Chapter 32: Separate Actions

After Ling Fuxue walked away, Zhou Kui and Guo Jia closed the door at the same time and walked out of the room.

"Senior Brother Zhou, let's go have breakfast first, and after eating, we will start investigating."

Zhou Kui nodded and said, "Okay, then let's take the elevator directly to the restaurant on the second floor." ”

When the two were waiting for the elevator, Guo Jia's mobile phone rang non-stop, he took out his mobile phone and glanced at the caller ID, with a surprised smile on his face: "It turned out to be Ruolan!" ”

"Hey, Ruolan, is there anything wrong with looking for me early in the morning?"

"Brother Jia, I'm going to come to Shuangling Group for an interview today."

"Strange, didn't you say you wouldn't have an interview?"

"I received a notice last night that the interview was held at 10 o'clock this morning in the conference room on the eighteenth floor of the company."

"That's right, we're going to have breakfast now, when are you coming?"

"It's about 8 o'clock."

"Alright, call me when you arrive, and I'll come down and pick you up."

"Well, then I'll hang up first, goodbye Brother Jia!"

Hanging up the phone, Guo Jia's face was still filled with a bright smile, and Zhou Kui couldn't help but think in his heart: "Senior brother, is this falling in love?" ”

Half an hour later, the two had breakfast and began to investigate the paranormal events that occurred in the company building.

"Let's start with the disappearance of white-collar workers on August 15 last year."

Guo Jia searched the name and work department of the killed white-collar worker on the Internet in advance, Zhou Kui glanced at the photo of the white-collar worker, and couldn't help but exclaim: "I'll go, isn't this Senior Sister Lin Lan?" ”

"Someone you know?" Guo Jia raised an eyebrow.

"She was a substitute for us in our freshman and sophomore years, and she was a very capable person, alas, I didn't expect to leave at such a young age." Zhou Kui looked at the photo of Senior Sister Lin Lan and said in a sad tone.

Guo Jia nodded and didn't say anything more.

The two took the elevator to the thirteenth floor, the office where Lin Lan worked before her death.

"Hello Director Li, we are the Taoist priests of the Heavenly Master Mansion invited by President Ling, and we want to know some things about Lin Lan's disappearance."

The sales department where Lin Lan works is located on the thirteenth floor of the company building, and the director of the sales department is named Li Wencai, a young man about the same age as Guo Jia, but his hair has fallen to the top, and he looks extremely inappropriate for his age.

"Mr. Ling has already explained to me, what do the two Dao Masters want to ask, but it doesn't matter!"

Guo Jia briefly asked about Lin Lan's situation, such as her work ability and performance.

"Lin Lan usually works very hard, and her performance has always ranked first in our department. Alas, since that happened last year, the performance of our sales department has been declining, and the company's stock price has fallen to the bottom, and it is possible to declare bankruptcy at any time. Li Wencai sat on the sofa, recalling Lin Lan's death, and his hands couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Next, Guo Jia asked him about Lin Lan's situation in the office on August 15, and Li Wencai's answer was not much different from the facts ascertained by the police.

If I continued to ask, I could not find any valuable clues.

The two said goodbye to Li Wencai and walked to the corridor outside the office, Guo Jia instructed Zhou Kui: "You go to investigate the two things of the cleaner falling from the building and the suicide of the employee of the marketing department." ”

"What about Brother Jia?"

Guo Jia stood in front of the shutters, looked at the large-scale abandoned park not far away, and said with a solemn face: "I will go to the place where Lin Lan's body was found to see the situation, maybe there will be something different." ”

"Okay, then we'll call us."

"Feel free to report to me if there is any situation!"

After Guo Jia left, Zhou Kui acted quickly, he glanced at the floor index map, and at this moment, a cleaner happened to pass by him.

"Hello Auntie, I want to ask you something!"

......

According to the information searched on the Internet, Guo Jia came to a sewer a few hundred meters away from the company building.

"When the body was found, one of the body's hands was stuck in a crack in the fence, and it seemed to be this place."

Guo Jia pulled out the Seven Star Sword and pried open the fence without much effort.

"I didn't expect this sewer to be so deep, strange, how did the corpse float up?"

Guo Jia found that a few days before the discovery of the corpse, heavy rain fell in the area where the company is located, causing the water level in the sewer to rise sharply, and the corpse floated up just when it was stuck by the fence.

"Do you want to go down and have a look?"

Just hesitating, Zhou Kui suddenly sent a message, Guo Jia opened the WeChat chat interface, and saw Zhou Kui's message: "I asked a person familiar with the matter, and she said that there was nothing abnormal on the morning of the deceased's fall from the building, although the conclusion announced by the police was suicide, but she doubted this conclusion." ”

After reading the message, Guo Jia replied: "You continue to investigate, I have already found the sewer where Lin Lan's body was found." ”

"Senior brother, pay attention to safety, call if you have something!"

"Okay, you have to be careful, too."

Guo Jia exited the WeChat chat interface and turned on the flashlight on his phone, and the white beam of light shot into the dark and deep sewer, reflecting on the muddy sewage.

"If you want to find out the truth about Lin Lan's death, it seems necessary to take a trip to the sewers."

In order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Guo Jia took out a copper coin from the yellow cloth bag.

"Start the action if it's head-on, or cancel it."

After throwing copper coins several times in a row, the results were all opposites, Guo Jia laughed self-deprecatingly: "Today's luck is not good, let's talk about it another day." ”

Guo Jia stood up and was about to walk back, when a crisp splashing sound suddenly came from the sewer.

"There's something down there?"

Guo Jia pulled out the seven-star sword again, approached the mouth of the sewer as if walking on thin ice, and looked down.

"There are ripples on the water, which means that something is really moving just now!" An electric light flashed in Guo Jia's mind, and a strong desire for knowledge ignited in his heart.

As soon as one foot stepped into the sewer, a familiar voice sounded behind Guo Jia: "Brother Jia, what are you doing squatting there?" ”

Guo Jia turned his head and said with an unnatural face: "It turned out to be Ruolan, you came really fast!" ”

Shen Ruolan was wearing a smart suit and looked like a white-collar worker in the workplace.

Guo Jia put the seven-star sword back into its scabbard, stood up, and walked towards Shen Ruolan.

"I came here by online car-hailing, and I arrived in about half an hour. Brother Jia, I'll go up for an interview first, and we'll talk slowly later. ”

"Well, I wish you a good interview!"

After Shen Ruolan left, Guo Jia secretly sighed: "Let's do this for the time being today." ”

At 12 noon, Guo Jia and Zhou Kui came to the restaurant on the second floor on time to meet.

"Alas, Ruolan is here too?" Zhou Kui said in surprise while eating noodles.

Guo Jia glanced at the mobile phone on the table, and muttered: "It's all here, isn't the interview over yet?" ”

The two were enjoying lunch when there was a sudden commotion in the restaurant, and Guo Jia heard someone say that the conference room on the eighteenth floor was haunted.

"How can it be haunted in broad daylight?"

Guo Jia and Zhou Kui got up at the same time, picked up the yellow cloth bag, and took the elevator straight to the eighteenth floor.

"No, Ruolan's mobile phone is turned off, and I can't contact him!"

Guo Jia was anxious, for fear that something would happen to Ruolan.

Finally came to the eighteenth floor, Guo Jia and Zhou Kui each held the magic weapon in their hands, and cautiously approached the door of the conference room.

"Let Lao Bai go in and see the situation first." Guo Jia whispered to Zhou Kui.

"Lao Bai is still asleep in the room."

Guo Jia replied a little speechlessly: "It seems that I can't count on him today!" ”

Zhou Kui put his ear on the door, and vaguely heard a thumping sound from inside.

"It sounds like there's been a big fight."

Guo Jia listened, pulled the handrail of the conference room with one hand, and tried to force it open with brute force.

"The door is locked from the inside, and you have to go and find the key to open it." Zhou Kui stared at the conference room and analyzed in a serious tone.

Guo Jia shook his head, clenched the seven-star sword in his right hand, and whispered in his mouth: "There is no time, Senior Brother Zhou stand farther away, I am going to break the door directly!" ”

Zhou Kui swallowed his saliva and pretended to be surprised and said, "Okay, I hope Mr. Ling won't ask us to compensate for the loss." ”

Watching Zhou Kui walk dozens of meters away, Guo Jia poured a stream of spiritual power condensed in his right hand into the Seven Star Sword.

"Thunder Thousand Troops Break!"

The tip of the Seven-Star Sword burst out with a powerful shockwave accompanied by blue thunder, blasting open the door of the conference room like a sea of mountains.

In order not to hurt the people inside, Guo Jia had suppressed the power of this move to a minimum, just blowing up the gate to deform, revealing a gap that could be passed through.
