Pendulum Rider

The drive back was smoother than before, and we soon arrived at Zhenchuan Middle School. Since it was not convenient to park near the school, Xiong Xiong drove the car to the car wash shop directly opposite the school, and he stayed in the shop waiting for the car wash. I followed Shang Locke across the road and came to my alma mater.

Shang Locke showed the pass to the doorman, and the guard let us in. I don't know where Shang Locke's pass was obtained, but it doesn't matter.

It should be the first time I have come to this school on Locke. I almost forgot where it is. He actually walked straight in a certain direction, as if he was so familiar with this place that he could walk with his eyes closed. I followed him. Walking side by side with him, he deliberately slowed down his pace to let me keep up. I have to say that his emotional intelligence is quite high.

It seems that it is the end of class time, the whole campus is boiling, boys are running in the corridor, some girls are chatting on the railings, and several oncoming students have retreated to the side to let Shanglock pass, I can't help but sigh After taking a look at his offensive aura, he walked like a king, and the "citizens" retreated to both sides of the road to pay attention to him. When we passed by the students, they looked at us curiously , while whispering.

When we came to a class in the second grade of junior high school, Shang Locke asked a girl sitting at the door for the names of several boys. When the girl who was doing homework heard Shang Locke's voice, she raised her head and saw When he heard the owner's appearance, his lips were slightly parted and he was stunned.

Shang Luoke had to ask the question just now again: "Student, do you know... are these people there?"

"Oh." The girl finally came to her senses, "They were called to the teacher's office because they were found copying each other's English homework."

"Okay, thank you." After finishing speaking, Shang Luoke turned around and left the classroom, and I noticed that the girl hadn't recovered from the shock when she saw Shang Luoke's appearance just now. For this sudden intrusion into my sight, A man like an idol, many people must be shocked when they see it.

Although the girl just didn't mention which office it was, Shang Luoke still walked straight in a certain direction, as if he had read the game strategy in advance, knowing where is the dead end, where is the treasure chest, and where What kind of monsters appear, and what rewards can be obtained after knocking down the monsters.

When I walked next to him, I felt that he had a halo of the protagonist, and his whole person was shining, so I understood that besides the young couples who show their love in broad daylight, there are other people who can blind people's eyes. People like Shang Locke who are blessed by God.

Shang Locke suddenly stopped in front of an office door, and I stopped too. He knocked on the door, and a voice of "please come in" came from inside.

Shang Locke opened the door and walked in first, followed by me and closed the door behind.

When entering the office, the aroma of coffee with milk came to the nostrils. I saw three boys standing at a desk with their heads down, and a young female teacher wearing glasses was sitting on an office chair, holding a cup of coffee in her right hand. A red pen, the table is full of homework being corrected, and a cup of steaming coffee is placed in the direction of my left hand. I can't help but take a big breath of the aroma of this coffee.

When the teacher saw us, he asked, "Who are you looking for?"

"Mr. Jiang, can I take up the time of these three students?"

I was shocked by Shang Luke's words again. How did he see that the teacher in front of him was surnamed Jiang at a glance?There is no name tag on the teacher's clothes. Could it be that he checked the teacher while checking the student's information?

I saw the teacher glanced at us suspiciously, as if he was guessing our identities.

"Isn't one of your students in the hospital, and the three of them are good friends of that student. I want to investigate a case, so I need to find witnesses and ask some questions." Shang Locke wanted to reassure the teacher.

"We don't know anything!" A boy yelled when he heard Shang Locke say that he wanted to investigate the case.

All three boys showed expressions of "the baby is frightened".

"What case are you going to investigate?" The teacher put down his pen, sat on his seat and stared at us.

"About who the hell broke the resident student's leg."

"I heard it was caught by an elevator."

"If the elevator caught people really happened, did you hear anyone talking about the elevator during the summer vacation?"

The teacher recalled it for a moment, and said uncertainly, "It seems not."

"That means it's not an elevator." Shang Luoke turned to the three boys again and asked, "Did you see a sneaky person in the park during the summer vacation this year?"

"No, we only saw two men hugging each other." One of the boys said firmly.

"We know nothing, really nothing!"

"Did the little friends in the hospital tell you to say that? Or did you also get threatened by someone?" Shang Luoke asked them repeatedly, and the boys trembled and dared not answer, giving people a feeling that Shang Luoke was bullying them. Feel.

"Okay, let's go back." Shang Locke said to me suddenly.

"Huh? We're done asking so soon?"

"I roughly already know what's going on. Anyway, I have confirmed that they are witnesses. If necessary, I can call another person."

So we said goodbye to the teacher in the office and the three boys, and walked towards the school gate.

Regarding the short-term evidence collection this time, I was still a little confused about the situation, so I asked, "Have you figured out the truth of the matter?"

"The boy in the hospital said that the prince asked him to tell his classmates not to tell what happened that day, and his classmates were also afraid of retaliation, so they dared not admit that they saw the prince in the park that day, and the prince didn't have to tell them one by one. Therefore, the only boy who was directly threatened by the prince was the boy who was hospitalized."

"Then what you said in the hospital just now, why did the prince choose to directly threaten that boy?"

"Maybe it's just a coincidence. If it's not a coincidence, it's very likely that the boy witnessed some of the prince's actions elsewhere."

"Some actions mean?"

"For example, on the day of the incident, he witnessed the prince jumping over the wall and entering the car company. Maybe the boy didn't pay attention at all, but the prince remembered his appearance. In short, that boy is the most important witness."

"So what's our next move?"

"You and your future husband are going to have lunch, and I will take the subway back to Nanxiang by myself."

"Xiong Xiong is not my future husband! Don't just set me a flag, I am single."

The corners of Shang Locke's mouth raised slightly, he patted his little book, and said, "You set this Flag yourself, and it's written in the script."

"Where did you get the script? Isn't this your investigation book?"

Shang Locke smiled with his nose: "Who knows."

Looking at the mysterious look of Shang Locke, I immediately thought of the "regret diary" that Brother Lu once told me. At that time, he said that he found a part of the regret diary, but that part only had pages without a cover. , he also said that the regret diary can tamper with history and write the future.

Could it be that the small book in Locke's hand is actually part of the diary of regret?If this is the case, then wouldn't he really be the man with the script in his hand?Maybe that part of him can't modify the past and the future, but can only predict the future, so he can investigate many things and solve many cases by himself.So isn't he the cheating "famous detective"?

"What impolite thing are you thinking about now?" Shang Luoke said as if he could see through my mind, "If I could foresee the future, I would have found my brother a long time ago."

Before we knew it, we had already reached the school gate, and saw that the raging car on the opposite side had been washed brightly, and the blue sky and white clouds could still be reflected on the hood of the car.We took our seats again according to the original seats, and Xiong Xiong drove Shang Luke to the subway station. When Shang Luke got off the bus, he left a sentence of "going to prison tomorrow" and turned around smartly. Xiong Xiong was near the subway station. After parking the car in the underground parking lot, he opened the car door for me and asked, "What do you want for lunch?"

“Japanese Cuisine.”

"Then today I invite..."

"AA system." Before he finished speaking, I said first, "We are not boyfriend and girlfriend, there is no reason for you to treat guests, and even if we are boyfriend and girlfriend, I don't like being treated by others for no reason."

"Feel like you owe me?"

"You can say that."

After leaving the parking lot, we walked into a Japanese-style yakiniku restaurant and chose the buffet. Since this day was a working day, it was worth the meal time, but there were not many customers in the store. The clerk led us to the location inside , Turned on the switch of the grill on the table.We ordered some beef and veggies and the waiter quickly brought out plates of raw beef.

Xiong Xiong first picked up two slices of beef and put them on the grill, and then grilled enoki mushrooms next to the beef.

Just as I was about to turn over the beef on the grill, Xiong Xiong stopped him and said, "Leave me alone."

"We're just friends, right? You're going to make me lazy."

"I do this to everyone, don't mind."

"Okay, I almost forgot that you are the central air conditioner. It may be because of the bet. I care too much about your behavior."

"You care about me?"

"It's your behavior." I corrected.

"What do you think of Yueyue?" Xiong Xiong suddenly changed the topic.

"How about what?"

"How you feel about him as a person."

"Hmm... His EQ fluctuates from time to time, and sometimes he speaks too bluntly. Although it is an advantage to be honest, he is still a person with a high EQ, good looks, and low IQ in his profession. Not going anywhere."

"Falling in love with him?" Xiong Xiong teased, put the roasted beef on my plate, and then put a few slices of raw beef on the grill to start roasting.

"I won't fall in love with anyone easily." I teased the other party in turn, "What about you? Have you been secretly in love with him for a long time? Or have you been dating secretly for many years? Although you keep emphasizing that you are straight Man, just don't want to expose your relationship, right?"

After speaking, I picked up the beef, dipped it in the sauce, and then put it in my mouth and began to chew.

"He and I are classmates and friends. I am a straight man and he is gay. He confessed his love to me when he was a student, but I rejected him." Xiong Xiong said a shocking inside story in a flat tone.

"Shang Luke confessed to you?" I fell into extreme shock and forgot to swallow the meat in my mouth.

"Then we became good brothers."

I swallowed the beef in my mouth and said, "Don't change the subject, how did he confess his love?" I became very interested in this.

"An ordinary love letter, no, it should be an unusual love letter. The whole page is full of codes, and I have been deciphering it for a long time."

"It was actually deciphered by you?"

"It was a note he threw to me in history class. The paper was full of numbers. At first I stupidly added up the numbers. It turned out that it had nothing to do with mathematics. Then I thought of the history textbook. I Compared with the history textbook, I interpreted the digital codes into words, and then I also used the history textbook to write him a rejection letter. At that time, the history teacher thought I was reading the textbook very seriously. Hey, I suddenly missed my school days gone."

"Pfft."

"What are you laughing at?"

"I suddenly remembered that in junior high school, when the food group was first established, Lin Xiwu took a group of people to a restaurant for dinner. The situation was like devils entering the village. The people in the restaurant almost thought they were going to smash the scene."

"Why don't you tell me about your student days, what's interesting?"

Speaking of my school days, the first thing I think of is when Brother Lu took a group of friends to the comic exhibition in the second year of junior high school.

"Brother Lu looks quite similar to the Japanese voice actor Takahiro Sakurai, but he has good eyesight and doesn't wear glasses. When we arrived at the comic exhibition, there were many girls pointing at Brother Lu from a distance. At that time, the cosplayers were more eye-catching. At that time, Brother Lu was dressed in ordinary clothes. Suddenly, a few girls mustered up the courage to walk up to Brother Lu, and then accidentally said something like, 'ah, I recognized the wrong person. But it really looks like Brother Kao who doesn't wear the body', and then they asked Brother Lu to take a group photo with them, and then Lin Jiayi became a little jealous and had an awkward fight, although the two started dating the next day, But to Lin Jiayi, brother Lu is a very important person no matter whether he is in a relationship or not." When I said this, I suddenly realized that this was not an interesting thing at all, "Sorry, it's not an interesting thing. Guzi recalled this rather rotten scene."

"No matter what you say, I'm happy to hear it." Xiong Xiong smiled at me.

"Aren't you a straight man, why can you listen to this kind of topic so happily?"

"Because I like your voice."

"Stop talking, eat well!" I felt a little hot on my face, maybe because the temperature around the oven was relatively high.

As a result, Xiong Xiong really had no voice, and the atmosphere between each other was even more awkward than before, so I deliberately didn't look at him, sometimes stared at the grill, sometimes looked around, and suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure walking into the shop Here, I craned my neck and looked at the man.

Isn't that the black lizard who talked to me on the subway before?

I saw her with long hair loose, wearing a pink bowknot headband, wearing a pink woolen coat and pink short boots, and carrying a small pink leather bag in her hand. Her whole body is pink and tender, which makes her look small. how old.Next to her was a man who was wearing glasses and casual clothes. The two nasolabial folds on his face were slightly obvious, and his hairstyle was clean and capable. He looked like a senior executive in the workplace. Could it be that he was the boyfriend solo that Black Lizard mentioned?But that man doesn't look like a post-90s generation at all, at least he's 30 years old.

They were taken to another seat by the waiter. I couldn't hear their conversation at all. The black lizard sat with its back facing me. It seemed that it hadn't noticed my existence, maybe it had noticed but ignored me on purpose.

I observed the two of them and found that there was no atmosphere of lovers between them, so that man should not be a solo, and no matter how you look at that man, he doesn’t look like a mixed race. If he is a Chinese-Japanese mixed race, then I have nothing to say Yes, but he looks much older than Black Lizard, and Black Lizard's boyfriend should be younger than her, so what is the relationship between them?

And the more I looked at it, the more I felt that the man seemed to have seen it somewhere before.

Xiong Xiong, who had been keeping his mouth shut since just now, suddenly stretched out his hand and shook it in front of my eyes, asking, "What are you looking at?"

I didn't answer Xiong Xiong's question, so he looked back along my line of sight, and then said in a surprised tone: "Isn't that the manager of our cooperative company? I've seen him a few times before."

"Eh? That man is the manager? What's his name?"

"Ye Zhihao, in the summer, he was just promoted to the general manager of the Shanghai branch of a Japanese company. His father is the owner of a small domestic company. I'm afraid he will inherit his father's company in the future."

"how old is he?"

"I don't know the details, I'm in my early 30s."

"Then do you know what relationship that woman has with him?"

"Mr. Ye doesn't seem to be married yet, maybe he's his fiancée, or maybe he's a secretary."

"Ah..." I sighed softly.

"what happened?"

Although I knew that the man couldn't hear us, I still lowered my voice and said: "I remembered, I met that man once, when it was the Shanghai World Expo, Lin Jiayi and the foodie group and I They split up, and I saw that he was looking at Lin Jiayi with abnormal eyes, and then I took Jiayi's hand, trying to get rid of him, but he stepped up to follow, and I had no choice but to take Jiayi to escape Fortunately, another man appeared and took him away. Although I don’t know who the man who took him was, but thanks to that man, otherwise we would have to stay in the toilet all day .”

"It turns out that he is such a pervert, I really can't see it."

I saw Mr. Ye suddenly say something to the black lizard, but the black lizard turned her head suddenly, our eyes met, she smiled at me, then turned her head away again.Although there was no hostility in her smile, I was taken aback by her.

Next, while I was eating barbecue, I watched the actions of the two people in the distance, and I saw Mr. Ye suddenly handed a thick envelope to Hei Lizard. Hei Lizard opened the envelope and glanced in, then quickly closed the envelope. Put it into the pink leather bag that you carry with you.

At that time, my first reaction was that there was money in the envelope, but after thinking about it afterwards, maybe it was really something like a deposit.

Not a few days after I met the two in the store, I saw Mr. Ye in the news. Besides, a surprising figure also appeared on the TV screen. News reports on the inexplicable deaths of tourists in stalactite caves.
