Chapter 2 The Weird Hound

"Dead?" Jiang Ci repeated his last sentence, and then asked: "What is the cause of death? Cancer?"

This time it was Sun Zi, the female policewoman next to Lin Lin, who answered. She first glanced at Jiang Ci's face, and then averted her eyes.Although she has dealt with Jiang Ci several times, no matter how many times she has been in contact with her, she is still not immune to this level of beauty.

"Yes, cancer, cancer of the esophagus."

"Because a cult was involved in this matter, we investigated more carefully. The man's name is Zhao Zhiqiang, who lives in a remote village called Suiyuan Village under Yun City. He is seventy-five years old this year. We have no information about his medical treatment too long agoIt was found out, but a few years ago, he had a medical examination record that proved that he had esophageal cancer, which was already severe at that time."

"Another strange thing is that after he found out that he had esophageal cancer, he didn't go to the hospital for treatment, but went home directly, until the day Li Ping went to look for him, he died."

Jiang Ci felt that it was abnormal. Although he did not study medicine, based on his basic knowledge, he also knew that it was impossible for a person with severe esophageal cancer to live so long without taking medicine or chemotherapy.

"Is there any more?"

Sun Zi continued: "We interviewed the villagers in that village, and they all said that they were not sure whether Zhao Zhiqiang had enshrined any strange things. They only knew that he was always sick, and he always drank porridge when he ate, because he said he couldn't swallow dry rice.At the same time, I also expressed my surprise that he can live so long."

"In addition, there is another thing that is said to be a coincidence but I don't know if it is a coincidence. They said that on the day Zhao Zhiqiang died, there were some finger-sized flying insects inexplicably in their village, and Zhao Zhiqiang's yardAnd the mourning bird is calling."

"When Li Ping went down to look for him, she bumped into a mourning bird with black wings and red eyes as soon as she entered Zhao Zhiqiang's yard."

"The villagers who witnessed this incident said this-Li Ping stared blankly at the bird for a long time, finally nodded, then looked at Zhao Zhiqiang's body for a while, then turned and left, saying nothing.Did not say."

"Then she returned to Yun City, first went to the hospital to see her husband, and then found you when she came out, and you will know the rest."

After Sun Zi finished speaking, she also drank the sour plum soup in the cup in one gulp, and sat quietly.

Jiang Ci fell into deep thought, and unconsciously pinched the soft stamens of the daisy with his fingers.

The two people sitting across from him were all staring, their eyes fixed on his hands. The slender, white fingers and the flowers together had a special sense of beauty, which was eye-catching.

When Jiang Ci came back to his senses, he saw the dignified expressions of the two people in front of him, but he suddenly laughed, his brows and eyes were curved, and his perfectly shaped lips with their own lip color were slightly raised, looking very moving.

"What? Do you think she was bewitched? Or did she see something she shouldn't have seen?"

The beauty's smile stunned both Lin Lin and Sun Zi. Lin Lin's boyish heart began to thump wildly, and Sun Zi also tried hard to calm down her heartbeat that suddenly started to explode.

"It's not bewitched...but it's also... well, it's hard to say."

"Boss Jiang, during this time, if you see anything strange, no matter what it is, how weird it is, you must not touch it or look at it. It is best to stay as far away as possible."

Lin Lin's brain short-circuited for a long time, and finally he could only utter a few vague words.

"how?"

"This matter has been taken over by other departments, and we don't know much about it. Anyway, the less we know, the better."

Jiang Ci nodded, he was not someone who liked to commit suicide, "I know, I will pay attention."

The policeman was also busy. After finishing speaking, Lin Lin and Sun Zi stood up and said goodbye to him, then turned and left.

After leaving the door, Sun Zi immediately gave Lin Lin an elbow, and said disgustedly: "Seeing how promising you are, you don't dare to say anything."

"Dare you say it?"

"You dare not say."

"Then you're still talking about me? You're worthless."

Jiang Ci just looked at the little gestures of the two people who disliked each other, and laughed dumbfounded, which was quite cute.

Lin Lin and Sun Zi only came to Yun City last year to work as policemen. They are very young and full of vitality.Because I have not been out of school for a long time, I have a strong sense of responsibility and are full of enthusiasm for my work.

Today is not a weekend, nor a holiday. In the afternoon, the business of the flower shop is average, only a few scattered elementary school students who leave school early pass by and buy a few pots of cute succulents.

Jiang Ci stayed at the shop and had nothing to do. By the way, he checked the information of the mourning bird on the Internet, and found out all kinds of information. Some said it belonged to an owl, and some said it belonged to a cuckoo. But it seems that the image of a cuckoo is more suitable for Sun Zi.description of.

The combination of black feathers and bright red eyes is so ominous, and the cry is extremely shrill, no wonder it is called the mourning bird.

"There really are mourning birds, but... is it really a coincidence?"

After thinking about it for a long time, Jiang Ci wrote down keywords such as mourning birds, black bugs, cancer, 'silver' doctors, and hospitals in the notes, and then went out.

He first went to the next door to tell Aunt Chen, asking her to look after the store, and he went to the pharmacy opposite to buy some medicine, and he would be back in a while.

Aunt Chen agreed immediately, telling him to go directly, and calling him when someone came.

Although the pharmacy is on the opposite side, there is no sidewalk here, so you have to walk up and cross the overpass to get to the opposite side.

This is the old street of Yun City, the houses have a sense of age, and even the street trees are tall and lush, bringing a shade.

The distance is not too far. After getting off the overpass and walking a few steps, we arrived at the pharmacy. Jiang Ci looked in through the glass door of the pharmacy. He didn't see the owner of the pharmacy. There was only a little girl sitting at the counter playing with her mobile phone.

"Hello, a box of omeprazole."

The little girl was startled by Jiang Ci's voice, but she laughed when she saw it was Jiang Ci.

"Is it Boss Jiang? Suffering from stomach problems?"

"yes."

While taking medicine for Jiang Ci, Lu Xi said with concern: "You still have to eat regularly, Boss Jiang, just taking medicine is not enough."

After finishing speaking, she casually complained to Jiang Ci again: "I don't know what's going on during this time, the painkillers are suddenly out of stock."

"painkiller?"

Lu Xi put the stomach medicine on the cabinet, and replied: "Yes, ibuprofen and the like, anyway, as long as it has analgesic effect, we don't have to sell it now."

"What are you thinking, Boss Jiang, 36 yuan."

"nothing."

Jiang Ci scanned the QR code to pay, took the medicine and left. Lu Xi still wanted to let him chat, but he pointed to the opposite shop that he opened, and Lu Xi reluctantly let him go.

Before returning to the store, he first told Aunt Chen that he was back, and Aunt Chen also replied that he knew.After a while, she came over with a bowl of yam pork rib soup.

"Xiaoci, you drink this soup first. Stomach problems depend on curing three points and seven points depend on eating. After you take care of it for a while, it will definitely be fine."

Jiang Ci hurriedly took it, looking at the big bowl full, he felt a little touched, since his parents left, only Aunt Chen could make him feel the care of his family.

"So much, thank you Aunt Chen."

"Why don't you close the door early and go back later? At noon, Xiao Lin told me that the sneaky man who followed you hasn't been caught yet, and it's not safe at night."

"I know Aunt Chen."

Jiang Ci picked up a bunch of carnations next to her and handed them to her, saying, "Take this back, it will look good at home."

Aunt Chen waved her hands again and again: "You are going to sell this, I wasted it."

"You don't waste it if you're happy, and I'm selling it wholesale, so it's cheap."

Hearing what he said, Aunt Chen really did not refuse, and she was also happy to see such a bouquet of flowers at home.

After the sun went down completely, Jiang Ci listened to Aunt Chen's words, closed the store and planned to go home.

Originally, he lived in an old community a few minutes' walk away from his shop, but there was no security in that community, and the monitoring facilities were not perfect. After someone almost pried the lock open in the middle of the night, Jiang Ci moved.

It was replaced by a newly built community on the other side of Yun City. The price is relatively high, but the conditions inside are worthy of its price. The security guards at the gate are very conscientious, and there are basically no strange people who can follow him in.

When Jiang Ci went back with the thermos, the security guard greeted him warmly, his strong physique seemed very secure.

He was also very satisfied with this community, so he bought it even though it was expensive, and even used part of the inheritance left by his parents.

When he got home, his neighbor next door just went out. He was a very handsome middle-aged man named Pan.

The two hadn't had much contact with each other. Because of his physical fitness, Jiang Ci was unwilling to meet any strange men. The reason why he knew the neighbor's surname was when he came to the property and asked him why Mr. Pan next door was not at home all the time.

But when Jiang Ci opened the door today, Mr. Pan greeted him.

"Jiang Ci, you...&a$pGulu, hello."

He didn't understand the sentence in the middle, but only heard his name and hello. He turned his head to look, and found Mr. Pan who was standing behind him and hadn't left yet. He also nodded politely and said hello.

As a result, Mr. Pan stopped talking again and just looked at his stomach.

Jiang Ci looked at him strangely, and found that Mr. Pan's eyes were different from those of normal people. His pupils looked yellowish, which made people feel that they were not human beings but some kind of evil creatures. He shuddered and askedSaid: "What's the matter?"

"fine."

Mr. Pan's voice was very magnetic, just like the hostess of a late-night radio station who was not very serious at night, with a strange allure.

Jiang Ci felt an inexplicable panic, his scalp was numb, and he grabbed the handle of his own door, but fortunately, Mr. Pan turned around and left after speaking.

Looking at the back of him leaving, Jiang Ci saw him suddenly grow a pair of pointed ears and goat-like horns in a trance.

But in the blink of an eye, it seemed to be an illusion again. His back still looked like a strong, perfect male body carved out according to the golden ratio.

"strange."

The author has something to say:

Mr. Pan is not attacking~

So, who is Mr. Pan?
