I am a super cop

Chapter 261 One after another

What Professor Li said was an understatement.

Gu Chen's expression was serious: "Professor Li, don't worry, please speak slowly if you have any questions."

"I didn't know how to talk about it." Professor Li paused on the phone for several seconds, and suddenly said in a daze: "There are two members of our scientific expedition team, which seems a little abnormal."

"You mean... behaving abnormally?" Gu Chen asked.

"No...not." Professor Li suddenly denied it, and said, "They... they seem to be sick, but...but it doesn't look like it."

"Then do you need to contact the hospital for you?" Gu Chen asked again.

Professor Li seemed to be hesitating all the time, and answered the question somewhat, and immediately said: "Maybe I don't need it for the time being, let's talk about it if the situation gets worse."

The more Gu Chen listened, the more confused he became...

At this time, Qi Tian at the side also felt a little unbelievable, and stepped forward to ask about the situation: "A call from the scientific expedition team?"

Gu Chen moved the phone and said: "Yes, Professor Li from the scientific expedition team called. It seems that something strange happened to the base. Two scientific expedition team members were out of order, but Professor Li has no plans to send him to the hospital for the time being. Let's go there."

"That's it." Qi Tian stroked the newly grown stubble, hesitated for a few seconds and said, "Tell him, we'll be right there, so they don't have to worry."

"Okay." Gu Chen nodded, picked up the phone again and said, "Professor Li, you are waiting for us there, don't worry, we will be there soon."

"Then it's up to you."

After exchanging a few simple greetings, the two hung up the phone.

At this time, many old comrades who came to work walked into the office, but saw Gu Chen and Qi Tian put on their equipment again.

Officer Tan, the old comrade, couldn't help but exclaimed, "Hey, I said Gu Chen, great sage, where are you two going?"

"Something happened to the scientific expedition team. Brother Qi and I went over to check on the situation." Gu Chen said as he walked, and quickly ran out of the building.

"Something happened to the scientific expedition team?" Officer Tan hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said, "But aren't the two of them off duty? It seems that I will take over now, right?"

Just as he was thinking, the police siren sounded outside the window, and Gu Chen drove away directly.

Not long after, they came to the outskirts of the uninhabited village.

Several security personnel were chatting outside the cordon.

Seeing the police cars coming, they all gave way to both sides of the road.

Gu Chen parked the car at the door of an old house, where the scientific expedition team packed up for Professor Li to rest and work.

As soon as I got out of the car, I found Professor Li standing at the door with a serious expression on his face.

"What's wrong, Professor Li?" Gu Chen asked after getting out of the car.

The current Professor Li is completely different from the Professor Li yesterday, at least in terms of mental state.

"Officer Gu, Officer Qi, you will find out when you come with me." Professor Li didn't say anything, just lowered his head and walked silently to another ancient house.

Pushing open the door, Professor Li stepped aside and said, "Usually at this time, the two of them would have already woken up to work, but from today to now, both of them have been sleeping like demons, and they haven't woken up until now."

"It's easy to handle." Qi Tian also hummed and smiled, thinking that Professor Li was stumped by such a trivial matter?

It is certain that scientific research and excavation work is hard...

I had a heavy workload yesterday, so it’s normal that I can’t get out of bed today, isn’t it?

Taking a closer look, the people sleeping on the side-by-side beds are Xiao Zhang, Professor Li's assistant, and Xiao He, Professor Peng's assistant.

Qi Tian walked to Xiao Zhang's side first, stretched out his palm and slapped Xiao Zhang's face back and forth: "Get up, get up, your master is too busy, did you hear me when you got up?"

At first Qi Tian thought it was a trivial matter, but after he slapped him, he found that Xiao Zhang, who was lying on the bed, couldn't wake up no matter how much he slapped him, as if he had completely lost consciousness.

"What's going on?" Gu Chen who was on the side asked in amazement.

Qi Tian was also taken aback: "I... I don't know what's going on?"

Then Gu Chen hurried to Xiao Zhang's side, observed his breath and pulse, but found that everything was normal again.

Qi Tian was not reconciled, so he slapped Xiao He's face a few more times, but he couldn't help this sleepy Xiao He.

"Strange." Qi Tian was really confused now: "What's wrong with these two? Didn't they be fine yesterday?"

"I don't know what's going on. The two of them were really well yesterday, but today... today, they were lying motionless on the bed like dead people. At that time, I thought that the two of them were snoozing, but later I found out I can’t wake up no matter what, it feels really evil.”

"It must be bewitched, it must be." At this time, everyone realized that Professor Wang's assistant, Ah Fu, was standing at the door at the moment, looking at Xiao Zhang and Xiao He in a daze.

"Ah Fu, what are you doing here if you don't go to work?" Professor Li said involuntarily when he saw this.

Ah Fu shook his head, and said with a solemn face: "Professor Li, this... this place is really evil, I asked the nearby residents, and they all said that it is unlucky to build this village here, and there are always disasters. "

"Think about it, if this place can make people live richly, why did they move? Why are there ancient tombs here? Maybe those who died in the disaster were buried underground, and they died because of the plague. "

"Look at the feng shui layout again." Ah Fu suddenly pointed to the nearby mountains, and said, "Judging from this topography, the place where the village is located must be a dead place, and it was a complete mistake to build it here."

"I said long ago that there must be a curse here, but you don't believe it. Now Xiao Zhang and Xiao He are unconscious. How do you explain this?"

"Enough." Professor Li also slapped the table fiercely, and said angrily, "Ah Fu, don't confuse people with false rumors here, but believe in science. What the hell are you cursing? Have you read too many supernatural novels?"

"I……"

Ah Fu wanted to quibble again, but was angered by Professor Li: "Ah Fu, do you still want to do it? Don't you need money for your mortgage and car loan? If you don't want to do it, get out of here."

I was also so angry by Ah Fu that my liver hurt.

Originally, as the team leader and person in charge of the scientific research base, Professor Li had a heavy burden on him.

Thinking about the press conference a few days later and the progress of the work on site, Professor Li didn't want to be messed up.

But Ah Fu came to say some inexplicable curses at this time, which made Professor Li unacceptable.

"Hey! If you don't listen to me, you will suffer sooner or later." Ah Fu also put on a helpless look, and left with a sigh.

"This Ah Fu is interesting!" Gu Chen was also a little baffled by the conversation between the two.

Professor Li shook his head and said, "This Ah Fu was not well-educated at first, because he had worked as a small worker in the hands of Professor Wang before, and was discovered by Professor Wang. He was very good at digging cultural relics, so he was trained by Professor Wang Assistant, but I like to talk about gods and ghosts all day long, which is very troublesome."

"You also know that in our archaeological business, the most taboo is these fallacies. If you talk about these things all day long, isn't that cursing yourself? Our archaeology is also to study history."

"Professor Li, don't worry, maybe these two people are really too tired, or I'll call a doctor to come over to see later, if there is no major problem, then forget it, just come here to check everyone's health, if there is something wrong , then just take it away for treatment, do you think it will work?"

Qi Tian was comforting Professor Li while giving his own opinion.

Professor Li is very helpless, and he looks a little at a loss now, not knowing how to deal with this situation.

Gu Chen, on the other hand, is carefully studying the situation of the two of them.

Although there are basic characteristics of various death methods in Liu Fayi's handwritten notes, they do not exist here.

The assistants Xiao Zhang and Xiao He were just asleep, and judging from their states, there was nothing suspicious about them.

"Gu Chen, have you noticed anything?" Qi Tian turned to ask Gu Chen after discussing the countermeasures with Professor Li.

"Not at all." Gu Chen stood up, sighed and said, "This is the first time I have encountered this state. Both of them are in good condition, but they just look weird. Let the doctor come and take a look later. .”

"That's fine, we can only do this first." Professor Li couldn't come up with a better solution, so he could only reluctantly agree.

With a fruitless police situation, Gu Chen drove Qi Tian back to the Haitang Police Station.

Everyone is busy with their own things.

Since Gu Chen and Qi Tian were on night shift last night, they had a day off during the day.

Qi Tian chose to go back to the dormitory to sleep, while Gu Chen chose to drive to the Jiangnan City Library to look for medical books.

But the situation of Xiao Zhang and Xiao He in the uninhabited village of Haitang Town is very rare.

Gu Chen was busy from afternoon to night, but still had no results, so he had to drive back to Haitang Police Station again.

Another morning.

When Gu Chen and Qi Tian returned to Haitang Police Station after breakfast, the landline in the office rang again.

This time, both Gu Chen and Qi Tian chose to remain silent for a few seconds, as if they both had an ominous premonition.

"Gu Chen, you go and pick it up." Qi Tian, ​​who was sitting on the sofa, said.

"No problem." Gu Chen stepped forward and pressed the hands-free button: "Hello, this is the duty room of Haitang Police Station. May I help you?"

The other end of the phone was silent for a few more seconds, and then I heard Professor Li's trembling voice: "Yes...it's Officer Gu, right? Professor Li of our scientific expedition team."

"Oh?" Gu Chen was stunned, then turned to look at Qi Tian.

At this moment, Qi Tian is the same as himself, his eyes are also confused, and he feels that it should not be a good thing.

"Is there something wrong with you again? Are Mr. Zhang and Mr. He awake?" Gu Chen asked.

Professor Li said helplessly, "No, I haven't woken up since yesterday."

"Still awake?" Gu Chen couldn't help being taken aback, and then asked: "Did a doctor go there yesterday?"

"Yes, there is." Professor Li hesitated for a moment, and said lightly: "The doctor checked that there was no problem, but he just didn't know what was going on, and he couldn't wake up no matter how much he called. Later, the doctor gave some simple physical examinations to everyone in the scientific expedition team. Then left."

Qi Tian felt that it didn't make sense, so he also asked: "Then we should send these two to a big hospital in the city and see what the doctors there say."

"I also have this idea, but...but the key is." Professor Li hesitated to speak, and was silent for a few seconds before saying: "But the key is that early this morning, the logistics driver, Master Xiao, also started to wake up. Now the symptoms of the whole person are exactly the same as those of Xiao Zhang and Xiao He."

"What... what? Master Xiao is unconscious too?" Qi Tian was also taken aback for a moment, feeling completely dazed.

Two yesterday, one today, what the hell is going on?
Gu Chen who was on the side hurriedly asked, "How about the archaeological base now?"

"Then what else?" Professor Li also said helplessly: "Now the entire archaeological base has been shut down, and everyone doesn't know who will be next, and everyone is starting to panic. It really feels like a curse. One small worker has already quit, and the ones who stayed...don't dare to continue working."

"So serious?" Gu Chen was also surprised.

A lethargy incident caused so many things, which completely exceeded my expectations.

"Then how can we do without construction? You have notified the press conference time in advance, do you want to cancel it temporarily?" Qi Tian was also anxious for the scientific expedition team.

"I don't know what to do, so I dare not tell others. I have ordered all the personnel working at the archaeological base to absolutely not spread the news, so as not to be over-interpreted."

Through the phone, Gu Chen and Qi Tian could feel the helplessness and helplessness in Professor Li's heart.

"You wait first, we'll go there now." Gu Chen pressed the hang up button, turned around and said, "Senior Brother Qi, it seems that this is not an accidental incident, I think there must be something weird about it."

"You mean... artificial?" Qi Tian asked.

"That's right, I'm sure it's man-made, because it's impossible for such a coincidence." Gu Chen never believed in evil.

Contact the situation of the assistants Xiao Zhang and Xiao He the day before, and today's driver, Master Xiao.

It seems to indicate that there will be other things to happen next.

Without time to think, Gu Chen drove to the uninhabited village again.

Unlike yesterday, there seems to be no sign of work in today's uninhabited village.

Everyone sat in groups of threes and twos in front of and behind the house, and many people were packing their luggage, as if they wanted to leave.

Gu Chen parked the car at the door of Professor Li's residence again, got out of the car and asked a staff member, "Where is Professor Li?"

"That room." The staff pointed to an old house.

"Thank you." Gu Chen didn't have time to think, so he ran quickly with Qi Tian.

At the door of the old house at this moment, Professor Li was sitting alone on the threshold, holding his head in his hands, as if he was meditating or waiting.

"Professor Li." Qi Tian walked over first.

Professor Li raised his head, pointed to the room and said, "People are inside, go in and see for yourself."

Qi Tian looked back at Gu Chen, and the two hurried into the house.

Like yesterday's assistants Xiao Zhang and Xiao He, today's driver, Master Xiao, is also lying on his bed at the moment.

"I can't wake you up, right?" Gu Chen turned around and asked Professor Li.

"That's right, it's the same as yesterday." Professor Li was haggard, and his speech became weak.

When everyone first entered the uninhabited village a few days ago, everyone had smiles on their faces.

But now everything has changed...

One after another, the scientific expedition team had this strange symptom, which made the originally confident scientific expedition team lose their fighting spirit overnight.

Qi Tian frowned and said: "I suggest that the construction be stopped immediately, and the surrounding situation must be investigated."

"Officer Qi." Professor Li couldn't help but smiled bitterly, and said, "You don't need to tell them now, they won't do it anymore."

"In order to protect everyone's safety, I have ordered everyone to stop what they are doing and wait quietly for the police to investigate."

"Now some people are ready to pack up and go home. Many people dare not stay here anymore."

"None of them knew when this strange bad luck would befall them."

Seeing that Gu Chen was staring at him, Professor Li simply stood up, walked up to Gu Chen and said, "Officer Gu, do you know that when people know that they are going to die tomorrow, they will have nothing to fear, because it is a way of escaping?" Unforgettable bad luck.”

"On the contrary, when people don't know what bad luck they will face tomorrow, it will be a very terrifying existence."

"This kind of fear will make people lose their fighting spirit and their denial of the truth they believed in in the past, just like...just like him."

Professor Li suddenly pointed to Ah Fu, who was spreading curses to people not far away, and said, "Like this Ah Fu, he has always believed in the existence of curses. At first, everyone thought he was talking nonsense."

"But now everyone is starting to be afraid, because Ah Fu's curse seems to be coming true, and everyone is starting to believe instead of not believing. Now I can no longer direct everyone to continue working."

"This place is a mess right now. People are not in harmony. Everyone wants to leave this damned place quickly. What do you think I can do?"

Hearing Professor Li's helpless appeal, Qi Tian's face turned dark at that time, and he said angrily: "It must be this Ah Fu, I'll go find him and ask him."

After Qi Tian finished speaking, he turned around and walked quickly towards a big tree.

"I'll go and have a look too." Gu Chen didn't dare to slack off, and followed in two steps.

Under the big tree at this moment, Ah Fu was still chattering in front of everyone.

"Let me tell you, it's really unlucky here. The feng shui is not good. There must be a curse here. Believe me, it's better to find a reason to ask for leave and leave. You can't stay in this place. Really... eh?"

Ah Fu wanted to continue talking, but Qi Tian grabbed him by the collar and walked back with him.

"Eh? Officer Qi, you... what are you doing? Don't pull my clothes, Officer Qi, help me quickly."

Qi Tiancai ignored it, and dragged Ah Fu to Professor Li like a piggy.

And the people who had listened to Ah Fu's bewitchment just now were also confused at the moment, and began to discuss heatedly without knowing why.

"Why did the police arrest Ah Fu?"

"I don't know, Ah Fu committed a crime?"

"Could it be that Ah Fu has something to do with this matter?"

"I don't know, why don't you go and have a look?"

"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go."

Many people put down their things and followed Ah Fu to Professor Li.

"Ah Fu, are you playing tricks on this matter?" Qi Tian threw Ah Fu hard and asked him angrily.
