Lawyer An held the token in his hand, rubbed it gently with his fingers, then looked back at the cute girl beside him, smiled, and reached out to flick her face gently.
Then, Lawyer An threw the token under the barbecue grill.
He stood up, carried the girl, and walked downstairs.
Zhou Ze, Yingying and Xu Qinglang were already waiting at the door. The paper money had been burned, and what happened in this homestay would have nothing to do with them.
In fact, there was no direct relationship. They had just finished their work and came here to rest. Who knew they would encounter such a thing.
We are not a pretentious person, so we won't take all the blame on ourselves.
Lawyer An sent the girl to a corner of the ancient city, took the girl's cell phone and called the police. Soon, the police from the ancient city arrived. After watching them find the girl, Lawyer An walked back and got in the car.
In the SUV, Zhou Ze Yingying and Xu Qinglang were sitting in the back. The woman in the rider's uniform was sitting in the passenger seat. She gave directions while Lawyer An drove.
In fact, the distance is not far, even much closer than everyone imagines.
Just less than ten kilometers away from the ancient city, there is a river. The river is said to flow down from the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain and is formed by melted snow on the mountain.
"The entrance is at the bottom of the river, and there is a gap that an adult cannot fit through."
The woman introduced herself in the car before. Her name is Qin Youlan and she is from Lijiang. However, she is not Naxi, but Han.
Of course, since the person is dead and has become a ghost, there is no point in worrying about his clan.
After seeing Qin Youlan's body position stretching that could beat yoga teachers and dance teachers in seconds,
Zhou Ze didn't ask such an idiotic question as why you were able to get in.
Instead, he looked at Yingying.
"How is your recovery?"
"It's alright, boss."
Yingying understood, walked to the river, took off her coat, asked Qin Youlan to point out the approximate location, and then jumped directly into the river.
Soon a series of bubbles appeared on the surface of the water, caused by Yingying widening the entrance below.
Zhou Ze squatted by the river, smoking a cigarette.
Lawyer An and Zhou Ze were leaning against each other. He nudged Zhou Ze lightly with his elbow, and Zhou Ze staggered and fell to the ground.
“… …” Lawyer An.
Zhou Ze got up again and looked at Lawyer An.
Lawyer An nodded, his eyes twinkling.
Zhou Ze also nodded.
Lawyer An nodded meaningfully again.
Zhou Ze took a deep breath and showed an expression that was exactly as expected.
Lawyer An let out a long sigh, seeming very satisfied with this kind of tacit understanding.
After a while,
Zhou Ze took out his cell phone.
After a while, Lawyer An felt his phone vibrate. He took it out and saw a WeChat message from Zhou Zegang:
“Just type it out.”
It turns out that they were just two idiots performing for each other before.
"Someone brought a police chief token to the B&B. It was no accident that Qin Youlan was located here."
If it's not an accident, then it's designed.
After reading this string of text,
Zhou Ze finally determined that the cause of this incident was not because he did not "turn off the phone", but because someone was planning behind the scenes.
even,
Including himself and others who have now come to the river and are preparing to go to the tomb, it is also within that person's expectations.
This feeling of being plotted against was really unpleasant, and it was obvious that the other person was using me and others as tools.
Zhou Ze turned around again, glanced at Qin Youlan who was sitting there, and frowned slightly.
"She probably doesn't know it herself."
Lawyer An sent me a WeChat message.
Zhou Ze's finger stayed on the phone screen for a while and did not respond.
Lawyer An seemed to understand what Zhou Ze meant, and turned his head to glance at Qin Youlan who was sitting there.
That woman had restrictions imposed by him on her, so it was impossible for her to have so much fun, right
Twenty minutes later, Yingying surfaced.
"Boss, it's been cleaned up. It's just a little narrow at the entrance, but it's not narrow as you go in. I followed your instructions and didn't go in too deep."
Zhou Ze nodded and said nothing more.
Because you don't know what to say.
Although Yingying had just entered the water and had been busy in the cold river for so long,
But she is different from ordinary girls after all.
There's no need to even say those nonsense words like drinking more hot water and keeping warm.
Boss Zhou wanted to show off, but he didn't have the chance.
"Are you going down?" Lawyer An asked.
Zhou Ze shook his head.
Zhou Ze would rather not go down without solving the trouble behind.
People die for money and birds die for food. If he could find a way to wake up Tie Hanhan in order to get more green stones, Zhou Ze would take the risk and accept it.
But if he was being schemed against and was doing things that would make wedding dresses for others, Boss Zhou really didn't have such a high level of awareness.
"Anyway, the tomb is here and we can't escape, so there's no rush." After saying that, Zhou Ze stood up and looked at Qin Youlan who was sitting over there. "Take advantage of now to investigate Captain Chen's affairs. I remember that when I was in Tongcheng before, a captain used the captain's token to summon nearby ghost officials. So I'll try and see if I can call a few more ghost officials from Lijiang or nearby to come over. Let's figure this out carefully.
Go talk to Qin Youlan again and ask her about what happened in more detail."
"OK."
Lawyer An agreed with Zhou Ze's choice, believing that it is better to be safe than sorry.
"Aren't you going down?" Xu Qinglang, who was standing next to him, had been waiting for a long time. "If you're not going down, I'll move the food from the car and treat it as a picnic."
"I'm not hungry." Zhou Ze shook his head, picked up his token and fumbled around for a few times.
Lawyer An stood up and walked towards Qin Youlan.
But at this moment,
Qin Youlan, who was sitting there, suddenly trembled.
Then she crawled on the ground in extreme pain, with veins exposed on her face, looking extremely terrifying.
"ah!!!!"
She cried out in pain,
With both hands, I scratched vigorously on the gravel ground.
Lift your head,
He stared at Zhou Ze and Lawyer An with pleading eyes.
"Damn it, there are still restrictions left by someone else on her!"
Lawyer An immediately stepped forward and prepared to check on her situation.
But after taking two steps,
Lawyer An's pupils suddenly shrank.
Zhou Ze also sensed something was wrong and reacted faster than Lawyer An. He stretched out his hand forward and a barrier made of black mist immediately appeared, blocking himself and the people around him behind.
"Bang!"
Qin Youlan's body exploded like a balloon that was inflated.
Blood splattered,
The blood that splashed onto the black mist immediately made a "sizzling" sound.
The blood that splashed to other places melted a lot of sand and stones, and green smoke was everywhere on the ground.
immediately,
Zhou Ze took away the black fog.
When I looked back at where Qin Youlan was before,
All that could be seen was a human-shaped burnt mark on the ground.
A ghost messenger died just like that. Not only did his body explode, but his soul was not spared either.
The scene was somewhat quiet.
Although Zhou Ze himself had killed many ghost messengers, he either had a legitimate reason or relied on his special ghost messenger certificate to act more leniently and avoid detection and punishment from the underworld.
But the ghost catcher is a ghost catcher after all, representing the dignity of the underworld. It is still surprising that he was "destroyed" just like that.
"Is that all?" Lawyer An walked to the burn marks and rubbed the black ash with the sole of his shoe.
“The people behind the scenes are more decisive than we thought.”
Zhou Ze looked around.
It seems that
This Qin Youlan should know something.
The so-called statements and events about the agreement with Captain Chen may not be completely tenable.
The most important thing is that the person who really pushed this matter behind the scenes was not only decisive, but also ruthless, even a little unscrupulous.
Those ordinary people who were killed in the B&B,
Killing a ghost messenger in broad daylight,
This is to disregard the dignity of both the living world and the underworld.
Is it so rampant
"What should we do next?" Xu Qinglang asked.
"Let's set up the tent and camp here first." Zhou Ze pointed to the trace of human-shaped ashes and said, "Clean this place up."
After saying that, Zhou Ze walked to the river again and sat down.
It was dark, but the stars were beautiful.
Lawyer An walked over and squatted down as well.
"Has the notice been sent?" Lawyer An asked.
Zhou Ze shook his head.
“That’s right. That guy is so decisive. Even if we call all the local small fish and shrimps, we won’t be able to find anything.
But there's nothing we can do. Although we were outside the border before, the noise we made was indeed loud. Boss, you led tens of thousands of soldiers for two days and two nights. People nearby who are paying attention will definitely notice something.
But to have arranged for someone to come and plot against us in such a short time is really..."
Speaking of which,
Lawyer An was stunned for a moment.
"Have you thought about it?" Zhou Ze asked.
Lawyer An nodded with a somewhat grim look on his face.
Zhou Ze twitched the corner of his mouth.
With my fingernails I grasped a pebble in front of me.
Cut into pieces in an instant,
At the same time, he said in an angry tone:
“Our trip to Lijiang was not planned in advance, we decided to come here on a whim.
We may also go to Dali or Lugu Lake. There are so many tourist attractions in Yunnan.
Since this matter was planned by someone else, how could such a coincidence happen?"
Saying,
Zhou Ze picked up another stone and threw it into the river.
"Snap! Snap! Snap! Snap!"
Four balls of water were thrown into the water.
"I guess there is no such thing as the Tomb of the Wooden King. The stone was not brought out by Qin Youlan from the tomb. It was just a bait to lure us in."
“Huh…”
Lawyer An let out a breath and did not refute.
"First, the matter of Mrs. Bai in the bookstore has not been thoroughly investigated. I came to Lijiang to take a break, and someone inexplicably made plans for me. It's so annoying."
"But at least it proves one thing, that is, the person who plotted against us has that green stone in his hand, otherwise Qin Youlan would not be able to get it."
"But can we find him?" Zhou Ze asked back.
"With our abilities, we really can't find him. Since the other party is so decisive in using the hidden ban to kill him directly, it means that he doesn't want us to find out who he is."
"Then what?"
"But he made a mistake." Lawyer An pointed to the sole of his shoe, where Hei Hui was standing. "A ghost messenger killed people without hesitation. There were so many lives in the B&B, but he killed them without hesitation.
Boss, you are the chief constable now, and you have the authority to report anything to the underworld.
It would be a waste not to take advantage of public benefits.
Report to the underworld.
Let the underworld send an inspector to investigate.
I don't believe it. A genuine inspector comes here.
That guy can still hide!"
