A little girl wearing a sky blue tracksuit, white sneakers, and a pair of ponytails walked out of the small supermarket, about fifteen or sixteen years old, but a pair of dark eyes revealed a shrewd look far beyond her years, she first glanced at the two Dongfeng Warriors parked at the door, and then asked if we were police. .org

After answering in the affirmative, she counted our numbers again, and then instructed us to park the car in the open space in front of the house and take us in.

On this floor is a small supermarket, with an area of about sixty or seventy square meters, with four fluorescent lamps on the ceiling and shelves on all sides.

I took a few looks, and the store sold some very common things, tobacco and alcohol, oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, mineral water, instant noodles, etc., as well as some small goods such as toilet paper and needlework.

While registering us for accommodation, the little girl introduced herself: "I am Uncle Cai's niece, you can just call me Chunzi...... We don't usually have many people coming to this guest house, but don't worry, I have always cleaned the room, dried quilts or something - a small place, the conditions are limited, everyone is inclusive, but it is guaranteed to be a new clean quilt! Well, pay a deposit of 300 per person......"

I can't help but wonder, this little girl looks very cute except for a little freckles on her face, but the tone of her voice is really similar to that Cai Zhiheng, from this point of view, she must be an uncle and a niece.

I said, "Your deposit is quite high, and we haven't even seen the room, so we take the money?" ”

"There are three rooms in total, one for the two of you, there's nothing to pick, I'll give you the key later, and you can take a look at it." Also, I'm the only hotel in the town, so if I don't live there, I'll have to sleep in the car......" Haruko didn't even raise her head, and kept copying our ID information in a yellowed notebook.

I laughed dumbly and had to hand over 1,800 yuan.

"Thank you! 100 yuan a day, but two meals, very cost-effective! Haruko took the money and counted the money one by one, and when she smiled, her mouth turned up into a small crescent, revealing two white rabbit teeth.

After the registration, Haruko led us to the second floor, and there were indeed only three rooms on the second floor, and there were also three rooms on the third floor, but Haruko said that the third floor did not belong to the guest house, because one room was for Haruko herself, one was for her mother, and the last room was a storage room.

Haruko repeatedly warned us stinky men that we were not allowed to go up to the third floor if we had nothing to do.

If these words come from the mouth of a mature young woman, it is inevitable that there is a suspicion of flirting and seducing, as if it is specially pointed out that there are no three hundred taels of silver here, but from the mouth of a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, it does not seem frivolous and obscene, but there is a kind of innocence.

The room is not very good, the bed and furniture are very old, and there is a faint musty smell of wood, but the bedding on the bed is really clean, and the little girl is not fooling people at this point.

I just wanted to lie down in bed and rest, but I was a little tired, and I didn't sleep well in the car, so I fell asleep with my head covered.

When I woke up again, it was Haruko who knocked on the door and told us to go to lunch.

The so-called restaurant, right in the yard behind the supermarket on the first floor.

It turned out that the supermarket on the first floor was connected to the kitchen, and the kitchen was connected to the courtyard.

There are six dishes on the table of the Eight Immortals, all of which are home-cooked, but the aroma is so fragrant that people can't help but feel hungry and move their index fingers at the same time.

However, there was already a person sitting at the table.

When he saw us come in, the man stood up and met us.

"Hello, I'm He Jun from the Heishui Town Police Bureau, which one is Officer Chengcheng?"

It turned out that the person in front of us was the "Xiao He" said by Cai Zhiheng, but we didn't expect that it would be a policewoman.

He Jun is about 20 years old, at least 175 tall, wearing a police uniform, wearing an armed belt, meticulously standing in a upright posture, especially looking upright, she speaks very loudly, the words are round, a pretty face is tense, I don't know whether it is serious or nervous, between the eyebrows is heroic, and with the overall temperament, it is very heroic, not a man at all.

Cheng Cheng stepped forward and stretched out his hand first: "Hello, I'm Cheng Cheng." ”

He Jun shook hands with Cheng Chengyi very neatly: "Hello, Section Chief Cheng!" Director Cai has sent me to assist you in your investigation, and I will seriously cooperate with you to solve the case as soon as possible! ”

She has a good aura, but she still shows her immaturity when she speaks.

Cheng Cheng had no choice but to reply: "Okay! I believe that with the assistance of Officer Ho, we will solve the case as soon as possible...... So, do we eat first and then talk about work? ”

Haruko happened to come out of the kitchen with a big bowl of soup in both hands, and when she saw a group of us standing in the house, she muttered, "Hey, what are you doing with a pestle?" Sister Jun, tell them all to sit down and eat! Hey, hey, hey, just say you, you should hurry up and get out of the way, this soup is very hot! Well, why don't you help me—"

Chunzi handed over a large bowl of tomato egg soup in his hand directly to Li Yi, and then blew his scalded fingers on the side of his mouth, while also commanding Li Yi: "That who, oops, stupid, you put it in the middle of the table - how can you put the soup on the side!" ”

Poor Li Yi, a social boss, was actually counted down by a little girl, which made her old face red, but it was not easy to have a seizure, and she was extremely embarrassed.

Everyone couldn't help laughing, and even a hint of a smile appeared on the face of the cold-faced policewoman.

Cheng Cheng waved his hand and said: "Everyone sit down, Xiao He, you also sit down, everyone is hungry, eat first, and then talk about work later." ”

A room full of people sat down at this time, and Haruko also took off her apron and sat on the same bench as He Jun - we were exactly eight people, and a table of eight immortals was just full.

"You're welcome, let's do it first! Starve me to death. Haruko was honestly unkind, picked up the bowl and ate.

is different from Haruko's frank and unrestrained, He Jun is very ladylike and plucks rice into his mouth one by one...... So, how could she not be nervous when she saw such a group of strange men, but she used her indifferent appearance to build a wall for herself.

I suspect that this little policewoman is very likely to have been born in a not-so-happy family, so that she has formed this very strong character, and the root of it is a long-term inferiority complex and overprotective self-protection.

This kind of person has a strong sense of self-esteem, does things at a glance, and is easy to drill the horns, but the advantage is that the sense of responsibility is also very strong, if it is simply to cooperate at work, it is very easy to get along.

Cheng Cheng introduced our group to He Jun at the dinner table, and then roughly talked about Qiao Zhenbang's case, He Jun listened very carefully, nodded patiently, and obviously wrote down what Cheng Cheng said very carefully.

"You think that Qiao Zhenbang may have come to our town? He drove a high-class dirt bike from Clay Whats, right? Haruko had been eating wildly with a bowl while listening to us talk about the case, and then interjected, "That person can't be here!" My guest house is at the only entrance to town, and the asphalt road outside is right in front of the guest house gate, and if a car passes by, I'd definitely see it. ”

Li Yi seized the opportunity and retorted: "You have been staring at the road, you don't have to sleep?" ”

Haruko wiped a grain of rice from the corner of her mouth into her mouth, and then said, "My ears are very smart, and the bed is by the window, and if a car drives by in the middle of the night, it will definitely not escape my eyes!" I don't believe you ask Sister Jun! ”

He Jun, who was called "Sister Jun" by Haruko, nodded at us very seriously: "I believe Haruko's words. Section Chief Cheng, you don't know, Haruko does react very sensitively, no matter how late it is, as long as there is a fight in our town, stealing chickens and dogs, a fire, or something, it is basically Haruko who is the first to call the police, and what happened on the road at the entrance of the town has not escaped Haruko's ears and eyes. ”

Li Yi grinned: "Oh, in this way, it's more powerful than a wolf dog." ”

"Hey, who are the wolf dogs! You fool with a certificate on your hand! Haruko sneered.

I was curious: "What certificate?" ”

Haruko snorted twice in her nose: "The tattoo on his hand is not like the certificate of 'quarantine' printed on the pork?" ”

The pair of big flower arms that Li Yi is proud of are actually said to be the quarantine certificate printed on the pork, which is really unbearable.

Before Li Yi could say anything, Chunzi suddenly blocked his mouth: "What's the matter, do you still want to bully me as a little girl?" ”

Cheng Cheng stretched out his hand to signal Li Yi not to be like a little girl, and put down his rice bowl: "After eating in a while, we want to go to Qiao Zhenbang's old house first, Xiao He, is there a problem?" ”

"Do you want to go outside the town to investigate first, maybe the suspect didn't enter our town, let's rule out this possibility first, right?" He Jundao.

Cheng Cheng saw that He Jun seemed to be a little resistant: "Is there any difficulty?" ”

"This ......" He Jun looked a little hesitant, this kind of expression appeared on her face for the first time.

Chunzi on the side put the chopsticks down: "Oh, Sister Jun, why are you like my Uncle Cai, twisting and pinching!" What's so bad about that? Then I'll help you say it! Officer Cheng, it's like this, there was a murder case in our town, and the place where the crime occurred was the old mansion of Writer Qiao! Is my uncle also shirking your job? Actually, that's why! ”

Cheng Cheng raised his eyebrows: "What kind of case?" ”

Haruko pouted: "I don't know about this, my uncle won't tell me, what kind of children don't ask about this-you can ask Sister Jun." ”

He Jun's face had already recovered that serious and almost indifferent expression: "Section Chief Cheng, let's talk on the way." ”

As soon as he said this, He Jun agreed to take us to Qiao Zhenbang's old house.

When I went out, I made a suggestion: leave two people here.

There's a reason I suggest that.

We've gone through a lot of strange things along the way, and it makes no sense that after arriving at our final destination, Blackwater Town, everything is normal, which is obviously impossible.

So, we have to prepare in advance.

Experience along the way tells us that against those monsters, lights seem to be a very reliable means of counter-attack, so each of our cars is equipped with a police flashlight, which has become an important weapon. On the way, Cheng Cheng and I have already discussed that in the future actions, there may be situations where it is necessary to act separately, and at this time we must ensure two points:

First, the number of people in each team must not be less than two, and a strict whistle system must be implemented, and there must be no situation where two people sleep together and die;

Second, each team has a bright flashlight, which is kept by the person on duty.

Also, all of us usually pay more attention to see if we can collect more flashlights, batteries, and so on.

Regarding my proposal, Cheng Cheng only thought about it for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.

Originally, I still planned to leave Li Yi and Zhou Ou, the two of them had been separated together before, and they were slightly familiar with each other, but Li Yi refused to stay, so in the end he had to change Li Haijun and Zhou Ou to stay together, me and Cheng Cheng. Li Yi, Lao Dao's team, plus the little policewoman He Jun, went to Qiao Zhenbang's old house.

Because the bluestone road in the town is really difficult to drive, and the entire Heishui Town is only three or five kilometers in size, it is not a big town, so we chose to walk there.

Lao Dao and I walked at the end of the line, and he quietly asked me: "Aji, when you were eating just now, you didn't say a word, did you kid find anything?" ”

I understood the hint of the old knife, he was actually asking me if I had found anything "dirty", and the number and density of strange things he saw along the way set a new record in his life (of course, in the life after knowing me), and it was no wonder that this old boy became a bit of a soldier.

Moreover, he experienced it with me, unlike Li Yi, just listening to our retelling, it naturally didn't have much feeling.

"Don't be too nervous, I don't think the people we met today are all right—there's no way to be so exaggerated all the way." This way is indeed a little exciting, although the old knife guy has always appeared in front of me as a veteran tough guy, but I am still a little afraid of the old knife guy, and since then I have become nervous, "Hey, you have also seen a lot of scenes with me, but don't be afraid of the well rope for ten years by a snake, I will send you a word - no wonder, no blame, no blame!" ”

"Isn't that weird?" The old knife muttered again.

"What is there in this world that is not dangerous? Even if you are a sweeper, there is danger in the traffic on the road, or if you are a houseman, you may encounter an earthquake and tsunami one day, who knows? Could it be that because you are familiar with the cars on the road and you have often heard about earthquakes and tsunamis, you are not afraid of these things? It's the same thing, you think of them as runaway cars that are slamming towards you, and if we take the right approach and avoid collisions, we can survive. ”

The old knife glared: "It's so simple? ”

"It's as simple as that." I say.

The same thing, complex people, there are complex solutions, simple people, there are simple solutions.

You can sit down and spend it with patience and care, or you can pick up a quick knife and cut it down.

Lao Dao finally asked me: "Then you give me a simple solution, to be honest, I don't say anything about dealing with normal hooligan robbers and murderers, just these strange things, a little worried." ”

"That's why I told you and the stinky fish a long time ago that you have to listen to me for everything here, and that's it. I'm alive, you're all right — you see, it's as simple as that. ”

…………

More than ten minutes later, we were already standing in front of Qiao Zhenbang's old house.

The so-called old house is actually not that old.

This is a Western-style western-style building, which is quite solid, except for a few traces of sun and rain, it still looks very beautiful.

But the case that happened inside was very unpretty.

On the way, the little policewoman He Jun had already briefed us on the case.

The one who lived in the small western-style building was a beautiful online anchor, but now, the anchor who lived here had become a highly decomposed female corpse, and she was abused to death in a very indecent manner...... The most terrifying thing was that the corpse was largely mutilated, as if it had been partially eaten by some wild beast.
