Chapter 74 Anti-fraud and Anti-scam
Chapter 74 Anti-fraud and Anti-scam
Captain Hu of Qinghe Prefecture was having a headache looking at the files in front of him.
This is the ninth man to be killed.
And the way they died was exactly the same.
The body was thrown into the wild, covered in blood, naked without even any clothes, and of course, without even any skin.
Who is that person who is so cruel and vicious?
However, when people from the weaving factory were called in to take a look, they couldn't detect any weird aura either. The only thing they could think of was that a cruel and deranged criminal was committing a crime in the city.
"Lao Hu! Lao Hu!"
Captain Hu was just thinking about it when his colleague, Constable Liu, who had just returned from outside, called him a few times as he entered the room.
He raised his head and asked unhappily, "What's wrong?"
But Constable Liu winked and said, "I never thought, Old Hu, you are so lucky."
"What on earth are you going to say?"
Seeing that Captain Hu was frowning and about to get angry, Captain Liu quickly said, "Ahem, there's a beautiful young woman outside looking for you, go quickly. Tsk tsk, that face, that figure, really good, I've never seen such a good woman."
When Captain Hu heard this description, his face turned pale and he stood up suddenly.
"Where is it?" asked Captain Hu, with a hint of displeasure in his tone.
"Yes, yes, outside the gate."
After hearing this, Captain Hu's face became even gloomier and he strode out.
Seeing that he looked angry, Constable Liu felt a little strange.
It seems that Old Hu knows who this is.
But he would be angry at a woman like this? If it were him, he would definitely not be able to vent his anger at all.
Detective Liu curled his lips.
But I heard that Old Hu is a man who loves his wife and is not moved by beauty. Now it seems to be true.
……
When Captain Hu walked out of the government office gate, he saw a woman dressed as a young woman. She was timid in a white dress, with a light green belt around her waist that was so slender that it could be held in one hand. She looked like a weak willow swaying in the wind.
Although Captain Hu was originally very unhappy, he immediately felt very pity for the young woman when he saw her.
As soon as the young woman saw him, her beautiful eyes full of affection immediately became moist, and her rosy cherry mouth opened slightly, as if she wanted to tell something.
Captain Hu quickly grabbed the young woman's arm and led her away from the government gate.
He carefully looked around to see if there was anyone around, then whispered, "Why are you here?"
"Master Hu hasn't come to see me for several days. Why can't I come?"
The young woman was about to cry and wiped the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief. The teardrop mole at the corner of her eye was made even more delicate and charming by being wiped.
Captain Hu felt even more distressed when he saw this. He wanted to help the young woman wipe her tears, but he was afraid that his hands were too rough and would hurt her delicate skin.
"Master Hu, do you dislike me?" The young woman cried even more sadly. "I know that you love me as much as your life. To you, I am just a wild flower or weed on the roadside... It's just my wishful thinking..."
Captain Hu finally couldn't bear it anymore, and hurriedly hugged the young woman, saying the most gentle words in his life, coaxing her, and swore that he would never let her down.
This is really a disaster in his life.
He had thought that he would live his entire life with the woman he had been engaged to since childhood. Who would have thought that half a month ago, when he was handling this horrifying skinning case, he would meet the widow of the first victim.
He felt that this girl was really weak and pitiful, so he went to take care of her every now and then, and then he fell for her.
"Then, when will you come to my house?" The young woman's charming eyes flickered, and she raised her head from his arms and looked at him. However, the case file on Captain Hu's desk made him feel overwhelmed. The prefectural governor had already warned him that the case had caused a sensation in Qinghe. If he didn't solve the case, he might lose his position as captain.
He had no choice but to explain to the young woman in a gentle voice.
The young woman frowned slightly after hearing this, but still said softly: "Then my lord, please take good care of yourself and don't forget to eat."
Captain Hu breathed a sigh of relief, but when he thought about how Qingniang obviously missed him so much, yet was so considerate and didn't make things difficult for him, he felt really pitiful.
"Tomorrow night, I will definitely come to see you tomorrow night." He still couldn't help but make a promise that he didn't even know if he could do.
The young woman smiled brightly, her cheeks flushed, and she said timidly, "Okay, I'll wait for you..."
……
This heartfelt remark made Captain Hu smile brightly the whole day, and even Constable Liu found it quite suspicious.
"Tell me, what is your relationship with that woman? I won't tell my sister-in-law." Constable Liu poked Constable Hu with his elbow.
Captain Hu rolled his eyes, but couldn't stop smiling: "Don't talk nonsense, don't tarnish someone's innocence."
This good mood lasted until Captain Hu came home from his shift.
The closer I got to home, the corners of my mouth drooped gradually.
His heart felt heavy when he thought about going back to face his wife, with whom he no longer had any words to say or feelings for her.
I got even more angry when I saw from afar the dazzling mirror hanging at the door of my house that reflected the light from the sky.
His wife is very easy to please. She always likes to listen to what the neighbors say and then buys all kinds of things back home.
Today I bought a can of garlic juice, saying it can cure all kinds of diseases, but it ended up filling the house with smoky air. Tomorrow I'm going to buy a strange magic circle that makes you shake when you stand on it, saying it can help you lose weight. No matter how much money you have, it's not worth spending like this!
His wife heard from Mrs. Zhang from the next street that this mirror was bought from a place called Qingyun Pavilion, and it was called the Evil-Repelling Mirror.
It is said that hanging this evil-repelling mirror at the door can protect the peace of the home.
If someone returns home with strange aura on them, this mirror will serve as a warning to prevent someone from accidentally bringing strange things into the house.
Really, this name is so big and sounds unreliable. Now, apart from the Weaving Institute, who can really warn against the strange aura?
Not to mention this little-known shop.
There is something wrong with this mirror.
On the day it was hung up, he was dazzled by the light from the mirror as soon as he entered the room and couldn't open his eyes. Before he knew what was happening, his wife panicked and said he was doing something strange and wouldn't let him in.
But in an important public place like the government office, there was a strange aura detector from the weaving institute at the door for daily monitoring, and they didn't say anything about it, but this broken mirror did react.
After much persuasion, the woman finally let him in, but she was too scared to sleep in the same room with him.
Captain Hu rolled his eyes, just enjoying the free time.
As a result, the mirror stopped responding the next day.
On the third and fourth days, there was still no response.
So Captain Hu had a righteous argument with his wife, saying that this thing was really useless and asked her to take it down so as not to embarrass herself.
Everyone knows that this is the house of Captain Hu. Captain Hu warns the elderly every day not to be easily cheated and spend money recklessly. But now there is a deceptive thing hanging on the door of his own house. Where is his face?
As a result, he took down the mirror by force in the morning, and now she hung it up again secretly.
He was burning with rage and his steps became quicker and quicker. He was about to go in and argue with his wife.
Suddenly, his eyes went white, and the sudden bright light from the door made him unable to open his eyes.
This damn mirror!
