Chapter 16: A Strange Murder
When Director Wang returned home, it was already 9 o'clock in the evening, and Kang Zhonghui had already gone back. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info He closed the door, walked to the window, and placed the token on the windowsill.
"Senior Zhou, if you have time, come over." Wang Dao lit a cigarette and sat on the sofa waiting for Zhou Boxi to arrive.
In less than five minutes, a cold wind blew in the room, and Zhou Boxi appeared. "Master, I don't know what is summoning?"
Director Wang extinguished the cigarette and said, "Do you remember Kang Zhonghui in the last Soul Sucking Crystal Incident, he is now my student." ”
"Oh? Kang Zhonghui: Is he really an innate spiritual being? Zhou Boxi asked.
Director Wang nodded, and then said, "Yes, Kang Zhonghui is not only an innate spiritual senser, but also a very good talent. Therefore, I want to arrange a trial for him, and the content of the trial needs the help of Senior Zhou to prepare. ”
"The host, no problem. However, Kang Zhonghui is now 21 years old, and he is only now starting to learn the relevant knowledge and skills of demon hunters, will it be too late? Zhou Boxi asked.
Director Wang spit out a puff of cigarette and said with a look of reminiscence: "Don't underestimate him, his potential is very high." Also, I didn't learn how to be a demon hunter until I was 22 years old. If Sister Jin had given up on me for this reason, would I still be who I am today? ”
Zhou Boxi nodded understandingly, then took a step back and disappeared into the yin wind.
The days that followed were uneventful. When Mr. Gu flew back to Fujian a week later, Mr. Wang's online store was getting better, so he hired a customer service named Xia Ling as his first full-time employee. In addition, Director Wang also registered a company by the way. Qiu Haiwei and Zhao Jin still maintained their usual style and helped Xia Ling integrate into the four-person collective.
As the Demon Hunter course progressed, Director Wang became more and more surprised by Kang Zhonghui's learning speed, and at the same time, his relationship with Kang Zhonghui became better and better. Kang Zhonghui was very satisfied with the progress of his strength, and began to be a little proud.
The day is Saturday, and the season has come to the beginning of summer. Director Wang sat at the computer desk at home, eating popsicles while watching the new summer products launched by the supplier, while Kang Zhonghui sat on the side and copied "Purple Book". At this time, Director Wang's mobile phone rang, and it was Xu Shaohua calling.
"Director Wang, are you free? I'll pick you up when I'm free. As soon as Director Wang answered the phone, he heard Xu Shaohua's eager voice.
"Why are you in such a hurry, what's wrong, is something wrong?" Director Wang bit off the last piece of ice and asked.
"Yes, something happened, and this time there was a fatality."
"Such a big deal?! Okay, Kang Zhonghui and I will prepare things first and wait for you to come over. ”
"Teacher, can I finally go on a mission with you?" As soon as Director Wang hung up the phone, Kang Zhonghui asked excitedly.
Director Wang glanced at him and said, "Bring the set of observation tools I gave you last time, in broad daylight, we can only observe the scene first." ”
Half an hour later, Director Wang and Kang Zhonghui, who was carrying a backpack, got into Xu Shaohua's car together. Xu Shaohua and Director Wang glanced at each other and said, "Sit down, the scene this time is on the side of Xingsha." ”
Director Wang sat in the passenger seat, fastened his seat belt, and asked, "Ah Hua, briefly tell me about the situation." ”
Xu Shaohua said: "Yesterday morning, the police station on the other side of Xingsha received a report that a male body was found in the corridor on the 24th floor of the apartment building. The deceased's name was Fang Xianwen, and he was a tenant living on the 25th floor. Later, the criminal investigation team investigated the scene and preliminarily judged that it was a myocardial infarction that caused death. After my dad read the dossier, he asked us to participate in the investigation. Because the deceased was only 26 years old, it was a bit unreasonable to suddenly die of a myocardial infarction in the corridor. Secondly, the body was found by the deceased's neighbor, according to the neighbor's account, when the electricity went out in the apartment the night before, she went to the deceased's house to borrow a lighter, and the deceased did not have anything unusual at that time. An hour later, a call came from the apartment, and the neighbor was about to go down to sell the fruit, and found that the door of the deceased's house was open, but the deceased was not at home. The neighbor thought that the deceased had forgotten to close the door, so he didn't care, but just helped him close the door. It wasn't until the next morning, when a neighbor went to the corridor to take out the garbage, that the deceased was found. ”
Director Wang thought for a moment and asked, "According to this description, I haven't found any suspicions that require our intervention for the time being. Is there a vision at the scene? ”
"I don't know how to describe it, but you'll find out when you get to the scene." Xu Shaohua replied.
Half an hour later, Xu Shaohua's car stopped at the bottom of the apartment building, and the three of them took the elevator to the 25th floor. Wang Dao, Kang Zhonghui and Xu Shaohua came to the deceased's room first, which was a single room that was transparent from north to south. Kang Zhonghui didn't feel anything unusual except for the faint smell of sulfur in the room.
Director Wang walked out of the room and knocked on the door next door. The one who opened the door was a beautiful woman about 25 years old, who looked at Director Wang suspiciously and asked, "Who are you looking for?" ”
"Hello, I'm Fang Xianwen's cousin, I heard that you are a good friend of Xianwen, and you were the first to find out that something happened to Xianwen, so I want to take the liberty of asking, have you found anything about Xianwen these days? Usually he is in good health, why did he suddenly have a myocardial infarction and left? Director Wang asked with a sad face.
"Hello cousin, come and sit down first. In fact, Xianwen and I have not known each other for a long time, less than half a year. He was very nice and easy to get along with, sometimes he would take the bus with me to work and buy me breakfast when I was too late. I really didn't expect ......" said that, the beautiful neighbor also fell into a sad mood.
"yes, who would have thought? How did you find out that Xianwen had passed away? Director Wang saw that it was wrong, and immediately pulled the topic back.
"Oh, yes. I go to the corridor every morning to take out the garbage, and when I went to take out the garbage yesterday morning, I found that the garbage cans between the 25th floors were missing, so I went down to the 24th floor and found that there were two garbage cans on the 24th floor. I thought it was the cleaning aunt who brought the garbage can on the 25th floor to the 24th floor. I was just about to throw garbage into the trash can when I found Fang Xianwen lying inside! I quickly shook him and felt that his whole body was cold, so I felt his pulse, only to find that he had no heartbeat......" replied the beautiful neighbor.
Director Wang sighed and said, "Alas, how can this be? Just go. I'm going to sort out the things in the first article, so I'll take my leave first. ”
After returning to Fang Xianwen's house, Director Wang told Xu Shaohua and Kang Zhonghui what he knew. The three of them sat down and discussed it for a while, but still had no clue, so they decided to go to the corridor to have a look.
There was nothing special about the hallway of the apartment, a touch light, no windows, but a small ventilation hole and a trash can just behind the safe access door. The three of them walked to the 24th floor of the corridor and didn't find anything unusual, but Kang Zhonghui smelled the same faint smell of sulfur as Fang Xianwen's room.
"What to do, the current investigation has no way to prove that this matter has any connection with the supernatural event." Xu Shaohua lit a cigarette and said.
"Teacher, why don't we try to summon spirits? The deceased himself must have known how he died. Kang Zhonghui said.
Director Wang glanced at Kang Zhonghui and said, "You can try, but you can't summon spirits in the corridors in broad daylight, it will scare the residents." In this way, Zhonghui, you and I will come over again tonight, and we will summon spirits in Fang Xianwen's room. Xu Shaohua, you say hello to your father, don't be when we are summoning spirits, they came to collect evidence again. ”
"Okay, no problem, then I'll send you back first." Kang Zhonghui said.
Director Wang shook his head and said, "No need, let's open a room in the business hotel next to it, so as not to run around." However, Ah Hua, you can help me find a few soul charms, I didn't bring them when I came out. ”
"I've convinced you, can you do things more reliably, okay, I'll help you get it." Xu Shaohua drove out of the apartment.
Director Wang and Xu Shaohua came to the business hotel next to it and opened a double room. After Director Wang entered the room, he found a pen and a post-it note, and after writing some things, he handed the post-it note, two hundred yuan and room card to Xu Shaohua, and said, "I'm going to go to a college classmate in Xingsha, you go and buy these things first, and when I come back, we will go to Fang Xianwen's house together to summon spirits." By the way, I'll give you the key first, so that I won't lose it then." ”
"Oh, okay. But, teacher, when are you coming back? Kang Zhonghui put away his things and asked.
"I don't know, it's possible that you'll eat at the same school, so you can eat by yourself when the time comes, and you don't have to wait for me." After finishing speaking, Director Wang left.
Kang Zhonghui looked at the list, which was basically bowls, glutinous rice, candles and the like, so he went to the supermarket next to him and bought all the things. Not long after Kang Zhonghui returned to the hotel room, the phone rang, it was Xu Shaohua calling.
"Zhonghui, are you in the hotel? Okay, I'll come over now. ”
"Okay, I'll wait for you in the hotel lobby."
Ten minutes later, Xu Shaohua took a small bag and found Kang Zhonghui sitting on the sofa in the lobby. After handing the bag to Kang Zhonghui, he asked, "What about your master?" He told me to get the Talisman and ran away again. ”
"The teacher said he was going to eat with his classmates and might have to come later." Kang Zhonghui replied.
"Oh, then I know. Well, I've already handed over the spiritualist charm, I'll see you tonight. Xu Shaohua patted Kang Zhonghui on the shoulder and said.
"You can't just look at me, it's mainly up to the teacher." Kang Zhonghui said.
"Yes, yes, that's right. Well, I still have some things, so I'll go first. Xu Shaohua said hello and left.
Kang Zhonghui scratched his head with the small bag and returned to the hotel room. Since the teacher was not around, Kang Zhonghui, who was alone in the hotel, lay on the bed and played with his mobile phone until he fell asleep. By the time he woke up, it was already eight o'clock in the evening. Kang Zhonghui got up and looked at his phone, and found that Director Wang had sent him a few messages. The first one was sent at 5 o'clock in the afternoon, saying that Kang Zhonghui should eat alone first. The second one was sent at 7 p.m., saying that there might not be a way to get back in time. The third one was sent at 7:30 p.m., saying that there were some things in the classmate's family that he needed to help deal with, and the conjuring at night might need to be completed by Kang Zhonghui independently. The fourth one was sent five minutes ago, asking Kang Zhonghui to call him.
Kang Zhonghui hurriedly dialed Director Wang's phone, and there was a noisy voice on the other end of the phone, and Director Wang said loudly on the other end of the phone: "Hey, hey!" Zhonghui: Did you hear that? Have you eaten? ”
"Teacher, I haven't eaten yet, aren't you coming at night?" Kang Zhonghui asked.
"Oh, then you listen to me first, and then go to dinner. I'm still here with my classmate, and his relatives and the villagers in the next village quarreled over the problem of feng shui trees, and insisted that I deal with it here, so you can complete the conjuring tonight independently, no problem, right? ”
"But... But teacher, I've never done it before. Kang Zhonghui said with some panic.
"It's okay, just follow what I told you before, it's very simple, with your current level, there shouldn't be any problems. I still have something to deal with here, so I'm going to hang up the phone first, and if you have any questions, call me again. If things go well on my side, I'll come to you too. By the way, I have already asked Ah Hua about Fang Xianwen's birth time and death time, and I will send it to you later. After finishing speaking, Director Wang hung up the phone.
"This ...... Forget it, let's go eat first. There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Kang Zhonghui could only think optimistically.
