The accident occurred in a private room at Uejima Coffee. Gao Cheng ran in and saw Yang Fan sitting on the ground at a glance. Opposite him, a girl was lying on the ground, with dark purple blood on her chest, as if she had been dead for a long time. The medical examiner was carefully examining the body, and several police officers searched the room.

Gao Cheng walked over and wanted to pull Yang Fan, but found that his eyes were glazed, his mouth was open, and he was staring straight ahead.

"What's going on? Yang Fan, what's wrong with you? Gao Cheng hurriedly walked to Yang Fan's side and asked.

"Dead, hehe! He's dead. Yang Fan raised his head and looked at Gao Cheng stupidly, his eyes glazed.

"What's wrong with you? What the fuck is wrong with you? Gao Cheng was in a hurry, and suddenly pulled Yang Fan up.

Yang Fan's collar was messy, but his eyes still didn't move. The expression was silly, and he muttered something. The people around were stunned all of a sudden.

Gao Cheng calmed down, slowly let go of Yang Fan, and watched him sit on the ground. At this moment, Gao Cheng was also completely confused. Could it really be the curse that Chu Ling said? How can a policeman become like this in an instant?

Yang Fan was taken away by the other team members, and Gao Cheng clenched his fists and smashed hard to the ground.

Outside the window, the night is dark. Gao Cheng closed the case file and sighed deeply. The words of the forensic doctor still lingered in my ears, the "Grim Reaper" case is not an ordinary homicide, and the murderer has very professional medical experience. In addition, he also knew hypnosis, which is also known as spiritualism.

Spiritualism, Gao Cheng is no stranger.

Some time ago, the police department received a notice from the provincial center that in some cities in the south, many tourists from other places were deceived by people using 'spiritualism' to deceive a large amount of property. The victim himself couldn't speak clearly, but vaguely remembered, just said a few words, and then fell asleep in a daze. When he woke up, his belongings were looted.

Of course, after investigation, a large part of the victims actually fell into the trap of criminals and were anesthetized by drugs. However, there are also a few cases where they suddenly lose consciousness without any circumstances. The provincial center explained that it was because the offender used hypnotic techniques.

The same thing happened to Yang Fan now. With such a real appearance in front of his eyes, Gao Cheng couldn't believe it. The girl who died on the island coffee was Yang Fan's cousin. She, like the deceased before her, is immersed in the Internet. This is also the common denominator of the "Grim Reaper" homicides, where all the victims are picked out from the internet.

The whole case is already clear, this is again the masterpiece of the 'Grim Reaper'. The only difference is that he used some kind of suggestion to hypnotize Yang Fan, and then made a threatening phone call. What does that mean? Provocation? Or is it some kind of hint?

Yang Fan has been sent to the Provincial Institute of Psychology for treatment.

At the afternoon meeting, the director once again emphasized the severity of the "Grim Reaper incident". In particular, the targets of the killings of the two "Grim Reapers" appear to have been directed at the relatives of the police. This made them particularly angry.

Gao Cheng lit a cigarette, stood at the window and looked at the lights of thousands of homes outside, and a sense of loneliness surged inexplicably in his heart. After a few moments, he extinguished his cigarette butt and sat down at the table, and began to analyze the clues in the case one by one.

1. The real IP of the Grim Reaper.

2. The relationship between Yufuling Land and Yuling Village.

3. The cursed relationship between the Grim Reaper and the tomb of Princess Jin, King of Lanling.

4. The mysterious man who used Li Yueyue's mobile phone number.

Gao Cheng took a pen and wrote down the four most important questions on the table. The last time I found out with the assistance of the IT Technology Department, the IP of the 'Reaper' was the location of the army from a remote place in the Northeast. Later, it was verified that it was nothing more than an IP with a false cover. The real IP, so far there is no clue.

According to Professor Chu, his father led the archaeological team into Yuling Village. So, will the "Yuling Blessed Land" there and the "Grim Reaper" on the Internet be the same place? Gao Cheng faintly felt that the "Grim Reaper" must have a great relationship with Yuling Village.

When the sky was bright, Gao Cheng was woken up by the police on duty. He turned his sore neck, stretched, cleaned up briefly, and walked out.

The air in the early morning is fresh. From time to time, people passing by in the morning exercise. Gao Cheng drove slowly on the street, looking at the busy pedestrians on the side of the road, Gao Cheng suddenly felt sad in his heart.

The profession of police has always been a very sacred profession in Gao Cheng's eyes. When he was a child, watching the police on TV, Gao Cheng was always envious. Therefore, when he filled in the college entrance examination, he chose the police academy without hesitation.

After graduating from the police academy, he was assigned to the criminal police team. In the criminal police team, he went from an ordinary police officer to a captain, and he has passed countless cases. However, this "Grim Reaper" case did make him a little flustered.

The biggest reason is because of Li Yueyue.

Many times, Gao Cheng always thinks of his wife's appearance before she died, it was like a knife, cutting his nerves one by one, making him lose his mind. Gao Cheng knew that that was his weakness, but he couldn't control it.

Thinking of the clues analyzed yesterday, I should first check the mysterious man who called Li Yueyue's mobile phone number last night. Thinking of this, Gao Cheng cheered up, and the car rushed forward suddenly.

In the customer reception room of the mobile company, Gao Cheng took out his work card and explained his intention to the service staff. The company leader sent a girl to cooperate with Gao Cheng. The girl crackled and typed some programs into the computer, and then, from the printer, a bill of calls came out.

The girl picked up the list and looked at it and said, "This number has been deactivated." Hey, but why did you make a phone call yesterday? Perhaps, someone is using network technology to cheat. The girl muttered to herself in surprise.

"Network technology fraud?" Gao Cheng glanced at her puzzled.

"Oops! There are too many hackers online these days. Some clever ones will take advantage of some of our company's system shortcomings to send random text messages to customers. It's not surprising to call with a pinned number! The girl shrugged her shoulders and said.

"So, can you find out?" Gao Cheng frowned and asked.

"This, it's hard to check. However, I can give you a personal recommendation. The girl's eyes rolled, and she suddenly whispered to Gao Cheng.

"Who?"

“Az

ael。 Nickname, Grim Reaper. The girl said solemnly.

"Death?" Gao Cheng's heart was shocked, and he grabbed the girl's hand at once.

Gao Cheng felt that his nerves had been a little too sensitive recently. When he first arrived at the Force, Gao Cheng was the most calm and calm of all the new recruits. Therefore, the previous captain attached great importance to Gao Cheng. As a police officer, if you don't have a steady and calm head, it is easy to make mistakes in handling cases.

The girl sitting next to her turned her head to look out the window, as if she was still angry about what had just happened.

"What do you call you?" Gao Cheng looked at her and broke the silence.

"Chen Ruogu." The girl was still looking out the window, speaking a little indifferently.

"My name is Gao Cheng, I'm sorry for what happened just now! It's me who is in too much of a hurry. Gao Cheng smiled apologetically.

Chen Ruogu suddenly turned his head, his eyes a little surprised.

She didn't expect that the person in front of her turned out to be Gao Cheng, whose wife died in the "Grim Reaper" case a few days ago, no wonder he was so sensitive to what he just said. I don't know why, Chen Ruogu suddenly had an inexplicable emotion in his heart. For her indifference just now, she regretted it a little.

Ming'an Psychiatric Research Institute is a private hospital invested and built by Ming'an Group, the largest in the city. Nestled in the western part of the city's suburbs, it is surrounded by some lush greenery and is a tranquil place to rejuvenate the body and mind.

Along the way, Chen Ruogu simply put Az

AEL's situation gave Gao Cheng an introduction. Az

AEL, whose real name is Cheng Zihao, and Chen Ruogu are college classmates. Cheng Zihao has a very high understanding of computers, and when he was in college, he had already coded system programs for some IT companies. Because of his obsession with computers, this also caused him to be weak in other areas. After joining the work, he found it difficult for him to accept the social system and the constraints of the company. So, he quit his job. After resigning, Cheng Zihao tinkered with the Internet at home all day long.

About half a month ago, Cheng Zihao suffered from severe mental depression. He would only hold a laptop every day, staring blankly ahead, and no one knew what he was thinking. The doctor looked at him and said that he might have received any psychological hints, and whether the specific condition was serious could only be observed in the hospital.

It was noon, and the sun was shining on my body and it was warm. In the quiet courtyard, several nurses are walking with several patients. If you look closely, they look like normal people, some are walking, some are sitting, and some are shaking their heads and muttering something......

Chen Ruogu is no stranger to this place. Earlier, because of an old man, she had been here a few times, so she didn't have much wariness of this place that revealed an eerie atmosphere everywhere. She took Gao Cheng and quickly turned into the corridor next to her.

At the end of the corridor was an empty reception desk, which was gloomy because of the dim light. Chen Ruogu looked around, then pointed to the front and walked forward.

"Who are you looking for?" Suddenly, a trembling voice sounded in my ears. It was as if it had suddenly emerged from the ground, echoing in the air empty.

Chen Ruogu was so frightened that he took a step back and almost fell on Gao Cheng.

An old lady in a white coat slammed up from behind the reception desk. The light hit his old face, and there was an indescribable sense of horror.

"We, we see the sick." Chen Ruogu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the figure clearly, and explained his intention.

"Oh, let's go in!" The old lady replied faintly, and turned away. The trembling figure quickly disappeared at the end of the hallway.

It was quiet, and the wind blew in through the windows.

Gao Cheng coughed dryly and asked, "Do you often come to see him?" ”

"No, because we used to be closer at school, so, ah......" Suddenly, Chen Ruogu exclaimed. Then, she jerked around and rushed into Gao Cheng's arms.

Gao Cheng was stunned. His arms stretched out a little helplessly, not knowing where to put them. After a moment, he gently patted her on the shoulder and asked, "You, what's wrong?" ”

"I, I seem to have stepped on something." Chen Ruogu buried his head in Gao Cheng's chest, and his body trembled slightly.

A vague fragrance quietly burrowed into Gao Cheng's nose.

Gao Cheng was in a trance. He remembered that in the past, Li Yueyue also liked to burrow into his arms like this, and the two of them hugged each other quietly.

"Hey, hey!" Suddenly, there was a grim laugh in the hallway.

Gao Cheng was stunned, and he hurriedly let go of Chen Ruogu. Chen Ruogu's face turned red, and he hurriedly left gently. The two of them walked the same way in the quiet and eerie air.

Turning the stairs, a blinding light came in.

Not far away, an electrical worker was lying on a ladder repairing electrical wiring. Seeing Gao Cheng and Chen Ruogu coming out from this side, he spoke, "The circuit over there is broken, why are you still going from there?" It's not safe, you know? ”

"Haha, haha. Death, death is coming. Suddenly, a miserable cry came from a nearby room.

"It's Az

ael。 Chen Ruogu was startled and glanced at Gao Cheng timidly.

"This cry comes several times a day. Don't make a fuss. The power worker said with a smile.

Gao Cheng stopped thoughtfully and followed Chen Ruogu inside.

In the ward, two male nurses are trying to calm a boy down. He should be Cheng Zihao as Chen Ruogu said. He was still holding a black notebook in his arms, holding it tightly with both hands, and muttering, "Quick, death kills." Hurry, go! ”

Seeing Chen Ruogu's appearance, Cheng Zihao's mood suddenly calmed down. The nurse next to him slowly let go of him.

"I'm a police officer, and we have something we want to ask him about. Please cooperate. Gao Cheng walked over and showed his ID.

The door was closed. Gao Cheng slowly sat down beside Chen Ruogu. Cheng Zihao lowered his head and stared straight at the laptop in his hand, as if he was the only one in the room.

Gao Cheng pondered for a moment and then began to ask. But no matter how Gao Cheng asked, Cheng Zihao just didn't speak. Not a word. He just stared at the screen on his notebook, his hands crackling on it.

Finally, Gao Cheng was anxious, and his voice was raised very high: "I beg you to tell me." My wife died, my assistant's sister died, and my assistant is still lying in the hospital. If, if you know, please let me know. ”

Cheng Zihao suddenly stopped all his movements and sounds, as if he had been spotted there. The room was quiet, as if the sound of departure could be heard every minute and second.

After a long time, Cheng Zihao solemnly stuffed the notebook in his hand into Gao Cheng's hand. Then, he turned around and walked towards the wall without speaking.

Gao Cheng looked down at the notebook in his hand. It was an old-fashioned boxy notebook, and some of the paint on the case had even peeled off. What does this mean?

"My life is coming to an end, what I have left to the world, and what has the world left me." Cheng Zihao suddenly burst out of a sentence, and the speed of his words was so fluent that he didn't look like a psychopath at all.

Seeing Cheng Zihao's appearance, Chen Ruogu pulled Gao Cheng, and the two left the ward.

When he walked into the hallway, Gao Cheng stopped. He looked at Chen Ruogu and said, "Why do you want me to see him?" ”

"I, I let you see him? It's what you want to see! Chen Ruogu exclaimed in surprise.

"Don't forget I'm a police officer. If I'm not mistaken, you knew who I was from the beginning. From the beginning of the number check, you set up a bureau to lure me here under the guise of death. Gao Cheng said with a sneer.

Chen Ruogu paused, then exhaled, "Yes, I brought you here." I just wanted to help Az

ael。 He has so many secrets in his heart that no one can help him but you. ”

"Why?"

"Because, he cracked the code of death. So, the Grim Reaper wants to kill him. He could only pretend to be crazy. Captain Gao, only you can help him. I, I'm also forced to do it. Chen Ruogu said, tears falling.

"Ah......h

"Not good." Gao Cheng's face changed, and he hurriedly turned around and ran towards Cheng Zihao's room.
