Chapter 1: The Statue of Terror (Revised)
The clouds have been changing and walking rapidly, thickening little by little, countless thunders and lightning danced wildly in the dark clouds, thick clouds covered the light, the world fell into darkness, with the huge pressure hitting, gravity, gravity continued to superimpose, and every living creature suffered greatly. People were crying, howling, struggling, and some were yelling, but everyone knew that the sky was really falling and that the world was coming to an end.
Shrouded in dark clouds, the night extended indefinitely, with only the occasional glimmer of light in the void of the clouds giving life to the dead firmament, and then leaving a deeper despair. Black snowflakes continued to fall in the sky, and the snowflakes fell, through the clouds, through the haze, and it descended on the earth with the breath of death, on this corpse-strewn land.
As the last creature died, there was a loud buzz in the sky, and the sound spread to every corner of the world, full of sorrow like the last wail before death, the sound pierced the clouds, scattered the dark clouds, the sun's rays covered the earth again, and the black snowflakes melted rapidly, but only for a moment, the thicker clouds hit again, and continued to thicken and spread downward, and in the blink of an eye it covered the whole land, and then to the ocean, until it wrapped the whole world, and he began to twist and shrink, In the end, this world was swallowed up and clean, leaving only a void, and a world that was countless times larger could be faintly seen in the void, and it floated towards another plane far away with a voice of satisfaction......
Z City Longhua Square, here is the city's most famous white-collar gathering area, a large number of office buildings, countless well-known enterprises are located here, now is the time to go to work on the road is slightly empty.
In the distance, a young woman, in her early 30s, walked slowly with a kind of pride that did not let go of her eyebrows, followed by two men in black, her expression was careless, but no one could see the sharp edge of their eyes.
The young woman walked into an office building, took the elevator to the front of a company on the 5th floor, a big sign in a glass door said No. 503, Lingfeng Investigation and Consulting Company, the young woman knocked on the door and walked in, the company is unobstructed, a lonely front desk, several sofa seats, from the left side of the front desk into an independent glass door, there are only two stools and an ordinary desk in the door, there is only a laptop on the table, and a young man in his early 20s sits in front of the computer. The company only has two desks, one at the front desk and one with a young man with a separate office, and now there is no one at the front desk.
The young woman was stunned, it seemed that she was a little confused about this company, then the young man in the office raised her head, got up and walked out, opened the door and said politely, "There is a distinguished guest coming to the door, please come in quickly" while saying and preparing to welcome the young woman into the door, only to see that the appearance of the young man in front of him is above average, about 1.8 meters tall, and the whole body exudes a simple and clean, like the atmosphere of the big boy next door, just at a glance, it makes people feel very kind and trusting, only from the appearance of this is a person without scheming. The young woman turned to the two men in black behind her, closed the glass door, and entered the office alone.
After sitting on both sides of the table with the young man, Kai said, "You are the detective of Liu Feng's office?" Liu Feng leaked a hint of a smile and said: "If it is fake, it is both a detective and a boss, I don't know what commission the lady has here?" ”
She carefully looked at the man in front of her a few times, a suspicious expression flashed on her face, she really couldn't connect this person with the detective, and after being silent for a few seconds, she made up her mind to speak, "My surname is Huang, and my single name is a phoenix, I want to entrust you to find someone this time, if Mr. Liu can help me find someone, even if it is just some clues, our Tang family will come up with a price that satisfies Mr. Liu." ”
Liu Feng's eyes were slightly confused, and he also looked at Huang Feng carefully, the feminine temperament in front of him was resolute and there was no twist between her demeanor, she sat upright, her figure was well-proportioned and tall, but she wore a pair of flat shoes, and she wore light makeup, and her two arms were slightly larger than ordinary girls, but there were no prominent muscles, which should be caused by long-term practice of some kind of boxing, and he guessed that it was military boxing.
The surname is Tang, the military, this origin is already obvious to Liu Feng, after all, there are only a few people who dare to call themselves the Tang family in Z City, and there is only one family related to the military.
This Tang family is not a Wangmen noble, it can only be regarded as a small military family, and now the highest title should be the first level of military commander or division commander, which is also a little famous in Z City.
Then Liu Feng listened to Huang Feng tell the story from beginning to end, the three brothers of the Tang family, Huang Feng, is the wife of the eldest of them, and Liu Feng is looking for Liu Feng to investigate the disappearance of the third Tang Yuan more than a month ago.
The result of the police investigation is that he disappeared from his home one night, without a wallet or any documents, the police investigation near the surveillance only has a record of him going home, and there is no record of him leaving, and there is no trace of outsiders entering, just disappeared out of thin air, the task force investigated for a month without any progress, and now the police have removed the task force, divided into a missing person case and shelved, the Tang family has no way to hold the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor to find Liu Feng here.
After listening carefully and asking a few more questions, Liu Feng felt that there was a place that was very noteworthy, Tang Yuan had been behaving strangely since two months ago, often going to places such as Taoist temples and temples, and also buying some items such as peach wood swords, rune paper, etc., because Huang Feng said that Tang Yuan did not believe in ghosts and gods before, so what was the reason for his sudden change.
After listening to the whole case, he accepted the case without much hesitation, not all because of the commission, but because Liu Feng himself was also a little interested in the case, and sent her out of the firm after agreeing with Huang Feng on the investigation time and related expenses.
Until the end, Huang Feng didn't have much confidence in him, and didn't have much hope, firstly, the case itself has been investigated by the police for a long time and there are no clues, and secondly, he feels that Liu Feng is too young and feels unreliable. For things like investigating cases, the image of an uncle in his 40s holding a pipe is more believable.
Let's talk about this Liu Feng, his mother died not long after he was born, and his father was the most famous private detective in the city, and even the police often came to him for help when they encountered some difficult cases, but because of excessive smoking and drinking, lung cancer was detected three years ago, and he died after only three months of struggling in the hospital bed.
After Liu Feng held the funeral, it took more than a month to dilute his sadness, and then returned to the university campus, don't worry about money, the money left by his father is enough for him to live an ordinary life.
Two years later, Liu Feng, who graduated from college, used the knowledge he had learned from his father to return to Z City and opened this Lingfeng investigation consulting company, that is, a detective investigation agency.
There are only two people in this firm now, one is Liu Feng's boss and chief detective, and the other is the company's front desk Wu Xiaoli, Wu Xiaoli was recruited half a year ago, this office Liu Feng has been open for a year, and no one was recruited in the first half of the year, and finally Liu Feng even coaxed and deceived this girl who had just graduated from college and was a little cute to the company, but a few days ago she had something at home and asked for a leave of absence for half a month, and Liu Feng approved it very happily.
In fact, the office is very idle every day, and when there is a case, it will be busy for a while, and most of the other time, it is just watching movies and playing games. The firm's profit is just enough for the company's operating expenses and Liu Feng's daily expenses.
Liu Feng doesn't care if he has a house and a car, and he is not a person with great ambitions, although his investigation and analysis ability as a detective is not weak, but he is too lazy to promote and advertise his company, and now the people who come every day are basically recommended by his old customers. Even so, there are more and more people who know about this detective agency, after all, a good reputation is also a kind of promotion, which is also Liu Feng's trouble, he just wants to take on a case once in a while.
After a night's rest, Liu Feng contacted the Tang family in the afternoon of the next day, and then went downstairs to Tangyuan's house, which is a relatively high-end community with swimming pool gardens.
Take the elevator to the 7th floor of Tang Yuan's house, this building has 8 floors, each floor is a single family, from the downstairs structure diagram each home should be about 230 square meters,
Liu Feng looked at this door at the door, this door is very new, including the door lock, and the surrounding walls are the same, it can be seen that this place has only been inhabited for a few months at most.
Speaking of the origin of the money to buy a house, it is also very strange, although the Tang family has some assets, but the way of the family's education is self-reliance, and after completing their studies, they will be required to leave home and develop on their own.
Tang Yuan is inconspicuous at home, one of his two elder brothers in the military relies on the relationship between the elders to develop prosperously, and the other goes down to the local area to be the deputy secretary of the county party committee, which is also considered young, and he wanted to be in business, but after all, some are young and the elders in the family have no experience in business, so the capital brought out from the family was quickly tossed up, and there has been no result, so there is no way to work for others first, thinking that it is not too late to study for two years first,
But just over a month ago, he suddenly took out a sum of money to buy the house, and it is said that the money was lucky enough for him to buy antiques in a remote Taoist monastery.
The family thought about it, and he didn't say anything when he was crazy about changing some messy things during that time, of course, there were also some reasons for this house, and they were more laissez-faire to Tang Yuan.
Liu Feng was thinking about the sound of the elevator opening the door behind him, and a man in black walked out, it was one of the two people who followed Huang Feng yesterday, and after saying hello to each other, the man in black took out the key and opened the door of Tang Yuan's house.
After entering the room, Liu Feng turned around and found that the room was a little strangely arranged, and there seemed to be some kind of law, Liu Feng took out his mobile phone and checked it with a search engine, it was still a layout that blocked the disaster, but Liu Feng didn't believe in this, so he didn't care too much.
After turning around, Liu Feng walked into Tang Yuan's bedroom, Liu Feng's mind began to emerge a picture simulating Tang Yuan's actions at home, he had seen Tang Yuan's photos before, he was a fat man weighing between 95~110 kilograms, the picture appeared Tang Yuan took a bath, walked into the bedroom with a bath towel and a glass of milk, took off his slippers and lay on the bed, picked up a Buddhist scripture placed on the side of the bed, and suddenly disappeared after reading it for a few minutes,
Well? It should have disappeared suddenly, the bath towel was still there, the book slipped and fell freely on the bed, and there was no trace of getting out of bed, so it disappeared, Liu Feng frowned slightly, and the judgment he came to now was basically the same as that of the police, but this seemed impossible, how could a person suddenly disappear like evaporation in the world, Liu Feng turned around a few times in various positions in the room, looking at and analyzing various possibilities,
When Liu Feng returned to the living room, he inadvertently skimmed a corner, and suddenly hit a spirit, only to see a statue in a corner of the hall, and he was scared into a cold sweat just by glancing at it.
This statue has no face, but it feels like it is screaming silently, I saw that there were two hands grabbed from the void on the statue's neck, and then look at his chest, a child's head passed through the heart, and a strange smile leaked from the face that passed through the body, and then saw that his lower body was slowly eaten away by several evil ghosts wrapped in chains, this statue is so terrifying, and one thing, when Liu Feng entered this living room before, there was no such statue, Liu Feng believed that his memory would never be mistaken.
Liu Feng looked back at the man in black sitting on the sofa in shock, "You just put this statue?" The man in black looked around suspiciously and said, "What statue" Liu Feng looked at him and didn't look like he was pretending, Liu Feng turned his head and pointed to the statue again.
But this time, before the man in black could speak, Liu Feng was horrified to see that the face of the statue had changed, and the facial features that had been faceless slowly appeared, and the eyes, nose and mouth were becoming clearer and clearer......
