Chapter 647: Chasing the Murderer in the Night
γYuyuan County Police Stationγ
It stands to reason that at night, only a small number of police officers will be on duty.
But the police station here is brightly lit, and all the police officers are working hard, and no one is absent...... It seems that they are more likely to rest during the day.
There is a large and eye-catching shrine in the hall of the police station.
Calls come in at night, and police officers sift through 'valuable' information and report it upwards.
One of the calls was from the pick-up station of "Bypass Express", saying that the courier had been stolen during transportation, and the total value of the lost items was about 20,000 yuan.
This kind of theft case involving a small amount of money is generally treated as a 'low-level case' and ordinary police officers take the time to make a record and deal with it as much as possible.
However, due to the cooperative relationship between Shun Express and the Yuyuan County Police Department, all couriers sent by the police station are free of charge.
With this in mind, the ordinary police officer who answered the phone still reported the incident and wrote the words 'by the way' in the remarks column, anyway, it doesn't matter if you choose not to deal with it.
Half an hour later.
Two detectives in black trench coats arrived at the pickup station, and the staff were stunned when they saw the officers in this uniform for the first time, and were about to lead them to the stolen truck.
One of them seemed to smell something, and was already standing behind one of the vans.
Reach out and feel a little sticky substance from the surface of a certain express, stick it to the nostrils and sniff it carefully.
"The taste of fish...... Octopus? Not our people here, wait a minute. β
The detective jumped into the carriage in one stride and closed the two iron doors again, before some time to come out of it and draw conclusions.
"The suspect entered the train at 17:01, and if I guessed correctly, all they stole was clothing and communication equipment, and there is a more than 90% chance that the fugitives from other places will be fugitives.
It took a long time to escape to our county, and if you don't have an ID card, you should choose an irregular hotel to live temporarily, or live directly in the Qiaodong area.
There is also a chance that you may choose to steal the supermarket or steal money.
Let the bureau immediately follow up on our findings, raise the importance level of this case to Level II, mobilize 30% of the police force and open all clearances to fully investigate.
Be sure to locate the fugitives by 5:00 tomorrow, otherwise there is a good chance that they will leave us. β
Another detective asked softly, "Do fugitives need to be verified with the nearest detention agency?" β
"No...... If those guys know, they won't tell us about the fugitives, and they will arrange for some troublesome guys to come to us, and if they don't catch them later, they will bring a lot of trouble to the county. β
β¦β¦
Late at night, urban village, small hotel, self-modified double suite.
Three hours have passed since the check-in of the 'family of three'.
Fangfang had been positioning herself all the way, and she had been in the hospital for more than a year, so she was quite tired when she finally escaped, and she had fallen asleep on William's back.
The cubicle was completely given to Xiao Fang, so that she could have a good rest, and Xiao Fang's ability and special background would be of great help to their follow-up in William's opinion.
He and Catherine remained in the main room, the plank bed was quite large but a little old, and it creaked when sitting on it or turning it over.
Catherine, who had taken a shower, was lying on the bed wearing only a loose sweatshirt, her eyes were wide open, and she quickly scraped the phone screen with her fingers.
When she first came into contact with things like 'mobile phones', she would grow an octopus tentacle from between her legs and feet to slap William, asking how to use it and what the software does, and now she is completely familiar with it.
I was recommended to download a video software called PollPoll and was fully immersed in it.
Click~ The door to the guest room is opened.
It was no one else who came in, but William, who had gone out shopping, carrying a large bag of necessary household items in his hand.
He didn't steal, but bought it back with money.
As for money, it's a good thing to collect.
Before heading to the supermarket, William found a main road with a decent flow of people, with a brand-name suit and fluent standard British English, disguised as a businessman who came to inspect the local project from abroad because his wallet was stolen and wanted to get a taxi fare, and received funding from many well-wishers.
I easily scraped together a few hundred dollars and bought a lot of useful things, mainly food.
In the hotel,
Two bowls of braised beef noodles with braised eggs were quickly soaked.
Catherine, who was watching the video, was immediately attracted to the scent she had never smelled before, and she had been stuck in the hospital with nutrient injections and had not eaten for days.
The scent of instant noodles constantly stimulated Catherine's salivary glands, and the sheets were soaked a lot.
"It's not as good as the food of the circus, but it's also a different flavor! It's so fragrant, anyway, this kind of delicacy should be very expensive, William, did you just go to rob passers-by? β
"It's not enough to rob, it's not a good thing to be too eye-catching, I bought it through serious means, hurry up and eat and sleep, and leave this county directly tomorrow morning."
Catherine muttered her noodles and said casually, "Do you need to be so vigilant?" Isn't it already a long way from the hospital? β
"When I first went upstairs, I saw that there was no one at the counter, so I crept close to the boss's apartment and peeked through the slightly open door, and guess what?
In the small room lit by red candles, the innkeeper's entire family knelt down to worship the shrine, and their whole body twitched as if it were convulsive.
Someone must be left without sleep tonight, do you sleep or do I sleep? β
"I don't sleep~ I've slept enough in that hospital, so I'll continue to play with my phone after eating this bowl of noodles! It's so much fun, I'm going to bring this thing back to the old world, and I'll never be bored again. β
"Okay, then I'll sleep~ Catherine's nerves aren't too big, remember to wake me up if there is anything abnormal."
"Sleep yours."
William slept sideways on the side of the wooden bed, hoping to take the opportunity to recharge his energy and improve the efficiency of tomorrow's actions, but he couldn't sleep as his eyelids closed.
There are so many questions in the brain,
There is a certain difference between the world that William is experiencing and the world between Yi Chen's memory, which is obviously much darker, and every house has a shrine and everyone has a dark side.
I don't know if it's because Yi Chen changed his memories before his death, or because what he experienced in front of him was just a real nightmare.
Another important point is, how can I go back? Back to the old world, back to the circus.
The only solution William could think of at the moment was for Catherine to regain her dream abilities and create a dream portal back to the old world by the same means.
But how to restore capacity is a new question.
"And the strangest thing,
Due to the failure to carry death-related abilities, Yi Chen's independent consciousness no longer exists. If I can find the statue of the god of death that Yi Chen bowed down to before his death, is it possible to reawaken the ability to die?
When you are completely familiar with this world and are not being tracked, try to go to the orphanage~ As long as you find the statue of death, you may be able to solve your doubts.
Of course, it would be equally possible to find the same Death Idol without going to the orphanage.'
William doesn't have much obsession with the 'orphanage', and his personality has been completely separated by Yi Chen.
Just as William was thinking quickly about all kinds of questions, wow!
A thunderbolt swept through the window, and the rain also beat on the window.
A cool breeze mixed with a little rain fell on his body, and William opened his eyes to find that one of the windows had been blown open, and the old lock could not be locked at all.
He got up and walked to the windowsill, and was about to reach out and pull back the window.
Looking downstairs,
In the passage of the urban village, where sewage flows and rats and insects are rampant, there are two mysterious people wrapped in black leather trench coats, which seems very inconsistent here.
Maybe it's a problem with the lighting, they can't see their faces clearly.
The most conspicuous thing was the leather shoes worn by the two men, which were at least fifty-five sizes or more, which was somewhat exaggerated.
William did not snoop more and did not continue to close the window, but stepped back away from the windowsill area to avoid being noticed.
"Catherine, prepare to withdraw! We seem to be being targeted. β
As soon as the words fell,
The sound of heavy leather shoes has sounded in the corridor, and it quickly stopped in front of the guest room.
