Sixteen new customers had moved in, which caused the forensic department to be somewhat insufficient.
Forensic doctors from other cities and provinces began to conduct autopsies together. Any traces would be gathered back, and then a large number of police forces began to investigate the case.
The entire Tongcheng police station, and even more than half of the police forces in Su Province, began to devote themselves to the investigation of this major case. Before the media completely caught wind of the situation, they had to seize the time and quickly find clues.
At this critical juncture, Zhou Ze and an drove back to the bookstore,
this was like playing a game. You had just defeated a BOSS, and just when you were feeling satisfied and satisfied that this game was quite interesting…
suddenly, I tell you…
there are still fifteen bosses waiting for you to conquer,
you will probably feel that this game is a little boring.
It may be a little inappropriate to say this, but this was indeed Boss Zhou’s current state of mind. He was tired, and this detective game had been played to his heart’s content. Because of this, he was too lazy to continue following up on the larger conspiracy that was involved.
Salted fish turned over because they wanted to bask in the sun on both sides.
If they kept tossing and turning, they would turn into salted fish dried.
Back in the study room,
he took a shower first,
after changing his clothes, Zhou Ze lay down on the sofa.
Bai Yingying brought a cup of coffee.
Zhou Ze immediately perked up. He sat up. It was a familiar smell and a familiar style.
“You bought this?”
“Yes, Boss.” Bai Yingying nodded.
“You’ve put in a lot of effort.”
He took a sip of his coffee,
the familiar smell of cat feces,
he was convinced.
Lawyer An, who was sitting next to him, also stood up and walked behind the bar counter.
Zhou Ze’s hand holding the cup trembled slightly.
He recalled the horror of waking up that morning and being dominated by Lawyer An’s huge, insulated cup!
“Don’t worry, boss, I’ve hidden your coffee in my bedroom. What’s underneath is the Nestle instant solution that’s about to expire due to today’s supermarket sale.”
As she spoke, Bai Yingying shot a fierce glance at the bar counter,
daring to snatch the boss’s bones,
oh No,
daring to snatch the boss’s coffee to drink,
damn it!
When Lawyer An walked out,
he was holding his signature large thermos mug in his hand,
it was so large that he didn’t have any friends,
he even deliberately waved it in front of Zhou Ze as if he was demonstrating.
Zhou Ze couldn’t be bothered with him.
Lawyer An suddenly felt that it was a little boring,
after taking a sip,
he wondered if it was because of his own psychological reasons,
this coffee also became a lot duller.
After taking a sip, he sneaked a glance at Zhou Ze. Seeing that Zhou Ze still didn’t respond, Lawyer An simply gulped down the coffee. Let’s see if your heartaches!
After a round of drinking…
Zhou Ze was still calmly holding his cup and slowly sipping his coffee.
He thought to himself, Nestlé’s instant coffee isn’t cheap either. After all, this stuff is used as water to drink. Next time, I should ask Yingying to collect a few boxes of expired, cheaper coffee for Old An to drink.
His phone rang at this time. It was Old Zhang’s phone.
Old Zhang was probably a little anxious when he returned to the office after a round of work and realized that his boss and Lawyer An were no longer there.
“Hello.”
“Boss, where have you guys been?”
“We’re outside investigating. I’ll inform you if we have any clues.”
“SOB, SOB, sob.”
“…” Old Zhang.
“Oh, I’ll bring Yingying with me outside to investigate.”
“…” Old Zhang.
“It’s like this, boss. According to the preliminary analysis of the bones, the time of death of each body has an obvious time gradient. That is to say, the murderer that we guessed before is killing people in sections or even one person a year. It is very likely.”
“Yes.” Zhou Ze yawned.
“But now there is a problem. The latest skeleton has been around for more than a year.” Old Zhang said anxiously, “In other words, this year’s murderer hasn’t killed anyone yet. In addition, there are marks on the bones that are thought to be damaged. There are signs of cutting on the bones.”
“Okay.”
“Boss, we must hurry up with this case. This year’s murderer hasn’t killed anyone yet. If we don’t catch the murderer soon, I’m really worried…”
“Then you can do your best. Don’t worry. The people in the study room will always be your strongest support!”
The free chicken soup was thrown away.
“How about this? If I find anything else here, I’ll report it to you, Boss.”
“Okay, okay.”
“Or, boss, come to the station again and we’ll investigate together?”
“Actually, you can look for the old Daoist. By the way, where did the old Daoist go?” Zhou Ze looked at Yingying.
“He went out in the afternoon. He looked impatient.” Bai Yingying smiled mischievously, hinting at what Old Master Zhou Ze had gone to do.
“Oh, he went out. Old Zhang, call the old master and ask him to accompany you to investigate the case. You can drive the police to look for him and also sweep away pornography to purify the humane environment of Tongcheng.”
“Look for him?”
Lawyer An instinctively felt that it was somewhat unreliable.
“Don’t worry, he’s quite reliable. His lightning-stroke skills are top-notch.”
“You’re not lying to me, are you, Boss?”
Old Zhang had some understanding of the old Daoist’s personality and his true level.
“Who knows? Don’t worry, go and contact him.”
This Zhou Ze did not lie to Old Zhang, nor was he fooling Old Zhang. This old Daoist might really have that kind of physical attribute. Whenever there was something unlucky around him, he would always be the first to trigger it.
Once or twice was a coincidence or an accident but after a few more times….
it proved that this fellow might be born with bad luck.
After saying that, Zhou Ze hung up the phone and then sent Old Zhang’s cell phone number into the blacklist in his contact list.
He got up,
he waved at Yingying and said,
“Take a nap first. I still have to work the night shift tonight. If Old Zhang calls back, don’t wake me up.”
“Boss, what if Old Zhang comes back to look for you?”
“Then break his leg and throw him out.”
“Okay, boss, Yingying understands!”
..
“Achoo!”
The old Daoist sneezed,
he reached out to wipe his nose.
“Hey, big sister, the air conditioner here is too low. It’s really easy to catch a cold after taking off your clothes.”
The old Daoist pulled out a tissue from the bedside table with some dissatisfaction. He wiped his nose and also wiped the snot under his nose.
“When others are pinched by me, it’s gone in a few seconds. They just took off their clothes and put them on. Do you think everyone wants to blow the air conditioner for so long like you?”?
“Brother, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. With this little money you spent, I can’t even pay for the air conditioner and electricity bill.”
“Hey, even though I know it’s a lie, I feel really comfortable listening to it. Alright, I won’t keep you from doing your business. See you later.”
“Come again next time.”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
The old Daoist walked out of the small room and sneezed again.
F * ck,
did he really catch a cold?
This foot massage shop was located in the town and was actually not very far from the bookstore. The entrance was a very narrow corridor, and it was really a winding place.
An old man wearing a blue hat sat in the corridor. There was a small table in front of the old man with a chess game on it.
As the saying went, after the game was over, the man entered the state of a saint.
For a moment, his soul and emotions were sublimated, and he became undemanding and elegant.
Seeing the game end, the old man simply sat on the bench next to him and watched together.
The old man looked at the old Daoist, smiled, and said, “Shall we play a game?”
“Let’s Play!”
The two of them began to arrange the chess pieces. The two old men played chess together, and the scene was very harmonious.
If the “Foot massage, massage, health care, and oil pushing” signs above the two of them were removed…
it would be even more harmonious.
At the beginning of the game, the two of them played very quickly. After entering the middle stage, the speed of the two of them playing chess slowed down.
“Brother, are you here to play?” The old man asked the old man.
The old man was indeed older than this old man.
“AH, yes. What About You?”
“I’m the gatekeeper. I’m also keeping watch.”
“Nice to meet you.”
“You’re welcome.”
“Brother, is your wife gone?” The old man asked.
At their age, they could be considered to be indifferent to life and death.
“I’m alone.”
“Where are your children?”
“No children.”
“From your accent, you’re not from here, right?”
“I’m from Shaanxi. I was in Chengdu two years ago, but I only came to Tongcheng this year.”
“You’re already so old, yet you’re still running around.”
“It’s precisely because I’m old that I have to run around more.”
“That makes sense, that makes sense. People of our age really don’t have much time left. This year, I’ve gone to a few funerals of friends and relatives.
“They left, one by one. Now, I’m a little afraid of answering the phone. I’m afraid that it’ll be another piece of bad news, and someone will leave again.
“My wife left a long time ago, and I died a long time ago. My relatives and friends didn’t leave either. The only thing they left was at the funeral.”
“Then it’s your fault.”
“What do you mean, brother?”
“Why were you so Nice in the past? You had so many friends. In my opinion, you shouldn’t have made friends in the past. Instead, you made enemies.”
“Made enemies?” The old man was confused.
“Yeah, when you get to this age…”
He picked up the phone,
heh.,
that enemy died again,
i can wait for a surprise every day.”
The old man rubbed his head and thought for a while. Then he laughed and said, “Brother, you’re the one who can see through everything.”
Half an hour had passed since the end of the game. The old Daoist was a level higher in skill and had won, but it was also very difficult to win.
“It’s satisfying, it’s satisfying!”
The old man slapped his thigh and said,
“I still have Maotai and salted peanuts that I cooked myself. Would you like to go up and drink some?”
“Yes, yes, yes!”
The old Daoist was in a good mood today, and the old man in front of him was also in a good mood.
The two old men put their arms around each other’s shoulders and walked inside together.
From time to time, the sound of the bed shaking could be heard from the small private room inside.
The two of them looked at each other and smiled,
it was as if in this shaking bed,
hID the youth that the two of them had long lost.
At this moment,
it was already nighttime,
the lights on the sign at the entrance of the alley also lit up,
the red neon sign,
the word “Health”,
bright and dazzling,
as if there were blood,
about to drip out.
