Daily life of civil servants in the prefectural government

"Officer Cui, this is the picture restored by our bureau's technicians after capturing multiple images."

A middle-aged police officer in a police uniform led Su Xiyan and the others to the left into an office, where various professional equipment occupied most of the space.The young guy with glasses called Director Wang cautiously, and quickly called up a clear photo after adjustment.

In the photo, a woman in a dark blue wide coat is wearing a dark mask, bending over timidly. The light from the store hits her face, revealing the upper half of her skin, which is completely different from normal human skin.

Her eyes are lively and radiant, but under the light, they are a pair of carved eyes.

"Xiao Song, take the comparison chart."

"Yes." Officer Xiao Song quickly clicked on the folder, and selected the picture he had captured from a bunch of pictures.

It was a photo taken before the woodcarving disappeared. The angle coincided with the angle at which the woman raised her head. When the picture was enlarged, the two pairs of eyes looked exactly the same.

"I compared these two pairs of eyes from the way of engraving, and the final result is that every arc can be perfectly coincident, without any deviation. This is the picture I made after swapping their eyes, and the result It still looks the same."

Police officer Xiao Song released dozens of comparison pictures that were analyzed and adjusted from different directions. No matter what direction you look at, you can't see the difference.

The wrinkles between Director Wang's brows deepened slightly. This old director who had always been serious and had more than 30 years of criminal police experience flashed a trace of melancholy on his face, and he returned to normal in a blink of an eye, turning his head to look at Cui Zhao and the others.

This case is obviously not an ordinary case. According to past experience and current situation, it will be directly handed over to comrades in those special departments.But thinking of the young looks of these two comrades, he still couldn't help feeling a little worried.

These young people should be able to handle it, right?

Su Xiyan pretended not to see the lingering worry on Director Wang's face. He clicked on the pictures and compared them with the information he had collected before.

The name of the award-winning woodcarving is "Sorrowful Girl". Although the name is sad, the woodcarving itself is not crying.In this regard, the sculptor has ingeniously carved a standing woman with her hands clasped behind her back and her eyes staring sadly ahead.

As if bound by something, sad and helpless but stubbornly unwilling to bow to it.

This exquisite craftsmanship of giving emotions to dead objects amazed the judges, and the photos of the woodcarving competition also attracted the amazement of many netizens. The champion laurels are in the bag.

When Su Xiyan first saw those photos, she was also amazed, but after the astonishment faded, what was left was an indescribable disgust.

It wasn't the distaste for the wood carving itself, but it seemed that he had seen a past evil deed, but he couldn't do anything for her.

If the wood carvings have spirits, is she trying to tell them something?

"This wood carving is newly carved, and it won't be more than a year old. She doesn't accept many human beliefs, so it's impossible for her to accumulate enough strength."

"Xiao Su, get ready, this is our job."

Cui Zhao took a few glances and decided on the matter.

Su Xiyan responded, and he got up to share the information with police officer Xiao Song. Where no one else saw, he grabbed the soft flesh of Cui Zhao's waist and twisted it clockwise.

This guy always has a lot of strange names recently. When he is instructing him to work, he will call him Xiaosu, and at other times he will call him anything, such as Yanyan, baby, dear...

Hearing Su Xiyan's back tremble, he almost wanted to sacrifice the magic weapon Xue Sanniang gave him to greet him.

Dongsi Road, villa area.

Director Wang, who was worried, sent someone to take them to the scene for investigation. The other police officers here have not been completely evacuated, and some of them are still searching nearby.

Except for the surveillance filmed when the doll was shopping in the store in the middle of the night, she was not photographed at any other intersections, as if she disappeared after that.

"Comrade police, I really don't know anything. This is a 24-hour convenience store. There are a lot of people who come to buy things in the middle of the night, and we won't pay special attention to them."

"I made the transcript, and I can say that I have already said it. That night, she came in for a few minutes, bought something and left. I didn't think much about it at the time, and I felt something was wrong when I thought about it afterwards. "

"Comrade police, tell me, is it really that thing that came that night?"

"What is it?" Cui Zhao walked over and sat in front of the clerk, picked up the record book he just picked up at the police station, and tapped on the table.

"Superstitious thoughts are bad. The girl is just a little rough. What do you think?"

"Come on, come on, I'll make another record, and no one will find you for the time being."

Behind him, Su Xiyan pulled away the bewildered little policeman, handed out the government certificates of the two of them, explained a few words softly, and the two sides quickly completed the handover of work.

"She just bought a lighter and left without buying anything else?"

"No, I asked at the time, and she said that it was enough for her to just buy this. Then she walked up this road. Comrade police, you should be able to find out where she went on the surveillance camera, right? "

"Yes, but I won't tell you."

Cui Zhao scribbled down a few notes in a small notebook, then pointed to the road the clerk just mentioned and asked.

"Go up there, where are you going?"

"Hey, where else can we go? Isn't that the villa area over there? When you walk up, you will find small bungalows one by one. The house prices inside are so expensive that I can't even afford one square meter. By the way, if you don't turn around and go straight If you go to the end, you should be able to reach Peng's house."

"The Peng family?"

"Yes, it's the one who bought the woodcarving. It seems that the family runs a company, but they are rich."

Cui Zhao's eyes could only see the house at the end of the sharp road for a while, and then returned calmly.

"Okay, thank you, you can continue to work."

*****

"Xiao Su, let's go to the scene to get a certificate?"

When Cui Zhao put up his hand, Su Xiyan was handing over the information. He took a copy of the monitoring situation that had been investigated in the vicinity, as well as the information and transcripts of the persons involved.

Among them, there is one piece of information that he is very concerned about. Peng Yunlai, that is, the wealthy businessman who bought the woodcarving, just sent his son to study abroad a few days ago.His son is just in the third year of junior high school this year, and he didn't pass the high school entrance examination. Why did he send the child away in a hurry?

This is suspicious and requires further investigation.

Su Xiyan made a circle in her little notebook, and then Cui Zhao's face just came over to take a look, and asked the young policeman opposite him seriously if he had a police car?

The villa area is too far away, too far to walk, there are no buses, and taxis are not enough, so I can only use the police transportation tool, which is convenient and quick.

Police Boy: ...

There is no one with four wheels, but there is one with two wheels.

To be honest, the police motorcycle that was temporarily borrowed due to the shortage of vehicles is actually quite cool.

With the sound of the gas pedal, Cui Zhao took Su Xiyan and drove along that road. The various villas with various painting styles along the way are really enviable.

How should I put it, each of them is almost the goal of many people's dreams.

The basic structure of the house is the same, but the decoration style is different, there are European style and Chinese style, and even Su Xiyan saw a dreamy fairy tale series, it is estimated that the parents of that house love their children very much.

The Peng family's house is also a very typical European style. Before Su Xiyan had time to take a second look, she found a black smoke and dust floating straight up along the roof of their house, and the fire could be faintly seen from the window of the house.

Cui Zhao cursed in a low voice, stopped at the door, picked up the phone and dialed 119.

The fire should have just started, burning from the third floor, but it may be because there are more flammable materials in the house, and the fire spread quickly.

Su Xiyan found a metal sprinkler that gardeners used to water the garden, and asked loudly while spraying water.

It is understood that Peng Yunlai and his wife usually have jobs, so they will not be in the house at this time, but there will be aunts to clean and so on. I hope there is no one there at this time.

Otherwise, judging from the speed at which the fire spread, it would probably be out of control by the time the firefighters arrived.

The high-pressure water gun in his hand was still sizzling, but he couldn't suppress the flames at all. Even Su Xiyan, who had never been in contact with fire, felt something was wrong.

The fire must have burned too fast.

"Cui Zhao, this fire is not right."

Su Xiyan circulated a little spiritual power into the eyes, maximizing the ability of the yin and yang eyes.At the bottom of the flames engulfing the house, there was a faint blue-white color. The flames in these colors seemed to be igniters, quickly helping the flames to spread.

"I know."

Cui Zhao frowned, stretched out his hand to condense into a dozen ice balls, and smashed them towards the place where the fire was most intense, slightly suppressing the fire, but the symptoms were not cured, and it soon became vigorous again.

"There's something inside, if you don't suppress that thing, the fire won't go out."

Su Xiyan responded, pulled the water gun around, and wanted to see the room behind.Before he reached the end, he heard a scream behind him.

"My God, it's on fire!"

The aunt with the vegetable basket stumbled over.

"Save people, save people quickly!"

"There are still people inside, and Peng Sheng is still inside, hurry up and save them!"

Is there anyone else upstairs?

Su Xiyan raised his head, and heard a crisp sound in his ears, and the whole French window on the third floor suddenly shattered and fell directly towards him.

"Be careful."

Without thinking about it, Cui Zhao threw away the things in his hands, rushed over and hugged Su Xiyan, then rolled to the side, the two rolled over twice on the ground, and rolled to the ground on one side.

Glass shards smashed all over the ground, Cui Zhao covered Su Xiyan under his body to avoid those flying glass shards.

And then, boom—

The scorched and charred corpse fell from the upstairs, just hitting the middle of the glass shards, and the bright red color gradually spread.It was a very young boy, wearing a blue school uniform, his eyes were wide open, he was staring straight ahead, and there was a weird smile on his mouth.

On his right arm, a large number one is engraved.

This is the first one?
