Chapter Twenty-Three: The Devil Doesn't Sleep

"Chuan'er, are you back?"

Wu Fatzi was racking his brains to popularize the harm of Qin Tao's online gambling fraud, and finally, Liang Chuan came back, which was equivalent to relieving him.

"I went to buy a batch of goods. ”

Liang Chuan was carrying a large cloth bag in his hand, which contained a batch of new shrouds, the design styles were all modified by Liang Chuan himself, and handed over to the grandmothers who lived in suburban villages to make them.

"Looks like business is doing well. Wu Dahai was a little jealous and said, "Isn't there a big business opportunity here?"

"Want to change careers?" Liang Chuan asked rhetorically.

"Just ask, be curious. ”

Wu Dahai smashed his mouth, in fact, he also saw that he could see a batch of goods in Liang Chuan's store every few days, and other things were not obvious, after all, the difference between gold ingots and banknotes was not bad, but Liang Chuan's wreaths, flower baskets and shrouds were selling fast.

Fuck, selling clothes from the dead is more in demand than clothes from the living?

"It's okay, life can go on. Liang Chuan himself didn't calculate how much income he had every month, but it was more than enough to satisfy his life.

"Consultant Liang, I don't know why, I feel so much better after taking a nap with you. Qin Tao smiled a little embarrassedly, her complexion had indeed recovered.

"Do you want to go back to that dormitory tonight?" Liang Chuan asked.

Qin Tao was stunned for a moment, bit his lip, and said, "Let's change places." ”

Wu Dahai didn't say anything, in this regard, he didn't force it.

For dinner, everyone ate the cooked dishes that Wu Dahai bought, Qin Tao had a good appetite and ate a lot, Wu Dahai and Liang Chuan drank a cup, and when it got dark, Wu Dahai planned to send Qin Tao back, which was considered to approve her for a few days of vacation, let her rest first.

As one of the few female criminal police officers in the criminal police team, it is also appropriate to enjoy some preferential treatment.

When leaving, Wu Dahai took a few stacks of dark money from Liang Chuan's side, of course, he didn't give money.

When Liang Chuan was about to close the door, Cinnabar walked in with a pot of boiling water and two cups.

"Brother Chuan, I promised my sister to drink tea tonight, forgot?"

"Hmm. Liang Chuan seemed very sincere.

Cinnabar shook his head and secretly sighed whether Liang Chuan did it on purpose.

However, she still walked to the counter and brewed two cups of tea, without too many techniques, no expensive tea sets, and no bells and whistles, which seemed very simple.

Tea, in fact, is still tea, as long as the tea is good enough, the taste of brewing out is always good, ordinary people drink tea, where do they have the effort to do so many twists and turns.

Liang Chuan took the teacup and took a sip, just to relieve the residual wine in his mouth.

"Drunk?" Cinnabar asked.

"Hmm. Liang Chuan nodded.

"Brother Chuan, do you dislike me?" Cinnabar deliberately approached Liang Chuan, "After you know that my ancestor drove corpses, you want to deliberately keep your distance from me?"

"I've seen more extreme things, too. Liang Chuan explained.

"Is that I'm not pretty enough?" Cinnabar walked to the mirror of the shop and took a look, which is usually taken by old men and old ladies when they come to buy shrouds.

"It's okay, it's pretty good. Liang Chuan replied.

Cinnabar laughed angrily, she finally understood that Liang Chuan didn't have the kind of mind to have a little story under the moon, which made her feel a little boring, but she also felt a kind of comfort.

"Business here is not very good, and the money I make in a day is not enough for my tea. ”

Cinnabar gestured to the teacup in his hand.

"The first day we opened, there were more repeat customers. Liang Chuan can only mourn in his heart for those repeat customers, of course, this is like people smoking, "smoking is harmful to health" are printed on the cigarette box, but everyone should buy it.

"Brother Chuan, what did you do before?"

Cinnabar sat down in her chair again, grabbed a handful of peanuts from her pocket and placed them on the counter.

Her movements are very similar to those of an elderly woman in the countryside who has nothing to do all day long, her movements are skillful and natural, full of local flavor.

But it feels intimate.

"Study psychology. Liang Chuan replied.

"Psychology?" Cinnabar shrugged, "It sounds quite high-end, then it should be a psychological counseling room, how can you open this?" To be honest, when I first chose a store, I saw that there was a dark shop next door, and I felt very kind, and when I was a child, my family also opened this store. ”

The corpse chaser and the underworld are always inextricably linked, after all, everyone eats the dead man's meal.

"If you study too much, you will have psychological problems, and you can't help others, so take care of yourself first. Liang Chuan replied.

That's an interesting answer. Cinnabar turned his head sideways, saw a book under Liang Chuan's counter, glanced at it, and said:

"From me into the city of distress,

From me into the abyss of hell,

From me into the Spectres,

Justice touched my Creator. ”

Liang Chuan was slightly surprised, because this was the character engraved on the gate of hell described in Dante's "Divine Comedy", and Cinnabar glanced at his own book and was able to recite this paragraph.

"You like to read this too?" Cinnabar gestured to the Italian version of the Divine Comedy.

"Flip it over when you don't have anything to do. ”

"It's just a poet's delusion, and I used to think about what kind of world hell is, because when I was a child, there were a lot of coffins and dead people at home, and when I saw more, I naturally thought about it more. ”

"I'm about the same as you. ”

At this time, Liang Chuan's mobile phone rang, it was Wu Dahai's phone.

Liang Chuan answered the phone, and Wu Dahai's voice immediately came from the other end of the phone:

"Chuan'er, I saw him, Zhou Fei, I saw him!"

Liang Chuan's eyes were slightly condensed, and he asked, "Have you gone to the dormitory building?"

"I saw him, I really saw him, Xiao Tao was right, he was still here, he was really still here............"

Wu Dahai's phone hung up,

Liang Chuan tried to dial back and found that the other end had been turned off.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" asked Cinnabar, blowing on the tea leaves.

"A little. Liang Chuan nodded, he didn't expect that Wu Dahai, who had always been very timid, would really dare to go back to that dormitory building alone, he had verified it in Qin Tao's memory screen, Qin Tao was not dazzled.

But Liang Chuan didn't have the intention to get to the bottom of it.

"Do you want to use a car, I'll send you?" Cinnabar tilted his head, "Recently, Rongcheng has cracked down on online car-hailing, and it's not very convenient to call a car." ”

What Cinnabar didn't know was that Liang Chuan's mobile phone couldn't install taxi software at all.

"Good. Liang Chuan was not polite, instead of waiting for a taxi outside at this time, it was better to let Cinnabar send him there.

Cinnabar went to pick up her own car, an Audi, and it can be seen that this woman really spends as much money as she wants, but yes, the craftsman does have the confidence of a craftsman.

Liang Chuan got into the car, and Cinnabar asked, "Where to go?"

"The police station in the district. ”

"Good. Cinnabar started the car, and after getting on the road, Cinnabar looked at Liang Chuan who was sitting behind him through the rearview mirror, and said: "The guest you introduced to me during the day, it's not a big problem, it's just a mistake, but it's also quite interesting, it's the first time I've seen a wax statue." ”

"You have the best way to fix it. ”

"Hmm. Cinnabar yawned, "You know the people at the police station very well, and I saw a police car parked in front of your door in the afternoon." ”

"I work as a consultant in the police department. ”

"Oh, cool. Cinnabar pursed her lips.

Soon, the car drove to the police station, and then turned behind the old dormitory building.

There are actually a lot of people in the dormitory, and you can still see people coming in and out.

Liang Chuan remembered that Qin Tao should live on the third floor, which means that Wu Dahai should also be on the third floor.

It's just that when Liang Chuan came to the toilet on the third floor, he found that it was empty.

"This is the women's bathroom. ”

Cinnabar, who came with her, pointed to the sign at the door.

Liang Chuan didn't pay attention to it, but checked all the squatting pits and grooves again, and made sure that Wu Fatzi was not forced into it before he walked out.

"I said Brother Chuan, sister, I don't understand it here, it's a big night, you just came over to a women's toilet to satisfy your curiosity?"

Cinnabar hands propped up on the edge of the railing, as if smiling.

Liang Chuan went up one floor again, the upper and lower floors of the women's public toilet are the men's public toilets, and when he walked into the men's toilet on the upper floor, Liang Chuan saw a figure lying next to the urinal trough.

That huge body looked like Wu Dahai.

Wu Dahai's mobile phone fell into the water of the urinal trough, and he himself was lying on the side and sleeping, with two cans of beer beside him, as well as a stack of unburned banknotes.

Cinnabar also walked over, and when she was about to walk into the men's toilet, Liang Chuan said:

"This is the men's bathroom. ”

"Huh?" Cinnabar smiled, showing a kind of uninhibited ease, "Your friend can too, running to the toilet and drinking at night and getting drunk." ”

Cinnabar came over and reached out to help Liang Chuan pull Wu Dahai's clothes on the clean side.

"He's not drunk. Liang Chuan shook his head, "He drinks a lot of wine, and he is not greedy for glasses, he drank a little bit with me in my store when he came out, and these two cans of beer, I didn't drink much, they were used for sacrifice." ”

"Then why did you lie down here?" asked Cinnabar, a little curious.

"I was overturned. ”

Liang Chuan clapped his hands,

He had found the target, but that target was not the old friend he had taken for granted. By the way, are you holding your breath?" asked Cinnabar.

Cinnabar's face changed, and he pointed at Liang Chuan and said, "Why didn't you remind me in advance!"

"I warn you. Liang Chuan reiterated.

"You ............" Cinnabar felt a dizziness in her brain, and her consciousness began to gradually fog, "You didn't remind me, damn it............"

"I said, this is the men's bathroom, you shouldn't come in. ”

“............”

Cinnabar wanted to scold back, but his feet were crooked and he fell straight down.

Liang Chuan stepped forward and stretched out his hand to hold the cinnabar,

Wu Dahai is okay anyway, just continue to soak in the urinal there, if a woman really falls into the urinal of the men's toilet, it may leave a psychological shadow for a lifetime.

At this moment, a figure slowly crawled out of the groove of the squatting pit in the men's toilet.

This is an adult body,

But he can hide in the narrow urine groove, without a trace,

His movements are also silent,

He had already come out when Cinnabar was unconscious, and when Liang Chuan was holding Cinnabar,

The dark shadow crept in,

came behind Liang Chuan,

meantime

In a deep and hoarse voice, he spoke slowly:

"I heard your breathing, and you didn't hold your breath. ”

"I used to try many, many drugs and tried all kinds of methods to be able to sleep myself;

But it wasn't until later that I discovered a fact............"

Liang Chuan replied calmly, then slowly turned around, and gradually faced the black shadow behind him,

meanwhile

The blood in Liang Chuan's eyes began to gradually diffuse,

"That is,

devil

No drowsiness. ”
