The Last Gentleman

  Chapter 649 Chasing the Murder in the Night

  【Yuyuan County Police Station】

   It is reasonable to say that at night time, only a small number of police officers will be on duty.

   But the police station here is brightly lit, all the police officers are working hard, and none of them is absent... It seems that they are resting more during the day.

  There is a striking large shrine in the lobby of the police station.

  All kinds of calls come in at night, and the police officers will screen the 'valuable' information from them and report upwards.

  One of the calls was from the collection station of "By the way", saying that the courier was stolen during transportation, and the total value of the lost items was about 20,000.

  This kind of theft case involving a relatively small amount of money is generally regarded as a "low-level case" and ordinary police officers take time to make a record and deal with it as much as possible.

  However, due to the cooperative relationship between Yuyuan Express and the Yuyuan County Police Station, all express delivery by the police station is free.

  Considering this, the ordinary police officer who answered the phone still reported the incident and wrote the words 'by the way' in the remarks column. Anyway, it doesn't matter if the above chooses not to deal with it.

   Half an hour later.

  Two police detectives in black windbreakers arrived at the pick-up station. It was the first time that the staff were stunned when they saw the police officers in such attire. When they were about to lead them to the stolen truck,

  One of them seemed to smell something and was already standing behind one of the trucks.

   Reach out and touch a little viscous substance from the surface of a certain express, stick it to the nostril and sniff carefully,

   "The smell of fish... octopus? Not from our place, wait a minute."

  The police detective jumped into the carriage and closed the two iron doors again. It took a while before he came out and made a conclusion.

   "The suspects entered the compartment at 17:01 while the train was running. If I guessed correctly, what they stole should only be clothes and communication equipment. The possibility of fugitives from other places is more than 90%.

   It took a long time to escape to our county seat. If you don’t have an ID card, you should choose an irregular hotel to live temporarily, or live directly in the bridge hole area.

   It is also possible to choose to steal supermarkets or steal money.

   Let the bureau immediately follow up our investigation results, raise the importance level of this case to level II, mobilize 30% of the police force and open all permissions to conduct a comprehensive investigation.

   Be sure to locate the fugitives before 5:00 tomorrow, otherwise they will most likely leave our place. "

  Another police detective asked softly: "For fugitives, do we need to check with the nearby prison institution?"

"No... If those guys find out, they won't tell us about the fugitives, and they'll even arrange for some troublesome guys to come to us. If they don't get caught later, they will bring a lot of trouble to the county. .”

  …

  Late night, urban village, small hotel, self-remodeling double suite.

   It has been three hours since the 'family of three' checked in.

  Fangfang was locating along the way, and she had been locked up in the hospital for more than a year, and she was quite tired when she finally escaped, and even fell asleep on William's back.

  The cubicle was completely given over to Xiaofang, and she was allowed to have a good rest. In William's view, Xiaofang's ability and special background would be of great help to their follow-up actions.

  He and Catherine stayed in the main room. The plank bed was fairly big but a bit old, and it would creak when sitting on it or turning over.

  After taking a shower, Catherine lay on the bed wearing only a loose sweater, her eyes were wide open, and she quickly scraped the screen of her phone with her fingers.

  When she first came into contact with things like 'mobile phones', she would grow an octopus tentacle from between her legs and feet to pat William, asking how to use it and the function of the software. Now she is completely familiar with it.

   After being recommended to download a video software called PollPoll, I was completely immersed in it.

  ka~ The guest room door was opened.

   It wasn't someone else who came in, but William who was out shopping, carrying a large bag of necessary daily necessities in his hand.

  He did not steal, but bought it with money.

   As for money, it is easy to collect,

Before going to the supermarket, William found a main road with a fairly good flow of people. Wearing a brand-name suit and fluent standard British English, he pretended to be a foreign businessman who came to investigate local projects and wanted to get a taxi fare because his wallet was stolen. Supported by many well-wishers.

   I easily scraped together a few hundred dollars and bought a lot of useful things, mainly food.

  Inside the hotel,

   Two bowls of Braised Beef Noodles with Braised Eggs are soaked quickly,

  Catherine, who was watching the video, was immediately attracted by this scent that she had never smelled before. During this time, she had been trapped in the hospital and injected nutrients, without eating for several days.

  The scent of instant noodles constantly stimulated Catherine's salivary glands, and the sheets were soaked a lot.

   "Although it's not as good as the food in the circus, it still has a special taste! It smells so good. By the way, this kind of food should be very expensive. William, did you just rob passers-by?"

   "Rooting is not enough. It is not a good thing to be too eye-catching. I bought things through serious means. Hurry up and let's eat and sleep, and leave this county directly tomorrow morning."

  Catherine said casually while slurping the noodles: "Is there a need to be so vigilant? Isn't it already far away from the hospital?"

   "When I first went upstairs, I saw no one at the counter, so I quietly approached the boss's residence, and took a peek through the slightly opened door. Guess what?

  In the small room illuminated by red candles, the entire family of the hotel owner is kneeling and worshiping the shrine, their whole bodies twitching like spasms.

  One must stay awake tonight, will you sleep or should I sleep? "

"I don't sleep~ I've had enough sleep in that hospital, I'll continue playing with my phone after eating this bowl of noodles! It's really interesting, I want to bring this thing back to the old world, and never It's going to be boring."

   "Okay, then I'll sleep~ Catherine, don't be too nervous, remember to wake me up if there is any abnormality."

   "Sleep with you."

  William slept sideways on the side of the wooden bed. He wanted to take the opportunity to recharge his energy and improve his action efficiency tomorrow, but he couldn't fall asleep as his eyelids closed.

  Too many questions are floating in the brain,

  There is a certain difference between the world that William is currently experiencing and the world in Yi Chen's memory. It is obviously much darker. Every household has a shrine and everyone has a dark side.

  I don't know whether it was Yi Chen who changed his memories during his lifetime, or because what he experienced was just a real nightmare.

   Another very important point is how to go back? Back to the old world, back to the circus.

  At present, the only way William can think of is to let Catherine regain her dream ability, and use the same method to create a dream passage back to the old world.

   But how to restore the ability is a new problem.

  『And the strangest point,

  Because the death-related abilities were not carried over, the independent consciousness of "Yi Chen" also ceased to exist. If I can find the statue of the **** of death that Yi Chen worshiped before his death, is it possible to reawaken the ability of death?

   Wait until you are fully familiar with this world and are not being tracked, try to go to the orphanage~ As long as you find the statue of death, you may be able to solve your doubts.

   Of course, it would be equally feasible to find the same Death Idol without going to the orphanage. 』

  William doesn't have much obsession with the "orphanage", his personality has been completely separated by Yi Chen,

   Just when William was thinking about various problems quickly, wow!

  A thunder and lightning flashed outside the window, and the pattering rain also hit the window,

  Cool wind mixed with a little rain fell on his body. William opened his eyes and found that a window had been blown open, and the old lock could not be locked at all.

  He got up and walked to the window sill, and when he was about to reach out and pull the window back,

  Looking down the stairs,

  In the passage of the urban village where the sewage flows and rats and insects scurry everywhere, there are two mysterious people wrapped in black leather trench coats, which seem very inconsistent here.

  Maybe it's a lighting problem, their faces can't be seen clearly.

  The most conspicuous thing is the leather shoes worn by the two of them, which are at least fifty-five yards or more, which is a bit exaggerated.

  William did not cast more prying eyes, nor did he continue to close the window, but stepped back away from the window sill area to avoid being noticed by the other party.

   "Catherine, prepare to withdraw! We seem to be being targeted."

   As soon as the voice fell,

  Tat-tat-tat~ The sound of heavy leather shoes had already sounded in the corridor, and soon stopped in front of the guest room door.
