Chapter Seventy-Three: Investigation

As we approach the end of the year, the company is busy, but it is also full of atmosphere to welcome the new year. Everywhere is decorated with colorful balloons, streamers, snowflakes and, of course, two-story plastic pine trees hung with colorful lights.

Gao Qian stood in front of the glass railing on the second floor, looking faintly at the golden star that adorned the tree tips in front of him. The small orange lamp beads are densely dotted with green branches and leaves underneath, like a golden raindrop.

Zhang Wu walked up to him with her coat and looked at the star with him: "It's so beautiful." It is said that each lantern represents an angel, and if you see that there are so many angels, the world must be well guarded. ”

Gao Qian snorted lightly: "Guardian? Why didn't I realize it? What is the biggest one on it? The head of the angels?"

Zhang Wu smiled: "You are so funny, but, who knows, you can also say that." ”

"In that case, what are those broken lamp beads?" Gao Qian pointed to a few of the lamp beads that had been blacked out.

"Hmm...... Maybe it's fallen angels? In mythology, angels can also become bad and fall into the devil's way. Zhang Wu forcibly followed Gao Qian's logic and explained, "What do you think?"

"I think," Gao Qian smiled faintly, "I think the first guy to move a tree into the house is really a genius, it's really a good thing to hang lanterns." ”

"High dive, you're really bad. Zhang Wu was amused by Gao Qian, "By the way, are you really not coming tonight?"

"No, I made an appointment. Gao Qian turned his head and saw Shang Ke also wearing a coat while walking out of the glass door of the big office, "Can Shang Ke go?"

"No, the most boring thing is him, it is said that a new game is on sale today. Zhang Wu complained, "Even the beauties can't please move you, it's really hopeless." I won't tell you, I'm in a hurry. Zhang Wu glanced at Shang Ke, who was approaching, and turned around and went downstairs.

Shang Ke looked at Zhang Wu's back inexplicably: "Menopause?"

Gao Qian smiled lightly: "You really don't go? Maybe there are really beautiful women?"

Shang Ke took out his sunglasses and put them on: "It's all pink skeletons, I'd rather go home and kill zombies." ”

"Hey, that's not how handsome you play, it's dark outside, you're wearing sunglasses, aren't you afraid of wrestling?"

"Talented. Shang Ke waved his hand away without looking back.

Gao Qian looked at Shang Ke's back amusedly. Isn't this guy a little too obsessed with playing games lately? And what kind of face are the sunglasses the appearance of the main character in the game?

At this time, through the glass curtain wall of the lobby, he saw a red private car parked on the side of the road in the driveway outside. The smile on Gao Qian's face faded, he patted his computer bag, and walked briskly.

A few minutes later,

The high diver had already taken the red Chevrolet into the busy traffic.

"Eat something first, the road will be a little blocked, and there will probably be no time for you to stop and eat. Sherlock took advantage of the red light to grab a paper bag from the back seat and handed it to the high diver.

Gao Qian opened it and saw that the paper bag contained two double-layered pork chop burgers, which were still steaming.

"That's the grade of your working meal, it's better than a chicken leg lunch. Gao Qian took a big bite of the fragrant hamburger and took a sip of cold Coke.

"Make do with it, if this case is solved, I will treat you to French food. Sherlock chuckled and glanced at the high dive.

"Where is this going?" "Where is this going?" said the high dive as he nibbled on a burger as he noticed Sherlock turning into the highway out of town, "What do you mean by haunted house?"

Sherlock turned his head to look at the high dive and smiled:

"Let's start with your two cases, the car accident in front of the Night Raven Bar and the death of a barbecue stall in the night market, I found a common denominator. ”

"What is it?"

"Night Raven Bar, both deceased had gone to Night Raven Bar the day before the accident. ”

"So you're investigating the Night Raven Bar?"

"Of course. ”

"What did you find?"

"Unfortunately, no. ”

Gao Qian was a little disappointed, he paused for a moment, and then said, "When you investigated, did you go to the second floor?"

"Of course I went, it was a weird place, with red curtains everywhere. ”

"And then?"

"What? There's nothing up there, just empty rooms. According to their waiters, the empty rooms above the bar are mainly for VIP guests who want to talk something intimate. And there are indeed only some tables and chairs in the room, and the taste of the decoration is a little weird, but the taste of the rich is relatively different, and it is not a big deal. ”

Gao Qian asked a little unwillingly, "Have you met the owner of the Night Raven Bar?"

"I saw an old man in his forties, who looked ordinary, unmarried, had no children, had an innocent background, and had no criminal record. ”

High Diving instinctively felt that the person who gave him the black gold card was the real owner of the Night Raven Bar, and that the old man in Sherlock's mouth was just a puppet.

Also, if that person really came from the divine realm, how could he be held by a human like Sherlock.

High Diver silently finished his burger, during which Sherlock peeked at him several times.

"What else did you investigate?" said the high dive cleaned himself up with a paper towel, stuffed all the trash into a paper bag, rolled it up, and threw it in the back seat.

"We also found out that both men had bought a very expensive potion at the Night Raven Bar. ”

"Three-eyed?"

"You know?"

"I've only heard the name once. ”

"Well, this is a new type of hallucinogen, and it is said that after drinking it, there is a chance that people will see their own future, but at the moment, only a very small number of people will see the so-called future. In addition, there is a legend about the coming of the end that is circulating in circles. ”

"Do you think their deaths have anything to do with the Three-Eyed Hallucinogen?"

"Yes, the potion can cause a mental breakdown, but it seems that only people who see the end of the world will die unexpectedly. In the case of the city, as of yesterday there have been five cases of accidental deaths due to the apocalypse of the world after taking a three-eye hallucinogen. ”

"But why?" Gao Qian said confusedly, "Why do you only die unexpectedly when you see the end of the world, and what about the other people who take the Three-Eyed Hallucinogen?"

"Three-eye hallucinogens only have a certain chance of hallucinations, but they are not 100% hallucinating. Some people do claim to see their future, and some see the end of the world. At the moment, the potion has a 10 percent chance of hallucinating and a 1 percent chance of seeing the end of the world. Hell, it's selling so well with such poor quality. Sherlock said in a tone of incomprehension, "Do you know how much a hallucinogen sells for?"

"Five thousand?"

"Huh, how do you know so well?"

"Guess. Gao Qian didn't want to mention that he was once used as a pill dealer, "You said to go to the haunted house because the haunted house is a den for the manufacture of this hallucinogen?"

"Hey, High Diver, I really like you, would you really like to consider joining us?" Sherlock smiled and reached out to pat High Diver on the shoulder.

Gao Qian hurriedly shouted: "Be careful," he hurriedly pulled the steering wheel and let go of a white BMW that forcibly changed lanes and didn't enter the lane, "Please, miss, you are on the highway now, please drive wholeheartedly, okay?"

"This bastard, he's dead. Sherlock pressed a few times on the rearview mirror in front of him, "What I hate the most is this kind of bastard who forcibly changes his line, you see, he won't want to be on the road for at least two months." ”

Gao Qian estimated that Sherlock used some instrument to take a picture of the license plate of the car in front of him, and planned to go through the internal procedure to make the car unlucky.

Gao Qian mourned for the white BMW in front of him, hoping that the driver of the car could remember this lesson, and next time he didn't want someone else's car, he would also pick a good bully.
