Chapter 1063 The Dead
Although the urban and rural port has the word "Hong Kong", it is not close to Hujiang.
It is an old street located on the edge of Qingtian District, borrowing the word "urban and rural", so most of the people living there are migrant workers.
Of course, because of this characteristic, the conditions here are not very good.
One word to describe it is: "mixed with fish and dragons".
As the evening of getting off work, Mei Sheng drove a special car for the seventh branch to the target along the expressway.
This road is a little congested, but it is much better than before. After all, today is New Year's Day.
Mei Sheng drove the car meticulously, her body tensed tightly, and her hands firmly held on the steering wheel.
While driving, she didn't say a word, and it seemed that her driving level was not high.
Ji Li, who was sitting in the passenger seat, slid the screen of her phone while smoking a cigarette, and her face was calm.
He was searching for recent social news to see if there was something worth noting.
On my way back at Tiannan College last night, I witnessed a "kidnapping case" with my own eyes, and it is absolutely impossible for no reason.
Especially after less than twenty-four hours, a new task suddenly came, which is even more worthy of attention.
Ji Li's execution experience is probably richer than most clerks, and his task density is second to none in the top ten branches.
It is this rich experience that gives him keen insight into some mission precursors.
This time it was another commission mission, using the name of the Seventh Spiritual Exploration Institute.
Obviously, this mission is related to the "case", which means that I don't know if it is related to the kidnapping last night.
However, after reading the recent news for a certain period of time, he turned off his phone again with a little disappointment.
These news are all things that are not nutritious, and are basically preheating for New Year's Day and content used to promote consumption.
Ji Li lowered the car window completely, reached out to the window and dusted the ashes, frowned.
The snow stopped after Tiannan ended, but the cold wind in winter was still a little cold.
As soon as a piece of ashes was dusted off, it was blown back into the car by the wind, landing on Mei Sheng's side face, which scared her and her hands trembled.
Mei Sheng suddenly stepped on the brakes, and the car stopped on the congested road, almost colliding with the rear of the car in front.
She turned her head dissatisfiedly, looked at Ji Li and said:
"Can you not affect me?"
Ji Li turned around and glanced at Mei Sheng with a serious expression. He didn't say anything but silently ignored her, and took a sip of cigarette in the wind.
The vehicle in front began to move, Mei Sheng waited for a while, and then slowly ran the car after ensuring a safe distance.
This time she drove very slowly. Although she was not fast before, she was about to arrive at her destination and made her less tense, so she said:
"As soon as Tiannan mission was released, all four major branches fell into a suspended state.
You come out of the task, and the rest time is less than a day, and the new task is coming again. It is very urgent, and the two tasks are almost colliding together.
This shows that this commission task has been postponed to the point where it cannot be re-betted.
From this point of view, I think the pace of this mission will be very fast.”
Mei Sheng is also an "old clerk". She has been in the store for a long time, although she has only performed three tasks in person.
However, in every mission, the role she plays is very important and plays a great role.
This time the judgment is also very accurate and is also an important content that can be extracted from the current few information.
Ji Li didn't speak after hearing this. In fact, with his personality, choosing plum sounds is far less efficient than choosing a side to speak cautiously.
This man and woman are all the strength of the store manager.
But Fang Shenyan had a mask and worked perfectly with Ji Li many times. Unfortunately, he had some problems now.
Since the matter of Yu Guo mentioned that day, Ji Li discovered that Fang Shenyan seemed to be trapped in a deadlock, and he developed a strong "interest" in Yu Guo.
Of course, it can also be called trouble.
Therefore, since the meeting ended last night, Fang Shenyan left with Ji Li and went to Tiannan Drama Academy.
Although he couldn't find anything, I believe that when he came back, he would get some answers to this confusion.
"The last time the mission of the Spiritual Institution was related to a case, you talked about witnessing a kidnapping last night.
So I judge that our employer should be one of the parties involved this time, maybe the family members of the kidnapped…”
Mei Sheng was driving the car while telling her inferences. She was not a person who liked to talk, but Ji Li was too silent.
In the past, this kind of analysis before the task was conducted by Ji Li, but this time, he only focused on smoking after talking about the kidnapping before getting in the car.
This forced Mei Sheng to speak out and share some of the extracted clues.
Ji Li didn't listen to a word when Mei Sheng said that, the previous cigarette had been extinguished, and the new one had not been lit.
He kept his eyes on the viaduct that was about to leave outside the window and looked at it in vain.
In his eyes, there was a blue-gray child standing on the bridge pier and staring at him with a pair of white eyes.
And beside the ghost boy, Yu Guozheng waved at him with a smile on his face, as if he was saying goodbye to a friend.
Mei Sheng analyzed while driving, but Ji Li didn't say a word, which made her gradually lose interest, so she kept silent.
...
The streets of Chengxianggang are very similar to the road where Gaoyan once lived.
A tightly wrapped military coat, a shiny cotton jacket, a bumpy concrete road, a trolley carrying children, and an elderly person with crutches...
In the cold winter, the old white-haired lady who occupied the road to sell vegetables hugged on the curb, her wrinkles squeezed her eyes and looked at the passing pedestrians.
The middle-aged uncle who was selling meat spitted phlegm on the ground, and a pot of blood was poured into the snow pile, and several children fell on it while playing.
The seven or eight-year-old child with a runny nose lifted up the blood stained on his clothes with his hands and shouted that the uncle who sold the meat would compensate him.
Chaos, poverty, noisy, but real.
The car had long been thrown out of the urban and rural ports. Ji Li was wearing a mask and walking through the figures with a cane.
One bungalow after another does not have a house number, and this area is only a few scattered buildings, just a few hundred meters away in front of it.
Those buildings seem to be rare here. I guess some people who came to the city early and had to buy a house here after many years of hard work.
Although this kind of house is not bought by locals at all.
While walking, Ji Li silently pushed away the congested pedestrians in front of him with a crutch, causing a burst of cursing voices.
Mei Sheng did not wear a mask. She followed Ji Li with a calm expression on her face, not feeling uncomfortable with everything beside her.
It seems that she has become accustomed to these things and has even regained some shadows of childhood.
Coincidentally, the child who had fallen in the snow before was quarreled with the meat-selling uncle and was pushed back and staggered again, and was about to fall in front of Mei Sheng.
She hurriedly reached out and grabbed the child's arm, lifted him up from the ground.
The child raised his head in shock, and his child's eyes flashed with surprise, but this kind of surprise was not unreasonable, because the plum sound was really beautiful.
The child who was still noisy just now immediately put away the excess expression on his face, withdrew his hand restraintly, and kept a distance from Mei Sheng.
"Thank you... Thank you sister..."
Mei Sheng seemed to glance at him coldly, and was about to walk forward without opening his mouth.
The child stood behind him and suddenly asked:
"Sister, you are not from us, are you looking for someone? I can help you."
Beautiful skins are very useful in many cases.
Mei Sheng did not look back, but stared at Ji Li who was looking at her in front, as if she was asking for advice.
But before the two of them could reply, they heard a woman with a harsh voice behind her back and a noise from the children.
"How many times have you told me that I don't run around the streets these days.
I'll tell you what happened on 302 over there?
