"Hello, is it Comrade Jian Tianyuan?"

Jian Tianyuan took the phone and heard the other party's name, subconsciously took the phone a little farther away and looked at the number on it, saw that it was an unfamiliar number, and put the phone to his ear and said, "Well, yes, who are you?"

"My surname is Dong, I don't know if it's inconvenient for you to come out to see me, I have encountered some things......"

The other party was a man's voice, it didn't sound young, but it was full of energy, although he was a little hesitant when he spoke, Jian Tianyuan asked cautiously, "Where did you get my phone from?"

The other end of the phone seemed to be a little embarrassed, and quickly explained: "It was given to me by a comrade-in-arms of mine, he encountered that thing before, and said that you solved it, so he introduced it to me." ”

After listening to the other party's explanation, Jian Tianyuan realized that it was a new customer introduced by an old customer, at this time, colleague A passed by his desk with a bunch of materials, he smiled and said hello, stood up with the phone and walked out, and said in a low voice: "Yes, you can send me the time and place." ”

"Okay, I'll edit the text message to you right away, I hope to see you as much as possible. The other party's voice was a little urgent.

"Yes, then tonight, I have time after six o'clock, you send me the address. Jian Tianyuan stood in the corridor with his mobile phone, took out a box of cigarettes from his pocket and said.

"Okay, thanks. The other party politely thanked him and hung up the phone.

Jian Tianyuan put away his mobile phone, knocked out a cigarette, lit it in his mouth, took a deep breath, spit out a smoke ring, and looked at the white wall of the corridor to think about something.

It's been almost half a month since I came back from the general's mound, and Tumen Qing looked a little weird that day, and he went home without even saying hello, and there has been no news so far, and I don't know if something happened. At this time, the mobile phone in my pocket rang, I picked it up and looked at it, there was a text message, I clicked on it and looked at it, and the place where the other party made an appointment was not far from here, so I put the mobile phone back in my pocket again.

Tumenqing's strength is much higher than him, and his family has money, what can he do? Thinking so, he took another puff of cigarette, looked at the time, pressed the cigarette butt on the garbage can, and turned back to the office.

The place I made an appointment was a teahouse in a small alley in the high-tech zone. When I got off work, the road was not easy to walk, the car was blocked, and I arrived at the place more than ten minutes late. Jian Tianyuan stood in the teahouse and made a phone call, and heard a phone ringing by the window on the left, where a man of about fifty years old was sitting, the man saw him and waved to him, Jian Tianyun hung up the phone and walked over, sat opposite him and said, "Hello, I'm Jian Tianyuan." ”

The man is very tough, the slightly drooping corners of his mouth and the wrinkles between his eyebrows prove that this person is a relatively strict person, and he is still well maintained in his fifties, and there are no symptoms of fat, which means that he pays great attention to taking care of or engaging in some work that requires physical fitness, and I only heard him say: "Hello, my surname is Dong, thank you Mr. Jian for taking the time to see me." The man seemed reluctant to reveal his full name, only his surname, and his demeanor was like a leader's speech, and his words were polite and official, indicating that he was not a flat-headed person.

Jian Tianyuan asked for a cup of hairy tips, blew the tea leaves on the surface of the water, and said, "Mr. Dong, did you encounter something when you asked me to come?"

Mr. Dong didn't seem to expect his straightforwardness, raised his eyes to look at him, and then said after a moment of silence: "Yes, we investigated a disappearance case a while ago, and then all the people involved in the case died inexplicably. ”

Jian Tianyuan's hand was scalded by the hot tea, he quietly put down the glass, took back the hot red hand, and didn't make a sound, waiting for this Mr. Dong to finish speaking.

"There were twelve of us in the group, and now it was just me and one other colleague, and the others were dead. ”

"Oh?" Jian Tianyuan listened carefully, and at the right time to let the other party continue, he changed his sitting posture and looked at this Mr. Dong. Those who can come to him must have encountered evil spirits, but after looking around, they didn't find that there was no evil spirit around this Mr. Dong, but his forehead was smooth, his face was ruddy, and he was full of energy.

At this time, the waiter wearing a Chinese-style buckle costume came over with a pot of tea, the two were silent in tacit understanding, Jian Tianyuan took the teapot, skillfully poured a cup and handed it to Mr. Dong, Mr. Dong stretched out his hands to take it, who knew that Jian Tianyuan accidentally shook his hand, and some hot water spilled on the back of Mr. Dong's hand.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just didn't hold it steady. Jian Tianyuan hurriedly apologized, took out a few tissues and handed them to Mr. Dong, his face was full of apologies, but his eyes were staring at Mr. Dong's hand intentionally or unintentionally.

Mr. Dong took it and wiped it dry, the hot place on the back of his hand was slightly red, and he casually crumpled it into a ball and put it aside and said, "It's okay." ”

Jian Tianyuan poured a new cup and pushed it in front of him, and Mr. Dong pulled the teacup, put it in his hand and said thank you.

After such an experience, Mr. Dong's affection seemed to be a lot more stable, and his expression was still strict, but he spoke in a clear manner, without a word of nonsense, his hands on the table tightened, frowned, several obvious forehead lines appeared on his forehead, and he said in a low voice: " The strange thing is that these ten people were all strangled to death by themselves, except for the fingerprints of the deceased, there were no evidence clues from anyone else at the scene, if it was a normal situation, I might judge that this was a serial murder case, but this may sound unbelievable......" He said this, paused, raised his head to look at Jian Tianyuan, and saw that he was listening to himself carefully, with a smile on his face, he felt a little relieved inexplicably, and then smiled self-deprecatingly and said: " Presumably Mr. Jane has also guessed my profession, we are often exposed to homicides and all kinds of strange cases, and I don't really believe in ghosts and gods, but I have been a little suspicious lately. He took a sip from his teacup and placed it on the table, as if wondering what to say next.

Jian Tianyuan unbuttoned the cuffs of his shirt, rolled up his sleeves, and took the opportunity to observe Mr. Dong carefully, seeing that he didn't look like he was lying, but Jian Tianyuan was still very confident in his eyes, he couldn't be mistaken, this person didn't have the slightest evil energy, but he was full of yang energy, and it was impossible for ordinary imps to get close at all.

"I always had nightmares, from before the first colleague died, I couldn't sleep all night, they died in my dreams. Mr. Dong spoke very slowly, speaking more like he was giving a report, but it didn't sound like a lie, he said: "At first I dreamed that my first colleague died, and then a week later he really died......

Jian Tianyuan's heart was shocked, his body unconsciously leaned forward, his mind was concentrated, and his brain also turned rapidly.

"Then a second colleague...... All of these people appeared in my dreams, like a murder foreknowledge, and it wasn't until the tenth person was found dead in the bathroom yesterday that I asked for your phone number on the recommendation of my comrades. Mr. Dong is still talking.

Jian Tianyuan rolled up his sleeves, stretched out his arms and said, "Mr. Dong, don't move." He pinched a magic seal, put his two fingers between Mr. Dong's eyebrows, silently recited the incantation in his mouth, the tips of his fingers flashed, but the blue light was bounced back when he touched Mr. Dong's skin, he withdrew his numb hand, put it under the table, and quietly moved his wrist and said, "Is there anything else besides having nightmares?"

Mr. Dong was stunned by his question, thought for a long time, shook his head and said, "No." ”

Hearing this, Jian Tianyuan nodded and said, "I'm sorry, I can't take your list." ”

Mr. Dong didn't seem to expect him to refuse so directly, he was speechless for a while, he closed his lips tightly, there were faint fine lines on both sides of his lips, he looked at Jian Tianyuan's eyes and said, "Money is not a problem." ”

Jian Tianyuan smiled when he heard this, then sat up straight and looked into the other party's eyes and said, "It's not a matter of money." ”

"What's that?" asked Mr. Dong with a frown.

Jian Tianyuan didn't know how to answer for a while, but after thinking about it, he said: "Forgive me for my limited ability, I have never heard of this thing you encountered, and I just tested it, and I didn't find any evil qi in you, and there was no sign of evil invasion, maybe this qiē is just a coincidence?"

Mr. Dong smiled when he heard this, and said with self-deprecation and contempt in his smile: "Mr. Jian doesn't have to shirk, I thought it was all a coincidence at first, but last night I started dreaming about the death of my last colleague, and this colleague is my only son." ”

Jian Tianyuan was taken aback, and he didn't know what to say in his heart. When he looked at the imposing Mr. Dong again, he actually remembered the old man who had died in their family. He sighed and said, "Well, I'll try." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Dong said gratefully, "Thank you." ”

Jian Tianyuan leaned back weakly and said, "No need, for this matter, I can only say that I will do my best, and I hope that Mr. Dong can understand." ”

"I know, even if it...... Even if the result is not satisfactory, I still have to thank you," Mr. Dong's cold and hard lines softened, and he smiled like a loving father, "There is always a way to save him." ”

Jian Tianyuan looked at him, embarrassed, picked up the Maojian tea on the table and took a sip, and found that the water was already cold. The cold tea flowed down the esophagus into the stomach, bringing a moment of mental clarity.

Saying goodbye to Mr. Dong, Jian Tianyuan hitchhiked home alone. Shi Te, who was sitting on the sofa eating instant noodles half-human, half-demon, saw him come back, raised his head and said, "There is no business today." ”

Jian Tianyuan changed his slippers, walked into the house and said, "There is business, I have already taken it." ”

Shi Te pouted on the noodles in his mouth, raised his face from the instant noodle bowl and said, "Where did you get it from?"

"I was introduced by a former customer. Jian Tianyuan loosened his tie, went into the kitchen and poured a glass of water, saying while drinking.

"Oh, word-of-mouth is also important. Shi Te said this a little proudly, and buried his head in the instant noodle bowl again.

Jian Tianyuan sat on the sofa with a water glass, and suddenly remembered something and asked casually: "Have you ever heard of dreaming that someone is dead, and then that person is really dead?"

Shi Te finished sucking the last noodle, raised his head and drank the soup, before he replied: "I haven't heard of it, like our monsters, who do you want to die, you still need to let him dream? ”

Jian Tianyuan put down the water glass, rolled his eyes, turned around and went to the room to take a shower and change clothes alone, and Shi Te's voice behind him said: "By the way, the snake demon called in the afternoon, and hung up when I saw that you were not there." ”

"Didn't say anything?"

"No, just ask if you're there, I said no, he hung up the phone without saying a word. Shi Te held his mouth and said, listening carefully, he seemed to be a little aggrieved.

Jian Tianyuan didn't care, if he was in a hurry, he wouldn't be able to call the landline, and it didn't matter if he thought about it, so now he still focused on the list at hand and saw what it was.

After taking a shower, Jian Tianyuan sat on a chair and began to check the information. Since he came back alive from the shogun mound, he has been much more serious about spells, and he has learned a lot of new tricks during this time, but some things can't be understood overnight, and these still have to rely on the usual accumulation.

He has a small collection of books here, but a dozen of them are placed on the shelves, and now they are also very fast, and they start to look for them according to the catalog, and they have not seen any useful information after more than a dozen books have been opened.

He looked up at the ceiling in dejection, thinking of Tumen Qinglai, if he had been here, he might have known what it was.

Jian Tianyuan is a man of action, he will do it when he thinks of it. Regardless of three-seven-twenty-one, I picked up the phone and dialed the number, which rang for a long time and did not answer, and when the eleventh rang, the phone was connected.
