Chapter 43 Cat's Eye Collar
Suppressing the itch rising in her throat, Qianzhu took out her phone and texted Xiaolan as she walked towards the door, even thoughtfully closing the door behind her.
He flagged down a taxi on the roadside, gave the address, and then closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.
But the pain in his chest became more and more pronounced, and he even felt that breathing was becoming increasingly difficult.
After the car stopped, Qianzhu, despite feeling unwell, paid the fare and got out, walking unsteadily towards the Qianye residence.
He didn't even have time to turn on the lights after entering the room. In the darkness, he accurately grabbed the medicine bottle, poured out two pills, and swallowed them directly.
As the pain in her chest gradually subsided, Qianzhu collapsed weakly onto the sofa, panting slightly. Her amber eyes were now completely empty, and even the moonlight streaming through the glass couldn't illuminate them at all.
He closed his eyes and let his consciousness sink into darkness.
After an unknown amount of time, a hand suddenly appeared and closed the medicine bottle on the table.
Immediately, the owner of the hand gently picked up Qianzhu from the sofa and carried him back to his room.
After I covered him with the blanket, I heard the soft sound of a door closing.
...
Time flies by.
Oh, you can't describe time like that, after all, this is a time-chaotic world of science fiction.
Bertrand stood expressionlessly at the door, looking at the safe house with a banner that read "Welcome Newcomer." He yawned with sleepy eyes and then opened Conan's live stream.
He glanced at the surroundings, Bertrand's half-moon eyes, and said he didn't remember.
So I clicked on Kogoro Mouri's live stream.
Oh wow, a man with a Mediterranean-looking face and a beard came into view.
I remembered it instantly.
However, Kogoro Mouri is investigating another extramarital affair case, something he excels at.
It was still early, and there was no one else in the safe house except for Vodka, who was making breakfast for Bertrand.
And Gin is probably in 007 again.
That must have been really tough.
Bertrand offered a feigned expression of sympathy.
I reached into my bag, intending to take out a lollipop, but instead touched a smooth, round stone.
After taking out the cat's eye stone that he was about to forget and examining it, Bertrand thought for a moment, then got up and slipped into the room where his tools were kept.
A loud clanging sound suddenly erupted from the room, which hadn't been closed, startling Vodka, who had just come out of the kitchen. He nearly dropped his breakfast.
He thought some little madman was up to something bad again.
But he didn't dare to go and check it out.
After placing the breakfast on the table, he looked restrained and kept glancing towards the tool shed.
Finally, the commotion inside subsided, and Bertrand walked out with a joyful expression on his face, holding a necklace in his hand.
A gemstone that looks like a cat's eye is assembled on the leather choker, and a silver cross necklace pendant hangs below the choker.
Upon seeing the vodka, Bertrand's eyes lit up, and she excitedly ran over to show him the necklace in her hand. "Vodka, look! Isn't this beautiful! This cat's eye stone was a gift from the old man! Isn't it perfect for making a necklace?"
Vodka discreetly examined the object in his hand, and after confirming that it wasn't anything dangerous, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Staring into Bertrand's sparkling eyes, Vodka nodded repeatedly: "Beautiful, very beautiful!"
Having received the answer he wanted, Bertrand put on the collar with satisfaction, and immediately slipped away to find a mirror.
