Around

This was Shentucheng's first visit to the so-called "Criminal Investigation Brigade", and it was different from what he had imagined.There is no majestic modern building, but an old house.It is even dilapidated, and there is an indescribable feeling in the night.It seems that a lot of things have been deposited, time, memory, and resentment.Under the hissing yellow light bulbs, Shentucheng felt that he could even see them flowing in the space, wisps of gray smoke-like things.

"Be careful." Lian Qiao suddenly whispered, "This place is not clean."

Shen Tucheng smiled unconsciously, paused, and asked tentatively, "Can you see it too?"

Lian Qiao raised her head abruptly, her expression extremely surprised: "Can you see it? When did it happen?"

"It was invisible at first." Shentucheng scratched his head, "I can vaguely see some of it since you woke up in the supermarket." I couldn't help but glance at the gray "silk thread" in the air, "Now it's more It’s clear, it seems like we can touch it.”

Lian Qiao also pursed her lips, lowered her head and stopped talking.Something flashed quickly in his eyes, and Shen Tucheng saw it - it was a touch of water color.

At that moment, there was water flowing in Lian Qiaoye's eyes, and Shen Tucheng felt inexplicably familiar.When he wanted to get a better look, Gao Jie suddenly turned around and said with a straight face, "You are not allowed to talk after entering the corridor." He took a special look at Shentucheng and emphasized, "Except for breathing and walking, don't make any noise. .”

Shen Tucheng felt a little uncomfortable. The commanding tone of the little police officer in front of him made his brows wrinkle suddenly, and a strange thought appeared in his mind - it shouldn't be like this.No one can order him, suppress him, resist him.Those who are disobedient should be killed.Anger rushed into his chest as if he couldn't suppress it, and just when they were about to erupt, he suddenly heard someone beside him whispering, "Listen to him."

The sound is not loud, and it sounds very light in such a silent midnight, for a second.After saying this sentence, Lian Qiao didn't speak again, but the simple four words were heard in Shen Tucheng's ears word by word.Taking a deep breath and slowly calming down the flame in his chest, Shen Tucheng nodded to Gao Jie.

Gao Jie glanced at Shentucheng thoughtfully, then turned and pushed open the door of the old house.

It was not until he actually entered the house that Shentucheng felt that this was indeed a police station—on the slightly low ceiling, there were incandescent lamps every few steps. I don’t know what brand it was. The light bulbs were small but abnormal. Bright, with some faint blue light.

On both sides of the corridor are densely packed small rooms.The left row is a row of iron doors, and the right row is a row of wooden doors.There is a small sign hanging on each door. Shentu City walks all the way to see, monitoring room, interrogation room, evidence room, laboratory... The faint blue light falls on the iron door, and then reflects to the corresponding wooden door. The door, after looking at it for a long time, my head became dizzy.

The mid-air was covered with gray threads, some fell on the wall, and some wandered around the four of them.Shen Tucheng quietly followed behind Gao Jie, only the sound of breathing and footsteps remained in his ears.He felt that the corridor seemed endless, and gradually, the three of them seemed to be far away from him.Something was pressing on Shentucheng's back little by little, and his feet were so heavy that he couldn't move. He lowered his head and saw a thick layer of gray silk on the ground, which had covered his insteps.

The things on his back were getting heavier and heavier, and he didn't need to look back to know that it must be a thick layer of gray silk. Shen Tucheng opened his mouth, but when he thought of Gao Jie's words, he closed his mouth again.

Huh, huh, huh... He heard his own breathing, which became heavier and heavier.The light-reflecting iron door reflected him, his eyes protruding slightly, his large mouth showing white teeth... ugly, he thought, like a fish out of water, or a beast about to drown.His body could no longer bear the weight, his legs bent, and he fell forward uncontrollably.

At this moment, a pair of arms firmly supported him.Very slender, but also very powerful.Shen Tucheng felt relieved, he raised his head with effort, taking Lian Qiaoye's worries into his eyes.

Lian Qiao also obviously noticed the gray silk pressing on Shentucheng's body.His eyes darkened, and Shentucheng saw the darkness in the opponent's eyes—that was a raging wave that could swallow everything.

Just like in the supermarket, in an instant, all the gray silks bounced away as if seeing a natural enemy, and disappeared at a speed that the naked eye could not keep up with.

The feeling of being out of breath disappeared, Shentucheng straightened up, saw that Lian Qiao also made a gesture of silence towards him, and pointed to the gray silk thread reappearing in a dark corner - they disappeared only a few days ago Seconds, it appeared again so quickly!

Fortunately, Gao Jie quickly found his destination.He stopped in front of an iron door, glanced at Lian Qiaoye with some hesitation, and seeing that she looked normal, he took out a bronze key.Shen Tucheng noticed that the keyhole of this door was in the shape of a "*", and a small black stone was embedded below it, Gao Jie seemed to repel it.

Liu Xia seemed to have noticed Gao Jie's discomfort, took the key and opened the door, and quickly pulled him in.

The space inside the door is larger than it looks from the outside. A few desks are placed randomly, with some dust on them, and it looks like they are not often used.A large dark red wooden cabinet was placed directly opposite the door. The door was tightly closed with a brass lock on it.

Shen Tucheng didn't care to observe these things, he opened his mouth and said to Lian Qiaoye: "You seem to be different in some way." He had never done such a hasty talk to a woman before, like a young boy, impulsive and rude.But he just couldn't wait to know—the Lian Qiao in front of him was not the one he was familiar with, but it seemed to be the one he was most familiar with.

Lian Qiao only looked up at him, then quickly lowered her head.Shen Tucheng could only stare at the top of the opponent's head in a daze.

Gao Jie sat on the desk panting, Liu Xia unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it over: "Are you okay? Your complexion is not very good." Gao Jie shook his head, rested for a while, and said, "Let's get down to business first."

Liu Xia shrugged, followed Gao Jie's example and sat beside him, shaking her long legs, and said to the other two, "The stone on the door was picked from the threshold of the gate of hell. Not coming."

Gao Jie took a breath, and asked Shentucheng in a firm tone: "You can see those things, right?"

Shen Tucheng nodded, and heard Liu Xia say: "It is inevitable that there will be unclean things in the police station, such as morgues, murder weapon evidence, whoever tells me that I don't know which goblins are born in the files in which corners?" I can also believe that monsters are coming." At this point, he paused, sighed helplessly, and continued, "But it's too exaggerated to see it with the naked eye like now."

Shen Tucheng was a little confused. Did the "ghost monster" Liu Xia mentioned refer to those gray silks wandering in the corridor outside?Don't all police stations enshrine Guan Erye?Isn't Guan Erye a god?In a place blessed by gods, why are there these things?And it's so serious that everyone can see it?

"The location of this building is wrong." Lian Qiao also said softly, "The terrain here is relatively low, and all the water vapor goes here. Water belongs to Yin, breeds all things, and communicates between Yin and Yang." He glanced out of the window , she added, "The pattern of this police station is diamond-shaped, with strict entry and exit, and the north is yin, and the hostility cannot be dispelled."

"What's more, the morgue is also located here." Liu Xia said, "The office building in front is much higher than this building, and all the dirty things are locked here."

Shen Tucheng looked at the three of them and analyzed the terrain pattern one by one, and was a little puzzled for a while. Captain Gao insisted on asking them to come so forcefully, just to discuss Fengshui issues?

"Those things all appeared after Bai Lu's body disappeared," Gao Jie said.

Shen Tucheng wondered: "Hasn't Bai Lu been cremated?" At that time, she and Lian Qiao also attended her funeral, and they were accompanied by Liu Xia, and Gao Jie was also present.Bai's father was haggard, and Bai's mother was crying so hard, could it be true that what dozens of people saw with their own eyes could be true?

"Do you remember what Wang Shiwei said at the time?"

"Shiwei?" What's the matter with Shiwei?Shentucheng tried hard to recall——at Bailu's funeral, Shiwei's mental state was very poor, he even attacked himself, he said, "Go away! Don't pester Shentu!"...Me?haunt me?

"It needs your blood." Lian Qiao also said lightly from the side.

"In that case, just kill me," Shen Tucheng frowned tightly, "Why kill other people?"

"It needs your blood, and it needs to kill people." Lian Qiao also explained.There was no expression on her face, and even her tone of voice was much lower than before.If Lian Qiao was a fire wrapped in ice before, then in Shentucheng's eyes, she is a complete pool of water.The water in this pool is very deep, and Shentu City can't see the bottom.But he was sure he preferred water to fire.

"Think about it again, what else did Wang Shiwei say?" Liu Xia urged.

……

Die Xian's hand!

At that time, Wang Shiwei kept saying, "Hand! Hand! It's not her!"

Is it...

"Think again, who were the people you saw in the supermarket just now?" Gao Jie said.

Lin Bingbing, Zhou Ying, Chu Feiyan, Xiong Lingling.

No white dew.

Shentucheng made a bold assumption: "Could it be...that the cremated...wasn't Bailu?"

"We have reason to believe so."

"So, the only clue now is Wang Shiwei." Liu Xia put an arm on Gao Jie, looking a little tired.

"But he..."

"Do you know where the most heavily guarded place in City W is?"

Shen Tucheng shook his head.

Liu Xiaban leaned on Gao Jie and said with a smile, "Psychiatric hospital."
