Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Old Days
After Xu Lang and Grandma Chen finished chatting, they felt that the breakthrough point was still on the old captain, after all, the other party was the one who experienced the things back then.
But he looked at Old Captain Chen with a look of unwillingness to cooperate, which made Qin Xiaolu helpless.
Xu Lang slowly paced back to the edge of the sofa and looked at Captain Chen with a serious face: "Grandpa Chen, the general situation Officer Qin told you just now, and now that the city bureau intends to restart this case, shouldn't you cooperate?" Why, after retirement, you don't think of yourself as a police officer? No more consciousness of the people's police? ”
Qin Xiaolu has been working the ideological work of Old Captain Chen. I didn't expect this Xu Lang to come back in a circle, and he gave people a line, which is not like Xu Lang's style.
Even the last time Deputy Director Li came to the door, although he looked a little annoyed, he was not excessive. Why is it unusual, facing such a seriously ill old man now?
Qin Xiaolu was shocked and angry when he saw Xu Lang talking like this, and slapped him on the thigh: "How can you talk to the old captain!" Don't apologize yet! ”
"Apologize? At that time, he couldn't find out about this case, perhaps because the technical means were not advanced, which is understandable. But now the city bureau intends to let the truth come to light, but he hides it. What kind of people's police is this? Xu Lang snorted coldly and stood up, "Officer Qin, let's go, there's no need to waste time here." ”
"Hey! Xu Lang, he is an old captain who has made meritorious contributions, so it's not good for you to say that, right? Qin Xiaolu hurriedly got up and grabbed Xu Lang, and whispered, "Originally, it was difficult to carry out ideological work, if you make such a fuss, next time we come again, it is estimated that we will not even be able to enter the door." ”
"What's wrong with making a meritorious deed? Can you ignore discipline if you have made meritorious deeds? Forget it, since he doesn't cooperate, there's nothing to say, let's go! Xu Lang deliberately raised his voice.
As he spoke, he was about to go out with Qin Xiaolu, which was really not polite at all.
Seeing that Xu Lang was really leaving, Qin Xiaolu was completely dumbfounded, which one is this singing? Qin Xiaolu wanted to persuade again, but saw Xu Lang turning around and winking mischievously at her.
He's ——?
"Alas!"
Old Captain Chen sighed: "You're right, although I am retired, I am still a policeman. Now that the city bureau has reopened this case, there is no reason why I should not cooperate...... Sit down, and I'll tell you everything I know. ”
Qin Xiaolu understood it all now.
Yes, Xu Lang is singing a drama of radical generals!
After the two sat down, Qin Xiaolu professionally took out a voice recorder, put it on the table, and took out a small notebook, ready to record.
Captain Chen picked up the tea, took a sip, his eyes were a little complicated, and said: "At that time, Nantang Forest Farm covered a large area, rich in timber resources, and had many employees, and was a major taxpayer in Donghai City. In order to make the work and life of employees better, the government has established staff dormitories, primary schools and other living facilities in the forest farm. And I was transferred to the forest farm police station at that time. ”
"Everything was fine, but unfortunately, thirty years ago, an incident happened that changed the fate of the forest farm and many people......
Old Captain Chen spoke for half an hour, and Xu Lang listened quietly on the side, his brain working quickly to sort out the relevant information.
It turned out that thirty years ago, a young female teacher at Linchang Primary School was taken by a little ruffian in the nearby village and forcibly defiled.
The female teacher was so humiliated that she committed suicide by throwing herself into a well.
After receiving the report, Captain Chen, who was still a small police officer at the time, personally led people down the well to salvage it, but he went down more than a dozen times, but no body was found.
Now there are some rumors in the forest farm.
Later, in order not to affect the normal work of the forest farm, the superior ordered the well to be sealed, and it was strictly forbidden to spread the matter, of course, the little ruffian was also arrested and sentenced.
Originally, everyone thought that the matter would pass like this, but not long after, some strange things happened in the forest farm, first poultry and livestock died inexplicably. Until one day, there was a murder!
The body of the deceased was found at the well, lying on the ground, feet close to the well, arms stretched over his head, hands spread forward, as if desperately struggling to escape.
Old Captain Chen personally turned over the corpse and found that the deceased's eyes were wide open, his expression was frightened, and his seven orifices were bleeding, as if he was scared to death.
The most evil thing is that in the next few days, people died, and the deaths were the same.
For a time, the people of Nantang Forest Farm were panicked. Usually people don't dare to go out alone, and in the evening, the door is locked early.
Even so, many people quit their jobs and left the farms.
In order to appease the people's hearts, the leaders of the forest farm invited people to do things, and who knew that the two masters and apprentices who did the things also died tragically. At this time, the leader was completely frightened, and in the end he could only report the matter, and someone was sent to investigate.
Captain Chen did not know the specific results of the investigation because he was still young at that time, but half a month later, the forest farm announced that it would cease business due to infectious diseases and implement a lockdown, which has been until now.
"Grandpa Chen, have you ever gone back after you retired?" Xu Lang asked.
Old Captain Chen looked at Xu Lang, stunned for a moment, and finally nodded: "I did go once." ”
Xu Lang continued to ask: "And something happened, right?" ”
Old Captain Chen looked at Xu Lang with a face full of surprise: "How did you know?" ”
Xu Lang said seriously: "I also guessed, just now Grandma Chen told me that before you retired, your health was very good, but after retirement, your body and bones worsened." I'm guessing you've been to that forest farm again, and what else you've encountered there. ”
Previously, the spirit officer said that the yin qi on Captain Chen's body and the yin qi in the well came from the same source. But Grandma Chen said that Old Captain Chen was alive and well before he retired, which means that this yin qi is likely to be acquired after retirement.
"You guessed it, something incredible happened to me." Old Captain Chen nodded, and a trace of fear appeared on his face that had been through vicissitudes.
"That was the first case I received from the police, but I didn't expect it to become an unsolved case. I haven't found the murderer for so many years, which can be regarded as a piece of my heart for so many years. At that time, I was about to retire, and I thought that it would not be easy to investigate this case again in the future. So I thought about going to the well to check it again, but as soon as I got closer, blood gushed out of the well, and in the blink of an eye, it spread to my feet. I wanted to escape, but I couldn't. Just when I thought I would definitely not survive, the blood was strangely recovered. ”
"And I fainted as soon as my eyes were black, and when I woke up, I saw a man doing something on my left arm."
"He saw that I was awake and told me that I had been invaded by evil spirits, and with his current strength, he could not clear those evil spirits. But he has left a mark on my body, which can alleviate the damage of evil spirits to my body, and it is up to God to see how long he will live. ”
Grandma Chen, who was sitting on the side, obviously knew this, so she didn't speak, but when she heard this, she still unconsciously reddened her eyes.
"Originally, I didn't believe in ghosts and gods, but what was happening in front of me had to make me believe it. Since then, my body has not been as good as it used to be. Captain Chen rolled up his sleeves and pointed to the scar on the inside of his left arm, "This is the mark he left on me." ”
It was a copper coin-like mark with a round outer circle and a square inside.
But the strange thing is that there is a faint word in the square hole where it should be empty.
Xu Lang glanced at the mark and couldn't help but exclaim, "Grandpa Chen, what does that person look like?" Did he say anything else? ”
Old Captain Chen shook his head: "At that time, I was so dizzy that I didn't see his appearance clearly, and by the time I was completely awake, he was already gone." ”
"Why are you so surprised? Is there something wrong with the imprint? Qin Xiaolu looked at Xu Lang's excited appearance, his mind was full of doubts, and he stretched his neck to take a closer look at the scar-like mark, "Huh? There seems to be a word in the middle. ”
Captain Chen said: "I looked at it carefully, it is the word 'Xu'. ”
"Xu?" Qin Xiaolu stared at Xu Lang with wide eyes, "Xu Lang, you are also surnamed Xu, and you can also have those strange things." You were so excited just now, that person couldn't be your father, right? ”
"Young man, are you really ......" Old Captain Chen was stunned when he heard Qin Xiaolu's words, and asked in disbelief.
"My parents have disappeared, and I don't know if it's ......," Xu Lang frowned, "Maybe it's just a coincidence." ”
As soon as the words fell, a "ding" prompt sound came from Xu Lang's trouser pocket.
He took out his mobile phone and saw that it was the system's message: "Congratulations on finding out the truth of the matter and completing the task of 'Bleeding Ancient Well'." At the same time, the hidden quest is triggered. ”
"Hidden Mission: A Gesture of Effort."
"Difficulty: Easy."
"Mission Description: In order to solve the case, Mr. Chen is willing to share the scars in his heart, and we should also help him get rid of the evil on his body."
"Quest Reward: What kind of reward do you talk about?"
Ha?
When Xu Lang saw this task, he was stunned, and read the content of the task again carefully to make sure that he was not mistaken.
This system, shouldn't something go wrong when upgrading? Quests with no rewards? This is the first time I've seen it.
Xu Lang rolled his eyes in his heart, but thought of another question.
The information shows that this is a simple task, but he doesn't know what to do now, and he has no clue at all!
"It's not difficult, 1000 terror points." The spirit officer said suddenly.
Xu Lang frowned, and said in his heart: "Didn't you say that there was no way before?" ”
The spirit officer said confidently: "When I saw that mark, I thought of a way. ”
"The system says that the task is simple, is it too expensive for you to charge me 1000 horror points? Get a 500 discount? ”
"Deal."
"So refreshing...... I knew it would have been a hundred. Xu Lang's heart was very painful, "Hurry up, how to get it." ”
"That's a lot of nonsense. You can just drop a drop of blood on that scar, it's very simple, it's not dangerous. ”
"That's it?"
"That mark has been entangled with evil for many years, and both sides are at the end of the crossbow at this time, and a drop of your blood is enough to break the balance."
"Hehe, it's so easy to make money......"
Xu Lang muttered in his mind, and then didn't speak, directly pulled out the knife he was carrying, picked out his fingertips, and made a drop of blood on the scar......
