Roster of Demons

"Why do you ask that?" Xiao Xiuxiu was taken aback, "Do you suspect that the technical support deliberately gave wrong information?"

"I can't rule out this possibility, but I can't say for sure." Gu Zhen said, "Do you remember who it is?"

Xiao Xiuxiu's face suddenly became a little strange: "I don't know."

"Sister Xiuxiu, don't be under psychological pressure. I just need a complete information chain. Only when I have a comprehensive understanding of the situation can I look down, don't you think so?" Gu Zhen said.

"It's not that I don't want to say it." Xiao Xiuxiu said, "It's just that I can't. Because there was no technical support for that mission."

This answer was obviously beyond Gu Zhen's expectation: "Sister Xiuxiu, what do you mean by that?"

"Lao Meng applied for the task himself." Xiao Xiuxiu said, "His basis was a feasibility report in his hand. There was no technical support at the time. In order to make the source of the report reasonable, he asked someone in the team to sign it on his behalf. .”

Gu Zhen had seen this feasibility report before, and he always thought it was issued by a certain technical supporter in the meeting, but he didn't expect it to be provided by Meng Youwen?

"Written by Meng Zu himself?" Gu Zhen asked.

Xiao Xiuxiu shook her head: "Others wrote it and sent it to him by registered mail. I remember it very clearly."

"Understood." Gu Zhen said.

No matter what Meng Youwen is investigating, what is the purpose of going to the border between the two cities.At least one thing is certain, he has great trust in the person who gave this feasibility report, and the identity of this person is not suitable to appear in the mission report.

"When Mengzu was alive, did you have any friends you kept in touch with?" Gu Zhen asked.

"Old Meng has a dull temper. He usually stays at home when he's not at work. He doesn't have many friends." Xiao Xiuxiu said, "If you want to talk about a lot of contact, there are only a few students he taught when he was an instructor in the training center. Usually They don’t work in the same place, and they rarely see each other.” Speaking of this, Xiao Xiuxiu remembered another thing, “But they had a drink together during the Spring Festival last year. It seems that they still have a photo. Just wait, I’ll go in and look for it.”

There should be quite a lot of things in Xiao Xiuxiu's compartment, and she came out with a small format photo album after searching for a long time.

"It's all here." Xiao Xiuxiu said.

Gu Zhen took it and flipped through it casually.

Most of the albums are personal photos of Xiao Xiuxiu, there are very few photos of the husband and wife together, and almost none of Meng Youwen's personal photos.

"He doesn't like to take pictures. There are only so few photos left, and a photo album can't be filled. I think it's too empty, so I washed some of my own and added it. It looks full." Xiao Xiuxiu introduced and pointed to Gu Zhen, "The photo of him with the students is on the last page."

Hearing this, Gu Zhen turned the album to the end.

There are only four people in the group photo.One is older and is Meng Youwen; the other three are very young and should be his students.

Seeing someone Gu Zhen knew in the photo, he almost laughed out loud.

I don't know why, at this time, Gu Zhen was not surprised to find Fang Jing's existence in the process of investigating clues.

"Can I take this photo?" Gu Zhen asked.

"Anything you want." Xiao Xiuxiu said, "Can I use it?"

"Maybe." After taking the photo, Gu Zhen returned the album to Xiao Xiuxiu, "Sister Xiuxiu, I have one last question to ask you."

Leaving the department store, Little Crow stretched his waist.

"Are you sleepy?" Gu Zhen stood beside him, looking around.

"Hmm." The little crow neither admitted nor denied it.Gu Zhen and Xiao Xiuxiu spent most of their time playing charades on the secret codes. He couldn't understand them, so he naturally fell asleep.

"Wait for me here for a while." Gu Zhen patted him on the shoulder and ran away.

"?" The little crow was confused for a while, Gu Zhen had already run away.He avoided pedestrians, ran all the way to the corner of the street, and finally stopped in front of a small dessert stand with a long queue.

Gu Zhen's height of around 1.8 meters stands out among a group of little girls waiting to buy desserts.He himself didn't feel awkward, and lined up comfortably.

Ten minutes later, he came running back with a large sundae in each hand.

"Take it, it will refresh you." Gu Zhen said.

Looking at the ice cream handed in front of him, the little crow happily took it, took off the mask and licked the tip, but complained: "Why did it take so long?"

"The line is a bit long." Gu Zhen said, and licked off the cream on the tip, "Is it delicious?"

"So-so." Little Crow said, "It's still delicious at home."

"Get ready when you get back." Gu Zhen said without thinking.When he realized it, he had already spit out the words, and he quickly added, "I promised to take care of you, and I can still afford a few ice creams."

"Hmm." The little crow was noncommittal, grabbed the spoon, and put it into his mouth mouthful.They probably won't be able to go home until the truth comes to light, "After seeing you, do you still want to see monsters?"

"Guess right." Gu Zhen bit off a strawberry, baring her teeth sourly.He took out half a note from his pocket, "Then guess again, can you get through to the phone number I'm going to call later?"

"Da Qi! Two beef rice bowls from the fruit shop at Caishikou, hurry up and send them over."

It was time for lunch restaurants to receive delivery orders one after another. Qi Wei put the vegetable basket on the side of the vegetable sink, washed his hands, and came out of the back kitchen shaking the water stains.

"It's the old Zhang's." The proprietress picked up the plastic bag for takeout and handed it to him, "Go and come back quickly, there are still a dozen orders, and the pot will be ready soon."

Qi Wei nodded silently, put on the hood, and covered his face in the shadow.

He worked for a few days in the small restaurant next to the vegetable market.The proprietress is a very good person, she doesn't dislike his appearance, she takes him in for food and lodging, and the salary is settled on the same day.

For the current Qi Wei, it is the best treatment, and he even wants to stay a little bit.

But he quickly dismissed the idea.

"A total of 22 yuan." Qi Wei placed the beef rice bowl on the small table in the fruit shop.

"The money is in the box, take it yourself." Lao Zhang was busy helping customers pick lychees.

The change box was placed on the table, Qi Wei looked down, took enough money, turned and left the fruit shop.

In a few days, and with a little more money saved, it's time for him to change places again.

When the bell of the antique Nokia rang, Qi Wei finished delivering more than a dozen takeaway orders and was riding back on an e-donkey.

This number is quiet all the year round, except for "Commercial housing in the prime area of ​​the subway entrance is for sale" and "Sir, do you need a loan?" No one will call him at all.

Qi Wei didn't answer, and this type of sales call stopped after a while, and usually wouldn't call again.However, the bell rang persistently until it automatically hung up. Just when Qi Wei thought it would stop, it rang again.

He parked at the entrance of the restaurant, sat on the saddle and took out the Nokia. After hesitating for a while, he pressed the green call button: "Hello, I don't want to buy a house, and I don't need a loan."

After finishing his work at noon, Qi Wei finished his meal with the people in the small restaurant and cleaned up the dishes.The free time in the afternoon is free for activities, he and the proprietress informed and left the restaurant.

Gu Zhen and the little crow were already waiting at Caishikou.

Qi Wei saw them from a distance, nodded almost imperceptibly, and then went straight out.

After Gu Zhen and the little crow waited for him to move away, they followed him leisurely.

Qi Wei walked out of a street and took the two of them into a teahouse.

The consumption in the teahouse is not high, and most of them are people who spend tens of dollars to order a cup of ordinary tea to spend the afternoon. The three of them mixed in, and it didn't look awkward.

"Is Yuanbao okay?" After the waiter left the box with the tea list, Qi Wei took off his big hood, revealing the hideous scar on his face and his lifeless right eye.

Gu Zhen was still not used to it, she avoided her gaze a little bit: "Little fat man eats a lot and sleeps well, he lives better than you and me."

"That's good." Qi Wei smiled stupidly, then slowly restrained his smile and frowned, "Why did you come to Sanhe? You shouldn't have come."

"Because of this." Gu Zhen ignored the rest, just took out a note and put it on the table, and pushed it in front of Qi Wei, "Do you recognize it?"

Qi Wei stared at the note for a while.

"I wrote it." He picked up the note.After a while, he opened his mouth and said, "I left the number to someone who is willing to help, and he promised to investigate the cause of Zhao Xin's death."

"Zhao Xin?" Gu Zhen asked.

"My wife. Yuan Bao's mother." Qi Wei said.

Gu Zhen nodded knowingly: "Can we talk?"

Qi Wei stared at the note without answering.

"You don't trust me?" Gu Zhen asked.

Qi Wei still didn't answer.

"If you don't trust me, you can't let me take care of Yuanbao." Gu Zhen analyzed, "So what are you actually worried about, right?"

Qi Wei withdrew his eyes from the note and looked at Gu Zhen: "The person who promised to help me was Meng Youwen, the team leader of the special team of the Anti-hunting Alliance in Yanyang City. At the beginning of last year, he found some sporadic clues. We will We made an appointment to meet in Linjiang County.

"I waited there for three days, but he never contacted me. Later, when I went to find him, I found out that he and his team members were dead."

Linjiang County is the junction of Sanhe City and Yanyang City, where Meng Youwen went on his last mission.

"So you're worried that Gu Zhen will repeat his mistakes?" The little crow who had been silent all this time interrupted him.

Qi Wei was silent for a few seconds, then nodded.

"You don't need to worry about that." The little crow leaned back on the chair and found a comfortable position, "With me covering him, nothing will happen to him."

"Thank you, wait until all your fluff is gone before you say such things." Gu Zhen said.

The little crow snorted and rolled his eyes at him.

Seeing him making noise with a man and a monster, Qi Wei showed a little envious look: "What do you want to know?" After speaking, he pushed the note back to Gu Zhen.

This means willing to speak.

Just as Gu Zhen was about to ask questions, the waiter knocked on the door of the box, and placed tea and pastries on the table one by one.He could only keep his mouth shut.

The color and shape of the pastry are attractive and delicious. The little crow leaned forward and smelled it, picked out a piece of walnut cake, picked it up, took a bite, and thought it tasted good, so he ate it by himself.

Gu Zhen smiled unconsciously.

After the waiter left with an empty plate, he asked Qi Wei again: "What happened to Zhao Xin's death?

"How did you know Meng Youwen?

"What's your relationship with Fang Jing?

"What happened five years ago?

"Why did Fang Jing take Yuanbao away?

"Have you ever had a private deal with the hunter?

"What is your purpose in Sanhe City?

"What exactly do you know?"

Gu Zhen asked a series of questions one after another like a machine gun.

The little crow couldn't stand it anymore, and said sarcastically, "You have too many questions. You are a teletubber, right?"

Gu Zhen: "..."

Qi Wei nodded agreeingly: "You really have a lot of questions, so let me tell you from the beginning."
