Even after so many years, in prison, Zhou Mingsheng, who has served several years in prison, is still so frightened that his muscles tense when he recalls what happened at that time.

That incident obviously left a deep psychological shadow on him.

Lu Ming pondered in his heart, and He Wei said: "You specialize in watching things for people, and you are afraid of things yourself?" ”

The irony of this question is strong. Zhou Mingsheng seemed to cry and laugh: "Officer, I'm a fraudster, looking at things in feng shui or something, it's just a shell, a disguise." Where will I look? Can I not be scared when this happens? ”

"What other strange things did you find on Nanlin Street?"

"Nothing else."

Zhou Mingsheng shook his head: "I didn't dare to tell anyone about this." The next day, I took a casual look, came up with a random way to put a gossip mirror and left directly. I didn't dare to take more money when they gave me, for fear of getting into trouble. ”

From Zhou Mingsheng, it is obvious that there is no more to ask. This inquiry is nothing more than a little more certain.

There is indeed a quirk in Nanlin Street. This oddity can lead to unjustified suicide in humans. Exactly what the source of this strange origin is, it is not known at this time.

Moreover, this eccentricity did not have any impact on the local residents of Nanlin Street, but manifested itself in those consumers who came to Nanlin Street for leisure and entertainment.

Besides, does the method of placing the gossip mirror have any effect?

At present, there are three possibilities.

First, there is something strange about Nanlin Street, and this is strange for both locals and outsiders of Nanlin Street. It's just that Zhou Mingsheng's method of placing the gossip mirror happened to inhibit the effect of this weirdness on the local residents of Nanlin Street by chance, and it could only be manifested on outsiders.

Second, there is something strange about Nanlin Street, and this is strange for the locals and outsiders of Nanlin Street equally. In addition, the method of placing the gossip mirror proposed by Zhou Mingsheng was also ineffective at all, and there were other reasons why this strangeness could not be applied to the local residents of Nanlin Street.

Third, there is indeed a strangeness in Nanlin Street, but this strangeness treats the local residents of Nanlin Street differently from outsiders. It itself has no effect on the natives of Nanlin Street, only on outsiders.

As for Zhou Mingsheng's supernatural nature, he took the initiative to eliminate this strangeness by placing the gossip mirror, and this possibility has been completely ruled out.

Looking at the swindler in front of him, who was submissive, full of humility, and looked very well reformed, no one believed him if he had any special abilities.

So, which of the above three possibilities is true? In which direction should your next investigation go?

After the interrogation, Lu Ming, who returned to the hotel to rest, fell into deep thought.

The night was still sleepless.

The next day, the trio returned to Blue Lake City. All the way to the conference room, the discussion began again.

Lu Qingliang's figure also appeared on the screen.

After a brief report on yesterday's situation, Lu Qingliang was full of disappointment: "Just a liar?" Hey, I thought I could get some clues from him. ”

"Don't think about it." He Wei shook her head: "I feel that the line of the Zhoujia archway can be put down temporarily." ”

From the custom of placing gossip mirrors to the archway of the Zhou family, Wu Biao's suicide was found, and Zhou Mingsheng was found, but Zhou Mingsheng was just a fraudster. The line looks worthless.

Lu Ming said: "It's not necessary to put it down. Doubt it for now. But it doesn't look like we can know more from here. ”

"What's next?"

All four were silent.

Lu Ming racked his brains and thought hard.

The familiar, "I don't know where to start, I don't know where to start" feeling once again descended on the conference room, enveloping the four of them.

In the end, Zhang Dingshan spoke: "Let's dismiss the meeting first." Don't be in a hurry, this kind of thing, don't be in a hurry. ”

He Wei put away the documents in front of her a little listlessly, grabbed her hair, sighed resignedly, and said: "I heard that the mushroom hot pot here in Blue Lake City is quite famous, try it?" Who goes? ”

Lu Ming was upset: "When is it, still eating mushrooms?" ”

He Wei said angrily: "If you can't check the eucalyptus, you don't have to do anything else?" No more eating, no more sleeping? Did it work? ”

Lu Ming kept his face calm and did not speak.

He Wei walked around the conference table, walked to Lu Ming's side, and patted him on the shoulder: "You're still tender." You can't be in a hurry to check this kind of thing, the more anxious it is, the more useless it is, but it is easy to drag yourself down. Besides, people can't always be tense, a relaxation and relaxation are the king. Eat delicious food, stroll around the scenery, take a break, and inspiration may come. ”

Lu Ming finally said: "I feel that the eucalyptus has not been checked yet, and it is still working, so I put my mind on enjoyment, which is not appropriate." ”

"There's a word called ineffective overtime, have you ever heard of it? It's like your masochism can bring out your inspiration. Love to go or not, whatever you want. ”

Lu Ming's face was a little unbearable: "Who is masochistic?" Eucalyptus can't be considered masochistic...... Check the eucalyptus! The matter of the action team, can it be considered masochism? ”

He Wei looked at him with a smile. In the end, it was Lu Ming himself who lost his temper: "But what you said also makes sense." Okay, let's try it. ”

He Wei looked at Zhang Dingshan again: "Are you going?" ”

Zhang Dingshan's expression was calm, and he only spit out one word: "Go." ”

"Okay, I'll ask where the most authentic is."

As I left the conference room and walked out of the first floor, there was a sudden commotion in front of me, mixed with some crying.

Lu Ming turned the corner and saw two gray-haired old men kneeling on the ground. Several security officers next to him supported him hard, and he barely helped the old man up. In front of the two old men, Feng Guozhu was sweating profusely comforting.

The three of them stopped unconsciously, and heard the old woman crying: "Juan'er didn't commit suicide, Juan'er won't commit suicide, you can't end up with suicide, you have to find the murderer, you have to kill the murderer to avenge Juan'er...... Woo woo woo, we're Juan'er, my hard-working child......"

"Uncle, aunt, I understand your feelings, but I have also shown you the evidence and everything, Gu Juan is indeed a suicide, there is indeed no trace of his murder, are you asking me to turn you into a murderer out of thin air?"

"You talk nonsense, you talk nonsense! It's impossible for Juan'er to commit suicide, you must know something, woo woo, you also sent someone to find out what happened to Juan'er before her death, if Juan'er committed suicide, can you check so many things? What do you know, officer, I knelt down for you, don't hide it from my wife, I beg you, how did Juan'er die? ……”

Feng Guozhu said: "That's just a routine investigation, we want to confirm the reason for Gu Juan's suicide, not because there is something to hide from you." Harm, what can I hide from you, you misunderstood, there is no murderer, it is really a suicide ......"

The old man among the two old men scolded excitedly: "You are all in a group! You're in a mess! You're all in it! You are shielding the murderer! We don't have children, and it's not interesting to live anymore, I'm on a par with you, I'm going to sue you! As long as you don't die, I'll keep suing you! ”

After a long time of appeasement, a group of security guards finally invited the two old men to the reception room. Feng Guozhu came out sweating profusely, almost exhausted.

Seeing Zhang Dingshan and the others, Feng Guozhu smiled a little ashamedly: "The family of the deceased." ”

Lu Ming said: "Their daughter is dead? ”

"Yes."

Feng Guozhu sighed with emotion: "The old couple has been pampered since childhood. The deceased was also angry, filial and sensible, with good grades, just graduated and found a job for less than two years, just said that he would take the old couple to live together, and suddenly committed suicide. You say this, hey...... It's no wonder that the old couple can't accept it. ”

Lu Ming knew that it must have been his own large-scale investigation some time ago that caused the old couple who were already suspicious of their daughter's suicide to have greater doubts, so they thought that their daughter's death had another hidden secret, so they would come to the Public Security Bureau to make trouble.

Feng Guozhu also knew some of the grievances, and knew that the suicides of the deceased were not normal. But of course he couldn't get these things out there.

Lu Ming also sighed.

Feng Guozhu said slowly: "I have been checking this eucalyptus for ten years, and I have found nothing until now. Well, now that you're finally here, there's hope for the eucalyptus......"

His eyes seemed to be a little moist: "Over the years, I always think of those dead who committed suicide without knowing it. Especially Xiao Zeng, hey, I dreamed of him a few days ago, he told me that he died unjustly, let me, who is a master, find the murderer, so that he can rest in peace. I, I ......"

Feng Guozhu smiled reluctantly: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm out of shape." You're busy, you're busy. ”

He confessed and walked away quickly.

He Wei snorted: "This is a clever way to put pressure on us. ”

Lu Ming also felt it.

Feng Guozhu has said so much, but his central idea is only this one.

The progress of your own investigation is highly confidential. Feng Guozhu knew some peripheral information, but he didn't know the core information. He couldn't ask himself, so he had to knock on the side in this way.

However, although he was aware of this, Lu Ming did not have the slightest antipathy towards Feng Guozhu in his heart.

Breaking the eucalyptus is also your own wish......

Lu Ming muttered: "This old Feng, his sense of smell is really keen. He must have sensed that we were not doing well. ”

Zhang Dingshan said calmly: "Eucalyptus that grassroots security officers can't handle can be handed over to their superiors. We can't do eucalyptus, and there is no one behind us to take over. ”

It's a responsibility, but it's also a pressure.

Lu Ming once again felt heavy in his heart.

He Wei said: "Why are you talking about this. Walked away and ate hot pot. ”

He Wei drove the car, pulled the two of them, and walked all the way to the outskirts of Blue Lake City.

Lu Ming sat in the co-pilot, looking out the window in a daze. He kept watching, but after looking at it for a long time, he didn't even look at anything in his eyes.

His mind had already flown to somewhere.

Nanlin Street, Bagua Mirror, Zhoujia Archway, Throwing Corpses, Unjustly Killed Woman, Wu Biao, Dog, Goose, Cat, Zhou Mingsheng......

These elements are constantly circling and colliding in his mind.

He Wei drove for more than an hour. It wasn't until the car stopped and He Wei called him that Lu Ming came back to his senses.

"Arrived? Where is this......"

After getting out of the car, what appeared in front of Lu Ming was no longer the prosperity of Blue Lake City, but the rugged mountain roads in the mountains, as well as the low-rise houses, and the rolling mountains and rivers.

In front of a bungalow, there is a yellow-haired old dog lying there comfortably at the door, occasionally people come, the old dog just glances casually, and then closes his eyes again and naps.

There were tables inside, and the fan on the roof was spinning weakly. It looked greasy and messy inside.

"I've asked people and they all say it's the most authentic place. Don't look at the environment, just eat good. Walked away. ”

He Wei took the lead and walked in with the three of them.

I asked for a private room, ordered food, and had to wait for a while to eat. Lu Ming felt that the air inside was not good, so he walked out by himself, stood at the door, and looked at the scenery in the distance.

At this time, the restaurant owner wearing an apron and full of fat came out with a bowl. Some of the diners seemed to be watching the excitement and walked out after the owner.

"Rhubarb! It's work! ”

The fat boss shouted, and poured the brown soup in the bowl directly into the iron basin in front of the yellow old dog.

The old yellow dog opened his eyes lazily, stood up slowly, walked in all directions to the iron basin, and sniffed carefully.

The diners and the boss all watched intently, and no one made a sound.

Lu Ming couldn't help but be curious.

The old dog sniffed it, and at last stuck out his tongue and drank the soup slowly. The diners suddenly relaxed and began to talk.

"Lao Wu's eyesight, can there be anything wrong?"

"Look, I'll just say it, it's going to be fine."

"Old Wu Jiahuang, that's absolutely no problem."

The old dog finished the soup and continued to slowly return to his original position and lie down. Diners are still amazed.

"This dog can be sold for a lot of money."

"Last year, the owner of the city's big hotel wanted to buy it, and the price was 30,000 yuan, but Lao Wu didn't sell it."

"Tut, I won't sell it if I change it."

Lu Ming finally couldn't help but be curious, and asked forward, "What's wrong with this dog?" What does it drink? ”

One diner laughed, "First time here? The mushroom soup that rhubarb drinks, this dog, has aura, if the mushroom soup is poisonous, it will never drink it, and if it is not poisonous, it will drink it. It's been a lot of years, and it's been a mistake. It's all thanks to rhubarb, and Lao Wu's store has not had a poisoning incident for so many years. The big guys can come here to eat with confidence. ”

Lu Ming was stunned.

Blue Lake City has a custom of eating mushrooms. The mushroom is delicious and has many fans, but it also has many types and many poisonous ones. If a person accidentally eats poisonous mushrooms, he will have hallucinations at least and be poisoned to death.

Every year in Blue Lake City, there are people who eat mushrooms and are poisoned.

This old dog named Rhubarb can tell whether it is poisonous or not, no wonder the owner of the restaurant regards it as a treasure.

"Tsk, this animal test is well done."

The diners sighed and marveled.
