Suddenly, the lights in the office flashed and went out, and a ray of dawn sunlight shone down from the window, and Director Mao realized how comfortable his eyes were after opening all night, and the warm smell shone on his face, and the tiredness hit him instantly.

is old, staying up late is tantamount to suicide, Director Mao plans to wash his face and make himself sober. When I opened the office door, the hallway was dark and strangely silent.

When he came to the water room, Director Mao put the basin down, and the rushing tap water flowed down uncontrollably with the cold air, splashing a lot of water droplets.

I don't know why, it's very cold today, and several inexplicable cold winds swirl in the water room, spinning small air masses. Director Mao glanced at it a few times and felt a trace of fear, this was the first time he had such a strange feeling, as a people's policeman, he shouldn't be afraid of anything, but at the moment, he was sweating white.

The circuit at the police station is newly connected, but there is a short circuit every two months, the last time in the afternoon, this time in the early morning. Every time at this time, Officer Xu will take the initiative to take the tools to the meter room to repair, as long as it takes about ten minutes, the electricity will come.

Director Mao subconsciously called "Xiao Xu" to the corridor outside the water room, but no one responded.

"What time is it, who is on duty today, oh, by the way, it's not Xiao Xu on duty today, look at my brain, Xiao Wang, Xiao Wang......" Director Mao finished shouting, put the towel on his shoulder, turned off the faucet, and lowered his head to dip into the water in the basin.

This is the habit of Director Mao, when he was in the army, every time he held his breath in a competition with his comrades, he could win. Immersion in water, especially in winter, can make your mind clear instantly, and your thinking will increase several times faster.

Time seems to be getting very slow in this space, Director Mao thought that his shouting just now should be heard, why no one responded after a long time, could it be that Xiao Wang on duty on the night shift went out, impossible, he would say hello to me, forget it. Let's see for yourself.

Director Mao raised his head. The eyelashes covered with water beads blurred his vision, but he clearly saw two wet handprints on the concrete wall in front of him.

"Ahh Who is it, who is it? Director Mao took two steps back and pulled out his gun from his waist. Look at every dark corner of the water room.

"Come out. This is the police station. It doesn't matter if you are a human or a ghost, the people's police will not be afraid of you, come out quickly! Director Mao shouted several times in a row. It was like talking to the air, leaving only the sound of his own gasp swirling in his ears.

Director Mao imagined what he would encounter, whether it was a person or a ghost, and he was stupid by his words before he saw anything, why did he say these words, could it be that a series of events began to change his worldview, or that there were really ghosts in the water room?

I still remember when I first joined the army, Director Mao heard the veterans in the army talk about the location of the garrison was originally an ancient town, and later renovated into a military camp, the former homeless people fled here due to famine and war, because there was no food, thousands of people died here, and there were no living people to bury the corpses, so the land was full of bones, and if you were lucky, you could still leave a whole corpse, and if you were unlucky, you didn't know how many wild dogs and wild cats melted by the gastric juice. Therefore, the ghosts have always remained on this land, except for the troops who will be stationed and stay, and the common people who pass by will never dare to stay overnight. The veterans in the army are afraid that the recruits will be afraid of accidents, and they will dictate some taboos to the recruits, such as not looking up at the western sky, not going out of the barracks in the middle of the night, and having to walk with more than two people when patrolling, etc., there are more than 10 of them, which are circulated year after year.

Director Mao disagreed, but he was not a curious person, there was no need to prove the truth of the taboo one by one, decades had passed, if it weren't for the experience of handling cases, he would never have believed that there were indeed some mysterious things in this world.

Thinking of these past events, his legs began to disobey the call, and the fierce struggle of thoughts urged him to retreat in the direction of the door of the water house, out of sight, until the moment when the head of the gun was only an inch out of the door, the back of his head was struck violently without warning, the accident came too suddenly, and before he fell, he saw in a trance with the last of his consciousness a tall man pointing at him, as if he was still talking about something.

In addition to black, it's still black.

I don't know how long later, the severe pain made Mao Chang regain consciousness, he lay flat on the ground, he could still feel the back of his head was broken, the blood had clotted, his hands and feet could move, but his eyes still couldn't open, only the sound of other people's breathing was heard in his ears.

The smell is familiar, and it should still be at the police station.

He wanted to speak, but he couldn't speak the whole sentence, and he couldn't get the response he wanted.

Gradually, he passed out again......

"Director, Director......"

"Wake up, wake up......"

Director Mao opened his eyes slightly, and immediately closed them. Above him was an incandescent lamp, a dim yellow light that was not bright in normal times, but now, especially in a dark environment, where he didn't know how long he had passed out, it was particularly dazzling.

Director Mao immediately knew where he was, this was the file room of the police station, but why was he here?

Director Mao eased his spirits, half-opened his eyes, and asked, "Ahem...... Xiao Xu, Xiao Wang, what's going on, how are we here, oops, my head ......"

Officer Xu replied, "Director, someone locked us up here. ”

"Do you see who it is?"

Both Xu and Wang shook their heads.

"How long have I been unconscious?"

Officer Xu and Officer Wang still shook their heads.

Officer Xu added: "We were also knocked unconscious, we woke up a quarter of an hour earlier than you, that person was very smart, sneaked up on the back of the person's head in the back, caught us off guard, and we were all hit in the same position by him." ”

Director Mao was helped to a chair by the two of them, rested for a while, touched his body, and the pistol was gone, and he knew that it was the person who took it without asking.

"Have you tried to get out?"

Officer Xu frowned and said, "The door was locked, I put the key in the drawer of my desk after taking the file as you instructed that day, and I forgot to hand it over to you, if only there was a backup." ”

"Key, that's right." Director Mao suddenly came to his senses, put his right foot on his left leg, and took off his shoes.

A key dropped on the leg of the chair.

"I've always hidden the key to the dossier room in my shoes, just in case, and this time it came in handy."

Officer Xu and Officer Wang covered their noses at the same time.

Officer Xu said: "No wonder I always smell a strange smell, it turns out to be the smell of your sweaty feet, it's really yours, director." ”

"Less nonsense, let's go, let's go open the door." Director Mao clenched this life-saving straw.

The three of them came to the door, found the keyhole, inserted the key inside, and the door opened. (To be continued......)
