Mystery

Li Yuan didn't enter the door, and left after delivering the things.

After he left, Shen Ke sat back on the sofa and flipped through her thick book.

The living room used to be empty, but now it is full of things, there are various boxes of colorful fruit and food sent by uncle Lu Ye, and those two big baskets that are so eye-catching that people can't ignore them at all.

Shen Ke withdrew her gaze, those things were too far away, under her eyelids were freshly boiled salted peanuts in a white transparent plastic bag.

She put the book aside and opened the plastic bag for the first time.

As soon as she opened it, there was a smell of fresh peanuts. Shen Ke picked up one of them, squeezed it lightly, and the salt water flowed out. into the mouth.

The salty water makes the peanuts taste better. After being pressed in the pressure cooker, the peanuts are no longer hard, but become soft and waxy.

Shen Ke kept eating, and when she came to her senses, a layer of peanut shells had already been spread in the trash can.

She put away the salted peanuts, went to the kitchen to wash her hands, and stayed silent for a while.

She remembers that when she was a child, grandma also liked to eat these things very much.

For example, the melons and sweet potatoes newly picked by old farmers in the countryside, the oranges grown in the orchard are generally more sour than sweet, and the fresh peanuts just picked in the new season are boiled in salt water in the same way when they are bought.

During the Chinese New Year, wild vegetables will be harvested, such as Artemisia quinoa that many people in Nanjiang love to eat.

This vivid memory suddenly opened the floodgate and gushed out.

After a while, Shen Ke just withdrew her thoughts and continued to read the book.

……

After the heavy rain, Nanjiang City is extraordinarily fresh, as if everything has been washed away by the rain, and both good and evil are exposed in front of people without any cover.

Zhou Juncheng was wet all over. He walked with one foot deep and the other shallow, and looked back from time to time.

He wiped his cell phone on the lapel of his clothes, and kept pressing it.

But the screen of the mobile phone has long been black, and it cannot be turned on anyway. The protective film on the screen has been cracked, and if you don't pay attention, you will cut your fingers.

He became more and more anxious, the surroundings were pitch black, and he could hardly see his fingers.

Zhou Juncheng patted his phone, and after taking three shots, his feet froze suddenly, and he ran forward in a panic.

This place is remote, the sewer system has not been improved, and there is stagnant water everywhere.

The water was dim and yellow, and the depth could not be seen clearly. Zhou Juncheng was running extremely fast, but suddenly his foot slipped and he fell to the ground with a slap.

He subconsciously raised his hand to prevent the phone from falling into the stinky ditch.

In summer, he was wearing a pair of sports shorts. When he fell like this, his knee was instantly torn and one of his shoes fell off. Zhou Juncheng couldn't care less about it, so he ran away, pressing the phone's power button all the time.

Finally, the phone screen lit up.

Zhou Juncheng was ecstatic, and was about to press 110, when he heard a delicate female voice behind him, "Juncheng, didn't you say to go to the bathroom? Why did you come here? Are you lost?"

Hearing this voice, Zhou Juncheng's hands couldn't help trembling. His hands kept trembling. The phone fell to the ground with a slap and sank into the yellow muddy water. The alarm call was not dialed.

He didn't dare to turn his head, and stood stiffly in place, beads of sweat dripping down his forehead one by one.

"Come back with me, they are waiting for you! Didn't you agree to play games together? You shouldn't be afraid, right?"

Zhou Juncheng turned around abruptly when he heard the word "fear", but his legs softened and he sat down in the water all of a sudden.

In front of him, not far away, stood a girl wearing a white cotton dress. Her clothes were wet. If it was normal, Zhou Juncheng would definitely have imagination.

But now he just wanted to scream. The white dress was stained red with blood, and the girl's face was also covered in blood, making her look extraordinarily ferocious.

The girl suddenly giggled, "You're not really scared, are you? This can't be done!"

Zhou Juncheng's scream pierced the night sky...

……

Because she had to move baskets to the city bureau, Shen Ke didn't ride a motorcycle today, but still drove the white off-road vehicle that picked Li Yuan up yesterday.

Li Yuan cheerfully got into the co-pilot, and shook the breakfast in his hand in front of Shen Ke.

"The homemade black soy milk and steamed buns. Such a down-to-earth breakfast goes well with baskets. How about you say that I'm your second uncle from the countryside in a while, see if Team Chen believes it or not?"

Shen Ke drove the car, "You still need a straw hat, the second uncle is too young, you have fake eyes, you have to be Uncle Li in the village, and the big yellow dog at the west end of the village will call you grandpa when they see it."

"Well, the mother of the big yellow dog in the east of the village gave birth to seven dogs, and they called me grandpa and grandpa together! The big dog is infinitely powerful, and the second dog has clairvoyant eyes..." Li Yuan said, not waiting for Shen Ke to yell at him, but he said it himself.

"Good guy, it's showing your age. People who have watched this cartoon are called grandpa, it's not impossible!"

Shen Ke shook her head, "Everyone in our group has an average IQ, which is a negative number. Excluding you, the average IQ is [-]."

"You can't do that! If you want to scold people directly like me, what should I do if I don't understand? You have to say that your two hundred and five have lowered the IQ level of the office."

As he spoke, he laughed, and the car quickly stopped at the gate of the Municipal Bureau.

Li Yuan was not afraid of other people's strange eyes, so he directly unloaded the basket and jumped to the second floor with a pole.

Shen Ke followed behind him without looking sideways, walking swaggeringly, "Should I lead a horse?"

Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then realized, "Haha, did you watch it when you were young? You carry the burden, and I lead the horse? Shen Ke, you can tell jokes now! How funny!"

When the two walked into the office, they saw Chen Mo eating pickled cabbage buns.

There is no meat in the sauerkraut buns in the cafeteria. It is basically some meat scum that has been boiled in oil.

"It's just in time, and I can't take a vacation. There is a case. On Yulin Road in the northern district of the city, someone drove in the morning and found a dead body. The name of the deceased was Zhou Juncheng, an algorithm engineer for an Internet company."

"Colleagues in the jurisdiction found his ID card and his mobile phone on him, but the mobile phone had been soaked in water. According to colleagues at the scene, Zhou Juncheng died in a tragic manner. Everyone should be mentally prepared."

As Chen Mo spoke, he realized that Li Yuan came in carrying a burden, "Where can I get so many juicy watermelons? You guys, our office is going to become a supermarket."

"Clean up and prepare to go to the scene to see, Xiaomeng stays behind."
