Midnight Bookstore

“This coffee, why is it getting more and more wrong? Could it be that I’m tired of it?”

The downstairs of the study,

Lawyer An was still studying the coffee in his hand,

the huge thermos bottle was filled to the brim.

“Could it be that the boss suddenly doesn’t mind me drinking this, so the coffee doesn’t taste good to me?”

Lawyer An usually did not drink coffee. In his previous life, he liked to drink tea, but now that he had become in this “State,” he couldn’t sleep at all. Drinking coffee again, was he looking for excitement for himself?

Only a certain salted fish did not have the trouble of sleeping and only drank this every day.

However, the specific reason was actually very simple. Lawyer An really had not drunk the so-called instant solution. He had always been a person who pursued the refinement of life.

And because of this…

even after Bai Yingying changed the coffee…

he could not tell.

A police car stopped at the door of the study,

the screeching sound of the brakes was simply outrageous.

Lawyer An suddenly stood up and saw Old Zhang walking in in a hurry.

“What’s Wrong?”Lawyer An asked.

Although he looked down on Old Zhang’s ability, even now, he still thought that the boss had turned Old Zhang into one of the Five Great Ghost Guards under him. It was a loss-making business that was emotional.

However, he still recognized Old Zhang’s temperament and his calmness. Even when he was sacrificing himself, he was not this flustered.

“Something’s Happened!”Old Zhang shouted. “Where’s The Boss?”

Lawyer An reached out and poked his head. “He’s taking a nap.”

Old Zhang immediately rushed up the stairs. The sound of footsteps could be heard.

Lawyer An shook his head and wondered what had happened. Why was he in such a hurry?

“Knock, Knock, knock! Knock, Knock!”

Someone knocked on the bedroom door.

Bai Yingying glanced at the boss and the Little Loli who was sleeping beside her,

she got up,

she walked to the door and opened it.

The first thing she saw was an anxious-looking Old Zhang.

“Why isn’t the boss answering his phone? The first time he called, he wasn’t in the service area. The second time he called, his phone was turned off. The third time he called, his phone was turned off!”

“This…”

Bai Yingying did not know how to explain herself,

because she knew very well…

with Old Zhang’s experience as a criminal police officer, it was impossible for him not to have guessed that Zhou Ze had blacklisted his number.

“Hurry up and wake the boss up. Something has happened.”

“No, the boss has ordered that no one is allowed to disturb his sleep!”

Bai Yingying said firmly.

“Hurry up and wake him up. Something has really happened. We have to wake him up!”

As he said that,

Old Zhang walked straight inside, intending to lift Zhou Ze up from the bed.

But…

in the next moment…

the one who was lifted up…

was himself, Zhang Yanfeng.

Zhang Yanfeng’s feet were suspended in the air, shaking non-stop,

but his collar was grabbed by Bai Yingying and lifted up.

“The Boss hates people disturbing his rest the most. Even if it’s a huge matter, you’re not allowed to wake him up!”

Old Zhang was really angry and anxious,

he wanted to resist,

but he was no match for Bai Yingying,

he was a pretty weak ghost. Because his soul had never been to hell before, he was considered the weakest among the ghost guards.

It was really easy for a female zombie to deal with him. Even if it was a criminal police’s capture skill, it was still okay to deal with ordinary criminals, but to deal with a violent female zombie?

It was unrealistic.

Of course, this was also because Old Zhang had dug too many holes in the past. Every now and then, he would ask Zhou Ze to help him investigate the case. Boss Zhou had long been dissatisfied with this. Once or twice was fine, but more times… Boss Zhou was sick of it.

“Something happened to old Daoist. He was caught!”

“Huh?”Bai Yingying was stunned,

she glanced at Zhou Ze, who was still sleeping on the bed,

then, she thought about the old Daoist,

she thought for a moment,

then, she said,

“So what if he was caught? It’s more important for the boss to sleep.”

“…” Zhang Yanfeng.

“…” the old Daoist, who was not at the scene, was speechless.

Zhang Yanfeng felt that he really could not make sense of this female zombie. At this moment, he simply shouted at the top of his lungs,

“Something happened! ! ! !”

The Little Loli sat up from the bed and stared at Old Zhang unhappily.

This sister who was the last to enter the sect was really too unruly!

Zhou Ze also frowned and opened his eyes. He slowly sat up.

“Another case happened?”Zhou Ze glanced at Old Zhang who was being held by Yingying and asked impatiently.

“Old Daoist was treated as a murderer and was caught by the Special Task Force. The situation is very urgent now. The Special Task Force has already listed him as the current biggest suspect!”

Zhou Ze’s gaze focused,

he looked at Old Zhang with some doubt,

“Are you not joking?”

The man had gone to a brothel until they lost contact,

the old Daoist went to a brothel and directly turned himself into a murderer?

“I’m not joking. Moreover, a lot of evidence is pointing at him now. Even I don’t know where so much evidence came from!”!

“Not only the latest case, but the old Daoist was also at the scene. His fingerprints and surveillance footage were also on the murder weapon. Some clues from the previous investigation even pointed at the old Daoist.”

Zhou Ze sat by the bed and looked at Old Zhang. He asked,

“You were at the scene when the arrest was made?”

Old Zhang was stunned,

“Trash.”

“…” Old Zhang.

… ..

In the car, Old Zhang was driving while Zhou Ze was sitting in the passenger seat with an indifferent expression.

At the back,

Bai Yingying and the Little Loli were sitting

Old An drove his car and followed behind with the little monkey. Only Xu Qinglang and the death attendant were left in the study room to watch the house.

“Don’t be rash.”Zhang Yanfeng hesitated for a moment and said.

Zhou Ze glanced at Old Zhang and said, “I don’t know the case, and I don’t know the scene either. I only want to ask you one thing. Do you think that this old Daoist could be the murderer?”

“I don’t believe that he could be the murderer, but…”

“Then there’s no buts.”

Zhou Ze interrupted Zhang Yanfeng’s words.

“The problem now is that a lot of evidence inexplicably points to him. We have to investigate this matter clearly.”

“Of course, we have to investigate. However, regardless of whether or not we find anything in the end, I can’t let the old Daoist take the blame.”

“Things won’t come to this.”

“I also hope it won’t come to this.”

Because Old Zhang was driving a police car, the car entered the police station without any obstruction. After getting out of the car, Zhou Ze gestured for Bai Yingying and the Little Loli to wait in the car,

he followed Old Zhang into the police station.

Looking at the backs of the two disappearings after entering the hall,

the Little Loli nudged Bai Yingying’s waist with her elbow and said,

“It’s rare to see our boss so serious.”

A salted fish suddenly stood up straight. This sense of incongruity was indeed surprising.

“Boss said that he only hopes that everyone is safe and sound.”Bai Yingying did not think much of it. “Boss knows what he should do.”

Lawyer An parked his car in front of the police station in the distance,

he reached out and hugged the monkey, who had been jumping around restlessly,

the monkey squeaked,

he kept waving the plastic toy hammer in his hand,

he looked like he was going to break out of jail!

It was not that the veteran had never been to the police station before, driving without a license, or even handling D products,

but the monkey knew that,

this time, it was different,

very different.

“Don’t worry, don’t worry. It’s fine, it’s fine.”

Lawyer An was very calm,

“Let’s see how the matter develops next. Come, let uncle take a look at you. Do you have lice on your body?”

..

Old Zhang walked in front with a gloomy expression

Zhou Ze walked in the back with an even gloomier expression.

The two of them walked in the corridor of the police station one after the other, exuding an aura that no one was allowed to enter.

“Boss, don’t be rash. This is the police station. You also said that we ghost guards can’t come to the agency of the living world to be impudent.”

“Old Zhang, I’ll say the ugly words first.”

“Speak.”

“I’ll allow you to continue to sway between your identity as a ghost guard and that of a criminal police officer. But at this time, I’m asking you to treat yourself as a ghost guard.”

“I know.”

“No, you don’t know.”Zhou Ze reached out his hand and pressed on Old Zhang’s shoulder. He said in a deep voice, “It’s impossible for me to kill someone.”

“Yes, I think so too.”

“So, this matter is very simple. Either someone is deliberately trying to mess with him, or someone is trying to use his hand to mess with me!”

Zhou Ze gritted his teeth. Although he did not know what exactly was going on behind the scenes, he instinctively sensed a sense of crisis.

“If someone wants to mess with me, then my subordinates, the ghost errand boy, the people in the study room, and even you, won’t be able to escape.

“I’m not you. I’m a selfish person. I won’t be willing to sacrifice myself. You know this.”

..

“Captain, that prisoner has just been interrogated and is being escorted to the detention center.”

“Bring it up again. I still have some questions.”

“Okay, Captain.”

Zhou Ze and Old Zhang sat in the interrogation room together,

this was against the rules,

it was very against the rules,

it could be imagined that at this time, Old Zhang had indeed made things much more convenient.

He was not a person who did not know how to be flexible. Under the premise that he did not harm society and did not commit fundamental mistakes, he still knew what it meant to adapt to local conditions.

Zhou Ze closed his eyes,

his left hand turned the pen,

how long had it been since he calmed down? was something going to come knocking on his door again.

With the sudden appearance of Xu Qinglang’s master the last time, he had almost taught everyone in the study room a lesson by killing them one by one,

Zhou Ze was now exceptionally sensitive to such matters,

it was just that…

he was very helpless now,

until now, he still did not understand the reason behind this matter,

was it aimed at the old Daoist himself,

or was it aimed at him, Zhou Ze?

If it was the former, then the problem could still be controlled and solved easily.

If it was the latter..

Zhou Ze took a deep breath,

the speed at which he spun the pen in his hand was also accelerated,

he remembered that when the idiot was sealing the consciousness in his body,

that consciousness had once roared,

it said that he would wait and see how long it would take before he had to personally break the seal and ask for help from his power.

His mind kept spinning,

the old Daoist was escorted over by the police officers and sat on the interrogation chair, handcuffed.

Zhou Ze slowly opened his eyes,

then…

he was shocked by the old Daoist’s messy appearance and cloudy eyes,

at this moment!

The pen in his hand stopped spinning in an instant,

Zhou Ze’s body also slowly leaned forward,

old Daoist…

how could it be like this!
