2 Guan Baoling’s Bizarre Encounter I walked to the sink, turned on the faucet, and manically put my head under the gush of cold water. I needed cold water to cool down my angry mind, because my mind couldn’t stand it at all when faced with two magical disappearances. I can't think of any way. I even hope that in this state, I will disappear with the current and find the two missing girls.
"Hey, Mr. Feng, do you want to consider my conditions?" Goldfinger tapped on the door frame.
I shook my head to shake the water droplets from my hair, and raised my voice: "Impossible! For such a big matter, if you are really sincere, please ask Gang Leader Jin to come out and talk to me, otherwise, it is absolutely impossible!"
Goldfinger sneered and tapped his feet disdainfully, as if he felt a little cold.
I really have no choice but to invite construction workers to come tomorrow and turn the bathroom upside down to see where they went. If Xiao Kereng disappears, all my work in Hokkaido will be hindered. This is the biggest loss. .I slapped the sink hard, and water splashed, which made Goldfinger feel confused.
"Mr. Feng, I am no stranger to everything in the villa than you are. I can also find the things you can find. Then you won't even get a dollar..."
To be honest, although Gold Finger is powerful in martial arts, she is not a good preacher. At least the language and reasons she used could not impress me at all. I raised my hand to interrupt her impatiently: "Yes, then you can find a good preacher." But I have the right to call the police, after all, this is my private territory."
When it comes to calling the police, I have to report the disappearance of the two girls to the police first. The time at the moment is 7:30 in the evening, and it was probably around this time yesterday that Guan Baoling was found missing.
My anxious face was reflected in the mirror, and water drops were falling from my hair, making me extremely embarrassed. Two people have disappeared in this bathroom. I wonder if I will be the next one?
Suddenly, a piercing whistle sounded outside the window, with a volume of at least over one hundred decibels. It sounded one after another, as if there were many people appearing on the barren mountain outside the back window at the same time, delivering some kind of news quickly.
Goldfinger quickly jumped to the window and shouted hurriedly: "Mr. Feng, there is a special operation in our gang. If you are smart, don't get involved. No matter what your relationship is with the plague - as long as you leave this villa, you will be killed!" "Before I could answer, she had already slipped out of the window, like an extremely flexible eel. It seems that thieves always like to go through the window. Even if the door is open and bright, they will not choose to go in and out openly. .
I have no interest in the affairs of the "Night Angel" gang. If the traitor they are chasing is the plague, it has nothing to do with me, so I don't care about it.
The back window was wide open, and the north wind blew in, and my hair soaked in water became colder and colder. This actually helped me think deeply: "The time when the two disappeared was around 7:20 in the evening. The location was in front of the sink. The only difference was that before Guan Baoling disappeared, there were obvious signs that he was attracted to the mirror. So what about Xiao Kereng? Knowing that he would disappear, of course he would work hard to be vigilant.
"Well, all the problems lie in the mirror. Think about it carefully. Is it necessary to have such a luxurious and complicated mirror in front of the sink? Or is there really something weird in the mirror?" I thought of three places where I heard the sound of water bubbles, the fireplace Statues and mirrors are all bronze vessels with a long history. Do they have anything in common?
The whistles outside the window were getting louder and louder. I stood at the window and looked out. There were at least two hundred silver stars swaying and twinkling all over the mountains and fields, almost covering the limit of what I could see, extending all the way to Fengkuriji Temple on the top of the mountain.
By the wall. If these were the men of the "Night Angel", the momentum would be truly astonishing. So, what heinous crime did Plague commit that warranted sending so many people from the gang to hunt him down?
The northern edge of Hokkaido, across the sea from several small islands with uncertain ownership, is a broken gateway to the north of Japan. Criminals from Russia, North Korea, and South Korea often choose to land in Japan secretly from this direction. Therefore,
, armed fights, gun battles, murders and other criminal activities continue all year round, giving Hokkaido police a splitting headache. Most of the time they adopt a vague attitude of "turning a blind eye".
There were a lot of ambiguities in what Plague said last night, such as the magical "Book of Purgatory." Although he didn't explicitly say that he owned that book, he also made it clear that he knew the whereabouts of that book.
news.
The whistle became louder and louder, and from the dark grove in the east, stars flew rapidly, forming a huge silver vortex, as if many people were attacking someone together.
I closed the window hard and fastened the built-in lock. I didn't want to get into trouble. I was already troubled enough with my own affairs.
Back in the living room, in desperation, I rang Su Lun's international long-distance phone number, but what I heard was the voice of the answering machine: "Hello, I'm Su Lun. If you have anything, please leave a message and I will reply in time.
"My mood became increasingly depressed and reached the extreme. I lay on the sofa, looking up at the crystal chandelier and was speechless.
When I mention the "Book of Purgatory", I think of the full collection of books in the study room on the second floor. Since my eldest brother Yang Tian has collected so many books here, will his search footprints be related to the content of the books? I know, as a
An excellent tomb robber must have a wide-ranging reading habit. The more extensive the knowledge stored in his mind, the more he can draw parallels and inspire inspiration in actual actions.
Far away across the sea, Su Lun couldn't give me much help, especially when faced with such a weird and inexplicable thing. So, I stood up suddenly and prepared to go upstairs to take a look. While waiting for Xiao Kereng to reappear, I turned over the pages.
Look for clues in several books.
Xiao Kereng is different from Guan Baoling. She is a master of martial arts. If she encounters any danger, she can at least protect herself, which makes me less worried.
Suddenly the sound of rushing water came to my ears. This time it was no longer the strange sound of bubbling water, but the sound of splashing water when the faucet was turned to the limit. After calming down for a while, I burst into laughter.
Realization: "The sound came from the bathroom, not from the fireplace again! I'm too nervous, there must be something wrong with the faucet-"
The fire in the fireplace was completely extinguished, with no remaining warmth.
I walked towards the bathroom, and the sound of water kept ringing fiercely. Just as I sped up and turned the corner, a long and faint sigh suddenly sounded in my ears: "Alas..." The voice was mellow and lingering.
After walking two steps forward, I arrived at the door of the bathroom. I suddenly stopped as if struck by lightning. I opened my mouth wide in horror and could not utter a single word.
The sigh came from Guan Baoling, because during our conversation last night, my mind had clearly recorded her voice. The voices of girls who are famous in the entertainment industry have been carefully modified, and they are all sweet and cooing, all the time.
No longer tickling the man's sensitive nerves. Her voice was waxy and soft, as thick as hot chocolate that couldn't be melted - what I saw at the moment was also Guan Baoling.
She stood in front of the sink, slightly bent over, her hands stretched forward, but her face was facing the mirror, her eyes staring straight ahead blankly, looking like she was lost.
The water boiled so loudly that the water splashed out and hit her body. Looking in the mirror, her chest and clothes were already wet.
I pinched my palms with my nails, and the excruciating pain made me realize that this was not a dream, let alone a hallucination - "She's back... Guan Baoling appeared again..." For a full minute, we kept looking at each other in the mirror.
The posture of looking at each other was motionless. My face was full of horror and fear. My mood at this time was not much better than when I saw a zombie female ghost.
Her eyes finally moved to my face in the mirror, and she smiled palely: "What? Did I scare you?"
It was absolutely true, it was Guan Baoling who was back - I walked forward slowly, holding my breath, as cautiously as an engineer on the battlefield trying to clear a mine that was about to explode. I reached the sink and reached out to turn off the faucet.
The sound of rushing water seemed to still echo in the bathroom, which made my expression become extremely weird.
I first looked at the window. The window was closed and the secret lock was locked. No one had gone in or out.
"I'm just a little tired, so I washed my hands for a while... We can go out and talk about the villa. Of course, the price is not an issue. My friends and I both need your help, Mr. Feng..."
She reached out and rubbed her face, then took out a Chanel lipstick from her pocket, approached the mirror, and applied it on her lips carefully.
I took a long breath and smelled the lovely fragrance on her hair just like last night.
She turned back, put away her lipstick, and walked out the door, raising her head as she walked, combing her long hair back casually with her fingers without explaining too much.
I looked at her back and smiled bitterly, because it is impossible for anyone to come back after missing for 24 hours without even a few words of explanation. At least she had to tell me where she went and what she did - back to
After entering the living room, she looked at her watch and exclaimed with a little surprise: "Huh? Time flies so fast? It's already past eight o'clock?"
Judging from her expression, there was no sense of tension after the mysterious incident, not at all. So, where did she go in the twenty-four hours after she disappeared?
"Mr. Feng, can you give me a glass of water?" She smiled up at me with a calm expression.
I began to feel the anger of being fooled, and sneered: "Miss Guan, I can give you water, but at least you have to tell me what happened yesterday?"
"Yesterday?" She frowned, subconsciously looked in the direction of the door, and smiled wryly in confusion: "Yesterday, I rushed to Hokkaido from the set and stayed at Fengkakuji Temple. What? Does this have anything to do with you?
?”
The sneer on my face deepened. She is a very conscientious actress. She is both an idol and a capable person. Of course it is easy to pretend as if nothing happened. It is just a pity that I spent the whole day searching and worrying.
"Okay, okay...okay!" I got up and went to pour her water. I had already made up my mind to serve tea to see the guests off in a while, but I wouldn't accept them.
She lowered her head and looked at her watch, wondering to herself: "Huh? What's wrong with my watch? Why did it run an extra day? December 10th - isn't today the 9th?"
I stood by the stairs and watched the electric kettle boil water. When I heard what she said and watched her take off her watch to adjust the time, I suddenly felt like I was struck by lightning for the second time: "Oh my God! Yesterday was only the 9th!"
What does her statement prove? Doesn’t she know that she has disappeared for twenty-four hours? "
Guan Baoling adjusted the watch, put it on her wrist again, and waved it in front of her eyes with satisfaction. Vacheron Constantin's classic barrel-shaped diamond watch shone in the light.
I reminded her very carefully: "Ms. Guan, today...should be the 10th. Yesterday was the 9th."
Unexpectedly, Guan Baoling looked at me blankly and laughed: "How could it be? Tomorrow, that is, December 10th, I will have a press conference on the top floor of the Imperial Building in Sapporo, and I will also have to accept "
Am I remembering the special interview with a reporter from the cultural section of the Asahi Shimbun?"
The water boiled and made a gurgling sound, which was exactly the same as the bubbling sound I heard before.
I made two cups of Nestle instant coffee, put them on the coffee table, and stared at her face seriously, making sure that she was not lying or joking just now.
"Ms. Guan, I have to remind you that something strange seems to have happened. Don't you feel it?" I stared at her hand holding the coffee and warned myself over and over again in my mind: "This is not an illusion!
This is not an illusion..."
"What's weird? Can you please just say it?" She seemed to be unimpressed by my cautious tone, with a faint sneer on her face.
"You...you disappeared...in the...bathroom of this villa..." I carefully chose the words to minimize the sudden stimulation, lest she could not bear the sudden blow. Even for me.
It is difficult for a man who has traveled around the world and made his fortunes to understand what happened, let alone such a weak girl like her.
Guan Baoling was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly: "What? What disappeared?" She turned her head towards the bathroom, was stunned for a while, raised her eyebrows, and her face darkened: "Mr. Feng, I don't think you are like the all-pervasive paparazzi.
Likewise, is there some kind of hidden pinhole camera installed in the bathroom? If that's the case, I will reserve the right to take legal action..."
She misunderstood what I meant, which made me dumbfounded.
I shook my head: "Ms. Guan misunderstood. What I meant was that you disappeared in the bathroom for twenty-four hours. Today's date is December 10th, not the 9th as you thought. Do you understand? Because of a certain
For some strange reason, you suddenly disappeared and then suddenly came back..."
Guan Baoling burst out laughing, and the coffee in the cup splashed out and landed on the coffee table.
I know these words sound funny and absurd, but they actually happened in the bathroom of Xunfu Garden. If she hadn't come back by mistake, she might not be wandering in some unknown space at this moment.
!
Holding the coffee, I waited until she had laughed enough and wiped the tears from her eyes before I continued calmly: "I have enough evidence to prove that between 7:20 pm on the 9th and 7:20 pm on the 10th,
Before eight o'clock, you disappeared for a full twenty-four hours. If you don't believe it, I can call the witnesses out——"
At this point, I raised my hand and covered my mouth, because the "witnesses" could only be Bubonic Plague and Xiao Kereng, and the two of them, one of whom was missing, could be sniped by the "Night Angel" at any time;
Another one disappeared mysteriously for the same reason as Guan Baoling.
I have witnesses, but now I can't call them forward.
There was a small silence in the living room. Guan Baoling kept sneering secretly, thinking that I was a whimsical liar.
When things got here, I suddenly encountered a bottleneck. The villa would not be sold. When the negotiations were fruitless, Guan Baoling would only choose to leave. I found her, but then lost Xiao Kereng. I have to say that it was God.
Another joke.
I pointed to her watch, cleared my throat, and smiled with difficulty: "Ms. Guan, have you ever thought about why such an expensive watch suddenly had a date error? Has the same thing happened before?"
Guan Baoling sneered and said: "This... this alone can prove that I have disappeared? I just went to the bathroom for a short while. If there is anything strange, it can only be..."
I hurriedly interrupted her: "What did you hear in front of the window? Is it the sound of bubbling water? Then what? Then what? When you returned to the sink, what did you see..." The trajectory of her actions
, which I calculated from the footprints left on the ground.
Guan Baoling looked confused: "Are you following and spying on me? Is that right?"
I waved vigorously, ignoring her annoyance, and asked loudly: "Tell me, what can I see in the mirror? What is it? Tell me quickly -"
The key to the problem is that she first heard the sound of water bubbles, and then entered a state of disappearance. I hope to know what the next link is after the "sound of water bubbles"
