Netherworld Investigator

Qiao Kejun took out the key and opened the door. The living room was pitch black, but the light leaked through the crack of Qiao Xin's bedroom door.

He bent his index finger and gently knocked on the bedroom door a few times, before gently pushing it open.Qiao Xin sat at the small desk and wrote seriously, and didn't look up when she heard the sound.

"Doing homework?" Qiao Kejun leaned against the door and raised his eyebrows.

"Yeah." Qiao Xin kept his back straight and wrote intently, without even glancing at his father out of the corner of his eyes.

"You work so hard." Qiao Kejun squinted his eyes, staring at Qiao Xin's flushed face like a small apple, "Have you eaten yet?"

Qiao Xin stared at the pen tip with a serious face, and said perfunctorily, "Ah."

Qiao Kejun was silent for a moment, and said, "Then you don't want to get up in the middle of the night to eat snacks like last night, I confiscated them all."

Qiao Xin finally put down the pen, raised her head and looked at him aggrievedly: "Wow, do you have to be so heartless!"

"Ask you again," Qiao Kejun folded his arms, unmoved, "Have you eaten yet?"

"No." Qiao Xin pouted.

Qiao Kejun was unmoved: "Then you just 'ah' what 'ah'."

"You heard me wrong." Qiao Xin lowered her head, staring at her bear-headed slippers, "I said 'no'."

Qiao Kejun looked at him and said nothing.

Qiao Xin lowered his head, and explained in all detail: "I broke the glass in the classroom, and I lost 60 yuan."

"Then there should be 30 yuan left this week."

Qiao Kejun usually gets off work late, and it is impossible to take care of his son’s dinner every day, so he gave Qiao Xin weekly pocket money, 30 yuan a day, and [-] yuan a week.

"The teacher wanted to meet the parents, so I hired the owner of a store near the school to pretend to be my grandfather."

"Next time you lie, I'll keep you hungry." Qiao Kejun rolled up his sleeves: "I'll cook."

"Puba." Qiao Xin yelled sweetly, wrapping her two small hands around Qiao Kejun's arms, trying to stop him from cooking.

Qiao Ke remained unmoved, let a small weight hang on his arm, and walked towards the kitchen without changing his expression.

"Let's go out to eat. Today is Friday and Christmas." Qiao Xin rubbed his arm and said, "We can go and eat the five-grain and six-vegetable healthy full-score set meal in Coarse Grain Square."

"Is my cooking taste so bad? I think it's okay." Qiao Ke was puzzled.

fine?Mr. Xiao Qiao sighed heavily in his heart.Mr. Da Qiao's cooking was either tasteless or smelled like burnt rice. Where did he feel confident that "it's okay", at most it was cooked well.

"Baba, is it okay not to eat Coarse Grain Shop? I seem to suddenly have a craving for pizza..." Qiao Xin took the initiative to change his shoes for going out, rubbing his two shoes against each other, and asked tentatively in a low voice.

Qiao Kejun turned around and walked into the house.

"I'm just kidding! I'm just kidding!" Qiao Xin yelled quickly, "Don't cook for me!"

Qiao Kejun walked to the living room, put the wallet on the coffee table into his pocket, and then walked back to the entrance.

"I just forgot to take my wallet. What are you doing so tragically?" He was a little speechless, reaching out to rub Qiao Xin's hair, "Let's go, eat pizza."

Qiao Kejun led the little one, Qiao Xin, on the road, and the little one had a little bear hanging on his schoolbag, and happily shook it behind his buttocks.

Qiao Xin stepped on his own shadow under the street lamp for a while, raised his face and asked, "Baba, can I have a Coke after dinner?"

"Just one cup." Qiao Kejun took out the remote control and pressed it on the car.

Qiao Xin got into the car, took the initiative to fasten the seat belt on the back seat, and asked, "Baba, after eating the pizza, can I go to the video game city last time? It's next door to the pizza shop."

Qiao Kejun ignited the ignition, started the car, and looked at Qiao Xin in the rearview mirror: "Did I give you the illusion that you can make progress?"

Qiao Xin rested her elbows on her knees, covered her face, and showed two big blinking eyes between her fingers: "Sponge gave me a Christmas present today, a white bear key ring." Sponge is the nickname of Qiao Xin's tablemate, Unlike Qiao Xin who always put on a cool look, that kid often has a sweet grin, like a jelly bean bun. "I want you to clip him a SpongeBob in return."

"Are you still coming?" Wen Baifan sat on the mock motorcycle, reluctantly turned his head to look at the poorly dressed young man next to him.

That guy had a bunch of bright red hair dyed on his head and sprayed with hairspray, standing on his head like a cockscomb. He was wearing a black long-sleeved T-shirt with a huge white middle finger printed on it. There is also a skull necklace.

"One more round!" Hong Mao made a gesture of hooking his horse to come over.

"Forgive me, I really can't do it." Wen Baifan stretched out his finger to poke the screen, and maps of more than ten blocks and race tracks flashed in front of his eyes.He frowned and sighed: "If you lose again, I will win ten consecutive victories. Such surging joy is really hard for us elderly people with fragile hearts to bear."

"Stop talking nonsense," Hong Mao patted the handlebar, "It's still a picture of this city, prepare to—"

Three, two, one!

As soon as the countdown numbers jumping on the screen disappeared, the two racing cars rushed off the track almost at the same time.The street scenes came and went and retreated in an instant, and the vibrant color blocks fell towards people like a collapsed wall.The red hair has been pestering Wen Baifan for nine times on this map, and instead of being thrown away from the first corner like at the beginning, he chased Wen Baifan's car all the way.

Unexpectedly, at the last corner of the sprint, Hongmao's phone rang suddenly.

The domineering ringtone of the counterfeit mobile phone is still very loud in the noisy video game city, and the sudden death metal music in his trouser pocket startled Hongmao.A little distraction will lose the last chance to overtake.

Seeing that the defeat was already decided, Hong Mao took out his phone angrily, "Who the hell is this! I had a chance to win!"

"It's time to start work again, I'll play with you again when I have a chance." The red hair waved at Wen Baifan with a hasty glance, showing an arrogant smile, "I'll definitely win you next time, I'll wait for you!"

Wen Baifan looked at his back and smiled, stretched his long legs, and jumped off the motorcycle. Unexpectedly, Wang Yu and Zhang Tao rushed up from behind and pinched him away with their arms on the left and right.

"Team leader, we found a super fun game." Zhang Tao suppressed a smile.

Wen Baifan turned pale with shock, like a little sheep being held in his mouth by a wolf: "What are you doing, I told you not to play haunted houses! Really not! Absolutely not!"

Wang Yu smirked and said, "Okay, let's not play the haunted house, let's practice guns."

"Shooting game?" Wen Baifan hesitated for a moment, "Then why are you grabbing me, it must not be an ordinary shooting game. Ahhh what the hell is the insect killer, let me go!!"

Wang Yu stuffed Wen Baifan into the closed half-person high game room, and worked together with Zhang Tao to block him in the middle and prevent him from getting out. "That's right, it's a game of shooting and killing insects in large numbers. It's a practice of guns and courage. It doesn't matter if the team leader is afraid. There are only two guns. Taozi and I are here to fight. You can sit in the middle and guide us."

Before the voice fell, the game began.

Wen Baifan quickly closed his eyes, pursed his lips tightly, and acted heroically, singing the Internationale loudly in his heart, trying to ignore the viscous sound of the flesh breaking of the insects surrounding him.

"Oh my God, look, team leader—" Wang Yu suddenly yelled in Wen Baifan's ear, the panic in his tone didn't seem fake.

Wen Baifan opened his eyes subconsciously, and saw a giant spider rushing towards his face on the screen, the dense hairy legs were completely visible, and the two eyes on his body looked at Wen Baifan like a bastard.

"See, this spider is really well done!" Wang Yu laughed like a child who succeeded in pranking.

Wen Baifan roared in grief and indignation: "Wang Yu, I'm never done with you! No—end—"

After finally waiting for the two brats to finish their game, Wen Baifan stepped out of the game room unsteadily, "Damn, it's worse than motion sickness..."

Zhang Tao took a pile of won game tickets to the service desk to exchange for prizes, and the other two stood in place.Seeing Wen Baifan's weak look, Wang Yu also felt a little guilty, so he couldn't help asking: "Hey, are you all right?"

"Student Wang, your style of painting is a little too broken." Wen Baifan glanced at him speechlessly, "Where is the usual elite energy? This video game city is more powerful than the gossip mirror. Let me show you the prototype."

When Wang Yu was told by him, he realized that he was a little too noisy and couldn't hold back his face, so he quickly put away his smile, but Wen Baifan's screams lingered in his mind, and it didn't take long before he broke down with a smile. Achieved.

"Enjoy yourself for a while." Wen Baifan sighed, "I'll take a rest."

"Are you tired?" Wang Yu clicked his tongue twice, "Why are you tired just sitting, I'm not tired enough after carrying the gun for a long time."

"Isn't my throat tired after shouting for so long? Besides, I was pestered by the red-haired boy and ran ten laps of the motorcycle before."

"I shot a lot of basketballs before that, and I was caught for a while..." Wang Yu stopped talking suddenly.

"What are you holding, a doll? Oh, holding a doll." Wen Baifan laughed.

"Zhang Tao wants that Pai Daxing, and I'm helping him." Wang Yu complained, "The trap must be fraudulent. After spending [-] coins, it didn't catch it. Every time it was close."

Wen Baifan said: "It's okay, just the ticket you won from the shooting is probably enough to exchange for a Pai Daxing."

Wang Yu subconsciously touched the gun pouch hidden at his waist, and muttered a little unhappily: "I don't feel at ease all day, I always have to make sure the gun is still on me to feel at ease..."

As soon as the words were finished, a man wearing a peaked cap passed by, suddenly leaned over and bumped into Wang Yu.

Wang Yu clicked his tongue: "Hey, how do you walk!"

"Don't run!" Wen Baifan sharp-eyed saw the man touching Wang Yu's back, and ran after him.

"My gun!" Wang Yu also quickly came to his senses.

Naturally, his athletic ability was not comparable to that of Wen Baifan, so he passed Wen Baifan in two or three, and was about to catch up with the thief wearing a hat, but unexpectedly bumped into a person hard at the corner.

With just this wrong eye, the thief ran away without a trace.

Wang Yu fixed his eyes on the person who bumped into him, and was instantly furious.When Wen Baifan hurried to catch up, he heard Wang Yu grit his teeth and spit out a name: "Qiao, Ke, Jun, it's you again!"

Wen Baifan was also very surprised: "Why are you here?"

"Brother Wen Baibai?" A small furry head protruded from the back of Qiao Kejun's thigh. It was Qiao Xin. He was holding a SpongeBob SquarePants that was half his height in his arms.

"Young Master Wang, team leader... Hey, Director Qiao, why are you all stuck here?" Zhang Tao walked over with a Pai Daxing.

Wang Yu suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Qiao Kejun by the collar, and pushed him against the wall amidst the startled sounds of passers-by: "Don't pretend, it must have something to do with you. Say, you and that bastard Is it a gang?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Qiao Kejun glanced at him coldly, "Let go."

"Xiao Wang, let go, don't waste time." Wen Baifan quickly regained his composure, "Turn up the monitoring immediately, it's important to find that person first."

The monitor in the video game city only captured the back of the gun thief. Based on the few fleeting images alone, it can only be judged that the other party is a male about 1.7 meters tall. He was wearing black jeans and a black peaked cap at the time of the crime. , but this information alone is simply not enough to pinpoint the identity of the suspect.

Five days have passed since the incident.

The punishment for Wang Yu's missing gun has not yet been officially announced. He himself was temporarily suspended from work and went home to wait for orders, and his missing gun has never been found.

At this time, another difficult case appeared in Chaocheng, which plunged this seemingly accidental missing gun into a bloody, terrifying and confusing fog.
