The sound of footsteps echoing in the office was slow and strange, as if every step was taken with extreme caution. What terrified me was that the sound came not from the front, but from behind. I turned around in a hurry, stepped back with my hands and feet, and shrunk under the desk. Although this is not necessarily safe, there is finally a sense of self-comforting security.
The strange footsteps are getting closer, but if you listen carefully, you find that it seems to be from another room. Could it be that the other party is coming down from the second floor? Just when I was slightly comforted by this, a cold female voice sounded: "Who is it?" Then the whole office was lit up.
After a long period of darkness and seeing the light in an instant, it often takes more time to adapt. At this moment, although the eyes are bright, I still can't see anything, so I have to close my eyes and wait. I can wait quietly, but the other person can't, she's obviously more nervous than me. In just a moment, she came to the desk and shouted coldly: "Who are you, come out! Or I'll shoot!" She probably regarded me as a thief.
In order to avoid getting a few "peanuts" innocently, I hurriedly shouted: "Zodie, it's me." Although my eyes haven't gotten used to it yet, I can already recognize the person I'm looking for just by the sound. - Flower purple butterfly.
My eyes finally got used to the light, but what happened next made me feel very embarrassed, because I had to get out under the table awkwardly in front of Zidie. What I never expected was that there would be more useless and embarrassing things waiting for me after that.
"Mu Shenyu! How did you hide under the table?" Zi Die in a police uniform looked at me in surprise. Maybe because she didn't react for a while, her pistol was still pointed at my head.
Although it's only been three months, the cute person in front of me is obviously more mature than before, perhaps because of the change in the environment! After all, now she is no longer a seedling under the protection of her father, but a deputy director who can act on her own.
I didn't want to tell her directly, I hid under the table because I was afraid, and immediately changed the subject: "You're ashamed to say, I'm not familiar with the way of life when I came here, so it's fine if you don't come to meet me, I'll give it to you. You even turned off your phone when you called me, so I wanted to find you in the dark. Now, I finally found you, but you actually wanted to kill someone!" As she spoke, she pointed the 54 in her hand at my forehead. The pistol moved slightly.
"What are you afraid of, the bullets are still in the holster, just to scare you." She put the pistol back in the holster around her waist and covered it with her coat, then took out her mobile phone to check, and patted herself immediately. On his forehead: "Oh, I didn't notice the lack of electricity. I'm really busy these days. However, even if you want to find me, you don't need to go to the bottom of the table, right?" .
Just when I was thinking about how to divert the topic again, she suddenly exclaimed: "Wow! How did you fall down?" Then she walked quickly to the place where I was held down by the "zombie" just now.
I looked there and almost fainted on the spot. The "zombie" that scared me to death just now turned out to be a bronze statue of Chairman Mao!
She went to the bronze statue and tried to lift it up, but she couldn't lift it with all her strength. When I saw this, I hurriedly stepped forward to help and helped the bronze statue up with her. After putting the statue back in place, she asked me, "What the hell are you doing here? I was looking at the files on the second floor, and I heard the tinkling downstairs, I thought it was the thief who didn't have long eyes and ran here. come!"
"I haven't had dinner yet, won't you let me wait until dawn with an empty stomach?" I quickly moved the topic.
"If you don't tell me, I don't remember that I didn't eat dinner..." She hesitated for a while and then said, "You haven't told me what happened just now?"
"The weather is so nice today, so let's go for a drive now, okay?" I pretended to be crazy and went out.
"Stop for me! If you don't make it clear, don't even think about leaving." She asked with a three-point seriousness and seven-point laughter, and immediately caught up to me and held me back.
She was pulling so hard that I fell on top of her before I could stand still. She probably didn't expect this to happen. She hugged me like a natural reaction, and her focus was on her upper body. As a result, of course, I threw her down, and the two fell to the ground together.
The aroma of lavender mixed with the fragrance of women's body quietly penetrated into the nasal cavity, and I couldn't help but feel sore and soft.
She didn't push me away immediately, didn't speak, just lay quietly under me. The long silence between the two made the atmosphere extremely awkward, but I was happy to enjoy the embarrassment at this moment, and I think she thought the same, at least she didn't take the initiative to destroy this awkward silence.
Although I enjoyed the feeling of hugging with a beautiful woman, I couldn't just hold her down like this until dawn, so I reluctantly left her soft and warm body, got up and smirked: "I'm dizzy with hunger, Not even standing."
She stood up and lightly patted the dust off the police uniform, her eyes deliberately avoiding mine, her face reddened and she said, "Let's go get some food first, just to wash the dust for you."
In order to make the atmosphere less embarrassing, I deliberately said to her with a hippie smile: "Then are you going to take me there to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas? There should be a lot of game here, pangolins, owls, civet cats and so on."
"You think this is a resort! What kind of game is there? Even if there is, you won't be allowed to eat it. An owl will be enough to punish you for three months' wages." She raised her hand and motioned me to go with her, " Come, come home with me, Miss Ben will cook for you!"
I continued to stand and didn't follow her. She took a few steps and turned around and found that I was still there, and asked suspiciously, "What's the matter, are you not hungry now?"
I said seriously, "I'm thinking about something."
"What's the matter?" She looked even more puzzled.
"Is there a hospital there?" I looked embarrassed.
"There are no big hospitals, only health stations." She stepped forward and asked with concern: "What's wrong? Do you feel uncomfortable there?"
I still had a serious look on my face: "I don't feel uncomfortable now, but it's hard to say after eating the food you made."
"You're courting death!" Her pink fist landed on my chest, and the previous embarrassment was swept away.
The police quarters are right behind the police station, so we walked right there. As I passed the empty duty room, I casually asked her, "Is there no one on duty here at night?"
She sighed before answering: "Yes, yes, but I went fishing. Since the day I was transferred, I haven't seen anyone on duty at night."
"No, this is AWOL, how did you become the deputy director?" I asked in a weird way.
She sighed again, and complained to me: "You should have seen it when you came here. This place is even more remote than Chongyuan County. Most of the young people in the county go to the provincial capital to wait for the economic development to get better. Working in the local area, all the people who stay behind are the old, weak, women and children, and they rarely make big troubles on weekdays. Even if there is a small problem, they usually find the village chief to solve it, and often there is no one for ten days and a half months. Come and report the case. No one came to report the case during the day, and even more so at night, so the night shift list is basically just a pretense, no matter who it is, they will go home after signing in. The director also turned a blind eye to this. One eye, what opinion can I, a newly arrived deputy director, have?"
From her eyes, I can see an indescribable grievance. With her stubborn character, she should suffer a lot here. I think there are probably not many people in the police station who obey her. Even though she has the title of deputy director, she is actually just a commander without soldiers. Maybe that's why she asked me to help!
Her sullen appearance is really distressing, so I told her some interesting things along the way, hoping to make her happy. I'm good at talking about Dashan. When she came to the door of the dormitory, she couldn't stop laughing. In fact, I didn't say anything else, just told her some embarrassing things about Viagra. However, when she told me that the police quarters were in front of me, it was my turn to shut up.
This poverty-stricken county is really not built. The police quarters are built like thatched huts. They are all brick houses with only one floor. It feels like it will leak when it rains, and if a plane flies overhead, it may collapse. Although Chongyuan County, where Zi Die worked before, was also a poor place, the treatment was not so bad. This time, she was really wronged. I thought she was complaining about me, but in fact she didn't take it seriously, maybe she's used to it.
After following her into the house, I found that although the house was equally simple, it had an elegant and comfortable feeling, perhaps because of the fragrance she left behind! Although I felt comfortable, it didn't fill my stomach. My stomach was playing "The March of the Volunteers" enthusiastically, so I urged her to get something to eat.
She said coquettishly, "Aren't you afraid that eating what I made will make you uncomfortable?"
"Dead with a peony flower, it's romantic to be a ghost!" Although I was smiling, what I thought in my heart was that it is better to be a hungry ghost than to be a hungry ghost.
She smiled coquettishly and walked into the kitchen. After about three minutes, she came out with two bowls of steaming things. I frowned when I saw it: "What are you going to give me to eat?"
Her answer was simple and straightforward: "Instant noodles."
"Isn't it, you said that cooking by yourself is to make instant noodles for me?"
"If you're not satisfied, you can do it yourself! There's no gas here, so you have to use firewood to cook! And I've never cooked so much since I grew up, so it's already a blessing for you to be able to make a bowl of instant noodles for you!" She was a little angry, but It's nice to be angry too.
"Then you usually only eat like this?" I asked pitifully.
"We can usually eat in the cafeteria, but now there will be someone cooking for us in the cafeteria at this time." She rolled my eyes at me and said, "If you don't want to eat it, forget it." After that, she wanted to take away the instant noodles.
I hurriedly grabbed the bowl and said, "Eat, eat, and eat, this is the instant noodles that Miss Hua made by herself. You can't buy it if you have money." In such a backcountry, if you want to buy a bag of instant noodles, you can definitely buy it if you have money. , or fill your stomach first.
She didn't say anything but just smiled and sat next to me eating noodles with me.
After filling my stomach, it was time to talk about business, I lit a cigarette, and while enjoying the happiness of the after-dinner cigarette, I asked her: "Didn't you just say that this place is very peaceful, then why did you come to me? What's the matter?"
"Maybe it's because of my bad luck. It was really peaceful here, but a strange case happened when I took office." Although she said she was unlucky, her winning expression let me know that she felt this A good thing for her.
"What are the details?" I asked.
"This case has to start half a month ago..." She seriously told me what she had learned—
The case happened in Qianwen Village in this county. There was an old woman named Liu Simei in the village. She was 73 years old this year. The villagers called her Siwa. Her husband, Gao Yao, passed away ten years ago. She has five children, three of whom live in Qianwen Village, and the other two who have been away for a long time and rarely come back.
The fourth wife has been in poor health in recent years, and passed away about half a month ago. According to the custom, after she died, her children had to go to her home to watch the spirit for her, but because the fifth daughter, Gao Shun, was not in good health, she was not able to come. Only the other four children kept the spirit that night.
Strange things started in the middle of the night.
Si Po's eldest son is the head of Qianwen Village, named Gao Qiang. According to him, on the night of the wake, the body of the fourth woman was originally lying quietly in the room, but suddenly came alive in the middle of the night, jumped up and rushed to the hall. He and his younger brother and sister were half dead when they saw the fourth woman rushing out, because the fourth woman's face had a terrible change. The right side of the face was the same as before, but the left side turned out to be like a cat's face.
At that time, a few of them were petrified, and the fourth wife rushed out of the house before they could react. By the time they came back to their senses, the fourth woman had disappeared.
The dead person suddenly jumped up and was able to walk around, just hearing about it was scary enough. However, although the matter was very terrifying, the fourth woman was their mother after all, so the next day Gao Qiang summoned the villagers to help and searched for the fourth woman everywhere. However, after searching for three days in a row, she could not find her whereabouts.
They searched almost all the places nearby, but they couldn't find the fourth woman, so they had to give up. Although they regretted not being able to find their mother's whereabouts, the fourth woman was in her seventies and her health was not very good before that. Even if she survived that night, she probably wouldn't have survived the next three days. .
Everyone thought that the matter of the fourth wife was over, and her children continued to hold funerals for her as usual. However, on the night of the first seven days of the fourth woman, strange things happened again.
That night, the fourth wife's children burned coins and offerings for her at her house. In the middle of the night, there was nothing unusual, but in the middle of the night, something terrible happened.
At that time, Shi Feifei, the granddaughter of the fourth wife, was burning coins outside the door, while Gao Qiang and others were sitting in the hall. According to Gao Qiang, the third child, Gao Xian, was the first to notice the abnormality. They were gossiping at that time, and Gao Xian suddenly pointed at the window and screamed: "Mother is back, mother is back!"
After everyone heard it, they looked at the window together, and they really saw the fourth woman standing outside the window. Gao Qiang said that the faces of the fourth woman were still half-human and half-cat at that time, which was very scary, and showed them a weird smile, which shocked them all. They were stunned for a while, and when they came back to their senses, the fourth woman had disappeared...
Just as Zidie was talking about the weirdness, her mobile phone that was charging on the table suddenly rang, which startled us. I looked at my watch, the time was approaching midnight. In such a remote mountain village, it was already very late. If it wasn't an urgent matter, no one would have called her.
What the hell happened
