Dong Xi reached out and took off the black cloth hood on Li Zi'an's head.

Li Zi'an saw Dr. Zhang, as well as Gao Shan.

The two of them were also looking at him, and their expressions were very solemn.

Li Zi'an didn't bother to say hello, and looked at the glass wall, but it was dark behind the glass wall, and he couldn't see the situation inside.

"Chief Gao, what happened?" asked Li Zi'an.

Gao Shan said, "Dr. Zhang, turn on the lights." ”

Dr. Zhang walked over to the console and turned on the lights in the lab.

The darkness behind the glass wall was dispelled by the light, and Li Zi'an's gaze moved to the glass wall, but this look was frozen.

The metal platform was empty, and the Jingwu Queen was not on the metal platform.

Li Zi'an followed to the glass wall and looked at other places in the laboratory, but still didn't see Queen Jingwu.

"This ...... What's going on?" Li Zi'an had actually guessed what was going on in his heart, but he couldn't believe it.

Gao Shan said in a deep voice: "Queen Jingwu is gone. ”

Li Zi'an was surprised: "Stolen?"

Gao Shan stopped talking, and his face was ugly.

This place is heavily guarded, let alone ordinary thieves, I am afraid that even the most powerful thief in the world will not be able to pass through the layers of levels and steal the bones of the Jingwu Queen from here.

However, the bones of the Jingwu Queen were gone, and they could only be stolen, because it was impossible for it to get up and leave here on its own. Moreover, even if such a strange incident really happened and the Jingwu Queen got up from the console, it would not be able to avoid the surveillance and guards of the underground base, and it would be caught if it couldn't get out of this underground base.

Gao Shan is the boss of this underground base, and he must be responsible for such a thing, which is why his face is ugly.

"What's going on?" Li Zi'an asked again.

Gao Shan sighed: "Dong Xi, you explain the situation to the master, I'll wait for you in the office." ”

He's gone, and he feels much older.

Li Zi'an looked at Dong Xi.

Dong Xi spread his hands: "To be precise, we don't know what happened." No one invaded the base, and none of the surveillance footage found images of Queen Jingwu being stolen or leaving herself. ”

Li Zi'an glanced up at the surveillance camera in the corner: "Didn't the surveillance here capture anything?"

Dong Xi said: "No, there is also monitoring in the laboratory, but the lights were out last night, and nothing was photographed." ”

She also answered Li Zi'an's next question.

Li Zi'an said curiously: "No one came to steal it, and it couldn't leave on its own, so how did it disappear?"

Dong Xi said: "So we invited you here, and we can only rely on you, the master, for this matter." ”

A wry smile appeared at the corner of Li Zi'an's mouth, he is indeed a master, but this strange case without any clues, can you solve the case by looking for him? Looking for him to tell fortunes, he is good at solving problems, but he is a layman to solve the case, and even Liu Jun is more reliable than him.

But since he has found him, in view of the special relationship between the Black Cauldron Company and the Oriental Sanatorium, he has to do his best to express it.

This time, he also learned to be smart, not to mention points. Gao Shan is on fire, if he mentions points or something on his side, it will not be kind, maybe the old man will explode on the spot by his anger.

Dr. Zhang hasn't said a word until now, and his spirit is very poor.

Li Zi'an said: "Dr. Zhang, can you open the door, I'll go in and have a look." ”

Dr. Zhang nodded and opened the security door to the lab on the console.

Li Zi'an entered the laboratory.

Dong Xi also came in and said: "The trace experts have already dealt with it, there are no traces, fingerprints, footprints, clothing fibers, nothing." ”

Li Zi'an originally wanted to investigate after coming in, just like in a detective movie, to see fingerprints and footprints or something, but when she said this, he also watched a hammer.

However, he still walked to the metal table, glanced at the empty metal platform, and then glanced at Dong Xi. His lips moved, but before he could say it, Dong Xi said another word.

"I know you want to say Hank, we've always had people on Embassy Row, and Hank was in the lighthouse consulate last night and didn't come out. Dong Xi said.

Li Zi'an shrugged his shoulders a little speechlessly: "There is no trace here, and the most suspicious person has always been under your surveillance, there is no suspicion of committing a crime, you have checked everything I can think of, so what did you call me for?"

"You are a master. Dong Xi's eyes were filled with expectation and trust.

At this time, Dr. Zhang also walked in.

Li Zi'an glanced at him and asked, "Dr. Zhang, when was the last time you were here?"

Dr. Zhang replied, "Yesterday at 5 p.m." ”

"Before you left, did Queen Jingwu find anything strange to you?" Li Zi'an asked again.

Dr. Zhang thought back for a moment and said, "Its flesh is showing signs of wilting. ”

Li Zi was relieved: "Are you saying that the flesh on its right hand has withered?"

Dr. Zhang said, "Yes, its right hand used to look like a young woman's hand, but yesterday afternoon, I don't know what happened, it showed signs of withering, it looked like an old woman's hand, and its skin was wrinkled and lost its luster and moisture. I've taken a photo and archived it, and I was going to continue my research today, but it's gone. ”

"Can you show me the pictures you took?" Mr. Li said.

"I'll get it for you. "Dr. Zhang is out.

Li Zi'an reached out and wiped it on the metal table, then raised his palm to look at it.

There was not a single grain of ash on his palms, and the metal table was cleaner than his hands.

"How can there not be a grain of ash? Queen Jingwu has been lying here for so long, it is impossible for her body not to have a grain of ash dropped. Li Zi'an said.

"The trace experts cleaned it up, and there was indeed some ash, and they took it for testing. Dong Xi said.

"Is there a result?"

"Yes, it's just ash that fell from Queen Jingwu. ”

Li Zi'an: "......"

He suddenly found that he was only suitable for being a master, and he could only be a master, and it was so difficult to make a cameo appearance as a detective.

"What do you think?" Dong Xi stared at Li Zi'an, his eyes were still full of expectation.

Li Zi'an spread his hands.

Hammer's view.

"This is a serious matter, I hope you can help us recover the Jingwu Queen and the compass. Dong Xi's expression was serious.

"Has the compass been stolen as well?" Li Zi'an originally wanted to wait for Dr. Zhang to come back and ask him if the compass had been stolen, but now he heard bad news.

"Dr. Zhang said that he put the compass in the hands of the Jingwu Queen when he left yesterday, and he wanted to see if the Jingwu Queen would activate the compass, but the Jingwu Queen was gone, and the compass was also missing. Dong Xi said.

Li Zi'an was slightly stunned.

For a moment, he seemed to grasp the thread, but the feeling was fleeting, and when he tried to comb it down, he found that there was nothing, just a strange feeling.

The Jingwu Queen is gone, and he doesn't definitely have anything in his heart, after all, the Jingwu Queen is difficult to find a host, and the threat is not great. But the compass was a relic left to her by Sharna's father, and Sharna gave it to him to study, and he also put it here to divert enemy fire, and now that it was stolen, it was difficult for him to explain it to Sharna.

In addition, his intuition told him that the compass was far more than just locating the forbidden places in the Himalayas, there must be something else, it had a lot of secrets hidden on its body, he wanted to study, but now it was gone, which made him a little difficult to accept.

Dr. Zhang walked in again, holding a folder in his hand.

He opened the folder and handed it to Li Zi'an: "Master, take a look." ”

Li Zi'an leaned over.

There are records made by Dr. Zhang on the folder, as well as a few photos, all of which are taken by the hands of Queen Jingwu.

Judging from those photos, Queen Jingwu's hands did show signs of withering. He touched the hand of Queen Jingwu, and the feeling was similar to that of a girl in her twenties, delicate and delicate, but there was no temperature. But looking at the hand in the photo, it looks like the hand of a woman in her fifties and sixties, wrinkled, no longer white, and grayish in color.

Li Zi'an suddenly remembered something, and asked again: "Dr. Zhang, you put the compass in the hand of Queen Jingwu yesterday evening?"

Dr. Zhang said, "I put the compass on Queen Jingwu's meatless left hand, and I was worried that the compass would affect her fleshy right hand, so I didn't put it on my right hand. ”

Dong Xi's heart moved, and he asked, "Master, do you think this has anything to do with the disappearance of Queen Jingwu?"

Dr. Zhang is here, and Zi'an has become a master.

Li Zi'an was silent for a moment before saying, "I'm not sure either, but we can't let go of any possibility." ”

"Master, I always thought that it would grow little by little like a fetus and eventually return to the way it was before she died, why do you think its right hand withered?" Dr. Zhang asked.

Dong Xi glanced at Dr. Zhang speechlessly: "Dr. Zhang, Queen Jingwu has disappeared, is it still useful for you to ask this?"

Dr. Zhang said: "Isn't the master here, there is a master, we will definitely find the Jingwu Queen, but this question is very important to my research, so I want to ask the master." ”

Li Zi'an smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know, the meat on its right hand may be related to your feeding experiment, and it is not real meat." ”

"I've studied slices, and it's true that it's flesh tissue, but the genes are different from ours. Dr. Zhang said.

Li Zi'an was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect such a result.

But what is certain is that if this had not happened, Dr. Zhang would not have told him this.

Dong Xi said: "Master, you can give Dr. Zhang a hexagram, maybe you can find some clues." ”

Li Zi'an glanced at Dr. Zhang, but shook his head: "No, he is not suitable, I have to give you a divination." ”

Dong Xi was surprised: "Me?"

"Yes, that's you. Li Zi'an looked very sure.
