Chapter 72:
It is not difficult for Ren Zhinan to discuss "road closure". He is experienced and good at handling all kinds of mysterious events and supernatural phenomena, but this case is special. Under the close attention of Ren Qi and the members of the Mystery Department, there is no room for negligence in this case.
The case had just been concluded, and Ren Zhinan should have immediately returned to the headquarters to report and rest, but Mentianwei's enthusiastic invitation made him temporarily change his plan.
This group of people were brought together to participate in a dinner organized by Mentianwei.
This is a rare opportunity. This gathering is not only to celebrate the success of solving the case, but also for several people whose professions and abilities seem to have no connection. Only the dinner table can bring them together safely.
Lao Zhu buried his head silently and was repairing a pocket watch whose function was damaged due to heat. He looked attentively and stared at the magic weapon in his hand.
Under the light, he carefully examined every detail of the magic weapon, trying to find out the problem, but after guessing the reason for the malfunction of the magic weapon, he was stunned.
He pushed down a pair of small glasses on the bridge of his nose. He looked quite professional. While fiddling with his pocket watch, he murmured to himself: "Master Xun, has this magic weapon of yours been thrown into the fire? I used a nozzle. After cleaning for more than half an hour, the temperature still hasn't cooled down."
At this time, Men Tianwei came back from visiting the office area and his eyes drifted to the pocket watch in Lao Zhu's hand.
"Isn't this the one from Ji Gang?"
Men Tianwei noticed that Zhang Sheng printed the card for himself, with the word "Zhang Sheng" written on it, which made him suspicious.
He frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "... Ji Gang, have you changed your name?"
Zhang Sheng said vaguely: "My real name is too vulgar, so I changed my name to change my luck."
Men Tianwei did not expect that this whole thing When I visited the office on a day trip, I found that everything in this office was confusing.
He had always thought that "Master Xun" and "Zhang Sheng" were just nicknames among colleagues or unknown online names. Unexpectedly, the identity of the old classmate who had changed his appearance could be traced back to the late Qing Dynasty.
Really, amazing.
It took Mentianwei several hours to gradually accept this reality.
When he was in the ghost cave, everything around him seemed so unreal, and his experience also deeply shocked him - it was like there was a barrier of retrospective formation. It was not until his mother was dying that he heard the woman The cry from deep inside.
All of these are real scenes that he has personally experienced. Although it is contrary to common sense, he cannot deny its reality.
In the cubicle of the office, the extremely sick man's lips were bloodless, and his body continued to heat up, and the temperature lingered for a long time.
But strangely, there was a gloomy chill on the man's face, and his gums kept trembling.
Zhang Sheng discussed with Ren Zhinan: "Team leader Ren, I hope you will explain to Minister Ren this time that I will be responsible for supervising all movements of Ni Shisan."
Although the man felt uncomfortable, he did not fall asleep completely.
Zhang Sheng's low voice sounded in his ears, and he slowly opened his eyes: "I haven't asked Ren Qi to pay compensation yet."
He suddenly woke up.
The man didn't blink, and he lay still for a long time without turning over. Zhang Sheng thought that the man was too tired and fell asleep, and wanted to beg Ren Zhinan for mercy.
They agreed to settle the ghost cave case. Now that the place is sealed, they accidentally let the curse spirit escape. Logically speaking, Cui Yu should also be imprisoned in the headquarters for interrogation.
They must find the curse spirit as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
As the first person who has come into contact with the evil curse spirit, Cui Yu plays a vital role in finding the curse spirit. Together with Ren Zhinan, they decided to let Cui Yu move freely for the time being, with Zhang Sheng responsible for supervising his every move.
Cui Yu didn't seem to appreciate it.
He believes that he does not need the supervision of others, and he does not want to be the object of suspicion.
Ren Zhinan's suspicion of Cui Yu has lessened, but he still has concerns. He has not thought about the strategy of letting the tiger return to the mountain to find the source, but there are many ways to put a tracking mark on the curse spirit, but Cui Yu did nothing and simply replied: " It will reappear on its own."
This left Zhang Sheng helpless. He was responsible for removing the cursed spirit and killing the evil spirit. He could only watch the cursed spirit disappear without a trace.
Only through constant communication and negotiation can solutions to problems be found.
Zhang Sheng hoped that when Cui Yu's complexion recovered and the high fever subsided, he would communicate and negotiate immediately. If it didn't work, he would take action.
Cui Yu fell back and put one hand behind his head: "I'm hungry."
Zhang Sheng: "Just stay here and send a message if you want to eat. I'll bring it back to you."
Ren Zhinan will leave Wangcheng tomorrow, and tonight He couldn't take care of Cui Yu during the dinner party.
Worried that Qiao Mu's identity would be exposed and he would be ordered to be taken back for examination by the Crime Department, Zhang Sheng also quietly asked Ren Zhinan to keep the secret.
He took off the warm towel covering the man's face and washed it in the basin. Then he turned away and threw it on Cui Yu's forehead: "Zhinan will have to do business when he goes back. I don't just doubt you."
Ren Zhinan He spied the extremely obvious scar on Cui Yu's chest and asked after deep thought: "Zhang Sheng, you have to be responsible to the end. If the magic weapon loses control and causes any losses, can you..."
Zhang Sheng: "I know, I Take responsibility."
The man shook his hand, looked at the additional pinholes on the back of his hand, and complained to Zhang Sheng, "Is the container broken? Why don't you go look at Lao Zhu and ask him if he can fix it?
" Yu remembered the first time he met Tu Minglang. This strange young man who claimed to be a master of magic weapons tried to lure Zhang Sheng into the fire. Zhang Sheng at that time was much simpler than now, and he didn't lie to him. As a result, now I have met these two uncles and nephews Ren Qi, who have a lot of rules and regulations, and they impose restrictions on their own territory.
The more I thought about it, the worse my mood became, and my tone became sharper.
Zhang Sheng rolled his eyes at him: "It was you who ruined the bad thing. What am I saying? You have to rest when you are sick, but you have a strong mouth. If you were in good condition and encountered the curse spirit, you would have joined forces with me to purify it. You still need to worry about the future. Something happened?"
Cui Yu frowned and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Zhang Sheng, we clearly discussed it in the formation... um..."
Zhang Sheng covered the man's mouth and said unilaterally: "It's okay to say that, I I'm afraid that your magic power is too weak and you can't control the cursed spirit, causing me to lose my life.
Anyway , this matter depends on you. From now on, you must work hard and diligently to catch the cursed spirit. You must cooperate with me and bear the pressure for our crime department." At this point, Cui Yu finally understood what this person meant.
Deliberately quarreling with himself made Ren Zhinan feel uninterested in changing the topic.
Cui Yu moved his lips: "...Then you go. I don't eat oily food. Bring me some high-quality meat."
Before the man finished ordering the menu, Zhang Sheng felt a little regretful. Taking care of the sick was really troublesome, so he just wanted to enjoy a meal invited by his old classmates, and he had to think about what to bring Cui Yu?
After a while, Zhang Sheng said with a smile: "I think you look good. You are red but white, and white are purple. You just need to go out and get some fresh air."
Cui Yu:?
Zhang Sheng lifted the quilt and pulled the man out of bed: "Let's talk about the dinner party. It's not good to miss one person. You still have to go in person."
Cui Yu coughed and said, "Are you sure?"
Zhang Sheng shrugged and teased: " Anyway, you have nothing to do, and if you have the energy to retaliate, why not go out in person to fill your stomach, otherwise no one will be able to serve Boss Cui well?"
Cui Yu:...
*
Barbecue restaurant, living room.
Men Tianwei wrapped the roasted pork with lettuce and stuffed it into his mouth. He looked at Cui Yu with a smile: "My two best friends in high school are actually abnormal. What are the odds?"
Cui Yu rubbed the center of his eyebrows. The area on the back of his hand where the intravenous drip and acupuncture was applied was bruised because Zhang Sheng pulled it out too quickly.
"The meat is too oily, add some beef..."
Men Tianwei called to Qiao Mu and Lao Zhu who were sitting opposite: "I'm treating you today. Let's eat happily. I'm honored to be able to meet everyone in the office!"
Zhang Sheng was sitting there From the vent, the smoke billowed along the top of his head, and the greasy smell lingered in his hair.
But the man had not recovered from his illness and was unwilling to be smoked, so he refused to change seats.
Zhang Sheng protested: "How can anyone eat barbecue and turn on the warm mode? I'm almost overheated, brother!!"
Cui Yu: "It's not hot."
He did it on purpose! Just because he didn't let him rest at home, he was holding a grudge and deliberately retaliating.
Zhang Sheng was so angry that his teeth itched. He grabbed the standing electric fan and shook his head to get rid of the sweat on his forehead and back.
The man looked elegant when eating, and his face was calm and composed without a trace of sweat.
On the contrary, Yu Duo slurped down the meat wrapped in lettuce and stuffed with garlic. The garlic was so spicy that it made people sweat.
Yu Duo stretched out his hand to fan his face and smiled at Cui Yu: "Okay, you both have some virtue. Let's have dinner together and stop fighting each other. I'm tired of watching it. Look, Lao Zhu is sandwiched between the two of you. Is it easy in the middle?"
Lao Zhutu wanted to have some freedom in the office, so he worked with Zhang Sheng wholeheartedly. He rarely went to buffet restaurants, let alone big meals.
As soon as he entered the store, Yu Duo sneaked over and said, "Lao Zhu, you will sit between the boss and Zhang Sheng later. Keep an eye on them and don't fight again."
Lao Zhu used his hand to return the magic weapon . I sat down for a reason, but I still felt that the atmosphere was subtle.
Cui Yu's state of ease was really not fake. No matter whether Zhang Sheng confidently took away the meat from his plate or used an electric fan to blow the man's bun, the man always maintained his composure.
Qiao Mu sat opposite Zhang Sheng because he wanted to talk to Men Tianwei about soul transfer.
At this time, Zhang Sheng bit off the freshly roasted beef intestines, chewed and said: "Mumu, how was your chat with Men Tianwei? His magic power should have just appeared, and he is not proficient in using it. You can wait for him to become proficient for a while. Hui Wangcheng helps you."
Qiao Mu was grateful. She moved her broken hair behind her ears, revealing her beautiful and delicate earlobes, and said in a soft voice: "That would be too troublesome for you, Tianwei, but I want to see who the evil god is who created the curse spirit. It's time to say goodbye properly."
"Xie..." Zhang Sheng almost didn't say the last part of the sentence, thinking what the little girl was talking about. A tourist who can't even maintain his form in the human world actually dares to see the evil god?
Seeing the abnormal expressions of everyone, Qiao Mu softened his tone: "...Well, we should be able to wait, after all, the boss is the candidate for the evil god..."
Cui Yu's eyes suddenly changed, and with a bang, all the meat in the pot exploded to pieces.
Yu Duo's face was splashed with oil, but he didn't dare to say a word.
Zhang Sheng was silent and leaned aside.
Ren Zhinan's squinted eyes widened until his pupils were visible, and he suppressed a sentence: "Zhang Sheng, what's going on?"
Cui Yu looked at Qiao Mu, put down his chopsticks, clasped his hands together and sneered: "You haven't lost your memory."
Qiao Mu He timidly said: "Well, dinner is just for chatting... I'm afraid everyone still doesn't know, so I'd like to remind you what's wrong."
Zhang Sheng froze in place, and after a while he sighed: "Oh, I just want to be quiet. Let’s have a meal and talk about this later, okay?”
