Please remember our website address and wish you all a happy reading! Don’t forget to spread the word.

For lunch, Zhou Ze didn't eat much, acting arrogantly and reservedly as if he didn't need more supplements at all;

I ate a little bit of it with sour plum juice.

On the other hand, the old Taoist ate a lot, and he ate like crazy. He had the spirit of an old man like Lian Po who could still eat. Most of the dishes on the table fell into the old Taoist's belly.

By the afternoon, the old man couldn't help but glance outside the bookstore, probably half-hearted and ready to go out and spread some love.

Anyway, Spider-Man can now do the cleaning work in the bookstore, and his job is indeed much easier.

However, at three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhou Ze's cell phone rang.

The caller ID showed an unfamiliar number. Zhou Ze answered the call, and a hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone:

"Help me...save me..."

Zhou Ze turned his head slightly and held the phone a little further away from himself.

Because the noise on the other end of the phone was really loud, as if there were a series of small firecrackers being set off there.

"Hello?" Zhou Ze asked again.

"I'm in Jiangjun Mountain, save me...save me..."

"Snapped!"

Zhou Ze hung up the phone directly, threw the phone on the coffee table, picked up the coffee again and took a sip.

Xu Qinglang next to him raised his head and looked at Zhou Ze, and asked casually: "Whose phone number?"

"Prank, distress call."

"What if it's true?" Xu Qinglang asked with a smile.

"It says it's at Jiangjun Mountain, but it's too far away and I'm too lazy to go."

Boss Zhou is a trouble-loving boss. Why should he run around when he can sit in a bookstore and wait for business to come to him?

Zhou Ze didn't even bother to think about the real reason for this distress call, and he didn't have the time to tell whether it was real or fake. He was not God or the Powerpuff Girls. He would go wherever he was needed.

"Boss, Pindao wants to go out and buy some daily necessities."

At this time, the old Taoist walked to Zhou Ze and asked for leave.

Zhou Ze was about to nod in agreement, but who knew his phone rang again, and it was still the unknown number.

Zhou Ze simply clicked on the public release:

"Hello?"

"Save me...save me...I'm at Jiangjun Mountain...they're going to kill people...they're going to kill people...Jiangjun Mountain...Jiangjun Mountain..."

The sound in the voice was much clearer than last time, but there was still a lot of noise in it.

"Save me...save me...I'm in Jiangjun Mountain...they're going to kill people...they're going to kill people...children...women...they are Executioner... Executioner..."

Xu Qinglang and Lao Dao looked at each other. If it was a prank, it was possible, but no one would notice Zhou Ze's private number at ordinary times. No one would contact Zhou Ze except himself and others. Who would be bored enough to give it to him? Planning a prank?

So... what if it's true?

But how do you explain that the number someone dialed immediately was definitely for Zhou Ze? Wouldn't he call 110 for help?

Right now, neither possibility makes much sense.

Zhou Ze hung up the phone again and reached out to rub his temples.

"What's for dinner tonight?" Boss Zhou asked.

Obviously, Boss Zhou, who doesn't like trouble, is still trying his best not to get too close to this strange distress call. Regardless of whether it is true or false, he just doesn't want to go out, okay?

"Pasta." Xu Qinglang said.

"By the way, Old Dao, you just said you wanted to go out for a while. Go out and remember to come back early."

"okay."

The old Taoist went out happily and with high energy, and I was going crazy as a teenager!

"Yingying, help me go out and buy an anonymous phone card." Zhou Ze said to Bai Yingying.

"Okay boss."

Bai Yingying left the store and came back soon. Although the real-name mobile phone cards are very strict in China, this kind of mobile phone cards that do not require registration of ID cards can still be bought everywhere. There is probably a stranger inside. Registered with the person's ID card.

After replacing the card, Zhou Ze dialed 110, and the operator there quickly connected the alarm hotline.

"Hello, this is the Tongcheng Police Service Desk..."

"I want to call the police. Some people say there is a murder case in Jiangjun Mountain. You'd better go check it out. I don't know if it's true or not. Okay, that's all."

"Please wait a moment, are you talking about Jiangjun Mountain?"

"right."

"Can you please give us your contact information and address? We will send someone to get in touch with you."

Zhou Ze hung up the phone again, then took out the mobile phone sim card and replaced it with his own.

After replacing the card, Zhou Ze hesitated and said, "There seems to be something wrong."

"What's wrong?" Xu Qinglang asked.

"I can't tell you, but I always feel like something is wrong."

………………

There are some clubs here on South Street, but the prices and grades are too high. Although the old man has a lot of money in his pocket, he prefers to comfort those old and lustful old girls. Of course, no matter how young they are, She is old and beautiful, almost the age of her own daughter, and she is still a bit of a beast.

of.

But since all the people in the club are his grandchildren, they are worse than animals!

I took a taxi to Gangzha and found a foot washing shop by the familiar route.

The rolling shutter door is closed, but the veteran knows that this does not mean that it is not open for business.

I smoked a cigarette outside and waited for a while. The rolling shutter door was opened and an old man who was younger than Lao Dao walked out and smiled at Lao Dao.

The friendship of "brother-in-law".

It takes ten years to cross the same boat, a hundred years to sleep together, and a thousand years to have a brother-in-law.

The old man bent down and walked in.

Inside there was a woman with heavy makeup, about forty years old, who said to the old Taoist:

"Brother, I'm going to take a shower first, please wait a moment."

"Gotta get it, gotta get it."

The old man sat down on the sofa, facing the TV.

The woman was washing her body inside, while the old man was in a state of wandering outside.

But then,

The news broadcast on the TV news made the old man open his mouth immediately.

"The latest news from our station is that the murder case that occurred in Jiangjun Mountain a week ago has now made new progress. The police have identified the target suspect, a young man named 'Ye Qing'.

The police's wanted order is now released. Ye Qing, male, 25 years old, once worked at Tongcheng Water Plant, a friend of the deceased's family, and went to Jiangjun Mountain with the deceased's family for vacation on the day of the incident.

After the incident, Ye Qing’s whereabouts have been unknown. Anyone with information is asked to report it to the police, who will offer a reward..."

The old man looked at the TV screen and was stunned.

By chance, the woman came out of the shower and saw the old man staring at the news on TV, smacking his lips and saying:

"It happened last week. A family of three were all killed and their heads were cut off. They haven't been found yet. It's really tragic. The couple are quite young, and the child seems to be only five years old. , it’s a girl.”

The old man stood up suddenly,

Relying on his experience in solving crimes with his previous boss, he was keenly aware that the phone call his boss received before he came out must be unusual!

"Sister, brother didn't bring any medicine today, I'm going to leave first."

After saying that, Lao Dao ran out of the foot washing shop directly.

………………

When Lao Dao took a taxi back to the bookstore, he found that Zhou Ze was not on the first floor.

Spider-Man sat there, motionless.

Xu Qinglang sat behind the bar with a cucumber on his face.

"Where's the boss?" asked the old man.

Xu Qinglang stretched out his hand and pointed upward without saying anything.

The old man immediately ran up the stairs and opened the door of the boss's bedroom.

in the bedroom,

The boss was lying on the tatami, with Bai Yingying's legs as pillow. Bai Yingying was massaging the boss's head.

The boss looked like I am so tired, I have so many things to do, and I am working so hard.

Bai Yingying looks like boss, you are really too tired, too hard, and overworked, and I feel sorry for you.

Pooh,

Dog men and women!

The old Taoist felt relieved in his heart.

Then he said righteously:

"Boss, something happened."

Zhou Ze turned his head slightly, looked at the old man standing at the door, and said, "What's wrong?"

"Boss, Jiangjunshan, a murder occurred last week. Three members of the family were killed. Not only has the murderer not been found, but even the heads of the three deceased have not been found."

"Oh." Zhou Ze responded.

No wonder the police take their own police calls so seriously, it makes sense now.

"Boss, that phone number of yours is probably a message given to you by an insider." Lao Dao reminded.

"Yeah." Zhou Ze responded again.

Then, continue to immerse yourself in Bai Yingying's massage and fingering just right.

"..." said the old man.

He understood that the boss may have known it for a long time, but the boss may be afraid of trouble and didn't want to pay attention to it. The trouble here may not only refer to the trouble of investigating this matter, but also the trouble of secretly managing the world as a ghost. Things are in trouble.

The latter may be more troublesome and more sensitive than the former.

This makes the old Taoist feel a little pained. The emperor is not anxious and the eunuch is anxious, but it is most frustrating.

At this moment, Zhou Ze's cell phone rang again. The cell phone was charging on the bedside table. Zhou Ze frowned. He obviously didn't want to answer the phone, so he didn't let Bai Yingying get the phone for him.

The old man ran over and saw that it was still an unfamiliar number, so he pressed the answer button.

"Help me...save us...I'm at Jiangjun Mountain...they're coming...they're coming...they're going to kill...they're going to kill..." …”

Zhou Ze reached out and took out his ears.

Didn't hear, didn't hear,

I am deaf,

I am deaf,

My ears are wet.

But then,

手机里忽然传出了一个小女孩痛苦凄惨的尖叫声:“啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊!!!!!!”

Zhou Ze opened his eyes, looking helpless and confused.

The other person hung up the phone.

The old man swallowed, took out his mobile phone, walked to Zhou Ze, pointed the mobile phone at the boss, and said: "Boss, this is a photo of the daughter of the three members of the victim's family."

A photo of an innocent five-year-old little girl was placed in front of Zhou Ze.

Zhou Ze glanced at it and then looked away, while the old Taoist continued to point the phone screen at Zhou Ze's eyes.

Look,

Take a look,

Can you bear it?

Can you bear it?

You are still human!

Oh no, even ghosts can’t bear it, right?

"Boss, check it out. This girl hasn't even been found yet," the old man encouraged.

Zhou Ze remained silent.

"Boss, I think the person who called is very suspicious. He seems to be at the scene."

Zhou Ze sighed, gave up struggling, and stood up silently.

He said to Bai Yingying: "Help me find a set of casual clothes and sneakers."

"Okay, boss." Bai Yingying immediately stood up to find clothes.

Zhou Ze looked at the Taoist priest again and smiled: "With your level, you still want to learn to analyze and solve cases?"

"Ah?" The Taoist priest was a little confused.

"Who am I?" Zhou Ze asked.

"Ghost messenger, boss."

"What is the strange phone call to me?"

"It's......"

"Ghost call."
