latent syndrome

Chapter 2 2. Entry
A week later.

The night sky in Los Angeles is covered with dusty rain. Under the pollution of building exterior glass and neon lights, the puddles on the ground reflect various muddy colors.

Ke Lin, who was wearing a brown woolen coat, just came downstairs from the Internet cafe, smoking a cigarette on the side of the street, and was about to go to the supermarket to buy some rations.

Colin, who has been reduced to a jobless vagrant, is extremely embarrassed. He looks rough, with stubble on his face and heavy bags under his eyes, and he is in a haggard state.

In addition to the LDK apartment, he also has a property in the suburbs of Los Angeles, but after experiencing that kind of weird incident, he didn't want to stay at home alone.

With the spare money in hand, I can still repay the loan for a few months. If it is not enough, I sold the LDK apartment at a low price.

Colin stubbed out his cigarette butt, went into the convenience store, and prepared to buy some food and wine to satisfy his hunger.

I don't know why, but recently I am very hungry, eat a lot more, and my mind is not very clear. After going to the hospital for an examination, the doctor can't diagnose anything.

Convenience stores are full of products, and the rows of showcases are like a maze.

[Today at [-]:[-], an explosion occurred in the central business district of Los Angeles. 】

The cashier was concentrating on watching the news on his mobile phone, and his voice was a bit noisy.

While Colin was picking up the wine, a long-haired man in a black leather jacket bowed beside him, stuffing something into his arms.

Almost subconsciously.

click!
Colin clamped the long-haired man's wrist, held it firmly, and stared at him expressionlessly.

"If you put the things back now, I'll pretend I didn't see anything."

A series of strange encounters made Colin a little confused. He hoped that the boy would reject him, so that he would have a reason to beat him up. Although the boy was not short, about 1.8 meters tall, he was still half a head shorter than himself.

Colin stared down at the thief slightly.

The long-haired man glanced around vigilantly, his eyes were emerald green, like gems, but his eyes were not kind, like a dormant poisonous snake.

After finding that there was no one around, he approached Colin and whispered, "Sir, I'm just taking back what belongs to me."

Colin: "???"

The long-haired man noticed that Colin didn't want to let go, and continued: "Look at the clothes on my body, they are all bought from street stalls. My sister works in a potato chip factory, and she was cut off because of a machine failure." Two fingers, and the damn factory didn't pay her a penny, which was interpreted as operational error in the judicial process, and I don't have a serious job, I just don't want to starve my family."

The long-haired man's words were extremely sincere, and Colin clicked his tongue and let go.

"You are really a kind person." The long-haired man lowered his head and laughed, and then said, "Do you know that the world is like a balance?"

"What the hell are you talking about?"

Colin's eyelids twitched. He was in a bad mood and couldn't help being rude. He was a little depressed that he couldn't beat this person up. The tone and attitude of this person really made people angry.

"That's right, sir." The long-haired man packed the stolen snacks and beer in a plastic bag, and said, "If we rank chaos and order on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 represents the most chaotic, which is of course not good. , 10 represents the most orderly, but that is some kind of totalitarianism, so the position of 5 or 6 is the most appropriate."

"What do you want to say?"

Colin hissed, a little impatient, he really didn't want to meet the second freak.

"I said, the world is like a balance, isn't it? When a popular standard or norm is at 2 or 3, if you only use 5 to act, then nothing will change. Only 8 Or act in the way of 9, and add a heavier weight to the scale, so that everything will slowly return to the right track. In fact, all opposing things can be substituted into it, such as indifference and virtue, just like you Same thing to do next, sir."

The long-haired man scratched his ears, then looked at Colin very seriously.

"So you want me to pay for it for you?"

Colin understood the implication, and it was really irritating to be a riddler without money to pay the bill.

It looked like the long-haired man had already packed the stolen things, but it was nothing, just two cans of beer and a few bags of snacks.

"Yes." The long-haired man laughed dryly, "I am indeed ashamed of what I did just now."

"Hold."

Ke Lin felt that with this man's eloquence, not being a stockbroker was a waste of money, second only to being a pyramid scheme leader.

Ke Lin bought a bottle of spirits and a portion of cooked food, which can be directly heated in the store later.He paid the bill at the counter, and paid the long-haired man by the way. The total was just over 80 yuan.

Just when Colin paid the money, thinking that the long-haired man would thank him.

"I'm Di Yu, this is a very important name, you will see it frequently in newspapers in the future."

I saw an orange high-end convertible sports car parked at the intersection outside the convenience store. Di Yu held the packing bag and helped the door to flip over to the driver's seat nimbly. On the co-pilot was a woman in a blue deep V dress. The Eastern European style sexy girl, tall and graceful, at the best age, any man will be a little bit lustful when he sees it.

"My good sister, thank the gentleman who paid for us."

Di Yu put his arms around the girl's waist, and pointed to Ke Lin.

The girl blew a charming kiss to Colin, and Di Yu stepped on the accelerator and drove away in a supercar.

There was a black line on Colin's forehead. He bit off the cap of the spirits bottle with his teeth, took a big gulp and wiped his mouth.

What the hell is going on every day.

At this time, a message came from the mobile phone, it was a police officer from the Los Angeles Police Department.

Because Colin was the neighbor of the female corpse, and there was a suspicious hole in the wall, he was asked to go to the police station to make a statement three days ago, and some routine inquiries did not regard him as a suspect.

Colin told everything truthfully and explained everything he had experienced.

The police officer in charge of the record shuddered just listening to Ke Lin's story, not to mention the witnesses, who marveled at Colin's nerve or courage. If it were him, he would probably leave a lifetime of psychological shadow.

Ke Lin didn't take it seriously, this kind of thing would naturally make people very uncomfortable, and he hasn't recovered yet, but it would be a bit too exaggerated to say that it is a shadow of life.

Seeing the message on the mobile phone, Ke Lin was very puzzled. He thought that he had said everything he should say, and there should be nothing else, but now he told himself to go to the police station immediately.

The time was chosen wrongly, it was almost nine o'clock, and it was late at night.

But in order to support the security work, Ke Lin still chose to call the police station.

Two 10 minutes later.

After nine o'clock, Ke Lin met the police officer who took notes for him that day at the gate of the police station.

"Detective Gray, this is the key person in that case, Colin."

The police officer introduced Colin, and said to Colin: "This is the senior detective sent by Shangfeng for this incident, Ms. Gray, she has some questions for you, you can talk about it, I still have work to do. "

After saying that, the police officer left, and there was no sound at the quiet police station gate, leaving only the two of them and some street lamps glowing pale.

Colin noticed this woman at the first glance, she was a very dangerous person.

Her back is straight, and her height of about 1.7 meters also looks very tall and straight.

Wearing an extremely ordinary white jacket jacket and straight-leg pants, the boots are military tactical boots, and carrying a silver metallic suitcase.

The most astonishing thing is her face, which seems to be blind in one eye, completely covered with a black cloth from one side of the forehead to the left eye, and there is a hideous scar under the ear on the other side, which distorts and spreads to the neck and even lower.

Although he tried to cover it up with a tattoo of thorns and vines, it was still exposed. It was unimaginable what kind of injury it was, about half of his neck was cut off.

A head of clean shoulder-length black hair, the only remaining eye is dark brown, and the brows are extremely cold, which makes Colin feel like he is being scrutinized. Even though he is about the same age as him, he feels that he is not in the same age group.

"I'm sorry to disturb you so late, Mr. Colin, you probably don't have any plans for tomorrow, right?"

Although the words were very polite, Gray's attitude was not polite at all, it was extremely cold, and it was a normal and harmonious conversation, but she was abruptly pulled to a very serious point.

"I'm now a vagrant."

Colin took a cigarette out of the pack, lit it, and hissed sharply.

Gray's face was expressionless, and she didn't react at all to Colin's behavior.

"Very well, find a place to sit down and discuss in detail. What I'm going to say next will exceed your cognition."
