Chapter 10 New and Old Grudges
Qiao Lan took out some water from the space and washed the blood off his hands and face.
She washed slowly and carefully.
Also used hand sanitizer.
And soap.
Rub repeatedly until the bloody smell on your hands is basically gone.
There was blood splattered on her clothes, so she found a new set of clothes from the space and put them on.
After tidying himself up, he took out a bottle of disinfectant and a bottle of air freshener from the space and sprayed them in the car.
Returning to normal society from the bloody apocalypse, Qiao Lan felt at home in the sweet aroma of food, perfume, and even car exhaust. But the salty, fishy smell of rust in front of her only made her feel nauseous.
The alley outside the carriage was very quiet, but the hustle and bustle of the street at the other end of the alley could be heard faintly, even through the wall of the carriage.
There was the buzzing of human voices, pop songs playing from the speakers, and the chaotic hawking from the loudspeakers.
The mundane world.
And here she is killing people.
She hates killing people.
The end of the world is coming, and the prosperity of the city on the eve of the storm is very precious. Soon all of this will disappear, and she hopes to enjoy it.
But these robbers disturbed her.
Qiao Lan was not in a good mood.
He got out of the car with a gloomy face.
The surroundings are dark and remote, and the bustling food street is just around the corner about ten meters ahead.
Suddenly a man wandered into the alley and walked inside.
Qiao Lan stopped and stood quietly, with the murder scene in the carriage next to him.
The man hummed a song and walked until he was two or three meters in front of Qiao Lan.
There was a sound of water splashing.
Standing at the wall to relieve oneself.
After untying it, he tied his clothes and wandered out of the alley again.
The smell of alcohol wafted over.
It turned out that he was drunk and he didn't see Qiao Lan in the shadows from beginning to end.
Qiao Lan breathed a sigh of relief.
He walked forward and took out the schoolbag from the cab. With a thought, he put the entire car and the corpse into the space.
This is the crime scene, so I can’t stay outside and cause trouble.
Then she used Scarface's cell phone to contact Chu Yinong and sent him a fishing message.
She wanted to resolve the new and old grudges as soon as possible.
"It's done."
"That girl has millions in cash on her, she's making a killing!"
"Let's meet right away. I'll give you 500,000 yuan. And if you need any work next time, please introduce me to some."
"See you soon, we'll leave the city and hide overnight."
"Hurry up, I don't have time to wait for you!"
After sending several messages, Chu Yinong replied after a while.
"I'm out of town and can't get back. Please transfer the money to my card. I need one million."
Qiao Lan cursed.
So greedy!
Reply: No, it’s dangerous to withdraw money from the bank, you can only give cash. Forget it, we are in a hurry to leave the city, let’s contact each other later.
Chu Yinong replied to a few more messages, saying that she was really on vacation in a tourist area more than a hundred kilometers away and could not make it back.
Even called me urgently.
It seems that he is quite attracted by money.
Qiao Lan hung up the phone and continued sending emails.
But after trying several times, I was unable to get her to meet me immediately.
Maybe the person is really not in the city?
Or maybe he is cautious and doesn't dare to meet the criminal easily?
However, this possibility is relatively small. Chu Yinong was very familiar with this matter and did not prevent the phone call from being recorded by the gangsters. It is obvious that she is a habitual offender, bold and crazy.
Most likely it's not in the city.
I don't know what kind of background this woman has. She's so dirty in private, yet she's still praised as the school beauty. In a peaceful world, there aren't many people who dare to do this.
Moreover, at the beginning of the apocalypse, most people were struggling to survive, but she was able to lead a gang to kill and rob everywhere. How did she do that?
She must have someone behind her.
Moreover, he is a powerful backer both before and after the apocalypse.
Only then can she continue to act recklessly.
Also, regarding what Chu Yinong said in the apocalypse, that she was madly chasing Qiao Lan and Xiao Tang because she was annoyed that Xiao Tang ignored her good intentions—
Qiao Lan has reservations about this.
A long time after the incident, she thought calmly, even if Chu Yinong was a pervert and was bored and wanted to find trouble for revenge, would all her subordinates be willing to waste their precious time and energy to become perverted with her?
That was the early days of the apocalypse, and everyone was busy looking for water. The looting and killing were basically all for resources.
Why do a group of people always chase her and Xiao Tang? They don’t have any food or water to steal.
But if there is another reason, what is it?
In his previous life, Qiao Lan had endured the apocalypse for more than four years, but he still couldn't figure out this question.
However……
Qiao Lan looked at the time.
21:20.
It’s getting late.
The restaurant orders have not been collected yet.
Some supplies haven't been collected yet.
Qiao Lan stood there, thought about it, and made a decision.
Chu Yinong is obviously not as important as the supplies. I will find a chance to deal with her and investigate her later.
I can't waste any more time on her.
After Qiao Lan walked out of the alley, she called the car rental company and asked them to send a similar small truck over immediately so that she could continue collecting the meals.
Then stand by the roadside waiting for a bus.
There happened to be a cold drink and dessert shop nearby, so she bought some ice cream.
The sweet, cool juice flows down the esophagus into the stomach, refreshing the heart.
The restlessness in Qiao Lan's heart caused by the murder was gradually calmed down.
The coldness in his eyes also dissipated.
The streets are so prosperous and beautiful, why worry about those villains? Qiao Lan temporarily put aside the unhappiness caused by Chu Yinong and concentrated on enjoying the ice cream cone, squinting his eyes as he ate, as comfortable as a cat.
A few meters away.
A spicy hot pot stall.
Several sets of plastic tables and chairs were filled with people, and heat and fragrance were rising.
This food street is always crowded.
There were many C university students who did not go home during the holidays, as well as nearby residents and people from the city who came here to visit. The small stalls and food trucks on the street were all crowded with people.
Although there are many people on the streets on weekdays, there shouldn't be this many.
But today, Qiao Lan was ordering food frantically everywhere, and many stores closed their shops to work overtime for her and refused to accept other customers, forcing others to eat at roadside stalls.
This was when Qiao Lan ordered the meal. The evening snack stalls weren't open yet, otherwise she definitely wouldn't have missed out. If that happened, the street food would be gone, and the other diners would really cry.
At this time, in front of the Malatang stall, a young man was concentrating on eating the Malatang in his bowl, but his eyes were constantly staring at Qiao Lan on the street.
While eating, he whispered into the tiny microphone in his collar.
"The target came out alone. The people who were following her didn't come out, and neither did the car. Captain Ye, the target changed her clothes, but she looked very relaxed. She even bought some ice cream. She doesn't look like a victim."
Ye Qi's voice rang out: "I've said it before, she's very skilled, and a few ordinary thugs are definitely no match for her."
"So that's why you didn't let me follow you in and keep an eye on you? But..."
Before he could finish his words, the young man shuddered.
Captain Ye's voice was right next to my ear, not coming from the receiver.
He looked up and was surprised to see the captain's tall and slender figure.
He was dressed in a white shirt, black trousers, and gold-rimmed glasses, looking very elegant, which was in sharp contrast to the other male diners around him who were wearing shorts, slippers and large T-shirts.
Like a crane standing out among a flock of roosters.
"Team……"
"We don't know each other."
Ye Qi spoke without moving his lips, and sat down at the table where a guest had just left.
The young investigator immediately acted as if nothing had happened and continued eating.
The two didn't even meet eyes.
This is the basic quality of an investigator.
Ye Qi asked the Malatang aunt for some vegetarian ingredients and started waiting for the meal.
This is the best position to observe Qiao Lan at this time.
He looked at Qiao Lan.
No hiding sight.
I even hope Qiao Lan will find out sooner.
There was no progress in the investigation into Qiao Lan throughout the afternoon.
There are not enough people, and the two investigators assigned need to take care of other targets, and they are mainly responsible for surveillance in urban areas.
When we were outside the city, I didn't dare follow too closely because the road Qiao Lan was taking was very remote and there were no other cars on the road. If I followed him too long, I would alert the enemy, so I could only take a detour and wait.
The first priority of their security system was to maintain confidentiality and not alert the target easily. So for a long time, they had no idea what Qiao Lan was doing outside the city.
The locator didn't work either, as she switched cars with someone else along the way.
Qiao Lan spends an astonishing amount of money.
He even invited a large group of diverse people to dinner at the Tsui Wah Hotel.
Target No. 6 is also at that hotel tonight.
It makes people feel that the conspiracy is even deeper.
Ye Qi felt that it was very necessary for him to come out as bait to stimulate Qiao Lan.
It would be best to induce her to do some special behavior so as to find a breakthrough point for in-depth investigation, or directly find evidence to arrest her for interrogation.
He figured this risky move would be effective.
After all, she beat him up as soon as they met in the morning, so she probably noticed something.
"Handsome boy! Yours is ready, come and get it yourself!"
After a few minutes, Aunt Malatang called out to Ye Qi at the top of her voice.
