Chapter 257 The Mud-Smeared Face

About forty minutes later, Zhang Yanfeng finally found the little monkey at the public telephone booth across the street from Wang Mazi's dog meat restaurant.

"Where are the boss and the others?"

Zhang Yanfeng got out of the car and looked around, asking.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

"..." Zhang Yanfeng.

Zhang Yanfeng admitted defeat and motioned for the monkey to get in the car first.

But the little monkey didn't rush to leave. Instead, it jumped into the flower bed next to the phone booth, leaping around and gesturing for Zhang Yanfeng to come over.

Zhang Yanfeng approached the flower bed, pushed aside the branches, and saw the suitcase hidden inside.

"What's this?"

The suitcase suddenly bulged,

as if there was something inside.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

Although Zhang Yanfeng didn't understand what the monkey meant, he could roughly guess what he should do. He picked up the suitcase without opening it, and didn't dare put it in the trunk. Instead, he placed it on the back seat.

Since there was something inside, it definitely couldn't leave his sight.

The little monkey consciously got into the car, sat in the passenger seat, and even fastened its seat belt!

Actually,

the little monkey was also quite frustrated.

The old Taoist and Lawyer An had both passed out after eating and drinking.

Its own phone was destroyed during the battle at the hotel during the day. The old Taoist's phone was dead, and it had found Lawyer An's phone, but it had a password lock instead of a fingerprint lock.

Late at night,

asking a monkey to crack a password lock was a bit difficult.

Helplessly,

the monkey had to carry its little satchel to seek help from the coin-operated public phone. Fortunately, it remembered the phone numbers of several people in the Late Night Bookstore. It first called Zhou Ze, but no one answered. Then it called Bai Yingying, but still no one answered.

The monkey would naturally not call the zombie left in the bookstore.

It wasn't that stupid.

Just imagine the scene of the monkey and the zombie talking on the phone:

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

"Heh, heh, heh..."

"Squeak, squeak, squeak..."

"Heh, heh, heh..."

The monkey was anxiously jumping up and down,

while the zombie just kept giggling foolishly.

After getting in the car, Zhang Yanfeng got smart and took out his phone, handing it to the monkey.

The monkey should be able to type.

Old Zhang remembered the scene of Yingying and the monkey playing Honor of Kings together at the bookstore.

The little monkey seemed to be the strongest king.

The monkey didn't take the phone, but pointed at the dog meat restaurant across the street, "Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

"They're inside?"

Old Zhang guessed.

The monkey reached into its crotch,

then made a drinking gesture,

and finally made a "2" gesture to Zhang Yanfeng.

"The old Taoist and Lawyer An are in the restaurant?"

The monkey nodded,

revealing a smile.

It felt that this criminal police officer had potential.

Zhang Yanfeng got out of the car again and walked towards Wang Mazi's dog meat restaurant. At this time, the dog meat restaurant was basically closed. The tables and chairs outside had been put away, but there were still two or three tables of customers eating, and the owner was already cleaning up.

"Yo, are you here to eat? Sorry, the kitchen is closed."

Wang Mazi apologetically offered Zhang Yanfeng a cigarette.

Since Zhang Yanfeng came in a police uniform, he naturally needed to be treated politely.

"I'm not here to eat. I'm here to find two friends, one wearing a suit and one wearing a Taoist robe."

"Oh, Old Lu, he's sleeping upstairs in my house. His friend is also there. Hahaha, those two, they drank too much and just passed out on the table outside. I had people carry them upstairs to sleep."

"Thank you very much."

Zhang Yanfeng went upstairs with Wang Mazi.

Upstairs were probably the employees' dormitory rooms. The old Taoist and Lawyer An were sleeping soundly in separate beds, the room filled with the smell of alcohol.

Zhang Yanfeng tried to push them a few times, but couldn't wake them up. It was one thing for the old Taoist, but Lawyer An not waking up made Zhang Yanfeng feel that something was wrong.

"How about I take them away first?"

"Officer, please show me your identification."

After all, the old Taoist was their family's benefactor.

Well,

the Wang Mazi family was honest. If it were someone else, they might have regarded the old Taoist as an enemy.

Wang Mazi, after all, started out as a policeman, so he was extra careful. He couldn't let his family's benefactor be taken away casually, especially when he was so drunk.

Zhang Yanfeng nodded and handed his identification to Wang Mazi.

"A police officer from Tongcheng?"

Wang Mazi scratched his head in surprise,

but didn't say anything else.

The identification was real, after all.

With Wang Mazi's help, Zhang Yanfeng put the two "drunks" in his car, then started the engine.

The monkey sitting in the passenger seat pointed directly in one direction.

Zhang Yanfeng drove in that direction.

Not long after, about ten minutes, the monkey suddenly shouted.

Zhang Yanfeng immediately braked and looked at the monkey.

The monkey opened the passenger door, jumped out of the car, and stood on the road, jumping up and down non-stop, then scratching its head and spinning in circles.

Old Zhang stood on the side, lit a cigarette, and watched the monkey perform.

The monkey reached into its little satchel. There were still some leftover talismans inside, mostly defective products that Xu Qinglang had made while practicing.

It couldn't find the old Taoist's talisman,

which disappointed the monkey.

It should urge the old Taoist to print another batch.

Then,

the monkey jumped into the grass beside the road.

After a while,

the monkey came out with a handful of mud,

running straight towards Zhang Yanfeng.

"Uh..."

Zhang Yanfeng's hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly.

The monkey climbed onto Zhang Yanfeng.

Zhang Yanfeng took a deep breath,

without resisting.

Next,

was the mud-smearing-face treatment.

After the monkey finished smearing, Zhang Yanfeng carefully reopened his eyes. The air he breathed seemed to have a cool taste. He shook his head, and when he looked ahead again, he found that there was a cloud of fog in front of him.

Zhang Yanfeng hadn't seen this cloud of fog when he drove over.

Xuzhou wasn't a high-altitude mountainous area. It wasn't strange to suddenly see a cloud of fog in the mountains, but here, it was a bit weird.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

The monkey was now sitting on Zhang Yanfeng's shoulder,

pointing at the car.

"What does it mean?"

Wasn't it supposed to let me go into the fog?

Fortunately,

Zhang Yanfeng knew his limitations.

He knew where his disadvantage lay. Although he was a ghost messenger, he was actually clueless about ghosts and gods. At this time, he was very compliant. Even if it was the monkey's instruction, he didn't disobey it and just did as he was told.

The old Taoist and Lawyer An were lying on the back seat. Because there was also a suitcase, the space for the old Taoist and Lawyer An was a bit cramped. At this time, the two were hugging each other, almost face to face, sleeping together.

Their saliva was about to flow together and meet triumphantly.

It was a pity that Old Zhang was a very upright person. If Zhou Ze or Xu Qinglang were here, they would have taken out their phones to take a few pictures as a souvenir, and then find an opportunity to show them to Lawyer An, who always paid attention to his image and clothing.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

The monkey wasn't pointing at the old Taoist or Lawyer An, but at the suitcase next to them.

"The suitcase, what's wrong?"

Zhang Yanfeng pulled the suitcase over, but was surprised to find that a crack had appeared on the left side of the suitcase.

The thing inside

wanted to escape!

Suddenly,

a skinny hand stretched out from the suitcase and directly grabbed Zhang Yanfeng's wrist.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!!!"

Before Zhang Yanfeng could do anything,

the monkey on his shoulder pounced down and scratched and attacked the hand.

These monkey claws were truly terrifyingly sharp. The hand was scratched to the point where the skin and flesh were separated, almost like the hand that Lawyer An used when using his skills.

A scream came from the suitcase, and the hand retracted.

"Inside, is it a person, right?"

Zhang Yanfeng asked.

The monkey nodded, wiping its blood-stained claws on the back seat cushion.

Well,

under the glorious leadership of their boss,

even the monkey in the entire bookstore had become obsessed with cleanliness.

Zhang Yanfeng picked up the suitcase,

and then kicked it.

"Bang!"

Another muffled groan came from inside. It should be behaving now.

Taking a deep breath,

Officer Zhang felt that what he was doing now was really a bit nonsensical, wearing a police uniform but pushing a suitcase containing a person.

But since the person inside was caught by the boss and the others, the boss and the others must have their own intentions. He wasn't so bored as to be a saintly mother who would release them.

The little monkey sat directly on the suitcase, and Old Zhang pushed the suitcase into the fog.

After walking not far, Zhang Yanfeng saw a girl sitting in the fog.

The girl looked up and saw Zhang Yanfeng walking in.

"You're here?"

The girl said.

"Uh..."

Zhang Yanfeng didn't know how to answer.

He had never seen this somewhat dark girl before.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak!"

The monkey jumped off the suitcase and ran to the other side.

Zhang Yanfeng took a few steps in that direction

and saw two people sleeping on the road, huddled together.

Two people,

sleeping soundly.

"Boss? Boss?"

Zhang Yanfeng called out.

Zhou Ze's eyelids twitched a few times and he woke up, instinctively yawning.

Yingying also woke up, rubbed her eyes, and looked at Zhang Yanfeng approaching with a sleepy look, her mouth still pouting, seeming a bit grumpy.

Yingying usually didn't sleep much. Even when resting, she would just close her eyes to recuperate and regulate the baleful aura in her body. But this time, she was also overexerted. Sleeping in her boss's arms was like constantly sucking up good luck.

It was so comfortable.

Zhou Ze's body was also overdrawn by Yinggou and needed to sleep with Yingying.

"Old Zhang, you're here."

Zhou Ze touched his pocket and then looked at Zhang Yanfeng, "Cigarette."

Zhang Yanfeng gave Zhou Ze a cigarette and lit it for him.

Exhaling a smoke ring,

and having slept for a while, Zhou Ze felt that his energy had recovered a lot and he could stand up. At the same time, he reached out and pulled Yingying up, helping her stand up together.

"You drove here?" Zhou Ze asked.

"Yes, the old Taoist and the lawyer are also in the car."

"Okay, carry this dark girl to the car too. She was playing on her phone while walking at night and didn't watch the road,

and accidentally broke both legs."

"..." The dark-skinned girl.

"Oh, right, Boss, there's also that monk," Yingying reminded.

"Oh, Old Zhang, go take a look at the river bank first and take care of the monk's body."

"Okay."

Zhang Yanfeng immediately climbed over the road railing and walked towards the river bank.

After a while,

Zhou Ze heard Zhang Yanfeng's shout from the shore:

"Boss, I can't see the body. Could it have been washed away by the river?"
