Chapter 49: The Stranger
It's past nine o'clock in the evening, and in a few moments we will be at ten o'clock.
Even at this time, this hot pot restaurant is still hot, and the noisy and lively conversations can make people forget the time at this moment.
The city of Luoxia is a huge machine, it will function at all times, during the day it is the life of one group of people, and at night it may be another group of people.
The place where the three of them sat was against the wall, and the two sides of the table were originally going to sit with Zhou Yong, but because he didn't reply to his message, he was quite angry at the moment, and before he could do it, he was squeezed away, so he had no choice but to sit with Shanshan.
"Ahem. How do you think about calling us something out today? ”
Wake up and speak first, ready to break the awkward atmosphere.
Zhou Yong only deliberately brushed his temper on the surface, so he answered easily while biting his chopsticks in the face of the question of awakening.
"No matter how you say it, it can be regarded as a case, although it is not a shocking case, but it spans ten years, and the size is also a knot in the hearts of the older generation of policemen, and I am very happy that the case is solved, so why don't you take a half-day vacation and invite you to have a meal to celebrate."
When it came to the case, Su Xing seemed to remember something, and hurriedly continued to ask.
"By the way, there is a bounty or almost nothing, a ten-year case, how can you have to get a hundred and eighty thousand, right?"
“……”
Zhou Yong was silent for a moment, then scratched his head and said.
"Uh...... It's really not, this case was originally characterized as missing, so there is no bounty, but if you look at it now, Brother Su, you can be regarded as helping the police solve the murder case, and the bonus and pennant must be indispensable. But this may not be a lot of money, I estimate that it is about 5,000 yuan. ”
Zhou Yong himself is not quite sure.
While enjoying the delicious food, the two chatted casually, in fact, most of the time it was Zhou Yong who was talking, occasionally following a few words.
Among them, the most talked about is Chen Xin's matter.
According to Zhou Yong, although Chen Xin's body was found, there are still many irrational things in the case.
For example, Chen Junyang's ex-wife, according to his own words, his ex-wife ran away with another man, but his account has been made by people in the name of his wife, and when he tracked the account, he found that there was no one on the other end at all.
As for Zhang Shanshan, she blinked her eyes and was a quiet bystander, and she liked to listen to such bizarre cases.
Halfway through the hot pot, Shanshan suddenly crawled into the ear of the awakened and whispered.
"Huh? What? ”
Maybe her voice was too quiet, or maybe it was too noisy, and she didn't hear anything when she woke up the first time.
Zhang Shanshan raised her voice slightly and said it again, and only then did she wake up and hear clearly.
"Oh, then there you go." As he spoke, he stood up and let the little beauty trot away with her bag.
Looking at Shanshan's back as she left, Zhou Yong asked suspiciously.
"What's the situation? It's not that we always say that the taste of murderous corpses or something is too strong, and she can't listen to it and leave first, right? ”
"It should ...... Not really, right? It's just an ordinary trip to the bathroom. ”
Su Xing replied casually.
Not long after Zhang Shanshan opened, the corner of her eyes seemed to sweep to a strangely dressed guest.
Looking sideways slightly, I saw that the man was wearing a jacket, a dark green peaked cap, and a large mask with the brim of the hat almost covering the entire face.
Wear this outfit in this weather? It's weird, isn't it?
Su Xing silently complained in his heart, but he didn't say anything, let alone divert his gaze to stare directly at others.
The man had his hands in his jacket pockets, shuttling between the tables in the store, as if searching for something.
The surroundings were still noisy, but many people's eyes were attracted by this strange person and looked over.
Some people even took out their mobile phones and began to secretly take pictures and share them with friends.
Zhou Yong, who was sitting opposite, also noticed this strange man, put down his chopsticks and followed suit.
"Brother Su, did you see it, this person is a bit weird, do you think he is the kind of hired killer, or a fugitive? Well...... No, I look more like I was caught by my wife with a hat and came out to catch the rapist. ”
Zhou Yong lowered his voice and whispered speculation, but when he woke up, he only glanced at it and did not reply.
This guy really doesn't look like a good guy, and ...... This man gave himself a very strange feeling, an illusion of déjà vu.
"Hey, I'll go up and check his ID later, I'll see what the hell is going on with this guy."
The stranger's route was indeed going this way, or in a moment he would have passed by the Awakening table.
But halfway through, the manager or manager of the store stopped the man at a trot.
"Is there something wrong with you, sir?"
At first glance, this strange man knew that he was not here to eat, but to make trouble.
"Find someone."
The man's voice was low and hoarse, and although he was still some distance away, his voice could reach this side just right.
The manager scanned the surroundings with an embarrassed smile before asking again.
"Did you find it?"
The man stretched out his right hand in his pocket and pressed the brim of his hat even lower.
He followed his gaze and looked around, and finally froze at the Awakening table.
Su Xing looked over curiously, while Zhou Yong half-raised his chin, with an attitude that you will come over to find something to try.
I must have seen this man somewhere. Who the hell is he......
Su Xing muttered in his heart, and his brows furrowed slightly.
Get...... This guy is coming for me, right? I wondered, I don't have any enemies, huh?
Su Xing was ready for a conflict, but the man who came over only paused for a moment, and only replied slowly under the repeated calls of the manager.
"Nope."
With that, the strange man turned around and walked away almost without any pause, until he left the door and disappeared.
The man only said four words from beginning to end, "find someone" and "no".
The man's voice was hoarse, and deliberately low.
If you heard it right, there seems to be a little bit of trill.
Sadness? Fear? Or anger? Or is it extreme excitement?
The man tried hard to hide his emotions, so he spared words like gold, and deliberately lowered his voice.
Su Xing's mind kept recalling the tone of the man's voice just now, and trying to find someone to match it in his memory.
It obviously feels familiar, why can't I turn it over in my head?
According to my memory ability, as long as I have seen it, it is impossible not to remember it.
Could it be ...... Instant visual sense?
