—Dear Enemy·Wedra—

An electric light rolled across the sky, and the thunder from far and near made the iron sheet buzzing above my head.

The rain was too heavy, and debris stuffed the drain, which was not big and wide, and sewage was rumbling. The woman standing under the eaves of the iron roof cursed, and took out her cell phone to dial, and the wet light spread on her legs. Because her skirt was too short, she stomped her feet continuously.

"How long will it take?" she shouted at the phone, "I'll say I'll be back in ten minutes, it's been half an hour!"

The reply was very blurry, and the thunder was getting louder and louder. She didn't dare to touch her phone again, so she simply turned off.

The street lights flashed in the rain curtain, and the anxiety of not being able to open the door made her feel excited. She kept looking at the intersection while cursing.

A man in a raincoat ran over from the intersection. The black hood almost covered his entire head. When he ran closer, the woman suddenly found that the man was wearing a mask and a pair of big glasses. She subconsciously took a few steps back and leaned against the wall.

The man walked into the iron sheet, carefully took off his glasses, and shook off the water droplets on the lenses.

With the light, the woman saw that something was wrong with his fingers. When she looked at him for a few more times, she found that they were all wrinkled.

The man turned his head, put on his glasses, and glanced at the woman.

The woman subconsciously covered her mouth and nose and stuck it to the wall, but she had no place to retreat. Her luck was so bad: she actually encountered a half-zombie-turned human! At the moment of avoiding and annoyance, she seemed to have seen the surrounding air full of vitality zombie viruses, rushing towards her in groups, swaying her teeth and claws.

"How to get out of the police station?" the man suddenly asked.

His voice was hoarse and unpleasant, like a sharp noise suddenly bursting out when he was writing chalk on the blackboard.

The woman didn't dare to speak at all, so she raised her hand and pointed in a direction randomly.

"Do you... live here?" the man asked again, "Have you seen two old men passing by here, probably so tall, the man is wearing gray..."

"I haven't seen it before!" the woman screamed, "I don't know anything!"

The sound of rain became dense again. She regretted after yelling: What if he annoyed this person and attacked him? But after a long time, the woman turned her head and looked carefully. There was no one under the iron roof.

The street lights were extinguished when the lightning was raging, and the street suddenly seemed to be broken. The man ran into the darkness, staring at the direction where he disappeared, and spat in a low voice, "Unfortunate".

—Dear enemy—

May has begun in a blink of an eye. As the middle of the year approaches, all departments of the Crisis Office are getting nervous and preparing for the mid-year review and report.

The only exception is the Criminal Investigation Department. They are busy at any time, no matter the beginning of the year or the end of the year.

Early that morning, Lei Chi rushed to the office and the first thing he did was to call his team members to have a meeting.

Their team is responsible for investigating various related figures in the Cai Mingyue infant killing incident. Last night, news came from other provinces and cities that all the babies who died at Cai Mingyue's hands, their families have been found by various Crisis Office branches.

This is the most complex and difficult part of the entire incident. More than thirty years have passed, some people have died, some people have moved away, and some people have hidden their names to avoid creditors. Fortunately, special humans have always been under strict supervision. Although it is extremely difficult, they still found them all.

There are 154 dead babies. In addition to chromosomal mutants, that is, sentinel guides, there are also a few semi-zombie humans and underground people who have been infected in the mother body, as well as a few tea maids.

"I'll go, Cha Lao?! Is Cha Lao recognized as a super rare human internationally? It's the same level as Quannu." A team member looked through the information and asked, "There are less than 100 Cha Laos registered in the country now, but they actually..."

"There's no way, probably because of the appearance. My parents and relatives think it's scary, so they just don't want it."

Lei Chi looked at the information in his hand and said nothing.

The situation was more serious than he had originally thought. Of the 154 children, 35 were disabled, and the rest were completely healthy babies, including 67 babies. They were all killed by their relatives and Cai Mingyue.

Just because "not wanting".

"Is Cha Lao a special human being who is very old and old all his life?" The young man who just joined the group last year, "They are always in the form of old people, right?"

Lei Chi nodded: "Cha Lao is both women. She was already in her seventies or eighties when she was born. She died a lot in ancient times, and they were all treated as monsters."

They were born in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Fujian, and have been rolling in the mountains since childhood. They now exist in various legends of monsters and legends everywhere. They often describe "naturally old women" and other words, which are almost always the same as tea masters. But tea masters are all born tea-serving masters: the tea gardens and botanical gardens that tea masters are always better and more prosperous than the gardens that others take care of. They seem to be born to know how to communicate with the heaven and earth, and are naturally knowledgeable about how to adapt plants to different phenological solar terms. In recent years, tea masters have been increasingly valued. The famous tea masters often travel around the country to guide different tea gardens.

"...What a pity." The young team member murmured.

Lei Chi glanced at him: "It's not because of this."

The young man nodded quickly, and after a pause, he searched for the information in front of him: "By the way, the team leader, there is one person who has not been found."

"who?"

"The child Cai Mingyue didn't kill in the end."

Lei Chi frowned and immediately took the information in his hand.

The children who had been reborn on the same day did not leave any information in the information. They could only learn from what Cai Mingyue said at that time and the testing information left by the hospital. He was a guide.

"He is from Wuhan, Hubei, and his parents registered address is Qiaokou District..." The young man reported the situation to other members. "But the people from the Hubei office went to investigate. The house was sold thirty years ago. Where the family moved later, the neighbors and buyers didn't know. They bought the house in a hurry and the price was not high."

According to information, the couple has not registered their marriage. The father's name is Zhou Xuefeng, and his last message is the death certificate more than ten years ago.

"The Hubei office checked very carefully. Zhou Xuefeng and his cohabitants did give birth to a baby boy, but he did not register. The family of three later moved back to Zhou Xuefeng's hometown, near Shennongjia. There were not many people in the village, but the old man still remembered Zhou Xuefeng and his wife and son."

Zhou Xuefeng was not good to his wife and children. He was carried out to help with farm work at the age of three or four. He often heard beatings and scoldings and crying women at home. The child was bruised and swollen, and he didn't like to talk when he saw people. He often squatted at the door of the house to play with his own puppy. The dog would be beaten by him, or slapped with a rattan, and after the beat, he took it to find food and combed it carefully to clean it. The villagers only remembered that the child was very strange and did not play with his peers. He stayed alone with the dog and muttered to the open space.

There are several stories circulating in the village, most of which are related to the mother and son. The two in the story are monsters, who can drive ghosts and chat and laugh with lonely ghosts that cannot be seen, which is daunting.

"When the child was about seven or eight years old, Zhou Xuefeng's wife disappeared. People in the village said that Zhou Xuefeng beat him too fiercely, and the woman couldn't stand it and left, but they couldn't tell when he disappeared. The woman was beaten so hard by Zhou Xuefeng and often had to stay in bed. It was common for not seeing anyone for ten days and half a month. The villagers usually called her Afang, but no one knew what the specific name was. The village party secretary and the old man scolded Zhou Xuefeng, saying that he beat his wife too ruthlessly. Zhou Xuefeng said that his wife was mentally abnormal and would go out to kill people if she didn't beat him. Later, no one persuaded her."

Lei Chi: "The identity of a woman is easy to check. She registered her name and ID card when she was hospitalized in the 267th Hospital. But what happened to her disappearance? Don't be careless about this, continue to check it down. Their family may be an important witness to the Cai Mingyue incident."

"But Zhou Xuefeng died and the child disappeared." The young man seemed a little embarrassed. "The child had not registered his household registration and had not registered his population information at all. How to check it?"

There is a photo of a family of three in the information on Lei Chi. It was a completely inconsistent photo. The three people in the photo all looked gloomy. Zhou Xuefeng was tall and strong, with dark skin. The woman standing beside him looked very thin. She cringed her shoulders when she looked up, with messy long hair, and her eyes fell to the ground. The child was only three or four years old, and was held in her arms by a woman. Her eyes were extremely cold when she looked at the camera.

This was taken by the village when they were renovating their house, and it seemed to be the only photo left by the family.

Shortly afterwards, Zhou Xuefeng's wife disappeared from home. Six years later, Zhou Xuefeng died of a rock falling on the top of the mountain.

"This child must be investigated." Lei Chi issued an order, "He is a guide and should be in his thirties now. If he is still alive, he must work and earn money and must register his identity. A special human being without identity certificates cannot survive in this society."

.

When the Criminal Investigation Department was so busy that it was not touching the ground, the Adjustment Department finally ended this year's college entrance examination "sea area" inspection after working crazy overtime for a month.

But after the end, I still have to continue working overtime: thousands of documents need to be classified and sorted, and there are only four people in the adjustment department, which is not enough.

Qin Ge went to find Gao Tianyue, but Gao Tianyue told him that it was May and many projects had to be progressed before the mid-year assessment, so all departments were also busy.

"You are all young people in your subjects, work hard, ah." Gao Tianyue smiled and fiddled with his hair.

Qin Ge complained in his heart, but also won a bonus for several people in the department. Before leaving, Gao Tianyue said that he was cunning, and Qin Ge couldn't hear whether he praised or played. In short, it was absolutely wrong to say "Director Gao is still wise."

Bai Xiaoyuan is no longer wearing makeup now. Tang Cuo asked her why she didn’t trim her outline. She said that makeup is for people to see, but these three in the department are not considered human beings and can’t waste expensive cosmetics.

Xie Zijing scoffed: "Why do you have to find so many excuses for your laziness?"

Bai Xiaoyuan: "The lazy thing is you. What have you done! As a sentry who is famous for the entire crisis, what have you done besides calling for a call to buy food!"

The sand cat sat upright on the information raised on Bai Xiaoyuan's desk, and roared at Xie Zijing with a roar.

Xie Zijing did not dare to argue with the angry female sentry and rushed into the form in front of him.

Qin Ge came back from Gao Tianyue's office and barely cheered up: "Forget it, these are all confidential information, let's do it ourselves. After doing it, there will be a bonus, and I will make up for everyone."

In the roar of the sand cat and the wailing of Tang Cuo, Qin Ge assigned them a task again. He and Bai Xiaoyuan were responsible for writing summary, Tang Cuo provided various data analysis, Xie Zijing claimed that he did not understand administrative work, and Qin Ge asked him to sort out the forms of all students according to the different problems detected, and cooperated with Bai Xiaoyuan to make them into forms that meet the standards, so that they could be submitted to the Special Management Committee later.

Bai Xiaoyuan, who had the heaviest task, rubbed his kitten's head until he finished: "I'm starving to death, Qin Ge, I want to have a midnight snack."

Qin Ge dared not disobey. After staring at them one by one, he ran to the door of the crisis office to wait for takeout.

Xie Zijing watched his back disappear, turned around and found that Bai Xiaoyuan and Tang Cuo were both looking at him.

His eyes were sticky and ambiguous, and there was a salty and wet smile on the corners of his mouth.

"Fuck, disgusting." Xie Zijing shook his shoulders, "What are you doing?"

"It's disgusting?" Bai Xiaoyuan asked.

"It's very disgusting. What are your unfair thoughts about me?" Xie Zijing said.

Tang Cuo and Bai Xiaoyuan looked at each other and smiled at the same time: "It's right to be disgusting. You have been watching Qin Ge like this recently."

Xie Zijing: “…”

Bai Xiaoyuan: "What are your inappropriate thoughts about Qin Ge?"

Xie Zijing: "We have dated."

Tang Chou: "Have you woke up yet?"

Xie Zijing thought he could not communicate with them, so he smiled, turned on the computer and started searching for keywords such as "Learn Excel Forms in One Minute".

After eating the skewers, everyone in the adjustment department rubbed their stomachs and continued to work at their desks. The night was already very deep, and Xie Zijing started to sleep poorly these days. At this time, he looked at the lines of characters on the computer and kept yawning.

He wanted to stay at Qin Ge's house, but Qin Ge did not allow it. The two seemed to be in love, but Xie Zijing was not sure. He thought about it for a while and concluded that "the office romance is not easy to talk about" because both of them were too busy; at the same time, Qin Ge was shy and could not force it too tightly. After all, it was a reunion, and everything had to be progressive and take it slowly.

"I'll go smoke a cigarette." He rushed out of the office building with a lighter and cigarette case.

The surroundings were already very quiet, only the first floor adjustment department and the criminal investigation department upstairs were still on. As soon as Xie Zijing walked outside, he was immediately covered with a face of the sunshine coming from the shop. He rubbed his face and touched the white hair. He couldn't help but sneeze several times in a row.

He was completely unacceptable to the poplar floes that were filled with spring in the streets and alleys. At the beginning, he was completely unable to work that week. Even when he returned home, he kept sneezing and coughing, and his nose kept flowing, and his whole heart was dizzy. Even if he went out for three minutes, he felt his nose and throat were filled with ticks.

It was Qin Ge's anti-allergic drugs and masks and glasses that saved him.

Fortunately, in May, there were fewer poplar shovels, and Xie Zijing dared to sway outside without wearing a mask and glasses. He walked to the leeward to light a cigarette, and looked up and saw a person coming out of the carport. It was Lei Chi who had just arrived at the crisis.

"On duty?" Xie Zijing asked.

"Well, I'm too busy with work. The time limit assigned by the Special Management Commission is these few days. You can't do it if you don't do it." Lei Chi rejected Xie Zijing's cigarette, "I won't smoke."

He pointed at his nose.
