Chapter 810 One Step Behind
But Zhou, the boss, sitting by the roadside with a cigarette in his mouth, wasn't feeling so good.
The long night stretched on.
He should have been in a hotel, enjoying the attentive service of his personal maid on a waterbed.
But now,
he was waiting for the time to go to the police station's morgue.
Well, the morgue really felt like home to him.
But it was still a step down from a sensual massage, wasn't it?
Boss Zhou didn't notify Lawyer An or the little boy, just said he was tired and canceled the late-night snack.
For some reason, Zhou Ze felt a hard-to-describe "shame" about suddenly getting involved in someone else's business in this strange place.
In fact,
even now,
Zhou Ze didn't really intend to spend too much time inheriting the innocent girl's aspirations and solving this matter. He mostly just wanted to see if that girl in leather pants and a motorcycle had actually knelt.
Finally, the investigation over there should be over, and those who were off work were leaving.
Zhou Ze and Yingying entered the police station this time and came to the forensic room. They easily pried open the door and saw a female corpse lying on a steel slab bed.
The female corpse looked rather miserable.
You could see how serious the car accident was.
The whole person was almost deformed from the impact, and the facial damage was even worse, as if someone had deliberately taken a wooden pestle and smashed her face many times.
Add some scallions, ginger, garlic, and a little millet pepper, and you could make "Soul-Snatching Brain Flower."
However, Zhou Ze's gaze shifted to the lower part of the female corpse's body. There was a clear bruise on her lower abdomen. It should be her.
This was from the kick he gave her in the restaurant.
Zhou Ze walked to the female corpse and poked her arm.
"Hey, are you really dead?"
No one answered.
One possibility was that after the car accident, her physical body had been destroyed, causing her soul to lose its anchor and simply go to hell.
Another possibility was that her soul had also been "accidented" in the accident.
The second possibility was a bit terrifying. Although Zhou Ze didn't know what that innocent girl was investigating, had that thing become so audacious that it dared to attack even grim reapers?
Yingying stood beside him, quietly looking at the female corpse on the steel slab.
Perhaps,
this was the fastest premature death of a potential competitor that Yingying had seen since her debut.
Zhou Ze lit a cigarette, shook his head, and said:
"Alright, let's go back. Have you booked the tickets?"
"Booked."
"Good, then we'll go back in the morning."
As he spoke,
Zhou Ze took out a small stack of ghost money and burned it directly beside the steel slab bed with a lighter.
It was fate that we met.
What a pity about your leather pants.
Okay,
that's it, that's it.
Who cares about the mess in Rongcheng? Boss Zhou has to hurry back to Tongcheng to protect the people of Tongcheng.
Walking out of the police station,
walking side by side with Yingying under the dim streetlights,
Zhou Ze felt that the little bit of depression in his heart had been cleared away,
and he actually felt a little hungry.
"Yingying."
"Check if there are any late-night snack shops open nearby."
"Okay, Boss, emmm...
Boss, there's a Little Gizzard Skewer place nearby, shall we go eat?"
"Let's go, just fill my stomach a bit."
………………
"Swig!"
After a gulp of baijiu (white liquor),
facing the wind outside the window, Lawyer An felt very comfortable.
In fact, for most people, the most profound memories of delicious food should be the small wine glasses in the hands of their fathers and their friends when they were young.
Standing by the dining table, watching the adults take a sip of wine, then open their mouths,
"Ah!"
The sound of smacking their lips was like savoring the most beautiful delicacies in the world.
When Lawyer An was a child, he remembered that his father and those relatives and friends often did this, but he wasn't allowed to drink at the table then.
After drinking and eating, Lawyer An got up, went into the bathroom, washed up, and opened the room door.
"Going again?"
Sitting by the bed, the little boy asked while holding a Garfield cat's leg.
This scene really had the feeling of a woman at home taking care of the children while watching her husband steal money from the family to go gambling.
"Before in Dujiangyan, it was to relieve sorrow. Now, it's to face life with equanimity. It's different, it's different."
"Alright."
The little boy nodded.
"I've opened another room upstairs, just call me if you need anything."
The little boy ignored this sentence.
If something really happened,
you wouldn't even have time to put on your pants, what could you do?
In fact, Lawyer An had another reason he didn't say, which was that Dujiangyan was just a small county town after all. How could its quality compare to Rongcheng, which had a population of over ten million?
"I laugh triumphantly, I laugh triumphantly..."
Lawyer An hummed a song,
went upstairs,
and came to a room door.
He knocked on the door.
A very beautiful woman opened the door. She had just taken a shower, wrapped in a bath towel, with a rosy complexion and a natural shyness. Her handling of boundaries was just right.
But Lawyer An's face immediately darkened, and he said:
"Where's the uniform?"
"I'll put it on right away."
"That's good."
He went in and closed the door.
Thinking that the little boy was staying downstairs,
he felt a little uncomfortable.
A strange feeling,
which was also what he often teased his boss about in his heart.
What if you have strong strength, good luck, and a good life?
Hehe.
"Pop!"
Lawyer An got off the bed,
and said to the woman on the bed:
"Keep calling."
Then,
Lawyer An put on a few clothes, picked up a cigarette, opened the room door, and walked outside.
Just as he lit a cigarette,
Lawyer An turned his head in surprise,
and found a man standing at the door opposite, also smoking, and there were also moans coming from his room.
The two men smiled at each other at this moment,
exchanging glances of mutual understanding.
After finishing three cigarettes,
both men went back to their rooms and ended this long-lasting arms race.
After paying the "water bill,"
Lawyer An put on his clothes and walked down the stairs.
The stairwell was a bit cool, but it could cool people down, which was very comfortable.
When Lawyer An walked back to the floor where the little boy was staying, a delivery guy walked over, holding a delivery bag in his hand and looking for the room number.
Because he was in too much of a hurry, he accidentally bumped into Lawyer An.
"Brother, I'm sorry." The other party immediately apologized.
Lawyer An shook his head, "It's okay."
Walking to the room door,
Lawyer An knocked on the door.
When the little boy opened the door,
Lawyer An saw another delivery guy appear on his left.
Sigh,
it's almost the New Year,
and it's not easy for anyone.
It's not easy for others, and it's not easy for him either.
However,
just as this other delivery guy turned around, Lawyer An's gaze immediately froze.
Why is it you again?
Impossible, time isn't that fast. Even if you sprint up and down a floor and come back, it couldn't be this fast!
Lawyer An immediately stepped forward and grabbed the other party's neck. The delivery bag in the other party's hand fell to the ground, spilling soup and water all over the place.
"What are you doing!"
The delivery guy shouted angrily.
Lawyer An reached out and patted the delivery guy's face.
He looked like the original model,
without any traces of ghosts or demons.
He might just be a little weak in the legs now, but his eyes weren't blind.
Frowning,
Lawyer An let go of him,
took out two hundred yuan from his wallet, handed it to him, and instructed at the same time:
"It's almost the New Year, just rest and spend time with your family. Don't work so hard."
The delivery guy glanced at Lawyer An, didn't take the money, and went downstairs directly, muttering: "Crazy."
Lawyer An put the money back into his wallet, scratched his head,
ha,
is it so difficult to be a good person?
You'll work yourself to death if you're too busy.
So, you really have to be kind to everyone you meet in life who you think is an idiot, because it's very likely that in their eyes, you are the idiot.
"What's wrong?"
The little boy asked as he opened the door.
"There's something wrong with this hotel. Come out and investigate. By the way, this cat... mink."
Lawyer An reached out and took off the scarf around the little boy's neck and threw it on the ground.
The flower ferret, dragging its leg in a cast, looked at Lawyer An pitifully.
In fact,
it was all an act.
Although the flower ferret's position in the bookstore wasn't very high before,
apart from being petted on the butt by the boss like a corgi from time to time,
it was actually about the same as the little monkey.
But who told it to become a traitor?
Traitors don't deserve sympathy.
"Don't say you didn't feel anything. If you nod, I'll think you're really useless, and we'll eat flower ferret hot pot tonight."
The flower ferret shuddered,
lay prostrate on the ground and sniffed with its nose.
At first,
it was also a little dazed,
because it really didn't feel anything unusual.
Demonic beasts inherently possess a sensitivity that surpasses humans.
The little monkey in the bookstore was also like this, seemingly possessing a built-in Bug skill that could penetrate the fog.
This flower ferret had ancient blood, so it couldn't be too bad.
After sniffing and sniffing,
the flower ferret's expression suddenly changed.
"Jiji jiji!"
The flower ferret cried out,
reached out its fleshy paw,
pointed upwards,
then pointed downwards,
then pointed to the left,
then pointed to the right,
and then used its good supporting foot,
to rotate in a circle,
pointing in a circle.
"Are you messing with me? What does this mean?" Lawyer An cursed.
The little boy said slowly:
"Ambush from all sides."
