Urban Night Returner

Zhong Leyang dragged the drunken Konghua back, and when he saw the disheveled Shen Gu, he suddenly remembered his previous promise, and stuck out his tongue: "Where's me, my brother?"

Zhong Lecen buttoned his buttons and came out: "What's wrong with Konghua?" Shen Gu was annoyed, and he also felt uncomfortable, even a man couldn't bear it when he was neither embarrassed nor embarrassed.

Zhong Leyang cautiously walked around the man whose face was bigger than the bottom of the pot, and ran over to grab his brother: "Brother, Kong Hua drank too much, and I don't know where he lives, so I had to bring him back."

"How did he drink like this?" Zhong Lecen touched Konghua's hot face, and directed his younger brother, "Wring a hot towel, and go to the kitchen to get some honey vinegar water for him to drink."

Zhong Lecen said loudly while twisting the towel: "We went to eat, and met a man in the restaurant. They had a fight, and then they drank too much. Brother, is that man his ex-boyfriend?"

Zhong Lecen frowned, and wiped Konghua's face with a hot towel: "How could we meet—Binhai is too small."

Kong Hua frowned uncomfortably and moved, Zhong Lecen wanted to help him up: "Kong Hua, Kong Hua, wake up, drink some water before going back to sleep."

Shen Gu walked over with a sullen face, and easily lifted Kong Hua up, Zhong Lecen brought the cup to his mouth, Kong Hua took a few sips in a daze, and scratched his hands on his chest.Zhong Leyang said worriedly: "He won't vomit, right?"

Before finishing a sentence, Konghua tilted his head, and there was a wow sound.Zhong Leyang was stunned.Blue veins popped on Shen Gu's forehead: "Zhong Leyang, clean up!"

Zhong Leyang looked for Mobu knowingly, and murmured, "I didn't make him vomit..."

Shen Gu sneered, and dragged Zhong Lecen into the house: "The people you got back, clean up by yourself!"

Zhong Leyang made a grimace at the door that slammed shut: "Isn't it just that a good thing was interrupted, why are you so annoyed?" He waved his hand and slapped his nose, "This smell is really——eating a meal caused such a big trouble , I’m at a big loss.”

When Konghua woke up, it was early morning, and the sun shone on his face through the curtains, making him feel very dazzling.There was a smell of alcohol all over his body, which made him frown.After barely getting up, he suddenly realized that this was not his home.Rubbing his temples, Konghua suddenly became a little flustered—won't Li Jing take him back to his house, right?Stumbling open the door, the aroma of rice porridge hits his face, Zhong Leyang was sitting on the sofa playing with something, when he heard the movement, he raised his head and made a grimace: "Thank God, I finally woke up, I thought you would sleep until the afternoon."

Kong Hua heaved a sigh of relief, and pressed his fingers on his aching head: "This is——Le Cen's house?"

Zhong Leyang pouted: "Yeah, you drank so much that you couldn't find it, so I had no choice but to get you back. Go wash your face, my brother said, drink some rice porridge after you're drunk, and I'll bring it to you."

Konghua came out after washing his face, his head was still a little dizzy, he took a step forward, and suddenly something moved under his feet, which made him step back in shock, and looked down, it was a big black dog, only wearing a mask on its mouth. He was wearing a holster, a dog leash was tied around his neck, and his four legs were still connected by ropes, so he could only move a little bit.Kong Hua frowned: "When did Le Cen get a dog? Does this dog bite people?" Zhong Le Cen has always liked these cats and dogs, and will never abuse animals.

Zhong Leyang came out with porridge and pickles: "Stay away from it, that thing not only bites, but can also eat people."

Kong Hua was slightly startled, and looked down at the dog, just as the dog also looked up at him, although its mouth was covered with a leather sheath, its eyes were extremely fierce.Konghua took a step back instinctively: "Is such a dangerous thing kept at home?"

Zhong Leyang walked over and gave the dog a cold look: "Be honest! My brother is kind, but I am not so kind. If you are not honest, I will kill you immediately!"

Kong Hua looked at Zhong Leyang in surprise.In his original impression, Zhong Leyang was just a half-grown child, dressed like young music players of his age, the only thing special was that he was actually a celestial master.However, at this moment Zhong Leyang looked at the dog on the ground, his eyes were sharp and murderous, he didn't look like a child, he was clearly - a man...

"This... isn't a dog?" Konghua asked hesitantly.He didn't believe in these things before. Although he believed in Buddhism, it was just to find a spiritual sustenance for himself. Only when he got to know Zhong Lecen, did he know that there really are ghosts, demons, and such things in the world.

Zhong Leyang pulled him to the edge of the table and sat down: "A dog ghost, a little Japanese thing, is actually just a kind of monster. Don't pay attention to it, now it is just an ordinary dog, at most it is a bit fierce. "

Kong Hua shook his confused head, sat down to drink porridge.Zhong Leyang sat back on the sofa and continued to fiddle with the things in his hands.Konghua glanced at him and saw that he was holding a metal dog collar, and was carving something on it with a knife. He couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"

Zhong Leyang said without raising his head: "This is a talisman. My brother is so kind, he insists on keeping this thing at home to heal his wounds. I am afraid that this thing will bite back, so I will add a talisman to it first. If it dares to touch me Brother, I was backlashed by the talisman first."

Kong Hua was confused when he heard it, and looked at the dog ghost lying on the ground: "Why don't you put it with me? I still have a house, and I won't live in it."

Zhong Leyang shook his head: "No way. This thing is too fierce, you can't hold it down. My brother is because he is accompanied by Shen Gu, and that guy is full of evil spirits, so he can hold it down."

Kong Hua held the chopsticks and was slightly taken aback: "You know your brother and—"

Zhong Leyang laughed: "Why don't you know?"

Kong Hua lost his mind for a while, and said slowly: "Officer Shen is not a member of the circle, I wonder if he and Le Cen can last for a long time..."

Zhong Leyang frowned: "How dare he treat my brother badly!"

Konghua smiled: "You don't understand."

Zhong Leyang didn't like him looking at himself like a child: "What kind of eyes do you have?"

Konghua smiled tolerantly, and lowered his head to drink the porridge.Zhong Leyang stared at him for a while, but still couldn't suppress his curiosity: "Is that person yesterday your ex-boyfriend?"

Konghua's face changed slightly, and he said bluntly, "Le Cen should have taught you not to poach other people's privacy casually, right?"

Zhong Leyang pouted: "Isn't it all in the past? You dare not mention it, which means you still can't let it go."

Konghua was slightly stunned, the chopsticks stopped in mid-air, and for a long time, he laughed at himself: "You are right, I just don't live up to it."

Zhong Leyang glanced at him, saw that there was still unspeakable bitterness in his smile, and swallowed his curiosity wisely: "Drink more porridge, my brother said that if you drink too much, it will hurt your stomach, drink some Porridge nourishes the stomach. Don’t drink it like that next time, is it worth it? He doesn’t love you, you have to love yourself.”

Konghua burst out laughing: "Old-fashioned, how old are you?"

Zhong Leyang stared at him dissatisfied: "What does this have to do with age! Cut! I don't know what to do."

Konghua suppressed a smile: "No other meaning, thank you."

This sentence was very sincere, Zhong Leyang's face was a little hot, and he lowered his head in a concealed manner: "Cut, who cares, this is what my brother said."

The smile on Konghua's face grew wider.At this time, Zhong Leyang showed his childish side, so after all, he was just a half-grown child.

"Le Cen went to the clinic?"

"Ah."

"Where's Officer Shen?"

Zhong Leyang shrugged: "The call was made early in the morning, there must be another case."

Shen Gu was indeed called away by the case.When he arrived at Fanhai Community, Xiao Heizi was already guarding there with a serious expression on his face.

"What happened?"

"A woman died in 305, and the forensic doctor is examining the body."

With that said, the forensic doctor had already come out of the house.Shen Gu knew him, his surname was Liu, and everyone in the bureau called him Liu Wu. He was very serious, young, but always had a straight face, and he worked vigorously and extremely strictly.Shen Gu likes to work with this kind of person, so he has a good impression of him.

"How is it?" Little Heizi asked quickly.

"It's very strange. A massive myocardial infarction—this woman seems to have been frightened to death."

"Scared to death?" Xiao Heizi was stunned for a moment, "But the neighbors around said they didn't hear anything..."

Shen Gu stood at the door and looked inside.The body had already been covered with a white cloth, and Liu Wu said flatly behind his back: "There are no valuable footprints in the house, and no one else should have entered that night."

Shen Gu walked over and lifted the white cloth. The face of the corpse was distorted and the expression was horrifying. In addition, it had been dead for a while, and there were already spots on the corpse, and the face with protruding eyes was even more terrifying.Shen Gu looked at it for a while, then put down the white cloth: "There must have been a second person in the room at that time."

Liu Wu looked at him in disapproval: "There is no sign of a second person in the room."

Xiao Heizi whispered, "I asked. The neighbors said that this woman usually lives alone, and I didn't hear anyone coming to see her last night."

Shen Gu pointed to the corpse: "Look at her posture, she should be lying on the ground, and another person is dragging her, trying to drag her to a certain place."

Liu Wu immediately said: "I have checked the body, and there is no trace of trauma. If someone drags it, it will leave marks on the skin."

Shen Gu didn't speak immediately, but stood next to the corpse, and took a closer look.The corpse was half lying on the ground, its face turned away, and one hand was on the ground. The solid wood floor was scratched by nails, and the long nails were broken. The other hand was stretched out in front of the head, but the wrist was indeed No trace of being pulled.Shen Gu raised his head and looked forward, and there was a bed in front of him.This bed is a box-type bed that was popular for a while. The bed body is a box in which things can be placed.

"Have you checked the bed?"

"Not yet, mainly because I'm afraid of damaging the scene."

Liu Wu interjected, "It doesn't matter now."

Xiao Heizi immediately entered the room, and lifted the bed with Shen Gu.Under the bed were winter clothes, stuffed thickly into the bed box.Shen Gu and Xiao Heizi rummaged through it together, and found that in addition to women's clothing, there were also men's clothing.

"Hey, there really is a man."

Shen Gu took a look: "It's new, not worn." The trademarks are still there, look, they are all famous brands.

Xiao Heizi scratched his head and put the clothes aside: "You need to check this. The neighbors say that she lives alone. How come there are men's clothes at home?"

Shen Gu didn't speak, suddenly reached into the pile of clothes and dragged out a small box.This box is buried at the bottom, it is made of wicker, it is quite delicate, and it is locked with a combination.It can be seen through the gaps in the wicker that the inner wall is lined with velvet.Shen Gu directly took out his saber and opened the combination lock. Before Xiao Heizi could speak, the lid of the box had popped open, and the velvet was still padded with silk cotton, which was wrapped in silk - Shen Gu recognized it, he had seen it in the photo of Pai Gow —A piece of black china.

"It's so black, what is it?" Little Heizi stretched out his hand to touch it.Shen Gu stopped him: "Be careful, this is said to be precious black porcelain, it may be a very valuable antique."

Little Heizi was surprised: "Brother Shen, you still know this? Amazing!"

Shen Gu shook his head: "I don't know, Le Cen understands these things better."

"Then ask him to come and take a look, so that we don't have to hire someone."

Shen Gu thought that Zhong Lecen had seen this thing before: "I know a little about this woman, but I don't know if it has anything to do with her death, including this piece of porcelain, I also know where it came from."

Xiao Heizi opened his eyes wide: "You know her?"

Shen Gu hesitated for a moment, and briefly explained the situation, but did not mention Pai Gow.Little Heizi became excited, and immediately went to make a phone call: "Well, I have to check the situation at that man's house."

Shen Gu stared at the porcelain in his hand.This is indeed a gatehouse, but the style is rather strange, more like the archway in ancient times, the door is full of patterns, because it is black porcelain, it is difficult to see what patterns are.Shen Gu held it up to the light and looked at it for a while, feeling like countless snakes coiled together.According to the archway, the bottom of the door should be empty, and the smooth surface with small raised dots on the surface is used here.Shen Gu touched it with his hand, but found nothing.He remembered that Zhong Lecen said it was a soul bottle, which was used to store food for the dead, so he looked around for a place to open it.But after searching for a long time, I couldn't find it. The porcelain was completely closed on all sides.Weighing the weight, the middle should be empty, but I can't find anything that can be called the mouth of the bottle.

After searching through all the things in the deceased's house, there was nothing special other than the black porcelain soul bottle, and there was nothing else that could prove the existence of the second person.

Little Heizi quietly pressed Shen Gu's ear: "I'm afraid there is no second person." He was afraid that Shen Gu would lose face, so his voice was extremely low, "Liu Wu is great, and usually he can't make mistakes."

Shen Gu didn't speak.He didn't care about face or anything.In terms of criminal investigation, he is indeed not as professional as Liu Wu, but he is confident that he will not make a wrong judgment on the human body's response to external stimuli.The actions of the deceased must have been dragged by someone, and if there is no second person or creature in the room, what frightened the deceased to death?But there were no traces of trauma left on the body. This is Liu Wu's specialty, and he can't make mistakes, unless... the person who dragged her was not a human?

Shen Gu laughed at himself.The first thing to think about when investigating a case is that it is not a person... This is not the quality that an excellent criminal investigator should have. It is only after getting to know Zhong Lecen that he will have such weird thoughts.This is not good, because it may mislead the detection direction.Standing up, just as he was about to speak, footsteps were heard on the stairs. Liu Wu stopped someone outside: "This place has been quarantined, you can't go in!"

"What happened inside? Is someone dead? Nana, Nana, are you there? What happened?"

Shen Gu and Xiao Heizi went to the door together, only to see a man crazily trying to break free from the obstruction of Liu Wu and another policeman to rush in, while shouting at the top of his voice: "Nana, Nana!"

Shen Gu looked him up and down, and said to Xiao Heizi in a low voice: "The men's clothes prepared by the deceased are for him." Judging from the length and size, they are just right.

Liu Wu restrained the man, and said in a deep voice, "Sir, please calm down. Ms. Zhou Na is dead. Who are you to her?"

The man looked dusty, as if he had just rushed over from another place. After hearing Liu Wu's words, he was immediately stunned: "Nana is dead?"

Liu Wu was used to such reactions, so he calmly said, "Yes."

The man jumped up suddenly: "Damn it! It must be that woman named Fan! It must be her!"

Shen Gu interrupted and asked, "Who is the woman surnamed Fan?"

The man froze for a moment, then suddenly fell silent again: "I, I want to go and see Nana, what's wrong with her—"

"Massive myocardial infarction. Did Ms. Zhou Na have a heart attack?"

The man shook his head: "No, Nana has always been in good health. Me, can I see her?"

Liu Wu glanced at Shen Gu and Xiao Heizi, and stepped out of the way.The man stood in front of the corpse, lifted the white cloth with trembling hands, and then burst into tears.

Shen Gu patiently waited for him to cry for a while before saying, "Sir, we need your cooperation in the investigation."
