Two Hundred and Twenty Nine Chapters Have Culture, Vacuum Things, Perpetrators
Henry: "Maybe we should call the police. Oooh, there's no signal, it's a great place for a birthday."
Everyone: "..."
Henry: "Looks like something threw them in from outside at high speed."
Everyone turned their heads to look at the broken window, and their sight stretched out to see a pile of metal buckets.
After a while, everyone went out, leaving only Henry with a sprained foot to rest on the high stool.
Watching everyone go out, he turned his head to look at the unfortunate who died: "Are you familiar with this place? How does the barbecue taste here?..."
When they arrived at the pile of metal buckets not far from the hole in the window, they found that one of the buckets facing the hole had bones and food residue at the bottom, and there was a faint smell of burnt inside, which was the same as the smell of one person and one raccoon inside. Look at the can on the side that says: Vinyl.
Nick looked around and picked up a small box from under his feet: "Match! It seems that someone is crazy here."
A picture appeared in everyone's mind: a man, looking at the raccoon eating at the bottom of the bucket, grinned and lit a match and threw it in.
Suddenly, Luke's expression changed, signaling everyone to be quiet, and he quickly walked back into the house.
Inside, Henry was still chatting with the corpse, and only stopped when he saw him come in.
Luke stood by a passage behind him and gave Henry a silent gesture.
Not long after, a man suddenly came out with a gun and looked at Henry with a surprised face.
The next moment, Luke's hand pulled over the shotgun in the man's hand, and the other hand pressed the man against the wall.
He is now ten times stronger than ordinary people, and one hand is enough to subdue ordinary people.
"Who are you?" he asked.
The man: "Who are you? Why did you break into the store?"
Nick: "Are you the owner?"
The man: "...No. I'm just a clerk."
Nick: "What's your name?"
The man: "Slick."
Nick: "Where were you? What are you doing?"
Slick: "I'm looking for something in the underground warehouse."
Both Luke and Nick looked at a bag that the man was slung by his side, which contained several bottles of high-strength wine.
The two looked at each other, and Luke let go of his hand, letting the Slick regain his freedom.
This person is also in danger with that gun, and now there is no gun and no threat.
Slick saw the corpse sitting there, and exclaimed: "Gomez, what happened to you? Ah, you killed Gomez?"
"Sir, we can explain the cause of his death. The deceased was named Gomez. We found food scraps and ethylene gas and matches in the metal bucket outside. Apparently Mr. Gomez made a trap, Then he wanted to ignite the vinyl and burn the raccoon to death." Little G explained.
Seeing that Slick was clearly listening, Little G continued: "But he didn't pay attention, the vinyl gathered at the bottom of the barrel, and the match couldn't be lit. He stood at the mouth of the barrel and shot at the raccoon inside. Then... he and The raccoons were bombed and flew in together."
Slick was silent for a moment,
Nodding sadly: "That's right. Gomez always likes to compete with raccoons, these damn rodents, they are thieves, always sneaking in to steal food and make trouble in your home."
Haggis raised a hand. "Sorry to interrupt. A raccoon isn't actually a rodent. It's a carnivorous raccoon, and a mouse is a rodent."
Crowd: ...
Slick stared silently at Haggis, a straight man for a moment, and suddenly gave him a thumbs up: "When you look at you, you are a person who has really read books."
Crowd: ... It's as if someone's cultural level is low here.
Luke, Selena: We also have high school diplomas, okay? I also took a biology class in high school.
After that, everyone finally relaxed and began to question Srick, who claimed to be a clerk.
The main problem is where is there a phone and where is the car.
As a result, the restaurant closed down long ago, and the phone line was pinched for not paying the bills.
Slick just said there was a radio in the utility room downstairs and they could try it.
Then, Nick and Little G followed Slick to find the radio station, and Luke and the others stayed in the restaurant to rest.
Luke's expression was a little weird. He looked at the barbecue stove in the restaurant, and stared at the pile of wood ashes for a while before he looked away.
In the utility room, Nick and the others found the radio station. After the power was turned on, a voice came from inside: "Earth people, this is Zentraedi, you have been discovered by us, tremble and fear..."
crackle!
A string of sparks came out of the radio station, and then a little smoke rose, and there was no movement.
Nick: "…are there any other radio stations here?"
Slick: "No, you can only try, maybe you can fix it."
Nick: "Then I have to find the vacuum tube first. Are there any here?"
Slick tried to think back for a moment, then replied, "Only a vacuum cleaner, can that work?"
Nick, Little G: "..."
Why don't you say there are vacuum bags here?
Little G was annoyed: "I really can't find a phone, so I'll assemble one myself."
Above, Luke and a few were sitting there, and suddenly there was the sound of a car's engine outside, and everyone looked happy.
But the next moment, there was a bang, and then there was the sound of ping ping ping pong dingling.
Everyone looked at each other, got up to open the door, and found that a red convertible classic car had crashed into the pile of metal buckets just now, and a little white smoke was coming out of the hood.
A middle-aged woman wearing a red and white plaid shirt and a thick gray coat pushed open the car door and walked over crookedly.
Haggis: "...Well, it looks like this car can't be driven either. Also, why do I think this car looks familiar?"
Luke smiled, but said nothing.
Selena: "If I wasn't dazzled, it was this car that almost hit us while driving on the road just now."
Crowd: Well, that unfortunate car accident can be counted as finding the perpetrator.
The middle-aged woman looked confused. She walked near the door and finally saw everyone standing in the door looking at her: "Uh, who are you? Why, uh, what is in my store?"
As she stood there, a strong smell of alcohol penetrated everyone's nose, and she kept burping.
Selena: "Are you Henry?"
The middle-aged woman looked mocking: "Ha, I'm not Henry, but his wife. Well, to be precise, it's the ex-wife he abandoned."
Everyone subconsciously looked at Henry, the birthday star who was sitting in the store.
...
In the utility room, Nick and Little G are looking for tools.
Little G: "Srik, is there no phone here?"
Slick: "The one in the store is broken, and even if it's not broken, it doesn't have a phone bill. Oh, there seems to be a backup phone here, on the wall over there."
Little G walked away to look for the phone, and Nick continued to look for the tool.
Suddenly, he saw a vague figure standing behind a door.
