"What case were you working on last night?" Zhou Dao asked with a smile and walked in.
Zheng Ruijun, as the leader of the special investigation team of Yungu City, has his own separate office.
This office is not too spacious. It consists of a set of standard desks and chairs, a leather sofa, a coffee table, an air conditioner and two pots of green dill.
It's just that the windows in the office are all closed at the moment. When I walked in, I felt that the air was not circulating, and it was a little stuffy.
"Investigate a case of a missing child." Zheng Ruijun took a disposable paper cup, poured a glass of water, handed it to Zhou Dao, and continued: "At first, I suspected something abnormal, because the screen displayed by the monitor was also very strange. It was only later that the murderer turned out to be a monkey."
"Where did the monkey come from?" Zhou Dao asked curiously.
"Monkeys who descended from Qifu Mountain, you should know that on Qifu Mountain in Yungu City, monkeys are famous gangsters. Even tourists are afraid of them." Zheng Ruijun explained.
"Then did you find the missing child?" Zhou Dao continued to ask.
"I found it, I found it." Zheng Ruijun nodded, "found it in the monkey's den, but it doesn't matter much except being frightened."
"Wipe your sweat." Zhou Dao laughed, "Sleep, not only the forehead, but also the neck and palms are sweaty."
Zheng Ruijun smiled and said, "No, I don't have any sweat in my hands."
Zhou Dao didn't speak, but pointed to the disposable paper cup that Zheng Ruijun had just carried over on the table, only to see tiny water droplets hanging on the outside of the paper cup.
Zheng Ruijun explained: "That's because the water just overflowed."
But at the same moment, his hand wiped his trousers unknowingly.
"I may go back to Heshan City tonight." Zhou Dao didn't move the water on the table, but said: "I want to thank you for your help these days, so I will come to tell you."
"What are you polite?" Zheng Ruijun waved his hand. "We should cooperate, but there is no substantial help. Instead, it makes you bother yourself."
Zhou Dao shook his head: "There is nothing to worry about, but the root cause of the case has probably been figured out. When I go back and call a colleague to confirm it, it may be clear.
"Are you going back to Yungu?" Zheng Ruijun asked.
Zhou Dao shook his head again: "Not necessarily."
He then checked the time, stood up, and took out an envelope from his small purse.
The envelope is sealed and obviously contains something, perhaps paper, but I don’t know what type of paper it is.
"I just went to take a look, but Chief Zeng of the criminal team is not there. Could you please pass this to him, thank you!"
"Okay, no problem." Zheng Ruijun took it, and put it in the drawer of his desk.
Walking towards the door thoughtfully, Zheng Ruijun opened the door for him.
He turned around and patted Zheng Ruijun's slightly thin shoulders, and said with a smile: "I heard that if a person is forced to inhale abnormal qi, the whole body will sweat profusely when the abnormal qi is exhausted. I don't know if there is such a thing. ?"
Zheng Ruijun was startled and shook his head: "I don't know, I dare not touch that thing."
He smiled thoughtfully, turned and left.
Zheng Ruijun stared at his distant back, and gradually, his eyes became cold.
He closed the office door and returned to his desk. He opened the drawer and took out the sealed letter, weighing it in his hand.
Turning his head and looking out the window, he saw Zhou Dao's figure with a small leather bag appearing in the garden outside the building, passing through the garden and gradually disappearing.
He withdrew his eyes, and his whole person was relaxed instantly from just now, like a balloon filled with air. At this moment, he suddenly relaxed, his face was slightly pale, and he breathed lightly.
Pulled two tissues, wiped the sweat off his face, and then took off his coat. The vest inside was already soaked with sweat.
Zheng Ruijun at this moment looked as if he was several years old, and he felt a sense of sudden depression.
However, he didn't care about his current state at all. He just stared at the sealed letter in his hand, slowly stretched out his left hand, took a pair of scissors, and slowly approached the letter.
After a while, the scissors stopped, and the tip just touched the envelope, but did not cut it.
After a stalemate for about a minute, Zheng Ruijun put down the scissors, took a deep look at the letter, slowly put it into the drawer, and closed the drawer.
He stood up and turned on the air conditioner. The air conditioner was fully activated. Then he found a spare set of clean clothes from the box under the filing cabinet and changed his soaked clothes.
…
After leaving the public security office, Shen Xing did not go home, but went straight to the woodcarving shop to open a store.
I haven’t opened the shop for a few days. Because of the street, the counter has been covered with a layer of fine dust. He soaked the rag in water, wrung out a little, and then wiped all the display cabinets, especially the glass was polished brightly. of.
After sweeping the floor, I dragged it twice again. After I was busy, I sat down and drank a glass of water, ready to go to the bakery next door to buy a piece of bread and a glass of milk to fill my hunger.
As soon as he was about to go out, he looked up and saw a familiar figure walking into the store. It was Zhuo Datong who was clamoring to return his mask woodcarving a few days ago.
"Boss Shen, hello! It's been a long time." Zhuo Datong smiled immediately after seeing Shen Xing.
He knew very well that after the sheriff came forward to handle the case, due to some special reasons, his wife's body might never return to the grave.
There has been a strange concern in his heart these days.
On the one hand, she missed Jiang Guirong a little bit before she was alive, and on the other hand, she was very afraid of the wife who looked terrifying now and was completely two people.
After thinking about it, Zhuo Datong felt that the way to heal his weird thoughts might be to look at the mask again.
Besides, I had misunderstood Shen Xing at the beginning, so I had to come over and apologize to Shen Xing personally.
He had been here since yesterday, and he was still waiting on the street for a long time, but he didn't know that Shen Xing didn't come to open the shop, so he came again today.
Shen Xing is not a caregiver, mainly because the facts are now clear. Whether Jiang Guirong cheated on the corpse has nothing to do with the wood carving of the mask he sold to Zhuo Datong.
Otherwise, Zhuo Datong would not lick his face now, and ran to himself with a smile on his face.
He smiled, nodded and said: "Come on, sit down."
After speaking, he turned back to the shop, took out the key, took out the mask that Zhuo Datong sent back from the cabinet under a container, and said to Zhuo Datong.
"Are you going to take the mask back, or do I refund you directly?"
"I want a mask, I want a mask, I want a mask." Zhuo Datong quickly stood up and walked over, taking the mask wrapped in a cloth towel with both hands.
He opened the cloth towel and looked at it, then smiled relievedly and held it tightly. Shen Xing even noticed that the old man's eyes were filled with tears.
"I'm going to buy bread next door, have you eaten?" Shen Xing asked casually.
Zhuo Datong immediately grabbed his sleeves: "What kind of bread to eat? I invite you to dinner and find a small restaurant near here."
Shen Xing said: "I just opened a shop. Going to the restaurant wasted time and affected the business."
Zhuo Datong insisted on not letting him eat any bread, and immediately said: "I will ask the restaurant to bring you to the store, and we will eat here."
However, Shen Xing finally nodded.
After a while, Zhuo Datong went to arrange the meals. Kung Pao diced pork, garlic cabbage, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and bean curd soup were all home-cooked dishes.
Shen Xing smiled and said: "This early morning, I still eat like this for the first time."
Zhuo Datong also smiled and said, "I am also the first time."
Although the two said that, they quickly swept the dishes clean after sitting down.
Calling the restaurant to take away the leftover dishes, Shen Xing got up and cleaned the eating place, while Zhuo Datong took a rag to help wipe the table where the dishes were placed.
"Oh, your shop has already started to invite people." A voice sounded at the door of the woodcarving shop at this time, sounding familiar.
Shen Xing looked up and found that it was Zhou Dao, a member of the special adjustment team from Heshan City, and smiled at him: "So you haven't returned? Well, this is my customer, not the guy in the store. Let me talk about my little one. Broken shop, where can I afford someone?"
Seeing Zhou Dao’s leadership style, Zhuo Datong didn’t dare to ask more. After wiping the table, he put down the rag, wrapped his mask and woodcarving, clasped his hands, and said to Shen Xing: “Then I’m not disturbing you, Boss Shen, I’ll go first. Yes, I will contact you by phone later."
"Okay, you go slowly." Shen Xing nodded.
After seeing Zhuo Datong leave, Zhou Dao took a long time to look away from his back, pointed to the direction Zhuo Datong had left, and asked: "This is the man who cheated on his wife?"
Shen Xing nodded, a little surprised: "I didn't expect you to have been paying attention to the special case in Yungu City. I think Zhao Wenbo may have just reported this case."
Zhou Dao nodded without concealing: "I actually have been paying attention."
Shen Xing spread his hands together and said to him: "Are you trying to tell me, do you want to buy my wood carvings this time?"
Thoughtfully smiled: "Well, since you said I will buy one. But I want to ask you for help."
"What's the matter?" Shen Xing was originally joking.
"Go to the forensic room of the Public Security Department in the evening, and stare at Mortuary 3 for me there." Zhou Dao said in a low voice.
Shen Xing was suddenly surprised: "Isn't Chen Fang the corpse of Zhuo Datong's wife Jiang Guirong just now?"
"I know." Zhou Dao nodded: "I'm working on a case, and you need to guard the corpse tonight. If anything is abnormal, please notify me in time."
Shen Xing was even more confused, and asked, "Why don't you ask the special dispatch team of Yungu City to help you? They should be more experienced than me..."
Zhou Dao waved his hand and suppressed his voice lower: "You just need to do what I said, don’t ask more. Anyway, guard Mortuary 3 tonight. Even if anyone comes, don’t let him in. I will let him. All the staff on duty in the forensic room also left."
Shen Xing shook his head and said, "Sorry, I'm just a temporary worker in the investigation team, and I'm still paid by the piece. Now I don't know what you want me to do, so I may not be able to accept this arrangement."
Zhou Dao sighed softly, as if he was thinking about something. About two or three minutes later, he raised his head and stared at Shen Xing and said, "Do you remember the last scalp incident? During my investigation in Yungu City, I found its upper matrix. Yes. But the anomaly is very powerful and very cunning. During this period I also found that the people here have some problems."
"The people here... who are they referring to?" Shen Xing frowned.
"Investigation team." Zhou Dao whispered: "I checked your details. You didn't know anyone from the Yungu City Investigation Team before you encountered the anomaly, and it was only recently that you decided to join the team to handle the case temporarily, so you can do it here now. You are one of those who believe."
"A problem?" Shen Xing was surprised when he heard Zhou Dao's words.
He doesn't know how serious the "problem" the other party is referring to is, or what the problem is, but it is clear that Zhou Dao doesn't trust the Yungu City investigation team much anymore. Instead, he chooses to trust himself as a temporary hire. personnel.
"At night you go to the duty room outside the corpse room. Don't tell the people of the Yungu City Investigation Team. Don't tell anyone, just stay there."
As Zhou Dao spoke, he took out a silver pen and handed it to Shen Xing, "This electromagnetic pen can not only release static electricity, but also instantly generate strong high-voltage currents. This is a fatal attack. I will now give you self-defense. , You have to use it with caution."
Shen Xing took the pen and saw that this pen was somewhat different from the electrostatic pen that the investigation team gave him. It was slightly larger, and the cap was a push-type pen, which could not be opened directly.
Zhou Dao taught him the method used and reminded: "You will not touch the upper matrix, but you have to know that this anomaly is not an ordinary anomaly that you usually have. It is not just as simple as its characteristics, but Have dark skills."
"Dark skills?" Shen Xing pondered carefully and felt more and more surprised.
"These are just reminding you to be vigilant. Don't leave the mortuary duty room tonight anyway." Zhou Dao continued to exhort, "You don't have to worry about everything outside, just keep it there."
"Then what are you doing?" Shen Xing asked puzzledly.
Zhou Dao's expression was slightly severe: "Catch the abnormality, and then see if you can catch someone."
Shen Xing suddenly thought of something: "The ink stain, is there any whereabouts?"
Thoughtfully nodded and reminded: "Remember, if you see ink stains near you, you must be on guard, or simply run away. If you feel dizzy or about to faint, you can just bite the tip of your tongue."
At this point, he bowed his head and pondered: "However, as long as you stay on the second underground floor, you should not see anything."
The two discussed some details. Although Zhou Dao did not make it clear who he was suspecting and what the abnormality was to be arrested due to temporary confidentiality reasons, Shen Xing knew that his task was much simpler, as long as he kept the forensic room. The side is fine.
For other cases, I will ask in detail after tonight.
Only this time he was cooperating with the special investigation team of Heshan City. Before Zhou Dao left, he directly transferred him a case remuneration of 10,000 yuan, which is to stay overnight in the mortuary duty room. If there is any abnormality, I will notify Zhou Dao. Here it is.
After Zhou Dao left, Shen Xing looked at the collection text message in his mobile phone, but felt that his next encounter might not be as simple as this guy said. (End of this chapter)
