"A good friend for life. ”

"We're a team, a team, so we have to advance and retreat together. ”

Sitting in the police car, Hu Tu cheered Yang Qiao vigorously, but Yang Qiao ignored him, and his attention was all on Ma Xiaoling on the side.

Since the last time he helped Rhubarb eliminate his obsession and reincarnate, Ma Xiaoling seemed to be weird when he looked at himself, not as casual as before, and seemed to be a little more estranged.

In this regard, Yang Qiao knew that the secret method he showed with the spiritual power of the amber yin-yang fish that night was too powerful, which shocked and even feared Ma Xiaoling, but he couldn't explain it to Ma Xiaoling about the inheritance of his master.

Perhaps, helping Hu Tu solve the police case this time can ease the relationship with Ma Xiaoling.

Yang Qiao was thinking about his heart, and Ma Xiaoling, who was sitting on the side, was also not calm.

The girl's ponytail jumped up and down with the bumps of the car, like a cheerful foal, but her face was not very pretty. Outside the car window was the speeding scenery, the sun shone on her face through the car window, half of her face was red, her face was cold, and her small mouth was slightly pouted.

Since entering the school, Ma Xiaoling's cultivation has been going smoothly, and it was not until he met Yang Qiao that he was hit for the first time. But Yang Qiao refused to say anything, so she could only keep guessing in her heart, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

The girl's eyes rolled, and she secretly looked at Yang Qiao, and found that in the past two days, Yang Qiao's temperament has changed subtly. This may ignore the past in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of her, a sword cultivator, it is extremely clear.

Yang Qiao's eyes were cleaner, brighter, and more confident, and there was an indescribable mysterious power in his gestures.

Ma Xiaoling became even more curious in her heart, she felt that the "qi" exuded from Yang Qiao's body was even stronger, and her cultivation speed was increasing day by day.

The girl pursed her lips, determined to take this opportunity to take a good look, and must find out what Yang Qiao's origin is, how many Feng Shui Xuanmen secret techniques he has mastered, and what level of cultivation he has reached.

Without clarity, her intense curiosity will make it difficult for her to sleep.

The other people in the car naturally didn't know the little secret between Yang Qiao and Ma Xiaoling, Hu Tu kept chatting with the police uncle in the car, and Yan Yan was holding a teddy bear and dragging his nose against the car window in a daze, like an autistic child.

Hu Tu brought him with him today, most of them to say hello to his parents.

There was no word all the way, and after about half an hour, the police car arrived at its destination. This is an old town located next to the long-distance bus station, because of its proximity to the bus station, many private houses here have been converted into small hotels.

Zhu Yuchen took Hu Tu, Yang Qiao and others out of the car, got into an alley in the old area and walked around for a few minutes, and came to a small hotel.

Here, everyone feels the change in atmosphere.

It was sunny and hot in the middle of summer before I came in, but in the alleys, especially in front of this hotel, I suddenly felt a sense of cold and solemnity on my face.

There was a cordon around the hotel, and there were plainclothes policemen guarding the surroundings, and when they saw Zhu Yuchen and them, one of them came up in plainclothes to say hello, and then looked at Zhu Yuchen's documents, and asked Yang Qiao about their origins, and then let them in.

"There is a case here, but the news can't be released for the time being, so it's loose on the outside and tight on the inside. Zhu Yuchen took Hu Tu and Yang Qiao and them across the cordon and walked into the hotel, not forgetting to go back and explain.

At this time, Zhu Yuchen simply told everyone about the case, in fact, before this, Hu Tu had not heard the full version, but just by a few words, he deduced that this case was tricky, so he did not hesitate to pull Yang Qiao and them to help.

"About three days ago, someone called the police to say that there was a murder here, and at first it was just the ordinary police in charge of this area who intervened, but after going to the scene to investigate, they immediately found that the matter was more serious than expected, so the case was transferred to us. This matter may be related to the 'cult', and it is more tricky......"

Zhu Yuchen's words had to be temporarily interrupted at this point, because he was almost at the scene of the crime.

In front of it is an old vermilion lacquered wooden door, and at first glance you can tell that it is the kind of pheasant hotel that has been converted from an old private house, because it is next to the long-distance station, and there is usually no shortage of business here. It's just that at this moment, looking at the two expressionless plainclothes policemen standing left and right at the door, it always makes people feel that there is something ominous hidden behind the gate.

Tick ......

Overhead, a few droplets of cloudy water dripped from the faded lime walls.

The corners of Yang Qiao's eyes moved slightly, and he faintly felt something in his heart.

He couldn't put this intuition into words, as if his intuition about things had become more and more acute since the foundation had been completed the other day.

Zhu Yuchen said a few words briefly to the plainclothes at the door, and then turned around and explained to Yang Qiao and them: "We have cleaned up the scene here, there is nothing scary, but I still have to explain to a few children who come for the first time, the atmosphere may be heavy, you should be mentally prepared, don't be scared." ”

His words were mainly to Yang Qiao, Ma Xiaoling, and Yan Yan, as for Hu Tu, although he is young, he has cooperated with the police many times, and he has already refined a big heart, so there is no need to remind him.

A plainclothes man by the door pushed the paint peeling door open, and there was a damp and moldy smell coming to his face, as if he had opened the door of a refrigerator and there was some food in it that was rotten and sour.

Zhu Yuchen took the lead and walked in, Hu Tu threw a "I am here, rest assured" look at Yang Qiao and them, and followed in.

Then there was Ma Xiaoling, and finally Yang Qiao took Yan Yan, Yan Yan was the youngest here, and Yang Qiao subconsciously protected him.

As soon as they entered the room, everyone froze for a moment.

It's not because there's anything horrible in the room, on the contrary, it's very ordinary, with a bed, an old TV and a few chairs in the small room, it doesn't look special, but—

There are a lot of strange symbols written on the gray mottled walls, densely packed from the wall to the ceiling, and it makes your scalp tingle to look at.

"What is this?"

Hu Tu blinked his mung bean eyes and asked.

Zhu Yuchen gave a warning to the other torturer who came in together: "Xiao Wang, you tell them." ”

The policeman named Xiao Wang nodded and coughed slightly: "These symbols should be numbers." ”

Digit?

Yang Qiao and Yan Yan were attracted, and stepped forward at the same time, and at this glance, they really saw some clues. On the walls, on the floor, and on the ceiling, people wrote down numbers with black pens, some as big as fists, some as small as mosquitoes.

The numbers look unusually messy, as if there is no pattern, there are seven, six, two, one, twenty-four, thirty-six, and so on.

Hu Tu shook his head at these numbers, he was a genius in logical reasoning, but he didn't have much research on numbers, his eyes swept and he began to observe other noteworthy details in the room, and asked Zhu Yuchen and Xiao Wang further about the situation of the case.

"Was the tenant killed? How can these numbers have anything to do with a cult?"

"After receiving the report, our police people immediately rushed here, originally thinking it was just an ordinary case, but when our people arrived, they saw the unbelievable situation with their own eyes with the informant. ”

"What's the situation?" Ma Xiaoling had been paying attention to Yang Qiao, and when he heard it, he couldn't help but interject and ask.

"The body is gone. Xiao Wang's voice was heavy.

Belch?

All eyes were on his face, the body was gone, what was the situation?

Zhu Yuchen added with a wry smile on the side: "To be precise, the corpse disappeared under the noses of our case-handling personnel, which made several of our brothers think that they had encountered ghosts, they had never been in contact with this kind of case before, and now they have been given a gag order and are undergoing psychological intervention." ”

Yang Qiao, the fat man Hu Tu, and Ma Xiaoling glanced at each other, and they needed psychological intervention, which showed that they were scared at that time.

"Can you tell us more about the situation? ”

"I've got a transcript here for you to see. Police officer Xiao Wang said, took out a transcript from his bag and handed it to Hu Tu.

After the fat man saw it, his expression obviously became a little more solemn.

Yang Qiao took the transcript from his hand and looked at it roughly, and the shocking situation made his heart sink.

"On September 16, I received a call from the police and went to the scene of the crime with my colleague Zhou Xing, who was a tenant who, according to him, had been killed at a long-distance bus station.

We rushed to the scene and found bodies and blood stains. When the forensic doctor was called to prepare for the evidence, something strange happened, the corpse in the room melted, no, it seemed to have been swallowed by something, the corpse sank, and sank into the ground with the blood and could not see anything. Then a lot of numbers appeared in the room from the floor to the ceiling, as if there was an invisible hand drawing the numbers little by little...... We're going to go crazy......"

According to the content of this record, it is indeed a very terrible thing, just imagine the environment at that time, the scene of the murder, the corpse was "devoured", and the strange number appeared in front of me little by little, it was that people would have a mental breakdown.

No wonder Officer Zhu would say that he was a bit suspicious of a cult, and this process was a bit like a "sacrifice" of some kind of cult, Yang Qiao had only seen it on TV and books before, and had never touched it with his own eyes.

Now that I am in this environment, I feel both nervous and excited.
