Chapter 3 Take Back
Dong, da, da, da, dong...
After listening carefully for a few more seconds, Qi Yi was sure that someone was really knocking on the window. The force was not heavy, there was no rhythm, and the sound was slightly muffled, as if he was tapping with the palm of his hand.
But there is clearly nothing outside the window...
No, every time there was a knocking sound, a black shadow seemed to pass by quickly, it was very blurry, and Qi Yi was not sure whether he was dazzled.
He turned off the light in the bathroom with his backhand and slowly walked to the window.
Without the interference of light, the scene outside was much clearer. Qi Yi saw a crowd of crows gathered not far from the window.
These crows were flying up and down around the detachment building, but none of them made a cry, and the sound of flapping their wings was very small. Qi Yi could hardly hear anything from the window.
Standing in the dark toilet, looking at a large group of crows flying silently in the dark outside, Qi Yi's pupils unconsciously became dark and deep.
This scene was a bit strange. Qi Yi looked at it for a long time and couldn't find a reliable explanation.
Boom!
The knock on the window sounded again, a black shadow flashed in front of Qi Yi, and the sound became much clearer.
Qi Yi held his breath and looked in the direction of the black shadow, but still found nothing.
Not far away, crows were still circling, flying up and down, as if they were performing some kind of silent ritual.
Puzzled, Qi Yi simply took out his cell phone and took a few videos, staring out the window motionlessly.
Until a hand touched his shoulder.
"F*ck!" Qi Yi was so frightened that he instinctively twisted around and jerked backwards.
Snapped!
The person who came here stretched out his palm and received Qi Yi's elbow firmly.
"Fuck! What are you doing!" The other party was also shocked.
Only then did Qi Yi recognize the other party: "Lao Chi? Why are you so invisible?"
Several huge question marks popped up on Lao Chi's forehead, and he gritted his teeth: "Am I elusive? Little brother, you said you were going to the toilet. I waited for you for a long time and you didn't come back. When I came over, I saw you as if you were possessed by an evil spirit. You turned off the lights and stood there.
You don’t know what you’re doing by the window, and I haven’t asked you what you’re doing.”
Qi Yi was interrupted by Lao Chi, and his tense nerves relaxed a little. He turned sideways and asked Lao Chi to stand over: "Come and take a look. I discovered a very strange situation. There are a group of crows flying around outside."
"Crow? What's so weird about crows?" Lao Chi looked puzzled, but walked over: "There's nothing there. Where is the crow you mentioned?"
Qi Yi was stunned when he asked this question. When he turned around, the window was empty. Under the blue-black sky, he could only see the old street lamps downstairs that were in disrepair. They turned on and off because of unstable voltage. There was nothing else there.
crow.
He pushed open the window, put his hands on the window sill, stretched out his head and looked out. The group of crows seemed to have disappeared from the world.
"It's strange. When you patted me on the shoulder, there was a crowd of people outside. Why are they gone?"
"Are you dazzled?" Lao Chi said: "It's hard to see one or two birds in the city these days, let alone a large number of them. Have you hallucinated since you haven't slept for a long time?"
Qi Yi shook his head repeatedly: "Impossible, I took photos and videos."
With that said, he handed the phone to Lao Chi, continued to lie on the window sill, stretched out his head and looked around, but there were no crows anywhere. After searching for a long time, he only found a few black downs on the windowsill.
Only then did he notice that the sound of knocking on the window seemed to have disappeared.
"It's true, these crows are really weird." Lao Chi returned the phone to Qi Yi after watching the video, but he was so nervous that he didn't care at all: "But it's weird, it's none of our business.
It’s okay, you’re a forensic scientist, not a biologist, don’t worry about it.”
Qi Yi just felt weird, and he liked to get to the bottom of problems when he encountered them, but now he didn't have a clue about his own affairs, so he really couldn't care about so much.
But Qi Yi felt unwilling to leave just like that.
"Let's go back and check the surveillance." Lao Chi became a little impatient and urged him repeatedly, so Qi Yi had no choice but to follow.
When he walked to the door, Lao Chi turned on the light. Qi Yi looked back and vaguely saw that the crows seemed to be back again.
Qi Yi thought thoughtfully: "So these crows gathered here because they are looking for light? I still feel like something is wrong."
After walking a few steps, Lao Chi paused and turned sideways: "What are you still looking at? Let's go."
Qi Yi followed him silently and walked side by side back to the monitoring room.
Find a seat and sit down casually. Lao Chi looked back at Qi Yi and said, "You can check all the monitoring equipment in the detachment. In addition, you can tell me anything you need directly. I will try my best to cooperate with you. We don't have time left."
Duo, please solve the body theft case as soon as possible."
"I may only have one night, right?" Qi Yi raised his hand and rubbed his eyes: "Is there any coffee? Strong tea is also fine. I'm so sleepy, my head is buzzing."
"I have hanging ears. Can I make it for you? Add milk and sugar?"
"No, black coffee is best." Qi Yi said. After saying that, he rolled his neck, rubbed his shoulders, stood up and walked to the computer. He called up the surveillance camera in the basement and viewed it in a four-split screen.
Lao Chi responded well, took out his cell phone, deliberately lowered his voice, and asked someone to bring him coffee and cups, while glancing at Qi Yi from time to time.
The reception of information on the other side was a bit slow, and Lao Chi kept talking for a long time.
Qi Yi was upset by his look: "Don't look at me like that. If you block the door, I can't go anywhere. Besides, it's just a coffee, you can go by yourself."
Lao Chi's little thought was exposed by Qi Yi, and he was not embarrassed. He put down his mobile phone, looked at the two corners of the roof, and pursed his lips: "There are surveillance cameras there. If I leave you alone here, both of us will have to do it."
Under investigation."
"Whatever." Of course Qi Yi knew where the surveillance was, he didn't even bother to raise his head.
He has solved so many cases, but this is the first time he has been treated as a suspect. He also understands Lao Chi's concerns.
The monitoring room suddenly became quiet, with only the sound of Qi Yi clicking the mouse and pressing the keyboard from time to time.
Lao Chi was thinking of saying something to lighten the atmosphere.
Bang bang bang!
A rapid knock on the door interrupted his train of thought. Lao Chi stood up and walked towards the door: "I guess the coffee has arrived. Come on, I'll let you try my craft tonight."
The person who knocked on the door was obviously just being polite. The door opened before he walked over, and a young police officer walked in. He breathed heavily and said in a panic: "Lao Chi, Lao Chi, the missing body has been found, but...
"
"Found it? Wow! Where did you find it?" Lao Chi was shocked.
Qi Yi's focus was somewhat different: "But what?"
"Holy shit!" The police officer seemed to have just seen Qi Yi. His eyes widened instantly, and his eyes were full of confusion, as if he had seen a ghost: "Old Qi, why are you here?"
Qi Yi knew it well: "You seem surprised that I'm here, so you have something to do with me?"
