There was silence in the bookstore. Little Lily left and Lin Mo hadn't woken up yet. Only Liao Yu and a few cat spirits were still active in the bookstore.
"What's wrong with this guy? He's been sleeping all day."
Liao Yu didn't know how many times this was the first time he checked Lin Mo's status, but every time he checked, it was the same. He couldn't wake up, couldn't push, and the sleeping Lin Mo didn't seem to have the slightest reaction to the situation outside.
"Do you want to take her to the hospital? Maybe she's sick."
I glanced out the window. There was a bright red light outside. The brilliance of the setting sun seemed to be the last burning energy of the day. In the dazzling light, the daytime was about to end.
Just when Liao Yu was about to look back, a car suddenly stopped in front of the bookstore. Two men got out of the car, looked up, and immediately met Liao Yu's eyes.
Seeing these two people, Liao Yu's eyes trembled, and he felt inexplicably uneasy. He immediately stood up and stood in front of Lin Mo, while waving to the playing kittens.
The little cat spirit seemed to be aware of Liao Yu's intention, and without hesitation, he instantly dodged and submerged into Liao Yu's body again. At the same time, the bookstore was pushed away from the outside.
"Jingle Bell"
The crisp ringtone rang in the bookstore. Liao Yu looked at the two men who entered the bookstore and became more vigilant. She glanced around, but only found the book she had put aside. She hurriedly took it in her hand as a warning.
.
"We've already put up a sign that we're closed for business, so why are people still coming in?"
Liao Yu actually regretted that she shouldn't have opened the door of the bookstore today. She should have locked the door directly.
But it was too late to say anything at this time. The two men had already entered the bookstore and were walking in her direction. It seemed that they were coming towards her.
Seeing the other party's posture, it would be impossible to say that there was no fear in her heart. Liao Yu was extremely nervous at this time. She had never seen these two men before, and they didn't look like good people.
Being by Lin Mo's side all the time, Liao Yu also knew that Lin Mo basically had no friends, so the possibility of being an acquaintance of Lin Mo was almost non-existent. Thinking of what happened to her these days, Liao Yu was very worried.
It was suspicion that the other party was one of those who wanted to kidnap her.
Gritting his teeth, he glanced at Lin Mo, who was still sleeping on the sofa behind him, and then turned to look at the small, closed room. Liao Yu felt uneasy, but also felt a little more confident.
"What do you want to do? The bookstore is closed. If you are okay, please leave quickly, or I will call the police!"
Although I often hang out with Lin Mo these days, I know that if Lin Mo deals with such a thing, he will definitely not use this method.
If someone breaks in, just fight them out.
But Liao Yu is different. After all, she was born under the red flag and grew up under the red flag. When her own safety is threatened, the first thing Liao Yu thinks of is to call the police. At this time, she is holding a mobile phone in her hand.
The number has been pressed, now just press the connect button and the call will be dialed.
"Girl, we..."
The visitors were Gu Yuan and Qi Yuan who had just come out of the Maple City Supernatural Branch and came all the way to Maple Grove Street. They saw the suspension of business sign hanging on the bookstore, but they didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, they
I'm not here to buy books.
When they saw Liao Yu in the bookstore, their eyes lit up. From the information, of course they knew that this Liao Yu was always with the bookstore owner, and this bookstore owner usually stayed in this bookstore.
among.
As investigators of the paranormal team, their level is one level higher than the person in charge of the Maple City Paranormal Branch, and in their minds, the owner of this bookstore should be just a guy with no background.
In this case, although the opponent's strength may be higher, both parties are considered equal, so it doesn't matter if they come in and place them directly.
But after coming in, I didn't see the bookstore owner, only Liao Yu. The person who spoke at this time was Gu Yuan, who wanted to ask where the bookstore owner was.
"go out!"
At this time, Liao Yu, no matter who they were, just thought that they were here to arrest her or to cause trouble.
After all, no amount of caution is too much when it comes to strangers.
Her delicate body trembled slightly, her voice had a slight vibrato, and the little hand holding the phone would fall down at any time to dial the alarm number.
Seeing Liao Yu's posture, both Gu Yuan and Qi Yuan were a little confused. They looked down at the logo on their chests and frowned. People in the supernatural team would wear a name tag in order to identify themselves. Not to mention
Everyone should recognize it, but in this supernatural circle, there are few people who don't know about the existence of the supernatural group.
But the girl in front of me actually wanted to call the police. She obviously didn't know about their existence, and she also misunderstood something.
"Okay, okay, um, we are not bad people, we have come to see your boss for something~"
It's useless to reason with someone who doesn't know anything about the situation, and there's no point in trying to show off your identity. The other person may not even know about the existence of your supernatural group, but even if you say it, the other person will think you're lying.
she.
So Gu Yuan took this opportunity to explain while retreating.
"I don't know who you are. The bookstore is closed now. You should leave quickly!"
Seeing the other party shrinking, Liao
Yu's original nervous mood recovered a little, and her nervousness dissipated a little. She stood behind the table and looked at the two people opposite her with a wary expression.
"No, girl, we really came to see your boss for something. We are the police. If you don't believe me, look at this, here are our IDs."
Gu Yuan said, took out an ID from his pocket and showed it to Liao Yu.
Seeing this certificate, Liao Yu's expression was stunned for a moment. He obviously didn't expect that these two people were actually policemen, but suddenly he felt something was wrong. If these two people were policemen, then the logo on their chests...
"No, don't lie to me. The ID may be fake. How can a policeman go out without wearing a police uniform?"
Liao Yu asked again vigilantly, her fingers trembling as she was about to press the dial button.
"The police don't wear police uniforms all day long. We are plainclothes and we are all off duty now. Is it possible that I still have to wear police uniforms after get off work?"
Throwing the certificate directly on the table in front of him, Gu Yuan once again took a step back. While expressing his goodwill, he allowed Liao Yu to check the certificate. Gu Yuan was not afraid of the other party checking it, because the certificate was originally genuine.
Because the identities of the members of the supernatural group are relatively hidden, and some actions inevitably involve dealing with ordinary people, in this case, the other party will definitely not recognize the credentials of the supernatural group. At this time, something else is needed.
There's a solution.
The identity of a police officer is very important at this time. As a public department of the country, it is responsible for protecting the safety of the people. Thanks to the efforts of countless police officers, the people also have considerable trust in the police.
This is a powerful proxy for trust, so every member of the paranormal group has a police identity for registration.
Seeing Gu Yuan retreating and throwing the ID over, Liao Yu was curious and reached out to pick up the ID. After checking it, he compared the photo on the ID with the real person. After confirming that this was him, Liao Yu felt a little agitated.
Hesitated.
She didn't know whether the certificate was real or fake, but the other party had behaved like this. It seemed unreasonable not to believe him. The little girl was a little confused for a while, not knowing what to do.
"Okay, leave it to me~"
Just where Liao Yu was struggling, a hand touched her shoulder, and a familiar voice sounded behind her head.
The originally anxious mood became abnormally calm at this moment, and she knew that the person standing behind her was the guy who had been unable to wake up.
"Qi Feng! You wake up!"
"Um"
Lin Mo nodded, but his eyes fell on Gu Yuan and Qi Yuan.
"People from the supernatural team? What are you doing here?"
