The smell of crow wings floated into his nostrils, making Lan Yu feel familiar, but he couldn't remember it.He took a sip, the rich aroma of the wine filled the taste buds, and there was a hint of bitterness in the middle, which seemed to have the smell of sea salt.

This wine is really good, but the bitterness is a bit too much. If there is a little more sweetness, I believe the taste will be better.

Lan Yu couldn't figure out the source of the smell, so she stopped thinking about it. While chatting softly with Lu Rankong, she looked at other people calmly.

"Do you think there is still a problem with this bar?" Lu Rankong asked.

Lan Yu replied hesitantly: "I don't know..."

"Since I can't explain clearly, I still have doubts. Tomorrow, I will ask the owner of this bar to gather all the employees together, and we will interrogate them one by one." Lu Rankong said.

Lan Yu didn't find any doubts, so she lost interest in staying any longer, and proposed to leave after drinking the cup of Raven Wing.Lu Rankong obediently picked up the coat draped over the back of the sofa, and stood up with him.

Yun Jie rushed to see the two off, glanced at Lu Rankong's glass of wine, and found that the sticky notes on the bottom of the transparent glass hadn't been removed, his eyes suddenly darkened, and Lan Yu saw it.

When passing by the bar, the idle bartender smiled slightly at the two: "Gentlemen, do you still like Ravenwing tonight?"

Lu Rankong gave him a thumbs up and said, "It's great..."

Lan Yu turned back after walking two steps, and asked him, "Have you seen me before?"

The bartender was taken aback, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen it before..."

Lan Yu nodded, followed Lu Rankong and continued to walk out, turning around to see the bartender still looking at her.

The two walked out of the bar, facing the cold night air. Lu Rankong put the coat on his arm on Lan Yu's shoulder, and said, "The night on Sasu Star is indeed cooler than that on Zatar Star."

Lan Yu followed him to the parking space, only took a few steps, and then gradually slowed down.

"What's wrong? What did you forget in the bar?" Lu Rankong turned his head and asked.

Lan Yu raised a finger to stop him from speaking, turned his head and thought for a while, and said, "I remember where I smelled the crow's wings."

"Ok?"

"I smelled it by my bedside in Kabul."

"Beside the bed? Didn't Kabul say that he never drinks at home?" Lu Rankong squinted his eyes.

Lan Yu recalled: "The smell is very slight, but very special, so I remember it."

Lu Rankong stood silently.

Lan Yu lowered her head and frowned, muttering in her mouth, "No, there's something wrong here."

"What's wrong, tell me."

The two stood in the middle of the street and had a conversation. When a car passed by and honked its horn, Lu Rankong pulled Lan Yu to continue walking, reached the open space opposite, and got into his sports car.

The sports car began to pass through the congested road slowly again, moving like a tortoise. A child ran past the car holding a skewer, and the oil on the skewer dripped on the front cover of the car.

"You asked me what was wrong just now, and I'll tell you." Lan Yu solemnly raised her index finger, "First..."

Seeing that Lu Rankong was staring at the front without looking over, he held up his index finger and did not continue to speak.

Lu Rankong avoided a few pedestrians, and after carefully brushing past a stall, stepped on the brakes and looked at him, "Okay, first."

Lan Yu said with satisfaction: "You drive, I will continue."

Lu Rankong looked forward and released the brake, Lan Yu explained: "First, I smelled the crow's wings by the bed in Kabul. After he got up halfway, I didn't smell the same smell on him. In other words, the raven wings emanating from his quilt or bed sheet."

"Well, it makes sense, I didn't smell anything strange on him either." Lu Rankong said.

"Second..." Lan Yu raised another finger.

Just as Lu Rankong drove out of the congested road, he stepped on the brake again and looked at Lan Yu, repeating solemnly: "Well, second."

Then turn around, release the brake and continue forward.

"Second, this kind of specialty wine in bars is for drinking in the bar. No one will take it home and drink it in bed. Besides, the bar doesn't allow you to take it away."

Lan Yu asked Lu Rankong after finishing speaking: "Do you think my discovery is useful?"

Lu Rankong didn't turn his head, and only controlled the steering wheel with his left hand, holding his two fingers with his right hand, and said, "I think your discovery is very useful, so I'm on the way to my house in Kabul, let's ask Ask him to confirm."

The black and yellow streamlined sports car whizzed by on the expressway in the city, surpassed one car, and left behind the hovering bus whizzing overhead, and soon arrived at the west city, stopping at the gate of Kabul.

The two staff members accompanying Kabul heard the sound of the car and poked their heads out of the window on the second floor. After seeing Lan Yu and Lu Rankong getting off the car, they quickly went downstairs and opened the door.

Lu Rankong briefly explained to them, then took Lan Yu up to the second floor, and knocked on Kabul's bedroom door.

"Come in..." Kabul just got out of the virtual cabin, and he was still a little surprised when he saw Lu Rankong and the two came again.

Lu Rankong didn't say anything, he went directly to his bedside and began to sniff, then leaned down, sniffed a few times on top of his quilt, then turned and said to Lan Yu, "That's right, it's the smell of crow's wings, very light .”

Lan Yu stood by the door and asked, "Kabul, I asked you if you drank at home during the day, and you said no?"

His eyes locked on Kabul, distinguishing every subtle expression of his.

Kabul closed the virtual cabin door behind him, and replied: "No, I don't like drinking, let alone bring it home."

"I'll take a look elsewhere." After Lu Rankong said to Lan Yu, he left the bedroom and went downstairs to the restaurant.

Lan Yu stayed in the room and continued to ask, "When did you change the sheets?"

Kabul replied blankly: "A week ago..."

"A week ago, was it before your accident?"

Kabul thought for a while and said, "The sheets were changed just the day before the accident."

"Didn't you notice that the quilt has a peculiar smell?" Lan Yu asked.

Kabul's face turned red, and he said angrily, "I take a shower every day, why does it smell strange?"

"The smell I'm talking about doesn't necessarily mean the smell."

Kabul calmed down under Lan Yu's cold gaze, and recalled: "It did smell a little bit, I thought it was because the sheets had been covered in the cabinet for a long time."

Lan Yu walked to his wardrobe and opened the doors one by one. When she found the shelf where the quilt was placed, she leaned closer and sniffed it.

Only the faint fragrance of laundry detergent and anti-moth pills.

Downstairs, Lu Rankong obviously found nothing in the restaurant, and he was asking two staff members again, and the voice came up intermittently.

There was the sound of footsteps going up the stairs outside, Lu Rankong walked in, shook his head to Lan Yu and said, "No, those two staff members don't have the habit of drinking, let alone bring drinks from the bar."

Lan Yu walked to the window, looked at the dark bushes outside, and pondered: "This smell should be related to the Longte star that night, and also related to the Black Crow Bar, which proves that our previous suspicion is correct. It's just me I don't understand, why did the Longte people leave the smell of alcohol on the sheets in Kabul?"

Kabul was still dazed, but when he heard that the smell was left by the people from the Longte Star, his face suddenly changed, and he couldn't resist scratching his back with great difficulty.

Lu Rankong said: "The Longte Starman arrived at Kabul's house ahead of time, and the exact time is not clear. After he poured the medicine into the water cup, he stayed in hiding and waited for Kabul to drink the water before entering a coma.

If I'm not wrong, he should be hiding in a room on the second floor. "

Kabul said nervously: "I have three rooms on the second floor. Except for my master bedroom, the guest bedroom is empty. It was only after my colleague came that I added an extra bed in it. The third room is not too big. as a storage room."

"Go and see..."

Kabul led the way and explained: "The military department has checked in the storage room and found nothing unusual."

As he spoke, he opened the door on the far side, "This is the room..."

Lu Rankong and the others entered the storage room, which was said to be a storage room, but in fact there were only three virtual cabins.

Kabul said with some pride: "This is the Z9 dream series produced by Haiyin Company. I have all three generations of this series."

Lu Rankong smiled: "It's quite expensive, isn't it?"

"As long as my salary can afford it, it's not expensive. What's more, how can you use the price to measure the virtual cabin? The main color of the first generation is different from the second generation. The world shown is warmer. There's a nuance to the controls too, a little sluggishness..." Kabul speaks excitedly as any gaming addict brings up his virtual pod.

Lu Rankong opened the virtual cabin closest to the door, half-bent down and smelled it, and said to Lan Yu, "I found it, he was hiding in it before."

Kabul suddenly stopped talking like a chip stuck.

Lan Yu also leaned closer to the virtual cabin and sniffed it, and confirmed this statement: "He has been hiding in it and waiting for Kabul to fall asleep."

Lu Rankong put down the virtual hatch and turned around, and Kabul quickly stepped forward to open the cover again, "Open it for ventilation, I will wipe it carefully again tomorrow."

The three left the storage room and walked back to the bedroom. Lu Rankong suddenly said, "I think I know the reason why the smell of alcohol stays on the sheets."

"Because of what?" Lan Yu and Kabul looked at him together.

"It is impossible for the Lunte star to show off in his original form. Before he came to Kabul's house, he had already controlled a human body. He used this body to enter the house through the window, drugged the water glass, and hid in A virtual cabin in the storage room. He may be an employee of the Black Crow Bar, or he may be a guest who has drunk in it, and he inadvertently stained his body with alcohol, so he left the smell in the cabin." Lu Rankong said.

Lan Yu nodded in agreement: "It should be like this."

Lu Rankong continued: "After Kabul fell asleep, he came out of the virtual cabin and invaded Kabul's spiritual domain."

"That's right..." Lan Yu nodded again.

"Then what about his previous body?" Lu Rankong entered the bedroom, stopped in front of the bed, turned around and said, "After the Longte star entered Kabul's body, he lost control of that body and fell down. Putting the body on the bed, it smelled of alcohol on the sheets."

Kabul looked at his bed and gasped.

"He drove a car in Kabul, arrived at the research institute at three o'clock in the middle of the night, and fled quickly after being discovered by the security guards. At this time, he will rush to his home in Kabul as soon as possible, and take away the body he left behind at the beginning." Lu Ran Empty talk.

Lan Yu's eyes lit up, "It's far away from the research institute, and he was in the form of a Longte star at that time. Kabul's car was left in the research institute, which proves that he has other means of transportation parked near the research institute."

Lu Rankong nodded and said: "Yes, so although there is no monitoring in the community, there must be the nearest highway intersection. Let's lock the cars that passed the highway intersection around four o'clock that night and find out the suspicious one."

After Lu Rankong finished speaking, he clicked on the terminal. He didn't know who he was talking to. He only heard him report the place name to the other party, and asked to immediately send the surveillance video at around [-] o'clock in the middle of the night on October [-]th. Come.

After hanging up the terminal, he said to Lan Yu, "Let's go downstairs and sit down."

The two left the bedroom and walked downstairs, Kabul hurriedly followed behind.

Two staff members were sitting on the sofa, idly playing with the terminal, and stood up quickly when they heard footsteps.

"Sit down, don't get up." Lu Rankong greeted like a master: "What do you want to drink? Drink or water?"

While talking, he walked to the dining room and opened the refrigerator.

"No, we bring our own water glasses." The two staff members said stiffly.

It was only then that Kabul realized he was the master, and hurriedly said, "I'm going to make coffee now."

Lu Rankong stopped him and said, "No, we just need to drink water."

After speaking, he took out two bottles of water from the refrigerator, unscrewed the cap of one of them, walked over and handed it to Lan Yu.

Lan Yu took the water and just sat down on the sofa when Lu Rankong's terminal rang.

He looked down, clicked on the floating screen, and the surveillance video of an intersection began to play on the big screen. The time on the lower left was [-]:[-] am on October [-]th.

Lan Yu recognized it, and the picture was the intersection that must be passed to get here after going down the expressway from the city.There were few people going to the west city, and it was midnight, so the roads were empty and there was no car in the monitoring.

Lu Rankong fast-forwarded until a vehicle appeared, and then fast-forwarded after recording the license plate number, and soon saw from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-].

At this time, a white van appeared in the screen, and it moved forward quickly after exiting the highway intersection.The windshield seemed to be smashed, with spider web-like lines on it, and the people inside could not be seen clearly.

Lu Rankong pressed pause, and was about to fast-forward after memorizing the license plate, when Lan Yu, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly said, "Wait..."

Lu Rankong let go, Lan Yu got up and walked to the floating screen, pointed to a small black spot on the car and asked, "What is this?"

Lu Rankong took a closer look, and then zoomed in on that piece, the black spots gradually became clear, and a flying crow shadow appeared in front of his eyes.

"Black Crow Bar..." The two said at the same time.

In the middle of the night on the expressway in the city, a black and yellow streamlined sports car engine roared and drove towards the main city at a fast speed.

"Do you have KH5 with you?" Lan Yu asked Lu Rankong while sitting in the passenger seat.

"HR5, I brought it with you. You have two in your pocket. You can take it out yourself." Lu Rankong raised his right arm and exposed his coat pocket.

Lan Yu took one and put it in his pocket, and said, "Since he can drive the bar car, it proves that he is an employee of the bar, and it will be easy to find the target now."

The sports car got off the high speed quickly and came to the congested section of the road again.After passing slowly, parked in the car park opposite the bar.
