father raised his daughter alone, and even the mother didn't know who it was, which was always a pimple in my heart.
However, at least the first impression of Xia Long is okay, although he is just an old man in the special effects crew, on the surface, he is quite honest and graceful, and he even has a temperament that does not match his identity, and he doesn't seem to be very unfamiliar with such a high-end restaurant.
Glancing at each other, the couple also made contact with Natsuryu peacefully, while Maimi and Yuji sat quietly on the side.
During the conversation, Xia Long gradually learned about the man's situation, and unexpectedly, Yuji turned out to be the future heir of this Kobe hotel.
Xia Long looked at his daughter with her head bowed on the side, her eyes slightly dimmed.
He is used to fighting, he is still very uncomfortable with being a father, although he has been trying his best to be like an ordinary father over the years, but in the end it is still a lot worse than the average family, and his daughter has been very stiff with him because of her mother's affairs.
Anyway, he still owes his daughter too much, and maybe it's better to have a complete family in the future.
After a while, after finishing the Western food, Yongji's parents knocked on the side and said, "Mr. Zhenxia has been alone all these years, and I don't know the ...... of the mother of the stage beauty."
Xia Long came back to his senses, saw that everyone's eyes were looking at him, and said with a dry smile and a hint of sadness: "Maimei has left when she was born. ”
The topic did not continue, and finally turned to the engagement of the two stage artists, and for the time being, both parties were relatively satisfied, and everything went well, and the wedding date will be set for next year.
……
On the other side, at the same time as Xia Long's family meeting, the police were already busy.
"Haven't you investigated it yet? It's already the second one. ”
"The autopsy report of the deceased has come out, and it seems that something is wrong."
Inside the police station, two detectives of the investigation team hurried past the copywriting room, and one of the older ones took photos of the accident scene to look back and forth.
"Something went wrong?" The older officer wondered, "What's the problem?" ”
"It doesn't seem like any homicide," said another young police officer, "the wound is as if something has penetrated into it, and besides, the victim's brain seems to have been sucked out, could it be some kind of monster?" ”
"Fool, what kind of monster came from!"
The officer glared, put away the information, and said, "Someone must have done it, come with me to the scene again." ”
"Huh? Still going? ”
The police officer followed the hurried officer with a bitter expression: "Mr. Sugida, someone reported hearing some strange sounds last night, and it was said on TV that there was a mysterious light near the moon, and there was indeed a monster, right?" ”
"Shut up, I've been told you to watch less TV a long time ago."
The elderly police officer got into the car wearing a windbreaker, and after his subordinates sat in the co-pilot, he immediately started the car and said: "Before the specific situation is investigated, don't talk nonsense, the prisoner may commit another crime, and it will be troublesome if it causes panic." ”
"Yes!"
The young police officer replied seriously, and couldn't help but say, "Mr. Sugida, I heard that there is a new tokusatsu hero Ultraman Kallio this time, so I really want to go to the press conference." ”
"Then hurry up and investigate the case clearly."
The older officer smiled helplessly at the subordinate who was still like a child, and his expression quickly sank because he thought of the strange case.
"I'll check it out later, maybe there will be other witnesses."
The car drove all the way out of the underground parking lot, completely oblivious to a pair of red eyes in a dark corner.
"Kallio ......"
With a faint mutter, his eyes flashed bloodshot, and a police officer slowly walked out of the corner with an expressionless face, and after twisting his neck, the red light in his eyes automatically disappeared.
……
Outside the Kobe Hotel, after the family meeting, Yuji left with his parents because he had something to do, leaving Xia Long's father and daughter behind.
Over the years, since their daughter grew up, the two have rarely been alone face-to-face, and they seem a little rusty.
"When did you meet?" Xia Long opened his mouth and took the initiative to break the silence.
"When I was in college," Maimi said as she stood unnaturally next to her, pinching her fingers, "he was my classmate." ”
"That's right."
After just exchanging a sentence, the atmosphere was still a little stiff, and the two of them didn't know how to communicate, so they became cold all of a sudden.
After being silent for a while, Xia Long turned his gaze to the outside of the hotel and said, "Recently, are you okay?" ”
"Hmm."
Mai Mei nodded slightly, pursed her lips and looked at Xia Long, who was strained in her face, and also looked away and said, "I should go, I still have to work today." ”
"I'll send you," Xia Long began, "just going to the set." ”
The stage beauty pinched her fingers tighter, secretly glanced at Xia Long's back, and finally followed the footsteps.
"Are you still working on that special effects crew?" In the car, the stage artist suddenly said with her fingers open.
"Well, after all, I'm used to it," Xia Long said with a rare smile, "I'm also filming new heroes this time......"
Maimi sat quietly on the sidelines, recalling the happy times she spent with Xia Long and Ultra Heroes when she was a child, and before she knew it, she was at her own company.
Silently getting out of the car, Maimei paused, hesitated for a moment and turned back: "Is what you said true?" ”
"Huh?"
"Mom left ...... when I was born," Maimi said, standing on the side of the road, looking directly at Xia Long, "You never told me. ”
