Chapter 1220 Dr. Baker

After passing another section of gravel road, the off-road vehicle finally entered the urban area of ​​Nuuk.

As the largest city in Greenland and the administrative center, Nuuk is home to about 17,000 people. In China, this may be the number of people in two communities, but it can be called dense on this island. After all, Ilulissat, the third largest city in Greenland, only has 5,000 people. Six policemen, in fact locals are more accustomed to referring to cities except Nuuk as settlements.

Although Nuuk is small, it is well-equipped. I don’t know if it is influenced by Denmark. The colors of the houses on the coast are also various, including red, blue, yellow and purple. It is like a fairy tale world. Various infrastructures in the city are quite complete. , the pier is the busiest, with fishing boats coming and going, bringing baskets of freshly caught seafood ashore.

Fishing and mining are also the economic pillars of Greenland, and probably because it is summer, all the snow in the city has melted, and there are still small yellow flowers blooming on the roadside, swaying in the wind.

Songjia parked the off-road vehicle outside a convenience store and bought two cups of hot cocoa to pad his stomach. He drank one cup by himself and handed one cup to Zhang Heng. The latter thanked him and took the cocoa. However, when Songjia took his cup After finishing the drink, he discovered that Zhang Heng had not touched the other glass at all.

"Don't you try it?" Songjia asked, "It tastes very good, especially in winter, when the temperature here will drop below zero. There is nothing happier than drinking a cup of hot cocoa at that time. ”

"I'm a little allergic to cocoa." Zhang Heng excused himself casually.

Greenland is a completely unfamiliar place to him, and he is here to investigate what happened eighteen years ago. Although he did not tell anyone else before traveling, he is not sure whether Chronos will have any means to know about him. After all, he is the agent of the former, and Chronos regards himself as his guardian angel and has always been elusive.

In addition, Zhang Heng has investigated Song Jia's resume and found no problems with the girl during the period after getting off the plane. However, he will not relax his vigilance. You must know that his current opponents are not only players but also gods, so there are many Things cannot be judged according to common sense.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I should have asked you before buying." Songjia apologized quickly after hearing this.

"It doesn't matter. If there is nothing else, let's get on with the business."

"Okay, this is very close to the University of Greenland. Let's go to the school first and see if he is there."

Songjia drank the hot cocoa to replenish her energy, and then drove the SUV outside the University of Greenland. However, she asked the students at the school and found out that Baker had just left work not long ago.

Although both parties regretted missing each other, Songjia also knew where Baker was now, and soon brought Zhang Heng to Baker's residence.

Dr. Baker's house is close to the seaside and can see sunset and sunrise. Because of Greenland's unique geographical location, the ratio of day and night here is also very magical. Taking now as an example, Greenland has more than 21 hours of sunshine in summer, so although it is already 6 pm, the sky has not darkened at all. On the contrary, in winter, Greenland will only have 3 hours of daylight.

"Huh." Songjia said softly after parking the car.

Zhang Heng on the side was also looking around, "What's wrong?"

"I didn't expect his clinic to close so early." Songjia said, and then explained, "Dr. Baker's residence is together with the clinic. The first floor is where he receives medical treatment, and the second floor is his bedroom."

"Does he have a wife and children?" Zhang Heng asked as he opened the car door.

"No, he usually lives alone. It is said that when he first came here, he hired a young girl to receive patients. But later he found that the clinic had no business, so he fired the person again to reduce costs. In addition, from The other salary I received from the University of Greenland was enough to keep me going.”

Songjia turned off the engine, got out of the car, and came to Dr. Baker's closed door. However, she later found that Zhang Heng, who had seemed very positive about the matter along the way, was standing next to the car without moving.

Songjia followed Zhang Heng's gaze and saw a row of glass windows, "Oh, that's a tavern there. Do you want to come here for a drink when you're done?"

"Let's talk about it then." Zhang Heng was noncommittal, withdrew his gaze and came to Song Jia's side.

The latter took a breath, then reached out and knocked on the door.

As a result, there was no reaction in the room.

"Didn't he come back directly after get off work?" Songjia whispered, adding some force to ensure that the people inside could hear him.

However, there was still no response.

So Songjia walked around to the west window of the hut, put her hands on the window, and looked in, but she soon regretted her action.

Zhang Heng heard a scream, and then saw Songjia quickly take two steps back, but did not pay attention to the slope at her feet, and almost rolled down from it. Fortunately, at the critical moment, a hand grabbed her back.

"Are you OK."

"I...I'm fine." Songjia was obviously still in shock, and Zhang Heng soon found out the reason for her scream just now.

This is because a middle-aged man about fifty years old is standing behind the translucent curtains at the moment, looking at them coldly, with no blood on his pale face. Songjia must have been facing his face just now. together.

"Doctor Baker?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, that's right, it's Dr. Baker. I didn't expect that he was at home, and he was on the first floor. Then why didn't he come to open the door just now?" Songjia had stood firm now, and had recovered from her fear. She was relieved. She and Dr. Baker knew each other, but she just didn't expect the latter to be standing by the window.

Afterwards, Zhang Heng saw Dr. Baker moving. After a while, the door was finally opened, but he did not go out. He stood behind the door and said something in Danish.

Zhang Heng said in English before Songjia could speak, "I feel like I have some mental problem. I often feel nervous for no reason. I can't sleep properly at night and I also sweat. I heard that you are the only one on the island." If you are a psychiatrist, ask Songjia to bring me to your place for a look."

Dr. Baker frowned and glanced at Zhang Heng when he heard this. After a moment, his eyes moved to the travel bag in Zhang Heng's hand, "Are you a tourist?"

"Yes, I picked him up at the airport not long after he got off the plane," Songjia said.

"come in."

Dr. Baker didn't say anything more and finally stepped away from the door.
