......

"You smell it, right?"

"What about you?"

"Cats have a stronger sense of smell than people, and they must have smelled it early."

"What's that smell?"

"Carrion? And the smell of stinky gutters? And the smell of blood, which is not new......"

"The old man's sense of smell is quite powerful!"

"That's all that remains with this nose."

Roadside food stalls.

The old man of the sanitation worker had already packed up the broom and other cleaning utensils, and at the invitation of Xu Lai, he sat down to eat a cup of cold powder.

He did not refuse.

The owner of the food stall did not dislike him for being dirty and wanted to drive him out.

Not far away, they watched as three police officers were checking for something from sewer to sewer.

One of them was dressed in civilian clothes, but he was the biggest official in the room.

Not long ago, he asked Xu Lai and the sanitation worker a few questions.

Nature is about sewers.

"Officer Ishida."

The assistant not far away seemed to have discovered something, and called for Ishida to come over.

After speeding over.

I saw the assistant with muddy hands and a soaked shoe from the crack in the sewer with his fingers.

"It's the same shoes as the missing child wears."

The assistant said with some excitement.

After several days of searching, this was the first time they had found important clues.

Ishida calmly commanded:

"Take the shoes back and ask the parents of the missing child to reconfirm. Once it is met, I will apply to my superiors for more police force, and I will dig three feet into the ground to get those children back. ”

Increasing the number of police?

Isn't it easier to find a police dog?

Black Carbon answers:

It is said that because of the dog people, dogs on this planet are not allowed to be police dogs.

Even if the appearance of the dog star man did not change the status of the blue star dog too much, it just did not allow the dog to be a police dog.

Such unreasonable demands.

It's not the first time I've seen Xu Lai.

The difference in level makes this place always maintain a certain distance from the earth.

......

"Find it! If you look for it, you won't find it. I can't find it, and after a while, I forget it, and if I forget it, no one will look for it, and if no one looks for it, I will forget it......."

I finished eating the jelly.

The old man who called himself the eighth sanitation worker got up, and he was going to clean up.

Because when the police went down the drain, they stained the street again.

It's his job.

Xu Lai and Hei Tan did not leave in a hurry.

"Anyway, you're a cat, and you won't have anything to do when you're free, so why don't you stay and help me?"

"Are you looking for those kids?"

"I'm not interested in the lives of those children, I'm interested in taking those children."

"Those children were taken away."

"Have you heard of the rumors of the Southside sewer monsters?"

Black Charcoal shook his head.

Xu Lai then recounted:

There is a monster living in the sewers of the Southern District.

Appearing every seven years, he hid in the sewers, spotted every child who approached the sewer, and then pulled the child into the sewer while no one was looking.

He would appear in one breath for seventeen days.

After seventeen days, he will be gone.

And then seven years later, he reappeared.

......

This kind of thing..... Black charcoal has not been heard of.

"You can't make up this rumor, right?"

Black Carbon was skeptical.

"Do you think I'm such an idle person?"

Xu Laidao:

"The problem is that it's just been seven years, and everyone seems to have forgotten about it. Even parents who have lost their children will forget about it, so it is not so simple. ”

Black Tan was a little panicked when he heard this.

If that's really the case.

Isn't that a monster in the sewers terrifying?

But fortunately, Xu Lai seems to be a scary guy too.

After all, the guy from the eighteenth layer of hell is not terrifying, how should he mix!

Black Tan was hovering in his mind, and the driver Lao Wang said to him:

Naturally, the powerful guy should be handed over to the great guy.

That's right.

"What do you need me to do?"

Black Carbon asked.

Xu Lai pointed in the direction where Officer Ishida was:

"Isn't there no police dog here? You're going to be a police cat for him, right? ”

"What?"

Black Carbon Says:

"My ....... in the East District"

"Hold on, seventeen days are already halfway over."

Xu Lai interrupted Black Tan and told him:

"Do you know why I came to the East End with you? It's not because I'm on you that I smell that monster. ”

"I smell of that monster on me."

Black Tan looked at Xu Lai nervously, and Xu Lai said unhurriedly:

"That monster shouldn't like to eat small animals, presumably it should be a child around you who is more familiar with it and has been taken by that monster....... So you're contaminated too. ”

After hearing this, Black Tan immediately thought of the children in the professor's house who were temporarily living in his mind.

Could it be that Yuzu is being targeted by a monster?

He thought about it.

It rained a few days ago, and Black Tan saw that Xiaoyuzi often wore a raincoat to go outside to tread water.

Tread water?

Sewer?

Kurotan didn't hesitate, jumped up, and ran towards Officer Ishida.

When he got to Officer Ishida's heels, he meowed, attracting Ishida's attention, and then ran to a sewer not far away, and began to meow and scream.

Ishida quickly understood the meaning of the black charcoal and immediately ran here with the people.

The sewer fence was lifted.

Ignoring the stench inside, Ishida reached out and poked into the black ditch.

After stirring in it for a long time......

Finally, I found another shoe again.

It's exactly the same pair as the one just now.

The assistant took a picture of the shoes and sent them to the parents of the missing child, who received a reply that they were the same shoes that the missing child was wearing that day.

Ishida immediately ordered:

"Pump ready, clean all the sewers here!"

"In addition, arrange for the water company, several communities in this vicinity, today's water will be cut off first, so as not to inject new water and cause the clues to be interrupted......"

His arrangement may have been unreasonable, but it was decisive.

Just like him.

His eyes were fixed on the sewers.

Even though his phone kept vibrating.

He couldn't be distracted at the moment.

Wait until the assistant says that the pumping work here will take some time.

He just found a quiet place, turned on his phone, looked at dozens of missed calls, and hurriedly replied.

It's just the other side, but no one answers.

He tried a few times, but after no answer, he didn't care.

It was about ten o'clock in the morning.

After three or four hours of pumping, the bottom of the sewer was exposed.

"What's that?"

"It looks like a hole."

"But the drawings don't have this hole on it!"

Ishida led the people to climb down.

At the edge of the opening, jagged chisel marks were found.

"It should have been dug up by someone secretly......"

"Who could it be? What do you do by digging these? ”
