Evil As Humans

Chapter 18: motivation

Views:

Yin Ren did not move immediately.

He stood quietly, waiting for the other party to take action. However, the hostility only continued weakly, and there were several eyes watching him very close, and Yin Ren smelled a sense of vigilance.

Are you testing

He gradually narrowed the scope of his murderous intent, and under the heavy pressure, the air in the room seemed to freeze.

If Zhong Cheng had been at the scene at this time, even he would have noticed something was wrong - Yin Ren's brown eyes completely turned bright red, like sparks burning in the dark night. The long black hair flows automatically without wind, and the tips of the hair float slightly.

Five seconds.

Thirty seconds.

One minute.

The thing behind Yin Ren didn't stop releasing hostility, but it didn't attack regardless. The subtle feeling of being watched has not disappeared, and the source of those gazes seems to be a little further away.

It eluded him.

"Didn't touch anything?"

Fu Xingchuan was still dressed in the same weird outfit. He changed into a long coat, and the color was changed from ocher to crimson. He was not wearing protective clothing and was holding a long knife in his hand. The dark circles under his eyes were worse than the last time we met, and his body was filled with a strong smell of smoke.

"I didn't touch anything." Yin Ren replied sincerely.

He missed his dagger. At first, he claimed that he had picked it up, but now it could not even be regarded as a spiritual weapon, and was directly handed over by Shi'an as a first-class national cultural relic.

Zhong Cheng said: "Always here, let's continue to investigate the scene."

Zhong Cheng said with a serious face: "You may have been a social worker before, you can think about it in this direction."

Yin Ren: "I feel it, I'm hungry."

He had seen such things as "gaps" thousands of years ago. He just thinks of it as a swamp under the turf, a crack in the ice - they are all traps for unlucky people, so just avoid them, why bother with the dead things

"Some brains." Yin Ren smiled.

Zhong Cheng, who was guarding the door, said, "Do you feel anything?"

Zhong Cheng said: "..."

Very aggrieved.

The clues that should be given... No, he gave all the daily work reports that should be given. As a living person, Fu Xingchuan could sense his murderous intention, and his level was acceptable. Yin Ren felt relieved when he was asked to take over the matter.

Great, Yin Ren thought, this is the effect he wanted.

"Have you been here just now?" A voice suddenly interrupted.

Yin Ren glanced at Zhong Chengshuo and expressed hesitation: "I didn't do anything special... Just now, Brother Zhong calculated that Gao Mengyu looked outside for unknown reasons, so I kept looking at the window."

Now they can move freely in Haigu City. Although it is still far from noon, it is not impossible to have lunch.

Both of them turned their heads and saw Fu Xingchuan with a solemn expression.

The gap naturally has no eyes, something is taking advantage of it, like a poisonous snake lurking in the swamp.

Yin Ren stood at attention and said in a heavy tone: "Yes, I suddenly felt a chill just now, so I deliberately stayed alone in the room for a while. Then..."

The evil things in the apartment are not weak, not hostile, and not aggressive at all.

There is work to be done, but now he is just a weak and helpless preparatory ghost master. Yin Ren decided to learn from the previous experience and leave the matter to more professional people.

Fu Xingchuan's eyes wandered: "When you are so strong that you have to become 007."

Yin Ren: "..." Is it really okay to be so straightforward? Do you guys still want to train new people

"Then I felt hairy on my back." Yin Ren looked serious, "But I thought it was an illusion. Maybe I was hungry and thinking wildly, so I went out to ask Brother Zhong for dinner."

However, as soon as he finished muttering, Fu Xingchuan in room 1413 shouted from a distance: "My knife is not sharpened, so I won't cut down living people!"

Calling it a day, Yin Ren moved his joints and happily opened the door.

Zhong Cheng's expression was a little complicated for a moment.

Yin Ren instantly added: "Wow, our Minister Fu also has very good hearing. Is this a first-rate master?"

Fu Xingchuan and Zhong Cheng both looked at him.

After handing over the protective clothing smoothly, before going downstairs, Yin Ren said to Zhong Cheng, "Do you think Minister Fu's knife is considered a controlled knife?"

"Eat!" Yin Ren readily agreed. He had been coveting the beef ramen next to his apartment for a long time.

Fu Xingchuan did not show a relaxed expression.

"...Want to eat ramen?" He didn't say anything after all, he just looked at the time.

So he added in a good mood: "Is there really such a mysterious thing as murderous intent in the world? Minister Fu is awesome, when can I learn this?"

He pretended not to notice anything, calmly put away his murderous intent, and stretched his body.

Fu Xingchuan was noncommittal. He glanced at the empty room and turned directly to Yin Ren.

"What did you do in the room?" He said calmly, "There was a very strong murderous intention nearby just now."

"What about you, have you noticed anything unusual?"

The hostility in the room disappeared instantly, as if it had never existed. Although before dissipating, the hostility was mixed with a lot of "Are you okay" doubts.

Evil things also have their own self-cultivation. People usually stay away from dangerous visions such as gaps. In other words, if there is an evil creature that wants to take advantage of the gap, it must have some ability within it. There are Shian employees everywhere, but it still chooses to stay here, which is enough to explain a certain problem.

The isolation belt at Fanghua Apartment has not yet been removed, and the number of passers-by watching the excitement has only increased. The old men and women had a rare pastime, so they had to set up a table downstairs to make tea and massage.

When passing the crowd, Zhong Cheng said his eyes were scanning here and there. Not knowing what he saw, he suddenly stopped for a moment.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Zhong Cheng said, looking back and shaking his head. The meal has not arrived yet, and there are only a few customers in the ramen shop.

This is a chain store and the store is very clean. The interior decoration is unique. There is only a layer of glass between the kitchen and the restaurant, so customers can see the chef Bai An cooking the noodles. The kitchen is steaming with white steam, and the freshly cooked beef sauce is bright in color and full of fragrance.

Zhong Cheng said he ordered a bowl of noodles with soy sauce beef and vegetables. Yin Ren ordered the "Big Mac" sea bowl, and added sweet fermented rice wine and thirty skewers of mutton skewers - it was a rare opportunity, and he didn't want to eat the leaves.

The ramen is served, and the bone broth is filled with hot smoke. Thin radish slices are garnished with green garlic sprouts, the white-cut beef is neither thick nor thin, and half of it is covered with orange-red chili oil. The whole dish is full of color, flavor and flavor.

Without Liang Shan to heat up the atmosphere, Zhong Cheng said he usually kept silent while eating. He eats very carefully, even eating all the garlic leaves on the soup. Yin Ren was busy making skewers, and the two of them were speechless for a while.

It's just that Liang Shan's person is not here, but his spirit is still there. The two of them had just finished eating when their phones vibrated at the same time.

After taking a closer look, Liang Shan changed the name of the group chat to "Shi'an-Nongfu Orchard".

[The river flows eastward: @久成正国@fruitknife. Are you two in youth this morning?]

[The final result:?]

[The river flows eastward: Minister Fu took several black-stamped bosses to youth! Aren’t we still investigating the murderer? Things are certainly not simple. Do you two know what’s going on?]

Yin Ren raised his eyebrows, feeling that this senior was here to take a lunch break to gossip.

[Fruit Knife: There seems to be something dirty in Gao Mengyu’s apartment [fear][fear][fear]]

[Fruit Knife: Minister Fu also said he felt a shark]

[Fruit Knife: Killing Intent]

After a few days of pondering, Yin Ren has initially understood the usage of Pinyin, but the answer is a bit jerky.

[The river flows eastward: Impossible, absolutely impossible! ! !]

[The big river flows eastward: The gap inspection is very intensive. The evil thing has been discovered long ago. Besides, people have entered the gap, so why is the evil thing still there?]

[Finally achieved the right result: guarding the corpse?]

[The big river flows eastward:…]

[The river flows eastward: Anyway, don’t interfere in this matter. It might be a new type of evil thing that you two can’t handle]

[The river flows eastward: Anyway, the big guys are moving, and the results will come soon]

[Fruit Knife: [Hands Together]]

[Finally achieved the right result: [Hands together]]

Liang Shan didn't reply, and Yin Ren quickly continued to eat noodles - after chatting for a while, the noodles were a little soaked.

"Under what circumstances do you think people would count food?" Zhong Cheng asked suddenly.

Liang Shan pulled his thoughts back to the case, and Zhong Cheng said that he began to think about the logic of Gao Mengyu's behavior again.

"Either pack up things and pick out the bad ones and throw them away. Or food and grass... there is not enough food, so estimate the consumption." This kind of thing has been the same from ancient times to the present, and Yin Ren answered it smoothly.

Zhong Cheng said to stop the chopsticks.

"Gao Mengyu was in a panic at the time. The meat wouldn't go bad even if it was frozen for a month. She probably didn't suddenly want to clean up the house. There is a market near Fanghua Apartment, the express delivery is normal, and the food will not be enough. Unless she decides to stay shut in ”

"According to what you said, the abnormality was in her room. She wanted to avoid the 'evil things', so normally she should escape from the apartment."

"You have a bit of a misunderstanding. Evil things don't necessarily want to harm people." Yin Ren stared at Zhong Cheng's face that was starting to turn ugly, and his heart slowly started to bleed, "Maybe the 'abnormal phenomenon' was not involved at all. Didn't Miss Fang say before that there is a possibility of 'living people causing trouble'?"

Zhong Cheng stood up abruptly, and the edge of the bowl was rubbed by him, causing the soup to almost spill out.

Yin Ren, with quick eyes and quick hands, protected the bowl: "If you have something to say, say it well. If you have something to say, speak it well!"

"Follow me to the police station this afternoon."

"Why, I didn't bring a knife today." Yin Ren became alert.

"I'm not trying to trick you. I have a guess, but there's no evidence, at least not enough information from Shi'an."

"Okay, you eat first."

Zhong Cheng paused. A few seconds later, he muttered "shameful waste" and sat down, stuffing noodles into his mouth without any taste.

Five minutes passed.

"What are your guesses and why are you so excited?"

Yin Ren finished the food in a hurry, and his mouth was finally empty. Opposite him, Zhong Cheng drank the remaining noodle soup in one gulp and sighed.

"You are right. Gao Mengyu has an ordinary resume and is not a special person like you. This incident may be able to eliminate the 'abnormal phenomenon' - what Gao Mengyu saw outside the window made her firmly believe that it would be dangerous to go out."

Zhong Cheng said his eyes were focused, and Yin Ren was a little uncomfortable being locked in those dark eyes.

Yin Ren recalled for a while: "But I have read the information. In the past week, there have been no unusual situations nearby, not even neighborhood conflicts."

"The 'dangerous situation' Gao Mengyu encountered may seem like a trivial matter to others. And that situation may not have happened for the first time, otherwise she wouldn't have reacted so strongly."

Zhong Cheng said every word.

"... A fearful person will definitely vent her fear through some channels. She may have left some clues. The police station should have investigated the relevant personnel and kept more comprehensive records."

Yin Ren pondered, twirling his fingers around the ends of his hair intentionally or unintentionally. Zhong Cheng said that he rarely spoke at such long lengths. He took a sip of tea and looked at Yin Ren with some embarrassment.

"It's a good idea, but it's a bit honest." Lord Ghost King smiled slightly, "It's rare for us to have favors, so it would be a waste if we don't use them."

He shook his phone and immediately dialed Lin Bei's number.

"Hello, Sister Bei? It's me, Xiao Yin from Shi'an."

"I told Cheng that I need your help with something, yes, an interview. At two o'clock in the afternoon, would you like to come to the Municipal Public Security Bureau?"
