Chapter 66: The Mist
Probably listening to Chen Xueru talk about those weird and terrifying stories in the fog capital again, Guan Shan woke her up. In Chen Xueru's subconscious, it seems that there is only one place left in the fog capital. All her thoughts and memories are there, and the specific reason is unknown.
Luo Chuan was already restless in the process of waiting for Guan Shan, and his heart was anxious. Coincidentally, the second captain was still in his office to hand over a case, and the second captain's nagging made Luo Chuan even more upset. He didn't have the leisure to fight the case with the second captain, he just wanted to really finish the case in front of him step by step. So at this moment, he simply pushed the file on the table and let the second captain play freely.
finally waited for Guan Shan to come back, Luo Chuan didn't care that the second captain was still looking at the case file in the office, and stepped forward to grab Guan Shan and asked anxiously: "How is it, how is it, did she say anything?" ”
Guan Shan hesitated for a moment, and replied with some embarrassment: "She said that there is a legend that on the fifteenth day of every month, when the moonlight is at its peak, there will be hungry ghosts coming out to eat people. ”
Luo Chuan was stunned when he heard this, and his first reaction was to wonder if Guan Shan was joking with him. But he also understood that Guan Shan would not joke at this time.
Before Luo Chuan came back to his senses, the second captain suddenly laughed and said, "I said Professor Guan!" You're a professor of psychiatry! Are the prisoners you talked to all of them cultivators? Also fifteen a month? Moonshine Dasheng? Hahahaha... Are you sure she's talking about hungry ghosts and not werewolves? How do I sound so much like a werewolf story! The Legend of the Hungry Ghost... Haha clams! I think it's a legend of the night! (Tales of the Night: A Movie About Werewolves)
Luo Chuan turned his head angrily, looked at the second captain's appearance of being about to laugh, and asked puzzledly, "Why are you still here?" ”
The second captain forced a smile and said, "I've been here all along!" Luo Chuan, I thought you were thinking about Professor Guan just now, but now looking at the situation, you are waiting for the story of the werewolf! It's naughty. After saying that, the second captain laughed again.
Luo Chuan couldn't bear to exhale, walked to the second captain, dragged him up, and then picked up the large stack of cases on the table, threw them all into the arms of the second captain, and said coldly: "It's all up to you, which one can be broken, don't let me see you recently." ”
The second captain originally wanted to be angry with Luo Chuan, but when he saw the large number of cases in his arms, he immediately left with a smile. In the eyes of the second captain, what he has in his arms is not just a file, but an opportunity for him to show his skills again and again.
After the second captain left, Luo Chuan felt that the world was clean. He pulled Guan Shan to sit down, and then listened to Guan Shan tell the story of the "foggy hungry ghost" in detail.
Although this conversation between Guan Shan and Chen Xueru sounded very strange and definitely not real, Luo Chuan said very seriously: "This ghost story is definitely not made up by her, I think there must be such a place." And the person we're going to track down is likely to be in that place. ”
"Then have you heard of the place of the fog?" Guan Shan asked.
Luo Chuan shook his head: "No." However, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, many places have changed their names. Even in some remote places, most of them have predecessors. It's like today, although there is no place name Chang'an, but the place is always there. What if, the fog capital that Chen Xueru said was originally called the fog capital and later changed its name? I called and asked Ke Yi, that weird man knew the most about this kind of strange place. ”
"Okay." Guan Shan also felt that Ke Yi, a person who traveled around the world, might have heard of the place of the fog capital.
It's just that as soon as Luo Chuan connected the phone, Ke Yi's impatient voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I said Luo Chuan, can you stop calling me all the time to urge me? I've already helped you find that person on the ancestral grave, what else do you want? Now I can only wait for him to do something more before I can investigate. But don't worry, I've asked my friends to pay close attention to this person, and I have arranged for two girls to pretend to have psychological problems, and go to his psychological clinic to chat and see a doctor if they have nothing to do. Enough interesting, right? I'll tell you, it's good that I didn't ask you for compensation. The girls who have been there have basically taken a fancy to him, and they can't pull it back. ”
Seeing that Ke Yi's complaints were endless, he didn't give Luo Chuan a chance to speak at all. Luo Chuan had no choice but to interrupt him lightly and said, "I didn't call for Song Mingze's business. ”
"And why? Who are you eyeing again? "Ke Yi doesn't have a good attitude.
Luo Chuan didn't mind, and asked directly, "Have you heard of the place of the fog capital?" ”
Ke Yi seemed to be stunned, and pondered for two seconds before asking, "Why did you mention this ghost place?" ”
When Luo Chuan heard this, he immediately became excited: "Do you know where this place is?" Tell me! I have important things to do and have to go there. ”
"Go there? It's a dead city long ago. Don't look at the name sounds quite bluffing, the fog capital, in fact, was a small town one hundred and fifty years ago. The Republic of China seemed to be quite prosperous at that time, the town was built by the mountains, surrounded by green mountains, because of the special geographical topography, the clouds and mist here could not be dispersed, so the perennial clouds and mist were the same, and the fairyland. It was first called Wudu, and later it was called Matsuru. But it doesn't matter what it's called now, it's a wasteland anyway. ”
"Didn't you say that surrounded by mountains, it's like a fairyland?" Luo Chuan really didn't know that there was such a place.
Ke Yi smiled sarcastically: "Luo Chuan, are your brains foggy?" I'm talking about a hundred and fifty years ago! I told you just now, because that place is built on a mountain, surrounded by green hills, and the town is surrounded by the lowest place in the middle, so the clouds and mist cannot be dispersed, and it is covered by clouds and mountains all year round. Later, when I started to do industry, who knows which one of the unintentional people built large factories there, and they were built one after another. Waste water and exhaust gas can't be discharged, just like the original clouds can't disperse is a truth. The sky was full of dust and charcoal, and over time, dozens of people there died of cancer every year. There were no more people living in that place, and in the past few years, it has slowly moved clean and become ruins. ”
"This is really a good place...... Luo Chuan thought, a place like this, in the short term, corruption will not get involved, developers will not patronize, and people will not be able to go there at the cost of their lives. Wouldn't that place be a great place for demons to hide?
But Ke Yi didn't understand what Luo Chuan meant, and asked in surprise: "What did you say?" You're sick! Is that a good place? The poor mountains and bad rivers are inconvenient, and if you go to the poor water, you will bring back a body of cancer cells, Luo Chuan, are you not serious? ”
Luo Chuan replied flatly: "He's not afraid, I'm afraid of anything." "Thinking of those murderers, the ogre might all be hiding in that hiding paradise, Luo Chuan didn't care about anything.
"Okay, okay, you're heroic, selfless, and fearless. But Luo Chuan, let's talk about it, if you still plan to use our friendship to let me help you in the future, you have to promise me that it doesn't matter if you look for death, don't take Ke Xue with you. Ke Yi, a cold-faced and hot-hearted weirdo, still cares about his younger brother in the end.
Luo Chuan smiled and said, "If you really have this heart, it is better to express it to him in person." Hurry up and send me the approximate location, and I'll leave in the next two days. ”
After hanging up the phone, Luo Chuan and Guan Shan studied the matter of leaving the next day. Because the fog is really not close to them, they have to plan in advance.
Originally, Luo Chuan was still a little worried about Guan Shan, and he didn't want him to go to the kind of place where Ke Yi said that the mountains and rivers were poor. But Guan Shan said irrefutably that with him as a doctor, he could ensure that the two of them would not bring back any cancer cells. Those pollution have caused harm to the human body for many years, and they will not have a problem if they take precautions. Moreover, it is impossible for Guan Shan to let Luo Chuan go by himself.
Everything was ready, just waiting for the next day to leave, but Luo Chuan received bad news that shocked him at this time.
Chen Xueru is dead.
She died in her own cell.
Luo Chuan couldn't come back to his senses after hearing the news for a long time, and Guan Shan saw that the situation was not right, so he asked him what happened. But Luo Chuan didn't speak, and rushed out of the office with an angry face, and went straight to the director's office.
Guan Shan hurriedly chased him out and persuaded Luo Chuan to calm down, Luo Chuan agreed, but when he pushed open the door of the director's office, he still yelled: "Boss! Chen Xueru's death, you have to give me an explanation! How could she have died inexplicably like this! Who the hell did she meet! ”
When Luo Chuan yelled and walked closer, he saw a person sitting in front of Director Yang's desk, a person he really didn't want to see! This person is Song Mingze!
Director Yang was yelled at by Luo Chuan very facelessly, so he lowered his face and said angrily: "You really can't even knock on the door now, right?" Run me yelling, the police force can't recruit you?! ”
Luo Chuan didn't even look at Director Yang, he just looked at Song Mingze with an incredulous expression and asked, "Did you see Chen Xueru?" If you don't see her, how can she die! Say, what did you do to get her to listen to your suicide? Or did you just kill her in some way?! Luo Chuan was emotional, because Chen Xueru was the only one who knew both Bai Feng and the Moonlight Killer. Even if she chooses not to speak, as long as she is alive, there is still hope. To put it bluntly, she is the only clue to Luo Chuan's case. Now that she is so inexplicably dead under the condition of "strict isolation and guard", it is inevitable that Luo Chuan will be so excited.
Song Mingze still had that light and breezy appearance, he smiled faintly like that, and after listening to Luo Chuan yelling at him, he smiled and said with a gentle smile: "Team Luo's misunderstanding of me is really deep......"
This tone, this expression, and this smile really made Luo Chuan angry, and just as he wanted to continue his attack, Director Yang slapped the table and said angrily: "Luo Chuan! I talk to you, you can't hear me, do you? Dr. Song was approved by me to let him go to see Chen Xueru, just after Guanshan. If it's a problem with the people, they all have a problem! ”
Luo Chuan looked at Director Yang in disbelief and asked, "What kind of drug did you have been poured by him?" Can he be the same as Guan Shan? Besides, didn't you say that no one was allowed to see you? Why let him meet such an important person! ”
Director Yang slapped the table and was about to get angry, but Song Mingze stood up, smiled and comforted Director Yang and said, "Don't be angry, Team Luo, he also cares about the case." You sit down first, let me talk to Team Luo in person, so as to resolve the misunderstanding between us. ”
Looking at Song Mingze's polite appearance, Director Yang was still angry. He sat down angrily, snorted coldly, and stopped looking at Luo Chuan.
Song Mingze continued to look at Luo Chuan with a smile like a warm spring breeze and said, "I am indeed different from Professor Guan, after all, I don't have a friendship between you. But Professor Kwan and I both met with her, and that's a fact. Team Luo, you can't be so eccentric, it's my responsibility to insist on one bite. I met her because I had been a psychiatrist for ogre criminals a year earlier, so I knew a little bit about the characteristics of this crime. ”
"You admit it?" Luo Chuan was a little surprised, he didn't expect Song Mingze to be so easy to support.
Song Mingze smiled indifferently at all: "I am his psychiatrist, neither an accomplice nor a colleague, my records are in the police file, why can't I admit it?" ”
"You ......"
"Of course, it was my remiss not to heal him and let him hurt so many people. But for mental illness, even Professor Guan Shanguan, he can't be completely sure that the patient can be cured, right? Professor Kwan, what do you say? Song Mingze looked at Guan Shan with a smile.
Guan Shan replied frankly: "Yes, no." ”
Song Mingze nodded with satisfaction and said, "Look, this is it." Everything I do is above board, worthy of the trust of the police, and can withstand your investigation. I do regret Chen Xueru's death......"
Song Mingze was about to continue, but Luo Chuan interrupted him loudly and said, "Shut up, I want an autopsy!" Director Yang, please also join us, let's confirm it in the forensic office! Look at what this Song Mingze has done! The only witness I can have is dead. ”
