At noon the next day, Lin Qing stretched his waist and sat up, the memory of last night slowly recovered.
Lin Qing got up from the police and stretched out his hand to open the curtains. The room was suddenly full of brilliance, and the scorching sunlight filled the fairly spacious room.
"Huh! It's cool to sleep peacefully."
Lin Qing sighed and stood quietly for a while facing the dazzling sunlight. What happened last night is vividly visible.
"Heh! The world is starting to become more exciting."
Lin Qing chuckled, turned and walked out the door, but stood still when passing by the computer desk, picked up the bronze mirror that was randomly placed on the table yesterday, and looked left and right, but could not see a trace of fame. After thinking about it, he left it at random and opened the door to go out.
When I went out, I happened to see Sun Aoyun in casual clothes lying comfortably on the sofa in the living room, holding a bag of potato chips in one hand and a bottle of drink in the other, her beautiful eyes staring at the TV in the living room closely.
"Ding Ding Ding!"
Lin Qing came downstairs and said with a smile: "It's early, you."
"Ok,"
Sun Aoyun replied without looking back, holding the drink bottle hand to Lin Qing, "Come over and have a look, yesterday you... Oh no, we were careless."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qing walked to Sun Aoyun and watched a piece of news being broadcast on TV.
"... Hello, everyone, what we are broadcasting now is... West Lake was normal before yesterday, but what is strange is that after this short night, the water level of West Lake unexpectedly dropped by more than three meters. Some experts claim that this may be because some caves "holes" appeared somewhere on the bottom of the lake, which caused the water level to drop...
"The other thing that makes people feel strange is that many people who visited the West Lake last night said it was strange and went back home. The phenomenon is like being hypnotized..."
"... In the early hours of this morning, a cleaning staff said that they had seen a lot of water traces by the lake. According to the identification of the remaining traces by the relevant department, they should be the footprints of two people. Moreover, the time of the two people's departure should be midnight. It's about 12 o'clock to one o'clock, and this time is also the time when the water level of West Lake drops...
"The following, what we are about to broadcast for you is..."
"Uh, what's this? Are we'exposed'?"
Lin Qing was taken aback and looked at Sun Aoyun in confusion.
Sun Aoyun thought for a while, then shook his head and said: "Exposure may not be necessary, but this will cause some trouble. If these people have to find out, they will definitely find the cave under the lake bottom, and at the same time they will find it. That strange snake. At that time, it will definitely cause a sensation, and the above will definitely pursue it."
Lin Qing frowned slightly, and did not expect that the problem would become so complicated. He said in deep thought, "Then you should have encountered this kind of thing before? How do you usually deal with it?"
Sun Aoyun "licked" the snack shards on his red lips, breathed, and said slowly: "Where did I encounter this kind of thing? Generally speaking, after killing those monsters beyond ordinary people's cognition, Directly use the "Destroying Fire" to completely eliminate all traces. I don't need to say more about this, right? I showed it in front of you last time."
Lin Qing nodded, turned and sat beside Sun Aoyun, gently rubbing his chin with his right hand, and meditated: "This is indeed a problem. Not only the strange snake will be fished out, but also yours. The dagger will also be discovered. In this way, it can be proved that someone has been to the West Lake..."
"What?! My dagger fell on the bottom of the lake?"
Sun Aoyun's face changed suddenly, changing from his previous comfort, and stood up from the sofa.
Upon seeing this, Lin Qing nodded and said: "Yes, yesterday you fainted when you killed the strange snake. I only had time to hug you... Oh no, I didn't have time to catch the dagger if I held on to you." Sun Aoyun's expression changed drastically, and Lin Qing spoke more carefully, but he didn't dare to stimulate her again at this juncture.
Obviously, Sun Aoyun now has no thoughts to entangle the issue of'holding' and'supporting'. She frowned and fell into a problem.
"What's wrong? Is the dagger important?"
Lin Qing asked puzzledly.
Sun Aoyun glanced at Lin Qing, sighed, shook his head, and nodded again: "The dagger has my mark on it. As long as those people find the dagger, my family will be reported by the news. Find me soon."
Hearing this, Lin Qing suddenly smiled, "What else should I do, isn't it that your family found you? What's the matter? Is it possible that you are still afraid of your family?"
"You do not understand."
Sun Aoyun frowned, opened her mouth slightly, and finally did not say anything else. After a short while, she suddenly took out a pack of ladies' cigarettes from the drawer under the coffee table in front of him, and skillfully opened the lid of the box to order for herself. One.
This was the first time Lin Qing saw Sun Aoyun smoking a cigarette. Of course, the two had not lived in the same building for a long time, which was entirely reasonable.
Upon seeing this, Lin Qing just sat quietly and watched Sun Aoyun's every move.
It is undeniable that Sun Aoyun's smoking appearance is still so beautiful, but the melancholy between his brows makes anyone fascinated by it.
It wasn't until a cigarette burned nearly two-thirds that Sun Aoyun slowly said: "Have you heard of a limerick?" After a pause, before Lin Qing answered, he continued: "Life is precious, love The price is higher. If it is for freedom, both can be thrown away."
"Since I was young, I hardly knew what freedom is. Any step I take is prepared by my family. They have already modeled my future life. I just waited for me to follow those roads. When I was sixteen, my abilities awakened, and from that moment on, I had the idea of living for freedom."
Sun Aoyun shook his head and smiled bitterly, and lightly flicked the soot, as if it was out of control, as if the cathartic torrent found a breakthrough, "The seeds buried in the ground will always germinate, just like that idea. Eighteen years old. At the time, I resolutely left my home and wandered away alone. During this period, I also reached an agreement with the country's most mysterious organization "Xuanyi Group" and stationed in Hangzhou."
Mysterious group
Lin Qing whispered from the bottom of her heart, quietly remembering this name in her heart.
Sun Aoyun laughed softly: "With the help of the Xuanyi Group, my family has never been able to find me. Therefore, in the past few years, I have indeed been free, and I no longer have heavy shackles on my body. But now , Once discovered by my house, then I will return to that cage again like a prisoner bird. So..."
"So, that dagger can never be made public, right?"
Lin Qing said.
Sun Aoyun said silently, "Yes."
Lin Qing pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "How do you want me to help you?"
Hearing this, Sun Aoyun was overjoyed, "Are you willing to help me?"
Lin Qing chuckled and stood up from the sofa, "You have said so much, but don't you actually hope that I can help you? Besides, refusing to help a beautiful woman is also contemptuous."
Hearing that, Sun Aoyun blushed slightly, resisting the burst of temper, and whispered: "This is very simple. As long as they start to explore the bottom of the lake, if they fish out my dagger, you will be hidden among them and use you. "Illusion" ability to mislead them. Then we take the opportunity to take the dagger away, and that's it."
"What about the corpse of the weird snake? We don't care?"
Lin Qing puzzled.
Sun Aoyun nodded and said, "Well, it's all reached this point, naturally it doesn't matter. Besides, in these years, don't some strange creatures occasionally appear in many areas? It's already dead anyway, it's no big deal."
Lin Qing thought about it carefully, and it was indeed the case, "Alright, I will help you get the dagger back then, before it’s on the news. Okay, I won’t talk about it now, I’m going to wash it. After a while, I still have to go out."
"Are you going out? Where are you going?"
Sun Aoyun was taken aback and asked smoothly.
Lin Qing waved his hand and walked to the bathroom, "Miss, where I am going is my personal business."
Sun Aoyun curled his lips and said, "Cut, who cares about you."
Anyway, someone had promised to help her handle the matter. He annihilated the cigarette in the ashtray, tilted his body to the sofa, adjusted a more comfortable posture and watched the movie.
After washing, Lin Qing changed into dry clothes and opened the notebook to read the information about Zhao Gong carefully. After all, he has promised Ma Zhongyun on this matter, and naturally he will not forget it.
After making sure that he had remembered correctly, he picked up his wallet and talked to Sun Aoyun, who was leisurely watching a movie in the living room, and went out.
When he went out, Lin Qing discerned his direction. Thinking of the information about Zhao Gong in his mind, Zhao Gong usually went to a chess and card room called "Tule" in the afternoon to play cards for the whole afternoon. Later, he would go to the "Crown" ktv. Have fun, and this is just his most usual activity, and occasionally changes.
The reason for this is very simple. Lin Qing is not a person who just listens to a few words and takes it seriously. What kind of person Zhao Gong is, he still needs to come to the field to investigate. And the period from afternoon to evening is the time used to explore the nature of Zhao Gong.
With certain thoughts, Lin Qing stretched out his hand to stop the taxi and went directly to the'Tule' chess and card room.
