Scarlet Falls

I have to say that it is quite comfortable to be on duty in the guard hall.

The Guard's Office has always been very polite to the occult experts of the Foundation, and has been provided with special funds from above. Coupled with the awe of ordinary people for mysterious events, they have always been very polite and enthusiastic towards these captains who come on duty. Attitude.

But the problem is that it's boring.

Sitting in the Security Bureau, the work that needs to be done can be said to be a lot or a little.

Usually when you come early in the morning, you will get a stack of information. These are all cases from the previous day. These experts need to review and screen them. If there are any abnormalities, you need to make a timely judgment to see whether to investigate in depth or Direct intervention.

In addition, they must be sensitive enough to alert or report to the base any immediate cases that occur that day.

...Of course, the above are just the rules of the foundation.

In actual operations, it cannot be said that everyone often violates the rules, it is simply that no one follows the rules.

Who has the patience to stare at these things every day?

A city with a population of one million may be said to be more or less, but it has countless trivialities.

For immediate crises, usually after the security department receives a report, the front-line police officers will directly report it to the occult experts if they feel there is a problem, and then let them judge, but basically they rarely receive such reports. When it comes to cases, unless nothing unexpected happens, everyone just sits in this consulting room all day long, drinking tea and reading newspapers, and going out for a walk when nothing happens.

This is already a scrap iron city with a very good attendance system.

In a place like Jinshan City, who would dare to let them come on duty?

…

…

Because Captain Ouyang and the others are all on business trips, Sister Lucky usually skips work whenever she can, and Brother Piggy, in addition to the base and the vegetable market, they have recently added a pig farm owned by Yuan Guaizi, and other places. Go as little as possible.

In addition, Ye Feifei had recently taken leave, so Wei Wei was the only one on duty during this period.

Every day, I sit in the consulting room, take the newspaper, and look for the "Daily Humor" section.

However, after watching it for a few days, Wei Wei began to get tired of it and felt that these daily humors were not as humorous as his own.

So he was bored and discovered new interesting events.

Obituary section.

In the era of spiritual barriers, due to the migration and the establishment of new cities in the previous thirty years, many former neighbors, relatives and friends were separated. In addition, because of the inconvenience of communication in the era of spiritual barriers, the publication of obituaries also became popular. In addition, Today's newspapers are so bold that they publish all kinds of bizarre deaths and murders in order to increase circulation and attract attention.

Therefore, seeing various people die due to various incidents in the obituary section every day became Wei Wei's favorite.

Some died of old age, illness, accidents, some died of passion in the bed of their mistresses, some were frightened to death by the sleepwalking head of the household while stealing things and then demanded compensation. On his deathbed, a romantic old man published a newspaper to summon his illegitimate son. Taking away his son's inheritance...

...There is nothing I can do. The one I have raised for more than 20 years is not my own. It is possible that the one raised outside is.

Wei Wei was having fun every day, spending the day reading all kinds of obituaries.

The people in the security office now have good comments about him: This young man is really good, he doesn’t skip work and he doesn’t tease the new policewoman.

Every day after taking care of myself, I would just sit in the consulting room and read the newspaper.

However, after watching it for a few days, Wei Wei gradually felt a little strange, so he called Inspector Zhou to ask:

"Is there an economic crisis in Scrap Iron City recently?"

"..."

Inspector Zhou was stunned: "No, it's just right..."

"The experience and development here in Fangcheng, the third city, has been advancing, and I heard that the Ye Group is planning to develop here. How much hot money has been invested, there are projects promoted every day, and how many people have made a lot of money, even the money I collected Richer than before..."

"..."

Wei Wei was startled for a moment: "Are you so magnanimous?"

Detective Zhou blinked and said, "Don't you have rules? I can't keep this kind of thing from you, right?"

Wei Wei was surprised: "Who said that?"

Inspector Zhou said: "Ouyang, he even took a copy!"

He said mysteriously and clearly: "Would you like to have one too?"

"..."

Wei Wei was shocked. Have you already corrupted Foundation officials so blatantly?

Captain Ouyang was led astray by you, right?

How can I, a law-abiding person like me who never engages in crooked ways, accept your money?

"He is a simple young man."

Seeing how surprised Wei Wei was, Inspector Zhou knew that he definitely had no need for this.

I can't help but think of the comments in Wei Wei's files: Excellent in both character and learning, kind and shy, conscientious and meticulous, civilized and disciplined...

I didn’t expect Ouyang to have such simple soldiers under his command!

But this is not good. You are so upright, how can we cooperate with you in the future?

He sighed in his heart and asked quickly: "What did you just ask about?"

"That's it..."

Wei Wei hurriedly pulled out a bunch of newspapers, which he had read in the past few days, and said, "I feel like there are so many people committing suicide in the surrounding cities recently? Look at this, the big tycoon in Jinshan City's newspaper industry jumped off the building The owner of the Machinery Factory in Screw City committed suicide by swallowing a gun. The rich man in White Lead City swallowed ten special medicines and committed suicide on the bed of his mistress after a night of indulgence..."

"There are all kinds of things, more than a dozen of them died, and some of them were very creative..."

"..."

Wei Wei smiled and said: "That's why I was thinking, are all these rich people going bankrupt during this time?"

"So this is it."

Inspector Zhou took the newspaper, read it carefully, and said doubtfully: "It's nothing special, right? It's not just about Scrap Iron City, there are people from several surrounding cities, and there are more than a dozen people from the fourth district. There must be at least 50 to 60 million people in the city. How many people are born, old, sick and die every day? It seems that these people are concentrated in a period of time and commit suicide. It doesn't seem to be very special..."

Suddenly, I saw one of the obituaries, pointed my finger and said: "Especially this one, from Scrap Iron City, one of the big bosses behind the mine. At that time, he drank more than ten kilograms of crude oil and committed suicide. I was told I went to investigate and found that many people thought he was murdered, but after careful exploration, I found that he indeed forced himself to drink so much crude oil..."

As he spoke, he looked up and found that Wei Wei was looking at him suspiciously, and hurriedly explained: "It's not just me."

"Lao Qiang was there at the time. He followed me and took a look, and told me that there were no disharmonious factors."

"..."

"Have you even seen Uncle Gun?"

The surprise in Wei Wei's heart did not lessen, but actually increased.

Uncle Gun is a law-based demon. He has very keen intuition when detecting some incidents. They can detect some discordant factors. For example, if it is artificially disguised as a suicide scene, they will definitely be able to detect the flaws in it.

Even if the other party used the influence of some demonic power to cause these people to commit suicide, it would be difficult to escape their intuition.

So, the other party really committed suicide?

But if so many people just happen to commit suicide...

…It’s too disappointing.

When Inspector Zhou saw Wei Wei's frown, he couldn't help but sigh: He is so responsible...

Usually everyone thinks that he reads newspapers every day for fun, but it turns out that he has been looking for clues in all kinds of information.

In particular, you can find even the smallest problems in obituaries. How carefully does this newspaper read?

Just seeing Wei Wei frowning like this made him a little nervous.

It's time to collect money, and it's time to do things, but if there are mysterious things happening in the city, then he will be afraid.

"Inspector..."

At this moment, someone outside suddenly came over nervously.

Inspector Zhou was startled: "What's wrong?"

The other party was also startled and said hurriedly:

"It's Boss Xiong of Feng's Drug Store in Dongcheng. He was found during lunch break today. He was stabbed three or four times in the stomach and passed out in the office. He is now being sent to the hospital for rescue. His family members reported the case. Click I clearly want you to go and check..."

"..."

"Old Bear?"

Inspector Zhou was also shocked: "Is it so serious? Who did it?"

"That's the problem……"

The person who reported the report was a bit embarrassed: "No matter how you look at it now, he seems to have committed suicide..."

"suicide?"

If it was fine in normal times, now that Inspector Zhou heard these two words, his eyes suddenly widened and he turned to look at Wei Wei blankly.

Wei Wei almost laughed out loud, so he hurriedly held it back and said seriously: "I'll go over with you and take a look!"

The Security Bureau immediately left the cave, and did not go directly to the first scene of the crime. Instead, Inspector Zhou directly accompanied the mysterious incident expert and rushed straight to the hospital where Boss Xiong was. Moreover, Inspector Zhou was clearly present. The enemy not only immediately investigated a large number of police officers, but even the director of security was alarmed. He slapped the table and shouted: "Damn Ouyang, didn't he say that Scrap Iron City is fine?"

When a large number of police cars arrived at the hospital, the Xiong family were moved.

"The money I usually give to Inspector Zhou is not in vain. As soon as I heard something happened to my father, I immediately sent so many people to protect him."

"..."

However, in response to the Xiong family's enthusiasm, Inspector Zhou righteously ordered them to get out of the way for the first time.

Many police officers opened the way and surrounded Wei Wei all the way to the ward.

But before he arrived at the emergency room and saw Lao Xiong himself being rescued, Wei Wei suddenly stopped.

As soon as he stopped, all the police officers in the entire corridor also stopped.

Seeing Wei Wei's expression gradually become serious, their expressions also became serious.

Detective Zhou's lips trembled: "Is there... any problem?"

"Um!"

Wei Wei nodded slightly.

Inspector Zhou became even more furious: "Then this question..."

"Very serious!"

Wei Wei's face was more serious than ever before, and he gave an affirmative answer.

Because right in front, outside the rescue operating room, among the family members or senior figures of the group who were waiting outside the ward door, he saw Ye Feifei, who was also mixed in with the crowd at this time, and was also worried about waiting for the rescue. the result of.

The goddess appeared here under the arrangement of fate, how could things be so small?
