九滴水:特殊罪案调查组(全2册)
Nine Drops Of Water
The new mystery series from the best-selling suspense author Jiu Dishui focuses on old cases that have remained unsolved for many years. Although the evidence is temporarily silenced, it will not be silenced forever. Behind every unsolved case is naked humanity and desire. Digital murderer: Recently, in the process of sorting out unsolved cases, the Criminal Investigation Bureau discovered that two unsolved cases that occurred in two provinces and cities fifteen years ago had similar committing methods. The murderers both left the words "0617" on the scene. Due to the backward conditions for handling the case, poor information, and the fact that the places where the incidents occurred were far apart, no concurrent investigations were conducted. In order to ensure that there were no omissions, the Criminal Investigation Bureau once again relied on the means of committing the crime, and among the massive number of cases, another similar unsolved case was discovered. So far, the three cases have been investigated in parallel. Soul Sacrifice: A fatal fall occurred in the nature reserve. The technician used a ladder to climb up a nearby ginkgo tree. A rectangular wooden box was placed on a Y-shaped branch at the top of the tree. The box is vermilion in color, with symmetrical patterns resembling oracle-bone inscriptions engraved on the wide side of the box. There are round holes as thick as a thumb on each of the two narrow sides. A large number of human bones were found inside the box. After testing, it was found that the victim had been dead for more than ten years. This is a cruel ancient sacrificial method... Destruction of the Thieves Gang: Around 2000, the son of the chief deacon of the Thieves Gang disappeared, and it did not attract attention at first. In the next three years, a total of six pickpockets disappeared from the Thieves Gang, all of them disappearing without a trace. The time, place and witnessing accomplices of these people's disappearance are all unknown, and the person who reported the case cannot be found. In order to find a breakthrough in the case, the task force decided to use an informant to conduct an undercover investigation. Oil drum sealed corpse: A few years ago, an old man found an iron diesel drum in the grass while herding sheep. There were dents all over the drum. When he opened the lid of the bucket, he found a male victim inside and quickly reported the crime. However, due to backward conditions at the time, the identity of the victim could never be verified. In the following five years, similar cases occurred in many places, but due to lack of information, the cases could not be investigated together. The 914 Task Force mainly investigates long-unsolved unsolved cases and difficult cases across the country, which are called "special crimes" within the center. In view of the long time span of the case and the difficulty of detection, it was specially transferred to the 914 task force for investigation.

He was accidentally injured while playing in the water with his companions, and scars like fish scales appeared on his neck. In order to cure his illness, his parents took him on an adventure to the Wuguniang Mountains where wild beasts roamed - looking for Li Daozi who had known his destiny and judged him. On the way up the mountain, I rescued my lifelong friend, the little monkey "Fat Girl". Although he was treated coldly by Li Daozi, he learned the basic principles of Taoism and hexagrams. When he left, Li Daozi gave him six hexagrams and a small sword. After Erdan recovered from his illness and came down from the mountain, he went into the mountain with the so-called "exploration team" and accidentally fell into the clutches of the "Evil Talisman King" Yang Erchou. While imprisoned in Guanyin Mountain, he was humiliated by Yang Erchou and his daughter Yang Xiaolan.

In the underground cemetery, they encountered unprecedented terrifying dangers. After finally climbing to the surface, they were ambushed again. However, this ambush gave Erdan a chance to escape, and also caused a great change in his fate...

After Chen Zhicheng, the black-hand double city, led the Seven Swords to defeat Luomantun, he took a short rest and returned to the Secret Service Bureau to take over his life. At this time, Xiao Keming, a fellow disciple of the Maoshan Sect, and Tao Tao, the daughter of Tao Jinhong, the leader of the Maoshan Sect, discovered traces of dragon blood crystals and went to the dangerous snake cave to track them regardless of their own safety. Chen Zhicheng is well aware of the rough and impulsive character of his junior brother Xiao Keming, and can't help but worry about his and Tao Tao's safety. So Chen Zhicheng summoned Lin Qiming, Yin Yue, Zhu Xueting and other seven swordsmen to go to the rescue. As soon as they entered the snake cave, Chen Zhicheng and others were attacked by a giant black-scaled python. After a fierce battle, Chen Zhicheng and others successfully subdued the black-scaled python and rescued Xiao Keming. After cross-examination, Chen Zhicheng and others learned that the precious dragon blood crystal was not in the Snake Cave, but had been stolen by Mrs. Black Flower. Mrs. Black Flower wants to use the dragon's blood crystal to realize her long-cherished wish of "carp leaping over the dragon's gate". Just as everyone was rejoicing in rescuing Xiao Keming and the clues, unexpectedly, shocking news came! Tao Tao was kidnapped by an extremely dangerous enemy! Moreover, this enemy has always had a grudge with the leader of Maoshan Cult, and Tao Tao's life is in danger. Chen Zhicheng, Xiao Keming, Lin Qiming, Zhu Xueting, Yin Yue and others rushed to the rescue non-stop. The enemy's martial arts were extremely powerful. Everyone tried their best, but they could only parry but not fight back. Fortunately, while the two sides were fighting fiercely, Tao Jinhong, the head of the Maoshan Sect, appeared at the right time, fought a fierce battle with the powerful enemy, and rescued everyone from danger. Although the powerful enemy was defeated, there was no trace of Mrs. Black Flower. If Mrs. Black Flower's conspiracy is allowed to succeed, the world will be plunged into fire and water, and all people will die. So, Chen Zhicheng led everyone to hunt down Mrs. Black Flower. Finally, everyone passed five levels and killed six generals, thwarted Madam Black Flower's conspiracy, and saved the world from fire and water...

Namo Cassock Science Buddha
Chen Zhicheng and his party returned from the underground and were warmly received by everyone. When everyone thought that a special service team had died in the line of duty, they returned successfully. As soon as he came back, he welcomed the birth of his child. Although he could not recognize each other due to his identity, he was still extremely happy, which strengthened his belief in becoming stronger and getting rid of the eighteen calamities in his body. Immediately afterwards, while the special service team was tracking down the sea beast, Li Hexin was killed with a golden needle. Chen Zhicheng, who lost his teammate, embarked on the journey to find the murderer again. It is rumored that killing people with golden needles is the skill of the perverted genius doctor Luo Qianchen. After tracking all the way, Chen Zhicheng and others came to the unobstructed meeting of Cihang Villa. It turned out that people in the world had gathered here for the soft jade unicorn dragon. Behind the series of killings, it was the Evil Spirit Cult who was behind the murders. Maitreya also secretly drove Fat Niu to fight Chen Zhicheng until Chen Zhicheng killed Maitreya himself. But later, Chen Zhicheng's family suffered revenge from the Evil Spirit Cult. After a disaster, his brother-in-law died. However, Lu Yi, who had been let go by Chen Zhicheng, colluded with Wang Xinjian, the leader of the Evil Spirit Cult. In the end, Chen Zhicheng fought to the death with Wang Xinjian, the leader of the Evil Spirit Cult, challenging the legendary impossibility and annihilating the leader of the evil organization in one fell swoop.

Roger Brown is Norway's top headhunter, and 100% of the candidates he recommends will be hired by his clients. He uses the FBI's nine major investigative techniques when interviewing candidates, playing them into the palm of his hand and getting them to reveal everything on their own initiative.
