"We couldn't find anything. He was drunk and unconscious. However, we found a lot of posters of this person in his house."

Yueya handed the poster to Lao Zhang.

"Which celebrity or actor is it?"

Lao Zhang shook his head. "He's not a star, nor an actor. He's the president of a new therapy association. He's very famous in this area and often appears in newspapers and on TV.

There are banners of his ads behind bus stops, and he has also helped build hundreds of public toilets.

But it has nothing to do with the entertainment industry."

"New treatment, what new treatment?"

“It seems to be a magnet, doing magnet therapy. I remember his point of view is that the human body has its own magnetic field, and nature also has its own magnetic field.

The reason why people get sick is because the magnetic field of their own body is disordered and in conflict with nature.

Then, based on the principle of natural selection and survival of the fittest, the idea that heaven and earth are not benevolent and treat all things as straw dogs was added.

Probably,

If your own magnetic field conflicts with the magnetic field of nature,

Then nature will not allow you to continue to exist.

They will start to oppress you, make you sick, give you a terminal illness, and kill you.

Therefore, he advocates the use of magnet therapy to re-arrange one's own magnetic field and return it to a frequency that is consistent with nature, and then supplemented with drug treatment, it will be twice as effective with half the effort."

"It sounds quite fantastic."

“In fact, it’s not so mysterious. This association has its own hospital, which is located at the junction of Tongcheng and Yangzhou, but it is also within the territory of Tongcheng.

Moreover, his ideas incorporate many theories from modern physics, ancient Chinese philosophy, modern medicine, etc.”

“But I still think it’s unreliable.”

“It is definitely unreliable. In fact, the relevant departments of his hospital have investigated and audited it, and it is indeed a hospital with formal qualifications and healthy operation.

Western medicine is the main method, supplemented by traditional Chinese medicine. Except that patients have to go to the magnet room to receive magnet treatment every day, other medical activities are legal and compliant. The hospital has never had any medical disputes or medical accidents.

So, the investigation came to nothing because no problems were found.

You can't say their theory is wrong, because it has not been proven, and many massage parlors now offer the "magnet back opening" service.

As long as normal medical treatment is not delayed, doing this in the hospital is like laying a layer of cobblestones in your yard and letting people walk around when they have nothing to do, which can dredge the acupuncture points and be good for the body. There is no problem at all."

"Hey, Officer Zhang, how do you know so much?"

Yueya doesn't believe that if you just "heard about it",

The police officer Zhang in front of me was able to explain the incident in such detail that he even brought out the other person's core theory.

If she didn't know that the other person was a ghost messenger like herself, she might have thought that Lao Zhang was a frequent visitor to the hospital and a believer in this so-called theory.

Lao Zhang shook his head and said, "He is too famous. He can be seen everywhere in local newspapers, on TV, on the radio, and even at street events. So I noticed him and did some research."

“So, you detectives just walk around on the street and investigate whoever you find annoying

So, were those drug addicts caught in Zhaoyang District also investigated and reported by local residents because they suddenly found their faces disgusting after watching them on TV? "

"If he really wanted to study medicine and prove the so-called 'magnet therapy', why would he keep promoting it and building his image in such a high-profile manner

Propaganda has a purpose, and excessive, false and exaggerated propaganda is often used to cover up deeper purposes. "

"Everyone has a little vanity. Everyone wants to be a famous person and be admired by others."

Lao Zhang did not say anything else, but stopped the car at the intersection ahead and pointed to the building in front:

"The second family lives in the building in front. There are five of them. The male owner is missing. The team leader of the machinery factory where the male owner works reported the case."

"Okay, I'll go again, you wait."

Watching Yueya get out of the car and her figure disappear around the corner ahead, Lao Zhang also got out of the car, leaned against the door, and lit a cigarette.

For some reason, his right eyelid kept twitching.

He didn't take it seriously at first. In the past, he would have just complained in his heart that feudal superstition was unreliable.

But the problem is,

His current existence is a product of feudal superstition.

Sometimes Lao Zhang is also very entangled,

How he hoped that he would still be the same Zhang Yanfeng after waking up.

But every morning when I wash up and look at my "young" face in the mirror,

That kind of extravagant hope would be shattered in an instant.

Blow out a smoke ring,

Lao Zhang stretched lazily.

I waited for about half an hour.

Yueya came back with a plastic bag in her hand.

Lao Zhang got into the car, and after Yueya got in, he started the car and drove away.

After reaching another block ahead, Lao Zhang pulled over and asked:

"Are there any results?"

Yueya shook her head. "Nothing happened. His family didn't know where he went. They only said that Wang Deyi knelt down before leaving in front of his wife and parents, saying that he was going to a place where he could get treatment. He also asked his family to promise not to spread the news and that he would never be in danger."

"You didn't say where to go?"

"No, his family really didn't know. I think the other missing persons should have explained to their family members in this way. Moreover, it seems that before Wang Deyi left home, he took out most of the family's savings, saying it was a security deposit."

"Does that family still have posters at home?"

“I paid special attention to it, but there wasn’t any.

but,

I found this at their house.”

Yueya opened the plastic bag and found several magnets inside.

"We found it on the bed, one on each side of the bed, and one in the middle under the mattress.

This is like doing magnetic therapy every day while sleeping."

Lao Zhang reached out and fiddled with the magnet in front of him.

Bit her lip.

"Next, are we going to the hospital to investigate?"

"First, don't go."

Old Zhang rubbed his eyebrows with his hand, looking a little tired.

"Why, are you scared? No, you've already died once, what are you afraid of?"

"I need to sort it out, and now that I have a clue, I still want to go through the formal procedures to solve the problem."

"Pedant."

"You said I'm a mascot, so I have to do my job well as a mascot."

"Okay then. I'll go back first and report to the boss."

Yueya opened the car door and got out.

"Shall I take you back?"

"Bar

It's so reluctant. I can take a taxi back by myself. It's not far anyway, and I can also visit the gold and silver shop on the way."

Yueya waved her hand and turned away.

Lao Zhang sat in the car for a while, smoked a cigarette, started the car again, and drove back to the police station.

At this time, it was already evening. Lao Zhang parked the car and was about to walk into the police station building when a female police officer came towards him.

"You didn't eat again?"

"Oh, I forgot."

Old Zhang really forgot. He was thinking during the day that since Xu Qinglang was back, he could go to the bookstore and have dinner.

"I haven't eaten either. Let's go to the cafeteria together."

Officer Chen grabbed Lao Zhang's wrist and took him to the cafeteria.

Lao Zhang's face actually turned red.

Since he divorced his wife, he has not had any intimate contact with other members of the opposite sex outside of work.

After walking a few steps, Lao Zhang subconsciously shook off the wrist that was held by Officer Chen. Many colleagues in the police station saw this scene on the way, but everyone pretended not to see it.

Although Lao Zhang has only been in the police station for half a year, he is efficient and resolute in his work. However, Officer Chen beside him has a rank of...

I got my meal in the cafeteria.

The two sat opposite each other.

Lao Zhang secretly took out the red spider lily oral liquid and drank it. His action was quick and secretive, but he was still discovered by Officer Chen.

"What are you drinking?"

"Nutritional oral solution."

"Isn't it that women tend to drink more?"

"I feel my hair is graying a little too fast recently, so I drink some to try."

"Um."

Officer Chen didn't ask any more questions, and the two of them ate in silence.

When the meal was almost over, Officer Chen took out his cell phone and said, "My colleague in the department told me that you checked the information of that magnetic therapy hospital?"

Old Zhang put down his chopsticks, looked at Officer Chen with some surprise, nodded, then picked up the soup bowl and gulped down the soup.

"Don't touch that hospital for now."

"What's the meaning?"

Lao Zhang took out a napkin from the table and wiped his mouth.

"Are you giving me orders?"

"I am not ordering you as your superior."

"What does that mean?"

“It’s boring.”

“I’m a police officer.”

"You don't need to keep repeating this. You are wearing a police uniform now."

"No, I have to repeat myself. Otherwise, not only others but even I will forget it."

Officer Chen smiled, lowered his head, and swiped the screen of his mobile phone.

"As you wish."

Lao Zhang stood up and asked in a casual manner:

"Did someone greet you?"

"You've watched too much In the Name of People."

"Actually, I'm not targeting that hospital."

"I know, you're repeating it again."

"I'm a policeman."

"well… "

"You know, it's like one day I dreamed that I was dead, and when I woke up, I suddenly understood something."

"continue."

"I want to live purely for the badge on my hat."

"Should I applaud your words and sentiments?"

“You’re welcome.”

Lao Zhang waved to Officer Chen.

"I have something else to do, so I'll go back to the office first."

When Lao Zhang's back disappeared at the entrance of the cafeteria,

Officer Chen put down his phone silently.

He whispered to himself:

“You’re a police officer, but you’re also a… mascot.”
