Ghost of Rebirth

Ji Yan led Ji Ying to roam the streets of Hongmian Town. There were too many tourists in the peak tourist season, and the two soon couldn't maintain the formation of walking side by side, so they separated two or three people back and forth.

Ji Ying was bumped by tourists from time to time, but at this time he did not show anxiety, at least from the facial expression, he was very calm, he was recalling the scene he saw in the small farmyard in Youxuan for the umpteenth time.

The yard full of euphyllum, the tea tray with clues, and the lost specialty Sha Toutuo of Hongmian Town mixed in the tea. What is the relationship between these things?

Uncle, how is the situation now?

Thinking about it, it is inevitable that he lost his mind again, and anxiety once again dominated Ji Ying's thinking.

"Senior Ji."

Ji Ying stopped suddenly, raised her head to call Ji Yan, and the former also stopped, and when she turned her head, she found a very rare anxious expression on Ji Ying's face.

Ji Yan knew that all consolation would be futile at such a time, so he could only walk up to Ji Ying and whisper, "Zhang Nanchen is definitely not in danger, and Youxuan is playing psychological warfare by taking him away."

After all, Ji Yan is an old policeman. According to his thinking, if Youxuan wants to harm Zhang Nanchen, he has countless opportunities to make a move. There is no need to go through so much trouble. Therefore, his goal should not be Zhang Nanchen, or not only Zhang Nanchen.

If Youxuan's target wasn't Zhang Nanchen, who would it be?Who else?

Thinking of this, Ji Yan, who always prided himself on being calm and self-sufficient, also felt a headache.

Ji Ying seemed to understand Ji Yan's concerns: "I know he should be safe for the time being, I'm just worried."

After finishing speaking, he took a deep breath, shook his head slightly, closed his eyes forcefully, and when he opened them again, he returned to his usual expressionless face.

Ji Yan also patted himself on the head: "The case is special, we can't directly ask our brother's unit for assistance, we will start to investigate from the clues we already know, You Epiphyllum, Sha Toutuo, we can definitely find something."

Ji Ying nodded and said nothing, she glanced away, but only saw tourists everywhere.

"I have asked someone to get a list of all the pharmacies, private clinics, and wandering doctors in this town." Ji Yan took out a piece of A4 paper from his briefcase, "There are also flower shops and flower planters. The base, let the police from the local police station go to investigate first, but no one planting Euphyllum epiphyllum was found. The private flower planters in the town need to investigate one by one, and it has not been completed yet, and news should be released tonight."

Fortunately, Hongmian Town is only a small tourist town. There are only five or six pharmacies and five or six private clinics in the whole town. Large community hospitals can basically be ruled out. Ji Yan was worried that Ji Ying would act alone, so he decided to give up efficiency and focus on safety first, and the two acted together.

It took a whole day to go through the pharmacy and the clinic. Ji Yan took his police officer's card and revealed his identity before he could get the information he wanted smoothly.

The police investigation is a heavy workload and tedious and meticulous work. Fortunately, Ji Yan has not lost his basic skills, and his efficiency is still high; Ji Ying is flexible, and specially takes advantage of Ji Yan's questioning there to sneak into places that outsiders cannot directly enter. , looking for clues, but the two of them walked for a day and did not get any suspicious information.

At the end of a fruitless day, Hongmian Town's brother unit gave Ji Yan feedback, and after checking the whole town, no planting of euphyllum was found.

Ping Song, Li Ran, and Song Qin stared at the proprietress at the Hongmian Inn for a day, and Li Ran went to ask questions for a long time, but was dismissed by the proprietress with a business card: If you want to find a travel guide, please contact Hongmianqing Lu, made Li Ran very depressed. During dinner at night, he lay listlessly on the dining table and complained to Ji Yan: "This is the first time I meet such a cool proprietress. If you are 30 years younger, you can directly say that she is the queen!"

Song Qin also nodded in agreement, and reported the results of his unannounced visits to the inn for a long time: except for spider webs, there was nothing else.

Ji Yan had expected this result a long time ago, so he just said that he would continue to work hard, and then he also talked about the results of himself and Ji Ying's rehearsal, but also got nothing.

During the meal, the Hongmian Brothers unit called again, saying that they had checked the surveillance from yesterday to today, and no young man suspected of Zhang Nanchen had entered Hongmian Town.

This is also what Ji Yan expected, the investigation has come to an impasse, maybe it only needs a detail that has been overlooked by everyone to make a turnaround.

Pingsong has been listening carefully to the exchange of police comrades in the special case investigation department, and when he finds that the little comrades have been busy for a day without gaining anything, he twirled his goatee and said to Ji Yan: "I don't know what to say when I say something. .”

Ji Yan hurriedly said: "Senior Pingsong, please tell me."

Ping Song said: "The old man has been walking in the rivers and lakes for decades. Although you police don't understand this stuff very well, it might be inappropriate to use it to deal with the current situation?"

"how do I say this?"

"Simply put, with Na Youxuan's ability, it is not difficult to enter Hongmian Town without anyone noticing, but it is even more difficult to find him according to your method." Ping Song looked confident.

"Then according to the meaning of the senior?"

"Another way." Pinsong Nianxu smiled, "The right way is to renew the origin and clear the source."

Ji Yanmao suddenly realized that the case of the disappearance of the fast food restaurant clerk broke through the normal scope from the very beginning, otherwise the Municipal Bureau would not have set up a special case investigation department to conduct special investigations.

Since it is a special case, it is natural not to take the usual path. Ji Yan immediately had an idea, and immediately stopped eating, and ordered Song Qin to find the local chronicles of Hongmian Town and other materials that may have records about Sha Toutuo, and Li Ran searched remotely. Sha Toutuo was first discovered and passed on by someone. Ji Yan, Ji Ying and Pingsong used local brothers to help visit local folk history experts overnight.

Zhang Nanchen felt that he had had a big dream, and it was an unlucky dream. After waking up sweating, he forgot the content of the dream in an instant, but had a splitting headache.

Beating his head and lying down for a while, he remembered what happened before he passed out, and his heart sank suddenly. His first reaction was that this time he had caused a catastrophe, and he would definitely be scolded to death by Ji Yan and Ji Ying , I didn't seriously understand my situation for a long time.

When Youxuan walked into the bedroom, he saw Zhang Nanchen sitting cross-legged on the bed, rubbing his forehead with one hand, and kept chanting, because the speed was too fast, and he couldn't hear what he was saying.

"Wake up? Drink water." You Xuan handed him a large porcelain bowl filled with warm water.

"Who?!" Startled by his voice, Zhang Nanchen immediately jumped up three feet from the couch, hit the thick wooden board with his head, burst out two lines of hot tears in an instant, and crouched back on the spot with his head in his arms.

The corner of You Xuan's mouth twitched, and finally he couldn't bear it anymore and said: "How can there be such a stupid person like you in the world?"

Zhang Nanchen was on the verge of crying, with two tears in his eyes, he turned his head tremblingly to see You Xuan, and said in a crying voice, "It's not because of you!"

Youxuan saw that his face was pale and his mouth was blue from the pain, and he thought that he must have been hit hard, so he put the porcelain bowl aside, sat sideways on the edge of the bed, and reached out to rub his wound.

Zhang Nanchen realized later that the guy next to him was the culprit who made him dizzy, vigilantly avoiding Youxuan's hand, holding his head back a lot, resisting the severe pain and turning around Eyeball looked at the surrounding environment before asking: "Where is this? Why are you trying to stun me?"

He was in an antique bedroom with a full set of antique wooden furniture and copper mirrors, like a filming scene of an ancient costume TV series.

"It doesn't seem to hurt that much." Of course You Xuan would not answer his question, calmly withdrew his hand, and raised the porcelain bowl in front of Zhang Nanchen, "Drink water."

This time Zhang Nanchen didn't talk nonsense anymore, he thought to himself who knows what you added to the water, even if you kill me, I won't drink it!So he shut his mouth tightly to express that he would never give in.

You Xuan glanced at him, held the bowl still with one hand, turned his other hand into a grip, and grabbed Zhang Nanchen's throat.

No matter how cowardly Zhang Nanchen is, he is still a bit of a kid. He quickly kicked his knees and kicked right Xuan's elbow. He thought that his movement was faster than You Xuan's. Xuan's seemingly slow movements somehow avoided his snapping knees, and pinned him firmly on the couch as if he had entered no one's land.Naturally, Zhang Nanchen would not sit still, and immediately mobilized his hands, feet, and even his whole body to try to break free. Unexpectedly, Youxuan's strength was astonishing. Zhang Nanchen struggled until he was sweating all over, but he didn't let his steel-cast arms move even a bit. It was because his throat was being held tighter and tighter, and he soon lost his strength due to lack of oxygen. He could only watch helplessly as the big porcelain bowl got closer and closer to his mouth, and finally the bowl of water was almost poured into his mouth. In the mouth that was forced to open wide, more than half of the water that had no time to swallow was poured out of the nostrils and mouth, and he was almost choked.

"You..." Zhang Nanchen patted You Xuan's hand that had finally relaxed, and complained angrily while coughing violently, "You are not human!"

"You just know?" You Xuan smiled, and suddenly leaned over to whisper in his ear, "Actually, you're not human either."
