Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen

A few hours later, the man's body was lying on the dissection table of the research institute. Qin Zheming, dressed in a white coat, looked at the wound and sighed: "It's a fate that this man survived such a serious injury." "It's a pity that he didn't live long." Bai Xiaozhou added from the side. While talking, Xiao Lin came in with two dark circles under his eyes, and put a folder in front of them: "His identity has been found out, he is a reporter for "Today's Important News", he was seriously injured a year ago, and several people were rescued by the hospital." It took several days and nights to barely revive her, and she was discharged from the hospital before fully recovering from her injuries, and her whereabouts have been unknown for a year."

"What was the injury?" Xiao Lin's face was a little ugly: "I checked the file, and it said he was in a car accident." Qin Zheming sneered and said, "I have read countless corpses, but I have never seen such a car accident corpse." "Where did the car accident happen that year?" "Shuifang Mountain is about a three-hour drive from the city, and the file says that someone found him on the road." Xiao Lin's face was heavy, "The content of this file is vague, I suspect..." "is fake?" "The person who handled this case was either transferred or sacrificed." Xiao Lin's tone became lower and lower as he spoke, "I suspect that this case is not that simple. Tell me, do you want to remind Bu Er?"

"He is now trapped in the gentle village." Qin Zheming sighed, "It's useless to say anything." After a while of silence, Bai Xiaozhou said: "It seems that we still have to start with Ning Chuqian. I always feel that her life experience is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Didn't her father die? How did he die?" "It seems that he died of illness." Xiao Lin seemed to have realized something, "I will investigate in detail." He took out his phone, and it was from the bureau, and his expression changed after hearing a few sentences. "There was an accident in that amusement park, and the caretaker of the Ferris wheel died."

Blood again, blood all over the room. The management room of the ferris wheel has been reduced to hell, and since the accident, the playground has been temporarily closed.The manager of the amusement park was sitting on a bench not far away, his eyes were a little dull, and the sun was reflected in his slicked-up hair, making his sad face even more horrible. "The administrator has resigned." Xiao Lin covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, "I came back today to get some things. According to the manager of the playground, he saw the administrator enter the management room, followed by a young and beautiful woman. He didn't pay attention at first, but then he heard a scream, and when he rushed over, the place looked like this, and the young woman had disappeared." He paused, and then said, "I took Ning Chuqian's photo Show him, and he'll be sure it's her."

"How can he be so sure?" Xiao Lin pointed in the direction of the gate: "There is a camera opposite the gate of the amusement park. When the crime happened, a woman who looked very similar to Ning Chuqian did enter the playground." Bai Xiaozhou frowned: "Where is Siqi?" "Si Qi has been staring at him all day, and Ning Chuqian has been in the hospital." "That's weird, could it be that she knows how to clone?" Bai Xiaozhou muttered in a low voice, Xiao Lin looked around and said in a low voice, "But the camera didn't capture the picture of her leaving."

Bai Xiaozhou was startled: "Where is the back door?" "The back door is locked and there is a guard." Bai Xiaozhou took a deep breath and looked around: "So, she is still in this playground." Reality is always crueler than ideals. When night fell and the lights came on, the carpet search was almost over, but nothing was found, let alone a living person, not even a living mouse. At that moment Bai Xiaozhou stood in the night, the sky sank into the curtain, she felt the bone-chilling cold, as if she was in a morgue, with wisps of cold mist overflowing from the freezer, wrapping her layer by layer, deep into the marrow of her bones.

Ning Chuqian, who had murdered someone, disappeared from the playground out of thin air. Except for a corpse that was so broken that even the thigh bones could not be distinguished, there was nothing left, as if she had never appeared before. The reporter's dying words echoed in her ears, hitting her eardrums. Must kill her, otherwise more people will die! Because the case was extremely serious and the modus operandi was extremely cruel, even though Ning Chuqian had a perfect alibi, the police still detained her in the name of assisting in the investigation.Originally, Bai Xiaozhou thought that Ye Buer would be excited, but unexpectedly he was surprisingly quiet, sitting on the hospital bed in a daze, his eyes staring straight at the yellow jujube tree outside the window, he was so engrossed, as if his soul was the same as the hundred-year-old tree. The old tree became one.

Qu Siqi felt nervous, and asked cautiously, "Fuer, are you alright?" "Actually... I know." Qu Siqi and Bai Xiaozhou felt cold all over: "What do you know?" "I know that there is a secret hidden in Chu Qian." Ye Buer's voice was low, as if there was a hint of crying, "I knew it from the first time I saw her. I also knew that her attitude towards me suddenly changed. There must be some intention, she is so good, how could she like someone like me, but I dare not think about it carefully, I am afraid..." Bai Xiaozhou felt that his eyes were a little sore, and walked over to hold his shoulder: "Fuer, it's too early to say this now." Suddenly his wrist tightened, and Ye Buer pulled her, begging: "Xiaozhou, but I really I feel that she is in danger, and the Ferris wheel accident must be aimed at her, and I must protect her."

"She's on her way to the police station right now. She's protected by the police all the way. Don't worry, she'll be fine." Before she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a loud shout: "No!" The two of them were startled, and turned their heads to look at the nagging Qu Siqi, who was grabbing his hair with a pale face: "Oops, something is going to happen." Ye Buer jumped off the bed excitedly: "Chu Qian is in danger?" "I saw that the police car escorting Ning Chuqian had an accident." Qu Siqi shook his head, "The car crashed and people died."

Bai Xiaozhou's heart skipped a beat, the car crashed and people died?The reporter's dying words and the tragic situation at the scene of the crime were lingering in front of her eyes. If she were to die like this... Ye Buer didn't say anything, turned around and rushed out. Seeing that Bai Xiaozhou was still in a daze, Qu Siqi said urgently: "Call Brother Xiao Lin quickly, he is also in the car!" Xiao Lin sat in the passenger seat and observed Ning Chuqian from the rearview mirror. She looked a little melancholy and didn't say anything. She just looked out the window quietly, as if she was thinking about something.He felt a little uneasy, could this girl really commit such a horrific crime?The reporter kept saying that she was a monster, but he checked her background. Her father was an ordinary civil servant, her mother died early, and her family background was clean. She has lived an ordinary life for the past twenty years.Could ordinary humans suddenly turn into murderous monsters?What made her change?

If she suddenly got into trouble in the car, how likely are he and the driver, Xiao Chen, to survive? The thought made him shudder, and he wished that the car would immediately fly into the police station.It would be great if the boss and Chu Xia were here, why should he be so worried? "Officer Lin." Ning Chuqian said suddenly, Xiao Lin shuddered and asked, "What's the matter?" "Do you believe in love?" Xiao Lin froze for a moment, didn't understand what she meant, and didn't know how to answer for a moment. He didn't have a girlfriend yet, and he had never thought about whether it was love or not: "This question...is a bit profound..." "Do you believe that someone will change because of love?" Ning Chuqian turned her head, stared at the rearview mirror, and looked at him, "Do you not regret it even if you become a monster?" Hearing the word "monster", the hairs all over Xiao Lin's body stood up again. He felt that the eyes in the mirror were as sharp as knives, cutting his skin, making his face cold, and a layer of fine lines appeared on his forehead. beads of sweat.His throat rolled, and he swallowed his saliva: "Can you explain more clearly?" Ning Chuqian suddenly laughed, that smile was sweet and bright, but Xiao Lin felt that she was like a ghost: "You won't understand." Before Xiao Lin recovered from the girl's strange question, there was a sudden noise in the front compartment, and plumes of smoke came out from the gap. The driver Xiao Chen hurriedly pulled over and said, "Maybe there is something wrong with the engine. It's strange, this car just It hasn't been long since the inspection." He opened the car door, got out of the car to check, and the phone in Xiao Lin's pocket suddenly rang. "Brother Xiao Lin, quickly take Ning Chuqian out of the car!" Bai Xiaozhou shouted on the other end of the phone, "Someone wants to kill her!" Xiao Lin's scalp tingled for a while, before he had time to think about it, he turned around and shouted to Ning Chuqian, "Get out of the car!" Ning Chuqian hurried to open the door, but she couldn't open it no matter what, Xiao Lin pulled the car door, but it didn't move at all, and she was shocked , Could it be that someone tampered with it and said anxiously: "Get down quickly." Ning Chuqian bent down with her head in her arms, and Xiao Lin took out his baton and broke the car window forcefully, pulling her out. Xiao Chen, who was checking the engine, gave them a strange look: "Brother Xiao Lin, what happened?" In the police car, the huge bang made the minds of the two go blank, and it took a long time for them to recover from the dizzying situation after falling to the ground. "How do you drive!" The first thing Xiao Chen did when he got up from the ground was to yell at the truck, "Driving in the reverse direction on the inner ring expressway, you don't want to live..." He didn't finish his sentence, because the truck driver He was indeed dead, the broken glass pierced his entire upper body, dripping with blood. But Kobayashi discovered a more frightening fact. Ning Chuqian was gone. "The alcohol content in the corpse exceeded the standard by five times. The deceased drank a lot of alcohol." Qin Zheming pointed to the liver on the plate. "The deceased had an alcoholic liver. It was not a day's cold to freeze three feet. He must be an old alcoholic." Bai Xiaozhou frowned and said, "You mean, this is just an ordinary traffic accident?" "If it is artificial, the other party must be a master, and they have done it flawlessly." "It's the company." Bai Xiaozhou said, "It must be the company that the reporter said." Kobayashi couldn't believe it. "Even if there are any companies, why would they do this?" Qu Siqi's face was a little gloomy. "Have you ever thought about the possibility that all the abnormalities in Ning Chuqian are related to this company? And Ning Chuqian is out of their control, or they are also afraid of the secrets in Ning Chuqian, so they want to Kill and silence." Several people looked at each other and felt that it was not impossible. Qu Siqi turned his head to look at Ye Buer, who was sitting in the corner with his head down, wringing his fingers uneasily: "Fuer, did she tell you anything?" Ye Buer raised his head, his eyes were a little empty, he hesitated for a while, shook his head and said, "I'm so tired, I want to go home." Looking at his pale face and haggard look, Qu Siqi couldn't bear it. "Then you go back first, take a good rest, and I will notify you as soon as I have news." Ye Buer nodded slightly, got up and went out, his back was lonely, Qu Siqi looked at him in awe: "What a good boy, what do you think Ning Chuqian is up to? Why didn't anyone look for him, but came to provoke us?" two?" A light flashed in Bai Xiaozhou's heart, and he took a breath and asked, "Where is Buer's hometown?" Qu Siqi didn't know why she asked this suddenly, and thought for a long time: "It seems to be some kind of mountain, I only heard him mention it once. " Qin Zheming glanced at them like an idiot: "The research institute has information about all of you." One word awakened the dreamer, and the two rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find Ye Buer's folder, Bai Xiaozhou's expression immediately changed: "Yunting Mountain, it is really Yunting Mountain." She stared wide-eyed in shock, rather Chu Qian went to Yunting Mountain when she was a child, is this a coincidence?If it was just a coincidence, why would she put that photo on the bedside so preciously? A crazy thought flashed through her mind, she clenched the file folder tightly and said in a low voice, "Did they know each other since childhood?" When Ye Buer came out of the research institute, the cell phone in his pocket suddenly rang. It was a text message from an unknown source. The content of the text message was only one sentence: "See you at the old place at three o'clock in the afternoon." He hesitated for a while, then looked back at the research institute , put the phone in his pocket, frowned deeply, and said in a low voice: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you." Qu Siqi called Ye Buer over and over again, but no one answered. He was sweating profusely, pacing back and forth in the research institute. "He must have gone to find Ning Chuqian, what if that woman really has some plans for him?" "What plan?" Qin Zheming interrupted, and Qu Siqi thought for a while and said, "Could it be that she has to eat mandrill meat to survive?" Qin Zheming rolled his eyes, this kid lacks everything except imagination. Bai Xiaozhou, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, "Perhaps, Ning Chuqian really likes her." Several men looked at her, their eyes widened. Could it be that there are really women in this world who only look at the heart and not the appearance? Bai Xiaozhou didn't explain, and remained silent for a moment, then took out several paper packages from the cabinet, each with his name written on it, and Qu Siqi found that one belonged to him: "This is it?" "This is the hair collected by Teacher Long. Every member of the institute has it." Qu Siqi suddenly realized that this is a kind of secret technique. Using hair and charms, the owner of the hair can be found. In order to prevent the members of the research institute from disappearing while handling the case, Long Chuxia collected the hair of several people in case of emergencies. need.In previous cases, this kind of secret technique helped a lot. Bai Xiaozhou found the cinnabar and talisman paper, dipped the cinnabar with a brush, and drew a spell on the talisman paper in one go, folded it into a thousand paper cranes, then put Ye Buer's hair in it, lit it on fire, and called out With a bang, the talisman paper burned into a ball of yellow flames, and the flames exploded with a bang, and a black bird flew out of the fire, flapping its wings, and flew towards the door. This black bird transformed from talisman paper will lead them to find Ye Buer. The sun is shining brightly, and the trees in Anlin Park in C City are verdant, the wind blows the hot air, the branches sway overhead, making a soft rustling sound, cutting the sunlight into broken light spots, which hit the grass, like ones clinging to each other. Fireflies flying over the ground. This park is located in a remote place, except for the elderly who do morning exercises, few people come here.Ye Buer came along the moss-covered bluestone road, looked around, sat down on the green long stone bench by the roadside, and waited quietly. A pair of hands suddenly stretched out from behind him, wrapping their arms around his neck lightly. His heart moved, and he gently held those hands: "Chu Qian." Ning Chuqian came out from behind him, with a charming smile still floating on her face, but there was a hint of sadness between her brows, adding to her the beauty of Xizi holding her heart.She sat down beside him, hugged his arm, and put her head on his shoulder lightly: "no two, shall we get out of here?" Ye Buer held her hand, her hand was very beautiful, with long fingers, pretty like onion roots, with a faint red color on the fingertips, well-maintained nails, painted with transparent nail polish, he carefully cleaned the whole He held his hand tightly in his palm: "Where are you going?" "Go to Yunting Mountain." Ye Buer was shocked, turned his head to look at her, she raised her head and looked at her, her eyes were black and bright, just like that beautiful night many years ago, childhood sweetheart, childhood sweetheart. "No two, I can no longer live here, take me to your hometown." Ning Chuqian begged, her voice trembling, with a slight cry, "We will live together in the mountains, and we will never be separated again. ?" Ye Buer grabbed her shoulder and asked seriously: "Chu Qian, what happened to you, tell me, and I will help you solve it." Ning Chuqian shook her head, tears slipped from her beautiful eyes, and a slight tear streak was drawn on her white face: "You can't solve it, Bu Er, please, take me away." Ye Buer was silent for a moment, and seemed to have made up his mind: "Okay, Chu Qian, I will take you away, but you have to tell me first, what happened, those people... did you really kill those people? " Ning Chuqian opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but the words reached her throat, and she finally swallowed them back. She covered her face and cried: "They are right, I am a monster, I really became a monster. I didn't expect it to become like this, no two, I just want to be with you." "Monster?" Ye Buer's heart tightened, "You are obviously a human, why did you become a monster?" Ning Chuqian grabbed his arm so tightly that her nails dug into the flesh: "Do you remember what your father said twelve years ago?" Ye Buer looked at her in disbelief, and his thoughts were brought back to many years ago, when they were both only eight years old, he was a little mandrill, and he followed the animals all over the sky and wild in the mountains and forests all day long, carefree. He remembered that it was a winter night, the snow covered the whole mountain and river, but the sky was extremely clear, the sky was like a curtain, dotted with diamonds, shining with charming light.He saw a white deer with a pure white body and bright black eyes, as if it had merged with the heavy snow.He remembered that his father said that there used to be white deer in Yunting Mountain, they were the messengers of the gods, and if ordinary people saw them, they would be able to obtain happiness and joy.However, due to environmental pollution, the white deer has not been seen in the mountains for many years, and it may have been extinct.Recently, someone is going to develop a resort in Yunting Mountain. I don't know if these mandrills can continue to live here. The moment he saw the white deer, his heart was wrapped in warmth, as if he saw hope again, he chased it, running from one hill to another, he didn't know why the white deer ran so fast, after many years In retrospect, maybe the white deer was really the messenger of God, leading him to his destiny. After crossing another hill, the white deer ran into a pine forest and disappeared. He searched aimlessly in the forest, but heard a low cry, like a kitten whimpering. He pushed through the bushes, but he didn't see the white deer or the cat. Instead, he saw a little girl in a ski suit, about his age, sitting on the snow, covering her face and crying softly.Against the backdrop of the moonlight and snow, her skin was a little transparent, as if she could see the blue blood vessels underneath. Hearing the sound, the little girl raised her head in horror and stared at him intently. Her big and bright eyes were full of disbelief. After a long time, she asked, "Who are you?" The mandrill is a kind of mountain monster that looks similar to a human, except that when it is a minor, a layer of black fluff grows on the back of the body and the back of the limbs, which looks like a piece of fur is worn next to the body.At that time, Ye Buer didn't know that their family had an astonishing beauty, and without that layer of fluff, he would still be a cute and exquisite boy.The mandrill became an adult at the age of fifty, and before he reached adulthood, he could only use magic to cover up his fur, but this magic also had a sequelae, that is, it made him ugly. Therefore, the cute boy back then is now an ugly monster.
