After a long time..,
In the corridor on the fourth floor of the hotel..,
Sheriff Joe held a revolver tightly in his hand. He ignored the breathing sounds coming from the surrounding rooms and tiptoed to the door of the innermost room. Then, he pressed his ear to the door and listened to the movements inside. Then, he took out the key he got from the front desk of the hotel.
He looked at the shabby and scratched door in front of him. His eyes were so excited that it was as if there was some kind of treasure behind the door. Even the hand that was slowly turning the door lock with the key couldn't help but tremble a little. It was hard to be excited about this.
Kacha....
The locked door opened with a click.
Old Joe immediately put the key back into the pocket of his jacket. He held the gun with both hands and carefully sneaked into the room.
At this moment, even though there was a calm breathing sound in the room, it sounded like the person living inside was sleeping soundly, but he was still very cautious. He did not rush to the bedside to control the person. Instead, he continued to approach the target step by step.
However..,
A cold wind blew, and the lights in the room instantly lit up.
A young man in black sportswear was standing in front of the window of the room and looking at him. He looked like an Asian, but his pair of strange dark red eyes still made Old Joe shudder subconsciously.
"Chicago police! Don't move! "Old Joe habitually said and pointed his pistol at Liu Xiaojiang in front of the window.
"... from the police station?" Liu Xiaojiang had used his ability to snatch the complete language from the morgue. Naturally, he did not need to translate at all. However, when he heard the other party claim to be from the police station and noticed that there was no power flowing in the other party's body, he could not help but be a little surprised.
However, he found that the other party was just an ordinary person. Even if the other party had a pistol in his hand, he would not really regard the other party as a threat.
Then..,
"... Mr. Policeman, have you misunderstood something?" Liu Xiaojiang looked at the ordinary person who pointed a gun at him. Because he could not think of why such an ordinary person would look for him, he did not intend to kill the other party as soon as he came up.
"Sir, I will arrest you on suspicion of murder. You have the right to remain silent, but everything you say will be used as evidence in court." Old Qiao stared at the young man in the room because he knew that he was not an ordinary person. If he was not careful, he would be doomed eternally.
"…" Liu Xiaojiang noticed Old Qiao's nervousness and excitement. He couldn't help but stroke his chin curiously.
"Woah, you're obviously pointing a gun at me, but you're still so nervous. You should know what kind of person I am, right? Why are you so agitated even though you know what kind of person I am? Could it be that you're here to seek death …?"
Speaking until here, he looked at Old Joe curiously and said, "He's not a villain with evil intentions, and he's also an ordinary person … I'll give you a chance."
"Speak …"
"What are you doing here? I don't think I've seen you before …"
"Are you … alive or dead?" When Old Qiao heard that the other party did not have any accent, he did not bother to consider whether the other party was a local. He continued to hold his gun with a nervous look on his face.
Hearing this,
Liu Xiaojiang narrowed his eyes, but he still replied calmly, "Of course …"
"You're obviously dead!" Old Qiao suddenly said agitatedly.
"I've seen your corpse in the bureau. Although Old Eli didn't allow the forensic doctor to operate on you, that degree of wound didn't even require a forensic examination. I knew that you must've died from excessive blood loss!"
"But …"
"But you came back to life in the bureau's morgue under almost impossible circumstances, and … and killed the two guys that Old Eli called over. Those two guys … are definitely superhumans that I've seen before. And you … What exactly are you?"
"Could it be that … you superhumans can't even die?!"
"…" Liu Xiaojiang couldn't help but twitch a few times after hearing these words. "You … How did an ordinary person like you know all this?"
"The case of the 13th Street …" Old Qiao realized that Liu Xiaojiang seemed to be willing to communicate with him, so he answered.
"I've been paying attention to this case because all the details presented in the case point to the fact that the murderer is not an ordinary person …"
"Old Eli's attitude is very tough, but it also shows that this case must be consistent with my previous guess. It must involve special existences like superhumans, and … it's really like this!"
"As for how I knew about the situation in the morgue …"
At this point,
Old Qiao felt that Liu Xiaojiang might be a guy who could communicate with him. Then, he pointed his gun at Liu Xiaojiang and carefully took out a button-like thing from his body.
"Old Eli would never have thought that I would ask my colleagues to install a bug in the morgue after I clearly expressed that I wouldn't interfere in the case and that I would even be monitored by him during my vacation …"
"So?" When Liu Xiaojiang saw the bug in Old Qiao's hand, he understood why Old Qiao knew about the situation inside the morgue. Then, he became even more curious about this ordinary person who acted recklessly.
After all, although this guy looked like a lunatic, he was obviously not a guy without common sense. He actually dared to meet him alone while knowing that he was in danger. It was hard for him to think of a reason why Old Qiao would do this.
"So what if you know all this? Do you think that you can capture me with a gun … by coming here alone?" "That's right."
"I know what I'm doing …" When Old Qiao heard Liu Xiaojiang's words, he immediately raised his gun and said slowly as if he was surrendering.
"I understand that if we really fight, guns are probably not a threat to you. But even so … I have to come here and take a gamble!"
"Gamble?" Liu Xiaojiang said.
"That's right …" Old Qiao put the gun on his waist and looked at Liu Xiaojiang with burning eyes. He said, "I want to come here and see if rare and mysterious existences like you need more of my kind. Is there a way for me to become like you?"
"I want to join you. I want to become one of you. If this requires me to give up everything … even my human identity, then I … will not be a human anymore!"
"…" Liu Xiaojiang was stunned when he heard this. Then, he slowly frowned and looked at Old Qiao coldly.
"Oh, I see. You actually have such thoughts. It seems that I came to the right place this time …"
