vine.

The wriggling vines crawled over like snakes, wrapping around Xiaoxia's body, and there were still eyes growing on the leaves of the vine -

Dreaming again, wake up quickly!

Xiao Xia realized this during sleep, which is what Wanli said, and she is prone to accepting psychological hints.

But this time, her brain followed the command of consciousness, and the nightmare ended successfully. She looked up at the window half-closed with the curtains, and the sky told her that it was midnight.

She remembered the case again. It was not that she loved her career and forgot to eat and sleep, but that was really weird.

Regarding Zhang's death, the police's final conclusion was the same as Wang Hua's death - taking overdoses of drugs. The mess around the deceased was all caused by the deceased under the influence of drugs, and the same was true for the eyes they dug out.

But they didn't mention that plant!

It is impossible that it was not noticed. Because a strange grass that is inconsistent with the indoor environment should attract attention when appearing next to the deceased. The police will never ignore it when inspecting the scene. So why was it not mentioned after the case was closed?

Unless - it crawls away by itself!

This thought made Xiao Xia get goose bumps, which is even more terrifying than that nightmare. No, it should be disgusting. Who would have thought that the plants would squirm like snakes? She had seen it with her own eyes. Although she had always suspected that she was dazzled, she couldn't help but think of that scene!

She was responsible for two cases, but both cases ended with the sudden death of the other party. Although the police report stated that this was just a coincidence, she had experienced too many supernatural incidents and could not agree with this statement.

Isn't this related to her? But after coming to the helping office, she was responsible for more than these two cases, four cases, one every week on average, which is why she couldn't bear psychologically. Before, she never knew that there would be so many discord between the closest people in the world!

In the other two cases, one was that the relationship between the two generations showed signs of thawing, which was considered by Xiaoxia as the success of the law and herself; the other was prosecuted and was waiting for the court's judgment, and it is currently in a state of execution.

If strange things happen to the cases she takes over, then why didn’t there be accidents in the other two? Take a step back and say that if there is a case that cannot be settled, there will be accidents. Then the party involved in the case that has been prosecuted is the worst, but he is still safe. How can I explain this?

Gods and ghosts are afraid of evil people? No, it is definitely not the case!

The only explanation is that the two cases that happened were handled by Guan Zheng and her!

Legal litigation is actually a battle for interests. The financial disputes in such cases are even more naked, and the parties are often people who regard the law as nothing, and there is a high possibility of physical conflicts. Therefore, Guan Zheng does not want Xiao Xia to handle the case alone. However, because he is busy, two of the cases are Xiao Xia's assistants who are a male intern in the helping firm.

Is it related to Guan Zheng that the strange ending of this case?

This thought lingers in her heart for a while, but she repeatedly denies it by herself. Guan Zheng is a little paranoid, thinking that if he makes a mistake, he will be punished and he is unwilling to give others the opportunity to regret. He is so strict with others and his requirements for himself. This may be a professional problem that he has been engaged in legal aid affairs for many years, but he is not a bad person.

The deaths of Wang Hua and Zhang are hidden under normal appearances. Guan Zheng is a mortal and cannot do such a mysterious thing.

But - what is that plant? Unfortunately, she was frightened at that time and didn't look at it seriously, otherwise she could have checked it.

Xiao Xia sat on the bed and thought for a while, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt more and more scared. She simply changed her mind and forced herself to fall asleep again.

...

The next day was a rest day, and Wanli made an appointment with her to go out for the Forest Park. Although she wanted Ruan Zhan to go with her and did not get what she wanted, she still decided to take a trip because her recent work made her very depressed.

"Can your driving skills work?" Xiao Xia said with a loss.

Wanli earns a good monthly income, both in a clinic and a school, and occasionally in a paper published. However, he likes traveling so much that he spends almost all the money he earns. In addition, he spent all his savings on that haunted house last time, so he did not have a car to carry. This time he went out to play with him, so he borrowed a car from Ruan Zhan.

"Don't underestimate me, I just don't have the spare money to buy a car, but I have been to Azhan's car for several self-guided tours, and I don't take the more dangerous road conditions seriously, let alone--" he said as he suddenly braked, which scared Xiaoxia.

"What's wrong?" Fortunately, it's out of the city, otherwise a rear-end collision would have to happen.

Wanli thrust out the window, started the car and went to the side of the road, then opened the car door and jumped down.

Xiao Xia looked out the window and saw him running towards an old couple, who were Wang Hua’s parents. They were walking slowly with a lot of things for visiting the graves, and it seemed that they were tired enough.

Seeing this, Xiaoxia got off the car.

The Wang couple came to Wang Hua for five phases. However, the cemetery where Wang Hua was buried was newly built, and the traffic problem has not been solved. Generally, people come by take a taxi or drive by themselves. In order to save money, the old couple took the bus to get off the bus closest to the cemetery, and then transferred to the taxi. Today is quite unlucky, and they waited for an hour in a row. When all the taxis saw that they were going to the cemetery, they refused to take it, so they had to walk slowly forward.

Without saying a word, Wanli and Xiaoxia decided to take the old man to the cemetery first, and then take him back to the bus stop, and then move freely.

The cemetery is not small in size, but the left side has not yet been developed. Only rows of white stone tablets on the right side are rows of white stone tablets. Small shrubs like holly are planted on both sides of each tomb. The cement mark on the stone slabs in front of the tomb is still new. It was still early at this time, and a cleaning worker was driving an electric vehicle to clean the grave.

There were three tombs left from Wang Hua's tomb. A family was worshiping and blocking the road. Xiaoxia and her group had to slowly rub from behind. Xiaoxia accidentally raised her eyes and saw the cleaning worker jumping out of the car. As if she found something, she grabbed it from the bushes next to the tombstone, and pulled out several weeds of different species and threw them into the trash can behind the electric car.

The cleaning worker was very fast, and Xiao Xia didn't see it clearly, but a sudden flash of inspiration in her mind felt that the weed-like plant was the same type as what she saw next to Zhang that day.

"Wait!" She screamed unconsciously, raising her feet to chase after her, but forgot that she was stuck in the crowd, and she was carrying a lot of ingots and tributes in her hand, but she almost fell on the tombstone next to her. Fortunately, Wanli was quick-eyed and hugged her in the waist, which saved her fate of hitting her head on the stone.

After apologizing to the family of the scumbag who was glaring at the glaring family, Xiao Xia found that the cleaning worker had already driven away in an electric car. He thought that maybe he had read it wrong, even if there was a problem with that strange plant, it would not grow here again. The person has been cremated into ashes, and cement is sealed by the stone tomb. What plant has such strong vitality? It is impossible!

"What's wrong with you?" Wanli asked with concern.

Xiao Xia shook her head and tried to put this inexplicable insecurity into her heart, but it still surged in waves, starting with her husband and wife visiting the graves until a week later, she still wandered in her mind.

Are the plants next to the tomb the same type next to Zhang's body? If so, why can it grow through fire and cement sealing? Is it an evil thing? What's the secret behind this?

With this strong question, she finally ran to Zhang's cemetery on the day off a week later. She secretly looked for both sides of the tomb without any notice. The short pine trees were planted here, which had just been watered in the morning, with the fragrance of soil and trees. Xiao Xia almost plunged her head into the bushes, and the scene in front of her shocked her heart.

A strange "weed" grew from the gap in the stone tomb. Because it was still short, it was just a seedling, but it had tenaciously spread its oval leaves.

Xiao Xia's heart was beating violently, as if she was approaching a secret, and was anxious and excited. She put on the gloves she had prepared in advance, reached out to the small plant, and pulled it out suddenly!

The moment she came into contact with the plant, she felt the strange grass move, as if she was biting her hand, which made her so shocked that she let go and threw it on the ground, seeing it withering rapidly in an abnormal way!

She squatted down and decided to pick up its wreck after a long time. This time, it did not move and was quietly put into a clean paper bag by Xiaoxia.

When she got home, she searched for various texts and pictures on the computer. One of the articles caught her attention - poppy is native to Asia Minor, India and Iran. There are a small amount of drug planting in some parts of my country. Poppy is a biennial herb of the Papaver family. The whole plant is pink green, with oblong leaves and grows with stems; it blooms in summer, with single branches, large and gorgeous, with red, purple, white, and blooms upwards. The flowers fall early and form spherical capsules, with small and numerous seeds inside. Traditional Chinese medicine uses poppy shells as medicine, and the prescription is also known as "Yujihusk" or "poppy shells". After "cutting smoke" in summer, harvest the stems and seeds, dry them and stir-fry them in vinegar or bake them honey for later use. The seeds contain 50% oil and can be squeezed.

Poppy shells are flat and sour and astringent, toxic, and contain more than 30 alkaloids such as morphine, codeine, nacotin, papaverine. They are used as analgesic, cough-relieving, and antidiarrhea. They are used for long-term coughing, chest, abdomen, and bones. They are often diarrhea due to long-term dysentery. They are also used for nocturnal sperm and glucosmic symptoms caused by kidney deficiency. There is milk in the poppy fruit, which is cut and dry. It is "opium". It contains 10% alkaloids such as morphine, which can relieve spasms of smooth muscle, especially vascular smooth muscle, and can inhibit myocardial muscles. It is mainly used for angina pectoris, arterial embolism and other symptoms. However, long-term use is easy to become addicted, chronic poisoning, seriously endanger the body, and become what people often call "opium ghost". In severe cases, it will also lead to death due to difficulty breathing.

Therefore, my country has strictly controlled the cultivation of poppy, and except for medicinal scientific research, planting is prohibited. It is illegal and criminal to plant raw plants such as poppy and to buy, sell, transport, carry, and possess uninactivated raw drug raw plants seeds or seedlings. The police will hold the parties involved criminally responsible in accordance with the law.

Turning off the computer, Xiao Xia's heart was not clear, but she became even more confused. If this weird plant was not mistaken by her, it was poppy, it could explain why two people who had no history of drug use would die from overdose.

What made her feel confused was how did it achieve this result? Drugs were also refined, and it was impossible to kill a plant. And how did this poppy reach the dead? Why did it move like a living thing? What is the secret here?

Thinking of this, Xiaoxia hurried to the office.

The property where the firm is located is sold for less than 10%. There are still people living from the first floor to the seventh floor. The above floors are empty and have no popularity at all. It is even more gloomy after the sun sets. Xiao Xia pressed the button on the fifteenth floor and stayed in the elevator a little uneasy.

She had experience of meeting ghosts in the elevator before, so when she stayed in the elevator for a long time, she always felt distressed. Wanli said she was claustrophobic. She didn't understand these psychological terms and just hoped to reach the top floor as soon as possible, for fear of seeing something from the bright metal walls of the elevator.

With a tingling sound, the elevator arrived. She hurriedly lowered her head and walked out, and the elevator door slowly closed behind her.

She turned left habitually and felt a black shadow flashing in front of her, which scared her. When she looked up, she suddenly realized that this place was not the fifteenth floor, but the thirteenth floor!
