Chapter 1317 Interstellar Stage (Twenty-Four)

Chapter 1310 The Interstellar Stage (24)

As night falls, the Bronx is obviously much darker than other districts in New York. People here are used to going home early, and the increasingly bad security situation puts pressure on everyone, including not only citizens, but also the police.

The increasing number of protests has made everyone nervous. The police even had to dispatch one-third of the police force in the Bronx to conduct night patrols. There were flashing police lights on almost every street, and pedestrians hurriedly walked past with their heads lowered. , I was angry at the scrutiny of the police, but there was nothing I could do about it.

Two policemen, an old man and a young man, were leaning against the police car with their eyes half-closed to rest. Suddenly, they heard a greeting and looked up to see a young Chinese man carrying a lot of lunch boxes standing in front of them.

"Officers, your dinner."

"Oh, aren't you the chef at the restaurant at the end of Chinatown? We didn't order anything from you today." The young policeman said with some confusion.

However, the old policeman took over the stack of lunch boxes with ease. The young policeman looked at his actions with some doubts. The old policeman took a puff of cigarette, looked at the young man and said: "Don't worry, there are two streets at both ends of Chinatown." Someone is guarding it, so the troublemakers can't get to you."

"Oh, by the way, you have to open two hours late tomorrow morning. Someone is going to pass by the intersection in front of you. They are the rat-toothed men of the Black Street gang. They will definitely shoot when the time comes. Tell your boss to hide in the store. Don't come out, or you'll get shot."

The Chinese young man stroked his chest and took a deep breath and said: Thank you very much, police officer. If you hadn't reminded me, I would have wanted to deliver the food tomorrow morning. "

The old policeman opened the lunch box and said, "Are you Chinese? Don't worry, the Chinese gangsters are famous. Shuya doesn't dare to offend your boss there. You just hide and no one dares to trouble you."

The Chinese young man immediately smiled gratefully, but then showed a slightly embarrassed expression. He took out two lunch boxes from the package on the back of the bicycle and said, "Mr. Police Officer, I'm afraid I have to trouble you to pass this on. Officer Julie ordered the meal at our restaurant, but she seemed to be on the street."

The old police officer waved his hand a little impatiently, put down the lunch box, moved the roadblock aside, and said: "Just go in and deliver it to her. By the way, don't expect her to give a tip. What happened during the day She is very angry. Come out immediately after delivering the food, otherwise you will be troubled by that crazy drunk woman. "

"Thank you, thank you! I'll be out right after delivering the food."

The young man pushed his bicycle into the blockade. He chuckled softly and said in his mind: "I told you a long time ago that there is no need to knock down the police. I hate beating and killing."

There was a cold snort in his head, and Venom said angrily: "If you hadn't insisted on eating, getting clothes, punching in, and packing lesson plans, we would have finished the work a few hours earlier!"

"And you Asians are always like this. In order to avoid conflicts, you would rather make many detours. Efficiency! We want efficiency!"

"Don't be like this, Venom, isn't this efficient enough? I just went back to the restaurant where I helped cook and cooked 8 more meals while the boss was away. Of course, they only ordered 7... So, do you want one? ?”

"I want the sweet and sour pork loin and black chicken soup!"

"You are so good at choosing." Xu Shangqi reached out to open the package hanging on the back of the bicycle and took out two hot meals. In the corner of the building, venom instantly enveloped his body and he swallowed two portions in one bite. A lunch box.

“Hot, hot, hot!!!”

Venom screamed, chewing the rice in his mouth while gasping, and said: "Of course, I have been to a Chinese restaurant with Eddie, but the food there is extremely expensive. After Eddie resigned, he I don’t have that much money to eat.”

"So you ended up eating all those Chinese meals?"

"Absolutely. He said he has a small appetite. Every time there is a pile of food left, I take care of it." Venom licked his fangs, but to his surprise, Xu Shangqi said: "Then he must be very I love you. My mother also said that she had no appetite for food, so she left the delicious food to me.”

Venom was silent for a while and said, "Is your mother still waiting for you at home?"

"Maybe, but she may never be able to wait for me." Xu Shangqi shook his head, and then said with some confusion: "Can't you see my memory? Can't you see my past?"

"I have no interest in the past of a head of lettuce."

"All right."

"Wait a minute, are you okay with me calling you a ball lettuce?"

"I quite like lettuce, it's delicious and nutritious."

Venom shut up.

He found that this young man had a really good temper, and could even be called a bit submissive. He was different from all the hosts he had ever met. Even Peter, who was the least quarrelsome, was not as calm as him. Let's laugh.

Soon, Xu Shangqi, who entered the cordon on the pretext of delivering food, arrived in front of a building in the Bronx. The cordon here was denser, and two police cars were parked. A blond female police officer looked serious. standing at the door.

"Excuse me, who is Officer Julies?" Xu Shangqi shouted: "The meal you ordered has arrived, do you want to open it now?"

The female police officer turned around and winked at the subordinate next to her, but she thought about it again and stepped forward to take the lunch box from Xu Shangqi. Xu Shangqi helped her open the lunch box and took apart the chopsticks, while saying: He asked curiously: "Officer, what's going on?"

The female police officer was a little wary at first, but when she saw Xu Shangqi’s face, she recalled that this young man seemed to be always delivering food nearby, so she said: “Pierre Reeves, the leader of the protest the day before yesterday, was at 3 this afternoon. He was found dead in his home, shot with the same type of bullet commonly used by the Bronx police.”

Xu Shangqi took a breath and looked a little unhappy. He was not acting for a show. He had never encountered a murder case since he was a child. The thought that there might be a corpse lying in this house made him feel uncomfortable.

Finding that Xu Shangqi's reaction did not seem to be fake, the female police officer was even more relieved, so she asked: "You have been delivering food around here recently, have you seen any suspicious people?"

Xu Shangqi recalled it, but couldn't think of anything. Just when he was about to refuse, Venom said in his head: "Tell her yes."

"Isn't that a lie?"

"I'm not lying. You really saw a suspicious person. It's just that you didn't notice it yourself and didn't pay attention to him, so you can't remember it. But I looked at your recent memory and there is a person who is indeed suspicious. You took the photo I told her."

"It seems there is, police officer." Xu Shangqi replied.

As soon as he said these words, all the surrounding police officers came around with a huff, and the sound of pistol loading sounded one after another. Xu Shangqi was immediately frightened and hesitated a little. He was really allergic to firearms.

The female police officer looked at Xu Shangqi's obviously Asian face. She waved to the people around her and said, "Don't make a fuss. Asians are afraid of guns. Don't you know? Everyone spread out and take out my law enforcement recorder." Bring it over."

"Listen, kid, I hope to get clues, but I also don't want to be fooled, so I will use the body camera to record your next words. You have to be responsible for what you said."

The female police officer was already very restrained. Under the law enforcement style of the American police, her way of speaking could be considered gentle, but Xu Shangqi was still a little worried, but the venom had already controlled his mouth.

"That day, I went to deliver food at No. 9 Solon Street. The owner of the bakery there ordered a small portion of steamed buns and millet porridge. When I finished delivering the food and walked out, I saw a man in a suit and leather shoes entering the shop next to him. Smoke Shop.”

"The suit he is wearing must be of a pretty good brand. I saw many such customers when I was working as a cook in a Chinese restaurant."

The female police officer immediately frowned. She first looked at Xu Shangqi's clothes as a cook, and then believed what he said.

The Chinese restaurant where Xu Shangqi is located is indeed a restaurant that only the middle class can afford.

In fact, Chinese restaurants in New York's Chinatown are very expensive. A very ordinary stir-fry dish can cost tens of dollars, which is impossible for ordinary people to afford.

"No. 9 Solon Street? No, that's not a middle-class community. How could a man wearing a suit that can enter a Chinese restaurant appear there?" the female police officer said to herself.

"Are there any other characteristics?" she asked.

"If I read it correctly, he had a camera in his briefcase. When he walked past me, the surface of the briefcase had the outline of the camera and the protrusion of the lens."

The female police officer immediately opened her eyes wide and said, "Reporter?!"

"Oh, it turns out he is a reporter," Venom continued, "That shouldn't be much of a clue, right? There are a lot of reporters these days. They all want to take pictures of the protests, right?"

"No, there are no protests over Solon Street. On the contrary, that street is very close to here... He is most likely to film the murderer, which means he knew in advance that the murderer would do it, or in other words, The murderer may have been arranged by one of their people!”

The female police officer groped her lips with her hands and speculated, then she frowned and said, "But we couldn't arrest him right away. It's hard to guess who instigated all this."

"Isn't this simple?" Venom shrugged and said, "Whoever reports the murder first tomorrow morning will be the one."

The female police officer looked at Xu Shangqi with wide eyes. Venom spread his hands and said, "Originally, they took such a big risk, spent so much effort, killed people and arranged for reporters. They must have wanted to create a hot spot."

"However, only the first piece of news that comes out will be very popular. No other follow-up interview can be as good as first-hand information. Just look at which newspaper will be the first to break the case tomorrow, and you will know who is behind it. Are you involved with any newspaper?"

"Yes, you are right." The female police officer said instinctively, but at this moment, a police officer rushed in in a panic and said to the female police officer: "It's not good, Officer Julies! The New York TV station just An urgent news break was announced that a leader of the Bronx protests had been murdered and the police ruled the case a suicide!”

Officer Julie's eyes widened with anger. She said, "We haven't even started investigating yet, but we've made a decision?! And who spread the news? Didn't we cordon off the scene?"

"Obviously, they were framed together." Venom shook his head and said.

Julie gritted her teeth and said, "These damn paparazzi! They are so bold as to plan a murder to make news. No, no, I understand. It's another way to intensify conflicts, damn it!"

After that, she sighed helplessly and said, "If I go back to the police station to apply for an arrest warrant now, I'm afraid it will take at least tomorrow night to get it approved. By then, the murderer will have destroyed the evidence and escaped... It's not the first time."

"Maybe, I can help." Venom looked into Officer Julie's eyes and said, "I knock on other people's doors, but I don't need a search warrant."

Julis looked at him with some confusion, but then showed an expression of sudden enlightenment and said, "Yes! You are a delivery man! You are also Asian. No one would think that Asians would help the police. You always stay away."

"But are you really willing to help?" Julie pursed her lips and said, "I have to remind you that this is very dangerous. The other party must have a gun, and there may be something more dangerous than a gun."

This attitude surprised Xu Shangqi a little. The American police's style of doing whatever it takes to achieve performance is famous all over the world.

Jules looked at Xu Shangqi's face and said, "You are about the same age as my brother. Your mother must be waiting for you to come home, so if you are afraid, I will pretend that I never said this... I will apply for a search warrant."

"Whether you want to go with her or not is up to you." Venom fell silent after he finished speaking.

Xu Shangqi took a deep breath. He was really scared. He had never seen so many guns and bullets in his life. Any of them would kill him.

But at the same time, he had another emotion. Would this innocent protest leader who died have a chance to travel through time? In the conflict of the protest, did the citizens and police who died have a chance to travel through time?

According to common sense, there must be no chance, but they didn't have to travel through time. They could live their lives well, enjoy such advanced technology, and live a stable life.

But now, some people don't want them to continue living like this. Some people want to turn back the times and want everything to return to the time when productivity was insufficient. So why do these people do this?

Technological development and social progress are good things for any ordinary person, except for a group of people - those who are above others and want to continue to survive by exploiting others, who are not enterprising and do not want others to progress, and are real demons.

That group of exploiters, who his compatriots once fought for and sacrificed their lives for, and who will also bury the last shovel of soil.

Xu Shangqi is indeed afraid of death, but at least he is sure of one thing, that in this world, his motherland is still very strong.

He is not without a home or relatives. There are thousands of obstacles and a world of thousands of squares, but they are only a class away and a comrade close.

The helplessness of drifting in another world will definitely hone a firmer will. The lonely and helpless wanderer needs a greater ideal to drive away the pain. The more pain he feels, the more he wants to be great.

Then what ideal can be greater than that, to laugh with the laughter of mankind, to feel happy for the happiness of mankind, to let thousands of mothers wait for their children in expectation, and to let thousands of children see their mothers after being exhausted?

"Are you telling the truth?" Xu Shangqi suddenly asked in his mind.

"What is true?"

"The thing about taking me to be a superhero."

"Of course it's true."

Xu Shangqi smiled shyly and said.

"Okay, officer, let's go."
