Around

Liu Xia took Gao Jie around the supermarket and turned into a small alley next to it: "There are surveillance cameras on the pedestrian street, let's go in through the warehouse."

Gao Jie glared at Liu Xia: "Did you investigate it long ago?"

Liu Xia said with a smile: "As the vice-captain, of course I have to solve your worries and problems for the captain."

"Including everything, I'm the last to know?" Gao Jie snorted.

"Of course I have to be fully prepared. It is also my duty to protect the captain's safety." Liu Xia said as he pushed open the door of the warehouse, moved in lightly, looked around, and then grabbed Gao Jie's hand The person pulled in, and a series of movements were made silently.

Gao Jie shook off his hand and asked in a low voice, "Is there anyone on duty here at night?"

"There are two security guards, but they are in the front lounge, so you won't bump into them this way."

"You also understand the patrol time."

"The first time was after the supermarket closed, and it is probably over now. The second time is two hours later."

I have to admit that although Liu Xia looks unreliable, he does everything seamlessly, and no one can find a single fault from the beginning to the end - if only he could be more serious, Gao Jie couldn't help thinking.

In the quiet space, there was a cool air from far to near, brushing the back of his neck one by one, Gao Jie shrank his neck.

There is a kind of ghost in the underworld, they like to guard deserted roads or bridges, tricking people to carry them for a while.Because they often appear in the form of old people, children or women, they can often be obtained.When people walk with them on their backs, they lie on the person's back and blow cool air on the person's neck.At this time, if the person who is carrying them expresses that he does not want to carry them anymore and puts them down, then that person will never want to get rid of them for the rest of his life—they will follow him forever, lying on his back non-stop. Blow cool air, and will not leave until the moment of that person's death.

Maybe because he stayed in the human body for too long, Gao Jie began to instinctively reject those things he couldn't see.In the past, even if he encountered bloody and terrifying ghosts, he would not even frown, because he was the same as them.But now, he is already a person, he has a physical body, and he can no longer see the same kind as before.

"A small freezer is set up here." Liu Xia's voice came, "Passing through these shelves is the raw food section of the supermarket."

Gao Jie nodded, forced himself to suppress the discomfort in his heart, and walked forward quickly.

"Be careful, there are a lot of debris here, don't get tripped over." Liu Xia reminded from behind, seeing Gao Jie turned a deaf ear, and added, "It's hard to explain the security guards."

This trick really worked, Gao Jiewu stopped and urged impatiently: "Hurry up, do you think there is still plenty of time?" Having said that, his movements were much lighter.

Liu Xiaman said indifferently: "The police officer's certificate will open the way, at worst, I will go directly to the manager here tomorrow."

"What did you say?" Gao Jie gritted his teeth, "Say, 'The police suspect that there are living corpses here, please cooperate with the investigation'?"

"Why not?"

"If we can do this," Gao Jie squeezed his fist and said word by word, "What's the point of us getting in so late?" This bastard, will he die if he misses raising the bar once?Obviously knowing that the death order from above cannot cause social panic, knowing that everything must be done in secret, and clearly understanding the seriousness of the matter better than anyone else, why is there such an irresponsible attitude?

At this moment, Liu Xia suddenly made a movement.A memory belonging to Gao Cong flashed in his mind, and Gao Jie knew that it was the first code he learned in the police academy—be quiet, someone is there.

The two fell silently on the ground for a moment, and Gao Jie followed Liu Xia's example and controlled his own breathing.The warehouse was very quiet, and Gao Jie didn't see anything through the layers of shelves.In such a dark environment, he had to focus all his attention on listening—the other party was extremely agile.If it wasn't for Liu Xia, he might easily let people get close to him.For some reason, a swift and fierce black panther appeared in Gao Jie's mind.The pure black fur gave it the best cover in the dark. Its slender and powerful limbs landed lightly on the ground, and it was approaching its prey little by little...Suddenly, it pounced violently, The sharp teeth were aimed at the neck of the prey... Gao Jie couldn't help but shivered, he was sensitively aware that a threatening aura was approaching.

The cold air penetrated into Gao Jie's neckline, he heard the sound of air sliding, but he never saw anything.This vague threat tormented him to the point of madness.Liu Xia held him down and made a gesture - hold your breath.

Gao Jie clenched his teeth—dangerous!

Don't move, just wait.Liu Xia gestured quickly.Just when he finished his last move, Gao Jie jumped up...

"Captain!" Liu Xia shouted.

"Shut up!" Gao Jie gasped, strangling his neck with one hand forcefully, he felt it was difficult to breathe, "I caught him..."

In desperation, Liu Xia turned on the emergency light, and a dazzling beam of light shone towards the assailant——

"Shen Tu?!"

Shen Tucheng was taken aback, and immediately let go of his hand: "Is it you?" He looked at Gao Jie who was squatting on the ground and coughing, "Sorry, I didn't know it was you."

Liu Xia helped Gao Jie up and let him lean on her body: "Fortunately, it was him, if it was someone else, you would have strangled him to death."

"The dark environment will make me nervous." Shen Tucheng smiled and apologized again, "Captain Gao, I'm sorry."

Gao Jie waved his hand to express his indifference: "You, ahem, why are you here?"

"Because of this." Shen Tucheng took out a letter and a key from his pocket and handed them over.

The content of the letter is very short, with only three parts. The first part is an overhead view of the pedestrian street, in which the location of the supermarket is painted with a big red star, and the alley leading into the warehouse is painted in red.The second part is handwritten: February 2, 25:01.The third part is Lian Qiaoye's signature.

Liu Xia handed the letter to Gao Jie for review, then lowered his head and meditated—obviously, the letter was to lure Shen Tucheng into the supermarket.But why today?Why at this point in time?Looking at the handwriting of the last two parts, it should be written by the same person. If that person is Lian Qiaoye, why would she do this?

Does she know something?

After reading the letter, Gao Jie asked, "When did you receive this letter?"

"Eight o'clock in the evening." Shen Tucheng replied.

"Lian Qiao personally handed it to you?"

"No, it was on my bed when I got back to the dorm."

Gao Jie thought for a while, then asked, "What time did you get here?"

"A little." Shentucheng has always treated girls with grace, so he always arrives early and never late.

"Did you see anything when you came in?"

"No."

"Don't you find it strange?" Gao Jie frowned, "Appointment here so late."

Shen Tucheng was about to answer, when Liu Xia suddenly "shushed".He pointed to the entrance, and the other two looked there together—the light.Walking out of the warehouse is the raw food section of the supermarket. Gao Jie looked at his watch. It was [-]:[-], and it was not time for security patrols.

Who is there?

The three quickly walked to the door in tacit understanding, Liu Xia winked at the two of them, and gently pushed open a small gap——

drink!

Gao Jie gasped.

What did he see?

He saw a supermarket full of people.

It is not surprising that the supermarket is full of people. The problem is that it is past midnight and the supermarket is already closed... It is self-evident what these "people" are.

It's not that Gao Jie has never seen a ghost. In fact, he has seen many more ghosts of various colors in the underworld than these, but he has never seen such a ghost.

The human body is used to gather the three souls and seven souls. When the body dies, the soul also disappears.Usually, the "ghost" that people perceive is just a "spirit" left in the world because of an obsession or nostalgia. The soul will only act according to the obsession, and it uses the simplest method.For example, if it wants a person to die, it will push him while that person is waiting to cross the road.It's a very straightforward way, even considered stupid if done by humans, but it's all the more terrifying because people can't see it.However, the soul has no wisdom.They seldom have expressions, they are like a programmed machine, and people with a little positive energy can avoid them.

But the "soul" is different.It is intelligent, it retains all the intelligence it had in life, and it lacks nothing except its body.This is scary.This means that it can kill human beings in various ways with impunity.

It is precisely because of its horror that the "souls" left in the world will be forcibly sent to the gate of hell.

But now, what Gao Jie sees is the "soul" of the entire supermarket.There are men and women, old and young, groups of three and four, and some alone. They carry baskets and push carts, walking around the supermarket just like humans.

Gao Jie couldn't help but come up with an idea - when he was shopping in the supermarket, could the person he passed by him be a ghost instead of a human?

Could it be that after turning around a row of shelves, the ghost turned around and followed the person, following him home?

"Look there." Liu Xia pointed to a group of girls who were picking raw meat.

"It's Lin Bingbing..." Shen Tucheng recognized them, "There are also Zhou Ying, Chu Feiyan, and Xiong Lingling."

"No," Liu Xia reminded in a deep voice, "Look carefully."

……

Even coincidence!

Shentucheng saw Lian Qiaoye.She was lying in the freezer with her hands clasped in front of her chest, her face was pale.Zhou Ying stood closest to her, she opened her mouth, and her bright red tongue hung down long.The long tongue like a snake letter hooked Lian Qiaoye's face, Chu Feiyan gave a strange laugh, and the long and pointed nails were about to pierce Lian Qiaoye's eyes...

"Stop!" Shen Tucheng yelled.

In an instant, the scene in the supermarket disappeared, and all the "souls" disappeared. Gao Jie looked around vigilantly, but he didn't notice anything different, and finally he was relieved.

And Shen Tucheng and Liu Xia had already rushed to the freezer, "How is it?" Liu Xia asked anxiously holding the emergency light.

Shen Tucheng was silent for a while, and said, "There is no heartbeat."

……how so……

For the first time, a bewildered expression appeared on Liu Xia's face. Looking at Liu Xia like this, Shen Tucheng was about to hand over Lian Qiao in his arms to the other party, when suddenly, a cold hand grabbed him.
