The silence lasted for a few seconds, and Director Gao lifted the frame of his glasses, and he said very seriously: "Xiao Xu, you are very well analyzed, logically rigorous, and reasoning is complete, which is very meaningful for our next work - to say a compliment, Director Wen is discerning, you are really born to do our business."

For example, if you think this monster can't live in a hotel or rent a house, where will the monster hide?"

Xu Yan groaned again, and then he said: "Director Wen, Director Gao, I do have some ideas, but I don't know if it's right or not, so I will say it for the two of you for your reference."

Because this monster is not human, it is not taboo to endure some of the filth that we can't bear, and the darker, filthy and dirtier the place, the more it can be like a fish in water - for example, in the abandoned underground bomb shelter in the sewer, these places may be unbearable for humans, but for it, it is not a problem at all, it can hide completely. ”

Wen Xiuzhi and Gao Min glanced at each other, and they both showed embarrassment -- they did not work in the municipal department, but they also knew some things, Beijing is an international metropolis, with a permanent population of more than 20 million, the construction of sewage pipes underground in the capital is very developed, and all kinds of sewage pipes and drainage pipelines are criss-crossed, and they are extremely complicated.

Fortunately, Xu Yan's words changed: "However." I don't think it's very likely that the monster is hiding in sewers and sewers......"

Get rid of that tricky problem. Wen Xiuzhi breathed a sigh of relief, and he asked out loud, "Why is this?"

"The reason is simple, the monster is very proud, and it looks down on us humans. Hiding underground to escape our human hunt is a humiliation in its eyes, and it disdains it. than hiding in a sewer. I think it's more likely to do something like this—"

If I were this fang. I found a random family, infiltrated his house, killed the whole family, and then took possession of the magpie's nest. Living in this family – no identity documents, no registration for accommodation, no interaction with us humans.

Director Wen, as you know, when you live in a hotel, there are often waiters who come to clean up, and maybe there will be police officers from the police station who come to sweep away pornography and check gambling, but if you kill a whole family and then take their real estate to live in -- in a modern city, every family is a very independent individual. There is no interaction between neighbors, as long as the door is closed, everyone almost never gets along. In the short term. It doesn't have to deal with the outside world at all, and it doesn't have to worry about anyone checking it. For that monster, killing people and taking houses is more in line with its temperament. ”

Wen Xiuzhi and Gao Min's bodies shook slightly, and the two of them glanced at each other, and they both saw the fear in each other's eyes.

Wen Xiuzhi groaned. Nodding slowly: "Indeed, as Yanzi you said." This possibility...... It's huge!

But I ask you, after seizing the house, the monster still needs to eat, right? If it doesn't deal with us humans and doesn't buy from us, then where does the food come from? As long as it goes out to look for food, it will inevitably be seen by the neighbors or the community security property or neighbors, right? At that time, after a long time, everyone will naturally feel strange, not seeing the original owner show up, but only seeing a stranger in and out of his room, the surrounding neighbors and the property will be suspicious, right?"

"Director Wen, what you said is very true, but what you said is something that will happen in the future - the neighbors will notice that something is wrong, and this will happen at least three or five days or even a week or two. At that time, it could already be transferred to another place and find another family to start. Anyway, the capital is so big, with a permanent population of 20 million, how can you find it?

Also, Director Wen, you said that the guy needs to go out and find food, but I don't think it is necessary - there is enough food in the room for him to eat for several days. ”

Wen Xiuzhi blurted out, "What food?"

Wen Xiuzhi is not a stupid person, as soon as the words came out, he immediately realized that he had asked a stupid question.

Sure enough, Xu Yan said calmly: "The deceased who was killed by it, that family of several people, is all food that the monster can satisfy its hunger! With the weight of such a few people, hundreds of catties of meat, it is enough for the monster to need for a few days, and he doesn't need to go out to find it at all!"

Realizing that the 'food' Xu Yan was referring to was actually his own kind, human beings, as the spirits of all things, were just food to be preyed upon in the eyes of that monster, Wen Xiuzhi and Gao Min were deeply shocked and speechless for a long time.

After a long while, Wen Xiuzhi reluctantly smiled, his face was a little pale, but he looked at Zhu Youxiang and forced a smile: "Brother, you are really, and there is a beautiful lady present, why do you say such a disgusting thing-"

He nodded apologetically: "I'm sorry, Miss Zhu, we're talking about work, and it's not over - it's annoying to you, right?"

Zhu Youxiang shook his head elegantly: "Mr. Wen doesn't have to be polite, please feel free to do it-I also think it's very interesting to listen to, and I have gained a lot of knowledge." ”

Seeing Zhu Youxiang interacting with Wen Xiuzhi over there, Xu Yan could only smile bitterly beside him. If Wen Xiuzhi knew that almost all the inferences he had just said were taught to him by Zhu Youxiang, who was saying "a little disgusting" delicately, on the spot, I don't know what kind of expression he would have?

Wen Xiuzhi said hello to Zhu Youxiang, and immediately put his energy back to the topic. He and the senior director looked at each other and shook their heads. Wen Xiuzhi frowned and smiled bitterly: "Brother Yan, let's be honest, I listened to everything you said." Your thinking is indeed very clear and reasonable, and Lao Gao and I agree with it, but, according to what you say, how do you say it? I don't know how to start!

For example, like ordinary fugitives, we can also look for clues by checking hotels, hotels, stations, docks, blockades, etc. But like you said, if he hides in a house after killing someone, it will make people have nowhere to start. As you said. After he kills someone, he can close the door and hide inside for several days without coming out, how can we check?

You must know that there are more than 20 million people in the capital! I am afraid that there will be tens of millions of houses of all kinds of people? Even if all the public security bureaus and armed police in the capital are mobilized, it will be impossible to check so many residences in a short period of time, and the scope is too large, and there is nowhere to start!"

Listen to what Wen Xiuzhi said. Xu Yan was also stunned - yes, although he gave Wen Xiuzhi advice. But if this idea can't be put into practical application, it's almost the same as nothing?

Xu Yan held his chin and said thoughtfully, "This is also true...... If there is a way to know, what tendencies the monster has. That's good. For example, what kind of people does monsters like to attack at them?"

Seeing Xu Yan talking to himself, Wen Xiuzhi and Gao Min only thought that he was thinking about the problem, and they didn't feel unusual, but Zhu Youxiang understood in his heart that this was Xu Yan asking for help and asking for advice: What kind of tendency does that monster have towards people?

Zhu Youxiang passed the sound into the secret, and she said apologetically: "Childe, I only know that monsters are fond of killing and cannibalism. But I don't know what they like to kill...... However, I've heard some rumors before. It is said that when it was a natural disaster, the ancients had recorded some stories, and it was said that the demons of the demon world were good at eating human flesh, especially children's human flesh, and it was said that this was because the children's meat was tender and delicious, so the monsters especially preferred it. ”

"Child, even children eat?" Xu Yan's face turned pale. He scolded fiercely: "These beasts, what a damn thing!"

"Huh?" heard Xu Yan suddenly scold. Wen Xiuzhi and Gao Min were both surprised: "Brother Yan, what are you talking about?child?what child?"

"I mean-" In the middle of his words, suddenly, a spiritual light flashed through his mind, and Xu Yanzhi suddenly waved his hand: "Don't make noise-let me think, think!"

He closed his eyes and searched his mind for the fleeting inspiration, and finally slowly grasped the outline of the inspiration: monsters eating human flesh...... It prefers human flesh from children because it is tender and ...... So, when it starts, it will tend to look for a family with children!

Xu Yan opened his eyes suddenly, and he said excitedly: "Director Wen, there are usually children in families now, right?"

"Huh?" Wen Xiuzhi was stunned for a moment, he didn't understand what Xu Yan meant by asking, he said vaguely, "It should be...... In most marriages and families, there should be children. ”

"Children, they should go to school on a regular basis, right?"

In the eyes of others, the sentence Xu Yan asked was simply nonsense, but who are Wen Xiuzhi and Gao Min, they are all excellent agents selected from thousands of people, and they are far more intelligent than others, Xu Yan said such a nonsense, and they immediately understood what Xu Yan meant.

Director Gao Min Huo Ran straightened his waist, he turned his head and said quickly to Wen Xiuzhi: "That's right! From the age of three or four, children will go to kindergarten, and then from elementary school to junior high school to seventeen or eighteen years old -- the school should grasp the whereabouts of students!"

Wen Xiuzhi's reaction was also very fast, he nodded and said: "The family has a child between the ages of three and eighteen - in the capital, I don't know how many such families there are, but I feel that the coverage of this kind of family in the total number of all families should be very wide and should be a large group. ”

"It's January...... The elementary and middle schools in the city have not yet had winter vacation! Students should still be in school. ”

"How can we screen the law? Inform the education department and ask all schools and kindergartens to report the list of students who have not come to school?"

"This list is still too big, what school doesn't have a bunch of truant naughty eggs skipping class?

It should be more secure: teachers in various schools and kindergartens should pay close attention to the vivid direction of the class these days, and if there is a student who does not ask for leave in advance and does not show up to class, the class teacher should immediately call the student or the student's parents to confirm the child's movements and whereabouts. If you can't get in touch with the students and parents, you can't get in touch for more than 24 hours -- at that point, there is a real possibility that something is wrong. At that time, the police of the police station in the jurisdiction were notified to conduct a preliminary investigation...... No, it's too dangerous, and it's easy to startle snakes, if you encounter such a situation, it's better to report directly to our headquarters, and the police in the jurisdiction will lead the way, and let our special combat team or armed police dispatch to check. ”

"Boss Gao, tonight's liaison meeting with the Public Security Bureau and the Armed Police, we will talk about this idea and let them cooperate......"

"The key is that the Municipal Education Commission is willing to cooperate, we have a lot of dealings with the Public Security Bureau, but we really haven't dealt much with the Education Commission...... This matter has to be fast, and if it drags on for a few more days, it seems that all primary and secondary schools will have winter vacation. ”

"Don't be afraid, this matter is related to the stability and security of the capital during the two sessions, and the municipal government also attaches great importance to it. Tonight, we will go to the Jingcheng City Government to negotiate this matter, and ask them to give an order to the City Education Commission overnight tonight -- this order must be conveyed to all junior high schools, primary schools, and kindergartens in the city by tomorrow morning! Tomorrow morning, the teachers of each school will have to start checking the students in their classes......

"Okay! How to draft this notice to the Municipal Education Commission really has to be considered in detail...... If you don't write clearly, I'm afraid that schools and teachers won't pay enough attention to it, and if you write too clearly, it will cause panic in society...... Knowing that there is a man-eating monster lurking in the capital, it will scare people to death. ”

"This matter is not a headache for us, let the pen sticks in the command worry about it, they will grasp the proportion. We just need to determine the idea and grasp the direction, and that's good. ”

Wen Xiuzhi patted the table lightly, and he looked at Xu Yan gratefully: "Brother Yan, you are really my guiding light! This idea you gave is really timely! I will go to a meeting and arrange this matter overnight." ”

Xu Yan shook his head: "Wenju, you are not in a hurry to thank me." I'm thinking, although we think about it very well, but what if the monster chooses to hide in the family that has no children? This kind of thing is not impossible. ”

Wen Xiuzhi's face darkened, but then, his expression became resolute again, and he said: "Brother Yan, in this world, how can there be anything that can be completely certain? We have no clues, so we can only rely on a large-scale and extensive investigation to find people, this kind of thing is similar to looking for a needle in a haystack, and there is not much hope.

The ideas you've given us to help us narrow it down to this point are pretty remarkable—and as for whether we can find the beast, it's up to God to help us out. ”

At this time, Director Gao Min interjected beside him, and he said gently: "Director Wen, Xiao Xu, I still firmly believe that we will definitely be able to catch this beast! We will eliminate the harm for the people and destroy those man-eating monsters, this is a just cause, God will definitely bless us, and those souls in heaven who sacrificed the martyrs, they will also bless us!"

He looked at Xu Yan and smiled: "Of course, Comrade Xiao Xu—uh, and our Comrade Xiao Zhu, you will also help us, won't you?"

At this moment, thinking that he was engaged in a righteous and great cause, Xu Yanzhen felt a little passionate, and he nodded vigorously: "Director Wen, Senior Division, although my ability is limited, but to eliminate this man-eating beast, this is a righteous act, as a Chinese, I am also duty-bound, and I will definitely go all out!"

"Come, let's replace wine with tea, cheers and go, and I wish that beast to be brought to justice as soon as possible - uh, completely destroyed!"

Wen Xiuzhi proposed, raised his glass early, and everyone, including Zhu Youxiang, stood up and raised a glass to touch it, and then drank it all.

After toasting, someone knocked lightly on the door outside the box, and Wen Xiuzhi turned around and shouted: "Come in!"

The door opened, and the beautiful young woman, Manager Mei, stood at the door with a smile and said very politely: "Director Wen, everyone, I didn't bother you, right? That's right, just now the waiter came to report, saying that he wanted to serve you food, but several times you said wait - this, Director Wen, wait any longer, I'm afraid that the dishes will be cold, and if you have to go back to the pot and heat it again, it won't taste good." Did you let them serve the food first, and you guys chatted while eating?" (To be continued)
