Chapter 18 The Remote Garage
Although she still had a lot of work, Xiaoxia left the office the next day as soon as the sky was dark. She would rather take her work home than stay alone in the office. At the entrance of the building, she met the security guard Xiao Zhang, and felt irritated, especially when Xiao Zhang smiled at her, but she knew that the real Xiao Zhang was in front of her, and her feelings were at the blame.
She didn't know how long the impact of this incident would last for her, but she had to end it as soon as she entered the bar door and chased Liu Tie everywhere.
"Ask you something." She tried not to be so focused, "Do you know that Tao Xiaochun ran away from home in your school? She is your hardcore fan. Did she not leave any souvenirs for you, a handsome guy?"
"Run away from home?" Liu Tie stopped his work, "but everyone in the school guessed that she must have been killed, after all, it was not so peaceful recently."
"guess?"
"Yes. Because there were murder plots in the previous cases, this time it was mysteriously missing, so everyone is just speculating. I really hope that the warlock's sage will fall into the French Open as soon as possible."
"How do you know that it was done by a warlock, and others follow the crowd and have no personality!" Xiao Xia got angry when she heard that someone had accused Ruan Zhan.
Liu Tie looked at the follower beside him strangely, not understanding why she was so excited. Xiao Xia also realized that she had overreacted and quickly adjusted her emotions, "If you don't talk about this, let's talk about whether you have any clues."
"What are you asking about this? Sister Xiao Xia."
"You know I am now serving as the legal representative of your school," Xiao Xia made up a mess. "Whether murder or missing, the school always has to give an explanation to parents, so this kind of investigation is also my service."
"Sister Xiaoxia, go and be a detective!"
"Stop talking nonsense, think about it carefully. Everyone in the school knows that she likes you very much, maybe there are really some details you didn't pay attention to."
"Is Tao Xiaochun really related to that series of murders?" Liu Tie stopped and asked seriously.
He is not stupid. Last time Xiaoxia asked him to act with Ni Yang to work together to investigate whether Tao Xiaochun had watched the school basketball team's game, he felt strange. Ask Sister Xiaoxia, but she refused to say it. Tao Xiaochun then disappeared, and Sister Xiaoxia is so anxious to investigate this matter now, so there must be something wrong.
Looking at his young and serious face, Xiao Xia said seriously: "So that - you are an adult, you should know that some secrets are inconvenient to reveal. It is not that I don't trust you, but a matter of discipline. Besides, it is also harmful to you. Actually, I don't know all the facts. Now you just need to recall carefully whether there are any relevant clues, just help me, and help Tao Xiaochun. After all, she is your classmate and your admirer."
Liu Tie was stunned for a moment, then nodded. "I understand, Sister Xiaoxia, I don't want to ask anything. I just -- I just couldn't imagine that so many terrible things would happen. Now the school is blocking the outside world, and people are panic on the school..."
"Xiao Tie, my wine!" a customer interrupted them.
Liu Tie agreed, and Xiao Xia continued to be a follower. "So I want you to recall carefully any valuable clues. In my opinion, a young girl will leave her sweetheart and leave something for him." There must be, otherwise Tao Xiaochun's grandparents would not say that, and she always had a feeling that Tao Xiaochun must have had an accident to give Liu Tie a farewell gift, so wherever this thing was delivered became the key. In fact, they could run to the school to attract the bloody Mary, defeat it and ask Tao Xiaochun's news to rescue her trapped soul, but it may be driven away, but it may not be cooperative, and it is too risky and unplanned, which is unfair to Ruan Zhan.
"But there is really nothing!" Liu Tie frowned, "Although Tao Xiaochun is a little special to me, I can't feel it, but she is a very reserved person and has no expression! Besides, there are only a few ways for her to give me things, to my dormitory, to hand them over to me personally, and to ask a friend to bring them to me. She has been missing for so long today. If there is really something, she should have arrived long ago!"
Yes, it is really unlikely to be in terms of time. Did Tao Xiaochun’s grandparents remember the wrong memory, or did she not deliver it in panic? Or did something go wrong and not deliver it? Liu Tie missed some links?
"I'll think about it again." Liu Tie supported Xiao Xia, who almost tripped because he was wandering behind him, "I'll be the first to notify you of news, and even the police didn't tell you."
"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner when I'm back."
"I haven't invited it last time!"
"Just just keep the account in mind."
"Then I'm welcome, I owe me twice." Liu Tie stretched out his two fingers, "Now I'm going to work."
Xiao Xia waved her hand and walked to the bar in frustration, lying on the platform with no image. Liu Tie either didn't have anything from Tao Xiaochun or couldn't remember it, which means that her plan did not progress. What should I do?
"What are you doing, little sister, I want to take all the sizes?" A woman's voice came slowly.
Xiao Xia looked in the voice and saw that it was the woman she met for the first time in the bar, Sister Gu. She looked at Xiao Xia with both teasing and jealousy, and the women around her also looked playful.
I also said that I came here to relax and drink, not to catch handsome guys! Who believes it!
She sighed helplessly: "Everyone said that I am not Boss Ruan's lover, but his creditor, why don't you believe it?"
"Tsk, if Azhan is in debt, I won't believe it." A woman said, "After so many years, I have long seen that Azhan is a proud person, and will solve everything by himself. She is the most responsible man."
"Yes." Another woman said: "Even if I really don't make any progress in the short term, why didn't I catch such a good opportunity? Otherwise, I would have to make him owe me the debt if I lost all my money."
"Believe it or not! Don't worry, I'm not interested in all the men here, you need to kill or cut them, steam or cook them, it has nothing to do with me. I can also give you a free advice. It's useless to deal with the men here, especially when you are in the boss. It's better to take the initiative to attack. Listen to me, I'll wait for the good news of your victory! Just don't forget to call me to visit when eating him, just open your eyes, otherwise the remaining remains can be watched."
"real?"
"Really more than pearls!"
"What do you say, Azhan?"
Xiao Xia was startled and realized that at some point Ruan Zhan happened to have taken something into the bar. The women were quite sinister and didn't remind her at all, nor did he know if he heard her instigating these lustful women to eat him.
"I owed Miss Yue, but I'm about to 'pay it'." Ruan Zhan said lightly, smiling so gentle and beautifully on his face, but Xiao Xia knew he was gritting his teeth.
"Is this true? Azhan, aren't you covering her?" Sister Gu said meaningfully: "I'll tell me if there are any difficulties next time. If you have a friend, you can help you, so as not to be blackmailed."
"It's nothing, it's just a mistake, a small mistake." Ruan Zhan glanced at Xiaoxia. Yes, it was him who made a mistake in making bad friends. Wanli, this bastard, hid in Italy himself.
Xiao Xia, who saw this situation, thought that something big was wrong, so he must coax him! Generally speaking, carrots and sticks are very effective for men, and maybe they can try it for Ruan Zhan.
"Hey, I remembered it." Xiao Xia smiled flatteringly, almost flattering. "On the way home from get off work today, I saw a motorcycle jacket. It was so handsome. I think you will look good when you wear it. Otherwise, I will give you one? Change your image occasionally!"
Ruan Zhan looked at her unexpectedly, as if he listened seriously, but in fact he didn't relieve his anger, but his handsome and calm side face made the women fascinated.
At this time, Liu Tie, who happened to come over, suddenly stopped hearing Xiao Xia's words, and said as if he remembered something: "Motorcycle?! Sister Xiao Xia, I remembered it, it's a motorcycle!"
Motorcycle? Is Liu Tie talking about gifts? Tao Xiaochun is so generous, using motorcycles as a parting gift!
Xiao Xia was very surprised and quickly pulled Liu Tie to the corner, regardless of whether Ruan Zhan's anger was still strong or whether his or her actions were in awesome, so he asked him anxiously what he had remembered.
"I have always wanted to repair my cousin's abandoned motorcycle and convert it into a larger horsepower, and all of them use the old parts I bought to realize this wish, so I have been doing this since last semester. But there has been no progress before, and it is just a frame after getting it. However, after school started this year, Ni Yang found a lot of parts from somewhere and came to help me every day, so the progress has made rapid progress and was just completed two weeks ago." Liu Tie was a little excited about his dream, but Xiaoxia was eager to know the details related to Tao Xiaochun.
"What does this have to do with Tao Xiaochun?"
"She said she had a relative who built a car park and could help me find an imported carburetor that was very cheap to sell to me, but she never brought it. My car now uses a domestic carburetor. Sister Xiaoxia, you don't know, it's not that I don't support domestic products, it's because of the performance of imported carburetors - forget it, I'm off topic. I mean, if she really runs away from home and gives me something before she leaves, it's probably that. She knows that it's what I want the most, and she has agreed."
"Where are you modifying your car?" Xiao Xia asked nervously.
"Do you know there is an old garage in the middle of the school? It's right behind the old building in the northwest corner." Liu Tie gestured for a moment, indicating how remote the place was. "Last semester we borrowed a drama from the principal and arranged a drama. Later, we found that there were no people there, and only stored two old cars that were eliminated from the school's tertiary industry. They were probably waiting to be sold but they had not yet sold at the right price. I - I put the car there, and when I had time, I would go there. I originally wanted to go to the test drive after the modification, but I was busy this time, and the school had so many things and was in no mood, so I didn't go there. Do you think Yin Tao Xiaochun would have been there?"
The remote and dark garage, enclosed space, cars and motorcycles will have rearview mirrors -
Xiaoxia turned pale because of this news. She knew that they had found the right direction and that must be the place!
She turned around and signaled to Ruan Zhan that there was news, and then solemnly said to Liu Tie: "Promise me, you don't want to go to that place these days."
"Why? Tao Xiaochun--"
"Maybe that's where she's last, you'll ruin the scene and affect the chance to find her. So don't go, and don't leak the news, do you understand?"
"But, is it necessary to be so mysterious? Not to report to the police?"
"I will deal with this." Xiaoxia had no choice but to reveal some news, "This may involve murder. The opponent doesn't know who it is, so you must stay out of it, otherwise it will affect the entire case. Promise me not to go there."
Looking at Xiao Xia's rare serious expression, Liu Tie couldn't help but nodded in agreement, but he suddenly remembered something and said hesitantly: "There is another thing-I don't know if it's necessary to tell you, and I don't know how it appeared in my mind, but I don't feel that this matter is very good. I think it may be of some use to you!"
"What's up?"
"Recently, someone has always come to the school to inquire about those incidents." Liu Tie didn't know what to say, "It's not like a policeman, I think he's a little weird."
"What does it look like?"
"I am in my forties, my skin is very white and a little rich. I am actually very good-looking, but - how to say - it makes people uncomfortable."
