Path of the Dead Prequel: Wings of Silver

A quarter of an hour later, I got dressed and went down to the lobby. I saw the fat man sitting on the sofa looking at his hands in a daze, so I whistled and walked quickly towards him. When I got closer, I saw that the fat man was playing with a card between his fingers. He complained to me a few times, probably because he didn't even say hello last night and just stayed in the female tenant's suite and had sex. If this kind of thing happened, If Lao Ai finds out, he will definitely be scolded. I reached out and took the card. It turned out to be a small envelope with a name tag inside. It said: Ming Ri Guanghui Detective Agency.

"It was delivered here about half an hour ago."He pointed to the front desk. Krys had already got off work. At the moment, the ugly woman was on duty. Vans looked a little depressed and said to himself:"The man said he wanted to find someone to live in the hotel. A fat man in his thirties also submitted a photo. Why do you think a private detective would be interested in me? Did someone report me for finding a hacker? Or did something happen to Marlowe and Lin Rui in Georgia? I'm scared now, what do you think I should do?"

"What does that guy look like? Where are you now?"I looked around. The lobby was empty. There was only an old couple standing in the distance, checking the unit price. Seeing this, I felt puzzled and asked:"But since he came to find you, why did he run away by himself?"

"I didn't meet him, but he was said to be a middle-aged white man in his fifties, with a very unkind appearance. This guy is going to have breakfast now and will be back soon. Look, his car is still parked in front of the door."The fat man scratched his head, stretched out his fat hand towards the floor-to-ceiling window, took out a Weed from his pocket and continued to sigh. I took a closer look, and couldn't help but rub my eyes. The car was parked here these days. At the GMC in front of the park, it turns out that the mysterious man wearing a raincoat and taking pictures last night did not come to cause trouble for the female soldiers, but came just for him. So who is this person? In addition to looking for him, will there be any other Are you following me?

"After all, you're just a detective, not a police officer. What are you afraid of if you didn't do anything wrong? Just play it by ear."I vaguely sensed that this person was not as simple as Fan Fat thought, so I planned to hide in the dark and watch. If I found that the uninvited guest was not only following him, but also staring at us, I would immediately go upstairs to report the matter. Notify Krys and prepare her to run away!

"Just wait, wait with me for him to inquire. My heart is in a state of confusion. You see, both legs are beating time. Let me use the fire."He was groping around with a cigarette in his mouth, and then he grabbed me for a lighter. I was in a hurry to leave and started to dig into my trouser pockets, only to find that something had fallen into the female soldier's room. At this moment, I was quite unsure and didn't know what to do. , I had to explain that I felt uncomfortable because I was not wearing underwear. No matter how uneasy he was, he would let me put on some pants first. When he let go of his hand, I fled upstairs, returned to room 0512 and knocked on the door.

"why is it you again? Didn't I ask you to call back at noon? Seeing you every few minutes like this and constantly harassing me really disrupted all your moods. The female soldier stood in front of the door, impatiently holding her waist, and asked:"What do you want to do?""

"Wow, remember last night we climbed the terrace to check out the car in front of the park? Today they came to your door! Now down there."I pretended to be threatening, pointed at the tip of her nose, and said:"Maybe someone will knock on the door soon."

"Okay, I know everything, just come."Little Cherry pushed me out and slammed the door. Along with a burst of swear words, the sound of the TV sounded in the room. This is really a needle in the heart of a woman. She was tender and affectionate a second ago, and now she is suddenly angry. I really can't understand her. What were you thinking? I brought trouble upon myself, so I had to return to the temporary dormitory on the sixth floor angrily.

"Was that girl your new girlfriend last night? You two live together. In fact, this is good. Everyone should live their own lives. He and Hollisman are inseparable, which will inevitably lead to misunderstanding. Krys was peeling apples for his children in the room. From time to time he turned sideways and said with a smile,"When did you two meet?" She looks very energetic and her size matches you just right."

"Don't mention it, it's just for fun. How could I find that silly girl who wants beauty but not beauty, who wants femininity but not femininity as my girlfriend? But you, can you still laugh? Did you know that a man came out of nowhere from the bottom of the building, saying he was here to kill the fat man, but maybe this guy was just coming for Lin Rui."I waved my hand towards Krys, indicating that she would hold the baby and stay away for now.

"You know, I hadn’t left when that person came to nominate the film. Is that impossible? He didn't even know Vance's full name, so he took the photo and said he was looking for this fat man. If he was from Northern California, he would definitely recognize me immediately."She asked me to come forward and sit down, held my head and put it on her shoulder, and said,"I know you are doing it for Hollisman's good, but this is too suspicious. Don't worry, we have been on the run for so long, and our basic counter-reconnaissance experience is no worse than that of a police detective. You are overthinking it."

Sure enough, a girlfriend should be like Krys, gentle and maternal, with such soft arms. No wonder Lin Rui loves her so deeply. I was alone for a while, then let go of her, and was about to Looking for an excuse to leave, the landline rang.

"Have you changed it? The detective is back, and he's looking for not just me, but probably all of us."The person on the other end of the phone was a fat man. He was smoking a cigarette and said,"This person is here specifically for the ancient Yin House of Lu Ku!"

Five minutes later, I changed into a set of casual clothes and went down to the hotel lobby. Fan Fan was sitting with others at an outdoor coffee shop, waving to me to go out. Just like that, I quickly walked into the sun and began to carefully look at the person in front of me. Come on.

This man is over fifty, slightly shorter than me, with a plump body, a broad mouth and a square face, and his face is not ferocious. He looks like a dad in TV dramas. He looks a little haggard, maybe because he didn't get a good rest last night.. He was wearing a smoky gray spring and summer suit. There was a briefcase on the left hand side, and an envelope paper bag on the right hand side, which was full of photos of Vans Street taken near the hotel. Was this person wearing a night vision goggle last night? The one in the raincoat? I’m not very good at judging.

"Who is this? Your friend?"Seeing that I was just standing instead of sitting, staring at him without saying a word, I felt a little weird, so I asked the fat man:"Do you think it's appropriate to talk about such a topic with outsiders present?"

"There is nothing inappropriate. He was also in Lycu's ancient mansion at that time, and he was with me."Vance shrugged and replied.

"Hey, you old fan, didn’t you say he’s looking for all of us? Why do I hear it? It seems like he is only following you."I immediately realized that I had been betrayed by the dead fat man, and now being exposed to this person was tantamount to admitting that I had participated in the ghost house tour.

"This was something we did together, but now you are all hiding and pushing me to the front, how can there be any loyalty at all? Fan Si rolled his eyes and said plausibly:"Besides, we didn't break the law. He was just asking casually. If Lao Ma and……"

"I know, we can talk if we want to."I went to a nearby newsstand to buy cigarettes and a lighter, then sat down and replied. If he was allowed to continue talking, everyone else would be exposed in less than half a minute, and the origin of this guy was not explained. , this damn fat man is indeed very unreliable. Looking back at the time when he and Yan Jing proposed that we join the gang, Lin Rui immediately rejected him. Now it seems that his vision is quite vicious, and he has long thought that such a thing would happen. Bad things happen.

However, I don't panic. Detectives are not police. They are hired by others. Since it is Vance who is looking for him, it is probably an informant sent by Bolton or Eubisio to make sure that we did not slip away. Since I didn't do anything wrong, so what do I have to worry about?

"No, I think you may have misunderstood. I didn't mean to cause trouble at all, but what should I say? The middle-aged man took out a business card from his pocket and put it on the table, saying,"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Desmond, from New York.""

(Starting from this paragraph, the main character Desmond officially appears. For convenience, we might as well call him Old Dai.）

"I used to be a detective, and eight years ago I was involved in the case of cultists gathering to cause trouble in the ancient mansion of Lycu. I was one of the first people to arrive at the scene and one of the inspectors responsible for the investigation. I don't have any right to come to you for questioning. I just hope to solve the mystery. Of course, you can tell me or not."Lao Dai rubbed his face, took the Weed brought by Fan Pang, took a few puffs, looked up at the blue sky and white clouds, and sighed:"It's so miserable, it's so miserable. On that day, we many people died"

"So what did you find?"I thought to myself that this was none of my business. Police handling of cases is inherently dangerous, so I asked casually.

"A small part was found. Just when he was about to go deeper, he was stopped by the CIA for no reason. Then everyone responsible for the case was transferred, and I lost my best friend. To make it clear to you, I'll explain why in detail."

In the mid-summer of 1990, when they received various shrill and strange screams coming from the Gushan ghost house, the townspeople of Esudijia called the police. The underground artillery bureau first went to a car to check, but was shot in the woods. , so they notified the police and called for reinforcements from the police from six surrounding counties.

After receiving the call, Lao Dai got on the SWAT team member's motorcycle and rushed to the mountainous area of ​​​​Unneca. As soon as they rushed into the main entrance of the mansion, they were immediately attacked by people hiding in the abandoned house. The gangsters inside attacked with fierce firepower. The detectives and the rapid response SWAT police were quickly suppressed and had to find bunkers to fight back. As more and more reinforcements arrived, the gunfire in the mansion gradually became sparse.

At dawn the next day, the police team rushed into the mansion and conducted a carpet search from floor to floor. Only then did they find that the cult members had already fled. Therefore, they divided their forces into two groups, one group continued to stay in the three Z-shaped buildings, and the other group passed through. The culverts entered the underground waterways of Yin Mansion and headed towards unknown depths. These well-trained detectives were much more capable than we had previously expected. When they broke into the short tunnel of the underground pit, they already felt the whole thing.It is very strange that there are countless mazes created under the mansion, all pointing to them leading to an unknown place with a larger area.

Subsequently, the SWATs encountered a bomb attack in the tunnel, killing many people in an instant, including Lao Dai's partner. However, they completed their assembly and planned to continue to pounce on Yinxiao, but were stopped on the spot. The superiors asked everyone to evacuate and no longer deal with this strange case. It will be handed over to other departments to handle. In this way, Lao Dai had to give up the investigation and returned to the police station.

In the year that followed, there was no news about any progress about the ancient Ninth House of Lycu, and no so-called professionals were looking at this case. It was as if it had been forgotten by the world and became a taboo. No one is allowed to ask. Not only that, several commissioners who were in charge of the case were removed from their posts and forced to sign an administrative order. With all kinds of disappointments, Lao Dai resolutely quit his job and swore in front of his best friend's grave that even if he spent his whole life, he must find out the whole story to comfort his soul in heaven! So he signed up for a private detective agency in New York and eventually found us in Charlotte

"I don’t deny that I do know some inside information. But how did you find me? Fan Pang held his cheek and asked in confusion:"I want to say, why did you only track down me, and why you were able to track down the Fruit Core Hotel so accurately?" I can't understand this."

What Lao Dai said afterward couldn't help but make us stunned. His experience was so bizarre that it was difficult for all of us to predict, and it also awakened the darkest nightmare deep in everyone's memory!
