Henry: "Maybe we should call the police. Whoa, no signal here, what a great place to have a birthday."
Everyone: "..."
Henry: "It looks like something threw them in from the outside at high speed."
Everyone turned their heads to look at the broken window, and their eyes extended to a pile of metal barrels.
After a while, everyone walked out, leaving only Henry with a sprained foot sitting on a high stool to rest.
Watching everyone go out, he turned his head to look at the dead hapless guy: "Are you familiar with this place? How does the barbecue taste here?..."
Everyone went to the pile of metal barrels not far from the hole in the window, and found that one of the barrels facing the hole had bones and food residues at the bottom, and there was a faint burnt smell in it, which was the same as the smell of the man and the raccoon inside. Look for a can next to it marked: Vinyl.
Nick looked around and picked up a small box from under his feet: "Matches! It seems that someone is crazy here to die."
A picture emerged in everyone's mind: a man, looking at the raccoon eating at the bottom of the bucket, grinning grinningly struck a lit match and threw it in.
Suddenly, Luke's face changed, signaling for everyone to be quiet, and he quickly walked back into the house.
Inside, Henry was still chatting with the corpse, and stopped when he saw him come in.
Luke stood by an aisle behind him and gestured to Henry to silence him.
Not long after, a man suddenly came out with a gun and looked at Henry in surprise.
The next moment, Luke pulled the shotgun from the man's hand with one hand, and pressed the man against the wall with the other hand.
He is now ten times stronger than ordinary people, and one hand is enough to subdue ordinary people.
"Who are you?" he asked.
The man: "Who are you? Why did you break into the store?"
Nick: "Are you the owner?"
The man: "... no. I'm just a shop assistant."
Nick: "What's your name?"
That person: "Slick."
Nick: "Where were you? What were you doing?"
Slick: "I'm looking for something in the underground warehouse."
Both Luke and Nick looked at a bag carried by the man's side, which contained several bottles of strong wine.
The two looked at each other, and Luke let go of his hand, freeing the Slick.
This person is only in danger with that gun, and now there is no gun, and there is no threat.
Seeing the dead body sitting there, Slick exclaimed: "Gomez, what happened to you? Ah, you killed Gomez?"
"Sir, we can explain the cause of his death. The deceased is called Gomez. We found food residue and ethylene gas in the metal bucket outside, and matches. Apparently Mr. Gomez set up a trap. Then he wanted to ignite the vinyl to burn the raccoon to death." Little G explained.
Seeing that Slick was obviously listening, Little G continued: "But he didn't pay attention, the ethylene gathered at the bottom of the barrel, and the match couldn't be ignited. He stood at the mouth of the barrel and shot at the raccoon inside. Then... he and the raccoon They were blown up and flew in together."
Slick was silent for a moment, nodded sadly: "That's right. Gomez always likes to compete with raccoons, these damn rodents, they are thieves, always sneaking in to steal food, in your home make trouble."
Haggis held up a hand. "Sorry to interrupt. A raccoon isn't actually a rodent. It's a carnivorous raccoon, and a mouse is a rodent."
Everyone: ...
Slick stared at the straight man Haggis silently for a moment, then suddenly gave him a thumbs up: "Just looking at you, you are a person who has really read books."
Everyone: ... It seems that someone has a low level of education.
Luke and Selena: Why don't we have a high school diploma? I also took biology class in high school.
Afterwards, everyone finally relaxed and began to question this self-proclaimed clerk, Slick.
Mainly, where is there a phone and where is a car
As a result, the restaurant has long since closed down, and the phone line was cut off for not paying the bill.
Slick only said there was a radio in the utility room down below, and they could try it.
Then, Nick and Little G followed Slick to find the radio station, and Luke and the others stayed in the restaurant to rest.
Luke's expression was a bit strange, he looked at the barbecue stove in the restaurant, stared at a large pile of wood ashes inside for a moment, and then looked away.
In the utility room, Nick and the others found the radio station. After the power was turned on, a voice came from inside: "People on Earth, this is Zentraedi, you have been discovered by us, tremble and be afraid..."
crackle!
There was a burst of sparks from the radio station, and then a little smoke, and nothing happened.
Nick: "...are there any other radio stations here?"
Slick: "No, you can only try, maybe you can fix it."
Nick: "Then I have to find the vacuum tube first, is there any here?"
Slick tried to think back for a moment, and replied: "Only a vacuum cleaner, can it work?"
Nick, Little G: "..."
Why don't you say there are vacuum bags here
Little G was annoyed: "I can't find a phone, so I'll assemble one myself."
Up there, Luke and the others were sitting there. Suddenly, the sound of a car engine came from outside, and everyone looked happy.
But at the next moment, there was a bang, and then there was the sound of ping, ping, ping, ping, ding, jingling.
Everyone looked at each other, got up and opened the door to look, and found that a red convertible classic car had crashed into the pile of metal barrels just now, with a little white smoke coming out of the hood.
A middle-aged woman wearing a red and white plaid shirt and a thick gray coat opened the car door and walked over crookedly.
Haggis: "... Well, it seems that this car can't be driven either. Besides, why do I think this car looks familiar?"
Luke smiled, but said nothing.
Selena: "If I hadn't been dazzled, this car was driving on the road just now and almost killed us."
Everyone: Well, the perpetrator of that unfortunate car accident can be regarded as found.
The middle-aged woman looked delirious, and when she walked near the door, she finally saw everyone standing in the door looking at her: "Uh, who are you? Why, uh, what is in my shop?"
As she stood there, a strong smell of alcohol came into everyone's noses, and she kept hiccupping.
Selena: "Are you Henry?"
The middle-aged woman looked mocking: "Ha, I'm not Henry, but his wife. Well, to be precise, it's his ex-wife who was abandoned by him."
Everyone subconsciously looked at the birthday boy Henry who was sitting in the store.
…
In the utility room, Nick and Little G were looking for tools.
Little G: "Slick, is there no phone here?"
Slick: "The one in the store is broken, and even if it's not broken, it doesn't have a phone bill. Oh, there seems to be a spare phone here, on the wall over there."
Little G walked away to look for the phone, and Nick continued to look for tools.
Suddenly, he saw a figure standing behind a door.
