On the ruins behind them, the busy figures of the police could be vaguely seen, and the mountains of charred corpses could be vaguely seen.
After a day's work, the police gave up eating and resting, worked overtime, and turned almost the entire ruins upside down, and found eight or nine boxes of so-called "evidence" similar to rings, necklaces, and jade from various corpses.
The policemen had already lit torches, each with a torch, and the other policemen laboriously carried the red wooden boxes stacked under the nose of the chief to the truck with the help of the faint light of the fire.
Judging by the fact that four or five cops struggled to load a box onto a truck, the box should be very heavy. Of course, each wooden box contains things like gold, silver, treasures, pearls, agate, etc., and it is normal to have a little weight.
Seeing that the last box of belongings was about to be loaded onto the truck, the director felt that he had completed his work and his merits were complete, and he happily wandered around the truck, rubbing his hands and his face with joy, as if rippling in the wind.
Not sooner or later, just as the police station truck was about to start, two dazzling lights suddenly appeared not far away, and this light swayed up and down, left and right due to the bumpy road, and was heading towards the ruins.
To leave immediately, the police chief seemed to be a little reluctant, his face was still full of joy just now, but he became a lot more dignified, standing in front of the unrecognizable ruins, sighed for a long time, turned his head, and said to his deputy director: "What a glamorous place in the past, I didn't expect it to become what it is today, it's really miserable!"
"You feel a little sorry?" the deputy director was a little surprised.
"Overnight, a fire turned dust to dust and dust to dust. The police chief sighed.
"If you don't think we're looking carefully, we'll ship everything back here, including dust. "It's still the deputy director who understands the director's thoughts, and he knows that the director still feels a little incomplete in his heart.
"It's the best, but it's not good, it's not good, it's not good, it's going to be suspicious. We are here to collect evidence in the Zuxinju fire case, and to crack this vicious case, don't go too far, it's not good. The chief looked very elegant when he said this, not at all like the brutal and domineering police chief of the past.
The car with the glare lights stopped next to the truck full of treasures, and four young men in suits and leather shoes got out of the car first, and under the protection of the young man, another middle-aged man got out of the car.
Four young people surrounded the middle-aged man and walked towards the ruins, the policemen wanted to step forward to stop them, but two of the young men were knocked to the ground with three punches and two feet, the police chief heard the sound, grabbed a pistol, and tried to start the battle, but suddenly found that the person who came was none other than the mayor of the city.
The mayor instantly put away his anger, smiled all over his face, and repeatedly courted his junior police chief.
"I heard that you've turned it over here, do you have anything to gain?" asked the mayor.
"Yes, yes, yes, yes. The police chief is even more servile and very well-behaved.
The mayor then asked, "What are you going to do next?"
"If I went back to the mayor, it was supposed to be delivered to your house, but now that you are here in person, it will be even more convenient. ”
"You, you have a bright future. The mayor smiled at the bureau chief and said, "You have worked hard, and I thank you on behalf of the people of the city." I won't forget you, let's go back and discuss the matter of these evidences, everyone has a share. ”
The director and the mayor walked in the same car, talking and laughing, and there was a scene of harmony.
The truck loaded with "evidence" followed closely behind the mayor's car and headed for the mayor's official residence.
And the carriage that pulled Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu drove into the back street, these big men got out of the car, looked around sneakily for a moment, and then carried the sack containing Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu on their shoulders, and secretly ran into a small courtyard, the coachman did not drive the carriage into this small courtyard, but continued to walk along the street.
In the silence of the night, the sound of the horse's hooves was glorious and melancholy.
The moment the sack containing Qiao Xiaojing and Jade entered the courtyard, several people suddenly appeared in this small courtyard, two of them were big men holding wooden sticks and silently leaving the courtyard, and another person came out of the kitchen, also made no noise, and walked straight to the side house, pushed open the door of the side house and signaled that the sack containing Qiao Xiaojing and Jade was sent into the side house.
The strange thing is that since Qiao Xiaojing and the others were sent into the small courtyard, there has not been a single light in the entire courtyard, and the people here are smeared in and out; what is even more strange is that they can't be heard, not a word, and they seem to be all dumb.
The small courtyard is deserted, as if walking into another world, for no reason I feel that there is a constant cool air in my back, the air is filled with inexplicable coldness, even the debris piled up in the yard exudes a frightening silence, and the breeze is mixed with an indescribable smell, which makes people melancholy.
When Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu woke up, it was already dawn, and the dazzling sunlight splashed on the ground through the broken windows, irritating their eyes.
The two of them woke up almost at the same time, both shielding themselves from the sunlight with their hands, squinting their eyes and looking around the room where they were --- the walls were badly exposed, and the furnishings were extremely simple, except for the two beds, there were only two chairs and a table--- the chairs and tables had long been washed away and faded by time, and the room looked very simple.
Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu both felt a little pain in their arms, they didn't know what was going on, the only thing they could remember was that they were attacked at the entrance of the alley.
What surprised them was that they were lying comfortably on the bed, not only were they not bound, but they were also unsupervised, and the whole room seemed to be a separate space specially prepared for the two of them.
Puzzled, the two gently opened the door, and the old door made a screeching sound.
"Wash up, let's eat!" came a man's voice from the kitchen, which was calm and familiar.
Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu looked at each other for a moment, and walked into the kitchen timidly.
The kitchen was a little dim, and there was only one person in the room, the man who spoke, and he was busy on the stove.
"May I ask who you are? Why are we here? What is this place?" Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu stood at the kitchen door, expressing their questions in unison.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Wash up and eat!" the man said calmly.
Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu washed up briefly, and then sat down timidly at the dining table.
There were two bowls of steaming noodles on the dining table, this was the first time Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu had eaten since they came out of the drunken house, the two of them didn't have any worries, they didn't have time to take care of the hot mouth, and gobbled up the noodles and soup in one gulp.
When the man saw Qiao Xiaojing and the others finished eating, they each brought them another bowl, at first glance, they were startled by the man in front of them, the bowl in Qiao Xiaojing's hand fell to the ground and shattered, Cuiyu was calm, the bowl was almost out of her hand, half a bowl of noodles spilled on the table, and the soup flowed down the table, along the corner of the table to the ground, making a noise.
"Are you a human or a ghost?" Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu asked in unison.
The man was of medium stature, slightly fat, and the left side of his face seemed to have acne, pimples, and if he was not careful, he would think that snake skin had grown on his face, and the right side of his face seemed to have been cut with a knife, and the flesh had been removed, and only white bones remained, and the white bones were covered with a thin and translucent skin.
Because of his hideous face, it makes people's hearts tremble.
"I forgot what I looked like, and I scared the two girls. The man hurriedly explained, "Although I am ugly, I am definitely a good person, so please reassure the two girls." ”
"Why are we here? What is this place? What are you doing here with us?" Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu both turned pale and their lips were blue, even after hearing this man's explanation, they still had palpitations, and they couldn't help but shiver from time to time.
"Please rest assured, I am definitely not a bad person, and I will never do anything to hurt the two girls. The man brought them noodles again, put them in front of them, and sat down as well.
"I'm wondering, why did the two of you blatantly appear in public?Since the drunken house has turned to ashes, why don't you hurry up and get out of here?" This guy seemed to have crawled out of a grave, constantly looking at Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu, his eyes were full of doubts.
"We don't know what you're talking about, and we don't know what I'm talking about. Cuiyu rushed in front of Qiao Xiaojing and answered this guy's question in a prevaricating way.
Qiao Xiaojing first glanced at Cuiyu, and then nodded again and again and said "yes".
Many times, people will be like this--- when faced with things they don't want to mention or dare not mention, they will instinctively choose to escape, but the way to escape is very simple, either rush to cover up and make a look of ignorance, or stupidly go around a meaningless circle to clear themselves.
Ironically, such explanations are often so flawed that even they cannot be convinced.
"It's the same person who has fallen to the end of the world, why do you want to pretend to be here and deceive me?" This ugly and terrifying creature actually began to cry, and the more he cried, the more sad he became, and the more he cried, the more sad he became.
Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu were dumbfounded, not knowing what to do.
"Why are you crying, what do you mean?" Qiao Xiaojing and Cuiyu hurriedly asked.
"I have the same pain as you, so why hide it from me? I'm not a bad person, and I can't be a bad person, and you can rest assured if you look at my situation. If the two girls are really not at ease, it doesn't matter, the girls can leave at any time, and they will never force it. ”
"We were going to leave, and we wanted to leave at the first time, but we were worried that if we were caught in the process of escaping, we would be punished more painfully; even if we weren't caught, we were always afraid of being caught and were scared, so we wanted to confirm whether the fire was ...... or not" Qiao Xiaojing choked up.
"Did the fire burn that demon to death, right?" the man added Qiao Xiaojing's words.
Jade stood up and asked in horror, "You, who are you?" I always felt that your voice was familiar, as if I had heard it somewhere. ”
"Of course you are familiar with my voice, I am Fugen, the old butler Fugen!"
