Chapter 236: Tracking the inexplicable fear...
In the bustling night market, delicious fish balls are still being sold non-stop, and this booming business has attracted the attention of many people around.
When this family of three suddenly appeared in this area, everyone in the neighborhood knew where they came from after just a few words from the neighbors.
We know that they fled here to live with their relatives because they couldn't make money or survive in their hometown. This kind of thing is not uncommon in Hong Kong.
Over the years, they have seen countless poor relatives who came to seek refuge with their relatives and friends.
Some people look down on these people, but in front of these fragrant fish balls, some excessive words can be controlled a little.
So the fish ball business became very popular, and after a while, those who came to collect protection fees all knew this family.
Unfortunately, no information related to that cult has been released.
The case cannot be closed for the time being.
In fact, it is common for these police officers to be unable to solve the case temporarily.
Fortunately, everyone was mentally prepared, and the occasional complaints were resolved by Ji Mingcheng's occasional feeding.
What they look forward to most is the weekend, because every time they get double the food.
It was so cool.
Deng Xingwang and Ren Wu were also annoyed by the other side's good hiding, so they would go to Hong Kong every weekend to support their brother team in solving the case.
Of course, it would be an extra bonus to have some fun in Hong Kong and experience the prosperity here.
This kind of days lasted for two weeks. They rushed over after get off work on Friday and saw the happy faces of the brothers they had become familiar with in the past half month.
They immediately had some guesses.
"Is there good news?"
They asked anxiously.
Liang Jiahao snapped his fingers. "Bingo, you're right."
Others also started chattering.
"That family of three has successfully integrated here, and someone has even tipped them off to a very effective method, even encouraging them to burn their daughter to death. We estimate they'll have some contact in the next couple of days."
"Good news—"
King Deng Xing and his men excitedly bumped fists with him, they were so excited.
Qiu Jiang couldn't hide her joy either.
However, the night leading to dawn is always long. They waited from that day until Sunday morning before finally receiving the message from the vendor's informant.
The fish took the bait.
At this time, you must be extremely prepared.
Everyone was doing their job, wearing plain clothes and walking on the street like passers-by.
Qiu Jiang is one of them.
She was wearing a white shirt, a black leather skirt, and glasses that covered most of her small face. She looked like a beautiful Hong Kong girl who had just returned from get off work in a high-end office.
She wasn't actually used to this outfit, but she copied it from the outfit of a Hong Kong female employee who occasionally passed by, thinking that this might make some people think she was a local, lowering their vigilance and the chance of alerting the enemy.
In front of her was the couple selling fish balls, who were accompanied by the cousin.
The couple looked expectant and longing, and from time to time they would ask their cousin and his wife, "Can we really have a son?"
"Of course, and could you please stop nagging?"
Seeing that their cousin and his wife were getting impatient with the questions, they finally managed to control their joy and nervousness.
The evening breeze on the Hong Kong River is extremely comfortable, but people are in a hurry and busy, constantly running for their lives, so it is difficult for them to be interested in and pay attention to some unimportant people.
So when they rushed into a dilapidated building full of mixed business, they didn't attract anyone's attention.
However, when they entered the building, they found that it was still too dilapidated, with narrow corridors, dark roads and black walls that could not be seen white.
Even though the sun was shining brightly outside, it seemed that the sunlight could not reach here, and the dark corridor needed to be illuminated by lights.
And even the lighting was dim.
In addition, there are gates everywhere and the population is very dense.
According to her past experience, such places are usually high-incidence areas of crime. As long as there is someone with ulterior motives in any room, he can instantly drag passers-by into the house. Her alarm was instantly raised to the extreme.
Even her palms were covered in sweat, feeling sticky and uncomfortable.
Especially since there would be people coming out occasionally, including foreigners with dark faces and turbans. As soon as they came out, they would start to look people up and down with their eyes, which made people feel particularly uncomfortable.
However, the moment they saw her, they suddenly looked away in horror, not even throwing away the dirty water they were about to throw away, and went straight back into the house.
The door slammed shut.
Qiu Jiang was confused by his strange actions.
But the target in front was almost gone, so she didn't have time to think about it and quickly followed.
After keeping a certain distance, he whispered a response to the person on the other end of the call.
"Everything is normal, there are no special circumstances."
"Okay." Ji Mingcheng's low voice came from the earphones between her hair. She was about to continue paying attention to the group in front when she heard him continue, "Be careful."
Qiu Jiang softened her gaze slightly, "I know."
After replying to him, her eyes gradually became calm, and her gaze followed the five people in front closely.
After going around in circles for a long time, I finally arrived at a store with scary flashing red and green lights.
They said something to the middle-aged man at the door, then lifted the curtain and walked in.
Then the man returned to the door, but when he saw her, his eyes looked obviously strange, and he looked over here again.
However, when he looked again, the familiar figure had disappeared.
He rubbed his eyes, scratched his head in confusion, and continued to sit down.
Qiu Jiang was hiding in a corner at this time, his heart beating wildly.
After her breathing calmed down a bit, she glanced at the store again. The man was still guarding it and looking around from time to time.
She quickly returned to her previous position and leaned closer to the microphone. "They entered a store with flashing red and green lights. It's called... Sister Hong's Life Shop. They've been there for about five minutes."
After she finished speaking, several other people who followed her also began to provide information.
"Sir Ji, I think I've seen the gatekeeper at the door of this store before. He was among the crowd watching the body of the fruit stall owner's daughter being found."
"Yes, yes, I've seen this person before."
"Looks like this is it. Keep a close eye on it and be careful."
Ji Mingcheng's voice came from the headphones.
After they responded in a low voice, they continued their observation work so that they could rush in as soon as possible if they heard any sound from inside.
As a result, after a long time, there was no sound in the store. Their feet were numb from waiting, but they didn't hear any unusual noises.
Even after more than ten minutes, the four people who had just entered came out.
???
The people who were observing from the surrounding shops all looked confused.
It seems like nothing happened.
Even their spy couple looked extremely unhappy, and even their bodies were shaking a little.
Their cousins would often mock them, "Are you done yet? Do you still want a son? You can't even stand this."
After they finished speaking, the couple became even more frightened.
“I…”
They talked for a long time without saying a complete sentence, which made their cousin and his wife quite dissatisfied.
"It was you who wanted to have a son, and I brought you here because you seemed to be quite nice to us. What do you mean now? If you haven't made up your mind, how would you justify asking us to bring you here? Don't look for me next time. I won't bring you here again."
The cousin and his wife were so angry that they ignored them and left.
Looks really angry.
The vendor couple knew they were supposed to catch up according to the script, but really, really...
There was undisguised fear in both of their eyes.
When they arrived in front of Ji Mingcheng, they seemed to be on the verge of collapse.
"They are not human beings. I am really scared. So scared."
"Yes, yes, they are so cruel. They actually want us to burn our own daughter to death with our own hands."
Even if the little girl was not their daughter, few normal people could accept that they were going to burn someone to death, especially the content and sacrificial process they described at the time, which made them shudder.
"What's going on?"
Qiu Jiang also came back at this time. As soon as she opened her mouth to ask a question, she saw that the couple's eyes were almost popping out of their sockets and they screamed in fear.
“Ahhhh—”
"Cover them quickly."
At Ji Mingcheng's command, the people around them quickly covered their mouths, and their voices finally disappeared.
He pretended to be silent again, and no one dared to make a sound.
Ji Mingcheng took the opportunity to quickly scan the surroundings.
Some people obviously heard the sound from this side and kept looking around, as if trying to confirm what the sound was.
But nothing was discovered and soon no one paid attention to it.
After the alarm was lifted, their tense nerves finally relaxed a little.
But I don't understand why these two people reacted so strangely.
"What are you doing?——"
The Liang family is very arrogant.
“She, she…”
Both of them pointed at Qiu Jiang, with terrified expressions as if they had seen a ghost.
No, I’m more afraid of seeing ghosts.
At least the ghost is fake and won't hurt people, but she can really kill people.
Instigating murder is also murder.
Their bodies were still shaking.
This strange reaction made everyone confused and they couldn't understand what was going on with them.
But Qiu Jiang suddenly thought of the foreigner in the building and the strange look in the eyes of the man at the door of Sister Hong's shop when he saw her.
The look in his eyes was one of confusion and fear, yet not unfamiliar, as if he knew her.
Or know her...
dress up!
She suddenly had a bold guess in her mind and asked hurriedly:
"Have you ever seen someone dressed very similar to me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the two men's bodies shook violently again.
He looked extremely scared.
That's right.
At first she thought it was someone from the surrounding residents...but it might not be a resident.
It might also be related to that shop!
So what role does the woman who often appears and is dressed like this play?
The answer to this mystery may be revealed soon.
