Team Xu, Please Hug II

The man hiding behind the tree bent his back, he was relieved to see Xu Yingzhi no longer paying attention to his side.

Then he turned around and ran towards a forest path suddenly.

The road was very narrow, and it was not specially paved with cement. It was just that when there were many people entering the forest, a road was naturally trampled out.

The man walked all the way in from this path, and then he went up to the main road, and he relaxed.

"Secretary Li...where are you going?" Suddenly, a middle-aged woman walked up to him, and she greeted this man named Secretary Li.

When the man saw the woman, he immediately straightened his back, subconsciously put his hands behind his back, and put on an official tone.

"Cough... Sister Wang, you are back from shopping... I have nothing to do, let's take a look at everyone..." The man smiled and continued walking.

"That's right...it's time to go back." Sister Wang also smiled and went back home.

Now when I go back to tidy up, it's time for dinner. Rural people eat early and go to bed early.

Seeing that Sister Wang left, Secretary Li breathed a sigh of relief.

He immediately quickened his pace and went straight to the place where the village cadres worked.

This secretary Li is Li Tao, a distant relative of the village head Li Xinqiang, who came to work here after graduating from university.

After all, he was also a village official.

Li Tao looked around for no one, and immediately rushed to Li Xinqiang's office.

"Pa..." The door of the village chief's office was pushed open, and the door slammed against the wall with a bang, and then bounced back immediately.

Li Xinqiang was startled, and immediately looked up at the door, only to see Li Tao rushing over in a hurry.

"what happened to you……"

"Uncle, it's not good, something happened." Li Tao propped his hands on the desk, looking at Li Xinqiang, whose hair was more than half gray in front of him.

"What's the matter?" Li Xinqiang is not very old, not yet fifty, but his hair has been greyed because of work these years, so he looks much older than his actual age.

"Those policemen found a skeleton in the woods..."

"What? Did you dig it out?" Li Xinqiang got up suddenly when he heard this.

Judging from his tone, he already knew that there was a corpse buried there.

"Yeah... I dug it out, and I'm going to take it away..."

"In addition to the corpse that the villagers reported to the police, they also found the remains nearby..." Li Xinqiang started talking to himself, and what he said was not a question, but an affirmative sentence.

Li Xinqiang frowned tightly, and it could be seen from his face that he was very worried at this moment.

Worried about the remains.

"Uncle... If the higher-ups know that there is still a body buried in our village, it will be even worse, but now the criminal police team is there to deal with it. It seems that there are other groups of people besides Zhou Hongshan. I heard Say..." Li Tao said, leaning against Li Xinqiang.

"The criminal police from City A are also here..."

"The police from City A are here too? How could this be? Is it to investigate the previous cases? Or is it..." Li Xinqiang was talking to himself again.

"Uncle..." Li Tao thought that Li Xinqiang was still worried about being in this position. Apart from things, the higher-ups would blame him as the village chief for not doing a good job, but that was not the case.

Li Xinqiang kept talking to himself, shaking his head and tangling his hands.

He looked tense and bewildered.

"Uncle... are you okay?"

"Should we think about countermeasures?"

"Get out, don't bother me." Li Xinqiang suddenly sat back on his seat, and he opened a drawer, not knowing what to look for inside.

"What's wrong with you? Otherwise, we can say we don't know. The village is so big, there are tourists, dead people are buried, or in that forest, none of us can know." Li Tao said, but But was severely interrupted by Li Xinqiang.

"Get out... Didn't you hear me when I told you to go out?"

Li Tao was dumbfounded by Li Xinqiang's yelling, and then he saw Li Xinqiang found a key from the drawer, which seemed to be very old, and wanted to continue speaking, but was stopped by Li Xinqiang's stern eyes.

Li Xinqiang pointed at the door: "Go out..."

"Okay, I'm going out..."

Li Tao left the office a little resentfully, and then returned to his office.

Li Xinqiang unlocked the next drawer with a key, took out a book from it and put it on the table. It was the strange A6-sized storybook that Xu Yingzhi and the others found in the woods.

It's just that the book in Li Xinqiang's hand is much cleaner, and it looks like it's well-preserved.

In fact, that drawer has been locked all the time, and it is almost impossible to open it on weekdays.

Li Xinqiang looked at the book on the table, frowned, and suddenly...

He felt a pain in his chest, and immediately grabbed the clothes on his chest with his hands.

After a while, he seemed to have calmed down a bit. He stretched out his hand and opened the top drawer again, took out a bottle of medicine from it, unscrewed the lid, poured out two medicines, and stuffed them directly into his mouth. It's like dying.

He didn't have time to drink even a sip of water.

"Huh...huh..." Li Xinqiang kept panting, trying to relieve his uneasy emotions and inner pain.

Indifferently, another fiery red color appeared in front of my eyes, it was the summoning of the devil.

"Dad... it's on fire... what should I do..."

"Don't panic... don't panic..."

……

"Jingle Bell……"

A burst of phone ringing brought Li Xinqiang's thoughts back to reality.

Li Xinqiang stuffed the book back into the drawer, locked it again, and then connected the phone...

……

In the woods—

"Then let's go back first. The survey here is almost done. My people are responsible for bringing the corpse back, and this complete skeleton..."

"How do we take it back? Isn't it all gone?"

Zhou Hongshan felt troubled looking at the skeleton.

"Just pick it up, be careful, don't drop one, the bones are not so fragile, so they won't break. When we get to the forensic room, we will put them together again and conduct tests."

Xue Linqi explained, Zhou Hongshan nodded in understanding, and ordered the bones to be put away.

"Captain Zhou, I have a question, where do we live at night?"

Qian Hong raised his hand suddenly, and asked a little embarrassedly.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was negligent. Regarding your accommodation, I plan to arrange it in a hotel near the police station, but I'm not sure when you will come, so I haven't made a decision yet. I think I will wait until you come to make a decision... ..."

"don’t worry."

"I'm not going...you go on your own, I'll stay here, there must be a room at my sister's place, anyway, as long as there is an internet connection, the B&B's network must be good, and I, by the way, also study that weird legend. "

Xia Sen suddenly spoke up, and everyone looked at him in surprise.
