Gao Ying and Zhu Sunling are now extremely vigilant. After all, the surrounding environment now looks too much like a horror movie set.
There were almost no residential buildings around here, and it was in a relatively remote location, relatively close to the sea. When he finally found the coffee shop, Gao Ying had already heard the sound of the ocean tide not far away.
Gao Ying and Zhu Sunling parked their bicycles.
"Don't be too nervous." Zhu Sunling saw that Gao Ying's expression was obviously extremely wary and said: "Relax, the exam has not officially started yet."
They locked their bicycles and looked at the coffee shop across the road. The coffee shop only seemed to cover an area of 300 square meters, and there didn't seem to be a single customer inside. There was no one even in front of the cashier.
A strange aura began to spread.
Gao Ying and Zhu Sunling both came to the conclusion almost at the same time that it was very likely that Zhang Qiang disappeared here.
"Be careful, I'll go ahead." Gao Ying walked in front of Zhu Sunling without hesitation, "No matter whether there is danger or not, I have to..."
"Macho chauvinism? Sorry, I have never thought that women should be protected by men." However, Zhu Sunling did not appreciate it: "I am not a woman now, I am the person in charge of the K examination room. I hope you understand one thing
I don't need your protection."
Zhu Sunling is not a feminist. The essence of feminist thought in modern society is to hope that women’s rights will prevail over men’s rights. But she is also not an egalitarian. There is no fairness in this world. People pursue fairness just because they can
Gaining benefits through fairness, on the other hand, they will not think so when fairness will harm their interests. Therefore, with the development of feminism now, women simply do not want to have equal status with men.
She will never seek male protection at any time. In times of danger, she alone can protect herself.
"No, I mean..." Gao Ying didn't expect that Zhu Sunling would say this. He wanted to say, "I am a man and I should protect women." But it was obvious that Zhu Sunling's thoughts were completely different from his.
different.
"Let me say it again, my identity to you now is not a woman, but the person in charge of the K examination room. Let's walk together, Gao Ying."
Looking at the cafe in front of them, the two began to move slowly away.
After reaching the door, Gao Ying pushed open the glass door of the coffee shop.
There was no one in the coffee shop. There were only about a dozen tables placed inside, and at first glance, there was no one around.
"Is there anyone?" Zhu Sunling said first: "Is anyone there?"
At this time, a door behind the cashier opened and two waiters in suits came out.
Gao Ying and Zhu Sunling looked at the two people. Gao Ying looked at them carefully. According to his feeling, they should be alive.
Zhu Sunling slowly walked towards the two people in front of the cashier. Then, she suddenly pointed at one of the waiters and said, "You...go outside the coffee shop first, and you stay here to answer my questions."
When Gao Ying saw what she did, he was puzzled at first, but soon he understood the intention of Zhu Sunling's approach.
She wants to check their testimony!
When the two are separated, if the categorical order is activated and the two testimonies are different, then it is possible that someone is a ghost! Her thoughts are actually so meticulous!
However, Gao Ying then thought that if the waiter who went out was a ghost, the ghost might also hear the conversation here. In this way, the exact same testimony could be given.
Zhu Sunling showed the photos on her phone and asked the waiter who stayed in the coffee shop: "These people should have come here to drink coffee during the day. Have you seen them?"
The other party's answer was quite satisfactory, saying that he had met several of them, but the testimony he gave was almost the same as the text messages sent by those delinquent teenagers.
"After they asked the questions, they left. This young man... also left with them."
Can't see any problem.
Zhu Sunling took back her phone, nodded, and said, "Now, go out..."
She called the waiter outside the coffee shop in again and started asking him questions. However, she asked different questions from before, and every question was about Zhang Qiang. She asked detailed questions.
.And after asking a few questions, people from outside were let in, and people from inside were allowed to go out. This was repeated a dozen times...each time asking different details.
And in the end... there was no problem with the details. The answers of the two waiters were basically the same. As for some of the inconsistencies, Zhu Sunling didn't find it strange. After all, if two different people were targeting
It's unusual for the testimonies to be exactly the same in such meticulous detail. In detective novels, all the witnesses can tell every detail about everyone they met, even if they met two or three months ago.
, can often provide important clues to detectives, and only novels can have this kind of plot. In real life, people cannot remember every detail of what happened even an hour ago, even if it is a very impressive thing.
All are completely correct. Moreover, memory can easily produce some self-brain supplementation and processing in people's subjective consciousness.
"So that's it..." Gao Ying understood. In fact, what Zhu Sunling wanted was for the two people's testimonies to be completely consistent without any difference, so that she could be sure that one of the two people was really a ghost or both.
They are all ghosts.
Looking at the deserted appearance of the cafe behind him, Gao Ying added a question: "Your... business doesn't seem to be very good?"
When Zhu Sunling heard this, he immediately said: "Answer his question truthfully."
The waiter immediately replied: "Our coffee shop is too remote. The only advantage is that the rent is very cheap. However, the business has not been very good."
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the coffee shop: "What's going on? What are you doing standing outside?"
Gao Ying and Zhu Sunling immediately looked over. Outside the coffee shop, there was a man in ragged clothes, with hair longer than his shoulders and a beard. The man looked to be only thirty years old, but his unkempt appearance made him
He looked a bit old. Moreover, he was holding a bottle of wine in his hand and a cigarette hanging from his mouth.
The man pushed open the door and saw Gao Ying and Zhu Sunling at a glance.
"This is an indoor public place." Gao Ying looked at the cigarette in his mouth with some dissatisfaction, "Please don't smoke here, sir."
"Well..." The middle-aged man smelled of alcohol and still had a wine bottle in his hand. He walked to the cashier, looked at the waiter and said, "Bring me the drink order. I've almost finished my bottle of wine."
Gao Ying originally thought that Zhu Sunling would use orders to restrain the man, but she did not do so. Instead, she quietly observed the scene.
"Forget what happened just now." Zhu Sunling said to the waiter: "Let's receive this guest."
Then, she walked out of the coffee shop and called the customer in.
"Let's talk to this drunkard. People like this kind of gangsters may sometimes be better informed." Gao Ying looked at the drunkard in the coffee shop and said, "This kind of people don't do their job and just wander around all day long. At first glance, they look bad.
He looks like he likes to stir up trouble. Maybe it will be easier for him to know some of the news circulating in the town."
"Well, I have the same intention." Zhu Sunling and Gao Ying had exactly the same idea.
The two of them walked into the coffee shop again, and by this time the waiter had handed the drink order to the drunkard. But he was still holding a cigarette in his hand, drank the half bottle of wine, and said: "Well...
Just a bottle of wine like this… hurry up!”
"Sir, we don't serve whole bottles of wine here..."
"Cut the nonsense! Don't you want to do business?"
Zhu Sunling walked up and said, "Just give him a bottle of wine. We'll pay the bill."
Gao Ying understood, took out the money and put it in front of the cashier.
Zhu Sunling didn't plan to use categorical commands at first. The flaw of this ability was that she could only ask fixed questions, and the other party could only mechanically answer answers within the scope of the questions. The problem was that she didn't know what this drunkard knew.
Asking him about unusual events may not reveal anything. It would be better to get him drunker, maybe he could reveal some more important information.
Then, Gao Ying, Zhu Sunling, and the drunkard sat at the same table. The image of the drunkard and the overall atmosphere of the cafe really didn't match at all, but fortunately there were no other customers here, so it didn't matter.
Already.
"Haha... Thank you very much..." The drunkard was drowsy, but Zhu Sunling also endured the cigarette in his hand and did not let him put it out. Anyway, all the damage can be restored after returning to the classroom and inhaling a little second-hand smoke.
What kind of.
"Are you someone who lives nearby?" Gao Ying asked.
"Hmm..." The drunkard nodded and said, "My surname is Lu, but everyone calls me Mr. Lu, so you should call me that too."
"Brother Lu is laughing." Gao Ying said with a smile: "We are all brothers in the world. It is fate that we meet here today. If Brother Lu doesn't mind, just have a drink with us!"
