"This case can't be closed."

He sighed: "I will inform the comrades involved in the case last time to be on standby at any time, you and Gu Man should go back and rest first." ”

After speaking, he asked Gu Man again if he wanted to go to the hospital for a check-up, Gu Man shook his head and said that it was fine, just a slight bruise.

"Okay, Xiao Zhang, you send Gu Man back, and come here tomorrow morning to report."

It can be seen that Lao Ding is very worried, this case should not belong to us, but after Qin Pei took over, they did not share information in time, which caused them to be very tired, and our side was also very tired.

"Let's go, I'll take you home."

During this time, I was almost her personal driver, and I drove the car that was assigned to her in the bureau, and she sat in the back seat like an ancestor.

On the way, she suddenly asked me, when did Lao Ding start arranging for people to follow her?

I was stunned for a moment, and then I reacted, the two comrades appeared very 'timely' tonight, and with Gu Man's logical ability, I would definitely be able to guess that it was arranged by Lao Ding.

But this is also the result of my discussion with Lao Ding, so I took the responsibility on myself, I said that I was worried that after the spirit flag was stolen, those behind the scenes would re-target her, so I discussed with Lao Ding, and found two experienced comrades to protect her secretly.

After listening to my explanation, she didn't reject it too much, but after a little silence, she asked me if she was too useless.

I should have comforted her, but when something like this happened tonight, she should have been cranky again.

But I don't know why, and I just say that it's useless for us to encounter this kind of thing.

She smiled wryly twice and did not speak again.

After that, I was very embarrassed all the way, and it wasn't until I got out of the car that I said goodnight.

I drove back to my rented house.

In Uptown, it's a bit far from work, but at least it's much closer than coming from Grandpa.

I don't have parents, and I don't even know how they died.

Anyway, since I was a child, my grandfather didn't give me an accurate answer, he always told me that I would understand when I grew up.

But I graduated and even joined the workforce, but I still didn't know anything.

What's even more ridiculous is that I learned their names and appearances through the public security population database.

Looking at their profiles, I can't recall a single memory of them, even if it's just a flashback.

All the time, I tried not to think about them, and tried to bury them in the deepest part of my memory, until Gu Man mentioned her father tonight, she didn't give up, so I can't either.

This is a small suite with 1 bedroom and 1 living room, the landlord is an old couple, and they bought this house to collect rent for the elderly.

When I moved in, my grandfather personally came to show me feng shui, and he said that the feng shui here is good, and my life will not clash here.

Perhaps because I was not accompanied by my parents since I was a child, I was more withdrawn by nature, and in addition to the bedroom where I slept, the living room in the small suite has been converted into an office area.

The difference is that I don't have any ornaments in this house, and my grandfather said that I don't need to worship anything, so on the wall of the living room and office area, only a huge feng shui compass is hung.

The texture is very simple, and it is also very delicate, and it has not been opened, but grandpa said that it is a good thing, and it is not a problem to turn evil into good fortune.

I cooked myself a bowl of noodles and went to the office to remove a stack of papers.

These are not dossiers, but information about totems and mystical techniques that I have gathered.

Some of them were told to me by my grandfather, and some of them were legends that I didn't even know where I heard them.

Tonight's encounter made me more and more frightened, after sending Gu Man home, I was already paralyzed on the main driver, so I quickly took a pill given to me by Wang Zhengqing, and then I arrived home safely.

But this is definitely not tired, Wang Zhengqing didn't tell me the real situation, and I should have worn the way of the melon skin hat, he is a monk, he knows a lot of secret techniques, and it is normal to know something I don't know.

But the crux of the matter is, what is the purpose of all this?

At the beginning, he kidnapped Gu Man and released her, but now he has stolen the spirit flag, and he wants to arrest Gu Man, and even the melon skin hat knows my grandfather, and there is no explanation for the strange things that happened.

I flipped through all the materials, the dementor incense, and even the altar about the Five Elements of Destiny, and put all the details together, pasted them on the whiteboard, and connected them one by one from the beginning of the case to the present.

In a short time, the whiteboard next to the desk was already plastered with all kinds of small cards.

Now the problem is that I have established a logical network on this whiteboard, but this network does not point to anyone, it is like a straight line, it has been extending backwards, whether it is me Gu Man, Lao Ding or the people involved in the case, or even Zhao Youfa and Qin Pei and Wang Zhengqing.

They are just a flash in the web of logic, and there is no evidence of who is the key link.

So I assumed that there was such a mastermind, and in the blank area of the whiteboard, I drew a circle with a big question mark on it.

The problem is again, one behind the scenes may not be able to support this logical network.

So far, there have been five or six people behind this like this, and this is only what we have mastered, so what about what we have not mastered?

Take tonight as an example, they obviously have a certain strategy, such as the melon skin hat is responsible for luring me away, and the other one is responsible for kidnapping Gu Man.

Thinking of this, I suddenly had a cleverness.

Why would they do it?

There are many ways to kidnap Gu Man, just like last time, why should they show up when neither Gu Man nor I found out about it.

Provocation? Or is it a showmanship?

I don't know, but it's a direction, which means that tonight in the ghost market, in addition to the two black-robed people who have been spotted by us, there are more remnants, and these two are only responsible for attracting our attention.

If that's the case, then we're afraid we've fallen for the trick of diverting the tiger from the mountain tonight.

I hurriedly called Lao Ding and asked him to urge the comrades in charge of monitoring to carefully screen them.

Lao Ding listened to my conjecture and felt that it was very possible, so he personally went to the traffic department to check the monitoring, but it was too late, it took a long time to screen the nearby monitoring network, he asked me to go to sleep first, what is there to say in the bureau tomorrow.

But when something like this happened, how could I sleep, and when I lay in bed, my mind was full of clips of tonight's fight with the melon skin hat.

He said a lot of strange things, including saying my grandfather's name, and that broken finger.

But isn't my grandfather just a fortune teller and feng shui gentleman? How can a man's finger be broken?

If it weren't too late, I would have wanted to call back and smell it.

When I woke up the next day, I felt like I didn't have any energy, and when I was washing, I looked in the mirror.

Black eye... Black...

I was stunned for a moment, and there was a faint black gas on my seal hall.

This...... No, I haven't had any calamities lately, and my life doesn't conflict with this case, and if there is, it's that I ran into something unclean last night when I was fighting Guppi Hat.

Thinking of this, I was full of strength again, and even almost fainted, I quickly took out the box given by Wang Zhengqing, took a pill and slowed down for a while to get better.

I couldn't think of it for a while, so I didn't think about it, washed my face with cold water, and leisurely made breakfast at home, set the plate, and made a glass of milk.

It's not that I don't know how to be in a hurry, but the black gas on the Yin Hall makes me have to be cautious.

After eating, I found the spirit lot, ready to divinate a hexagram for myself, the draw was made, but when the cup was thrown, I threw a laughing cup, and the laughing cup means that the sign is invalid and needs to be renewed.

But after seven or eight draws, when the cup was tossed at the end, it was all a laughing cup.

The so-called 'cup' is actually a wood product like cashew nuts, with a total of two pieces, each with one side flat and the other convex.

When divination needs to draw lots, after drawing lots, you need to throw a cup, throwing a cup is to throw these two 'cashew nuts' to the ground, when one side of the plane is facing up, one side of the convex side is facing up, it is the 'winning cup', representing the good meaning; when the two sides are convex face up, it is the 'stable cup' also called the 'yin cup', which represents the bad and bad meaning.

And if both sides are facing upwards, it is the 'yang' cup, which is what I call the laughing cup, in this case, you need to draw lots from a new cup to throw the cup, because the hexagram has become invalid, and there is no point in divining it again. I still refused to admit defeat and drew two more lots, but at the end of the toss, I still threw a laughing cup.

The hexagram fails again.

The same result more than ten times in a row inevitably upset me, and at the same time, it also corroborated the black qi on my seal hall.

I might have had a real problem.

It's not early, this hexagram is uncertain, it's a blessing or a curse, it's a disaster that can't be avoided, I don't think much about it when I think of this, and I hurriedly drove to pick up Gu Man to work.

On the way, Gu Man probably saw that I was preoccupied, so he didn't talk to me about the case, but only said that the begonia flowers in the south of the city were about to bloom, and asked me if I wanted to go to see it on the weekend.

I'm a big man to see what kind of flowers, I was driving at the time, I didn't realize that Gu Man was asking me out, so I said I'll talk about it when the case is over.

By the time I reacted to such a small episode, it was still a long time later.

When I arrived at the bureau, it was already more than 10 o'clock, and the forensic report had come out, and Lao Ding handed it to us with a solemn expression, saying that he was mentally prepared.

Gu Man looked at it first, and after only one glance, she hugged the trash can in the office and retched.

I couldn't help frowning, we had already come into contact with all kinds of corpses in the police academy, and even observed forensic autopsies in person, as for that? But when I picked up the test report and looked at it, I realized that I was wrong.

After eating a pretty hearty breakfast in the morning, I was trying to endure the feeling of my stomach churning.

The inspection report is full of pictures, the most intuitive of which is the first photo taken after the dissection.

All his organs, in the bloody flesh, were like rotten pieces of rotten wood.
