"What case were you working on last night?" Zhou Dao asked with a smile and walked in.

Zheng Ruijun, as the head of the Yungu City Special Investigation Group, has his own separate office.

The office is not very spacious, consisting of a standard desk and chairs, a leather sofa, a coffee table, an air conditioner and two pots of pothos.

It's just that the windows in the office are all closed at the moment, and when I first walk in, I feel that the air is not circulating, and I feel a little stuffy.

"Investigate a case of a missing child." Zheng Ruijun took a disposable paper cup, poured a glass of water, handed it to Zhou Dao, and continued: "At first, I suspected that there was something abnormal, because the picture displayed by the surveillance was also very strange, and later I found out that the murderer was actually a monkey. ”

"Where did the monkeys come from?" Zhou Dao asked curiously.

"Monkeys coming down from Qifu Mountain, you should know that on Qifu Mountain in our Yungu City, monkeys are well-known bandits, and even tourists are afraid of them." Zheng Ruijun explained.

"Did you find the missing child later?" Zhou Dao continued to ask.

"Found it, found it." Zheng Ruijun nodded, "I found it in the monkey's nest, but it didn't hurt except for being frightened." ”

"Wipe your sweat away." Zhou Dao laughed, "Sleep, not only your forehead, but also your neck and palms are sweaty." ”

Zheng Ruijun smiled: "No, there is no sweat in your hands." ”

Zhou Dao didn't speak, but pointed to the disposable paper cup that was placed on the table and Zheng Ruijun had just carried over, only to see tiny water droplets hanging on the outside of the paper cup.

Zheng Ruijun explained: "It was the water overflowing just now. ”

But at the same moment, his hand unconsciously wiped his pants.

"I may go back to Heshan City tonight." Zhou Dao didn't touch the water on the table, but said, "I want to thank you for the help you have provided me these days, so I came to say goodbye to you." ”

"You're welcome." Zheng Ruijun waved his hand, "What we should cooperate with is not really helpful, but it makes you bother yourself." ”

Zhou Dao shook his head: "There's nothing to worry about, but the root of the case is probably clear, and when I go back and call a colleague to confirm it, maybe it will come to light." ”

"Are you going back to Cloud Valley?" Zheng Ruijun asked.

Zhou Dao shook his head again: "Not necessarily." ”

He then looked at the time, stood up, and took out an envelope from his small leather bag.

The envelope was sealed, and it was evident that it contained something, perhaps paper, but it was not known what type of paper it was.

"I just went to take a look, but the leader of the criminal team is not there, please pass this on to him, thank you!"

"Okay, no problem." Zheng Ruijun took it and put it in the drawer of his desk.

Zhou Dao walked to the door, and Zheng Ruijun opened the door for him.

He turned around and patted Zheng Ruijun's slightly thin shoulder, and said with a smile: "I heard that if a person forcibly absorbs abnormal qi, and the moment the abnormal qi is exhausted, his whole body will be drenched in sweat. I wonder if there is such a thing? ”

Zheng Ruijun was stunned and shook his head: "I don't know, I don't dare to touch that thing." ”

Zhou Dao smiled and turned to leave.

Zheng Ruijun stared at his distant back, and gradually, his eyes became cold.

Closing the office door and returning to his desk, he pulled open the drawer and took out the sealed letter, weighing it in his hand.

Turning his head to look out of the window, he saw Zhou Dao's figure with a small leather bag appear in the garden outside the building, and gradually disappeared through the garden.

He withdrew his eyes, and the whole person was instantly relieved from the indifference just now, like a balloon full of air, and suddenly relaxed at this moment, his face was slightly pale, and he gasped slightly.

Pulled two tissues, wiped the sweat off his face, and then took off his coat, the vest inside was already soaked with sweat.

At this time, Zheng Ruijun seemed to be several years old at a glance, and the whole person had a feeling of sudden malaise.

However, he didn't care about his current state at all, just stared at the sealed letter in his hand, slowly stretched out his left hand, took a pair of scissors, and slowly approached the letter.

After a few moments, the scissors stopped, and the tip only touched the envelope, but it did not cut.

After about a minute of stalemate, Zheng Ruijun put down the scissors, took a deep look at the letter, slowly put it into the drawer, and closed the drawer.

He stood up and turned on the air conditioner, the air conditioner was turned on, and then he found a spare set of clean clothes from the box under the filing cabinet, and changed the soaked clothes on his body.

……

Coming out of the security hall, Shen Xing did not go home, but went directly to the wood carving shop to open a shop.

The store hadn't been open for a few days, and because of the street, the counter had been covered with a layer of fine ash, and he soaked the rag in water, wrung it out a little, and then wiped all the display cabinets, especially the glass was polished to a shiny finish.

After sweeping the floor, I mopped it twice, sat down and drank a glass of water, and prepared to go to the bakery next door to buy a bread and a glass of milk to satisfy my hunger.

When he was about to go out, as soon as he looked up, he saw a familiar figure walking into the store, it was Zhuo Datong who was shouting to return his mask wood carving a few days ago.

"Hello Boss Shen! Long time no see. After Zhuo Datong saw Shen Xing, he immediately smiled all over his face.

He knew very well that after the sheriff came forward to handle the case, for some special reasons, his wife's body might never return to the grave.

In the past few days, he has been feeling a strange concern in his heart.

On the one hand, I miss Jiang Guirong a little bit before I was alive, and on the other hand, I am very afraid of this old wife who now looks terrible and is completely two people.

After thinking about it, Zhuo Datong felt that the way to cure his strange thoughts might be to look at the mask again.

What's more, he misunderstood Shen Xing at the beginning, so he had to come over and apologize to Shen Xing in person.

He came to see it yesterday and waited on the side of the street for a long time, but he didn't know that Shen Xing didn't come to open the store, so he came again today.

Shen Xing is not such a caring person, mainly because the facts are now very clear, whether Jiang Guirong cheated the corpse or not has nothing to do with the mask wood carving he sold to Zhuo Datong.

Otherwise, Zhuo Datong would not have licked his face and ran here with a hippie smile.

He smiled, nodded, and said, "Here, sit down." ”

After the words fell, he turned around and returned to the store, took out the key, took out the mask that Zhuo Datong sent back last time from a cabinet under the container, and said to Zhuo Datong.

"Are you going to take the mask back, or am I going to give you the money back?"

"I want a mask, I want a mask, I want a mask." Zhuo Datong quickly stood up and walked over, and took the mask wrapped in a cloth towel with both hands.

He opened the cloth towel and looked at it, and then showed a relieved smile and hugged it tightly, Shen Xing even noticed that the corners of the old man's eyes were already full of tears.

"I'm going to buy bread next door, have you eaten?" Shen Xing asked casually.

Zhuo Datong immediately grabbed his sleeve: "What kind of bread to eat?" I'll treat you to dinner and find a small restaurant around here. ”

Shen Xing said: "I just opened a store, and going to the restaurant to eat delayed time and affected business." ”

Zhuo Datong insisted on not letting him eat any bread, and immediately said: "I'll ask the restaurant to send you to the store, and we'll eat here." ”

Unable to excuse himself, Shen Xing finally nodded.

After a while, Zhuo Datong went to arrange the meals, Kung Pao diced pork, garlic cabbage, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and bean curd soup, all of which were home-cooked dishes.

Shen Xing smiled: "It's early in the morning, it's the first time I've eaten like this." ”

Zhuo Datong also smiled: "It's the first time for me." ”

The two of them said that, but soon after sitting down, they swept away the dishes like a storm.

Called the restaurant to take away the leftover dishes, Shen Xing got up to clean the place where he ate, and Zhuo Datong took a rag to help wipe the table where the dishes were placed.

"Yo, you've already started hiring people in this store." A voice sounded at the door of the woodcarving shop at this time, and it sounded somewhat familiar.

Shen Xing looked up and found that it was Zhou Dao, a member of the special investigation team from Heshan City, and smiled at him: "It turns out that you haven't gone back yet?" Well, this is my customer, not the guy in the store. Besides, I have a small broken shop, where can I afford to hire someone? ”

Zhuo Datong saw that Zhou Dao was a leader, and he didn't dare to ask more, after wiping the table, he put down the rag, wrapped his mask and wood carving, hugged his hands, and said to Shen Xing: "Then don't bother you, Boss Shen, I'll leave first, and I'll call later." ”

"Okay, you go slowly." Shen Xing nodded.

After seeing Zhuo Datong leave, Zhou Dao withdrew his gaze from his back for a long time, pointed in the direction where Zhuo Datong left, and asked, "Is this the man whose wife cheated on the corpse?" ”

Shen Xing nodded, a little surprised: "I didn't expect you to be paying attention to the special case in Yungu City, I think Zhao Wenbo may have just reported this case." ”

Zhou Dao nodded, and did not hide it: "I've actually been paying attention." ”

Shen Xing spread his hands and said to him, "Do you want to tell me that you came here this time to buy my wood carving?" ”

Zhou Dao smiled: "Okay, since you said it, I'll buy one." But there's something I want you to help with. ”

"What's the matter?" Shen Xing was originally joking, and it was impossible to really buy and sell.

"Go to the forensic office of the Sheriff's Department in the evening, and keep an eye on the corpse room No. 3 for me." Zhou Dao said in a low voice.

Shen Xing was suddenly surprised: "Isn't it the corpse of Zhuo Datong's wife Jiang Guirong just now?" ”

"I know." Zhou Dao nodded: "I'm working on a case, and I need you to guard the corpse room tonight, and if anything abnormal, notify me in time." ”

Shen Xing was even more confused and asked, "Why don't you ask the special investigation team of Yungu City to help you?" They should be more experienced than me......"

Zhou Dao waved his hand and lowered his voice: "You just have to do what I say, don't ask anything else." Anyway, keep the No. 3 corpse room tonight, and don't let anyone in, even if anyone comes, I will let all the staff on duty in the forensic office leave. ”

Shen Xing shook his head when he heard this, and said, "I'm sorry, I'm just a temporary worker in the investigation team, and I'm paid by the piece." Now I don't know exactly what you're trying to get me to do, so I probably can't accept it. ”

Zhou Dao sighed softly, as if thinking about something, and after about two or three minutes, he raised his head and stared at Shen Xingdao, "Do you remember the scalp incident last time?" In the process of investigating in Yungu City, I found its upper matrix. But it's very powerful and cunning, and I've noticed something wrong with the people here. ”

"The people here...... Who is it referring to? Shen Xing frowned and asked.

"Investigation team." Zhou Dao said softly: "I have checked your details, you didn't know anyone from the Yungu City Investigation Team at all before you encountered the abnormality, and you only recently decided to join the team to handle the case temporarily, so now you are one of the people who can be trusted here." ”

"Questions?" Shen Xing was surprised when he heard Zhou Dao's words.

He didn't know how serious the "problem" the other party was referring to, and he didn't know what the problem was, but obviously now Zhou Dao didn't trust the Yungu City investigation team at all, but chose to trust himself as a temporary employee.

"At night, you go to the duty room outside the corpse room, don't tell the people of the Yungu City Investigation Team, don't tell anyone, just stay there."

Zhou Dao said as he took out a silver pen and handed it to Shen Xing, "This electromagnetic pen can not only release electrostatic fields, but also instantly generate strong high-voltage currents, which is a lethal attack." I'll give it to you now for self-defense, and you should use it sparingly. ”

Shen Xing took the pen and saw that this pen was a little different from the electrostatic pen given to him by the investigation team, it was a little larger, and the cap of the pen was pressed, so it could not be opened directly.

Zhou Dao taught him the method to use, reminding: "You won't touch the upper matrix, but you must know that this anomaly is not an ordinary anomaly that you have usually seen. It's not just about the traits, it's about having dark abilities. ”

"Dark skills?" Shen Xing pondered carefully, and had a feeling of increasing surprise.

"Saying this is just a reminder that you must be vigilant, and don't leave the duty room of the corpse room tonight no matter what." Zhou Dao continued to advise, "You don't have to worry about everything outside, just hold over there." ”

"So what are you doing?" Shen Xing asked puzzled.

Zhou Dao's face turned slightly: "Catch the abnormality, and then see if you can catch someone." ”

Shen Xing suddenly thought of something: "Is there a whereabouts about the ink stains?" ”

Zhou Dao nodded and reminded: "Remember, if you see ink stains near you, you must be on guard, or simply run away." If you feel dizzy or about to faint, you can bite the tip of your tongue directly. ”

At this point, he bowed his head and muttered, "However, as long as you stay on the second floor underground, you shouldn't be able to see anything." ”

The two discussed some details, although Zhou Dao did not make it clear who he was suspecting and what the anomaly to be arrested was due to temporary secrecy, but Shen Xing knew that his task was much simpler, as long as he guarded the forensic office.

Other cases will be questioned in detail after tonight.

It's just that this time he cooperated with the special investigation team of Heshan City, and before Zhou Dao left, he directly transferred 10,000 yuan to him for the case, that is, the duty room of the corpse room for a night watch, and if there was anything abnormal, Zhou Dao was notified, and the money was in hand.

After Zhou Dao left, Shen Xing looked at the SMS reminder on his phone, but felt that his next encounter might not be as simple as this guy said.
