With the plummeting SAN value, I can only work hard to watch the drama

Chapter 18 Investigation
On the riverside road, a purple coupe was speeding through, heading towards the haunted house that has recently become very famous in the entire city of Lausanne.

It didn't take long to come to the front.

The police officers guarding the haunted house seemed to recognize the owner of the car, so they quickly opened the cordon and let him approach.

squeak.
The brakes sounded and the car stopped.

A man and a woman pushed the door and got out of the car.

Looking at the very familiar small western-style building in front of her, Shen Xiu had a strange expression.

This is the job of becoming a regular?

He turned his head to look at Zhou Cheng on the other side of the car, and asked:
"Our task is to investigate here?"

Zhou Cheng glanced at him, walked to the trunk, took out the very ordinary-looking box, closed it with a bang, and said:

"Otherwise what do you think?"

While speaking, she checked the contents of the box and made sure there was nothing missing, then took out a pair of pure black gloves and put them on, then closed the box, put it on her shoulder, and walked towards the small building.

When walking past Shen Xiu, he stopped, looked at him, and for some unknown purpose, said lightly:

"Don't die too soon."

After finishing speaking, he ignored the surprised Shen Xiu, pushed open the iron gate, and walked into the courtyard wall.

Shen Xiu looked at Zhou Cheng's back, then glanced at the small western-style building in front of her, muttered in a low voice, "This is my home, what am I afraid of", and followed into it.

It seems that there are two worlds inside and outside the courtyard wall.

The other side of the wall is the busy world, but this side is a very bleak foreign world.

The lawn in the courtyard has become withered and yellow, and the only cherry blossom tree has withered branches and leaves, and is about to die.

The two of them entered the courtyard wall one after the other.

Shen Xiu didn't feel anything, but Zhou Cheng became more cautious, his steps were much smaller than before, not to mention, after taking one step, it was already two or three seconds before he took the second step.

Shen Xiu caught up in three or two steps, and gave Zhou Cheng a puzzled look. Just as he was about to move forward, Zhou Cheng's voice sounded:
"If you're in a hurry to die, don't take me with you."

Shen Xiu paused, seemed to think of something, and smiled sarcastically:
"forget."

Zhou Cheng ignored it, and was still extremely careful.

Under her "leading", the two first checked the small courtyard, but found nothing, then Zhou Cheng aimed at the well pressed by stones.

When he came to the well, Zhou Cheng wanted to move the stone away, but his strength was a little weak.

No matter how hard she pushed, the stone just wouldn't budge.

She frowned and gave Shen Xiu a look.

Shen Xiu nodded helplessly, and put both hands on the stone.

To be honest, Shen Xiu didn't want to move the stone.

Others didn't know, but he, who had watched the movie, knew what was under the well.

boom.
There was a loud noise, and the big stone was pushed away from the mouth of the well by two people.

With the previous lesson, Shen Xiu didn't take any action, but just looked at Zhou Cheng.

Zhou Cheng didn't take the initiative to stretch his head to look. He untied the box, took out a strangely shaped triangular mirror, placed it on the wellhead, and adjusted the angle to reflect the situation in the well.

The well has long since dried up.

The walls of the well were covered with moss, and the bottom of the well was nothing but gravel.

Zhou Cheng didn't seem to have the intention of going down to find out in person. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he put away the mirror, turned around and walked towards the small western building.

In the movie, after Nobita kills Jiajia, he throws the body in the well.

Originally, Shen Xiu was worried that Zhou Cheng would find Jiajia's body in the well, but she didn't expect this to be the case.

Stretching his head to look down the well in surprise, he really didn't see anything resembling a corpse, so he chased after Zhou Cheng with doubts.

According to the analysis of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs, this building was once listed as a third-level restricted area, but now it has been corrected to a fourth-level restricted area. The most dangerous place is after entering the foreign building.

Zhou Cheng naturally did not dare to take it lightly.

When he came to the door, he seemed a little worried, and took out a dark brown sleeveless mandarin jacket from the box that seemed to be made of the skin of some kind of animal.

"Put it on quickly." Zhou Cheng said.

Looking at the things handed over, and then at the expressionless Zhou Cheng, Shen Xiu froze for a moment, but didn't reach out to pick it up.

What does this mean, afraid that I will catch a cold?
This house is listed as a fourth-level restricted area, which is enough to show how much the Bureau of Foreign Affairs attaches great importance to this place.

If it weren't for the sudden emergence of two new restricted areas, they would inevitably send a large number of people to analyze and explore here.

So far, only two people have come, and one of them is still a rookie with no experience. In fact, the Bureau of Foreign Affairs does not have any hope for them.

Even if the two died here, no one would be surprised.

It's not that Zhou Cheng is out of his mind, how can he not be clear about this.

The reason why she still brought Shen Xiu here was for the sake of both of them.

For one thing, the Lausanne Bureau of Foreign Affairs is now focusing on the two newly-emerged restricted areas, which means that it is almost impossible to complete tasks easily in a short period of time.

In other words, if Shen Xiu wanted to become a regular soon, she could only investigate a relatively safe place.

Secondly, because of the accidental death of her former partner, she hadn't been on a mission for a long time. If she devoted herself to the mission of exploring and analyzing the seventh-level and eighth-level restricted areas all at once, she might not be able to get out alive.

Coming here now, although it is still very dangerous, she herself is not sure that she will be able to escape unscathed.

But relatively speaking, compared to Shen Xiu, she is much stronger in terms of experience and adaptability.

Giving him this mandarin jacket specially made by the Foreign Affairs Bureau is also to give him an extra guarantee.

However, Shen Xiu didn't take it for a long time, and in Zhou Cheng's view, it seemed a bit ignorant.

She frowned, and without saying a word, she was about to withdraw her hand.

Since Shen Xiu didn't answer, she didn't need to put her hot face on her cold ass.

"thank you."

Shen Xiu finally came to her senses at this moment, and a second before Zhou Cheng was about to put the jacket back into the box, she bent down to take it and put it on.

"What is this thing made of, why does it feel cold?"

Shen Xiu rubbed the mandarin jacket curiously, and was amazed.

Zhou Cheng ignored him at all, took a deep breath, and opened the door with a click.

It was very quiet in the building.

After Zhou Cheng entered, his expression became more dignified than before.

Standing in the entrance, you can see a wooden staircase that can go up to the second floor, and next to it is the corridor leading to the living room.

Zhou Cheng glanced at the second floor, retracted his gaze, and walked slowly towards the living room.

The corridor is about five meters long, and there are some photo frames hanging on the wall next to it.

Zhou Cheng watched the surroundings carefully, and at the same time glanced at the photos in the photo frames from the corner of his eye.

The first few photos seem to be family portraits. In the photos, there is a man and woman and a little boy, and the three of them are smiling brightly.

In the next few pictures, the smiles of the three people in the photos are gone. Although the woman and the man are still standing together, they give people an inexplicable sense of alienation.

In the last few photos, only men with sullen faces remained in the photos, and the women and little boys had disappeared.

Zhou Cheng noticed this and frowned slightly, but he didn't intend to discuss it with Shen Xiu.

Walking through the corridor, I came to the living room. Looking around, the sofa was a little messy, and there was a cup and a few unfinished biscuits on the coffee table.

When I got closer, there was still some unfinished water in the cup, and there were some biscuit crumbs on the ground.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Cheng's frown that had just been relieved was frowned again.

At the same time, Shen Xiu who was walking behind also saw this, and couldn't help but change her expression.
