Roster of Demons

There are several large commercial circles in Sanhe City. Among them, the one closest to Gu Zhen Residence Hotel is the central commercial street of Sanhe City. There are various shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues along the street. People come and go every day, and it is very lively.

At night, Gu Zhen asked the hotel customer service to ask for a shopping and travel guide in Sanhe City. Early the next morning, he took a taxi and rushed to the largest department store in the central commercial street.

The shop opened at ten o'clock, they came early, and only one side door was open for internal staff to enter and exit.

"Who are you looking for?" The little crow looked up at the top of the building. A huge LED display was hung on the outer wall, scrolling the slogan of the end-of-season clearance event, "Why are you here?"

"Don't look, it's on the second basement floor, so you can't see it from above." Gu Zhen said.

He kept an eye on the surrounding situation, and when there was no one at the side door, he beckoned the little crow to follow, and they sneaked into the store together.

The second basement floor is a clothing city with privately contracted stalls. At this time, the stall owners have come one after another, stocking up on the store.Two strangers passed by, attracting everyone's attention.

"Why are we here?" The little crow covered most of his face with a mask, but it didn't feel so good to be watched all the way.

"Looking for someone." Gu Zhen said, "The person I'm looking for has opened a store here, selling all kinds of women's clothing."

"Do you know anyone who sells women's clothing?" Little Crow asked.

"To be honest, I don't know you." Gu Zhen didn't know how to explain to him, "Anyway, you'll know soon. You just stay aside later, don't do strange things."

"What's a strange thing?" The little crow said dissatisfied.

"Here, we're here." Gu Zhen pointed to the palm-sized number plate on the upper right corner of a shop door, and changed the topic, "It's here."

The lights in the store were on, and the walls and racks were covered with beautiful long skirts, short skirts and fancy tops, dazzling.

"Is anyone there?" Gu Zhen called out tentatively.

"Yes, yes, it's inside!" A woman's courteous response came from the depths of the store, and then a cloth curtain that was integrated with the background was lifted, and the woman hurried out stepping on small high heels.

"Boss, hurry up early. The mall came here before it opened." After doing business for a long time, I saw a lot of customers and women of all kinds. "What do you want to buy? Although our store is small, we still have a complete range of clothes. , are the latest models for this summer, the quality is very good, and it is suitable to buy for girlfriends or mothers, you can take a look at them.”

"I don't buy clothes." The other party was so enthusiastic that Gu Zhen felt a little embarrassed, "Excuse me, are you Ms. Xiao Xiuxiu?"

Hearing that the other party came looking for her by name, Xiao Xiuxiu immediately restrained her polite smile, looked at him suspiciously, and asked cautiously: "Who are you? What can you do with me?"

"My name is Gu Zhen, and I'm from Yanyang City." Gu Zhen said, "I'm Fu Xiaozi's cousin."

Upon hearing Fu Xiaozi's name, Xiao Xiuxiu instantly lowered her face: "I don't know Fu Xiaozi, you are looking for the wrong person. Since you don't want to buy clothes, please leave quickly and don't hinder my business. "

"I won't disturb your time too much." Gu Zhen said hastily, "I just want to ask a few questions."

"I don't know anything." Xiao Xiuxiu frantically waved her arms away, "Hurry up, or I'll call someone."

"I'm here to investigate the cause of your husband's death." Gu Zhen dodged the woman's swipe in embarrassment, but refused to leave. "A year and a half ago, the special team received an order to leave at the junction of Yanyang City and Sanhe City." Mission. Your husband Meng Youwen was the team leader at the time. Unfortunately, the mission went awry, everyone suffered an accident, and all members of the special group died."

"I don't know what you're talking about." Xiao Xiuxiu was obviously driven into a rage by Gu Zhen's actions. She searched around, grabbed a clothes pole, and pointed at Gu Zhen angrily, "Get out! Hurry up and give it to me." roll!"

According to Gu Zhen's request, the little crow has been standing by the opposite stall a few meters away.Seeing the woman's posture, he couldn't help but pay more attention.

"Sister Xiuxiu, don't get excited." Gu Zhen didn't dare to confront her head-on, so he could only take half a step back, "Why did your husband die, and who died, don't you want to know? Don't you want to give him an explanation? ?"

"Confession?" Xiao Xiuxiu snorted coldly, "The accident has not been investigated until now, so it has been suspended like this. I want an explanation, can you give it?"

"Give it, really." Gu Zhen said hurriedly.As long as Xiao Xiuxiu is willing to answer, everything will be easy, "I really can, sister Xiuxiu, I won't lie to you."

Gu Zhen stopped talking and gave Xiao Xiuxiu a buffer time.

After a few seconds of silence, the woman clenched the fork pole: "How to give it."

"I checked the mission log from a few years ago and found some clues." Gu Zhen paused, "As long as you cooperate, I can find a way to help you find out the culprit of the accident."

"Just sit down."

While saying this, Xiao Xiuxiu pulled down the anti-theft door of the store, turned around and entered the compartment, and poured tea for Gu Zhen and the little crow.

There were no stools in the small shop, Gu Zhen looked at the several large canvas bags full of goods piled up in the corner, and gave up the plan to sit casually.

"There is no tea, only plain water, whether you like it or not." Xiao Xiuxiu held two steaming disposable paper cups and handed them one each.

Xiao Xiuxiu, who had taken off her businessman's mask, had a cold temper, or rather, she was a little cold when facing Gu Zhen.

The corners of her mouth subconsciously pursed, revealing two shallow fine lines.

Gu Zhen thanked her.

"Save the polite words, I don't care about them." Xiao Xiuxiu sat on the large canvas bag, "Tell me about the accident at the beginning of last year. Why did you check the mission log from a few years ago? If I can accept your reason, I will accept it." I will fully cooperate with you."

Gu Zhen's mobilization speech was very clumsy, and the price offered was even a blank check.

But Xiao Xiuxiu was very concerned about the clues he mentioned a few years ago.

She always thought that Meng Youwen's death was just a simple mission accident with no results, and she never thought about it at a deeper level.

"Sister Xiuxiu, you also know that there is a confidentiality agreement in the meeting, and I can't disclose the specific content." Gu Zhen said, "But I can assure you of one thing, I really want to dig out the root of the whole thing .Otherwise, I don’t need to come to you. All the necessary information is in the file room. I just go and look it up myself. There’s no need to make a special trip here. Don’t you think so?”

"Then you choose what you can reveal." Xiao Xiuxiu was not at ease with this hairless boy.

Xiao Xiuxiu has seen too many people who like to brag and talk too much, and she doesn't want to misplace her hopes on such people.If Gu Zhen could not provide a convincing reason today, she would not speak.

"Okay." After a few seconds of thinking, Gu Zhen agreed to Xiao Xiuxiu's request.

He filtered the information in his mind, and then carefully organized his words: "Actually, at the beginning, I was chasing another mission, which was not connected to the accident at the beginning of last year. I will connect the two together because of a name."

Back in time a few days ago.

At that time, Gu Zhen had already learned about the subtle connection between Fang Jing and Yuan Bao; and the day after Yuan Bao's birthday, he was stopped by Qi Wei, the big unicorn; Alliance branch, ready to work overtime for a meeting.

Gu Zhen arrived nearly an hour early, and there was no one in the office, so he just browsed the web at his place to pass the time.

His computer is a second-hand computer distributed in the club. It was recycled by the previous members when they alternated. It has been stored in the warehouse for more than a year, and the speed of browsing the web is ridiculously slow.

Gu Zhen and Fang Jing mentioned that they wanted to change the computer, but they didn't agree.Every time he uses it, he can only slowly brush it at a super bad speed.

Because of the sudden visit of the big unicorn that day, Gu Zhen was holding something in his heart, and his tolerance was surprisingly low, so he dismantled the main unit on the spot - this dismantling, he discovered a secret.

On the back of the case cover, half a piece of note paper was stuffed, with a string of phone numbers and a line of words written on it: Thank you for your kindness, waiting for your call.Signed, Qi Wei, phone number XXX.

The computer is handed over as a whole, and the network administrator will not deliberately dismantle the case to clean the dust for the next user, so this label paper has a chance to stay until now.

Qi Wei.

If Gu Zhen had found this note one day earlier, he would have thrown it away.But it was such a coincidence that he just met a monster, also named Qi Wei.

Gu Zhen went into the archives to check the previous user of this old computer.It was none other than Meng Youwen, the late leader of the special group.

And when he looked through Meng Youwen's biography, he found out about his last mission.Go to the border between the two cities and investigate a monster that seems to be in collusion with the hunters.

Gu Zhen glanced at the time when the mission was issued, and it was only a few days away from the payment on the note.

The description of the whole mission is very vague, but it can be summed up in one sentence. When the Yuante team was performing the mission, they had a direct conflict with their opponents, lost to them, and died heroically; while the monster they were chasing fled on the spot.

Because the most direct participant was not found, it was impossible to continue the investigation, and the accident was suspended in the investigation department without further details.

"I checked the information and found several obvious mistakes in it." Gu Zhen said, "As for what it is, I won't say."

There is a very clear archive of on-site photos in the archives.In addition to the bodies of the five members of the special team, a monster's claw and a lot of blood were left at the scene.After analysis and identification, it is a common animal spirit.

None of this was enough to make Gu Zhen suspicious.

What really made him realize that the accident was not simple was the description of the monster's physical signs in the records - three piercing scars on the right face, and complete blindness in the right eye.

If it's just the same name, maybe Gu Zhen guessed wrong.However, the timing of leaving the note and the high degree of coincidence of the monster's physical signs made him suspect that this whole matter had something to do with the big unicorn.

And the big unicorn has a dazzling enmity with the hunter, and the possibility of colluding with the latter is very slight.If this is not true, then there is a big problem with the original intention of that investigation mission.

"Sister Xiuxiu, I've said everything I can say, and I really can't continue." Gu Zhen said, "Do you think it will work like this?"

"So-so." Gu Zhen didn't reveal much, but Xiao Xiuxiu personally participated in the mission, combined with the information she possessed, and she was surprised by the tip of the iceberg revealed, "If you want to know anything, just ask Go ahead. I'll tell you what I remember."

"At that time, there were only five people in the special group, and there was no serious technical support inside. All the places that needed technical support signatures were signed by an ordinary member of the group." Xiao Xiuxiu was willing to speak, and Gu Zhen stopped being polite to her. , "I searched all the information, but I couldn't find the name of the technical support."

"You were doing logistics in the meeting at the time, do you know who that person is?"
