Chapter 41: The Law of Concealment

Luo Hui was surprised: "Wait? What are you waiting for? ”

Master Mao didn't explain, looked around, his eyes fell on a hotel, got up and patted his buttocks, and went straight to the hotel, Luo Hui hurriedly followed: "Master, you make it clear." ”

Master Mao said to himself: "This hotel doesn't look high-grade, and there is no way to do it in extraordinary times, so let's make do with it." ”

Luo Hui stopped in annoyance, and Master Mao turned around and smiled: "I'm tired from a day of visiting, so I can't sit on the road, right?" Didn't you say that your investigative ability is very strong, and you don't lose to the dark line investigators, what do you think I'm waiting for? ”

Although Master Mao's banter and non-cooperation made Luo Hui very dissatisfied, he had the spirit of not admitting defeat, and he held his breath in his heart and didn't ask Master Mao.

After the two stayed in the hotel, Luo Hui lay on the bed to rest, the time had reached seven o'clock in the evening, Luo Hui turned over and over again and never thought of what Master Mao meant by "waiting", so he simply didn't think about it, and after taking a bath, he lay on the windowsill and looked at the night view of Shanghai City.

This hotel is located on the riverside, you can see the night view of the river beach, the buildings by the river are lit up with destructive neon lights, the landmark Oriental Tower is shining with golden light, the river cruise ferry shuttles, the sound of the whistle, the bustling night scene makes Luo Hui relaxed, and his thoughts are clear, he opened the tablet and decided to study the information reported by the dark line investigator, and strive to find more clues.

Time passed minute by minute, Luo Hui's research data on forgetting to sleep and eat, until half past ten, through repeated research, Luo Hui finally found a detail in the data, although the seven deceased had different identity backgrounds and different places of suicide, but the time range of suicide was between eleven o'clock in the evening and one o'clock in the morning.

In addition, Luo Hui also discovered a detail, the interval between the suicides of each deceased seems to be irregular, but careful scrutiny turns out to be regular!

The interval between the first deceased and the second deceased is 24 days; The interval between the second deceased and the third deceased is 21 days; The interval between the third and fourth deceased is 18 days; The interval between the fourth deceased and the fifth deceased is 15 days, and the interval between the fifth deceased and the sixth deceased is 12 days; The interval between the sixth dead and the seventh is 9 days!

The suicide time of each deceased seems to be shortening by a multiple of 3!

It is this kind of seemingly irregular suicide case that causes the police not to link these suicides together, but in fact there is some kind of secret connection that the dark line investigator said!

If you look at it according to this law, the eighth deceased will appear on the 6th day after the death of the seventh deceased, and today happens to be the sixth day, and it is likely that the eighth deceased will appear tonight, and Master Mao is waiting for the eighth deceased to appear!

This discovery made Luo Hui excited, but at the same time, he was also puzzled by what this law represented.

Anyway, this is also a discovery, he planned to talk to Master Mao, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw Master Mao standing at the door, his hand on the doorbell and about to press it, Master Mao unnaturally retracted his hand: "I have something to report." ”

Luo Hui pulled Master Mao in and said excitedly: "Master, I know what you have to report, and I also understand what you are waiting for!" ”

Master Mao smiled and said, "Oh yes, let's hear it." ”

Luo Hui said: "Are you going to report to me that you are going out?" ”

Master Mao glanced at Luo Hui and did not answer, and motioned for Luo Hui to continue, Luo Hui said eagerly: "The time of suicide of these deceased is actually regular, the interval between the suicides of each deceased is shrinking by a multiple of 3, and the time of suicide is within the sub-hour, according to this law, the eighth deceased will appear in the sub-hour 6 days after the seventh deceased, which happens to be today, at about half past ten, and it is about to enter the sub-hour, so you plan to go out to find the eighth deceased, and strive to stop him before he jumps off the building, At the same time, you want to follow this line to trace the truth, right?! ”

Master Mao was shocked, originally thought that Luo Hui couldn't find such an obscure and unknown law, and wanted to embarrass him, but he didn't expect him to crack it in just a few hours, and immediately looked at him, but because of his face, Master Mao didn't show it, and said calmly: "Well, it's indeed such a law." ”

Luo Hui humbly asked for advice at this time: "Master, you have more experience than me, do you know what this law represents?" ”

Master Mao shook his head and said: "I haven't figured out the reason why the suicide interval is shortened by a multiple of 3, but the haunt of many monsters in the sub-hour is a characteristic of many monsters, and the monsters are very unsuitable for the human environment due to their habits. ”

Luo Hui said thoughtfully: "I heard the older generation say that when the child is the hour when a hundred ghosts walk at night, dirty things like to haunt at this hour. ”

Master Mao said: "That's right, so this incident may also be another species, not necessarily a monster." ”

Luo Hui was curious: "What else is there besides the demon?" ”

Master Mao sneered and said, "Just now you yourself mentioned the Hundred Ghosts Night Walk, ghosts!" ”

Luo Hui exclaimed: "Ghost? Is there really a ghost in this world?! ”

Master Mao snorted and said: "This world is not as simple as you see, since demons can exist, why can't ghosts exist?" ”

Luo Hui was stunned: "But the demon has an entity, I can understand that the demon is some unknown creature, another race, but the ghost is too idealistic........" ”

Master Mao said disdainfully: "Who told you that the demon must be an entity?" ”

Luo Hui asked, "Could it be that the demon is not physical?" ”

Master Mao said in a deep voice: "Of course! It's just that the demon race is a relatively large race, and the threat to us is greater, so we rarely mention other races, in addition to the demon race, there are also ghost races, demons and other species, the beginning of heaven and earth, the avenue is three thousand, each species has its own way of survival, and the word demon killing is connected for a reason. ”

Luo Hui was shocked, and Master Mao said disdainfully: "You can't even figure this out and become the captain, and I don't know what Lao Pu thinks, don't rub it off, hurry up, the eighth person won't survive if it's late." ”

Luo Hui came back to his senses and hurriedly packed up his things and hurriedly followed Master Mao out, but Shanghai was so big that he couldn't search with the power of only two people, and he couldn't use the power of the 816 Bureau to contact relevant departments for a large-scale investigation, which made Luo Hui difficult, and asked Master Mao what to do, Master Mao frowned and shook his head, and said that there was no good way, so he could only use the most primitive method to find it one by one.
