COC.05. Chapter 5 APPLE BAR
Strolling on the playground, people playing basketball are still playing basketball, but there are already two classes on the playground with a small number of people taking physical education classes.
Luo Luo looked at the notes, focusing on the names of Luo Xiaoqi and Li Wanxiao. "I always feel that there is something wrong with this Li Wanxiao. The premise is that what Luo Xiaoqi said is true."
"Oh? Then you can find out the relative contradictions and make inferences from three directions: only one person is telling the truth, both people are telling the truth, or neither person is telling the truth, and argue with each other to find out If there are any conflicts, resolve the doubts.”
"Is there a relative contradiction?" Luo Luo frowned, "Li Wanxiao thinks that although Lin Xiaoguo works hard, his academic performance is not ideal. And Luo Xiaoqi thinks that Lin Xiaoguo studies very well but his academic performance is not high. On the contrary, although Li Wanxiao has high grades, her study situation does not match her grades."
"Assuming that Li Wanxiao is telling the truth, then why does Luo Xiaoqi think that Lin Xiaoguo studies well? If Luo Xiaoqi is lying, what is the purpose of lying? What is the meaning? About Lin Xiaoqi Whether Xiaoguo's studies are good or bad is not important to the current situation."
"So assuming that Li Wanxiao is telling lies and Luo Xiaoqi is telling the truth, does that mean that there is a problem with Li Wanxiao's personal performance? Similarly, Lin Xiaoguo's academic performance is very good, but It is impossible to explain the reason for Lin Xiaoguo’s poor test scores.”
"If two people are telling the truth, then their testimonies are contradictory to each other. If they are both lies, what is the meaning of their lies?"
"Get in the car." No. 7 opened the car door, "At least I can be sure that no matter whether the two people are lying about Lin Xiaoguo's good or bad grades, none of this has much to do with finding Lin Xiaoguo. Now. My only goal is to find Lin Xiaoguo. Let’s think about the quality of our studies after the commission is over, newcomer!”
"Yes, Senior No. 7!"
The two people drove to the parking lot in front of the underground train central station. At this time, the station was a little deserted compared to usual, and there was no such huge crowds. After all, the central station is located in a central school district, except for some private schools and subdivisions. In addition to primary and secondary schools, nearly 80% of the schools in Banyue City are located in this area, including these universities. Therefore, during normal school hours, the entire school district is relatively deserted.
"APPLE BAR..." No. 7 looked around, looking for the bar called Apple Bar.
"Senior No. 7, let me do it." Luo Luo smiled slightly, and there were two more dice in his hand. Luo Luo flicked them casually, and the two dice fell to the ground with a clatter. In Luo Luo's mind Suddenly this sentence came to mind——
Dice number: 55, detection, success.
The next moment, Luoluo seemed to feel something and turned around to look at the alley directly ahead. On the ground at the entrance of the alley was a small sign with the lights off and an arrow hanging on it, which read: APPLE BAR.
No. 7 glanced at the two dice that disappeared on the ground, and his face became a little solemn, "Newcomers, it's better not to use the dice until important moments."
"Why, Senior No. 7? Isn't this more efficient?"
"In this way, you will become more and more dependent on dice. Newcomer." No. 7 walked in the direction pointed by the sign, stepped into the alley, and was greeted by a sour smell. He looked at the garbage on the ground, and
The indescribable filthy thing beside the wall and in the corner No. 7 frowned impatiently and quickened his pace.
After walking about fifty meters, I saw a burgundy two-story building. There was a white sign hanging between the first and second floors. On the sign was the English word "APPLE BAR" spliced with LED lights.
The glass door is open, and there is a line of small words posted on the door: business hours 13:00-23:00. There are two tables and a few chairs outside the door. On the outside is a low wall surrounded by wooden fences.
Various potted plants are planted there. If you ignore the disgusting smell in the alley, maybe this is a nice place with a nice environment.
"This is it, senior."
"Go in."
The first thing you see after entering the bar is a three-meter-high red apple, placed about three meters away from the door. To the left of the big apple is a hall-like place with tables covered with tablecloths.
It is placed in the hall there. In the center of the hall is a stage, which seems to be a place for some bar singers to sing.
On the right side of the Big Apple is a corridor. Looking along the corridor, you can see cubicles that have not yet turned on the lights. They should be areas similar to private rooms. To the right is a bar. Unfortunately, the bar
There was no one behind. In other words, there was no one on the entire first floor.
Behind the Big Apple is the stairs leading to the second floor, and there is a bathroom under the stairs. The entire first floor is decorated with dark red and red apples as the theme. It seems that the owner of this bar particularly likes it.
apple.
"Welcome." The red-haired man wearing red shorts and shorts walked down. He scratched his hair and looked at the two people below with a surprised look on his face. "The two customers are not open yet."
No. 7 and Luoluo showed their IDs and said, "Hello, we are investigators from Liwu Tuiyi Studio, and we are here to investigate some matters."
"Are you the investigator again?" The red-haired man sighed helplessly, "Please come upstairs."
The two investigators came to the second floor. Compared with the business-style decoration on the first floor, the second floor is a simple living room. There is a sofa and TV in the middle of the large living room, and the kitchen and several bedrooms on the other side.
The three of them were sitting on the sofa. The red-haired uncle touched his head and asked, "Are you also here to ask about train DD9527? On that damn train, there are always people missing, and those who are not missing are actually crazy."
No. 7 and Luoluo looked at each other. No. 7 shook his head, "Sorry, we are not here because of train No. 9527."
"No?" the red-haired uncle asked in surprise, "Then what are you here to investigate?"
"Excuse me, is there an employee named Lin Xiaoguo in your store?"
"Xiao Guo? What's wrong with her?" The red-haired man asked with his eyes widened, "What happened!"
"Please calm down."
The red-haired man suddenly stood up and roared, "Tell me what's going on!"
Luoluo pondered for a while, "That's right, Lin Xiaoguo disappeared last night."
The red-haired man was pale and his lips were trembling. He fell down on the sofa with a plop and kept saying, "The cannibal train! It's the cannibal train! It must be the cannibal train!"
"Cannibal Train?"
"DD9527! Don't you know? That DD9527 that has been in the news recently!!!!"
"Can you tell us in detail?" No. 7 patted the red-haired uncle to comfort him. Luoluo also picked up the water bottle on the coffee table and poured a glass of water for the red-haired uncle.
"Thank you.." The red-haired uncle took the water glass. His trembling hands still caused the water in the glass to spill on his pants, but the red-haired uncle didn't care and drank the remaining half glass of water.
But, "It started half a month ago. A regular who used to come to the bar to drink every night suddenly didn't come for several days. Until one day at noon, he suddenly came here to drink. At that time, he looked very messed up.
As if he was going crazy, he said he hadn't slept for several days."
"Then I asked him what happened. He said that on the way home on the last bus that night, he suddenly appeared somewhere else. He kept saying that there was no light, no lights, only a clicking sound.
He only remembered that he followed a few people and kept running, and kept running, and the whole carriage was torn to pieces, and kept running, saying it's coming, it's coming, it's coming."
"it?"
"I don't know what he was talking about. He was very scared and panicked at the time, and he kept drinking. He kept drinking like this for more than an hour. Finally, he shouted "Cannibal Train" and left. From that day on
I never saw him again. It wasn't until I saw the news that a man committed suicide by jumping off a building that I recognized that the man who committed suicide was him."
No. 7 looked a little heavy, "So, when did Lin Xiaoguo start working here?"
"About half a year ago." The red-haired uncle sighed, "It happened to be raining outside that day. I saw her standing outside in the rain alone, so I asked her to go inside to take shelter. Later, when I chatted with her, I learned about the child's home.
Regarding the situation, she said that she has been looking for a job these days, and if she can't find a job... ugh..."
"So you hired her?"
"Yeah, although this is the central school district, there are a lot of messy bars and nightclubs here." The red-haired man poured himself a drink, "I thought at that time, instead of letting her find those messy jobs outside,
, you might as well stay and work here."
"So, when did Lin Xiaoguo leave last night?" asked No. 7.
"It's been a mess at night recently, and with the cannibal train incident making a big fuss, not many people will stay here to drink at night... Starting last month, I asked her to get off work at 10:30 and go home early."
No. 7 pondered for a while, "It's half past ten? Not eleven o'clock?"
"Yes, it's half past ten. I take her to the station basically every night." The red-haired man showed a weak smile, "After all, there are a lot of drunk people around here, so it's not safe for her to go to the station alone."
"So was it the same yesterday?"
"Well, yesterday I waited for her to enter the station before coming back."
Number Seven nodded and then saw Luo Luo secretly throwing the two dice at his feet.
42, investigation, successful.
Luoluo glanced at the TV cabinet, and No. 7 looked along. There were many photos there, and the photos basically showed Lin Xiaoguo and the red-haired uncle together. It seemed that the two people had a very close relationship. of intimacy.
