Around

"Okay, I see, thank you." Liu Xia hung up the phone, turned around and said to the person sitting in a daze on the chair, "I just got the news that the police in W City found Zhou Ying's body in a hotel."

Gao Cong raised his eyebrows, and asked casually, "The autopsy report?"

"Preliminary judgment shows that the time of death is more than one month."

When Gao Cong heard this, he frowned instantly: "Aren't the hotel rooms cleaned every day? Why didn't I find out until now?"

In the past few years, Gao Cong has changed a lot. He no longer shouts and drinks like before, and even his expression is much less. "You look more and more like Qin Zijue." Liu Xia rolled his eyes at him and continued, "The body was stuck inside the wall. The weather in W City is too cold, the body didn't rot and stink. When she was found, there was not even a piece of corpse. No."

Get stuck in the wall?Then why was it discovered?

Seemingly seeing the question in Gao Cong's eyes, Liu Xia explained: "She was stuck in the wall behind the door, and no one would pay attention to that place... It's just that a guest who lived in yesterday inadvertently closed the door. Found hair growing in the wall."

Gao Cong noticed that Liu Xia used a verb: "Long?"

"Yes, long." Liu Xia nodded, "The cause of death was cardiac arrest, and it was preliminarily estimated that she was greatly frightened. However, the forensic doctor discovered a more interesting thing during the autopsy——Zhou Ying's hair was still There are signs of growth." The scientific explanation of this problem is this: when a person's cells die, then the person dies.But hair is not composed of cells, as long as the human body still contains calcium, then the hair can continue to grow for two to three months.

However, that only refers to ordinary human hair.Zhou Ying was stuck inside the wall, what kind of growth power can make a woman's thin and soft hair forcefully come out of the wall?Liu Xia imagined a wall with hair, and couldn't help shivering.

At this moment, City W received a fax.Liu Xia picked it up and looked at it, and the first thing that caught his eye was the wall with "grown" hairs—not a large area as he thought, but only a small handful, unless he was standing very close, he would rarely see it. Someone noticed.He handed the things in his hand to Gao Cong, and after the other party quickly browsed through it, he asked, "What do you think?"

Gao Cong didn't even think about it: "Look for Xu Xianzhou."

Liu Xia rolled her eyes: "Xu Jiujiu packed up his things and went on a long trip last month, and he hasn't been in touch yet." Otherwise, he was called here from the beginning.

"Look for Qin Zijue." The two of them stick together every day, finding him means finding Xu Xianzhou.

"That guy never carries a mobile phone." Liu Xia continued to roll his eyes.

"..."

"How? Who do you want next?"

"..."

"However, I discovered a pattern." Liu Xiaban leaned on the desk, crossed her long straight legs comfortably, "The day after Bai Lu's body was found, Xiong Lingling died. Xiong Lingling's As soon as the body was carried away in the morning, Chu Feiyan's body appeared in the garbage bag in the afternoon... Then, it was Zhou Ying."

"The time interval between the first three is so close, why is it a few days later when we arrive at Zhou Ying?" Gao Cong followed his train of thought to analyze, frowning tightly.

"Who said it was a few days later?"

"Her body is in W City. Even if she died on the night she arrived in W City, it was several days after the discovery of Chu Feiyan's body."

Liu Xia smiled: "Who said corpses can't travel?"

"What did you say?" Gao Cong said with a straight face, very dissatisfied with the other party's joke at this time.

"Don't forget, Bai Lu's body walked out by herself." Liu Xia's face darkened, but she laughed again at the next moment, "Sometimes I really don't understand you. You clearly believe in ghosts and gods, why? Can't you accept that Zhou Ying died before the trip?"

Gao Cong was obviously too lazy to argue: "Whatever you say."

"Okay, then do as I said." Liu Xia was not polite at all, "Now that Zhou Ying's body has appeared, does it mean..." The next person is already dead.

Who is the one?Lin Bingbing or even Qiaoye.

Thinking of this, Liu Xia quickly picked up the phone and dialed a series of numbers.

"Hey?"

Huh... Fortunately, she is fine.Liu Xia's hanging heart calmed down: "Are you okay?"

"Which aspect are you referring to?" Lian Qiaoye's cold voice came.

For some reason, Liu Xia really wanted to tease her: "I mean any aspect."

Lian Qiao was obviously not in his mood, "It's okay, I'll hang up." Without waiting for Liu Xia's reaction, he hung up the phone.

Gao Cong seemed to think that Liu Xia's smile was an eyesore: "Who are you calling?"

"The deceased has been identified." Liu Xia answered irrelevantly, "It's Lin Bingbing."

"Are you calling Lian Qiao?" Lian Qiao is fine, but Lin Bingbing has something to do.

"Yes."

Gao Cong glanced at Liu Xia: "You seem to like her very much."

"Can't you?" Liu Xia asked back with a smile.He has always been used to this captain.

Who knew that Gao Cong actually lowered his face this time, and said coldly: "No." Liu Xia was taken aback by his reaction, and looked at him stupidly, Gao Cong felt his cheeks were hot.He coughed and said solemnly: "She is also one of the suspects. As a police officer, you should restrain your behavior."

When did Lian Qiao become a suspect? !Liu Xia was dumbfounded.

"Anyway, you should stay away from her in the future." Gao Cong glared at Liu Xia, then hurried past her and walked out the door.

Liu Xia stopped him subconsciously: "Where are you going?"

"Case."

"What case?"

"..."

Liu Xia sighed and said, "Let's go, Xiao Lin just sent a message saying that the last place Lin Bingbing appeared was a supermarket."

The supermarket Liu Xia mentioned is located at the entrance of Pedestrian Street, one of the most prosperous areas in Z City.It was eight o'clock in the evening, and it was the busiest time for the pedestrian street.Pulling Gao Cong to sit down in a dessert shop in front of the supermarket, Liu Xia ordered four or five desserts in one go.

"Why don't you go in?" Gao Cong asked, frowning.

"It's full of people, what can I find when I go in now?" Liu Xia pushed a plate of shredded coconut pancakes to the opposite side, "Come, try it."

Gao Cong originally wanted to point his nostrils at the fool in front of him, but he couldn't resist the rich aroma of the pancakes.click.Well, crunchy, fragrant, delicious.He hadn't finished eating a plate here, and Liu Xia pushed another plate over there: "This is their signature dessert-strawberry cheese cheese." Gao Cong dug a spoonful and stuffed it into his mouth. The cheese melted quickly in the mouth, and the small strawberries wrapped in it rolled on the tip of the tongue, which was sour and neutralized the strong milk flavor of the cheese.Sweet and slightly sour, Gao Cong almost bit his own tongue.

It turns out that eating sweets can really make people happy.Unknowingly, the corner of Gao Cong's mouth curled into a small arc.

……

The two of you introduced me to eat, and they actually ate a big table full. Gao Cong patted his stomach and burped a little.There were only the two of them left in the small dessert shop, Liu Xia raised his hand and looked at his watch, it was 45:[-].

Waving for the waiter to check out, Liu Xia asked casually, "Are all the shops on this street closed at the same time?"

"Yes, the Pedestrian Street Management Office requires the doors to close on time at twelve o'clock."

When paying the bill, Gao Cong noticed that Liu Xia only drank a cup of coffee from beginning to end, and touched his nose in embarrassment: "Next time I will treat you."

Liu Xia smiled: "Okay."

At twelve o'clock, all the shops, large and small, on the entire pedestrian street were closed.The street that was quiet for a moment became very long in Gao Cong's eyes.He had the illusion that the street was dead, gray and dilapidated, just like the ones he had seen in the underworld—

Thoughts flew back to that time uncontrollably.

The giant black snake rolled up Qin Zijue and dragged him into the final crack.Xu Xianzhou stood on the ground crack and watched quietly. When he was completely out of sight, he looked back at Gao Cong who was lying on the ground, and stuffed a piece of snake scale into his hand.

He just watched from the sidelines.He stood there quietly, seeing that Yuyoung was really crazy, seeing Gu Panzhi's helplessness, seeing Xu Xianzhou's calculations, seeing Qin Zijue's affection... He saw everything in his eyes, but he didn't People see him.

It seems that since a long time ago, he has been used to silence.

"Aren't you going?" Xu Xianzhou said suddenly.

Walk?How to go?

Xu Xianzhou said, "As long as you want."

"Tell me how."

Xu Xianzhou pointed to Gao Cong who was unconscious, and said, "Go to his body."

This is indeed a good method. He and Gao Cong are one.The scale that Xu Xianzhou stuffed into Gao Cong's hand was a life-saving talisman, as long as it was there, he would definitely be able to keep his body.It's just... His soul has been separated, is there a chance to go back?

Xu Xianzhou still said: "As long as you want."

"What about the future?" What will happen in the future?

"You and Gao Cong can only live as one."

……

Yes, in the end it was exactly as he said.He returned to the underworld with a physical body, but Gao Cong was lost in the underworld.

He is Gao Jie, the twin brother of Gao Cong who died in his mother's womb. Thirty years later, he has the body of his brother.He lives in his brother's house, meets his brother's friends, and replaces his brother's job... He can look up at the sky with human eyes, touch food with human fingertips, and enjoy delicious food with human tongue... But, he unhappy.He is not himself, not Gao Jie.He became Gao Cong.

"What's wrong?" Liu Xia asked beside him.

"It's okay." Gao Jie cheered up and asked, "Did you get the key?"

Liu Xia waved the long bunch of keys in her hand triumphantly: "Of course."

...This person, if he became a thief, he might already be a millionaire.Gao Jie pressed his forehead: "Go in."
