Chapter 231 The mysterious perpetrator
"What are you doing! Sometimes you rewind and sometimes you fast forward." Xiao Ming looked at Chen Xi's non-stop operations on the computer and was a little confused. He watched the video several times but found no clues.
Even the police didn't find anything, how could a student see anything.
"When was the last time the glass was smashed?" Chen Xi raised his head and glanced at Xiao Ming.
"Damn it, I get so angry when I talk about this. Just three days ago, the day after I finished repairing the glass, the glass was smashed again!" Xiao Ming punched the table angrily.
"TMD, if I were here, I would have beaten this guy up long ago." Dongdong waved his fist.
“When was the first time you smashed glass?” Chen Xi asked again.
“This grandson, the first time he smashed a window was a month ago. I called the police at that time, and this guy didn’t show up for a while. He was probably afraid of being caught by the police. Wait until the police don’t show up. Now, he comes again. The time between each time is different, and the time of committing the crime is also different. It’s random. Anyway, it was all done when the company was off duty.”
“Did anyone be on duty?”
“Yes, Lao Li, Lao Song and others were sent, and I also had some. . But every time the glass breaks, when we come out, the person disappears.”
Xiao Ming sighed helplessly.
“This man’s walking posture is a bit strange!” Chen Xi pointed at the video.
"Where? Why can't I see it?" Dongdong raised his head in confusion.
“It feels like it’s shaking.” Chen Xi murmured to himself.
"It was early in the morning and night when he appeared. It must have been cold, because the temperature was low."
"I see a lot of gangsters walking like this, and I feel cool! Usually, people like this like hip-hop and skateboarding."
Dongdong and Xiao Ming each expressed their own opinions.
“According to the previous rules, this guy should be more aggressive in the next few days, so we can stay in the company at night.”
“That’s what I meant.”
"If you catch this guy, you have to skin him."
The three of them looked at each other and nodded at the same time.
“Dong Dong.”
“Come in!”
The door of the office was lightly knocked, and then Xia Lian walked in.
Although her salary has been significantly improved since she came to work at Sihai Company, she still maintains a simple dressing style.
Today, she was wearing an old light green dress. Although it was simple, it revealed a different kind of freshness.
"Chen Xi, you are back! Well, Uncle Song asked you to go outside if I have something to do."
"Okay."
Meet Chen Xi, Xia Lian's eyes flashed with excitement, and then she pointed outside.
At this time, Lao Song was squatting alone in a corner outside the warehouse, holding a cigarette in his hand and smoking leisurely.
Suddenly, he saw Chen Xi's figure. He immediately became energetic and waved to him quickly.
Chen Xi walked over quickly with a friendly smile on his face. He took out a pack of Huaguo cigarettes from his pocket and handed it to Lao Song, "Hey, Lao Song! Smoking!"
Lao Song took the cigarette and nodded gratefully. The two squatted side by side and lit the cigarettes in their hands. For a moment, smoke filled the air and enveloped their figures.
“Come, look at this.”
“You asked me to come here just to look at the butt of your finished cigarette?”
Chen Xi's face was filled with black lines when he saw the cigarette butt in Lao Song's hand.
"This is not what I smoke! Look carefully, this is Zhonghua cigarette. We all smoke local cigarettes."
"Oh?"
Chen Xi Looking at the butt in Lao Song's hand, it seems that it really belongs to China.
“This must have been smoked by the boy who smashed the glass.”
"How are you so sure? It couldn't be someone else?"
"I picked this up next to the warehouse. Judging from the appearance of the cigarette, it must have been left over the past few days because it rained before. , This cigarette butt has obviously not been soaked in water..."
"Old Song, it's a pity that you are not a police dog."
Seeing that Old Song was actually sniffing the cigarette butt, Chen Xi immediately teased him. Get him up.
“Screw you! I found someone to fix the camera, what should I do next?”
"What should I do? What else can I do?"
Chen Xi clenched his fists, and Old Song looked on with a smirk.
At night, the three of them had something to eat and sat in the company chatting.
Recently, several companies have made good profits, hired a new group of employees, and are developing rapidly.
However, they have never touched the office buildings in the southeast district. They are mainly used for home business, and they have little conflict with those ghost companies. Therefore, there have been no disputes and frictions like the previous ones with Barnaby Company. .
Matthew's cram school has not stopped, and now it is training employees in certain companies. Lao Wei and the others are also too busy and have no time.
Gouzi managed the Richmond place in an orderly manner. With the help of the Yue people, although he offended many colleagues, no one dared to make trouble.
The income at the Internet cafe has increased dramatically. I heard that the online games played by international students have the functions of lottery drawing and equipment building, and there are some gambling elements in them.
Those players are getting better and better as they play more and more. In addition, Internet cafes recharge quickly and their money is deposited in almost seconds. They have made a lot of money from the service fees.
Chen Xi was speechless after hearing this. He knew that game very well. The boss of the game company became the richest man in China because of that game.
After playing games with beautiful graphics in his previous life, Chen Xi was too lazy to touch a game like this.
However, this is not the case for other players. Some even buy accounts directly from the trading platform, and each account is worth a lot of money.
“By the way, I met Li Yuqing on the plane when I came back. She was babbling and didn’t know what to say. Finally, I got sleepy and fell asleep. When I woke up, I found that she was angry. Staring at me, is there something wrong with her head? Did I offend her?" Dongdong said innocently about what happened on the plane.
"Maybe my aunt is here!" Chen Xi shrugged. He was like this when he was dating Li Yuqing in his previous life, and he would lose his temper easily later on.
“There are always a few days in a month...” Xiao Ming shook his head and recited the advertising slogan.
"Didi~didi~"
"Hey, baby..."
Shazhi's call happened to come. Chen Xi hadn't seen her for a long time, and the two chatted happily.
Shazhi just came back today and called Chen Xi as soon as she got home. Chen Xi, who had been holding back for two months, listened to the seductive voice on the phone and immediately agreed to see her when he was free.
However, business matters now. First, we need to catch the guy who smashed the glass.
"Humph, you stinky Chen Xi. He hasn't had that for two months and he can still bear it. There must be another woman outside." Saori hung up the phone and rolled on the bed holding the pillow in dissatisfaction.
She is also feeling uncomfortable now. She originally wanted to have a fight tonight, but was rejected by the other party. Thinking about this makes her uncomfortable.
The three of them made a plan, and Xiao Ming was responsible for monitoring and muting their mobile phones.
Chen Xi and Dongdong are responsible for squatting at both ends.
The weather is getting warmer now, so it won’t be too cold if you wear a coat at night.
After twelve o'clock, Chen Xi quietly left the company, crossed the road, and came to the opposite street.
He chose a hidden corner from which he could clearly observe the main entrance of the company.
At this time, the road had become extremely deserted, with almost no pedestrians visible.
Occasionally, a few cars speed by, causing a roar and breaking the tranquility of the night.
Chen Xi squatted there, not even daring to light the cigarette he usually smoked, for fear that the faint light of fire would reveal his position.
He stared intently at the company's main entrance, filled with nervousness and anticipation.
I originally thought this would be a long and endless wait, because the perpetrators often have mysterious whereabouts and the time is unpredictable. However, to his surprise, just over half an hour later, he made a discovery.
A figure slowly appeared in his sight. It was a man wearing a peaked cap, tall and thin, with a slight stoop when walking. He was wearing a coat and the features were strikingly similar to the suspect in the video.
Chen Xi's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up a bit. He tried to stay calm and continued to observe this person's movements.
The man was just like an ordinary pedestrian, walking through the company door with his hands in his pockets and his head lowered.
The pace was leisurely and nothing seemed out of the ordinary.
However, when he walked to the corner of the company, he suddenly disappeared.
Chen Xi hid in the dark, full of doubts in his heart, but he did not act rashly, but continued to observe.
At this time, Xiao Ming was staring nervously at the screen in the monitoring room.
Of course he also noticed the man who just walked by, and soon found that he disappeared from the surveillance screen.
Xiao Ming's heartbeat accelerated. He didn't dare to be careless at all and stared at the screen closely for fear of missing any clues. He also did not send text messages to Chen Xi and Dongdong because he was worried that it would cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
After all, what if the other person is really just an ordinary passerby?
Wouldn’t taking rash actions only alert the enemy?
Dongdong on the other side, at first just felt an ordinary passerby passing near the company. Because he did not hear any unusual noises such as smashing glass, and the man only appeared briefly, he did not take immediate action.
Time passed quietly, and everyone began to wonder if they were too sensitive.
However, at this moment, the man who just passed by actually walked back along the previous route. He obviously went around in a circle, and this move immediately aroused Chen Xi's alert.
Huh? Is this guy observing? Really careful enough.
Seeing the man coming over again, Chen Xi secretly analyzed it in his heart.
This time, the man did not leave directly like before, but glanced around a few times intentionally or unintentionally.
He moved very quickly, just turning his head and looking for a few seconds. If you didn't observe carefully, it would be difficult to notice his move.
What the hell? Away again?
Not long after, the man disappeared again around the corner of the company building.
Chen Xi suppressed his inner impulse and decided to continue to observe in the dark.
Dongdong was shocked when he saw this scene. He became even more convinced that this man was the culprit they had been looking for.
When the man showed up for the third time, things changed significantly.
He did not just pass by the company entrance like before, but walked in directly from the entrance next to the company. There is no iron gate blocking the place. There are rows of warehouses inside, each equipped with rolling shutters.
The man quickly disappeared from Chen Xi's sight. He was obviously very familiar with the terrain here.
After a few seconds, Chen Xi's mobile phone screen lit up and displayed a text message. He opened it and saw that it was from Xiao Ming.
Chen Xi perked up after seeing the text message, and immediately crossed the road quickly and headed towards the company.
At this time, the man was standing at the door of the warehouse, concentrating on operating something on his mobile phone, seemingly unaware of the movement around him.
After receiving the text message, Dongdong had quietly walked over from the darkness.
This is the alley inside the company. On the left is the company's building, and on the right are rows of small warehouses.
The man lowered his head and was concentrating on his phone, completely unaware of Dongdong's approach.
Dongdong moved his steps carefully, trying not to make any noise.
Chen Xi has also reached over from the other side, and the two of them are attacking the man one after another.
"Don't you like to smash glass? I'll let you smash it!" Dongdong had already touched the other person. The man seemed to have noticed something. He quickly looked up and saw a huge fist coming.
With a muffled sound, the man fell to the ground, and the phone flew out, making a crisp sound when it fell to the ground.
Dongdong quickly stepped forward and controlled the man who fell on the ground to prevent him from struggling or escaping.
"Let me see who you are!" Dongdong took off the other person's hat, then took out the flashlight on him and shined it on him.
"Why does this kid look so familiar!" Dongdong looked at the man's face, and it was obvious that he had seen him somewhere.
"Isn't this Xiaotian! You...you, you!" Xiao Ming also ran over at this time. When he saw the man on the ground, he couldn't help but pointed at him with his hand in surprise.
"Employees of Sihai?" Chen Xi looked at the other party and his expression turned ugly.
Defense day and night, it’s hard to guard against house thieves!
Chen Xizhen really wanted to go up and give Tian Gou a kick, but he still held back.
"Why did you smash the company's glass?" Chen Xi asked coldly.
"Huh? Boss...I didn't...I didn't do it." Tian Gou was a little dizzy at this moment, but after seeing the three people beside him clearly, he immediately explained.
"Then what are you doing here in the middle of the night? If you don't tell the truth, I will send you to the police station." Chen Xi squatted down with a straight face and grabbed Tian Gou's collar.
"No, I see something happened in the company, and I want to help arrest someone..."
"Then why are you dressed like the suspect! And you're wearing the same hat."< br>
"This is the company's hat..."
"Damn, it's true."
Hearing Tian Gou's words, Dongdong picked up the hat on the ground and saw that it was the work of Sihai employees. cap.
"What were you doing with your phone just now?"
"I was sending a text message to my classmate! See if she has returned to Tu'ao..."
Tian Gou explained aggrievedly that he had just been investigating here for a long time and found nothing, so he picked up his cell phone to ask if Li Yuqing was back.
"What are you doing wandering around here for a few times?"
"I want to simulate the crime of a criminal..."
"You are stupid!"
Xiao Ming slapped Tian Gou on the head. He was really mad at this stupid employee. He originally thought he had caught someone, but now that the noise has been made, I wonder if he has alerted the snake.
"Okay, let's talk inside the company, don't turn on the lights." Chen Xi brought Tian Gou into the Sihai office building, and he decided to question this guy.
"...That's what happened. I also want to help the company catch that person."
"Xiaotian is also doing it for the company's good, forget it."
Xiao Ming listened. Following Tian Gou's explanation, he patted the other party's shoulder with emotion. The company had such loyal subordinates, which made him feel very relieved to be the boss.
Chen Xi squinted his eyes, thinking about what Tian Gou said just now, and was analyzing whether what this guy said was true or false.
"Bang!"
Suddenly there was a deafening loud noise. The glass of a window on the second floor of the company shattered instantly. The glass fragments fell from the upstairs like raindrops and hit the ground with a crisp sound. sound.
This sudden change made everyone stunned for a moment.
"What are you doing standing still? Chase me!" Chen Xi shouted and hurried to the main entrance of the first floor, only to be locked by someone.
He was so angry that he quickly turned around and walked out of the back door. Dongdong had already chased him out.
The trail at the back led to a crossroads. When they chased out, they found that the outside was deserted and the man had long since disappeared.
"Grandma Li! Huhu~" Dongdong panted and looked around. The road was quiet, only a few of them.
“Go back!” Chen Xi said gloomily.
It's already past one o'clock, and everyone is a little sleepy, especially Chen Xi, who just came back by plane today.
Last night in his sleep, he had an unspeakable dream. He actually fought with Zhao Lingshan for three hundred rounds in his dream.
When he woke up in the morning, looking at the beauty next to him, he felt hot all over.
Finally, he concluded that it was probably two months since he had been without it, and his body's hormones caused confusion in his dreams.
It seems that it is necessary to go to Shaozhi's place to solve some personal problems.
“Let someone come and repair the glass tomorrow!”
“Forget it?”
"That person probably won't come recently. He must have discovered us and should hide for a while."
Chen Xi said while touching his chin, while Dongdong clenched his fists with a look of reluctance. .
“Don’t worry, boss, I will definitely catch that guy!” Tian Gou said, covering his face that was swollen by Dongdong.
"Just you?...Ahem~ Sorry, I just struck a bit too hard." Dongdong glanced sideways at Tian Gou, looked at his injured face, and suddenly apologized in embarrassment. .
"It's okay, boss, you did a good job! This enlightened me. I just thought about it, my simulation method was really bad, and I was caught all at once..."
< br>
"Um...do you have masochism..."
Dongdong almost fell down when he heard Tian Gou's words.
"Is this guy really from our Didi University? How did you recruit such a talent? He is like a sleeping dragon, and there is still a baby left..." Chen Xi pulled Xiao Ming aside and muttered quietly.
"Xiaotian is not very good here, but the work is still very hard." Xiao Ming pointed to his head and said good things for this loyal employee.
"Okay, okay! Simply cover the windows and clean up the broken glass at the door, and we will go back to sleep. Don't let people see the glass being smashed tomorrow. This will damage the company's image and attract others. I thought we were being retaliated for not paying back the money we owed!" Chen Xi waved his hand and directed everyone to start working.
Pedestrians on the road tomorrow will definitely notice the glass shards on the ground outside the door.
"What did this man use to break the glass before?" Chen Xi found a gray stone on the ground on the second floor.
“It’s just a stone!”
“Is it this?”
“The stones all look similar, they seem to be about the same, the size and color are somewhat the same.”< br>
Xiao Ming looked at the things in Chen Xi's hands and recalled what happened before.
"Did you find anything?" Dongdong came over and he had already cleaned the glass at the door.
"This must have been picked up in the same place." Chen Xi looked at the stone in his hand and murmured to himself.
