The Exorcist

Guan Zheng is dead.

The first person to discover him was Uncle Chai from the Aiding Hands Office, and he was the first to arrive at the office that morning. The doors and windows of the office were locked. When Uncle Chai opened the door with his own key, he found that the light was on in the closed room. When he went in, he was so frightened that he almost had a heart attack on the spot.

Guan Zheng was sitting in front of his desk. He had been dead for a long time, his face was blue and gray, and his face was covered with blood marks from his own scratches. One of his eyeballs fell off and fell on the desk, looking straight at the person who entered the door. The computer has been completely destroyed and no data can be restored. Moreover, he also died of a drug overdose.

The most unexpected thing was: a tortured and killed kitten body was found in his office!

A man who always talked about safeguarding social justice and legal dignity died of drugs and tortured animals before his death. This really made those people who were usually offended by Guan Zheng laugh at him behind his back. Xiaoxia was extremely angry about this. .

Regardless of whether he is extreme or not, his intentions are good and he just wants to help others!

Shortly after Guan Zheng's death, several of the founders of the aid agency decided to send someone else to replace Guan Zheng. But before that person came, Xiaoxia, as the middle-aged force of the firm, had to sort out relevant information, continue to deal with cases, and arrange Guan Zheng's memorial service, so she was very busy. And because the several deaths were so similar that they aroused police suspicion, Xiaoxia also actively assisted the police in the investigation.

The intervention of the police solved Xiaoxia's problem.

Because Guan Zheng wanted her to avenge him, but she knew she couldn't act without permission. Even if she followed his last wish and investigated secretly, Ruan Zhan and Wan Li would not leave her alone. In fact, she will still involve them. In the final analysis, it is not her own business.

So even though Guan Zheng didn't allow her to tell others the suspicious aspects of the matter, she still reported the clues she knew and the contents of the email to the police. Of course, the black cat and the moving poppy were not included, as that would not add more clues, but would reduce the credibility of the information she provided.

Let the competent people investigate this matter! Although she felt a little sorry for Guan Zheng's request, she could only do that.

As for herself, of course she took the opportunity to live with Ruan Zhan, but she was not able to immediately implement her dream plan of "surrounding the city from the countryside" to catch handsome guys, and she didn't even get a chance to talk. She was too busy at this time, so he fell asleep when she went out early in the morning; when she came back tired from outside, he was busy; she fell asleep, and he was still greeting the guests.

They are like night and day, there is no time to merge, but even though they only look at each other and smile for a few seconds, Xiaoxia feels very happy! Besides, she finally had time to finish her work.

"Tomorrow is Guan Zheng's memorial service." Xiao Xia has been free since the morning, so she has been hanging around Ruan Zhan. She is currently lying on the bar watching Ruan Zhan cleaning glasses at the bar.

"Can you finally have a rest?" Ruan Zhan asked with a smile.

Xiaoxia nodded. When she noticed Ruan Zhanxiao for the first time, his eyes were focused and his expression was gentle.

"Will Wanli go with you?"

"Yeah, he said he was going to appear as my boyfriend so that I wouldn't look like a widower!"

"He just likes to study specific people on specific occasions!" Ruan Zhan stopped what he was doing. "When we were young, he would deadlift whatever happened in the town, such as weddings and funerals, childbirth, and other meetings. I ran to have a look. I don’t like crowded places, but he liked it. Then he came back and told me everyone’s reaction to everything, which made me so annoyed that I wanted to kill him. But I think this is his last The main reason why he chose to be a psychiatrist is that he likes to dissect people's thoughts. But my father said that he is so curious that he has to check everything out, sooner or later-"

Ruan Zhan suddenly stopped. Because he found that his usual alienation and wariness towards people completely disappeared when he arrived at Xiaoxia's place, and he even unknowingly told these childhood memories. He never wanted to mention the past, and even if Wan Li recalled it sometimes, he would not talk to her.

Xiaoxia knew that Ruan Zhan was not used to showing his feelings, so he wisely kept silent and did not ask further questions, but changed the topic.

"Um - what do you think about this matter?"

"In this matter, the cat is the key, and of course the wriggling plants are the same. Unfortunately, we know too little to make a conclusion. But as far as I know, some ethnic minorities worship and sacrifice to various creatures , some even use it as a totem, combined with the location Guan Zheng wrote on the computer when he was dying, I think everything here should be inextricably linked to there."

"Would you like to visit the cemeteries of the deceased in other places and confirm again?"

"It's not necessary. Although the seeds of this kind of poppy must have retained the miraculous property of being indestructible by fire and sealed by cement through some kind of magic, you said that they wither as soon as they leave the soil. I think this should be the case. The last growth, demonic and vegetative properties disappeared the moment they left the soil. I have read your information and found that those people had been dead for a long time, and they were cremated and buried in a cemetery or placed in a specific ashes storage location. These places either have regular people to clean them, or they have dedicated people to manage them, and they will pull out foreign objects whenever they see them. If you go there now, you won't find any evidence."

"That's right, this matter has been handed over to the police and it's none of my business!" Xiaoxia forced the haze in her mind to go away and shrugged pretending to be relaxed.

Ruan Zhan was about to speak when the door of the bar opened and the first guest of the night came.

"Azhan, get me something to drink quickly, I'm so thirsty!" The visitor called out sweetly and tenderly, with a very intimate tone, as if he was talking to a relative or - a lover? !

Xiaoxia rolled her eyes, got up and went upstairs without looking back.

This woman's name is Bai Jingjing, which is the same name as the fairy in Westward Journey, and she is equally charming. Recently, she has been pestering Ruan Zhan very closely, and Ruan Zhan seems to treat her differently than others, which makes Xiao Xia particularly dislike her.

But it wasn't this woman who made her get up and leave. She still had this bit of resistance. She just couldn't stand Ruan Zhan smiling at Bai Jingjing, which made her feel that she was no longer special, so she simply ignored him.

This little jealousy didn't let her see it. Although Ruan Zhan showed his signature beautiful smile to Bai Jingjing and seemed to like this woman, deep in his eyes, there was no trace of her. The temperature is only found in the summer.

…………………………

The memorial service was simple and grand, and the procedures were conducted according to the rules. However, not many people came. Except for his former friends, classmates, colleagues, and representatives from various local aid agencies, that is, a major sponsor of the sponsoring group, no one who had been rescued by him was present.

Xiaoxia was sad and angry.

The sad thing is that although she has no special feelings for Guan Zheng, Guan Zheng is very kind to her despite being serious. It is impossible for her to be a colleague without a little affection. What makes me angry is why there are fewer and fewer people with conscience in this world. He helped so many people during his lifetime, but no one still remembers him!

"Death is just the beginning. The unknown heroes will definitely get good treatment there. Don't be unwilling." Wan Li knew the reason for Xiaoxia's moist eyes. He hugged her shoulders and comforted her in a low voice, "Man is doing it, God is doing it. Look!"

"You are a complete idealist." Xiaoxia relaxed a little. She had been nervous throughout the memorial service, always feeling that Guan Zheng's portrait was condemning her. Now that it was finally over, she let out a sigh of relief.

"My faith is my personal experience." Wanli's hand did not leave her shoulder, "Did you ask for leave? Don't you need to rest for a few days?"

"It was not approved. They said that I had to finish some things for the foundation before letting me rest. I will go to Boheng Company to handle things tomorrow." Xiao Xia glanced at the new boss.

The new boss has the same surname as Mr. Pan from Changkong Office, and his last name is "Shan". He is about the same age as Guan Zheng, but looks much older. He seems serious and rigid, and difficult to get along with.

When she looked at Pan Shan, she accidentally met the eyes of the patron who came to attend the memorial service. She quickly smiled politely and nodded. Unexpectedly, the man seemed to have permission and walked towards her.

She subconsciously moved a little closer to Wan Li, which was a bit unnatural. She had never been good at dealing with rich people.

Wan Li sensed her body language of asking for help, gave up Director Pan's idea of ​​exchanging pleasantries, and stayed by Xiao Xia's side.

"Hello, I am Huang Boheng from Boheng Group." He handed Xiaoxia a business card in an elegant gesture, and Xiaoxia hurriedly took it with both hands.

It turns out that he is the boss of Boheng Group!

Xiaoxia thought as she introduced herself, she didn't expect that the boss of such a large consortium was actually about the same age as Guan Zheng. Young, elegant-looking, without the vulgarity of the nouveau riche, he looks a bit like an educated scholar. But Xiaoxia had worked for him, and she knew from the employees that his fortune was quite legendary, and he should be one of those who got rich overnight.

"My name is Wan Li, and I am her boyfriend." Wan Li introduced himself in his ears. Then she felt her waist tighten, and her body was pulled into his arms by Wan Lisheng, causing her to giggle in response.

"Miss Yue—" Huang Boheng smiled gracefully, "I heard from Director Pan that some of our company's legal business in City A was handled by Miss Yue a few days ago. I haven't had the chance to thank you yet."

"In other words, I am paid, and you gave me the opportunity."

"However, this memorial service was also very generous and decent. It is obvious that Miss Yue is a very capable and outstanding person. There is no need to be modest. I will come to poach you one day. Come and work at my place." Huang Boheng said while looking at Xiaoxia and asked her Feeling a little uncomfortable.

She faltered a few words, but fortunately Wan Li took over the conversation and continued to be polite with Huang Boheng, but his arms always held Xiao Xia's waist as if he were declaring sovereignty.

"Ms. Yue's face looks bad." Before a few words, Huang Boheng brought the topic to Xiaoxia again.

"She is tired. She will be fine if she goes home early and rests."

"Miss Yue is so lucky to have such a considerate boyfriend." Huang Boheng still smiled, but Xiaoxia keenly felt that his eyes were a little unhappy, "Originally, I wanted to talk to you about the fund mobilization issue. In this case, you can go directly to me tomorrow. Just ask me, I won’t say much today.”

"Goodbye, Mr. Huang." Wan Li answered first again, then simply said goodbye to those who had not yet left, and hugged Xiao Xia out.

"You make me feel like a coward!" Xiaoxia slapped the hand that was still on her waist.

"I'm telling that person named Huang that you have an owner." Wan Li looked back, "Sometimes body language is more convincing."

"You're talking nonsense again!"

"You are really insensitive when it comes to treating men!" Wan Li said, "Didn't you see it? He is interested in you. Mr. Wang Sun has such a bad conscience that he actually picked up girls at a funeral."

"It's a memorial service."

"It's not the same. Why are you pursuing these details? Are you going to his company tomorrow?" After getting Xiaoxia's affirmative reply, Wan Li said, "I'll go with you tomorrow - no, I have class tomorrow, otherwise I'll call Ah I’ll stay with you.”

"Is it useful?" Xiao Xia laughed at Wanli's fuss, "If he harasses me, I will sue him! Don't worry, I'm such an adult and I still have to deal with the situation. At most, I won't drink any drink he gave me. Are you cautious enough to keep your distance from him? Besides, he talks nonsense when he sees a woman. Maybe it’s just a habit. It’s not that he’s attracted to me, it’s because you’re neurotic. Although he seems uncomfortable, he’s not vicious. Looks like nothing will happen!"

"Let's ask Azhan. If it doesn't work, you can go alone." Somehow, Wan Li relied on a man's instinct to realize that Huang Boheng was deeply interested in Xiaoxia, which made him a little uneasy.

Xiaoxia looks very strong, and sometimes even shows off her teeth and claws, but in fact she is a little white rabbit, the type that can easily be picked up by unknown creatures. Although this kind of personality is more likable, it is not as safe as the kind of woman who pretends to be a white rabbit but is actually a big bad wolf.

"You're too nervous."

"If I care, it will lead to chaos." Wan Li grabbed Xiaoxia and looked him up and down, "I really don't know what's so good about this girl like you, but you still robbed me of it!"

The two of them were fighting and joking together, making Xiaoxia temporarily forget the psychological pressure caused by Guan Zheng's death. But when he got home and asked, Ruan Zhan said that he was not free the next day, so Xiaoxia had to decide to go by himself.

Xiaoxia didn't think anything would happen to her, but she was still disappointed that Ruan Zhan couldn't accompany her.

…………………………

"How is it?" Huang Boheng was sitting in the study room of his luxurious villa, giving orders to a man in front of him.

"She lives on the second floor of a bar called 'Yeguiren'."

"Living with a man?"

"The owner of the bar was a man and she lived with him."

"Which one, the bar owner or the man named Wan, is her lover?"

"This - it's only been one night, I -"

"Go check it again!" Huang Boheng scolded.

The man quickly backed away.

Huang Boheng snorted coldly and sank deeper into the sofa, remembering Xiao Xia's appearance again.

"I will definitely get the woman I like, and everyone who gets in the way will die!" He said to himself with determination, but at the same time he was a little confused.

It was just their first meeting. Why did he like that woman named Yue so much? Although she is beautiful and cute, she is no better than his mistresses. Why would he want to get her so strongly? It seems that something is growing in my heart, and at the same time there is a cat's paw scratching desperately!
