Chapter 10: Old Alley

"Third young master, the road is closed in front, and the car can only drive here." Cheng Gang parked the car on the side of the road.

Cheng Gang is considered the old man of the Lu family, and sending the old man's driver to Lu Jingsheng can show Lu Jingsheng's status in the Lu family.

Due to the continuous occurrence of accidents, the old alley was closed, and it was necessary to have a police pass to enter and exit.

"Thank you, Uncle Cheng, it's okay here." Lu Jingsheng opened the car door.

"I didn't expect there to be such a place next to the Star Stone Museum." Taking out the pass, Xu Xuyang walked into the old alley.

Decades ago, the spirit stone meteor shower fell all over the world, and there was also a piece that fell into Haicheng, and the meteorite weighing tens of millions of tons destroyed all the surrounding buildings like a 100-meter-high mountain.

But it also brings destruction, but also brings progress, people develop spirit stones to obtain spiritual energy, the small mountain of spirit stones in less than a year to completely collect, in order to commemorate, in the place where the meteorite landed to establish a museum, with the traces and legacy of the spirit stone left after the collection as exhibits.

As a result, the Xingshi Museum has become one of the most famous scenic spots in Haicheng, with millions of visitors every year, and most of the east of the museum is a high-tech business district.

But no one thought that walking two kilometers west of the Star Stone Museum would lead to the "slum" alley of Haicheng, which was long forgotten as an area that had been called the alley decades ago.

Most of the houses in the old alleys are old, like buildings from the last century, with cyan bricks and stones, and some of the houses are not painted, so that the bricks are exposed, and they look neat and rigorous, maybe at that time this house was special, but now the broken masonry and moss in the corners have long destroyed the beauty of the house.

The road is not smooth, and you can hear it rising and falling when you walk on the old stone slab, and you can see the underground river below through the gaps in the stone blocks, and the water pipes and cables buried under the stones on both sides are exposed due to the broken parts of the steps, and you can see obvious traces of repair.

"Ahh

Xu Xuyang stopped and glanced around the corner.

"Did you just hear anything?"

"Hear what? No, I don't. Lu Jingsheng shook his head, "Hurry up, we are going to the madman's house now, and there is still some distance away." ”

"Wait a minute." Xu Xuyang frowned, he seemed to hear the woman's scream just now, walked around the corner, and found that this was actually a dead end, the wall was full of garbage, and the corners were covered with unknown stains.

The smell was terrible, a mixture of sour and fishy smells, but here he also smelled the rancid stench from evil spirits mixed in with it.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, are you okay?"

There was a commotion outside, and Xu Xuyang came out to see Lu Jingsheng soaking wet, but he raised the tablet in his hand and let him escape, while the turban man standing opposite him kept apologizing to him with a bucket.

"Bah, is your water mopping water!" Lu Jingsheng spit out the sewage in his mouth, and got goosebumps when he looked at the T-shirt that turned from white to black.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, why don't you come in and change your clothes?" The turban man put down the bucket, took the rag from the front desk and was about to wipe it on Lu Jingsheng's face.

"Wait! Take me to the bathroom, I'll do it myself! Lu Jingsheng dodged the ragged rag and handed the tablet to Xu Xuyang.

The turban man pinched the rag and realized his mistake, and smiled embarrassedly at Lu Jingsheng, "I'm sorry, come with me." ”

The moment he approached the turban man and raised his head, Xu Xuyang raised his eyes.

"This man smells of evil spirits."

Looking up at the door number, the two moon bar, which was exactly where the second victim worked.

Walking into the bar, Lu Jingsheng went to the bathroom in the staff lounge to take a shower, the headscarf man went to prepare a change of clothes, Xu Xuyang casually found a place to sit down, it is now daytime There are no guests in the bar, and only the headscarf man cleans up depending on the situation.

With a narrow counter and T-shaped wine tables and round chairs, this is just an extremely ordinary small bar, but for some reason Xu Xuyang always feels very depressed here.

When the pupil is activated, he discovers that there is a faint layer of black fog in the bar, and the source of this black fog is behind the sound in the lower left of the stage.

"Hello, are you here to investigate?" As soon as Xu Xuyang wanted to get up, the turban man came to his back at some point, bypassed the round chair and put the wine glass in front of Xu Xuyang, and pointed to the pass that Xu Xuyang hung on his chest.

Xu Xuyang retracted his gaze and pushed the wine glass back, "Yes, the female employee of your bar had an accident, and the murderer has been found, but there are still doubts in the case, so I want to know more about the situation." ”

"So now send you two minors to investigate? Rest assured, it's just iced tea. The turban man said and put the wine glass in front of Xu Xuyang again, working in a bar, he can still judge a person's age from temperament.

"Alas, I know that I have told the police officer before, that woman came to work with us for two days, who knew that she would have an accident, and then a few days after the case was closed, you closed the old alley again, and the business could not be done, the boss has not come for half a month, and there are plans to transfer the store, I am just a rough person, I can only clean and carry wine bottles, where else do I have to find a job here? I'm sorry to mess your friend up, but when will you fix it! You ······"

The man in the turban slapped the table, and the more he talked, the more excited he became, but when he looked at the young man in front of him, he was deflated again, and he felt very powerless, as if it was useless to say anything.

"Then please tell you what you know again, and we'll deal with the problem here as soon as possible." Xu Xuyang didn't comfort him, just stared at his headscarf.

"What are you looking at my hijab for?" The turban man noticed Xu Xuyang's sight, and straightened the crooked turban, the pattern of the turban was mainly red, green and black, and a child sitting cross-legged was printed in the center.

"Your headscarf is so pretty." Fiddled with his glass and took a sip of iced tea.

The hijab man was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Xu Xuyang to suddenly praise his turban, "Hey, don't look at me like this, I still like children, but I'm almost forty years old and don't have a girlfriend yet." ”

On the other side, Lu Jingsheng took off his wet clothes, connected the water pipe to the faucet of the sink, and directly opened it and flushed it down from the beginning.

This bathroom is very small and has no unkempt head, so Lu Jingsheng can only clean it so simply.

He was a pampered young master, but he did such a sloppy bathing method very naturally, as if he had been bathing like this before.

He took the clothes that were placed at the door, put on his pants first, and when he was wearing the T-shirt, he smelled the familiar soap, pinched the fabric, and didn't know what he was thinking.

Go to the mirror and fix your hair.

"Is this rouge?" Lu Jingsheng picked up the red round box under the mirror and gently opened the lid, which was filled with pink powder.

Closing the lid back, turning the box upside down, tapping it with your knuckles, and the wooden block on the back pops open, revealing a tender flesh-colored liquid.

Dip it with your index finger, rub it on your hand, and put it in front of your nose to smell it, it's a primer of oil paint!

"Is he too?"

Lu Jingsheng put the red round box back in place and washed away the oil paint on his hand.

"Your eyes are so pretty-"

Lu Jingsheng stiffened for a moment, feeling a chill on his neck.

Raised his eyes to look in the mirror and continued to arrange his hair, and there was a purple-black figure reflected in the mirror, the size of a two-year-old child, its head buried in Lu Jingsheng's chest, holding his neck with both hands, and gently caressing.

"Will you give me your eyes?"

Lu Jingsheng looked at himself in the mirror, in the mirror his dark golden pupils reflected him and the evil spirit hugging his neck, the evil spirit also looked at him, his blood-red eyes were bent into crescents, and his lips were slightly open to reveal half-finger-long fangs.

Lu Jingsheng adjusted his expression, pretended not to see the evil ghost, touched his neck, the evil ghost let go of his hands, ran to the corner and looked at him quietly.

"That's all I know, if you ask me again, I can only make up stories." The headscarf man told Xu Xuyang again, who had told the police, and was a little impatient.

Xu Yi, that is, the headscarf man, he has worked in this bar for two or three years, and he is not familiar with the escort girl, and the accompanying wine is also superficial, and there is no other transaction, the last time he saw the deceased was when her ex-boyfriend carried her out of the bar at two o'clock in the morning, and he didn't care about it when he still had work at hand.

Up to that point, the deceased had been chatting and drinking with the guests, and had not done anything out of the ordinary.

The only strange thing is that the deceased was not drunk on the first day of work, but on the second day he only drank five bottles and collapsed, sleeping like a dead pig, no matter how she screamed, she couldn't wake up, and her ex-boyfriend only appeared after she fell, and Xu Yi had not seen her ex-boyfriend before this.

In the information given by Lu Jingsheng, the murderer said that he would take her out and then use the medicine.

"Did you hear anyone singing outside at that time?" Xu Xuyang continued to ask, although Xu Xuyang didn't think that the crazy man who sang the opera would be the maker of these cases, he was definitely the key person.

"Did you say that madman?" Xu Yi touched his turban, "He will come out to sing after twelve o'clock, but we have good sound insulation here, and besides, we still have music inside, so he can't hear what he sings." ”

"I'm done, let's go." Lu Jingsheng came out of the bathroom, "My second brother will come over in the afternoon, so you can't hang around." ”

His expression looked very natural, but Xu Xuyang, who was familiar with him, saw that his face was actually a little stiff, and he didn't have the usual small movements of laughing.

"Alright, let's go there first." Xu Xuyang followed Lu Jingsheng's words and said, "Thank you, we will unseal the old alley as soon as possible." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, that being said, I hope you'll be faster." Xu Yi waved his hand and looked at him leaving the two-month bar.

"His eyes must be delicious—"

Fist-sized wet footprints walked out of the bathroom and came to Xu Yi's feet.

"After eating him, you shouldn't be hungry so fast, hehehehe-"

Xu Yi didn't notice that the evil spirit crawled to his feet, and walked to the speaker in the lower left corner of the stage and bowed, "The mark has been made, I hope Xiaomen can have a full meal." ”
