The rusty bus license plate is crooked beside the pavilion, and the bus covered with advertisements only stops for a moment and then quickly escapes, kicking up flying dust on the road.
"Ahem."
The dust entered the lungs and provoked a series of coughs among passers-by.
Li Changan covered his mouth and nose and walked out of the bus booth.
He raised his head and looked around. All he could see were old houses with mottled walls. Between the houses, there were sheds erected illegally, making the narrow streets even tighter. There seems to be little cleaning on the road. There are piles of garbage with flies flying around in the corners and beside the trash cans. When the wind blows, plastic bags and dust fly away.
"Mr. Li." A voice with a slight Hong Kong and Taiwanese accent said, "This way."
Li Changan looked sideways, and saw Zhang Suxuan standing on the roadside in a plain white training uniform with his hands behind his hands. His silver-white hair was neatly combed back, and his posture was leisurely and peaceful. In a "troubled world", he actually had a sense of independence from the world.
Otherwise, there is someone who is the Patriarch, who is born to do a certain profession!
If anyone else, in this environment, at this age, dressed like this, would be like a square dancer strolling downstairs. But this "Master" Zhang was stunned to let him show some "immortal spirit."
It's a pity that fakes are still fakes, otherwise they wouldn't find me.
Li Changan smiled and stepped forward to join him.
Yesterday, Zhang Suxuan asked Li Changan for help as soon as he called. Originally, Li Changan was suffering from various injuries and was planning to recuperate at home, but he was sure to refuse. But in the blink of an eye, although I made a small amount of money from Boss Liu last time, I later purchased a lot of useless materials and equipment, especially the bottle of Lai Mao prepared for the veteran and the specially customized long sword around my waist. It's the biggest among the big ones. This money has already been spent.
The right way is to find a penny difficult for a hero, and Li Changan himself is unwilling to engage in business such as stealing or fraud, so he has no choice but to accept the offer to make ends meet.
To be honest, even though he agreed, Li Changan was still a little strange. A magician like Zhang Suxuan should be like a scientific researcher and have the least belief in supernatural things. Even if it happens before their eyes, most people will stubbornly find an excuse to deny it. I don’t know why the concept of this “Master” changed so quickly? As soon as something happened, he immediately found his cousin, Li Changan.
As a magician, observing people's emotions is the key to eating. Zhang Suxuan somehow guessed Li Changan's thoughts.
"Mr. Li is a true expert, and I, 'Gui Li,' don't dare to lie to you."
"Counting from the generation of my master's master, my method has been passed down to three generations. Although my ancestors also passed down some things about Feng Shui, divination and divination, and warding off disasters and warding off evil spirits, they are all dragon-slaying skills. Really I’ve never encountered this kind of stuff before.”
"Until I bumped into the fox demon and zombie last time, it seemed like a hole was opened. The last few deals..."
Zhang Suxuan suddenly remained silent, and waited for Li Changan to take the bait and speak. But there must be something behind this confession. Li Changan felt bright and looked at him with half-smiling eyes.
He laughed dryly, waved his hands and sighed.
"...It's okay not to mention it."
With that said, he stepped forward to lead the way.
"Mr. Li, that place is a bit difficult to find. I'll take you there first."
"No need." Li Changan took a step past him, "I'm familiar with this place."
After that, he led Zhang Suxuan through a small supermarket on a familiar road, turned into an alley, and walked a hundred steps along the alley. When he looked up, he saw the entrance of a community.
A short, fat young policeman had been waiting in front of the community security booth for a long time. As soon as he saw the two of them, he immediately came over to greet them.
"Mr. Zhang, you are here."
Zhang Suxuan nodded reservedly and immediately introduced Li Changan to him.
"Xiao Tang, this is Mr. Li Changan Li. Despite his young age, he is profound in Taoism. I hired him specifically for this case."
After hearing this, the policeman surnamed Tang quickly greeted Li Changan and then led the two of them into the community.
"Come, Master Zhang, Mr. Li, the crime scene is on the eighth floor of Building 1."
………………
The matter that Zhang Suxuan asked Li Changan to help with was a murder case. It was not that he asked Li Changan to solve the case. He didn't have the ability. Just because the death of the deceased was really weird, I asked Li Changan to come over to see if there were any supernatural factors in it.
Li Changan also asked briefly on the phone that the deceased and the suspected personnel were actually not related to Zhang Suxuan, which meant that it was purely official business.
Zhang Suxuan is a magic stick, so enthusiastic about participating in it, he also spent his own money to invite Li Changan. If there was nothing fishy in it, no one would believe it, but Li Changan himself never liked prying into people's privacy, so he didn't ask in detail.
……………………
The building is an old-fashioned residential building with only corridors and no elevators.
The three of them climbed up in one breath, all panting.
After taking a breath, Xiao Tang opened the seal on a security door and took out the key.
"What are you doing?!"
There was a sharp shout, and a beauty in police uniform rushed up in the corridor.
To say she is a beauty is actually a polite term. The policewoman who came up here was about thirty years old. Although her facial features were acceptable, the skin on her face was a bit rough and dull, and she didn't even wear any light makeup. With a strong body and neat movements, you can tell at a glance that he is a capable character who can go through thick and thin.
When such a person suddenly appeared, Li Changan just thought it was because the internal communication of the police was not in place, and he didn't take it seriously. But in the blink of an eye, he saw Xiao Tang, with cold sweat breaking out on his fat face; and when he looked at Zhang Suxuan, the old magician was already rubbing his hands and approaching him. , His eyebrows and eyes are full of flattery.
"Shaoyun..."
Unexpectedly, the policewoman glared.
"Who is 'Shaoyun'? My name is Zhang Qian!"
The policewoman's words choked the old man to the point of being speechless, and then she stared at Xiao Tang menacingly.
"Do you know what you are doing? As a people's policeman, you actually brought two unrelated people into the crime scene. If any important evidence is destroyed, can you bear the responsibility?!"
Under the majesty of the female, Xiao Tang's legs trembled.
"Zhang...Captain Zhang, I'm not me, I'm the director..."
"Xiao Tang is right, Director Wang asked me to handle this matter..." Zhang Suxuan quickly intervened to smooth things over.
"Shaoyun, Director Wang has already handed over this matter to me, so please don't interfere anymore."
"I said! My name is Zhang Qian!" the policewoman emphasized again, anger boiling in her eyes.
"What do you mean I shouldn't interfere? Am I the police or are you the police?!"
Seeing that this "volcano" was about to erupt again, suddenly, the policewoman's cell phone rang in her trouser pocket.
She picked it up and looked at it, then pressed the answer button with a look of reluctance on her face. Then her face changed from gloomy to gloomier.
Here, Xiao Tang quietly stuffed his phone back into his pocket. Li Changan gave him a thumbs up, and he winked a few times, signaling not to let the other party find out.
After a while, the policewoman hung up the phone, but her face turned black.
She hummed a few times and said the next sentence.
"No damage to the scene is allowed."
He stormed downstairs, as if he didn't want to look at anyone present.
Zhang Suxuan opened his mouth towards her back, but in the end no words came out. Turning his head, he cupped his hands with Li Changan and said to Xiao Tang.
"Xiao Tang, please open the door."
……………………
The security door opened, and dull, decaying air immediately poured out.
The three people immediately covered their noses.
"I'll open the window first and get some air."
Xiao Tang said and trotted to the window.
Zhang Suxuan called out quickly.
"No, no, no! We need to protect the scene."
As a result, Li Changan had no choice but to look around in this stuffy air.
This should be a rental room.
There are no tiles on the floor. Although there are some furniture in the room, they are not complete sets.
Some people probably bought it and waited for it to appreciate in value, then simply decorated it and then rented it out to generate income. Li Changan took a quick look and saw that there was a whole box of cockroach poison placed in the corner of the living room, and there were surveillance cameras in the four corners!
Xiao Tang led the two of them into the bedroom of the house again.
As soon as the bedroom door was opened, the putrid smell in the air became stronger.
The deceased's body fell on the chair in front of the computer desk in the bedroom.
Previously, Zhang Suxuan did not explain clearly how the deceased died on the phone. He only said that it was very strange.
But for some reason, the police did not remove the body even though the deceased had been found for some time.
Xiao Tang has already begun to tell the basic situation of the deceased.
"The deceased's surname is Qian, his name is Qian Cheng. He is 22 years old. He just graduated from college and came to the city to work alone. He is now working in an Internet company..."
Xiao Tang was looking down at the archives and reading from the script. Li Changan had already walked over. He turned his chair so that the deceased's face faced him, and then frowned.
There were no obvious injuries or blood stains on the body of the deceased, but his expression was distorted, his mouth was slightly open, and his eyes were staring. The position of the eyeballs seemed to be a little...offset?
Although the appearance of death was somewhat terrifying, that was not what made Li Changan frown. He vaguely saw that this person looked familiar, as if he was somewhere...
"do not move!"
While Li Changan was thinking, Xiao Tang suddenly shouted, which startled Zhang Suxuan.
"how?"
At this time, Xiao Tang's fat face was even more nervous than facing the policewoman. Just as Li Changan asked, he suddenly heard a small strange sound.
Although it was slight, it was extremely clear in a room with closed windows and doors.
Several people turned to look at the same time and saw the deceased's left eyeball moving slightly to the left, no! The eyeball must have been pushed to the left!
The inner corner of the deceased's eye bulged slightly, and then a tentacle emerged from it. Then, the eyeball of the deceased was squeezed so much that it almost bulged out of the eye socket. Two insect legs with short hooks grabbed the withered yellow eyeball, and a cockroach emerged from the deceased's eyeball. Eyes popped out!
Xiao Tang's face turned pale.
"Run!"
He roared with a cry.
However, it was too late.
"boom."
I saw that the two eyeballs of the deceased flew out at the same time.
Then, countless cockroaches poured out from the deceased's eyes, nose, ears, and mouth, like a dark wave, hitting the ceiling, and then rolled back.
In an instant, insects blocked the doors and windows.
Amidst the buzzing sound of wings, insects swooped at the three of them from all directions!
