[Full-time master] mottled
Chapter 6 Wife Killer
Under the guidance of several patients and family members, Zhou Zekai blushed with mixed feelings in his heart, took two big steps and fled back to the ward, closing the door with a bang.
Just like he didn't care too much about Jiang Botao hugging Chen Zilu who was about to fall in his arms in a panic, Zhou Zekai knew that Jiang Botao would not be angry with himself because of Chen Zilu's sudden confession and physical gestures to him.
— Otherwise, after all these years, the grass on his grave would have been more than two meters high.
This is due to Sentinel's absolute trust in his partner, and also out of absolute trust in the tenacious bond between the two.
But Zhou Zekai really cared about that sneer.
Jiang Botao is not the kind of delusional character in TV dramas who listens to and believes, and thinks that the whole world is going to snatch his man. He will not show that expression for no reason. Jiang Botao must have discovered it from Chen Zilu's behavior. what.
It's not suitable for them to go round and round, so Zhou Zekai chose to ask straightforwardly: "What's wrong?"
The mental barrier they set up when they asked Chen Zilu earlier hadn't been removed, Jiang Botao was not worried that these words would be heard by people with ulterior motives: "Chen Zilu has a problem!"
Zhou Zekai was taken aback. Although he did feel that some of Chen Zilu's behaviors were a bit abrupt to him, why did she become "problematic" when it came to Jiang Botao?
Could it be that Jiang Botao is really jealous?
Jiang Botao looked at the complicated expression on Zhou Zekai's face when he looked at him, and naturally understood what the latter was thinking of, and immediately added angrily and amusingly: "Don't think about it, this 'problem' has nothing to do with you. How much does it matter."
"Oh." Relieved, Zhou Zekai stepped forward and sat beside Jiang Botao by the bed.He originally wanted to hold Jiang Botao's hand on the edge of the bed, but when he let it go, it was in vain.Zhou Zekai, who failed to achieve his goal, felt a little awkward in his heart. He turned his head to look at Jiang Botao in silence, trying to express his dissatisfaction with his eyes, but saw him pinching his chin and staring at a certain spot on the floor that looked like He was thinking, and whispered in his mouth: "Hey, if you think about it this way, it seems to have something to do with it..."
"What's the relationship?" Zhou Zekai didn't know.
"Xiao Zhou, how many days have you known Chen Zilu?" Jiang Botao asked in a strange manner.
"Hmm..." Zhou Zekai thought about it for a while, "I met by chance at noon last Friday."
"Today is Tuesday, which means you have known each other for less than four days..." Jiang Botao, who got the answer, blurted out while thinking about it: "Hey, Xiao Zhou, you fell in love with me at that time. How long has it been?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Zekai was taken aback for a moment, and then replied in seconds: "One look."
Jiang Botao, who suddenly realized what he had just asked and what kind of explosive answer he had heard, turned his ears red in disappointment, and realized his mistake in the panic of the little deer: "Uh, no, that's not right! The two of us This thing is not suitable as a benchmark! Yes! It is not suitable at all!"
"What benchmark?" Zhou Zekai couldn't figure out what Jiang Botao was talking about.
"Just, just, just, just, cough cough—" Jiang Botao coughed a few times, suppressing the girlish feeling in his heart that suddenly became dokidoki: "That is to say, I think Chen Zilu's affection for you came too quickly Yes. You have only known each other for four days, and the number of times you have met can be counted on one hand. Of course, you are so beautiful, it cannot be ruled out that she really fell in love with you at first sight."
"Are you jealous?" Zhou Zekai leaned forward and kissed the tip of his ear, with a playful arc on the corner of his mouth.
"Talk about the business! Be serious!" Jiang Botao shrank back in fright, his mouth kept scolding, but the red cloud on his cheeks became more serious: "If you talk nonsense, be careful that I risk my life. To 'change' your face into Thanos!"
"Okay, that's the business." Zhou Zekai straightened his back, put his legs together, and put his hands on his knees, just like a good kindergarten baby.
"Cough cough." Jiang Botao fake coughed twice, blushing and said: "Xiao Zhou, don't you think some of Chen Zilu's performances are 'tearing'?"
"Huh? How do you say it?"
"It's like there are two Chen Zilus, one is extremely saddened by Tang Junhao's death, while the other is eager to move towards you, so that Chen Zilu just finished chatting with us about Tang Junhao's death, and immediately went out to confess her love to you. "
"This……"
To be honest, Zhou Zekai never thought about it, he just felt that Chen Zilu's confession came too suddenly, it really scared him, at most he murmured in his heart that this girl is too extroverted.After listening to Jiang Botao's analysis, Zhou Zekai felt the "tearing feeling" in Chen Zilu's words, deeds and emotions just now.
"So?" Like the vast majority of sentinels in the martial arts faction, Zhou Zekai was not willing to use his brain on this kind of question that Jiang Botao already had an answer to. He liked to listen to the answer directly.
"Chen Zilu's 'tearing' has an obvious boundary." Jiang Botao walked to the door under Zhou Zekai's gaze, pointed to the ward door with transparent glass strips, and said, "This is the boundary."
"The door?" Zhou Zekai frowned suspiciously.
Seeing that he didn't seem to understand, Jiang Botao had no choice but to clarify his words: "Chen Zilu in the ward is a Chen Zilu who loves Tang Junhao and is devastated by his death; out of the ward, she is a person who admires you very much. , and even Chen Zilu who took the initiative to confess to you in public. I thought about it, in this ward, there is only this one special thing that can cause Chen Zilu's 'tear', or in other words, affect her 'tear' crack'."
As Jiang Botao said, he bent his knuckles and knocked a few times in front of the door.In the eyes of onlookers, Jiang Botao's hand was really inexplicable, only Zhou Zekai saw it. In the air, circles of ripples were rippling from the place where he struck.
——That is Jiang Botao's spiritual barrier, a barrier that can isolate all external spiritual intervention.
He understood what Jiang Botao wanted to say.
"A watcher?" Zhou Zekai said.
"Nine times out of ten." Seeing that Zhou Zekai understood what he meant, Jiang Botao walked back to the bed and sat down, "I guess, on the night when the yin and yang butterflies attacked you, this watcher didn't just hide outside and peek. It's so simple that Chen Zilu put her down, he must have done something to her, so that Chen Zilu was 'torn apart' after that night."
"What about the purpose?"
"...I don't know." Jiang Botao thought for a while, "Perhaps because he was afraid of being discovered by me, he controlled Chen Zilu to be a substitute...?"
He hesitated, and there was no confidence in his tone.A watcher who could silently knock out and take away Chen Zilu outside the door, but looking for a substitute for such a peripheral person who had nothing to do with them, was a bit too amateurish.Zhou Zekai saw his worry, reached out and shook his palm: "Don't think about it, just let nature take its course."
"No." Jiang Botao shook his head, "Xiao Zhou, even if you don't think about why Chen Zilu was 'torn apart', this matter is by no means so simple. Because just now, the 'original' Chen Zilu didn't tell us the truth , she must be hiding something."
Looking at Jiang Botao's burning gaze, Zhou Zekai couldn't help sighing, put his arms around the back of his head, and pressed him against his chest, then he fell back like a fool: "I'll talk about it later, sleep. "
Jiang Botao struggled for a few times, and managed to break free and get up from his arms: "How can anyone go to bed without washing? I'll take a shower first, and you will also wash later."
Zhou Zekai just smiled and didn't answer the conversation, until he watched Jiang Botao enter the bathroom, then his smile subsided a little, and his eyes turned serious.
The current situation was more serious than he had imagined. Everyone who appeared beside them seemed to have problems, and no one could believe it.They were already in a thick fog, and after clearing away the fog, what they saw was still a deep haze.
He has to do something.
In the end, before Zhou Zekai could come up with any practical solution, someone took the initiative, but it wasn't Chen Zilu, but Fang Minghua.
Minghua Juju knocked on the door of the ward at around nine o'clock the next morning, informing Zhou Zekai that the special physical examination had been completed, and he could pack up and get out of the inpatient department.
In fact, the two of them had nothing to clean up. They just stuffed a few changes of clothes and a laptop for monitoring and surveillance into their bags and they were done.Jiang Botao was taken by Fang Minghua to go through the discharge procedures, while Zhou Zekai, who was about to go downstairs to call a taxi, ran into Chen Zilu at the elevator entrance.
When Chen Zilu, who was waiting for the elevator, saw Zhou Zekai, her drowsy eyes lit up instantly, and she immediately smiled and bent her brows, making two dimples appear on her small, unpowdered melon-seeded face.To be honest, Chen Zilu is very beautiful. If we want to classify her into general categories, she probably belongs to the pure school girl type that many homeboys will like.
If in normal times, such a beautiful girl smiled at him like a flower, even if Zhou Zekai didn't know her well, he would at least nod politely in response.But last night Jiang Botao had just analyzed with him Chen Zilu's unusual behavior after being "torn apart", and the next day he saw her laughing at him like a nympho. This feeling was really weird, and Zhou Zekai subconsciously He wanted to stay away from her.
Coincidentally, the elevator arrived at this time. The man standing in front of Chen Zilu walked in first. After pressing the floor, he looked out of the elevator and called out in surprise: "Eh? Brother Zhou?"
Zhou Zekai was also taken aback: "Wen Gao?"
——That person is none other than Ma Jianlin's precious apprentice, Shi Wengao from the Criminal Investigation Brigade.
"Officer Shi, you guys know each other." Although Chen Zilu's words were aimed at Shi Wengao, her eyes were fixed on Zhou Zekai, as if Zhou Zekai would disappear if she didn't pay attention.Zhou Zekai felt uncomfortable being stared at by her, so he quickly walked two steps into the elevator, forcing himself between Shi Wengao and the car wall.Chen Zilu originally wanted to stand beside Zhou Zekai, but there was no gap around him, so she had to give up.
In order to prevent Chen Zilu from suddenly making any radical words and deeds like last night, Zhou Zekai took the initiative to talk to Shi Wengao when he entered the elevator, and learned that he was here this time to take Chen Zilu to the headquarters again, and there were some things about Tang Junhao that needed to be discussed again ask her.
When talking about this point, Zhou Zekai sneaked a glance over Shi Wengao and glanced at Chen Zilu. When she heard the name Tang Junhao, she didn't change her emotions. She still stared at Zhou Zekai closely. The burning passion bursting out from those eyes made Zhou Zekai Got goosebumps.
Seeing that Zhou Zekai, who has always been reticent, took the initiative to talk to him, Shi Wengao was quite happy, and explained to him that the reason why he didn't wear a police uniform was to avoid unnecessary troubles when Chen Zilu was taken away from the inpatient department. The misunderstanding had a negative impact on her.Zhou Zekai actually wanted to tell Shi Wengao that thanks to Chen Zilu's passionate confession last night, she is now considered a "celebrity" in the inpatient department, and there are many people who point and point behind her.
Shi Wengao couldn't hold back his chatterbox once he opened it up, and he even mentioned the hexagram that Wang Jiexi had made for him yesterday afternoon.Zhou Zekai heard Jiang Botao talk about meeting Wang Jiexi at the police headquarters last night, so he casually asked, "What did he do to you?"
"Wang Daochang asked me to go to the lottery station two streets away to buy a ten-dollar scratch-off ticket after get off work that day."
"Win the lottery?" Zhou Zekai raised his eyebrows.
"No." Shi Wengao said cheerfully.
"You're so happy without winning?" Chen Zilu was finally attracted by the conversation between the two.
"But I caught a fugitive scammer at the lottery station! Shouldn't you be happy when you catch the criminal?" Shi Wengao said proudly, "I thought about it, winning the lottery is not the purpose, Wang Daochang just wants to lure me Lottery station to catch criminals! After all, I asked Wang Daochang to help me figure out my official career."
As Shi Wengao said, he touched the back of his head in embarrassment.On the other hand, Chen Zilu seemed more interested in this matter: "So, this Taoist priest is quite accurate in fortune-telling. I don't know where I can invite him? I really want him to help me calculate the marriage..."
While talking, Chen Zilu looked at Zhou Zekai again. She didn't know what she was imagining. The longing in her eyes made Zhou Zekai feel a chill in his heart. There seems to be some status on the control side.
——The not-so-good kind.
Fortunately, the elevator stopped in time, and before the elevator door was fully opened, Zhou Zekai quickly jumped in sideways, baffled Shi Wengao, who still wanted to say goodbye to him.Fortunately, Shi Wengao and the others were going to the underground parking lot on the first floor, and they didn't get off the elevator with him. Zhou Zekai finally escaped from the entanglement of Chen Zilu.
Jiang Botao, who was still waiting for the elevator on the [-]th floor of the inpatient department, received messages from Zhou Zekai. expression.Jiang Botao's heart skipped a beat, he thought something happened to Zhou Zekai, so he quickly replied: What happened?
Zhou Zekai returned quickly: the first floor, next to the elevator, the bathroom, the third from the left.
Now Jiang Botao didn't wait for the elevator anymore, he walked a few steps quickly, turned a corner and pushed open the door of the safe passage.Perhaps it was because he felt that going down the steps was too strenuous and slow, so Jiang Botao took a moment to sit sideways on the handrail of the stairs, and slid all the way down. He didn't jump down until there were patients and their family members on the fourth and fifth floors who were going up and down the stairs through the safety passage. Instead of walking, the wind went down to the first floor and rushed into the public toilet next to the elevator.As soon as he stood still in front of the third compartment on the left, the door swung open, and Zhou Zekai stretched out his hand to drag Jiang Botao in.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Botao, who didn't know what happened, was extremely nervous, while Zhou Zekai, who was breathing heavily, just hugged him tightly, didn't speak, and kept rubbing the tip of his nose against Jiang Botao's neck.Jiang Botao could clearly feel Zhou Zekai's emotional fluctuations. His sentries were extremely insecure now, so much so that Zhou Zekai desperately needed his guide to dispel this anxiety.
"Don't be nervous, Xiao Zhou, I'm here, adjust your breathing slowly. Don't worry, I'll always be here, and I won't leave you." Jiang Botao spread out his mental barrier, and raised his voice in this narrow space as much as possible. Guided by Su Concentration, he patted Zhou Zekai's back and comforted his sentinel softly.Under the gentle guidance of Su, Zhou Zekai gradually calmed down, and his breathing became more stable, but he still hugged Jiang Botao tightly and refused to let go. Jiang Botao pushed him twice but failed to push him away, so he gave up.
"What happened?" Jiang Botao never believed that Zhou Zekai would fall into anxiety just because he was separated for a few minutes, and his sentry was not so weak.
"There is something wrong with Chen Zilu." Zhou Zekai didn't go around in circles, and directly stated his opinion: he suspected that his loss of emotional control was affected by the "tearing" of the watchers on Chen Zilu.
"If it's true." Jiang Botao pondered for a moment, then said hesitantly, "The spiritual power of this watcher is really strong."
Zhou Zekai squeezed out a reply from his throat, and then he finally let go of Jiang Botao: "Okay."
"Okay?" Jiang Botao tilted his head to look at him.
"Okay." Zhou Zekai nodded after his expression returned to normal.
"No more?" Jiang Botao pointed to the side of his neck.
Zhou Zekai was silent for a moment, then he quickly leaned over and took a sip on the warm flesh, leaving an ambiguous reddish spot.Jiang Botao, who originally wanted to make a small joke, was caught off guard and jumped back in fright, hitting the back of his head directly on the door panel, making a "boom".
"Ouch—" Jiang Botao hugged the back of his head and wailed unceasingly, Zhou Zekai hurriedly made a silent gesture at him.Jiang Botao thought he had discovered some emergency, so he quickly silenced his voice and listened to the movement outside the cubicle, but it turned out that it was only because someone came in...
Jiang Botao, who was still rubbing the back of his head, glared at Zhou Zekai, who pretended not to know anything and began to stare affectionately at the ceiling.Jiang Botao tidied up his clothes and expression, opened the compartment door first and walked out. Two minutes later, Zhou Zekai also came out.
The two met at the gate of the hospital, hailed a taxi and went straight home.
Jiang Botao clearly understood that no matter how many suspicious people appeared around them, and no matter how many pairs of eyes were secretly staring at them, he and Zhou Zekai could not stop.
The strength of the enemy doesn't stop them from uncovering the truth.
But having said that, there are only two of them, and there are so many directions to investigate, it is a bit overwhelming: Tang Junhao's abnormal awakening, Chen Zilu's "tearing", the monitor with abnormally strong mental power, and the mysterious The whistlers who disappeared.
Jiang Botao felt a headache just thinking about it, he leaned his head on Zhou Zekai's shoulder helplessly, and at this moment, another thought flashed in his mind.
——Or they could follow Wang Jiexi's advice and meddle in their own business?
In the next few days, life for Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao was very difficult.
If you insist on describing it, it is even more difficult than a college dog who has to study the entire semester by himself one week before the final exam.According to Wang Jiexi, since Zhou Zekai came home from the hospital, the two began to go out and meddle in their own business. From helping the police uncle to fight crime, to helping the old woman cross the road, they were omnipotent and omnipotent.If it weren't for the need to keep their identities secret, they would definitely have won the Lei Feng Advanced Award in S City this month.
The two of them were not idle when they were at home. After all, the surveillance video sent by Xiao Shiqin was still waiting in the computer. The hundreds of gigabytes of video made Zhou Zekai so dizzy that he even used eye drops. A whole bottle.But Jiang Botao was even worse than him. Now he felt that there was a clock jumping in the upper left corner of everything he saw. It was like a surveillance video mask.
Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao had been going out and coming back late all day long in the community. The well-organized staff were made to look like unemployed vagrants in a mixed society. In addition, they had been in and out of the community several times in a police car before. The uncles and aunts pointed out behind the two of them, and it became more and more serious.It's just that the two of them don't have time to deal with these gossips, and they simply can't manage their daily "nosy affairs". Who has the leisure to care about the mouths of these old men and women?
According to what Wang Jiexi said, as long as he took care of Husband Cuan's business, the mystery of the disappearance of the East Pagoda that they had been pursuing would pay off within a month.And this "Cuan Husband", to put it bluntly, is a cook.Jiang Botao didn't quite understand why Wang Jiexi insisted on sticking to words on this word. Wouldn't it be nice to just speak the vernacular?
However, Wang Jiexi does have some supernatural powers, although he is quite supernatural, this hexagram is quite accurate.Not to mention that Shi Wengao was praised for catching a fugitive fraudster at a lottery station under his guidance, but let's say that the talisman paper bag that Wang Jiexi gave Ma Jianlin really saved the latter's life——
No one expected that the gangster who had given in would suddenly attack. He pulled out the knife suddenly and stabbed at Ma Jianlin who was about to handcuff him. The sharp blade pierced Ma Jianlin's police coat, but he couldn't get in again. go a cent.When Ma Jianlin came back to his senses, he gave the boy a fierce overhand throw with his backhand, which directly knocked the gangster into a daze.
Afterwards, the police officers involved in the arrest said that fortunately Captain Ma had the foresight to wear a bulletproof vest under his overcoat. Ma Jianlin laughed and found an excuse to hide on the street corner where no one was around.With lingering fear, he took out the talisman paper bag that Wang Jiexi had given him from the hidden pocket inside his coat. Although this small talisman paper bag was poked a hole by the blade, it was not pierced through. The hole was exposed, like blood oozing from a wound.Just when Ma Jianlin was about to take a closer look, the talisman paper bag suddenly ignited spontaneously, and turned into a cluster of ashes in the blink of an eye, and all the ashes dissipated in the night wind, as if the little talisman paper bag came from It never happened.
Afterwards, Ma Jianlin called Jiang Botao several times, wanting to ask him for Wang Jiexi's contact information to thank him personally.Jiang Botao also really wanted to find Wang Jiexi, but unfortunately the cell phone number that the king had left him a few years ago had already become empty, and he didn't know any other contact methods, and Wang Jiexi himself was so elusive that he couldn't find it.
After learning the truth, Ma Jianlin had no choice but to give up, but Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao became more determined to "help every cook who encounters difficulties to tide over the difficulties".
It's just that City S is so big, with hotels, restaurants, cafeterias, fly restaurants, and roadside stalls added up, there are still tens of thousands of cooks, even if there are not a hundred thousand.It is really difficult to find such a key person in the vast crowd.The two of them calculated the amount of time spent on a meal, and they planned to take the method of waiting for rabbits: Although there are many cooks in S City, there are also a few places where they are relatively concentrated.
So Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao started wandering around the famous food streets in S City. Because Christmas was approaching, the traffic of people in the food streets increased, and all kinds of disputes naturally increased.It's just that no matter how the two meddle in their own business, what they encounter is such trivial things as finding the wrong change, making the wrong taste, skipping the queue, or customers dissatisfied with the service attitude of the shop assistant, and Jiang Botao will pass them all as soon as he speaks fluently.As for the bigger nostalgia, it was just that Zhou Zekai caught two pickpockets who came to the food street at the end of the year to "seek business".
Seeing that the first day had passed, the two of them had eaten those snacks on the food street two or three times, but the cook Wang Jiexi had mentioned still hadn't appeared.Just when Jiang Botao was about to eat Xiaolongbao and vomited, things finally turned around.
It's funny to say that this key person didn't appear in the food street where Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao stayed for a few days, and he wasn't even a cook at all.
It was Christmas Eve, and the street was as lively as the Spring Festival. There were couples and families of three everywhere, as well as Santa Clauses of different heights, fat and thin.The shops along the street are brightly lit. The clerk dressed as a reindeer is trying his best to yell at the passers-by for a big Christmas treat. The clerk dressed as a snowman lures customers into the door with candies that cost a dime each. There are even store clerks trying to attract customers , Relying on a small square in front of his door, he set up a snow machine to artificially snow.
The festive atmosphere was so strong that Zhou Zekai was almost out of breath, and Jiang Botao also felt a little groggy from the brainwashing of various versions of JingleBells. It was almost eleven o'clock at the time, and the two discussed it and decided to go home and rest first.
Zhou Zekai led Jiang Botao and walked slowly towards the gate of the food street against the flow of people. The air was filled with the smell of various snacks and snacks. Zhou Zekai felt increasingly dizzy and couldn't help but quicken his pace.
There are also many ghosts and monsters who enjoy the festival among the crowd, but as long as they don't do anything to harm humans, the two who are rushing to escape the crowd don't bother to care about them.But it would be unreasonable for them to ignore the guy who openly sold poisoned apples on Christmas Eve.
I don’t know if it’s to win sympathy and attract attention, but that guy cosplays as a little match girl—a girl in a red dress with a patched square scarf on her head is carrying a bamboo basket full of apples at the food court. Wandering at the gate of the street, and frequently stopped passers-by, asking them if they need to buy a Ping An fruit for their family or friends.
Maybe it was for the sake of flattery, or maybe it was because the girl selling apples looked sweet, and almost all the passers-by who were stopped bought her apples.Leaving aside which genius came up with the idea that an apple is a safe fruit, just looking at her basket of apples that are round and plump on the surface, rosy and fragrant, but actually hides a murderous intent, Zhou Zekai knew that she must eat this apple. It's not safe.
Jiang Botao also saw the strangeness in the apple. Seeing that the girl didn't seem to want them to buy an apple, he smiled and leaned over: "Hey, little sister, do you sell this apple?"
"Eh?" At that time, the girl was about to stop another uncle who was hugging his wife, and she was surprised to see Jiang Botao approach him, but she quickly replied with a smile, "Sell it~ Brother, you want to buy an apple." Do you give it to your girlfriend? On Christmas Eve, give me an apple, and you will be safe for the next year~"
"Hmm~ Young lady can really talk." Jiang Botao narrowed his eyes with a smile, showing a mouthful of small white teeth.
"Five yuan each." The girl picked up an apple and handed it over, but Jiang Botao pushed it away: "Miss, can I pick it myself?"
"Okay~" The girl generously handed over the basket on her elbow.
Jiang Botao carefully selected them, and then he sighed with feigned regret: "Sigh, the apples you sell have worms, how dare I give them away."
The girl who sold the apples changed her face, and then she returned to normal in an instant. She said with a smile, "Don't be kidding me. These apples are red and big, and the skin is smooth. There are no insect eyes. Where can there be insects?"
"Although there are no worm eyes on the outside, it doesn't mean that there are no worms in the apple..." Jiang Botao took a step forward and whispered in the girl's ear: "Eating too many of these apples with 'worms' will kill you, little one." My sister doesn't know, does she?"
The girl whose secret was exposed visibly trembled. Jiang Botao thought she would flee the scene with guilt, so he gave Zhou Zekai a wink who had already stood behind the girl calmly. The two of them prepared to pursue together.
In the next second, the girl actually slapped Jiang Botao backhanded!
I don't know when the girl turned red, but she threw the apple basket on Jiang Botao's shoulders and cursed loudly with the utmost grievance: "Stinky rascal! If you don't buy apples, forget it! Still touch me!"
Since it was at the gate of the food street, there were already many people coming and going, so when the girl yelled like this, it didn't take a second for passers-by to be attracted to her.Seeing that the gathering was almost complete, the girl threw the apple in her hand at Jiang Botao, and ran away crying.
Jiang Botao was directly stunned by her slap, and was hit by an apple all over his chest. Coupled with the whispering of the onlookers, there was a buzzing in his head at the moment, and he would not be able to calm down for a while.Things happened too fast, Zhou Zekai looked at Jiang Botao who was still in a daze, then at the girl who had already run away, gritted his teeth, squeezed out of the crowd and chased after the girl first.
Zhou Zekai believed that Jiang Botao could handle such a small scene.
Jiang Botao has indeed managed to handle it. Normally, he just needs to be thick-skinned, ignore the pointing and pointing of those onlookers, and just rush out.To say that Jiang Botao was just unlucky, the girl's fuss almost alarmed the nearby security personnel.It just so happened that the superior had just issued a document emphasizing the need to strengthen public security management in densely populated areas at the end of the year, so Jiang Botao was right on the gun.
So, Jiang Botao was taken to the security pavilion to have a cup of tea.
After finally using the "hint" to escape from the security management personnel, Jiang Botao chased into this alley following the spiritual guidance left by Zhou Zekai, and Zhou Zekai's side was fighting lively.
Jiang Botao was on fire in his heart, seeing that the girl who had changed back to the original form of a giant insect wanted to prick Zhou Zekai with those sharp poisonous pincers, at that moment, he was so angry that he picked up a stone and threw it After "changing" into a sharp blade, he rushed forward to join the battle.
Zhou Zekai already had the chance to win, and Jiang Botao's joining brought the battle to a swift end.
"Bah!" Jiang Botao couldn't hold back, and spat on the poisonous insect that was already lying on the ground dying: "You still 'touched you', you have so many feet, how can I move them?"
Zhou Zekai pursed his lips and smiled secretly: "It's the Gu mother."
In front of the two of them was a huge poisonous insect with a pair of spider claws and a hooked tail like a scorpion. Its mouthparts were as sharp as leeches, and its centipede-like body was covered with a deadly black-blue light. There are also spider hair clusters as thick as steel needles, which seem to be a collection of deadly poisonous insects.
"Isn't the worm in the apple a sub-gu?" Jiang Botao was startled, "It seems that this thing can't be kept."
"Yeah." Zhou Zekai nodded, looking down at the giant worm with killing intent in his eyes: As long as the Gu mother dies, those sub-gus that are eaten will take two days at most, and there will be no more. Worry for life.
At this moment, a scream came from behind the two of them.
The two subconsciously looked back at the same time, and saw a middle-aged man sitting on the ground, looking in their direction with horror on his face, obviously frightened by the huge Gu mother.
It can only be blamed on Zhou Zekai's poor choice of place. Although this alley is quiet, it's not like no one passed by.The two looked at each other, Zhou Zekai turned his head and continued to deal with the Gu mother, while Jiang Botao walked up to him with a relaxed expression, trying to pull the man up, and said "Hi, sir, I am "Help me to the end!" What did you see?" column team, congratulations on becoming an amateur guest of this issue! Are you satisfied with the monster model we made? Oh, by the way, have you seen the camera over there? Come and shoot with our lens Let's say hello!", while piercing the back of his head with a mental probe that can blur memory.
However, before Jiang Botao came to him, the man knelt down to the two of them.
"Two great immortals! Help!"
Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao took the shivering man to a food stall with few people on the side of the street, sat down for supper, and listened to his appeal along the way.
The man is Shen Qiang, an accountant.
Although the family conditions are not rich, the husband and wife are harmonious, and there is a three-year-old daughter. These days are peaceful and warm.However, several strange things happened at home this month: first, the wife could not sleep well at night, and always felt that someone was watching at the bedside; It was broken; it was hard for his daughter to stop burning, but he refused to go back to his small room to sleep. Shen Qiang had no choice but to let his daughter sleep with his wife, and went to sleep on the sofa by himself. The three-year-old daughter is sitting in front of his wife's dresser and applying makeup!She painted herself a big smiley face with lipstick, the bright red corners of her mouth were drawn all the way to the back of her ears, and coupled with her daughter's abnormally white painted face, Shen Qiang was so frightened that he almost lost control on the spot.
After that night, the daughter started to have a high fever again. Shen Qiang's wife was quite superstitious and believed that her daughter had bumped into something unclean, so she asked someone to contact a sorceress to see her daughter.The sorceress came over to have a look, burned some talisman water for the little girl to drink, and finally said with certainty that the evil spirit attached to Shen Qiang's daughter had been eliminated.Unexpectedly, tonight, the daughter developed a high fever again, and the wife sent Shen Qiang out to invite the sorceress again.As a result, the sorceress's house was empty, and Shen Qiang returned without success. It happened that on the way out of the sorceress's house, he ran into Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao who were dealing with the voodoo mother.
Shen Qiang, who witnessed the Gu mother's body, felt that Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao must be immortals with real skills, unlike the sorceress who only knew how to dance and burn talisman papers, so he knelt down to them for help.
After listening to Shen Qiang's narration, Jiang Botao felt that his daughter might be possessed by a ghost, or a female ghost with great resentment.Poor little girl, not only was possessed by a ghost, but also filled with amulet water by that sorceress who pretended to be a ghost.It would be fine if they didn't encounter this kind of thing, but now they have to deal with it, and they have to deal with it until the end, not only because Wang Jiexi's prophecy has not yet been fulfilled, but also because of the sense of mission of being a special person.
"Let's do this." Jiang
Just like he didn't care too much about Jiang Botao hugging Chen Zilu who was about to fall in his arms in a panic, Zhou Zekai knew that Jiang Botao would not be angry with himself because of Chen Zilu's sudden confession and physical gestures to him.
— Otherwise, after all these years, the grass on his grave would have been more than two meters high.
This is due to Sentinel's absolute trust in his partner, and also out of absolute trust in the tenacious bond between the two.
But Zhou Zekai really cared about that sneer.
Jiang Botao is not the kind of delusional character in TV dramas who listens to and believes, and thinks that the whole world is going to snatch his man. He will not show that expression for no reason. Jiang Botao must have discovered it from Chen Zilu's behavior. what.
It's not suitable for them to go round and round, so Zhou Zekai chose to ask straightforwardly: "What's wrong?"
The mental barrier they set up when they asked Chen Zilu earlier hadn't been removed, Jiang Botao was not worried that these words would be heard by people with ulterior motives: "Chen Zilu has a problem!"
Zhou Zekai was taken aback. Although he did feel that some of Chen Zilu's behaviors were a bit abrupt to him, why did she become "problematic" when it came to Jiang Botao?
Could it be that Jiang Botao is really jealous?
Jiang Botao looked at the complicated expression on Zhou Zekai's face when he looked at him, and naturally understood what the latter was thinking of, and immediately added angrily and amusingly: "Don't think about it, this 'problem' has nothing to do with you. How much does it matter."
"Oh." Relieved, Zhou Zekai stepped forward and sat beside Jiang Botao by the bed.He originally wanted to hold Jiang Botao's hand on the edge of the bed, but when he let it go, it was in vain.Zhou Zekai, who failed to achieve his goal, felt a little awkward in his heart. He turned his head to look at Jiang Botao in silence, trying to express his dissatisfaction with his eyes, but saw him pinching his chin and staring at a certain spot on the floor that looked like He was thinking, and whispered in his mouth: "Hey, if you think about it this way, it seems to have something to do with it..."
"What's the relationship?" Zhou Zekai didn't know.
"Xiao Zhou, how many days have you known Chen Zilu?" Jiang Botao asked in a strange manner.
"Hmm..." Zhou Zekai thought about it for a while, "I met by chance at noon last Friday."
"Today is Tuesday, which means you have known each other for less than four days..." Jiang Botao, who got the answer, blurted out while thinking about it: "Hey, Xiao Zhou, you fell in love with me at that time. How long has it been?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Zekai was taken aback for a moment, and then replied in seconds: "One look."
Jiang Botao, who suddenly realized what he had just asked and what kind of explosive answer he had heard, turned his ears red in disappointment, and realized his mistake in the panic of the little deer: "Uh, no, that's not right! The two of us This thing is not suitable as a benchmark! Yes! It is not suitable at all!"
"What benchmark?" Zhou Zekai couldn't figure out what Jiang Botao was talking about.
"Just, just, just, just, cough cough—" Jiang Botao coughed a few times, suppressing the girlish feeling in his heart that suddenly became dokidoki: "That is to say, I think Chen Zilu's affection for you came too quickly Yes. You have only known each other for four days, and the number of times you have met can be counted on one hand. Of course, you are so beautiful, it cannot be ruled out that she really fell in love with you at first sight."
"Are you jealous?" Zhou Zekai leaned forward and kissed the tip of his ear, with a playful arc on the corner of his mouth.
"Talk about the business! Be serious!" Jiang Botao shrank back in fright, his mouth kept scolding, but the red cloud on his cheeks became more serious: "If you talk nonsense, be careful that I risk my life. To 'change' your face into Thanos!"
"Okay, that's the business." Zhou Zekai straightened his back, put his legs together, and put his hands on his knees, just like a good kindergarten baby.
"Cough cough." Jiang Botao fake coughed twice, blushing and said: "Xiao Zhou, don't you think some of Chen Zilu's performances are 'tearing'?"
"Huh? How do you say it?"
"It's like there are two Chen Zilus, one is extremely saddened by Tang Junhao's death, while the other is eager to move towards you, so that Chen Zilu just finished chatting with us about Tang Junhao's death, and immediately went out to confess her love to you. "
"This……"
To be honest, Zhou Zekai never thought about it, he just felt that Chen Zilu's confession came too suddenly, it really scared him, at most he murmured in his heart that this girl is too extroverted.After listening to Jiang Botao's analysis, Zhou Zekai felt the "tearing feeling" in Chen Zilu's words, deeds and emotions just now.
"So?" Like the vast majority of sentinels in the martial arts faction, Zhou Zekai was not willing to use his brain on this kind of question that Jiang Botao already had an answer to. He liked to listen to the answer directly.
"Chen Zilu's 'tearing' has an obvious boundary." Jiang Botao walked to the door under Zhou Zekai's gaze, pointed to the ward door with transparent glass strips, and said, "This is the boundary."
"The door?" Zhou Zekai frowned suspiciously.
Seeing that he didn't seem to understand, Jiang Botao had no choice but to clarify his words: "Chen Zilu in the ward is a Chen Zilu who loves Tang Junhao and is devastated by his death; out of the ward, she is a person who admires you very much. , and even Chen Zilu who took the initiative to confess to you in public. I thought about it, in this ward, there is only this one special thing that can cause Chen Zilu's 'tear', or in other words, affect her 'tear' crack'."
As Jiang Botao said, he bent his knuckles and knocked a few times in front of the door.In the eyes of onlookers, Jiang Botao's hand was really inexplicable, only Zhou Zekai saw it. In the air, circles of ripples were rippling from the place where he struck.
——That is Jiang Botao's spiritual barrier, a barrier that can isolate all external spiritual intervention.
He understood what Jiang Botao wanted to say.
"A watcher?" Zhou Zekai said.
"Nine times out of ten." Seeing that Zhou Zekai understood what he meant, Jiang Botao walked back to the bed and sat down, "I guess, on the night when the yin and yang butterflies attacked you, this watcher didn't just hide outside and peek. It's so simple that Chen Zilu put her down, he must have done something to her, so that Chen Zilu was 'torn apart' after that night."
"What about the purpose?"
"...I don't know." Jiang Botao thought for a while, "Perhaps because he was afraid of being discovered by me, he controlled Chen Zilu to be a substitute...?"
He hesitated, and there was no confidence in his tone.A watcher who could silently knock out and take away Chen Zilu outside the door, but looking for a substitute for such a peripheral person who had nothing to do with them, was a bit too amateurish.Zhou Zekai saw his worry, reached out and shook his palm: "Don't think about it, just let nature take its course."
"No." Jiang Botao shook his head, "Xiao Zhou, even if you don't think about why Chen Zilu was 'torn apart', this matter is by no means so simple. Because just now, the 'original' Chen Zilu didn't tell us the truth , she must be hiding something."
Looking at Jiang Botao's burning gaze, Zhou Zekai couldn't help sighing, put his arms around the back of his head, and pressed him against his chest, then he fell back like a fool: "I'll talk about it later, sleep. "
Jiang Botao struggled for a few times, and managed to break free and get up from his arms: "How can anyone go to bed without washing? I'll take a shower first, and you will also wash later."
Zhou Zekai just smiled and didn't answer the conversation, until he watched Jiang Botao enter the bathroom, then his smile subsided a little, and his eyes turned serious.
The current situation was more serious than he had imagined. Everyone who appeared beside them seemed to have problems, and no one could believe it.They were already in a thick fog, and after clearing away the fog, what they saw was still a deep haze.
He has to do something.
In the end, before Zhou Zekai could come up with any practical solution, someone took the initiative, but it wasn't Chen Zilu, but Fang Minghua.
Minghua Juju knocked on the door of the ward at around nine o'clock the next morning, informing Zhou Zekai that the special physical examination had been completed, and he could pack up and get out of the inpatient department.
In fact, the two of them had nothing to clean up. They just stuffed a few changes of clothes and a laptop for monitoring and surveillance into their bags and they were done.Jiang Botao was taken by Fang Minghua to go through the discharge procedures, while Zhou Zekai, who was about to go downstairs to call a taxi, ran into Chen Zilu at the elevator entrance.
When Chen Zilu, who was waiting for the elevator, saw Zhou Zekai, her drowsy eyes lit up instantly, and she immediately smiled and bent her brows, making two dimples appear on her small, unpowdered melon-seeded face.To be honest, Chen Zilu is very beautiful. If we want to classify her into general categories, she probably belongs to the pure school girl type that many homeboys will like.
If in normal times, such a beautiful girl smiled at him like a flower, even if Zhou Zekai didn't know her well, he would at least nod politely in response.But last night Jiang Botao had just analyzed with him Chen Zilu's unusual behavior after being "torn apart", and the next day he saw her laughing at him like a nympho. This feeling was really weird, and Zhou Zekai subconsciously He wanted to stay away from her.
Coincidentally, the elevator arrived at this time. The man standing in front of Chen Zilu walked in first. After pressing the floor, he looked out of the elevator and called out in surprise: "Eh? Brother Zhou?"
Zhou Zekai was also taken aback: "Wen Gao?"
——That person is none other than Ma Jianlin's precious apprentice, Shi Wengao from the Criminal Investigation Brigade.
"Officer Shi, you guys know each other." Although Chen Zilu's words were aimed at Shi Wengao, her eyes were fixed on Zhou Zekai, as if Zhou Zekai would disappear if she didn't pay attention.Zhou Zekai felt uncomfortable being stared at by her, so he quickly walked two steps into the elevator, forcing himself between Shi Wengao and the car wall.Chen Zilu originally wanted to stand beside Zhou Zekai, but there was no gap around him, so she had to give up.
In order to prevent Chen Zilu from suddenly making any radical words and deeds like last night, Zhou Zekai took the initiative to talk to Shi Wengao when he entered the elevator, and learned that he was here this time to take Chen Zilu to the headquarters again, and there were some things about Tang Junhao that needed to be discussed again ask her.
When talking about this point, Zhou Zekai sneaked a glance over Shi Wengao and glanced at Chen Zilu. When she heard the name Tang Junhao, she didn't change her emotions. She still stared at Zhou Zekai closely. The burning passion bursting out from those eyes made Zhou Zekai Got goosebumps.
Seeing that Zhou Zekai, who has always been reticent, took the initiative to talk to him, Shi Wengao was quite happy, and explained to him that the reason why he didn't wear a police uniform was to avoid unnecessary troubles when Chen Zilu was taken away from the inpatient department. The misunderstanding had a negative impact on her.Zhou Zekai actually wanted to tell Shi Wengao that thanks to Chen Zilu's passionate confession last night, she is now considered a "celebrity" in the inpatient department, and there are many people who point and point behind her.
Shi Wengao couldn't hold back his chatterbox once he opened it up, and he even mentioned the hexagram that Wang Jiexi had made for him yesterday afternoon.Zhou Zekai heard Jiang Botao talk about meeting Wang Jiexi at the police headquarters last night, so he casually asked, "What did he do to you?"
"Wang Daochang asked me to go to the lottery station two streets away to buy a ten-dollar scratch-off ticket after get off work that day."
"Win the lottery?" Zhou Zekai raised his eyebrows.
"No." Shi Wengao said cheerfully.
"You're so happy without winning?" Chen Zilu was finally attracted by the conversation between the two.
"But I caught a fugitive scammer at the lottery station! Shouldn't you be happy when you catch the criminal?" Shi Wengao said proudly, "I thought about it, winning the lottery is not the purpose, Wang Daochang just wants to lure me Lottery station to catch criminals! After all, I asked Wang Daochang to help me figure out my official career."
As Shi Wengao said, he touched the back of his head in embarrassment.On the other hand, Chen Zilu seemed more interested in this matter: "So, this Taoist priest is quite accurate in fortune-telling. I don't know where I can invite him? I really want him to help me calculate the marriage..."
While talking, Chen Zilu looked at Zhou Zekai again. She didn't know what she was imagining. The longing in her eyes made Zhou Zekai feel a chill in his heart. There seems to be some status on the control side.
——The not-so-good kind.
Fortunately, the elevator stopped in time, and before the elevator door was fully opened, Zhou Zekai quickly jumped in sideways, baffled Shi Wengao, who still wanted to say goodbye to him.Fortunately, Shi Wengao and the others were going to the underground parking lot on the first floor, and they didn't get off the elevator with him. Zhou Zekai finally escaped from the entanglement of Chen Zilu.
Jiang Botao, who was still waiting for the elevator on the [-]th floor of the inpatient department, received messages from Zhou Zekai. expression.Jiang Botao's heart skipped a beat, he thought something happened to Zhou Zekai, so he quickly replied: What happened?
Zhou Zekai returned quickly: the first floor, next to the elevator, the bathroom, the third from the left.
Now Jiang Botao didn't wait for the elevator anymore, he walked a few steps quickly, turned a corner and pushed open the door of the safe passage.Perhaps it was because he felt that going down the steps was too strenuous and slow, so Jiang Botao took a moment to sit sideways on the handrail of the stairs, and slid all the way down. He didn't jump down until there were patients and their family members on the fourth and fifth floors who were going up and down the stairs through the safety passage. Instead of walking, the wind went down to the first floor and rushed into the public toilet next to the elevator.As soon as he stood still in front of the third compartment on the left, the door swung open, and Zhou Zekai stretched out his hand to drag Jiang Botao in.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Botao, who didn't know what happened, was extremely nervous, while Zhou Zekai, who was breathing heavily, just hugged him tightly, didn't speak, and kept rubbing the tip of his nose against Jiang Botao's neck.Jiang Botao could clearly feel Zhou Zekai's emotional fluctuations. His sentries were extremely insecure now, so much so that Zhou Zekai desperately needed his guide to dispel this anxiety.
"Don't be nervous, Xiao Zhou, I'm here, adjust your breathing slowly. Don't worry, I'll always be here, and I won't leave you." Jiang Botao spread out his mental barrier, and raised his voice in this narrow space as much as possible. Guided by Su Concentration, he patted Zhou Zekai's back and comforted his sentinel softly.Under the gentle guidance of Su, Zhou Zekai gradually calmed down, and his breathing became more stable, but he still hugged Jiang Botao tightly and refused to let go. Jiang Botao pushed him twice but failed to push him away, so he gave up.
"What happened?" Jiang Botao never believed that Zhou Zekai would fall into anxiety just because he was separated for a few minutes, and his sentry was not so weak.
"There is something wrong with Chen Zilu." Zhou Zekai didn't go around in circles, and directly stated his opinion: he suspected that his loss of emotional control was affected by the "tearing" of the watchers on Chen Zilu.
"If it's true." Jiang Botao pondered for a moment, then said hesitantly, "The spiritual power of this watcher is really strong."
Zhou Zekai squeezed out a reply from his throat, and then he finally let go of Jiang Botao: "Okay."
"Okay?" Jiang Botao tilted his head to look at him.
"Okay." Zhou Zekai nodded after his expression returned to normal.
"No more?" Jiang Botao pointed to the side of his neck.
Zhou Zekai was silent for a moment, then he quickly leaned over and took a sip on the warm flesh, leaving an ambiguous reddish spot.Jiang Botao, who originally wanted to make a small joke, was caught off guard and jumped back in fright, hitting the back of his head directly on the door panel, making a "boom".
"Ouch—" Jiang Botao hugged the back of his head and wailed unceasingly, Zhou Zekai hurriedly made a silent gesture at him.Jiang Botao thought he had discovered some emergency, so he quickly silenced his voice and listened to the movement outside the cubicle, but it turned out that it was only because someone came in...
Jiang Botao, who was still rubbing the back of his head, glared at Zhou Zekai, who pretended not to know anything and began to stare affectionately at the ceiling.Jiang Botao tidied up his clothes and expression, opened the compartment door first and walked out. Two minutes later, Zhou Zekai also came out.
The two met at the gate of the hospital, hailed a taxi and went straight home.
Jiang Botao clearly understood that no matter how many suspicious people appeared around them, and no matter how many pairs of eyes were secretly staring at them, he and Zhou Zekai could not stop.
The strength of the enemy doesn't stop them from uncovering the truth.
But having said that, there are only two of them, and there are so many directions to investigate, it is a bit overwhelming: Tang Junhao's abnormal awakening, Chen Zilu's "tearing", the monitor with abnormally strong mental power, and the mysterious The whistlers who disappeared.
Jiang Botao felt a headache just thinking about it, he leaned his head on Zhou Zekai's shoulder helplessly, and at this moment, another thought flashed in his mind.
——Or they could follow Wang Jiexi's advice and meddle in their own business?
In the next few days, life for Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao was very difficult.
If you insist on describing it, it is even more difficult than a college dog who has to study the entire semester by himself one week before the final exam.According to Wang Jiexi, since Zhou Zekai came home from the hospital, the two began to go out and meddle in their own business. From helping the police uncle to fight crime, to helping the old woman cross the road, they were omnipotent and omnipotent.If it weren't for the need to keep their identities secret, they would definitely have won the Lei Feng Advanced Award in S City this month.
The two of them were not idle when they were at home. After all, the surveillance video sent by Xiao Shiqin was still waiting in the computer. The hundreds of gigabytes of video made Zhou Zekai so dizzy that he even used eye drops. A whole bottle.But Jiang Botao was even worse than him. Now he felt that there was a clock jumping in the upper left corner of everything he saw. It was like a surveillance video mask.
Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao had been going out and coming back late all day long in the community. The well-organized staff were made to look like unemployed vagrants in a mixed society. In addition, they had been in and out of the community several times in a police car before. The uncles and aunts pointed out behind the two of them, and it became more and more serious.It's just that the two of them don't have time to deal with these gossips, and they simply can't manage their daily "nosy affairs". Who has the leisure to care about the mouths of these old men and women?
According to what Wang Jiexi said, as long as he took care of Husband Cuan's business, the mystery of the disappearance of the East Pagoda that they had been pursuing would pay off within a month.And this "Cuan Husband", to put it bluntly, is a cook.Jiang Botao didn't quite understand why Wang Jiexi insisted on sticking to words on this word. Wouldn't it be nice to just speak the vernacular?
However, Wang Jiexi does have some supernatural powers, although he is quite supernatural, this hexagram is quite accurate.Not to mention that Shi Wengao was praised for catching a fugitive fraudster at a lottery station under his guidance, but let's say that the talisman paper bag that Wang Jiexi gave Ma Jianlin really saved the latter's life——
No one expected that the gangster who had given in would suddenly attack. He pulled out the knife suddenly and stabbed at Ma Jianlin who was about to handcuff him. The sharp blade pierced Ma Jianlin's police coat, but he couldn't get in again. go a cent.When Ma Jianlin came back to his senses, he gave the boy a fierce overhand throw with his backhand, which directly knocked the gangster into a daze.
Afterwards, the police officers involved in the arrest said that fortunately Captain Ma had the foresight to wear a bulletproof vest under his overcoat. Ma Jianlin laughed and found an excuse to hide on the street corner where no one was around.With lingering fear, he took out the talisman paper bag that Wang Jiexi had given him from the hidden pocket inside his coat. Although this small talisman paper bag was poked a hole by the blade, it was not pierced through. The hole was exposed, like blood oozing from a wound.Just when Ma Jianlin was about to take a closer look, the talisman paper bag suddenly ignited spontaneously, and turned into a cluster of ashes in the blink of an eye, and all the ashes dissipated in the night wind, as if the little talisman paper bag came from It never happened.
Afterwards, Ma Jianlin called Jiang Botao several times, wanting to ask him for Wang Jiexi's contact information to thank him personally.Jiang Botao also really wanted to find Wang Jiexi, but unfortunately the cell phone number that the king had left him a few years ago had already become empty, and he didn't know any other contact methods, and Wang Jiexi himself was so elusive that he couldn't find it.
After learning the truth, Ma Jianlin had no choice but to give up, but Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao became more determined to "help every cook who encounters difficulties to tide over the difficulties".
It's just that City S is so big, with hotels, restaurants, cafeterias, fly restaurants, and roadside stalls added up, there are still tens of thousands of cooks, even if there are not a hundred thousand.It is really difficult to find such a key person in the vast crowd.The two of them calculated the amount of time spent on a meal, and they planned to take the method of waiting for rabbits: Although there are many cooks in S City, there are also a few places where they are relatively concentrated.
So Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao started wandering around the famous food streets in S City. Because Christmas was approaching, the traffic of people in the food streets increased, and all kinds of disputes naturally increased.It's just that no matter how the two meddle in their own business, what they encounter is such trivial things as finding the wrong change, making the wrong taste, skipping the queue, or customers dissatisfied with the service attitude of the shop assistant, and Jiang Botao will pass them all as soon as he speaks fluently.As for the bigger nostalgia, it was just that Zhou Zekai caught two pickpockets who came to the food street at the end of the year to "seek business".
Seeing that the first day had passed, the two of them had eaten those snacks on the food street two or three times, but the cook Wang Jiexi had mentioned still hadn't appeared.Just when Jiang Botao was about to eat Xiaolongbao and vomited, things finally turned around.
It's funny to say that this key person didn't appear in the food street where Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao stayed for a few days, and he wasn't even a cook at all.
It was Christmas Eve, and the street was as lively as the Spring Festival. There were couples and families of three everywhere, as well as Santa Clauses of different heights, fat and thin.The shops along the street are brightly lit. The clerk dressed as a reindeer is trying his best to yell at the passers-by for a big Christmas treat. The clerk dressed as a snowman lures customers into the door with candies that cost a dime each. There are even store clerks trying to attract customers , Relying on a small square in front of his door, he set up a snow machine to artificially snow.
The festive atmosphere was so strong that Zhou Zekai was almost out of breath, and Jiang Botao also felt a little groggy from the brainwashing of various versions of JingleBells. It was almost eleven o'clock at the time, and the two discussed it and decided to go home and rest first.
Zhou Zekai led Jiang Botao and walked slowly towards the gate of the food street against the flow of people. The air was filled with the smell of various snacks and snacks. Zhou Zekai felt increasingly dizzy and couldn't help but quicken his pace.
There are also many ghosts and monsters who enjoy the festival among the crowd, but as long as they don't do anything to harm humans, the two who are rushing to escape the crowd don't bother to care about them.But it would be unreasonable for them to ignore the guy who openly sold poisoned apples on Christmas Eve.
I don’t know if it’s to win sympathy and attract attention, but that guy cosplays as a little match girl—a girl in a red dress with a patched square scarf on her head is carrying a bamboo basket full of apples at the food court. Wandering at the gate of the street, and frequently stopped passers-by, asking them if they need to buy a Ping An fruit for their family or friends.
Maybe it was for the sake of flattery, or maybe it was because the girl selling apples looked sweet, and almost all the passers-by who were stopped bought her apples.Leaving aside which genius came up with the idea that an apple is a safe fruit, just looking at her basket of apples that are round and plump on the surface, rosy and fragrant, but actually hides a murderous intent, Zhou Zekai knew that she must eat this apple. It's not safe.
Jiang Botao also saw the strangeness in the apple. Seeing that the girl didn't seem to want them to buy an apple, he smiled and leaned over: "Hey, little sister, do you sell this apple?"
"Eh?" At that time, the girl was about to stop another uncle who was hugging his wife, and she was surprised to see Jiang Botao approach him, but she quickly replied with a smile, "Sell it~ Brother, you want to buy an apple." Do you give it to your girlfriend? On Christmas Eve, give me an apple, and you will be safe for the next year~"
"Hmm~ Young lady can really talk." Jiang Botao narrowed his eyes with a smile, showing a mouthful of small white teeth.
"Five yuan each." The girl picked up an apple and handed it over, but Jiang Botao pushed it away: "Miss, can I pick it myself?"
"Okay~" The girl generously handed over the basket on her elbow.
Jiang Botao carefully selected them, and then he sighed with feigned regret: "Sigh, the apples you sell have worms, how dare I give them away."
The girl who sold the apples changed her face, and then she returned to normal in an instant. She said with a smile, "Don't be kidding me. These apples are red and big, and the skin is smooth. There are no insect eyes. Where can there be insects?"
"Although there are no worm eyes on the outside, it doesn't mean that there are no worms in the apple..." Jiang Botao took a step forward and whispered in the girl's ear: "Eating too many of these apples with 'worms' will kill you, little one." My sister doesn't know, does she?"
The girl whose secret was exposed visibly trembled. Jiang Botao thought she would flee the scene with guilt, so he gave Zhou Zekai a wink who had already stood behind the girl calmly. The two of them prepared to pursue together.
In the next second, the girl actually slapped Jiang Botao backhanded!
I don't know when the girl turned red, but she threw the apple basket on Jiang Botao's shoulders and cursed loudly with the utmost grievance: "Stinky rascal! If you don't buy apples, forget it! Still touch me!"
Since it was at the gate of the food street, there were already many people coming and going, so when the girl yelled like this, it didn't take a second for passers-by to be attracted to her.Seeing that the gathering was almost complete, the girl threw the apple in her hand at Jiang Botao, and ran away crying.
Jiang Botao was directly stunned by her slap, and was hit by an apple all over his chest. Coupled with the whispering of the onlookers, there was a buzzing in his head at the moment, and he would not be able to calm down for a while.Things happened too fast, Zhou Zekai looked at Jiang Botao who was still in a daze, then at the girl who had already run away, gritted his teeth, squeezed out of the crowd and chased after the girl first.
Zhou Zekai believed that Jiang Botao could handle such a small scene.
Jiang Botao has indeed managed to handle it. Normally, he just needs to be thick-skinned, ignore the pointing and pointing of those onlookers, and just rush out.To say that Jiang Botao was just unlucky, the girl's fuss almost alarmed the nearby security personnel.It just so happened that the superior had just issued a document emphasizing the need to strengthen public security management in densely populated areas at the end of the year, so Jiang Botao was right on the gun.
So, Jiang Botao was taken to the security pavilion to have a cup of tea.
After finally using the "hint" to escape from the security management personnel, Jiang Botao chased into this alley following the spiritual guidance left by Zhou Zekai, and Zhou Zekai's side was fighting lively.
Jiang Botao was on fire in his heart, seeing that the girl who had changed back to the original form of a giant insect wanted to prick Zhou Zekai with those sharp poisonous pincers, at that moment, he was so angry that he picked up a stone and threw it After "changing" into a sharp blade, he rushed forward to join the battle.
Zhou Zekai already had the chance to win, and Jiang Botao's joining brought the battle to a swift end.
"Bah!" Jiang Botao couldn't hold back, and spat on the poisonous insect that was already lying on the ground dying: "You still 'touched you', you have so many feet, how can I move them?"
Zhou Zekai pursed his lips and smiled secretly: "It's the Gu mother."
In front of the two of them was a huge poisonous insect with a pair of spider claws and a hooked tail like a scorpion. Its mouthparts were as sharp as leeches, and its centipede-like body was covered with a deadly black-blue light. There are also spider hair clusters as thick as steel needles, which seem to be a collection of deadly poisonous insects.
"Isn't the worm in the apple a sub-gu?" Jiang Botao was startled, "It seems that this thing can't be kept."
"Yeah." Zhou Zekai nodded, looking down at the giant worm with killing intent in his eyes: As long as the Gu mother dies, those sub-gus that are eaten will take two days at most, and there will be no more. Worry for life.
At this moment, a scream came from behind the two of them.
The two subconsciously looked back at the same time, and saw a middle-aged man sitting on the ground, looking in their direction with horror on his face, obviously frightened by the huge Gu mother.
It can only be blamed on Zhou Zekai's poor choice of place. Although this alley is quiet, it's not like no one passed by.The two looked at each other, Zhou Zekai turned his head and continued to deal with the Gu mother, while Jiang Botao walked up to him with a relaxed expression, trying to pull the man up, and said "Hi, sir, I am "Help me to the end!" What did you see?" column team, congratulations on becoming an amateur guest of this issue! Are you satisfied with the monster model we made? Oh, by the way, have you seen the camera over there? Come and shoot with our lens Let's say hello!", while piercing the back of his head with a mental probe that can blur memory.
However, before Jiang Botao came to him, the man knelt down to the two of them.
"Two great immortals! Help!"
Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao took the shivering man to a food stall with few people on the side of the street, sat down for supper, and listened to his appeal along the way.
The man is Shen Qiang, an accountant.
Although the family conditions are not rich, the husband and wife are harmonious, and there is a three-year-old daughter. These days are peaceful and warm.However, several strange things happened at home this month: first, the wife could not sleep well at night, and always felt that someone was watching at the bedside; It was broken; it was hard for his daughter to stop burning, but he refused to go back to his small room to sleep. Shen Qiang had no choice but to let his daughter sleep with his wife, and went to sleep on the sofa by himself. The three-year-old daughter is sitting in front of his wife's dresser and applying makeup!She painted herself a big smiley face with lipstick, the bright red corners of her mouth were drawn all the way to the back of her ears, and coupled with her daughter's abnormally white painted face, Shen Qiang was so frightened that he almost lost control on the spot.
After that night, the daughter started to have a high fever again. Shen Qiang's wife was quite superstitious and believed that her daughter had bumped into something unclean, so she asked someone to contact a sorceress to see her daughter.The sorceress came over to have a look, burned some talisman water for the little girl to drink, and finally said with certainty that the evil spirit attached to Shen Qiang's daughter had been eliminated.Unexpectedly, tonight, the daughter developed a high fever again, and the wife sent Shen Qiang out to invite the sorceress again.As a result, the sorceress's house was empty, and Shen Qiang returned without success. It happened that on the way out of the sorceress's house, he ran into Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao who were dealing with the voodoo mother.
Shen Qiang, who witnessed the Gu mother's body, felt that Zhou Zekai and Jiang Botao must be immortals with real skills, unlike the sorceress who only knew how to dance and burn talisman papers, so he knelt down to them for help.
After listening to Shen Qiang's narration, Jiang Botao felt that his daughter might be possessed by a ghost, or a female ghost with great resentment.Poor little girl, not only was possessed by a ghost, but also filled with amulet water by that sorceress who pretended to be a ghost.It would be fine if they didn't encounter this kind of thing, but now they have to deal with it, and they have to deal with it until the end, not only because Wang Jiexi's prophecy has not yet been fulfilled, but also because of the sense of mission of being a special person.
"Let's do this." Jiang
