Chapter 31: Escape Again
"Sorry, we don't have anyone else in the store besides me. Of course, if that person you're talking about is me. The shopkeeper joked.
The man took another unhurried sip.
"It's humorous, but we're not here for you. Listen, we don't want to embarrass things, but only if you're willing to cooperate with us. The man said.
However, the shopkeeper did not answer him.
"If you really don't have anything to hide, then you don't mind if we look around, right?" The man continued.
"Who are you? Police? The shopkeeper asked with a serious face.
"FBI FBI." The man said, showing his ID.
At this time, Qingyu was also hiding in the back door of the bar, eavesdropping through the door.
"Am I committing something?" The shopkeeper asked uneasily.
"Don't worry, this has nothing to do with you, we're just arresting a suspect."
When the shopkeeper heard him say this, he had to make a "please" gesture.
The man gestured to the others, and they searched the store, upstairs and downstairs.
And one of them seemed to have his eyes fixed on the shopkeeper.
"What's wrong? Do I have words on my face? The shopkeeper was overwhelmed by him.
"Sir, please excuse me." The agent wasn't actually looking at the shopkeeper, but at the inconspicuous door behind him.
The agent was about to go inside.
"Wait...... Wait a minute. ”
"What's wrong again?"
"It's just the back kitchen and lounge, and it's messy and there's nothing to see." The shopkeeper said.
"I know, I'm just checking it out." The agent ignored the shopkeeper's obstruction and continued to push the door open.
It was really just a small back kitchen, and the detective walked around it, and it seemed that there was nothing to look forward to in the back kitchen.
The agent checked around the break room again, then returned to the door.
"How? Did you find anything you were looking for? The shopkeeper asked, but he looked a little nervous.
Without saying a word, the agent slowly walked up to him, his eyes staring straight at him.
The shopkeeper appeared calm on the surface, but he felt as if a few drops of sweat were dripping from the back of his head.
The agent put his hand on his shoulder and patted him.
"Unfortunately I didn't find anything, call it a day, guys, it looks like we're going to get nothing today." The agent commanded several others.
"You should probably come up and sir, I think I seem to have made a discovery." The agent upstairs said.
"I'll come now." The agent went upstairs with that, and it wasn't long before he came down again.
I saw that he was holding a few bags of things in his hands.
"Looks like you've got something good to hide, boss." The agent said, tweaking his hands.
"But this doesn't seem to be my responsibility, and this kind of thing should be in the hands of the sheriff. So I guess you should be lucky today, let's call it a day. “
After the agent put the bags on the table, he left the bar with a few other people.
"Okay, don't hide, you can come out." The shopkeeper said to the bar door.
As soon as he finished speaking, he walked out of the rain.
"Those agents are really sloppy in their work, and since such a big living person is hiding inside, they haven't been discovered." The shopkeeper muttered.
"Thank you so much." Qingyu rolled her eyes and said.
"You're welcome. By the way, you're not Leo
Friends? The shopkeeper seemed to suddenly remember something.
"Uh...... Yes, yes, I'm his friend, but how do you know? Qingyu doesn't seem to understand the relationship yet.
"I'm also a friend of his, he's been drinking here a lot, but he looks like he's lost his soul lately, and I don't know how."
"So he's still alive, do you know where he is?" Qingyu seemed to suddenly feel hopeful.
"He's still alive, and the news isn't accurate, because they haven't even found his body. But to be honest, I really don't know where he is now. ”
"When was the last time he was at the bar? Did I say anything to you? Qingyu asked anxiously.
"Hmm...... The last time he was here was about four or five days ago. He drank all night that day and stayed until late, and he looked like he had lost his soul.
"At first, when I asked him what was wrong, he wouldn't tell me, he just kept talking to himself, and I guessed he was probably out of love, right? Alas......"
"Did he say anything to you before he left?" Qingyu is still trying to get any clues from it.
"Before you go...... If I think about it, what does he seem to say...... He's going back to where it all began. I don't really know what he meant by that sentence at the time, he was probably drunk at the time, and he couldn't even speak, maybe he meant to go to his ex? I don't know. ”
"I think you've probably given me a very important clue, thank you so much Bill, including the one you saved my life just now. By the way, how much does the wine cost? Qingyu suddenly remembered.
"Don't be so polite, Leon's friend is also my friend, this time I'll have a treat, next time you pay for it!" Bill is also very cheerful.
"I owe you a favor and I will definitely pay you back next time, then I'll go first, thank you again!" Qingyu said and walked towards the door.
"Remember to come back next time you have time!" The "Encounter" bar is open all day, and remember not to bring the FBI in next time! The shopkeeper shouted at him.
Qingyu made an OK gesture and pushed the door out.
That little experience just now was really thrilling enough, he almost let the FBI people arrest him, if this kind of thing had been placed a few weeks ago, he would never have believed it, but since Qingyu obtained superpowers, these strange things have become more and more frequent.
But it's strange to say, Jiu Qingyu has just crossed here, why was he targeted by the FBI so soon?
They must have found the wrong person, and the person they were looking for should be Leon, not themselves, although the actual person of the two is actually the same person.
Forget it, don't think about it for now, these tedious things are not the most important things at the moment, the most important thing is that he must quickly find the current "self", which is what they call Leon, "Shadow Guardian".
It's getting more and more outrageous, and I still can't accept that I'm a "Shadow Guardian", and I hope it's all just a scary joke.
