Bewitching

The scream was sharp and piercing, especially shrill in the empty alley, but it sounded like a man's voice. .

Ji Xingchen's eardrums hurt from being stimulated by the sound, and his face was so gloomy that he almost dripped water.

"What the hell is this noise? It's scarier than Xing Er hanging his throat." He covered his ears with his hands, and stared at the room with an unkind expression.

Dahei was also very uncomfortable, bent down with his forelimbs irritated, and made an attacking movement.

Meng Xi thought about the cat ghost that was in Pingdu on the way when he came here, and he had some guesses in his mind.

He was not disturbed by the sound, and walked directly to the door of the store. Seeing that the door was locked, he raised his hand and knocked hard.The iron gate made a 'crash clatter' sound, but it still stood there stubbornly, and no one inside responded.

Ji Xingchen waited for the cry to subside before letting go of his hands covering his ears.

He walked over with a cold face, and directly pulled Meng Qianpa behind him, "Get out of the way, I'll come."

Meng Qiang said "Oh" obediently, and stepped aside.I saw Ji Xingchen took out a boxy black box the size of a palm from his bag, shook it back and forth against the electronic door lock, and heard a beep, and the door lock opened in response.

He clicked his tongue, stood there dumbfounded and asked: "What kind of baby is this, so powerful?"

"Don't even think about the tools used to commit crimes. This thing is now a contraband and is forbidden to be sold." After finishing speaking, Ji Xingchen pushed open the iron gate politely, gestured to Meng Kui, and raised his foot to go inside.But a black shadow suddenly appeared behind him, and he slipped in first.

He was startled, and stood there for a while, and when he saw clearly that it was Dahei who rushed in first, his expression became a little ugly.

Meng Kui looked at him suspiciously, wondering if he was careless, but he always felt that Ji Xingchen's attitude towards Dahei was a bit subtle.

The lights in the store were not turned on, and you couldn't see your fingers, but Meng Xi could see clearly.There is also a door at the back of the house, which should be connected to the outside yard.Although the surrounding area was clean, there was a faint smell of blood in the air.

Ji Xingchen turned on his mobile phone to take pictures, then kicked the box under his feet, looked down at the English text on the mobile phone, and said with a sneer, "It's worth saving your money, this cat food is not cheap, it's imported in original packaging. "

Meng Xi followed his voice and leaned over. Seeing that the brand looked familiar, he thought about it and found that it was the cat food that Wang Yuanyuan often bought.

"When you didn't come, I looked around. There were no problems with the shops nearby. Only this shop was very strange. It didn't even have a sign. I didn't know what it was for. The windows were closed all the year round, and there were dust everywhere. , but the electronic lock of the gate is very clean, but it is a little damaged. It should be caused by someone frequently coming to open the door. Only the door is opened but the window is not opened, and the window is a laminated glass window. This kind of glass is mainly for noise prevention, and the cost is very high ..."

The two were talking when they heard a few dogs barking in the yard.

Ji Xingchen was stunned for a moment, took a picture of the back of the house with his mobile phone, and found that the door opened a crack at some point.

"You stupid dog?

Meng Xi also heard Dahei's cry, as if he had discovered something.He stood up and wanted to go in, but he heard a 'cracking' sound coming from inside, as if something had fallen to the ground, followed by a scream of 'meow meow meow', no matter how he heard it, there was a sound Absolutely horrible.

Without any hesitation, the two ran straight to the door.There were many boxes in the backyard, and I don't know what they were filled with. Meng Qian didn't see clearly when he was running, and accidentally tripped over them.Fortunately, Ji Xingchen reacted quickly, hugged him, and didn't let him fall, but just trampled a few empty boxes.

He ignored it, and the two continued to run in following the sound.When I got to the innermost part, I found that there was a warehouse behind.The warehouse door was left cracked, and the sound came from here.

Ji Xingchen heard the sound of "jingling, bang, bang" intensify, he frowned and pushed open the door, and walked in only to find that there was a cellar below.

He raised his eyebrows and looked at the cellar meaningfully.

The entrance of the cellar was inconspicuously opened beside the shelf, and there was a door like a manhole cover half-covered, and there were steps below, and the bottom was dark and opaque.

I don't know how Dahei found out, and how he got in.

Meng Xi walked over, moved the door, and stepped on the stairs to go down, but as soon as he stepped out of his left leg, Ji Xingchen dragged him up by his collar.

"Why are you rushing forward? With your light weight, you can't crush anyone to death, and you want to fall like a heavy weapon! You have no deterrent effect at all, just follow me honestly."

Meng Xi pursed his mouth and followed behind him resentfully without rebuttal.

He followed the man step by step down the cellar, wrinkling the tip of his nose as soon as he entered.

Very strong bloody smell.

Ji Xingchen stopped suddenly, and Meng Xi was running, but he didn't notice that he stopped there without moving, and was still walking forward, but accidentally bumped into his back, and was staggered by the momentum.The back of this person was as hard as a wall, and his nose was sore when it hit him.

He rubbed the tip of his nose, looked forward with his feet on his feet, and saw Dahei biting a man's trouser leg and not letting go.And the tabby cat that Meng Xi stole from the cafeteria scrambled furiously on the shelf on the wall.Several bottles and cans were dumped on the ground, and a rice bowl was knocked over, spilling porridge all over the floor.

Meng Yu reckoned the series of sounds just now, and Kishi Liang was surprised. Did he jump up and down?

Ji Xingchen didn't expect that there was a living person hiding under here, he raised his foot and took a step forward, and when Dahei threw the man to the ground ferociously from the corner of his eyes, he stopped again and didn't go over.

Seeing him stop, Meng Qian asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Ji Xingchen pointed at the man who was thrown down by Dahei, "Look at his lost soul, he doesn't make a sound at this time, it's probably weird."

Meng Xi followed his gaze, only to find that the man's eyes were straight, his pupils were dilated, and his eyes showed a strange vertical pupil shape.

His face was blue, his limbs were obviously stiff, and he didn't respond even when he was thrown down by Dahei.

Meng Qiang understood, thinking of the cat ghost who had just been devoured and turned into ashes, he explained aloud: "Don't worry, he was backbited." After speaking, he beckoned Dahei back.

Dahei spat out the clothes in his mouth, restrained his hostility, and ran towards Meng Qian, shaking his head and tail, looking as if he wanted to ask for credit.

It's a pity that before it passed, it was snatched by the cat. That guy deftly jumped around the cabinet and landed in front of Meng Qiang a few times.Meng Xi catches it with quick eyes and hands, and just listens to it's "meow meow" coquettishly.

Meng Xi hugged it to his chest and checked it carefully, and found that it hadn't suffered any injuries, so he took out a few bags of dried fish from his pocket, fed the cat a few mouthfuls, and then put it back in his backpack.

Now Huamao didn't think that the bag was aggrieved, and before Meng Xi could speak, he rushed in directly, nestling inside and not coming out.Meng Xi carried the bag behind his back, then scratched Dahei's chin rewardingly, and walked towards the person lying on the ground.

He didn't look carefully just now, but now that he got closer, he realized that this man was very young, he was only in his early 30s.He has a decent appearance and is well dressed. He really doesn't look like the kind of ruthless person who kills people for money.

Ji Xingchen groped around the wall for a while, and finally found the switch in an inconspicuous place.He pressed it directly, and the sudden white light was a bit dazzling, but it clearly illuminated the basement.

The basement is not small, and there is a lot of space inside. The place is surrounded by welded iron shelves, and all kinds of sundries are placed on it.

There is a long wooden table in the middle, half a meter wide, with several leather ropes inlaid on it, and they are all locked, which seems to be used to fix things.

Ji Xingchen gestured to the size of the leather item, then took out a fluorescent lamp from his bag and shone it on the table.Seeing that the place illuminated by the lamp showed a large area of ​​earth brown, he frowned and waved to Meng Xi: "Come and have a look, this thing is probably used to tie up those old cats. It's quite like the shackles of an operating table." Take it, prevent those old cats from escaping, so that they can be fixed on this 'cutting board'."

When Meng Xi came in, he could smell the lingering smell of blood, and probably guessed in his heart that this was the first scene of the crime, so naturally he didn't have much interest in this table.However, seeing that the light stick Ji Xingchen held in his hand was interesting, he couldn't help looking at it a few more times curiously, and finally stared at the backpack behind his back with glowing eyes.

He found that this person was like a Doraemon, with all kinds of weird things in his bag.

"What do you see me doing?" When Ji Xingchen looked up, he saw Meng Xi staring at him intently.

Meng Qian reached out to light the fluorescent stick, then tugged at the bag behind him, "You have so many things in this bag."

Ji Xingchen raised his hand and knocked his hand away, but he didn't use much effort, just a symbolic gesture.It's a pity that Meng Xi's physical body was so weak that it would turn into a slag, and it would be a seal if he bumped it. He just hit him lightly, and the back of his hand immediately turned red.

Ji Xingchen looked at the redness on the back of his hand, was silent for two seconds, and said helplessly, "You are all fragile, I have never seen such a weak person like you."

Meng Xi was also very wronged, he was only a little fragile, but he was not weak at all!

"Okay, let's get down to business. After a while, it's dawn." Ji Xingchen walked to the man's side, saw him paralyzed there in his naked clothes, stretched out his feet in disgust, and threw a cardboard box at him Body kick.

At the end, he turned his head and glanced at Dahei who was squatting quietly behind Meng Kui.

This dog must have grown into a savage, it only bites in awkward places, and it doesn't bite the skin, but the clothes that look good are torn, and all the key parts are exposed.If this person came to his senses, he would probably be ashamed to run away.The good trousers have become crotch-open models, and the wind leaks from the front and back, and running out like this is simply cold.Even if they are not caught up by them, they have to be reported by the citizens.

Ji Xingchen didn't open his yin and yang eyes today, so he couldn't see those weird things, so he asked Meng Qian who was teasing Dahei behind, "Hey, are those cat ghosts you mentioned in the house?"

"No, there isn't one, the room is very clean." Meng Kui didn't dare to look at him because of his guilty conscience.He estimated that there should have been several in the room, but he couldn't hold back halfway and devoured one.Those in the house smelled it and ran away in an instant, which is why the sacrifice was interrupted halfway.Because of this, the man suffered backlash on the spot and passed out.However, it saved them a lot of convenience.

Dahei squatted there quietly, but suddenly shook his ears, stood up and yelled a few times towards the stairs of the cellar.

Meng Xi was taken aback for a moment, and just about to speak, he saw two people coming down from above.

They were wearing police uniforms and holding flashlights in their hands, looking at Meng Xi and the others warily.

"What are you doing, policeman, don't move!"
