When I arrived in Quancheng, I saw the streets full of red lanterns and joyful red sets. Then I realized that the New Year is approaching. The New Year will be around in a few days. No wonder Director Song volunteered to me, and it turned out that he wanted the special service team to spend the New Year safely.

In the special service group, except for the three helpless orphans of Xiaobai Huer, Bu Yu, and Dong Zhongming, everyone has families and families. They are busy working outside for a year, but in fact they still have the idea of ​​going home to accompany the elderly. I was so depressed that I had no idea, so I didn’t think much about it. But now I calmed down and was ashamed and said to everyone: “It’s not a few days before the New Year. I will try to solve this task quickly. Then I will give everyone a holiday and go home for the New Year, okay?”

Those who had a home to go back cheered, and the faces of the little white fox and the other two showed joy.

Everyone has been idle for more than half a year and their morale has been maintained quite well. After all, they have defeated the Seven Swords of the Taihang Wu family. They are very energetic and eye-catching now. They will not take the task at this moment seriously, and think that this is just a matter of being able to capture it.

Of course, you should despise the enemy strategically. Tactically, you still have to pay attention to the other party. I keep putting pressure on my team members so that they must not be proud.

Things in the world change rapidly, and any small change may lead to a sharp change in the situation.

After getting off the train, the staff from Quancheng came to pick us up. The head of the provincial bureau was Director Sun.

He expressed his twelve welcome to our arrival. After all, he had experienced the Yellow River locust plague together, and he had witnessed our means and efficiency. Although things and people changed, the special service team was no longer the group of people, but the leader had not changed after all. Moreover, after several years of precipitation, my reputation in the world has been consolidated to a certain extent, so I am extremely enthusiastic.

He served us attentively all the way and brought us to the provincial bureau. Liang Hansheng, the top leader of the provincial bureau, also showed up and showed a close look.

Because I promised the team members to finish the case quickly, I was not too leisurely. However, after experiencing so many things, I also learned to be tactful and did not refuse Liang Hansheng's invitation to welcome the banquet.

There are many roads to success and many means, but connections play an irreplaceable role. Too arrogant and unsociable will undoubtedly add to my future work life.

I can't do Zhao Chengfeng's long-term dance skills, but I can also be easy-going and friendly, so I won't criticize you.

When we arrived at the Shandong Bureau, after a little greeting, we came to the conference room to discuss the business and talked about the incident that occurred in Dajinkou Township, at the foot of Mount Tai. The specific reason was that there were bizarre and huge bats in the countryside recently. At first, the villagers thought that bats represent "blessing", especially during this New Year's time, they thought it was auspicious, and some people even set up incense altars to worship. However, one night, a group of more than twenty bats attacked a mountain village called Jiangjiagou. Four villagers were bitten and dispersed. They didn't think there was anything, but they just put some anti-inflammatory and hemostatic medicines and wrapped them on the wound.

Unexpectedly, the next day, the four of them fell ill in bed. Their families sent him to the township health center. The diagnosis was a viral cold and a high fever. After the doctor gave the fever-reducing injection, the temperature disappeared and he didn't even need to stay in the hospital for observation, so he went home directly.

As a result, it repeated again the next day, and on the third day, the whole person became a cold corpse without temperature and breathing, but he was still conscious and able to speak.

After these people were sent to the township health center, the doctors inside were helpless and took them in. After taking them in, they were ready to be sent to the large hospital in the county. However, after a night, there was no trace of people.

In addition, in the nearby Xinzhuang, Shaling Village and Pozhuangzi mountain villages, this situation also occurred, more or less, and disappeared without a trace. The case was reported to Tai'an City, and then to the Shandong Bureau. After the Religious Bureau took over, it conducted a preliminary investigation of a area near the eastern foot of Mount Tai. As a result, nothing unusual was found. The giant bat that had been wandering before was gone, but this matter had begun to ferment, causing panic among the nearby people. The Shandong Bureau did not have enough staff, so it tried to contact the General Administration for help. Director Song, who was so annoyed by me, took the opportunity to send me and the Special Service team to the team.

I probably learned about the situation. In the conference room, Captain Du Jinse, who was in charge of the case of the Shandong Bureau, introduced to us the results of their work during this period. From my perspective, it is basically professional, but this matter is too strange and I still found no clues.

Director Sun, who was in charge of contact, asked me if I had any specific ideas. I shook my head and said that this thing must be rushed to the scene before I can find out. I don’t have any good suggestions now.

Because it was already very late when we arrived in Shandong. Just after the meeting, Director Liang sent someone to pick us up to the hotel to welcome us.

At the wine table, everyone was going back and forth, and they kept toasting, which seemed very lively.

Director Liang kept praising me, and his attitude was really different from when I came to Shandong before, but when I thought about it carefully, I was probably because my position was even higher than his at this moment.

In an official-oriented environment in China, even in a special agency like the Religious Bureau, your cultivation is better than mine, but the level is even higher, that is, it is absolutely different.

Even so, I was careful to deal with it without any airs.

Qi Jian and Zhao Zhonghua who were walking with me were not old. Surrounded by these old men in the officialdom, they were constantly dealing with the persuasion and compliments, which was really hard. However, it was not a sad thing to hear the continuous compliments of these accompanying guests who came to greet the guests. After a while, many people's faces were red and full of alcohol.

The reception banquet ended in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere. After Director Liang and a group of leaders of the Shandong Bureau left, Director Sun asked me if I should go back to the guesthouse to rest for one night and go to Tai'an tomorrow.

I shook my head and refused, and turned around to ask Captain Du, who came from Tai'an, and asked him how he was in good condition. If he could, we would rush over now.

Captain Du is the person in charge of the case of the Shandong Bureau. His brothers are still eating in the old forest on the eastern foot of Mount Tai. If we want to celebrate the New Year, he naturally wanted to make the matter come to light. He nodded quickly, but seeing that I was so drunk and shaky that I was still a little worried, and asked me if I could hold on.

My anger spread all over my body, and the alcohol suddenly dissipated, but my eyes became clear inexplicably. I smiled and said to him, "What about now?"

Captain Du bowed and said in admiration: "Deputy Director Chen's cultivation is famous, but I underestimate you."

I saw that Director Sun had called the convoy over and called Captain Du into my car. After leaving, I asked Captain Du if there were any famous practitioners in the eastern foothills of Mount Tai, that is, local snakes, and I went to visit him.

Captain Du subconsciously was stunned for a moment, thinking for a long time before answering: "When it comes to Mount Tai, local snakes are naturally the Dai Temple. However, in addition to the wealthy family, there are a few casual cultivators. The closest to the eastern foot of the mountain should be the Golden Knife Lu family with bamboo rounds. However, the Lu family is unique and not close to the religious bureau. I am afraid that our visit is not very welcome..."

I smiled slightly and said, "I don't need their welcome. I'm not treating a meal when handling a case. Why do you need so much politeness?"

In fact, I had basically thought of a way to break the situation at the previous case discussion. There are many practitioners on Mount Tai, and these people are actually the best at knowing the situation of their own acre and three-point land. If you want to know the specific situation, it is better to ask them for a look. Captain Du is not a fool. Seeing my serious appearance, he immediately grasped my ideas and decided to instruct the driver to go straight to the bamboo round.

Quancheng is not far from Tai'an. The car drove all the way. At night, he finally arrived at the village of his destination. Captain Du told the driver not to stop and drove all the way to the front of the Jindaolu family's house.

Captain Du had already introduced to me on the way. The Lu family of Jindao is a branch of the Confucius Mansion's foreign branch. The head of the family is Lu Shichao. He is a good master. He cuts through ghosts and evil spirits with a golden sword. He is quite famous in the eastern part of Lu. After the car stopped, I got out of the car and slowly came to the door of the largest house in the village, asking Captain Du to knock on the door.

It was eleven o'clock at night. Two lanterns were hung in front of the door of the house, illuminating the door for a while. Captain Du called out seven or eight times, and then there was a movement inside. With a squeak, an old man's vicissitudes of face was poked out. One eye was dark and the other was white. He looked at us, and then asked in a duck-like voice: "Who are you?"

Captain Du stepped forward and bowed and said, "This is the Jindao Lu family. We are staff members of the East China Religious Bureau. This is Deputy Director Chen from the General Administration. I want to find your head Lu Shichao to find out the situation."

The old man rolled his eyes and refused without hesitation: "No!"

After saying this, he turned his back and closed the door, leaving Captain Du with an embarrassed look on his face, and I was thinking about it and the cold wind was blowing at the door.

Captain Du saw this situation and called out a few times anxiously, but still did not respond. He turned around and said to me awkwardly: "Deputy Director Chen, this matter... ahem, the Jindao Lu family is not very tempted by the people on the official side, so..."

I looked at the tightly closed door, smiled thoughtfully, then waved my hand and said, "Since the master doesn't welcome you, let's leave the village!"

As I said that, I got into the car without any grudges, and at this moment, a black shadow suddenly left the convoy and jumped onto the high wall of the Lu family.
Chapter completed!
