It is now around nine o'clock in the evening, and it will be the ten o'clock mark in a little while.
Even at this time, this hot pot restaurant is still hot, and the busy and lively conversation can make people forget the time at this moment.
Luoxia City is a huge machine that operates at any time. During the day, it is the life of one group of people, and at night, it may be the life of another group of people.
The place where Su Xing and the three of them were sitting was against the wall. On both sides of the table, Su Xing originally planned to sit with Zhou Yong, but because he didn't reply to his message, he was very resentful at the moment and was pushed away before he could continue. , but had no choice but to sit aside with Shanshan.
"Ahem. Why did you think of asking us to come up with something today?"
Su Xing spoke up first, ready to break the awkward atmosphere.
Zhou Yong only pretended to be angry on purpose, so when faced with Su Xing's question, he bit his chopsticks and answered easily.
"In any case, the case is solved. Although it is not a shocking case, it spans ten years. It is also a knot in the hearts of the older generation of policemen. Moreover, I am very happy that the case has been solved. I can't take half a day off. You should have a meal to celebrate."
When the case was mentioned, Su Xing seemed to remember something and quickly continued to ask.
"By the way, there is a reward, or there will be no reward. It's a ten-year case. No matter what, you have to get a reward of 100,000 or 80,000 yuan, right?"
"..."
Zhou Yong was silent for a moment, then scratched his head and said.
"Well... not really. This case was originally classified as a missing person, so there was no reward. But looking at it now, Brother Su, you can be regarded as helping the police solve the murder case. The reward and the banner are definitely indispensable. . But the money may not be much, I estimate it is about five thousand yuan."
Zhou Yong himself was not sure.
The two of them chatted while enjoying the delicious food. In fact, Zhou Yong was talking most of the time, and occasionally he added a few words.
The most talked about thing is Chen Xin's incident.
According to Zhou Yong, although Chen Xin's body was found, there were still many unreasonable things in the case.
For example, Chen Junyang’s ex-wife, according to what he said, ran away with another man, but someone kept transferring money to his account in the name of his wife. When he traced the account, he found that the other end was nowhere to be found. people.
As for Zhang Shanshan, she blinked her big eyes and remained a quiet bystander. She loved hearing about such bizarre cases.
Halfway through the hot pot meal, Shanshan suddenly crawled up to Su Xing and whispered in Su Xing's ear.
"Huh? What?"
Maybe her voice was too soft, or maybe the surroundings were too noisy, so I woke up and couldn't hear anything clearly the first time.
Zhang Shanshan slightly raised her voice and spoke again, and Su Xing finally heard it clearly.
"Oh, then go ahead." He stood up and let the little beauty trot away with her small bag.
Looking at Shanshan's leaving figure, Zhou Yong asked in confusion.
"What's going on? We keep saying that murderous corpses are too strong for taste, so she can't stand it and leaves first, right?"
"It shouldn't be... right? It's just an ordinary trip to the bathroom."
Su Xing replied casually.
Not long after Zhang Shanshan and I left, Su Xing seemed to catch a strangely dressed guest from the corner of his eye.
Looking sideways for a moment, I saw that the man was wearing a jacket and a dark green peaked cap. A large mask matched with the brim of the hat almost covered his entire face.
Wearing this outfit in this weather? How strange.
Su Xing complained silently in his heart, but he didn't say anything, nor did he change his gaze to stare directly at the person.
The man had his hands in his coat pockets and was walking between the tables in the store, seemingly looking for something.
The surroundings were still noisy, but many people's eyes were attracted to this weird man and they looked over.
Some people even took out their mobile phones and secretly took photos and shared them on their WeChat Moments.
Zhou Yong, who was sitting opposite, also noticed this weirdo, put down his chopsticks and looked over.
"Brother Su, have you seen that this man is a bit strange? Do you think he is a hired killer or a fugitive? Hmm... No, I look more like he was tricked by his wife and came out to catch her. of."
Zhou Yong lowered his voice and speculated in a low voice, but Su Xing only glanced at him without replying.
This guy really doesn't look like a good person, and... this guy gives me a very strange feeling, an illusion of déjà vu.
"Hey, when he comes over later, I'll go up and check his ID card. I want to see what's going on with this guy."
The weirdo's route is indeed heading this way, or he will happen to pass by the waking table in a short while.
But halfway through, the manager or manager of the store trotted all the way and stopped the person first.
"What's the matter with you, sir?"
At first glance, it was obvious that this weirdo was not here to eat, but instead seemed to be here to cause trouble.
"Find someone."
The man's voice was low and hoarse. Although he was still some distance away, his voice could be heard just right.
The manager looked around with an awkward smile, and then asked again.
"Then did you find it?"
The man stretched out his right hand from his pocket and lowered the brim of his hat.
He also looked around and finally settled on the table of Su Xing.
Su Xing tilted his head and looked over curiously, while Zhou Yong raised his chin half-way, with an attitude of just come over and try to find something if you have the guts.
I must have seen this man somewhere. Who is he anyway...
Su Xing murmured in his heart and frowned slightly.
Looking for someone... Could this guy be looking for me? I thought to myself, I don’t have any enemies, right?
Su Xing was already prepared for a conflict later, but the man who looked over just paused for a moment, and after the manager's repeated calls, he replied slowly.
"No."
After saying this, the weirdo turned around and left without stopping, until he left the door and disappeared.
The man only said four words from beginning to end, "Looking for someone" and "Nothing".
The man's voice was hoarse and deliberately lowered.
If I heard it right, there seems to be a little vibrato.
sad? fear? Or angry? Or extreme excitement?
That person was trying hard to hide his emotions, so he cherished his words like gold and deliberately lowered his voice.
Su Xing kept thinking about the tone of the man's voice just now in his mind, and tried to find someone who matched it in his memory.
It obviously feels like déjà vu, but why can’t it be found in my mind?
According to my own memory ability, as long as I have seen it, it is impossible not to remember it.
Could it be... a sense of instant vision?
