Chapter 484 Reasoning Notes 10: Mermaid Tears (26)
At this time, under the Handong Group building, Qiangzi and his gang of migrant workers were still standing there holding banners to demonstrate.Banners were forcibly placed across the entrance of the building, isolating the building from the outside and hindering pedestrians from entering and exiting.The migrant workers looked furious and stood up straight, even though they were sweating profusely, they remained unmoved.

"Cai Laolai! Pay back the money!"

"Cai Laolai! Pay back the money!"

Qiangzi yelled through a loudspeaker, and the migrant workers also repeated in unison.The sound was so earth-shattering that even the passers-by on the street were startled, and they all looked sideways curiously and pointed to this side.

"These poor people." He cursed disdainfully, Cai Dong obviously heard the protests downstairs, and he was naturally upset.

He is going to face a major crisis today. As for these migrant workers, he has no time to take care of them.

At this time, Lin Shan also walked to the window, quietly observing the situation below. "Ahem." Coughing, he took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of his mouth without haste. "It's a bit strange." Lin Shan said, squinting at the group of migrant workers.

"Why is it so strange?" Mikaka asked. This group of migrant workers had been demonstrating downstairs for several days, and he didn't find it strange that they ran up to make trouble that day.

"Don't you think today's demonstrations are bigger than before?"

Lin Shan's words caught Mikaka's attention. Indeed, if you listen carefully, you will find that the demonstrations of migrant workers today are louder than before, and they have become more organized, as if someone taught them to do so.

"Could it be the Shadow Stranger again?" Mikaka felt a little uneasy in his heart.In the past few days, the shadow monster has been looming, and it really lives up to its name, like a shadow, you can clearly feel its existence, but you can't catch it.

"Wait a minute... that person!" Suddenly, Lin Shan pointed down as if he had spotted some suspicious person.

"What's the matter?" Mi Kaka followed his fingers to look down, but only saw that besides the migrant workers who were demonstrating downstairs, there were passers-by with umbrellas.Those colorful umbrellas are like lotus flowers floating in the drizzle.

Mikaka didn't see anything suspicious.But Qi Mu and Lin Shan found out that there was a Peking Opera mask under a black umbrella just now.But it disappeared quickly, passing across the night sky like a meteor, fleeting.

It's the Shadow Stranger, and it's really down there.

It must be planning how to get into the 22nd floor.

Will it work?
Suddenly, Mi Kaka also pointed down and shouted: "Look, the TV station is here too!"

Sure enough, a TV station's interview car slowly stopped on the side of the road, and a cameraman and host got out of the car, as if they were going to interview these migrant workers.Could this be arranged by Shadow Stranger as well?

As long as you make things bigger, it will be more beneficial.

A beautiful female reporter stood in front of the camera: "Everyone, we are journalists from Shanghai TV Station. Today, we received reports from enthusiastic viewers that the migrant workers demonstrating downstairs in the Handong Group were planning to do violent things in order to ask for wages. move."

Then, she walked up to Qiangzi who was leading the demonstration of migrant workers with a megaphone, "Brother, are you a representative of migrant workers?"

Seeing the TV station's visit, Qiangzi couldn't help being a little nervous, and stammered, "Yes...well...well."

"So, how long have you been gathering here?" the female reporter asked again.

When Qiangzi mentioned this, he became angry and said: "We have been doing a sit-in demonstration here for more than a month. The Handong Group owes us nearly 68 million wages to 100 migrant workers, not a penny! We don't even pay for the Spring Festival Didn't go home!" As he spoke, he actually shed tears in grievance, as the saying goes, a man doesn't shed tears lightly.Qiangzi is a manly man, and he shed manly tears in front of everyone.

And from the window on the 22nd floor, Cai Dong was watching what happened downstairs.He cursed: "Bastard! Those poor bastards are talking nonsense again!"

If the TV station broadcasts the interviews with migrant workers, it will have a great impact on his reputation.Thinking of this, Cai Dong couldn't help but feel very distressed. He originally planned to pay the wages owed to the migrant workers after the transaction of Mermaid's Tears was completed.But he didn't expect that the appearance of the TV station disrupted his plan.Cai Dong was so angry that he slammed the cigar he was smoking into the ashtray.Everything that happened made him not in a good mood at all.

At this time, downstairs, the female reporter asked again: "Brother, we received reports from the audience that you are going to take drastic actions. Is it true?"

Qiangzi had received advice from the Shadow Stranger before, so when he heard the question from the female reporter, he immediately said: "Yes! If Handong Group doesn't solve the problem of wage arrears today, I will set myself on fire here! I will use death, Come and complain about our grievances.”

This is a terrible situation, and the female reporter of the TV station immediately became nervous: "Brother, don't be impulsive. Everything can be resolved."

How could Qiangzi listen?He poured gasoline on his body and immediately took out a lighter in his hand.The lit fire burned the light in his eyes and illuminated his fanatical face.Seeing his crazy behavior, the crowd of onlookers immediately exclaimed.

"Wow!" The panicked crowd retreated one after another, fearing that Qiangzi's self-immolation would affect them. Even the migrant workers were frightened by Qiangzi's crazy behavior.Uncle An persuaded him kindly: "Qiangzi, don't be impulsive, think about it, you still have a wife and children at home. If you die, how will they survive?!"

"Don't persuade me!" Qiangzi said loudly, bluffing, "If Cai Dong doesn't pay back the money today, I will show my ambition with death!"

The voice was quite loud, but others didn't know that Qiangzi had no intention of self-immolation at all.What he did was completely instigated by the Shadow Stranger, who planned to use him to create chaos.

And the 22nd floor at this time.Qi Mu and the others are also waiting.The more people gathered downstairs, the more it meant that the Shadow Stranger was about to move.

It will appear soon.Qi Mu had this thought in his heart.

After a while, Xiao Linlin pointed to the monitor and shouted: "Look!"

I saw a strange man wearing a flat hat appeared on the monitor.It appeared in the underground garage and got into the elevator.But it didn't go straight to the 22nd floor, but walked out on the [-]th floor.This guy must be planning to climb up the stairs.This immediately aroused the vigilance of everyone.Everyone raised their vigilance, pulled up their spirits, and stared nervously outside the glass door.

Time passed minute by minute.

suddenly--

"Ring, ring, ring!" The alarm rang loudly, and the piercing noise resounded in the stairwell, frantically breaking the silence of the corridor.It was clear that someone had set off the fire on purpose.The louder and louder the alarm bell echoed in everyone's eardrums, shuttling back and forth in the stairwell on the 22nd floor.The air was permeated with an unusual meaning, making it more dull and depressing.

The sound also stimulates the nerves of people behind the glass door.They looked at each other, wondering what had happened.But Qi Mu frowned and said: "Don't go out, this is its trick!"

As soon as he finished speaking, suddenly... a strange smell spread from all around, and soon spread to his nose.In the eyes of everyone, it can be clearly seen that there is mysterious white smoke curling up from the vents.

For a moment, the room on the 22nd floor was smoky, and the turbid gas quickly twisted into a ball, and it was almost impossible to see people inside.Immediately afterwards, Chi Guohui yelled in shock. She pointed to the outside of the glass door and said loudly, "Look!"

Everyone followed the sound, only to see a weird man with a Peking Opera mask standing straight outside, grinning at the corners of his mouth, and kept making strange laughter from his mouth, which made people feel cold and terrified .And in its gloved hand, it held a string of sapphire necklaces impressively.The necklace shone with a strange luster, and the iridescent pearls attracted people's attention, even under the smog, it was particularly eye-catching.

"It's Mermaid's Tears!" Mi Kaka was anxious for a while, and in a hurry, she opened the door and rushed out to chase.

Qi Mu grabbed him and warned calmly, "Don't be fooled! This glass door is not open at all, how could it come in and steal the Mermaid's Tears?"

Mikaka pointed to the string of sapphires and exclaimed excitedly: "But, it really has a string of sapphire necklaces on its hand."

Qi Mu shook his head and said slowly: "That may be fake, deliberately creating an illusion for us, so as to lure us out!"

At this time, Lin Shan woke up with a jolt, and also loudly urged Cai Dong: "Chairman Cai, hurry up and see if your mermaid tears are still there!"

Cai Dong was obedient, and hurried in to take a look, but when he came out, his face was pale, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he stammered without the slightest trace of blood, "No...it's gone...the Mermaid's Tears are gone!"

Now, there is no doubt.Xiao Linlin said firmly: "It seems that the shadow monster must have taken it away! Let's chase it quickly! If you don't chase it, then there will be no chance!"

Without any explanation, she and Mi Kaka hurriedly opened the glass door and rushed out, while Qi Mu and Lin Shan looked at each other, feeling the doubt in each other's eyes, and then followed closely behind.As soon as Qi Mu ran out, he suddenly stopped his running body, turned his head and told Fan Kun and the three of them cautiously: "Don't go out! Close the door, be careful, this is a trick of the shadow monster."
