Urban Night Returner

The matter of Yuren was finally resolved, but Lu Jin's case fell into a stalemate for a while.Although the simulated portraits have been released, after all, it is not an ordinary criminal case that can be directly drawn and wanted. Although Binhai City is not a big city, it has a large population. Only three or four of Shen Gu and the others cannot be arrested. Find these two people out of the vast crowd.

Shen Gu looked at his watch, it was four o'clock.In the past few days, they have been searching the whole city for Ya Zi, and they haven't returned home before nine o'clock for several days.It happened to be near Taitung at the moment, so he called Xiao Heizi and Liu Wu to go home and rest, then turned around and went to the clinic to pick up Zhong Lecen.

Xiao Lai opened the door for him.Because he came here often now, Zhong Lecen directly engraved a static amulet on the door frame, so as to save him from jumping around when he entered the door.Xiao Lai smiled when he saw him, and whispered, "There is a guest who hasn't left yet, Brother Le Cen is talking to her."

In fact, he didn't need to say it, Shen Gu had already heard it.The door was not separated from the sound, and he heard a woman's voice outside the door, but it would be more clear: "...Really, I don't know how it will be fine as soon as I get to you, I often feel like this at home." , took it out for a walk, suddenly seemed to be terrified, and kept trembling."

Zhong Lecen was holding a little teddy in his hands, and while listening to the woman's anxious narration, she frowned and thought: "This is not sick, definitely not. I have already checked, Beibei is in good health and there is nothing wrong with it. Mrs. Zhang, you Are you sure it's not scared?"

The woman shook her head affirmatively: "Looking at it, I thought it was frightened at first. But then I took it out when there was no one around, and it was still the same. What do you mean by frightening? There is no one and there is no big movement, can you Scared by what?

"Not necessarily. Sometimes dogs are like this. Even if we look at insignificant things, dogs may be afraid. After all, they are different from us. So, let me go to your house to have a look, Can you take Beibei for a walk and let me have a look?" Zhong Lecen saw Shen Gu walking in after saying this, and said, "Why are you here?"

"Come here to pick you up." Shen Gu nodded to the woman as a greeting, "Want to go out?"

"Oh, I have to go to Mrs. Zhang's house to see, Bei Bei always does this and it doesn't work."

"I'm with you."

The woman lives in a high-end residential area that has just been built, and because it is not full of people, the environment looks more elegant.The green area is large, and there is also an artificial lake, which is said to be flowing water from a nearby river, which is much cleaner and more beautiful than those completely closed artificial lakes.The woman followed the usual route of walking the dog, leading the puppy to walk in the community.At first the puppy was fine, but after walking halfway, the puppy showed a shrinking look and was unwilling to go again.The woman dragged it and walked a few more steps. The puppy suddenly broke free from the leash, and hid behind the woman with its tail between its legs, biting her trousers and pulling back forcefully.

"Bei Bei, Bei Bei?" The woman bent over helplessly and tried to hug the dog, but the dog avoided the hug and still pulled the woman back, whining in a low voice, but did not dare to make a loud noise.Shen Gu looked up, and there was an artificial lake in front of him.At this time, there were only a few old people walking in circles and talking by the lake.

"It's always been like this?" Shen Gu narrowed his eyes slightly.

The woman was helplessly dragged back by the dog: "Yes. But it wasn't like this before. I used to like this lake, and I had fun running around the lake every day. During this period of time, I was afraid when I saw it. At first I heard that there was What kind of hydrophobia, I thought it had this disease. Later, Xiao Zhong, you said that it was scared, so I kept paying attention, but I didn’t see anything that could scare it?”

Zhong Lecen frowned, but did not say that hydrophobia is rabies.This Mrs. Zhang is rich, and dogs are favored, but she really doesn't know anything about raising dogs, she just relies on having more money.

Shen Gu scanned the artificial lake, lowered his voice and said to Zhong Lecen, "Is there something weird in the lake?"

Zhong Lecen also replied in a low voice: "Maybe. That's why I want to come and have a look today."

Shen Gu glared at him: "Call me for this kind of thing in the future, don't come alone!"

Zhong Lecen smiled at him, turned around and said to the woman: "Mrs. Zhang, take Beibei home first. Let's take a look by the lake. If we can find out the problem, we will contact you again."

The woman was dissatisfied, but that was all she could do, and left with the dog in her arms.

Shen Gu carefully observed the artificial lake.The lake water is indeed cleaner than ordinary artificial lakes, not the dark green stagnant water full of algae, but light green.There are weeping willows planted by the lake, although they are not too thick, there are a few hanging branches. The old people are walking while talking, and there is nothing unusual about it.

"There shouldn't be anything wrong. If something happened, people would subconsciously stay away from this place."

"Probably not." Zhong Lecen also nodded, "When such a high-end neighborhood is selling hot, if something happens, it will definitely be reported. And this place is really good in terms of Feng Shui, there won't be any sneakiness."

"No..." Shen Gu frowned, "A dog's sense is much stronger than a human's. Is Teddy a cowardly dog?"

"Teddy is a kind of VIP. It used to be used to hunt waterfowl or something. It should be quite courageous. If you are so scared, there must be something. But I really can't see what will be here."

Shen Gu walked to the edge of the lake and stared at the lake water. The water flow was not urgent, but the water flow could still be seen from the lines on the water surface.Zhong Lecen looked at it for a while, then suddenly said: "There are no fish in this lake."

Shen Gu stared at it, and there were no fish.Ordinary man-made lakes will have some carp or something, there is water and fish, and it is very attractive to look at, and it is a "like a fish in water" mouth color, but the water in this lake is very good, but there is not a single fish.

Zhong Lecen has already struck up a conversation with an old man: "Master, this lake is quite beautiful."

The uncle probably thought they were here to see the house, and said happily, "Yes, yes, this neighborhood is nice. The lake is much cleaner than the stagnant ditches in some neighborhoods, so it's comfortable to look at."

"Oh--" Zhong Lecen leaned over to look at the water, "Isn't there any fish in this lake?"

"I have raised it--" the uncle also looked down, "There are red carp and some grass carp, they are quite big--eh? We usually gather by the lake, why is there nothing here today?"

"There used to be fish?"

"Of course, we sometimes bring some steamed buns to feed. What happened today? Why are there no fish?"

Shen Gu leaned over: "When was the last time you came to feed the fish?"

"Oh--" the uncle thought for a while, "It's been almost a week."

Shen Gu lightly poked Zhong Lecen, and the two walked away, leaving the old man wondering.

"There used to be fish, but now it's gone. What ate it?"

Zhong Lecen shook his head: "There is nothing hidden in such shallow water."

"Since it's running water, look at the water outlet."

A small plastic net is installed on the water outlet, naturally to stop the fish raised in the lake.But now the small net has been bitten through. Although it is not big, it is enough for all the fish to get out.

"Bite by what?" Zhong Lecen stood on the shore, watching Shen Gu stepping in the water, a little worried, "Is the water cold?"

"It's okay." The water temperature is at least fifteen degrees, which is nothing to him. "This net seems to be bitten by a fish." look.

"Bitten by a fish?" Zhong Lecen was also puzzled, "What could it be in such shallow water? Scared these fish so much, how could they bite through the net and escape?"

Shen Gu waded through the water and walked to the shore, the water flowed through his calf - Shen Gu's heart moved: "This is living water, things may not be in this lake, but may also be in the upper reaches of the river."

The water of the artificial lake is drawn from the Baisha River.Shen Gu drove to the Baisha River and slowly went up the river, but he didn't see why.The Baisha River is shallow and narrow, not much deeper than the artificial lake, and if there is something, it seems that it can't hide it.Zhong Lecen looked at the map: "The Baisha River originates from the north of the giant peak of Laoshan Mountain, and flows through the Laoshan Reservoir in the middle. The total length is 28 kilometers. If we really want to find it, we have to find Laoshan all the way."

"It's nothing to find Laoshan. The problem is what are we looking for? We still don't know what to look for. This is a big trouble. If you don't know what to do, you can't find anything even if you search Laoshan."

Zhong Lecen frowned in embarrassment: "Can you see anything wrong in the water? I can't see anything."

Although busy these days, Dongfang Chen has been teaching the three of Shen Gu step by step, telling them about the habits and appearance of various ghosts.Little Heizi listened to these things for nothing, but Shen Gu benefited a lot.He has yin and yang eyes, but many times, he can't tell the difference between people and ghosts.Dongfang Chen's lecture is to enable him to distinguish when and where the "person" who appears may actually be a "ghost".But even though it was already dusk, he didn't see anything that shouldn't be there, he just shook his head: "I can't see anything."

"Go to the water's edge and have a look." Zhong Lecen opened the car door and walked down.The water depth of the Baisha River is only two or three meters, and it is even shallower on the riverside, and there is a bend in this place, the water flow is slow, and things floating down from the upper reaches are easier to accumulate on the river bank here.Now there is no management personnel to come to clean it, so Zhong Lecen just stepped onto the river beach to look through those things.It's a lot of work, especially now that it's getting dark.Shen Gu took out the miniature flashlight, and the two of them tossed a little bit.After turning around for almost an hour, the branch in Zhong Lecen's hand suddenly pulled out half of a plate-like thing from the trash, Shen Gu shone his flashlight, and the two of them yelled out at the same time: "Scale!"

It was indeed a scale, and the broken half was about the size of an ordinary plate, slightly blue in color, and one millimeter thick.Shen Gu's eyes were serious: "It's Yazi!" He had seen similar things under the table in a small hotel - at that time, Yazi was taken away by Kuritaguchi.

"Could it be that Yazi is in this river?"

"Impossible." Zhong Lecen immediately denied, "The water in the Baisha River is so shallow, Yazi is a deep-sea creature, and this little water is not enough for it to hide."

"Then there is only Laoshan Reservoir!" Shen Gu made a final decision, "Probably the water flowing out from there, with the smell of Yazi, scared the dogs and even scared the fish away."

Zhong Lecen grabbed him: "What are you doing?"

"Go to Laoshan Reservoir!"

"It's getting dark now, so let's go to Laoshan Reservoir like this. It's better if we don't meet Yazi, but it will be miserable if we do."

Shen Gu recalled the tragic scene when he met Yazi back then, and frowned: "Then what should we do?"

"Of course you have to go during the day. In Qingdao, only Laoshan Reservoir can hide Yazi. For a while, those two Japanese will definitely be inseparable. Let's go back first, at least we have to prepare as much as possible. .”

Shen Gu followed him into the car and asked, "What do you want to prepare?"

Zhong Lecen choked, and said for a long time: "I don't know either. Yazi is the son of the dragon, not a mortal creature, and has amazing divine power. And although he is easy to kill, he lives in the deep sea and rarely appears, so I don't know how to deal with it." .”

"What method did Kuritaguchi use to arrest Yazi? You said he used the Great Peng Mingwang Curse, can you find a way to get a copy?"

Zhong Lecen shook his head in embarrassment: "As I said, I don't have the magic power to write Buddhist scriptures. The Dapeng Mingwang mantra that Kuritaguchi used must not have been written by himself. That kind of power, he can't do it. That thing should be very old It's a spell, it may have been left by a high-level onmyoji many generations ago, or it may be an ancient artifact he got from some unknown source. Even if Le Yang writes that kind of power, it will not work. Let alone me and the Buddha Missed."

Shen Gu frowned even tighter: "According to this, we have to find an eminent monk? Can a monk from Zhanshan Temple do it?"

Zhong Lecen really thought about it for a while, and then said: "It's hard to say. I heard that the incense in Zhanshan Temple is good, but there are very few eminent monks who really have a relationship with the Buddha. It's hard to say anything without seeing people. And Dapeng Ming Wang Mantra is not an orthodox Buddhist scripture, even if you are from a Buddhist academy, you may not know how to write it."

Shen Gu patted the steering wheel: "Then what should I do?"

Zhong Lecen was also very helpless: "Let me think again. We have to report this matter first, maybe someone from the special affairs department is nearby and can come and help us."

After thinking about it, Shen Gu had no other choice, so he called Dongfang Chen first.Dongfang Chen was shocked when he heard the word Yazi: "I'll report it right away, don't act rashly!"

"What did Dongfang Chen say?"

"She told us not to act rashly." Shen Gu hung up the phone, "If no one comes over as soon as possible, we have to act rashly. If someone runs away, it will be difficult to find them again."

"I know--" Zhong Lecen was stunned before he finished speaking, "Look!"

Already arrived at Kangjia Garden, under the light at the gate of the community, there was a man standing there smoking a cigarette, looking a little irritable.

"It's Young Master Zhang." Zhong Lecen whispered, while secretly watching Shen Gu's expression.

Shen Gu frowned: "Don't pay attention to him."

"Wait." Zhong Lecen pulled him, "If he is asked to write the Dapeng Mingwang Mantra, it may have an effect--"

Shen Gu stepped on the brake suddenly and turned to look at him.Zhong Lecen was a little scared by him, so he quickly changed his words and said: "I really don't mean anything else. Otherwise, we'd better ignore it and find another way."

Shen Gu didn't answer the words, just looked at him with a frown: "Don't your eyes hurt?"

Zhong Lecen was stunned: "Ah? It doesn't hurt, why does it hurt—oh! Yes, I forgot! It seems—really, it's okay? I don't feel it anymore."

Shen Gu frowned even tighter: "Is it okay after returning from Haishi?" He suddenly remembered that when they returned to Xiaoqingdao from Haishi, they were so close to Shao Jing, Zhong Lecen never said anything about his eyes. what a feeling.Of course, he didn't think that Zhong Lecen would have anything to do with Shao Jing if his eyes stopped hurting, and he didn't want Zhong Lecen to suffer for such a problem, but no matter how he thought about it, he didn't feel as good as before.

Zhong Lecen thought about it carefully: "In Haishi, the pain is actually not that severe. But I thought it was the problem of Haishi. After all, that place is shrouded by the spiritual power of the sea people, unlike land... But, it did go out of the sea. I didn't feel it after the market... Well, you--" Shen Gu suddenly reached out to hold his face, took off his glasses with one hand, and looked at him carefully.Zhong Lecen was a little nervous: "What's wrong?"

"The mole next to your eye is gone."

"Huh?" Zhong Lecen touched back.The small mole is slightly higher than the skin, not too obvious, but you can feel it.But now the tentacle is smooth and indeed gone.

Zhong Lecen frowned and touched a few times, then suddenly remembered: "Ah, maybe--" At that time, he remembered that when Concubine Jiao hurt Shao Jing, blood had splashed on his face, and his eyes were hot for a while, It's like a ball of fire got into it.But after it got better, I didn't feel it anymore.After leaving Haishi, he was always worried about his deep emotions, so he didn't notice that he didn't have any reaction to Shao Jing anymore.

"What is it?" Shen Gu looked at it again.The mole was indeed gone, and there was no trace at all.The presence of that mole made Zhong Lecen's somewhat ordinary facial features look a bit more glamorous. Now that the mole is gone, Zhong Lecen's eyes seem to be brighter and clearer?Of course, it may also be reflected by the roof lights...

"Take the blood from my eyes, and return your flesh and blood..." Zhong Lecen said softly in a daze, and touched his eyes involuntarily.In the previous life, it was the blood in his eyes that begged the devil. Although, the final result was just a tragedy.He said that seeing each other is like not seeing each other, maybe it was this sentence that made his eyes hurt when he saw Shao Jing.But now, I feel nothing.Maybe, Shao Jing's blood washed away the mole, maybe, he used his own blood to restore his eyes, maybe, they really have nothing to do with each other...

"Why go?" Shen Gu grabbed Zhong Lecen.

"Go and say hello to him." Zhong Lecen turned his head and smiled, "Don't worry, it's for the sake of Yazi." After speaking, he opened the car door and got out.
