"Hey, wife, I'm not going back tonight, there's still a lot of work to deal with."

"You can eat, I'll deal with it."

"Don't go out of your way, it's troublesome, okay, let's do it first."

At ten o'clock in the evening, Li Da's office was still brightly lit.

Li Da's office has a foldable single bed at all times.

Many times he couldn't go home because of his busy schedule, and he just spent a night in this office.

After hanging up his wife's phone, Li Da sat at his desk and flipped through a number of documents, which he needed to personally review and sign before he could start multiple projects in the main cities below.

He has been managing Yanjun for many years, and Li Da has been conscientious and meticulous over the years, but he has never been careless when it comes to work problems.

With a knock on the door, Zhou Xiangyin walked in with a document.

"County guard, are you going to live in the office again tonight?"

Li Da took the document and sighed with a smile:

"It's a normal thing, it's troublesome to toss back and forth, and every time I go home in the middle of the night, I still disturb the rest of their mothers."

Zhou Xiangyin nodded, then pulled over a chair and sat opposite Li Da:

"Okay, then it's still the old rule, eat instant noodles, I'll prepare it in a while."

As he spoke, Zhou Xiangyin pointed to the document in front of Li Da:

"This is the information I have collected about the polling bureau, which is very secretive, and it is not easy to find out about them.

What can be known at present is that this department is a direct department under the management of the military government, and it is set up in the Flowing Fire Avenue.

It's only been a few months since it was established, but despite the short time it has been established, the poll bureau has done a lot of work.

First, Longhua Road was rebuilt and renamed Liuhuo Avenue.

Subsequently, he participated in a number of criminal cases in Lin'an City.

However, the solved cases still belong to the Criminal Investigation Division, and the polling bureau does not seem to care about the so-called solving rate at all. ”

"It's kind of interesting......"

After Li Da glanced at the document hastily, he raised his head and said to Zhou Xiangyin:

"Lao Zhou, go back and rest early, it's almost eleven o'clock."

"Okay, then I'll send the instant noodles here and leave, and you can call me at any time if you have anything."

After a while, Zhou Xiangyin brought a bowl of instant noodles, then said goodbye to Li Da and left the county government.

Tomorrow at 11 o'clock in the evening, the county building is no longer empty.

The security guard made his usual rounds of the offices and made sure that all the doors and windows were closed, and he was going back to the downstairs security booth to start napping.

Everyone knows that Li Da is a workaholic who lives in the office at every turn, so he is used to it.

Li Da sat alone in the office and carefully checked the information of the polling bureau, as Zhou Xiangyin said, this information did not mention too much about the polling bureau, but it was enough to arouse Li Da's doubts.

The first is the Flowing Fire Avenue, which has been very lively on the Internet recently, and a large number of tourists have checked in and taken pictures in the Flowing Fire Avenue, but any post with the words Flowing Fire Avenue can always harvest a large wave of traffic in a short period of time.

But among the many news on the Internet, there has never been a tourist mentioning anything about the polling bureau.

It stands to reason that if there is a department set up in a place like Flowing Fire Avenue, there will definitely be some movement.

But Li Da looked on the Internet for a long time, but he didn't find a single news that a tourist had mentioned the polling bureau.

This alone is enough to confuse Li Da, and it is possible that this polling bureau is so low-key that it can even blind many tourists.

This is obviously a bit unreasonable.

The second is that many cases set up by the Public Opinion Investigation Bureau can be found on the Internet, but these notices are confusing for Li Da.

These cases have one thing in common, they are all a bit anticlimactic.

The case is often in an uproar, but in the end, it is basically closed.

In the notice of the case, it only indicated that the Criminal Division had solved the case, but there was no mention of the details of the case.

The more he looked at this report, the more confused Li Da felt in his heart, thinking that when he met this Feng director, he must have a good chat.

Li Da looked up at the clock hanging on the wall, it was now close to 12 o'clock, and after yawning tiredly, Li Da lay down on the folding bed hastily.

This bed was uncomfortable to lie on, but Li Da had long been used to it.

As the office lights went dark, Li Da soon fell asleep.

"Tick...... Tick ......"

In the quiet office, only the old-fashioned clock hanging on the wall is constantly making noise.

The sound of Li Da's steady breathing soon came, and he was obviously already asleep.

As the lights in the office went out, the whole building was also plunged into darkness, only the security booth on the first floor was still dimly lit, but the security guard on the night shift was already sitting in his chair and napping at this time.

"Zizi ......"

The sleeping security guard did not notice that a dark shadow suddenly appeared in the dark corridor in the surveillance display in front of him.

The corridors are all set up with sensor lights, which turn on when people come, and go out when people go, but this black shadow walks in the corridor without any lights.

Li Da, who was in a daze, faintly heard a faint cry.

At first, Li Da thought that he had misheard, so he turned over and did not react.

But after a while, he noticed that the cry seemed to be getting closer.

In the silence, the crying was so clear that it was even a little upsetting.

Li Da quickly opened his eyes, and with some doubts, he focused on his ears.

Sure enough, he soon heard sobs coming from the corridor outside, and it sounded very sad, and it was supposed to be a woman.

But how could there be a woman crying in the county hall in the middle of the night?

Puzzled, Li Da quickly got up and turned on the light in the office, but what he didn't expect was that the light was only on for a few seconds, and then went out again.

"Strange ......"

Li Da muttered to himself, then walked to the desk in the dark and made a phone call to the security booth.

His original intention was to let the security guard come up and take a look, but the phone rang for a long time, and no one answered.

Could it be that this security guard deserted?

These things happened to make Li Da a little upset, but fortunately he remembered that there was a flashlight in the drawer, so he quickly took it out.

Hastily draped in a piece of clothing, Li Da turned on the flashlight and opened the office door, and then shone towards the dark corridor.

There was no one in the hallway, but the crying voice seemed to be a little clearer.

Li Da tried to stomp his feet, but the sensor light in the corridor did not turn on, and only the faint light of the flashlight could barely see.

"Who? Who's over there? ”

Li Da raised his voice and shouted a few times, but there was no response, only a steady stream of sobs, which made Li Da feel very confused.

He tried to find the sound of crying, but after turning all the floors, Li Da did not find the crying person, so he quickly focused his attention on the stairs leading downstairs.

Irritated, Li Da quickly walked down the stairs to the downstairs, his office was on the eighth floor, which was also the highest floor in the county government.

When he came to the seventh floor, Li Da hadn't noticed anything strange at first, but as he walked, he suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

All the offices were closed at the moment, except for one office with the lights on, and Li Da glanced inside curiously when he passed by, but then he was stunned in place.

The simple office has only one set of desks and chairs, and next to the desk is a simple single bed.

The pillows and quilts on this single bed made Li Da feel a little familiar, and when he looked at him, he suddenly realized that this was not his office?

But he had just gone up the stairs from the 8th floor to the 7th floor, and he couldn't have walked back to his office anyway.

Li Da, who was stunned in place, immediately felt that something was not right, there seemed to be something missing in this room.

He looked around with some curiosity, but everything in the room was normal, and the inexplicable feeling just now seemed a little empty.

"It's weird......"

Li Da is a very staunch atheist, so when he encountered this situation, he didn't think about the matter of cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods, but he just felt that he was sleeping.

Confused, Li Da continued to walk along the corridor, not noticing the old-fashioned clock hanging on the wall, and the hands were all pointing at 12 o'clock at the moment.

His doubts were not groundless, the reason why he felt that something was missing was not that there was something missing in this room, but that the clock on the wall had stopped moving, and the ticking sound was gone.

came to the staircase again, and this time Li Da also deliberately looked at the floor number posted on the wall in front of the staircase.

A large number 8 comes into view in the faint glow of a flashlight.

Seeing this number, Li Da was more sure in his heart, it should be that he remembered it wrong, although he was a little vague in his heart, but he didn't think about it again.

The cry kept echoing in his ears, and Li Da was distraught when he heard it, so he quickened his pace and walked quickly downstairs.

When he first came downstairs, Li Da also took a flashlight to shine the floor number on the wall.

But this photo doesn't matter, Li Da was stunned for a moment.

I saw a big number on the white wall, and it was still the number 8.

Li Da's eyes widened, his eyes were full of doubts, he looked back at the stairs he had just walked down, but this was the highest floor, and there was no upward stairs, so where did he come down just now?

Even the most sluggish person can feel that something is not quite right at this moment, let alone Li Da, he quickened the pace of his feet and quickly ran downstairs.

Again and again, but every time he picked up a flashlight to illuminate the number on the wall, that number was always 8.

Li Da had never experienced such a thing, and a little panic appeared on his face at this moment.

What's going on? I'm heading to the 7th floor, but why do I end up on the 8th floor?

This doubt bothered Li Da, making Li Da a little confused about the situation in front of him.

He'd tried several times since just now, but each time he would go back to the 8th floor, as if a force had trapped him on this floor.

"Woo woo woo ......"

The sound of crying appeared in Li Da's ears again, which made Li Da's heart begin to be more flustered.

He quickened his pace and quickly ran back to his office, frantically calling the security room. But no one on the other end of the phone ever picked up.

Li Da sat on his office chair, he gasped, and subconsciously looked at the clock on the wall, only then did he realize that the clock had already stopped.

Just when Li Da's heart was in turmoil and he didn't know what was going on, the crying seemed to be closer to him.

At the moment, the flashlight in his hand seemed to have become Li Da's life-saving straw, he pinched it in his hand, and shone the light of the flashlight at the door, and even held his breath subconsciously.

At this moment, a figure appeared lightly outside Li Da's door.

It was a girl dressed in white, with long hair as black as ink in a shawl.

She kept her head down and sobbed, and the cry came from her mouth.

The woman walked into the room lightly, Li Da looked at this figure with some astonishment, only felt a roar in his head, and couldn't calm down at all.

However, when the woman walked into the fog, she quickly fell to her knees, and the temperature around her seemed to drop by a few degrees in an instant.

"My lord, I'm wronged, I'm wronged!"

The woman wept and kept repeating the same sentence in a poignant voice.

Li Da was so confused that he couldn't figure out the situation in front of him at all.

"There's security downstairs, how did you get up?"

The woman did not respond to Li Da's inquiry, but this time she finally stopped repeating the previous sentence:

"My lord, the little girl lives in Lin Feng Mountain, and she is bullied every day, and she has no grievances in her heart.

I am here today, and I ask you to avenge my grievances! ”

Li Da was full of confusion at the moment, and until now he couldn't figure out the situation in front of him.

But what the woman said made Li Da, who was upright in his heart, a little surprised:

"What the hell happened, since you were bullied, why didn't you report it to the Criminal Division, why did you come to this county government in the middle of the night?"

"Adult, the little girl can only come at this time, there is someone to guard during the day, and the little girl is not allowed to come in.

Please be sure to make decisions for the little girl, please ......"

But when the woman had said this, she suddenly looked back at the dark corridor, stood up with a frightened face, and said in horror as she walked out:

"He's found me, my lord, you must be the little girl!"

As she spoke, the woman ran out of the office, and Li Da didn't know where he got the courage, so he quickly stood up and chased out the door, but at this time he found that the corridor was empty and there was no one there.

This made Li Da stunned for a long time, and suddenly he felt that something seemed to be approaching behind him, and then he turned his head to look, but a distorted and hideous face came into view, which made Li Da startled.

"Ahh

Subconsciously exclaimed, Li Da suddenly sat up from the bed.

His head was covered with sweat, and the moment he sat up, Li Da hurriedly looked around, only to realize that it seemed to be just a dream just now.

Looking at the clock on the wall, the time stopped at exactly twelve o'clock, but the hands did not stop, and still made a ticking sound.

This dream is so vivid that it is still fresh in Li Da's memory even after he wakes up.

He stood up and poured himself a glass of water and drank it in a big gulp, only to suppress the panic in his heart.

Immediately after that, Li Da walked to the desk and made a phone call to the security department, and this time the phone was answered without ringing a few times.

"Did anyone just come in?"

In the face of Li Da's inquiry, the security guard's voice seemed a little puzzled:

"Leader, where is anyone coming in the middle of the night?

What's more, I've been staring at the surveillance. ”

"Got it."

After saying this, Li Da hung up the phone, which made the security guard in the security booth look at the phone in his hand with some confusion, and finally muttered to himself:

"Inexplicable......"

After putting the phone back in place, the security guard retracted his collar again, then began to nap with his arms folded and his head bowed.

Now Li Da was basically sure that he should have just had a dream just now, but for the sake of insurance, he still opened the office door, but just turned the doorknob, and the lights in the corridor immediately turned on.

Only then did Li Da completely put his mind at ease, and after calming down a little, he fell asleep on the bed again.

At dawn the next day, Zhou Xiangyin came to work, and Li Da had already put away the folding bed and began to sit at the desk to correct the documents.

Zhou Xiangyin put breakfast in front of Li Da, and almost every time Li Da spent the night in the office, Zhou Xiangyin would always bring breakfast to eat with Li Da the next day.

However, when he saw Li Da, Zhou Xiangyin felt a little puzzled:

"County guard, it's okay, why do you look so bad?"

Li Da shook his head while taking a bite of the bun:

"It's okay, I had a nightmare last night, and it was so vivid that I didn't sleep well all night."

As soon as he heard this, Zhou Xiangyin immediately laughed:

"County Guard, what kind of dream scared you like this, as far as I know, you seem to be not afraid of heaven and earth."

Zhou Xiangyin's words can be regarded as opening Li Da's chatterbox, and he told Zhou Xiangyin in detail about the dream he had last night.

Until now, Li Da's memory of this dream is still very clear, as if he had experienced it himself not long ago.

After listening to this nightmare, Zhou Xiangyin smiled indifferently:

"County guard, you're just too tired, don't work all the time, make sure you have a rest.

Nightmares, it's always like this, there is no beginning or end, don't take it too seriously.

But then again, the dream is quite real, and the places mentioned by the people in the dream are real. ”

"Huh?"

Hearing this, Li Da immediately frowned:

"Do you mean Lin Fengshan? How did I not know there was such a place? ”

"Lin Feng Mountain is the Taijia Mountain of our Qingquan City, and Lin Feng Mountain is the name of a long time ago.

The mountain is remote and desolate, and there is nothing but some old graves, and it's normal that you don't know. ”

Li Da's movements immediately froze in place, and he looked at Zhou Xiangyin's eyes with a little more surprise......

There will be an update at noon
