"Dude, I thought you hackers were all like what they did on TV, and you wrote programs all at once." Qian Hao looked playful, and all the troublesome phone calls were intercepted, and the entire criminal police brigade breathed a sigh of relief.

"How can it be so simple?" As Qian Hao said, Xiao Ning didn't write the code in an instant at all, but opened the network disk, downloaded the interceptor he had written before, rolled his eyes, Xiao Ning frowned and retorted softly, "Also, I'm not a hacker, that's a crime." ”

"Don't worry, I won't catch you." Familiarly grabbed Xiao Ning's shoulder, and the ambiguous smile on Qian Hao's face made people unhappy.

After Xiao Sun's suicide was confirmed last time, Qian Hao was completely impressed by Xiao Ning, he is not the kind of man with a small belly, he only admires excellent people, and has no resentment.

"Qian Hao, don't give me poverty, you kid, it's time to go to the police." After taking a breath, Zhou Qing didn't dare to delay for a moment, ripped off the coat on the back of the chair, put it on, and said in a deep voice, "Xiao Zheng, inform Zhang Yu that before we come back, let him be sure to complete the examination of the corpse." ”

After taking a few steps forward, Zhou Qing seemed to remember something, and a look of sadness flashed on his face, "Sunset, don't go with me this time, Xiao Ning, you come with us." ”

Got in the car and had a smooth journey.

The sky was gray and white, and there was no sun in sight, and it was impossible to distinguish the boundary between the clouds and the sky.

"Dude, I said you are here every day, and you don't go to work, what are you eating?" After getting along for a long time, Qian Hao's chatty attributes were gradually revealed, and even in the cramped carriage, he couldn't control his mouth.

"Heh," Zhou Qing's nose burst out, he sneered, and said tauntingly: "Don't worry about it, this kid can write a program casually, and the money he gets will be more than your monthly salary." ”

Gasping heavily, Qian Hao looked at Xiao Ning dumbfounded, and sighed repeatedly.

"Captain Zhou is too prestigious, the work of a programmer is not easier than yours."

Neither humble nor arrogant, looking at the pale face in the back seat, Zhou Qing became more and more jealous, hoping that this kid could stand on their side forever, he could only pray silently in his heart.

The bitter wind swept across the sea, like a piercing blade blowing on people's faces, and the dreary sky merged with the horizon. Standing on the rooftop, Zhou Qing overlooked the sea not far away, the blue sea that used to attract countless tourists to flock to is now yellow-green, the waves are turbulent, and there is a salty smell from the nose.

Squinting his eyes slightly, Zhou Qing's expression was straight, and he glanced around, the rooftop here is directly above the Maritime Museum, and when he looks down from this angle, he can just get a glimpse of the entire October Festival.

The coastal city is always filled with damp breath all year round, different from the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River and Suyue Louxie, the sea breeze in the north does not understand the customs at all, it is also humid, but it is wrapped in the meaning of killing.

It will rain again in a while, and Zhou Qing walked briskly through every corner of the rooftop, unwilling to let go of the slightest clue.

Xiao Li and the others were not idle, with the help of Qian Hao, they used tools and chemical reagents to do more detailed measurements and forensics, and the entire rooftop was quiet and busy, and everyone was doing their own work, except for one person - Xiao Ning.

Zhou Qing should have been so busy that he forgot to arrange a job for him, or he didn't think about what he would do from the beginning, the autumn wind unscrupulously ruffled Xiao Ning's forehead, and he walked to the edge of the rooftop with an expressionless face.

Above the ornamental giant octopus, a solid, rough nylon rope rested on the ground, and Xiao Ning looked down, this is where he saw the body last night.

It's -

The pupils contracted suddenly, Xiao Ning's heartstrings tightened, and his breathing became rapid.

The broken pieces of paint were scattered aside, if others saw it, it was only caused by the perennial wind and rain, but Xiao Ning knew that this was what he did in his dream last night.

At that time, he was startled by the corpse, and in a panic, he hurriedly got up and rubbed off the paint on the purple octopus.

But how did all this paint end up here? Could it be that what he saw was not a dream, but a reality that did happen?

With a buzzing of his head, his whole body trembled uncontrollably, it was noon at this moment, but Xiao Ning vaguely felt that he was in a dark fog, the screams of the dead in his ears and the piercing laughter of the murderer suddenly sounded, and the blurred picture of flesh and blood lingered in front of him.

"Hey!"

A hand suddenly fell on his shoulder, Xiao Ning's heart beat wildly, and he hurriedly turned his head in a daze, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down.

"Dude, what are you stunned about?" It's Qian Hao again, he frowned, and his face complained in capital letters, "If you don't work, please let me go, I still have to collect evidence." ”

"Ahh Yes... Good. Turning away in a trance, the rooftop in the depths of his memory resurfaced in front of him, the terrifying man wearing a mask, a nightmare that Xiao Ning couldn't escape all these years.

"What's the situation?" Carefully collecting the lacquer pieces into a transparent sealed bag, Qian Haozhang was puzzled, looking at Xiao Ning's back and muttering blankly.

Once all the evidence has been collected, the next step is the interrogation phase.

"Chairman Zhang, please close the entire venue as soon as possible, and the monitoring, relevant staff list records, etc., need to be transferred to us as soon as possible."

On the top floor of the hotel, about 500 meters away from the museum, a man in his forties and fifties sat opposite Zhou Qing.

Dressed in a suit and leather shoes, with meticulously combed hair, the man has a deep silhouette, and his eyebrows and eyes are kind, although he has a little wrinkles now, it is conceivable that he must have been very handsome back then.

According to the investigation report, he has brought a lot of benefits to Changnan City over the years, and has been commended by all walks of life for many times in the name of national entrepreneurs.

"I'm sorry, but the October Festival has to continue for the time being." Speaking gently, Zhang Qiushan's face did not change, but his tone did not allow Zhou Qing to refuse, "First, we have invested a lot of manpower and material resources in the early stage, and we have not recovered the cost yet, and second, we have also signed an agreement with the local government, and as of early November, the October Festival will be carried out normally." ”

This old fox, Zhou Qing took a deep breath angrily, his brows furrowed involuntarily, and he couldn't refute it.

"It's all dead, and you still want to keep it going? Will there still be tourists? There was no way to persuade him, so Zhou Qing asked in turn.

"Yes, there will be." The corners of the old fox-like Zhang Qiushan's mouth hooked up a playful smile, picked up the phone on the table and whispered to the secretary-

"Let him in."
