The night was ruled by dazzling lightning and roaring thunder. Without warning, dark clouds covered the sky, heavy blocks collided with each other, rubbing together strange sparks, followed by a loud rumbling noise that made people roll restlessly overhead, as if they were about to fall.
Perhaps impatient, the sky finally threw the first long thunderbolt down, piercing the sky and reaching the benches in the park. The pungent smoke had a burning smell, and the structure of the hard plastic texture was only a large piece of black, and it did not burn, even if it was a large piece of black things, it was just that the paint on the surface was baked a little by the high temperature in an instant, and it did not affect Mu Qingyang, who had just fallen down, lying on it......
"There are a lot of stars today, and they are very bright!"
It's confusing to say — not that he himself can see through the thick clouds, but if you're thrown from the sky like a rag doll, you can understand how he's feeling right now...... Although it will not break the blood flow of the head, dizziness and dizziness are inevitable.
The environment here is on the edge of an artificial lake, with a few dirty green lounge chairs under a few locust trees, and next to it is a small ferry crossing, full of large and small boats, most of which are driven by foot pedal drives, shaped like geese, ducks, and even parked with an antique painting boat and a slender dragon boat.
Of course, for Young Master Mu, who had just returned from that chaotic world, he would not be in the mood to go on a night trip at all, unless......
The dark clouds dispersed, and the moonlight shone directly on the surface of the lake, which should have been a very poetic scene. But there was one more person, a middle-aged man who was soaked and swollen abnormally with the flow.
If there is a corpse floating in the lake, most people's first reaction is to call the police, but for a person who has just returned to reality empty-handed and has a strong curiosity, he chooses to go directly to investigate......
"Stop! Raise your hands. ”
Mu Qingyang, who was carefully tying the cable with his head down, slowly turned his body. Behind him stood two security guards and a policeman with a serious expression......
"Your name, age, place of origin, and ...... job"
This is the first time Mu Qingyang has entered the door of the police station, and of course, he is also a very unusual suspect for Cheng Ran, who personally arrested him and brought him to justice.
Cheng Ran is a deputy captain of the criminal police team of the Nancheng Branch of X City, he has been engaged in interrogation work for five years, and he has seen many faces of all kinds in recent years, most of them are criminals. For a police officer who has been in direct confrontation with the dark side of society for a long time. It was the first time he had seen a strange person who was untouched, who cared about the cause of death of a corpse first, and who didn't care when he was caught.
He had been confronting this strange man for 24 hours, and together with the time he had been seconded to patrol the night shift before, Cheng Ran had not closed his eyes for a full 36 hours, and he was now very irritable, his thick eyebrows were tightly twisted together, and his towering cheekbones were even more protruding because of the collapse of his cheeks. Thus adding a lot of haggard to this tired face.
"You were caught at the scene of the crime by my own hands, and I'll tell you the truth. The current situation is very bad for you, especially if you are cooperative in your attitude, which is a key ......"
Speaking of grabbing it with his own hands, Cheng Ran only wanted to shake his head and smile bitterly, if time could be reversed, he would rather be severely criticized by the captain. I will never get caught in this hot potato. He had already used all kinds of common methods, but this strange man still didn't say a word, without any expression, it seemed to be more like he was wandering in the world, if it weren't for the strange question that the other party had asked if this was a human being when he was arrested. He's going to think it's a serious speech impediment!
In fact, Mu Qingyang is now connecting everything in conditioning.
For a youkai who has been hovering between life and death recently, he doesn't care about a simple homicide case at all, but this deceased has no signs of injury on his body, so he died in the water for no reason, and was soaked for more than a day or two, which is a little strange?
According to the policeman named Cheng Ran, the deceased Chen Guangquan was a wealthy local businessman, 43 years old, who was alive and did aquatic purposes, and this artificial lake was contracted by him for breeding and tourism development, and he himself was a fishing and swimming enthusiast, who disappeared about a week ago, and the forensic doctor also verified that the deceased had died for more than six days, that is, this unlucky man had been soaking in this lake for at least six days!
"No trauma...... Dead in the water...... There was no sign of struggle on his body, and his soul was nowhere to be found...... Could it be that the ghost did it? ”
Mu Qingyang's mind suddenly appeared such a record: "The ghost, the fish in the Yuzhang River, gather in the lake and pond, sometimes walk on land for a short time, good at illusion, like to pull people into the water, blinding the swimmer's vision and hearing, and taking the opportunity to absorb the yang energy of the soul to cultivate the origin......"
"Hmm...... You're reminding me...... Book Spirit ...... It's you, right? ”
As he silently called in his heart, a ghostly masked man slowly rubbed out. He held the book in his hand with a blood-colored chain cross, and the dragon, which had shrunk to the size of half a palm, bowed his head as if he was very embarrassed.
"Shuling, how did you become so virtuous, I remember...... You used to be quite arrogant! Why, now you are learning to be obedient? ”
"Master, don't make fun of me...... Right now, my mana has been greatly reduced, and this is what I was barely able to reveal in your sea of consciousness just now. "The face of the book spirit is still the strange mask that seems to be smiling but not smiling, but look at it carefully, the tone of the voice is resentful, and even the mantra of ahhhh
"Didn't Jizo already help me restore the Spirits? How...... Are you still like this? Mu Qingyang was a little strange, in his concept, the methods of the King of the Earth can be said to have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, and it should not be impossible to solve such a trivial matter.
"Of course, the ontology is safe, but the world of the dragon has completely collapsed, and I, the founder, will naturally be greatly affected...... Let's be honest. I wasn't completely wiped out, and I was pretty lucky. The book spirit slumped his shoulders and made a helpless gesture to come out.
"You passed on the hint from that ghost just now, right?" Mu Qingyang remembered the message like a text message just now.
"It's me...... There's nothing I can do to help you now, so I can only provide some information. Shu Ling actually felt a little ashamed, and lowered his head and rubbed his feet hard.
"Whoever said that, that's already good! That's right...... Does this guy mean something similar to the water ghost catching a stand-in? Or ......"
"Two different things...... Oni are evil spirits. It has always liked to replenish fresh souls and use corpses to multiply, and it has been starving in hell for so many years...... I guess it's going to start one after another! ”
"What? What do you mean...... Is this the guy who ran out of hell? Mu Qingyang was taken aback by Shu Ling's judgment, and Mu Ran's original expression also changed.
"Hey! What are you trying to do...... Don't forget, you're a detainee being questioned...... Feed! You ......"
Cheng Ran was stunned and watched Mu Qingyang pull off the shackles on his hand, and when he got back together, even the steel seat on the ground was overturned!
"I need to make a call!"
……
……
Cheng Ran can now be said to be a typical example of being angry, he didn't expect that he was just an extrajudicial benevolent. Agreeing to this person's call, it immediately set off such an uproar!
Just twenty minutes...... No! In less than twenty minutes, the entire office building was immediately surrounded by a team of special forces, and the last thing that appeared was actually a heavily armed helicopter parked in mid-air, and these were only because this strange man was here. I don't know what his identity is, even the director of the city bureau who arrived in a hurry nodded to him, and was scolded by the yellow hair who was hanging on the side. Not only that, but Cheng Ran himself was also seconded indefinitely. The most embarrassing thing is that he is actually an assistant. Dedicated to being a local guide and driving for this master, the reason is because he looks so easy on his eyes!
"Why, do you still feel reluctant? There's no need to put on this face to show me...... Do you know that you are now a full-fledged official at the level of deputy director of national security, and it can be said that it is a blessing in disguise......
After sending off Hidden Dragon and the team, Mu Qingyang returned to his temporary office and saw that there were still a few packs of cigarettes left on the table. He easily dismantled two and handed them to Cheng Ran. He felt that this big man who was about the same age as himself was very interesting, others wanted to be promoted and raised when they broke their heads, but he was promoted three levels in a row but still had a stinky face, and he still ignored his direct superior.
"You know what? This is called self-esteem and self-improvement. I'm not that obsessed with officials, and being able to do my own criminal investigation work in a down-to-earth manner already makes me feel very satisfied...... Your words ruined my hard work in the past five years...... Damn it! Cheng Ran gulped the cigarette holder, venting the resentment in his heart, but he didn't beware of being burned by the cigarette butt handle, and instantly couldn't contain his temper, and immediately threw away the cigarette butt and crushed it twice with his foot.
"Don't worry! Follow me...... Your life will only be more colorful. Mu Qingyang looked at this Cheng Ran and was furious, and he didn't know why he felt very stable. He gently pushed open the window, letting the cold wind blow in from outside, and said with a smile.
The work on the first day was very simple, and Cheng Ran was called to the local national security bureau to go through the transfer procedures. The newly arranged position is that of an investigator of the first special service, with the rank of deputy director, and is specifically responsible for the work of assistant director Mu Qingyang. But at the same time, he was forced to sign a non-disclosure agreement of more than a dozen pages, and also carried out a fairly formal induction ceremony, followed by a series of documents and equipment collection. What surprised him very much was that Mu Qingyang, who was also a newly recruited boss, did not appear on the scene at all, and even his equipment and materials were received by Cheng Ran, and the bureau ignored it at all, as if all this was so taken for granted.
"Give! This is your equipment, your documents and the key to your office, the address is on the top floor of the cooperation building next to the garrison, and the security is also in charge of a special person. Cheng Ran angrily put all the items in front of Mu Qingyang.
He had been busy with these chores all day, and although he had tried to simplify the process as much as possible, he did not return to their temporary office here at the branch until about five o'clock in the afternoon.
"Have you solved your family problem?" Mu Qingyang looked at the black uniform in the suitcase, pursed his lips with some disdain, and threw it aside with his fingers, he only put the document into his outer pocket, and then looked at the pistol, body armor, tear gas and other things one by one and buckled them into the suitcase, pushed them in front of Cheng Ran and asked.
"What? Oh...... My parents are both in the countryside, and I'm not married...... There's nothing to worry about. Cheng Ran was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the other party was asking how the house was placed, and hurriedly replied.
"Thirty-year-olds, if you have time to solve it quickly, otherwise you will always let your parents worry about it."
"Not the right ...... Let's talk about it when we have a chance! Cheng Ran had an unnatural expression on his face, as if he had been poked in the sore spot.
"That...... Is our work dangerous? Cheng Ran suddenly raised his head and asked.
"What? I'm scared......" Mu Qingyang smiled and asked with interest.
"No, it's just a little nervous to see these things."
"Don't be intimidated by people's kindness, these are all routine configurations, and they are not very useful. If you don't feel at ease, you can bring a few things with you, and it's always better than nothing. Mu Qingyang didn't realize that his statement was even more terrifying, especially the last sentence.
Fortunately, Cheng Ran was the one with thick nerves, and his attention was completely attracted by all kinds of equipment, especially such as strong light grenades, electric shockers, steel cones with gauntlets, cinnabar powder, instant desiccant, and so on......
"What is this?"
He took out a packet of white powder from his suitcase and shook it, a little shiny.
"The salt dust from the origin of Qinghai Lake is a very good thing...... Looks like they're very thoughtful! Mu Qingyang was upside down, there was about four or five catties of a big bag, there was a special spraying equipment next to it, and a bottle of transparent glue.
"What's the use of that?"
"It is said to ward off evil spirits...... By the way, we will always encounter all kinds of evil things in our work, and you must be prepared...... This type of tool is always ready to be around! ”
"Don't tell me it's catching ghosts or something...... Cheng Ran pouted.
"Really...... Your brain is spinning fast! Mu Qingyang slapped his face twice and said approvingly.
"Open...... Are you kidding? Cheng Ran was stunned for a moment, looked at the messy things on the table, and suddenly felt a little headache......
