"What is this?" I couldn't help reading the words above.
When the man heard this, he was also stunned, took the watch over, lowered his head and scorned, and said in astonishment, "What and what? Isn't this an ordinary pocket watch? What's the matter? Old Xu, are you sleepy?"
"I… "
I was holding that pocket watch, and honestly, I was confused.
"Hurry up." I urged the man in a daze.
"Hurry up and do what?" I was stunned: "Who are you again?"
"I'm your assistant Xiao Gao, aren't we here to investigate the case quickly?" That Xiao Gao seemed to feel that I said something stupid, so he couldn't help but walked over and touched my face: "Old Xu, are you okay? Are you confused?"
"Investigate the case?" I murmured, suddenly remembering the sentence someone said when I entered the machine before crossing-"Situation to find people".
What does it mean to find someone in a situation... Is it "solving a case", then what does it mean to solve a case
I was thinking, when I heard a knock on the door outside, Xiao Gao hurriedly walked over to open the door, and saw a man in his thirties standing in front of him, wearing golden glasses and a fat body. He held his glasses and arched his hands. Said: "Excuse me, Mr. Xu, are you ready? The captain of the game has already urged you."
"Oh, we're here." Xiao Gao hurriedly said, turning back and calling: "Old Xu, Old Xu, come on, people are waiting for us."
I really wanted to "what are you waiting for", but after thinking about it, I couldn't ask any more. I just nodded, looked at the embrace, and saw that it said "6 hours and 10 minutes before the time of destruction."
"It seems that this pocket watch is for reminding myself." I put my arms in my arms, looked up at the window, and recalled that the time I threw the bomb was about ten o'clock in the morning, so it was early in the morning. Time, there is no bottom in the darkness outside, and occasionally there are stars flickering, as if blinking at me.
time is limited.
Thinking of this, I hurriedly stood up, walked to the door and said: "You are here..."
"I'm Manager Chen here." Manager Chen helped his glasses and opened his mouth with a smile: "Why? I won't recognize you after a while?"
I smiled, did not speak, Xiao Gao urged behind his back: "Manager Chen, what did their captain say?"
"Oh." Manager Chen said hurriedly: "That's it. They will have a game tomorrow afternoon. What is going on? They decide whether the kid wants to participate in the game. Their captain is also in a hurry. This does not urge me to come to you quickly. , I have no choice but to let you come overnight without letting you rest. I'm really sorry."
"It's okay." Xiao Gao said from behind: "Old Xu took a nap just now, and it's not too tired. Where is their captain, let's go."
"Okay." Manager Chen nodded and faced us, leading the way first, and I followed Xiao Gao closely.
The hotel is a four-star setting with carpets underneath and oil paintings on both sides of the corridor. Manager Chen led us to the end of the corridor and pushed open the door of the room at the top. The door was concealed, and there was a A large living room with smoke and smoke. There is a round table in the middle. There are seven or eight people sitting around. The man headed by him stands at the door. He is about forty years old. He has half-white hair and is smoking a cigarette. : "You can come."
He said, turning around and beckoning: "Xu Yi, come here, tell me what was going on at the time?"
With that said, I saw a young man coming over not far away, wearing a blue sportswear, about fifteen or sixteen years old, slender, fair-skinned, beautiful, but somewhat frown. He walked over at this time. He raised his head and glanced at us, then lowered his head, tears suddenly flowed down.
"Oh, you are talking." The captain stomped his feet and said: "You will understand the matter soon. There will be a game tomorrow. If your side is unfavorable, the game will be over."
When the boy heard this, he hurriedly raised his head and said: "Mr. Jiang, I...I..." He said, tears fell again.
"Okay, then, Student Xu, come inside and speak slowly." Seeing the large number of people in the living room, Xiao Gao pointed to the bedroom door hurriedly.
When the captain heard this, he nodded hurriedly: "Yes." He pushed the door open himself, and said, "Quick, Xu Yi, come in quickly, and honestly clarify what happened yesterday. If it doesn't happen to you Now, tomorrow will be able to compete too."
Xu Yi nodded, looked up at us, and walked in quickly.
Seeing that I hesitate, Xiao Gao said hurriedly, "Old Xu, go in."
I said "Oh" and looked up at the living room. There were many people sitting at the round table in the living room, two or three adults. The others were all wearing school uniforms. They were probably high school students. There were a lot of luggage in the room. There were table tennis rackets scattered all over the floor, and according to the "match" that the captain kept saying, it seemed that they were a table tennis team.
"Old Xu."
Xiao Gao had entered the bedroom at this time and was calling me inside. I nodded and walked in quickly. The bedroom is very large, like a dormitory inside, with a big shop connected to it, but there is no one. Xu Yi The guy sitting next to the door lowered his head, while Xiao Gao sat opposite, beckoning to me.
I walked by, just sat down, and suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly shouted outside: "Captain, come over, too."
Xiao Gao gave me a surprised look.
"You can't just listen to the child's words." I whispered.
Xiao Gao nodded suddenly. At this time, the captain outside had already walked in, turned back and closed the door, sat next to Xu Yi, rubbed his hands and said, "Two Mr. Xu, you can ask."
Xiao Gao hurriedly took out the recording pen and turned it on. I moved everything, only looking up at Xu Yi.
"Xu Yi, come on, talk about it, talk about how Li Heng died." The captain stabbed Xu Yi.
Xu Yi shuddered when he heard the word "death", bit his lip, and looked up at us for a long while, then said slowly; "Li Heng and I are very close friends. We study in the same class on weekdays. We are also partners in the team. We are going to participate in the competition tomorrow, so yesterday evening, Li Heng told me that he wanted to practice with me on the roof... unexpectedly something went wrong."
"Wait." I hurriedly intercepted Xu Yi's words: "Why go to the top of the building to practice?"
Xu Yi bit her lip when she heard this, and looked up at the captain next to her.
The captain groaned and smiled bitterly at us: "This is a hotel, it is not convenient for people to come and go, but our competition schedule is also very tight, so I suggested that the children go to the top of the building to practice."
When Xu Yi heard this, he seemed to be encouraged, and nodded: "At that time, we had just finished eating, and the other teammates hadn't come up yet. Li Heng explained that we were the first game in this game, so we first Go up and practice, I think it makes sense, and I followed up, and then we started to practice patting..."
"and then?"
Xiao Gao asked.
"Then..." Xu Yi suddenly lowered his head when he heard this, biting his lip desperately, rubbing his pants with both hands, seeming a little uneasy.
"That's it." The captain said sharply: "Life is a matter of life, please explain it honestly."
