The midday sun, with the lingering power of autumn tigers, shines on the long street.
A noodle shop on the roadside of Fu An.
"Do you have a specific goal? Are you still running around like this this afternoon?"
Lin Baici picked up a pair of chopsticks and patted the cucumber. There was a little too much vinegar, which made it sour.
He currently has more than 10 million in his bank card, but he doesn't feel that it is necessary to eat big fish and meat every meal. He goes to a high-end restaurant and eats at roadside stalls like this.
"Those mad dogs mostly appear near Haejing Institute of Technology, and almost all of the people attacked are students from your school, so I think the sacred beast is in a certain community here!"
Analysis of Xia Hong Yao.
"..."
Lin Baici didn't know what to say. Even if the scope is narrowed down to a community, you are still looking for a needle in a haystack, okay?
"Can you give me all the information on those people who were attacked by mad dogs?"
Lin Baici prepared to do it himself.
He is not an employee of the Kyushu Security Bureau now, so he doesn't know if he can see this information, but it is obvious that Gao Mawei regards Lin Baici as one of his own.
"Well, see for yourself!"
After Xia Hongyao logged into the Security Bureau's internal website on her mobile phone, she handed the phone to Lin Baici.
Lin Baici was not polite and picked it up to browse quickly.
"Did you find anything?"
Xia Hongyao was looking forward to it because Lin Baici had shown extraordinary wisdom on the train and in the ruins of Palm Harbor.
"Sister, I just started watching!"
Lin Baici smiled bitterly: "You should eat first. After eating, lean back on the chair and squint for a while. Look at the dark circles under your eyes!"
"I rely on my IQ to make a living!"
Xia Hongyao took a sip of soup.
Most women care about their skin and buy a lot of cosmetics. They are the type who will die if they don’t put on makeup before going out.
But Xia Hongyao was an exception. She always looked naked and never cared about her clothes. Every time Lin Baici saw her, she was always dressed in sportswear.
Lin Baici curled his lips, you have a weak intelligence, dare you say that you rely on your IQ to make a living?
However, Lin Baici glanced at Xiong Dahou with a high ponytail, and suddenly felt that it didn't matter if she had a pair of dark circles under her eyes and her whole face was haggard.
Because Xiong Da is the truth.
A man must bow down to a bear.
Of course, except for the heretics who like steel plate girls.
Lin Baici can read ten lines at a time, and he can read very quickly. Unfortunately, what he has is an ability to recite things by ear, not a photographic memory, otherwise the efficiency would be higher.
Half an hour later.
"Boss, how much is it?"
Lin Baici shouted.
"Sixty-five dollars!"
Lin Baici scanned the QR code on the wall.
Two bowls of fried noodles, one plate of vegetarian noodles, one plate of bacon, and two bottles of soda. The price is quite a bargain.
"Xiao Linzi, what do you think?"
Xia Hongyao stood on the street and stretched.
Many men passing by immediately took a look.
The mottled shadows of the sycamore trees fell on her, like a veil covering the Himalayan peaks.
Hiss!
Xia Hongyao tugged on the zipper of her sportswear and pulled it all the way up.
Lin Baici immediately saw a lot of regretful looks.
“Let’s go to Boshuo Community first!”
Gu Qingxiang lived there, so Lin Baici planned to confirm the safety of that community first.
"good."
Xia Hongyao was driving a BMW 3 Series today. It was parked on the side of the road. She walked over and saw a ticket on the glass for illegal parking that had been affixed by the traffic police.
She tore it off casually, rolled it into a ball, and threw it into the trash can three meters away.
"..."
Lin Baici was surprised, could this still be the case?
"boarding!"
Seeing Lin Baici's expression, Xia Hongyao shrugged: "In official business, it's fine not to mention illegal parking or running a red light, but generally you still have to abide by traffic rules."
"Of course, even if you want to pay a fine, you have no chance. It's all paid by the bureau."
Xia Hongyao waited for Lin Baici to get in the car, fastened her seat belt, and set off.
Great, I found another reason to join the Security Bureau.
Boshuo Community is a seven-story residential building. Due to the age of the buildings, the walls in many places have faded and fallen off, making them look a bit dilapidated.
Because the people living here are all tenants, and most of them are college students, there are very few people cooking and they all order takeout. Therefore, at this time, many takeaways can be seen coming in and out.
The community is not very big, with only twelve residential buildings.
"Look!"
Xia Hongyao suddenly pulled Lin Baici.
Lin Baici looked over and, oh, a dirty border collie ran quickly past the corner with a takeaway in its mouth.
"Are you picking up takeout for the owner?"
Xia Hongyao found it quite interesting.
"I feel like stealing takeout!"
Lin Baici saw Xia Hongyao's confused look and explained to her: "That dog is too dirty and doesn't look like a domestic one."
"Maybe its owner doesn't like to be clean!"
Xia Hongyao has another opinion: "There are so many people who don't like bathing. There is another possibility that its owner is a homeless person!"
"The red medicine is amazing!"
Lin Baici gave a thumbs up.
He admitted that this was a possibility.
"Ha ha!"
Xia Hongyao put his hands on his hips, puffed out his chest, and smiled proudly.
She admired Lin Baici and recognized his strength, so being praised by a dragon-level reservation made her so beautiful.
The two people walked around and found nothing. When they were about to leave, they heard someone arguing.
"You asked me to leave the takeout at the door, and now you blame me for leaving it?"
A delivery boy in a yellow uniform was very angry.
"You didn't put it away at all. I came out to get it after I went to the toilet. I was delayed for a minute at most, but I didn't see anything."
The girl is very angry.
Because she had diarrhea, she didn't open the door immediately to pick up the takeaway, but ended up wiping her butt and coming out.
Gone?
"I let it go."
The delivery boy also yelled and was worried. He had other takeaways and he wouldn't be able to deliver them if he was delayed.
"I don't care, you compensate me, or I will file a complaint against you!"
Girls are very fierce.
"Why should I compensate you? Maybe you have already taken it and want to blackmail me for a share!"
The delivery boy was unhappy: "Adjust the surveillance in the community!"
"Is there a fucking surveillance camera in this poor community?"
The woman was so angry that she wanted to hit someone. When she got a salary increase, she would move out of this poor neighborhood as soon as possible.
Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao looked at each other.
The takeaway that Bian Mu was holding in his mouth just now was indeed stolen.
"Stop arguing, your takeaway was stolen by a dog!"
Xia Hongyao dissuaded the fight.
"Look, someone saw it!"
The delivery boy was happy.
The girl was stunned and asked: "Do you have any evidence?"
"I didn't, but I saw it."
Xia Hongyao tried to persuade the girl, but was stopped by Lin Baici.
"Let's go!"
Lin Baici took Xia Hongyao and left.
"Hey, don't leave. Be a witness for me. Damn it, don't leave!"
The delivery boy shouted and wanted to stop Xia Hongyao, but was held back by the girl.
The two started to fight.
In the car, Xia Hongyao was a little unhappy: "Do I look like a liar?"
"That girl knows you are right, but if she agrees with this statement, she will have to bear the loss herself. Now she insists that the deliveryman did not deliver the food, so it is the deliveryman's responsibility."
Lin Baici knew what the girl was thinking. Even if he couldn't get full compensation, he still wanted to get part of it back to reduce the loss.
"Okay, it's just a sideshow, let's go to school!"
Lin Baici already had a plan, but he still took out the turtle shell.
He clasped his hands together, holding this beady tortoise shell inside, and recited silently in his heart.
"Where is the sacred object that makes mad dogs? Please point me in the direction!"
After reciting it three times, Lin Baici raised his hand and tossed the tortoise shell.
The tortoise shell flew up vertically, and before hitting the roof of the car, it fell again and landed on Lin Baici's lap.
Xia Hongyao looked over.
A long-pitched voice sounded in the car.
"Kneel down and offer three sacrifices with your five bodies. You don't respect the heaven and the ghosts and gods!"
"Turtle shell divination, ask the gods for divination, today will be very bad."
"Don't go out! Avoid dogs! There will be bloody disasters!"
After Turtle Shell's divination ended, Lin Baici immediately felt a chill coming over him, making him shiver uncontrollably.
It felt like walking past a mass grave at night and being blown by the dark wind.
Lin Baici knew that this was not his illusion, but that the curse of the turtle shell had taken effect and began to corrode him.
If you are in poor physical condition, you will have to catch a cold for at least two or three days.
"Are you sure?"
Xia Hongyao didn't like the divination result.
"You two have been in bad luck lately. It's better to go home, take a shower, and insist on walking outside. You will be in trouble!"
‘It’ explains.
Why!
I haven't had a divination for many days, and I'm exhausted.
"I see that most of these people have impatience and depression in their brows. Why don't you wait for me to set up an altar and do some divination for them?"
‘It’ proposes.
Lin Baici threw the tortoise shell directly into the black alms bowl, jokingly, asking you to divine, are there still living people on this street?
Xia Hongyao didn't believe this, and Lin Baici didn't care too much. The two of them rushed to the office building, parked the car, and went to find the leader of the School of Life Sciences.
"I've asked them before, but to no avail."
Half of the people who were bitten and killed by the mad dogs were students from the School of Life Sciences of Haijing Institute of Technology. The first thing Xia Hongyao did when he came was to ask the department leaders.
"Ask again!"
Lin Baici wanted to listen to it himself.
When the dean of this college saw Xia Hongyao, he lost his temper and didn't even give him a glass of water.
"Didn't I say it before? What else do you want to ask?"
The dean complained.
"My colleague still has a few questions to ask. Please answer them carefully. If you can't solve them, we can only take you back to the bureau to assist in the investigation!"
Xia Hongyao showed his ID and spoke with a straight face, which was quite intimidating.
It's just that the bear is too big and not cool enough.
Lin Baici asked about the situation of the dead and injured, but the dean didn't know anything about it. He still made a phone call and called in several counselors to find out.
After two hours of tossing, Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao said goodbye and left.
"This is no different from the situation I asked before."
Xia Hongyao sighed, feeling that his efforts were in vain.
"Go to the dormitory building. You are in charge of the girls, and I am in charge of the boys. Ask them what gossips and rumors have been happening in the department recently. Do you have a recorder? Write them all down!"
Lin Baici assigned tasks.
The boys from the School of Life Sciences lived in Building 9. Lin Baici called Qian Jiahui and Fang Mingyuan each and asked them if they had any friends.
Fang Mingyuan said that a new golf friend he met was a junior in this college.
Lin Baici bought a box of drinks and a bunch of snacks, and went to the senior's dormitory to find him in the name of asking for advice on football skills.
He wasn't there, but it didn't matter, Lin Baici started chatting with others.
Drinks and snacks opened the way, and Lin Baici chatted about some games and basketball-related topics, and the atmosphere quickly became harmonious.
After a while, Lin Baici looked at it and started to change the subject without leaving a trace: "Have you had any big events in your college recently? Tell me, I can brag to my roommates when I go back!"
"There is a second-generation student in our college who brought flowers and a diamond ring to Mi Qin to confess his love, but was met with disappointment!"
"How dare you pursue a goddess like Mi Qin who doesn't have a billion in her family?"
"Haha, the goddess is amazing. In the end, she is not someone else's gun mount?"
The boys were chirping.
"Don't talk about goddesses now, it's hard for ordinary girls to woo you!"
"Yes, that boy in Class 3 stole a battery car to buy things for his girlfriend. He was caught and fired. He and his girlfriend are gone in the future."
"I heard that the woman turned around and got a new boyfriend. Why don't those mad dogs bite this stinky woman?"
The topic has been discussed, and Lin Baici does not need guidance at all.
"I heard that the boy didn't go back and rented a house outside the school. He also wanted to continue with his girlfriend and pestered her several times!"
"What a fool!"
"Have they slept? If they slept, it would be a loss!"
Lin Baici listened for a long time and felt that this information was of some value: "What is that boy's name? How is his popularity?"
"My name is Du Shan. I think she's pretty popular."
Du Shan usually doesn't see other people except in class. Now that I think about it, he probably went to steal a battery car.
"Where is his girlfriend? Is she beautiful?"
Lin Baici pretended to be curious.
"I'm just an average person, five out of ten, but I'm quite tall, have long legs, and like to put on makeup!"
"It seems like none of the girls in her class like her, right?"
"Yes, because someone in the dormitory lost something, and it was so unpleasant that we changed dormitories."
I didn’t know many people in college, but it turned out to be such a tense situation, which was very boring.
"Do you know where Du Shan lives now?"
Lin Baici opened a few more bottles of soda and handed them to everyone.
"I don't know, I'll ask you!"
A boy wearing glasses had relatively high emotional intelligence. Seeing that Lin Baici was concerned about this matter, he immediately helped him go out and ask.
"In Boshuo Community, I don't know which building I live in."
When Lin Baici heard the name of the community, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
If there is really something wrong with this boy, how did he get the forbidden object?
Lin Baici stayed until 5 o'clock, feeling that it was impossible to obtain valuable information anymore, so he said goodbye and left.
"What's going on with this kid?"
Someone was curious about Lin Baici: "He's quite handsome!"
"Didn't you come to Lao Zhang to ask for advice on his football skills?"
"Then why does he keep asking about Du Shan?"
"I guess you want to buy a cheap bicycle?"
In everyone's mind, Du Shan is already a thief, and he probably still relies on stealing to support his daily expenses. Otherwise, what can he do as a college student who has not graduated?
Lin Baici went downstairs and saw Xia Hongyao squatting by the flower bed, bored and playing with her mobile phone.
Many boys were looking at her.
"Anything gained?"
Lin Baici asked with a smile.
"No one cares about me!"
Xia Hongyao was depressed: "I showed my ID, and they started to answer some questions. Xiao Linzi, I think it would be more effective for you to go to the girls' dormitory."
Lin Baicixin said, it may not be useful if I go to the girls' dormitory, but if you go to the boys' dormitory, they will definitely kneel down and lick you, and they can tell you the scandal of bedwetting when you were a child.
"Let's go to Boshuo Community!"
Lin Baici was going to find the boy who stole the battery car.
"Why go again?"
Xia Hongyao didn't understand.
Lin Baici explained his discovery: "Such an unpopular girl was not bitten by a mad dog, but other girls were bitten. If it is not a coincidence, then there is most likely something wrong with this girl or her ex-boyfriend.
"
"Then why don't you find this girl first?"
Xia Hongyao was confused.
"This girl often moves around campus and has few opportunities to come into contact with sacred and taboo objects. On the contrary, a boy who often goes out to steal battery cars has a wider range of activities and is very likely to obtain sacred and taboo objects!"
Lin Baici explained: "But don't have too much hope. A coincidence is more likely."
The two returned to Boshuo Community.
Because the community was too old and there were no properties at all, Lin Baici couldn't get any information about the residents of the community. However, the old security guard at the gate said that if he wanted to rent a house, he could go to the neighborhood committee and ask.
"Uncle, how many men live by themselves in this community? They are about the same age as me."
Lin Bai resignedly handed over a pack of cigarettes.
Good guy, Hua Zi!
The old security guard glanced at Lin Baici and took the cigarette.
If Lin Baici asked girls, the old security guard would definitely not tell him, but for boys, it didn't matter.
"Most of the tenants here are lovers. Unfortunately, these young people nowadays are too open-minded. They are living together before they are married."
The old security guard lamented the deterioration of the world and lit a cigarette: "There are some boys who live alone, but not many. I guess they all have conflicts with their roommates, right?"
"Is there anything that impressed you?"
Lin Baici actually got Du Shan's photo. When he left school, he asked Du Shan's counselor to take it in the archives.
But taking it out now will make the old security guard suspicious.
"There is a big man on the third floor of Building 7. He often calls a group of people to come and play. I have complained about him several times from upstairs to downstairs!"
"There is one in Building 9. I don't see him even once every two or three weeks. It makes me afraid that he will die at home!"
"There is one in Building 12. He seems to be a professional gamer. He has many computers at home and the monthly electricity bill is thousands of dollars!"
The old security guard was chattering.
"Thank you, uncle!"
Xia Hongyao said thank you.
"fine!"
The old security guard watched Lin Baici and Xia Hongyao walking towards Building No. 9. After thinking about it, he decided not to bother with it. With his salary, he could just visit the door. He would not be responsible for anything else that happened.
"Are you sure there is something wrong with living in Building 9?"
Xia Hongyao was very excited. If the mad dog incident was solved today, his position in the bureau would also be recognized.
"I don't know, let's take a look first!"
Lin Bai resigned and entered Building No. 9.
There were three households on one floor, and Lin Baici didn't know which one it was, so he had to ask one by one.
Boom!
Lin Baici knocked on the door with only one finger.
"Who is it?"
It's a female voice.
“Takeaway delivery!”
Lin Bai replied politely.
"I didn't order takeout."
the woman answered.
Lin Baici knocked on each one one by one.
If a woman answers, it can basically be ruled out. If a man answers, Lin Baici said he is from the gas company and needs to check the gas valve urgently.
When the door opened, and Lin Baici saw that the other person did not look like Du Shan, he would immediately ask, how many households are here?
The answer is of course 'no'.
So Lin Baici apologized and went to the next house.
"Is this okay?"
Xia Hongyao opened my eyes.
"The main reason is that the security of our country is so good that many people have no sense of safety. Otherwise, if you look through the peephole and find that I am not wearing the uniform of the gas company, you would know that I am fake!"
When Lin Baici arrived on the fifth floor, he encountered a problem.
Room 503, no one answered.
"I thought I heard a dog barking!"
Lin Baici listened intently.
"There are many people raising dogs now, and there are dogs barking in the house on the third floor below!"
Xia Hongyao didn't find it strange: "Maybe there's no one at home, so you go to work?"
"No, there are too many dogs barking, at least three."
Lin Baici frowned. He activated the ear chanting, and his hearing was immediately enhanced. There were three calls, and in addition there were other breathing sounds.
"What should we do?"
Xia Hongyao looked at the security door painted with gray paint.
"It's illegal for us to crash in like this. Can your security bureau cover us?"
Lin Baici did not want to be detained.
"That is required!"
Xia Hongyao patted his chest, feeling confident that everything was wrapped up in me.
"Then I'll hit the door!"
Lin Baici looked around, and just in case, he took out the Bodhi Messenger cassock from his backpack and put it on himself.
Although there was no surveillance in the building, Lin Baici was still very careful. He did not summon the Muscle Buddha, but took a deep breath and punched the handle of the security door.
The overlord takes off his armor and has no clothes to cover his body!
boom!
The door lock was like a piece of biscuit broken by a giant. With a click, it immediately shattered and splashed open, leaving a big hole in the door.
"Oh!"
Lin Baici just thought about whether this divine grace would have an effect on door locks, but he didn't expect it to work. Does this mean that any security doors or safes in the future will not be able to protect him?
Cool!
Lin Baici opened the security door and punched the handle of the entrance door again.
boom!
The door lock is broken.
Lin Baici pushed open the door and entered, and a smell instantly hit his nostrils.
"It stinks!"
Xia Hongyao frowned and immediately pinched her nose. Can anyone live in this place?
But luckily, it's not corpse odor.
There is no light and the room is pitch dark!
When Lin Baici quickly turned on the flashlight on his phone and shined it, he was stunned.
"Fuck!"
Ahead, the entire living room was filled with garbage, piles of takeout boxes, dog poop, sanitary napkins, and cockroaches crawling all over the floor.
If it were all like this, Lin Baici wouldn't be shocked, because with the flashlight's light, the entire living room was full of dogs!
There are golden retrievers, border collies, teddy dogs, puppies, and even a Tibetan mastiff. They are all dirty and buried in the garbage, lying on the sofa, the refrigerator, and the TV cabinet.
When they heard the sound of the door opening, they all turned their heads and looked over.
The dogs' eyes were red, their mouths were open, their tongues were sticking out, and sticky saliva was dripping from them.
"run!"
Lin Baici growled, dragged Xia Hongyao and quickly exited the room, closing the security door with his left hand.
The moment they saw the stranger, these mad dogs immediately moved and rushed out like an arrow from a string!
Woof! Woof! Woof!
A mad dog barks and chooses people to devour!
I will stay up late to write, but it will be very late. Let’s get up and read it tomorrow morning!
