what's in the depths

Folklore is formed by the accumulation of thousands of years of culture. It is not only a nation's prayer and yearning for a better life, but also a nation's spiritual sustenance as time changes.

Beyond that, it has survived above all because it has become a more binding ideology of directive behavior than law.

On the winding mountain road, an old-looking bus was driving slowly along the side of the road, rolling over the rough dirt road and making a loud noise.

Sitting in the last row of the car was a young couple who looked only 21 or [-] years old. The girl had beautiful hair, black and soft, which set off her creamy skin, gentle and peaceful.

Compared with the beautiful girl, the boy beside him was slightly inferior—an ordinary face, the kind that could never be found after throwing it in the crowd.

Not only that, judging from the clothes alone, the girl’s family conditions are also very good, the clothes are all brand names, and the backpack is a new model of a big brand just released in the new year; while the boy beside him is like the standard equipment of a man of science and engineering, with a plaid shirt and a washed white The jeans and sneakers are not cheap, but they are also old models a few years old, and the toe caps have been slightly worn.

The girl leaned on the boy's shoulder, closed her eyes and meditated.

This combination is really weird, so the people in the car couldn't help but take a few more glances.

I don’t know how long it took before the bus stopped at the side of the road with a “crash”. The boy gently shook the girl awake and spoke to her in a soft Hokkien accent. The girl rubbed her sleepy eyes and held the boy’s hand Get out of the car with him.

The blood-red sunset filled the sky, which is a scene that cannot be seen in winter in the north, so the girl looked up a few more times.

The boy was carrying an old mountaineering bag, which was bulging, and he was carrying a few gift boxes in his left hand, while holding the girl's hand firmly in his right hand, he walked slowly along the desolate path to the huge mysterious earth building ——

"One pair three!"

"I'm sorry." Zhu Yuhan looked at the only two cards left in his hand, and threw them away in frustration, "I lost, I only have an old K and a 4 left."

Tong Si showed the last hole card in his hand, and the red-nosed clown showed a mocking face, facing Zhu Yuhan.

"You shouldn't dismantle that pair of K and 4. In fact, if you don't dismantle, any pair can overwhelm me." Tong Si said, stretching out his hand and starting to reshuffle the cards.

"Let's stop playing, and Lao Li will be back soon. If he sees us playing poker during work hours, he will definitely talk endlessly." Zhu Yuhan said, standing up, stretching out his hands to pinch his sore waist, "Fu Yuxing's case records you Have you sorted it out?"

"It's finished, and I sent it to your email." Tong Si put away the poker, was about to go out, and remembered something, and turned back, "By the way, Team Zhu, did Zhou Xiaoran tell you?"

"say what."

"I heard from the anti-mafia team next door that the police station will organize outings before this year."

"I knew it earlier. I really don't have any interest in the tour organized by the police station. Just these old clappers, what good place do you think they will take us to? I went to Fumeng Town the year before last, and after seven days I ate bran swallowing vegetables Anyway, I don’t have any expectations this year.”

Tong Si shrugged: "No, it is said that a lottery system will be implemented this year, and there is a seven-day tour in Japan at public expense. Are you sure you don't want to go?"

Zhu Yuhan turned his head, eyes deep: "When will the lottery be drawn?"

"This afternoon."

When Zhu Yuhan heard this, he immediately put on his coat: "I'll go and ask for a visa. When I come back, if Deputy Director Li asks, he will say that I am on official business."

Team Zhu, who believes in science and walks on the edge of superstition, is very pious. He bought three sticks of incense and stood there in front of the statue for a while, not knowing what to say. Japan seven-day tour" said a few words, imitating the pilgrim next to him, inserting incense into the incense burner, clapping his hands, and walking out loudly.

This behavior caused dissatisfaction among many pious believers, and they sincerely prayed:

"The Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, I beg you to punish those who don't understand etiquette, so that I can live a harmonious and stable life—"

It was the first time that the police station was so lively that night. Big guys from all walks of life gathered together, and the police officers next to them cheered. They rolled up their sleeves and drew lots one by one according to the order. Anyway, they were all heading for the seven-day tour in Japan.

In the heat, Chu Rong was the only one to be seen. The people in the forensic department said that Chu Rong had already asked for several days of personal leave and said that he would come back to work in a few days.

Zhu Yuhan didn't understand, Chu Rong didn't even have any relatives here, what could make the dedicated man leave his job and take such a long vacation?

Each department sent the most lucky police officers to participate in the lottery. After getting the lottery, they silently recited civilization, harmony, prosperity and friendliness several times in their hearts. As a result, when they opened the sign, their faces collapsed immediately.

"Who can tell me where Ezhuang is?"

A criminal portraitist who just graduated squeezed in: "I know that place. When I was in college, my department organized a sketching there. Let me tell you, from the beginning of the village to the end of the village, there is only a small shop. Only sell spicy sticks."

After hearing these words, the police officers who were drawn to Ezhuang were surrounded and beaten by other police officers in their team until they screamed again and again.

Seeing the police officers unwrapping the sign one by one, some people are happy, some are worried, some don't care, no matter where they go, being able to temporarily escape from his wife's jurisdiction is already a great gift from God to him.

In the end, only the Crime Squad and the Criminal Investigation Division hadn't opened the lottery, and the seven-day tour to Japan hadn't been issued so far. In other words, the grand prize was between the two.

"Leader Huo, come on! The serious crime team will win!"

"Bless the team, wish the team! Use your luck to solve the case by guessing, guessing, guessing, and making nonsense, and crush the serious crime team."

Hawthorne sneered, and he didn't want to keep his secrets anymore. He opened the stick casually, and the expression on his face changed instantly.

Zhu Yuhan panicked when he saw his expression.

It's over, it's over, it's over.Is there any need to dismantle it?

The members of the serious crime team all gathered together to check the contents of the lottery, and then amidst the cheers of all the team members, Hawthorne was lifted up by them and thrown into the air.

"Team Zhu, why are you so mournful? What's the matter with you?" Tong Si understood when he saw the posture next door, pointed at Zhu Yuhan and said, with a look of hatred for iron.

Open the sign, only to see four large characters on the letter:

"Yong'an Tulou."

A police officer from the serious crime team walked over and patted Zhu Yuhan on the shoulder pretending to be sorry: "Don't be sad, we will bring you gifts back. What do you want, AV actress or Kabukicho Cowherd No. 1?"

After speaking, everyone roared with laughter.

"What are you laughing at? I heard that Yong'an Tulou was once haunted by ghosts. If we solve this problem in the past, we will be promoted directly to the team."

Zhu Yuhan cast a grateful look at Zhou Xiaoran who was speaking, and praised in his heart that it was Meizi Ran who knew how to love others.

"Xiaoran, you have been busy for a year, you should go out and relax, otherwise our team will share the air ticket money for you to take you to Japan, and you can go there to buy some facial masks and so on. a sum."

When Xue Yuan mentioned this, everyone in the serious crime team applauded.

"Eh? Is it really possible?!"

Therefore, Zhou Xiaoran, the only woman in the criminal investigation department, chose to betray without hesitation.

------------

On the day of departure, Fu Huaiyu prepared a backpack of snacks for his daughter-in-law, and reminded him to keep an eye on his mobile phone and wallet when he went out. If a stranger strikes up a conversation, ignore him. Most importantly, don't just follow him when you see a handsome guy.

"I'm already in my 30s. Isn't this an insult to my IQ?" Zhu Yuhan pouted, put his backpack on his back, pulled up his suitcase, and blew a kiss to Fu Huaiyu.

"I'm leaving."

"I'll take you to the police station." Fu Huaiyu stood at the entrance for a while, seeing Zhu Yuhan put on his shoes, then immediately tore off his coat from the hanger, and picked up the car keys.

"No, no, I'll take the subway there by myself, and, don't you really want to go there?"

"Will Chu Rong go?" Fu Huaiyu suddenly asked without beginning or end.

Hearing this sentence, Zhu Yuhan really shuddered: "No... I don't know, I probably won't go. I heard from the people in Corey that he took a long vacation."

Fu Huaiyu nodded, and stretched out his hand to help Zhu Yuhan straighten the hat that was rolled up behind the hoodie: "Then when you go there, remember to eat on time, don't forget the time when you are playing, call me every day, and..."

"Stop it, stop it." Zhu Yuhan quickly stopped, "There's nothing interesting over there, maybe it's just a meal and a drink with the local colleagues."

"drink less."

Zhu Yuhan responded with countless "good, good", and seeing that he was going to be late, Fu Huaiyu obediently let him go.

However, as soon as he arrived at the police station, when he saw the tourist team going to Yong'an Tulou this time, he couldn't help but have strong doubts.

Didn't Chu Rong take a long vacation?Isn't Chu Rong from the forensic department?Isn't the forensic department going to Sanya?Why is he here, still dragging the suitcase.

And Chu Rong replied:

"I've been to Sanya many times, but I haven't been to Yong'an Tulou. It's okay to go and have a look."

------------

Yong'an Tulou is a famous cultural building left by the Hakka people who migrated to the south. It can be called a treasure of art and culture. Its ingenious architectural craftsmanship attracts a large number of tourists every year.

Looking down, the earth building is in the shape of a ring, which can accommodate up to 1000 people, which is magnificent and magnificent.

Along the winding mountain road, more than 50 people including the Criminal Investigation Department and Chu Rong left in a bus.

When they arrived at the village, it was already after [-] o'clock at night. The team members got out of the car in distress, dragged out the suitcase from the bottom of the car, and followed the tour guide Zhang Damao to check in at the tourist base near the village.

They were said to be tour guides, but in fact they were idlers randomly pulled from the village, and they did not book a room in advance, which resulted in five people without a room.

The person in charge of the base over there said embarrassedly: "There are a lot of tourists these days. It's almost Chinese New Year, so there's no other way. Otherwise, I'll arrange for you to live in the village first. My ancestral hall happens to have a vacant room. Otherwise, you can feel wronged." , There will be a few check-outs tomorrow, and the room will be available for you to check in as soon as possible."

Tong Si was unhappy when he heard this, and said that he would rather go to the bus to make do for one night than sleep in the ancestral hall.

Seeing the face of the person in charge getting more and more ugly, Zhu Yuhan quickly interjected:

"Whether that's good or bad, there's really no way to do it. Let's just make it one night. Anyway, it's just one night."

No matter what he said, Tong Sicai reluctantly agreed, and said that when he went back, he would treat Zhu Yuhan to treat his guests for a pedicure to soothe his young and injured heart.

The ancestral hall is hidden under the misty moonlight, looking from a distance, it exudes a sense of coldness.
