Bincheng.
Two o'clock in the evening.
"Damn!!! I can't finish processing all this information, so what else can I do!"
"The world was peaceful when I didn't work as a policeman. But when I became a policeman, all ghosts came out. Is it because my horoscope does not match the world?!!!"
Lu Xin scratched her head and then covered her ears, but Li Que's complaints still penetrated through her fingers.
"No, let's eat a bowl of instant noodles first."
Li Que walked out of the case room. He scratched his head. His hair was in strands because it was too oily. His thick beard covered his chin, making him look like a homeless man.
He yawned, shook his head and said:
"Captain Lu, let's take a break and have some instant noodles. I think we are all soldiers. Except for those Taoist believers, there are no ghosts here!"
Seeing Li Que's appearance, Lu Xin couldn't blame him and just sighed.
Because their city is adjacent to Shangcheng, the influence of Taoist believers is still very large, and the combat readiness is far less developed than Shangcheng. Shangcheng is now too busy to take care of itself, and it is impossible to help them resist.
They can only rely on the garrisoned army to deal with it slowly. Even so, the Taoist believers are also evolving very quickly, and the progress of the army is getting slower and slower.
As police officers, they have been doing things to evacuate people and give the army more time. They haven't had a good night's sleep in a long time.
But what makes them most helpless is that they not only have to deal with ghost incidents, they also have to deal with many non-ghost incidents.
For example, because the victim practiced Taoism, the victim's family was unable to accept this fact, causing riots at the police station, street demonstrations, and suicide. The depression rate among the people has generally increased with the dramatic changes of the times.
The most serious ones are those who file false police reports.
He said that a ghost came into his home, but in fact it was a cat that came into his home. He said that his son practiced Taoism, but he secretly went for plastic surgery and became more handsome...
"You know, there was a crazy man yesterday. He said that he had come to the police station to report to the police many times. Why didn't they call the police? Why didn't they save him? If I hadn't been at the police station these days, I would I really believe it.”
"I'm not afraid that he will complain. I really suggest that he go to a mental hospital and have his brain checked."
"The situation is not chaotic yet, but people's hearts are in chaos."
Lu Xin became irritated after being told that. She threw the file in her hand towards Li Que and said:
"We are all small police officers. If we can handle so much, we are all the executioners."
It's just that... human panic is also a very powerful ghost.
"Ring ring ring, ring ring ring."
The police station phone rang. Li Que rolled his eyes and returned to the crime team. Lu Xin pursed her lips and answered the phone:
"Hello...this is the police station..."
"Police, officer!!"
"Ohh Ohh ohh."
"Ma'am, please calm down and explain the problems you are currently facing."
"I'm sorry, but I can't calm down!!"
"My, my sister... committed suicide."
...
...
Hope Apartment, room number 2407.
Lu Xin pulled up the police tape, and Li Que pressed his messy hair with a police hat, put on a mask and white gloves, and looked up at the ceiling.
On the roof of the room, a woman was hung from the hook of the lamp. Her tongue was stretched out extremely long, and her wide pupils were looking at the ground. There was great fear and regret on her face, and her dull eyes were just right. He met Li Que's eyes.
Li Que shuddered, but more out of regret.
"Captain Lu, I have seen the deceased."
Lu Xin was stunned and looked at Li Que, meeting those regretful eyes.
"Do you usually watch short videos? If you do, you should be able to view her videos."
Lu Xin looked at this ferocious blue face, and it suddenly felt familiar. After Li Que's reminder, the face in Lu Xin's memory overlapped with the scene.
"Is she the latest Internet celebrity 'Cat Angel'?"
"That's right... I like her so much. I remember seeing the video of her being secretly filmed. Under the afterglow of the sunset, she tried her best to ask for help to treat the kitten, and cried when she failed. Buried the kitten in the flower bed, and finally looked at the camera with a panicked face and a forced smile."
"That's the smile!"
"The helplessness towards fate, the unwillingness to accept fate but not succumb to it."
"In this day and age, there can still be such a selfless girl... She is obviously a gift in troubled times and a gift from mankind."
"But now...even such girls have committed suicide."
"Has this era really been so completely broken?"
Li Que sighed with emotion. Seeing the goddess die by hanging, he even felt short of breath.
Such a girl can give people faith, and obviously such faith can encourage many people to live.
But she herself did not survive.
She was such a sunny and cheerful being, how could such a girl commit suicide... What a shame.
But what is impossible to happen in this era? Maybe a close acquaintance will die in front of you in the next second, or you may wake up and look at the sleepwalker, understanding that each other is already half-footed in the graveyard.
"Hello...are you a family member of the deceased?"
Lu Xin's voice came from the room, and Li Que looked at Lu Xin speechlessly. She didn't see the sadness in her feelings at all.
At this moment, Lu Xin had already walked to the crying girl, took out her notes and asked:
"Hello, maybe you are very sad right now, but we must briefly cross-examine you."
"Can you please briefly introduce the relationship between the deceased and you?"
Lu Xin looked at the girl with a smile. After seeing clearly, she realized how similar the girl was to the deceased. Only a mole at the corner of her mouth clearly distinguished the two of them.
"well."
The girl was sobbing, with fear in her eyes. She pursed her lips and stammered:
"My name is Zhang Ru, Liang, and the deceased was my sister... Zhang Ruyue."
"My sister is an internet celebrity. You may have seen her, but I don't have much contact with her on weekdays because I work as a clerk and am very busy at work."
"I also often watch her videos. I am very happy to see that she has become popular recently."
"But I didn't know that she would actually commit suicide... If that were the case, I would definitely care more about her..."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
"The crying sounded again, Lu Xin frowned and said with some doubts:
"When did you find out she was dead? Why did you come to her house tonight?"
"me......"
Zhang Ruliang thought for a while, his eyes were a little distracted, and then he said hollowly:
"Because she called me tonight. She said she was scared and lonely and asked me to come to her..."
"I'm late..."
Afraid?
What is she afraid of?
Lu Xinnao frowned, feeling something strange here, and asked:
"Then do you think there's anything weird about her in daily life? For example... bumping into ghosts or something?"
"Hit a ghost?"
Zhang Ruliang raised her head in surprise. She paused, and her eyes showed a light. Her breathing suddenly became rapid, and she leaned forward, close to Lu Xin. Then she looked at Lu Xin with pleading eyes, opened her mouth, and trembled. He said:
"No."
