Volume 8: The Silence of the Lambs (11)
Fang Enyi's words almost made Di Bingqiao roll off the sofa with laughter, this stupid kid listened to the rumors somewhere, and regarded them as the kind of professional ghost catchers in the TV series - it's just nonsense, their business is obviously much more extensive, and the composition of the personnel is also varied, okay!
"We're not Taoists," in a sense, it's their natural enemies who catch ghosts and collect demons, but in this era, those who don't break the law can coexist peacefully, and there are still a lot of Taoist priests who are caught by demons and imprisoned, "Don't think so much, our profession is the same as yours, and the work we do is similar, it's just that the names are different, what do you listen to their nonsense?" After asking, Di Bingqiao wanted to laugh again, in fact, compared to other departments, the police station is the human realm department with the most cooperation from the Spirit Law Enforcement Department, especially those police officers who are responsible for solving cases, they are more or less exposed to this aspect of things, and they also know that there will be a special department that will take over some strange cases, so they contact the relevant personnel, say some things in the supernatural world or let them assist in completing some tasks, these are all within the scope of the conditions, just pay attention to proportion, the other party will also have relevant confidentiality treatiesγ
"No ......" Fang Enyi rubbed his nose, feeling embarrassed to say bad things behind his back and then caught red-handed.
"If you don't say it, I know what they said," Di Bingqiao touched his chin, "I can't say it's wrong, it's just too exaggerated, we also rely on a lot of human high-tech to complete the task, just a spell can be done That's the plot of the novel, of course, we are not saving the world at any time, like catching thieves or something, we have to take care of it, but we are all citizens of the supernatural world." "The field service team of the General Office has also caught a lot of cross-border thieves.
"Is that so?" Fang Enyi was quite surprised by Di Bingqiao's words, listening to the words of those seniors in the bureau who gave him "popular science", and described the people who were going to take over their work as if they were immortals, the so-called newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, Fang Enyi still didn't believe in these gods and ghosts, and he was quite unconvinced that his case was snatched away, so he didn't care about the colleagues who tried to drag him to death, and ran directly to see the people in the field team of the general office. In fact, when he first entered the door, at first glance, he felt that these two people seemed to be nothing special except for one with a little facial paralysis and the other with a little beauty, but when he heard Di Bingqiao say it again, he was a little dazed again-could it be that another strange world really exists, but it is not much different from theirs? So why is the case so clearly distinguished?
"Can you ......" Fang Enyi paused, thinking that his request might be presumptuous, "What can you use to prove your ability?"
Di Bingqiao was stunned for a moment before he realized what he meant, smiled, and said, "Do you still want to continue to investigate Wei Lan's case?"
ββ¦β¦ Well," Fang Enyi was embarrassed, but his expression was very firm, "If you can't prove that you have to find out the truth of this case, then I will also join your investigation, even if I am just a very ordinary human being, but human beings can do a lot of things." He didn't just want to prove his ability, he also hoped that if he encountered this kind of thing that belonged to another world next time, he could also help a little, and transfer it from them to the Spiritual Security Bureau, this is a process that is not slow but not fast, saving people is like fighting fires, it can't be delayed for a minute, just like He Xiaocan, who is now lying on the coroner's bench, he feels that if he has more skills, maybe the little girl will not die.
After Di Bingqiao listened to his words, he stared at Fang Enyi for a long time, then shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I can't prove it to you." β
"What?" Fang Enyi was also stunned, he felt that if the two people in front of him really had unusual strength, they should not hesitate to show their strength - given that many people would feel that they were superior to others if they had superpowers, it was a natural inflated desire brought about by power.
"There is no point in proving this, young man," the beautiful dryad said to him with an upright face, "Many humans are very powerful, and many of them are still helping us, whether they have special abilities or not, because there are some things that we are not good at. We respect every human being, strong or weak, living beings are equal, I also believe that human beings can do a lot of things, but your ancestors said that there is a specialization in the art industry, we are just doing our job, and it is useless to prove it, as if there are gods in the head, but if you don't believe it, then they don't exist, and it is like the police in many circles think that we are deceitful, which is a matter of opinion. β
Besides, the human world and the supernatural world are not yet to the point where they can merge with each other and be honest with each other, and when the spiritual logistics department is dealing with the aftermath, they often have to find a random reason to cover up the anomalies exposed to people, so why do they have to work so hard to prove it?
Fang Enyi didn't know Di Bingqiao's inner complaints, and after listening to her words, he only felt that their actions were quite high-spirited and chic-this is a fog, you have been fooled in the year of the sao--the discomfort in his heart has also gone to eight out of ten, but he is still entangled in one question: "Can I really not participate in your investigation?"
The result of "......" still couldn't fool the past, Di Bingqiao felt that he was so sorry that Lin Yingkong had been exposed to them over the years, and Di Bingqiao, who tried to "influence" him by the angel in white, could only twitch the corners of his mouth and said: "It's not for me to decide, my leader may also come over, you can talk about it then." "Please be sure to let Assistant Lin personally go out to stun him!
Fang Enyi also wanted to ask about their leadership, because he always felt that Di Bingqiao's expression was strange, just at this time, Derpy and Ding Youlan rushed over from He Village, they came for Wei Lan's crime scene, and they also brought their own lunch and dessert for Di Bingqiao, as soon as they entered the door, they saw Di Bingqiao waving to them warmly as if they had seen a savior, as if they hadn't seen each other for half a month.
Derpy and Ding Youlan: "......" didn't know why their first reaction was to call the minister and assistant Lin.
And Fang Enyi's first reaction was to ask Di Bingqiao: "Are you taking interns out to handle cases?"
Derpy and Ding Youlan: "......" you are only an intern, and your whole family is an intern!
"Ahem, let me introduce you, this is Officer Fang Enyi, he and He Shou are the first people to find the scene of Wei Lan's death, Derpy, remember to make a record for him after you finish eating. Di Bingqiao coughed a few times to divert their attention, it doesn't matter if you offend Ding Youlan, this is a natural stay, it will be miserable to offend Derpy, he is staying in the depths of the natural dark, and a human being will be killed by him!
"The first discoverer...... the adult version of Derpy blinked a pair of eyes, and the "bang" retracted back to the original children's version, and ran to Fang Enyi, holding his chin with both hands, propping his elbows on his knees, and looking up at him innocently: "Brother Fang, you have to cooperate with my work~"
Fang Enyi, who witnessed the great transformation of the living person, was petrified, and was then taken by Derpy like this, and the "Kara" was shattered with a sound: "...... "Mom, there are monsters here!
Di Bingqiao: "......" So all the fooling work she did just now was in vain?
β¦β¦
After eating a late lunch, Feng Rong and Lin Yingkong did not leave He Village, but casually changed their clothes, put on a pair of flat glasses, and walked directly around this urban village, with headphones hanging on their ears, not listening to songs, but listening to the movements of He's house - they visited He's house before leaving, and left the bugging device there.
Although the death of the four members of the He family cannot be determined to be done by the same murderer for the time being, if the assumption is that half a month ago He Quan had a car accident, a week later his eldest son He Xiaoliang fell on the stairs and died, the day before yesterday Wei Lan was strangled to death in the witness protection room, and finally his second daughter He Xiaocan drowned yesterday, the cycle of the death of the He family is getting shorter and shorter, and the murderer is likely to become more and more crazy, if he still wants to kill, then the situation of the rest of the He family is dangerous, and the people in the field team of the General Office are better to squat nearby, but the He family has trouble going to work and class, and Feng Rong has prepared to install a tracker and a bug on each of themγ
Feng Rong opened a strange software with his mobile phone in his hand, pretending to inadvertently swipe it to a person on the side of the road, and the words "Cat Demon, a legal temporary resident of Hecun" were displayed on the screen, and the other party's information was recorded in a special folder, if it was the local supernatural beings in Hecun who committed an accident this time, then it would be much easier to find them.
Lin Yingkong flipped through the things recorded in the notebook as he walked, and said, "It's the person He Quan insulted who is the most suspicious, but we don't have any clues about her at hand." β
"What about He Xiaoliang and He Xiaocan's mother?" Feng Rong asked.
Lin Yingkong took out his mobile phone again and looked at it, showing that there was a new email that had not been checked, he opened the content and looked at it for a while, and said: "One of them is in City A and the other is in City D, they are married and they are doing well, and they have no record of going out of the market for nearly three years, and they are basically cut off from here." "And those two cities are also not a short distance from N City.
"Then there is no need to bother them, if life is going well, it is a very low probability to avenge what happened more than ten years ago," Feng Rong said, he thought for a while, "Can you find He Quan's fox friends and ask them which woman He Quan has been close to recently, or who has more contacts." β
Lin Yingkong blinked, "It could also be a man." β
Seal: "...... Oh. β
Lin Yingkong suddenly noticed that the pocket on the right side of his coat was a little bulging, vaguely in the shape of a jewelry box, he thought about it, and didn't remember that he was carrying such a thing on his body before Feng Rong, so he asked casually: "Minister, what did you buy when you went shopping by yourself just now?"
Feng Rong's footsteps paused slightly, "Uh......"
"Huh?" Lin Yingkong asked casually just now, but now he was aroused by his reaction, "Is it a good thing?" After asking, Lin Yingkong suddenly remembered that the minister used to buy good things for Baili Mengyan, although people always refused to accept them, but Lin Yingkong's mood suddenly became delicate.
Feng Rong didn't notice that his assistant's thinking turned to the unknown direction, touched his nose, turned sideways and stopped on the side of the road, took out a palm-sized wooden box from his pocket and handed it to him, as if the wind was breezy and said: "I saw it when I visited that antique store, and I thought it was okay, so I bought it." β
ββ¦β¦ Oh," Lin Yingkong took it and opened it to take a look, and was originally attracted by the things in the box absent-mindedly, it was a jade jade pendant, about the same size as a one-yuan coin, the jade quality is not very precious, but it is a naturally formed droplet-shaped, almost no traces that need to be carved, there is a familiar spiritual power flowing in it, like flowing water in the pendant gently turning and swaying, Lin Yingkong felt something, picked it up and took a look, there was actually a very strange but beautiful text printed on the back, he had never seen it, but this was not the pendant itself, but it was engraved by Fengrong with spiritual power, and a defensive formation was sealed in, which can defend the owner of the wearing it against a deadly attack. This can be regarded as a magic weapon made by Feng Rong himself, Lin Yingkong put him back in the box with some reluctance, closed the lid again, and returned it to the other party, "...... Well, very delicate little things. β
Who knew that Feng Rong didn't take it, just looked at him fixedly, and then drifted his gaze to another place, as if inadvertently, after a second, he looked at him again, his eyes drifted away again, but he didn't speak.
The other party's behavior was a little strange, Lin Yingkong kept the action of handing the box for half a minute and didn't see him take it back, so he looked at him inquiringly, who knew that Feng Rong's head was slightly tilted, and he didn't plan to look at him at all, Lin Yingkong suddenly realized something, and his eyes widened, "This is what the minister sent me?"
Feng Rong touched his nose again, almost holding the words in his mouth, "I haven't given you anything, this will be ...... at once" For a period of time after the two confirmed their relationship, Lin Yingkong, who was overly excited, gave him a gift every day, all of which he didn't dare to give away before and secretly hid it, Feng Rong never thought of what to give him, and when he happened to see this pendant today, he couldn't help but buy it directly, and left his mark on it on a whim.
Thinking that Lin Yingkong was wearing his mark on his body, the minister felt a little shy, as if he was marking his belongings, so he didn't directly say that it was for Lin Yingkong......
And Feng Rong was busy soothing his careful thoughts at this end, Lin Yingkong on the other side was almost crazy, he really didn't expect Feng Rong to buy things for himself, anyway, he had long been desperate for the minister's emotional intelligence, and when he suddenly came out like this today, Assistant Lin said that his little heart was a little unbearable.
"Don't you like it?" Seeing that he was dumbfounded and holding the box without moving, Feng Rong asked with some puzzlement.
"How is it possible!" Lin Yingkong immediately reacted and retracted his hand sharply, holding the box as if he was protecting food, glaring at him, "Minister, you gave it to me, you can't take it back!"
Feng Rong couldn't cry or laugh, "If you like it, why should I take it back?" Even if he doesn't like it, he can't take it back, he bought it for him after all.
"Of course I like it!!" Lin Yingkong pounced on him again, touched the box with affection, his eyes were shining, which was completely different from his usual gentle and calm appearance, and he was almost covered in pink bubbles flying around, "This is a promise gift from you, minister, I must hide him well." β
"......" Feng Rong was sure that his assistant was not disliking it but was stupid, and said helplessly: "What are you doing hiding it?" He gave it to him, except for the reason of that and that, he just wanted to put it on him to keep him safe.
"That's right, how can the minister's gift to me be hidden, I will find a rope of spider silk at night and string it close to my body~!" Lin Yingkong felt that this was a good idea, and his expression was joyful, and he had the meaning of wearing low-necked clothes to show off his blind single dog eyes in the future.
Feng Rong was even more helpless, dragging his arm and continuing to walk, the two men standing here stupidly were too eye-catching, and Lin Yingkong's IQ was knocked off by his gift, and he couldn't return his soul for the time being, so he would have waited for the end of the waiting period to give it to him...... Thinking so, the corners of the minister's mouth were still inadvertently hooked.
However, the sweet atmosphere of the two people was quickly interrupted, and a person who hurriedly walked near them attracted the attention of the two, Lin Yingkong was slightly surprised for a moment when he noticed the corner of his eyes, and naturally turned sideways to cover Feng Rong's face, Feng Zheng looked up at a high signboard, as if he was aware of it, his movements naturally retracted, his lips barely moved, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Lin Yingkong only said three words: "Wear a lining." β
