As he got closer, the signal source on the display began to beep.
There was an endless stream of people passing by, with sweet smiles on their faces. They didn't know that someone around them had lost their life, nor did they know how lucky they were just now...
He walked straight into the game hall without any need for navigation confirmation. Xu Zhe spotted the dazed man with just a glance.
The game coins scattered around were being snatched by a group of children, but the man didn't even say a word to stop them.
"That's him..." Xu Zhe quickly stepped forward and carefully examined the man in the cockpit. His expression became extremely solemn. "His soul was taken away, and it was taken out very cleanly. He was dead before he realized it... The whole process might have been just a passing moment..."
"I found it too." Haozi couldn't check the level that Xu Zhe checked, but he could still do a body search. It didn't take much effort to take out the phone locked by the computer from the shirt pocket. "The guy threw away the phone, and the clue is gone."
"What should we do now?" Wu Qian asked softly.
"Let's call the police..." Xu Zhe picked up two game coins and sat in the racing game cabin on the other side. "Send someone to move this living corpse back to the headquarters. Now we can only wait for that guy to call again."
"Will the murderer look for us again?" Wu Qian was a little skeptical.
"Yes. Those arrogant mice who think they have everything under control will feel uncomfortable even if they win if they don't tease the cat." After throwing in the crystal clear game coins one by one, Xu Zhe began to "wait".
The clock was like an inverted hourglass, passing by every second. As the hour hand turned, Wu Qian's heart became more and more nervous.
If this is really a game, winning or losing doesn't matter...
But when the first victim is found, this game is no longer a game, but a contest between the killer and the police, and the winner and loser depend on human lives.
Sometimes, Wu Qian really admired Xu Zhe's calm attitude towards life and death. But Haozi on the side had a frown on his face, actively typing on the computer, and no one knew what he was busy with.
Only he was playing a meaningless game, drifting for each turn, as if all this was really just a game, and the game was always in his own hands.
The exact time was 1245 minutes. When the second game was halfway through, Xu Zhe's cell phone rang again.
Without even looking at the number, Xu Zhe knew who was calling.
"You called me so late, I thought you had already escaped to Mars." Xu Zhe did not look nervous at all, answering the call with one hand and still holding the steering wheel with the other.
"Haha, now that I've won, it's time to get my reward, right?" The player laughed, enjoying the pleasure of victory. "If you lose again, I won't send you a message until 20 minutes later. Are you ready?"
"Wait for me..." Without continuing the conversation, Xu Zhe jumped up from his seat and rushed out the door.
"What happened to him?" Haozi asked Wu Qian beside him before he could react. But Wu Qian was just as confused as he was, but she reacted much faster than him and rushed out with Xu Zhe.
"Are all of you so rude?" After closing the notebook, Haozi followed him even though he didn't understand.
Putting force on his feet and running with all his strength, Xu Zhe knew better than anyone what he was doing and where he was going...
The clear sound of waves and the unique whistle of the ferry on the phone just now were telling me where that damn guy was.
The Yangtze River Wharf closest to Wangyang Shopping Mall is only about 500 meters away, but unfortunately it has been blocked by the car accident.
The crowds in the city center are even worse than the floods...
Xu Zhe deeply experienced the population density of this megacity in central China.
On one side of the street, away from the crowded roads, a group of kids were performing street stunts. Skateboards, bicycles, rollers, all became tools for showing off.
"Get out of the way!" Xu Zhe, who was rushing over, warned, but no one seemed to understand. They only felt a black shadow passing by.
"Yeah?! My skateboard!" a child shouted, his feet empty.
"Lend it to me!" Before she could even relax, a figure jumped up. Carrying a huge backpack, Wu Qian sat on a silver-white bicycle and pedaled to catch up. The owner looked at the empty land in front of him blankly, speechless.
"These guys, why can't they be gentle?" He walked up to a child with a sigh. Haozi was much more gentle when taking the bicycle and even showed his police badge.
At the same time, a ferry was passing by on the Yangtze River.
As a large city under construction, more people choose magnificent bridges and fast cars as the means of crossing the river.
Many have forgotten the slow and old ferry...
But ships have their own unique charm, the cool breeze from the river and the surging river water under the ship.
Although it does not have the leisurely and comfortable feeling described in the poem, it has the magical power to calm people's mood.
Leaning against the metal guardrail, watching the river gulls skimming across the river, catching their food. The player put away his phone and began to think seriously...
"Who will be the food of this time?" He turned around with a smile, looking at the bustling crowd on the boat. The countdown hourglass made death seem closer...
On the bench in front of me, there was only a couple cuddling together. It seemed that they didn't fully realize the coldness of the river breeze. They were wearing short sleeves and leaned against each other tightly, warming each other's bodies.
They look like just 17 or 18 years old kids who are just beginning to fall in love, but they are enjoying this short-lived sweetness and happiness.
Yes, compared with the adult love built with money, this love also contains the embrace of virginity, which seems more real and trustworthy.
"It's them..." The corners of his cold mouth curled up slightly, and the player's smile became ferocious.
