I'm innocent [Comprehensive British American]

"Dead?" Qiu Chengke looked at the doctor and asked.

After confirming again that the driver was dead, Qiu Chengke left the hospital without stopping.

Qiu Chengke remembered that the fronts of the two cars were dented, the two detectives died on the spot, and it was not impossible for the driver who caused the accident to die on the operating table.

It's just that Qiu Chengke still felt that something was wrong. It was a coincidence that the person sitting in the driver's seat was an excellent detective.

Qiu Chengke took a taxi back to the place where they had a car accident. It was a remote path with one-way lanes and narrow spacing. He stood on the side of the road and looked around.

There was a large puddle of dried blood on the road near the intersection, which was where they had a car accident. The broken glass that was scattered on the ground was swept away by the cleaners. Now the road has resumed traffic.

They were not driving fast, but the car rushed straight towards them as if out of control.

Qiu Chengke looked up at the monitor at the entrance of a shop, and he circled it twice to make sure it could capture the place where the car accident happened.

Qiu Chengke lowered the brim of his hat and walked into the shop. There was a cartoon character at the door. When Qiu Chengke passed by, it waved its arms and made a sound of "Hello, welcome." '

A female clerk poked her head out from the lounge and said, "Look for yourself first, I'll be right over."

A few minutes later, the female clerk came out holding several gift boxes. "Is there anything you like, I'm closing soon, why don't you come back tomorrow?"

This is a small gift shop. After confirming that there is no one else here except for a young female shop assistant, Qiu Chengke pressed down on the brim of his hat again. He walked over and kept in a position where the other party could hear his words clearly without making her feel in danger. distance.

"Good day, ma'am, I would like to borrow a little time." Qiu Chengke said softly, "FBI agent, I would like to check the surveillance video in front of your store."

He took out Dr. Reed's ID, quickly opened it and put it away, making sure that the female clerk could see that it was an FBI ID, but he didn't have time to see the photo on the ID.

Of course, this is not the official hand gesture that the FBI should have when showing their credentials, but ordinary people often don't notice this.

Qiu Chengke succeeded in defrauding the trust of the female clerk. She closed the door, hung a sign of suspension of business on the door, led Qiu Chengke to the rest room unsuspectingly, and dug out the video.

"Are you here to see the car accident this afternoon?" the female clerk closed the door of the rest room and whispered to Qiu Chengke

"Mr. Detective, are the few men who stayed in front of my store this afternoon also belong to you? I mean they ran to rescue people after the car accident. I also heard that the two who died were FBI you ...Wait, I seem to have seen you before."

Qiu Chengke paused while checking the surveillance video, and looked sideways at the female shop assistant, his eyes slightly lowered, thinking about how to deal with it.

Under the vigilant eyes of the female shop assistant, Qiu Chengke took off his peaked cap generously.

"Don't be nervous, ma'am, my colleagues and I were the ones involved in the car accident today." Qiu Chengke said with a smile, "Did you notice anything unusual?"

The female clerk nodded knowingly. She thought about it seriously and said, "Except for those men, there is nothing special. Do you need to copy a video?"

"Okay, sorry to bother you."

"It's nothing, you are much better than those FBIs in the afternoon." The female clerk showed a terrified expression on her face, "When they looked at the surveillance camera, they looked like they were going to kill me."

Qiu Chengke flipped through the video back and forth, and a few men in casual clothes lingered at the door, not too long, about 10 minutes.

To passers-by, they seemed to be waiting for someone, but the young female clerk who guarded the shop alone was always extra vigilant against anyone who might pose a threat to her, so she kept observing these men.

Qiu Chengke turned to the place the female clerk said, a man looked up at the monitor, Qiu Chengke remembered his face, it was the passer-by who saved him, Qiu Chengke also read the meaning of that look, it was a vicious person who wanted to kill someone to silence him Only then will there be eyes.

It was evening when Qiu Chengke woke up from the hospital, but now, Qiu Chengke looked out of the window, the figures of him and the female shop assistant were reflected on the window glass, and the lounge was illuminated by white lights.

Late at night.

Qiu Chengke's movements suddenly stopped, he turned to look at the female shop assistant, and asked quickly, "Do they know about the surveillance video?"

Just as the female clerk was about to speak, the small speaker at the main entrance suddenly uttered 'Hello, welcome. '

This is no longer the normal business hours of this gift shop. The female clerk just wanted to go out but froze in place. She came up behind Qiu Chengke, grabbed his arm and whispered, "I remember the door was closed..."

Qiu Chengke rubbed her hand comfortingly, gave her a gentle smile, he pulled out the USB flash drive and stared at the door of the lounge, the dagger hidden in his cuff slipped into his hand.

Qiu Chengke clenched his dagger and looked at the door vigilantly. He suddenly felt a chill behind him. He immediately turned to look at the window behind him. A face wearing a clown mask was stuck to the glass. lips grinning huge, mouthing 'hi'

The female shop assistant was already frightened. Clowns have always brought inexplicable fear to people, but Qiu Chengke was afraid of the jellyfish Yin Ji who pressed him on the ground and rubbed him, and he didn't intend to cooperate with the clown to pretend to be coercive.

He ran to the window quickly, and just as the clown was about to run away, Qiu Chengke broke the glass and grabbed the clown, tearing off a small piece of the mask.

Before Qiu Chengke could take a closer look, the clown shot him indiscriminately, forcing him to let go of his hand. Qiu Chengke didn't continue to chase, because there was a female shop assistant who needed protection.

There was a slight sound of footsteps outside the lounge, followed by a knock on the door.

'Boom dong dong'

"People inside, don't be nervous. I'm the police. I'm here to check the surveillance video of this afternoon's car accident."

The female clerk was relieved, she was about to walk over to open the door, but Qiu Chengke suddenly stopped her, he shook his head silently, and stopped the female clerk behind him, he couldn't be sure what was behind the door, so he couldn't open the door rashly.

"I'm an FBI agent," Qiu Chengke said loudly, "I've seen the video, this monitor is too broken, I can't see faces clearly."

The female shop assistant also realized that something was wrong. She wanted to hide behind Qiu Chengke, but she didn't dare to turn her back to the window where the clown appeared before. Her body was tense and her face was pale.

Qiu Chengke was worried that she would not be able to hold on, so he held her in his arms with one hand, hid behind the table, and said again, "You can leave now, Mr. Police Officer, the FBI will take over here."

"Mr. Detective, I have reason to doubt your identity, please come out and show your ID."

There was a pause for a knock on the door, and then the door was violently broken open, and an old police officer rushed in. Qiu Chengke bounced up reflexively and prepared to attack, but stopped when he saw him in a police uniform.

The police officer took out his ID and signaled Qiu Chengke not to be nervous. Qiu Chengke had met him at the branch before, and he remembered that his name was Ryan Tucker. According to Rocker, he was the oldest and most sensible policeman in the branch.

Ryan Tucker was still holding his gun after seeing Qiu Chengke, and he walked carefully to the broken window, "Did something happen here?"

"A clown."

Ryan Tucker's face became even uglier. He walked around the window irritably, "You guys and I go back to the police station, it's not safe here."

Qiu Chengke didn't move, but instead protected the female clerk even tighter. Ryan Tucker walked up to Qiu Chengke and said in a low voice, "Listen to Qiu Chengke, I know you are not the FBI. Don't worry, I am not a bad person. Follow me and get out of here."

He paused, then lowered his voice again and added, "This is not the first clown, we have been investigating him, come with me, hurry up."
