Purifier

In the school monitoring room, Mo Ling was staring at the screen, his eyes did not blink for a long time, and the whites of his eyes were a little bloodshot.

It was a monitoring probe located outside the cafeteria. Although the glass windows of the cafeteria are almost covered with green slime, it is difficult to see the internal situation from the outside, but the computer control of the camera orientation by the school security department has been adjusted to the best angle. , just looking at a small piece of glass that was not covered by the mucus, I saw the chef sitting on a table in the center of the cafeteria, with two students sitting on the chair beside him, and I couldn't see it any further.

From the analysis on the screen, it is not obvious that there is a big crisis. It is just an adult and a few children sitting quietly in the cafeteria. However, Mo Ling sensed their spiritual outlook. They are stronger than yesterday. As a result of the concentration of scattered spiritual power, from 21 to 6, their power has grown exponentially.

However, Mo Ling can't use force against them now, because the evil spirit's body still hasn't appeared.

The serious crime team is discussing the rescue plan nearby.

One of the police officers suggested to Zheng Yiming: "Captain, I don't think the chef has a murder weapon in his hand, so let's force a breakthrough."

Another police officer objected: "No, didn't you hear the chef shouting before, if you dare to approach the cafeteria, they will all die! Moreover, we checked the cafeteria before and found nothing. It took less than 10 minutes. Don't you think it's weird that they just appear there like magic tricks?"

Several police officers looked at each other in blank dismay, not daring to speak casually.They all knew very well that the six people inside appeared as if in a space shift, although none of them could tell the reason.

Zheng Yiming said: "Now, our colleagues are guarding outside the cafeteria, and the negotiators are also shouting inside. Although the chef refuses to say anything, the situation is at least stable, and none of us can act rashly. Bureau Lu explained Yes, no student should be allowed to harm his life."

While listening to their discussion, Mo Ling observed the situation in the cafeteria, his brows knit together, and he pressed his hands hard on the edge of the table.

"Mr. Mo, let's have a cup of tea!"

Mo Ling turned his head and saw a woman handing him a cup of freshly brewed tea, and he took the cup: "Thank you...I think I've seen you before?"

"En." The woman nodded, "My name is Zhang Xiaohui, and I'm Mu Jue's class teacher. You are his cousin, I often see you pick him up and drop him off. Among the students who were kidnapped, there was also one in my class named Zhao. Qing is Mu Jue's deskmate. Mu Jue also fainted before, but luckily he just fainted from fright."

Mo Ling just wanted to find someone who was familiar with the school to inquire about the situation. That Principal Wang was already unreliable, and this Teacher Zhang seemed to have a brain.

"I have a question. The location of your cafeteria seems to be a bit out of the way. It's a bit far from the teaching building and student dormitory. Is it inconvenient for students to eat?" Mo Ling asked.

In fact, he discovered this problem when he entered the school just now, and the overall impression given to him by the school is that no inch of land that can be used for building buildings, erecting monuments, and image projects is wasted. Here, I didn't see a garden along the way, and there were even few green trees.

Zhang Xiaohui said: "It used to be a residential area for retired workers, and it was originally a small vegetable garden."

Mo Ling's thoughts gradually became clear. The student in the hospital said that Principal Wang occupied someone else's house, and it seemed that this was what he was talking about.

He glanced at Principal Wang who had been sitting silently in the corner, and said, "So, your school took the land to repair the cafeteria, right?"

"We got the approval!" Principal Wang finally remembered to defend himself at this moment.

Mo Ling sneered, almost wanting to throw the principal into the cafeteria and let the chef crush him to death!

Zheng Yiming's cell phone rang again, and this time, the unshakable person also yelled in surprise: "What are you talking about! Why is there one less! Keep an eye on me!"

After hanging up the phone, he walked up to Mo Ling, pointed to the surveillance screen, and said, "There are only 4 students here."

"?" Mo Ling didn't react for a while, "I can only see two people here."

Zheng Yiming pointed to the screen and explained to Mo Ling: "My people saw it with binoculars outside the cafeteria. Although the line of sight was partially blocked, a few students couldn't sit still and kept moving around. Look carefully, they passed The seats will be changed in a while, and don't you think their relationship with the chef is more...intimate?"

Mo Ling watched carefully for 2 minutes, and it was true that they were changing seats, but there were only 4 faces of the students who appeared on the screen, and one person never appeared from the beginning to the end.

"For this, what do you think from your professional point of view?" Zheng Yiming lowered his voice and asked Mo Ling.

Mo Ling pretended to be stupid: "I haven't been to college, and I don't have a major."

"The only one who believes in you is Lu Ju, and I have seen that you can't." Zheng Yiming sarcastically.

Mo Ling sneered again: "Sir Zheng, please don't just say that a man is 'no', and, I didn't take taxpayer's money, I understand my worth very well."

"Then I have no choice but to find a high-value colleague." Zheng Yiming turned and walked to the side, and dialed Lu Zhenbang's phone number: "Lu Bureau, there is a small situation here...well, I know...so, in order to Just in case, please call the SWAT team to stand by."

The paper cup in Mo Ling's hand fell to the ground with a "snap", and he looked at the screen in a daze, with an inescapable emotion in his eyes that seemed to be on the verge of the end of the world.

It wasn't until Mo Ling returned to normal that he realized that most of the serious crime team was no longer in the monitoring room, only one police officer was left guarding here, and Zhang Xiaohui was waiting for him to move aside with a broom to clean up the spilled debris on the ground. tea.

Mo Ling left the monitoring room on the grounds of checking the scene, and almost ran out.He just wanted to find a place to hide temporarily, and checking the scene was by the way.

He came to the cafeteria first, and several police cars and a group of police officers were waiting outside. The negotiators made various efforts, but they did not pass a word with anyone in the cafeteria. The final analysis showed that the students had already exhibited Stockholm Syndrome reaction.

Mo Ling did not object to him. It cannot be said that the students and the chef are actually controlled by an evil spirit. They are one, and the analysis of the experts is correct. There is no kidnapping. The students will not leave the chef to be rescued by the police. This is similar to Stockholm's performance.

Mo Ling didn't stay here too much, and it's really not easy for him to intervene in the police case, and the SWAT team will arrive soon, so in order to avoid running into someone he doesn't want to see, it's better for him to take the initiative to dodge first.

He walked along a main road ahead, observing the school environment.Although he often picks up Mu Jue, he seldom enters the school. In his memory, he came once last year. At that time, there were many flower beds or lawns in the school, but now he has not seen any of them.Both sides of the road are full of glass bulletin boards, on which are posted the glorious history of the school and the proud results of the college entrance examination. The original lawn was also removed and replaced with a statue of the school's founder.

The image promotion of the national model high school is really awesome!

Mo Ling walked all the way down, turned a corner, and saw a piece of soil that had just been dug loose, surrounded by uprooted flowers and trees. Mu Jue was squatting there with his eyes wide open, looking around, as if he was looking for something.

Mo Ling walked over and stood behind Mu Jue on the left. Seeing that the man had no sense at all, he patted him on the back and said, "Mu Jue! You are still not alert at all. Attack from behind! Isn't the school cleared, what are you still doing here, go back to me quickly."

Mu Jue stood up, rubbed his back, and said with aggrieved expression, "I'm helping you investigate the case."

"Investigating cases is the job of the police. You did it for them. Didn't I pay my taxes for nothing?" Mo Ling said, "The driver didn't overcharge you in the morning, did he?"

Mu Jue remembered that he fell asleep and was forcibly dragged out of the car from the back seat in the morning. He couldn't let Mo Ling know about his embarrassment, so he just shook his head, his big piercing eyes showed the innocence of a 16-year-old flower season .

Mo Ling knew that the driver didn't dare to make mistakes, so he smiled in satisfaction, and then he cared about the case: "Then what did you find by squatting here? Little Conan?"

"Oh... I didn't find anything." Mu Jue patted the dust on his hands, "I just felt some stirring spiritual energy here, but I couldn't find the source."

"Oh? There is also a problem here?" Mo Ling looked at the land, it seemed that it had just been dug, and the flowers and plants pulled out had not completely withered, probably because there was a big disturbance in the school in the past two days, so the work was suspended and no one took care of it.

Mo Ling bent down and rubbed the soil, and then picked up the flowers and plants that were about to die and inspected them, but he didn't notice any spiritual power.At this moment, a high-pitched voice sang.

[Little cabbage, the leaves are yellow...]

"Who is singing?" Mo Ling looked around, but found no one.

Mu Jue looked at him blankly and asked, "Where is someone singing, why didn't I hear it?"

"Can't you hear? He's singing Xiaobaicai!"

"I heard nothing."

Is he the only one who can hear it?Even if the ghost is singing, there is no reason why Mu Jue can't hear it.

Mo Ling remembered the little walnut yesterday morning, could it be...

He carefully identified the direction of the singing, the voice was very weak, as if floating up from the ground.He lowered his head and searched all the way, and finally found the sounding object in the upper right corner of the field - a small cabbage.

The cabbage was planted in the soft soil, but it fell down, probably because the workers hadn't had time to pull it out.

Most of its leaves have turned yellow, and its stems are thin and soft, trembling and moaning.

"It's singing." Mo Ling pointed to the little cabbage and said to Mu Jue.

"Ah... this little thing can also talk?" Mu Jue couldn't believe it. For a high school student, being able to see ghosts is already beyond the scope of the objective world. I didn't expect that there are plants that can become spirits.

The cabbage shook its leaves, rolled into an S shape for a while, and then rolled into a B shape for a while, and continued to sing: "Little cabbage, Ye Yeer..."

"Stop singing, it's out of tune." Mo Ling squatted down to help it press the soil tightly, and buried the exposed part of its roots in the soil to cover it.

Xiaobaicai shook the vegetable pole, and said in Xiaozhengtai's cute voice: "Thank you, am I dying?"

Mo Ling said: "No, of course, the premise is that no one will uproot you. How did you grow up here?"

The cabbage shook the tip of the leaf from side to side, and the outermost yellow leaf fell off. It was lost in an instant, and the leaves fell around, saying: "We used to be in a vegetable field, Later, the school built the canteen and occupied the land, so we ran here. It used to be a small garden, but I didn’t expect to use it to build a publicity stone tablet for those investors who paid a lot of school construction fees. Now there is no place to go. , you see, those flowers are all dead there, and next is me."

"You said 'we'? Do you have any compatriots?" Mo Ling asked.

"Yes, it's Wowo!" After saying this, Xiaobaicai became energetic again, and the vegetable pole stood up straight again.

"Who is Wowo?" Mo Ling should have already guessed, and the answer is ready to come out.

Xiaobaicai said with pride: "It's Brother Lettuce!"

Sure enough, you little bastards are messing around!If you want to do it, let's do it with that bastard principal surnamed Wang, who almost killed 20 students, and now there are still 5 hanging.

Mo Ling's patience had reached its limit: "Hurry up and tell me what that lettuce did! Otherwise, I'll shoot you dead."

Xiaobaicai rolled the leaves into a heart shape, and said in a shy tone: "Wowo, he is very strong, with a thick waist, and the emerald green leaves are big and long, always stretching out on my head Protecting me from the wind and rain, and pushing all the nutrients in the soil to my side, as a result, he only walked for two days, and I was tanned by the sun..."

"Get to the point!" Mo Ling's patience completely collapsed, it was like talking to a three-year-old child!

"What I'm talking about is the point! Wowo, he..." Xiaobaicai raised his voice, before finishing a sentence, he choked on himself, "That day, a chef passed by here and pulled him out. Wowo said , he can finally avenge his dead compatriots, he must keep this little garden."

Mo Ling finally sorted out all the clues. The chef brought the lettuce back to the kitchen, and then injected the spirit of resentment into the bodies of 20 students through the dish he made.He should not have reached the point of becoming a spirit, so he can't deal with Principal Wang directly, and can only possess the human body through physical contact.

Mu Jue was dumbfounded and asked in surprise, "What did that little cabbage say?"

"Most of them are nonsense. In short, it is a mystery caused by a lettuce." Mo Ling stood up, looking confident, as if the case had been solved, and then it was time for him to show how brave and invincible he was.

"Oh." Looking at the little cabbage, Mu Jue seemed to understand it, but he didn't seem to understand it very well. He opened his schoolbag, took out a bottle of water, and asked, "Do you want a drink?"

The cabbage shook the leaves back and forth.

Mu Jue opened the bottle cap and poured out some of the liquid inside, moistened the soil at the roots, and sprinkled some on the leaves.

The cabbage shook the leaves comfortably, and suddenly trembled all over again.

"What's wrong with it? Did you drink too much?" Mu Jue asked Mo Ling.

Mo Ling looked at the bottle in Mu Jue's hand, and said with a smile: "It said, you poisoned him, this thing is sour and sweet."

Mu Jue looked at the bottle in his hand, it said "O bubble fruit milk"...
