Chapter 2 Chapter 1 The Killing Game Begins

The flight from Guangzhou to the ancient city of Hankou arrived at the airport at 8:00 pm. As soon as I got off the plane and went to the taxi passage, I saw the brightly lit ancient city intoxicated by thin smog.The hem swayed for a while.Although there was no snow, the biting cold wind still blew quietly. I haven't returned to my hometown for a long time, and the strong smell of my hometown rushes to my face from time to time.He habitually twitched his slightly frowning brows, and a smile appeared on his face. At this moment, he suddenly felt a figure flash in front of him, and a burst of familiar fragrance brought him back to his senses.Throwing into his arms was a beautiful woman, his new wife.

The man is 30 years old this year. He has just been transferred back to the ancient city from Baiyun District, Guangzhou. He was originally the captain of the first criminal investigation department. He was transferred back to the ancient city to serve as the captain of the criminal police brigade. He has a two-day vacation.His name was Xia Zicheng, he was 1.75 meters tall, with a solid build, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and short hair on fair skin.Sincere and cheerful, he is a rare talent among criminal police. The woman's name is Li Tiaotiao, she is twenty-eight years old, her skin is fair and transparent, her eyes are black, and she has good eyelashes. Her lower body wrapped in jeans is even taller and more charming.She is an assistant to Professor Yang of the Department of History and Mythology in the ancient city.It was precisely because his wife worked in his hometown that Xia Zicheng was able to transfer here.

After the excitement, Li Tiaotiao looked at Xia Zicheng tenderly and said, "Honey, let's go." He said and kissed Xia Zicheng on the forehead. "Yeah." Xia Zicheng embraced his wife and waved to the taxi. Their new home is located near Guanggu Shopping Plaza, and it takes about an hour to return to the apartment from Hankou Airport. After returning to the apartment, Xia Zicheng stretched, stood up, walked to the chair in front of the computer, sat down, and turned on the computer habitually. Although Xia Zicheng is a criminal policeman, he prefers to play a game called "killing game" in the past one or two years.He has been working as a criminal police officer in the killing game, responsible for investigating the criminal investigation of the fictional network.

He quickly logged on to the website, then entered his username and password. He chose room 2012, and there were already fifteen people in it. He saw fifteen people who were almost familiar strangers, and only one of them with the online name "Killer" was a stranger. Suddenly, a boy popped out from the lower right corner of the computer, and the boy was stabbed in the chest by a man with a dagger.I'm no longer surprised by this kind of joking, but Xia Zicheng still typed out a sentence: "Are you kidding, man!" The other party sent a smirk, and at the same time typed: "Do you think playing online killing games is interesting? I think it is too boring and not exciting at all."

Xia Zicheng felt that this person was a little psychopathic, and felt uneasy for no reason. "Super Policeman" - Xia Zicheng's screen name, the other party sent a challenging action. "Hello, murderer!" Xia Zicheng replied quickly. "Today I would like to invite you alone to play a truly unprecedented killing game." "Oh, good!" "But let me tell you clearly that this game is not played on the Internet." "did you mean?" "A Real Killing Game!!!" "Really?" Xia Zicheng felt the meaning in the other's words, and a chill surged up from the bottom of his heart, and he shuddered.

"That's right. Tonight, a treacherous killing journey is about to begin, and then you investigate the real murderer until the game is over." "You're not joking, are you?" "Captain Xia Zicheng, am I kidding, I know you were just transferred back to the ancient city from Guangzhou yesterday to serve as the captain of the criminal police team." "How do you know so clearly, who are you?" Xia Zicheng felt that the other party didn't seem to be joking, and his real identity as a criminal policeman had also been investigated clearly. It seemed that he had come prepared.

"Who am I? I don't know who I am. But starting tomorrow, you want to know who I am?" "After the game starts, you have to investigate who I am. Of course, when all the evidence is insufficient, I will give you a hint when you get lost in the case. Hahaha—" Xia Zicheng calmed down, thinking that the other party was crazy and making such a joke, but he was very puzzled, how did the other party know his real identity, but he had never announced his real identity on the Internet.Xia Zicheng still wanted to ask the other party, but the other party suddenly went offline.

Xia Zicheng was stunned, feeling vaguely uneasy in his heart. The starting point of the 401 tourist line is Jinxiu Langyuan Villa, passing through Lumo Road, Guanggu Pedestrian Street, and then passing the former site of the ancient city-Gucheng University-Meiyuan, and the terminal station is Donghu Moshan.The plum garden connecting East Lake and Moshan is in a vast land, so bare and lifeless.It's already January, and soon the whole plum garden will be full of bright plum blossoms, and there will be a lot of tourists. Despite the wind, there are still many tourists visiting East Lake during this period, most of them are college students riding bicycles.The East Lake connecting the Plum Garden is vast.

At the end of the long lake embankment, to the left is a 100-meter lake embankment, sandwiched between the two lakes.On the shore of the lake embankment, a gasoline boat is moored.On the right is the gate to Moshan and the station. At 8:10 on the 8th, no tourists came to visit at this time.The boatman, who earns his living from gasoline boats, walked to the lake where he parked his boat after breakfast and found a large black bag floating beside his boat.The bags discarded by tourists can be seen everywhere in the East Lake, and even the aunts who salvage the garbage are too busy.He is not surprised by this phenomenon.

He stretched, sighed, and stepped off the boat towards the black bag.At first he thought it was an ordinary bag, but he didn't take it seriously.When he got closer, he found that the bag was not like the black bag in the supermarket outside, but a cloth bag.This kind of cloth bag is usually rare, and he can't think of any use for it.There seems to be something in the bag, or it is full of water, and it looks swollen. "What could it be?" He hesitated, then reached out to uncover it.The bag seemed so tightly wrapped that he couldn't open it at all.When his fingers touched the bag, it felt like a round sphere, and a rather large object at that. "It can't be a fish." He flicked his head.It is true that a large number of dead fish float to the shore every year in East Lake, not to mention that the weather this year is colder than last year.But he was puzzled again, even if it is a big fish, it doesn't need to be wrapped so tightly, unless someone stole the fish last night, this one is left over.

Seeing that it could not be opened, he went into the cabin and took out a pair of scissors, grabbed a corner of the black cloth with one hand, and cut it against the round top with the other. After cutting off the upper layer, he found that there was still black black cloth underneath.His fingers touched the top of the package and felt something was wrong. "What could it be, coconut?" But there are no coconut trees around East Lake, so how could there be coconuts. He cut open three layers of black cloth one after another before cutting open the tightly wrapped bag.Excited and trembling, he ran up to the shore, waved his hands quickly to his companions, exhaled hoarse cold air, and finally screamed: "There is a dead body." He screamed and looked back , a head with black hair appeared in the black cloth bag. At 8:50 on the same day, at Guanggu Pedestrian Street Station, criminal policeman Xia Zicheng and his new wife Li Tiaotiao were waiting for the 401 tourist line, and they were going to Moshan, East Lake. Soon, the special line 401 rushed over and stopped beside them.After they got on the bus, they saw that the passengers on the bus were crowded, so they could only stand next to each other.The weather suddenly turned warm, and East Lake became the peak tourist season again.Passengers either stay at home on weekends with nothing to do, or go sightseeing there, so it's good to pass the boring time.Xia Zicheng understood the feelings of these single men and women very well. More than ten years ago, when Xia Zicheng was studying in middle school near Optics Valley, he often took the 401 tourist line alone to Moshan, East Lake.After graduating, I went to a police academy in another city and stayed there for a few years. Along the way, Xia Zicheng looked at the scenery outside the car window, feeling familiar. Looking back on Optics Valley, it used to be just a collection of second-hand bookstores and snack spots.When he was a child, he often went to second-hand bookstores with Zhong Mingyue to read fairy tale books, and then Zhong Mingyue took out 50 cents from his crumpled trouser pocket, bought two ice creams, one for each of them, and skipped home while eating.He remembered how happy that time was.Hearing that Zhong Mingyue had been working in the Gucheng Criminal Brigade, he was very excited at the thought of seeing him soon.Hankou Street has not changed. The houses are very old and have not been demolished.That was the movie theater and snack street that Xia Zicheng visited every month.The tall and thick city walls and the ruined ancient city around it still reveal the atmosphere of ancient history. They got off at Meiyuan.The changes around the plum garden made him almost unrecognizable.The wife said that she will come to the plum garden to see plum blossoms in a while.He smiled and nodded. Walking through the plum garden is the East Lake embankment.They walked along the embankment of the lake towards Moshan.Li Tiaotiao held Xia Zicheng's arm, and even though the lake wind was blowing from the lake, she still felt warm.Xia Zicheng recalled the warm days when he was a teenager. A group of more than a dozen boys rode bicycles to Moshan to play. The laughter and youth in the past have long passed. Along the way, many tourists who came for sightseeing took pictures beside the lotus pond at the foot of Moshan opposite the East Lake. As they strolled, they saw crowds rushing towards Moshan.As a criminal police officer, Xia Zicheng suddenly had an ominous premonition. In the crowd, they saw two caravans.The lights on the police car flickered continuously. Xia Zicheng and his wife walked through the crowd and came outside the cordon.Standing outside the cordon were two young men in casual uniforms. Xia Zicheng looked over the cordon and saw Zhong Mingyue's profile.They were watching something, their heads lowered, their brows furrowed. Zhong Mingyue is still the same, nothing has changed.Zhong Mingyue and Xia Zicheng were members of the basketball team before, and they were both over 1.75 meters tall.Zhong Mingyue is not as handsome as Xia Zi, with single eyelids, but her nose, face shape, and mouth are pretty good.They are the forwards of the school basketball team, and they are considered one of the best in school basketball, so they have the nickname Fengyun. Xia Zicheng didn't come here with his criminal police certificate. His wife originally planned to tell him to avoid him and let Zhong Mingyue and the others handle the matter, but his wife understood his thoughts very well. If a case happened in the ancient city, how could he, as the new captain, stay out of it. The distance between the two was no more than two meters, but Zhong Mingyue was only concentrating on talking with his colleagues, and did not pay attention to Xia Zicheng's arrival. "Still as serious as that!" Xia Zicheng smiled.Afterwards, Xia Zicheng yelled without hesitation, "Hey, Zhong Mingyue!" The voices came and went, but Zhong Mingyue still heard someone calling him and turned around.His eyes scanned the crowd, and finally fell on Xia Zicheng.He thought it was dizziness, and couldn't believe the facts in front of him. He rubbed his eyes and looked again, only to see that it was really Xia Zicheng. Zhong Mingyue was silent for a few seconds, with a smile on his nervous face: "Oh, it's really Xia Zicheng." At the same time, he waved his hand to the policeman outside the cordon, and then walked forward quickly, holding hands tightly with Xia Zicheng. Clenched together, followed by a hug, slaps on the shoulders, and finally a laugh.They are used to meeting like this. "Why did a Guangzhou criminal policeman come back to the ancient city? Is he reluctant to part with his beautiful newly married wife?" Zhong Mingyue smiled and raised her hand to Li Tiaotiao.Li jumped back to smile. Xia Zicheng said something close to Zhong Mingyue's ear, and Zhong Mingyue stared at Xia Zicheng with wide-eyed eyes, no less surprised than before. "Really?" Zhong Mingyue still couldn't believe Xia Zicheng's words.I remember that in middle school, Xia Zicheng sometimes lied to him. Xia Zicheng nodded firmly. "What happened to your case, your nervous expression?" Xia Zicheng then changed the subject. "The most bizarre death case in the ancient city in half a century." Zhong Mingyue and Xia Zicheng approached the policemen in a serious manner. "Someone was killed?" Xia Zicheng approached and saw an object wrapped in a large black bag on the ground.He squatted down habitually and reached out to uncover it.Zhong Mingyue reached out her hand to block it. "The deceased was a woman, about 1.6 meters tall. The skin of her face, hands and feet had been peeled off, her heart was hollowed out, and only her hair was left. From the skin, it can be estimated that she was between 25 and 30 years old. Waiting for forensic identification." Xia Zicheng was startled, this was the first time he had heard of such a method of killing. "How was the body found?" "About 8:10, a boatman found it. At first he thought it was a fish?" Zhong Mingyue smiled teasingly. "In the water, such a large object would immediately be thought to be a fish." Xia Zicheng looked at the rippling lake, thinking that it was a beautiful place, but it became a good place for the devil to attack. "This is—" one of the young policemen looked at Zhong Mingyue and asked suspiciously. "My old friend Xia Zicheng will be our leader from now on." Zhong Mingyue forced a smile. The policemen present shook hands with Xia Zicheng politely, saying that Team Zhong often mentioned Team Xia. "Have you notified the forensic doctor?" Xia Zicheng asked suddenly. "I've already contacted him by phone, and he's on his way." Zhong Mingyue paused, looked at the crowd blankly, and said with a wry smile, "I'm afraid the forensic doctor hasn't arrived yet, but the news media as sensitive as a dog's nose has come." When they looked over, there were indeed reporters taking pictures of them outside the cordon.Immediately afterwards, the sound of the white car came, and it stopped outside the crowd for a while.A middle-aged man and a nurse wearing a mask stepped out of the car. "Forensic Doctor Huang is finally here!" Zhong Mingyue breathed a sigh of relief. A man with fair skin and a stern expression lifted his cordon and walked directly towards them, followed by a girl in a nurse's outfit, possibly his assistant. "This is Forensic Doctor Huang, and this is Xia Zicheng, the new captain of our criminal police team." After Zhong Mingyue introduced, the two of them shook hands and then quickly separated. "The corpse is beyond recognition. I'd better take it back to the doctor for an autopsy." Zhong Mingyue felt that the scene should be evacuated as soon as possible, and he knew the consequences of procrastination. Forensic doctor Huang gently lifted a corner of the black cloth, his face was instantly pale, he stood up trembling, and nodded. Xia Zi was preoccupied that even the forensic doctor showed this kind of nervousness when he saw the deceased, and guessed that this matter was no small matter, as Zhong Mingyue said just now, it was the most serious case in the ancient city in half a century. With the help of the police, forensic doctors and nurses carried the body onto the white car.Zhong Mingyue opened the police car door and looked back at Xia Zicheng, made a phone call with his hand next to his ear, and then closed the door. Led by the police car, the white car gradually moved away from the East Lake, and the crowd gradually dispersed. As the captain of the Criminal Squad, although he is on vacation, but thinking that this bizarre murder case will be his first case after being transferred to a new position, it will be a great test, and he feels that the vacation is boring. Even though he was walking by the lake with his wife, he was still worried, and he was in no mood to play on the beach on the other side of the lake.They originally planned to relax and enjoy this hard-won leisure and happiness, but they were all shrouded in the shadow of death.He saw someone passing by with a handbag in his hand, and suddenly remembered the conversation with the "killer" yesterday afternoon, he couldn't help but froze for a moment, thinking to himself: Is all this really a killing game?Or maybe it's just a coincidence. His wife Li Tiaotiao saw what was on his mind: "Why don't we go to another place, isn't Zhong Mingyue handling the case?" Looking at his beautiful wife in the warm sunshine, Xia Zicheng reluctantly shrugged his shoulders and smiled. "Not long ago, we found an ancient tomb of historical myth in the ancient city. Why don't we go and have a look." Li Tiaotiao and Professor Yang have been unable to explain this historical myth since they discovered the tomb passage.Based on the sacrificial vessels, they speculated that the tomb passage was an object used by the tribe, or that the tribe worshiped Taotie as a god in mythology. "Oh, there is such a thing. Okay! Let's go." Xia Zicheng returned to his hometown, and originally planned to visit the ancient city, where there were traces of his first love and youth. At ten fifty, they got on the special line to the ancient city.Although he was in the mood of traveling, Xia Zicheng still couldn't let go, thinking about the case, his brows were slightly furrowed.At 11:15, they got off at the ancient city station, and then walked along the avenue of ancient historical traces of the ancient city to the ancient tomb. The ancient tomb was in ruins. An old man guarding the tomb saw Li Tiaotiao and greeted him: "Hello, Assistant Li!" "Hello!" Li Tiaotiao smiled at him, then squatted down and walked in with Xia Zicheng. Xia Zicheng observed the ancient tomb carefully, and suddenly heard Li Tiaotiao's exclamation of "Oh——".He looked over hastily and saw his wife looking up at a strange statue.Before Xia Zicheng raised any questions, Li Tiaotiao said: "This statue is the Taotie in "Sou Shen Ji", but the strange thing is that the dragon-like pattern on its forehead is missing. Could it be that it was stolen? ?” "Gluttony?" Xia Zicheng knew almost nothing about historical myths. "About this myth, I can't explain it clearly at once. It's just a pattern?" Li Tiaotiao looked a little flustered, and Xia Zicheng could see that his wife was very concerned about this matter.His wife has always put the study of historical myths first, just like Xia Zicheng put Xing Jing first. They had quarreled about their careers, but in the end the two still got together because of love. Li Tiaotiao thought for a while, took out his phone, and called Professor Yang.The phone rang for a while, but no one answered it, and was about to hang up, when a man's voice suddenly came from the other end: "Who is it?" "Professor Yang, I'm Li Tiaotiao, and I'm reporting to you. The pattern on Taotie's forehead mysteriously disappeared." "What - I'm in the ancient city university, you are in the ancient tomb?" Professor Yang exclaimed. "Yes, with my husband." "Wait a minute, I'll go over now." Professor Yang quickly hung up the phone. In the cubicle where Li Tiaotiao was talking to Professor Yang, Xia Zicheng had already asked the old grave guard to come back. "According to the old man who guards the tomb, his counterpart went out to take a urinate at night some time ago, and saw a mysterious figure flashing past the tomb. Nothing. I guess he read it right, someone did come in and steal it." "If someone stole it, who would it be? Why did you steal the dragon pattern? As far as I know, that thing is worthless as a treasure." Li Tiaotiao looked at Xia Zicheng suspiciously. Xia Zicheng pondered, he felt a little uneasy, maybe things were not as simple as his wife imagined. About fifteen minutes later, Professor Yang ran in panting, hardly saw Li Tiaotiao and the others, and stared at Taotie's forehead with his eyes wide open.From his eyes, Xia Zicheng felt the historical value of this dragon pattern that he had never seen before. After Professor Yang panicked, he looked back at them with dull eyes, then he froze for a moment, and shook hands with Xia Zicheng.Xia Zicheng once met this professor who was about fifty-five years old at a wedding. His eyes were piercing under his silver hair, and he was full of love and passion for history. Xia Zicheng said to Professor Yang about this incident: "I will try my best to find out the truth in a short time and get back the dragon pattern. After all, this is also my wife's lifelong career." Although Professor Yang was a little disheartened, he still nodded hopefully. Walking from the ancient tomb to the ancient city avenue, they parted ways.They looked at the back of Professor Yang who was gradually leaving in old age, and sighed, "Maybe the history of this ancient tomb is the most meaningful thing in his life!" "For you, why not?" Xia Zicheng led his wife towards Lumo Road. "Tiaotiao, do you believe what the old man who guards the tomb said is true?" Xia Zicheng said suddenly. "Does my husband suspect that he stole it?" Li Tiaotiao looked at Xia Zicheng in surprise. "The details need to be investigated, but I don't think the tomb robbers stole it. Didn't you say that the tomb robbers would not like this dragon pattern, unless there is a point, what is the value of this dragon pattern?" Li Tiaotiao bit his lip and did not speak. The area around Lumo Road is full of old houses.The stalls facing the street are snack bars, daily necessities stores, and breakfast shops, and there are relatively few people.Li Tiaotiao was not in the mood when he saw the candied haws on the street.Normally, the lovely Li Tiaotiao would have joy shining on his face, like the light of love. Xia Zicheng looked at the streets he had stepped on countless times when he was young, and felt the warmth of time at that time.At this time, a young man walked quickly past them, and Xia Zicheng felt the youthful aura emanating from the young man, just like himself back then. After walking past two stop signs and crossing the sidewalk, you can have a panoramic view of Optics Valley.Xia Zicheng saw a book stand in front of him and walked over.He developed the habit of reading newspapers every day in Guangzhou. Seeing that there was no Guangzhou Daily or Yangcheng Evening News, he chose Changjiang Commercial Daily.Just as he was paying the money and preparing to leave, Li Tiaotiao reached out and took out a suspenseful magazine called "Wolf City" from the magazine stack. He looked carefully at the cover of the manga, and saw a strange animal painted on it, neither a dinosaur nor a fierce one. Ling, but Taotie, his hand trembled uncontrollably, and the magazine almost slipped. Seeing his wife holding the magazine with such a frightened expression, Xia Zicheng leaned close to him, was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself: Why is it such a coincidence? "Why are things so weird? Is it just a coincidence?" Li Tiaotiao bought a magazine and walked towards Optics Valley with Xia Zicheng, his flushed face turned pale after horror. "Could it be related to the murder case this morning?" A strange inspiration flashed in his mind, but after thinking about it, he felt completely unreasonable. Under the flyover from Lumo Road to Guanggu Valley is usually a place where homeless people live. Instead of going home directly, they chose to have lunch at a western restaurant in Guanggu Pedestrian Street. There were not many customers in the western restaurant at noon, so they chose to sit by the window.They selected two steaks that were well done. Li Tiaotiao opened the thin paper on the cover of the package, carefully looked at the Taotie on the cover, and murmured, "It's really like the painting, almost exactly the same as the one in the ancient tomb." After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized something, looked up Looking at Xia Zicheng.Xia Zicheng understood his wife's thoughts and nodded firmly. Li Tiaotiao discovered that the magazine happened to be the first issue, which was launched today. "It can't be true, can it?" She couldn't believe the facts in front of her.Then, she turned to the last page, and it was printed at the bottom of the page: Hunting Cat Magazine; company address, 16th floor, United Great Xia, Lumo Road, ancient city. Xia Zicheng also saw all this. Since he became a criminal police officer, it was the first time he encountered such a coincidence, and it happened on the same day. They looked at each other subconsciously, their faces full of doubts. After that, Li Tiaotiao lowered his head and opened the front page of the magazine, only to see the short article on the front page as follows: Taotie, a ferocious and gluttonous beast in legend, is said to be one of the nine sons of the dragon. It is shaped like a wolf and likes to eat and drink. The shape of its head is often carved on Zhongding and Yi vessels as a decoration.Since gluttony is a particularly gluttonous beast in the legend, people who are greedy for food and even property are called gluttonous.Taotie also appeared as a patterned animal face decoration on Shang and Zhou bronzes, called Taotie pattern. According to "Sou Shen Ji", it is said that Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor fought against Chi You, Chi You was beheaded, and his head fell to the ground and turned into gluttony. "Shan Hai Jing Bei Shan Jing" has a cloud: "Diaowu Mountain has a lot of jade on it, and a lot of copper below it. There are beasts, which look like a sheep body and a human face. Their eyes are in the armpit, tiger teeth and claws, and their sound Such as a baby, the name is the roe owl, and it is a cannibal." According to the annotations of Guo Pu in the Jin Dynasty, the roe owl mentioned here refers to gluttony. There is a saying in "Shen Yi Jing Xihuang Jing": "Gao Tie, the name of a beast, has a body like a cow, a human face, eyes in the armpits, and cannibalism." Later, Tao Tie became a totem and was engraved on various sacrificial utensils. on the solitary. "Lu's Spring and Autumn Annals·Xianzhilan" has a saying: "Zhou Ding wrote gluttony, with a head but no body, cannibalism did not harm his body, and he repaid it with words." In the Yin and Shang Dynasties, gluttony was often engraved on Dingyi. Its head is ferocious, its eyes are piercing, impressive, and the bridge of its nose protrudes; the head has a pair of curved animal horns or feet, and the direction of its bending seems to be random, or hooked inside like a sheep's horn, or curved like a cow's horn outside; a huge mouth Wide open, sharp teeth like saws, slightly curved mouth hooked inward, or closed mouth, it is in a frontal entanglement shape, body arched, head on the ground or water clouds, with a pair of sharp claws on both sides, like dog claws or tiger claws.There are a pair of meat wings on both sides, shaped like ears. Turning to the table of contents, there are only some original articles and small columns, including the mythical stories in "Sou Shen Ji".Li Tiaotiao just glanced at it briefly. Many of the historical myths mentioned in the magazine have never been heard of even her who has studied historical myths for several years.After she put down the magazine, she really didn't understand, could it be that the editor of the magazine made it up randomly?Or the other party understands this myth better than she does.After much deliberation, she couldn't figure it out.She decided to find a time to visit the magazine office, maybe there will be unexpected gains for her. Xia Zicheng put down the newspaper, saw his wife was puzzled, picked up the magazine and looked at it for a while, his face gradually revealed a look of surprise.As a criminal police officer, he felt that things were incredible. "From this point of view, what the magazine said shouldn't be a coincidence, but because I knew about the ancient tomb beforehand, so I made this magazine." Xia Zicheng looked at his wife tenderly. "The story of the ancient tomb has indeed spread, and it is on the ancient city archeology website." "It's not surprising that this is the case. The keen magazine company planned a magazine in connection with this incident. It's just a coincidence that the time when the magazine was launched was not far from the time when the dragon pattern of the ancient tomb was stolen." "Looking at it this way Come on, the magazine must be closely related to the ancient tomb, this clue needs to be investigated.” "I'll go investigate in a few days. It's just the death case this morning. The situation is very complicated." "Husband said the death of the deceased..." "I have a feeling that everything is connected today." "Husband means that it is..." "Although this kind of thinking is absurd, it is often the key to the criminal police's bold guesses to solve the case." "Probably not. What era is it now? Does the ancient city we live in now look like a foreign fantasy movie? Scary monsters appear." "Anything can happen in this world, not to mention that the historical myth mentioned in the magazine mentioned that the thing eats people? What happened happened just when the dragon pattern disappeared, and the heart of the dead..." No matter how you say it, Li Tiaotiao, who studies historical mythology, still cannot accept Xia Zicheng's idea.She knew that Xia Zicheng became a criminal policeman, and he had his own ideas, which was why he was able to become the captain of the criminal police team from a policeman. While they were talking, several customers in the western restaurant were talking about the magician.Although Xia Zicheng was concentrating on talking to his wife, he still heard something. After eating the steak, Xia Zicheng looked at his watch: 2:30. Li Tiaotiao suddenly remembered something, picked up the magazine and said, "I want to read ancient books in the nearby library." Xia Zicheng nodded slightly.Walking out of the western restaurant to the square, I saw the bustling crowd of college students in the square. Li Tiaotiao held Xia Zicheng's arm, and through the warm sunshine, his face was full of the sweet smile and slight sadness of newlyweds. "Tiaotiao, the customers in the western restaurant were talking about the magician enthusiastically just now, why, do we also have a magic show here?" Xia Zicheng's face was immediately filled with passion when he mentioned the magician. Li Tiaotiao knew that Xia Zicheng had loved magicians since he was a child. "I forgot to tell my husband, there is a new magician here in Optics Valley, and he will perform a magic trick in Optics Valley on the eighth of every month until February." "That was last night, oh, what a missed time." "One more time." "That's right, I really have to take a good look at it then," Xia Zicheng smiled, "Have you watched Tiaotiao?" "Unfortunately, there has been no time, but I heard that magicians can predict the future." "Predicting the future is not a joke!" "I guess it's all a lie told by the magician." "There are indeed prophets, but I have never heard of magicians who can predict the future." Xia Zicheng saw college students taking pictures by the pool in the square along the way. However, over the past ten years, it is unexpected that the changes here are really great.At that time, there were no college students taking pictures around here at all.He remembered the scene with Zhong Mingyue when he was a child, and couldn't help but smile. "Sir, can you take some photos for me?" A male college student saw Xia Zicheng, stepped forward and said politely. Xia Zicheng happily took the camera.The other party hugged his girlfriend and made various gestures, then shouted OK!The background is a pool. Through the camera, we can see the water splashes in the pool gushing out and then falling down. As they walked towards the library, Li Tiaotiao said, "That female college student just now is really beautiful!" "Really? How could my Xia Zicheng's wife look good?" Li Tiaotiao leaned over happily, only smiling sweetly, without saying a word. Back home, Xia Zicheng couldn't wait to turn on the computer, log in and enter the password to enter the "killing game".He searched for "killer maniac" in the killing game, but found that the other party was offline. "Did you really do the death that happened in East Lake today?" Xia Zicheng actually believed the murderer's words and typed a message.
