After returning to the police station, Zhang Ze sent the soil sample to the laboratory.

"Zhang Ze, I have a letter from you."

"My letter? Who sent it? ”

"I don't know, the man put it down and left."

Zhang Ze was a little puzzled, what age is this, and there are still people sending letters. He opened the envelope suspiciously, and there was only a folded puppy inside. Zhang Ze dropped the letter and immediately chased it out, but there was only a bustling crowd outside.

Zhang Ze returned to the office and kept playing with the paper-folded puppy, Mo Zhu, you are finally here. Zhang Ze still remembers how weak Mo Zhu was when he first came to Group K, and it was also because of such a weak Mo Zhu, so he would always be squeezed out by other senior brothers. But only Zhang Ze will treat him equally, and over time, he likes to stick to Zhang Ze more and more, and regards Zhang Ze as the goal of his efforts, and Zhang Ze is not disgusted. Since then, there has been a fixed set of staffing in Group K, Zhang Ze, Wanli, and Mo Zhu. As they grew older, the relationship between the three of them was also changing unconsciously, until one night when Mo Zhu saw Zhang Ze and Wanli dating in the woods, Mo Zhu, who was jealous, would report their affairs to Long Feng.

Zhang Ze already understood Mo Zhu's purpose for entering Zhonghai City this time, it must have been sent by Long Feng to kill him, if he stayed in Fang Fan's house, he would put Fang Fan, Yuehan, and Wanli in danger together, so what should be done now is to take the initiative to make a decision.

"Zhang Ze, the test results are out."

Cui Jiecheng from the laboratory handed the test report to Zhang Ze.

"Worked hard, how's it going?"

"It turned out to be just plain soil, but it had a high viscosity and humidity, and I reasoned that it should have come from deep underground."

"Okay, thank you. I'll treat you to dinner another day. ”

Zhang Ze took the report and immediately rushed to the Xinyue villa area. Guo Jianyue's mother sat on the edge of the bed in the nursery without saying a word at this time, Guo Jianyue accompanied his wife in the bedroom, and Fang Fan waited for Zhang Ze's test results in the living room.

The knock on the door was the most beautiful voice Fang Fan heard at this time.

"The results are in?"

"It came out, and it turned out that the dirt came from deep underground."

"Is what the old lady said true?"

Fang Fan muttered to himself.

"What old lady?"

Guo Jianyue's mother. After she saw the handprint, she said that it was a little ghost knocking on the door. ”

"Huh? That's, isn't it? ”

"Since the last ghost sale, I think something is very."

Zhang Ze thought about it, even if the ghost sold the house, the little ghost was not allowed to come out and wander.

"Fang Fan, there's one more thing."

"What's the matter?"

"Ahh

Suddenly, Guo Jianyue's wife screamed. Fang Fan and Zhang Ze hurriedly ran to the bedroom on the second floor, Guo Jianyue hugged his frightened wife on the bed, and his wife pointed to a low mahogany cabinet in the bedroom. Fang Fan looked at this cabinet suspiciously, but did not find anything abnormal.

"Move out, move out."

Guo Jianyue's wife shouted.

"Xiao Shuang, what's wrong with you?"

"There are two eyes there that keep their eyes on me."

"Where?"

"It's on that cupboard."

At this time, Guo Jianyue's mother also came in.

"Where did this cabinet come from?"

"I saw it at an antique market when I was out with Xiao Shuang some time ago. At that time, she said that this cabinet was very beautiful and she must buy it. After being transported home, she insisted on keeping it in her bedroom. ”

"Now this cabinet will be moved to the yard to dry."

Guo Jianyue stumbled into the yard carrying the cabinet, and after several hours of sun exposure, the cabinet made a popping sound. The old lady stepped forward and began to inspect the cabinet, but there was nothing unusual inside and out. The old lady began to knock on the cabinet, and suddenly sent a dark groove on the wall of the cabinet inside, and after opening the dark groove, there was a yellow paper bag inside, and in the yellow paper bag was a finger bone and a birthday eight characters.

"That's why the imps are here."

"Auntie, can you explain?"

"I was wondering why the imps came to our house. There must be something in the house that has something to do with this little ghost, it turns out to be this. ”

"What does that have to do with this cabinet?"

"I'm afraid this cabinet is the one used to worship when other people's families raised ghosts. Although you can get good luck by raising ghosts, you will be eaten by ghosts after a long time, after all, people and ghosts have different paths. This cabinet is not only used for worship, but also should have the effect of suppressing the resentment of the little ghost. ”

"Then what do you mean by the little ghost looking for his mother?"

"Every imp is a hard-working child, with a lot of resentment, even after death, he can't be at peace, and he is used as a tool for transferring money, but the imp is as simple and kind as a child, and in his eyes, only his mother is the ultimate belonging. Even if you hurt others, it is really unintentional. ”

"Now the little ghost's matter is figured out, but the child's whereabouts are still not at all."

"Don't worry, we'll find out the child's whereabouts tonight."

Fang Fan and Zhang Ze looked at the old lady suspiciously. At dinner, Guo Jianyue's wife Xiaoshuang's mood stabilized a lot, but she was still very scared when she saw the cabinet in the yard, and she didn't have the original affection, Guo Jianyue accompanied his wife in the living room.

Zhang Ze called Fang Fan aside.

"I plan to leave you after this case is over, but Wanli still wants to stay for the time being."

"What's going on?"

"It's nothing, it's not convenient for me to stay with you."

"Well, now that you've decided, I can't force you anymore. Don't worry, Yuehan and I will definitely take care of Wanli. ”

Zhang Ze didn't know how to tell Fang Fan about Mo Zhu, and he couldn't let Fang Fan, Yuehan, and Wanli fall into danger, after all, Mo Zhu's goal was himself, so leaving was the best way. When Fang Fan and Zhang Ze returned to the living room, they found that the old lady was preparing something.

"Auntie, what are you preparing?"

"After a while, you should light incense next to the cabinet and put some glutinous rice. Which of you is a child? ”

Zhang Ze was embarrassed to admit that he was a child, and Fang Fan laughed quietly on the side.

"You're actually a child, don't you and Wanli?"

"You think they're all beasts like you."

Fang Fan laughed even harder. The old lady said with a serious expression.

"Don't laugh, you're a child, so it saves a lot of trouble. The imp will definitely come back in a while, and when he gets into the cupboard, you pick it up. ”

"Understood."

Everyone was looking at their watches in the living room, as nervous as if they were about to have a big ceremony. It was already 23:00 in the evening.

"Jianyue, you help Xiaoshuang go back to the room to rest, no matter what happens, don't take half a step away from her. Fang Fan took it in the living room, wait for me to wave his hand, you come out again, now Zhang Ze will go out with me. ”

The old lady's words made everyone start to get nervous.

"Zhang Ze, you put the incense and glutinous rice in place, and then drip the blood of your index finger on the glutinous rice."

"Why do you want to drip blood?"

"It's the only way to find the child."

"Zhang Ze also fought hard to solve the case, so he had to do it."

When everything was ready, the old lady recited a spell. The more Zhang Ze looked at it, the more strange it became, this is to solve the case, it is clearly to help the restoration of the old society. But using conventional means to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, let's try the old lady's charlatanism.

When Zhang Ze was complaining in his heart, he saw a neat row of small footprints on the ground, the small footprints were close to the cabinet, and suddenly the bowl of blood-soaked glutinous rice slowly turned black, and after a while, the door of the cabinet snapped shut, and then the face of Guo Jianyue's wife on the second floor slowly improved. The old lady waved her hand and motioned for Fang Fan to come out.

Zhang Ze picked up the cabinet, and Fang Fan followed him. If he can't hold it, you have to hold his arm and never touch the cabinet. ”

At this moment, a small crack opened in the cabinet, and a small, white and fat hand pointed the way for them.

"Let's go the way he showed us and don't look back"

Walked for about 30 minutes.

"Fang Fan, I can't hold it anymore."

Zhang Ze himself was also very curious about why this cabinet was getting heavier and heavier. Fang Fan immediately reached out to support Zhang Ze's arm, but his little thumb still accidentally touched the cabinet. Suddenly, the sound of a baby crying came from inside the cabinet, and the little hand that had been pointing the way was also retracted.

"You didn't touch the cabinet?"

"I guess I ran into it when I was in a panic just now."

The old lady took out a dagger and made a big cut in Fang Fan's hand, and blood came out.

"Get your hand in the cupboard."

Although Fang Fan didn't know why, he had no choice but to do it according to the current situation. Fang Fan felt that the little ghost inside was sucking his own blood, the cry disappeared, and the little hand was stretched out again. After another 15 minutes, we finally arrived at our destination, which was a lonely grave in the wilderness. The baby's cry could be faintly heard, it was not coming from the cabinet, Fang Fan followed the cry to find it, and found a baby boy next to one of the graves.

"My good grandson, I have finally found you."

The old lady hugged her grandson with tears in her eyes. After calming down a little bit, the old lady made a French overkill. After the three returned home with their children, Guo Jianyue and his wife were full of joy, and his wife Xiaoshuang's face was much better than before.

"Thank you so much this time."

"No, it's all the credit of the aunt, and we do the manual work."

The old lady waved her hand.

"It's nothing, if it weren't for the clues you ran before and after, it wouldn't have gone so smoothly."

"Auntie, I want to ask you. Why is our blood needed? ”

"People who raise imps will make offerings with blood and glutinous rice, which are like food for imps. The purpose of using blood is to make him recognize the Lord, and he began to recognize Zhang Ze, so anyone other than Zhang Ze touched this cabinet will be regarded as a violation by him, and in order to punish you, he asked you to feed him with blood. ”

"I see. Will that imp still appear in the future? ”

"I've overgrown this little ghost, and I won't be there again. In fact, if there are not so many people in the world who are hungry for profit, how can anyone raise ghosts? There wouldn't be so many hard-working children. ”

"Then why did he take the child?"

"It shouldn't have been captured by the little ghost, the baby's eyes can see things that adults can't see, I'm afraid the little ghost took him out to play."

This reason was very perfunctory, but the old lady didn't say it anymore, and Fang Fan didn't ask anymore.

"Auntie, can I ask your honorable name."

"I'm just an old lady who knows a little about Maoshan techniques, and it's not worth mentioning."

Fang Fan and Zhang Ze said goodbye to the family who were immersed in the joy of the catastrophe, Zhonghai City in the early morning was extremely quiet, the sun below the horizon was still asleep, and the moon was silently looking at the people on the ground behind the clouds.

"Zhang Ze's life is mine, you'd better not meddle in your affairs."

"Then it's up to each other."

"Don't think that if you are the righteous daughter of Lord Long, I won't dare to kill you."

After Mo Zhu left, Wang Di called Aunt Mei.

"Aunt Mei, it's time to act."

"Okay, I'll go to Zhonghai City tomorrow."

Suddenly, there was a burst of thunder in the sky, and dark clouds slowly enveloped Zhonghai City, which was still asleep.

July 12, 2019, 10:00 AM

On the civic square of Zhonghai City, there is a statue of a warrior on horseback, with his front hooves jumping high to overcome all obstacles, and the warrior on the horse is holding a war spear and singing a war song of fighting bravely to kill the enemy, and his eyes are like the ice peaks of a snow-capped mountain for thousands of years, sharp and sharp. Presumably, after the battle, the horses lowered their heads and sniffed the fat of the water and plants, the warriors returned triumphantly, Bingfeng's eyes turned into a clear spring swaying with tenderness and affection, the smoke of the cottage in the distance curled, and the sweetheart sent a hot hug.

The rain sneaked into the umbrella, Fang Fan raised his hand to wipe it, he straightened the umbrella in his hand and walked home, the spear in the statue's hand flashed a bright and dim light behind him. Zhang Ze had been away for three days, but he and Fang Fan had been in touch. After leaving Fang Fan's house, Zhang Ze chose to live in the police station, firstly, because it was convenient for work, and secondly, it was convenient to deal with it even if Mo Zhu came to find him.

After Fang Fan went home, Yue Han had just finished wiping Wanli's body.

"Fang Fan, when do you think Wanli will wake up?"

"What's wrong? Are you in trouble with her? ”

"Of course not, I think she's so pitiful, but so happy."

"Huh? What do you mean? ”

"You men don't know anything but solving crimes."

Fang Fan was confused by what he said, and looked at Yuehan with big eyes.

"Although Wanli is immersed in Zhang Ze's love, she can't make a little response, even if she moves her fingers."

"According to what you say, the poor one should be Zhang Ze."

"He's a poor fart. He wanted to look at her and hug her when he wanted to be graceful. But what about Wanli? She's just unconscious, not dead. She must be in a dark place now, lonely and helpless, but who should she hug? ”

Fang Fan touched Yuehan's head.

"I really don't understand this, but all we can do now is stay by Wanli's side."

"Oops, go go, go. Go cook, I'm hungry. ”

Yue Han found out that he was playing the piano to the cow, so he sent Fang Fan away and sat down next to Wanli again.

"Wanli, you must wake up, we are all waiting for you to come back, especially Zhang Ze."

"Wife, come and give me a hand, the fish has run away."

"Stupid, forget it."

Yuehan walked to the kitchen as she spoke, but she didn't notice Wanli's slightly beating fingers.

July 13, 2019 9:00 AM

"Fang Fan, you came to the police station, something happened."

I could hear that Zhang Ze on the other end of the phone was very anxious. After Fang Fan cleaned up briefly, he rushed to the Zhonghai City Police Station. The police station was surrounded by reporters, Fang Fan squeezed for a long time before entering, and Zhang Zezheng watched the surveillance video of Zhongshan Road last night over and over again.

"What's wrong, how can there be so many reporters?"

"At about nine o'clock last night, a Japanese restaurant on Zhongshan Road suddenly exploded, but the cause of the explosion was very bizarre."

"What is the reason?"

"According to the monitoring and evidence collection at the scene, it was found that the boss himself deliberately leaked natural gas, which caused the explosion."

"What about the neighbors?"

"Two families were implicated, but fortunately there were no casualties."

"Where's the boss?"

"Severe burns, sent to the hospital for rescue."

"What are those reporters doing?"

"Haven't they been supervising the inaction of law enforcement officers recently, and when such a big thing happens, of course they have to come and join in the fun."

"What other clues?"

"After the explosion last night, a waiter in the massage city diagonally opposite this Japanese restaurant seriously injured a customer."

"So messy?"

"More chaos is yet to come. After these two cases, a brawl broke out in front of the Hadron car repair shop at 1 a.m. today, and many people were arrested, including the owner of the repair shop. ”

"Are there any other cases?"

"Not for now."

"Let's go to the hospital first and see how the owner of the Japanese restaurant is doing."

When Fang Fan and Zhang Ze rushed to the hospital, a young and beautiful woman sat at the door of the ward wiping her tears, and a young and strong young man sat next to her. After Zhang Ze explained his intention to the two, the two agreed to answer some questions.

The woman's name is Tian Li, 32 years old this year, and she is the wife of the boss Xu Zeming. The young man's name is Xu Zecheng, 28 years old this year, and he is the boss's younger brother. It is understood that Tian Li and her friends went out for a party last night and were not in the store, so it was not of much help to understand what happened. Xu Zecheng went out to deliver food last night, and when he came back, the explosion was over.

After the questioning, Fang Fan touched the stubble on his chin with his right hand and thought.

"It seems that Xu Zeming is not awake, and we can't ask any valuable clues. Go back to the bureau first and ask the waiter at the massage city. ”

What made Fang Fan feel strange was that the time of these three incidents was on the same day, and the location was on Zhongshan Road, which was too coincidental.

A few minutes later, Fang Fan and Zhang Ze returned to the police station and interrogated Liu Yujie, a massage city attendant.

"Why are you beating up guests?"

"He should have been beaten."

Liu Yujie lowered her head and said through gritted teeth, saying that her fingers were still clasped the table, and her nails had cracked and bleeding a little because she was too hard.

"Do you know that you have violated the criminal law by causing serious injury to another person? Will the court sentence you to between three and ten years in prison? ”

"Sentence me? Come on. ”

Liu Yujie's voice became thick and powerful, not like a young girl. After finishing speaking, she raised her head suddenly, and her blood-red eyes surprised Fang Fan and Zhang Ze. Fang Fan looked at Liu Yujie carefully and felt that something was wrong, first, Liu Yujie was about 156 cm tall, and she was thin, and the victim Li Wannian was more than 180 cm tall and fat. At the time of the crime, Li Wannian was lying on the bed, even if Liu Yujie started to beat him, as long as he fought back, Liu Yujie was definitely not his opponent, and it was impossible to be seriously injured.

Fang Fan decided to go to the massage city to look for clues. Fang Fan and Zhang Ze came to the massage city, because of this kind of thing, the massage city was ordered by the relevant departments to suspend business for rectification. The two walked into the massage city, and it was pitch black, except for the lights of one of the huts.

"Who are you two?"

"I'm from the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and this is a private detective. Let's take a look at the vicious assault that happened last night. ”

"Sit down, sit down."

The man was the owner of a massage parlor and spoke with a thick southern accent.

"Does Li Wannian come here often?"

"No, how could it be. I also saw him for the first time last night. ”

"Oh? Do you know who I'm talking about? ”

The boss was suddenly dumbfounded and a little nervous.

"You must be asking about the guy who was beaten last night."

Fang Fan smiled.

"You're not just getting a massage here, are you?"

After Fang Fan finished speaking, he took out a few photos and threw them on the table, and the boss became even more nervous after reading them. Zhang Ze also looked at it, and after reading it, his blood surged.

"Well said, well said. I'll say whatever you ask. ”

"Then tell me about Liu Yujie first."

"This little girl is very honest, she has been working with me for a few years, and she has come from other places to work. Usually even if you are a little wronged, she never squeaks, and she belongs to the kind of person who swallows her anger. But she only does massage work, and never does anything else. ”

"What about this Li Wannian?"

"He's a regular customer of mine, and he only looks for Liu Yujie every time he comes. I heard that every time he did something to Liu Yujie, but Liu Yujie didn't squeak, of course, I, the boss, made money in a friendly way, so I didn't say anything. ”

Zhang Ze glared at the boss fiercely, and the boss lowered his head knowingly.

"I'd like to see last night's surveillance."

"Good, good."

Fang Fan and Zhang Ze watched the video, at the beginning, Liu Yujie gave Li Wannian a serious massage, but slowly Li Wannian's hand began to be dishonest, and from time to time pretended to unintentionally touch Liu Yujie's legs, Liu Yujie carefully dodged, and then the two seemed to have a quarrel, Li Wannian was still lying on the bed, Liu Yujie was quiet for about ten seconds, and suddenly picked up the ashtray next to him and smashed it at Li Wannian's head. Fang Fan judged that Li Wannian should have been smashed at that time, so he couldn't fight back. In the video, Liu Yujie beat Li Wannian like crazy, and anyone who watched it would feel that they had a grudge against their father.

"Boss, who is usually closest to Liu Yujie?"

"The closest thing is her roommate, Miaomiao."

Zhang Ze asked the boss for Miaomiao's contact information and left.

"Where did you get the photo just now?"

"It's all previous clients who came to me to follow my husband's stealing photos. The massage here is just a façade, and it is really a business in the red light district to make money. ”

"Then he should have been arrested."

"He dares to do such a blatant business, someone above must take care of it, let's deal with the matter in front of him first."

Fang Fan and Zhang Ze came to a residential area according to Miaomiao's address.

"You are Liu Yujie's roommate Miaomiao?"

"It's me, you're the one who called me?"

"Hmm."

"Come in. One by one, or two together? ”

Zhang Ze showed his ID to Miaomiao.

"Damn, the old lady has confessed, what do you want."

"Don't be nervous, we're just here to find out about Liu Yujie's situation."

"You said Xiaojie. That stupid girl is as stubborn as a donkey, how can she live in this big city without money, I have said bitterly many times, but she said nothing and refused to come out to do anything. ”

"Does she usually have a big temper?"

"Big? I won't be bullied by Li Wannian's bastard, and this time I deserve it. Xiaojie is beautiful, many guests covet her, every time it is our sisters who help her out, even if she is bullied, she will only endure it silently. ”

"And has she been doing anything strange lately?"

"Nothing strange. Just a few days ago, I saw that she was so depressed, so I took her to a bar. I remember when I went to talk to the handsome guy next to me, she sat next to her and had a drink, and then it seemed like a waitress gave her a drink. I guess it was Xiaojie's own wine, and I didn't care. ”

"Anything else weird?"

"It's gone."

"Have you seen Xiaojie since the incident?"

"I haven't seen it."

Fang Fan and Zhang Ze stood up and were about to leave, but Miao Miao suddenly stood up.

"This is Xiaojie's puppet, you give it to her, she can't sleep without this."

"Okay."

"Brother officer, remember to come to me when you have time."

Miao Miao joked with Zhang Ze, Zhang Ze's face suddenly turned red, and he pulled Fang Fan to turn around and leave, Miao Miao laughed loudly behind him.

"The rest of the clues are the brawlers."

As soon as Zhang Ze finished speaking, the phone rang.

"Zhang Ze, come back soon, something happened to the police station."

When the two rushed back to the police station, the police station was in chaos. The men who had fought last night were shouting and swearing, and some were banging the door of the cell.

"Are you all crazy?"

Zhang Ze shouted excitedly, and he saw that several of them had red eyes, which was very similar to Liu Yujie's appearance.

"Fang Fan, look at it."

"It's better to keep these people in isolation, otherwise something will happen."

Several policemen immediately detained those people in different rooms, until finally there was a man with a beard sitting on the bench, who was looking at Fang Fan and Zhang Ze calmly at this time.
