Chapter 31 Crossroads

Simonka finally succeeded in taking Arnold around the hospital.

"It doesn't smell like a prisoner?"

As a result, Simonka couldn't help but fall into silence, wondering whether his intuition was wrong.

Although detectives in most cases see through the truth by integrating various information, in order to see only one truth among the many messy information, what is needed is some kind of flash of inspiration.

Arnold had already checked carefully, and it would only be a waste of time to stay in the hospital. However, before leaving, Simonka once again walked into [Gu Ze]'s ward, planning to quietly install a surveillance camera here.

He prefers the various methods of detectives, without too many worries and rules.

"Well, just now, was there this thing... left by the eldest lady of Huoyun City?"

At this time, Simonka went to see a palm-sized gift box on the small table next to the hospital bed. But Simonka remembered that when Red Boy arrived, he only carried flowers and a cake box.

Arnold suddenly barked twice.

"The smell of another person?" Simonka's eyes were slightly stunned. The next moment, he said in a deep voice: "Arnold!"

Immediately, one person and one dog rushed out of the ward. As they walked quickly in the corridor and passed the nurse's station, Simonka picked up the visit record book.

There is no record of visits in the book. The last person registered was Hong Hai who arrived before. In front of Hong Hai was his private relationship with Xiao Luo.

Following the scent, one person and one dog soon arrived at the underground parking lot. Finally, Arnold stopped in an area for shared motorcycles.

"Can I still keep up?" Simonka couldn't help but frowned.

Although the sense of smell of spirit beasts is powerful, it is not omnipotent... Smell, unless it is a special substance, will completely disappear in the air sooner or later. The longer the time, the remaining smell will naturally fade away, and it will be easier to distinguish it from others.

A mixture of smells.

Arnold yelled twice casually: The smell was still very clear and I could follow it.



Riding a shared scooter home is still too luxurious.

Teacher Xiaohu finally chose to stop the motorcycle at a place with city buses.

He opened his wallet, took a look at a few scattered coins and two crumpled small-denomination bills inside, and immediately stood up with a strategy that was beyond words.

"There's still a whole week until school pays the wages..." Teacher Xiaohu sighed, "If I had known I wouldn't be cool today... I shouldn't have taken the initiative to pay the bill at the Forest Restaurant, okay..."

He plucked up the courage to open his wallet again, and then once again leaned back without mercy... The moment he leaned back, he saw a guy wearing a brown bear puppet suit not far away, who was sitting

He sat on a chair to cool off.

The man was already soaked with sweat, and his eyes were black. As a laborer, Teacher Xiaohu could tell almost at a glance that this guy in a puppet suit handing out leaflets must have not rested for several days and nights.

.

Ordinary people can also practice the exercises. With the physical optimization brought by the exercises, regular high-intensity continuous work has gradually become normal.

Although [Canglan]'s technology has been advancing at the same time, and various automated tools are changing with each passing day, manpower still has incomparable advantages and is cheap.

Suddenly, the flyer man who was enjoying the cold suddenly fell down.

Teacher Xiaohu was startled, and hurriedly walked to the side of the flyer and helped him up, "Brother, how are you...brother?"

But the man's whole body was twitching, with tears and runny nose running down his face. Teacher Xiaohu couldn't help but frown. Not only did this man look extremely tired, he was even as skinny as a stick...

Well, it turns out he is an addict.

I guess he's addicted, so I plan to make some money... But usually if a guy like this wants to get money, he will only dig into the things written in the punishment. Like this, he actually plans to earn it through working, which can be regarded as self-improvement.

...a breath of fresh air among addicts?

"Are you dead? If not, stand up! If you don't finish ten hours, don't expect to get paid!"

He must be the employer... Teacher Xiaohu frowned, and what he saw was an aunt with her hands on her hips, a fierce look on her face, and wearing the uniform of a hot pot restaurant clerk...

Teacher Xiaohu frowned, stood up suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "Sister, he is already like this, are you going too far?"

Teacher Xiaohu's sudden move made the aunt with her hands on her hips startled, and then she said angrily: "What! Are you going to stand up for this guy? What do you want to do! Can you try to touch me?"

But I saw Teacher Xiaohu suddenly put on a smiling face, "Sister, what I mean is, he is like this, he can't continue to work no matter what... So, why don't you invite me?"

"What?"

"Invite me!" Teacher Xiaohu said sternly: "I can endure hardships very much, and today's flyers have not been distributed. Sister, you are also in a dilemma, aren't you?"

The clerk looked at the well-dressed man in front of her suspiciously... No matter how you look at it, he looks like a member of the elite class, "You don't... want to play tricks on me, do you?"

But Teacher Xiaohu took off his coat, pinched his sleeves, and bulged his biceps, "Sister, don't look at me like this. I usually work on construction sites. Today I have to work

It’s a feast, so that’s why you’re dressed like this!”

The clerk glanced at the guy who was still shivering and twitching on the ground, frowned, "I told you first, you won't get a penny until the leaflets are distributed... You'd better distribute them to me seriously.

, don’t think about just throwing things in the trash can and that’s it! I’ll keep watching!”

"No, no, no!" Teacher Xiaohu said quickly, "Here, give me the flyers and I'll hand them out!"

"You should put on the mascot's clothes first." The clerk said calmly.

"Okay." Teacher Xiaohu nodded: "I'll go get it with you. Where is it?"

"Isn't this already there?" The clerk pointed directly at the guy on the ground: "Don't bother, just take off this guy's clothes and you can wear them."

"this……"

"What? Dislike it? Didn't you say that you can endure any hardship?"

"No, right away! Right now!" Teacher Xiaohu nodded quickly, thought for a moment, picked up the twitching guy, walked to an alley next to him, put the man on the ground, and muttered

Said: "Brother, I'm sorry."

Taking a deep breath, Teacher Xiaohu pinched his nose, took off the mascot's puppet suit, and put it on himself.



"What...is this this car?"

In a shared scooter area not far from the bus station, Arnold was parked in front of a certain shared scooter, and then nodded to Simonka.

Simonka looked around at this time and muttered: "Do you plan to change to the bus here... He seems to be very careful and always deliberately goes to crowded places."

At this time, Arnold lowered his head, pressed against the floor, and began to move forward slowly, with Simonka following all the way... After a while, Arnold's nose hit the sole of a furry foot.

It subconsciously raised its head, only to see a huge black shadow in front of it... The moment a big brown bear appeared, Arnold's face changed, he covered his nose with both hands, and ran aside and retched.

"Um...sir, is your pet okay?"

Ximenka opened his mouth, then shook his head and said: "It will be fine later...its nose is better."

"Um, sir, do you want to come and have a look at our store? If there are three people traveling together, one person is free of charge!" From [Big Brown Bear]'s hand, a leaflet with a cash coupon and a discount was handed over.

Simonka blinked and asked curiously: "Are pets also exempt?"

"It only requires three people to go together." [Big Brown Bear] mascot said: "Or... you can find two more friends to come over?"

"Okay, let me think about it." Simonka nodded, took the flyer casually, and then carried Arnold forward...According to Arnold's sense of smell, there are still hospital signs nearby. Give it to [Gu Ze

】The mysterious taste of the gift.

It must be hidden somewhere here...or perhaps, it is being observed somewhere.

Simonka seemed casual, but his eyes were constantly searching among the crowd.

"Sir, Miss, do you want to try our hot pot restaurant? If three people travel together, one person is free of charge!"

"Are you stupid? Didn't you see that I only have one girlfriend?"

"What, do you still want two girlfriends?!"

"No...no, no!"

After going round and round again, Simonka hugged Arnold and sat casually on a bench on the street. He looked aimlessly at the mascot that was working hard to distribute leaflets, and suddenly sighed.

Said: "Life is really tiring..."

Arnold rubbed his nose and called out twice weakly: the smell was almost gone, there was too much traffic here.

"Let's go back to the hospital and check the surveillance to see if we have found anything." Ximenka thought for a while and said, "Well... is it already this point?"

The clouds were burning, and the sky was already dark... Ximenka had a pair of dead fish eyes, and his mind was empty... Suddenly, he picked up his spare phone and called Ma Private.

"Lao Ma, are you interested in eating hot pot tonight? Three people are traveling together, one person is free of charge... Is it just right to call out the rising star of your police force?"

"Hey, how did you know I planned to have hot pot tonight?"

"Why don't you come? If you do, I'll go up and start the show."

"Wait for me, I'll come over right away, just in time to talk about the case... I also have some new discoveries here. Where is Xiao Luo? Is he still with you?"

"I asked him to send Hongbai back."

"Oh, give it to Miss Honghai...what did you say?!!!"





The shared scooter was parked outside a supermarket.

At this time, Xiao Luo was leaning next to the motorcycle... In his palm was a pink paper crane. He looked at it interestingly, and then slowly took it apart.

Restored it to its original appearance.

I saw that on the creased paper, there were some special symbols written with red paint, like ghostly symbols.

"These seem to be some magic symbols in the immortal civilization."

The maid's voice came to his ears.

Xiao Luo... Boss Luo showed a smile, casually took the shopping bag from the maid's hand, and then hung it on the handle of the motorcycle, "I'm done shopping."

"Today's ingredients are not very fresh, I just bought some." The maid said softly.

Boss Luo blinked, then chuckled and said: "Beautiful lady, may I have the honor to take you home? This is my car."

He came here specially.

The maid also blinked, then raised her palm and let him hold it naturally.

The shared scooter started slowly. Boss Luo drove safely all the way, walking on green lights and stopping on red lights, without missing any intersection.

Before a red light, a shared scooter and a sports car stopped together... The man wearing a thick gold chain in the sports car suddenly looked out.

He seemed to see that the beauty of his youth was mainly about the true beauty of people.

In just twenty seconds of red light, the man in the sports car watched the first half of his life like a revolving door. Until at some point, the shared scooter drove away, but the sports car still stopped in place.

move.

"Why aren't you leaving yet? Let's go?"

The man seemed to wake up from a dream, glanced at the heavily made-up middle-aged woman in the passenger seat, nodded, and said quietly: "Okay, Aunt Hai..."

He has gone far and cannot go back, just like the motorcycle that has gone far before the crossroad, carrying the dreams and beauty of his youth.

Must be happy!

The man took a deep breath and suddenly stepped on the accelerator. I will also live a good life!

"Aunt Hai, I want to feed you tonight!"

"devil!"





Ma Shir was looking for Ximenka in the busy hot pot restaurant and raised his hand to signal.

Ma Privateer hurriedly came over and sat down anxiously, "What, haven't you contacted Xiao Luo yet?"

"I don't have his contact information?"

"..." Ma Zir couldn't help but rub the center of his eyebrows and comforted himself: "With Xiao Luo's hand, there are not many people in Huoyun City who can threaten him."

"So you don't have his contact information?" Simonka rolled his eyes.

The two uncles stared at each other, and then at the same time they thought of a very serious problem. They couldn't make enough for three people to eat!

“You pay the bill!”*2!





"This is your wages for today!"

After the clerk's aunt got some saliva on her fingers, she counted some cash and handed it to Teacher Xiaohu. However, the clerk's aunt took away three more cash from the counted cash before handing it over.

Teacher Xiaohu didn't say anything. After taking it silently, he thanked me and said, "This is my phone number. If you need to send flyers, you can contact me!"

"Don't you see, you have a strong working ability, young man." The clerk's aunt casually squeezed the muscles on Teacher Xiaohu's arm, "You have a good figure, even if your appearance is a bit worse... Obviously when you were wearing a suit before, you looked like a human or a dog.

Something like that.”

"Then shall I go?" Teacher Xiaohu smiled coquettishly, took off the soaked puppet suit and handed it back, then found a random reason and finally declined the invitation of the clerk's aunt for a drink.

He put his wages into his wallet, and this time he finally didn't have to retreat tactically.

It's hard to find a part-time job at night, and I'm afraid there's still no chance at the Xiaolin construction site... Why don't you look forward to the model audition tomorrow?

Models and stuff always feel so unreal.

Teacher Xiaohu casually hung the clothes on his arms, breathed a sigh of relief, and started to leave. However, he suddenly stopped and looked subconsciously at the alley he was passing by.

Teacher Xiaohu pondered for a moment, finally sighed and walked into the alley.

In the alley, the addict in the evening was still lying down, even weaker... Teacher Xiaohu bit him and then directly carried him up.

After a while, Teacher Xiaohu carried the man on his back to a rescue station on the street that provided assistance to addicts, and placed the man in front of the rescue station.

"You've done half the work... I'm not taking advantage of you in vain." Teacher Xiaohu took out half of his salary from his wallet and stuffed it into the unconscious man's pocket, "Just take care of yourself."





"What are you looking at?"

The two middlemen were scalding fresh beef, and Simonka was looking at his phone while eating.

"I asked a nurse in the hospital to send me the surveillance video." Simenka said casually: "While I was investigating, someone quietly appeared in [Gu Ze]'s ward and dropped a gift."

"Who is it?" Ma stopped talking immediately.

"I didn't find it. I followed you all the way here and lost it." Ximenka shook his head, and then a man's figure suddenly appeared on the screen of his mobile phone, walking towards [Guze]'s room, "It's actually him?"

"Who?" Lao Ma grabbed the phone and saw a figure from behind.

Simonka pondered and said: "Tony, the owner of the hair salon...it turned out he was the one who put the gift."

In the video, the figure from behind was holding a small gift box in his hand.
