Chapter 113: 5-2 The Man Who Disappeared Before His Eyes
Da Xuan stared at the letter paper in front of him, and then picked up the small envelope with the same pattern, "This pattern...... I've seen it there. ”
Xiao Zhe swallowed his saliva, leaned over his head and looked, there was a faint print on the dark red letterhead, repeating this quaint pattern, Xiao Zhe looked at it a few more times, and was not impressed.
Da Xuan took out his smartphone and took a picture of the envelope and stationery, and then handed it to Xiaozhe, "Don't be stunned and think nonsense, check the fingerprints on this, and what I just told you to find out what cases Coco has been working on recently, and list the names of the people involved in them to me in a table." ”
Although Su Xiaozhe was still a little frightened, he nodded seriously.
Da Xuan turned around and walked towards the door, and Xiao Zhe shouted behind him, "Team Zhou...... Sister Xun won't ......"
"It's going to be fine!" Da Xuan's fist clenched and loosened, this promise, I don't know who to say.
――――――――――――
"Yes...... Correct...... Don't believe it...... Don't believe ......"
Suddenly opened his eyes, his breathing in horror, and the dim ceiling slowly overlapped into a clear outline by several phantoms in his vision.
It's a dream, Coco meditates to herself, and hears her sister's voice, it's just a dream, well, it's so dark, where am I ......! Yes! Coffin! I'm not in the coffin!?
Slowly propping up his upper body, Xun Keran found himself lying on a flat bed in the basement, and as far as the eye could see, a huge coffin was prominently placed on one side of the bed, and in the dim light, the coffin could be seen faintly flower-like lines.
Not...... I wanted to sit up but felt that my limbs didn't obey me, and after several failed efforts, Coco lay on her back on the bed decadently, even if she raised her hands above her head, it seemed as if it had taken three lifetimes of strength. Coco sighed helplessly, "Hmm...... I hate the basement ......" would bring back bad memories of her equally dimly lit basements, those human heads in glass bottles.
"I'm sorry about that!" The man's voice made Coco slightly startled, only to find that there was a person sitting in the dim corner, he hid himself in the corner where the light was out of reach, and then slowly got up and walked towards Coco step by step.
"Alas...... Just guessed it was you. Coco turned to face the man, "When I met you, I had a sense of foreboding. ”
"Giggle...... "The man chuckled under his breath as he walked over to Coco, who was unable to move, "I really like your frankness more and more, my princess. ”
Coco smiled hypocritically in return, and then rewarded him with a roll of the eyes, "Li Yiji, what is your identity as a consultant of the Archaeological Research Institute?" I'm afraid it's all fake, right? ”
Li Yiji dragged the chair in the corner to the edge of the bed frame and sat next to Coco, still with that mysterious smile, which looked very unbeaten in Coco's eyes at this time.
"I thought you were going to blast a string of foul words at me, but it seems to be calmer than I thought." Li Yiji pushed the glasses on the wing of his nose. "First of all, I don't deny it, I have something to hide from you, but the title of consultant is real, since the founding of New China, archaeology and people like us have cooperated with each other more than once or twice."
"Grave robbers." A flash of inspiration crossed Coco's mind.
Li Yiji shrugged, "And it's a generational inheritance," he smiled noncommittally, "Don't work hard secretly, Xun Keran, at most there is an hour or two, and your body's metabolic function will dilute the effect of anesthetics, what I need is this hour, let me explain." ”
Coco rolled her eyes at the ceiling and explained that you are a big-headed ghost, wait until you recover and see how Lao Tzu dismantles you to pieces!
"First of all, I want you to understand that I, Li Yiji, have no intention of harming you."
"You put me in a coffin for transport!"
"That's right, but the coffin has undergone a special transformation, you can't see it from the outside, you should know if you've stayed inside, the four corners are ventilated, there is no danger in staying inside except for being a little dark, and the whole process of transportation is handled with care, and I have never left it half a step. And, you thought it was just a coffin? Li Yiji pointed to the huge coffin on the other side of the bed and said, "That's the carved gold coffin of the princess of the Han Dynasty, the inside and outside are made of high-quality cypress, and the negotiated price for the last exhibition in the United States was three million a month." ”
Listening to his tone with a tone of "lying in it is your appreciation", Coco couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, "Yo~ I'm sorry, I'm clumsy, I don't see the difference between this guy and our freezer, Ao~ That's right!" She's not like a freezer that keeps it fresh! Hmph~" Coco turned her head to the side angrily.
"Haha, okay, it's me who said the wrong thing, and it's the honor of carving a golden coffin to smuggle through you." Li Yiji looked at Coco's awkward expression like looking at a naughty niece, and then turned serious, "Little friend, let me explain it to you like this, I need a person, a woman, the yin qi of the eight characters at birth is very heavy, but there is always an invisible aura in her life to protect her, and she can turn evil into good fortune every time, I have been investigating you for more than half a year, and I have become more and more convinced that you are very suitable for my needs in the past six months......"
"Stop!" Coco interrupted him, "Are you sure you don't need to see a psychiatrist?" ”
Li Yiji's eyes narrowed slightly behind the lenses, "I'm not kidding," he said, "every sentence is a sane and sober truth, I can tell some boundless lies or tell you nothing, but I think you need to know why I kidnapped you." ”
Coco turned his head to look at the person in front of him, his gentle appearance, and his eyes looked like an abyss after taking off his glasses.
Li Yiji sat on the chair and half-bent over, and said softly and calmly to Coco: "I want to take you into another world." ”
―――――――――――――
Da Xuan sat alone in the driver's seat, turned off all the lights, and closed himself in this small space, and the colorful car shadow on the road outside the car flew by, as if he was not in a parallel world with himself.
He knew that he was almost out of control in the bar, and he grabbed the bartender, who claimed to know nothing, and put a gun to his neck, asking him what he might not really know. He also knew why no one accompanied him to the bar to investigate today, Bai Ling and they had a reason to say that they were investigating in other directions, but in fact, no one dared to approach him at this time.
On the surveillance of the bar, Coco did enter the bar alone the night before, but there was no picture of her leaving, Da Xuan held his forehead, recalling that night, Coco felt the expressionless face when he took out the gun and aimed at him, he had seen her angry, he had seen her smile, he had seen her in a daze, he had seen her all kinds of confusion when she woke up, he remembered, but never saw that moment, as if what was in front of him was not me Zhou Daxuan, but a wall, a stone, or nothing.
Then he and Guji sat in the car outside Coco's house and watched for a while, Guji also persuaded him, Coco's heart is too heavy, so many years, I'm afraid she has never confided her hatred in her heart to anyone, you don't do too much but do bad things. What were you thinking at the time? I thought about rushing in and locking her up and training her, and I thought about finding the channel where she bought the gun first, and cutting off this route of selling black guns with a knife, before others found out that Coco bought black guns. While they were still thinking, they saw Coco walk out of the downstairs alone, riding his pale pink motorcycle, all the way to the door of the bar where Da Xuan had never been, and just walked straight in.
Never again.
Xun Keran, were you taken away, or did you know that I was following you, so you wrote and directed a letter and hid?
Did you know you're a bastard? Everybody's worried, you're such a selfish little bastard, do you know......
Da Xuan felt that his eyes were very sore and painful, the constantly flashing neon lights outside the car window, the slightly cool air, and everything at his fingertips made him feel uncomfortable, and he emphasized to himself over and over again, Coco, you give me a good life and wait for me to clean you up, wait for me......
The mobile phone in his pocket was vibrating, and he opened it and saw the caller ID, "Old Man Chang".
"Da Xuan, Xiaozhe called me and said that yesterday you received a letter related to Coco's disappearance?" The old man is straight to the point and never ambiguous.
"Yes, a white envelope is covered with another red envelope, and the red one says I am the recipient, and the paper has a special pattern."
"Pattern? What does it look like? ”
"Didn't Su Xiaozhe show you?"
"The fingerprints were taken in the Physical Evidence Section, and now I can't take them out for a while." The old man sounded a little anxious.
"Do you have a smartphone? I took a photo and sent it to you directly by SMS? ”
"No, I'm not going to use that, where are you? Just come and ...... Oh, yes, yes! The old woman said, you must not have had dinner, come and eat! ”
Da Xuan wanted to excuse himself and say that he had eaten, but he thought that he was not pretending to be polite at this time, "Okay, I'll be there immediately." He said.
――――――――――――――――――――――
Da Xuan's mouth was stuffed with food, gobbling it up, and Mrs. Chang was distressed when she watched from the side, "Ah, Xiao Zhou, you eat slowly, didn't you eat lunch either?" ”
Old Man Chang stared at the photos on his phone silently.
Da Xuan chewed the food in his mouth, but his eyes were fixed on Old Man Chang's expression.
The old man silently put down his phone, got up and went into the house.
Da Xuan hurriedly put down the bowl and wanted to chase after him to ask what was going on, but was stopped by Mrs. Chang, "No matter what, eat well first, you sit down for me!" Hear me! ”
Da Xuan looked at Mrs. Chang's stern expression, blinked, sat back in his seat, and finished the meal honestly.
After a few minutes, the old man walked back to the dining room, holding a letter in his hand, which made Da Xuan stunned.
The old man put the envelope in his hand on the table, the dark red pattern, the same as the photo in the mobile phone on the side, but it looked a little old, and the old man replied without waiting for Da Xuan to ask, "This letter was received by me more than ten years ago, from an unusual friend, you may not have seen it, but Xiao Xun has seen her, do you remember the headless female corpse case a few months ago, the red lacquered wooden box that Xiao Xun got back from Hualong Funeral Home, containing a woman's head?" The person who gave her the box was the one who gave me this letter, and his name was Weiwei. ”
