Chapter 6: The City Is Not Normal (1)
Emma thought that John might really be a little abnormal, but a voice deep inside her made her feel that she should believe him and believe everything he said.
So she stepped forward, pressed a hand to John's chest, and whispered, "I want to believe you!" ”
Although Lin Ming didn't know which words Emma believed what he said, at least he understood that this woman didn't want to hurt him. Or that they don't want to hurt the original owner of this body.
At this moment, Lin Ming followed the side window and saw an old-fashioned Chevrolet parked in the aisle downstairs. He immediately understood that the place was under police surveillance.
Lin Ming pushed Emma away and said, "I'm sorry, I think I should leave now." ”
And the policeman was obviously much more alert than Lin Ming expected. As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw a police detective in a felt hat and plainclothes pointed at him with a revolver.
This man is clearly extremely confident, and can even be said to be extremely confident in his own decisions. It's not just a few words that move him to believe his words.
However, Lin Ming has always been a confident person, so he didn't explain anything, because he knew that in this situation, any explanation would not be of much use.
The sudden thought from Lin Ming's brain directly swept the detective out, hit the opposite wall, and fainted directly.
Then Lin Ming walked over, took the revolver from this person's hand, and quickly left along the stairs of this apartment.
Emma was shaking the detective's body and whispered, "Inspector Bamsted, wake up!" ”
Lin Ming's mental power did not make the detective unconscious for long, and when he came to his senses, he immediately stood up vigilantly. only to find that there was only Emma, the woman who went to the police station to report her husband missing.
"What the hell just happened? How can it be? ”
"I don't know, since he came back and said something to me. I felt like he was becoming a strange person, and he was getting weird. ”
"No, it wasn't an illusion just now. He literally swept me away from the air. Damn, he snatched my pistol. What secrets is he still hiding? ”
"Do you think John is really a serial killer?"
"I'm really not sure now, but I have to catch him!"
Bamsted walked down the stairs, but there was no longer Lin Ming's figure. But he saw a business card on the ground. This business card fell out of his coat pocket without Lin Ming knowing when. The business card is none other than Lin Ming's personal doctor, Daniel M. P. Schreber.
The observant detective put the business card away and left the apartment.
Although Lin Ming didn't trust the guy who claimed to be a doctor, he was still ready to go secretly, at least to track and observe this guy. Find out what kind of medicine he sells in that gourd.
However, he did not intend to make direct contact with the other party, because he always felt that the doctor had a hidden danger to him.
He has a natural instinct for any danger. This intuition has nothing to do with the ability, nor does it have anything to do with the original owner of this body, this is a special telepathic ability that belongs to Lin Ming.
However, when he took a taxi to Dr. Schreber's clinic, Lin Ming saw a small souvenir from "Shell Beach" on the front of the taxi driver's car, and this souvenir was still very new, looking as if he had just bought it.
He asked, "Have you ever been to Shell Beach?" ”
The driver said naturally, "Of course I've been there, but I bought this thing from there." My wife and I both loved that place. ”
"Really? So do you know how to get to Shell Beach? ”
The taxi driver immediately replied, "Hey, that's not easy, you just need to ...... Wait, you just need to take the ...... of Main Street West Road, and you need to cross the ...... Damn, why can't I seem to remember? It's really weird, I can't remember whether I should take Main Street West Road or cross the town bridge first. ”
At this moment, a big truck was speeding towards him, and Lin Ming immediately reminded: "Hey, pay attention! ”
The taxi driver came back to his senses until the truck passed by the side and said, "It's strange, why can't I suddenly remember how I got to Shell Beach not long ago?" Could it be because you drank too much in those days? ”
Lin Ming didn't think so. After all, this is a taxi driver, how could he get the address wrong? Not to mention the fact that he had just been to that place for a short time.
But why couldn't the taxi driver remember how to get to Shell Beach? To be exact, Lin Ming couldn't think of it himself. But he didn't really care about it originally. But now that I think about it, it still makes Lin Ming feel creepy from the bottom of his heart.
However, Lin Ming was obviously a step late, and when he arrived at the location of Dr. Schreber's clinic, he saw the detective who was chasing him talking to the doctor on the steps in front of the court.
The detective is also investigating anyone who may have a relationship with him. This gave Lin Ming a feeling that he was being chased by time. He didn't think it would be a good idea to confront the city's police system head-on.
However, it was clear that Dr. Schreber did not talk to Bamstedt too much, but after a few words of conversation, he left in a hurry. It looked like he had an emergency room that needed to be dealt with immediately.
Lin Ming didn't know what the doctor and the detective had talked to, but he was sure that there must be something about him. It's just that the most important thing right now is to follow the doctor.
After all, it seems that although the inspector was knocked unconscious by himself, he did not use the power in his hands to carry out a city-wide search. That way, there's a lot of room for manipulation.
Secretly following Dr. Schreber, this guy walked with a bit of a limp. Obviously, the legs and feet are not very dexterous. But on the other hand, he seemed to be in a hurry.
Walking through a dimly lit alley sandwiched between two pitch-black high-rises, Lin Ming saw that the place Schreb had chosen was actually a public bath.
Isn't it possible to take a shower in such a hurry? This made Lin Ming feel even more weird. It can be said that whether it was reminding him that someone was coming to arrest him, or hoping that he would be able to meet him. This doctor is the weirdest and abnormal guy Lin Ming has encountered in this city.
Everyone else was living more or less according to a script that seemed to be made up, but this doctor seemed to know the deepest secrets of the city.
When Lin Ming walked into this bath, he didn't go to meet Schleber immediately, but hid in a changing room next door. Here you can see the doctor bathing in the bath.
However, he didn't look like he was taking a bath, but rather a little nervous, more like he was hiding from something.
However, at this time, a beep sounded in the bath, and the bath was about to close, so please prepare to leave. But it was clear that the doctor had no intention of leaving.
So Lin Ming didn't leave, he wanted to see what this guy was hiding. In short, this guy is mysterious and must know a lot of things.
Sure enough, a zombie-faced man in black walked in through the door, and it seemed that he and the doctor were still very acquainted. And although the doctor pretended to be surprised, it was clear that he had expected that these men in black would come to him.
I heard the man in black whisper: "It's really unfortunate that we want to come here to find you in person!" You should know how much we hate the humidity here! ”
It was clear that the doctor had a deal with those men in black, and Lin Ming had heard some kind of report from their conversation. This made Lin Ming speculate that perhaps this doctor was also employed by this group of black-clothed zombies.
But what made Lin Ming a little puzzled was why he chose to help himself, to be precise, it should be to help his original body. Could it be that they knew each other before, or were they all hired by this group of men in black?
As a result, it now seems that Lin Ming has betrayed these monsters, so these black-clothed people want to find him and kill him?
But no matter what, all this in front of him can make Lin Ming deduce such a result. It is inevitable that he has the special ability on his body, and it is obvious that other ordinary people do not have such power, except for these zombies in black.
This was Lin Ming vaguely hearing the doctor explaining loudly, "I was scared, you know I was very timid!" ”
But Lin Ming always felt that the doctor was actually deceiving this group of brain-eating worms who were not very bright-minded. Well, it's better to call them zombies in black.
Obviously, these black-clothed zombies still have a little bit of intelligence. The man in black who had come to the doctor walked around the pool and said, "We don't think it's your heart that's fragile, we found this in his hotel room!" ”
The man in black took out something that looked like a special syringe, and Lin Ming remembered that when he first woke up, he did see the thing in the hand of the man in black on the floor of the bathroom, but he didn't notice it at the time.
The man in black continued: "Are we trying to instill memories in Mr. Murdoch? ”
Schreber, who had been in the water, looked very nervous, "I tried to instill him, but he suddenly woke up and broke the syringe. I tried to stop it, but he was too fast! ”
"And then he lost his memory?" The words of the man in black made Lin Ming, who was eavesdropping, even more strange. Could it be that at that time, this guy directly became an idiot, and then he was given a dove to occupy the magpie's nest?
I heard the doctor say very hurriedly: "There are only memory fragments, because the program has been interrupted." I guess just catch him again. We've caught escapees before, haven't we? ”
In fact, Lin Ming didn't feel the slightest fragment of memory, and it was obvious that there were still some things that even this doctor hadn't expected. But Lin Ming always had a feeling that the doctor was actually explaining to himself when he said so much. He seemed to know that he was hiding nearby.
