Chapter 4: The Devil's Head

Su Xiao told me that because the male colleague did not die and the case was filed quickly, no one touched the desk. A few police officers had come to see it before, but they didn't find anything, and everything on the table was the same as before the male colleague left.

I stood at my desk and looked at the things on the table: they were neatly arranged, and I could tell that this man was a well-organized person. There were two water cups on the table, a can of black coffee that drank most of the time, and the rest was a computer and various materials.

The list of programs he watched before the accident was also on the table. I reached out and opened the program list, which was the online movie channel's program schedule for the next quarter. It's detailed, and the playing time of each movie is accurate to the second, plus the advertising time, and it is broadcast non-stop 24 hours a day.

The schedule is arranged according to the date, starting from November 1st, that is, half a month has passed.

"What time is it?" I asked.

Xiaoxiao was stunned: "Hmm, November 20th." ā€

I nodded: "Six days ago, this buddy had an accident, and it was the fourteenth." ā€

As I spoke, I began to turn to page 14, and when I reached page 14, the incandescent light above my head suddenly went out with a "snap"!

Xiaoxiao was taken aback, and instinctively hugged me tightly, and I was stunned for a few seconds before I came back to my senses: "Girl, I remember you said that the incandescent lights in your office are inductively controlled......"

With that, I waved my hand, and with a few "pops", the overhead light came on again.

"I—I forgot......" Xiao Xiaoqiao blushed and let go of me embarrassedly. But I still felt a kind of nervousness in her hands.

I patted her hand and looked back at the program, but I was stunned: on the November 14th program, in addition to the names of the films in those tables, there was a faint photograph.

Because of the printing, this photo is not clearly printed, and the general outline can only be vaguely seen, and the lines are broken in many places, so it is not very clear.

I reached out and picked up the program and looked at it closely, and it felt like a picture of a person.

"Xiaoxiao, can you see that there is a person on this?" I frowned and turned to show Xiaoxiao.

Xiaoxiao looked at it with her mouth open: "It's like a photo of a person, it looks a little familiar, this ...... Hey?! Isn't it? You see! ā€

Xiaoxiao seemed to have discovered something, reached out to trace something on the photo, and followed the direction she traced, I slowly saw the outline of a person: it was a selfie of a person, with short hair, thin, and smiling.

This man is the man who is insane!

However, why are selfies copied on the program list? Could it be that I accidentally caught the photo in it while copying? Putting this aside, why did the man go insane after seeing himself take a selfie again?!

Su Xiao on the side held my arm tightly and didn't say a word.

I gently shook her hand and turned to put the program down.

The moment the program rotated slightly, I suddenly felt that the photo had changed its angle and changed into a different look. I bit my lip, took the program back, and slowly rotated it clockwise.

When the program rotated almost 90 degrees, a devil's head popped out of my eyes! In this selfie, after rotating at a certain angle, those intermittent lines that are not clearly printed are outlined as a picture of the devil with teeth and claws and staring eyes!

And the moment I saw this image, my eyes flickered, and I almost fell to the ground!

I hurriedly reached out and held the desk, and suddenly felt that my mouth was dry and my head was dizzy, as if I had a serious illness in an instant!

"Rui, what's wrong with you?!" When Xiaoxiao saw me like this, she was so frightened that she hurriedly helped me: "Are you okay?!" ā€

I was afraid that Xiaoxiao would see the devil's head, so I hurriedly flipped through my hand and flipped the program list on the table first: "It's okay, it's okay!" It doesn't matter, I guess I didn't rest much after taking the train all night, and I drank a little wine with my second uncle at noon, and my body was a little tired. ā€

Su Xiao held my hand: "Okay, then I'll send you back." ā€

"What about you? Back to antique sleep? I asked with a wicked smile.

"Hmm!" Su Xiao gave me a blank look and helped me leave the TV station.

When I returned to the antique shop, the second uncle was waiting for me, and I was naturally very happy to see Xiaoxiao come back, so I pulled Xiaoxiao and chatted for a while before letting the two of us go upstairs to rest.

By the time we both washed up, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening.

Xiaoxiao lay on the bed, holding the Bugs Bunny doll in one hand and my arm in the other: "Oops, it's been a long time since I've had this warm feeling!" ā€

I looked at Xiaoxiao's smile, and the happiness in my heart welled up, whispering in her ear that only the two of us could understand, and watching her fall asleep with a smile.

When I woke up the next day, Xiaoxiao had already gone to work, I washed up and went downstairs, and saw the second uncle happily eating donkey meat.

"Second uncle, is it delicious?" I asked with a smile.

"Delicious!" The second uncle pouted at me: "Boy, let me tell you, really, let's take a look at your marriage next year, it's really not good to have no woman in the family!" Without Xiaoxiao, I serve you every day; With Xiaoxiao, I'm not naked! ā€

"Cut!" I picked up the donkey meat and burned it and stuffed it in my mouth: "You are in your forties, and you are not married, and I am not married." Otherwise, if you say it, your uncle will marry later than your nephew, and it's not good! ā€

"What a reason!" The second uncle took a sip of me.

I bowed forward: "Second uncle, you told me not long ago that the best woman is not as good as the worst wine in your eyes, I guess I have to learn from you!" ā€

"! If you learn from me, then our Gu family will be extinct! The second uncle ate the last mouthful of the fire and drank the soy milk in the cup: "To get down to business, I've really been thinking about it for the past two days, the iron box left by your grandfather, if necessary, I will go to meet that Qingyue senior in person." ā€

"What do you think will be in that tin box?" I asked in a low voice.

"I don't know." The second uncle shook his head: "I've guessed for a long time, if it is an antique object, no matter how valuable it is, your grandfather will not be so cautious, and then he never wanted to find this thing after the limelight passed, otherwise with his ability, it would be impossible to find it for decades." So I guess, could it be something that is not good for our family? ā€

Something unfavorable, what would that be? I suddenly thought of something: "No, second uncle, that Chai Lao Wu has been eyeing that iron box, which means that they know what is inside!" ā€

The second uncle looked at me with disdain: "Boy, did you just react to this matter?" But even if they knew, you also said it, these people are very strong in kung fu except for the twin brothers, and even the Budai monk has suffered a small loss, and your second uncle and I are really enough to choke on their opponents. They won't say it either. ā€

I scratched my head embarrassedly, I hadn't been interested in the contents of the box before.

"Let's not talk about this yet." The second uncle said and handed me an envelope: "This is from Liang Ruoyi last night, and it is the reward for this operation." ā€

I reached out and took it, opened it, and it was a check, six digits.

"Second uncle, this is yours, you can take it." I handed it back to the second uncle.

"Silly boy, you're in your twenties, and this is your own money, and you keep it yourself. If you want to honor your second uncle, get me more good wine! The second uncle stood up as he spoke, and walked to the counter to read the newspaper.

I shrugged my shoulders, quickly finished breakfast, cleaned up the table, changed my clothes and said hello to my second uncle, went out across the street, and came to the criminal police team of Shizhong District.

The team was not busy, so I asked someone about Chu Ying's office, so I walked over and knocked on the door.

"Please come in!" A man's voice came from inside, I pushed the door in, and saw that there were four or five policemen in the office sitting at their desks looking at the documents, I smiled and nodded, pointing to Chu Ying, who was sitting in the innermost part and looking at the case file.

Those people smiled at me as a greeting, and I walked lightly to Chu Ying's table and put my hands on the table: "Officer Chu, Uncle Chu asked me to go on a blind date with you!" ā€
