The calm sun was gradually approaching above the horizon, and the increasingly fierce sunlight was slanting through the steel and concrete buildings, and the temperature had become cold after being rubbed by the steel and iron bones.

I don't know if it's because those steel-cement filled cities have an icy atmosphere, the sun is cold, and human nature is gradually cold.

Shadows continue to grow as the light fades, in those unknown corners.

A young and beautiful woman hurried along, catching up with the afterglow of the setting sun, her steps were compact, and her eyes were tired, which is probably the look of most people who work in this city, and the people waiting for the bus and subway are in such a hurry, as if they want to escape from the cold streets before the darkness comes, and escape back to their comfortable nests.

The bus pulled over, and the woman got off the bus and went straight to the tall buildings.

It's a group rental apartment, the dwelling of thousands of people like them, who have come here to survive, and every old building that has lost its soul is so dim and carries countless people who come and go.

The narrow passage in the middle of the tall building is a shortcut to communication between them, although dirty, although dark, although some passages are almost filled with garbage heaps, but people still have to cover their mouths and noses and frown, with disgusted faces striding through.

The loudspeaker outside the alley shouted an irritating slogan: "When you go out, pay attention to safety, fire and theft prevention......"

The woman ignored it, wearing headphones with a loud volume on, and the propaganda slogan in the ear pinna, trying to hold on to the eardrum from being breached.

"Today I worked overtime again, and I couldn't catch up with the TV series when I went back......"

Nowadays, people have no other skills, but the ability to use two hearts is more and more skilled, while walking while typing on the mobile phone is a simple operation, that has been walked hundreds of times, are about to close their eyes can also pass, with the assistance of muscle memory, they can divide the upper and lower body into two mechas, one is responsible for walking, the other is responsible for talking and laughing.

"Jingle Bell~"

"Hey......

It is also good to concentrate, she grabbed the largest amount of red envelopes at the fastest time, although it is only a game of pennies fluctuation, but it also makes her happy.

But equally, being overly focused can lead to oversighting of things that should be easily discovered.

Or rather, danger.

In the darkness, a tall figure burst out from the side, reaching out to cover her mouth and nose without any defense, and the other strong arm firmly grabbed her arms that she was trying to break free, dragging backwards, gradually disappearing into the middle of nowhere.

All that remains is the phone on the ground face down, the light on the screen is constantly flickering, and the communication software is transmitting the thoughts of the partner on the other end.

"Shall we watch the new TV together in the evening?"

"That's right, that's right! Recently, there is a new star who debuts so handsome! ”

"I've got a picture of him, I'll send you one later!"

"And there's more! Tomorrow I want to go ......."

……

In the bureau office, Qin Xun put a few printed pictures on the table, after staying up all night, her eyes were black, her eyes were bloodshot, and the beautiful woman who should be slim was like a peasant woman who had just returned from plowing the fields all night, tired and tired were intertwined, constantly pulling her eyelids that she was trying to open.

The door was pushed open, Zhang Guozhong slowly walked in with a cup of tea, Qin Xunbao took it with both hands with a pleased smile, and said sweetly: "Thank you." ”

"Well, what do you think about this case?" Zhang Guozhong leaned in front of the desk, helping Qin Xun rub his shoulders distressedly, she was really tired recently, and wearing stars and moons was not enough to describe her hard work.

Qin Xun picked up those photos again, picked out one of them and handed it to Zhang Guozhong: "I can't talk about opinions, but there are some details, Xiao Liu and they have already brought people to implement this." ”

"What details?"

Qin Xun pointed to a few footprints on the photo and explained: "Only this series of footprints at the scene shows that because the target's shoes are very large, they left obvious traces...... according to which we checked the surrounding surveillance, and there was only one tall man with a hood in the many images, according to which it can be preliminarily judged that this person committed the crime alone, and there was no gang." ”

Zhang Guozhong nodded, but he was still a little puzzled: "But the deceased was found in the basement of an apartment, how do you judge that the first scene was in the corridor between the buildings?" ”

"We found a mobile phone at the scene with obvious broken marks, and the screen of the mobile phone was facing the ground,...... The deceased had many scars from the fight, and there should have been violent resistance before his death, so it is speculated that the suspect was only bent on controlling the deceased and did not see the fallen mobile phone, and we contacted the deceased's colleagues and friends through the mobile phone, so we can quickly determine her identity. ”

Zhang Guozhong listened, and read those photos in his hand, and couldn't help but sigh for the young life that died of incense: "I heard them say that in addition to being violated, the deceased's belongings were also looted. ”

Qin Xun shook his head and pouted: "It's hard to draw a conclusion, according to what the deceased's colleagues learned, the deceased was a clothing salesman before his death, and his monthly income was not high, only enough for general food and drink expenses, so the possibility of the suspect seeking money is not great, it should be a thief running around, but it was only when he saw that he was motivated, it caused a tragedy." ”

Two days have passed since the case, and there has still been not much progress so far, many cases cannot be solved, and Qin Xun's task is very arduous.

Qin Xun took a few sips from the teacup, which seemed to ease a little, and Zhang Guozhong sat down beside her and rested her head on his side.

"Go to sleep, I'll call you something."

“emmm…… I don't dare to sleep~, I really hope that Xiao Liu and they can make other discoveries and end up as soon as possible......" Qin Xun said, leaning his head on Zhang Guozhong's shoulder, he no longer had the mature appearance he had on weekdays, and some were just birds.

The woman is feminine and feminine, and the mother is strong, Qin Xun is still young, she just took on the responsibility that should not belong to her age too early, whether it is her profession or role, she is trying her best to do her best.

"Sister Qin! Sister Qin! Qin ......! ”

The shouts from far and near like a fierce beast came to an abrupt end the moment he pushed open the office door, Xiao Liu grabbed the door frame and looked inside blankly, Zhang Guozhong and Qin Xun stared at him with two pairs of big eyes.

Xiao Liu scratched his head and smiled: "I...... Isn't it...... I didn't come at the right time......"

Qin Xun glanced at him, the young man was easy to breed bad thoughts, "Just your poor mouth, tell me what is going on." ”

"Oh, I almost forgot!" Xiao Liu patted his head and suddenly understood his original purpose: "Just now we were investigating the scene, and suddenly a nearby resident ran over in a hurry, saying that a male corpse was found in the park woods behind the community!" ”

"What?" Qin Xun and Zhang Guozhong got up and looked at Xiao Liu in shock: "Someone was killed again?" ”

Xiao Liu nodded and hesitated slightly, "Yes, but when we went over to check, we found that ...... male corpse was the suspect." ”

The change in things was unexpected, Qin Xun put down the teacup, picked up his hat and went straight out.

The busy situation can't be stopped for a moment, and the uneasy factor lurks in this city, which makes people shudder.

……

"Wow"

"Come in."

The door was pushed open, and it was the slightly vicissitudes of life of the ghost's face, he raised his eyelids and looked at the window, Ye Hanmeng sat there, sullen.

She turned her head, her brow full of anger, so distinct from the ghost's calm expression.

"Done?" She asked.

"Hmm." The ghost just nodded slightly, turned the doorknob and withdrew half a step: "Miss, rest early." ”

Seeing that the ghost shadow was so indifferent, Ye Hanmeng kicked his feet on the ground and shouted: "Come back!" I'm not done yet! ”

The ghost stepped back to where he had stood, the soles of his shoes almost overlapping the slight footprints, and the instinct of training had given him the instinct not to create it on purpose, and he would try to minimize the traces he left anywhere.

Ye Hanmeng hugged his arms in front of his chest, walked over angrily, pointed to the ghost's nose and asked sharply, "You go back now and ask me about Ye Hanluo!" Why arrange me to such a terrible place! I just went out for a while, and there was that kind of pervert tailgating me! Can this place still be stayed? Is this still a place for people? If something happens to me, my dad will have to pour you and Ye Hanluo into a cement bucket and sink into the East China Sea!! ”

The ghost figure just half-bowed his head, not shaking his head or nodding his head, showing no attitude.

Seeing that the ghost shadow was so wooden, Ye Hanmeng tilted his head and stared at him: "Why are you in a daze?" Did you hear what I said? ”

"Miss, I already told you, don't move around at will."

"What do you mean by walking around? Am I just going to stay in this shabby room every day? ”

The ghost nodded slightly.

"Huh? That's ridiculous. Ye Hanmeng was a little angry, turned around and sat on the wide bed, "This is what Ye Hanluo said about ensuring safety?" The window is full of perverted stinky men, this is what you think is safe? Hmph, what a nest of snakes and rats! ”

Although Ye Hanmeng was so arrogant and did not listen to persuasion, the ghost shadow still only calmed down: "This city is very chaotic, but it is absolutely safe, the most dangerous place, the safest." ”

The ghost shadow is a person who has followed the ninth master, and he is well versed in the experience of the ninth master, all the murders he has done with the ninth master in the past, if he doesn't have some common sense and fire in the rivers and lakes, how can he calmly get out of the white path again and again?

Of course, Ye Hanmeng, a young lady like her, naturally doesn't understand.

Seeing that there was no topic to talk about with the ghost, Ye Hanmeng waved his hand impatiently: "Go out, go out!" Hurry up and get out, I'm not going out, okay? I'm going to die in this place, wearing that game helmet all day, right? Are you satisfied? If you are satisfied, hurry up and leave, and go back to invite Ye Hanluo to take credit! Hum! ”

But this time, the ghost shadow did not leave as ordered, but stood at the door staring at Ye Hanmeng with a sharp look.

Ye Hanmeng's eyes widened and he looked directly at the ghost: "What?" Do you still have a temper? Come on, come on! If you see that I'm not happy, you will beat me to death? ”

"Rub!"

The sound of the long knife unsheathed was harsh and crisp, and the huge room was instantly enveloped in a chill, Ye Hanmeng saw a flash of black light in an instant, and then found that his feet were trembling.

She was involuntarily afraid, not a signal from her brain, but an instinctive fear of the muscles of her body.

She watched as the ghost slowly approached with the long black knife in his hand, and although she repeatedly hinted that she should not be afraid of him, that he was just a pony boy under her father, she could no longer control her body, and she could feel the clogging in her throat.

She wanted to shout for help, and she screamed hoarsely.

"Miss, if you encounter any threat, this knife can defend yourself."

But instead of the thousands of things she had in mind, the ghost slowly withdrew the knife back into its scabbard, then knelt down on one knee and gently lowered the knife into the drawer under her bed, covering it with several quilts on top of each other.

Ye Hanmeng breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, it was a kind of pleasure of escaping death, she endured her frightened look, and pretended to be strong and asked: "Are you ...... Why are you giving me such a scary thing? ……”

The ghost slowly folded the quilt and glanced at it reluctantly: "This knife was passed on to me by the Ninth Master, and I will not give it to anyone except the Ninth Master." ”

As he spoke, the ghost moved his gaze from the drawer to Ye Hanmeng, and in his eyes that were still sharp just now, he didn't know when he actually mixed a request: "But now I can't carry it with me, if I continue to carry it, I will be exposed, and it is more likely that I will lose the treasure knife...... The Ninth Master is no longer here, and now I just want to assist your father wholeheartedly, want to make the organization flourish, and want to complete the things that the Ninth Master has always been thinking about. ”

Ye Hanmeng looked at the ghost, her eyes alternated back and forth between the ghost shadow and the drawer at her feet a few times, and after a while, she let out a sigh of relief, "Okay, okay, just put it here...... but I won't touch it, it's too scary......"

The ghost stood up and bowed deeply, turning his head away, and the conversation ended with the sound of the door closing.

The empty room was quiet again, the soundproof glass blocked those noises out of the window, and it was a little quiet, Ye Hanmeng took a deep breath, touched his forehead with his hand, and sweat appeared on his forehead.

……

The ghost left this upscale neighborhood in a car, and even though it was night, he still chose to bring his sunglasses, not for any reason, but cautiously.

He was well aware that the city was far from as glamorous as it seemed, and as an Assassin of the night, he knew better than anyone how much threat lurked in the shadows.

He was sure that the case of the mysterious man with the black long knife who had no unknown surname was coming at him, and that the shadow word was about to become his soul, but he also knew that if he continued to be stubborn, he would only end up capsizing in this dangerous lake.

What Ye Hanluo's abacus is, the ghost shadow doesn't know, but Ye Hanmeng's situation is definitely the safest, even if there are really hairy thieves and gangsters eyeing her, she doesn't have to take action herself, there will be someone arranged by Qiangzi to deal with the miscellaneous fish.

Therefore, the shadow word recipe follows Ye Hanmeng, which is also absolutely safe.

But the ghost still had to deal with this person personally, if not for anything else, in order to gradually gain Ye Hanmeng's trust.

The car drove through the night, quickly and neatly, just like the ghost's style of doing things.

The ghost rolled down half of the window, and the cool wind blew away his somewhat stuffy side face, and also blew away his somewhat irritable thoughts.

The only fly in the ointment is that the ghost does not have the smile of a wise man, and this kind of scene with a smile is the most perfect.

But under the flat expression, the ghost himself could feel that a kind of deliberate hot excitement was stirring in his heart.

This woman is the opportunity she has been waiting for for a long time.
