Episode 74 You should pay more attention to the occasion
"Bang--"
The commotion was much quieter than expected.
Not to mention what kind of impact it will bring.
I thought that this sound would at least attract the attention of the customers or waiters in the area, or make them look strange. However, when Miao Lunan walked away for two or three seconds, the surroundings were still drowned out by high-intensity and high-frequency electronic synthesized sounds, and most people were still immersed in their own enjoyment.
This actually always reminds me - reminds me that this is a game world.
Because normally, in cities with high crime rates, no matter how much people in the city enjoy the convenience of life brought by high technology, or how seriously they live in this world, these endless bad incidents should make people subconsciously increase their vigilance towards society and their awareness of guarding against strangers. However, the social circles that I have come into contact with and seen are all in a very stable state.
I'm not saying it's safe around here.
It is precisely this insecurity that makes the situation around us not as tense as imagined.
To use a real-life example, if a serial murder case is reported in a city, I'm afraid that people in the entire city will respond cautiously, especially families with many elderly, weak, women and children in the house. However, people here just live their lives as usual and are not affected by the case at all.
I can also recall what happened a month or two ago - the owner of a barbecue restaurant easily obtained residents' personal information through promotional activities, and the situation was serious due to frequent burglary cases in the surrounding area. Strangely, no one around thought there was anything wrong with the barbecue restaurant.
“…”
I have a hunch that what happened here is not trivial.
But since Miao Lunan didn't ask me to participate, I could just sit aside.
I subconsciously took a sip of the cocktail he had just mixed, and then took another sip carefully, wanting to try the orange flavor in the wine.
Mm, it still has a bit of orange flavor.
I had just swallowed a mouthful when two rough hands suddenly fell on the bar table out of my peripheral vision. With a muffled sound, veins suddenly popped out on the back of the hand, and the muscles in the arm became tense due to the force, and the movement created a considerable airflow. When I turned my head to look over, my eyes met the other person's red eyes. He didn't look at me, but just observed his surroundings for a moment, then quickly focused on turning the table. In the blink of an eye, he kicked his legs and jumped onto the bar, and a heavier "bang" shook the entire table.
It is obvious that his movements are very smooth and coherent.
But this person obviously does not have professional skills. He kept his hands on the table, which meant he lost at least one second of control over his body. Usually someone could just push him from behind and get him off the bar. Or maybe the person on the opposite side gave him a head-on blow.
Because he now uses both hands to control his body's center of gravity, he has no extra hands to fight back.
I am still watching the show from a close distance.
Before I could watch for two or three seconds, an urgent shout came from across the bar, "Chase him!"
His voice was followed by "He has a knife in his hand, be careful!"
I lowered my eyes to his waist. A flash of cold blood also came into view - it was a knife with blood that had not yet coagulated.
Because of the urging voice just now, he quickened his pace and leaped along the bar with sharp and powerful movements.
"Choi Si, what are you doing?"
Miao Lunan shouted in hatred.
“…”
I stared at the place where the escaped person landed and gently kicked over the chair next to it.
As soon as the escaping person landed, one foot stepped on the hollow space between the chair legs, and the other forward foot had no time to dodge and stepped on the crossbar of the chair. In an instant, the body lost balance. The whole person fell forward. But he was not completely clueless or unresponsive. He supported himself on the ground with his hands.
Because he was right next to me, I kicked him in the direction of his elbow.
He fell to the ground again in a mess.
"What's going on?" He Qisi rushed over and without saying anything, he twisted the man's arms behind his back and then quickly handcuffed him.
With this "clang" sound, the man completely lost the strength and means to escape.
"Li Zhi" stood there like a wooden stake, neither retreating nor exploring curiously. And I continued to sit in my chair, as if I had never moved.
Miao Lunan, who had just returned, asked coldly, "Didn't you hear the sound of someone bumping into me when I entered the employee work area just now?"
He looked angry.
I remembered the secret voice in the corridor just now. "So, you were actually sending a distress signal just now? I thought you would be more direct when you need me."
"..."Miao Lunan didn't say anything, just glared at me and turned away.
But he said behind his back that I was doing it on purpose because I could see clearly his soliloquy.
How to say it?
Miao Lunan has a really bad temper...
If you really want to help, wouldn't it be better to just speak up at the beginning?
At this moment, Miao Lunan happened to see "Li Zhi" staring at him quietly, and his voice was deliberately not so tense, "Li Zhi, what's wrong?"
"Li Zhi" looked calm, "If you need help, you can just ask directly. Now you are so cold because Cui Shi didn't help you in time. Are you venting your anger on others, or are you not in good spirits today, so you performed so poorly?"
There was no change in the tone of his voice. It felt more like a robot speaking. Or perhaps he was too serious and cold, and was too lazy to add any changes to his tone.
Miao Lunan was stung by "Li Zhi's" words, his throat tightened, and he quickly looked at He Qisi, and finally looked in my direction, "He and I are friends. You don't have to worry about how we get along."
This shocked me.
Is there such a thing in my character?
Miao Lunan's eyes were sharp, and he instantly understood my completely unreceptive look and rejection, and mouthed, "Just say yes directly."
He is so domineering and willful.
I always thought that Miao Lunan was a mute person, but occasionally he would show strong emotions when chatting with He Qisi.
It turns out he is quite lively.
I sat up straight and took his lead, "I'm actually his friend."
"Li Zhi" nodded softly and said considerately: "I understand. As long as you are happy."
“…”
Actually, I wasn’t very happy.
In addition, the system's words have a strong sense of human-machine.
I sensed a system of perfunctoriness and rigidity.
However, in He Qisi's eyes, this does not seem to be the case.
I saw him clench his fists slightly, obviously because he was surprised and conflicted to find out that his friend was secretly having a relationship with his boss. Or maybe he thought that Cui Shi had used Miao Lunan's back door to get in touch with the current director, and he felt conflicted, misunderstood, and suspicious.
But he was not completely dominated by his emotions. After tightening his hands, he asked again: "What happened?"
"He just injured someone." Miao Lunan responded, "After being discovered, he immediately ran away."
Not long after he finished speaking, a clearer scream came from behind him, "Someone's dead!"
There was a brief silence in the air for half a second.
Miao Lunan corrected himself, "He just killed someone."
The young man below turned pale, "I didn't kill anyone! It's not me! It's not me--!"
Miao Lunan said expressionlessly: "I saw you pull the knife out of his body with my own eyes."
This one sentence confirmed the murderer's crime.
The suspect opened his mouth but couldn't say a word, "..."
I continued to sit in my swivel chair, swivel around, and not participate in the process.
He Qisi suddenly stared at me, "Captain Cui, do you have any ideas?"
"The exact cause of death can be resolved by handing it over to the medical examiner. There is no point in discussing it now."
I think this kind of thing is really a waste of time.
He Qisi still didn't let me go, "Captain Cui is always not very involved in the case. I have never been very convinced by you. Now that you say this, don't you look like you are going to be a hands-off boss again?"
I:"……"
I sighed inwardly, "I need to be careful when speaking."
"From what we have seen so far, this young man may not necessarily be the murderer."
He Qisi was very dissatisfied: "Louzi said that this person stabbed him. With such an obvious eyewitness, how can you say it's not true? Captain Cui, don't say something that confuses right and wrong just to attract attention."
I don't think I'm trying to attract attention, it's just that He Qisi is a little too emotional.
Generally speaking, I would choose to avoid the confrontation and give the other party some face, especially when there are strangers around.
However, the few people who gathered around now were all acquaintances, and He Qisi insisted on getting a conclusion. I thought about it and spoke with confidence: "Didn't you see that there was no blood splattered on his body?"
This sentence immediately made He Qisi's face turn pale.
He quickly looked down at the suspect's attire.
There was indeed blood only on the blade.
This does not match the signs of a stabbing to death.
“…”
He Qisi's eyes flashed.
Me: "That's obvious. I just didn't want to say it."
Me: “It’s easy to be embarrassed if you say it out loud.”
"Fortunately, everyone here is an acquaintance, and everyone..." No one would mind He Qisi's sudden stupidity.
I tried to comfort her, but when He Qisi looked at me, tears seemed to well up in his eyes.
No way?
I had a bad feeling for some reason.
Just when I was feeling uneasy, "Li Zhi" walked up to me and whispered, "Host, the comics have been updated. Please check it out."
“…”
Please pay attention to the occasion!
