Volume 1 Chapter 11: Sad Scene
We arrived at the service area ahead and caught up with the police car that had been running ahead. After a short stop, Shen Bing took over the driving. Although she looked delicate, she was actually very wild when driving. The speed soared to 180 miles per hour, and she was like a rocket, weaving in and out of the gaps between the left and right cars, which made me feel very nervous. The car was already floating at this speed. Looking at the shadows of cars flying back outside the window, I really regretted not sitting in the back seat.
She gave me a smug smile and said, "You were driving as slow as a snail just now. I've never seen a special forces soldier as timid as you."
"Don't look at me, look ahead." I reminded her angrily, thinking that if it weren't for a timid special forces soldier like me, you probably wouldn't be able to leave Shangcheng Town. I didn't dare tell her about this. She was already scared to death. If she knew that there was an even more ferocious zombie following behind her, wouldn't she be scared to death?
She turned her gaze to the front and added, "But it was still pretty cool when I crossed the billboard just now. I don't know what to do if I were in your shoes."
This is still a human saying. Anyone else would probably lose their mind in such a critical situation. Not every special forces soldier can keep a cool head in a critical moment.
I didn't answer, I closed my eyes and began to catch up on some sleep. The living corpse must have known how powerful I was, and now that it had lost its means of transportation, it probably wouldn't bother us again, so I slept very soundly.
More than an hour later, Shen Bing woke me up. We had already exited the expressway and entered the provincial capital. Looking out the window at the bustling urban scenery outside, I couldn't help but think of the short time I spent here after my recovery. Three years after we left, the place has changed a lot. There are many more high-rise buildings, making it even more spectacular. Of course, my ex-girlfriend who said goodbye to me is indispensable in my memory. I wonder how she is doing now. I sighed secretly. My brother is back again, but he comes and goes in a hurry and never takes a cloud with him.
Entering the bustling city, the traffic was like a sea, and once the speed dropped, it was really like a snail. Shen Bing took the opportunity to point out the outside and introduce me to what places were and what characteristics they had, making me look like a bumpkin who had never been to the provincial capital. But I couldn't dampen her enthusiasm, so I pretended to be in the provincial capital for the first time and kept nodding and praising.
Half an hour later, we arrived at the police station. It was a high-rise building with more than ten floors. The momentum was incomparable to the police station in the county. Five policemen from the county went to hand over the body. Shen Bing took me to meet her boss, the head of the serious crime team, Long Shaohui. He was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a righteous face and a serious expression. He gave people a very reliable and trustworthy feeling.
Shen Bing recounted everything that happened last night, and she also explained the matter of Black Pearl. After listening to Long Shaohui, his face became extremely gloomy. How could he feel good when he encountered such a difficult case and two of ? He asked a few questions, all of which were related to the supernatural. Shen Bing couldn't answer them, so she shook her head at me, meaning that I should answer.
Although I could answer clearly , I didn't want to cause trouble for myself because raising corpses alive was considered a legend in our industry. With such a big incident, they would definitely invite experts in the supernatural. Besides, the police might not believe that it was ghosts who killed people. If I made up some exaggerated story, it would inevitably seem like I was just trying to attract attention.
I touched my nose, because when I was in high school, I loved reading Chu Liuxiang's novels. Whenever I encountered a difficult problem, I would always imitate Chu Liuxiang's habitual movements. Over time, I developed this habit. Then I simply answered a few ambiguous words, leaving the other party with a huge space for association. As for where he thought about it, I couldn't control it. Shen Bing frowned and looked at me, as if to say why did you answer so vaguely? You didn't say that when you were with me. I smiled at her and said nothing.
Long Shaohui is not the kind of person who would dig deep into a matter like Shen Bing. He just frowned and looked at me for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking. The more scheming a person is, the harder it is to guess what he is thinking. It is stressful to get along with such a person. It happened that a call came at this time. After he answered the phone, he told Shen Bing that the director asked him to go to check the body together. It was already past noon, and he couldn't go to dinner with us, so he asked her and a colleague to take me to the hotel and treat me well.
As soon as they went out, Shen Bing smiled and said, "I'll take you to Fu Man Lou for a meal. It's a famous restaurant."
I shook my head and said, "Let's go to Fuchun Garden. It suits my taste better."
Shen Bing's eyes widened immediately, and she shouted as if she had seen a ghost: "Hey, country bumpkin, how did you know there is a Fuchun Garden? It's a high-end restaurant, and I've only been there once."
"I can tell you don't have a boyfriend," I said, walking towards the elevator.
"How did you know?" She immediately changed the subject and said, "Who said I didn't have it? You will see it in a moment."
I suppressed my laughter and said, "He is a stingy guy. He is so stingy that he can't bear to let his girlfriend spend more money at high-end restaurants."
"I am the one who is reluctant to let go, is it your business?"
Shen Bing asked a male colleague to come downstairs. He was about my age, a little more handsome than me, and his words and actions were also very elegant. When I stood in front of him, I looked even more like a country bumpkin! Shen Bing even took his arm and introduced him to me. His name was Le Wei. He was in the same serious crime team as her and was a very good shooter.
I thought to myself, whether he is a good shooter or not has nothing to do with me. We are going out to eat, not to shoot. Besides, I hate it most when beautiful women get intimate with other men in front of me. It's disgusting. I snorted coldly, turned my head and walked forward.
They were not only going to entertain me, but also the five policemen who came from the county. When I stood at the gate waiting for them to come out, my heart drifted to the southeast of the city. I stared at that place blankly, wondering if she was doing well now. It had been three years, and she might have married and had children, and become someone else's wife. Alas, I went back after dinner to avoid being saddened by the sight.
Of course Shen Bing would not take me to Fuchun Garden for dinner. That is a place frequented by rich people, and the consumption is incredibly high. Often a meal would cost hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, and dinners that cost tens of thousands of yuan are basically rare.
Fu Man Lou is a good restaurant, one of the best in the provincial capital. I have been there several times with my girlfriend. This time, I revisited the old place, and my mood kept sinking. People are strange animals. When you are away from a place with deep memories, the memory will be sealed in your heart and gradually forgotten. Once you see the familiar old place, the past that was buried deep will rush out like a spring, and it is out of control.
These five policemen were trembling in front of their superiors, just like five shy little girls. I was different. The more I thought about it, the more depressed I felt, and the more I needed alcohol to numb me. Those five policemen didn't drink with me, and their only target was Le Wei. When we first met, my cold attitude might have made him unhappy, and he wanted to embarrass me. I didn't ask him to drink, but he asked me to drink with him. The dinner became a drinking contest between the two of us, and Shen Bing couldn't stop him, and was dumbfounded.
When I was in the army, I could drink two bottles of wine without getting drunk. But now, after drinking a bottle of white wine with this guy, I feel dizzy and lost.
I went to the bathroom and when I came out I saw Shen Bing waiting outside. She whispered to me, "Are you jealous? Le Wei is not my boyfriend yet. We are still in the observation stage. Don't take it to heart."
I was stunned when I heard this. I was just sad because of my ex-girlfriend. It had nothing to do with you. It was ridiculous. I said with a twist of my tongue, "Sister, I've said it before. In my eyes, all beauties are ghosts, including you. Don't be so wishful."
"Asshole, am I that old? How am I like your sister?"
Then I felt a pain in my eyes and there were stars all in front of me.
