Chu Li's actions were quick, and the matter of a senior high school student asking for leave for a week was settled the next day.
So Tang Xi had no choice but to face Yu Mingfan's death gaze, and ran to the City Bureau's Serious Crime Squad early in the morning to report.
After all, it is what I promised, and it must be completed. As long as the action is fast enough, it may not take a week. Just to see what the level of special departments in this world is.
This time, Chu Li came out to pick her up in person, and he also took the internal personnel passage, and handed her a certificate: "Consultant certificate, keep it."
Tang Xi opened it and looked at it. She had never taken this kind of certificate before. When cooperating with the police, her name was her signboard, and she could get it done with just one phone call. But this certificate looks decent, and it even has her photo on it. , It seems to be the one-inch photo of her going through the transfer procedures. She shook the ID and said with a smile, "Really?"
"Do I dare to issue a false certificate?" Chu Li said with black lines, "It is indeed impossible for the bureau to approve a high school student as a police consultant, but the serious crime team itself does have quotas for hiring consultants, but the consultant's salary is from the funds. out—you probably don't care about that."
"This is what you mean by asking me to work for nothing." Tang Xi laughed angrily.
"Funds are tight." Chu Li was very calm.
Tang Xi rolled her eyes and gave up communicating with him.
"You're right." Chu Li said suddenly, "This case is beyond the capabilities of ordinary people. I can't joke about the lives of my subordinates, so I reported it, but... want me to give up my case. nothing!"
"How many are here?" Tang Xi asked.
"Two, one male and one female." Chu Li paused, and then said, "It feels like it's not as good as you."
"How do you judge this?" Tang Xi was surprised.
"When you dealt with the infant spirit that night, even if it wasn't directed at me, your aura was stronger than the feeling they used to suppress me." Chu Li said indifferently, "Regardless of your ability to deal with that kind of thing, If I fight with them, I don't know who will win."
"That's natural." Tang Xi was not surprised. "Seventy percent of the so-called celestial masters in this world are liars. Of the remaining 30 percent true, more than half of them may be good at dealing with demons and ghosts, but they really encounter vicious criminals." , may not be comparable to ordinary criminal police."
"But you are very good at fighting, whether it's fighting people or ghosts." Chu Li said.
"Otherwise, can you invite me as a consultant?" Tang Xi raised an eyebrow.
"That's right." Chu Li smiled, and pushed open the door of the small conference room, "Everyone is here, let's start the meeting."
There were three other people in the meeting room. The first one was a middle-aged man with a slightly bald head. Tang Xi had seen it on the news. He was Director Zhao of the Municipal Bureau. The other man and woman should be sent by the special department that Chu Li mentioned. The two are not very old, they look about twenty-five or sixteen, and their brows are five points similar, which shows that they should be related by blood.
"Xiao Chu, why did you bring all the family members here?" Zhao Ju asked in a daze.
"Not family members." Chu Li closed the door of the meeting room with his backhand, and replied, "Tang Xi, the consultant of the serious crime team."
"..." The three people in the conference room couldn't help looking at each other.
"Xiao Chu, when... did you hire a consultant?" Director Zhao asked.
"Last night." Chu Li shrugged, waved his hands, motioned Tang Xi to sit beside him, and introduced, "You should recognize Director Zhao. Those two are the police officers sent by the higher authorities to assist the case, Fang Tianchen and Fang Tianyun."
Tang Xi nodded, her expression remained calm and graceful.
"Captain Chu, this case is very dangerous. It is already very dangerous to involve an ordinary person like you. If there is one more person, we will not be able to protect it." Fang Tianchen said with an ugly face.
"I'm not an ordinary person." Chu Li raised his eyes, neither humble nor overbearing, "I'm a criminal police officer. Since the day I became a criminal police officer, I have never been afraid of death."
"Shut up." Tang Xi didn't deny that when he heard the sentence "I'm a criminal policeman", his heart moved a little, and he interrupted coldly, "With me here, if you still die, will you pretend that I don't exist?"
Chu Li shrugged and closed his mouth tactfully.
"Little girl, are you from the Taoist sect?" Fang Tianyun chuckled.
"In the world of mystical arts, those who have a master's inheritance are respected, and those who don't have a master's inheritance are respected. When will it be your turn to open your mouth and keep your mouth shut, little girl." Tang Xi looked directly at her without any hesitation.
Fang Tianyun's face darkened immediately, but she was speechless.
Because what Tang Xi said was indeed true.
Of course, she didn't think that the girl who should be still in school in front of her was "the strongest is respected", she just murmured to herself, could this be the closed disciple or granddaughter of some senior elder
"Xiao Chu, don't mess around." Director Zhao couldn't help wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Sitting in this position, of course he knows the inside story of some "special departments", but he is a competent person... Even if Chu Li brought an old Taoist priest today to say that he is a consultant, he would just smile, but a teenage Girl, she looks thin and timid, it's kind of... indescribable.
"Bureau Zhao, she is the consultant I invited, and she complies with the rules and procedures of the Serious Crime Squad." Chu Li said in a deep voice, "If something goes wrong with her, I am willing to bear all joint and several responsibilities."
"..." Zhao Ju was dumbfounded, and had no choice but to swallow the rest of the words.
"Forget it, let's start." Fang Tianchen said impatiently.
"Let's start the meeting." Director Zhao said, turning on the projector.
Although there were only five people in the conference room, it looked very empty, but when the picture appeared on the screen, everyone cast their eyes over it.
It was a group of comparison photos of corpses, there were six groups in total, two for each group, the one on the left was fresh as if it had just died, and the one on the right was described as horrific.
"So much?" Chu Li raised his eyebrows.
"So, this case was not first discovered by the Serious Crime Squad. We have been following up on it since a year ago." Fang Tianyun said unhappily.
"It's been a year and I haven't got a clue, but there are three more victims. In the end, the suspect was arrested by our serious crime team." Chu Li pointed out the facts.
"You!" Fang Tianyun was furious, her pretty eyebrows were furrowed, and her chest couldn't stop heaving.
She was obviously doing it for the other party's benefit. The serious crime team was fighting wits and bravery with vicious gangsters every day. It's not that she didn't have admiration. However, isn't it because of this admiration that she didn't want him to be involved in this kind of case? After all, no matter how skilled a criminal policeman is, he is just an ordinary person, completely powerless in front of demons and ghosts.
There is a feeling of kindness feeding the liver and lungs of the donkey.
"And then this man." Fang Tianchen moved his hand, and two pictures changed on the screen.
On the left is a man in his thirties. Behind him is a certain bus station. He has an ordinary face, neither handsome nor ugly. The one on the right is much more handsome and handsome, with a pair of peach blossom eyes looking forward to make love, especially the kind that girls like.
"According to the investigation, the victim broke up with her boyfriend before she disappeared." Fang Tianchen continued, "And those so-called boyfriends and fiancés - after in-depth investigation, they all used various means to fabricate false identities. For example, the fiance of the fifth victim Lu Meihua in Jiangbei City did not own the restaurant at all. He just gave 20,000 yuan to the manager on duty that day, as an excuse to save face in front of a female classmate whom he had not seen for many years. The two acted together. It's a play. As for the parents, they are two 28-tier small-timers who rely on group acting to make a living on the set. There are many such people and they provide comprehensive services. "
Chu Li listened to his words, but his eyes fell on the screen, his eyes narrowed, and he suddenly said: "These two men are the same person, right? They have good makeup skills."
"Captain Chu's vision is poisonous." Fang Tianchen smiled, "We still managed to capture the surveillance footage of two frontal faces, and we used cranial imaging technology to confirm that they belonged to the same person."
"If they are separated, I'm afraid they won't pay attention." Chu Li said indifferently, "However, when compared together, the overlap of the facial features is still obvious. The police do not look at the appearance of the suspect to identify the suspect, but look at the details of the facial features, which is similar to skull imaging technology. .”
Fang Tianchen nodded, and his tone improved a lot: "We have reason to infer that from the beginning to the end, these boyfriends are all pretending to be the same person, and he didn't kill people indiscriminately, but was purposefully looking for a specific woman It’s just that the identities, personalities, ages, economic conditions, and educational levels of these victims are not small, and there is no overlap in their resumes, and no commonality has been found so far.”
Tang Xi lowered her head and flipped through the written materials in front of her, and suddenly said, "Although the birthdays of these victims are different, they are very close to each other—how about the lunar calendar?"
"We checked this kind of thing at the first time." Fang Tianyun said, "It's not the same day."
Tang Xi frowned, she was really not good at reckoning, so she simply took out her mobile phone, opened the perpetual calendar, and looked it up directly.
"As I said, their birthdays don't overlap." Fang Tianyun said impatiently.
"Yes." Tang Xi only answered with one word.
"What?" Fang Tianyun was stunned.
Tang Xi wrote quickly, and copied the content in a blink of an eye. With a push, the A4 paper slid to the other side along the smooth desktop.
Fang Tianyun took a look, narrowed her gaze, and blurted out, "Five Elements?"
"The fate of these people, judging from the horoscope, is that the five elements lack water." Tang Xi said.
The brothers and sisters of the Fang family looked at each other in dismay, and their expressions were also ugly.
Bazi and five elements, even ordinary people who don’t understand numerology, will do the calculations when choosing a name for a newborn, and then make up for the name. There are many who lack this and that, and many who have all five elements. All the victims were short of water in the five elements, which is absolutely an abnormal coincidence.
"Continue first." Fang Tianchen coughed dryly.
The slideshow switched to the next picture, which was an aerial shot of a barren mountain.
"We have already interrogated the suspects we caught. The method will not be disclosed, but we guarantee that the content of the question is true." Fang Tianchen said, "According to his account, this is a stronghold of their organization."
"Organization?" Chu Li frowned, "Find people in an organized way, and kill people if they don't find the right one. It seems that their purpose is not simple."
"Indeed." Fang Tianchen said solemnly, "This organization has a strict division of labor, and everyone only knows what he is responsible for. That night, his original task was to destroy the corpse—Ruan Ling, who was the last victim brought into the police station. Unexpected things, I have to say, Team Chu, you are very lucky, and you can get key clues by accident."
Chu Li sneered and didn't say anything provocative.
Tang Xi glanced at him and raised her eyebrows knowingly. This guy must be saying something like "Only incompetent people attribute their failures to other people's luck".
"So, Ayun and I plan to go to that stronghold first to find out the truth." Fang Tianchen said again, "Since the suspect has been arrested for a few days, we can't rule out the possibility of missing out. But even if there is a little hope, we have to go and see No trace was left behind."
"Yes." Chu Li nodded in agreement. As long as the other party's opinion is reasonable, he doesn't mind who calls the shots.
"Ah Yun and I can go." Fang Tianchen frowned.
"I won't hold you back." Tang Xi said calmly, "We are responsible for our own safety."
"Whatever you want." Fang Tianchen glanced at her and said.
"It's not too late, let's go." Chu Li got up first.
"Xiao Chu, take it easy." Director Zhao asked worriedly, and looked at Tang Xi again.
Jiangnan City is his territory, and Director Zhao doesn't like the people sent from above to interfere with their work, so he also hopes that Chu Li can win the city bureau's reputation, but if it is really so dangerous, it is not a matter of trying to win reputation!
"Don't worry, Director Zhao, it's fine." Chu Li didn't care much.
At least he felt that after seeing the group of baby spirits crawling all over the ground, even if a group of zombies came out again, he would be able to calmly rush up and punch them one by one.
The four of them were divided into two groups with clear distinctions, and they didn't intend to act together, but drove two cars separately.
"What do you think?" Chu Li asked.
"Your intuition is good, that Fang Tianyun is quite weak." Tang Xi agreed, "If the ability of a celestial master is divided into one to ten stars from low to high, she has at most two stars."
"What about Fang Tianchen?" Chu Li was startled.
"Fang Tianchen is a bit strange." Tang Xi rubbed his chin, feeling a little distressed, "He doesn't have any spiritual power, and he doesn't look like a celestial master at all. Could it be that he has other special abilities?"
"He is stronger than Fang Tianyun." Chu Li concluded, "That woman is very accustomed to obeying his orders."
"Well, it doesn't matter, anyway, it's not the enemy now." Tang Xi stretched her waist, closed her eyes, "It's too early, I'll catch up on sleep."
Chu Li wanted to say that you usually go to school earlier, but after looking at the faint blue eyes in her eyes, she didn't say anything, but closed the car window.
Tang Xi didn't lie, she really didn't get enough sleep, because after seeing off the guests yesterday, Cheng Yihang, who stayed at the end, sent her a thick brochure, and she stayed up all night to read it.
There was something wrong with the vaccine donated by Tang's pharmaceutical company.
At the beginning, several children had adverse reactions after being vaccinated and died one after another. Because the vaccine itself is also a virus, there is indeed a chance of rejection. In addition, the recipients of the donation are all poor families in remote areas. Even if the child is gone, they will not be able to petition and complain. However, as more and more children had adverse reactions, children's hospital beds in several areas were full, and the matter was finally exposed, but it was too late.
Now the government has ordered the recall of all unused vaccines and seized the pharmaceutical company Tang. The health, epidemic prevention, and discipline inspection departments all settled in the company and began to investigate, and the public opinion on the Internet spread like a wind, and Tang Zhenying was very busy.
Only after reading it did Tang Xi realize why the Tang family seemed to have forgotten her for a while, and they really didn't have time to think about her right now.
Tsk, no wonder the bad luck. Sure enough, people are doing the work and the sky is watching. The batch of expired vaccines has mutated into some kind of virus. It doesn't matter whether the dead ones are alive or not. It's really a crime!
The car in front stopped in a small open space at the foot of the mountain.
Chu left the car to the side and was about to wake Tang Xi up, but before she could speak, she had already opened her eyes.
"Here?" Tang Xi yawned, unbuckled his seat belt, and put on the small satchel.
Today, she is dressed in a white T-shirt, light blue jeans, and a light pink cardigan sweater. She is youthful and beautiful, as if she is here for an outing. It is two extremes of the tight leather clothing style of the Fang brothers and sisters, which is not good no matter how you look at it.
"Well, there is no way, I have to go up, are you physically strong?" Chu Li said.
"No, why don't you carry me?" Tang Xi rolled her eyes.
Although the original owner's physical fitness is far worse than hers, during these days she has been eating well, channeling spiritual power, and insisting on morning jogs every day, she is still much better than ordinary young people.
"It's okay." Chu Li felt that it would not be a problem for him to carry a hundred and eighty catties over mountains and mountains.
"Pig. Take it." Before he got out of the car, Tang Xi threw a small gadget over him.
"What is this?" Chu Li held the shell sweater chain inlaid with rhinestones, which was obviously for girls, with a look of disgust.
"Antiques are worth at least hundreds of thousands, take it easy," Tang Xi said.
Chu Li shook his hand and almost threw it back to her.
"Borrow you, this thing can store spiritual power. I carved a defensive circle on it. No ghosts can get close until the spiritual power I stored is exhausted." Tang Xi said.
"Only guard against ghosts?" Chu Li noticed the loophole in her words.
"Demons and ghosts, in fact, only ghosts have no form at all." Tang Xi explained, "If you encounter a monster—Chu team, just charge up and fight, your attack can hit it, I am optimistic about you!"
"..." Chu Li got off the car immediately. But the chain was still around the neck and tucked into the shirt.
"According to the aerial photos, we have to walk five or six miles on the mountain road. You follow me and be careful." Fang Tianyun said.
"Understood." Tang Xi responded.
What he showed was kindness, and she didn't know what to do. As for who is strong and who is weak and who is holding back, this kind of thing, you will know when you meet the enemy, there is no need to rush to brag about how powerful you are.
So a group of Fang Tianyun led the way, followed by Chu Li and Tang Xi, and finally Fang Tianchen. After the break, the four of them aligned their directions and walked deep into the forest.
"It's so quiet." After walking for a while, Tang Xi said.
"There is a village on the back of this mountain, Jiahuaishan Village, with a population of more than one hundred households, but there are no people on this side, so of course it is quiet." Fang Tianyun said casually.
"Stupid." Chu Li endured it, and finally said, "She's not talking about people, but insects and birds!"
Fang Tianyun was taken aback for a moment, and then came to her senses. It's not that she's really stupid, but she has too little experience, and she can't compare with Chu Li, who has solved countless major cases, and Tang Xi, who has eliminated countless goblins and ghosts.
On such a large deserted mountain, the vegetation is abundant, even if there are any medium-sized animals, it is normal, but now, let alone rabbits and birds, even flying insects and ants are not seen.
This is of course not normal.
"Be careful." Fang Tianchen said in a deep voice.
At this moment, there was a sudden rustling sound from the bushes in front.
"Who!" Fang Tianyun shouted.
Although she held a cinnabar yellow talisman in her hand, she didn't type it out immediately. After all, it is still noon, when the yang energy is at its peak, it is really not suitable for activities of demons and ghosts.
No one answered, but there were faint sounds from all directions, front, back, left, and right.
"Surrounded." Fang Tianchen turned around, facing the way he came from.
After a long time, finally, the first figure appeared.
It was an old farmer in gray cloth, with a hoe on his shoulder, staggering down the hill.
The villagers of Huaishan Village? Fang Tianyun muttered, and raised her voice to ask: "Old man, what are you doing running so far on the mountain road alone?"
The old man didn't answer, but walked straight towards them along the rugged path.
"Ayun, be careful!" Fang Tianchen turned around and threw a wind blade over.
"Dang!" The hoe raised by the old farmer was sent flying.
"Hey! Are you crazy!" Fang Tianyun was startled.
"They're under control." Fang Tianchen said coldly.
"What should I do?" Not to mention Fang Tianyun, Chu Li had no problem.
Even if he was controlled, he was still a living person, an innocent citizen, especially at this old man's age, Chu Li was worried that if he knocked him out, something would happen to him.
After such a short time, many people came out of the forest slowly, men, women, old and young, all with dull eyes, like walking dead without souls.
"Despicable and shameless!" Fang Tianyun couldn't help cursing.
Fang Tianchen waved his hand, and a gust of wind blew up without warning, blowing these villagers to this side.
However, soon, someone stood up again.
"A born supernatural person?" Tang Xi was a little surprised.
"Yes." Fang Tianchen nodded, "Ah Yun is good at fire spells, I control the wind, and always act as a partner. I wonder what kind of ability Miss Tang cultivated?"
"Fight!" Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, raised her hand and grabbed a shovel swung by a young man, and swept it with her feet, tripping him up, and then raised her palm and slashed at the back of the young man's neck with a knife. A series of movements are like flowing clouds and flowing water, which is pleasing to the eye.
Facts have proved that even if it is controlled, the conduction function of the central nervous system is cut off, and it can be knocked out.
"Find a stronger one to stun and open a way out!" Chu Li's eyes lit up.
"It's exactly what I want." Tang Xi rushed out before he could finish speaking.
The brothers and sisters of the Fang family froze for a moment, and hurried to follow, extremely aggrieved.
Their moves are too lethal, and once they are used, the villagers will definitely be killed or injured, and hand-to-hand combat is really not their strong point.
"Why do I think this is a trap?" Tang Xi said.
"Don't worry about it so much, if you want to control so many living people, you can't do it if you are too far away, that person is nearby!" Fang Tianchen shouted.
nearby? Tang Xi turned around and looked around.
There are lush trees everywhere. In this environment, let alone one person, even if there are ten or eight hidden ones, you will not be able to find them for a while.
"Let's go up first and then talk." Tang Xi was helpless.
"Xiaoxi, shall I go find someone?" Su Huang's voice came from beside my ear.
Tang Xi pondered for a while, nodded slightly, and said in a low voice: "Be careful, the other two brothers and sisters should also be careful."
"Understood." Su Huang replied with a smile.
In the chaos, a faint shadow slipped into the woods against the ground, without arousing anyone's idea.
The author has something to say: I would like to make it clear here that the three most important characters in this article other than the heroine, Yun Qi is Xixi’s family relationship, they depend on each other for life, and Yun Qi almost watched her grow up, that’s for sure It cannot be spoiled, otherwise it will be too perverted. Chu Li is Xixi's friendship, a comrade who entrusts each other back to back, I can't find a sense of cp between them at all. As a friend, Chu Li can find Xixi to fight when he is in trouble, but is it human to call his girlfriend to help fight when he is in danger? Xixi often does things outside the rules, she will call Team Chu to clean up the aftermath without any guilt, but the convenience of being the leader of the serious crime team to cheat on her boyfriend is... omg, I am not a big man and a big woman I just feel that the way friends and lovers get along is different. If it is a lover, because my girlfriend (boyfriend) is very powerful, so I will call my girlfriend (boyfriend) if there is danger. This operation is really unacceptable. It would be better for Team Chu and Xixi to be bad friends, and... Team Chu is also older than Xixi by more than one round.
Finally, Pei Qingzhi is Xixi's love. He doesn't need to fight with Xixi. In fact, I feel that we are jealous. I don't like two people who are too similar. Maybe they are very passionate when they are in love, but they are not suitable for marriage. And Pei Qingzhi is the kind of person who is as tolerant as the sea. I will not stop you from doing dangerous things. I will only try my best to help you with the logistics so that you don't have to worry about the future. I. Let you fly freely, and when you are tired from flying, I will give you a warm and safe nest for you to stay.
Because of age, the real emotional drama must be in the second half. Maybe it means that I will deviate from the original idea, but there is a premise: if I really can’t write emotional drama, I will change it to no cp, only cloud Qi and Chu Li cannot be the male protagonists.
