I Have A Super USB Drive - Chapter 473
One night passed in a hurry, Chester, as usual, ate a bunch of fast food, then fell asleep under the influence of alcohol, when he opened his eyes again, it was already the next morning.
Looking at the time on the phone, Chester was so excited that he couldn’t even wash his face. He grabbed his work clothes and rushed toward the door of his house.
It’s only ten minutes before work.
Riding on his tattered pickup truck, Chester rushed to the construction site in a hurry, only to find that the construction site was full of police cars, blocking this traffic artery.
After getting out of the car, Chester immediately walked towards his post, but when he got to the police car, he was stopped. The policeman in charge of the intercept signaled him to stop.
“Hey, man, didn’t you see that our police are working on the case here? If you want to go there, it seems you must take a detour.” The
police stopped Chester and reminded him.
“Man, what’s going on inside?”
Chester asked immediately, while constantly looking inside.
“This matter has nothing to do with you, please take a detour.” The
police did not explain, still urging.
Chester agreed, still couldn’t help poking his head, but suddenly saw that not far away, the foreman who usually manages himself was busy, and he followed a man in a suit and kept explaining something. At the same time, there was a pleasing look on his face.
Although it was the first time that the man, Chester, saw him, he knew from the employee roster that this man was the person in charge of dozens of nearby warehouses.
This person’s position is probably located in the manager’s position, and above it is the general manager of the entire Los Angeles warehouse area, but these positions are really unattainable for Chester.
But these thoughts just flashed in my mind, because something more interesting happened before me-three or four police cars blocked the passage, and in a warehouse where Chester personally unloaded the goods yesterday. Outside the gate, it was surrounded by a large number of yellow warning tapes, and only a few policemen who were in charge of inspecting the scene with their cameras came in and out.
Seeing this scene, Chester suddenly understood something. He gloated at his sweating foreman, thinking maliciously what was wrong with the other party.
But at this moment, the foreman suddenly turned his head and saw Chester. Chester only saw the other person’s eyes light up, and then he waved his hand quickly, “Hey, Chester, come here. What are you doing there?”
Chester reluctantly pointed to the foreman at the policeman, and the police then let go.
Chester felt a little guilty in his heart. He crossed the police car’s defense line and walked towards the foreman. When he walked in front of the opponent, he had just spoken. The foreman couldn’t wait to ask, “Chester, you seemed to be The last one to leave, did you see Leon before you left?”
“Leon?”
Chester was startled, and a thought suddenly flashed in his heart: Could it be that this big battle is actually against Leon? related?
Thinking of this, he didn’t know why his heart was faint, like a child who did something wrong, so he quickly perfunctory, “I didn’t see it, it was already 6:30 when I finished unloading the last batch of goods, Leon should be in the warehouse at the time. Inside, I didn’t see him.”
“You’re really
telling me?” At this moment , the man in a suit and leather shoes suddenly spoke, and asked in a questioning tone, “I didn’t really see him before you left last night. After Leon?”
Chester shook his head quickly and looked at each other blankly.
“Oh, by the way, I forgot to introduce you. This is Mr. Connor, the person in charge of our team.” The
foreman explained quickly, “Chester, if you have any clues, you must tell them. Do you understand? ?”
“Understood.”
Chester nodded, and then asked awkwardly, “But what happened to Leon? Could it be that he…”
“Leon is dead.”
Before even asking, the foreman said regretfully. “It was discovered by Joseph this morning. He found that the goods in Warehouse No. 9 hadn’t moved all night, so he ran in to look for Leon, only to find that Leon was dead…”
“How did you die?”
Chester’s heart sank. , Asked a little heavy.
“You don’t need to worry about this.”
Before the foreman answered, Connor spoke first, stopped the conversation between the two, and then looked at the foreman, “I’ll leave it to you here. The police said that Warehouse No. 9 is temporarily It needs to be sealed off. In that case, you can lead everyone to avoid this warehouse and go to work in other warehouses. When Joseph comes back after finishing the transcript, let him start work immediately.”
“Understood.” The
foreman replied.
Immediately, Connor glanced at Chester again, Chester quickly lowered his head, and immediately saw the other side turn around and left the scene completely.
“Huh…”
Until the person in charge completely left, Chester saw the foreman secretly breathe a sigh of relief, and then the foreman waved his hand and said to Chester, “You also heard Mr. Connor’s words, next The goods in Warehouse No. 9 will not move for the time being. You can go to Warehouse No. 12 to work.”
“Good.”
Chester agreed and left on his own.
When he climbed onto the crane in Warehouse No. 12, his mind was still drowsy. Maybe it was because of not sleeping well last night, or the news of Leon’s death in the morning. In short, Chester’s work day They were all a little muddled, the whole person just mechanically unloaded the goods brought by trucks.
A day’s work was not a leisurely day. Chester only took a one-hour break during lunch at lunch, and then a whole day of work. When the last truck cleared all the goods and left, it was evening again without knowing it.
Chester was accustomed to this kind of busyness. He left his head empty and finished his work. When he climbed down from the crane, he realized that there were no police officers outside the No. 9 warehouse in front of the road. The warehouse door was locked. The remaining yellow warning tapes still surround the warehouse door.
Obviously, after a day’s investigation, the group of policemen has also left work.
Chester shrugged, and he walked towards where he had parked, but when he walked to the door of Warehouse No. 9 he suddenly felt a movement.
In Warehouse No. 9, he has the key.
At this moment, Chester’s breathing suddenly became a little short. He didn’t know why he was so excited. Perhaps it was the risky instinct that was suppressed in his bones for too long?
His life has been repeated for too long and too long, so long that he is even accustomed to it, but when an opportunity for exploration and adventure is placed in front of him, he realizes how fascinating and amazing this opportunity is for him. Temptation…
Now that the police are off work, and almost all other workers are off work, no one knows that they have been in the scene of the crime. Besides, they just go in and take a look to see what happened.
Chester took a deep breath. He only felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling. When was the last time he felt this way? Maybe it was when I was young, right? Time smoothed his mind and smoothed everything, and now, he is resurrected!
He seemed to have struggled thousands of times in his heart. In short, when Chester recovered, he had already stood in front of the gate of Warehouse No. 9 in a ghostly manner. Then he touched his pocket, which was the key to Warehouse No. 9 .
“Just take a look, just take a look…”
Chester comforted himself in a low voice, and then he stopped hesitating, stepped across the obstructing barrier, took out the key, and inserted it into the employee next to the gate of Warehouse No. 9 Go in and out.
Click!
With a crisp sound, the staff’s entrance and exit doors opened suddenly, revealing the dark space inside.
A familiar damp and musty smell came over.
Chester was very familiar with this smell for a long time. He looked at the sky, but saw that the sun in the west had only half of his body exposed on the mountain. Obviously it was getting late. In that case, Chester planned to himself Just look inside and leave without delay.
Thinking of this, Chester walked into the already very dim warehouse and looked down the rows of goods on either side.
In the dim, the rows of goods are like shadows in the dark, like dreams and illusions. Only when the setting sun shines through the few windows in the warehouse and hits a certain piece of goods will it form a special touch. Light.
The interlacing of light and darkness creates a special mysterious atmosphere, which makes Chester even more illusion of adventure.
Patter, patter, patter…
Chester walked step by step, his footsteps echoed in the silent warehouse, but he didn’t see anything until he walked more than half the depth of the warehouse.
Leon’s corpse is definitely not there, but there should be something left at the scene of the corpse, such as… the outline of the corpse’s posture when it died, and the yellow card next to various suspicious traces.
Did you go wrong?
Chester showed a puzzled look. He thought about it, and suddenly it sounded the place where the other party told him to go before he got off work last night. It was a corner of the warehouse with a lot of steel pillars. Could it be that Lai Where did Ang die?
Thinking of this, Chester stopped immediately, then turned around and walked towards the fork cut by the cargo.
This time, Chester finally got it right. He found what he was looking for not far away from the two standing yesterday-a silhouette of a corpse outlined by a white line, and three people next to him who were responsible for indicating the location. Yellow markers.
Here is where Chester died.
Seeing all this, Chester took a deep breath again and suppressed the beating heartbeat. He took out the phone, and then switched out the flashlight mode, allowing himself to see all the details on the ground as clearly as possible.
Following the light of the mobile phone, Chester looked suspicious, because from his position, the white outline on the ground really resembled Leon’s figure. Obviously Leon was lying on the ground when he died. Stretching straight, the whole person lying on the ground, like the shape of the letter “A”.
But the only thing that makes people feel weird is that the white human-shaped silhouette of the neck seems to be a little strangely long…
It’s like a pupil can’t draw simple strokes. The silhouette of the silhouette made of white lines, whether it is arms or legs, is very Coordination, but above the shoulders, it’s a bit weird-the silhouette of the shoulders up, there is a neck that is much longer than the average person, and the neck is slightly curved, just like the neck of a duck. coordination.
Chester was a little puzzled. He dared to swear by his mother that Leon definitely does not have such a long neck. If the other’s neck was really such a long, he would have applied for the Guinness World Records long ago, and he would not be with himself. Do the same kind of work from five to nine.
So, is it because the policeman in charge of crossing the line made the wrong hand shake, or is the dead person not Leon, but someone else?
Chester scratched his head, thinking uncertainly.
But just as he scratched his head with the hand holding the phone, the light from the phone suddenly shone into the corner of a pile of goods on the side. In that corner, a figure flashed past!
“!”
Chester suddenly got into a cold sweat. He quickly held the phone steady and took a photo in the corner. He was completely relieved when he could see exactly what the figure was.
It turned out to be a false alarm…
The figure that flashed past was nothing but an angel statue.
The material of this statue seems to be carved from marble, presenting a vivid image of an angel. It has soft curly hair, the hairstyle is close to the head, and there is a circle of hair hoop on the top of the head.
The arms and fingers of the statue are very realistic and rounded. The body is in the pleated tulle dress that angels are used to, and the most conspicuous is the pair of wings that are folded like feathers… The
only regret is, The angel’s hands pressed her face tightly, making it difficult to see her holy eyes and face.
When he reached the statue, Chester patted his chest, then heaved a sigh of relief.
“Huh…”
But suddenly, Chester’s mind flashed, and he faintly remembered that when he met the other party yesterday, this Leon seemed to be watching a relief? And on that relief, there seemed to be such a few angels covering their eyes?
Thinking of this, Chester immediately turned around and walked towards the depths of the warehouse according to yesterday’s memory. He wanted to find the mural painted on the steel column from yesterday.
Soon, he came to the place where Leon led him yesterday.
There are steel columns placed together everywhere, dozens of them are stacked together, occupying the eye-catching sight, and Chester raised his head and looked at one of the steel columns-
sure enough, this On the steel pillar, there are three angels covering their eyes, standing or squatting, which is exactly the same as the sculpture I saw before in terms of style and shape.
Wait…
Chester, who was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, suddenly stopped. He frowned, feeling something wrong, because in his memory, there should be four angels on the mural, two of which are squatting. On the ground, while the other two are standing.
But now, there are only two squatting angels and one standing angel.
Is there a mistake in your memory?
Chester turned his head in some doubt and looked in the direction he came. At this time, the sky was getting darker and darker, and there was only a dimness left on the way he came.
However, the reason Chester looked there was not because of the darkness, but because he suddenly had an inexplicable idea. Could it be that the angel sculpture he saw just now was the one that was missing from the previous mural? ?
The angel on the mural, came out?
