Sheng Cheng'an even ignored the sound Pei Nuo had just made and stared straight at the little snake that was only a dozen centimeters away from Zhou Luancheng.
But he also knew that he couldn't warn anyone at this moment, for fear of scaring the little snake, so he could only blink hard at Zhou Luancheng.
Zhou Luancheng moved his body, as if he was going to stand up, which frightened Sheng Chengan so much that he almost jumped out of his skin and almost screamed. He heard that snakes in the south are very poisonous, and the brighter the color, the more poisonous they are.
He didn't dare to imagine the consequences if Zhou Luancheng was bitten. Just when he was frightened and wanted to close his eyes, he saw Zhou Luancheng squatting down, then quickly turned around and moved like lightning, grabbing the green snake three inches below its head.
The other hand quickly reached over and twisted the snake's head. Blood spurted out, and the snake's body twisted a few times before drooping limply in Zhou Luancheng's hand.
Sheng Chengan was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth. After a long while, he exclaimed, "I'm scared to death. This is too fucking scary. People say there are more snakes in the south. How come there are so many?"
Zhou Luancheng looked down at the snake in his hand, frowned and remained silent for a few seconds: "Hurry up and pack up, we'll leave now."
Sheng Chengan was still a little puzzled: "You are not worried that other snakes will come to take revenge, right? I also heard that snakes are spiritual..."
As he spoke, he patted Pei Nuo's back, and suddenly realized a question: "Did Xiao Nuo speak just now? Xiao Nuo, call out again?"
Pei Nuo hugged his arms, tilted her little face up, stared at him, pursed her lips and refused to speak again.
Sheng Chengan rubbed her head and said, "It seems that Xiaonuo can talk. Don't be nervous. We can learn slowly."
Seeing that Sheng Chengan didn't take his words seriously at all, Zhou Luancheng tried to coax Pei Nuo instead, so he threw the snake's body away and said, "It's not even the Waking of Insects yet, how could a hibernating snake come out? It's cold and dewy in the south during this period of time, so even if a snake comes out, it will be stiff and motionless."
Sheng Chengan then turned around. After hearing what Zhou Luancheng said, his first reaction was: "Are you saying that someone did something? Was the snake deliberately led here?"
Zhou Luancheng nodded: "Let's leave first and talk about it on the way."
Sheng Cheng'an quickly packed Pei Nuo's bag. Fortunately, his luggage had not been unpacked yet, so he could carry it and leave soon.
In just a few minutes, Sheng Cheng'an went out with a bag in one hand and Pei Nuo and Zhou Luancheng in the other.
Zhou Luancheng was carrying his and Sheng Chengan's boxes: "Be gentle, we don't need to say hello, let's go quickly."
The three of them left the yard, and Li's father and mother did not come out of the house either. They probably didn't hear anything.
Zhou Luancheng slowed down only after he reached the center of the town.
Sheng Chengan took a deep breath and looked at the stone road that had no street lights and was illuminated entirely by moonlight. The whole town was dark and silent. There was nothing to entertain himself at the moment, and he was afraid of wasting electricity, so he ate his meal and went to sleep.
"Where are we going? The hostel is closed."
Zhou Luancheng glanced around and said, "Let's go to the police station and find a place to stay at night."
Sheng Chengan said, "You are really thoughtful. I don't believe that there are still people who want to harm us after we go to the police station."
No one knew how Zhou Luancheng knew the location of the police station, but he seemed very familiar with the road and successfully led Sheng Chengan and Pei Nuo to the door of the police station.
The police station in the small town is also very simple, with a small yard without even a gate. There is a row of bungalows inside. In front of the bungalows are parked a somewhat old jeep and a three-wheeled motorcycle.
The yard was also pitch black, without even a hint of light.
Sheng Chengan couldn't help but mutter, "Is anyone here? There shouldn't even be anyone on duty."
Zhou Luancheng looked around, walked over to the jeep, reached into the open window, and honked the horn twice.
In the dark night, the horn sounded particularly loud, causing the dogs in the surrounding houses to bark.
Sheng Cheng'an was also startled and muttered to himself, he didn't expect Zhou Luancheng to be so resourceful. He looked gentle and polite, but he was decisive in doing things.
After a while, a light came on in one of the rooms, and someone came out shouting and cursing in dialect, obviously thinking that some idle person had honked at him.
He opened the door and turned on the lights in the yard. He squinted to see the three people in the yard. They were all unfamiliar faces. Their attitudes were very bad. They asked in stiff Mandarin: "Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Zhou Luancheng took out his work ID and letter of introduction: "I'm from the Beijing Public Security Bureau. I need your cooperation on some work."
When the other party heard this, their attitude immediately became respectful. To them, Beijing was an extremely sacred place, and those who came from there also had a halo around them.
"So you are from Beijing. Come in and sit down. My name is Chen Tiezhu."
He enthusiastically invited Zhou Luancheng and the other two into the house. Now that the distance was closer, he could see the three people more clearly. He saw that although Zhou Luancheng and Sheng Chengan were dressed in ordinary clothes, their temperament should not be underestimated.
Chen Tiezhu muttered to himself, he was indeed a person from the imperial city, he had a noble air about him. Look, as soon as he stood in this room, he felt a sense of oppression, a feeling of oppression that made him dare not speak loudly.
Thinking of this, he secretly glanced at Pei Nuo beside Sheng Chengan and felt that he looked familiar. He looked at him a few more times and was surprised: "Isn't this Pei Nuo from Grandma Li's family? Why is he with you?"
Zhou Luancheng was not surprised that he knew Pei Nuo. After all, the town was not big, and anyone who was born and raised here basically knew everyone.
"You know her?"
Chen Tiezhu nodded quickly: "Yes, I know her. Grandma Li and I live not far from each other, so I can be considered to have watched Pei Nuo grow up."
After asking Zhou Luancheng and Sheng Chengan to sit down, he hurriedly went to get a copper stove to boil water for tea.
While busying himself, he would glance at Pei Nuo from time to time.
Without waiting for Zhou Luancheng and Sheng Chengan to ask, he took the initiative to say: "Didn't Pei Nuo go to Beijing? Why did he come back with you? He looks much better and has gained a lot of weight since we were in Zhulin Town?"
Zhou Luancheng looked at Chen Tiezhu calmly: "You said you watched Pei Nuo grow up? How old are you this year?"
Chen Tiezhu scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "I am 28 years old this year. Although I am eight or nine years older than Pei Nuo, I have really watched her grow up. I still remember when she first came to Zhulin Town, she was so small and very beautiful. Everyone on our street went to watch the fun."
Then he sighed and said, "It's a pity that such a good-looking child is sick."
"Comrade, you haven't told me what case you are here to handle yet? How can we help you? Although our police station is not big and we don't have many people, we will definitely help wherever we can."
Zhou Luancheng was silent for a moment: "How many people did you send out?"
Chen Tiezhu counted and said, "Three, but two of them asked for leave because of family matters, so I am the only one left."
Sheng Chengan and Zhou Luancheng were both silent. This police station was even more shabby than they had imagined...
