Gao Ying and Zhu Sunling are now extremely vigilant. After all, the surrounding environment is too much like a horror movie set.
There are almost no residential houses around here, and it is in a relatively remote location, relatively close to the sea. When he finally found the coffee shop, Gao Ying had already heard the sound of the tide not far away.
Gao Ying and Zhu Sunling parked their bicycles.
"Don't be too nervous." Zhu Sunling saw that Gao Ying's expression was obviously extremely alert, and said, "Relax, the exam has not officially started yet."
They locked their bikes and looked at the coffee shop across the road. The coffee shop looked like it was only 300 square meters in size, but it didn't look like there was a single customer inside. Even, there was no one in front of the cash register.
A strange breath began to spread.
Both Gao Ying and Zhu Sunling came to the conclusion almost at the same time that the possibility of Zhang Qiang missing here is very high.
"Be careful, I'll go ahead." Gao Ying walked in front of Zhu Sunling without hesitation, "Whether it's dangerous or not, I have to..."
"Machismo? Sorry, I have never felt that women should be protected by men." However, Zhu Sunling did not appreciate it: "I am not a woman now, but the person in charge of the K examination room. I hope you understand one thing I don't need your protection."
Zhu Sunling is not considered a feminist. The essence of feminist ideology in modern society is to hope that women's rights will prevail over men's rights. But she is also not egalitarian, there is no fairness in this world. People pursue fairness only because they can gain benefits through fairness. Conversely, when fairness will harm their interests, they will not think so. So feminism has developed to the present, and women do not want to be equal to men at all. .
At any time, she will not seek male protection. In times of danger, she is the only one who can protect herself.
"No, I mean..." Gao Ying didn't expect Zhu Sunling to say that. He wanted to say "I'm a man, so I should protect women", but obviously, Zhu Sunling's thoughts were completely different from his. .
"Let me repeat, I am not a woman to you now, but the person in charge of the K examination room. Let's walk together, Gao Ying."
Looking at the coffee shop in front of them, the two began to move away slowly.
After walking to the door, Gao Ying pushed open the glass door of the coffee shop.
There was no one in the coffee shop, and there were about a dozen tables in it, but at a glance, there was no one.
"Is anyone there?" Zhu Sunling said first, "Is anyone there?"
At this time, a door behind the cash register opened, and two waiters in suits came out.
Gao Ying and Zhu Sunling looked at the two of them. Gao Ying looked at them carefully. According to his feeling, they should be alive.
Zhu Sunling walked slowly towards the two people in front of the cashier. Then, she suddenly pointed to one of the waiters and said, "You... go outside the coffee shop first, you, stay here and answer my question."
When Gao Ying saw her actions, he was puzzled at first, but soon he understood the intention of Zhu Sunling's actions.
She wants to check the testimony of the two!
In the case of separating two people, if an absolute order is issued and the two testimonies are different, then it is possible that someone is the devil! Her thoughts are so meticulous!
However, Gao Ying then thought that if the waiter who went out was a devil, the devil might also have heard the conversation here. In this way, the exact same testimony can also be given.
Zhu Sunling displayed the photo on her mobile phone and asked the waiter who stayed in the coffee shop: "These people should come here for coffee during the day, have you seen them?"
The other party's answer was quite satisfactory, saying that they had met a few of them, but the testimony in response was almost the same as the text messages sent by those delinquent teenagers.
"They left after asking questions. This boy... also left with them."
Can't see any problem.
Zhu Sunling took back the phone, nodded, and said, "Now, you go out..."
She called the waiter outside the coffee shop in again and started asking him questions. However, she asked different questions from before, and every question was about Zhang Qiang. All she asked were details. And after asking a few words, let the people outside come in and the people inside go out. I repeated it a dozen times over and over again... each time I asked detailed questions about different aspects.
And in the end... On the issue of details, there is no problem. The answers of the two waiters were basically the same. As for some inconsistencies, Zhu Sunling was not surprised. After all, it would be abnormal if two different people gave exactly the same testimony on such detailed details. Among the detectives, all witnesses can tell every detail of every person they met, even if they met two or three months ago, and they can always provide important clues to the detective. There is this kind of drama. In real life, it is impossible for people to remember every detail of what happened even an hour ago, even if it is a very impressive thing. And memorizing this thing, it is easy to generate some self-imagining and processing in people's subjective consciousness.
"So that's how it is..." Gao Ying understood. In fact, what Zhu Sunling wanted was for the two people's testimony to be completely consistent without any differences. Then she could be sure that one of the two people was really a devil or both It's the devil.
Looking at the deserted appearance of the coffee shop behind him, Gao Ying added another question: "Your... business doesn't seem to be going well?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Sunling immediately said, "Answer his question truthfully."
The waiter immediately replied: "Our coffee shop is too remote. The only advantage is that the rent is very cheap. However, the business has not been very good."
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the coffee shop: "What's going on? What are you doing standing outside?"
Gao Ying and Zhu Sunling looked over immediately. Outside the coffee shop, there was a man in ragged clothes, with hair over his shoulders, and a beard. The man looked to be only thirty years old, but his unkempt appearance made him look a little old. Moreover, he was holding a bottle of wine in his hand and a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
The man pushed the door open and saw Gao Ying and Zhu Sunling at a glance.
"This is an indoor public place." Gao Ying looked at the cigarette dangling from his mouth with some dissatisfaction, "Please don't smoke here, sir."
"Hmm..." The middle-aged man reeked of alcohol, with a bottle in his hand, walked to the cashier, looked at the waiter, and said, "Bring the drink list, I'm almost done with this bottle."
Gao Ying originally thought that Zhu Sunling would use orders to restrain the man, but she didn't do that. Instead, she quietly observed the scene.
"Forget what happened just now." Zhu Sunling said to the waiter, "Go and receive this guest."
Then, she walked out of the coffee shop and called the customer in.
"Talk to this drunkard. People like this kind of bastard may sometimes have better information." Gao Ying looked at the drunkard in the coffee shop and said, "This kind of person has no business and wanders around all day. I like the look of causing trouble. Maybe it will be easier to know some news circulating in the town."
"Well, I have the same intention." Zhu Sunling and Gao Ying had exactly the same idea.
The two walked into the coffee shop again, at this time the waiter had already handed over the drink order to the alcoholic. At this time, he was still holding a cigarette in his hand, and after drinking the half bottle of wine to the bottom, he said: "Well... just come to such a bottle of wine... Hurry up!"
"Sir, we don't have a whole bottle of wine here..."
"Stop talking nonsense! Don't want to do business?"
Zhu Sunling walked up and said, "Just give him a bottle of wine. We'll pay the bill."
Gao Ying understood, took out the money and put it in front of the cash register.
Zhu Sunling didn't plan to use absolute orders first. The shortcoming of this ability is that it can only ask fixed questions, and the other party can only answer mechanically within the scope of the questions. The problem is, she doesn't know what this alcoholic knows, and she may not be able to find out anything just by asking him about abnormal events. It's better to get him more drunk, maybe he can tell some more important information.
Then, Gao Ying, Zhu Sunling, and the drunkard sat at the same table. The image of this alcoholic doesn't match the overall atmosphere of the coffee shop, but fortunately there are no other customers here, so it doesn't matter.
"Haha... Thank you very much..." The alcoholic was drunk, and Zhu Sunling endured the cigarette in his hand and did not let him put it out. Anyway, all damage can be recovered after returning to the classroom. What is smoking a little second-hand smoke? .
"Are you someone who lives nearby?" Gao Ying asked.
"Hmm..." The drunkard nodded and said, "My surname is Lu, well, but everyone calls me Old Gui Lu, so you can call me that too."
"Brother Lu is laughing." Gao Ying said with a smile, "We are brothers all over the world. It is fate that we meet here today. Brother Lu doesn't mind, so just have a drink with us!"
