Chapter 0118 The human heart is more evil than ghosts (please subscribe)
Outside the coffee shop, Master Liu was there with his hands folded across his chest, as if he had everything in his grasp.
The female assistant is very qualified. She appears in time when she is needed. When she is not needed, she is as transparent as air.
After looking at the time, the female assistant frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Master, they have been in for more than five minutes. Is there any change of mind?"
"How far can it be changed?" Master Liu smiled leisurely, "I am the only one who has the final say on the situation in Yunshan Times Square, understand? If they want to divide the appearance fee, they should not make any mistakes. Otherwise, if the situation worsens,
Then it won’t be this price anymore.”
The female assistant nodded thoughtfully.
Step aside and say nothing more.
Just then, there was a bang in the coffee shop.
It was as if the wall had been knocked open. The sound was very dull but extremely loud.
The female assistant was surprised: "Master, those ghosts of yours... they won't attack Commander Yan and those in high places, right?"
"Impossible!" Master Liu's tone was very firm.
"Go in and have a look."
Although Master Liu was confident, he was a little suspicious when he saw that the high place and Chief Yan had not come out for a long time and there was so much noise inside.
Entering the coffee shop, Master Liu called out: "Sir Yan? Director Gao?"
The cafe was empty and there was no response.
It was as if the two people who had just entered were not inside at all.
Something is wrong.
Master Liu walked to the private room with the door ajar and called out again.
Still no response.
Master Liu gently opened the door, but there was no one inside.
Pushing the door further in, there was suddenly another bang.
Behind the door panel, Director Gao's body fell to the ground, his head was tilted to one side, and his neck was obviously staggered. It looked like it had been twisted by an external force.
There was a big hole in the wall on the side.
The hole was so large that it looked like it had been opened manually.
The materials used inside this kind of shopping mall are not particularly strong, but it doesn't mean that they can be broken open by knocking them open.
I did hear a dull sound just now. Could it be that Chief Yan broke open the wall and slipped through the next door?
Master Liu was a little dumbfounded.
What's happening here?
He never imagined that Chief Yan and Director Gao would kill each other?
Could it be that the two of them had some unresolved interests and there was internal strife?
If they want to have internal strife, Master Liu doesn't care at all. But now is obviously not the time for internal strife.
He, Mr. Liu, is still waiting for Director Gao and Chief Yan to cash in the reward for killing ghosts!
After such a big fuss, can the reward still count?
Master Liu even doubted that if Director Gao dies, will the appearance fee promised before be fulfilled?
Won't it end up in vain, with no one left behind?
"Master, how could this happen?" The female assistant was obviously dumbfounded. She obviously couldn't understand what the operation was.
"What the hell, are you asking me, Mr. Liu, to work in vain? What does Yan Tutou mean? By killing Director Gao, are you trying to deny your guilt?"
But the female assistant couldn't help but said: "Master, did Chief Yan really kill Director Gao? Why do I feel something is wrong?"
"What's wrong?"
"I felt something was wrong when Chief Yan came in alone. He didn't have any motive to kill Director Gao, right? There was a deep bond of common interests between us. Killing Director Gao would mean that this bond was broken.
. Especially at this time, if you kill Director Gao, wouldn’t that be cutting off your own money? And, wouldn’t it complicate the situation? His dignified top brass in the Operations Bureau killed Director Gao almost right under our noses. Aren’t they afraid of us identifying him?
Did he finally climb to this position and murder his subordinates? Does he still want to be a fool?"
The female assistant's thinking is very clear.
After her analysis, Master Liu also felt that something was wrong.
"Could it be that there is a third person in this cafe?"
"It's hard to say whether there is a third person, maybe some other evil spirit?"
"Impossible!" Master Liu firmly denied, "I reiterate again, there are absolutely no other evil spirits in this Yunshan Times Square!"
"Then maybe... Chief Yan is not Chief Yan at all, but was changed by evil spirits?"
"You mean...replicator?" Master Liu lost his voice.
"Everything is possible!"
Master Liu murmured: "This is a bit interesting. The mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole follows behind?"
"Master, in my opinion, whoever killed Director Gao must be found. Otherwise, it is very likely to become a hidden danger. This plan is very likely to be destroyed."
"Damn it, damn it!" Master Liu was extremely annoyed.
If the situation continues to develop like this, his appearance fee and the reward for killing ghosts may all be wasted, which he will never allow.
"Master, could it be Director Luo from Operations Division 3 who is behind this?"
"them?"
"Don't forget, the case of Star City's replicators is handled by their Operations Division 3. It's entirely possible for him to falsely report the number of replicators and keep one or two replicators around, right?"
I have to say that this female assistant is also very imaginative.
Moreover, her reasoning seemed very reasonable.
Master Liu's face looked very ugly.
"Have these bastards ever entered the mall?"
"Master, it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes only a moment. You have raised several ghost slaves, why should you be reserved and release them all at once? The shopping mall is so big, I don't believe where they can hide with just a few of them? According to me, you
You shouldn't rush to let the ghost slaves attack the two subordinates at the top. Although this can create panic and force them to pay extra rewards, but in this way, the rhythm is disrupted. It feels like the situation is obviously out of control now..."
Master Liu patted his head with some annoyance.
It was indeed a bit too hasty and too much force.
In fact, he had never cared much about the whereabouts of those people in Luo Chu.
What he cares about is how to get the appearance fee, and how to intimidate Director Gao and Chief Yan into losing their minds, so that they can be willing to pay them.
The so-called fierce ghosts and the so-called hexagrams were completely created by him.
There is only one starting point, take advantage of the situation and gain more benefits.
As for killing two innocent people?
In the eyes of people like them, it's not much different from swatting two flies to death.
As long as it's within their plan, no one can die.
"Tell me, what should we do now?" Master Liu asked the female assistant.
"We still have to find those people, and we must not let them get out alive! As long as these people are dead, what happens inside is not ours to decide? By then the problem will be solved, and there will be one less person to share the money. It seems.
Isn’t it a loss?”
Master Liu's eyes lit up.
It seems that this is really what happened.
As long as the Yunshan Times Square case is settled and the Action Bureau is given an explanation, are you still afraid that they won't give you an appearance fee? Are you still afraid that they won't give you additional remuneration?
No reward?
At worst, it's better to have some more ghosts.
It's not Master Liu who has the final say whether it's haunted or not?
When Master Liu was feeling proud, suddenly a crashing sound came from the corridor, like the sound of breaking glass.
The two looked at each other and rushed out of the corridor together.
Just two or three seconds after they rushed out of the corridor.
On the other side of the hole in the wall, a figure emerged. It was Jiang Yue disguised as Commander Yan.
I saw him reaching for a chair, and then a mobile phone appeared in his hand.
The phone is still in recording mode.
Jiang Yue turned off the recording, quickly dodged into the hole, and disappeared without a trace.
Now, he has basically figured out the ins and outs of the whole thing.
The strange incident in Yunshan Times Square was a man-made conspiracy from beginning to end.
The hundreds of people missing from the mall are definitely being held hostage!
And this Master Liu is most likely the same group of people.
As for who the force behind it is, Jiang Yue currently has no way of knowing. However, as long as Master Liu does not die, there is always a chance to figure it out.
After hundreds of people in the shopping mall were held hostage, the forces behind them bribed Chief Yan, Director Gao and others.
Therefore, Chief Yan personally took action in the case of Yunshan Times Square.
In fact, I'm not here to investigate the case at all, but just to wipe my ass and find a suitable explanation.
However, Chief Yan and Director Gao, who were wiping their butts, were unwilling to be left alone and colluded with Master Liu to defraud another appearance fee.
Some of this information was obtained by Jiang Yue from Director Gao.
Some of them were analyzed through the conversation between Master Liu and the female assistant just now.
What made Jiang Yue's hair stand on end was that, with his position as director, he couldn't even explain clearly what the forces behind him were.
It can be seen that this force is definitely extraordinary.
Is it normal for someone who can make the top brass of the Operations Bureau, Chief Yan, to compromise and obey orders obediently?
How could such a terrifying force occupy a place like Star City?
Could it be that the strange world has penetrated into Star City?
This force is not a human force at all, but a strange force?
It's a pity that Director Gao can't give definite answers to these questions.
Director Gao was naturally killed by Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue, who was such a scum who ate people's food and did nothing for others, not only didn't feel uncomfortable, but felt an inexplicable sense of pleasure when he killed him.
Entering the strange era, Jiang Yue has experienced many strange events, and his mentality is no longer restricted by the rules of the past.
Although killing is not easy.
But sooner or later we have to take this step.
The ancient magic circle and the Ten Jue Death Lands are now confirmed to be Master Liu’s lies.
What Jiang Yue didn't expect was that Director Gao's two men were actually killed by the ghost slaves raised by Master Liu. This really refreshed Jiang Yue's knowledge.
The human heart can be so evil.
Just for a mere extra reward, people who seemed to be in the same boat were killed at will.
After killing him, he pretended to be a ghost.
Well, Master Liu was very confident before, claiming that he had a secret method that could search out the living people in the mall, and he must have relied on the ghost slaves who were also raised as livestock.
After figuring out the truth of the matter, Jiang Yue's depression eased a little.
Jiang Yue is not afraid of ghost slaves or anything like that.
Jiang Yue quickly went down the corridor and returned to the previous women's clothing store from the other side.
Luo Chu and Sangou were already very anxious.
There was ping-ping-ping-pong-ping outside, there were screams, gunshots, and broken glass, but they could only worry.
Seeing Jiang Yue back, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Luo Chu, earlier today, the people they sent in were either missing or lost, right?"
"right."
"Then those they sent are all from Operations 5, right?"
"This is the jurisdiction of the Fifth Bureau. Of course, Lao Gao sent his elite. In fact, he only sent three or four people."
Jiang Yue's face was full of surprise.
This can explain it.
There are no ghosts or mazes in this Yunshan Times Square. Where can you get lost? Where can you disappear as soon as you enter?
Most likely the people from Operations 5 were following Director Gao's instructions and deliberately cooperating with the show!
"Xiao Jiang, what's going on now?"
"The situation is quite complicated..." Jiang Yue kept the story short and explained the general situation.
After Luo Chu listened, he listened to the recording of the conversation between Master Liu and the female assistant given by Jiang Yue. He was stunned and felt bad.
He would have never imagined that such a strange thing in Yunshan Times Square was a scam from beginning to end?
Moreover, all parties involved in this bureau are still scheming against each other and taking advantage of others?
Luo Chu took a deep breath, collected his messy thoughts, and asked.
"Xiao Jiang, if it was man-made, where did those hundreds of people go?"
"You must have seen the surveillance at various entrances outside the mall, right? Since then, have there been any suspicious vehicles or suspicious people?"
"No, absolutely not! How many vehicles are needed to transport hundreds of people? Even if it's a bus, it's going to be quite a lot, right? There's such a big movement, there's no way the surveillance cameras can't see it!"
"So, I suspect that either there is a secret passage in this mall. Or, these people didn't leave at all and are still in the mall!"
"Still in the mall? It shouldn't be, right?"
"Luo Chu, this matter may involve the top brass of the Star City Supernatural Action Bureau. Are you sure you want to wade into this muddy water?"
Luo Chu narrowed his slender eyes and said solemnly: "I don't care whether he is a senior or not, as long as he does evil, I will follow him!"
"good very good!"
Jiang Yue said: "If what I predict is correct, the ghost slaves raised by Master Liu will soon find their way here."
If it hadn't been for Master Liu's small calculation before, in order to obtain extra rewards, he transferred the ghost slaves to kill people and intimidate Director Gao and "Chief Yan", it is estimated that those ghost slaves would have found Sangou and the others long ago.
Now, Master Liu and the female assistant have reached an agreement that they are the target.
"Well done!" Sangou was eager to give it a try.
After passing the large battle formation at Panshiling, the few livestock ghost slaves really couldn't scare Jiang Yue and the others.
However, Jiang Yue did not want to confront Master Liu head-on at this time.
Now that they are facing each other head-on, their true strength must be revealed, which will be detrimental to the subsequent investigation.
Luo Chu's thoughts were obviously the same as Jiang Yue's.
"Xiao Jiang, in my opinion, it is not appropriate for us to get entangled with this magician now. How about we go out first, and I will gather the people and equipment."
If there are hundreds of living people in a shopping mall, no matter how well they are hidden, a few police dogs or a few life detectors will be enough.
This is not a difficult job.
"Luo Chu, please think carefully. Once you lift this cover, it means breaking up with certain people. Even the force you offended is so powerful that you can't believe it. That person can make you disappear from the world in a matter of minutes.
kind."
This is not Jiang Yue threatening Luo Chu.
The forces behind all this definitely have this ability.
Even Chief Yan, a senior executive who is several levels higher than Luo Chu, has to be cowardly. With Luo Chu's status, he really can't handle it.
"Xiao Jiang, do you know how many years I have been doing this?"
"Five years? Ten years?"
"Twenty years! I am thirty-six this year. When I was sixteen, I joined the special department. From that day on, I vowed to fight all evil until the end. Because, that year, I lost
I killed all my relatives! Since then, I have not married, not had children, have not visited any relatives or classmates, alienated all relationships, and have always left myself alone. Do you know why?"
"Because, except for this one hundred pounds of flesh, I want to let myself have nothing to lose! In this way, I will never be afraid, and I can always be at the forefront when encountering danger!"
"So, do you think I will be afraid?"
Luo Chu's slender eyes were opened wider than ever before, staring at Jiang Yue seriously.
For a moment, Jiang Yue was speechless.
Facing Luo Chu's eyes, Jiang Yue felt ashamed.
He has always felt that Luo Chu was tricking him, but now it seems that he has been tricking Luo Chu?
At this moment, Jiang Yue understood many reasons that he didn't understand before.
Why did Luo Chuta dare to slam the table with his superiors?
Why does he always dare to start strange cases even though he doesn't have many cards?
Why is Lao Han so timid, but he, Luo Chu, dares to go to the morgue in the middle of the night to dig up corpses?
Because he has nothing to fear.
Because he feels he has nothing to lose!
"Let's go downstairs."
Luo Chu greeted in a calm tone.
A group of four people walked toward the fire escape and went down the fire stairs.
As soon as they got down to the first floor, Sangou suddenly winked at Jiang Yue.
Jiang Yue understood something in his heart and knew that a ghost was approaching.
Luo Chu was now also familiar with Jiang Yue and San Gou's rhythm. He took out his gun very cooperatively and, together with Yang Cong, protected Jiang Yue and San Gou.
Just as they were waiting, Sangou suddenly relaxed and was extremely surprised.
"Second brother, this ghost actually retreated on its own. It seems like it is afraid of us?"
In fact, without Sangou's reminder, Jiang Yue felt that the faint ghost energy seemed to be retreating. Based on Jiang Yue's intuition, the strength of this ghost slave was not as strong as Zhao Shouyin's ghost slave, or even not as good as it.
In other words, Master Liu's ability to control ghosts is most likely not as good as Zhao Shouyin's.
Of course, a pervert like Zhao Shouyin is inherently weird, and there may not be one among millions of people. He is not only a master of evil arts, but also a psychopath. The most important thing is that he does not like to join the world. He only lives in Yunxi Town and Panshiling.
Engage in action and not be fooled by the colorful worldly things at all.
When it comes to being able to endure loneliness, Master Liu is completely incomparable.
The ghost slaves retreated, and of course Jiang Yue and the others would not pursue them. The three of them walked along the west gate and walked out of the mall smoothly.
It's almost noon outside.
Of course, martial law is still in place around Yunshan Times Square.
After leaving the mall, the mobile phone signal was restored.
"Luo Chu, we need to find technicians from the communications department to identify it. The mobile phone signal in Yunshan Times Square is most likely to be manually blocked."
"Don't worry, this is all a minor problem. We don't need technical personnel from the communications department. I have such talents under my command." Luo Chu was obviously different from Director Gao.
He is sincere in his career, so he has recruited many talents with various professional skills. Communication talents are indispensable in this industry, and Luo Chu will definitely not let go of such talents.
Luo Chu returned to the team and whispered a few words to Lao Han.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chief Yan's secretary came over quickly and asked him to come over.
Chief Yan had already moved to a parasol at this time.
It can be seen that although the leader was a little unhappy, he did not leave early.
This shows that he is very concerned about Yunshan Times Square.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yue knew the inside story and knew what Chief Yan was really worried about.
It's just two things.
First, I am worried about whether this game can end perfectly and give a reasonable explanation to the superiors and subordinates.
The second is that they worry about whether their portion of the appearance fee will be paid.
Jiang Yue accompanied Luo Chu and walked to the parasol.
Chief Yan's tone was serious.
"Director Luo, why didn't Director Gao and the others come out together? Did you find anything inside?"
With twenty years of experience in the industry, Luo Chu has long ago learned the ability to talk to people and tell ghosts.
"Reporting to the leader, we went in and walked around, and I can tell you that you may not believe it. There is nothing strange here at all. If you don't believe it, go in and take a look. This mall can be entered and exited freely."
Chief Yan said displeased: "According to what you said, those hundreds of people just evaporated like air?"
"Anyway, I don't believe this is a strange incident." Luo Chu's answer was simple.
Several other directors of the Operations Division were quite convinced of Luo Teng. They all believed him a little when they heard what he said.
"Haha, whether it's a strange incident or not, won't we know it when Director Gao and the others come out?"
"Sir Yan, I'd like to apply to bring a group of people in to conduct a careful search." Luo Chu volunteered.
"You?" Chief Yan glanced sideways at Luo Chu.
"Have you finished all the cases you have at hand? You don't know the rules of our bureau. Unless the fifth branch fails to handle it, you have gone too far!"
"Hehe, I was wondering if the leader called me here just because he wanted me to contribute something!"
"I asked you to come over. That's discipline. I asked you to come over and assist the Fifth Division and come up with ideas. The main force must be the Fifth Division. This is division of labor and operational discipline. Do you understand?" Chief Yan is very official.
.
As soon as he finished speaking, two figures suddenly appeared at the south gate. They were Master Liu and the female assistant.
Master Liu's face looked very ugly.
Seeing Luo Chu, Jiang Yue and the others in front of Chief Yan, their expressions changed even more.
"Sir Yan, I'll report it!" Master Liu stepped forward quickly, "I highly suspect that there is something wrong with these people. There must be replicators lurking among them! Moreover, they also killed Director Gao and two of his men!
"
The evil master Liu complained first, and when they met, he directly poured a basin of dirty water on Luo Chu and the others.
Chief Yan was shocked on the spot. He stood up from his chair and stepped back several steps, away from Luo Chu, Jiang Yue and the others.
Luo Chu sneered: "Master Liu, we have to give you some evidence, okay? Director Gao and the others clearly went in with you, but you bit us back. What's the point? Replicator? You have a big brain. You
Which one of us looks like a replicator?"
"I have already reported the information on the replicators to the bureau. Everyone knows the characteristics of the replicators. You said that there are replicators among us, so we can test it. On the contrary, it is you who are sneaky. I highly
I wonder if this Yunshan Times Square is a trick you deliberately set up to defraud the entrance fee and make this dirty money?"
Luo Chu knows the inside story, and he is not afraid of quarreling with Master Liu!
