There were only Tang Yao's footprints on the ground, Tang Yao didn't know how this could happen, just as he wanted to speak, the old army raised his hand and knocked on Tang Yao's head, and shouted: "You kid is playing me, it's such a cold day, I'll go back to sleep." ”

After the old soldier finished speaking, he returned to the dormitory, Tang Yao touched his aching head but his face was full of doubts, he had just seen those footprints, why were they missing now, did someone bury these footprints after he left?

If someone deliberately buries these footprints, does that mean that someone can break into the botanical garden without triggering any mechanism, then how strong should this person be, and is the botanical garden no longer safe?

As soon as he thought of this, he looked up and saw the shadows of the trees in the botanical garden swaying, as if something was staring at him, and he felt a chill down his spine for the first time in the botanical garden.

Back in the dormitory, at least there are veterans and master Yuanmoto in the dormitory, the night passed without happening, the next day Tang Yao took the photo and address to Tao Jia's place, Tang Yao called her several times in advance, the first call was through, Tang Yao just explained the intention of the call, the other party hung up the phone without saying a word, and then all the calls were refused, in desperation Tang Yao decided to visit, to Tao Jia's downstairs, he rang the doorbell for a long time and no one opened the door, At this time, an old lady who came back from shopping for vegetables happened to walk in from the building, Tang Yao hurriedly walked in and then went upstairs, standing outside Tao Jia's door, he knocked on the door or no one opened the door, and no one even answered the door, he felt that there might be no one in the house, and when he was about to leave, he suddenly heard some noise from inside, as if it was the sound of slippers, he immediately knocked on the door and said: "I heard a voice inside, I am a courier, can you open the door?" ”

Tang Yao did not indicate his identity, saying that he was the little brother who delivered the courier, and sure enough, this trick was tried, the door was opened, and a woman looked at Tang Yao through the crack in the door, Tang Yao smiled and said: "I have a courier of yours, please sign for it." ”

"I haven't bought anything online, are you mistaken?" The woman asked.

"No, I'll take a look......" Tang Yao turned his back and pretended to look at his phone and asked, "Is your name Tao Jia, is the phone ......?"

The woman nodded and said, "It's me, but I haven't bought anything, what kind of courier are you sending and what is the address, you can't be mistaken, right?" ”

Tang Yao said: "I don't know about this, but the thing is relatively large, I put it in the corridor below, you open the door, I will move the things up, can you hurry up, I still have a lot of orders to send today." ”

Tao Jia nodded and completely opened the door, Tang Yao quickly rushed into the door when he saw this, Tao Jia was stunned at first and then asked in horror: "Who are you, what do you want to do, I'll call the police." ”

Tang Yao waved his hand and said: "I have no malice, I called you early this morning, you hung up without saying anything, don't you remember, my name is Tang Yao, I came for the black wolf case, I heard that you are the last witness to see the black wolf, can you talk to me?" ”

As soon as Tao Jia heard Tang Yao say the word black wolf, his expression was obviously wrong, he looked a little panicked, and waved his hand again and again and said: "I don't know what black wolf is, you go quickly, if you don't leave, I will really call the police." ”

Tang Yao glanced into the house at this time, the house was very messy, not only dirty clothes were everywhere, but the table was also full of take-out lunch boxes, the room was very dark, the sun was good outside, but she didn't even open the curtains, a computer was turned on, and there was a suspended American drama on it, which looked like a senior otaku, but soon Tang Yao saw a card on the table, Tang Yao's eyesight was good, and he saw that the card turned out to be an illusionist certificate issued by the illusion master, which means that this woman is likely to be an illusionist.

"Are you also an illusionist?" Tang Yao asked.

Tao Jia was stunned again, and then immediately reacted, Tang Yao should have seen the magnetic card on the table, she immediately walked over to cover the magnetic card, and turned around and said: "I don't know what you are talking about, leave my house immediately, otherwise I will call the police immediately." ”

Tang Yao smiled and said: "Since they are all illusionists, let's talk about it a little bit, I am here to investigate the black wolf case, and you are the last witness to see the black wolf, I want to know where you have seen the black wolf, what is the relationship between you and the black wolf, and please tell me everything you know." ”

Tao Jia became more and more impatient and said: "I don't know what you are talking about, if you don't leave, I will call the police immediately." ”

While speaking, Tao Jia picked up the mobile phone on the table and prepared to call the police, Tang Yao said unhurriedly at this time: "I met a very mysterious behemoth last night, with black hair, exuding rapid breathing and the smell of blood, but it walked without sound, and the footprints left behind would disappear quickly, I want to know what it is, why follow me?" ”

Tao Jia's hand holding the mobile phone shook slightly, turned around and said, "You...... Was you also stalked by a black wolf? ”

"Hehe, you really know the inside story, do you mean that the thing that followed me last night was a black wolf, why did it follow me, and what is it, I can be sure that it is not an ancient spirit, but it is not a living animal, what is it, is it a monster, there should be no such thing as a monster in the world." Tang Yao said.

Tao Jia completely put down the phone, walked over and closed the door first, and the room was suddenly dark after the door was closed, at this time Tang Yao noticed that there were actually many illusion traps in the dark and messy room, mainly concentrated on the ceiling, these illusion traps can only be seen clearly in the dark, and a little light will hide these traces, Tao Jia turned on the light, and then sat on the sofa and said, "Which organization are you sent to investigate the black wolf case?" ”

"I'm from the Hall of Dead Bones, my name is Tang Yao."

"Hehe, it seems that the Hall of Dead Bones is ready to give up on you, hehe......" Tao Jia sneered, "Did you offend someone, otherwise why did they send you to die?" ”

"I know that the black wolf case is very dangerous, and I also know that many people died in the black wolf case, but these are my business, I am looking for you to hope that you can tell me all the circumstances you saw the black wolf at that time, and I also guess that there should be some kind of relationship between you and the black wolf, otherwise the black wolf has disappeared for many years Why will you be seen, I am afraid that this kind of thing is not applicable to the masters in our circle." Tang Yao said.

Tao Jia nodded and said: "You guessed accurately, I did have a relationship with the black wolf for a while, I was his woman before his accident five years ago, and he was imprisoned in a mental hospital after his accident, and I went to see him once or twice at that time, and I thought he was completely finished and planned to leave him to find other men, but I didn't expect him to mysteriously disappear from the mental hospital, and I didn't expect him to come to me again after disappearing for a few years." ”

As she spoke, she lit a cigarette, this woman had messy hair, a pale face, deep bags under her eyes, and she didn't look like she had rested well, although she was a little older, and her body was more of a wind and dust than the youth and beauty of a young woman.

"Why did he come to you?" Tang Yao asked.

Tao Jia spit out the smoke ring and asked, "Do you know how much money the man named Qiu Wei from your Dead Bones Hall gave me when he came to me to make me speak?" ”

Tang Yao was stunned, but soon understood what this woman meant, and he asked directly, "How much do you want?" ”

"Twenty thousand, I don't think you look like a rich man, if you catch the black wolf, you will give me another hundred thousand." She spoke.

Tang Yao felt a little painful when he heard the 20,000 yuan, he spent 9,000 yuan on the bonus of 30,000 yuan this time and bought a ring and a little more than 20,000 yuan, it's not that he can't afford to give 20,000 yuan, but if he gives it out, he will become poor again, but this woman looks like the kind who doesn't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles.

"I don't have that much money, can I get cheaper?" Tang Yao asked.

Tao Jia snorted coldly and said: "If you don't have any money, please leave, 20,000 yuan is not much, if you catch the black wolf, you can get 600,000, give me 100,000 and you can get 500,000." ”

Tang Yao lowered his head and thought about it, then gritted his teeth and stomped his feet and said, "Okay, I'll give you 20,000." ”
