Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2143 Confinement (XII)
Someone is indeed there.

In such a deserted place, a car that is not turned off is enough to attract attention even for a short while.

Fu Qian also noticed that while the two of them were talking, someone was already peeping down from upstairs.

And it looks like Father Hake even knows who the snoop is.

"Not working today? Ed."

We got out of the car together, and almost as soon as we knocked, the door opened from the inside.

A stocky, red-haired man in home clothes peeked out with a puzzled look on his face.

In contrast, Huck was not surprised at all and greeted him casually.

"We're off today. What can I do for you, Mr. Harker?"

It can be seen that Huck is still quite respected in this place. Ed's tone is not only cautious like a police officer, but also respectful to an elder.

"We are looking for someone. Can we come in and talk?"

Huck maintained his usual style, with no emotion and a lazy look.

Besides, the reason he used was obviously a bit euphemistic.

The “person to be found” can be Rachel or the missing young people.

He is indeed a person with rich experience in grassroots operations.

Someone always has to drive away the absent car. The person who opened the door was Rachel's husband Ed, so the probability that his absent wife was also at home was probably small. What she did specifically was undoubtedly a little tricky.

If some things are accidentally revealed by outsiders, the consequences may be serious.

Although he was keenly aware of this, Fu Qian had no intention of saying more.

"Of course, please come in."

Although he looked a little ferocious, Ed was obviously an easy-going person and he made an invitation almost instantly.

……

It is indeed exquisite, and not just shiny on the outside.

Along with the invitation to visit, Fu Qian fully maintained the ease of his entourage and watched the whole process without asking any questions.

And I have to say that the interior of this building is the most exquisite one I have seen so far.

Tables, chairs, counters, clothes hangers and hanging lights, each one is obviously designed with great thought and the layout is also very exquisite.

Even the wallpaper seems to be carefully selected and is very consistent with the overall style.

If it was all arranged by Rachel, it would be understandable why she was not very interested in the waitress job.

She obviously pursues a high quality of life, and even according to Huck's description, her appearance is eye-catching enough - it's really good.

Fu Qian soon found evidence to support Huck's statement. In a wooden photo frame on the cabinet, there was a black-and-white photo of the two of them.

The man is obviously Ed, he is much younger.

The woman has long, slightly curly hair, affectionate eyes, and her rosy, plump lips can still be felt even in the black and white photo, which is indeed enough to attract attention.

"What's wrong? What happened to Rachel?"

It was obvious that this charm still worked on her husband. He was already worried when he was leading the way, and Ed couldn't help asking questions almost as soon as he sat down.

"Why, I'm looking for two missing persons."

As expected, regardless of whether the other party knew it or not, Huck had no intention of revealing that Rachel did not go to the breakfast shop, but just naturally turned to business.

"They are very young, a man and a woman, unfamiliar faces. Have you noticed them in the past two days?"

……

Missing people? Ed was confused, and it was easy to see.

No matter whether it is good or bad, it is normal to feel a little confused when there is a sudden reversal under certain psychological expectations.

"I haven't seen any strangers recently...Is Rachel really okay?"

However, this does not mean that it completely believes what Huck said. After shaking its head subconsciously, Ed actually continued to ask.

Judging from his expression, it is hard to say that he has keen insight into something. It seems more like he is so concerned that he subconsciously associates everything with his wife.

For example, the so-called missing persons were just made up, and Huck was deceiving him with good intentions for some reason - especially when there was a strange face he didn't recognize in front of him.

When he finished speaking, Ed was staring at Fu Qian with a complicated look.

Especially this stranger, maybe even the type your wife might like, right?
The reason why clichés are called clichés is that they require absolutely no thought to understand.

The complexity in Ed's eyes was something he could easily summarize the key points of.

In this relaxed state, he didn't even take his eyes off Rachel's face in the photo.

……

The clash of momentum is very subtle, and Fu Qian has always been very efficient in stepping on people's weak spots.

Soon, the harmonious communication atmosphere became stiff in milliseconds.

Even because he didn't say anything at the beginning, theoretically his actions couldn't cause any obvious problems, and he successfully blocked Ed from both ends.

The end result was that Fu Qian could clearly hear his breathing becoming heavier step by step.

From the corner of my eye, everything, including the red hair, seemed to be becoming brighter.

"The boy is only fourteen."

Just when something seemed to be struggling to break out of this stalemate, Fu Qian finally spoke.

He spat out a number coldly, still too lazy to even look at Ed's face, highlighting the vigor of a young law enforcer.

"I believe your wife is much better than him in taking care of herself. Do you want to recall it again?"

……

Different people communicate in different ways.

He was not as friendly as old man Hake, but after Fu Qian's question, Ed, who seemed to be ready to explode at any time, suddenly experienced a reversal of momentum.

After a brief daze, even the red hair on his head seemed to lose its spirit, and Ed's whole person quickly became gentle.

Of course, Fu Qian would not think that it was all his own credit. His and the old man's attitudes, although seemingly contradictory, actually happened to achieve the effect of singing the same tune.

In Ed's opinion, the probability of a group coming to fool him was obviously much smaller, and the possibility that the missing persons were real increased.

As for why we should “speak up for justice”?
Although the rules for entering the "other world" are still unclear, Ed's mental state is clearly very dangerous.

Fu Qian had no intention of embarking on another journey to the other world at this moment, so he never thought of really driving Ed crazy.

While stimulating him just now, I was actually paying more attention to Huck's reaction.

It turned out that when the old man sensed Ed's negative mood, he didn't react too much.

He frowned slightly, as if thinking about how to tell Rachel that she was not in the breakfast shop without irritating her.

"You seem very worried about Rachel. Is there something wrong with her lately?"

At this moment, the old man seemed very satisfied with the turn of the situation, and his attitude became relaxed.

"…Nothing, I'm just addicted to painting."

Ed, who had been thinking hard under Fu Qian's urging but had obviously gained nothing, shook his head and said that his wife was just addicted to art.
