Huai Shi screamed as she woke up from her bed and saw the mess in her bedroom.
It was a nightmare.
But the tragic death in the nightmare was so vivid that his neck still felt the phantom pain of being torn apart.
He touched his neck with lingering fear and felt cold sweat. But he was very sleepy. After drinking a mouthful of water, he lay back on the bed and closed his eyes.
In a trance, he seemed to have become a security guard on the night shift. He took the time to walk out to smoke in front of the door when he heard footsteps in the corridor.
In the darkness, someone was gradually approaching.
When he put out the cigarette and was about to turn around to ask something, he saw a hideous mask stained with blood — Fierce Ape. Fierce Ape grinned and smiled.
In the next moment, he was dead again.
Huai Shi screamed again as she jumped out of bed. She saw the mess in her bedroom and the dust on the ceiling that had been shaken by her screams.
He panted violently and touched his stomach.
It was a nightmare again.
This time, his stomach was directly dug out, from the bottom up, and then his neck was pulled out …
"Damn it … I'm seeing a ghost."
He panted for a long time and lay on the bed. He wanted to stay up all night, but he didn't expect that he would fall asleep again.
This time, he became a fat man who had just finished his fun and was about to go home. He washed his hands, sang, and was about to change his clothes when he saw blood seeping in from under the door.
The footsteps in the pool of blood gradually approached.
Someone pushed the door open.
Then he died again.
"Damn it, I'm seeing a ghost!"
Huai Shi opened his eyes angrily, wrapped himself in the quilt, and turned over. "I don't believe it!"
He closed his eyes, and then … he had a nightmare for the whole night.
It was not until dawn that he finally returned to normal and fell into a deep sleep. Before he fainted, he vaguely saw that in the deepest part of the shadows of the dream, there was a blood-red eye quietly staring at him.
.
.
At three o 'clock in the morning, Ai Qing heard the sound of the phone downstairs. Soon, the sound of the phone stopped abruptly. Not long after, someone knocked on the door.
"Miss, it's a C-level alarm."
Ai Qing sighed. "Help me change."
A woman in a tight suit came in and helped her up from the bed. She helped her change out of her pajamas and then put her underwear on her naked white body.
The thin girl was helped up and stood in front of the mirror, supporting herself with a walking stick.
"Which one are you wearing today?"
"The black one you bought a few days ago, right? It'll go with the long skirt. Remember to bring a blanket."
"Alright."
Fifteen minutes later, Ai Qing, who was sitting in a wheelchair, was pushed into a car by a lady holding an umbrella. In the pouring rain, the car drove all the way. Finally, they showed their ID outside the barrier and drove all the way to the scene.
The torrential rain had washed away the bloodstains outside. Only white sheets could be seen covering the corpses, but the scene indoors was still intact.
Seeing the car coming, someone came up to greet it.
The car window rolled down, revealing the girl's pale face due to lack of sleep. "What happened?"
"It's a special crime." The person outside said, "According to the rules, we must inform the local prosecutor of the Astronomical Society immediately to deal with it."
"Sure enough …"
Ai Qing sighed tiredly and patted the armrest of the wheelchair. The lady driving the car held an umbrella and moved her wheelchair and the girl out of the car with one hand. She carefully placed them in a place where the rain couldn't reach.
"What's the situation at the scene?"
As if it had nothing to do with her, Ai Qing asked coldly, "Are there any survivors?"
"No."
The people at the scene shook their heads, "Jinhao Baths is a newly opened clubhouse. Prostitutes, prostitutes, security guards, there wasn't a single survivor from the inside out. The delivery man discovered the situation, and by the time we arrived, an hour had already passed … Then, a police station in Qingpu District was attacked, but there were no casualties."
"I see."
Ai Qing didn't ask any more questions. She just looked up and said to the capable female driver behind her, "Take me to see. I haven't been to a brothel before."
The scene was not big. It was four floors and a basement.
There were only bloody footprints and broken limbs. The beautiful corpses in the lounge also had all kinds of horrible marks on them that one couldn't bear to look at them directly.
Ai Qing finished watching and yawned expressionlessly. "Is there a surveillance camera?"
"It was taken away. All the cameras are broken, but we just found that there are records in the surrounding traffic cameras."
"Let me take a look first."
Ai Qing knocked on the armrest of the wheelchair with disinterest.
The person at the scene sighed helplessly. He didn't get angry. Instead, he waved to the engineer to send the surveillance video.
Anyone who saw Ai Qing would definitely see her face first. They would be attracted by her pair of calm and indifferent eyes.
Then, they would see her wheelchair. Then, they would feel pity in their hearts. It was a waste of God's gift for such a good-looking girl to have a leg injury.
Even if her personality was strange and indifferent, and she had never even smiled at people.
After working with her so many times, the person in charge of the scene had long been used to her indifference and was not surprised.
There was not much footage in the surveillance camera. Most of it was a flash of a black shadow flying past before the person was torn apart. Only in the end, when the figure came out of the gate, was the front profile captured by the traffic camera on the opposite side of the road.
Nothing could be seen clearly.
"It's all useless. Don't look at it."
Ai Qing looked away and looked at the person at the scene. "What's the situation in the police station on the other side? No casualties? "
"Yes, because it attacked the evidence room. It directly tore down the wall and entered. At night, the door was locked and no one was on duty, but there is a video."
The person at the scene hurriedly called the video and played it.
In the video, the evidence room was silent. Then, there was a roar, like an earthquake. The wall shook, and then a crack broke open.
A stooped figure came in and took advantage of the short time when no one was there to rummage through the room. Finally, he smashed open the cabinet and took out something. When he turned around and saw the surveillance video, he threw something out. The screen suddenly turned black.
Ai Qing reached out and paused the video. Then, she rewound the video for a few seconds.
In the video, the person who was facing the surveillance camera was wearing an ape mask. He was stooped and was holding something in his arms …
"Zoom in here."
Ai Qing's eyes widened slightly. She leaned closer and stared at the zoomed in image and the box in the person's arms.
"This, what is this?"
"I don't know … the Rubik's Cube?" The person at the scene was also confused. Immediately, they were dumbfounded by their own ridiculous conjecture.
Ai Qing pondered for a moment and asked, "Is there a record of the things in the evidence room?"
Soon, a management directory that was locked in the cabinet was sent over. At the end, there was a photo of the strange metal box, the police dispatch record, and the files of the crime scene.
"A corpse?"
Ai Qing frowned. "Whose corpse was found when we reported the case?"
"A local man who was released after serving his sentence. His name is Liu Eryou. He has a record of drug use … The information is here. We saw him in the club's surveillance video."
All the files were sent to Ai Qing's mobile phone.
First, there was a poisonous bug with a criminal record who died in an alley after visiting a prostitute. Then, the entire nightclub was massacred. The police station where the evidence was kept was also attacked.
In the end, the attacker took away a small box …
Ai Qing rubbed her eyebrows in annoyance.
"Another relic from the border?"
She knocked on the armrest unhappily. "What do the people at the border eat? Why do they always throw this kind of garbage into the present? This is the sixth case this year … Also, if this is the case, the explosion at the harbor during the day must be related to this, right? Why didn't anyone inform me? "
"…"
The middle-aged man who cooperated with her at the scene was stunned for a moment. His expression immediately turned bitter. "I'm not sure. Maybe they are still going through the process?"
"If you like to go through the process so much, why don't you go through the process for a while after such a big mess tonight?"
Ai Qing's tone was not without mockery. She had long been aware of the local's distrust of the Astronomy Society. "It's okay. It's understandable if you put yourself in their shoes. Who would like a female cripple who is less than 20 years old to criticize them?"
"…"
The middle-aged man could only smile with a bitter face. Then, he cursed the group of idiots above him in his mind.
After asking someone to buy her a hot coffee, Ai Qing frowned and took a sip. Then, she threw it aside in disgust.
"Instant."
"It's too late. I can't get the one you want …"
"Alright, stop acting pitiful."
Ai Qing glanced at him uninterestedly and knocked on the screen. "There weren't many surveillance videos at the time of the crime. There should be some before, right? When the first body was found, who was the one who reported the case? "
Soon, the image of the gate on the screen quickly retreated. In the end, it stopped at the body of a young man with messy hair.
On the screen, he turned around to look at the police station behind him and showed his face.
In the silence, Ai Qing bit her finger and did not speak.
"Tsk …"
As if it was an illusion, the middle-aged man heard her extremely unhappy voice.
.
.
In the morning after the rainstorm.
He could vaguely hear the birds outside the window and smell the fragrance of grass and trees blowing through the gaps in the window. After a night of nightmares, Huai Shi finally woke up from his long-lost dream of being a fat otaku.
He opened his eyes.
Then, he saw the black muzzle of a gun.
Those soldiers wearing bulletproof vests and masks had filled the room. They were almost armed to the teeth. Their guns and cannons were all aimed at his face.
"Boss, don't shoot, we're on the same side …"
Huai Shi was stunned for a long time. He swallowed his saliva and slowly raised his hands.
Who the f * ck is on the same side with you.jpg
Although the leader did not speak, his eyes were full of disdain. Then, Huai Shi felt that someone had stabbed a needle into his neck.
Then, everything went black and he didn't know anything …
.
"Name."
"Huai Shi …"
"Age."
"Seventeen …"
In the interrogation room, Huai Shi, who was handcuffed to a chair, lowered her head listlessly. She wondered if this godforsaken place was also recruiting male prostitutes.
What the hell!
What's going on?
What should I do?
Huai Shi felt that his face had become a classic emoji display screen. In the end, it became a thick black question mark.jpg.
What the f * ck is going on?
The group of people changed several times and the questions changed several times. They asked him where he was yesterday, what he did, who he was, and what evil forces were behind him.
It was as if she was treating Huai Shi as some kind of evil criminal.
The interrogators took turns. They changed from a solo mission to a team mission. They talked about the good cop and the bad cop. There were also all kinds of torture techniques to deter people …
In the end, Huai Shi was about to collapse.
"Good men, please give me a quick death." Huai Shi lay on the table with tears in his eyes. "I'll confess. I'll confess everything. But can you at least tell me what I did? I'm a good citizen, really a good citizen. Yesterday, I saw a murder scene and even called the police! You can't accuse me … "
Behind the one-sided mirror.
Ai Qing watched the whole process expressionlessly. It was only when the middle-aged man in charge became impatient and waved his hand for the punishment that she spoke.
"If it really involves relics from the border, even if you torture him, I'm afraid he won't say anything. Besides, can't you tell whether he's telling the truth or not? "
"But we only have this one clue …" The middle-aged man was also helpless. "Then what should we do?"
Ai Qing shook her head, took out her phone, and opened her contact list. Finally, she found a number. "Although there aren't many locally registered Ascendants, there are many who are willing to maintain cooperation with the authorities. However, due to the delay in your internal process, the case has occurred. Astronomy will not bear the employment costs. Do you understand? "
"I understand." The middle-aged man sighed. "It's only the middle of the year. There's still more than half of the budget left. I'll double it to you, okay?"
The call went through.
Ai Qing asked straightforwardly, "Special Affairs Division, 15 minutes, okay?"
Soon, the call was hung up.
15 minutes later, someone was brought in by the guards. It was obviously not his first time here. He greeted Ai Qing familiarly. "Ms. Ai, long time no see. Why don't you come over to my place?"
"It's too dirty."
Ai Qing stuffed a file over expressionlessly. She pointed at the young man behind the one-sided mirror who was lying on the table shouting that he wanted to expose something on Weibo. "Let him talk. Can you do it?"
"It's a piece of cake."
The newcomer grinned, flipped his hair, and pushed the door open.
But when he saw Huai Shi's face, he was stunned.
Huai Shi was also dumbfounded.
"Wait, why are you here?"
He looked at the male prostitute at the door, who had once taught him to know the rules, and shouted angrily, "I understand now. You're all in this together! And you said you don't hire male prostitutes here! I just didn't sell my body. Do you have to do this? "
In the awkward silence, only the young man's angry roar could be heard.
"You're forcing me into prostitution!!!"
