Chapter 496: Lin Zhongge
Yuan Muye said in a deep voice when he heard this, "Although everything looks normal here on the surface, once you look closely, you will feel indescribably awkward......
When Ah Zhe heard this, he looked out the window and said, "I took a closer look just now, and I really didn't find anyone in the town who used a mobile phone, and the people here are just like the bottle of mineral water just now, which has expired for more than ten years!" ”
Hearing Ah Zhe say this, Yuan Muye suddenly remembered something, so he turned his head and asked Shi Lei, "Can you find a way to check the Ruian Company that opened the water plant here before?" ”
Shi Lei said that there was no problem when he heard it, but after he glanced at his mobile phone, he said helplessly, "There is no mobile phone signal in this damn place, but fortunately I brought a satellite phone, and there is basically no problem with using it to surf the Internet and transmit data." ”
When Ah Zhe heard this, he complained, "People here don't use mobile phones, so it's naturally useless to ask for a signal!" I'm just curious, how do they insist on not using their phones all the time? Do they not need it when their children go to school and work? As long as the younger generation uses it, then the older generation will naturally use it together. ”
Shi Lei went online to investigate the old man of the Ruian company, and said in a deep voice, "That's not necessarily, doesn't Sui Guangnan always insist on sending letters here?" ”
Yuan Muye nodded when he heard this and said, "The people and things here seem to have been stuck many years ago, and have you noticed that there are no children here!" Although it is said that there is no school in the town...... But what about the children who are just born, or who are before elementary school? If you don't even have these children who have to be taken care of by the elder, isn't it a bit too much? ”
Ah Zhe also agreed with Yuan Muye's point of view this time, he looked at the street scene outside the car window and said, "It's really suspicious...... The population of this town must have 8,000 if not 10,000, how can there be no newborns? ”
At this time, I heard Shi Lei look at the information found in his mobile phone and say, "I just checked all the companies named Ruian in country M in the past 30 years, and there is indeed a company called Ruian Co., Ltd. that once invested in Hailin and set up a factory...... But that was more than a decade ago. ”
Yuan Muye said with a surprised face after hearing this, "You mean that it was more than ten years ago that the elementary school was abolished and changed to a water plant!?" ”
Shi Lei nodded and said, "To be exact, it should have been 19 years ago." ”
"Damn, isn't this the same year as the expired mineral water in the hotel?" Ah Zhe also said with a look of surprise.
After Yuan Muye heard this, he immediately asked Shi Lei to check whether there had been any mass deaths in Hailin over the years? As a result, Shi Lei's answer was no, because the latest news about Hailin Town that could be found on the Internet was also 19 years ago, that is, the groundbreaking ceremony of the water plant owned by Rui'an Company.
After that, Hailin seemed to be frozen 19 years ago, and there was no more related news. The strangest thing is that the Shui On company, after investing in the town's water plant, its performance has been declining, and it declared bankruptcy in October of the same year.
Yuan Muye said thoughtfully when he heard this, "If the water plant was built 19 years ago, then the abolition of the primary school happened at least a year ago, so even if the proprietress of Lin Zhongge didn't die at that time, it shouldn't be at this age?" ”
"It seems that this pavilion in the forest is also unspeakably weird inside and out, we have checked in last night and gone out this morning, it seems that we have not seen anyone else except the proprietress." Shi Lei said in a deep voice.
After hearing this, Ah Zhe echoed, "I told you that you still don't believe it, my hearing Lei Zi knows, I will never hear it wrong, I am sure that the hotel is really only the three of us panting alive!" ”
Yuan Muye shook his head when he heard this, "No, I saw that the proprietress had a ruddy face, and she didn't look like a dead person at all, and these pedestrians on the street, although their behavior was indescribably weird, but no matter how they looked, they were all big living people!" You can't be wrong with that. ”
Ah Zhe just wanted to say something when he heard it, but he turned his head to the side and suddenly said in surprise, "What about people? Did you just come and go? How is it that there is no one in just a few minutes? ”
Yuan Muye also immediately looked out of the car window after hearing this, and sure enough, as Ah Zhe said, the street that was still lively just now was empty at this time, and even the newsstand owner just now was nowhere to be found, leaving the pile of expired waste newspapers blown by the wind......
Shi Lei glanced at the time at this time and said, "It can't be that they have to go home for a nap immediately at a certain time, right?!" ”
"Come on, isn't it eleven o'clock yet? Take a nap at this time? It's too early, isn't it? Ah Zhe said with a puzzled expression.
Yuan Muye thought for a while and said, "Why don't you go back to the hotel first, there are too many mysteries in this town, and we can only solve them one by one." ”
Then the three of them drove the car back to Lin Zhongge, although they could occasionally see one or two pedestrians on the road, but as soon as they saw their car, they basically turned around immediately, and seemed to be very taboo about their car.
Although they didn't know why this happened, the three of them couldn't get out of the car and ask someone, so they had to drive all the way back to the hotel...... After the car stopped, Yuan Muye said with some puzzlement, "Is our car a little too eye-catching?!" ”
Ah Zhe got out of the car at this time and looked at it and said, "It's okay, I specially got a low-key car this time......
Yuan Muye got out of the car and looked at it and said, "It's somewhere else, you see the cars parked around here, basically they are old models from many years ago, so our car will be recognized by the locals as soon as it is on the road." ”
After hearing this, Ah Zhe patted his head and said, "This is simple, you say which car you like, I will help you get it in minutes!" ”
Yuan Muye naturally believed that Ah Zhe had this ability, but the problem was that this town was not big, so he stole someone's car in such a grand manner, wouldn't it be even worse if he was found on the street?
So he shook his head and said, "It's definitely not reliable to steal a car, so why don't we go on a walk instead of that?" Besides, this town is not too big in the first place......"
The three of them walked into the hotel as they spoke, but when they went in, they found that the front desk on the first floor was the same as when they came before, and there was still no one, as if the hotel had never worried that it would neglect its guests.
This time they didn't alarm the hostess, but quickly scattered around to see what was so strange about the inn......
Yuan Muye came to the front desk first, and he found the hotel's check-in record book, wanting to see if it was only the three of them who checked in.
As a result, he casually flipped through it and found the clue, daring to love that this hotel not only has three guests today, but only three of them from the beginning of the year to the present!
