do not speak

Chapter 14 Manticore

The boy pushed back the bank card, determined to help the girl pay back the money, begged Qin Yan for a long time but didn't see the other party let go, finally made up his mind, closed his eyes and puffed up his chest as if death was at home: "Can you see me? "

"No." Wei Huaiming reacted faster than Qin Yan, and he simply refused and added, "Our boss doesn't like men."

"Then I'll find another girl for you." After the boy answered this sentence, the car suddenly fell into silence.Qin Yan looked at him, his eyes sank.

The boy was stared at pins and needles, and added cautiously: "There are many girls in our school who are prettier than her, I will call you out...you let her go...can you..." The more he said, the more confident he became, until the voice It's as low as a mosquito buzzing, but it can still be heard clearly in this quiet space.

"You still have this ability?" Qin Yan snorted, threw the cigarette butt in his hand under his feet and stomped on it.

"I belong to the student union... I have privileges."

Wei Huaiming has always been on the sidelines as the background, and now he managed to catch a message about the "student union", and then asked, "What privilege?"

"Okay..." The boy stopped the word as soon as it came out of his mouth, and changed his words, "Anyway, I can get it out for you."

Wei Huaiming sensed the trickiness, so he stuck to this topic and asked a series of questions.Such as the boy's name class and the girl's name, the configuration and privileges of the student union, and why his sister was bullied but he didn't help and followed her, etc.

In the end, he didn't ask anything except that the boy's name was Qi Sai and the girl's name was Qi Dan. No matter how much he tried to coerce and lure him, he couldn't get more things out of his mouth.

In the end, Qin Yan made a big move, took out a knife out of nowhere, pressed Qi Sai's hand on the car seat, and said that if you didn't tell the truth, your hand would be chopped off.

"If I don't say it, you cut off my hand. If I say it, they can kill me."

"Your school is such a society?" Wei Huaiming laughed angrily, "Killing and dying, what's wrong, people from the Jianghu?"

"You don't even know how scary they are." After finishing speaking, the boy kindly mentioned, "Even if you are a gangster, you can't afford it."

Just as Wei Huaiming wanted to argue with him, Qin Yan interrupted him.

Qin Yan withdrew the knife in his hand, pressed Qi Sai's hand, changed the direction and opened the car door directly.He got out of the car and made a gesture of "please", Qi Sai turned his head and glanced at Wei Huaiming, fearing that Qin Yan would regret it, he hurried down.

Just when he was about to run, Qin Yan grabbed his arm again.

"Let's not mess with people we can't afford to mess with. Everyone, don't mess with river water. Help me to treat your president well." Qin Yan's eyes were extremely gloomy, and the hot air in the car and the cold air outside rushed on Qi Sai, Can't tell if it's cold or hot.

Anyway, I couldn't ask anything, and it was useless to hold someone back, so I just let him go.

Wei Huaiming knew Qin Yan's intentions, and after he got into the car, he asked, "Boss, what do you think?"

Qin Yan smiled wryly: "Captain Wei, don't embarrass me, it's just what the plot needs."

"I think you can win an actor."

Qin Yan had put down his sleeves a long time ago, and after losing the blessing of the smoke, he returned to the state of a little white rabbit. He wondered if what he saw just now was Qin Yan's second personality.Wei Huaiming's eyes fell on Qin Yan's arm, and he opened his mouth, but he still didn't ask how the scar came about.

Even though they couldn't find any more clues, they didn't find anything.They had arranged for someone to watch in the coffee shop where Deng Lili worked, but now they looked at their watch and realized that it was almost time, and there happened to be a free laborer like Zhao Zheng in the car, so they directly asked him to drive to the coffee shop.

When they were interrogating the boy just now, Zhao Zheng wanted to interrupt several times, but Wei Huaiming stopped him with his eyes. Now he finally didn't have to hold back, and chattered a lot along the way, and the topic jumped from the disappearance case to Sun Kaichen. How did he bully himself? When he parked the car, he already mentioned how many times he had wet the bed when he was a child.Qin Yan and Wei Huaiming echoed him a few words at first, but later realized that he didn't seem to need to be flattered, so they stopped talking altogether.

After getting out of the car, Wei Huaiming chatted with Zhao Zheng while pulling the zipper of his down jacket: "I think it's a pity for you to be a criminal policeman."

Zhao Zheng looked at him puzzled.

"The country needs a talk show talent like you." Qin Yan answered with a smile, Zhao Zheng was overwhelmed by that smile, and didn't know whether it was a compliment or a sarcasm for a while.

The coffee shop is called "Meeting", the store is not big, and the location is not too far away. It stands to reason that this kind of small shop is not very eye-catching among all kinds of shops, but the owner carefully placed a row of flowers in front of the door, and the store is very beautiful. It looks a lot better.

The signboard is engraved with exquisite relief, which is three pairs of kissing lovers.A pair is a man and a woman, a pair is two men, and a pair is two women.

The three walked into the store, and the counter clerk enthusiastically asked them what they needed.

They didn't come here for coffee, so they just ordered a few and sat down.

The interior decoration is also very warm.The comfortable leather sofa, the warm yellow light hitting the wall, the reflected light softens the outline of the person.It's not too late now, but there are already a lot of customers. People gather in twos and threes, telling all kinds of stories, accompanied by the soothing music in the store, which makes people feel drowsy.

"This place is really nice." Zhao Zheng took a sip of coffee and sighed, "I wish I had known there was such a store."

Wei Huaiming glanced at him: "A cup of coffee is [-] yuan, with your little salary, come here to drink water?"

Zhao Zheng got up indifferently and prepared to ask for another cup.

As long as Wei Huaiming treats guests, he will try his best to trick him - this is the consistent purpose of the criminal police team.

The little policeman who watched the store for a long time did not find any suspicious person. Both the store manager and the waiter said that Deng Lili resigned two weeks ago.The little policeman didn't dare to call Wei Huaiming, so he could only wait for the news, but he was too embarrassed to sit in the store, refilling several cups of coffee, and after getting Wei Huaiming's "reimbursement" reply, he went home to spend Christmas Eve in tears went.

"Resigned a long time ago?" Wei Huaiming stirred the coffee with a spoon, confused, "Well, didn't the teacher say a word of truth?"

Qin Yan also felt strange, and began to think a little bit geographically: "The teacher said that Deng Lili often came to work here at night, but the store manager said that she resigned two weeks ago. If they are not lying, then it is the teacher. It's been a long time since Deng Lili didn't go home at night, and Deng Lili quit this job and found another one."

Zhao Zheng came back with coffee, just in time to hear their conversation, and interjected: "The environment here is so good. I was chatting with the waiter just now, and he said that the salary is [-] a month. Why did he resign?"

"Either the salary is not high enough, or you are being bullied." Wei Huaiming stopped fighting against the garland in the cup, and looked up at Qin Yan, "I thought that the student in their school would be weird, and I was scared like that by that boy. Do you think they bullied Deng Lili?"

"possible."

"Excuse me... did you mention Deng Lili just now?" A waiter passed by their table with a cup, but suddenly stopped and asked such a question without thinking.

The waiter was a boy, he looked like he was only in his teens, and he was quite handsome, no matter where he was placed, he was a school grass-level figure.The boy was a little embarrassed by their staring, and he stammered to explain: "I am on the night shift like her... I am familiar with it, but she resigned suddenly and didn't tell me... She told me that her family conditions are not good , I don’t know if something happened at home. I just asked a question when I heard you mention it..."

The boy's appearance and attitude made people feel very comfortable. Seeing that he was indeed worried, Qin Yan moved a place for him to sit down.After the boy sat down, he became more cautious. He didn't know where to put his hands, and his eyes were always locked on the floor.

Qin Yan patiently asked him a bunch of questions, and the boy answered incoherently.

The boy stopped going to school after finishing junior high school, and has been working around, picking up some odd jobs, until he found this coffee shop and it was considered a stable job.The boss took care of children like them, and tried to arrange a lighter night shift for them when arranging shifts, so he and Deng Lili were logically arranged together.The evening shift was relatively relaxed, and the two chatted in their spare time. Deng Lili was a very introverted girl, so it was usually boys who talked, and she listened quietly.

The boy only knows that her family conditions are not good, but he doesn't know how bad it is.The days were repeated like this day after day, until Deng Lili suddenly resigned two weeks ago, and they never met again.

"You like her?" Zhao Zheng came to such a conclusion after hearing this, the boy buried his head even lower after hearing this, and gave a low "hmm".

"She disappeared." Qin Yan kept observing the boy, but decided to be honest, "She disappeared three days ago, so we really need your information—did you meet any suspicious people when you were working?"

The boy was stunned for a while before he digested the news, looked up eagerly at Qin Yan, and after confirming it three times, he calmed down a little, then lowered his head and began to think back, muttering to himself: "There is no suspicious person..." The boy suddenly He raised his head and shouted, "I remembered!"

Realizing that his voice was too loud, he subconsciously covered his mouth, and then said: "There is a customer who comes every day and sits in the same position all the time, does that count?"

Yes, of course.

Nine o'clock in the evening, speakeasy.

"Beauty, add a bottle of beer."

"Here we come." The woman, wearing a well-tailored cheongsam, handed the newly mixed wine to the guests, and took a bottle of beer and walked to other tables.When I got closer, I realized that the woman's appearance is not inferior to her figure at all, and her frown and smile are full of charm.

The man pinched her waist, and she leaned on him.

The two hid in a corner. When the woman was in a daze, the woman was pressed against the wall. She wanted to find a support point for her hand, but suddenly touched something soft.

An unknown sound came from somewhere, carrying Christmas-specific songs.

This is a Christmas Eve gift.
