Chapter 63: Dark Shadows
As the largest city in Michigan, Detroit, which is still experiencing bankruptcy, is still the center of the world's traditional automobiles and an important port city.
On the east side of the city park, Lin Ran was dressed as a college student and ordering food at a Starbucks.
He was wearing a black baseball cap, a pair of black-rimmed glasses, a backpack and a guitar box on his shoulder.
After taking his latte and snacks from the counter, Lin Ran found a place with a good sight outside the door of Starbucks and sat down.
With his back to the river, the main road of the entire business district is in full view, and Lin Ran is drinking latte while watching everyone passing by.
"Captain, I've come to the roof of the supermarket, there's good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first."
Simon's chewing gum voice appeared in Lin Ran's headphones.
"Don't waste your time, just say the good news. I don't want to hear bad news about your shit. ”
Matthews knew Simon all too well and knew what kind of person he was.
"Oh. All right. Or the captain knows me. The environment here really smoked me to death, and I felt like I was lying in a dung pit. But the good news is that the view here is very good, and there are no obstacles. ”
Simon complained about the environment with great disgust while observing the situation in the business district with a telescope.
"Oh my God. Lin Ran, when I saw the tiramisu you are eating now, I suddenly smelled a smell of. ”
Just when Lin Ran picked up tiramisu and took a bite, Simon's words made him instantly feel like he was eating.
"I said, Brother Simon, you can't be uncomfortable yourself, and you have to pull me to be uncomfortable."
Lin Ran put down the tiramisu and picked up the latte to look at it, then put it back again, feeling that everything looked like now.
"Bachman, what's going on over there?" Captain Matthews' voice reappeared in the headphones.
It stands to reason that Bachmann and Simon set off together, and although the office building diagonally opposite the supermarket was several stories higher, it was not so long that it had not been up.
After about thirty seconds, the rough voice of this strong man from Austria came from the earphones.
"Captain, I'm in place. The damn property put away the ladder from the top floor to the rooftop. So it took me a little bit to come up. ”
Listening to Bachman's puffing and panting, Lin Ran felt as if he had climbed from the outer wall of the top floor to the rooftop.
"Just go up. What is the view from there, do you have a clear view of the residential area opposite the office building? Matthews asked.
"No problem, I can see it very clearly. I could even see a couple of young people fighting in bed, hehehe. ”
Hearing Bachman's lewd laughter, Matthews sighed, and then turned his head to ask about Chen Wen and Lin Ran.
In front of a newly opened sports store in the business district, a cartoon figure is standing on the street and performing hard to attract passers-by.
Chen Wen, who was hiding inside the doll, wriggled his clumsy body while observing everyone who passed by him.
When Matthews asked him, Chen Wen felt that he was performing for a little boy, and there was a middle-aged man with him, who seemed to be the father of the little boy.
"Boss. I applied for a change of career. I always felt like someone was poking me in the ass, but I couldn't look behind me. ”
Hearing Chen Wen's complaint, Matthews said: "You had to change with me at the beginning, but I didn't force you." If it doesn't work, you'll come back and pick up the trash, and I'll pretend to be a bear. ”
"Forget it, then. Picking up trash is not in line with my temperament. ”
As soon as Chen Wen finished speaking, he felt a tightness in his crotch, and the person instantly lost his balance and rolled on the ground.
It turned out that the child saw that Chen Wen suddenly stopped moving, thinking that he was pretending to be a dummy, so he kicked Chen Wen in the key position.
Not far away, a homeless man who was rummaging through the trash can happened to see this scene, and immediately shrunk his neck, feeling cold under his crotch, it was safer to pick up garbage.
......
As the sun set, Lin Ran had been sitting in front of Starbucks for a day, and he changed his outfit twice, ordered five cups of coffee and several snacks, and gave Matthews something to eat halfway.
Now he can be said to be full of physical strength and full of energy, even in the middle of the night, it is estimated that he will not be sleepy.
As for the other members, they are not so comfortable, especially Simon and Bachmann.
One of them was disgusted and had no appetite, and the other had no way to go downstairs at all, and was trapped on the rooftop.
The most important thing is that the two of them can see the other members of the team enjoying the food through the binoculars, which is what makes the two suffer the most.
Professor Mance briefed the team on the day.
The other teams' missions did not seem to be going well, and no trace of the two girls was found.
It seems that the more than 20 commissioners sent from the headquarters are all doing useless work, which makes Professor Mance very angry.
He now had all his hopes pinned on the two teams that had been assigned the task of waiting for the rabbit.
"Captain, I just saw a dark shadow flashing, I don't know if I'm dazzled."
Simon's voice suddenly appeared on the team's radio channel, causing the rest of the team to tense up.
"Do you see clearly? In what location? Matthews asked as he walked into a dark alley.
"One hundred and fifty meters in front of you to the right, it looks like the back door of a restaurant."
Simon picked up Barrett, which he had at hand, and looked through the high-powered scope again.
"I'm not sure what it was, but it did flash in front of my eyes, maybe I was wrong."
Hearing Simon's words, Matthews decided to go over and have a look.
After all, after so many years of partnering, Matthews still believes in Simon's judgment very much.
Lin Ran listened to the conversation between the two, calculated the distance, and found that the black shadow was far away from him, and the direction in which it disappeared was still where Chen Wen was, so he gave up the idea of reinforcements in the past.
"I also saw it, now three hundred meters in front of you to the right, you are passing towards the house on Chen Wen's side."
At this time, Bachmann's voice also sounded in the channel.
"No, he's too fast, I can't lock him at all."
"Understood, I'll go over and take a look, Chen Wen slowly approached me, and Lin Ran saw the opportunity to come over to support.
Simon and Bachmann, allow you to shoot freely, but remember not to hurt ordinary people. ”
Matthews made arrangements in a very short time and then made a quick run towards the right front.
Lin Ran drank his coffee in one gulp and prepared to go over to support.
Who knew that when he turned around to take the bag, he saw a pair of snow-white arms stretching out on the calm lake, and a woman with a cloak suddenly jumped out of the water, like a female ghost, walking towards the shore.
This frightened Lin Ran to the point that he trembled, and the bag he was carrying in his hand almost fell to the ground.
