C7 elderly person

Phoenix City, Yongzhou Province, China.

Within Phoenix City, two rivers crossed each other, separating Phoenix City into three parts. The river was brightly lit by colorful lights, causing the river to be covered in colorful lights.

The big leaf girl planted on the riverbank was still as green as ever. There were many colorful lights wrapped around her, making her look really beautiful. However, it was already the beginning of winter and there weren't many tourists left. There weren't many people on the streets, so with such beautiful scenery, he was afraid that he could only admire himself.

While smoking, Tan Zizi held onto the portrait An Siyu drew and looked at it as he walked.

On the drawing, an old man with a gaunt face and sunken eyeballs and black lips and fangs was looking directly at Tan Ziying.

After Tan Zi Ji finished smoking his last mouthful of smoke, he casually threw the tip of his cigarette into the place where the cigarette was extinguished: "Zheng Zheyue, have you seen a similar description in the information room?", as he spoke, he shook the portrait towards Zheng Zheyue.

Zheng Zheyue waved his hand, "Actually, I had already carefully thought about it this afternoon. I've looked through all the information rooms, and after some careful thought, I really didn't see anyone who looked similar!"

Tan Ziqiao frowned. "Are you sure?"

Zheng Zheyue nodded: "Mn, I'm sure!"

Tan Zizheng nodded, turned around and continued to walk forward.

Just as he took two steps, a loud noise drifted over along with the cold wind. Tan Ziqiao looked over to the source of the voice and saw a group of big men who were speaking in a dialect surrounding a man and a woman, shouting loudly.

Tan Ziqiao couldn't help knitting his brows as he made a shushing gesture towards the others. Zheng Zheyue and the others immediately stopped and stood at their original spot, listening attentively.

It turned out that the little girl accidentally stepped on one of their feet, but since the girl had already apologized, that group of people still refused to give up. There were some pushing and shoving movements, and a few bold ones who were still taking advantage of the girl.

The girl was crying from the fear and hugged the boy tightly. The boy protected the girl behind him and helped her block the pushing from the big man.

Suddenly, a man vomited all of a sudden. The stench of vomit mixed with the smell of alcohol drifted over. Tan Ziqiao frowned. "Drinking too much is a misunderstanding!"

Cheng Yuan immediately stepped forward, "Chief, do you want me to help those two?"

Tan Ziqiong looked at the quality goods and then looked at the gang of men. "There are twenty of them. Are you sure?"

Cheng Zhen held his hands together and said, "Selling the label for sale!"

Tan Zizheng nodded his head, "Go on! Just hit them until they can't get up! "

Cheng Yuan smiled, "Of course, I know my limits!"

"Pay attention to the discipline of the police and the reasonable enforcement of the law. Don't leave any evidence behind. This won't do us any good."

Cheng Yuan nodded: "I know! "We are the people's police, it must be reasonable!" As he said this, he walked over.

Tan Ziqiao brought Zheng Zheyue and the others and continued to walk forward. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a drag. Zheng Zheyue walked forward, "Chief, Cheng Cai will be fine, right?"

"If he can't even handle a few hooligans, get the hell out of here! Don't embarrass me in the second place! "

Zheng Zheyue shook his head. "No, boss, that's not what I meant. I mean, it can't be possible to hit those people! After all, we are not the usual ? "

Tan Ziqiao smiled. "That won't happen, he knows his limits."

Just as he was speaking, Cheng Cai rushed up from behind him and took off the Police Hat, wiping his sweat with his hand: "Head, it's done!"

Tan Ziqiao turned his head to look, the group of hulks had already collapsed on the ground, their short knives and wooden sticks casually picked up by them had fallen to the ground. The nearby patrolmen had already arrived and were dealing with the scene. The young couple also snuggled up to each other and kept looking in Tan Ziying's direction.

Tan Ziqiao turned over and asked, "Are you hurt or something?"

Cheng Zhen waved his hand, "Those guys who only know how to scare others isn't able to hurt me. I'm fine!"

"Did you enforce the law in a reasonable manner?"

Cheng Zhen patted his chest, "That's a must. I've warned and stopped them. They were the ones who made the first move. We're police, how can we make the first move!"

Tan Zizheng nodded his head, "Well done!"

Cheng Xie immediately exclaimed: "The feeling of being praised by others is really good, no wonder Zheng Zheyue is so happy all day, this feeling is really good!"

Tan Ziqiao smiled, "Stinking brat, look at your useless appearance!" Saying that, he threw the cigarette butt onto the extinguished spot on top of the dustbin.

Cheng Cai wiped his sweat with his hand and asked, "Chief, where are we going now? Back to the police force? "

Tan Zizhi scratched his head and looked around, "Let's find a place to eat first!" I haven't had a good meal all day, so I'm a little hungry! "

Cheng Zhen immediately clapped his hands and said, "Not bad, not bad at all. The boss is treating me to food again!"

Just as his words fell, An Siyu had already stomped heavily on the foot of this good stuff: "You only know how to eat!"

Cheng Cai cried out in pain, "No, my dear lady, why are you so worried about this?"

An Siyu walked forward and tore off the cigarette in Tan Zi Ji's mouth. "Don't smoke so much, now is not the time to analyze this case. You don't need this!"

Tan Ziqiao was about to refute him, but An Siyu had already taken all the cigarettes out of his pocket. Tan Ziqiao quickly shouted, "Aye! "Don't, take the cigarettes away, give me the wallet!"

An Siyu opened up Tan Zhitong's wallet and looked at it. "It's just this much money, is it enough to treat you to a meal? You still need to smoke! "

Tan Ziqiao scratched his head. "This is my problem. You ?"

An Siyu wrapped Tan Zi Ji's money into his pocket and said, "Let me treat you!"

Cheng Yuan threw up his hands, "It doesn't matter, as long as there's food to eat!"

An Siyu rolled her eyes at Cheng Ke and walked straight ahead: "You only know how to eat!"

It was close to winter now, and the westerly wind gave people goosebumps. Night owls all went home, and many of the shops were closed for lack of business. Tan Ziqiao and the others searched for a long time before finally finding a small noodle shop.

An Siyu pointed to the small noodle house, "It looks like we can only make do with this place!"

Cheng Yuan shrugged. "I don't care!"

"I didn't ask you!"

The waiter and the boss of the noodle store were currently leaning against the counter, watching the television. At seven o'clock, the local newspaper, the News Express, was being broadcasted.

Perhaps it was because they were too engrossed, but no one noticed when Tan Ziqiao and the others entered. Tan Ziqiao coughed without sleep, and only then did the waiter react. "Yo, you guys, what do you want to eat?"

"Five bowls of noodles, four bottles of beer, and two cold dishes!"

The assistant nodded. "Sure, please wait a moment."

Tan Ziqiao sat at the table next to the old man. After he sat down, he habitually fished for his cigarettes, but found nothing. He looked at An Siyu, but did not open his mouth to ask for it.

Cheng Ke and the others saw Tan Ziqiao gazing outside and did not dare to speak. They sat down quietly.

The air suddenly became quiet, and the two old men's voices became louder and louder.

"I heard that he hasn't appeared for a long time!"

"That's right!" I even heard it from my grandfather! I heard that he specializes in eating people's hearts! And he has come and gone without a trace! "

"Mhmm, I watched the news this morning. My son told me he was dead, and his heart was dug out. It scared me to death!"

"How did your son know?"

"Did you forget!?" My son is a policeman! I heard it from my son! "

"Aiyo, no wonder. It's too scary!"

"When I told this to my son today, although he said that he didn't believe me, he still gave me some money in the afternoon and told me to buy some delicious food to supplement my own. "Haha, to be honest, I've never seen my son give me so much money!"

"Is that so? Then I'll go back and tell my son and see if he can treat me better! "

At this time, the shop assistant brought over the cold vegetables and beer first. Tan Zizi thought of An Siyu as he reached out his hand, "Bring it over."

An Siyu turned her head, "Not giving!"

Tan Ziqiao's hand was still on the table. "I want to solve this case. Give it to me!"

This time, An Siyu did not evade, and very straightforwardly handed the cigarette over to Tan Zizhi.

Tan Ziqiao picked up a cigarette and two bottles of beer and sat down in front of the old man, "Old man, the recent events are truly bizarre, making everyone anxious!", he said as he placed the beer in front of the two old men and passed the cigarettes over.

The plump old man waved his hand, "I won't smoke anymore, your son won't smoke anymore!"

The skinnier old man took the cigarette, and Tan Ziqiao quickly lit it up for him. The old man took a deep breath, but choked on the smoke he suddenly ingested and started to cough violently.

The fat old man quickly patted the skinny old man's back. "Old Chen, if you can't smoke, then don't smoke. It's bad for your health!"

The thin elder waved his hand. "I'm fine. It's just that I haven't smoked for too long. I'm not used to it ?"

Tan Ziqiao quickly stood up and poured a cup of water for the thin elder. "Elder, please slow down."

The fat old man glanced at Tan Ziqiao when he heard this. "You're not a local, a tourist?"

Then he turned to look at Cheng and the others. "But with the police, you don't look like a tourist! Hm? You all look really unfamiliar! Which branch? "

Tan Ziqiao immediately replied gently, "We were just assigned here after graduating from Police Academy. It's normal for this old man to not have seen us."

The chubby old man scanned their youthful faces and nodded. "They are indeed young. They look like young idiots who just graduated."

Only then did Tan Zizhi continue, "Old man, we've just arrived and we've suddenly come across such a big case. We really don't know what to do. But there was no clue, no clue at all! The things that I learned in the Police Academy are completely useless! "

The fat old man glanced at Tan Ziqiao. "It would be weird if we can find it, then it isn't made by a human. How do we check?"

Tan Ziqiao was stunned. "What? Old man, what do you mean? "

The fat elder smiled. "Do you know what that means?"

Tan Ziying moved closer to the person and covered half his mouth with his hand, "Old man, you don't dare to speak nonsense. If our leader finds out, we'll be beaten to death!"

The fat elder snorted. "You don't believe me?"

Tan Ziqiao shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know anything, how can I believe it!"

The fat elder picked up the beer and gulped it down. "No wonder. You've just arrived, it's normal that you don't know anything. Since we're bored, we'll tell you about it."

When Tan Zizhi heard this, he turned his head over and signaled Cheng Cai and the others with his eyes. Cheng Zhen and the others also nodded and listened attentively.

The fat old man took another gulp of beer, then slowly said, "This can't actually be considered a story, but a legend left behind by an ancestor!"

According to legend, in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, uprisings took place everywhere. Smoke covered the entire land, and the peaceful life in the Yonglian region was suddenly thrown into disarray.

Soldiers continued to fight, and the strong were all hidden away to avoid forced conquest. The cultivated land became desolate, and people died of hunger everywhere. In order to survive, at this moment, the kind people had no choice but to ignore others for their own sake.

Food was not enough, grass roots and tree bark were not enough to eat. Their originally strong blood ties were replaced by hunger and survival. Humanity could not bear the test!

People began to eat, dividing up the corpses, abandoning the elderly, and even brandishing their butcher knives. All of a sudden, the cool area was shrouded in dark clouds. The crows had come all the way here after smelling the scent of blood. They stood on the branches in groups.

If they saw an old man, the crows would flap their wings and cheer. This way, they would have food.

This gloomy atmosphere only subsided after the Qing Dynasty completely defeated the Ming Dynasty and stabilized the territory.

When people thought that the earth was full of blood and the crows were sick of carrion, the demons finally arrived.

During the year of succession, a type of monster suddenly appeared in the Yonglian region. It moved across the ground at night and silently entered the house, killing everyone within! Then he dug out the heart and ate it raw.

When the local officials heard the news, they immediately dispatched people to capture him. However, they didn't even see a shadow of him, but they lost many of their yamen runners! The government was left with no choice but to report it layer by layer.

Also at that time, people astonishedly discovered that those who were killed were all the people who, during the famine that year, brandished their slaughtering knives at the old man and tortured him alive.

Since then, word of this sort of thing spread through the Yonglian region. People called this monster the "Old Man Devourer".

In the end, the imperial government still managed to invite some decent people to kill the demons. Nothing like this ever happened again.

However, the demon had already killed more than 300 people!

The chubby old man took a sip of his beer. "This is the story my grandfather told me. It's also the story their generations passed down from generation to generation."

Tan Ziqiao feigned a great shock when he heard this. "Old man, so this is the so-called 'rumors'! No wonder our Captain Wang Elder exploded in anger when she heard these four words.

The fat old man snorted again: "That's the Criminal Police's Wang Dongyuan?"

Tan Zizheng nodded, "He's got an explosive temper. His legs are shaking when I see him."

The chubby old man's face instantly darkened. "Hmph, his temper is indeed bad. My son has also been criticized by him before."

Upon hearing this, Tan Zigui immediately asked, "Old man, your son is in the Criminal Police squad too!"

Only then did the fat old man have a peace of mind. "Hmm, I'm a little older than you guys, working in criminal investigation, called Li Junyi."

Tan Zizheng nodded his head, "So it's Senior Li Junyi."

After saying that, Tan Ziqiao narrowed his eyes and thought to himself, "You've completely ignored my words!"

After exiting the noodle house, Zheng Zheyue could not help but ask: "Chief, if the old man mentioned something about 'Old Man Devourer' appearing before, then there should be a record of it! Our information is the most complete, so why is there no record of it? It didn't even mention anything! "

Tan Ziqiao reached his hand out and took out a cigarette, lighting it up. "Zhenyue, are you trying to say that the old man's legend is a lie?"

Zheng Zheyue nodded his head, "Anyway, I don't believe it!"

Tan Ziqiao took a drag of his cigarette and slowly exhaled the smoke ring. "Our information is also incomplete at some points, China is so big, there are always people that we have never seen before, and we have never heard of them! What are we going to do if we are going to define all the unknown as false? "

Zheng Zheyue was startled. "But ?"

Tan Ziqiao waved his hand. "The situation described by this old man is extremely similar to what we've seen. We have to pay attention to it!"

Zheng Zheyue spread his hands: "I have reservations!"

Tan Zizheng flicked the ash off his cigarette: "It's very important that no one is like Yiyun!"

As they were talking, Tan Ziqiao's cell phone rang. He took it out and said, "Hello, how are you? I'm Tan Ziqiong!"

An anxious voice immediately came from the other side of the phone, "Director Tan, come over quickly! Something has happened! "
