Chapter 14: Night Visit

The result of the negotiations made me extremely angry. I had flown all the way to the hotel to talk about the matter.

The reply I got was something like this: I was in charge of the operation, I could call my friends to help me, the department would pay them, and I could also apply for “weapons,” and the department would try to make things as convenient as possible for me.

If the situation is serious, the department will escalate the operation depending on the situation.

I really wanted to ask, “How serious does it have to be before you escalate the operation?”

In the end, they laughed and hung up on me.

I sat on the bed, grinding my teeth, thinking that they were going to keep pestering me, right? They said that they would let me call my friends to join the operation. Who doesn’t understand that they are hinting that I can ask my friends in my own circle for help? What about compensation and weapons? They are all nonsense. Who cares about that little money? And if the matter is supernatural, what use is it for me to ask for weapons?

Special weapons are available, but the problem is that they belong to my master’s department, not yours.

As for the last sentence about the upgrade operation, it’s pure nonsense, as if it was never said.

Facing my atmosphere, Zhao Hong did not think so, and I don’t know what kind of nerves he had, doing push-ups in the hotel. Is this life and movement?

Perhaps it was Zhao Hong’s ‘heroic’ figure doing push-ups that stimulated Hui Gen’er. The little psychopath took off his shirt and wandered around the room, stopping from time to time next to Zhao Hong to compare his biceps.

I felt powerless and didn’t bother to pay attention to the two people in the room who were acting like lunatics. I was thinking about what to do when my phone rang.

I picked up the phone and heard pure Mandarin on the other end: “Brother.”

In this world, there are only two people who can call me brother, one is Huigen, and the other is Sun Qiang.

Over the years, Sun Qiang’s local accent has long since disappeared. He is busy, busy with many things. We often contact each other, but he doesn’t have time to participate in my life. But this does not affect my feelings for him, and the intimacy between us to know what is happening around us.

“Qiangzi, why are you calling me?” I was still happy to hear Sun Qiang’s voice. After the death of Sun Lao, the art of corpse-driving was inherited by this kid. Perhaps the scene from that year was too tragic, which inspired some kind of emotion in him. In a way, this kid should be considered the first corpse-driver of the younger generation.

Moreover, the heroism of Old Sun Tou has touched so many people that this kid has been noticed by a great sorcerer in the department. All these years, he has been so busy studying sorcery.

“Brother, my master said that my days of studying should come to an end, and that I should come out and see the world. For so many years, I have lived a life of ‘isolation from the world’. I thought about it and thought about it, but I didn’t know where to go. I came out to follow you?” Sun Qiang was quite straightforward with me.

I once told Sun Qiang that from now on, you are my brother, and for so many years, I have always treated him this way, so he naturally doesn’t need to beat around the bush with me.

I was silent, carefully considering the feasibility of this matter. After a while, I said to Sun Qiang, “Qiangzi, I’m doing something relatively dangerous right now. You go to XX City first and find Su Rou, or go to Beijing and find Qin Huai. Do you know how to contact them? After I finish this matter, I’ll come find you.”

Sun Qiang was straightforward and agreed directly. He was no stranger to Su Rou and Qin Huai. In particular, Qin Huai had stayed in the deserted village with him. Before I had finished talking, Hui Gen had already rushed over to grab my phone and said loudly, “Brother Qiang, this is Hui Gen. I’m telling you, I’m a handsome guy now…”

I think Sun Qiang was sweating profusely when he heard this, and he couldn’t help but smile unkindly.

Zhao Hong was very dissatisfied with my arrangement. Why did I choose to go out in the middle of the night to the scene of the murder?

I didn’t bother to explain to Zhao Hong. During the day, when the yang energy is strong, you can’t see anything. At night, I guess something ‘strange and weird’ will happen, but I can’t say this either. I’m afraid I’ll scare the kid Zhao Hong.

The dead couple must have been rich people. They didn’t live in the city, but in a villa in the mountains.

It was already late at night, and the road up the mountain was quiet. In this hot summer, the wind blowing was surprisingly cool.

The three of us were quiet and didn’t say anything. We always felt that we were getting closer to the murder scene on the data, and walking on this road made us feel a little depressed, so we didn’t feel like talking.

We couldn’t enter through the front door. First, because the security guards at this upscale residential area are always serious, and it would be more troublesome to enter through the regular route. Second, the most important point is to avoid alerting the suspects and letting the forces behind know that we have never given up on this case.

The above intention made us choose to keep a low profile.

The walls of this villa area are really high, and the roads around it are difficult to walk on, but for the three of us, it’s not difficult at all. After all, these days, which circle of people is not a martial artist? As for Zhao Hong, the 007, there’s no need to worry about him.

After successfully climbing over the wall, we entered the villa area. Zhao Hong straightened his back and said to us as he walked, “Act naturally. Don’t climb over the wall. If you do, you’ll be hunched over like a thief. That kind of behavior is like writing “I’m a thief” on your face.

My face and Hui Gen’er’s flushed. Aren’t we the typical thieves, crouching like thieves? We quickly straightened our backs and walked like we were taking a stroll, whispering, “Hurry up and lead the way. Saying these things makes it seem like you’re a professional thief.”

“I’m an agent!” Zhao Hong said with clenched teeth, and then he insulted me again: “I didn’t think you could climb over the wall. Did you use all your strength?”

This kid has always looked down on me, so I snorted and stopped arguing with him, because a pair of security guards were patrolling not far away.

Perhaps Zhao Hong had personally been to the scene of the crime, and he led us around the twists and turns, mostly in secluded places, and soon arrived at the so-called scene of the crime.

This area of the crime scene is almost the quietest and darkest part of the entire villa area. If it weren’t for the faint moonlight, it would be almost impossible to see the road. Hui Gen wanted to take out a flashlight, but Zhao Hong stopped him.

“You see, the security guards don’t even patrol this area. If you take out a flashlight, you’re just a beacon in the sea.” The kid looked very professional, and Huigen was dumbfounded. He let out a sound and put away the flashlight.

After I got used to the darkness, I started to take a look at the area by moonlight. Since this is a wealthy area, there is a certain distance between the buildings. There are five villas in this area, all of which are dark and empty, with no signs of habitation.

Think about it, after such a tragic and bloody murder, who would dare to live nearby? People who can afford to buy a villa don’t necessarily care about living here. In fact, I observed that the villas in this area are all for sale.

This made me understand, but I couldn’t judge the specific situation, so I asked Zhao Hong in a low voice, “Which one is it?”

Zhao Hong whispered to me, “That one, the middle one. You go first!”

“Why?” You’re James Bond, why do you have to walk in front of me?

“Because if it’s haunted, you’re the expert.” Zhao Hong didn’t blush at all, but when we were arguing, Hui Gen had already walked ahead.

I felt a little cold when I got close to the villa. Through the ornate, but already rusty, gate, I saw the whole yard in a desolate state, and it seemed that there was a faint smell of blood in the air.

Standing outside, I couldn’t see anything. I didn’t even think about it before I climbed over the wall. Zhao Hong grabbed me and said, “What? You want to go in? I thought you were just looking at the terrain at night!”

I looked at Zhao Hong with a smile and said, “Are you looking for an excuse not to go in? Are you afraid?”

“Am I afraid?!” Zhao Hong said with a straight neck, extremely unconvinced, and then he actually took the lead in climbing over the wall.

I felt funny and said to Huigen, “Let’s go in a minute later and scare this kid!”

But as soon as I finished speaking, I heard Zhao Hong scream inside, “Mom!” Because of the tension and fear, his voice had become shrill and tremulous!

Is this a ghost? I and Huigen looked at each other, almost without thinking, and jumped onto the wall and over!
