In other words, the swallows in winter are covered with heavy snow, although it is almost nine o'clock in the morning, but the gray sky still gives people a feeling of sleepiness. Xiahoudun walked into the hall of the Yuanrang group, rubbed his shoes on the carpet at the door, and prepared to go upstairs to the office.

"Team leader, I haven't seen you for a long time." A man with glasses came down from upstairs and took a look at Xiahoudun. The man looked in his early thirties, his expression was as if he froze, and he held a document in his hand, "I'm looking for you." ”

"Xun You," Xiahoudun glanced at the man and said, "I went on marriage leave a few days ago, but I came back the day before yesterday." Why did you go the other day? What are you looking for me? ”

"I'm going to Xudu for a meeting." Xun You handed the document in his hand to Xiahoudun, "There are new instructions." ”

"I'll see." Xiahoudun took the document in Xun You's hand, and saw that it read "Team Leader-level Special Operations Convening Order", so he asked Xun You in surprise: "Why didn't you notify me directly?" ”

"This is a document directly under the council," Xun Yu explained: "All the documents of the council must be entered and filed in the archives department, and then handed over to the team leader, which is a rule." ”

Xiahoudun looked at the document, nodded, and asked, "Didn't you write the action time?" ”

"It should be after New Year's Day," Xun You's expression was still frozen, and it never changed, "The specific time, according to the meaning of the council, is to notify the leaders of each group directly after the New Year's Day holiday." ”

Xiahoudun nodded and said, "I know, I've worked hard for you." ”

"Team leader, you're busy, I have a task, I'm one step ahead." Xun You said that he walked towards the gate.

"Why are you going?" Xiahoudun hurriedly asked.

"Field service." Xun Yu didn't reply back, and walked out of the office building.

Seeing Xun You leave, Xiahoudun shook his head helplessly and muttered, "Why are the uncles and nephews so different." ”

"Yes, yes," Qiao Lili at the front desk suddenly interjected: "Every time I see Section Chief Xun, I don't dare to look at his cold face, which is more gloomy than a dead corpse, and you can still talk to him." ”

After hearing this, Xiahoudun smiled bitterly, said, "It's good to get used to it", and went upstairs.

As soon as he walked up to the second floor, Xiahouyuan saw his younger brother Xiahouyuan preparing to go downstairs.

"Why are you going?" Xiahoudun looked at Xiahouyuan and asked.

"I'm out on a field trip." Xiahou Yuan replied, then pointed to the document in Xiahouyuan's hand and asked, "What is this?" ”

"'Team Leader Summoning Order,'" Xia Houdun replied, "It is said that there is a situation near Xudu, and the team leader level needs to go to support the special combat team." ”

"Xu Du? No way! When Xiahou Yuan heard this, there was a trace of panic in his eyes.

Xiahoudun looked at Xiahou Yuan's unnatural expression, and was a little surprised, "What's wrong?" ”

Xiahou Yuan thought for a moment and said to Xiahouyuan: "A few days ago, when you were still on vacation on Qiongdao, I received news that Lu Bu's third team had been stationed there for a month. ”

"A month younger?" Xiahoudun thought for a moment and said, "Isn't that the last time I went after Chen Xuan's unit appeared?" ”

"yes!" Xiahou Yuan continued to explain, "What do you think, with Lu Bu's strength and being stationed for a month, it can't be solved, what kind of problem does it have to be!" ”

"Alas, you're thinking too much." Xia Houdun patted his younger brother on the shoulder and comforted: "Garrisoning is not only to deal with things, reconnaissance, ambush, and exploration all take time, and they are also the work of the action team under their special combat team. ”

"Anyway, be careful, the task of being able to transfer the special combat team out must not be easy." Xiahou Yuan said, relieved for a while, and then anxiously prepared to go downstairs, "I still have something, I'll talk to you when I go home!" There's no time right now. ”

"Hey, stop!" Xiahoudun grabbed Xiahouyuan, "Why didn't you eat at home in the morning?" ”

"Scared me, I thought something was going on." Xiahou Yuan straightened his clothes and replied impatiently, "I made an appointment with Ding Yao yesterday and ate out this morning." ”

"Come on." Xiahoudun nodded, then waved his hand, "You go." ”

Watching Xiahou Yuan go downstairs, Xiahouyuan went up to the third floor and came to his office.

Sitting at his desk, Xiahoudun put the documents issued by the bureau in a drawer and began to review the case records on the desk. According to the regulations of the Linglu Bureau, all cases need to have corresponding case records, and after the case is processed, the files will be handed over to the group from each station and then everywhere, and reviewed layer by layer to avoid mistakes.

When Xiahoudun reviewed a record of the Tiangu station he had just arrived at yesterday, he found such a case: this is a ghost murder incident, the deceased is a newlywed, both were killed on the wedding day, the man's heart was pulled out, his head was twisted, and his limbs were seriously damaged; The woman's neck was cut off, and the blow was fatal. The conclusion given by Tiangu Station is that the murderer was a female ghost, who was the man's ex-girlfriend before his death. Tiangu Station caught this terrible ghost and overtook it.

"Strange......" Xiahoudun continued to flip through the file, with a trace of doubt and uneasiness in his heart. He looked at the attached photos, one of which was a photo of a ghost taken by the team members of Tiangu Station, so he picked up this photo and compared it with the photo of the ghost before his death, and found that the girl who turned into a ghost was not much different from the appearance before his death, which made Xiahoudun feel even more strange.

You must know that the method of asking for the life of the ghost is directly related to its resentment value, and the resentment value of the ghost has a fairly complete set of theoretical basis and calculation and measurement methods within the Spirit Record Bureau. Powerful ghosts who can generally kill people directly, and the resentment value is generally above 6.0 resentment, and the fierce ghosts above this resentment value usually have hideous faces, which are very different from their appearance before death. And the ghost formed by jumping off the building to commit suicide, no matter how much resentment there is before death, the resentment value will not exceed 3.5 after death, this kind of ghost does not have the ability to kill people directly, and can only hide in the shadows and disturb people's lives.

This makes this case contradictory, the girl in the photo turned into a ghost, at best, it only looks 2.0 resentful, it can be said that it just happened to turn into a ghost, so how can it have the ability to kill people and ask for their lives?

With this question, Xiahoudun picked up the landline on the table and dialed the phone number of the stationmaster's office at Tiangu Station. With a few connecting tones, a bright man's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Hello, Linglu Bureau Tiangu Station." ”

Xiahoudun had a very good relationship with Cai Yang, the head of Tiangu in private, and of course he heard his voice at once, "Cai Yang, I'm Xiahoudun." ”

"Brother Monkey," Cai Yang said in an enthusiastic tone on the other end of the phone, "Do you have any instructions?" ”

Xiahoudun took a deep breath and asked straight to the point: "Last week, did you personally handle the Tiangu Devil Murder Incident?" ”

"Last week?" Cai Yang thought for a moment and said, "It's not me, it seems that our little king went to do it, and I approved it." ”

"Didn't you find any problems when you approved it?" Xiahoudun asked with a slightly questioning tone.

"Questions?" Cai Yang was stunned by Xiahoudun's words, and quickly asked, "What's the problem?" ”

"Did you see the picture?" Xia Houdun frowned, holding the telephone receiver with one hand, and the fingers of the other hand kept tapping lightly on the desktop, "That terrible ghost looks at the resentment value is less than 3.0, how did it kill people?" ”

There was no reply on the other end of the phone, just a sound of rummaging for something, and after a while, Cai Yang continued: "Really, why didn't I find out at the time?" ”

"Also," Xiahoudun picked up the teacup and took a sip, and continued to ask, "I see that there is a record in the dossier, saying that when the ghost was captured, the target reacted strongly, right?" ”

"Yes, yes." Cai Yang replied, "Xiao Wang also told me when he came back, saying that the ghost was struggling for a while. ”

Xiahoudun took a deep breath and said, "Under normal circumstances, after the revenge is completed, the resentment value of the ghost will be weakened to about 1.0, and then gradually turn back into an ordinary ghost, waiting to die or someone to overtake it. Then what do you say, what is the reason for this terrible ghost struggling and refusing to surrender? ”

There was a moment of silence on the phone, "Perhaps, it has other revenge that it has not avenged?" ”

"How is that possible?" Xiahoudun shook his head helplessly, he picked up a pen and poked a wallet on the table, and raised his voice, "If it has so much hatred, then its resentment value will not be so low!" ”

There was silence on the other side of the phone for a while, "So what is the reason?" ”

"Because of what?" Xiahoudun's tone revealed some impatience, "Because it didn't kill people!" ”

"What?" Cai Yang said in surprise: "You mean, this case has completely failed?" ”

"That's right!" Xiahoudun threw the pen on the table, "You find someone to answer, and I will leave immediately and go to Tiangu!" ”

Xiahoudun arrived at Tiangu Railway Station, got off the high-speed rail, and walked out of the station, and saw Cai Yang already waiting there. Cai Yang had a small head, and his mature face still had some childishness, he had eyes and was wearing a suit, and when he saw Xiahoudun coming, he stepped forward to answer, "Brother Monkey, you don't say what time you will take the car, fortunately, I calculated correctly." ”

"Why are you here in person?" Xiahoudun looked at Cai Yang and was surprised to find that he didn't send a subordinate to pick him up as usual.

"Can I not come in person?" Cai Yang smiled bitterly, handed the file bag in his hand to Xiahoudun, and led him to the direction of the parking lot, "You are here to ask the guilt, I am afraid that you will scare the new members who have just joined the company." ”

"What is this?" Xiahoudun followed Cai Yang, glanced at the file bag and asked.

"I know you are efficient," Cai Yang patted Xiahoudun on the shoulder, "No, while you are on the train, I will put some details about this case for you to see for the first time." ”

"Well, you still know me." Xiahoudun smiled with satisfaction, and followed Cai Yang to the parking lot.
