Chapter 3 Chapter One

Road to Road, very Avenue. The name can be named, very famous. These two sentences come from, although there are only a few numbers, they tell the truth of everything in the world.It may take a lifetime to explain these two sentences correctly and completely, but to briefly explain their meaning, it may be understood as: the truth that can be said is definitely not the truth.What is famous is by no means eternal. The world is so big, there are no surprises, and unexplainable anecdotes and strange things happen every day, and they are circulated in the market and become the talk of the general public after dinner.Everyone has his own experience and his own opinions. Facing hearsay rumors, of course, he will add his own subjective ideas. When he tells the rumors to others, it is already another version.

Almost all the rumors have become unrecognizable due to erroneous rumors, and even run counter to the facts, and are more likely to become ghost legends that the elders frighten the children.But who has ever thought that the truth is often more absurd than the legends passed down by people's oral traditions. My surname is Mu, and my name is Shen Yu. When I was young, I was weak and sick. My mother feared that I would not grow up, so she gave me to others to raise me.Although it is said to be a gift to someone else, it is actually just to find me a good wife.There is a strange custom in the mother's natal family, which is to find a godmother as a good wife for a sick child, thinking that this can make the child grow up healthily.

My yipo is known as ghost poling, and she is the most famous witch in my hometown. Every year, no less than a hundred young children come to her for a contract.However, Yipo is not a casual one. She only signs contracts for nine young children every year. It is said that she is afraid that there will be too many friends and she will not be able to do it. I was born in the ghost month, and when I was born, I was not a month old, so I was very sick from birth.My mother said that when I was 18 months old, I had a high fever for three days in a row, and the highest temperature reached 40 degrees.After two days of hospitalization, the medicine was still ineffective, and the doctors were helpless.Seeing that it was about to die, fortunately my aunt arrived in time and let my mother hug me to go to Ghost Poling for help.

My aunt is a fisherman, and she spends more time wandering at sea than on shore. At that time, she knew that I was critically ill as soon as she landed. Before the catch was processed, she rushed to the hospital and took my mother and me to find the ghost Poling. . Ghost Poling is a distant relative of my aunt, who lives on a dilapidated stone boat.The so-called stone boat is simply a boat-shaped house built on the shore, made of bricks, stones, wood, iron sheets and other materials. Although it looks like a fishing boat from a distance, it is fixed and cannot be moved. It was the day before New Year's Eve, and it was already dark when we arrived at Ghost Poling's place.Because it was close to the end of the year, she had closed the altar, and she was unwilling to practice exorcising evil spirits for me, so she reluctantly agreed after my aunt begged repeatedly.

According to my mother, I was still drowsy when I first entered the stone boat, but after doing the magic tricks and drinking the magic tea she asked for in front of the "Sister-in-law" statue, I immediately became more energetic, and even more so when I left the stone boat. It is alive and well.After returning home and decocting the herbs she gave, the fever subsided. After the Chinese New Year, my mother begged the ghost mother-in-law to accept me as a friend, but she refused to agree at first, and finally she nodded when her aunt came forward and begged again.I heard that that year, she only contracted me as a friend.

On the day of the contract, my mother-in-law gave me a string of black beads made of "soul-fixing iron". She said that I was easily scared out of my soul, so I had to wear the "soul-fixing iron" as ornaments all my life to keep my soul alive. stable. In fact, every child in my mother's natal family wears a bracelet or pendant made of soul-fixing iron, and my mother once wanted to find one for me, but although this thing may not be precious, it is not easy to find.So I still wear the small bead chain given by my mother-in-law until now, but because of getting older and thicker wrists, I keep increasing the number of small beads.As for these new beads, my great-aunt begged from another distant relative.

Every Chinese New Year, I would visit Yipo. The stone boat she lived in looked nothing special from the outside, but inside it looked like a small temple, surrounded by sandalwood and the sound of Buddha.There are many pennants hanging on both sides of the main hall, all sent by the benefactors. Every time I go, I find more than before. In recent years, there are so many that there is no place to hang them.This probably has something to do with the social atmosphere, because when I was young, Yipo was regarded as a "ghost and snake god". There is a small warehouse behind the main hall, which is filled with all kinds of strange herbs.The reason why it is strange is not because these herbs are rare, on the contrary, these herbs can be picked on the roadside in the past. The strange thing about them is that there is no record about them after searching the entire book.However, when I was a child, I relied on them to cure any minor ailments and pains.Strange to say, my mother said that since I signed the deed, I seldom get sick. Occasionally, I have a cold and runny nose, and I will be cured immediately if I ask my mother-in-law to drink some herbs and boil water.Before that, I spent no less time in the hospital than at home.

When I was about eleven or twelve years old, I went to visit my mother-in-law before the Chinese New Year. She looked at me in silence for a long time, then sighed, and said to me seriously: "Huazi, my mother-in-law is not very capable, I'm afraid At most, it can only protect you until you are an adult, and you will definitely become a policeman when you grow up..." My mother-in-law said that I was born in the ghost moon, and I was born with a ghost life. I have a particularly strong yin energy and easily provoke goblins. When I was just born, it was because I provoked a fox fairy in the hospital that I often fell ill.As for why there were fox fairies in the hospital, she couldn't tell.

The "sister-in-law" believed by Yipo is a god who specially blesses Huazihuanv (that is, boys and girls). After the "adult ceremony", the "sister-in-law" doesn't care.Although the soul-fixing iron has the effect of warding off evil spirits, it is only effective against ordinary spirits and monsters, and has little effect on some powerful monsters. I have never been able to figure out which immortality "Sister-in-law" is, and my mother-in-law didn't explain it to me.Within the scope of my knowledge, the only deity that is more consistent with "Sister-in-law" is "Pillow Mother-in-law", which is the legendary Yin family of Nezha's mother.

Yipo said that when I grow up, I have to rely on my imperial spirit to drive back the goblins, so that they can't mess with me so easily.Although I didn't understand at the time that the "growth" she said actually meant experiencing the relationship between men and women, but since then, I have determined to be a good policeman who eliminates violence and promotes peace.She also said that even with imperial protection, I have to be careful in everything, because my fate is destined to deal with them, and there will be great storms in my life, and if I am not careful, I may lose my life.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye I am nearly thirty years old. I have been in the police force for several years, and I have seen many storms, but I am still a nobody.Although my luck is bad now, I also had a good life in the past... Alas, it’s fine not to mention the courage of the past, let’s face the reality! "Stop!" In the past two years, I have said this sentence eight or ten times almost every day, because I am a policeman, an unlucky policeman who specializes in catching pickpockets. The one I bumped into today is a new face, but judging from his footwork as much as a marathon runner, he is definitely not a rookie, and he should come from another community.Pickpocketing is a relatively mobile occupation. They usually don't stay in a certain place for a long time to work... To be precise, they are committing crimes. After all, they eat a special meal. If they stay in one place for a long time, bloody disasters will naturally come to them. Come. Countless passers-by on the bustling streets were watching the chase between me and the pickpocket with cold eyes. If one of them could step forward, I wouldn't have to run out of breath.It's a pity that I haven't met such a good citizen during the two years I stayed in the anti-pickup squad. The distance between me and the pickpocket was less than ten meters just now. If I could run a little longer, I could have caught him, but my damned right leg was cramped at an untimely moment, so I could only limp and chase after him. The distance opened instantly.He glanced back at me, pulled a wad of hundred-dollar bills from his stolen wallet, dropped the wallet on the floor, and was about to sprint down a dark alley.It was too late, but soon, a white arm grabbed his back collar and lifted him up. I ran to the pickpocket and gasped for breath, and finally recovered, only then did I realize that it was a tall girl who was grabbing him.This girl is quite delicate, with willow eyebrows and almond eyes, long flowing hair, slender legs, and not necessarily thick arms. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe that she could lift an adult up with one hand. stand up.Although the pickpocket is a little short in stature, he must weigh fifty kilograms, and I would definitely not be able to do it. "Did he steal your wallet?" The girl's tone was very dignified, with a taste of a green man. At this time, a young man who came from behind picked up the wallet on the ground, rushed to us and said, "He stole my wallet." He is the owner. I took out my police ID card and showed it to the girl. She glanced at it and said to me disdainfully, "So your name is Mu Shenyu... Poor people can be policemen, no wonder the public security is so bad now." I pretended to cough to cover up my embarrassment: "Cough, cough...Thank you for your enthusiastic help, I can handle it now." The girl also took out a police ID, from which she learned that her name was Li Zhenzhen: "I'm afraid you'll have cramps again later and let him run away, so I'd better catch him for you, brother!" When the word "senior brother" came out of her mouth, it sounded particularly harsh, and it was clearly meant to ridicule me.Alas, I really want to find a trash can and get into it, damn cramped legs! "You two, if you want to play with guns, go home and play, don't waste my time, okay!" The pickpocket obviously doesn't like being carried by people all the time, and he is still carried by a girl. Seeing him look more embarrassing than me , My heart is immediately balanced. Zhen Zhen put him down, but still grabbed him by the back of the collar, and unpreparedly punched him fiercely in the waist. The pain made him almost cry, and he yelled at the police to beat him, which immediately attracted a crowd of people. Crowds of people watching with big ladles of good things. "It's great that you think you're a cop! I didn't steal or rob me, so don't try to beat me to it!" It seemed that he was going to play tricks. Acting is not only a living skill for actors, it is also a compulsory subject for pickpockets. I took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket, all about a dozen or so one hundred yuan.I took the banknote and shook it in front of him twice: "Isn't this what you stole?" "What are you stealing! The money is in my pocket, of course it belongs to me, everyone judges!" It's a loss for the entertainment industry if this kid doesn't make a movie.Alas, why didn't everyone be so enthusiastic when I was chasing him just now. "Say it again!" I raised my fist and was about to hit his wretched face. Of course he wouldn't be stupid enough to let me beat him, and immediately subconsciously covered his head with both hands.Seeing this, the onlookers talked a lot, and most of them thought that I was suspected of abusing violence. I closed my fist and handed the banknotes to him: "Let me ask you again, are you sure the money is yours?" "Of course!" His answer was quite straightforward, as if it really belonged to him. "Then I will arrest you, because you have a lot of counterfeit money." I smiled and showed the banknotes in my hand to the onlookers. "What?" He looked at the banknotes in my hand with wide eyes. It was indeed a stack of counterfeit banknotes, and it was so obvious that the crowd onlookers could tell. "This money is not mine, it's his." He hurriedly pointed at the owner, "It's his, it's his." The owner quickly waved his hand and shook his head: "This money is not mine, it's not mine, I don't have fake money." I ignored the owner who looked like a fool, and said to the pickpocket seriously: "Are you admitting to stealing his wallet?" "This..." He nodded helplessly. I raised my fist again, and he quickly covered his head with both hands and exclaimed in surprise, "I admit it, but I still want to fight?" "Who said I'm going to beat you! Look at the money again..." I showed the banknotes in my hand again. "Is it true? What's going on?" He was baffled.Zhen Zhen, who had been treating me like a clown just now, also cast doubtful eyes. While everyone was discussing, suddenly a little girl exclaimed excitedly: "Uncle Policeman is a magician!" I smiled triumphantly, walked up to the little girl and squatted down to stroke her hair gently, and took out a candy from it: "You guessed it right, I will reward you with candy." An hour later, I was sitting in my office rubbing my right leg and smoking a cigarette helplessly.The pickpocket was caught, but the owner "disappeared". This happens every day, and of course the pickpocket pats his ass and leaves.This may be one of the main reasons why law and order is difficult to improve. "What's the matter, the old disease has relapsed again?" My colleague Zhu Yong came over to comfort me.Although his care could not relieve my physical pain, I felt a sense of comfort in my heart.I tossed a cigarette to him, and tried my best to put on a more natural smile: "It's okay, just rest for a while." He sat next to me, lit a cigarette, and complained, "I don't know what the boss is thinking. You have solved so many big cases in the Science and Investigation Bureau, and you were transferred here to catch thieves. What a disaster!" "Oh..." I sighed.Telling him this, I can't help feeling a little bit about my life experience.Two years ago, I was hailed as the rookie king just like Xiao in the Criminal Investigation Bureau. If it wasn't for the weird case of the ancient sword serial murder, I wouldn't have ended up in the same situation. When it comes to the anti-pornography team, Xiaoxiang, his old partner, is still missing.However, having said that, if I were given another chance, I would still persist in the investigation and never give up until the truth came to light.This is the principle of my life. After chatting with Zhu Yong for a while, the captain Wang Bin came over with a notice: "Amu, you have finally guarded the sky and the moon is shining. When you get promoted in the future, don't forget our brothers!" "I'm still alive, what kind of coffin is being raised!" I grabbed the notice and felt confused after reading it.It was a transfer notice, instructing me to report to the "Curious Crime Squad" immediately, but I had never heard of this department in my years of police service, so I asked them if I had heard of it. "It doesn't matter what department he is in, anyway, going to that department is better than catching thieves here." Zhu Yong patted me on the shoulder to show encouragement. He was right, there is probably no department in the police force that frustrates me more than the Anti-Pickpocket Squad.Although I feel very puzzled in my heart, I am still ready to report.Of course, Wang Bin will not let me go so easily, this transfer meal cannot escape. The notice said that the office of the crime team is in the Public Security Bureau, but I have been jumping up and down here for four or five years. There is no crime team, it should be newly established.I asked a lot of brothers and sisters, but no one knew about it. After running all over the building, I found a small sign with "Strange Case Handling Team" printed on it next to an inconspicuous door next to the toilet on the third floor. When I opened the door and entered, I found that the inside was not as shabby as I imagined. The place was quite large, with plenty of light. Five desks and a large filing cabinet were neatly arranged on both sides, and there was a group leader's office in the innermost part.There was a man and three women inside. Among them, two girls, one tall and one short, were chatting with their backs to the door, and the other girl stood blankly in a dark corner where the light could not reach.The only boy sat in front of the computer and kept typing on the keyboard. He was not tall, but very thin, as thin as a monkey, and he hadn't bathed for a long time.I suddenly felt that he looked familiar, as if he was a suspect who had been arrested before. "Verberon? Why are you here?" After thinking for a while, he finally remembered that this monkey had been arrested and questioned for hacking into the government's computer system. Unfortunately, there was not enough evidence at that time to file a case against him. He looked up at me with a helpless expression on his face: "I was recruited." "Do you know each other?" The two girls who were chatting with their backs to the door just now came in, and one of them turned out to be Zhen Zhen who helped me catch a pickpocket not long ago. After the girl standing blankly in the corner also came over, we each introduced ourselves, and I was the first to speak: "Xiaosheng's surname is Mu Ming Shen Yu. He joined the police force for more than six years. Just call me Amu." "My name is Li Zhenzhen. I graduated from the Armed Police School and worked in the Armed Police Force for two years." Zhenzhen glanced at me intentionally or unintentionally, as if to demonstrate to me.To be honest, I don't think the armed police are so great, they are just a group of coolies who can only use their fists but not their brains! "My real name is Wei Bolun, and netizens call me Viagra. If you don't mind, you can call me Viagra. Anyway, I am a little older than you. I was originally a great hacker, and I have done a lot of big things before. You police have never been able to do anything to me. But this morning, a few policemen kicked my house for no reason, took me back, and said that if I refused, I would close it for three to five years. What is the world, oh ..." Viagra shook his head and sighed as he spoke, as if he had been greatly wronged. "My name is Le Xiaomiao. My friends call me Miaomiao. I just joined the police force and I don't know anything. Please take care of me." It was the short girl who was chatting with Zhenzhen just now. She was only about 156cm tall and had long hair. Shoulder length, big bright eyes, and a baby face.I really wonder if she took this place as a school and went to the wrong door. No matter how you look at it, she is still a student!And still a high school student.With her height, unless she has a certain personnel relationship, it is impossible to work in the police force. What was left was a mature beauty with a slender figure.In my eyes, her maturity is mainly reflected in her breasts. With years of experience in handling cases, I can be sure that she has at least a C cup, and there are many possibilities for a D cup.When I appraised her figure from the side and guessed what cup size she was, I found that there seemed to be something hidden behind her slender waist on the right side, but she concealed it well with a coat, so it was not easy to be found .Her expression was indifferent, and when she spoke, it was as cold as snow: "My name is Yuan Xueqing, and I was transferred from the firearms identification team..." As soon as Xueqing opened her mouth, someone opened the door and came in. It was a fat middle-aged man who came to us with a file folder: "Everyone is here, my name is Liang Zheng, from now on Your team leader." Liang Zheng, a name I haven't seen for a long time, I have long thought that he was the one who transferred me: "Boss, you have a good life in the anti-pornography team, what the hell is going on with this crime team?" "The Conspiracy Team was established by the director's order to deal with all supernatural incidents in the province." Liang Zheng handed me the folder, and said, "There was a mess in the medical university, two people died and one was injured. The director said If the case cannot be solved within a week, the crime squad will have to be disbanded, and all of you will be laid off." Viagra raised his hand weakly: "I'm not one of you!" The slack muscles on the boss's face suddenly tightened, and he glared at him like an angry tiger dog and yelled, "If you talk nonsense again, I will shoot you immediately for espionage! How dare you hack into the computer system of the Hong Kong Police Station? Leave the Trojan horse program behind." "I just want to see a few more body art photos taken by Brother Xi..." Wei Ge said with a mocking smile.But the boss was ruthless, pointing at him and yelling: "Xueqing, I order you to shoot this pervert immediately!" "Yes, sir!" Xueqing quickly pulled out a Type 54 pistol from her coat and aimed it at Viagra's forehead. Viagra immediately raised his right hand and held up three fingers: "I swear in the name of a hacker, from now on I will do my best to assist everyone in the investigation. If there is any falsehood, the whole body will be covered with small dicks!" In an instant, but his face was covered with sweat. "Sir, are you sure you want to shoot the suspect?" Xue Qing fixed her eyes on Viagra, loaded the bullet without hesitation, her tone was so cold and emotionless, as if what she saw was just a marking handle for practicing marksmanship. "Let him live a few more days first, and if he dares to make small moves, you can make him a eunuch." The boss gave Viagra a hard look, which made him tremble a few times. "Yes, sir!" Xue Qing glanced at Viagra's lower body, then retracted the bullet in a skillful way, and put the pistol back into the jacket, and then acted as if nothing had happened, with an indifferent expression on her face.Viagra clamped his hands to protect his genitals and his legs tightly, for fear that the other party would shoot him in the crotch unexpectedly. "What do you think about this case?" The boss said to me peacefully after repairing Viagra. I took a cursory look at the contents of the file. It was a murder case involving ghost legends, but from the superficial evidence, it should not be the work of ghosts: "I don't think it's really haunted! Generally speaking, ghosts are suspected The victims all died of myocardial infarction, that is, they were frightened to death, but the report said that the deceased had obvious injuries." "Well, your analysis makes sense. I don't care if the murderer is a man or a ghost. Anyway, the case will be solved within a week. You and Zhen Zhen go to the hospital to understand the situation with the injured, and report to me if you find anything." Boss After speaking, he walked into his office. Zhen Zhen looked me up and down suspiciously, and I shrugged helplessly: "Let's go, it depends on the handsome guy's time in the future." Zhenzhen gave me a blank look: "Cut, you are considered handsome, and you don't even take a pee to take care of yourself."
