Book of Darkness

(2-a, head of household: Xiang Qihang) Xiang Qihang walked fearfully in the dark and deep grove, struggling to move his steps, but did not dare to walk on the brightly lit road outside, until he was about to approach Zhiwei Seaview Garden Only then did he step out of the grass carefully, like a spy.

He hurried upstairs and opened the door, leaned his head on the bed, covered his head with the quilt, and panted heavily.

After calming down, Xiang Qihang took off his sweaty shirt and went to the bathroom.He didn't intend to turn on the light, anyway, he knew exactly what structure was inside, so he wouldn't slip if he touched it in the dark.It's just that he doesn't want others to see the light in the bathroom window.

When he was about to touch the doorknob, he suddenly felt a strong sense of discomfort, turned around and ran away.The bathroom door was knocked open with a bang, and a black figure rushed out from inside, chasing after him with a shining sharp blade.

Xiang Qihang tried his best to rush to the gate to open it, but hurried footsteps could be heard outside the door.He shocked everyone, and a hint of despair flashed indistinctly. This time, he was attacked from both sides, and his limit was really reached.More than once in his nightmares, he had a premonition that death was approaching infinitely, and this time he was finally going to...

But at this moment, the knife-wielding man in the bathroom stopped halfway, then skillfully turned to the balcony, leaped neatly from above, and disappeared.The second floor is not high for a skilled person, besides, this person must have been preparing for a long time.

Shouted outside the door: "We are the police, please open the door!"

Stretching his neck, Xiang Qihang swallowed a mouthful of cold halazi, hesitated for a while, and then opened the door tremblingly.He looked intently, and there were two young people outside, a man and a woman.The man quickly showed his ID and said solemnly: "We are members of the Anti-Mafia Team of the Criminal Police Team of the Municipal Public Security Bureau. We would like to ask some questions. Please actively cooperate with the investigation and fulfill the obligations of a citizen."

"Please...please sit down." Xiang Qihang was a little dazed.

The woman beckoned him to sit down, and sat down on the sofa herself, saying, "Don't be nervous. My name is Yin Xinshui, and his name is Yang Zhaolin. We are investigating a case of serial violence. Do you usually read newspapers? Or watch TV?"

Xiang Qihang said hesitantly, "I don't think so much."

Yin Xinshui nodded: "Then go online?" Her eyes were shining with indisputable seriousness, and they fell on the screen of an assembly machine on the computer desk.

"Sometimes."

"Have you heard of the recent big anti-crime case in Yanzhou City?" Yang Zhaolin asked very tacitly, "Miao Fang and Liu Yuhe's criminal organization violent injury case? They used usury, debt collection, money laundering, and smuggling Waiting for illegal behavior to gain huge profits, they were all shot dead by the police decisively in the end."

"I seem to have heard that the crime was solved around here, right? During that time, I slept soundly at night. Even if there was a shootout between the police and robbers, I thought it was firecrackers... Does what you said have anything to do with me? "Xiang Qihang was always at a loss.

"Of course. Before they were shot dead, our comrades who were guarding found that they were always looking at the windows of your house, and they may have evil intentions against you." As soon as Yin Xinshui finished speaking, he directed an extremely sharp extension at Xiang Qihang .

"Me?" Xiang Qihang's reaction was too intense, his whole body trembled as if bitten by a snake, and he pressed the edge of the sofa, "I... I didn't do anything... How could I offend the underworld?"

"Don't get excited, we're just speculating."

Yin Xinshui re-examined him, and felt that his appearance was really unflattering: his nostrils were upturned, and a few weed-like nose hairs were raised high up like an uprising, his eyes were small and dull, but his mouth was very big and ugly. She is just an ordinary little person.Look at the furnishings at home are quite ordinary, even if there is such a computer, it is about 3000 yuan to assemble the goods on the street stall, the overall layout is not directly proportional to the luxurious appearance of this community.

Yin Xinshui couldn't help asking: "You don't look rich, it's not easy to afford this house? The annual cost of this house is not something ordinary people can afford, right?"

Xiang Qihang said timidly, "It's my good luck. I caught up with the housing allocation just a year after entering the unit..."

"Oh? Is this house allocated by your unit? Ordinary units only allocate houses built by employees... What do you do?"

"I'm at Zhiweixuan..."

"Oh, that's no wonder, this is a brand under the Qianlong Group, and this community is also a work of the Qianlong Group." Yang Zhaolin pinched a pinch of Yahuazi, "Is that the branch of the commercial housing outside the Zhiwei Seaview Garden? That's really good, you leave home It's so close, it's convenient to go to work."

"No, I'm at the headquarters of Zhiweixuan, which is Zhiweixuan Food and Entertainment Co., Ltd. under the Qianlong Group."

Yang Zhaolin said "Oh", in fact, he was knowingly asking, if this kid's work unit is very close to home, there must be something wrong with coming home so late.He mainly wanted to see if Xiang Qihang was pretending to be honest.

Although Zhiweixuan is not a government office or public institution, it is the most popular restaurant chain in the city. Its expensive homes and furniture do not affect the consumption enthusiasm of the general public at all. The delicacy of several signature dishes has been deified and spread by word of mouth among the people of Yanzhou. It seems that even the chefs of the top five-star hotels in the city can hardly make comparable dishes.The monthly salary of ordinary waiters in Zhiweixuan will not be less than 2000 yuan (their attitude is very bad, and they always quarrel with customers, but customers still flock to it, just because the hardware of the food is so good, everyone can only treat poor attitude as a restaurant It’s a big feature, I like to talk about it), a large number of college students majoring in diet and even biology are trying to squeeze in, even the families with relatively well-off families in the city have tried their best to use various connections to send their children, and they are flocking to them. Because not only the annual salary is generous, but also the enviable dividends at the end of the year.

"Then what degree do you have?"

"I signed up for an amateur chef class after high school..."

Yin Xinshui became interested: "Then your cooking must be delicious?" Seeing that a humble person like Xiang Qihang nodded confidently, she hurriedly said: "Teach me when you have time..." She really hopes to be a master The food is so good that Liu Yan is full of praise for him.

Yang Zhaolin coughed, reminding her that she had strayed too far from the topic, and asked again: "Recall carefully, have you sinned against anyone recently, but you didn't realize it yourself?"

Xiang Qihang still shook his head lifelessly.

Seeing that they couldn't find anything, Yang Zhaolin and Yin Xinshui stood up, shook hands with him one by one, and said: "As soon as you have a clue, let us know immediately, and pay attention to protecting your own safety. If you find anything wrong, don't hesitate to let us know." , Call the police immediately!"

After seeing off the two young policemen, Xiang Qihang was drained of blood in an instant, and collapsed on the dilapidated yellow sofa, clutching his chest, gasping for breath, and gradually calmed down after a while, and then Lost in thought.

Suddenly, the phone rang, and after a while, Xiang Qihang hesitated to pick it up, only to hear that the other end seemed to be located in a bustling downtown street. This kind of roadside phone, according to the current technical level, it is difficult for the police to monitor it.There came a deep and savage voice: "You know who I am. Why did you call the police?"

Xiang Qihang hastily explained: "No...no! They found it by themselves, what kind of Miao...something wants to kill me..."

The other party said sharply: "They can't kill you, we will kill you too. But as long as you are obedient, disappear from Yanzhou immediately and never come back in this life - and your descendants are not allowed to come back, then you are safe. No one I won't trouble you again. How are you?"

Xiang Qihang almost begged: "I...I will never confide a word to outsiders! I...I will gradually forget it, so...please don't keep deepening my memory...I finally came to Yan In a coastal city like Zhouzhou, it is necessary to start a career from a young age, and then take over my parents to be a filial piety... I have such a good job now, how can I just give up? Go back to the countryside to plant For a lifetime, there will be no chance... Please be accommodating... Please..."

"It's better to be an unknown farmer than to be a lifeless city dweller by planting for a lifetime."

Xiang Qihang swallowed his saliva, and continued: "I will keep my mouth shut and will not tell anyone. Please tell... tell those people, I am definitely not a person who backtracks... Apart from being greedy for material life, I also hate my You may not know these hands, but... but those people know that it would be a pity to use my hands for farming!"

The other party seemed to have choked out the cigarette, took a deep breath, and said leisurely: "Since you are so ignorant, you should prepare for the funeral."

The phone hangs up.
