Time always makes people more or less mature. Just like me, if someone used to slap the table and scold me in front of me without even listening to their explanations, I would definitely get angry right away. But this time I am very calm and give

I poured myself another cup of tea and drank it slowly. I understood clearly what Zhao Hong said. It was not the key at all. The key was the middle-aged man.

He looked at me for a long time before saying: "Chen Chengyi, logically speaking, we really have no reason to force you, because you do not belong to our department, and you are only a filing officer in that department. You have the right to refuse. Of course.

, we can also use certain powers, but if you don’t do your best, no one can do anything to you, right?"

I remained silent. When you don't know what medicine others are selling, it's better to say less.

Sure enough, the middle-aged man did not mean to give up when he said this, but continued: "Chen Chengyi, we will not investigate you, let alone threaten you. It is stupid to threaten a cultivator, let alone your master,

Your lineage has made contributions to the country, and we can't do this. I just express one idea, I don't care why you make money. If I say, this case won't delay you much time, give me a chance to make money.

Will you do it or not?”

"What do you mean?" I raised my eyebrows slightly. To be honest, I felt guilty about rejecting this matter in my heart. No matter who it is, if conditions permit, they can do something positive for society, and they will definitely be willing to do so.

, so the middle-aged man said this, and I was tempted.

Zhao Hong snorted, obviously he already had a bad impression of me, but I was too lazy to explain, so I just listened to the middle-aged man continue talking.

"Let's put it this way, in terms of connections, you cultivators who are active among the people are definitely not as good as the formal departments. With us standing behind you to help you make a few orders, whether it is price or trust, it is different.

Right? In fact, the Chinese overseas, or those in Hong Kong or somewhere, who have reached a certain level of wealth, still have a lot of contacts with departments, what do you think?" There are some things that cannot be said clearly, what the middle-aged man said

Very obscure.

But I still understood what he meant, and I smiled and said, "If I cooperate with you this time, will you introduce business to me?"

"Yes, introduce business! You can collect money legitimately in the name of the department, as long as you solve the problem, what do you think?" The middle-aged man also smiled, with a smile like a fox.

"Why did you come to me?" I asked, holding my chin, but I still didn't rush to agree, because it was quite strange that you came to me.

"Haha, you fought two battles in the ghost market. Do you think there is no news? I think among the younger generation, you can be said to be the one with the most advanced methods. And who in the lineage of Lao Li doesn't know that the secret method is excellent?

What's more, you and your master have participated in several actions that are not small, and you can say that you have rich experience. If you want to find the younger generation, who else can you look for?" The middle-aged man said, with a very good reason.

But I was still slightly shocked. The impact of the two wars in Ghost City was so great? Did even people in the secret department know about it? I just thought at the time that I couldn't lose the face of our family, but I am still relatively withdrawn at heart.

', I hate bustling and like a plain and quiet life, so it seems that I will have to keep a low profile in the future.

I thought so, but the reason the middle-aged man gave me was still not enough. I asked with a smile: "Even so, who among the older generation is not better than me? Besides, they are in the department, so it is natural for you to cooperate.

Your reasons are not enough!”

"What a little fox." The middle-aged man shook his head and laughed.

"Hey, I was tricked a lot by my master when I was young. Later, I realized that I was troubled by everything. I didn't dare to be careless." I took a sip of tea and said calmly.

"Forget it, I won't be merciful. This is still related to the case we want to cooperate with, because this case vaguely involves some international forces behind the scenes, as well as some underground and dark cultivator forces in the country.

You know, in fact, a country cannot be everywhere

Clean, in some aspects, you have to maintain a delicate balance in order to gain strength, and then strike hard to extinguish something in one fell swoop, you know?" This middle-aged man is worthy of being an official, and he doesn't beat around the bush.

, the words are still roundabout and contain too much political wisdom.

However, of course I understood the meaning, and I said: "So, it's hard for the department to come forward, right? Especially the department where my master works! After all, it's not time to break up, we still have to maintain 'peace', at least

Don’t interfere with people’s lives, right? So, I guessed it right, this Zhao Hong is also a new face, right?”

"Yes, that's what I mean." The middle-aged man gave me an appreciative look, and then said to me: "Zhao Hong is a newcomer to the department. He has no skills in close combat, firearms, driving, or even computer networking.

He has no clue and has certain investigative abilities. He is a talented person and the most suitable candidate for this mission."

"As for me, at least people in my circle know that I am not working for the country and do not belong to that department, right? Because people in the department will not participate in the ghost market. Even if they did, they would not dare to keep a high profile, let alone act like someone.

I have fought like this twice. With all these efforts to save face, this case is a private matter between Zhao Hong and me, right?" I said with a smile.

The middle-aged man smiled, said nothing, tapped his hand on his thigh, took the briefcase, took out a stack of documents, and said, "Let's read the documents."

He was quite forceful, and what he meant by handing over the information was that the matter was settled!

But I finally accepted the information handed over by Zhao Hong, and while sighing that I was taking on another responsibility, I thought that if it wasn't a matter of righteousness, I might regret it.

However, this is just self-comfort, there is no room for me to regret it?

There was a lot of information, and it was difficult for me to read it carefully. I just flipped through it casually. But from the moment I saw the first photo, my brows furrowed. The person who died in the first photo was a woman, and her face was distorted to a terrifying degree.

The cause of death mentioned below is 'myocardial infarction'.

The second photo is of a man being killed. The body may not be called a body anymore, because it was suddenly crushed by a heavy object from a high altitude. You can imagine how terrifying that body must be. The cause of death was of course an accident.

The third one, the fourth one

There were all kinds of coincidences and suicides. In the next picture, a so-called murder finally appeared. A woman was in a pool of blood. I don’t know how many times she had been chopped by multiple knives. Her face and body were too horrible to look at. The blood was almost

It was bleeding all over the floor, and next to her was a man, who was also lying in a pool of blood. The number of cuts on his body was no less than that of the woman, and some of the cuts were so exaggerated that it looked like he was missing some flesh.

I endured the discomfort in my heart, pointed to the lump next to the photo, and asked, "What is this?"

"This is a piece of meat. The ingredients of these pieces of meat include general muscle tissue, half a tongue, and a trampled eyeball." This time it was Zhao Hong who answered me.

"So cruel?" I haven't had time to read the investigation results of this case.

Of course, this is the so-called investigation result!

"This is not cruelty. Do you know this case? This woman was hacked to death by this man, more than seventy times, and she was almost chopped into a rag doll! But do you think this is cold-blooded cruelty? No.

!In fact, this man committed suicide after chopping up the woman, but have you ever seen someone commit suicide like this? Instead of killing himself quickly, he tortured himself crazily until death. You don’t have to doubt that those pieces of meat,

Including his eyeballs and tongue, they all belong to that man." Zhao Hong explained to me.

I took a deep breath. I was afraid that this was beyond the scope of normal human behavior. I put down the information and began to think deeply.

"What is the key point? This couple is very loving. We visited and investigated afterwards and found that there was no cheating between them. The discord between the couple occurred. It was true love, not a face-saving thing!"

You don't even have a motive for killing, did you suddenly go crazy? I think you are a Taoist priest and you know better than me." Zhao Hong looked at me and said seriously.

"There is a very small possibility of going crazy suddenly! However, a madman is not a person without pain, and pain is an instinctive self-protection!" I said simply.

"Yes, that's it." Zhao Hong said: "You know? The scene photos of this case are absolutely top secret. Such a cruel death method and the truth will scare the surrounding people. Fortunately, the reporter only saw the full body of people.

The blood on the ground flowed out from the crack of the door and I reported it to the police, but what?"

Having said this, Zhao Hong paused for a moment and then continued: "However, this crime scene scared a young policeman to tears, and scared an old policeman with more than ten years of work experience to receive psychological counseling for a long time. At that time, this crime scene

The case is handled as an ordinary criminal case."

"What's so special?" I believed what Zhao Hong said, but I knew that there was a follow-up to this case, and these materials were collected and sorted together, so they must be related, but I couldn't figure out what would happen.
