Chapter 31 Reasoning Notes 1:12 Tsundere Detective (31)
However, Xia Zaoan had been dizzy for long enough this time. I looked at my watch and saw that 2 minutes had passed.

"Won't you die?" I said jokingly.

Li Xiaochong was a little panicked, and quickly put his fingers under her nostrils: "Not dead, not dead, huh... still breathing."

At this time, Xiong Yi's voice suddenly came from the crowd.

"Hey, what are you doing?" He came over and asked.

"Xia Zao'an fainted. We are waiting for her to wake up."

"Why does she often get dizzy?" Xiong Yi said with a smile, "Since I'm fine, I'll go home first. Damn, I have so much homework today."

"Hey!" I suddenly thought of something and stopped him.

"What's the matter?" He stopped in his tracks with a puzzled look on his face.

I thought about it for a while and decided to tell him.I whispered close to his ear, "The police seem to be finding Qiu Ziming soon. We have to find him before they do."

"Ah?" Xiong Yi's thick eyebrows trembled, a little dazed, "Why are you telling me?"

"I just want your help. Not only can I save Qiu Ziming this time, but maybe I can also catch the evil spirit!"

"Ah? Tell me to... catch evil spirits?" Xiong Yi frowned, his usually mighty heroic demeanor completely gone at this moment.There was a look of fear in his eyes, and he said with a slightly trembling voice, "Don't ask me to help! Although I want to save Qiu Ziming, I don't want to catch any evil spirits! People will die!"

I can't force him, after all, such a thing is dangerous.

"Well. Then you go back. But don't talk about this matter casually."

"Of course. Who do you think I, Xiong Yi?"

After Xiong Yi said it swearingly, he turned and walked towards the bus stop sign.Not far away, Xia Zao'an also woke up.

She stretched out her hand to caress the back of her neck, as if she had fallen asleep, and her voice was full of exhaustion: "Damn it, you are really hard on a worm!"

"Haha." Li Xiaochong smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I will definitely pay attention next time."

I hurriedly asked, "Are you Xia Zaoan or..."

"I'm Edison."

Hearing what he said, we all breathed a sigh of relief.Anyway, the main character finally woke up.

"I already know the general situation." He said, "If we want to find Qiu Ziming before the police, we must find the pharmacy or hospital that sold him the special medicine as soon as possible. However, I think the hospital has always reserved There are records, and there are usually surveillance videos installed. If Qiu Ziming were a ghost, he probably wouldn’t go to the hospital to buy medicine. He would choose a remote pharmacy.”

"But there are a lot of pharmacies in Guangzhou, and it is very difficult for us to find one."

"No." Edison said firmly, "the scope is not that wide. Not all pharmacies can sell that kind of special drug, and the drug can only be sold with the permission of the Food and Drug Administration. By the way, Li Xiaochong, are you still Have you heard any news?"

"Ah." He seemed to think of something, "I heard that the pharmacy that Team Mi ordered everyone to check seems to be called...Bao what forest?"

"Baozhilin?"

"Ah! That's right, that's the name."

Edison narrowed his eyes: "Baozhilin? This pharmacy has more than a dozen branches in the city. Huh... I remember that there seems to be a Baozhilin pharmacy next to the black tea house." He suddenly called me anxiously. Get up, "Where's the map?"

"What map?"

"It's that piece of paper that looks like a ghost drawing talisman!"

If he didn't say it, I almost forgot about it.I got that piece of paper by accident before Qiu Ziming was kidnapped, and the crossed circles drawn on it made me confused.I almost thought it was a scrap of paper to be thrown away.Luckily, it's still stuck in my laptop.

"Can you understand what is painted on it?" I asked.

"Of course you don't understand it just by looking at it that way."

After he took the piece of paper, he immediately looked around.There is an Internet cafe opposite the school.He led us quickly across the crosswalk.

The distribution map of Baozhilin Pharmacy was displayed on the computer.

Edison put the piece of paper on it for comparison, and had to admit that the circles on the paper were almost identical to the distribution of the pharmacy.This is a map!I thought to myself, I am afraid that only a figure like Edison can solve this mystery on paper that is more chaotic than ghost symbols.

"How did you find out?" I was curious about it.

"It's actually very simple." He said, "Look at the black line drawn on this piece of paper, it is similar to the subway line we took that day. The red line branching from the black line is very short, and a circle and a circle appear on the line." A cross should represent the black tea house and Baozhilin drugstore on Xiaobei Street."

"But, can it be deduced based on these alone?"

"It's more about the detective's intuition." He raised his finger and nodded his head, and then said, "I didn't take this piece of paper seriously at first. But when the evil ghost got involved with Qiu Ziming, I Then I felt that there was a lot of articles in this paper.”

"Then, can we find Qiu Ziming's hiding place from here?"

"Well, it's not a problem to find the pharmacy where he bought the medicine. According to my guess, it should be this one." Edison said, pointing his finger to the upper right corner of the computer screen.The pharmacy is in the same position as the symbol on the paper, "There is a cross drawn in the circle here on the paper, which must have a special meaning." He continued to reason, "And this pharmacy is located in an urban village on the outskirts of the city, where good and bad people are mixed, suitable for hiding .”

"Then let's go!"

It took almost 45 minutes to reach the street where the pharmacy was located.

No police cars or police were seen on the street, and it seemed that the police hadn't patrolled here yet.The pharmacy is near the archway.

The store is very spacious.At the entrance of the glass door, a female clerk in a pharmacy uniform is busy behind the counter to give change to customers who buy medicines.There are still a few customers in the store, carefully looking for the medicines they need in front of the shelves.The sun shines in, and the pharmacy looks extremely bright.

Seeing us coming in, another young female shop assistant came up and politely asked us what we needed.

"I'm a policeman!" Li Xiaochong showed his police school student ID card, waved it in front of the female shop assistant, and quickly put it back in his pocket guiltily.

The female clerk didn't become suspicious, she looked very surprised: "What's the matter, Sir?"

"I'm here to find out about the situation." Li Xiaochong took out Qiu Ziming's photo, "Have you seen this person?"

The female clerk looked at it carefully for a while, then shook her head: "I haven't seen it, I don't know if anyone else has." She immediately said to the female clerk at the counter, "Xiaomei, Sir asked if this person has been to our store ?”

The saleswoman named Xiaomei took a look at the photo and said, "I seem to have seen it before, but I don't seem to have it..."

"He is here to buy special medicine for cancer, the kind that can only be bought in your store." I added hastily.

The female clerk immediately remembered: "From what you said, it seems that there is such a person. However, he was wearing a mask at the time, and he seemed to have a bald head."

That's right, this is similar to the evil spirit's usual dress, except that the sunglasses and peaked cap are missing.

"He's been here?!" Edison asked impatiently.

"Yes. Because he has been here a few times and bought that kind of special medicine, so I have the impression."

"And do you know where he lives?"

While returning the photo, the female clerk shook her head: "I don't know, but I think I live near here to buy medicine here."

The problem is that there are several streets nearby, and most of the houses are rented out to migrant workers. It is not a matter of time to find the people in the photos.Moreover, Qiu Ziming would choose to live in seclusion and rarely show up.The female clerk also said that he came to buy medicine after dark.

I asked a few vendors on the street, but no one had seen Qiu Ziming.

When we got to the side of the street, we heard the sound of a police car whizzing by.Looking back, there were several police cars parked in front of Baozhilin Pharmacy in the distance.Several police officers walked into the store quickly, and one can imagine the situation afterwards.

The police have already arrived, we must find Qiu Ziming quickly.However, the vast sea of ​​people, where to find it?
At this moment, a strange figure passed by the corner of my eyes.I just felt my temples throbbing, and my eyesight seemed to be under a curse, being dragged and moved by that figure.

"Ah!" I exclaimed, my palms sweating.

That person was at the intersection not far in front of us, wearing familiar clothes, with his face invisible, walking faintly through the crowd like a black-clothed demon in the afterglow of dusk.Because his costume was so weird, passers-by couldn't help but stare sideways.Then he walked towards an old building several stories high.

Devil!

You can't go wrong!Even though his true face cannot be recognized, the cold aura emanating from him is impressive.That feeling didn't come from any superficial evidence, but from the deepest fear in my heart.

The moment that figure walked into the stairwell, he turned around.We were taken aback.The evil spirit, whose entire face was densely covered by a hat, mask and sunglasses, seemed to be smiling.No smile in sight, no laughter heard, but we just felt that chilling smile.

Li Xiaochong shouted loudly: "Catch that guy! Don't let him escape!"

He rushed out first, followed by Edison and I.It was rush hour, and there were many pedestrians on the street, but they all looked at us indifferently, as if they had nothing to do with themselves.

By the time we chased into the stairwell, the ghost had long since disappeared.The sound of his dying footsteps echoed in the stairwell.

"He's in this building!" cried Edison. "Don't let him get away! Catch him this time!"

We decided to search layer by layer.
