"Why does this coffee feel worse the more I drink it? Am I getting tired of it?"
Downstairs in the library,
Lawyer An was still studying the coffee in his hand.
The huge thermos was filled to the brim.
"Could it be that the boss suddenly doesn't mind me drinking this, so coffee has lost its taste for me?"
Lawyer An doesn’t usually drink coffee. He liked drinking tea in his previous life. Now he has become like this “state”. He can’t sleep anyway, so he drinks coffee. Is he trying to stimulate himself
Only a certain salted fish, who has no trouble sleeping, drinks this every day.
However, the specific reason is actually very simple. Lawyer An has never drunk the so-called instant drink. He has always been a person who pursues a refined life.
Therefore,
Even after Bai Yingying changed the coffee,
He couldn't tell either.
A police car stopped at the door of the bookstore.
The brake sound was so harsh that it was simply outrageous.
Lawyer An stood up suddenly and saw Lao Zhang walking in hurriedly.
"What's wrong?" Lawyer An asked.
Although he looked down on Lao Zhang's ability, even now he still believed that it was an emotional and unprofitable deal for the boss to make Lao Zhang one of the five ghost messengers under his command.
But he still recognized Lao Zhang's character and his own calmness. Even when he was sacrificing himself, he did not seem so panicked.
"Something happened!" Lao Zhang shouted, "Where's the boss?"
Lawyer An reached out and poked the top of his head, saying, "He's taking a nap."
Old Zhang immediately rushed up the stairs, making the sound of "dengdengdeng".
Lawyer An shook his head, wondering what had happened and why he was so anxious
"Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom!"
There was a knock on the bedroom door.
Bai Yingying glanced at the boss and the little girl sleeping beside her.
Get up,
Walked to the door and opened it.
What caught my eye was Old Zhang, who looked anxious.
"Why didn't the boss answer the phone? The first time I called, the service area was out. The second time I called, the phone was turned off. The third time I called, it was shut down because of unpaid bills!"
"this… "
Bai Yingying also didn't know how to explain it.
Because she knew,
With Lao Zhang's experience as a criminal police officer, it was impossible for him not to guess that Zhou Ze had blacklisted his number.
"Hurry up and wake up the boss, something happened."
"No, the boss has ordered that no one is allowed to disturb his sleep!"
Bai Yingying said firmly.
"Hurry up and shout, something really happened, we must wake him up!"
Saying,
Old Zhang walked straight inside, intending to lift Zhou Ze up from the bed.
but,
The next moment,
The one who was lifted up,
It was him, Zhang Yanfeng himself.
Zhang Yanfeng's feet were suspended in the air, shaking constantly.
But Bai Yingying grabbed his collar and lifted it up.
"The boss hates being disturbed when he's resting. No matter how big the problem is, you are not allowed to call him!"
Lao Zhang was really angry and anxious.
He wanted to resist.
But he was no match for Bai Yingying.
He is a relatively weak ghost catcher. Because his soul has never been to hell and received any stimulation, he is considered the weakest ghost catcher.
It is really easy for the female zombie to deal with him. Even the detective's grappling skills may be able to deal with ordinary criminals, but how can they deal with a violent maid zombie
Unrealistic.
Of course, this is also because Lao Zhang has dug too many traps in the past, and every now and then he wants to call Zhou Ze to help him investigate the case. Boss Zhou's lazy nature has long been dissatisfied with this. It's okay once or twice, but if it happens too many times, Boss Zhou will get fed up with it.
"Something happened to the Taoist priest. He was arrested!"
"Hmm?" Bai Yingying was stunned for a moment.
She glanced at Zhou Ze who was still sleeping on the bed.
I thought about Lao Dao again.
After thinking about it,
road:
"If you get caught, then you get caught. It's more important for the boss to sleep."
“… …” Zhang Yanfeng.
“… … ” The Taoist priest who was not at the scene.
Zhang Yanfeng felt that he really couldn't communicate with this female zombie, so he just opened his voice and shouted:
"Something happened!!!"
The little girl sat up from the bed and stared at Lao Zhang with dissatisfaction.
This sister who came last is so unruly!
Zhou Ze also frowned, opened his eyes, and slowly sat up.
"Another case?" Zhou Ze looked at Lao Zhang who was caught by Yingying and asked impatiently.
"The Taoist priest was caught by the task force as a murderer. The situation is very urgent now. The task force has listed him as the biggest suspect!"
Zhou Ze's eyes fixed.
Looking at Lao Zhang with some doubt,
"Are you kidding me?"
People lost contact because of prostitution,
This old Taoist went out for some whoredom and ended up turning himself into a murderer
“I’m not kidding. Besides, there is a lot of evidence pointing to him now. Even I don’t know where all this evidence came from!
Not only in the latest case, the Taoist priest was at the scene, his fingerprints were found on the murder weapon, there were surveillance videos, and even some clues from previous investigations of corpses pointed to the Taoist priest. "
Zhou Ze sat by the bed, looked at Lao Zhang, and asked:
"Were you at the scene when the arrest took place?"
Old Zhang was stunned for a moment.
"waste."
“… …” Lao Zhang.
… … …
In the car, Lao Zhang was driving, while Zhou Ze was sitting in the passenger seat with an indifferent expression.
later,
Sitting there were Bai Yingying and Little Loli;
Lao An drove his car with the little monkey following behind, leaving only Xu Qinglang and Deadpool in the study.
"Don't be impulsive." Zhang Yanfeng hesitated for a moment, but still spoke.
Zhou Ze glanced at Lao Zhang and said, "I don't know the details of the case, and I don't know the scene either. I just want to ask you one question. Do you think that Lao Daohui could be the murderer?"
"I don't believe he is the murderer, but..."
“Then there’s no buts.”
Zhou Ze interrupted Zhang Yanfeng.
"The problem now is that a lot of evidence inexplicably points to him. We must get to the bottom of this matter."
"Investigate, of course we have to investigate, but no matter if anything is found out in the end, I can't let the old Taoist take the blame."
"It won't come to this."
“I hope it won’t come to this.”
Because Lao Zhang was driving a police car, the car entered the police station unimpeded. After getting out of the car, Zhou Ze signaled Bai Yingying and the little Lolita to wait in the car.
He followed Lao Zhang into the police station.
Watching the two of them disappear into the hall,
The little girl poked Bai Yingying's waist with her elbow and said:
"It's rare to see our boss look so serious."
A salted fish suddenly stood up straight. This sense of incongruity was really surprising.
"The boss said that he just hopes everyone is safe and sound." Bai Yingying didn't think much of it. "The boss knows what he should do."
Lawyer An parked his car in front of the police station in the distance.
Reach out and hug the monkey that was jumping around restlessly.
The monkey squeaked.
Waving the plastic toy hammer in his hand,
It looks like he's going to jailbreak!
I've been in jail before, for driving without a license and even for dealing in drugs.
But the monkey knew,
This time things are different.
Very different.
"Don't worry, don't worry, it's okay, it's okay."
Lawyer An was very calm.
"Let's wait and see how things develop next. Come, let your uncle help you check if you have lice."
… …
Lao Zhang walked in front, his face gloomy;
Zhou Ze walked behind with an even gloomier look on his face.
The two walked one after the other in the corridor of the police station, giving off an aura of "no strangers allowed".
"Boss, don't be impulsive. This is a police station. You also said that we ghost officers cannot act recklessly in the agencies of the living world."
"Lao Zhang, let me be frank with you."
"you say."
"I allow you to continue to waver between your identities as a ghost messenger and a criminal policeman, but at this time, I ask you to regard yourself as a ghost messenger."
"I know."
"No, you don't know." Zhou Ze put his hand on Lao Zhang's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "It's impossible for the old Taoist to kill someone."
"Yes, I think so."
"So, this matter is very simple. Either someone wants to mess with him on purpose, or someone wants to use him to mess with me!"
Zhou Ze gritted his teeth. Although he didn't know what was going on behind the scenes, he instinctively sensed a sense of crisis.
"If someone wants to punish me, then my ghost messengers and the people in the bookstore, including you, will not be spared.
I am not you. I am a selfish person. I will not willingly sacrifice myself. You understand this."
… …
"Captain, the prisoner has just been interrogated and is being taken to the detention center."
"Bring it up again, I have something else to ask."
"Okay, Captain."
Zhou Ze and Lao Zhang sat in the interrogation room together.
This is against the rules.
It's very against the rules.
It can be imagined that at this time, Lao Zhang really did provide a lot of convenience.
He is not a person who does not know how to adapt. As long as it does not harm society or make mistakes in fundamental principles, he still knows what it means to adapt to local conditions.
Zhou Ze closed his eyes.
The left hand twirls the pen,
How long has it been peaceful? Something's coming up again.
After the last time when Xu Qinglang's master suddenly appeared and almost slaughtered everyone in the bookstore,
Zhou Ze is extremely sensitive to this kind of thing now.
only,
Now, I am very helpless.
He still doesn't understand the reason behind this incident.
Is it aimed at the old Taoist himself
It's still directed at him, Zhou Ze.
If it is the former, the problem can still be controlled and solved.
If it's the latter...
Zhou Ze took a deep breath.
The speed of turning the pen in my hand has also been increased.
He remembered when Shabi sealed the consciousness in his body,
That consciousness once screamed,
He said that he would wait and see how long it would take, then he would have to go and break the seal himself and seek help from his power.
My mind keeps spinning.
The Taoist priest was escorted here by the police, sat on the interrogation chair and was handcuffed.
Zhou Ze slowly opened his eyes.
Next,
He was touched by the old Taoist's messy appearance and cloudy eyes.
I was shocked!
The pen in my hand stopped moving for a moment.
Zhou Ze's body also slowly leaned forward.
Old Dao,
How did it become like this!
