Volume 2 The Curse of the Ba People Chapter 93: The Bull Head Phantom, the Mystery of Its Disappearance
You can tell it’s the authentic Yellow Crane Tower by the smell of smoke. The price is not too luxurious, but not low either. If an average person eats two packets a day, their salary will be gone before the end of the month.
Looking at the old police officer puffing out cigarettes, Yin Hui finally understood why he had chosen such a name. It turned out that he was a real old smoker! Haha!
"Our duty is to nip any major incident in the bud before it breaks out, rather than doing nothing and waiting here !" Cordonnan was obviously unhappy.
Even the wording is mixed with Chinese idioms.
Yin Hui keenly felt that the group was currently divided. It was obvious that Huanghelou and Conan Doyle had different ideas and held their own opinions.
Thinking of this, he laughed secretly in his heart, trying to interrupt the current state of silence: "You know what, I encountered a strange thing yesterday. I don't know if it has any external connection with the case in front of me. In short, I feel that it is very strange, extremely strange, very strange..."
Yin Hun touched his head, even though his hairstyle was already a mess.
"Oh! Anything that can puzzle Mr. Exorcist must be very interesting. I'm all ears." Conan Doyle became interested, but he felt that she currently liked to use various Chinese idioms in her sentences to express her efforts in learning.
Yin Hui smiled and opened his hands to Huang Helou. The meaning was obvious: good things should be shared. Huang Helou narrowed his eyes, then took out a cigarette and lit it for him. He took another one for himself .
In fact, Yin Hui was only used to smoking one brand of cigarettes, Yunnan Yunnan, which was soft in the mouth and not too pungent. But when he saw Huanghelou enjoying himself, and he happened to not bring any cigarettes with him, he got addicted unconsciously.
But who knew that as soon as I took a puff, I would feel a spicy sensation in my trachea , as if something was stuck in the middle and could neither go up nor down. In desperation, I had to spit out the cigarette quickly, my face slightly flushed, and tears welled up in my eyes.
"Actually... cough cough." Yin Hun couldn't help but coughed heavily, which made him lose face and felt quite awkward.
"Haha! This smoke is very strong. It's normal that you're not used to it." The old smoker Huang Helou seemed to see Yin Hun's embarrassment and hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
Yin Hui smiled embarrassedly and said nothing more. Cordonnan was not too unfamiliar with cigarettes, she was only concerned about what the other party was talking about.
She had been busy for a few days, working diligently day and night. Although her physical condition was not too bad, she still had a dull headache due to the overload of work. Now that she heard that Yin Hui could provide relevant clues, she naturally became more energetic.
"Well! Do you know Yu Group's chief CEO, Yu Tianlai?" Yin Hun crossed his arms and kept the secret.
"Yu Tianlai?" Conan Doyle's face flashed with doubt. "I know him. He is one of the famous businessmen in this city. He is also keen on charity. But his personal reputation is not very good."
"Haha! That's him." Yin Hui nodded. "I'm not sure if he has anything to do with this. But he was in trouble only in the past few days. Moreover, he was taken away suddenly by something. I have used Taoist instruments to calculate it, but unfortunately, there is only one scene that is not very clear. It is a desolate place. It is not very clear, but compared with the pattern on my master's body, the styles of the two are really similar. The same simplicity, ruggedness, and full of unknown mystery."
"Oh?" Cordonnan's voice changed: "Are you saying that something happened to Yu Tianlai?"
"Yes, just yesterday, reported missing."
"So you mean the person who took him away?"
"I saw it in the surveillance records taken away by the police," Yin Hun explained.
"So that's it!" Conan Doyle nodded, and suddenly her expression changed: "No, no!" After saying that, she started to circle around in place.
After completing the third circle, she suddenly raised her head, her golden curly hair covering her eyes: "You are right, there may really be some commonality between the two. And now, I can tell you responsibly that the person who can take Yu Tian away is definitely not a normal human being."
"Not a normal human?" Yin Hun was stunned when he heard this: "What exactly do you mean? If he was not taken away by a human, then who else could have taken him away? An alien? Could it be Ultraman?" When he said this, he even laughed.
"No, no, no!" Conan Doyle shook his head. "I have a record of the Yu Group's building. It is very carefully laid out. Basically, there is a checkpoint on each floor. It is second only to the core area of our Public Security Bureau. Especially the office of the head, bulletproof glass and the Swiss Clady unmanned control system are enabled. Some corners also have infrared sensors. Even if a bird accidentally touches it, the alarm will spread throughout the security center in a millisecond. If there is a traitor in the company who kills Yu Tianlai, there is still a chance, but taking him alive and escaping alone, even if our team is dispatched, it will be difficult to deal with it."
After listening to Conan Doyle's words, Yin Hui finally understood that some scenes in those American blockbusters actually exist in real life, such as the unmanned control system and infrared sensors. However, he also knew that now was not the time to sigh: "By the way, the video footage before Yu Tianlai disappeared was taken away by Chief Inspector Ouyang Xue of the police station. I think if we really want to get started, we can follow the clues from here."
Without saying anything, Cordonnan found a hat and put it on, then picked up a pair of sunglasses and said, "Come with me! It's the place you mentioned."
"Police station?" Yin Hun didn't expect the other party to be so anxious.
"Yes!" Conan Doyle looked back and smiled.
Conan Doyle's car is "Land Rover", a black off-road jeep with rough lines and great style, which is very close to the personality of this woman. "Land Rover" is the pride of the British Rover automobile industry. According to legend, Rover is a nation in Northern Europe, and it used Rover as the trademark name when producing bicycles. In 1904, the car was produced, and "Rover" was still used as the license plate name. Because the Rover nation is a brave and warlike pirate nation, the Rover car trademark uses a pirate ship with a red sail, which symbolizes the company's fearless spirit of riding the wind and waves and being invincible.
Soon, the SUV stopped at the entrance of the police station. On the one hand, Conan Doyle was a foreigner, and on the other hand, due to the special nature of her identity, it was not convenient for her to show up in public at the moment. So, she asked Yin Hui to introduce herself.
At this time, there were not many people on duty in the police station, most of them were on duty to handle cases. The few who had met Yin Hun before knew that he was the "pending lover" of the tomboy inside, so they did not make things difficult for him. They just thought that he was here for a date or a marriage proposal, and smiled and watched the fun without stopping him. They just asked about the origins of the people behind him, and Yin Hun said they were friends, so the police did not ask any more questions.
"Yin Hui, you're here at the right time. This surveillance video... Hey, who are you?" Ouyang Xue, who was holding a coffee cup, raised her head and happened to see Kordaonan, the Yellow Crane Tower and the scalpel behind Yin Hui, so she asked curiously.
"Who are these people..." Yin Hui was about to explain when Conan Doyle closed the door and handed over his ID: "Hello, beautiful lady. I am an employee of the Public Security Bureau and they are my colleagues. We came here this time to get a copy of the surveillance video of Yu Tianlai's office. We hope to work together."
Cordonan, who has always handled cases efficiently and decisively, did not exchange too many pleasantries with Ouyang Xue. Instead, he immediately sat down next to Ouyang Xue in a businesslike manner and also stared at the computer screen.
Ouyang Xue didn't react for a while, and was stunned for a long time before saying: "You are Conan, isn't Conan the Japanese kid?"
"Hey, that's a cartoon! Don't put the cartoon and the person's name together." Yin Hui found it difficult to describe the IQ of this tomboy.
"You...what do you mean, you are mocking me!" Ouyang Xue had to remain reserved in front of Conan Doyle, otherwise the coffee cup in her hand would have flown out long ago.
"Tell the truth." Yin Hun smiled triumphantly and hid behind the scalpel, which made this Frankenstein laugh so hard that even Huang Helou couldn't help but smile.
"Haha! It doesn't matter. Where is the surveillance video?" Conan Doyle took off his sunglasses.
"It's on the computer, you can watch it yourself!" After saying that, Ouyang Xue turned on the high-definition mode of Baofeng Video and then typed the video file. Before that, she looked at the foreign woman with a strange look.
This foreigner actually came from the highest level of the Public Security Bureau, and was the type who would listen to instructions and not ignore them. Just looking at her position, she was many times more senior than me, the inspector. I was afraid that only my father could suppress her.
It was strange, who was she? How could this boy Yin Hui be related to him?
Strange, really strange.
However, her facial expressions and movements were not noticed by others, because everyone's eyes were completely fixed on every detail of the surveillance video.
Suddenly, a sound like a tape jam was heard in the camera.
"Look, look!" Yin Hun pointed at the screen with an excited look.
After his reminder, everyone was on high alert, except Ouyang Xue, who had watched it beforehand and was not surprised at all. Instead, she held her chin and appreciated every facial expression of Yin Hun.
"This..." After a few seconds, Yin Hun was dumbfounded. Seeing his deflated look, Ouyang Xue smiled happily, as if she had gained a great benefit.
However, Yin Hui was not the only one. Even the experienced Koldonan stared with his eyes wide open, and he didn't even notice that his hat had slipped down his chest.
Scalpel's eyes didn't blink and his face was stiff, but from his retracted pupils one could still tell that his heart was surging with undercurrents.
Only Huanghelou had a calm attitude from beginning to end, and was not affected by external things. In the previous chat, Yin Hui knew that he was originally an old policeman, meticulous, watertight, and never dragged his feet in doing things. Now it seems that this is true.
So, what did they see?
The clock goes back three hours...
Yu Tianlai lay quietly in the chair and stretched. There were some company documents in front of him. Judging from his appearance, he had been reviewing too many documents and wanted to take a break.
At this moment, a tall shadow gradually appeared behind him. It was vaguely a human figure, but the head had two horns like a cow. A rustling sound came from the microphone. At the same time, the shadow covered Yu Tianlai's entire body. Perhaps he felt something was wrong around him, so he opened his eyes, but at that moment, the shadow disappeared, and Yu Tianlai himself disappeared with it!
But nothing was left at the scene, even the boss's chair still had the residual warmth from where he had just sat.
"What's going on?" Cordonnan grabbed the mouse and watched it three times in a row. Every frame of the picture was very consistent, and the movement of the projection was completely in line with the principles of light and shadow. There was no trace of PS. All this could only prove that every tree and blade of grass in the camera was real.
Ouyang Xue sighed helplessly: "If I knew, would I still be sitting here?" "After watching for a few hours, I don't know if all this is true or not. It's really too fantastic."
"Unbelievable!" Yin Hui did not argue with Ouyang Xue this time. He just kept repeating these four words. After a while, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Conan Doyle, I'm afraid we are really in big trouble this time!"
Conan Doyle's eyes were stern. "Please give me a copy of this video. Also, please do not let anyone else know about it. This involves state secrets."
After saying that, she picked up the glasses, took off one of the legs, and with a pull and a push, a port was exposed. She plugged the port into Ouyang Xue's computer.
"This is a USB drive, speed."
Although Ouyang Xue was very curious about this peculiar structure, she still restrained her curiosity and nodded cautiously.
