Chapter 13: Clueless (1)

Late at night, a black light suddenly appeared in the dark corridor of an old 7-story house built in the 80s of the last century in S City, and a figure slowly walked out from the middle.

The neighborhood was silent. Today is Monday, and most of the people who live here have to get up early to work, so most of them have an early break. The lights in the streets and alleys were broken, with only sporadic lights scattered between the darkness. If you have insomnia, you will find that it is surprisingly quiet here today, and even the occasional dog barking in the past seems to have disappeared into the darkness.

The black hole of black light in the corridor dissipated, leaving the person who came out of it standing on the stairs in a daze. At this time, the bright moonlight slowly came out of the thick clouds and fell on this person's face, and when he looked up, it was the reporter Zhou Yanjun, who had been missing for a long time.

Zhou Yanjun looked at the bright full moon in the sky with dull eyes, as if he was pondering something. After a while, his body suddenly trembled, as if he suddenly remembered something important, and immediately raised his left hand to see that he was firmly grasping a book with a pure black cover in his hand.

Zhou Yanjun showed an incredible expression, but then a strange and excited smile gradually extended uncontrollably at the corners of his mouth.

...

...

Zhou Ji learned the next morning from the handler who had just arrived in S City, that the reporter Zhou Yanjun, who had been missing for half a day, had gone out to work from his residence safe and sound this morning. This made Zhou Ji breathe a sigh of relief, but he was very confused. Could it be that it was just a coincidence that Zhou Yanjun was separated from him yesterday and all the surveillance in the vicinity suddenly failed? But he always felt that things were not so simple, so he instructed the agents of the processing department to keep an eye on Zhou Yanjun's every move, and hurried to the scene of the crime himself.

The day before yesterday, Zhou Ji was still dealing with another case, and after receiving the notice from above, he immediately threw down the work in his hand and hurried to S City, because he was too tired, and his brain was stuffed into too many things that he couldn't digest for a while, so he fell asleep as soon as he got in the car. I slept until 9 a.m. when I received the contact number from the headquarters, and then I returned to the scene of the crime to hand over to my colleagues.

However, as soon as he walked into the courtyard of the Wang family's villa, he was stunned. Not because of the fact that the courtyard was full of agents searching for traces, of course, but because of the three people who stood and spoke at the door of the villa. And two of them he was all too familiar with, they were Yue Zhi and Wang Yao, who should not have appeared here. Things seem to be a little off, the two men are going their own business in the two cities furthest away from S City, and several of the participants in File 0376 haven't seen each other for more than half a year since the last meeting decided to go their separate ways to look for clues. And the most important thing is that this case belongs only to him, what would make these two people leave everything behind and suddenly fly here? Could it be an order from above?

Zhou Ji was extremely puzzled, and a trace of uneasiness immediately rose in his heart. He hurriedly parked the car, and the pace on his feet also quickened at the same time, and he couldn't care about being polite, so he ran to a few people in three steps and two steps and asked, "Wang Yao, Yue Zhi, why did you two come here?" Has your case been dealt with or has something happened? ”

"Ah, Zhou Ji. There you are. ”

A handsome man who was not tall and had a short and medium point turned around, looked directly into Zhou Ji's eyes and said. This person is Wang Yao. He was the oldest of the men, but he had a baby face, and if people didn't know him, they might think of him as a high school student. And standing beside him and looking back at the same time, a strong man with a flat head and a body size of almost 2 meters is Yue Zhi, who is extremely inconsistent with his feminine name and image.

"You're slow." Wang Yao frowned and said without a trace, "We have been here for more than 3 hours, and the matter is almost dealt with, and the crime scene and report are almost memorized, you just arrived." Why have you become so undisciplined after only half a year, or have you been damaged by someone? ”

Zhou Ji knew that what Wang Yao was referring to was Li Tang. He couldn't get along with Li Tang in the first place, and although he couldn't say how happy he was when Li Tang had an accident this time, he was obviously relieved to lose this 'partner'.

But Zhou Ji didn't want to bother with him about these issues now, after all, the doubts in his heart had not been solved.

"None of that matters, I have my own business. You haven't answered me yet, why did you all come here all of a sudden? ”

"We weren't supposed to be here." Yue Zhi spoke, "Yesterday afternoon, I suddenly received an order from above, asking me to deal with the matter on Li Tang's side, because the place where I am is closest to him," halfway through his words, he saw that Zhou Ji wanted to speak and stopped, so he stretched out his hand and patted the other party's shoulder and said, ".... Ah, I'm sorry about Li Tang. I know you're iron buddies, but it's not that I don't want to tell you what's going on on his side, it's just that as soon as my plane hit the ground, he came up. He gestured to the stranger next to him, "And then I flew right here." So, apart from the notice that Li Tang was 'processed', I don't know anything about it as much as you. ”

Zhou Ji's eyes dimmed. But Wang Yao didn't care about this, but said to himself: "Yue Zhi and I are in a similar situation, but I was changed when I was flying in the sky, I originally thought that you didn't handle things well, but when I saw the two of them on the ground, I felt that there was a problem." It must be a big deal. ”

“... Did the higher authorities give you any orders? "Zhou Ji is a little confused." After Li Tang's accident, isn't the matter on his side as important as mine? ”

"Of course it's not as important as yours." The stranger suddenly spoke, "Whether it is Agent Li Tang or the only clue left in the whole case, the precious suspect, they all disappeared at the same time in the heavily guarded police station after he spoke to you. Calling up the surveillance over there is also a snowflake, and there are no other useful clues at all. Just find someone, and the miscellaneous soldiers will do it. Do we still have any point in staying there? ”

Zhou Ji was a little annoyed by this indifferent words, and his strange accent made it even more unpleasant, so he asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Ahh That's right. I haven't introduced myself yet. The stranger's chin was slightly raised, his eyes were contemptuous, and his arrogant attitude was even 100 times worse than Wang Yao, who had always been known for his narcissism. My name is Lin Xingcheng. I'm from Malaysia, I'm a Chinese agent, and I've been working overseas to deal with some paranormal events in Chinatown. And I'm here this time to help you solve the case. ”
