Volume 7: Frost Chapter 4 Definitions
After dinner, Jiang You sent Yang Xuan to the gate of Wenhua Street, watched her get on the car, and then called another car to go to Tangjiang City Public Security Bureau. It was rush hour after get off work, and Jiang You drove on and off all the way. He used up the energy of several mobile games and finally saw the scenery near the Public Security Bureau from the car window.
A thin girl holding a wooden sword walked into a chain shopping store.
Jiang You said to the driver: "Master, please find a place to pull over here."
"You're going to get off here, right?"
“Yes, mobile payment.”
"OK."
…
Tang Butian walked to the shelf with several rows of data cables and reached out to take down a red and white camouflage Android data cable.
“Are you here to buy a data cable?”
Tang Butian recognized Jiang You's voice. She raised her head and looked at Jiang You who was standing not far away.
"I just saw you come in from the car," Jiang You explained. He walked a few steps towards Tang Butian, picked up a pair of headphones, looked at them and put them back. He asked, "Have all the others arrived?"
Tang Butian replied, "We are waiting for someone from the research institute." She pursed her lips and said, "Wu Yulan is teaching Guan Nuo fighting skills."
"You can't listen anymore?"
"My phone is dead."
Jiang You smiled, "Then let's go shopping. Look at this." He walked to the shelf against the wall and picked up a small green dinosaur doll. He put his hand in it and shook it at Tang Butian. "It's cute, isn't it?"
Without waiting for Tang Butian to answer, he took another step forward, took out a dark blue sun hat with auspicious cloud pattern and put it on his head, walked to the mirror to look at himself, and felt quite satisfied.
Neck pillow, plush pillow, teething toys, mango slices...
After buying a large bag of odds and ends, Jiang You and Tang Butian walked out of the store. Jiang You glanced at the time and said, "It's 7:20. Should we go back now or find a place to sit?"
Tang Butian chose to sit down.
So they sat down at a nearby coffee shop.
Jiang You sat down opposite Tang Butian with a drink in one hand. After putting down the cup, he said, "Zhao Cai has become more lively now that he has a companion. Before, when he was alone, he just slept. Now that he exercises more every day, he doesn't have to worry about his weight."
Tang Butian said: "They are not teaching correctly."
“They are pragmatic.”
"That's not it," Tang Butian thought for a moment and said, "Guan Nuo lacks actual combat experience. A lot of actual combat experience."
Jiang You asked: "What are you going to do?"
"He and Zhaocai are fighting."
“Good idea.”
"There are also alien spiritual powers."
"What's wrong?"
"I originally thought that the increase in the concentration of alien spiritual power meant that a great demon had entered the world. It could be his resurrection, or it could be another demon. Lao Jinshan, his relationship with Jinghu Society, and the door at the bottom of Jiujin Mountain, these connections can prove my judgment."
Jiang You took a sip of ice latte and asked, "And then?"
"Zhuang Zekun denied it. The reason for the denial is confidential."
"Didn't Wu Yulan say she found the reason?"
"right."
"Then let's listen to what she says first."
Tang Butian looked at the pedestrians coming and going outside the French window. "According to my judgment, then, there is something wrong with the remains in the institute."
"The evidence is strong."
"They should have reached a conclusion earlier."
"so what?"
"I have no idea."
"We'll find out eventually."
Tang Butian turned her head and looked directly into Jiang You's eyes, "Do you know?"
"I think Master Hongzhen would know something," Jiang You used a straw to stir the ice in the cup. "If you're really worried, then we can find a dark and windy night and bring Zhaocai and Jiujiu with us. They'll stand guard outside, one on the ground and one in the sky. We'll sneak into the building and find the body. Then you can chop it up quickly. How do you think?"
Tang Butian thought about Jiang You's proposal for a long time, then she said, "I can go back to the mountain."
"Take me back with you. We are on the same hill, and there are only my son and I. We can't eat much."
"Master Zhong has a very good relationship with Zhuang Zekun."
"Then you have to remember to bring me prison food and pick up my son from school every day."
Tang Butian stood up with the drink cup in her hand and said, "Let's go back to the office."
Jiang You carried a bag in one hand and a cup in the other, and followed Tang Butian out of the cafe.
The August heat hit my face.
…
Tang Butian and Jiang You pushed open the office door.
A man in a white coat sat on Jiang You's chair. After seeing Tang Butian and Jiang You walk in, Lin Shunan stood up and said, "Chief Tang, Jiang You, we meet again."
The door of the activity room opened and Wu Yulan and Guan Nuo walked out.
Guan Nuo wiped the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand and said, "Section Chief, did you go buy some drinks?"
Tang Butian walked back to her seat and connected her phone to the socket with a data cable.
Wu Yulan looked around at everyone's expressions and said, "Chief Tang, everyone is here, so I'll start talking?"
"Go ahead."
"Let's go to the conference room?" Jiang You said.
"Go to the meeting room." Tang Butian repeated.
So everyone went to the meeting room.
After sitting down, Wu Yulan began to report, "On the fifth of this month, I finished scanning the area I was responsible for and found nothing unusual. But this afternoon, when I was driving through Zegu Town, the recorder sounded. But when I got out of the car and checked again, the recorder didn't sound."
"It's Zegu Town again." Jiang You muttered.
"What did you say?" Wu Yulan asked.
Jiang You said: "I have handled cases in Zegu Town."
"Two cases," Sun Yu added on behalf of Jiang You, "both of which are related to foreign demons."
Wu Yulan nodded. "Let's talk about the problem of alien spiritual power first . I checked repeatedly, but the recorder didn't sound, so I notified the research institute..."
Sun Yu glanced at Tang Butian and then at Jiang You.
Tang Butian maintained his usual expressionless face, while Jiang You lay on the table, seemingly listening but not quite listening.
After Wu Yulan finished speaking, Lin Shunan said, "Let me talk about some of the conclusions that the research has reached so far. Let me first introduce myself. My name is Lin Shunan. I have been working with Professor Ji at the research institute for almost ten years. Of course, I have been studying for the past few years, and only started to formally engage in projects in the past two or three years."
After seeing that no one in the conference room responded, he said, "After Teacher Ji received the message from Teacher Wu, he asked me to go there immediately. I used the instrument to conduct a deep survey. Finally, about a thousand meters away from the location where the scanner sounded the alarm for the first time, I detected spiritual power anomalies again. Of course, after the detection, the anomaly disappeared again."
"I have a question." Jiang You said.
"you say."
"My problem is that the concentration of alien spiritual power has increased, but the overall spiritual power concentration has not increased. We need to find the reason. I always thought that our scanners, when we go to scan the streets, are to find places where the alien spiritual power is particularly concentrated. When it reaches a certain line, the scanner will alarm, and then we will go to investigate."
Lin Shunan said: "That's not the case."
"Then the second question is, what is alien spiritual power?"
