Murder Bureau within Bureau

  I and Panzi are not chicks, facing the sudden situation, we both didn't panic, but quickly reacted. I punched a fist at the black shadow's head, while Panzi kicked his belly with one foot.

  The two of us joined forces to counterattack, and ordinary people would be defeated by our counterattack, but this black shadow was really strong. He suddenly dodged and avoided all our punches and kicks, and rushed to Panzi's side.

  I didn't see clearly what trick he used, anyway, he poked Panzi's neck with one finger, Panzi let out a muffled hum, and the whole person thudded to the ground.

  I saw Panzi like that, without any vitality, and thought it was over, the enemy had a weapon. The two of us just now didn't go all out, although we were carrying spring knives, but he really didn't show any mercy.

  My eyes turned red with rage, I opened the spring knife and stabbed it fiercely at the black shadow's face.

  With the sharpness of this knife and my strength, as long as I stab him with all my might, even if he doesn't die, he'll be left severely disabled.

  The black shadow was quite calm, coldly watching the spring knife getting closer and closer to him. Just as it was about to stab him, he suddenly turned his head and narrowly avoided it. He then crouched down, slipped under my arm, and hid beside me.

  I didn't think he would make such a move either. I couldn't even withdraw my hand in time, and then he raised his right hand again and pressed it against my neck.

  I feel like there's a small stick or something pressing against my neck, and this thing is stuck in a very awkward position. As soon as it exerts a bit of force, I get a strong feeling of suffocation and dizziness.

  I didn't dare move randomly, it was clear that I had been subdued by him. I also didn't dare turn my head randomly, just waiting for him to dispose of me.

  He didn't kill me despite having the chance, it's clear he doesn't want my life. I think there's still room for maneuver, and deep down I'm still thinking about what he'll ask next.

  He fell silent for a moment, then suddenly spoke up, but what he said was unexpected. "Du Rui! We're in this together."

  I was stunned, and his tone revealed his identity, this man is Lu Yifeng.

  I suppressed the wild beating in my chest and slowly turned to look at him. Lu Yufeng stared at me, emphasizing again, "I'm a special informant."

  The name "Special Informant" sounds unfamiliar to outsiders, but I'm all too familiar with it. Among us, there are indeed people like this who have special skills and are reduced sentence prisoners due to their poor background, unable to be reinstated, so they can only hang out in the police station's file room, executing some very special tasks, giving off a spy or secret agent vibe.

  But let's get back to the point, Lu Yifeng said he was a special informant without any evidence, how can I believe that he is real? If one sentence can determine a person's identity, then... I am also a special informant.

  Seeing the expression on my face was a bit tangled, he guessed what I was thinking, and he leaned his head towards me again, saying coldly, "If it weren't for being in the same group, do you think I would keep you two?"

  This statement made me completely speechless. We are now in the back mountain, or rather, it's the second half of the night. If he really wants to kill us both and bury us somewhere, who would know?

  I believed him then, and as a result, my attitude towards him also changed a lot. He slowly withdrew his hand, indicating that he would let me off.

  After the danger was removed, I didn't rush to say anything to Lu Yifeng. My heart was thinking about Panzi. I quickly squatted down and checked how Panzi was doing.

  Pan's eyelids were drooping, and he seemed to be in a semi-conscious state. Lu Yifeng also came over, patted Pan's back and said, "He's fine, just fainted from my poke, he'll be okay after a while."

  As he spoke, he also stretched out his hand for me to see.

  I found that he was wearing a ring on his thumb, which still emitted some black light in the night. I guessed that this thing was made of different materials and might be made of tungsten steel. He just used this as a weapon to clean us up.

  Lu Yufeng lit another cigarette and handed it to me, letting me take a few puffs to refresh myself. Just as I was halfway through the cigarette, Panzi coughed a few times and woke up. Seeing this, I handed the cigarette to him, letting him also refresh himself.

  After that, I told Panzi about Lu Yifeng's situation. When Panzi knew that Lu Yifeng was one of his own people, he weakly turned his head and nodded in greeting, but this was just a courtesy. Panzi saw that Lu Yifeng still had a hint of anger on his face. This I also understood, whoever gets tricked would be angry.

  I asked Lu Yifeng again, what did he come to Shanjian for?

  Lu Yifeng didn't answer my question directly. He said he received a task a few days ago, there was a ghost case in Suishan Village, and he was asked to come quickly to investigate. With the current clues, the case already had a lead. Just now on the mountain, he just wanted to verify something.

  We were chatting together, when suddenly the wind started again. The wind was really strong and blew so hard that we couldn't open our eyes. Lu Yifeng frowned and pursed his lips, saying it's too cold here, let's go back to the house to discuss further.

  I've thought it through, and now that chill is gone from head to toe, but this isn't a good thing - on the contrary, it means my body has been frozen numb. If I hold out any longer, something's bound to go wrong.

  We walked back the same way, and that little black dog wanted to follow us, but Lu Yifeng didn't like this dog, so he kicked it away with one foot. The little black dog barked discontentedly, turned around, and ran into the mountains.

  After returning to the house, I quickly poured water for everyone. During the day, I borrowed a thermos from the villagers nearby, and the water inside was still hot. I wanted everyone to drink some water to warm themselves up.

  I thought that was it, we chatted for a while and then went to sleep together. But Lu Yifeng pointed at the tile house opposite us and asked, "Have you two been inside that house?"

  I nodded and told him about our experience at the time. Panzi added that there was nothing particularly noteworthy in the tile house, just a record player and a photo that was a bit strange.

  Lu Yifeng chuckled and said, "You all overlooked it, but there's actually a very important clue there."

  I'm quite puzzled and don't know what Lu Yifeng is referring to. Lu Yifeng turned around, walked to his bed, and took out a small talisman from his travel bag.

  This thing is used by Taoist priests and Buddhist monks to drive out ghosts, I really don't understand why Lu Yu Feng brought it with him.

  Panzi's face sank, and he asked speculatively, "A Feng, you're not saying that there's a ghost in the house across from us, are you?"

  Lu Yifeng thought for a moment and said that Panzi was right, anyway there were cats in the house, so they shouldn't drag on, now everyone went over and caught the ghost.

  The two of us brought our good stuff, I took the lead first, and when we arrived in front of the tile house opposite, I used my lock-picking skills to open the door.

  As soon as I entered the house, I found that the fragrance inside was even stronger. Ah Feng disliked this smell and opened the window.

  I and Pan Zi didn't know what to do next because we weren't clear about the situation in this house, so Lu Yu Feng took a preliminary look.

  On the cabinet where we found the photo, there was also a mirror. The mirror wasn't big and it looked like it was for women to dress up in front of. It had a copper frame and base.

  Lu Yifeng pointed to the mirror, leading us to gather around it, and he also opened that drawer. When he saw the photos in the drawer, he took them out and looked at them. I noticed his expression and found that he seemed to recognize the third woman in the photo, especially when he made a strange smile and touched her with his hand.

  Then he pulled out two candles from inside. I and Panzi had seen these two candles before, but they were just ordinary goods, nothing special about them.

  A Feng placed the candle in front of the copper mirror, staring at the mirror and saying to us, "The ghost is right here inside, we'll get it out soon."

  I remember someone telling me that I shouldn't stare at the mirror in the middle of the night, or a ghost would really appear inside. Now Lu Yu Feng is saying something so apt, my heart feels a bit tight.

  Panzi also couldn't believe it and asked again, "A Feng, what did you say?"

  Lu Yifeng ignored Panzi, looked around the room and found a chair. He moved it over and had Panzi sit on it with his back to the window. Then he found a wooden comb and handed it to Panzi, emphasizing that he was entrusting him with an arduous task. "Brother, I'll light the candles and burn the talismans in a bit. You just face the mirror and comb your hair. Remember, three strokes forward, three strokes backward, repeat this cycle without stopping."

  I'm a bit stunned, I don't know what Ah Feng's purpose is in letting Panzi do this, but Panzi thinks clearly, he's somewhat unwilling and worriedly asks, "Is the purpose of me doing this to hook up with the person in the mirror?"

  Lu Yifeng smiled and said that Panzi was right. He didn't even give Panzi time to react, and immediately lit the candle.

  As I lit the candle together, I found that it was indeed unusual. The light it emitted was not a normal color, usually yellow, but it emitted a faint green glow.

  Panzi really didn't want to comb his hair, but he couldn't bear Lu Yifeng looking at him, so he had no choice but to use the wooden comb that had lost its teeth and slowly started combing.

  Lu Yu Feng also lit the talisman and circled it in front of the mirror, letting it scorch the surface of the copper mirror. However, this talisman was not quite right either, burning very slowly, and emitting a nauseating medicinal smell that made people want to vomit.

  I thought technology had advanced, and this ghost-driving guy has also upgraded? Not only did he draw symbols on top, but he also matched some kind of fierce medicine to enhance the performance of driving ghosts?

  Now I have nothing to do, Lu Yifeng and Pan Zi are busy with their own things, so I can only hold back my curiosity and watch from the side.

  This scene initially made me feel a bit uncomfortable, the whole room was green and gloomy, these two people also looked quite strange, but after getting used to it, I really didn't think there was anything wrong.

  I really don't believe they can conjure up a ghost by doing this.

  What's weird is that suddenly the wind started blowing outside, whooshing into the house, I was leaning against the outermost part, my arm numb from the cold, and those two candles were also blown to flicker and almost go out.

  Lu Yufeng said it was too windy and asked me to close the window first. I quickly got up and walked towards the window.

  In front of the window, I seemed to see vaguely that there was a person standing beside a house in the distance, wearing white clothes. When I blinked my eyes and wanted to take another look, the person was gone.

  I thought I was seeing things and didn't think much of it. But after closing the window, the strange atmosphere in the house emerged.
