Chapter 6: The First Case
Looking at these two interesting colleagues, the smile in Zhuzhi's eyes became more and more obvious: "I think it's okay." ”
After greetings, Zhuzhi took them directly to the backyard wing, he pushed open the door of the wing, and said with a smile: "If the adults are not here today, you can stay here for the time being, and I will take you to meet the adults tomorrow." ”
"There's Brother Lao Zhuzhi." Bai Xi looked at the bamboo branches and shook his hands.
Jun Qingran also learned from his appearance, but none of the actions were right.
Zhuzhi couldn't help laughing: "Everyone is a colleague, so naturally there is no need to be so polite." Feel free to do it. ”
"Dude, I just like your character, I don't know how many times better than someone! By the way, do you have a match? How about I introduce you to a few? ”
Jun Qingran suddenly patted Zhuzhi's back happily, and she wanted to continue, only to feel a pain in her buttocks. She turned around angrily, and Hao Ran saw Bai Xi's vicious eyes. She screamed, "The surname is white, what do you want? Don't think I'm afraid to beat you up if you're good-looking! ”
"Okay, you can try it!" Bai Xi's tone was a little cold, as if he was deliberately maintaining a relationship with her.
At this time, Jun Qingran, who realized it later, found that Zhuzhi's ears were slightly red, and knew that he was shy, so he obediently closed his mouth.
Bai Xi broke the awkward atmosphere, he smiled and patted Zhuzhi's shoulder and smiled: "I told you, he has a bad brain and likes to joke, don't worry about it, Brother Zhuzhi." ”
Jun Qingran just wanted to go back, but when he saw Bai Xi's eyes full of warning, he instantly fell back and stopped resisting.
"Hey, it's okay. It's getting late, you rest first, I'll go back first. Takezhi cleared his throat and said.
Bai Xi nodded silently, and then sent the bamboo branch out of the door.
Jun Qingran looked at the back of Zhuzhi leaving and asked slowly: "Hey, what kind of person is Zhuzhi?" ”
She sat in a chair, her chin in her hands, and she looked like an unfathomable worldly master.
Bai Xi asked with a cold face, "What, do you see anything different?" ”
Jun Qingran looked at him and smiled faintly: "No, I just think he has an extraordinary bearing and should be a good colleague." ”
As she spoke, her eyes kept rolling, as if she was thinking about a ghost again.
Bai Xi picked up the cup on the table and shook the water in the cup at will, no one knew what he was thinking.
The next day, Jun Qingran and Bai Xi got up early in the morning. Bamboo Branch seemed to have calculated the time, and just as they were about to go out, Bamboo Branch also knocked on the door. The knock on the door reached Jun Qingran's ears, and she hurriedly opened the door and greeted Zhuzhi with a smile.
Zhuzhi smiled and said, "My lord wants to see you, please come with me!" ”
Without saying a word, the two followed the bamboo branch to the court, and at this time, Jun Qing saw a woman sitting on the ground above the court, her face full of tears, and she raised her tone and cried: "My lord, you have to make the decision for me!" ”
"Don't cry first, if you have any grievances and talk about them carefully, the official will naturally make decisions for you."
The person sitting on the top of the court was not angry and arrogant, in Jun Qingran's impression, he was exactly the same as the image of Bao Qingtian on TV, and what was even more coincidental was that he was also surnamed Bao. Jun Qingran thought to himself, could he be Bao Qingtian's descendant? No, no, no, there is no record in the history books of Moyue Kingdom, and the people here have great magical powers, at least it should be earlier than the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, or maybe it is in ancient times, so this Lord Bao should be the ancestor of Bao Qingtian. But no matter what, this Lord Bao must be a good official, definitely.
When the woman heard this, she stopped crying, and said while sobbing: "My lord, the poor woman is from this county, and her family lives by the stone pan. My husband went to Manxian Tower three years ago to work, and never came back. A few days ago, I went to Manxian Tower to ask for someone, and they actually ...... It was said that there was no such person at all. My lord, I personally sent my husband there, and I saw him walk into the Manxian Tower. ”
The grievances in the woman's heart were indescribable, she sobbed in a low voice, and the sadness in her heart was self-evident.
Master Bao suddenly raised his voice and asked, "Have you been to Manxian Tower?" So how did you leave? ”
"They kicked me out...... Woo~" The woman said to herself, not noticing the surprise on Lord Bao's face.
"Is there such a thing? Don't worry, I'll give you an answer as soon as possible. You stand down. ”
"Thank you, my lord, my lord's kindness is unforgettable!"
Master Bao nodded slowly: "Retreat!" ”
After the woman left, Zhuzhi brought Jun Qingran and Baixi to Lord Bao and said, "Lord Bao, they have arrived." ”
Master Bao glanced up at the two of them, and then asked, "Are you two willing to come to me on an errand?" Hey, in recent years, floods and droughts have continued one after another, and the people of the world are not able to make a living, and most of the taxes have been handed over to the above. But don't worry, follow me, you won't starve to death. ”
Jun Qingran was about to say something, but Bai Xi preemptively asked, "I don't know what the adults think about the case just now?" ”
Master Bao shook his head helplessly and replied, "I won't tell you anything, in fact, ...... The woman's husband was not the only one who disappeared, and in the past three years, people have reported the case almost every day. And those who disappeared were all missing in Manxian Tower. That's why I asked her just now how she left Manxian Tower. ”
"Haven't you checked it then?" Jun Qingran asked.
"Of course I did." Master Bao's face turned pale, "It's just that the arrester we sent to investigate the case didn't come back, so ...... So ......"
"So you're severely understaffed here?" Jun Qingran was stunned, so to speak, didn't they really come to die this time?
Zhuzhi said with a hateful face: "I can't hide it, in the past three years, all the brothers have disappeared. I think...... This Manxian Building is clearly a demon building. ”
"Didn't you think about those in the Manxian Building...... Not human? ”
"Not people? That's ......," Bao and Takezhi asked in unison.
"It's a demon!" Bai Xi, who had been silent, said seriously.
Take-eda looked at him in surprise and asked in surprise, "Youkai?" No way? It is said that the Prime Minister of the East had set a ban around the Moyue Kingdom, and it was impossible for those evil animals in the demon world to break through the ban and come to the human world to do evil......"
"There have been accidents for a long time, and perhaps, it may be impossible to say where the ban has gone wrong." Baixi was still cold.
"That's right, so that everything makes sense." Jun Qingran followed Bai Xi's train of thought and continued, "I think they may be plotting some unspeakable and shocking secrets, which are basically written in novels in our time. ”
Jun Qingran scratched her head with a smile, feeling that she was really the smartest woman in the new era.
The corners of Bai Xi's mouth twitched, this girl is really normal, but it is only three quarters of an hour.
"So what are we going to do?" Master Bao asked.
"One more trip." Bai Xi's eyes were full of depth.
Take-eda asked again, "But what reason did we use this time?" ”
"Check the accounts." Jun Qingran replied mischievously, "In our era, every company would have some problems on its books, so I think Manxian Lou is no exception. Anyway, let's get in first, and then kill him by surprise. ”
Zhuzhi suddenly realized, and nodded solemnly: "It's a good idea." ”
Master Bao gave Jun Qingran and Bai Xi a quick knife, and then specially advised, so that the three of them went to Manxian Tower together. Within half an hour, the three of them stood at the door of the Manxian Tower.
Jun Qingran covered her mouth with her hand and turned back to ask Bai Xi, "How is it?" Did you find anything? ”
Bai Xi motioned for her not to speak yet, and generally speaking, Manxian Lou was like other restaurants, but business was very good.
"The people who come in and out of the restaurant are all men!" Jun Qing looked at the people coming in and out intently, and analyzed, "Shouldn't this be a restaurant on the surface, but actually a green building?" ”
"You seem to be very interested in Qinglou, huh?" Bai Xi looked at her thoughtfully, with an unusual tone in his words.
Jun Qingran shook his body: "Hey, hey, don't talk nonsense, I don't understand anything, just guess casually." ”
She said that she blinked her big eyes, and the sparkling in her contact lenses fascinated Bai Xi's eyes for a while, and Bai Xi couldn't help but be stunned.
In a trance, a sedan chair landed in front of the door of Manxian Tower, and Jun Qingran and Bai Xi immediately became nervous. But when they first walked into the shop next to them, and when they came out again, everyone dressed up in disguise, and they were divided into two groups. One group of people went elsewhere, while the other group walked into the Manxian Tower.
Jun Qingran and Bai Xi tacitly glanced at each other, Jun Qingran took the brunt of the walk into the Manxian Building, while Bai Xi followed the other group of people and quickly disappeared.
Jun Qingran walked into the Manxian Building and found the most corner to sit down, she looked around carefully, Hao Ran found that the surrounding decorations were extremely unique, like the four walls were pasted with modern wallpaper. But the strange thing is that the patterns on the wallpaper are very uncomfortable, and if you look closely, it has the style of the Western Regions.
In a daze, she had been sitting here for a long time, but strangely no one had come to greet her. Suddenly, she noticed an even more strange phenomenon, only people here came in, but none of them went out. She roughly sorted out her thoughts, from the time she came in to the present, there have been many people who have entered the Manxian Building, but there are still a few people in the hall, could it be that those who came in have all evaporated out of thin air?
She is a lawyer, and the first condition is to be rigorous in her thinking, and she immediately thought of the key points. Since no one is going out, what happens if you go out yourself?
Thinking of this, she hurriedly got up and walked towards the door, and suddenly, the surrounding pictures suddenly changed, and everything around her was like an image showing the fate of those guests who entered the Manxian Building. She watched a thrilling horror movie with 3D glasses, and the guests were being torn apart by a group of wolf-headed monsters, their faces gradually becoming hideous, and screams and cries for help filled her ears. She subconsciously retreated, she even smelled a sickening fishy smell, her heart was beating like a drum, she clenched her fists uneasily, her legs went limp, and her throat was dry.
"No, I can't die."
I don't know where the strength came from, Jun Qingran turned around and ran back. At the same time, the screams around her became more and more intense, cold sweat oozed from her forehead and palms, and her body trembled violently with fear. She felt like her brain was blank, as if she couldn't hold on any longer.
Suddenly, the bloody corpses stood upright, and the smile on the corner of their mouths made people feel a little frightened. Blood stained the ground. The monsters roared to the sky and approached her step by step. Her eyes were filled with fear, and just as she was distracted, a monster bit her shoulder fiercely. A muffled snort escaped her mouth, indicating that she was seriously injured. As more and more youkai pounced, she finally couldn't hold it anymore and fell heavily to the ground.
In her confusion, she felt someone hugging her, and she struggled to open her eyes, only to see that the man was wearing a night suit, and her two exposed eyes could not see any emotion in the night...... She opened her mouth to say something, but she fainted.
The man in black glanced at the person in his arms, and then coldly at the monsters who were trying to approach.
The monsters were so frightened that they took a few steps back, not daring to make any more moves. The man in black couldn't help but pick up Jun Qingran in his arms, and a trace of tenderness suddenly flashed in his eyes. Even though he knew that the person in his arms would not wake up for a while, he slowed down his steps so as not to make him uncomfortable.
He slowly walked to the end of the darkness, stretched out his hand and gestured for a while, and a hole was cut in the void. The dazzling light outside the mouth instantly illuminated the darkness and dispelled the fear in people's hearts. The man in black shook his head and smiled bitterly, he knew that no matter how bright the sun was, it could not wash away the languishing and dirty in this darkness.
With some tears in his eyes, he jumped out with Jun Qingran in his arms, and stretched out his hand to forcibly stitch the enchantment together, as if this was the only way to completely bury the filth.
……
Sweat soaked Jun Qing's dyed clothes, and she had been in a coma for three days and three nights. She had a long, terrible dream, in which she kept babbling, and in which she was extremely unstable. She suddenly felt someone gently pat her on the back, and she opened her eyes suddenly, her fawn-like eyes filled with water, especially clear in the sunlight. She looked at the woman beside her at a loss, her eyes full of confusion.
"Childe, are you awake...... That's great! The woman beside her whispered to her, her eyes full of joy.
Jun Qingran was slightly stunned, she struggled to get up, but the wound was involved at a glance, and she couldn't help grinning in pain.
The woman said nervously: "Childe, don't move, you are injured, and this will involve the wound." ”
Jun Qingran looked at his body wrapped in gauze, and the previous memories came to mind. Her face was full of confusion, and then she asked, "Are you ......?" Where is this? How did I get here? ”
The woman pretended to be angry and frowned slightly: "It's only been a few days since I saw him, and the son forgot about them?" ”
