Shen Xing was awakened by the vibrating sound of his cell phone at 2:15 in the morning.
In a daze, he took the special mobile phone of the special team and took a look. When he saw that the call was from Team Leader Gu Fei, he suddenly felt an ominous feeling in his heart.
After pressing the answer button, Gu Fei's familiar voice came, his tone seemed to be very low: "Shen Xing, don't be nervous. I have something important to tell you, so be mentally prepared."
"What happened?" Shen Xing sat up from the bed and turned on the bedside lamp.
"Two hours ago, Zhou Dao was attacked." Gu Fei said.
"How is he? Is he in danger?" Shen Xing asked hurriedly.
He had vaguely guessed that the attack might be related to him, or to the information background that he asked him to help investigate Lu Yuan.
"Don't worry, listen to me first." Gu Fei said: "At first we thought it was an anomaly. Later, after investigating the scene, we found that it was not an anomaly, but three human beings, but one transformed into a beast, one transformed into a corpse, and the other It’s deceptive.”
"The one who transformed into a beast ran away and broke the window of Zhou Dao's car. The one who transformed into a corpse was shot twice in the head by Zhou Dao. He was arrested in the special task force building, but committed suicide shortly after being arrested. The flesh and blood were the same as what you encountered at home last time. They all turned into a pool of corpse water on their own. As for the third one, it was a deceitful human being. She was a woman. She and Zhou Dao both died in the process of entanglement on the way to the archives room. In the passage on the first floor below."
"Ah, Zhou Dao is dead!?" Shen Xing was shocked.
"Don't worry, just listen to me first." Gu Fei still sounded like Shen Xing wanted to slap him twice, "After we rushed to the scene, we found that Zhou Dao was indeed dead. He was used by the woman in a strange state. The hair strands severed the trachea and esophagus, and blood flowed all over the floor."
Shen Xing clenched his fists tightly, and Gu Fei's voice continued to be heard in his ears: "The body was placed nearby in the forensic room, waiting for further dissection. But just half an hour ago, news came from the forensic room that it was Zhou Dao The body suddenly moved."
Shen Xing was stunned: "He is resurrected? Didn't he say last time that the number of resurrections has been exhausted?"
"So we were all deceived by him! This old boy, when I rushed to the forensic room, he had already sat up. The forensic doctor was frightened and fainted. His head hit the gurney and his face was covered with blood." Gu Fei was furious, but there was excitement in his tone, "I asked him what happened, and he said that he might have remembered it wrong, and that there should be another chance to be resurrected."
After finishing his words, Gu Fei said with anger and laughter: "How the hell can I remember it wrong? Fortunately, this old boy remembered it wrong! You don't know that an hour ago, Old Ding was lying on his body, crying to death. Yes. Well, if you don’t talk about this, don’t talk about it everywhere. Lao Ding takes care of his own face and won’t let you talk nonsense.”
"Yes, I know." Shen Xing nodded, "Is Zhou Dao okay now?"
"It's okay. All my injuries have recovered after I came back to life. I'm more energetic than I was after working all night." Gu Fei seemed to be walking around as he spoke.
He had just experienced a great tragedy and joy. At this moment, his tense spirit was completely relaxed, and he kept using curse words when he spoke unknowingly. However, Shen Xing completely understood his mood at the moment, so he didn't care.
Not long after, there were voices around Gu Fei, and he heard him say: "Wait a minute, I'll let this old boy talk to you himself."
After a while, Zhou Dao's voice sounded, slightly hoarse, possibly because the trachea and vocal cords were not smooth after recovery.
"Are you okay over there?" Zhou Dao asked.
"Don't worry about me here. You can take care of yourself." Shen Xing said, "Thankfully you remembered it wrong. You scared me to death just now!"
"Everyone was scared." Zhou Dao laughed over there, a little heartless, "I was raised by a dog | mother | and used people who transformed into beasts, corpses and deceitful people to assassinate me. I escaped this."
After finishing his words, Zhou Dao lowered his voice: "Right now, only team leader Gu Fei is beside me. No one knows that I survived except Lao Gu, Lao Ding, you, and the forensic doctor who was stunned. So I I'm going to use the trick. I'm not going to 'come back to life' right away this time. I have to turn that guy's old bottom upside down first."
Shen Xing paused and nodded slightly. It had to be said that this trick was used very cleverly. The other party would never suspect that Zhou Dao was not only not dead, but was still continuing to investigate them.
On the surface, neither Ding Wenying nor Gu Fei will interfere in this matter anymore, and there is no suspicion, and they will not arouse suspicion from others.
"This matter may be closely related to the above. Although they think you are dead, you still have to be careful." Shen Xing said.
"I know that." Zhou Dao seemed to be very comfortable with handling his identity after his "death", without any burden at all.
And their current call was made through a dedicated line. This dedicated line is randomly dialed from the internal network and cannot be recorded. Even the special team cannot monitor it. If the two of them want to contact each other in the future, they can also use this method.
Zhou Dao told Shen Xing one by one the suspicious things about Lu Yuan that he had found so far, including the experience that this guy had a terminal brain tumor and recovered and left the hospital two months later.
Shen Xing wrote it down carefully.
After some more warnings, he hung up the phone. He was relieved and secretly wondered whether this guy Zhou Dao really remembered it wrongly in a trance, or whether he had kept it this time.
If Zhou Dao himself didn't say it, others wouldn't know whether he concealed his trump card accidentally or intentionally.
It's just that these are not important anymore. What's important is that people are fine.
After this phone call, Shen Xing felt no sleep at all. He got up from the bed and went to the bathroom.
After coming out of the bathroom, he casually picked up a piece of golden nan wood that he brought with him this time, rubbed it in his hands, stood in front of the window, and habitually cast his eyes towards the White Tower Building diagonally opposite.
The lights outside the window are brightly lit at the moment.
Although the lights in most of the windows in the White Tower Building have been turned off, there are still a few windows that are lit at this time. It is not known whether those inside are people working overtime or people who are already resting in the building.
Shen Xing's eyes glanced up from the door of the building unconsciously. When he passed a certain floor, he suddenly felt like he was being watched.
Then he looked down and saw that a window on that floor had the light turned off at this moment, but Shen Xing was sure that the light in the window was still on just now.
Because the floor of the White Tower Building opposite was too high, even though the hotel room he was in at the moment was on the 28th floor, he was still looking at the opposite side with his head raised.
Shen Xing did not dare to look away, fearing that he would recognize the wrong floor if he was in a trance. He immediately moved his eyes carefully, looking for places on this floor that were different from other floors.
Windows passed by before his eyes, and not long after, he found one of the windows. There was some kind of plant placed on the windowsill, which was somewhat similar to a cactus, but he was not sure because it was too far away.
But this is a location that clearly distinguishes it from other windowsills.
After Shen Xing checked up and down again, he determined that there were no similar furnishings nearby, and then moved his eyes to the first floor and started counting up each floor.
Fortunately, the weather at this time was not bad. Although it was night, the street lights were brightly lit, dyeing half of the sky red. In addition, there were also lights projected from other parts of the city.
When he counted to the 45th floor, Shen Xing saw the window sill with plants, and then panned the fifth window to the right and found the window where he seemed to be looking at him just now.
At this time, his eyes had begun to sore, and he couldn't help but shed tears. After confirming for the second time, Shen Xing withdrew his gaze, went to the bathroom, dipped a towel in hot water, applied it, and lay down on the bed.
After determining the location of that floor, there will be a focus during the investigation tomorrow morning.
On the desk in the room at the moment, there was a wooden carving of the Black Domain Messenger that Shen Xing carried with him, as well as a few pieces of wood that were easy to carry.
If he can determine what the "Compound Eye" looks like, he will quickly carve a wooden sculpture of the compound eye and contain it.
As for the Wooden Sculpture of the Black Domain Messenger, although I don’t know if an anomaly that is at least sub-super level or above will be contained after touching my own wooden sculpture, it is always more appropriate to make one and take it with you.
It's just that Shen Xing has a feeling that it's not that simple to absorb the messengers of the black domain. Perhaps some additional conditions must be met.
Just now, he noticed that someone on the opposite side was watching him. This was just a subconscious intuition. It came from Shen Xing's keen observation of abnormal situations. It did not mean that his eyesight was already better than some abnormal situations.
And that look just now, if it really comes from an abnormality, is very likely to be a "compound eye", because the vision of compound eyes is already amazing.
According to the text, if his visual nerve is more developed than that of a fly, it should be 360 degrees with no blind spots.
That is to say, even if this guy has his back to you, he can still observe your every move behind him through his compound eyes, and nothing can be hidden from his eyes.
It's just that the fly's compound eyes occupy most of the head, almost growing on the top of the head. Naturally, it can observe 360 degrees without blind spots. However, if this abnormal compound eye wants to achieve this effect, it is possible that the pair of terrifying eyes must grow on the top of the head. ?
Thinking of this, Shen Xing suddenly felt a creepy feeling, especially the scene in his mind where a large number of extremely large and densely packed compound eye lenses appeared. If you have trypophobia, you will get goosebumps just thinking about this scene.
Thinking in his mind, Shen Xing slowly began to have random thoughts. Finally, he didn't know when he fell asleep, but it was already bright when he woke up.
Originally, his nap was disturbed last night and he could continue to sleep, but now he was woken up by the vibration of his cell phone. It was Lu Yang who called him.
After answering the phone, Lu Yang said: "Brother Shen, I have arrived outside your room. Please open the door."
Shen Xing got up and opened the door.
Lu Yang was a nice young man. When he came up, he brought Shen Xing a breakfast, a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge and a drawer of steamed buns, which were placed steamingly on the table.
Shen Xing thanked him, went to the bathroom to wash up, and ate breakfast after coming out.
Lu Yang said: "I have already applied for the investigation order. Will you be there soon?"
"Yes." Shen Xing nodded, "First check the five people we decided on yesterday, and then go to the 45th floor to have a look."
Lu Yang didn't know why he wanted to go to the 45th floor, but he didn't ask any more questions.
The two quickly went out across the street and came to the White Tower Building opposite.
He showed his ID and investigation order and registered at the door of the building. Not long after, a property manager arrived, wearing a standard property management professional suit, a black suit with a white shirt underneath.
Because the security guard had notified the property management company during the registration process, the receptionist was immediately sent over to help the Sheriff investigate.
On the surface, ordinary people can't see any difference between the certificates used by Lu Yang for registration and ordinary peace officers, so they are just regarded as peace officers.
"Hello Mr. Sheriff, I don't know what you want to investigate?" The male receptionist smiled.
As the property management company of the Baita Building, the tallest building in the city, this company is one of the best in Ningzhou. It is very powerful and its boss is very familiar with the city's top officials.
Therefore, even when facing the sheriff, their attitude was just law-abiding, maintaining proper etiquette, and did not show any deliberate attempt to please.
"There is a case involving a suspect, who may be in this building. We need to launch an investigation. I would like to ask you to cooperate." Lu Yang said.
"Oh, that's it. Wait for me to make a call. Sorry." The receptionist immediately went to the side and made a phone call, obviously asking for instructions from above.
Not long after, he hung up the phone and came over, smiling and saying, "No problem, I'll take you up to have a look."
Lu Yang took out a pre-printed list, pointed to the five people's information on it, and said: "Let's take a look at these five people first, one by one. Well, the first one is at Liyang Information Consulting Company on the 7th floor. …”
"Wait a minute." Shen Xing suddenly spoke, then lowered his voice and said to Lu Yang, "I changed my mind. Let's go to the 45th floor first."
The look in his eyes last night suddenly and obviously noticed him. Shen Xing suddenly realized at this moment that if he missed the opportunity during the investigation of those five people and made the guy on the 45th floor defensive, it would be detrimental to his investigation. .
So he decided to change his strategy and check the 45th floor first.
Lu Yang was slightly stunned, but he did not ask the reason. Instead, he nodded immediately and turned to the receptionist: "Let's go to the 45th floor first."
"Well, who are you looking for?" The receptionist looked at the list.
"This person is not on the list." Shen Xing said.
The receptionist glanced at him, said nothing, turned around and led the way, and the three of them quickly took the elevator and started going up.
Because there are many floors, there are 20 elevators here, 15 of which are high-speed elevators, and the other five only serve floors below the 20th floor.
"There are two units on the forty-fifth floor." As the elevator went up, the receptionist introduced: "One is Baita Cleaning Company, a subsidiary unit of the Civil Affairs Department, and the other is a game company. The games they produce You should all have played "Money Empire", a game..."
"Sorry, I don't play games." Shen Xing said.
He was busy making wood carvings all day long and couldn't finish it. He really didn't have time to play games.
Lu Yang also shook his head: "I'm too busy with work and don't have time to play, but I've heard of it."
The receptionist smiled. At this time, the elevator door opened and he walked out immediately.
"Well, which company are you looking for?"
Lu Yang did not answer, but looked at Shen Xing.
Shen Xing stood in the corridor and looked around. At this time, the girl at the front desk of the game company had turned her head and looked over.
After Shen Xing determined the location of the hotel he was staying in at the moment, he looked in the direction of the game company. He estimated that the room where the window was located yesterday was probably the game company's side and had little to do with the cleaning company.
Three people came to the front desk of the game company.
The receptionist who was with them had already taken out a name tag and hung it on his left chest. He said to the girl at the front desk: "Hello, I am from the real estate department. I may have to come into your company for something. Could you please ask someone to come out to receive you? .”
The girl at the front desk was a little surprised, but she quickly made a call. Not long after, a tall, short-haired woman in professional attire came out.
After seeing Shen Xing and the others, she asked, "Hello, are you two okay?"
"Yes." Lu Yang took the words and immediately showed his ID, "Can I go in and have a look?"
"They have an investigation order." The property receptionist next to him added.
The short-haired woman was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, do you need me to call the manager over?"
"No need." Shen Xing shook his head, pointed to a closed door in the corner of the large office room inside the transparent glass door, and asked, "Whose office does that belong to?"
The location of that room, viewed from the direction of the hotel, was almost exactly where the window Shen Xing saw last night was.
The short-haired woman looked surprised and replied, "That's our manager's office."
