do not speak

Chapter 15 Manticore

The guest is a woman, about thirty years old, every time she comes, she wears delicate makeup, from hairstyle to clothing, and even the smell of perfume on her body has never been repeated.At the beginning, the waiters guessed which big star she was, and even the brave ones went up to ask for an autograph, but the woman politely refused.

She appeared in front of the coffee shop at nine o'clock every day, rain or shine, and sat in the corner by the window until midnight.

Deng Lili's working hours are exactly from nine o'clock to twelve o'clock.

"Are you sure she hasn't communicated with anyone?" Wei Huaiming asked.

The boy shook his head firmly: "No. He didn't say a word to us except ordering food, so I almost didn't remember when you asked me just now."

Wei Huaiming knocked on the table a few times: "Where is Deng Lili?"

"Lili is at the front desk, she is the only one who talked to her." The boy relaxed a lot more than before, and talked more, "But we were all nearby when she ordered food, nothing special."

The woman was pretty, and several shop assistants had candid photos on their mobile phones, which were quite clear.

Qin Yan looked at the photo for a long time.

The woman is indeed beautiful, but the makeup is also very heavy.The dark eye shadow and thick false eyelashes combined with the nose shadow deepened her outline several times, and the long and straight black hair fell loose, even giving her a mixed-race look.

Make-up, one of the four major Asian magics, added new difficulties to solving the case.

"When I came to the coffee shop at night, I was dressed like a painted skin. No matter how I thought about it, it was a bit pervasive. Do you still think it looks good?" Wei Huaiming came over to look at the photos and felt creepy, and by the way, he complained about the aesthetics of contemporary young people .

"This makeup really has the effect of painting the skin." Qin Yan traced the woman's eyebrows and eyes carefully, feeling that the facial features had a weird feeling.It seems to have been deliberately modified, completely covering the original appearance.

"She doesn't want to be recognized." That's the problem.

Even though they had heard from the little waiter that the woman hadn't been here since Deng Lili resigned, they still decided to stay overnight in the store.

During this period, Zhao Zheng's cell phone rang countless times, all of which were Sun Kaichen's wailing and wolf howling, blaming Zhao Zheng for his behavior of "sleep and then cut it clean".He also said that he couldn't get through on the phone, so he searched around the school for several hours but couldn't find anyone, and even borrowed the school's loudspeaker to yell several times. Zhao Zheng must not have heard it, but the security guard heard it. So for the first time in Sun Dashao's peaceful life, he was thrown out of school.

Zhao Zheng listened to his chatter back and forth, picked the calluses on his ears, hung up the phone and muted it.

"Blushing like a monkey's butt." Wei Huaiming looked at Zhao Zheng and snorted, "Did Sun Kaichen beat you? Good luck."

"I didn't..." The phone was silent, and the video call came over again.Zhao Zheng sighed countless times in his heart, but he took it up bravely, but turned it over and handed it to Wei Huaiming.

Sun Kaichen watched the video and got connected, just about to continue chasing and beating, when he saw Wei Huaiming's face magnified several times, he literally choked.

After slowing down, his face changed into a dog-legged look: "Oh, brother Ming! Where is Zhengzheng with you?"

Wei Huaiming frowned subtly, and "Zheng Zheng" himself was too ashamed to look up.

"Is this a one-night stand between you two?" Wei Huaiming held the phone, but his eyes were on Zhao Zheng - the person had turned into a boiled shrimp.

Sun Kaichen's words were not surprising: "Maybe it is. The one-night stands that lasted a long time, I can't forget the kind after that night." After finishing speaking, he added, "Where are you? I'll go pick you up? "

There are still rumors about Sun Kaichen.He was standing on the street fully armed, the colorful lanterns in the background and "Jingle Bells" in all directions reminded Wei Huaiming that today is Christmas Eve.

Eat apples on Christmas Eve.

Wei Huaiming was originally a person with little sense of ceremony, especially did not like Western festivals, but after being enlightened by Qin Yan today, he suddenly felt a little sense of ceremony, and he did not forget to ask Sun Kaichen to bring some apples before hanging up the video.

Half an hour later, Sun Kaichen huddled between Zhao Zheng and Qin Yan in the cold, the latter exchanged glances with him, and sat opposite him helplessly.

Wei Huaiming felt the sunken curvature of the sofa next to him, and suddenly became nervous again.

He has been acting like a psycho these past few days. Apart from being able to concentrate and not lose his mind when handling a case, anything that is compatible with Qin Yan will make him nervous for no reason, and he himself doesn't even know what he is nervous about.

He also felt nervous when he met Qin Yan for the first time. At that time, he was afraid that he would be seen through. After getting along with him for a few days, his mood turned completely - he was afraid that he would not be able to see through his own thoughts.

He really fell.

Sun Kaichen did bring an apple, but he was only half obedient.Originally, Wei Huaiming wanted him to bring a few apples, but the young master directly packed a trunk full, and all of them were packed with gaudy wrapping paper—it was quite in line with his taste.

After Qin Yan took a few apples and distributed them to the waiter, he began to peel off the three inner and outer three layers of wrapping paper with the others.

"Did you have the money to burn it, and buy such a bunch of useless things?" Wei Huaiming held the fifth bow in his hand, and complained with disgust, "It's all in pink packaging."

Sun Kaichen was also aggrieved, thinking that you didn't let me buy it, but he dared not speak out, listening to him complain.

After peeling a few, Qin Yan glanced at the bag of apples at his feet, and sighed: "Peel these first, I can't eat too much. I'll go wash it."

"I'll go with you." After Wei Huaiming finished speaking, he felt that he was a little too attentive, and added, "It's too much, you can't take it."

Qin Yan nodded with a smile, carried the apple to the bathroom, and Wei Huaiming followed closely behind.

Sun Kaichen whistled resoundingly, successfully reaping a slash.

Qin Yan originally wanted to go to the bathroom along the way, and after mentioning something to Wei Huaiming, he went into the cubicle.Wei Huaiming watched him continue to concentrate on washing apples after he went in, and then raised his head to look in the mirror to see if his appearance was still online.

After staying up for a few nights, the dark circles under my eyes became heavier, but fortunately, it didn't affect much.

He was concentrating on fixing his hair, but suddenly heard Qin Yan calling him.

The sound came from a certain compartment, and he knocked on the door following the sound and asked him what was the matter.

"Captain Wei, come in." The voice was a little soft, but it sounded like a whip was thrown near Wei Huaiming's ear, and it crackled.

Qin Yan, in the toilet, told him to go in.

But Qin Yan's next sentence quickly put the brakes on the racing car in his mind.

"I've found something amazing."

Wei Huaiming opened the door of the cubicle and saw Qin Yan knocking on the back wall neatly dressed. The sound of "dong dong dong" rang several times, and it could be easily judged that the wall was empty.

The two looked at each other, and Qin Yan said in a softer voice, "Listen."

Wei Huaiming imitated his example and put his ear against the wall. At first he didn't hear anything, but then he tried his best to lean against the wall, only to hear a lot of strange sounds indistinctly.It's a bit like a human, and it's a bit like a large livestock. If you listen carefully, it sounds like an electronic mechanical sound.All kinds of subtle voices mixed together, making one's scalp tingle.

"What is this?" Qin Yan shook his head, and continued to grope on the wall, as if to find some mechanism.

Wei Huaiming went to another cubicle to listen again, and found that he could hear it too, so he also began to grope around the back walls of each cubicle.After touching the crack in the wall of the third compartment, his hand suddenly got stuck.

A very slight stutter, if you are not careful, you will not feel it at all.But Wei Huaiming is now playing 120 points, it's hard not to notice.

He scanned the crack of the wall several times with his hand, and finally determined the source of the stutter.

A beige button smaller than a shirt button.Mixed with the color of the wall, it was successfully hidden.

Everything that gets hidden is haunted.

Wei Huaiming didn't dare to press the button easily, so he called Qin Yan to come over and take a look, but Qin Yan pressed it without hesitation after touching it.

The sound behind the wall disappeared like an ebbing tide, until it was completely inaudible, and the wall slowly opened.

This is a door.

Wei Huaiming suddenly thought of a topic he had seen on the Internet before, which was about "what amazing design for the mentally retarded have you ever seen?" At that time, he was still very happy, but now he feels that compared with this design, the ones he read on the Internet are all lame.

Which bar have you ever seen where the door is the back wall of a toilet in a small cafe?

Behind the wall is indeed a bar.Wei Huaiming thought back to those years when he was a prodigal son, and he was sure that he had never seen this house.

The scale of the bar is not small, but the light is not very good, except for some weak lights in a few places, everything is dark.They came in from a corner. Logically speaking, no one should be able to see them, but a waiter was waiting in front of the door early.

"Are you two drinking or playing games?"

Qin Yan's intuition should not be the standard answer of "drinking", so he directly replied "game".

The waiter seemed to have expected this kind of answer from him. Before Qin Yan finished speaking, he asked, "Which game do you want to play, sir?"

"Today is Christmas Eve." Qin Yan suddenly raised his head and looked at the waiter with a hint of impatience in his eyes.

"Okay, this way please."

Wei Huaiming followed the two of them to the basement without knowing why.After being brought into a private room, he pretended to approach Qin Yan casually and whispered, "What games are there on Christmas Eve?"

"I don't know." Qin Yan played with his fingers, "But most businesses will hold activities on Christmas Eve, right?"

The logic is clear and impeccable.

Without giving the two of them much alone time, the door of the private room was opened again.

Seven or eight people were pushed in.

"Christmas Eve special project - elk."
