Chapter 648 Smile
Zhang Heng realized that he might have to go to the river again. His previous investigation was interrupted by the college student, not to mention how Zhang Heng found nothing valuable at the scene as well. Perhaps then, a second visit might yield some gains. At the same time, he had no intention to stop looking for the student. Until now, Zhang Heng had no idea if the college student was alive or dead. If he were still alive, he could not just sit there and do nothing. Zhang Heng wanted to know the truth, or save him if he could.
Although the creatures had modified the surveillance clips, there were still surveillance cameras everywhere. In this modern society, the government had installed surveillance cameras almost everywhere in the city. After coming out from the garage, the street outside was filled with shop lots, and many of them had their own surveillance camera. There were also vehicles parked by the roadside overnight. Their dashcams might have captured something important.
Going through the footage one by one, however, would take a lot of effort. And Zhang Heng couldn’t threaten the shop owners like he threatened the young guard. Hence, he could only look for the brand of the cameras in their shops, pretend to be the manufacturer, and contact them for a free quality inspection.
Upon thinking about that, Zhang Heng started to miss Fan Meinan. Although he had Lv.2 makeup skills, it turned out that Fan Meinan was still better at it. She was Loki’s agent anyway. With a professional liar like her on his team, it would life a lot easier.
That said, Fan Meinan should be fighting in her own proxy-war quest right now, so Zhang Heng could only leave the thought behind.
Considering the current situation, it was necessary to learn from those things, and caution needed to be taken with every step.
Zhang Heng did not head home immediately after watching the surveillance clips; instead, heading to Qin Zhen’s house first. Both friends since childhood, Zhang Heng’s grandfather and Qin Zhen’s parents were well acquainted with each other. To ensure that no one would suspect him, Zhang Heng decided to put on a full show, going to Qin Zhen’s house to play video games for an hour.
The two were playing NBA 2K16 in Qin Zhen’s room. One controlled the Warriors, while the other the Cavaliers. “I have something else to do on Sunday. I don’t think I can come and find you,” said Zhang Heng as he scored a three-pointer with Curry.
“Huh? What do you plan to do this time? Please don’t tell me you need to buy soy sauce
same excuse twice, arent you?” Qin Zhen asked after he used Owen to shoot a three-pointer.
“No, but I have an appointment with a cla.s.smate.” This time, Zhang Heng tried to shoot with Thompson but failed.
“Boy or girl?” inquired Qin Zhen as he controlled another Thompson to catch the rebounding basketball from the backboard.
“Why does gender matter so much?”
“Otherwise, what should I pay attention to? Should I ask which supermarket you’ll visit or what brand of soy sauce you consume?” Qin Zhen asked. “As a friend, of course, I have to pay attention to your personal life… and you’d better be dating a girl. Otherwise, it would be weird when yous start missing our appointments for another man.”
“…I’m just going to borrow her workbook and copy her answers.” Leveraging a distracted Qin Zhen, Zhang Heng stole the ball from him and pulled the Warrior’s signature movedefensive counterattack.
“So your date is really a girl?” Qin Zhen seemed uninterested in playing the game. He continued to serve slowly from the backcourt.
“Yes, she is my tablemate.”
“Yes. It’s always better to go after someone close to you. Where are you two planning to meet? KTV, movie theater, or milk tea shop?”
“Wanda Shopping Mall.” “Oh, awesome! You are getting better at this. Attacking and defending simultaneously,” Qin Zhen praised Zhang Heng and gave him a thumbs up.
