Chapter 1: The Flower Festival

The dim night is in strong contrast with the sun, and the city is gradually losing its lights, and perhaps it has a new pursuit.

Humming City, with a hundred flowers as a symbol, the most famous is also the border city garden here, all kinds of flowers in the garden, beautiful, among which the most famous and the most mysterious is the treasure of this town garden, the name is "Qinglin", it is given by a rich man of this city, it is said that the life span of this flower can reach hundreds of years, and the vitality is very strong. Twenty meters around this plant, there is no grass growing at all, absorbing all the nutrients, and it is very dangerous, so it is forbidden to see it up close.

Approaching autumn, in the early hours of the night, the wind is cold.

Liu Meng, a reporter from the city newspaper, decided to shoot Qinglin at close range at night in order to attract attention to the plate he was responsible for.

Parking the electric car on the side of the road to hide, with a single-lens reflex camera hanging around his neck, Liu Meng looked at the gate of the garden was closed, thought about it, and went to the garden wall, rubbed his hands, climbed the wall and turned over, in front of him was a variety of flowers that he couldn't name stepped on the soft soil, deliberately not stepping on those flowers, if it was discovered, the compensation would not be on.

The floral aromas of different flowers are mixed together, and the taste will be a little unpleasant.

Liu Meng knew where Qinglin was, and he went to the deepest part.

After walking for a few minutes, I finally saw the huge plant in the middle of the fence.

Liu Meng was amazed at Qinglin's hugeness, and quietly walked towards the place where the distance became closer.

The dirt under your feet is like sand when stepped on, and the friction between your shoes and the soil produces a "rustling" sound.

In front of him is Qinglin.

I don't know why, Liu Meng felt that his heart was beating badly, a little trance, shook his head, picked up the camera Liu began to take pictures, and accidentally found that there were several very small plants around Qinglin.

Liu Meng found that the index finger of his right hand had been cut with a big cut.

Then he saw a barb like a shuttle knife grow from the smooth stem.

I scolded my bad luck, and when I saw that my hand was bleeding, I pulled out a small green lin, left the garden, and rode home over the wall.

After returning home, he rushed to the bathroom, cleaned the wounds on his fingers, and his fingers no longer bleed, Liu Meng was very tired, entered the bedroom, and planted the little Qinglin that he pulled out into a pot full of soil, and placed it on the windowsill.

Night, shrouded in the city, moonlight, glowing.

The green lins planted in the pot seem to be moving, and the green rhizomes are agitated like blood vessels.

Suddenly, a thorn grew from one place, spreading, getting longer and longer, extending to Liu Meng's bed, and it was several meters long in a few seconds, only to see that thorn, extending to the index finger that was stabbed at night, and pierced it violently, but Liu Meng didn't feel it just frowning slightly.

Just under the moonlight, under the green lin's stamens, a smiling face appeared.

At the Municipal Police Station, Fan Peng, the captain of the criminal police, was in the class without incident, and suddenly, his subordinate Wang Yun answered a phone call, put down the phone after a while, and said to Fan Peng: "Captain, there is a life case in the Dingyu community." ”

Fan Peng was interested after hearing this, and quickly stood up.

"Notify the forensic doctor and go to the scene of the crime for inspection. Let's go. After saying that, he went downstairs and started the car to go to the scene of the murder.

Half an hour later, Fan Peng arrived at the scene and found that the deceased's father was sitting in the living room, accompanied by several criminal policemen.

"Who found the dead?"

"It's the mother of the deceased, but the mother of the deceased can't stand the blow and has fainted and sent to the hospital, the father of the deceased, a little relieved, and will be asked later"

Fan Peng nodded, then entered the deceased's room, and was shocked to see the corpse.

A dried corpse was lying on the bed, his clothes had been stripped by the forensic doctor, and the forensic doctor Qianqian and several assistants were examining the body.

Qianqian saw that Fan Peng was coming, and asked the assistant to put the body in the body bag and move it out first, Fan Peng was also stunned when he saw the corpse, and asked Qianqian: "What's the matter, why is this deceased a dry corpse???"

Qian Qian frowned: "The cause of death, very strange, is that all the nutrients in the body are drained, just like fertilizer, and are absorbed." I haven't seen anything like it and can only wait a few days for the post-mortem report. “

Fan Peng was also surprised when he saw Qianqian, and he had nothing to do, so he could only say: "That Qianqian, thank you for your hard work." "Hey, it's okay, it's work, but I have a guess. “

When Fan Peng heard Qianqian say this, he couldn't help but think of it.

"Inhuman. The two said this sentence at the same time, and Fan Peng also sighed, this was the first time he had encountered this kind of thing as a criminal police captain.

Qianqian said again: "Well, I'll go back first, I need to rush to work at night, if you find it difficult, you can go to him and ask." ”

Fan Peng was speechless, didn't know what to say, and exited the deceased's room with Qianqian, comforted the deceased's father again, and left the scene and returned to the police station.

In the afternoon, the "Shadow" Book House.

In the film, he counted the hours, stood up from the counter seat of the bookstore, clapped his hands, and said to the children who were reading (for the film, they are all children. said: "Today's time is up, dear book friends, please be early tomorrow." “

People who read books are complaining about why the door is closed so early, and the film is usually very punctual, but today he always feels that something is going to happen. The sky gradually darkened, and the shadow offered the Seven Stars Altar in the secret room of the book house, stepping on the nine palace gossip, the seven stars for the heaven and the earth, and breaking the heavens, at this time, a book was conjured out of the shadow hand, a book blocked by chains, and after a sigh, he pointed at two fingers, and the book disappeared again, and the dim light in the secret room gradually disappeared.

The film looked at the time: "Eight o'clock, it should be coming soon." ”

At this time, just between breaths, he heard someone knocking outside the rolling shutter door, and he smiled slightly, knowing who was coming to him, but he still asked: "Who, it's so late?"

"Me, your dear Captain Fan, open the door. ”

The shadow smiled: "I'm sorry, Captain Fan, the bookstore is closed today, I want to read a book and get up early tomorrow!"

Outside the door, Fan Peng had a black line on his face, and then knocked again,

"Hey, hey, I have something important to look for you!Hurry up and open the door!!" There was no response, and there was no other way, so I could only go to the small restaurant opposite and sit down, the owner of the restaurant was a thin old man, who knew Fan Peng, "Yo, Captain Fan, what kind of wind is blowing from today?"

"It's not the bookstore owner across from you. Don't talk nonsense, I haven't eaten yet, give me a few more beers. ”

"Okay, but I said Captain Fan, the gentlemen in the movie are closed, it's not good for you to come uninvited, isn't it?"

Fan Peng waited for the food to come up while drinking and eating, chatting with the shopkeeper, and slowly there were fewer people on the street, and Fan Peng fell asleep on the table while he was drinking. (To be continued)
