Chapter 396 The Border Town
Sun Hang opened a picture on his mobile phone. This is a real photo before Qiao Liu's "Qingzhu Bar" was burned.
This is a postmodern decoration style clear bar. The gray main color is like the owner of the bar. It is filled with a cold and cold style that keeps people from thousands of miles away, even hanging from the ceiling. The chandelier that comes down also emits cool-toned lights.
The warm solid wood furniture is hardly seen in the bar. The cold metal texture and angular decorations set off each other. They are so simple that only the wine list with black and white letters are written with the name and price of the wine. The names are also so concise that they can be seen at a glance, unlike most bars that give a bunch of fancy names to those very common drinks.
If you want to talk about the most eye-catching part of the entire bar, you have to face the two floor-to-ceiling windows on the street - about forty centimeters of space left in the middle of these two floor-to-ceiling windows, and the interior is embedded Two huge ecological fish tanks, standing in front of the window, feel like they are in the aquarium.
Against the backdrop of the light, the bubble columns used to supply oxygen in the ecological fish tank look extremely dreamy. The colorful fish shuttle between the aquatic plants and fake stones, and you can even see an octopus hiding in a large size as a decoration. Under the shell, several soft wrist feet are exposed outside, drifting with the flow.
Wait, octopus?
Sun Hang enlarged the picture and took another look. He could be sure that the one hiding under the shell was an octopus, a living octopus, not an octopus doll made of soft glue.
Whether it is octopus, squid or squid, all cephalopods are marine creatures without exception.
Capitalis organisms cannot survive in freshwater environments, that is, the ecological fish tank of Qingzhu Bar... simulates a marine ecological and very common freshwater ecology?
These colorful and beautiful little fish are actually all sea fish? "It's interesting." Sun Hang murmured to himself.
Marine ecological fish tanks are more complex than freshwater ecological fish tanks. In addition to the water in the fish tanks must be seawater with appropriate salt concentration, the temperature and water pressure also have high requirements...unless it is a fanatical aquarium hobby Otherwise, it would be just used as interior decoration for ordinary people, and ordinary people would definitely not choose expensive and more difficult to maintain marine ecological fish tanks. "Does Qiao Liu mention her hobbies in her file?" Sun Hang asked.
"Host?" Yang Qi was slightly stunned. "She goes to the gym three times a week and signs up for yoga and Pilates training classes. In addition, she also likes to ride and has a value for it. More than 70,000 big-name road buses. She also taught herself French and would buy some English and French versions of books to read..."
"Does she like the ocean?"
"Ocean?" Faced with Sun Hang's slightly nonsensical question, Yang Qi was obviously stunned for a moment, and then subconsciously shook her head, "It was not mentioned in the archive."
"The ecological fish tanks in Qingzhu Bar are all full of sea fish." Sun Hang said again, "There should be few aquarium shops in Tianfucheng that are capable of installing marine ecological fish tanks... By the way, I asked you to check it just now. Have you found the thing? "
"Checked it." Yang Qi said, "The decoration project of Qingzhu Bar was fully contracted by 'Tianfu Youjia Decoration and Decoration Company'. A colleague from the Public Security Bureau has just contacted him. The person in charge of this company also admitted that he did have business with Qiao Liu. Come. But when the company's head found the designer who designed the Qingzhu bar, the designer said that the ecological fish tank on the exterior wall was not designed by him. "
Yang Qi paused for a moment and continued "The designer said that the entire bar adopts a postmodern decoration style. The embedded ecological fish tank in the glass wall near the outside of the street is indeed very attractive to customers, but this does not match the overall design language, and it does not The method highlights the properties of the bar. According to his original design plan, the floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides will be made into an embedded transparent wine cabinet and will be decorated with cool-toned metal artworks. However, the customer strongly requests that the floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides be made of Transformed into an ecological fish tank..."
"The customer strongly requested it?" Sun Hang repeated the six words, "and then they changed it to her?"
"The customer's requirements are the highest priority, which is the original designer's "Yang Qi replied.
"Then was this marine ecological fish tank installed by this decoration company? Ordinary decoration companies should not be able to do such work. They probably have to outsource it to other aquarium shops or something." "Well, it's not what they installed, but the aquarium shop responsible for installing the ecological fish tank was not contacted by them, but the customer found it himself."
"What aquarium shop is it ? "Sun Hang continued to ask, "Even if it is not the person found by the decoration company, the two parties will always leave some information when they cooperate, right?"
Ye Xuan, standing in front of the one-way glass, looked at Sun Hang with a puzzled look on her face. She was a little confused. Why was Sun Hang so persistent about the ecological fish tank... The bartender might have just said it casually. After all, when people are in a daze, they always subconsciously stare at something.
If Qiao Liu likes to stare at the table and stare blankly, would Sun Hang still have to investigate the company that manufactures these tables and chairs?
In Ye Xuan's opinion, investigating Qiao Liu's real cause of death is far more important than investigating these two ecological fish tanks.
"They are still looking for those contract files. They have been around for a while, and they are probably not that easy to find... they have been found!" Yang Qi's tone suddenly became excited, "The name of that aquarium shop is 'Sen Yangshui people'! "
"What block is this store?" Sun Hang asked immediately.
"No, it's not in Tianfu City!" Yang Qi's tone was a little excited, "I checked the business license of this aquarium store, and its registered address is in Jinlu County!!"
"Jinlu County! "Ye Xuan, who was still questioning Sun Hang last second, couldn't help but widen her eyes and looked at Sun Hang in surprise.
It's Jinlu County again!
This is definitely not a coincidence!
This...is this a man's intuition? Ye Xuan looked at Sun Hang in shock.
Why can he grasp the key points of the problem from a casual sentence? Did this guy turn on a plug-in from the perspective of God? "Are the bodies of these sea fish found at the fire scene in Qingzhu Bar? Even if it is roasted into coke, it's OK." Sun Hang asked again.
"I'll go and ask the sheriff in charge of on-site investigations in the Public Security Bureau."
Two minutes later, Yang Qi's voice sounded again in the communication channel: "They said no, no, no Any corpses of aquatic creatures, including fish, were found at the scene. "
"Even if the two fish tanks exploded, those fish would not fly out a few streets..." Sun Hang said, "then you can't There is only one possibility... The man who killed Qiao Liu and set fire to Qingzhu Bar took away the sea fish raised in the ecological fish tank of Qingzhu Bar. "
"Do you think those fish... have something to do with the A11 organization?"
"Since you can't find any abnormal communication and social records, then you might as well guess whether these sea fish will be Qiao Liu. Tools used to communicate with the A11 organization?” Sun Hang said.
"Can this Qiao Liu talk to Yu?! This is so cool!" Fukada Miki's voice penetrated from the side.
"It's not necessarily talking to fish, there are too many ways to convey information... The color, number, and movement of fish can be used as codes for conveying intelligence, as long as someone can remotely manipulate it He can use these fish to convey information and orders from the organization to Qiao Liu. "Yang Qi's head turned completely, "The address of this 'Senyang Aquarium' is in Jinlu County No. 591, Shengli Avenue, I will inform Wang Xiyi now and ask her to pay attention to this address! ”
…
...
Small town on the border of Shuzhou, Jinlu County. Wang Xiyi's wings were fully expanded, with a wingspan of nearly seven meters. The wing membrane covered with metallic scales cut through the rushing wind and glided at high speed in the sky.
The black windproof jacket and black wings almost blend into the night, and only a flash of flames that flash from time to time at the end of the tail occasionally reveal Wang Xiyi's whereabouts.
Looking from the ground, it is like a phore fire moving rapidly in the sky.
Wang Xiyi opened her eyes. She had completely adapted to this environment. Even without wearing goggles, the high-speed airflow would not have any impact on her field of vision. A transparent protective film made by hardening the secretions on the inner side of the eyelids covered her. Above her eyes... let alone the airflow generated during high-speed flight, even if she fired a pistol into her eyes, the bullet could not penetrate the film less than two millimeters thick.
Sun Hang said this was called "bullet-proof eye poop", but Wang Xiyi didn't refute it, just eye poop, just eye poop, anyway, it's enough to be wind-proof and bullet-proof.
She could vaguely see the outline of the city below-Although Jinlu County is a small border town, one thing is to say, the economic development is not bad.
Before the whole city evacuated, the permanent population of Jinlu County was not tens of thousands as Wang Xiyi imagined, but a total of 190,000.
There are a large number of high-rise buildings with a height of more than fifty floors in the urban area. The straight office buildings form a dense reinforced concrete forest. The commercial center, which is not small, can be vaguely seen before the evacuation. A prosperous scene.
There is only one reason why Jinlu County is located on the border and can develop to such a scale - there is a rare earth mine with not small reserves here.
According to the planning of the Disaster Countermeasures Committee, after the eternal night fades, Jinlu County will definitely find a way to recover it... But now, shrinking the defense line is their only choice. Resources like rare earth mines that will not be lost if they are left untouched will not have much impact on temporary abandonment.
After all, the weird thing can't take advantage of the evacuation of the entire city of Jinlu County and secretly hollow out this rare earth mine.
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read! "Damn, is Jinlu County that big?" Wang Xiyi murmured in her heart.
As the ace hunter of Tianfu City, she has also been to many places in Shuzhou to carry out missions in the past two years, but this is her first time here in Jinlu County.
Wang Xiyi slightly raised the height and avoided a towering office building. Then she turned around in the air and braked suddenly, diving against the glass curtain wall of another office building.
The wrist watch on her wrist has been adjusted to the exact time. She decided to start searching from the most developed commercial area now, and then slowly cross the entire city from east to west.
At this moment, a beep sounded in her headphones.
It is a communication request from Tianfucheng.
"I have arrived in Jinlu County, what's wrong?" Wang Xiyi connected the communication and spoke.
"Prefer priority to investigating the 'Senyang Aquarium' located at 591 Shengli Avenue, and we found that this store may have some connections with Qiao Liu and the A11 organization." Yang Qi said.
"'Senyang Aquarium'? Do you mean... the two big fish tanks in Qiao Liu's shop?" Wang Xiyi has a very good memory. "Is this shop equipped?"
"Yes. We suspect that Qiao Liu uses those fish to contact the A11 organization."
"Okay, I'll go there now!" Wang Xiyi responded.
She wished she would complete the task sooner, the better... Sun Hang hadn't come to find her for a while. As a human-shaped black dragon, Wang Xiyi's actual needs were much greater than that of normal humans.
She kept feeling a little suffocating in her heart, wanting to vent her vent on Sun Hang. "It's better to finish the work before ten o'clock." Wang Xiyi said in her heart, flapping her wings and flew towards the north of the city.
Shengli Avenue is one of the four north-south main roads in Jinlu County. It passes through this bustling commercial area and flies along the road below. You can quickly reach the address Yang Qi sent.
As Wang Xiyi gets closer to the target location, the height of the surrounding buildings is rapidly decreasing - unlike the prosperous south of the city, the development level of the north of the city is very obvious different from the south of the city, and most of the blocks here are located in the neighborhoods. They are all old and dilapidated, and it is rare to see buildings with a floor height of more than six floors.
But even so, Wang Xiyi did not dare to lower the flight altitude too low - the number of telephone poles here is too dense, and if you are not careful, you may directly hit the wire passing through the street.
But these black wires are still difficult to distinguish with the naked eye under the shadow of the night...
"This place... always feels uncomfortable..."
Just as Wang Xiyi was thinking this, the weird watch on her wrist suddenly exuded an extremely insignificant enthusiasm.
"Huh?"
Wang Xiyi remembers it very clearly. Yang Qi said that the farthest sensing distance of this watch is one kilometer... That is to say, the target he is looking for is within a range of one kilometer?
Wang Xiyi landed on the ground and closed her wings. "It seems that something really hides here." She murmured to herself, and instead walked forward.
The temperature emitted by the watch gradually increases. This sensing function is two-way, and the other party can also sense that there is a "homologous object" approaching him... It is almost impossible not to alert the enemy.
But Wang Xiyi doesn't care.
The other party can't escape.
