Meeting A Demonic Cultivator, Even God Cries

Gu Xizhou looked at Si Yu who was still holding an umbrella in his hand, looked at him a little strangely, and said, "What are you doing with the umbrella?"

"it works."

Gu Xizhou turned the corner of the street and saw a row of bungalows next to it, with about a dozen rooms in a row. On the other side of the street was a four-story building built by farmers, also built into small single rooms for rent.

But at this time, there seemed to be no one around. Gu Xizhou looked around and found that the surrounding area was closed. Gu Xizhou wanted to knock on the door, but Si Yu stopped him at this time and said: "It's useless for you to knock on the door, sure!" no one."

Gu Xizhou said: "Why?"

"The people living here are all migrant workers. Summer is the rainy season in Ningqing, so you can't go to work on rainy days, but today is a sunny day, and the residents are all busy on the construction site. Of course, no one is at home." Si Yu explained.

Gu Xizhou glanced at the time on his watch while walking. It was only past three o'clock in the afternoon. He couldn't go to the construction site or the factory to find someone to understand the situation, right?

"I'll go, how long will I have to wait?"

"Don't worry, those people will be back in an hour at most." Si Yu said casually.

Gu Xizhou turned to look at him, at this moment, a drop of water suddenly hit his cheek.

Tick ​​tock, the road was dusty in an instant, and the air was filled with the smell of dust. Gu Xizhou was about to walk to the parking place when an umbrella appeared above his head, "Did you know it was going to rain?"

Holding an umbrella in one hand, Si Yu said softly: "When I was driving you in the morning, the radio broadcast the weather forecast saying that there will be heavy rain."

"Why didn't I hear it?" Gu Xizhou raised his eyebrows.

"You fell asleep."

The two were very close, and Si Yu's deep and hoarse voice seemed to be rubbing against the eardrums, making people's ears a little itchy. Gu Xizhou looked at him helplessly, and the two walked back with umbrellas.

The heavy rain hit the person's body painfully, puddles formed on the ground, and the water droplets splashed down, bursting into a splash in an instant, which made the person covered in muddy water.

Several criminal policemen hurriedly boarded the police car, wiped off the water on their bodies with paper, and couldn't help complaining:

"What the hell weather is this? It rains as soon as it rains. Isn't it too violent?"

"Damn it, it's really a bad start today. I just ran into this heavy rain just after walking too far."

"Hey, Captain Gu is not in the car!"

I don't know who murmured, and everyone realized that there was one person missing from their co-pilot. They subconsciously searched for Gu Xizhou, looked at the Bentley luxury car next door, and found that there was no one in the car. My mobile phone sent Gu Xizhou a WeChat message——

"Gu Dui, where are you? It's raining, we all got back in the car!"

Gu Xizhou glanced at the rainwater flowing along the canopy like running water outside the window, and replied: "I am in a resident's house, and I will continue to investigate after the rain stops."

Everyone heard Gu Xizhou's voice coming from the phone, it was you looking at me and I looking at you, why didn't they meet such a good resident?I have to run back in the rain!

At the door of a private house, the handsome man with profound features put away the umbrella in his hand and leaned against the corner of the door, then turned around and thanked the owner of the house.

"Thank you, old man, for letting us in to shelter from the rain." Si Yu's voice was very loud, because the old man's ears were not very good. Only by louder, the white-haired old man could barely hear Si Yu's words clearly.

The old man sat on the old man's chair, shook the chair slightly, shook it, and waved to Si Yu, "You're welcome."

Gu Xizhou got up and walked over. The old man was a local farmer. They were about to leave just now. The enthusiastic old man opened the door and invited them to come in to shelter from the rain. They were lucky to meet this old man, otherwise they would With such a big fish outside, even if there is an umbrella waiting for them to go back, the trousers are all wet.

"Thank you, sir."

"It's okay, it's okay, don't be polite to the old man!" The old man smiled and said, "After my wife left, my son and daughter were all in the city, and I was bored by myself. Seeing you young people, I still feel happy in my heart.”

Gu Xizhou smiled, and while looking out, he asked the old man, "Master, I want to ask you something, are there any children lost around here?"

The old man shook his head, "I don't know about this, I don't go out very much, young man, why are you asking this?"

Gu Xizhou took out his police ID from his bag, and explained: "I, the police, are here to investigate."

"Oh," the old man nodded, and said, "Actually, I can't see clearly either. There are migrant workers who come to work in the city, or they are local farmers. I haven't heard of traffickers. "

"It's not that there are traffickers, but we suspect that there may be children missing in the vicinity, but we haven't received a report, so we came to have a look."

The old man's cloudy eyes opened, and he seemed a little strange, "How can a child get lost, and the parents don't report it? I guess that child is not from us."

"It's weird to us, too."

The old man said again: "However, all the farmers around here are migrant workers, and there are not many children with children. If they are really our children, they should be easy to find.

"Look at the four-story house I built. There are 23 families living in it. Only two families have children. The rest are couples who went to work in the city and left their children in their hometown. Alas, in the city Reading is really troublesome."

The old man babbled and said a few words, Gu Xizhou could only lament that the old man was indeed too lonely, very talkative, the rain had not stopped, Gu Xizhou saw people coming back from the rain one after another, and workers in twos and threes came back together.

The place where the old man let Gu Xizhou and Si Yu take shelter from the rain is the passageway for going upstairs. When you open the door, you can see people passing by going upstairs. The old man seems to have a good interpersonal relationship, and there are many men and women passing by the door. People also greeted the old man from a distance.

After about 30 minutes, the torrential rain outside finally stopped. After Gu Xizhou and Si Yu thanked the old man, they hurried away and went to the stairs next door. The child is missing.

"I haven't heard of anyone's child being lost. Police comrades, did you find the wrong place?" The dark-skinned honest man scratched his head and replied.

"Are there any children lost around here?" Gu Xizhou asked again.

"No, the people living here are all workers. Although they are not familiar with each other, they have met each other on the construction site. If someone's child has disappeared, it must have been spread all over the construction site."

The simple and honest man added: "I personally sent my child to school today, so I definitely didn't lose it."

……

After asking a few families, none of the people who rented a house from the old man had heard of any lost children, which made Gu Xizhou a little difficult to deal with.

The suspicious person must be someone from the neighborhood, otherwise he wouldn't have disappeared in the neighborhood, but if there were no children lost in the neighborhood, then the parents who had notified the missing person had to go to the police station to identify the body.

Thinking of this, Gu Xizhou had a headache.

The visit took a long time, and soon it was six o'clock in the afternoon, and Gu Xizhou saw a large group of men and women in the same uniform returning home from a distance.

Gu Xizhou had to visit again. He walked to the door of the family and knocked on the door. A thin, middle-aged man opened the door. After years of baptism, his face was covered with deep grooves. There are all kinds of garbage picked up from outside, and there is an indescribable smell.

"You, who are you looking for?" The thin and small man asked in a low voice with a timid look in his eyes, obviously a little afraid of strangers.

"Hello, I'm a policeman, and I want to ask you to understand the situation." While Gu Xizhou said this, he noticed that the thin man was trembling violently, and couldn't help drawing a question mark in his heart. Fear of the police, is it out of fear of the profession, or is it because of something else?

"You, you say." The skinny man nodded.

Gu Xizhou said in a deep voice: "I just asked your neighbor, you have a child in your family, how old is your child?"

"One is three years old and the other is eight years old."

Three years old!

This age is in line with the age of the child they found the body, Gu Xizhou hurriedly asked: "I just checked, but I didn't see your children, did they come back from school?"

The thin man shook his head: "The little one went back to his hometown with my wife, and the big one is still in school today."

Gu Xizhou heard the words, "Is the younger one a son?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"Then... have you been in touch with your wife recently? Are they in their hometown now?"

"Of course! Of course I want to contact her. I returned to my hometown a few days ago and even called me." The thin man looked at Gu Xizhou vigilantly, as if he was a little puzzled and suspicious, "Why are you asking this?" ?”

"Oh, it's nothing, I just want to make sure if there are any missing children around here."

The thin man: "No, I haven't heard anyone say that."

"okay, thank you."

After bidding farewell to the skinny man, Gu Xizhou found several other colleagues and asked, "Did you find anything?"

"No, there are no children lost around here."

"If this murderer really lives here, after all our troubles, he must be vigilant," Gu Xizhou thought for a while and ordered, "Now, you should notify the local police station to conduct a census immediately, and count the people in the neighborhood. All the people living here are entered in the file, and at the same time contact the homeowners here to ask them to help pay attention to whether anyone has recently withdrawn the lease."

After receiving the order, everyone immediately went to execute the order. Gu Xizhou turned his head and saw Si Yu was looking at him. Gu Xizhou stepped forward and said, "I'm still busy today, you should go home first."

"It's okay." Although it had just rained, the weather was still very hot, and Si Yu didn't know where to find a piece of white paper to use as a fan.

Gu Xizhou gave him a funny look, and was about to say why Si Yu didn't get in the car and turn on the air conditioner, but his gaze swept over the white paper and he stopped, grabbed the white paper in Si Yu's hand, and frowned. Into a Sichuan character!

This white paper was printed in black and white fonts into a leaflet. Gu Xizhou glanced at the content of the leaflet and saw that it was that kind of cult propaganda. At the same time, there was a strange symbol in the middle of the leaflet, and this symbol happened to be dead. The symbol on the little boy's arm!

Gu Xizhou stared at Si Yu, and asked anxiously, "Where did you come from?"

Si Yu pointed to a house in the distance, winked at Gu Xizhou and said, "It was too hot just now, so I randomly picked a piece of paper from the waste paper downstairs in that building."
