Not long after hanging up the phone, the person on duty received a call from the police. Hearing the person on the phone, the person's scalp exploded, and he hurriedly notified the personnel on duty outside to go to the scene of the crime to check.

If something so big happens, of course, the director should be notified. But I know that the director's father is passing away today, and the specific circumstances of the case have not been clarified. On the way to the scene, the deputy director did not call to inform him.

Since the location of the incident was in a remote alley, when most of the police arrived, there were no onlookers or reporters at the scene.

Passing through the separation zone, the deputy director saw four or five colleagues, cut in half and miserable.

After just one glance, everyone's hair immediately stood on end, and blood gushed upward.

After so many years of handling the case, everyone has never seen such a terrifying scene.

There was also a newcomer who had just arrived, rushed out of the isolation zone, hid to the side, and threw up.

This matter was indeed serious enough, and in the end, the deputy director had to call the director Cao Xingzhou.

☯☯☯☯☯

In the conference room, Cao Xingzhou listened to the deputy director's statement, immediately lit a cigarette and asked, "How is the on-site investigation?"

One of them said: "The tables and chairs at the scene were intact, and there were no traces of fighting, indicating that everyone didn't even have a chance to resist, so they were cut into two sections." One of them was cut off by the waist, did not die immediately, and crawled forward for a short distance. ”

"Are there any living witnesses?" Cao Xingzhou then asked.

"Yes, the owner of the dog meat stand. However, due to stimulation, he has been talking nonsense and has been sent to a mental hospital. ”

"Did he say anything?"

What he kept repeating in his mouth were words like revenge for the soul and zombie life. ”

"Hopefully that's not true. ”

Cao Xingzhou's words, the scene suddenly quieted down.

Police officers are absolutely not allowed to talk about ghosts and gods, especially when handling cases. But reality tells everyone that paranormal events have always existed.

Seeing that he couldn't continue his words, Cao Xingzhou continued: "When will the autopsy come out?"

"It's almost out at noon. ”

"Look up how much the deceased have in common and see if you can find the motive behind the murderer. ”

"We've checked this, and it's the result of the report. As he spoke, the deputy chief handed over two pages.

The paper prints that these people are in the same place, working in the same public security bureau, like to go to the same dog meat stall, like to go to the same public bath, like to ...... The last point attracted Cao Xingzhou's attention.

All of them have participated in the recent disappearance of homeless people, and appeared in the final arrest operation of the Great Buddha Temple.

The Big Buddha Temple is the Big Buddha Temple again.

Is this really a thing out of play? There are follow-up developments.

Indeed, because of the suicide of the mastermind Jin Bin, there are many questions that remain unanswered. And with the homeless no longer missing, the case was solved.

Cao Xingzhou snuffed out the cigarette butt and asked, "Did you find anything about the explosion in the Big Buddha Temple?"

After being silent for a while, Cao Xingzhou remembered that he went to check with the two deputy directors at that time, saying that it was an accident, so that everyone didn't have to care. Therefore, no one has investigated this matter at all.

And the scene has now been dealt with, and if you want to check it again, you can't find any clues.

In fact, the three of them did not go to the scene of the explosion at that time, but to the city's special case team.

Although let's not talk about the special case team now, even the special branch is not a very secret thing. However, in line with the idea of minimizing the occurrence of disturbing incidents in the jurisdiction, unless the supernatural event takes the initiative to appear on the street, the special case team and the special department will not take the initiative to make the matters handled public.

So when he knew that the special case team was also involved, Cao Xingzhou only asked if he needed any help, and did not pay too much attention to this case.

Now, this case is related to the Big Buddha Temple again, and Cao Xingzhou has to go to the special case team again.

is different from Lin Fan's special case team, the special case team here is in a community. The special task force used the last two floors of the 24 buildings in this community as the office space.

After talking with the leader of the special case team, Cao Xingzhou left.

Because this incident may be a relatively serious supernatural incident, the special case team has no way to intervene, so it has to be handed over to Special Branch.

But during this time, due to the frequent strange times in several surrounding cities, Zhu Jialiang, the director of the special department, transferred all the personnel out. The case of the Big Buddha Temple can only be put on hold for the time being.

Closing the car door, Cao Xingzhou did not start the car immediately, but sat in the driver's seat and smoked.

What a happy day, how did it become like this.

☯☯☯☯☯

Cao Qingxi's home originally had a good birthday, but it became a little embarrassing because everyone had different opinions on Cao Linyue's choice of mate.

Chen Tao felt that when Jin Le and his wife looked at him, they always looked resentful.

And Jin Wenbai felt that standing between Chen Tao and Cao Linyue always felt uncomfortable.

At this moment, the doorbell of the courtyard suddenly rang. It seems that someone has come to celebrate his birthday again.

Originally, even if Cao Xingzhou's interpersonal relationships were put aside, Cao Qingxi would not be able to stay at home all day long and not contact anyone.

The door was opened, and Cao Linyue was stunned. Standing in front of him was a student about his age. After only a lot of up and down, Cao Linyue had already analyzed the basic information of the other party.

I saw that the man was properly cleaned up from head to toe, giving people a feeling of sunshine and confidence. In his hand, he held a gift box.

"Excuse me, are you ......" This person is here to celebrate his birthday, but Cao Linyue has never seen this person. Whether he came to get closer to their family, he still asked his father.

"Hello, in Xia Caoying, I am from the same school as you, and I came today to celebrate your grandfather's birthday. ”

"Cao Ying?" Cao Linyue muttered in a low voice, recalling this somewhat familiar name.

"Why, isn't it convenient?, then please convey this gift and my sincere blessings to the old gentleman. ”

"Excuse me, please come in. ”

As she spoke, Cao Linyue welcomed Cao Ying in.

"Lin Yue, who is it?" Inside the house, Cao Qingxi asked loudly. Listening to his voice, he is full of energy, and his body should be tougher than the current young man.

"Grandpa, a classmate of mine is here to greet you today. ”

When he saw Cao Ying, Chen Tao was shocked. How did he get here? Is there going to be something going on here?

The strength of people like Cao Ying and Feng Yunlong, Chen Tao knows, is not high. Usually gags, it doesn't seem to be a good line. But once you do it, it's never meaningless.

The concept of meaning is actually a related concept.

If there is no help from the gods, their actions will be meaningful or futile.

Since his existence, Cao Ying has experienced the Battle of the Nine Realms, traveled through countless universes, and witnessed their destruction and rebirth.

From his point of view, everything that mortal beings do is meaningless. Because no matter what they do, how much they struggle, it's meaningless.

The reason why they also participate in it is just to do something to pass the boring time. If, time really exists.

So, is Cao Ying's coming here a sign that something interesting will happen, or will something happen, from his point of view, it will be interesting.

I saw Cao Ying walk in front of Cao Qingxi, handed the gift box in his hand to him, and said, "Grandpa, I wish you happiness like the East China Sea and longevity than Nanshan." A little bit of meaning, please laugh. ”

He looks handsome and dresses appropriately, and the gifts he gives are not bad just by looking at the outer packaging.

Immediately, the Jinle couple regarded this Cao Ying as a potential enemy.

Cao Qingxi naturally didn't know what Jin Le thought, he just smiled and went to receive Cao Ying's gift.

And just as he held the gift box with both hands, the expression on his face stiffened.

"You...... Are you from your own family?" Cao Qingxi looked at the badge on Cao Ying's chest and asked in surprise.

"Yes, it is the eldest son of Cao Xingyu, the current head of the Cao family. ”

"I didn't expect that my branch of the vein has long been out of contact with my family, and you can find me and give me a birthday. ”

Cao Ying smiled, he could already feel the other party's hand that had become a little trembling due to excitement.

"Grandpa said something, you don't have contact with the family anymore, we are also related to blood thicker than water. What's more, you are the oldest of the Qing generation, so isn't it natural to give you a birthday greeting. And it's nice that I have an extra cousin today. ”

Cao Linyue didn't expect that her grandfather would still hide such a deep identity.

But Chen Tao was thinking: Are you guys all sister-controlled? Guo Mingyu did not hesitate to go against his father for the sake of his sister. Although Feng Yunlong only has a younger brother, he is also for his father. You even recognized your sister on the grounds of celebrating your birthday.

Today's gift is more expensive than the same, and Cao Qingxi, who is excited, is just about to let his daughter-in-law take out the good wine that she has treasured for many years.

But before the words came to his mouth, his face changed greatly.

At the same time, Chen Tao was also facing the gate of the courtyard with a vigilant face.

The sudden solemn atmosphere made Cao Linyue unsure why, and just wanted to ask Chen Tao what was wrong.

I saw Cao Ying walk up to her side and said, "Use Qimen Dunjia for a while to protect yourself." ”

Cao Linyue was taken aback when she heard this, and her mind hadn't turned a corner yet.

Then I heard a bang, and the gate split in two, flying into the courtyard. An arc-shaped sword qi rushed straight towards everyone in the room.

At the critical moment, Cao Qingxi and Chen Tao stepped forward at the same time, turned into several blue talismans in their hands, and shot out.

Bang bang bang, after a few impacts, the knife qi was finally eliminated.

"You/you" the two said in unison.

They didn't expect that the other party would have such cultivation, and for a while, they didn't know what to say.

Fortunately, there is an unknown enemy in front of you, which can relieve the silence for a while.

The two looked at the offender and saw that the other party was skinny and wearing a slightly larger shroud.

When he met someone wearing a shroud, Cao Qingxi was displeased when he saw it. The old man was already taboo about this, and he had learned spells, so it was impossible to persuade him not to be feudal superstition.

The skin on the outside of the clothes was exposed, and it was as white as paper. And in his right hand, he also carried a large knife.

The hilt of the knife is carved into a series of skeletons, and the blade is engraved with a picture of a strange beast. And the real key thing is that around the blade, there are bursts of yin and evil aura.

Without waiting for the two to observe their opponents, the corpse launched an attack, slashing the two of them.

Although the corpse is strong in attack, its moves are ordinary, which is an ordinary slash.

The two of them hurriedly turned around and retreated, dodging the knife very easily.

Unexpectedly, the corpse slashed into the air with one move, but did not pursue, but rushed into the house and attacked Cao Linyue.

The people of the Jin family in the house screamed in surprise and hid in the corner. And Cao Linyue relied on the Qimen Dunjia footwork he learned to avoid the slashing of the dead corpse.

In the courtyard, Cao Qingxi and Chen Tao had a bad heart and hurriedly rushed back to the house.

Cao Linyue didn't learn Qimen Dunjia for a long time, and now in this desperate situation, he is facing this terrifying corpse again. Before he could take two steps, he tripped over a piece of furniture.

Seeing that he was about to fall to the ground, the corpse's big knife was about to slash down.

Suddenly, the palm that had been gentle supported her back, and the other hand clamped the tip of the knife, so that the corpse's attack could not advance for another half a minute.

I only heard Cao Ying say in a very relaxed tone: "My sister I just recognized, it's less than five minutes, if you kill me, then I won't be very faceless." So, with me, you...... Don't touch her. ”

The last four words seem to be a threat, like a command.

And the dead corpse, which was supposed to have no thoughts, took back the knife in fear.

"Roar!" the corpse's knife was raised when it let out a scream.

It turned out that it was Chen Tao and Cao Qingxi who took advantage of this opportunity to rush behind the dead body, and at the same time used a purple talisman to hit it in the back.

The corpse was hit, and it became even more arrogant, and when he turned around, he slashed at the two of them.

The two of them also prepared early, one dodged sideways, the other retreated, and dodged the blow.

The blow was unsuccessful, and the corpse did not continue to fight, but took advantage of this gap, went directly to the courtyard, and escaped.

"It's okay. The dead body fled, and the two had no intention of chasing, so they hurriedly asked Cao Linyue about her condition.

Although she was taken aback, Cao Linyue's overall condition was quite stable. After all, she also participated in her father's case, and learned Qimen Dunjia with Chen Tao for a few days. In the face of such a scene, it is much better than the three of the Jin family hiding in the corner and trembling.

"It's okay......" Chen Tao, who just wanted to step forward to comfort her, was stopped by Cao Qingxi.

"You can go too. ”

This sentence stunned most of the people in the audience.

"Grandpa, how are you ......?"

Cao Qingxi didn't give his granddaughter a chance to speak, and when he reached out and grabbed it, the Wufu birthday gift box that fell on the ground flew into his hand.

"You've studied spells?"

"Yes, the juniors have studied for a while. Chen Tao didn't know the old man's intentions, so he had to answer truthfully.

I saw Cao Qingxi hand back the gift box to Chen Tao with a displeased face, and said, "If the thing is broken, I will compensate according to the price, please go." ”

This inexplicable eviction order, obviously he was still kind and pleasant just now, how to beat away a corpse monster, the old man turned his face.

"Grandpa......" Chen Tao also wanted to explain.

"Please don't have anything to do with Lin Yue in the future. ”

After saying that, he turned around and no longer gave Chen Tao a chance to speak.

Chen Tao was helpless and looked at Cao Linyue. The latter could only shake his head helplessly and motioned for him to leave first.

The Jin family, who were hiding on the side, didn't know what was going on, but they didn't want Chen Tao to leave now. If the corpse monster comes back, multiple mages will have multiple guarantees.

"Grandpa, why is that?"
