Chapter 626 On the Road
However, Mr. Meng was not an old stubborn man who would not change.
The previous bar serial murders and this suburban murder case were obviously unusual, and the words and actions of the young man sleeping in the back seat of the car further confirmed this unusualness.
If the bar serial murder case was not obvious enough, he really had to look at this case from another perspective this time.
After all, he really saw too many strange phenomena tonight that could not be explained by common sense.
There were inexplicably fallen trees, collapsed ground, the sound of heavy objects stepping on the ground, and sudden gusts of wind, etc.
……
Father Meng thought that he was not so stubborn as to continue deceiving himself and others like this.
Besides, he never likes to deceive himself.
……
Facts are facts.
It will not change because of the will of others.
……
No matter how unbelievable it was, when all possibilities were eliminated and the only truth was presented before him, Father Meng chose to accept it.
……
But now these are just his guesses, everything will have to wait until Xiao Xiao wakes up.
After all, even if he had a guess, it was too unbelievable and Mr. Meng couldn't fully believe it before getting confirmation.
He, who has always been decisive, also began to hesitate. He wondered if he was overthinking.
……
Father Meng drove at lightning speed all the way, driving fast but steadily.
Back then, he never failed when chasing criminals in his car.
……
The car stopped smoothly in front of a hotel near Yanda University.
Quietly.
But just when Father Meng turned off the engine and turned around to wake up Xiao Xiao, he met Xiao Xiao's slowly opening eyes.
……
"arrive?"
Xiao Xiao's voice was a little hoarse, but the haziness in his eyes gradually dissipated.
He looked out the window with his eyes regaining some clarity, and was stunned. "Hotel?"
Just when Father Meng was about to say something, Xiao Xiao had already muttered with a look of realization: "Is it already so late?"
Because of the previous battle, he was exhausted and just wanted to go back to the dormitory to have a good sleep. He completely forgot that if the time for returning was included, it would be already past the dormitory curfew time.
He looked down at the watch on his wrist. The hour and minute hands of varying thicknesses overlapped. It was ten past two.
Next to the watch, Abai was quietly coiled around his wrist, like a very delicate white jade bracelet.
……
"Captain Meng, thank you for sending me back."
"Then I'll take my leave."
Xiao Xiao said this politely and was about to open the door and get out of the car.
……
"Master Xiao."
Father Meng opened his mouth to shout, and when he saw the young man's pale and puzzled face, he swallowed back what he was about to say, and asked with some concern: "Did you bring your ID card?"
He sent Xiao Xiao to a hotel near the school, on the one hand because Xiao Xiao said from the beginning that he wanted to go back to school, and on the other hand he didn't know if Xiao Xiao had classes the next day, so it would be more convenient to live closer.
Otherwise, Mr. Meng would have let the person stay at his house for one night.
……
"Yes, I brought it."
Xiao Xiao smiled. He had the habit of carrying his ID card in his wallet.
……
"Then you should rest well."
Father Meng hesitated to speak, and finally only said this one sentence.
He had many questions that he couldn't wait to know the answers to, but, obviously, he was not in a hurry.
Rather than answering his questions, he thought that what Master Xiao needed more now was a good night's sleep.
……
Since Meng's father cares so much about him, Xiao Xiao doesn't mind cooperating with the police investigation in return.
"I will go to the police station tomorrow."
Seeing Father Meng's eyes suddenly brighten after being stunned for a moment, he nodded, "Captain Meng, goodbye."
"Master Xiao, I'll have someone pick you up tomorrow."
Father Meng did not wait for Xiao Xiao's answer, but started the car again, "Master Xiao, goodbye." Now that he had received Master Xiao's approval, he had to rush back to the police station.
Whatever Master Xiao meant when he said that the murderer had been dealt with?
If that was what he thought it meant literally, then he still had a lot of finishing work to do.
If not, then he would have to go back and arrange the work quickly.
When the time comes, he will definitely capture the damn murderer himself and bring him to justice!
……
"Goodbye."
Xiao Xiao didn't say much.
Moreover, it was obvious that the other party did not give him any room to refuse.
Xiao Xiao curled the corners of his mouth, pushed open the door of the hotel and walked in.
……
The next day, a young police officer appeared in front of the hotel where Xiao Xiao was staying.
The eye-catching police car attracted the attention of many early risers.
……
Xiao Xiao got in the car and looked at the scenery along the way outside through the window.
He didn't want to open the window and let anyone see him sitting in the police car.
Although the police car did not sound the sirens.
He also can't ride in a police car as if it were a normal car.
……
Xiao Xiao met the police officer's gaze in the rearview mirror. He found the officer's frightened look somewhat amusing. "What's the matter?"
The police officer had been observing him through the rearview mirror since he got into the car.
……
At first Xiao Xiao didn't take it seriously, thinking that the other person was just curious.
Besides, what's wrong with taking a look? It won't hurt.
……
It’s okay if you just look at me once, and it’s tolerable if you look at me twice or three times. However, it’s also very uncomfortable to be stared at secretly like this all the time, okay?
In particular, his perception is far beyond that of ordinary people.
The discomfort became more and more obvious.
……
"Ahh, I'm sorry."
The police officer apologized in a panic.
"It doesn't matter."
Before the police officer could say anything, Xiao Xiao smiled and reminded, "The light is green."
"oh oh."
The police officer started the car quickly.
……
However, probably no car would dare to honk at a police car, right?
Xiao Xiao noticed that the car in the adjacent lane was honking its horn wildly because it was a step slower, but the lane they were in was surprisingly quiet in comparison.
……
The police officer did not glance at Xiao Xiao on the road behind him, but drove with his eyes focused on the road.
In fact, he was also very embarrassed because Xiao Xiao had caught him peeking before.
It was hard to say anything for a moment.
……
He was curious about Xiao Xiao.
This was the first time he received such a pick-up mission.
Nothing was told.
Just ask him to keep a good attitude.
That's why after seeing Xiao Xiao, he couldn't help but keep looking at him through the rearview mirror.
……
And, Master Xiao?
He thought he was looking at someone more extraordinary when he heard this name.
At least you should show that you are different from ordinary people, right?
However, thinking of Xiao Xiao's ordinary attire, which looked like a very common college student, the police officer felt indescribable disappointment.
But then he guessed, maybe this is the reason why the masters are low-key and live in seclusion from the world?
