Chapter 988 Midnight invitation from a beautiful woman!
The engineer standing by was feeling awkward, wondering how to ease the situation and regain the favor of the young man. However, when he heard these words, he was completely stunned.
Why does this sound a little wrong?
"You dealt with those gangsters, didn't you do it to get back the money they stole from me?"
The old man was surprised.
He thought that this young man had an overflowing sense of justice and was seeking justice.
"Did I say 'Robbery in broad daylight is not nice'?"
Lin Baici asked back.
The old man nodded.
"I didn't say I would help you get your money back!"
Lin Baici smiled slightly.
"..."
The old man thought about it carefully and immediately wanted to curse.
indeed,
He never asked for money for himself.
Lin Baici casually counted the money he had just received.
If the old man had been more friendly, Lin Baici would have helped him get his money back, but the old man was sarcastic and told him to go away and not disturb his business...
Lin Baici must be crazy to help him ask for money!
"But...in your hand, that's my money!"
The old man argued with reason.
The engineer thought the old man was going too far.
When the gangsters robbed you, you didn't even dare to resist or say no, and you just kept smiling.
As a result, now you are complaining about Lin Baici?
To put it bluntly, it's because this young man has a kind personality. Maybe if we fight for it and arouse his sense of shame, we can get the money back.
Lin Baici held out a handful of money in his left hand.
The old man was overjoyed when he saw this, and immediately rushed to catch it.
Lin Baici dodged immediately.
The old man's face changed, and he cursed subconsciously: "Pushi, are you kidding me?"
After he finished cursing, he remembered how Lin Baici had just dealt with the red-haired gangster, and he panicked again.
I want to apologize, but I can't bring myself to do it.
"Why would I tease you?"
Lin Baici laughed: "Didn't you say that this money is yours? Call them, if they respond, I will give it to you!"
"..."
The old man's face darkened and he stood up to close the newsstand.
Quit it!
Come back home!
Lin Baici took out a ten-dollar bill, threw it to the old man, and then took out a copy of the current newspaper!
"Keep the change, please!"
Lin Baici first glanced at the publication date of the daily newspaper.
October 1970, 10!
Wow, we really went back to the past!
Look at the front page again.
Generally speaking, the hottest news recently is on this page.
The top ten Miss Hong Kong winners have been announced, the Rainy Night Butcher has not yet been arrested, and the number of victims has now reached nine.
The National Police Agency calls on female citizens to stay out as little as possible at night, especially on rainy days.
This Tuesday, a mysterious young man won 10 million in one night at the Royal Venice Casino and became a multi-millionaire.
The movie "God of Gamblers", produced by Jiahe, is about to be released.
Lin Baici read through the book quickly and felt that this Rainy Night Butcher and this mysterious young man might be the targets that need special attention.
The rain wasn't heavy anymore.
Lin Baici also finished reading the newspaper, then threw it to the old man, put his hands in his pockets, and walked into the misty drizzle.
The engineer hurried to follow.
"Handsome guy, my name is Liao Hongming, what's your name?"
The engineer introduced himself and extended his right hand towards Lin Baici.
"Lin Baici!"
Lin Baici did not shake hands with Liao Hongming, not because he was arrogant, but because both of them were soaked. In such a bad state, there was no need to go through all these false formalities.
Liao Hongming wiped his face and asked, "What are you going to do next?"
“Look for clues!”
Lin Baici is not a god, and as he has just arrived, he has to collect clues bit by bit.
"I think so too!"
Liao Hongming first affirmed Lin Baici's idea, and then tactfully advised: "I think we should find a restaurant to have a hot meal to warm up our bodies, and then find a hotel to sleep and rest up, so that we can fight again tomorrow!"
"This person is unfamiliar with the place. If he gets sick, it will be troublesome."
Liao Hongming was attracted by Lin Baici's money.
Although he was confident that he could make money, that would take time. If he didn't follow Lin Baici tonight, he would definitely starve and freeze.
"Then find a place to rest!"
Lin Baici walked down the street. The newspaper said that the Rainy Night Butcher always committed crimes on rainy nights.
This way the rain can wash away all traces of the crime scene.
In this era, criminal investigation techniques and technology were not yet developed, so it was indeed difficult to catch the murderer, so many unsolved cases were committed during this period.
When technology is advanced, let alone the means of solving crimes, just the cameras on the streets will make those with bad intentions think twice.
Lin Baici strolled on the street for an hour and found nothing.
The rain started to get heavier again.
"You are just wasting your energy and time!"
There was dissatisfaction in Liao Hongming's tone.
He wanted to go it alone, but was a little scared.
Lin Baici ignored Liao Hongming and continued walking forward.
It is now past 9 o'clock in the evening. Because of the rain, it has already become dark. It is useless to rely on the dim light of the street lamps.
There were many pedestrians walking in a hurry before, but now there are much fewer of them. They probably got home from get off work early.
Lin Baici stopped when he reached the entrance of a street.
There is a cat meowing inside.
So he walked in.
The routes chosen by Lin Baici were those with few shops on the roadside, which made it easier for the murderer to commit the crime.
"Hey, it's pitch black in there, don't go in!"
Liao Hongming looked at the dark alley and felt a little panicked. This scene was like the esophagus of a monster, which made people feel uncomfortable. The stench from the trash can made him even more disgusted.
Lin Baici didn't listen to him and walked forward for more than thirty meters before stopping.
A man wearing a black raincoat and long rain boots was standing next to a trash can not far ahead and throwing the dead cat in his hand into it.
The alley was too dark, and with the brim of the raincoat covering his face, Lin Baici couldn't see the other person's appearance clearly.
But judging from his physique, he should be a man.
Lin Baici raised his eyebrows.
Was this man a kindhearted person who saw the dead stray cat and helped to dispose of it? Or did he kill the stray cat?
"grass!"
Behind him, Liao Hongming, who was following, tripped over a brick and almost fell down, and couldn't help cursing.
"You are just forcing yourself to endure the hardship. Can't you wait until the rain stops and take action tomorrow?"
Liao Hongming complained, but when he saw the man in the raincoat opposite him, he shuddered subconsciously and shut up.
Lin Baici, with the mentality of rather killing someone by mistake than letting him go, was ready to capture the man in the raincoat, but the man quickly walked to the iron gate next to him, opened it with one hand, and walked in.
boom!
The iron gate was closed.
Lin Baici immediately chased after him.
There were a lot of trash cans, and with the garbage inside, Lin Baici guessed that there should be a restaurant on the other side of the iron gate.
Click! Click!
Lin Baici pulled the iron gate, but it didn't open.
It's locked.
"what happened?"
Liao Hongming didn't understand why Lin Baici suddenly went crazy.
Lin Baici gripped the door handle tightly, without even activating the power of the Divine Grace Hundred Horses, and simply relied on his own strength to pull hard.
Crunch!Crunch!
Amidst the piercing sound, the locked iron door was twisted and deformed by Lin Baici's forceful pulling, and then it opened with a click.
Lin Baici rushed in and saw a corridor with debris piled on both sides.
He accelerated and rushed into the back kitchen of a restaurant.
"who are you?"
There was a middle-aged couple preparing food in the kitchen. When they saw Lin Baici come in, they immediately held the kitchen knife and asked.
"Someone just came in, did you see him?"
Lin Baici asked.
"He went out."
The middle-aged man still stared at the wet Lin Baici with vigilance.
Lin Baici chased after him, and after coming out of the tea restaurant's door, there was another street, but the man was gone.
"grass!"
Lin Baici cursed, activated Yiqi Baiwei, and returned to the trash can.
It stinks!
But Lin Baici had no choice, because the man in the raincoat stayed here the longest and left the strongest smell.
Lin Baici quickly locked onto a scent.
It was thanks to the powerful grace of God, otherwise, on such a rainy day, in such an area with such a rotten smell, even if a hound came, it probably wouldn't be able to smell it.
"What on earth do you want to do?"
The middle-aged man was annoyed when he saw Lin Baici coming in again: "My door lock is broken!"
"I'm a plainclothes officer, catching the bad guys!"
After Lin Baici finished speaking, he took out fifty yuan and threw it on the table.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man said nothing more. After the two men left, he immediately closed the door.
Lin Baici followed the scent and chased it all the way.
Liao Hongming was so nervous.
He felt it was a waste of energy.
……
Sister Qing is a fifth-tier celebrity, a little better than an extra. In order to make money and become famous as soon as possible in Hong Kong Island, she rushed to three film sets even though it was raining today.
After work, she didn't even have time to eat the lunch box provided by the crew and rushed home in a hurry.
There has been unrest on the streets recently. There is a murderer who always targets women. The newspapers even gave him the nickname "Rainy Night Butcher".
Sister Qing was afraid something might happen, so she hurried home before it was too late.
Just when she was passing an intersection, Sister Qing noticed that a guy in a raincoat was following her.
"It's probably on the way!"
Sister Qing consoled herself: "I shouldn't be so unlucky as to run into that perverted killer, right?"
Sister Qing walked a little further and looked back.
It seems like there is no one left?
Before Sister Qing could breathe a sigh of relief, she saw a head popping out from the shadows at the street corner.
Looking around curiously.
Sister Qing was frightened, looked around, and immediately ran into a massage parlor nearby.
……
Lin Baici came to the massage parlor and stopped.
A beautiful woman with long hair stood in front of the shop, looking forward.
Lin Baici rubbed his nose.
The smell of the woman's perfume and the man in the raincoat were present all along the way, which meant that the man in the raincoat had followed her.
Could it be that she is the killer's next target?
Sister Qing crossed her arms and looked at Lin Baici and Liao Hongming warily.
"Sister, I just saw a sneaky person going forward, you'd better change the way!"
Lin Baici reminded, thinking about what excuse to make to be with this beauty.
He felt that by keeping this woman, he might be able to wait until the murderer took the bait.
Sister Qing looked at Lin Baici. He was so handsome, so he must have no shortage of women. So he shouldn’t be a mentally twisted murderer who hadn’t gotten love.
This is the conclusion drawn by experts.
The guy next to him, wearing glasses, looks like a weakling. It's obvious that he doesn't have the courage to do bad things. He probably can't even fight himself.
"Handsome boy, I'll give you two hundred dollars, can you take me home?"
Sister Qing hesitated for a moment and decided to find a bodyguard.
The main reason is Lin Baici's physique, which makes people feel safe.
"Ok!"
Lin Baici nodded, this was really a pillow delivered to you just when you were sleepy.
Sister Qing has been working to make a living since she was fifteen years old. She is very experienced. Not only did she take the route with many shops, she also asked about Lin Baici's situation in a roundabout way.
Lin Baici activated the master of performance and got away with it easily.
Liao Hongming felt like a light bulb.
Speaking of that two hundred yuan, do you have your own share?
Sister Qing walked very quickly, and twenty minutes later, she arrived at the foot of an old residential building.
She breathed a sigh of relief.
"I have arrived!"
Sister Qing took out her wallet, took out two hundred yuan, and was about to give it to Lin Baici when she saw him suddenly rush out.
The accumulated water splashed everywhere under his slippers.
Lin Baici ran at full speed and rushed into the alley ten meters away. He saw the guy in the raincoat at a glance.
"Still running?"
Lin Baici grabbed the trash can next to him and smashed it over like a cannonball.
Wow!
Most of the stuff in the trash can fell out and hit the man in the raincoat, causing him to stagger.
This delay was enough time for Lin Baici to gain.
He rushed behind the man in the raincoat and kicked him in the back.
boom!
The man in the raincoat rolled to the ground.
Lin Baici followed it, stepped on its body with his right foot, and then frowned.
The smell is wrong!
Not the person just now!
Otherwise, Lin Baici would have kicked him hard.
"Don't hit me, I'm a fan of Sister Qing!"
The man in the raincoat quickly begged for mercy.
Lin Baici stripped off the man's raincoat, revealing a thin face.
"Come with me!"
Lin Baici walked out of the alley and saw that Sister Qing had not left. She was still waiting in front of the residential building, looking over here. He couldn't help but have a better impression of her.
"This guy is following you, saying he's a fan of yours!"
Lin Baici explained.
"Sister Qing, ever since I saw the movie 'Guys and Dolls', I have been your fan!"
The young man was a little excited: "I brought a notebook and wanted you to sign it for me, but it got wet just now."
"Thanks for your support!"
Sister Qing smiled and said, "But don't follow me anymore. Come to the set and find me directly, okay?"
After chatting for a few words, the movie fan left.
"What if he's lying?"
Lin Baici wanted to know what Sister Qing thought.
"We have all seen his face. Even if he has bad intentions towards me, he wouldn't dare to do anything!"
Sister Qing explained: "Besides, I just asked for his name and address. I will go to the police station to file a case tomorrow!"
"Be very cautious in your response!"
Lin Baici praised.
Sister Qing stuffed the money into Lin Baici's pocket, thought for a moment, and asked, "Are you interested in coming up and having a seat and a cup of tea?"
Liao Hongming thought he had caught the Rainy Night Butcher, but it turned out not to be the case. He was feeling disappointed, and when he heard the beautiful woman's words, he was stunned.
What do you mean?
Throw yourself into your arms?
