Eight. There is nowhere to find the iron shoes

-Two days after the first ghost hit-

[Ask the world, whether this mountain is the highest ~ or, there is another high place higher than the sky~]

Old-fashioned TV sets play with age-sensitive music.

The curtains swayed in the wind, and it was obviously morning, but the detective agency was as lazy as an afternoon in the sun.

Lu Li sat in the boss's chair behind the desk and closed his eyes for a nap.

Shen Qian slumped in the sofa diagonally opposite, his posture like a famous painting.

Derogatory terms.

After solving the pen fairy last night, the two bought a supper and came back, and after eating, they slept in their respective positions at this time.

A night is not a good dream, it has nothing to do with sleeping position, and Lu Li can fall asleep in a cold chair when he was assisting the police station in handling the case. But as soon as I fell asleep, there was a poor female ghost kneeling in front of me and sobbing in a low voice, and I felt pity for her.

I don't know if it's because I think about it day and night, or if the pen fairy didn't get it...... I didn't send it to the underworld, and I didn't dare to find it along the network cable, I only dared to be disgusted in my dreams.

"Hate~~~" Suddenly, Shen Qian's legs kicked and wailed. "I didn't ask a few more words when I saw the legendary pen fairy, I hate it so much~~~"

No one paid any attention to him.

Shen Qian maintained a paralyzed posture, stared at the ceiling and asked, "Boss, can you tell me how you used your wonderful brain to come up with the idea of using a gun to solve a ghost?" ”

After more than ten seconds, Lu Li, who closed his eyes and took a nap, said, "The first ghost I saw was almost strangled to death, so I think physical means may be useful for ghosts." ”

"What if the gun doesn't work against the pen fairy?"

This question is difficult to answer, but Lu Li doesn't want to say: "Then let her kill me, and then kill her when I become a ghost." ”

Shen Qian was in awe, raised his arm and hugged his fist in the air: "It is worthy of being the boss, people don't talk much." ”

Nearly three years of getting along day and night made Shen Qian very clear that the boss would really do this.

The topic ended for the time being, and the atmosphere fell silent again.

After a while, the faint chatter of an old man came from downstairs down the open window.

After listening for a while, Shen Qian thought of something: "Do you have a clue next?" It seems that you have to solve two more ghosts before you can become a civil servant in the underworld. ”

"Try your luck on the street at night."

Although he can be called a trainee civil servant, Lu Li at this moment doesn't even have a pair of eyes that can see ghosts. In other words, Lu Li, like everyone else, can't see ghosts, or only those ghosts that want to be seen by humans.

"Your tone is like that of an unemployed person who wants to wander the streets." Shen Qian let out a villain-like teasing smile, not hiding the malice in his words at all.

Lu Li opened his eyes and looked at the sofa where Shen Qian was: "Ghosts become after people die." ”

"Huh?" Shen Qian raised his head and looked at Lu Li.

"Do you think you'll become a ghost when you die?"

Shen Qian sat up in shock, and hurriedly waved his hand and shouted: "Don't, it's not fun to kill me, turn me into a ghost, and then kill my ghost or something!" ”

Ignoring Shen Qian, who was playing, Lu Li closed his eyes again, thinking about where to go to hit the ghost.

Summon the pen fairy again?

Although it has always been a little bad for the pen fairy, if there is no other way, it can only catch the pen fairy wool.

I don't think the ghost cha book will give him an achievement of "pen fairy must die".

Probably.

Shen Qian, who was left out in the cold, leaned back again and picked up his mobile phone by himself. Swipe the screen once in a while. Time passed in this movement and stillness, until at a certain moment, the silence was broken by the ringing of the mobile phone.

Shen Qian, who was sitting on the sofa holding his mobile phone, squinted his eyes: "Your phone." ”

There was no need for him to remind him, Lu Li had already connected the phone and put it to his ear.

The first sentence entered his ears, and Lu Li's indifferent black eyes suddenly shrank into pins.

There were dozens of seconds of silence, only a faint voice on the other side of the phone, until Lu Li nodded: "Well, I'll go over now." ”

Waiting for Lu Li to hang up the phone, Shen Qianba, who had been curious for a long time, asked, "Who is it?" ”

"I'll go out for a while, and you keep talking about weirdness." Lu Li put on a windbreaker, and after giving a word, he pushed the door and left.

Boom.

The iron door closed, and Shen Qian looked at the closed door and blinked dryly.

……

Guluo Street

pedestrian street

"You don't have to come here." The middle-aged man in uniform smiled bitterly at the visitor.

"After five years of waiting, I finally have to come and see new news." Lu Li, who was in a black coat, replied.

"What did you find?"

Hearing the police officer, he sighed: "All the clues have been told to you in the mobile phone, your girlfriend's mobile phone was turned on for a few minutes, but unfortunately because it was in the middle of the night, and the time was too short, we only locked the range to this vicinity." After we checked and visited, there was no monitoring and the store said that we found something abnormal. ”

"That's where she disappeared." Lu Li looked at the pedestrian street where people came and went.

Officer Wen fell silent. Lu Li usually helps the police station to provide clues, and he is also half of their colleague and friend.

He wanted to raise his hand and pat Lu Li's shoulder to comfort him, but after discovering the fact that his height was not enough, he patted his elbow instead: "Don't worry, our police will definitely give you and the victim's family an explanation." ”

"Then please." Lu Li nodded.

Officer Wen also understood Lu Li's character, and left without saying anything, he still had things to deal with, leaving Lu Li to look at the gurgling river under the river next to Gulou Street.

No trace of any living person has been found?

Lu Li retracted his gaze, turned around and leaned against the guardrail, looking at the noisy and noisy Guluo Street with pedestrians, thoughtfully.

What about the dead?

……

It was late at night.

During the day, Guluo Street is bustling with activity, and at night it is the opposite.

There is not a single pedestrian to be seen on the long empty street, and the shops on the ground floor close early, and the windows are shadowed.

In the silence, there is only the occasional sound of garbage sliding in the wind and the quiet sound of water under the river.

0:00

A new day has arrived.

A dark cloud lifted, and the cold silver-white moonlight poured down, draping a figure on the riverside bench.

Lu Li, who had been waiting for a long time, turned on his mobile phone and glanced at the time, got up and left the bench.

Silver Moon hurriedly showed her face, and was re-obscured by the dark clouds. The sparkling water in the river disappeared, and in a hurried glance, I saw a silhouette standing on the side of the river.

It wasn't like a garbage heap or other piles of debris, it was more like a ...... Alone.

It's that easy?

Everything came so fast that Lu Li was slightly stunned.

Coming back to his senses, Lu Li climbed over the guardrail, slid sideways down the river, and approached the silhouette silently in the darkness.

Approaching six or seven meters away, the dark clouds suddenly dispersed, and the river channel shone with water, and it was possible to see again.

Lu Li suddenly stopped moving.

At some point, the figure turned, its wet hair covering half of its face, and one of its exposed eyes stared coldly at Lu Li.

The icy water ran down its soaked clothes.

"It's been a long time since I've seen a living person......"

The water ghost spoke in a grim tone, tilting its head to one side.

"Anyone who has seen me is going toβ€”"

Click-

The pistol was loaded, and Lu Li suddenly raised his arm and aimed at the center of the water ghost's eyebrows.

"β€”β€”auspicious, auspicious, happy to go down......"

The water ghost raised his hands in the air.
