The fifth case is an exploration of the ancient cave

A look at the spirit

In our Chinese myths and legends. There is an extremely strange animal. It has shrimp eyes, antlers, bull's mouth, dog nose, cat's whiskers, lion's mane, snake tail, fish scales, eagle claws, and nine kinds of animals combined into one nine different images. It has a profound impact on our Chinese nation. Our ancestors Emperor Yan and Emperor Huangdi. Legend has it that it has a close relationship. Even. We, the descendants of Yan and Huang, claim to be its descendants. Whereas. The name of this animal is called. Dragon.

this month. Two big things happened in the city. First. Two heroes who saved the city from a mysterious terrorist group five years ago have resurfaced and come together. They are Tang Peng and Cheng Shuai of Ssangyong Detective Agency. Second. When Mr. Zhang Hailin, a young explorer in high demand in the city, organized a team of young explorers to explore an ancient cave discovered in Yunnan not long ago. Mysteriously disappeared along with his expedition. It's as if the world has evaporated

Gu Ling holding a map of the city. Hesitantly parked in front of a dilapidated apartment. I can't match the building in front of me with the fantasy picture in my mind. She opens the cap of the mineral water bottle. Take a sip of water. Turned his head in disappointment. Walk back to the turn of the street. Then follow the markers on the map more carefully. You can raise your head. Still the dilapidated apartment I saw. She was confused.

Then. One wears an outdated shirt. A sweaty middle-aged man strode out of the apartment. As he walked, he turned around and scolded loudly:

"Phew. Also known as a detective. Damn it. I owe so much rent. and Lao Tzu pretending to be poor. Next time, if you don't pay the rent, Lao Tzu told you all to get out. Whatever you city heroes are"

Gu Ling didn't hear what he was scolding clearly. I only saw someone coming out of it. hurriedly greeted him and politely stopped him:

"Uncle. Excuse me?"

"Ahh Uncle." The middle-aged man stopped and looked the polite little girl up and down. Seventeen or eighteen years old. A melon seed face. Supple skin. He has big eyes like a puddle of autumn water." Just call me big brother. Actually, I'm not that old as I look. Little girl. What's the matter?"

"Excuse me. Is this the Ssangyong Detective Agency?"

"Yes. This is the two poor Ssangyong detective agency. I'm their landlord, Wang Xiaoer. These two bastards owe rent and don't pay it back with a bad attitude. I was right. Are you here to visit or interview. Do you know the rules?"

"Ahh Thank you." Gu Ling thought to himself, as long as he knew that he was not looking in the wrong place. Just wanted to go in. I heard Wang Xiaoer ask like this. I don't feel a little curious." What rules."

"Simple. Market price. Interview 12,000. Visit six thousand. 20% off holidays. The money is all over to me."

“”

"Look at how smart you look. I'll give you half the price."

"Thank you. I have entrusted to them. I went in first. We'll talk next time." Gu Ling said goodbye to Wang Xiaoer in embarrassment. Hurriedly walked into the apartment.

"Hey. Don't go. How about a trifold. Feel relieved. I don't play unspoken rules. Feed. Little girl"

Gu Ling went up the stairs. Come to a door that is quite old. I can't help but be thundered by the door number hanging on the doorknob. I saw that the door number was written in crooked words:

Ssangyong Detective Agency

Clear choice. Excellent service

There's an x (two) genius detective inside.

Wholeheartedly for your negative x (go) soup fire.

Telephone: 68678748

(Sorry: I don't have a phone yet)

Gu Ling looked at the door number and was stunned for a while. She is not very interested in detectives and reasoning. Not much is known about the Ssangyong Detective Agency. I only know that I heard rumors that the best detective agency in the city is this one. According to what you can see with your own eyes. This is simply a third-rate detective agency, Gu Ling sweated. A deep sigh. Prepare to turn around and leave.

Suddenly out of the door flew out a man wearing a trench coat. Slovenly. Some sloppy young people. The man seemed to have been kicked out. Hit hard down the aisle. Gu Ling was taken aback. Just about to step forward and help him. But the man stood up on his own as if nothing had happened. Then he spat arrogantly to the side. Jumped up and rushed straight into the room. Gu Ling stood in place a little bewildered. What just happened has not yet been reflected. I heard a "bump" again. A young man flew out of the door. He fell heavily in front of Gu Ling. Just not the one just now. This one looks much neater and more elaborate in terms of dress. And both eyes seem to be invisible. There is an air of maturity all over the body. The man groped his way up from the ground. Shrugged his shoulders. Gracefully walked into the room again and after a while. There was a loud noise in the room as if there was a war

The legend of the two dragons

Gu Ling opened his mouth wide. I was stunned for a long time. What had just happened made her unable to stop her curiosity and quietly walked to the door. Half of his head stretched out and looked into the room. I saw that the two young men just now were scuffling together like enemies. On the sofa not far away, two teenagers about his own size sat together, huddled together and reading the newspaper as if nothing happened. Next to the table in the middle of the room stood a beautiful young girl. A faceless one rubbing the table. On her left. There was a sweet-looking and cute girl who was smiling and watching the two young men fight. There is no intention of persuasion. The other three all ignored the two young men next to them who were in a hot fight. It's as if you don't see it. Gu Ling unconsciously blinked his big eyes in surprise. A sentence flashed in my mind: this is the Ssangyong Detective Agency

Suddenly. Gu Ling felt that something was wrong. Subconsciously lowered my head to look. Unconsciously frightened, he cried out:

"Ahh

Sky. There was a wolf at her feet. The wolf's two eyes were looking at her with a faint green light, and Gu Ling was so frightened that he almost fainted.

"Bart. Come over. Don't freak out the guests." With a sweet voice came. Gu Ling saw a tall and beautiful young girl. The girl is about twenty-three years old. There was a pair of beautiful eyes in her moon-like face. It makes people feel that whenever she smiles sweetly. The autumn water will bloom like spring flowers. It's like falling into a dream, and the girl is carrying a big shopping bag full of things. Guiltily apologized to Gu Ling. and smiled and invited her into the room." You're here to entrust the case. Please come in. Don't be afraid. Bart (not used to calling it Tang Peng) last night everyone voted collectively to give it this name. It's quite smooth) is a human wolf. Won't attack you. My name is Li Ying. Call me Sakura-chan. You may be seated."

Sakura led Gu Ling to the sofa. The two teenagers who had been sitting on the sofa and reading the newspaper with nothing to do found out that the guests had arrived. Hurriedly scrambling to get up and give up his seat to Gu Ling. and scramble to pour her tea. Gu Ling sat down undecided. Just ready to speak. One of the teenagers flatteringly brought tea and put it in front of him. At the same time, I consciously did it alongside:

"Miss. My name is Bi Chengcheng. He is the future successor of this detective agency. Miss, you are so beautiful. Look about the same age as me. Have no boyfriend. How tall is it. Measurements. Weight"

"Brother Cheng. You give me a side." Then. The other teenager couldn't help but say that Bi Chengcheng pulled aside. Miss. My name is Li Han. He is the right-hand man of this detective agency. The number one successor of the future. Is there anything you can say to me. We're both busy right now. I'm sorry."

Talking. Li Han casually pointed to his back. Gu Ling looked in the direction pointed by Li Han. Seeing that the two young men were still fighting just now. She didn't notice a drop of sweat.

"Guests are coming. My name is Liu Min. Ah. I just finished wiping the table. Hands are a little dirty, and it's inconvenient to shake hands with you. I'm so sorry." The beautiful girl who was wiping the table smiled awkwardly at Lonely. At the same time, he turned his head and said softly to another cute girl who was smiling and watching the two young men fight. Sister Chang Jing. You go and receive the guests. lest they be scared away by Li Han and Bi Chengcheng again. Thank you for your hard work. Come. I'll help you carry it into the kitchen."

Talking. Liu Min put down the wipe. Hurriedly came over and helped Sakura carry things into the kitchen. This side. Chang Jing responded. He walked over with a smile and drove away Li Han and Bi Chengcheng. sat next to Gu Ling:

"This little sister. My name is Chang Jing. Pls do you have anything?"

Gu Ling looked around. Blankly asked:

"My name is Gu Ling. That one. Which of you is really in charge?"

"It's me." The two who were fighting suddenly stopped. Hurriedly ran to Gu Ling and sat down." Ssangyong Detective Agency. Is there anything I can do for you? What do you have to do)."

Gu Ling looked at the two people who were bruised and swollen speechlessly. One of them still has a nosebleed. She let out a self-deprecating sneer. Then he got up and said numbly:

"I have something to entrust to you. But suddenly I think maybe you don't fit this thing. Excuse me. Excused me."

Talking. Gu Ling turned around and walked towards the door. Prepare to leave.

"If you want us to help you find out about your sister following Zhang Hailin to the ancient cave in Yunnan to explore the mystery of her disappearance. I don't think you're looking for the wrong person."

Gu Ling stopped violently. looked at the man who said this in amazement. The man was looking at himself with those unseen but deep eyes. Gu Ling's mind vaguely flashed some fragments of conversations discussed by others. The content of the conversation has been blurred. But it leaves one name: the god of reasoning. TANG Peng. She shook her head. Sober yourself up. Surprised, he asked:

"How do you know"

"Sit down and talk. Beautiful little brat." Then. There was a sound from the couch. Gu Ling walked over obediently. Sit back on the couch. Look at the man who spoke. The man had a slanted scar at the corner of his eye. But judging from the appearance and characteristics, it is definitely the rumored Saint. CHENG Shuai. I saw that the other party suddenly showed an exaggerated smile. And then he explained in a serious way. It's as simple as hell. We're also very interested in the disappearance of the guy named Zhang. So also did some research privately. One of his expeditions had just turned eighteen. A Hunan girl named Gu Ting. Do you need to explain the rest of the following? Your name is Gu Ling. Her name is Gu Ting. And I heard you speak just now, there is a strong Hunan accent, and a Hunan girl named Gu Ting has mysteriously disappeared for less than a few days. There is a person named Gu Ling who speaks with a Hunan accent. And a girl of about the same size came to the detective agency and claimed that she had something to entrust. Or find the best detective agency in the city. Coincidental words. It's outrageous. I'm sure you're not here to make soy sauce."

"Please help me. Money is not a problem......" said. Gu Ling hurriedly took out a large handful of change from his body. Each one was crumpled and crumpled. There's also a little body fragrance on it. You can see it. It's something she's been saving for a long time. But she didn't know. This money. Not even half the honorarium for hiring a second-rate private detective.

Cheng Shuai glanced at the money. Didn't speak. The others next to him didn't feel a little sad. Tang Peng groped and walked over. Gently sat down beside Gu Ling. I touched the money with my hand. The brow furrowed slightly. Then he said calmly:

"That's a lot of money. We detective agencies have no place to put it. Keep it for yourself. In the future, we have enough space in the detective agency, and you can pay for it again. Now tell me what you're asking for."

"Ahh Gu Ling was stunned. looked at Tang Peng in surprise. Then he looked at Cheng Shuai and the other people from the detective agency. None of them had any objections. Gu Ling hesitated. Carefully put the money back into your pocket. Said sadly." My sister and I are twin sisters. Our mom and dad died at our birth. Both of us sisters were raised by our grandmothers. Available two years ago. Grandma also passed away. We had to work small jobs to support ourselves. We drifted to this city not long ago to work. Just over two weeks ago. The explorer named Zhang Hailin found us. Asked us some questions. Then I asked one of the two of us if she would be interested in accompanying her to an ancient cave to explore. Say yes. When we came back from the expedition, they gave us a lot of money. That's enough money to feed and drink for a lifetime. So"

"Your sister is protecting you. So she took the risk and followed Zhang Hailin herself, didn't she?" Tang Peng frowned. Asked softly.

"Yes."

"Damn. Find an out-of-town girl with no experience in adventure for no reason. It's fucking fun." Cheng Shuai crossed his legs. Asked her with interest. What did that fool ask you a question?"

"I think about it, Eun seems to be asking how old we are. What year is the birthday, which month, which day and so on. and asked if we were virgins" Gu Ling's face flushed. It's so easy to be embarrassed to say it.

|“ Oh. Then you are not." Cheng Shuai suddenly became interested. drooling and leaning his face in front of Gu Ling.

"Bump". Touch." Bump" a few crisp boxing sounds rang out. Cheng Shuai was dragged away from Gu Ling by Liu Min and Sakura like a dead dog. Gu Ling unconsciously sweated. Smiled embarrassedly

"Excuse me. Did your sister contact you since? For example, tell you the purpose of Zhang Hailin's visit to the ancient cave. I'm sure he's not just going to do it for the sake of exploration." Tang Peng lowered his face. Asked seriously.

"Yes, indeed. My sister wrote me a few letters. In the letter she seemed excited and excited. Say that Zhang Hailin is a good person. If they can find what they are looking for on this expedition. Then they're going to shock the world."

"Oh." Tang Peng came interested. Sitting upright, he asked. Did your sister mention what they were looking for in the letter?"

"It's vague. It's just a few words about 'dragon scales'.' Legend of the Dragon' or something"

Everyone present was shocked at the same time. They all cried out:

"Dragon scales. Legend of the Dragon."
