Chapter 477 Above the Posa (12) (1st + 2nd update) [VIP]
Bai Jin's description of following behind naturally did not mean following these people directly.
Ordinary people who have not received training still have this thing called the sixth sense. Even when standing in a crowd, they can use their brain’s instinct to perceive that someone is looking at them, not to mention trained police officers.
Bai Jinshu believed that he did not have the tracking ability to hide from the police's perception 100%. Bo Jiren, who was following him, was just an ordinary person. The two of them just following behind this group of police officers was no different from running naked.
If the Foundation's mall was usable now, it would be fine. Unfortunately, the mall in this world is also poorly connected, so there is nothing we can do about it.
But the bad thing about tracking a group of plainclothes policemen on field duty is that they are policemen, and it is impossible to track them without leaving any traces. The good thing is that they are policemen, and they come here to investigate.
Since it was for investigation, I had a ready-made excuse to approach them.
"Let's go to the front later," Bai Jinshu followed for a while, confirmed the direction they were heading, and then whispered to Bo Jiren, "Let's go to the roadside and watch those old men playing chess, and wait for them to come and ask us."
"Can they come and ask?" Bo Jiren was a little skeptical.
Although they only followed the group of policemen for a short distance, they could see that when they asked others if they had seen the man with "long hair, high nose bridge, and pointed face", most of the people they chose to ask were the shop owners on both sides of the street.
How could these two young men, squatting nearby and watching an old man play chess, be chosen by the police to ask questions?
Bai Jinshu nodded: "Yes."
"Look at those two people." Now that time was not tight, he didn't mind explaining a little more to Bo Jiren, "The one with the white beard on the left has touched the back of his head three or four times within a minute. He rubbed his hands non-stop, his face was full of anxiety, and he looked around. What does this mean?"
He was referring to two old men who were playing chess in the shade at a street corner.
"Does it mean he's about to lose?" Bo Jiren answered tentatively.
"It means he's about to lose," Bai Jinshu nodded, then changed the subject, "Look at the guy on the other side again, can you see anything?"
"He's about to win," Bo Jiren said sincerely, "He looks very proud of himself."
Although Bo Jiren was a clerk before joining the foundation, the company environment where he worked was not very good and there were serious office struggles. He did not get much work done every day, but he saw a lot of undercurrents between colleagues and leaders. In order to keep his job and not be excluded, he also learned a lot of skills to observe people's words and expressions.
Now that Bai Jinshu had reminded him, he subconsciously began to observe the group of old men playing chess on the street corner.
The one sitting on both sides of the chess table had a white beard, and the other was drinking tea. The white beard was obviously about to lose, and he looked very anxious. Not only did he keep making small movements, but he also looked around from time to time.
The other one looked like a winner, proudly picking up the glass beside him, drinking tea while blowing away the tea leaves floating on the water, and looking at Whitebeard opposite him with an expression of confidence on his face.
The body language of the onlookers nearby also showed that the victory was already decided, but the old man with white beard was struggling, scratching his head and trying to find a way out.
What does this mean?
It can't be that the police also like to join in the fun and watch the two old men play chess, right?
"Who said the police went to find them?" Bai Jinshu walked towards the group of uncles, "Someone is going to find the police on his own initiative."
Bo Jiren quickly trotted to catch up.
The two old men beside the chessboard were still in a stalemate.
He originally thought that the chess games casually set up on the roadside were all about chess, but when he got closer, he found that the two old men were actually playing Go.
He knows a little bit about chess. He memorized the formula when he was a child: horse moves in the shape of a sun, elephant flies in a field, chariot goes in a straight line, and cannon flies over mountains.
As for Go... with his level of knowledge, he can only understand that there are more white pieces than black pieces on the board. As for the white-bearded uncle scratching his ears and cheeks... I'm sorry, I can't feel it.
Bo Jiren looked curiously at Scarao who was standing in front of him. Scarao was looking at the chessboard thoughtfully with his head down, as if he understood it very well.
There are some things I can understand from the barrage:
[This is the first time I have seen people playing Go on the street.]
[This black player will definitely lose. ]
[I've been blocked to a dead end. No matter how I play, I'll lose. ]
The other uncles who were watching around didn't pay much attention to their arrival. Some of them seemed to be very familiar with the old man with white beard and were joking with each other.
"Hey, Lao Ma," one of them said, patting him on the shoulder, "just admit defeat. There is no way back now."
"Go away," the white-bearded old man called Lao Ma waved his hand away unhappily, "A true gentleman watches chess without saying a word. Don't disrupt my train of thought! Get out of the way!"
"What ideas do you have? This is the only way you can go." The old man on his right who was smoking a pipe stretched out his hand and tapped on the chessboard. "Here, here, here, you will be defeated wherever you move. Just admit defeat."
"You go away too," said Lao Ma unhappily, "If I lose, it's all because of you pointing fingers at me."
He retorted unhappily, and waved his right hand away with a big swing, and was about to wave it onto the chessboard -
"Hey——" The old man holding the teacup on the opposite side pulled the chessboard back as if he had expected it, "I knew you were going to do this!"
The old men watching burst into laughter instantly.
"You are such a lousy chess player. You have to cheat when you can't beat me," the old man holding the teacup on the opposite side laughed as if he had expected it. "Fortunately, I was prepared for this trick of yours."
"Who said I was cheating?" Old Ma's face turned red at once, "I was just careless! I almost touched the chessboard! It's all Old Zhang's fault. If he hadn't pointed at the chessboard, I wouldn't have accidentally touched it."
"Since the chessboard hasn't been turned over yet," he straightened his face, "let's continue. The winner hasn't been decided yet."
"Tsk tsk," the old man smoking dry tobacco, known as Lao Zhang, shook his head and sighed, "What a tough mouth, what a thick skin."
"You haven't even decided who will win yet," someone exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Anyone with eyes can see who will win. Don't you think so, brother watching over there?"
"Ah? Me?" Bo Jiren was stunned. He found that all the uncles were looking at him. Then he realized that they were calling him "brother". He quickly followed their words and said, "Yes, yes, haha, the victory or defeat is decided."
"Yeah, everyone passing by has seen it, so stop struggling, Old Ma," the old man with the dry tobacco clicked his tongue twice, "Give up, give up, change people, it's my turn—"
"No!" Lao Ma refused. "Don't rush me. There is still some talent in this game. Let me study it more..."
"What are you researching? Hurry up and get up."
"If you lose, you lose. Come back tomorrow. What's the point of you hanging around here?"
"Old Ma, this is boring..."
The uncles around began to condemn.
Lao Ma was surrounded by a group of people. Although he tried hard to look like he refused to admit defeat, he could no longer withstand the condemnation from his old friends. He could only look around, hoping that some savior would drop down from the sky and rescue him from this situation.
At this moment, amid the condemnation of his friends, he suddenly caught a very quiet voice: "Jiren, look, is that the person we just met?"
Then, another voice sounded: "Yes... yes, they seem to be looking for someone."
It was the onlooker who was booed by a group of friends just now.
Who is looking for someone?
Lao Ma looked in the direction of the voices of the two people, and at this moment, a young man with long hair slightly turned sideways inadvertently, revealing several people on the street behind him.
It was a bit far away, so Lao Ma couldn't hear clearly what these people were saying, but from their body movements and expressions, he could vaguely tell that they seemed to be looking for someone with a photo, and the person being questioned was the owner of a roadside barber shop.
The barber shop owner was an old acquaintance of theirs, and his shop was just opposite the stall where they played chess. However, the barber was an even worse chess player than he was, and no one was willing to play with him, so when he was free, the owner would just come and watch and not play chess himself.
The boss shook his head, and the men took back the photos and walked towards their corner, apparently going to the next place to inquire.
Now when Lao Ma saw these people, he felt like he had seen his savior.
"Brother," he stood up from his seat, "Look for someone. I'll show you."
He enthusiastically stopped several people who happened to pass by.
The plainclothes policemen who were stopped were stunned for a moment, and looked at each other nervously: "You are..."
This is another world, and they were a little unsure when they were suddenly stopped.
"I am a chess player on the roadside. I play chess here every day," Lao Ma introduced enthusiastically. "If you are looking for someone, just ask me. I remember everyone who has passed by here."
"If you don't believe me, ask them." He pointed at the other uncles behind him.
There was a chorus of boos.
"Old Ma is playing dirty again."
"You change the subject when you can't beat the opponent. This chess character is terrible."
"Don't bring him next time."
"Don't take him, don't take him."
The uncles began to condemn.
"Why did you change the subject? I'm just trying to help," Lao Ma said confidently. "They're in a hurry to find someone. What's wrong with me helping them? Maybe I've seen them before."
Although the uncles booed, joining in the fun is indeed something that is engraved in human DNA. After a few words of disdain for Lao Ma, everyone gathered around and said, "Let's see who we should look for?"
Bai Jinshu saw the opportunity and mixed in with Bo Jiren, becoming one of the "joint in the fun uncles" very smoothly.
However, his appearance was quite different from those uncles, which attracted the subconscious scrutiny of these plainclothes officers.
Bai Jinshu pretended not to notice all the stares and calmly mingled among the group of old men to join in the fun.
This is another world. Even if these policemen feel that something is wrong, they will not say it out at this time.
Besides, he was just a passerby, so it didn't matter even if there was something strange about him.
[Aoshen stands out among these uncles. 】
[It's so funny, the incongruity of a handsome young man with long hair appearing among a group of old men with their hands behind their backs. ]
[It is hard to imagine that when Aoshen gets old, he will stand on the street corner with his hands behind his back and watch people play chess.]
[The one in front is Go. ]
After a few comments, the police quickly understood the situation. The leader, a man wearing glasses, quickly pulled out the photo and asked the old men playing chess on the street corner if they had seen it.
"Let me see," Lao Ma took the photo and looked at it, "I don't think I've seen this before."
"Let me see it," Lao Liu next to him took the photo without hesitation, "I don't think I have it either, how about you guys take a look?"
He turned and looked at the others behind him.
The old men didn't hesitate to take the photos and started to examine them.
Some people said that the girl in the photo looked common and hard to find, some people were complaining about Lao Ma's chess style while watching, and some people had already cleaned up the chessboard and were ready to start a new game while everyone was having fun. Bai Jinshu was in the middle, and when the photo was passed to him, the topic of the uncles next to him changed rapidly and had shifted to the new chess game.
"How is it?" The policeman who handed over the photo didn't seem to have any hope, and just asked routinely, "Have you seen this person?"
"No..." Before Bo Jiren could finish his words, Bai Jinshu's voice sounded beside him the next second.
“Yes.”
Bo Jiren looked at him in surprise.
There is no coincidence in the world.
Bai Jinshu took the photo and immediately recognized who this group of people were looking for——
The panicked girl who came into this world through the elevator last night.
This photo is actually not a recent one of hers. It looks more like an ID photo from a few years ago. The facial features in the photo haven't even fully grown yet, and she looks much more childish than the one I saw last night.
If you have not seen the person in person, it would be difficult to find him based on this photo alone.
The person they were looking for was not A-Lian.
However, this did explain another confusion of Bai Jinshu, which was what exactly A Lian wanted to hide through him.
It's nothing more than that this group of people are the police from another world. A Lian and A Yuan, the two suspects who tried a bunch of psychic games and finally escaped to another world, thought the police were here to arrest them when they saw them, so they quickly found an excuse and ran to the pharmacy to find a scapegoat.
The so-called scapegoat is naturally Bai Jinshu.
A Lian came in and revealed the news that "people in this world cannot be killed". She also deliberately revealed a flaw to make Bai Jinshu think that the person they were hiding from was definitely not a policeman from this world. She also fabricated a non-existent third person. Her purpose was to make Bai Jinshu suspect that they were hiding from this third person or some strange thing, and then curiously go out to look for him.
A-Lian and A-Yuan did not enter this world by accident, but intentionally. Most likely they had committed some serious crime and felt they could not escape, so they decided to give it a try and tried the legendary psychic game. Unexpectedly, they really arrived in another world and were accidentally acquitted.
In another world, A Lian judged others by herself and thought that Skao, another person with blood on his hands, was also seeking refuge here.
Now that the police have come to her door, she feels guilty and thinks they are out to arrest her. In order to avoid being caught, she naturally has to push someone to be the scapegoat.
If only another wanted criminal ran into the police's gun, it would buy them plenty of time to escape.
I'm afraid that the moment Bai Jin described the pharmacies, the two men had already run away.
But what they didn't expect was that...Skao was indeed not a wanted criminal.
Even in his own world, he has never been caught in the true sense of the word.
These policemen did not do what she wanted and took Skao away to buy them some time.
Bai Jinshu raised his head, resisting the urge to open the temporary group chat to ask Zhao Yinglai if the two people were still there, and looked at the policemen in front of him.
The leading police officer looked surprised and asked: "Where have you seen her?"
He hurriedly asked: "Can you tell us or take us there?"
Bai Jinshu curled his eyes slightly.
After solving A-Lian’s problem, the problem of the frightened girl is also worth pondering.
The panicked girl came to this world through the elevator game last night, but the police from another world chased her this afternoon. It was too fast, to an outrageous degree.
She doesn't look like someone like A-Lian who came here to escape punishment... She looks like an ordinary girl.
If it wasn't to exonerate herself, considering the scars on her legs, what on earth did these people come to find her for?
[Ao Shen, please don't laugh like that. I'm scared. 】
[The last time Aoshen stabbed Fang Shaoning, he was also laughing so happily. 】
[You call this kind of sinister laughter a happy laugh? ]
[You call Aoshen's friendly smile sinister? 】
"It's possible," Bai Jinshu touched his chin, put away his smile and squinted his eyes a little embarrassedly, "But I want to know, what on earth are you looking for this person for?"
Could it be that the panicked girl had committed a more serious crime than A-Lian?
"Oh, that's right," the police were well prepared for this question and explained in unison, "This guy owes us money and won't pay it back!"
"My whole family's savings are in there, and we are in a hurry to find her now!"
"She took away all our savings, and we had a hard time getting the news that she might be here."
"Dude, don't be fooled by her cute appearance, she's actually a swindler."
"If you have seen it, please provide us with information. Thank you very much!"
…
Several people talked at once, portraying the panicked girl from last night as a debtor who didn't pay back her money, but their acting skills were much poorer. They could fool the group of chess-playing uncles behind Bai Jinshu, but not him.
They are lying.
These people have other ulterior motives for looking for that girl.
Of course, now the police regarded him as a native of another world, so it was normal for them to lie to him. Otherwise, the natives would see that something was wrong with them and they would be the ones to escape.
Bai Jinshu lowered his eyes and thought for a few seconds: "Okay, I'll take you to the place where I saw her yesterday."
He planned to take this group of people to a random place to fool around, and then go back to the vicinity of the building to wait for the frightened girl.
The police are very tight-lipped about some things, but if you use the excuse that they are looking for you, most people who are looked for by the police will tell the truth.
Not to mention that it has been almost a day since the panicked girl entered this world. Even if she was slow-witted, she should have realized that this was another world. Now on one side are the police who have come across the world to arrest someone who has been missing for less than 24 hours, and on the other side are the girl who has no knowledge of this world and was almost scared to tears when she just entered here. Everyone knows who to trick.
Things in this world are becoming more and more interesting.
"Thank you," the policeman with glasses who handed over the photo didn't know that he had so many twists and turns in his mind. He thought Bai Jinshu really believed their flowers, and thanked him several times in surprise. Then he said with some embarrassment, "But can you wait a moment?"
Bai Jinshu: "What do you guys need?"
What are you waiting for?
"We have some friends who are also looking for this person," he explained, "Can we wait until they all get together before we go?"
Bai Jin explained it clearly.
Other police officers.
It seems that this panicked girl is very important... otherwise so many people wouldn't risk crossing the world to come here to find her.
He could also take this opportunity to ask about the whereabouts of A Lian and A Yuan.
Bai Jinshu nodded and agreed to their request, opened the temporary group chat, and immediately tagged Zhao Yinglai.
Skao: [@Jiang Jie, are A Lian and A Yuan still here? ]
Zhao Ying replied quickly: [No, you and Bo Jiren just left not long ago, and these two found an excuse to leave.]
Zhao Yinglai: [What’s going on? What did you do outside, Faye? ]
A-Lian and A-Yuan came to the pharmacy and talked a lot of nonsense. They were supposed to hide there for an afternoon, but they just left. What was going on?
Bai Jinshu shook his head slightly: [I know who they are hiding from, the police from another world.]
Zhaoyinglai: [? ]
Zhao Yinglai: [Oh my god, they are cheating you? ]
She instantly understood what A Lian and A Yuan wanted to do, which was nothing more than pushing Skao out and running away by themselves.
But the premise of this move is that Skao is indeed a person who has committed a crime like them and has hidden here. Unfortunately, they are an outside exploration team, and Alian's plan is doomed to fail.
Zhao Yinglai: [I will go and settle accounts with them. ]
Skao: [No rush.]
Skao: [I have some new information about the girl in the white dress I saw last night.]
The others in the group chat finally found an opportunity to interrupt.
Tang Ling: [The girl in the elevator game? ]
Qiu Zihan: [Brother Faye, you caught her? That's awesome! ]
Qiu Zihan: [[thumb][thumb][thumb]]
Even Di Xueni sent a message: [Brother Fa Ye, do you need us to come over? Can you and Bo Jiren hold him down? ]
Bo Jiren replied awkwardly: [No, the two of us didn’t catch her.]
Skao: [We met someone who came to look for her. The police from another world are looking for her here.]
There were suddenly a lot of question marks in the temporary group chat.
The source of the question, Bai Jinshu, put down his watch and suddenly looked towards the distance on the street as if he sensed something.
At the end of the street, several people who looked dressed similarly to the policemen walked over.
"These are our friends," the bespectacled policeman introduced. "We are all people whose money she cheated."
He wanted to say something else when he saw the long-haired young man next to him suddenly curled up the corners of his mouth and chuckled.
"Hello," he suddenly held out his hand to one of the approaching policemen, "Skao."
Another hand came up to hold it.
Bai Jinshu naturally hooked the palm of the hand with his little finger, in return he received a faint glance from the other party.
The hand clenched even tighter, leaving no room for his little finger to move.
"An acquaintance," he turned to the policeman with glasses and said, "This is someone I know."
"Captain?" The policeman with glasses looked back and forth between the two men in surprise, "An acquaintance?"
"An acquaintance," Bai Jinshu pulled his hand back nimbly and winked at the policeman with glasses, "What a coincidence."
What a coincidence.
The police captain who entered another world to look for the girl in the white dress happened to be Huai Jiamu.
The author has something to say:
Brother Jiamu is coming to Liao! Although it seems that he appeared late, it is only the second day in terms of the timeline.
It's been a while since I changed the cover of Jiamuge. I changed it when he appeared. Next time I change it back, I'll use another cover of Aoshen.
