Chapter 56 No. 32, Fox Alley
“Look, it’s the one poking his head at the entrance of the alley.”
Under the fierce gaze of the police officer, Lynch pulled her into the cafe not far away In the passage between the two buildings, he pointed at a group of children poking their heads in the junk pile outside Fox Alley.
There are more than a dozen children, ranging from seven or eight years old to more than ten years old. Their identities are uncertain, but they are probably the children of nearby residents.
Lynch recognized one of the naughty kids who participated in the robbery that afternoon. He was the one who beat Martha with a branch to trick him into taking the bait, and then remembered Martha with a blossoming butt.
“The photo mentioned in Downey’s note should have been handed over to him by Martha. Maya was already hiding at that time, so it is unlikely that she could contact Downey directly, otherwise there would be no need for Martha to hand it over. And Maya Martha doesn’t know Downey, and it’s difficult for her to agree on a meeting place with Downey. There is a high probability that it will be delivered directly to his home, so Martha probably knows Downey’s address.”
"But you didn't ask her."
"Well, I didn't dare to ask." Lynch frowned, "The drunk Peter a few days ago probably just acted as my liaison and committed suicide in a weird way. Yes, I'm worried that if I ask that child, she will end up like Drunk Peter, so I want to ask you first if this will happen."
"Yes." br>
"Huh? It's true."
"It's not 100%, but it is indeed possible, not because she is involved in the incident itself, but because she is relatively close to us. When we are conscious When we seek help from her, the concept is no longer 'we get information from her', but 'she investigates information with us'. This will automatically form a joint investigation relationship in form, thus making the mystery Following the concept of 'joint investigation', we come into contact with Martha, not to mention that Martha has had the experience of mysterious contact before, so it is easier to be eroded."
"But we only knew the information first. The chronological order of acquisition is reversed.”
"You asked similar questions when we first met. I reminded you that in the mysterious world, the order of time is often messed up. What is really important are the causal relationships that we cannot understand. In fact, your informant also had a similar problem. It is related to the concept. So your worry is right. This is why the mystery should be kept away from ordinary people. It seems that you have begun to learn to think like a mystery hunter and try to avoid involving ordinary people. "
"According to what you said, as long as it's not Martha, it's just information acquisition rather than joint investigation, there won't be this problem, right? "
Lynch is in the channel. Li stares at the children in the distance with a smile
Weird like a pervert.
"I understand."
The two exchanged a strange look, whispered together for a while, and then the police officer quietly left the passage.
"Hey, you guys, what are you trying to steal?"
A few dirty children gathered at the entrance of the alley. The older one was still peeking inside, when a sharp shout suddenly sounded from behind.
The children didn’t even look back, they just screamed and dispersed skillfully, not forgetting to remind the person at the alley: “Ah, someone is coming, Robert, run quickly.”
< br>
"Stop."
The terrifying enemy behind him roared like a giant dragon. Following the sound of footsteps, he actually caught up with him. The frightened children screamed even more fiercely, and in the blink of an eye they disappeared into the low building. in the narrow alley.
The child who was peeking into the alley just now was obviously targeted by his pursuer. He changed directions several times but failed to get away from him. In the end, he got into an uninhabited corridor and escaped from the terrible enemy.
Huh, luckily I didn’t chase him in. It was really scary.
"Right, I think she's scary too."
"Yeah, well...yes, who is it!"
"Hey hey hey, I found you, delicious kid."
The kid's legs were so frightened by the sudden sound behind him that a cold hand pinched the back of his neck. He groaned, rolled his eyes, and fainted on the spot.
The figure of Lynch behind him emerged from hiding, and he picked him up by the collar. Officer Natalie also walked into the aisle with a strange expression, but deliberately kept a certain distance from Lynch. , and glanced at him sideways from time to time.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I found that it is a very normal ability, but how come you have used it so insidiously and obscenely several times? And it always makes me feel full of a sense of crisis, as if it will happen in the future. Something terrible happened to me." The police officer clenched her fists, "How about locking you up before you commit a crime?"
"If you want, lock up this little bastard." Lynch quickly raised the child in front of him and shook it, "This child is very bad." "How is he?"
"There's no movement now. I'm probably scared to death. It's useless anyway. Just chop it into pieces and throw it into the Rand River."
"Don't chop it into pieces, I'm not dead. I'm not dead." The child immediately cried loudly, holding his head.
"You still dare to shout, I will let you pretend to be dead." Lin Qi slapped him on the back of the head, which felt good, followed by another slap, "I let you put a sack on me, I let you throw rocks at me, I let you rob , don’t think I forgot, you were the most active that day.”
“Ah, ah, don’t fight, I was wrong, I don’t dare anymore.”
“Okay, don’t fight. He's still a child, don't really scare him." Officer Natalie sighed, walked over and took the child's hand, and said distressedly, "Just cut off the hand and break the leg, don't let him go. It’s hard for him.”
"Help!" The child was frightened and cried on the spot, trying desperately to pull his hand back, but how could an ordinary child's strength be stronger than a Level 3 soul-shifter? The police officer's hand remained motionless.
The police officer sneered: "Are you afraid? Then be honest and tell us Donny Naton's address. If you tell us, we will let you go."
"That's right. I don’t know who it is. Let me go. I don’t dare to do bad things anymore. Please spare my life.”
Seeing that he couldn't break free, the little boy's eyes rolled around, and then he suddenly screamed for mercy, which was so loud that it could be heard in several streets.
However, there were police not far away outside, but none of them came to take a look.
Power, concealment, ability, phantom voice, the voice cannot be transmitted at all.
"Scream, you can scream as much as you want, so that people outside can hear it. Even if I lose, hmph, no one will come to save you even if your throat is broken." Lynch slapped the little bastard on the head again and said angrily, " Okay, shut up, listen to me first, and then I will chop you up and throw it on the roadside. People here are poor, and they don’t care whose meat it is, they will definitely take it home and fry it.”
"No..." The child was about to shout, but when he thought of the horrific consequences, he immediately covered his mouth and did not dare to say a word.
"We are not just here to beat you up, we have something that needs your help. Listen, Martha is in great danger now. She needs you. Only you can save her."
< br>
The little boy was obviously stunned and stopped covering his mouth. He just stared at Lynch cautiously.
“You haven’t seen her since yesterday afternoon, right? It’s because she was in danger and couldn’t escape.” Lynch pointed at himself and Officer Natalie, “Do you think we Why do we know you are here? Martha asked us to come to you to save her.”
The little boy blinked and said nothing.
"Your name is Robert, right?" The police officer glanced at Lynch secretly, then let go of the child's hand and touched his head seriously, "If so, then we have not found the wrong person, Martha asked us to find him. Robert saved her. "
Tsk, you are obviously happy to cooperate, why are you glaring at me.
Lin Qi curled her lips secretly, and then added: "We are her mother's friends, and I live on the second floor of their house, so she trusted me and asked us to come to you for help. Now only you can You saved that girl, are you going to live up to her expectations?”
"What should I do?" the little boy asked in a low voice.
"You see the police outside? They are all here to silence Downey. Once they find Downey, Martha will have no hope at all. We are also looking for Downey because of his hand There is the only way to save Martha." Lynch patted the little boy on the shoulder seriously, "My child, Martha's safety depends entirely on you."
"But I really don't know Tang. N. Naton, sir.”
"I know, and Martha doesn't know her either, but you must know the reporter sister. On the 13th, you helped the reporter sister give something to someone. That person may be Donnie. Where did you send the things to him?"
Actually, Lynch was not sure whether the child was sent with Martha in the photo, but if he lived nearby, he would probably have followed him. There was no harm in giving it a try.
"Oh, him, I still remember him." The little boy straightened his back immediately, patted his chest and said, "I have a good memory, he is at No. 32 D, Fox Lane."
Found it.
Lin Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and exchanged a look of joy with Officer Natalie. Then the two fists bumped lightly, and smiles appeared on the corners of their mouths.
Finally I can get ahead of those bastards.
