"What the hell place. ”

Looking at the rusty iron gate and the surrounding environment where the bird doesn't, Chai Xu complained in his heart about the leader who arranged this drudgery for himself.

Raising his hand and knocking, the iron door immediately creaked, as if it was about to fall apart.

"Hello, is anyone there, I'm a police officer from the Eastern District Police Station, is anyone there?"

There was a strange creaking sound and birdsong all around, this house was built next to the abandoned park in the old town, overgrown with weeds, no one cared about it, the house was boxy, not big, but very quaint, I don't know if it was intentional by the people who lived there or really they hadn't been out for a long time, the weeds in front of the gate of the house had grown to the calf position, and it looked very unsightly.

If it weren't for the repeated instructions of the superiors, this family would definitely not be left behind, and he would really think that the family might have moved away a long time ago, and the old house left here was just an idle empty house.

After a long time, there was still no one to open the door, Chai Xu retreated in his heart, looking at the registration documents in his hand, he sighed long, he didn't expect that he was so full of ambition to show his strength on the best stage, but he could only go to this kind of dilapidated house to get the city leader's dilapidated building evacuation notice.

Chai Xu is a high-achieving student who graduated from the Beijing Police Academy, and his performance in the public security unified recruitment examination after graduation was extremely good, and he filled in the volunteer to enter the criminal investigation team, but in the end, the admission notice in hand said that he was a clerk of the Dongzhen Police Station in City C.

City C is very far away from the capital where his university is located, and there is no so-called obedience to his grades, but the above still decides like this, which is really incomprehensible, and even the teachers of the Party Affairs Office are a little surprised, they originally went up to petition with the idea of fighting for Chai Xu.

But these old teachers all returned the next day, not only that, but also turned against each other, but persuaded Chai Xu to go to City C with peace of mind.

“... Xuewen, this... The above regulations must have a reason for him, but you... You have a lot of potential, but you're young and inexperienced... You just go to C city to have a good experience, C city is not also very good, the development has been rapid in the past two years, the leader has praised you, you have to perform well... Ahem, I've got something to do, so be it. ”

From the back of the leader who fled and left, Chai Xu had already guessed everything.

His appointment is not an accident, but someone named him to make himself feel bad, but he has not graduated and has not yet stepped into society, who will hate him so much?

Even his tutor, the dean of academic affairs, kept silent about this matter, and even refused to meet Chai Xu later, in a word, everyone was urging Chai Xu to quickly pack his luggage and get out.

And he did.

Squeak.

Just as he was remembering, the iron door in front of him was suddenly opened.

Chai Xu immediately came back to his senses, paused, tried his best to show a friendly smile, and left all the previous unpleasantness behind, but when he saw the black thing sticking out of the crack in the iron door, Chai Xu was still frightened and screamed, and took several steps back.

"Which one are you. ”

It wasn't until the black thing spoke that Chai Xu suddenly realized that it was actually a person's head poked out, and then looked closely, it was still a woman, just because her long black hair was too messy and unkempt, and the winter weather was dark, for a while, she actually regarded her head as a black ball.

“... Yes... Lesbian, hello comrades, I am a police officer from the Eastern District Police Station, you can call me Xiaochai. ”

As he spoke, Chai Xu flashed his police ID card at the woman, and at the same time, a kind smile was restored on his face.

The woman slowly pushed the door open a little more, used her slender fingers to puff open the long hair that covered half of her face, looked at the police ID, and raised her eyes slightly to look at Chai Xu.

At this time, Chai Xu noticed that although her hair covered most of her face, this woman's facial features were very delicate, and her skin was fair, looking like a delicate doll.

It's just that... Her dirty appearance really undermines her beauty.

"What's the matter. ”

The woman opened the door completely, and the very cute pink pajamas caught Chai Xu's eyes, and this contrasting scene made Chai Xu suddenly speechless.

He had thought that the person living in this house might be an old man who could barely take care of himself, but he never thought that it was such a strange girl...

The girl looks young, the appearance of a female college student under the age of 20, with a petite body.

"Officer, what's the matter?"

The woman had completely let down her guard against Chai Xu, she pulled her long hair to the back of her head, tidied it up a little, and suddenly a pretty face jumped in front of her, Chai Xu was stunned for a long time, and finally remembered her purpose.

So he immediately picked up the folder in his hand and opened it tremblingly, he didn't know why he usually acted quickly, and he was always unusually restless in front of this ancient mansion today.

"Yes, it's about the dilapidated house notice of your old building, the leader hopes to reach a consensus with you, to see if there is a way for you to move out of this ancient house, you see, this old house is really in disrepair, it is estimated that the load-bearing columns have been corroded off, this old city is facing renovation and transformation, I hope..."

Chai Xu finally regained his state, and after saying a lot of words, the woman just took the document and didn't look at it, so she looked at Chai Xu very lazily and said.

"Officer, are you still at work this weekend?"

Chai Xu's words were suddenly interrupted, and his mind almost didn't turn for a while, he looked at the woman, and saw that the other party had very serious dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn't had a good rest for a long time, he was very smart, and guessed the reason why the woman asked like this.

He smiled and said apologetically.

“... Rest, hahaha, but we can't help the work arranged by the leader, but it will disturb your rest, ma'am. ”

But it's not right when you think about it... It's 3 o'clock in the afternoon, why hasn't this girl gotten up yet, looking at her in a pair of pajamas and getting up to watch the door, it seems that she has just woken up...

This girl made Chai Xu more and more puzzled, she was a girl who actually lived alone in this kind of ancient house, and Chai Xu even wondered if there was electricity in this ancient house.

"Ha~"

The girl seemed to be responding to Chai Xu's apologies just now, and as if mocking, she yawned and stretched again, and her movements were very cute like a kitten.

"Ma'am, you... What do you call it?"

"Title? You are asking my name? Don't you have the names of the residents here on your papers?"

Chai Xu suddenly realized, he hurriedly opened the folder, and looked at the documents carefully, Chai Xu has a habit, he likes to subconsciously read out what he reads when he is looking at things.

“... No. 72 Dongyang Road, Old Town... Owner's name..."

He muttered as he found a name between the lines.

“... Chang Ziming...?Are you Chang Ziming, Ms. Chang?"

The woman didn't speak, just smiled faintly at him.

Chai Xu didn't know what she was planning, and the girl had already hooked her fingers at him.

"Come in. ”

Chai Xu was stunned at the door for a moment, he thought that he could leave immediately after the notice was in place, after all, he really felt that this old mansion had a feeling that made him very uncomfortable, if he could, he wanted to avoid too much contact with this mansion and the people who lived in it.

"No need, Ms. Chang, I'm just here to convey the above document, if you understand it, sign it. ”

As he spoke, he handed the document to the woman, and casually pulled a pen from his jacket pocket and handed it over.

"Today our store is closed and closed, but you are lucky, the owner is still in the store today, come in, and tell him about the notice. ”

The woman said that she walked straight towards the courtyard of the house, leaving Chai Xu alone and standing at the gate.

But he finally understood the meaning of what the woman had just said.

This gloomy old mansion is a shop, what is it selling, coffins?

It's not a problem to stand outside this gate all the time and blow the cold wind, although I really want to leave this store early, but this is the first day of work, if this leader's instructions are not done, it will be even worse for my already not very bright future.

"Remember to close the door. ”

No sooner had he stepped into the old threshold than the voice of the woman in front of him came again.

He had always wondered what kind of shop it was, and when he stepped through the threshold, he found that it was still a few steps away from the inner house, and the courtyard was completely different from the desolate scene of overgrown weeds outside the courtyard, and the road was flat and very neat.

He looked around as he closed the old wooden door.

"Ms. Chang, what kind of store are you?"

He found that the woman's figure had completely disappeared into the house, there was no light on in the room, and the lighting was very poor, and it was simply black from the outside.

There was no description in the document that it was a shop, only the house number, and there was no answer from the woman's mouth, so he had to go up three flights of stairs to the back room of the house.

As soon as he entered the house, he smelled a strange aroma, and when he was in the police academy, his nose was often compared by the instructor to the police dog, and he immediately smelled that it was a rosin mixed with the fragrance of some gooseberries.

It was a very quaint and elegant aroma, and then his eyes adjusted to the darkness of the room, which was a boxy house with no superfluous layout.

The room was barely decorated, with shelves on all sides, a long dark red wooden counter in front of it, and a door behind the counter that looked like it led to the inner room.

Immediately after that, professional habits made him quickly glance at the goods on the shelves.

There were dusty bottles and jars, vessels of different shapes that he couldn't recognize, unidentified objects soaked in cloudy glass bottles, and strange objects that he couldn't even describe.

When his eyes glanced at a strange bronze statue of bronze, Chai Xu's heart suddenly seemed to be slammed by something, and the whole person was shocked.

This bronze statue looks like a person, but if you look closely, you feel very strange, the body is short and fat, the facial features are blurred, as if it has been deliberately erased, there are three small holes the size of the tail finger on the belly of the bronze statue, and then look at its posture, the short and fat body sits cross-legged, one hand is raised above the head, and the other hand covers his chest, which looks very strange.
