Chapter 1 Rainy Night

Outside the dark window, night falls.

Every time at this time, I always feel a little uneasy, because I can always inadvertently spot a woman standing outside the window. She is dressed in white, her hair is messy, and her face is obscured by her hair, making it difficult to see clearly. No matter how you look at this woman, she doesn't have the vitality of a living person. She is like an evil spirit that lingers around. Grandpa once said that some people have yin and yang eyes and can see things that ordinary people cannot see (so-called souls), but I know very well that I do not have this innate advantage.

Every night when I see her standing at the window, I feel a little scared. It happens to be raining heavily today, and the yin is very heavy, which makes me feel a little scared. The most terrifying thing is that in the past three years, this woman has appeared every time at this time, like a terrifying nightmare that lingers.

I sat on the chair, staring out the window, and a flash of lightning streaked across the sky, shaking her gloomy back, making her look even more eerie. I was a little nervous, afraid that she would float in front of me in the next second, open her bloody mouth and bite me fiercely.

Bah. I spat. If she dares to come over, I will stab her with the dagger. I don't care whether you are a human or a ghost. I will poke a few holes in you. I thought about it, holding the dagger tightly, and slowly stood up.

With a bang, the window was blown open by a strong wind, and the wooden window frame hit the wall beside it. The glass shattered and scattered all over the floor. The cold wind blew into the house, giving me goose bumps. The chandelier on the roof flickered like a ghost fire. After all, I am an educated person. There are no ghosts in this world. I mustered up my courage and slowly walked towards the window. I secretly decided tonight that I must see whether you are a human or a ghost, and what kind of perverted thoughts made you stand guard for me for three years. I swallowed my saliva and felt that my steps were slower than a snail at this time.

As I walked forward, I found that the woman showed no signs of trying to escape, and I felt a little guilty. But I am a man after all, how could I be intimidated by a woman? Besides, I still have a dagger in my hand, so I thought about it. I nodded, pumped myself up, grabbed the dagger and rushed towards the woman. But when I was about to run in front of her, I suddenly realized  No, I live on the sixth floor. This building is The old-fashioned building is taller than ordinary buildings. Logically speaking, it is impossible to stand motionless at the window. If you stand on the guardrail, you can't stand outside such a high window for long.

Could it really be a ghost? I thought as I shuddered in my heart. The confidence I had just had was long gone. My legs began to lose control. A chill suddenly rushed from the bottom of my heart to my forehead. Huh! At the same time, the woman suddenly rushed into the window at an amazing speed, like a fox, and threw me to the ground. She looked very thin, but her strength was amazing. I tried desperately to push her away, but after struggling for a long time, there was no effect at all. I was already losing my composure by shouting for help. Her two skinny hands were like dead bones, pinching my neck hard, and the yin aura was overwhelming.

Blood-red eyes shone through her messy hair. She gritted her teeth and seemed to be still shouting, Why don't you come to save me, why don't you come to save me, it's been three years... I was almost suffocated by her, and my brain began to lack oxygen. I didn't hear clearly the second half of what she said. When people are trying to survive, they will try their best to smash whatever is around them, and I was no exception. In a panic, I stabbed her with the dagger in my hand, using all my strength to pierce the woman's head.

Ah! I screamed, and a sharp pain instantly shot through my body . I opened my eyes hard and found that I was lying on the ground at some point, holding broken glass in my hand, and the palm of my left hand was stabbed. There was a cut as big as a thumb, and blood was flowing . I shivered and struggled to get up. Most of my body was soaked by the rain. The lights in the room were out, and the broken window kept shaking in the howling wind.

Damn, it's a dream again, but this time the dream is so clear! As I said that, I put away the glass stubble in my hand, turned on the chandelier, and quickly went to the drawer to find a gauze bandage, but when I opened the drawer, a necklace appeared It caught my eye and I picked it up  Hey, this necklace...

Chapter 2 Necklace

I woke up from a nightmare and found that I was injured in many places, especially my left hand. I quickly went to the drawer to find gauze. The pain was absolutely uncomfortable. The fingers were connected to the heart, and the palm of my hand was connected to the fingers. It didn’t hurt. That's weird. I endured the severe pain and already greeted the eighteen generations of ancestors of the woman in white. Why do you always come to me when you have nothing to do? Just tell me that you have a crush on me, and you are always trying to imitate others by climbing through windows and acting like a ghost .

If you wait till I see you in my dream, I will beat you up! I said through gritted teeth, and quickly opened the drawer. I remembered that there was still some gauze left when I bandaged the wound last time, which should be enough. But at this moment, a necklace caught my eye. I picked it up. In my impression, there was no such thing in the drawer. I laid it flat on the table. It was an ordinary necklace with gold-plated chain, but most of the gold plating had been worn off, exposing the silver metal inside. In the middle of the necklace was a crescent-shaped logo, and a very delicate little snake was wrapped around the crescent. The snake seemed to be biting a round object in its mouth, like the sun, but I was not sure.

What is this? I was stunned for a moment, trying hard to recall its origin, but only a blurry figure swaying back and forth appeared in my mind. I frowned, wanting to see the figure clearly, but I tried my best and could only vaguely see the blood -red broken knife in the figure's hand . I struggled to see the figure's face clearly, and at this time, my head hurt, as if thousands of needles were piercing my head at the same time. My eyes suddenly went black and I remembered nothing.

I don’t know how long I slept. I didn’t have any dreams this time. I just felt like someone was touching me. Suddenly, I sat up with a bang. My heart was beating wildly. I quickly wiped my body. He wiped away the cold sweat on his forehead, exhaled forcefully, and slowly calmed down his heart. I wiped my forehead and suddenly felt something was wrong, my hands! When had my hands been tied with gauze, and I was not on the floor of the living room, but strangely lying on the bed in the bedroom, with all my clothes taken off and piled neatly next to the pillow.

My scalp was numb. What on earth was going on? I was a little scared. Why didn't I remember anything? Was there something hidden in my house? Or was I asleep and then entered a double dream? I immediately dismissed the idea. What double dream? It was nonsense. If it was really a dream, my hand would not be injured and would not be tied with gauze like now. Even if it was like this, I had to be brave and see. I couldn't stay like this. Otherwise, I would be a coward.

I put on my clothes casually, picked up the glass teacup on the table, and walked around the room cautiously , but found nothing.

Am I overthinking it? I said and opened the curtains, and the dazzling sunlight immediately flashed into my eyes, which made me unable to open my eyes. When I got used to the sunlight, something incredible happened again. Last night The glass windows that had obviously been shattered by the wind were now tightly closed.

Damn it, could I have traveled through time? I said, as if my head had been twisted several times. By the way, that necklace! I suddenly remembered the necklace I had placed on the table before I fainted. Although it was It's gold-plated, but it looks a bit antique. You can't throw it away. I thought to myself and walked quickly to the table in the living room.

The necklace was still lying on the table, but it was moved. There was a piece of paper next to the necklace, with the following words scribbled on it  Wenzi, what did you do last night? I have cleaned up the room for you. See you at the old place when you wake up. Hurry up! The name was Leia. After reading this note, I was finally relieved. It seemed that I had indeed fainted in the living room last night, and Leia had cleaned up the room for me when she came to find me in the morning.

Luckily Leia has my key, otherwise I would have died of excessive blood loss or frozen to death from last night. I said, secretly thanking myself, and put the necklace on my neck, Who cares, it looks good, it would be a waste not to wear it. I took a look in the mirror on the table, and it looked good. I nodded and went to tidy up. Although I didn't care much about my image, I was a private detective after all, so I had to look like a detective.

After everything was packed up, it was already around three o'clock in the afternoon. I went out and walked straight to the small restaurant where Leia and I often ate . Although the sun is shining brightly outside, I always feel that something sinister is following me. When I turn around, there is nothing there. Damn, it seems that I am a little stupid because of the dream.

Chapter 3 Leia

Leia's real name is Chen Dongren. She has been my best friend since childhood. We were both snipers in the Criminal Police Brigade. Later, due to a travel accident, I could no longer use a sniper rifle and was forced to leave my job and opened a private detective. I work in a society and solve some ordinary small cases for people. After I left, Leia also took the initiative to ask for a transfer and became the chief of the information section of the criminal police brigade. She spent the whole day leisurely and often asked me for a drink.

The place where we gathered was the small restaurant in front of us called Youguoxiang . Although its name is a bit rustic, the dishes made are all Northeastern specialties. Not only do they smell particularly fragrant, they also taste very refreshing. This restaurant is not very big, only the size of four rooms, and most of the places where Leia and I met are here.

I greeted the boss and hurried into the inner room. When I entered the room, I saw Leia, who was wearing a police uniform, drinking beer and smacking delicious food.

Leia. I called him softly as a greeting. He nodded at me to sit down and opened a bottle of beer for me. I gulped down two gulps. Thanks, brother, for helping me clean up the house this morning! Then I drank the beer with him.

You have the nerve to say, okay, tell me what happened last night! I put down the beer  What else can happen? It's the dream I've been telling you for many years. It didn't happen last night. You know what evil you committed, the dream is just like real, the woman in the dream actually wanted to strangle me to death. I said, rolling up my sleeves, Damn it, how can I let her go, as a grown man? I immediately held her down and picked up the glass stubble on the ground..." I said it loudly, and Leia also listened carefully. In this situation, she definitely couldn't tell her how pissed off she was last night, even though she was a good friend. Bragging is still necessary.

When I mentioned the necklace, Leia's chopsticks paused for a moment, and the meat she was holding fell onto the table. Although this was a small detail, I knew there must be something about this necklace, so I quickly lowered my head and said, Do you know something about that necklace? Tell me what it is! Leia pushed me away and started to play coy  What, what necklace? I, I don't know. This is the first time I've heard you say this !

when he was so vague . Leia and I have been close since childhood. He knows all the secrets. He was so vague this time. There must be something hidden. I thought, I grabbed his arm and stared at him with wide eyes. Leia felt uncomfortable when I looked at her. She drank the beer in her hand and said, Don't ask me, Wenzi. How would I know? I haven't even seen the necklace... the necklace.

Bullshit, if you haven't seen it, who moved it, it was just on the table when I fainted... I said, pulling open my collar, revealing the necklace inside. Leia looked at the necklace as if she had seen a ghost, and hurriedly buttoned my collar, looking left and right, and whispered  Put it away, put it away, you Biao, why did you bring this thing out! His expression made me more suspicious. Now it seems that this necklace must have some secrets, and judging from his reaction, this secret is not small.

The lady boss has already changed the dishes and sent us two extra dishes to go with the wine, but given the current atmosphere, even if you bring a lobster, I'm not interested at all. Pulling Leia's hand, I still didn't let go  Hurry up, kid, or don't blame me for turning hostile! I gritted my teeth and said, I must get to the bottom of it today.

Okay, why don't I tell you? Leia finally gave in. I quickly asked, What the hell is going on? Stop wasting time and tell me! Leia took out her cell phone from her pocket and started fiddling with it. I felt a little unhappy watching her  You should be telling me about the necklace, why are you fiddling with your broken cell phone! I was about to lose my temper when I saw Leia handing me her cell phone. I was stunned when I took the phone. There was nothing on the phone but a photo, and the thing in the photo was the same necklace as the one on my neck.

Chapter 4  Past Events

I originally thought that I was the only one who had this necklace, but I didn't expect Leia to have one too. I handed her my phone and said, If you have it, you have it, but you are reluctant to take it out. What's the point of taking a photo with your phone! I said to him half-mockingly. Leia did n't laugh and came over and said, I don't have this thing. I took a photo of the one on your neck!

What!! I was stunned for a moment, How did you take the photo? You kid, Leia, doesn't have a crush on me! I said with a bad smile and patted his shoulder. He glared at me  Go, don't talk nonsense, let's talk about business. You had an accident when you were traveling, do you remember? I thought for a while and said  I don't remember much, but it happened, but What does this have to do with the necklace? Leia continued  The police investigation said that a group of you accidentally slipped and fell into the valley while climbing the mountain road, right?

I nodded  Yes, I remember you told me that I was the only survivor , and the day I woke up, there were people from the investigation department coming to question me!

The people who went to investigate that day were not ordinary policemen, but members of our SWAT team from the Criminal Police Brigade! Leia whispered and looked around, as if she was afraid of being heard. I frowned and said, How is it possible? You are not mistaken. How can a small bus landslide mobilize the Criminal Police Brigade and the SWAT team? Even if someone died, the SWAT team would not be mobilized! I asked in disbelief. Although I said I didn't believe it, I believed it in my heart. I felt that the matter was not as simple as I thought, and there might be something more terrible.

Really? Why the hell would I lie to you? Leia said with cold sweat on her palms. I was there too, and I saw you fainted at the foot of the mountain, with the necklace tightly clenched in your hand... in your hand! As he spoke, his eyes looked at my neck again.

Then according to what you said, the SWAT team might be here to find this! I touched the snake-shaped necklace on my neck. Leia nodded and said, I guess so, otherwise you would have fallen down the mountain alone, what else would you have done but injuries, and you held it so tightly, you must have pulled it off from somewhere when you fell. I remembered the blurry figure and the blood-red broken knife, and my head began to hurt violently again. I found that whenever I tried to remember that trip, it gave in.

Slow down, Wenzi, don't think about it! Leia patted my shoulder, You should pay attention to your head. The doctor said you have intermittent amnesia. When you want to remember the memory, it hurts a lot. I almost fainted when I heard it. Damn, what kind of disease is this? It's obviously not letting me remember that memory. At this moment, I suddenly felt a pair of cold eyes staring at me from behind, like snake eyes. I shuddered, turned my head sharply, and picked up an empty beer bottle. This feeling is not the first time. There must be something staring at me, but I didn't catch it.

Leia was frightened by my move, and she also picked up a beer bottle and stood beside me, looking around vigilantly. Several people eating nearby thought we were going to fight, and quickly ran away with their bags. I patted Leia beside me and said, Leia, this place is not safe, let's go to my house and talk! He nodded.

We paid for the meal and hurried to my house. Although my house is not far from here, we were afraid that something hidden in the dark would follow us. We basically ran all the way back. When we arrived at my door, we were already a little out of breath. Leia panted heavily  Damn it, I'm still a policeman. I even forgot to use my gun. What am I afraid of! I looked at him contemptuously and said  Let's not be hindsighted! He listened a little unconvinced  What hindsight? Maybe you handled a divorce case for someone, and they didn't get a share of the property and are here to retaliate against you!

Okay, stop talking nonsense! I said, closing the curtains in the living room and bedroom, and sat down at the table with him. Go on! Leia took a sip of water and continued, I knew at the time that this thing was definitely not ordinary, so I secretly took a picture and then helped you hide it in the inner pocket of your shirt.

Didn't you go with the SWAT team? Didn't anyone notice you when you were taking the photos? I felt that there was something wrong with what Leia said, but she didn't seem to be lying. Could it be that I was wrong?

I was the first one to receive the alarm, and then I went out early. I reported to the team when I was almost there, so I was the first to arrive at the scene! Leia said as she drank the water in the cup in one gulp and continued, Don't interrupt me, kid, just listen to me finish. He glared at me, as if telling me not to disturb him all the time.

Okay, go on, I won't ask any more questions! Although I had doubts in my heart, I couldn't discourage Leia's enthusiasm, otherwise I wouldn't know what happened next. I muttered in my heart and urged him to speak faster.

Don't rush me, let's get to the point! Leia said, I looked up this snake-shaped necklace when I got home, but you know what? Baidu doesn't even have any information about this thing!!

Damn, no! What he said made my last hope shattered. That means there is no information!

Leia raised her lips  Of course not, who am I...

Okay, stop talking nonsense, tell me quickly, or you will grind me to death! I said a little annoyed. He leaned against my ear  That logo belongs to a Japanese society called 'Shinto Myosha'!

Shinto...Meisha!

Chapter 5 Photos

Shinto...Meisha! I shouted softly, What is this? Why have I never heard of it! I thought, what age is this, and there are still people with such a vulgar name? I remember what my father told me about the cooperative when I was young. The one I remember the most is the rural cooperative. Don't talk nonsense. If you have the information, just talk about it. If you don't have it, don't talk nonsense. What's the meaning of 'underworld society'! When Ya heard this, he became anxious, thinking that I was provoking him, and became stubborn  You kid, don't believe me, I have proof! He took out his wallet and dug into the small secret pocket on the left side of the wallet. Take out a small piece of paper.

I looked a little surprised. Although he was a rough and delicate person, he never put things in such a hidden place. Moreover, the paper was folded very clearly. This seemed to be the first time he took it out. He opened the note carefully and laid it flat on the table. I looked over and saw that it was Leia's bad writing. Although it was scrawled, it was still legible .

It said  Shinto Meisha, a Japanese society with a long history, a snake-shaped totem, and was destroyed in Japan in 1952. There were only five short sentences, and nothing more. I took the paper and read it over and over again  Leia, what is this? Why are there only a few sentences? He folded the paper and put it back into his wallet  These few sentences are already very precious. I took a lot of effort to copy them from the information department. He was about to close his wallet when a photo in his wallet made my thoughts go astray. There was a beautiful figure in the flash, and I quickly stopped him  Wait, who is the photo in your wallet?

Who? Leia was stunned when I asked . I pointed to his wallet  It's the photo in your wallet. Show it to me. I found that girl is quite beautiful. I don't want to introduce it to my brother since I met her. He looked at me  Go, go, go, What kind of girl ? He said, already stuffing his wallet into his clothes, looking a little guilty. As for that, I glanced at him and said, You’re too stingy, Leia, aren’t you just a girl ? , even if you look at it, I can’t steal it from you!

Leia obviously didn't want to talk about this issue, but since I was curious, I really wanted to know, so I brought the topic back again  Leia, look at my brother, I have never seen anything good in my whole life. Girl, I called the girl in your wallet today, what do you think?

What's going on? Just keep it that way. How dare you brazenly say you don't have a girlfriend? You're known as the most handsome guy in the SWAT team. You're known to have seen countless women. Now you're talking nonsense. Leia said and looked at me. I looked at him and realized that his expression didn't seem to be lying. But to be honest, I have no memory at all in my head. I remember the last time I talked to my dad on the phone, and he told me to have more Pay attention to nourishing your brain. Memory loss caused during travel must be recovered slowly. It seems that what Leia just talked about is probably 1% of my missing memory.

According to you, I had a girlfriend before? I quickly asked about Leia. In fact, I always felt that there was a very important person in my heart. I asked my dad last time, but he always flashed other questions. He didn't even ask for details about the lyrics. Now that Leia mentioned this, she hurriedly asked for details.

This, this, this... Leia began to be secretive again.

Damn, what's wrong with you tonight? Why are you so secretive? Can you stop it? I was a little angry. I always felt that he was hiding a lot of secrets and just wouldn't tell me. It was like a detective movie that threw a lot of puzzles at you but never gave you the answers. It's easy to get hurt. Leia saw that I was really angry and sighed  Okay, can't I tell you?

I was secretly happy in my heart, but my expression was still serious  Speak.

You did have a girlfriend once, the one in the photo! He said as he took out the wallet again and slowly opened it. I quickly moved over to get a better look, but at this moment the chandelier on the roof turned on , with a strange scream, it went out, and the whole room turned dark instantly. Leia and I were both shocked, what the hell is going on, the gloomy feeling came back, Leia and I were so skinny The pimple fell all over the floor and it definitely felt uncomfortable. I groped around quickly to find the light switch, and after pressing it for a few times, there was no response. It seemed that it was really not working. I thought to myself  Leia, the light is not working. Use your phone to take a photo. , I'll go to the bedroom and turn on the light! There was no response, so I shouted again  Leia, where are you, Leia!" Still no response, I was so frightened that I couldn't figure out what was going on. We stayed together well, but now there is no one there. The house is so big. No matter what happens, there is no way there will be no response at all. Could it be that the female ghost has kidnapped her?

I can't think so much now. Turning on the lights is the most important thing, and the most dangerous thing is in the dark. I thought about it and groped my way into the bedroom. I turned on the light with a click. As soon as the light came on, I felt relieved again. Using the light, I hurried to the living room to see what happened to Leia.

Leia! I shouted and came to the desk and found Leia lying on the ground, seemingly fainted. I quickly patted his face  Hey, hey, hey, Leia, wake up! Leia opened her eyes in confusion and touched the back of her head with her hand  Damn it, who was plotting against me just now!

How is that possible! I looked at him, What are you talking about? There are obviously only two of us in this room!

Chapter 6 The Third Person

Leia and I were discussing the photo, and the chandelier above our head suddenly went out. This sudden change shocked Leia and me. I quickly went to turn on the light in the bedroom, and when Leia came back, He was already lying on the ground, and I quickly patted him awake  Hey, hey, Leia, wake up! He opened his eyes in confusion and touched his head with his hand  Damn it, who was plotting behind his back just now? Me! I was stunned by him  How is that possible? It's obviously just the two of us in this room, there can't be a third person!

Just as I said this, there was a gust of cold wind behind me  Why is my back so cold?

Damn it, I told you there was someone! Leia shouted and ran towards the window. I didn't dare to neglect and followed closely behind. The window had been opened by someone, and the curtains were blown back and forth by the wind. An ivy He was clinging to the window frame tightly, and he was running down quickly along the ivy's rope.

Let's see if I don't throw you to death! Leia said and pulled the ivy off violently. There was a muffled sound. The man seemed to have fallen, but it was too dark outside to see clearly. Leia looked out the window hard, Damn it. , I don’t know if I fell to death or not!

I also looked out the window  It's so dark, I can't see clearly at all!

Don't care if it's black or not, I'm throwing a stool to kill him. Leia said, suddenly lifting a large solid wooden stool next to her and trying to throw it down. The stool got stuck on the window frame with a click, and I I quickly went to stop him  Hey, hey, hey, brother, don't be impulsive. There are only a few valuable guys in my family! What I said is all the truth. Although I am a private detective, there is no one who has taken over the job. If the case is too big, the money earned will be enough to live on. I bought these pieces of furniture when I was in the criminal police brigade. I snatched the stool out of Leia's hand  It looks like he has run away. Go and see what we have lost!

Everything else on the table was intact except for Leia's wallet, which was scattered in a mess. Money and cards were scattered everywhere. The place where the photos were placed had been torn out, and the photos I wanted to see were also missing. Leia picked up her wallet and said, This idiot took away the piece of paper I wrote and the photo! I could see it clearly even if he didn't say anything, my heart had already gone cold, and it looked like I couldn't see the photo anymore. Here we go, when did this third person come in? Neither Leia nor I noticed him. Could it be that he has been staring at me for a long time?

If you have been staring at me for a long time, then there will be a problem. It is normal to say that I used to be a sniper in the criminal police brigade. Maybe some big drug dealer wants to stop our sniper mission, but since I quit my job as a sniper, I have been staring at you. There's nothing left to stare at.

It's over, now I can't see the girlfriend you're talking about! I sighed, fell on the chair, and tried my best to make a smile on my face.

Leia looked at me as if she felt a little sorry, and patted my shoulder  It's okay, brother, don't you have a photo of Luo Yi at home ?

Her name is Luo Yi ? This was the first time I heard this name. I thought about it and shook my head  There is no such thing at all. If there is, how could I not see it after living for so long?

No, you guys liked taking pictures so much before, but you don't have any anymore! He said with some disbelief.

Damn it, I need to lie to you. It's all you who told me about the 'Underworld', my girlfriend, and the snake-shaped necklace tonight. It made me faint and my head hurts so much! I yelled! shouted at him. Leia looked at me with a bit of regret  I'm sorry, brother, don't think about it. Just sleep tonight and you'll be fine. Don't mind if I talk too much! What he said was clearly apologizing to me, and he felt soft. He patted him on the shoulder and said, I'm not blaming your brother! He stopped me and said, We have been brothers for so many years and I know you. Don't worry, I'll go back first.

I wanted to let him stay, after all, it was too late, but he insisted on going back, so I had to send him downstairs  Leia, please pay attention to safety when you go home. We will contact you tomorrow! He nodded, and then leaned against me His ear  Come to my house tomorrow afternoon, and I will show you all the information about Shinto Mingsha. At this time, he was still thinking about the underworld society. I nodded perfunctorily and didn't think much about it.

When I got home, I wanted to have a good sleep, but Leia's words kept lingering in my mind, the snake-shaped necklace, Shinto Myosha and the girlfriend I hadn't seen. After thinking about it for a long time, I dialed my dad's phone number. . It was already very late, and my father’s voice was a little unclear, so I said directly  Dad, I want to ask you something!

What's the matter? My son wants you to call so late! he said with a yawn.

Do I have a girlfriend? As soon as I finished speaking, the other end of the phone was silent, and my father hesitated and stopped talking.

Hey, Dad, tell the truth, I won't joke with you now! I said in a low voice, Is her name Luo Yi ? Dad seemed to have been holding it in for a long time and finally sighed and said  Hey, okay Xiao Wen , Dad won’t hide it from you, you are right, she is a good girl named Cheng Luoyi !

Cheng Luoyi !!

Chapter 7 Dead

my father said the words Cheng Luo Yi , I became angry  Dad, why did you tell me now? If Leia hadn't let the news slip today, I would have never known that I had a girlfriend in my life!

Xiao Wen, please don't get angry first. Listen to Dad's explanation. Your mother and I were afraid that you would remember her, so we hid it from you. Think about it, she is already dead. We are still young and handsome guys. We can't do it because of her. Let our Zhou family be the last to die! Dad said earnestly on the other end of the phone. I quickly interrupted him  Wait... Dad, why did you say she is dead? How could it be such a coincidence? I want to see her. It’s not good for you to say that she is dead, Dad, aren’t you clearly cursing your future daughter-in-law?

Well... Dad stopped immediately after hearing what I said. It seems that dad accidentally let it slip. When Leia told me, he didn't even say that Luo Yi was dead. Dad actually said that she had died long ago. And I know dad's character best. He has always been the real deal. There were several words , and things that were made out of nothing would never happen. Following these words, I quickly asked  Dad, tell me how she died!

This, this... Dad began to hesitate, Son, why do you need to get to the bottom of this matter? Just forget about her... By the way, why are you still up so late? Dad changed the subject. It was obvious that he was changing the subject, and it seemed that he couldn't get anything out of the question even if he continued to pester him. I thought about it for a while, but if it didn't work, I could just ask for a photo. I could use the photo to check it myself.

Okay, dad, stop talking. If you have any photos of her at home, fax me one! After thinking about it, I decisively interrupted my dad and directly stated what I needed. The dad on the other end of the phone yelled  What are you talking about, son? There are still photos of her at home. When we were cleaning up the house, we handed over all her things to the 'waste collector'. Now we need to find the real person. It's very troublesome!" As I listened, the phone almost fell to the ground. You are really my biological father, and you have cleaned everything up. It seems that there is really no chance, and now there are no photos.

Okay, dad, please go to bed first! I was a little disappointed. Since dad said he couldn't find it, I didn't need to waste my words. I was just thinking of a way. I thought about hanging up the phone.

Wait a minute, Xiaowen, it seems... there is one! Dad suddenly said this, and I regained my energy and said quickly  Dad, please don't gasp when you talk, your son can't stand it!

No, no, your mother reminded me just now that there seems to be a photo of her on the computer at home. You sent it to me when we were chatting! He yawned as he spoke, and I saw that the time was almost up. It was twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, which was a bit late  Dad, why don't you and mom go to bed first, and you can send it to me when you get up tomorrow morning! He said hello, yawned and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, I yawned a few times. I suppressed my sleepiness and thought about everything today. The root of everything seemed to be the snake-shaped necklace around my neck. I thought about taking it off and laying it flat on the table. , but why did the man in black want to snatch Leia's note and photo? The information on the note was about a group called Shinto Myosha. I remember it said that this society perished in 1952. Could it be that the man in black wanted to Looking for this community? But why did he steal the photos? Does it mean that my girlfriend still has something to do with Shinto Myosha? I thought hard, and there was a pain in my head. This damn head is here again. I can't think about it anymore. If I am thinking about it, I may have to lie on the floor in the living room again tonight. When I got back to bed, I could finally sleep peacefully tonight. Maybe the woman in white would come again, so I quickly closed my eyes and fell asleep quickly.

Ring, ring, ring ... The alarm rang, I opened my sleepy eyes and pressed the alarm as usual. I slept well that night. Although I had a few nightmares , the woman in white did not appear for the first time. I opened the curtains and saw that the sun had risen high. The sunlight was a bit dazzling. I looked at the time and it was already past nine in the morning. I packed up and went to my detective agency.

The detective agency is a little far from my home, but it is much closer to the city center. It only takes half an hour by bus. This house is not very big. I heard it was a supermarket before. Later, my father bought it and kept it for appreciation. (You should know that the house in Dalian was only 8,000 yuan per square meter a few years ago. Now it has risen to 13,000 or 14,000 yuan. Some houses near the light rail station are so expensive.) It happened that I resigned and had nothing to do, so I used this house to open a detective agency. A few days ago, I took over a case of a rich woman. Today is the time to hand in the case record.

The detective agency was very quiet . Apart from a desk, there was only a chair, a long sofa and a water dispenser. Leia was the most frequent client. I opened the pile of documents on the desk  Case 36, the third party! I said as I pulled out the stack of documents. Yes, this was the case of the rich woman. Although it was written as a third party, it was simply a rich woman who kept a handsome man and got a marriage certificate in private. But this so-called handsome man secretly found a beautiful girl and kept her with the rich woman 's money . Now the rich woman wanted to divorce, but the handsome man refused to do it. Who would let go of such a good cash cow? The rich woman had no choice but to ask me to collect the handsome man's secret activities and prepare to use the law to force him to divorce. In fact, the evidence was very easy to find. That so-called handsome guy was indeed a little out of line. If I were that rich woman and the law, I would hire a few thugs to beat him up and he would definitely behave himself. For example, when I was in the criminal police team, I once accompanied the interrogation of a perverted rapist. The man was very crazy at the beginning , but in the end he was completely subdued by our brothers in the criminal police team.

I thought that the door of the house had been opened, and a rich lady wearing mink, Ms. Wang, walked in. The sun just hit her gold and silver jewelry, which made my eyes hurt. Ms. Wang looked forty years old. She looked very handsome, and the makeup on her face was a bit heavy , especially those two big red lips, which made her look like an aunt in her fifties.

I handed the information to her  This is enough for you to win this lawsuit. Please transfer the remaining money to this account as agreed. I said and handed the written note to Ms. Wang. Just then the phone on the table rang. I saw it was Leia and quickly picked up the phone  Leia, wait a minute, I'll finish the work and look for you!

Come to my house...my house, save me, save me...Fumiko, save me... Leia's urgent cry for help came from the other end of the phone. I heard a buzzing in my head. He shouldn't be working in the information department at this time. Well?

Leia... As soon as I shouted, there was a violent fighting sound from the other side of the phone, a crisp click, and only a blind tone was left on the other side of the phone.

Chapter 8  Being calculated

This call from Leia was like a bomb, blowing my head off. After all , he is a member of the criminal police brigade like me . A few ordinary thieves would never ask me for help, and this At that time, he should be working in the Information Section of the Criminal Police Brigade. Why was he at home? I didn't think much about it and gave Ms. Wang a few words of advice before running out of the detective agency and taking a taxi to Leia's house.

I kept urging the driver to hurry up. This was a life-threatening situation. My heart was beating fast and I had a bad feeling. I ran through three red lights and finally arrived at Leia's house. He didn't live in a building like me. He lived in a small villa left to him by his parents. It was on the edge of the city, with trees on one side. The environment was good and the traffic was smooth. The only drawback was that there were too few neighbors and no one knew each other. If something happened, there would be no help.

The outermost door of the villa had been opened, and the door to the inner room was ajar. I took out the revolver from my pocket while running. Although residents are not allowed to own firearms in China, I am a retired criminal police brigade after all, and I am familiar with my former brothers, so they all turned a blind eye.

I held my breath and slowly kicked open the ajar door, pointing my pistol forward and walking carefully one step at a time. The house was in a mess, with all kinds of clothes and papers scattered on the floor, and the refrigerator was open. I really admire this man for not leaving the refrigerator alone. At this time, you can vaguely see a trail of blood on the stairs. The blood is still a little fresh, and there is a faint smell of blood.

Damn, it looks like something really happened! I cursed in my mind and didn't care so much. I hurriedly ran upstairs along the blood stains. The door of the room on the second floor was already wide open, and I could see it at first glance. Leia lying in a pool of blood.

Leia, Leia... I shouted and quickly picked him up, patting his face, Hey, Leia, wake up, wake up, I'll call an ambulance for you... I'll call an ambulance for you. I covered the wound on his neck with one hand and was about to make a phone call with the other hand. Leia's bleeding wouldn't stop at all. I looked carefully and found that Leia had not just one wound but seven, and each one was covered with blood. It seemed that the murderer wanted him to die from excessive blood loss!

Leia stopped my hand on the phone and said with great effort  No, don't...it's useless...you, listen to me... Then she pulled me over and struggled  Suck it...suck it... ...hood, range hood... I nodded and comforted him  Leia, you have to hold on! I said something moved in my eyes, he coughed blood, and his body reached its limit, God... said ... He struggled and continued, his blood-stained hands desperately reaching for my collar. I understood and quickly pulled open the collar. His eyes suddenly widened, and his expression was extremely distorted, as if he had seen purgatory on earth. , his hands were flailing like crazy and he pushed me away. He screamed in horror and froze in a pool of blood. I was also startled by what he just did. I took a breath and quickly stepped forward to touch him. By the time I was done, my body was already cold and it looked like there was no chance of anything going on.

What did he just say about the range hood? I whispered to myself and hurried to the kitchen. The kitchen was also turned upside down by the murderer. I took a look at the range hood in front of me and said, What's so special about this thing? I tried to open the lid inside. As soon as the lid opened, it clicked and a brown paper bag fell out. There were bloodstains on it. The word confidential was written in red ink on the seal. Is this what the murderer is looking for? I thought about it and wanted to open it.

Everyone in the room, raise your hands. Handing over your guns and surrendering is your only way out... Just as I wanted to look, a shrill horn sounded outside the house.

Fuck, what's going on? Why did the police come so soon! I said as I quickly stuffed the brown paper bag in my hand into the clothes on the back. It was obvious that someone wanted to frame me. They killed Leia first and then called the police after I arrived. Damn it, I'm a detective and I got tricked like this! I cursed in my heart, but at such a tense moment, the most important thing is to prove my innocence first.

At this time, dozens of heavily armed SWAT officers had already rushed to the second floor, with pistols pointed at me. I glanced out the window and saw that there were snipers hiding in the grass. Damn, what kind of equipment are these? , the SWAT team came and there were actually snipers, just like Leia said when I passed out at the foot of the mountain. Without allowing me to explain, I was tied up and put into the police car by several people. The driver was my colleague at the time, Che Weiguo. When he was in the team, everyone called him Truck. He was a very down-to-earth person. When he saw that I was being pressed up, his expression changed and he immediately whispered  Why is it you, Fumiko? Why are you running here if you don't have a good detective agency ? I was stunned by his question and asked him quickly.  

Damn, what's going on, Truck? How come so many people are involved? Truck looked around and whispered  You don't know yet, this kid Leia took a very important document from the information department. , the captain is furious... As he was about to finish his sentence, the door of the police car was opened, and a big man wearing a police hat got in. I saw it was the captain of our criminal police team, Zhang Qingtian, codename Qingtian. Zhu, Captain Aston is definitely the most fierce person I have ever seen. Several dangerous operations have been saved by Captain Aston. He is like a leader, and everyone in our criminal police team is absolutely loyal to him. Obedient and willing to die for him. Captain Aston slammed the car door hard and said with a dark face  Wenzi, why did you come to join in the fun, and you actually caused trouble for me! I looked aggrieved  Captain Aston, I really didn't mean to do it. You see, I am a good citizen. How can I cause trouble to you?

Don't talk nonsense, kid. I'm going to ask you something serious. Answer me truthfully, or don't blame me for being ruthless! Captain Aston said, and he became serious again. Seeing this, I quickly sat up straight. I couldn't be careless with the following questions, otherwise Captain Aston would really make me collapse. Captain Aston stared into my eyes  Zhou Wen, did you find a brown paper bag at the crime scene just now! He said, measuring the size of the brown paper bag with his hands. I looked at him and thought, isn't this the one Leia gave me before she died? Why did the captain suddenly ask this? Maybe we can find out who killed Leia from here. Now I can't admit to having seen it even if I die.

No, I didn't see it! I was a little nervous. After all, I felt a little guilty after telling lies. Captain Aston stared at me without saying anything, and cold sweat broke out on my forehead. To be honest, Captain Aston, I really didn’t see it. I was only thinking about saving Leia. It was you who taught us that human life is more important than heaven! Captain Aston continued to stare at me. If his eyes moved or I could relax a little if I blinked , but being stared at by him made me feel nervous. I swallowed hard and pretended to be calm. At this moment, Captain Aston suddenly stretched out his hand towards my neck. I instinctively drew my neck back. Captain Aston smiled  Your new necklace is quite good! I was startled and thought that just now Captain Aston wanted to pinch me, but he quickly laughed along with him  Yeah, well, that's okay... The truck next to Captain Aston also took a deep breath. It seemed that he had been frightened just now.

Just when we were all relaxing, I suddenly found a dark green mark on Captain Aston's palm, like a tattoo. Fortunately, his arm was resting on the back of the car seat. I looked carefully and saw that the tattoo was not another normal tattoo. It was a crooked little snake. I seemed to have seen it somewhere before, but I couldn't remember it for a while. I glanced up at Captain Aston, who was on the intercom checking the situation. In the team, Captain Aston was the most opposed to tattoos. I still remember one time when Trucks had a big dragon tattooed on his arm. It looked majestic. Captain Aston scolded us for a month after seeing it. He warned us  Bleeding injuries are OK, bullet holes and scars are OK, but tattoos are absolutely not allowed. How could Captain Aston, who is so serious, get his own tattoo? I would say it is impossible.

Thinking about this, I jokingly asked Truck  Since when did Captain Aston also like tattoos? Truck looked at me and said with a smile  You are just talking nonsense. How can Captain Aston have a tattoo? You forgot about me. ... As soon as he said these words, I knew something was wrong. Captain Aston suddenly pulled out a pistol and put it against the truck's head.

Chapter 9 Fake

Captain Aston's sudden shot caught both Truck and me by surprise. Truck looked at Captain Aston and thought he was joking  Captain, what show are you acting in! I was about to speak. , a familiar voice came from the intercom, and that voice turned out to be Captain Aston in front of him! Truck was a little stunned, glanced at me, and then looked at Captain Aston in front of him.

Hurry up and catch that impostor. What the hell do you have eyes for? Search all the units for me immediately ... Captain Aston was still roaring on the intercom. This was the first time he had been so angry. Captain Aston, who was sitting opposite us, turned off the intercom in his hand with a click, raised the corners of his face , and smiled like a clown. The atmosphere suddenly froze, and I glanced out of the car window. Captain Aston was roaring there, the brothers around him were busy, and the cordon was stretched out. What should I do? I have to send a distress signal to Captain Aston. Thinking of this, I carefully moved towards the car door.

What do you want to do! The fake Captain Aston suddenly glared at me and winked at the truck, Drive quickly, drive slowly, don't let anyone find out! He opened the safety of his pistol and his eyes narrowed into a line. The real Captain Aston could never have such a sinister expression. Damn, I cursed myself for being a fool. I didn't realize that this Captain Aston was fake just now. I ended up in such an embarrassing situation. The truck driver was a little anxious. If this goes on, wouldn't we become accomplices? I felt a little hot in my head thinking about it, and I didn't care so much. I rushed to the car window. There was a dull sound , and I saw stars. I didn't care about the confusion and shouted quickly  Captain Aston, Captain Aston, the fake one is...

Before I could finish my words, someone hit me on the head, making me dizzy and my head seemed to be split open. Something was flowing down my forehead. Then there were a series of fighting sounds. The car began to sway from side to side. There was a mess outside the car. The sound of sirens and shouting filled my ears. My hands were tied behind my back. The blood blurred my eyes. I couldn't see the two people fighting in front of me. I vaguely saw a woman fighting with a man. The blood -red broken knife appeared in front of me again. I blinked hard to see the person holding the knife...

Go quickly, Wenwen, go quickly, go quickly... A woman's voice sounded, and I also had auditory hallucinations in my ears. There was a loud bang, and the entire police car rolled over. My head was already dizzy, and now I had no resistance. As the police car somersaulted in the air, there was another loud noise, and the whole police car suddenly fell to the ground. On the ground, I was hit so dizzy that my eyelids finally couldn't hold on anymore and closed weakly.

When I opened my eyes again, I found that I was not lying in the police car but lying on the bed. The surroundings were filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant. When I smelled this, I guessed that I was lying in the hospital. The person next to me was wearing glasses. When the nurse saw that I was awake, she immediately waved to the outside of the room. Then several heavily armed SWAT team members surrounded my bed. The last person to appear was Captain Aston. He was still in the same military uniform, but his head was under a big cap. A white bandage can be vaguely seen on it.

Zhou Wen, you have to answer the following questions seriously, otherwise I will kill you! Captain Aston said with a dark face, and suddenly took out a pistol and slammed it on the table.

Officer, what are you doing? The patient has just woken up, please be careful with your words and actions! The little nurse wearing glasses suddenly said. I thought Captain Aston would be angry, but I didn't expect him to force a smile and whispered yes. This is too abnormal.

Who are you? In view of the last incident, I must not be fooled this time. I opened my mouth and asked Captain Aston whether he was true or false, although this question was a bit weak. Captain Aston's bad temper suddenly became angry again when he saw me complaining   "You fucking know how to ask this time, why didn't you know whether to ask whether
