Chapter 62 Windfall

At around ten o'clock in the evening, there was a cold skin stall outside Lao Chi's community.

Qi Yi's family and Lao Chi's family have searched carefully, but there is no valuable information.

There was a layer of dust on Qi Yi's house, and it was obvious that no one had been in for many days. Lao Chi's house was still the same as when they left. They didn't do much cleaning that night, and the house was still in a mess.

After working all day, Qi Yi and Lao Chi were already hungry. Looking at the mess in the house, they were not in the mood to stay at home. After thinking about it, they decided to go to the stall at the entrance of the community to solve the problem.

They originally asked Mao Ning'an to go to Qi Yi's house, but found nothing at their house, so they changed their position and asked Mao Ning'an to go directly to Lao Chi's house.

When Mao Ning'an arrived, the two of them had already eaten. Behind him was his little apprentice who had been pecked by a crow before, following him with a shy smile.

"You guys... are you done? Have you discovered anything?"

Lao Chi Liangpi breathed loudly: "No, it's a waste of time. No one has been in Lao Chi's or my house. What does Master want to eat? And this little brother."

Mao Ning'an's young apprentice waved his hand: "No, no, no, no, no, I just came here after eating in the cafeteria."

Mao Ning'an was still thinking about Lao Chi's midnight snack, and stretched out his hand and shouted: "Boss, a bowl of cold skin! Don't break your ears!"

Lao Chi also shouted: "Three bowls, three bowls! I don't want to pick, I want everything!"

The Liangpi was served quickly. They watched Lao Chi wolfing down another portion of Liangpi in one go. Mao Ning'an said, "Didn't you have dinner?"

Lao Chi said: "I have been busy and have no time. Boss, I want three more cups of sour plum soup!"

Qi Yi was eating steamed buns with plain water next to him, and made a gesture with his hands: Oops, I promised to treat Jiang Xiaoyu to milk tea at noon, so I let her go...

Forget it, I'll make it up another day.

Lao Chi looked at Mao Ning'an's young apprentice: "I just forgot to ask, little brother, how are you, are you okay?"

The little apprentice had a lot of band-aids on his face and back of his hands.

Although Lao Chi's concern was perfunctory, he still shook his head and said, "Thank you for your concern. After finishing work that day, I went to the hospital for further treatment. It's a minor problem and will be cured in a few days. However, Brother Yi seems to be seriously injured."

It was indeed serious. It was very painful to eat. Lao Chi had already finished two bowls of cold noodles, and he had only eaten half a steamed bun. The corner of his left face and mouth was cut through. Eating heavy-flavored food into his mouth was like a wound.

Sprinkle salt, but he is used to eating heavy food, and it is difficult to eat light food.

Mao Ning'an was getting older. When he saw his two injured colleagues, he couldn't help nagging: "As a criminal police officer, it is difficult to avoid danger as long as you go out on the field. I'm not talking about you two. If anything happens, you will not talk to the team."

Let me give you some peace of mind in advance. Although the case is important, your safety is more important.

I used to only know Chi Houhou as reckless, but I didn’t expect you, Qi Yi, to be even more reckless than him."

At this point, there was no business at the stalls, and the boss was sitting on the edge, smoking a cigarette and listening to their chatter with his ears open.

Of course, except for the young apprentice, the other three are not newbies and will not talk about specific work outside to avoid accidentally leaking secrets.

But the boss still heard something and couldn't help but crane his neck and ask: "Teachers, are you criminal police?"

The four people remained silent instinctively. Being a police officer is actually quite troublesome in life, and they all subconsciously did not want to be exposed.

After coming back to his senses, Lao Chi still smiled and nodded, admitting it. Anyway, they had already paid once before, so the boss should not misunderstand that they wanted to freeload.

The boss looked hesitant, as if he was hesitant to speak.

Qi Yi kicked the sole of Lao Chi's leather shoe.

Only then did Lao Chi put down the third bowl of cold skin. After receiving Qi Yi's hint, he quickly wiped his mouth and patted his chest: "Boss, what's wrong? It's okay. We are the people's public servants. If there are bullies around here, we will charge protection fees."

Feel free to tell us."

The boss was amused by Lao Chi: "That's not true, but..." As he said that, he looked blank, "I saw something strange recently, and I don't know if I should tell you.

I always feel that reporting the crime may be a bit of a fuss, but if I don’t report the crime, I always feel uneasy. It just so happens that you are all police officers, why don’t you listen to me?”

"It's okay, just tell me, we happened to be having dinner at your place, so we just pretended to be a dragon gate array. If there is really something wrong, you just provide important clues, maybe we can make a contribution."

The boss took a few steps forward and stood next to a few people: "Then I said it. It's like this. When I was closing the stall at night recently, I always felt that there seemed to be something in the green belt of the community, and there was a shadow flashing in it.

Move away, like a human being, but not as big as a human being."

Qi Yi and Lao Chi's hearts skipped a beat. They briefly made eye contact. Qi Yi lowered his head and continued to eat the buns. Lao Chi asked casually: "Can I trouble you to be more specific?"

They all thought about the mysterious figure who walked into Lao Chi's house that day and made a move on Qi Yi. The injury on Qi Yi's face came from this thing.

Unexpectedly, they found no clues at home, but were seen by the boss selling Liangpi.

The boss frowned, as if all five senses were struggling to recall: "It's hard to be specific about this. I just saw a human-like but very small shadow running all over the community, jumping into the green belt, and then running upstairs and along the wall.

Climb, I thought I was dazzled at first, but I’ve seen it two or three times in the past few days, so I guess it’s not like I’m dazzled every time?”

Qi Yi pointed to the community behind him: "Do you live here too?"

The boss nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I live in Building 9."

"Huh?" Lao Chi was a little surprised. He also lived in Building 9, and they were actually in the same building.

"What time do you usually go home? Which green belt do you see the shadow on? Is it the one downstairs?"

The boss simply stubbed out the cigarette he was about to smoke and said seriously:

"The time when I get home is not always certain. When it comes to business, sometimes it's around 11 o'clock when business is not good. Sometimes it's later during holidays when business is good, but it's only 1 o'clock at the latest. As for the location, it's basically downstairs.

.”

After answering, he asked anxiously: "Police officers, are there any recent cases related to this shadow? Will the shadow harm anyone? I don't dare to go home even if I say a few words to you."

After thinking for a while, Lao Chi said, "Did you take any video or anything?"

"The video didn't capture it. Every time I wanted to take out my phone, he disappeared." The boss became even more nervous when he said this, and even wanted to close the stall immediately and go back: "Well, officer, how about I take you to have a look? If you want, I will."

I will close the stall directly."

Of course Lao Chi had no objection. It would be best if he could lead the way: "Okay!"

Mao Ning'an interjected: "Will closing the stall so early affect your business?"

"It's okay, it's okay." The boss wanted a few detectives to accompany him home: "There is no business at this point, it's only a few dollars away. Have you finished eating? I'll take it away now."

Everyone looked at Qi Yi, but Qi Yi was still sitting.

Qi Yi silently picked up the steamed buns, stood up, tore off small pieces and stuffed them into his mouth.

The boss immediately packed up the folding tables and chairs and pushed the multi-functional stall cart.

After leading them to the green belt downstairs, the boss stretched out his finger and said, "In this area, I saw a shadow moving here last night, and then it jumped up to that building and disappeared."
