The meal was eaten until more than nine o'clock in the evening, Xu Yan was with him, and he was still unsatisfied, but Xiuzhi came out to beat the mandarin ducks, and he looked at the watch on his wrist: "Yo, unconsciously, it's already past nine o'clock - everyone is having a lot of fun tonight, why don't you get here first?"

Since Xiuzhi has spoken, everyone says yes, yes, there is no banquet in the world, so let's eat and disperse like this. Even though Xu Yan was still a little reluctant to Zhao Yanran, everyone said so, and it was not easy for him to pull Zhao Yanran to stay.

The two ladies retired first, Xu Yan wanted to send Zhao Yanran out, but Xiuzhi stopped him: "Brother Yan, don't bother, just let the people in the club send them out - Miss Zhao, Sister Guo, I'm sorry, we still have something to talk about, so I'm rude to you." ”

Zhao Yanran and Sister Guo hurriedly said It doesn't matter, Director, you are busy with important matters, so you don't have to be polite and troublesome.

Zhao Yanran and Sister Guo were gone, Xu Yan originally thought that Xiuzhi deliberately left him behind, so he had something important to say to himself, but he waited for a while, but Xiuzhi didn't say anything important, just asked Xu Yan about the details of killing Wang Zhongmao today, and his expression was a little serious: "Brother, I have seen today's scene, that Wang Zhongmao, he died a very strange death! He was split in half from top to bottom-brother, I can't see it, you are still a master of the Daguan knife!" The forensic doctor said that he can chop a person neatly from top to bottom like this, this kind of slashing method is not something that ordinary people can do, it requires very terrifying arm strength and sharp blades, and the big saber or hundred knife of the ancient fierce generals may be able to do this, but how to do it in the room, our forensic doctor can't think of anything. ”

Xu Yan hesitated slightly, but Xiuzhi waved his hand: "Brother, let's just chat, I won't ask you." You don't have to bother to make up lies to fool me, you have some private secrets, I know, but who doesn't have secrets?

All I know is. You are a good brother of our cultivation, righteous enough and a friend enough, and risk your life to help me at a critical time, and that's enough! Those private secrets, you don't want to say. Let's keep it. When you want to say it, just tell me again. ”

Xiu Zhi said very openly and thoroughly, Xu Yan was also relaxed, he raised his glass and saluted: "Brother has always taken good care of me - I will do it first as a respect!"

Xiu Zhi also raised his glass and drank it all happily, he smiled: "Yan, you said the opposite, it's you who have been taking care of me! Last time, you saved my family's master, this time." You saved my old life! I will never thank you for your great kindness, and I will always remember this great grace for saving my life!"

Then, Xiu Zhi's words turned sharp, but he frowned and asked: "But, Yan, we won't talk about your business, but there is another thing that really makes me wonder." I really can't figure it out......"

Xu Yan had expected it, and he said in a deep voice: "Brother, you want to ask me, Wang Zhongmao's mutation, right?"

Xiuzhi nodded solemnly: "Indeed! From the time Wang Zhongmao escaped our control to the time he was killed, it was only a matter of days. Although he was hacked to death by you, the changes in his body shape and appearance can still be seen, and our investigators and medical examiners are all surprised, this is simply another person-oh. No, it's simply not human anymore!"

Xu Yan shook his head: "I didn't mean to hide anything, but there are some things, even if I say it, I'm afraid that no one will believe it, so as not to shock the world, I simply won't say it." ”

Xiu Zhi slowly took out a cigarette from the cigarette case, lit it leisurely, and clipped it in his hand, he smiled: "Light a cigarette first, and then listen to you—okay, Iwa, you can't scare me to death, you say!"

Xiu Zhi pretended to be weird, and Xu Yan also smiled: "Brother, I want to ask you a question first." ”

"Well, you ask. ”

"When we first met, I told you that all these F virus patients now, in fact, they are not sick at all nor have they been infected with biochemical viruses, they have been possessed by demons from other worlds-what do you think of this statement?"

Hearing Xu Yan bring up the old things again, Xiu Zhi frowned slightly, and he said, "Yan, of course I remember what you said." I also remember that I told you at that time that if you want to be convincing with your theory, you must come up with more and more convincing ideas, otherwise, if I report to the boss like this, the boss will only make my brain water!"

"It's been more than a month since then, isn't it evidence?"

Xiu Zhi shook his head: "Yan, your conclusion is shocking, if you want people to believe it, you need to supplement it with more substantial evidence, and you need to form a tighter chain of evidence and logic." This is to report to the central authorities' conclusions, and the current evidence alone is still a little thin and cannot fully prove your theory.

Yan, I know that in the past month or so, you have made a great contribution to the elimination of several tricky targets, including Wang Zhongmao, in Xiangcheng, on the plane - but this can only prove that you are an excellent and powerful warrior, and you are very good at destroying those mad monsters, but it cannot prove that your theory is correct, brother. ”

Xiuzhi said it in a wordy manner, but Xu Yan was not stupid, he heard the meaning of Xiuzhi's words, and he sighed: "Actually, brother, you don't believe my statement, right?"

Xiu Zhi also smiled, he said: "There are only my two brothers here, open the skylight and say bright words, I am really suspicious of your theory, brother." After all, since I was a child, I have been influenced by the theory of materialist education, and it is really a bit difficult to accept your superstitious theory of ghosts, ghosts, gods and gods. However, as long as there is more evidence in the future, I may be able to accept it step by step, brother.

Brother, when you suddenly mentioned this, do you think that Wang Zhongmao's mutation has something to do with this matter?"

Xu Yan nodded: "Brother, I think that if you accept my theory and explain this, it will not be difficult - it is true that the inside is naturally the outside, since Wang Zhongmao's inner soul has been taken away, then his external form will naturally gradually mutate, and the whole person will begin to move closer to the monster."

I even wondered if Wang Zhongmao's impatient escape from prison would be because. He already had a hunch of his own, knowing that the changes in his own appearance would become more and more obvious, and he was approaching a tipping point, next. He won't be able to hide his changes, so he'll have no choice but to take the risk of escaping!"

Xiuzhi's thick eyebrows frowned, and he said softly: "However, we have some experts...... Belch. It is the one you know, Professor Yu from Huhai, who believes that the mutation of Wang Zhongmao's body is strong evidence that he has been infected by a special biological virus...... Because of the virus, his body and limbs have mutated, which has a precedent in biology and medicine. ”

Mother Xu secretly scolded - how can this Professor Yu be similar to the legendary General Zhang of the Battle Call Bureau? Some people, they can think of things differently every time, and they can pick the wrong side every time they choose. That's a great skill!

Shuyuki frowned deeply, he took a long puff of cigarette, slowly exhaled the smoke ring, and stared at the night scene in the garden outside the window, obviously falling into deep thought. At this time, someone knocked on the door of the private room, and Xiuzhi raised his head and shouted, "Come in!"

The door of the private room was opened, and the smiling fat manager Mr. Hao appeared at the door again, and he stood at the door and smiled: "Sir." I've got it for you—is it for you now?"

Xiuzhi nodded: "Take it in." ”

Manager Hao approached quickly, respectfully placed a small box on the dining table, and then, he said, "Sir." I won't bother you and the VIP, and the two of you will talk slowly. ”

Seeing Manager Hao go out and disappear at the door, Xiu Zhi let out a sigh, and he said to Xu Yan: "Brother Yan, don't tell others what you just said." I'll think about it for a while. Brother, you've worked hard too, let's not talk about work tonight, let's talk about something lighter. Brother, don't go back tonight, just rest on the club, the rooms on the club, the facilities are also very complete, not worse than the star hotel. ”

"Brother, I'd better go back to the hotel and rest......"

Before Xu Yan finished speaking, Xiuzhi had already interrupted him, and he said to Xu Yan seriously and meaningfully: "Brother, you just listen to my brother's arrangement: tonight, you will sleep here! Okay, don't say any more, listen to me!"

Shocked by the solemn tone in Xiu's words, Xu Yan said in surprise: "Brother, why did you let me live here tonight?" He thought for a moment and asked suspiciously: "Could it be that tonight is anything special, brother, you need me to stay here and be on standby at any time?"

For a while, Xiu Zhi's face showed a ridiculous expression, and he smiled and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, Brother Yan, you are right, there is indeed a special task here tonight, and you can't do it." ”

"Ah, is it still about those monsters??"

"Well, brother, don't ask more, someone will naturally explain the details of the task to you at that time, and at that time, you will naturally understand. Take this first. As he spoke, he directly picked up the carton on the table that Manager Hao had just brought over and stuffed it into Xu Yan's hand: "This is the key to the room, you take it—let's go, we should go out too." ”

The two of them walked out of the box together, and in the hall outside, Xiuzhi called a waiter: "You take this gentleman to room 08 - brother, I'll go back first, you can rest in peace." When you get up tomorrow, the club will arrange a car to take you back to the hotel. ”

Xu Yan stopped, and he looked at Xiuzhi suspiciously: "Brother, aren't you going to rest together?"

Hearing Xu Yan's words, Xiu Zhi's face once again showed that strange expression, he seemed to be choked by something, and coughed dryly: "Ahem, I-I still have some things, I won't go...... It's good that you have a good rest on your own. ”

"What should you do if you don't go to the mission?"

"It's okay, someone will contact you then, and you'll know. You can rest in peace and don't worry about anything else. By the way, your friend Miss Zhu, I will call her guest room and tell her that you are working overtime tonight and can't go back, so you don't have to worry about it - okay, that's it, you have a good rest, I'll go back first!"

Seeing Xiu Zhi leave in a hurry, Xu Yan's eyes showed suspicion: Seeing that Xiu Zhi walked in such a hurry, as if there was a ghost chasing him behind him—what was he panicking about? What was he worried about?

Before Xu Yan could think about it, the waiter had already politely reminded him: "Hello, this gentleman, are you going to room 08?"

"Yes, please take me there. ”

"Okay, please come with me. ”

The waiter took Xu Yan away from the main building, got into an electric caravan at the entrance of the main building, and drove down the small garden in the garden. Xu Yan realized that from the outside, the courtyard was not very big, but in fact, the area inside was really not small—as far as he could see on the tram, he had passed a tennis court, a swimming pool, and several villas of unknown purpose. The night is hazy, the whole club is shrouded in a faint haze, the kerosene lamps on the side of the club are exuding a faint halo, which seems elegant and quiet, and the trees, flowers and buildings along the way are shrouded in a faint warm atmosphere.

The tram drove for four or five minutes before sending Xu Yan to a small villa in a remote corner. The waiter got out of the car first, and he told Xu Yan very politely: "Sir, room 08 has arrived, and it is here." ”

Xu Yan got out of the car and looked at the small villa in front of him, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth - when he heard that it was a "guest room", he thought it was a room in the hotel, but he didn't expect it to be such a separate small villa. Before he could come to his senses, the waiter was already very polite, and told him: "Sir, if you need to go out for service, you can call the main desk at any time, we are on standby twenty-four hours a day, and there is a car to pick you up at any time—sir, if you have no other instructions, I will take my leave." ”

"Oh, good. ”

Seeing the waiter disappear into the green path in an electric caravan, Xu Yan turned around and walked towards the small building. Xu Yan opened the door with the door card in the box, went straight to the door, and stood in the hall.

The sensor light of the room is automatically on, the decoration of the living room is very good, it is the kind of warm wall, fabric sofa and coffee table, clean furnishings, the layout of the room seems very warm, it does not look like a hotel room, but like a private room.

Xu Yan glanced around and frowned slightly: he noticed that there were some signs in the room that it had been moved—there was a pair of shoes missing from the shoe cover, only an empty shoe bag, and a slight wrinkle and messiness on the carpet, which all showed that someone had just entered the room, and the other party had not left yet.

Xu Yan glanced at the empty staircase, and wondered in his heart: Is there anyone upstairs? Is the service staff of the club still cleaning the room?

Immediately, Xu Yan overturned his idea - it could not be the cleaning staff of the hotel. With such a high-end clubhouse, it is impossible for them to make such a low-level mistake and arrange a villa that is still being cleaned for people to live in.

If it's not a cleaning staff, is it a thief or something? Is it a trap for yourself?

Xu Yan was vigilant, he touched the gun in his armpit clothes with his backhand, and tiptoed upstairs, cautiously. When he went up to the second floor, he saw that the bedroom room was slightly hidden, and the light came out of the crack in the door, indicating that the light was on in the room. Xu Yan held the handle of the gun, ready to draw the gun at any time, and then carefully pushed the door open.

Pushing open the door, Xu Yan was stunned, he saw that a young girl was sitting on the edge of the bed in the room, combing her hair by the lamp. The woman was also startled when she heard the sound of the door being pushed, and she cried out, "Who is it?" and at the same time quickly got up and stood up quickly.

For a while, Xu Yan and the woman looked at each other, and Xu Yan was stunned for a moment: Isn't the young girl with her hair in front of her the idol star Zhao Yanran who had just eaten with her? )
