The noon sun s.h.i.+ned brightly on the road. A taxi parked in front of an ordinary residential building.
Xiao Jing stood downstairs and raised her hand to cover her vision. She said, "officer, should we go up now or wait for news?"
"There"s no need to go up." Shen Cheng Feng pulled her hand and flipped into the courtyard of a house that was next door.
"Woof woof woof." A dog barked angrily.
"What"s Ono"s name?" A child pushed open the door, staring at the dog that was constantly making a ruckus. "Start barking from the morning, don"t bark anymore. I"ll take you out to play after I finish my homework."
"Woof woof woof." The dog was once again making a ruckus in the direction of the second floor.
The child ran into the yard and touched its ear. "Be obedient and don"t yell again."
"Awoo, awoo, awoo." The big dog stopped making noise and just laid on the ground, wagging its tail.
Shen Cheng Feng intentionally went to the roof of the second floor and looked down condescendingly at the house next door.
There were two dogs chasing each other in the house. Everything was still as usual.
A police car slowly drove into the alley and stopped in front of the residential building.
"Ding dong..." "Ding dong..." The doorbell rang.
A woman hastily ran across the courtyard and opened the door. "Is something the matter?"
"We"re here to investigate what happened last night. Please open the door."
The woman moved out of the way and said, "My husband just fell asleep. Last night, he had a round of investigation. Is it still not over?"
"Because this matter is very important, we must handle it seriously. Please forgive us." The policeman entered the house and said, "We will probably need to bring your husband away for a period of time. Please cooperate."
The woman frowned, but did not dare to obstruct the official business. She had no choice but to open the door of her house and let the two policemen in.
A moment later, the man was taken out of the house.
Xiao Jing lowered his voice, "officer, are we going to follow along?"
"Follow me." Shen Cheng Feng went around to the backyard and jumped down.
A little girl was eating an ice cream. She didn"t expect an uncle to appear out of the blue. Before she could react, another big sister jumped down with her little brother in her arms. All three of her eyes fell on the little girl.
The little fellow looked at the ice cream in her hand, stretching out its arms as if it wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h it away.
The little girl blinked and reluctantly handed her ice cream over.
Xiao Jing carried the greedy little fellow and ran towards the mouth of the alley.
The little girl was still holding her hands up in the air, still in a daze.
There was a Honda parked by the side of the road. The door was locked, and there weren"t any random people around.
Shen Cheng Feng took out a dagger, pointed it at the keyhole and opened the car door.
Xiao Jing sat in the back seat and could not help but laugh: "officer, we are soldiers, this kind of behavior is not very good to affect."
"Special treatment at special moments." Shen Cheng Feng played with the keyhole, looking at the little guy behind him through the rearview mirror, he said, "Little Treasure, generate energy."
Xiao Jing didn"t know whether to laugh or cry, "officer, do you really think that our Xiao Bao is a charging treasure?
Shen Cheng Feng corroded the ignition under the steering wheel, and with two strings connected, the engine started to hum.
The little guy was leaning against the window as he stared at the motionless little girl. His eyes were almost popping out of its sockets.
As the car moved further and further away, the little guy pouted in grievance.
Under the sunlight, a police car drove past an intersection, followed by a car.
Inside the police car, the man looked at the cars that were getting farther and farther away from the city and frowned, "Aren"t we going to the police station?"
"We need to go somewhere else and do some research." The man in police uniform calmly said as he sat in the driver"s seat.
The man panicked, "I told you everything I know yesterday, I really don"t know what these two look like. For safety, I don"t even dare to look at them, I can only confirm that they are a man and a woman."
"You"ll remember." The uniformed man said.
"I really have explained everything clearly, there is no need for me to hide these things right? I also want the murderer to be brought to justice as soon as possible. "
"I said you"d remember." On the other side, another man wearing a police uniform and a police hat had taken off his hat with a malicious expression on his face.
The man was shocked and panicked. "Aren"t you —"
Cheng Yi grabbed the man"s neck, and his fingers gradually increased his strength. His eyes darkened. "Can you remember now?"
"I, I really don"t know." The man was panting heavily.
The uniform slowly loosened its grip on him, twisting its own wrist, "Don"t worry, we will have plenty of ways to make you remember what happened last night bit by bit."
"Cough, cough, cough." The man covered his mouth and sucked in some oxygen. His eyes were filled with terror. He begged, "I really told the police everything I saw. I really didn"t dare to hold anything back."
The car entered a hot spring hotel.
Shen Cheng Feng parked the car outside the hotel, looked at the building in front of him, and was a little confused at why these people were here.
Xiao Jing lowered his car window, similarly feeling suspicious, "Could it be that R country likes to talk while taking a bath?"
Shen Cheng Feng opened the car door, "Let"s talk inside."
The two of them entered the hotel one after the other.
"Welcome." Two front desk staff led the way into the reception area, "Do you two have an appointment?"
"Nope." Shen Cheng Feng looked around, and from the corner of his eyes, his gaze landed on a light blue figure that was hurrying along the corridor.
Xiao Jing understood their officer"s intentions, and said while holding the child, "I need to go to the washroom."
The staff member pointed to a corridor at the side. "Just go all the way to the end."
Xiao Jing placed the child in Shen Cheng Feng"s embrace and quickly walked over.
From time to time, there would be one or two residents pa.s.sing by in the long and narrow corridor. The air was filled with a faint smell of sulphur.
The three of them walked up to the second floor and entered a guest room.
Xiao Jing could not understand why these people would come to the hotel. Did they think he was not eye-catching enough?
In the guest room, two men took off their police uniforms.
The vine on the ground curled up and hugged its own knee, not even daring to make a sound.
Cheng Yi put on an ordinary s.h.i.+rt and stared expressionlessly at the guy on the ground. He asked, "Chief, when are you coming?"
"He"s still having a bath with his new partner. It"ll probably take another hour or so." Another man said.
Cheng Yi snorted coldly, "This is the first time I"ve seen someone having a chat in a hotel."
"Cut the c.r.a.p. Everyone"s morale has been low recently. It"s a good thing that boss let everyone out so they can relax."
"Come on, it"s not like you don"t know that the foxy child beside him always instigates the group leader. Recently, the group leader has been completely engrossed in her warmth and can"t even complete missions."
"Let"s not talk about that for now. We just need to deal with the person in front of us." The man crouched down and looked at Gong Teng, "Are you going to explain everything yourself, or are we going to use a special method to force you?"
Gong Teng shook his head, "I really said everything."
"Do you know who died?" Cheng Da couldn"t hide her anger as she pulled Gong Teng up from the ground, "Do you know how miserable his death looks?"
"I really don"t know. I was so scared that I didn"t even dare to look at them."
"I don"t want to hear any more of your nonsense. I"ll give you one last chance, do you want to say it or not?"
"I really —" He stopped her.
BOOM! Cheng Yi"s fist landed on the other party"s cheekbone.
Gong Teng fell on the carpet and shook his dizzy head. He muttered to himself, "I really don"t know, I only know that they may not be natives. Their language is somewhat voiceless."
Cheng Yi narrowed his eyes, "You"re saying that they"re not from the same country?"
"Yes, I was quite far away at that time, so I couldn"t understand clearly. However, that woman spoke in the language of the Hua Nation."
"Hua Nation?" The uniform looked at the other man.
The other person also squatted down, "Do you still remember what they said?"
"I don"t remember. The wind was so loud that I didn"t hear anything."
"Is that so?" The uniform pulled him up from the ground and slammed him against the wall.
With a bang, the violent sound shook the entire wall, causing it to tremble uncontrollably.
Xiao Jing moved further away from the wall, and after hearing the silence from the other side, he continued to eavesdrop.
"Maybe you need something irritating to stimulate your brain"s memory."
"I remember. The dead man mentioned an address."
"What address?"
"Upper City." Gong Teng struggled to spit out these two words.
The uniform loosened its grip on him and saw him lying on the ground, sucking in another mouthful of oxygen. He looked at his partner and asked, "Did this guy betray us?"
"Inform the team leader first." The man put on his coat. "I"ll go out. You stay here."
Hearing that the other side had regained its silence, Xiao Jing could not stay any longer, and jumped down from the window.
Shen Cheng Feng stood in the hall and teased the little fellow who seemed a little unhappy from time to time.
The staff gave a wry smile. "Your wife seems to have been gone for a long time."
Shen Cheng Feng did not mind, "As a woman, she always likes to delay time."
The staff smiled and did not speak any further.
Xiao Jing returned to the main hall and carried the child back, "I seem to have delayed quite a bit of time."
"It"s okay, it"s just a vacation. We have plenty of time."
"This is your room card." The staff handed over the keys.
Xiao Jing leaned on Shen Cheng Feng and whispered, "It seems like everyone in this group is in this hotel."
"Holiday?" Shen Cheng Feng asked.
"En, they interrogated the man who survived and found out that we are from Hua Nation. officer, should we continue to do nothing, or make the first move?"
"Don"t worry, we"re looking for their lair, not this place."
"Are you sure we can take care of them?" Xiao Jing stood in the elevator, "Why do I feel like we went there to send off our heads?"
"If what the man said yesterday is true, then we really can beat the c.r.a.p out of two people."
"Then shall we continue?"
"There will always be times when you can"t defend against night and day. Do your best. At the very least, you can"t leave empty-handed."
Xiao Jing nodded and the elevator opened up.
A man entered the elevator with a woman in his arms.
The woman wore a very s.e.xy swimsuit with a thin veil wrapped around her waist. When the breeze blew, her long, fair legs could be seen.
The man beside him was wrapped in a towel, obviously not paying much attention to the two people in the elevator.
The woman said coquettishly, "You promised me that you would barbecue tonight, and now that you"re gone again, it"s so boring to leave me here by myself."
The man lightly rubbed her nose and said, "Don"t worry, I"ll be back soon. We just spent time together."
"Then come back quickly." The woman pressed herself against the man, not caring if there was anyone else behind them.
Xiao Jing quietly covered his son"s eyes with his hands, and raised his eyeb.a.l.l.s.
The little guy puffed up his mouth, picked up his hand, and started chewing.
"Clang!" The elevator suddenly shook and the lights turned black. The entire sealed room stopped moving.
"Ah!" The woman hugged the man beside her in panic and asked fearfully, "What happened?"
The man soothed her. "It"s nothing, maybe the elevator is down."
"Is he afraid?" The woman acted coquettishly.
"Don"t worry, I will protect you."
"Clang, clang, clang." The elevator rocked again.
Xiao Jing held the child tightly, watching him gnaw at his hand, and gently push him away.
The little guy struggled into Xiao Jing"s embrace with all his might, his b.u.t.t sticking out very high, unwilling to let go.
"Why hasn"t he recovered yet?" The woman said carefully.
The elevator seemed to be still falling, and from time to time it would emit a harsh screeching sound as the walls of the elevator grinded against the chain.
Shen Cheng Feng leaned in close to Xiao Jing"s ear and said in the Western language, "Wolf."
Xiao Jing suddenly realized that she could vaguely see the wolf tattoo on the man"s arm.
Shen Cheng Feng held her shoulders, and slowly moved his position.
With the help of the emergency light, the two of them were able to see the image on the man"s body even more clearly.
The woman hugged the man fearfully. "Can we get out?"
The man laughed mockingly, "With me here, no matter what, we can escape."
"Crack crack crack." The elevator suddenly descended again, the impact causing the entire elevator to shake.
The woman lost her balance and fell to the ground. "I don"t want to stay here."
The man walked quickly to the panel and pressed the alarm. "What"s going on? How long has it been?
There was no sound coming from the phone, as if the man had just said something like playing a lute to a cow.
The woman s.h.i.+vered. "Why didn"t anyone respond to us?"
"Maybe he went to overhaul it. There"s no hurry, let"s wait a little longer." The man started to get nervous.
Inside the control room, the security guard kept talking into the microphone, but still didn"t receive any response. The video flashed a few times, then all went black.
In the guest room, everyone was gathered.
Cheng Yi put out his cigarette and asked with a displeased expression, "Why hasn"t the team leader arrived yet?"
"I just saw him going to the hot spring with that woman. He should be on his way." Another person replied.
Cheng Yi snorted coldly. "Women can only be a burden."
"Sure, you brat. If you don"t know how to speak, then shut up." A woman stared at him coldly.
Cheng Yi smiled wryly, "I"m not talking about you."
"You should still smoke your cigarette obediently and shut your mouth."
Seven or eight people stood in the guest room, and Gong Teng tried his best to reduce the feeling of his own existence.
"Ding … …" The phone rang in the room.
A person pressed the answer b.u.t.ton, and a moment later, he hurriedly said, "Chief is trapped in the elevator. Right now, the elevator is not moving. We need to rescue him."
"Hahaha." Cheng Yi couldn"t help but laugh out loud, "Team leader, you even had a chance to ask for help? Am I hearing things? "
"Stop making sarcastic remarks and act quickly."
The few of them stood in front of the elevator and looked at the stopped number. They then walked down from the fire escape to the second floor.
In front of the elevator, the staff was also in a hurry to repair the elevator. However, they were unable to open the locked elevator door after a few tries.
The elevator changed again, suddenly rising several floors.
At first, the elevator had broken down on the fourth floor, but they were in a hurry to repair it. Just as they were halfway through, the elevator slid to the first floor, and they moved on to the second floor. This time, they went directly to the top floor.
The group of people ran around the stairs, out of breath.
Inside the elevator, the woman leaned against the man"s chest and sobbed softly, "Are we unable to get out?"
"No worries, no worries. I"ve already called our team members. They will rush over immediately."
"But can they repair elevators?"
"They won"t either. This is my order."
The woman"s eyes twinkled. "You really are my hero."
The man lowered his head and covered the woman"s lips with his own.
"Whap." The elevator lit up, and the numbers went down one floor at a time.
The woman was overjoyed, "They fixed it?"
The man proudly shook his head. "I"ve said it before, even if they won"t, they will."
"Whap." The elevator lights dimmed again and stopped falling again.
In the enclosed s.p.a.ce, the atmosphere was a bit awkward.
