The atmosphere in the conference room was solemn, and the participants were surrounded by thick second-hand smoke, and their faces could barely be seen. No one spoke www.biquge.info the Pen "Fun" cabinet, and everyone in the five groups of serious cases attended the meeting, even including logistics and clerical work.

It was seven days after the alley killings, and a week had passed without any progress in the investigation. Before the alley homicide, there had been three murders in a row, and each time the victim had an irregular fragment of bone next to him. The identities of these victims are varied, and their lives do not seem to have any intersection, and the killer looks like he is killing people at random, and then leaving a lot of deliberate evidence.

In the end, the evidence was traced to no avail, and the murderer successfully confused the police.

The serial murders have had a very bad impact, City A is not a big city, with a population of less than a million, and rumors spread quickly when the place is small, and there are dozens of versions of serial murders, each of which is decent.

Now the city government is in a hurry, and the serious crime team is under tremendous pressure. Everyone in the criminal investigation team worked hard, and all the personnel stopped taking vacations, but after such a long time, not only did there be no progress in the case, but some of the previous clues were also cut off one after another.

Cheng Ye saw the frustration and powerlessness hidden in the anger of the team members, and he understood that these young people, no matter who went through this, would affect their spirits to a certain extent. During the meeting, most of the people were talking about it, and Cheng Ye rarely spoke, and it was not until the end that he assigned tasks to everyone, and he wanted to keep everyone busy.

You can be frustrated, but you can't give up, and you won't be cranky when you get busy.

Cheng Ye didn't leave after the meeting, he sat alone in the conference room and smoked, and when an ashtray was stuffed with cigarette farts, he sighed and stood up.

Zhao Lan waited outside the conference room for a long time, and when she saw Cheng Ye coming out, she hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Are you okay?" ”

"It's okay," Cheng Ye's expression was very calm, "You go to the forensic doctor to urge the comparison results of the bone fragments, find out the identity of the deceased in the alley as soon as possible, and I will check the information of the other deceased to see if I can connect the identities of these people." I always felt that the murderer did not kill people randomly, and there must be some kind of pattern in his choice of targets. ”

Zhao Lan nodded and said, "I know, you take time to take a break, it's not a way to stay up like this, you're not as young and energetic as me." ”

Looking at Cheng Ye's back, Zhao Lan clenched her fists and muttered to herself: "Do you really want to find that magic stick?" ”

There are many meanings of the stick, and in a general sense, the stick refers to a liar. The god stick pretended to be a ghost and a god, so he made a fool of himself, and he was stunned for deceiving people, and people might have to thank him.

Zhao Lan believes that people can't find a scientific solution when they are exhausted, so they have to rely on ghosts and gods for spiritual sustenance, which makes the god stick industry have a broad market. For example, in City A, a small and medium-sized city with a population of less than one million, there are three psychic associations that feed the god sticks alone.

Strictly speaking, Zhao Lan and Cheng Ye are both atheists, but he is younger than Cheng Ye, and he is more receptive to some unknown things. And it just so happened that Zhao Lan had a friend of the magic stick, no matter whether the magic stick was useful or not, with the idea of playing a stick with or without dates, Zhao Lan decided to go to this friend and ask.

The overall decoration of this office building in front of me is very atmospheric, and the location is in the most prosperous golden area in the city, so it is not an exaggeration to say that every inch of land is expensive. The twenty-five-storey office building has many company signboards from top to bottom, and the sixteenth and seventeenth floors are covered by the Exorcism Society. The Exorcism Association is one of the three psychic associations in City A, and it is one of the more high-grade ones.

It can be seen that the Exorcism Association is very lively, and Zhao Lan waited for the elevator three times before coming to the sixteenth floor. There were two rows of seats in the corridor on the sixteenth floor, densely packed with people, all waiting to enter the office of the Exorcism Society. When Zhao Lan wanted to enter the office directly, he was stopped by the security guard and told that he was going to queue up, anyway, he was not in a hurry for a while, so he quietly found a place to sit down and carefully observe everything around.

There was an old lady at the door of the office, with an eager face, holding a photo in her arms and talking to a young man.

"Master, please, Master, I want to see my old man, he left before he left a will, I'm afraid that the two children will fight over the inheritance......"

The young man said with a gloomy face: "Summoning spirits fifty thousand times, reporting the eight characters of the birthday, and bringing a relic of the deceased." ”

Fifty thousand! This is not a small amount of money for any ordinary person, and spending so much money just to meet the so-called ghosts?

Without waiting for Zhao Lan to sigh, the old lady took out a bank card and handed it to the young man and said, "The password is six 6s, there are 20,000 in it, and I will give another 30,000 after the matter is completed." ”

It seems that this old lady is still a rich man, and the inheritance she said must be coveted, otherwise she would not have spent money so happily.

The young man took the bank card, casually beckoned a man dressed in black, and asked the man in black to take the old lady to the next room. Then people kept coming up to talk to the young man, some were released into the office, and some were taken to other rooms by the man in black. Zhao Lan found that most of the people's purpose was similar, they were all here to "see ghosts".

Hell, these two words have to be taken literally here, which means to see ghosts......

I don't know why, Zhao Lan has seen too many people who want to see ghosts, and suddenly at a certain moment he felt chills all over his body, as if there was a big and cold piece of ice around him. He glanced suspiciously left and right, and found that an air conditioner not far to the left had been turned on, and the cold wind was blowing continuously.

"Whew!" Zhao Lan took a deep breath and relaxed.

The environment can affect people's mood and even more so their judgment. Because he had been thinking about seeing ghosts, Zhao Lan thought that there were ghosts around him when the air conditioner was turned on, otherwise how could it be so cold all of a sudden......

However, Zhao Lan thought that it was the air conditioning wind that caused him to misunderstand, but he ignored that the air conditioner that had just been turned on did not have such a strong refrigeration capacity at all, and it took a process to feel the cold like ice.
