Jet-black.

It was pitch black.

The heavy black cloth blocked every window, and the walls, floor tiles, and ceilings were all a palpitating deep black, and without the voice-activated lights in the hallway, Zhang Guo might have mistakenly thought that he had suddenly gone blind when he opened the door.

Through the light shining into the room from outside the door, Zhang Kuang vaguely saw a figure sitting in the living room, the same dark shadow did not move at all, almost integrated with the environment, strange and inexplicable.

Zhang Guo coughed lightly twice, and was hesitating whether he should turn on the flashlight function of the mobile phone, when he heard a crisp click, and a snow-white beam of light fell from the ceiling, just enveloping the figure sitting on the high-backed chair, just like the stage lamp reflecting the protagonist at the opening of the play.

Zhang Guo squinted his eyes and saw the figure sitting not far in front of him.

Black suit, black shirt, black tie, black trousers, black stockings, black leather shoes, black gloves, black cane and black mask, plus black hair with distinct colors like graphite, no other colors can be seen on the whole body.

Black and light blend perfectly and present in front of Zhang Kuang's eyes.

"Hello, Zhang Guo."

He said hello as normal, but the voice came from all directions at the same time.

Zhang Kuang was not frightened by this trick of pretending to be a ghost, he guessed that this might be the effect of stereo surround sound, or it could be the effect of other props, and the horror trick variety shows of the Little Wa Kingdom and the American Federation had already played these tricks out of the flowers.

"Hello." Zhang Guan was calm, or rather, trying to pretend to be calm, "What do you call it?" ”

"You can call me 'Mr. Black.'"

"Mr. Black? The surname black is not common. Zhang Kuang distracted the other party by talking as he reached into his trouser pocket and prepared to open the voice memo recording.

"Codename only." Mr. Hei waved his hand slightly and said softly, "In order to ensure the quality of our conversation, please do not turn on the recording." ”

Now that it was discovered, there was no point in arguing, Zhang Guo took out his mobile phone very shamefully, pointed the screen at Mr. Hei, and then pressed and held the power button to turn it off.

"Thank you for your cooperation." Mr. Black bowed his head in thanks, polite and elegant.

"You were the person who spoke to me just now?" Zhang Guan couldn't stand this weird atmosphere, so he simply went straight to the point, "You asked me to go upstairs to see the answer, where is the answer?" ”

"The answer is right in front of you." Mr. Black raised his index finger and poked it in his chest, "I am Black Light." ”

"Oh?" Zhang Guo was skeptical, and then asked, "I'm curious, why can you predict those upcoming criminal cases and accidents?" It's incredible to see your actions from the perspective of a criminal investigator. Even if you have an intelligence network that spreads all over every corner of Yinjiang, it is impossible to do everything you have done before. ”

"Technology developed to the extreme, no different from magic." Mr. Hei seemed to be laughing, and the laughter hidden in the words revealed smugness, which was the kind of reserved and restrained pride, "I recommend you an American drama, "Suspect Tracking", you may gain something after watching it, as for your question just now, I'm sorry I can't answer you." ”

"Then you said I should go upstairs to find the answer?" Zhang Guo subconsciously clenched his fists, "I'm not threatening you, but I want to say that you were right just now, if you want me to give up looking for the answer, the only way is for me to find the answer first." ”

"That's what I said, so I have the word 'first' in my original words, it's not a grammatical error, but I'm going to give you another answer." Mr. Black stood up and handed out a small black gift box.

Zhang Guo stared at him for three seconds before reaching out to take the gift box, opening it and seeing that there was a ring inside. Zhang Kuang picked up the ring and looked at it in front of him for a while, and muttered, "This is ...... Maxwell's equations? Black? ”

"Your science knowledge is beyond my expectations." Mr. Hei's compliment is tactful, but it is also very useful.

Zhang Guo nodded: "If you want to be a qualified detective, the most important thing is to capture details and expand your knowledge. ”

"So I want to offer you a new job." Mr. Hei is on a cane, not like he is deliberately pretentious and imitating the old Western aristocracy, but like he has inconvenient legs and feet.

"What?" Zhang asked subconsciously.

"Join us and be a light that walks in the darkness and dispels it." Mr. Hei's tone is very natural, and this naturalness makes people selectively ignore the middle and second attributes of the slogan.

"You have aspired to be a detective since you were a child, but the reality does not allow you to realize your dreams, even if you stay in the criminal police team, you can only obey the arrangements of your superiors, you can't investigate the cases that your superiors don't let you investigate, and you can't arrest people who your superiors don't let you arrest, for others it is a glorious profession to protect people's safety, but for you, it's just a job with investigating and solving cases as the main work content."

Mr. Hei hit the nail on the head to point out the real reason for Zhang Guo's resignation, and then made a summary: "In the final analysis, the criminal police are not detectives, you want to be a famous detective, not a criminal police officer who sometimes has to investigate any case, and sometimes can't investigate any case, right?" ”

Zhang Guo's breathing was suddenly short, even if he was holding an engagement ring in his hand, he couldn't make him so excited.

After calming his heartbeat and adjusting his breathing rate, Zhang Guan nodded and admitted: "That's right, so I took off my police uniform." ”

"Insolence is just your disguise, if you are really perverse, you will not leave connections in the Yinjiang public security system, but if you don't pretend to be arrogant, the superior leaders will not be so easy to let a criminal investigation elite leave, they will do work for you, and they will also do work for your parents......" Mr. Hei paused for a moment and spread his hands, "Look, I know you very well, so if I tell you that you are very suitable for this job, then you should believe me." ”

Zhang Guo acquiesced in Mr. Hei's analysis, and when the words fell, he couldn't wait to ask, "You haven't told me yet, what kind of job are you going to give me?" ”

"I can't tell you the source of the information of the black light, but I can tell you that the black light can only receive some key information, and its role is limited, and many times we need a person with professional ability to peel back the cocoon from those key information and find out the truth behind it. You may not be famous, but I can guarantee that you will reap a higher quality of life and the quality of your cases, and if you have the opportunity in the future, you will be able to step into the front of the stage and become a world-famous detective. ”

Mr. Hei glanced at Zhang Jing's hand, and after finding that he had grasped the ring tightly, he took off his mask and smiled: "I wanted to give you three days to think about it, but now it seems that it is not necessary." ”

Zhang Guo took a deep breath and nodded heavily.

On the edge of the roof on the 22nd floor, Fang Ziyu, who was sitting under the pavilion, twisted a sunspot and landed in the center of the chessboard.
