Mysterious city

Jiang Zhe couldn't think of how to speak for a moment. No wonder he felt that this girl's voice was so familiar to him on the phone just now, as if he had heard it somewhere.

Look at the long black and smooth ponytail under the brim of the hat, the heroic sword-shaped eyebrows, and the delicate and straight nose. She is the most popular type of beauty who is "sassy and A" at the moment.

Coupled with her healthy and slim figure, it seems that she exercises regularly to maintain a beautiful figure.

The police officer Zhang Nan in front of me, who exudes the aura of a sports girl all over her body, is not the most eye-catching sports beauty in the gym where Jiang Zhe trains!

"Huh? What's wrong, have we met somewhere?"

A hint of curiosity and thinking appeared on Zhang Nan's face, as if he couldn't remember where the two had met.

"You always go to the Tiedong Road Sports Gym in the evening."

Jiang Zhe said, and then realized that this might make the other party misunderstand that he often "peeped" on her, and immediately added: "Well, I often go there in the evening, so I meet you more often and have some impressions."

It's true. Most girls with good figures don't exercise when they go to the gym. Instead, they pose in various poses, take photos, and then post them on major social media to try to catch them.

But Zhang Nan was one of the few who trained carefully, so Jiang Zhe was certainly deeply impressed by her.

"Oh, I did apply for the card there."

"Sorry, I usually go there after get off work. I'm in a hurry and didn't notice you."

Zhang Nan smiled heartily and did not think too much about it as Jiang Zhe feared. Instead, he briefly expressed his apology for not knowing Jiang Zhe.

In fact, her impression of Jiang Zhe was pretty good.

Because she had been exercising in the sports gym for a while, Zhang Nan had long secretly remembered the faces of the men who stared at her every day.

There were even a few who wanted to tease Zhang Nan privately, but after learning the identity of Sheriff Zhang Nan, most of the harassers had given up consciously.

The few who had no self-awareness were all taught a lesson by Zhang Nan and no longer dared to have any illusions about this energetic beauty.

So she had no impression of Jiang Zhe, which was the best impression. This showed that the big boy in front of her was not that frivolous man.

Of course Jiang Zhe didn't take Zhang Nan's ignorance of him to heart. After all, he was still self-aware.

He looked so ordinary from top to bottom, and he was the kind of person who would be picked up by a large number of people.

How could he make Zhang Nan have any deep impression on him?

Fortunately, after a brief exchange between the two, Jiang Zhe found that this matter was much smoother than he had imagined.

"Officer Zhang, I just heard from you that you just received your first case yesterday, which means you have never handled similar cases before, right?"

Jiang Zhe had already thought about how to start the topic. After all, if he wanted to assist the sheriffs in handling the case, he had to know how much the other party knew about the monster-related incidents.

"Yes, since this department has just been established, everything is new and the cases are newly summarized and classified."

"Manpower is also transferred from other departments, including me."

Zhang Nan smiled bitterly and seemed a little puzzled by the Ministry of Public Security's transfer of him.

She had been in charge of criminal cases before. Because of her flexible mind and strong fighting ability, she was promoted to deputy captain at a young age.

In the special security team, her future is bright and everything is developing smoothly.

But for some reason, at this juncture, the superiors suddenly transferred her to this newly established department.

"Well, that means you don't know the monster you are about to face. Oh no, what type of murderer is it?"

Jiang Zhe pondered for a long time and then cautiously tried.

According to the general meaning of Chen Hao's words, the Ministry of Public Security should have a vague understanding of the matter.

But he didn't know if he would scare away the beautiful sheriff in front of him if he opened his mouth rashly.

"What other type could it be? Over and over again, it's still the same group of extremely vicious people."

"It's just that this case is indeed a bit unusual. Maybe that's what 'abnormal' means in the new department, right?"

Zhang Nan shook his head, as if he had just changed positions and had no idea about his current job.

"You mean, the cases taken by the new department look a bit supernatural, right?"

Jiang Zhe's eyes lit up, and he seemed to have found a breakthrough in the topic.

"Well, you could say that."

"But this is not the right place to discuss the case. There are too many eyes and ears. I will tell you the details of the case after we complete the handover."

Zhang Nan immediately stopped Jiang Zhe from continuing to discuss this topic. After all, the case they received was highly confidential and extremely bad.

If ordinary people were to hear about such a case, it would probably cause unnecessary panic and disrupt social order.

But soon, with his innate and powerful "criminal investigation talent", Zhang Nan smelled a hint of "suspiciousness" in Jiang Zhe's words.

"What's wrong Jiang Zhe, it seems you are very curious about the case."

"I've also heard that you are an expert-level consultant in the field of 'supernatural'. Can you tell me what you mean by 'supernatural'?"

Zhang Nan was also curious about Jiang Zhe's identity, but out of politeness, he didn't ask when they first met.

Because the position of consultant requires long-term, large-scale, and in-depth exposure to a certain field.

Most of those who meet the conditions are quite young, at least in their thirties.

And looking at the big boy in front of him, he is only in his mid-twenties and has just left school. How deeply can he study something at this age?

Is it possible that this guy is also an unparalleled genius?

After Jiang Zhe heard Zhang Nan's words, he scratched his head and held it in for a long time, until his face turned red from holding it in before he could say a word.

"Ms. Zhang, do you believe there are ghosts in this world?"

The second Jiang Zhe finished speaking, the distance between the two seemed to widen by one meter, and the atmosphere fell into an unspeakable embarrassment.

"Well, of course it's not a real ghost, it's just a monster similar to a ghost."

"Or rather, a rather strange creature."

Jiang Zhe sighed helplessly. He already knew that Zhang Nan had no idea what the "murderer" she was about to face was.

And strange creatures were the mildest explanation Jiang Zhe could think of.

"Ghost? Monster?"

"Brother, are you kidding me? I'm not a three-year-old child anymore. Where in the world could such a thing exist?"

After a long time, Zhang Nan broke the silence, his tone full of disbelief.
