what's weird

Chapter 4 1 Plate of Peanuts

Gu Yizhi had already smoked the end of a cigarette, he wringed out the spark, and threw it into the trash can.

"Where did you get this corpse aura?" Feng Ze walked from behind him, the closer he got, the tighter his brows frowned.

"It's you again!" Gu Yizhi turned his head and saw this face, and was furious.

"You just went to the hospital morgue?" Feng Ze looked him up and down.

Gu Yizhi was already in a depressed mood, and he didn't have the heart to carry it with him, so he said angrily: "Before I arrest you, I advise you to leave quickly."

"I think I'm a law-abiding citizen." Feng Ze spread his hands and said.

"Law-abiding citizens don't sneak around the river in the middle of the night to make deals with people." Gu Yizhi said mockingly.In fact, he has already investigated the license plate. The owner of the car is an ordinary office worker. Three years ago, his son chose to throw himself into the river because he could not stand the pain of cancer chemotherapy. The donation was not reported by the follow-up media, so it was nothing.

"There are some things that can only be done at night." Feng Ze smiled strangely, with a hint of meaning in his words.

"If something can only be done at night, it means that it cannot see the light, and if it cannot be seen, it is not a good thing!" Gu Yizhi still held a grudge against what he said last time, and said through gritted teeth.

"Good or bad, only the person involved knows." Feng Ze said calmly.

"You're quite thick-skinned." Gu Yizhi sarcastically said.

"Thin-skinned people generally only find fault for themselves," Feng Ze said with a smile, "so thick-skinned is also an advantage."

"Okay, you're amazing!" Gu Yizhi glared at him, turned his head and left.

"Let's have a glass of wine if we're free?" Feng Ze said to him.

"Us? Why?" Gu Yizhi looked at him suspiciously.

"Because the sky is clear, it's the most suitable for drinking." Feng Ze's answer was very far-fetched.

"Unreasonable!" Gu Yizhi muttered, turned his head and walked a few steps, stopped and turned around and said, "Don't you want to drink, let's go!"

Feng Ze is very curious about this person. He has never seen a person who is surrounded by so many grievances and is safe and sound. He wants to know who put a seal on him, and what kind of seal can protect him for so many years. safe and sound.

The place was chosen by Gu Yizhi. He led Feng Ze into a dark alley, and a dilapidated small restaurant appeared in front of him. The stove was built in front of the door, and there were vegetables and meat in the freezer. The owner was an old man. A bald man in his 40s, wearing a white vest, sat on the floor choosing vegetables.

"Old Li, stir fry two dishes and bring some beers!" Gu Yizhi greeted familiarly.

"It's Police Officer Gu, you haven't come for a while!" Lao Li stood up and enthusiastically poured tea for them, "Wait, I'll cook vegetables for you!"

This restaurant looks like it has been around for a while, most of the white ash on the walls has fallen off, and some places are covered with newspapers. The tables and chairs are old-fashioned chipboard round tables, the tabletops are severely worn and scratched, and the stools are spotty. , round and square, long and short, some are placed by the table, and some are piled up in the corner.Feng Ze sat there, like someone from another world, out of tune with the surrounding environment.

"The food and drinks here are delicious?" Apart from this, Feng Ze really couldn't find another reason to let someone walk in here.

"Let's make up." Gu Yizhi had already lifted a few bottles of beer from the box and put them on the table, opened a bottle with his teeth, and poured two glasses full, "I used to come here often when I was in the police academy, so many years Well, the store hasn't changed at all."

Generally speaking, when people miss a certain place, they either miss the food there, or the people there, or simply miss their own past. The young man with a handsome face and bright eyes in front of him is obviously the last one.Feng Ze couldn't help smiling, his eyes swept across the shop, and fixed on the cash register.

There was a round-faced and slightly chubby woman sitting there quietly. Her eyes were focused on Lao Li who was busy in front of the stove. Her expression was both gratified and distressed, as if feeling Feng Ze's gaze, she turned around face, showing them a kind smile.

"The food is here!" Lao Li put two steaming dishes on the table, and said with a smile on his face: "Officer Gu, eat slowly! By the way, this brother has never seen it before, and it is the first time he has come back." Well, I don't know how to call it."

"Feng Ze." When the name was announced, Feng Ze took a special look at Gu Yizhi.

Lao Li took out a plate of fried peanuts from the freezer and said, "This is the first time Mr. Feng is here, this plate of peanuts will be an extra dish for you." Put the peanuts on the table, go to the door and sit down to choose vegetables.

"It's just that handsome people are different. You can earn extra food when you eat." Gu Yizhi picked up a peanut and threw it into his mouth.

"Reciprocity." Feng Ze brought the peanuts in front of him.

"What kind of courteous reciprocity? Don't be so stingy!" Gu Yizhi said anxiously.

"I exchanged my name for this dish of peanuts. If you want to eat it, you can also exchange it with your name." Feng Zepi said with a smile.

"A profiteer!" Gu Yizhi cursed bitterly, took out his police officer's card and spread it on the table, "Look for yourself!" He snatched the plate back from under his hand and ate with great relish.

"This photo is really ugly." Feng Ze's expression was very disgusting.

"That's really embarrassing, it affected your appetite." Gu Yizhi stuffed the documents back into his arms and said angrily.

It's past meal time now, and there are no other customers in the store except them.The dishes on the table are very simple, except for that plate of peanuts, the remaining plate is tomato scrambled eggs, and the other plate is fragrant dried twice-cooked pork. They are all ordinary home-cooked stir-fries. The taste is just as Gu Yizhi said. That's all.

"A year ago, this store was burglarized." After drinking a few sips of beer, Gu Yizhi's eyes sank, "Old Li and his wife heard the noise and checked, and they bumped into the gangsters and fought At that time, his wife was hit by a falling cabinet and passed out on the spot. Lao Li called me, and when I arrived, he was still hugging the gangster tightly. From then on, his wife He has been lying in the hospital and is still unconscious."

Feng Ze was stunned for a moment, then turned his eyes to the woman next to the cash register, her eyes were so gentle, she kept staring at Lao Li's busy figure, and couldn't bear to look away for a moment.

"The couple had already bought a new store and planned to move there after packing up. After Aunt Li's accident, Lao Li sold the new store and sent the child back to his hometown. He stayed here alone and relied on this store to make money. The money is for his wife's medical expenses." Gu Yizhi looked at the plate of peanuts, "He put all the money into the hospital, and his daily living expenses added up, it may not be enough to buy these peanuts."

The woman had a sad look in her eyes when she heard him speak.

"That gangster is a habitual criminal and has been wanted by the bureau. If I can catch him sooner..." Gu Yizhi drank the beer in his glass and said heavily, "I knew from then on that if I can't solve the case , if the murderer is kept at large, it will not only be a person or a family who will suffer."

"Where did you go just now?" Feng Ze asked, thinking of the corpse aura on his body.

"Yicheng University." Gu Yizhi said.

"Have you met anyone?" Feng Ze asked with a frown.

"Can there be no one in the school? Are they all ghosts?" Gu Yizhi looked at Feng Ze with an expression of "Do you have a problem with IQ?"

"Have you ever seen a ghost?" Feng Ze Shun Teng asked tentatively.

"Are you okay, there are no ghosts in this world..." The words that blurted out came to an abrupt end here, Gu Yizhi seemed to be thinking of something, and started to drink in suspense.

The phone rang at this moment, and he took it out to answer it: "Hello, Wang Hao...what?...Okay, I'll be right back." He hung up the phone in a hurry, stood up and said, "The bureau is looking for me. I'm leaving."

Before Feng Ze could speak, he took out 300 yuan and pressed it on the cash register, shouting as he walked, "Old Li, I put the money there!"

"Officer Gu, you gave too much!" Lao Li chased out, but he couldn't see Gu Yizhi's figure. He shook his head and sighed. , how embarrassing it is!"

"Does he come here often?" Feng Ze asked.

"I can come here two or three times a month, Mr. Feng, are you colleagues? Why don't you bring the money to him for me." Lao Li took out a handful of change, counting and muttering, "No I know how much I owe him, if these are not enough, I will pay him back when he comes next time..."

"I'm afraid he'll cut me off." Feng Ze said jokingly, Gu Yizhi is considered unique in the world if he can do such a good thing.

"This..." Lao Li held the handful of change around.

"He will come again." Feng Ze waved his hand and walked out of the alley.As soon as he reached the entrance of the alley, Lao Li chased after him out of breath, holding a mobile phone in a plastic bag in his hand: "Mr. Feng, do you think this was left by Officer Gu? I've seen this bag before. They Police often use it to hold evidence."

What a dead breath!

Feng Ze's face darkened, and he took it over and said, "Leave it to me."

The mobile phone was quietly lying in his hand, and clouds of black air came out from it, as thick as ink.

Gu Yizhi rushed into the office in a hurry. Wang Hao and the others were discussing in front of the computer. When they saw him, they said, "Yizhi, come and see this."

"What's going on?" Gu Yizhi couldn't help beating his heart when he saw their serious expressions.

Wang Hao called up the surveillance video, dragged the time forward for a while, and pressed the play button. A petite girl with long hair appeared on the screen. Wang Hao pointed to the screen and said, "Look, Tang Xiaoyi is at 27:[-] p.m. They appeared on Binjiang Road." In the video, Tang Xiaoyi turned her head to talk to someone while walking, with a pleasant smile on her face.

"This is too weird!" Seeing Tang Xiaoyi's movements, An Hui couldn't help feeling a chill all over her body.

In the picture, Tang Xiaoyi walked to the edge of the river and sat down. Although she couldn't see her expression, judging from her movements, she was very relaxed.After a while, she turned her head to look to the left, smiled sweetly, and leaned her head up, as if snuggling up to her lover, and in such a place, there was obviously only a mass of air.

"She..." An Hui was shocked and speechless.

The video was still playing, Gu Yizhi suddenly said: "Wait! This position, maximize the screen!"

Wang Hao pressed the pause button and dragged it to the mouse. In the continuously enlarged video image, a black or gray silhouette gradually appeared around Tang Xiaoyi. It was blurry and almost merged with the night, so it was easy to be ignored.
