Chapter 478: Martyrdom
After the identification of colleagues, it was confirmed that the handwriting on the note was indeed written by Xue Xiaxia, but they had not seen this note.
Where did this paper come from, everyone also expressed their confusion, because it did not look like the letterhead used by the law firm, nor was it the paper torn from the notebook used by Xue Xiaxia.
The paper is slightly yellowed, similar to the texture of kraft paper, but much thinner than kraft paper, and cut very evenly, as if it were naturally a small piece of paper, not cut out.
I asked my colleagues if they had noticed anything wrong when they talked to Xue Xiaxia on the phone before, and they thought about it carefully, but they didn't feel anything suspicious.
But my inference is that it was not Xue Xiaxia herself who contacted the colleagues and parties in the law firm before, and with Xue Xiaxia's character, she would never do such an unbelievable thing, and there is no need to hide the whereabouts of the people on both sides, which is not reasonable at all.
After my colleagues left, there were only two people left in the office, Zhu Chen and I.
He patted me on the back and comforted, "Don't worry, we have arranged for various departments to investigate the surveillance video along the way, the situation of the vehicles, and every toll station has also begun to investigate, and we will be able to lock down her whereabouts soon." ”
I shook my head, "It's not that simple, since she can disappear so bizarrely, then she will definitely not leave clues that can be captured with technology, she is in danger this time." ”
Zhu Chen's brows furrowed, but he still tried to say in a calm tone, "No matter what, don't think about the worst outcome, you have to believe in your own ability, and you have to believe in her luck." ”
"Yes."
I decided to do something in her office now to sense if her soul could communicate with me, and if so, I think I would be able to sense her current situation.
I asked Zhu Chen to go out first, I closed the office door, pasted a soul chasing talisman on the east wall, and then sat down cross-legged in front of her desk, folded my hands and recited the incantation three times, and then began to recite Xue Xiaxia's name silently in my heart.
I used all my energy and vitality to track her whereabouts, and it was as if I was walking blindly in a dark alley, not feeling any light or hearing any sound.
After about a few minutes, I heard the familiar sound of breathing, it was Xue Xiaxia!
I looked around, but it was pitch black, I couldn't get any directions, and the sound of breathing didn't have a clear direction, it seemed like a surround sound resounding in all directions.
"Xue Xiaxia, where are you? You say something, I'm here to save you now, don't be afraid. I cried out as her breathing became more and more rapid and painful, and I could feel that she was suffering excruciatingly now.
I was angry and anxious, but I could only stumble around like a headless fly.
She seemed to be struggling, trying to get her mouth out and tell me what she was doing, but after a few minutes the breathing grew weak until it died down, and I didn't hear any critical messages.
The light returned to my eyes, and I opened my eyes and stood up in frustration.
I scanned the office, but I didn't find any clues.
I could sense her presence just now, but I couldn't figure out where she was, only that she was suffering and couldn't do anything about it.
I slammed my angry fist on the table, and the pain from my fist made me sober up a lot.
I opened the door and strode out, "Captain Zhu, I'll go to the bookstore right now." ”
"I'm coming with you?"
"No need, you're also busy now, let's call again when we have news!" I hurriedly said goodbye to Zhu Chen and drove straight to the bookstore.
Just before Ma Yuan told me that he was going to exchange with me, he knew about a very important friend of mine, and now I got the bad news that Xue Xiaxia was missing, this guy definitely knows Xue Xiaxia's situation.
However, I rushed to the bookstore, but the bookstore was closed, and the guy should have gone to heal, but it was not possible to escape, and he knew the consequences.
I drove to his neighborhood again, and I asked the doorman to connect me to his electronic doorbell, but the doorman said he wasn't home.
I tested the formation I had arranged outside the gate of the community, and sure enough, there was no movement, and the guy had gone elsewhere to heal.
I went to a vacant place outside the community, sat cross-legged facing the wall and began to follow Ma Yuan's traces, but at this time I could only feel that he was in a certain place, his breath was very weak, but I couldn't locate the exact address, this is a very normal rule, his breath was very blurry when he was healing, and it was normal for me to not be able to track it.
I can only go back to the hotel now to discuss countermeasures with Zhao Heizi, and for the first time I feel very helpless and incompetent, and I can't even think of a useful strategy in my head.
Could it be that she went to investigate Ma Yuan's details, and then fell into their ambush and trap? After all, she told you before that she would help you investigate Ma Yuan, although you refused, but I think she would do it for your sake. ”
As soon as Zhao Heizi said this, I suddenly felt that I had fallen into the abyss, and my whole body was cold, and it took a long time to come to my senses, "It's better not to be like this, this stupid girl, she really doesn't have to do this." ”
"There is another possibility, the demon organization has figured out the relationship between her and you, although you have not confirmed the relationship, but you care about each other very much, especially from her as an ordinary person, it is better to catch these clues, they control her, and want to use her to blackmail you."
When he said this, I was even more anxious, which is why I didn't dare to accept her feelings, I am an exorcist, she is an ordinary person, and we will only affect her when we are together.
I drove out and walked around the city, especially in the three areas we had identified earlier, and I couldn't find any hints about her.
When it was almost 10 o'clock, I sat down at the barbecue stand on the side of the road, feeling weak and confused, which made me feel very bad, but I had no power to change it.
"You can eat something, it's been a long day, no matter what, you have to maintain your strength." Zhao Heizi put a grilled chicken leg in front of me.
I picked it up and took a hard bite, and suddenly my heart was extremely sad, and my mind was full of the sound of her painful breathing when I was following Xue Xiaxia's trail just now.
Zhao Heizi analyzed, even if they really controlled Xue Xiaxia, they didn't dare to do anything to her directly, after all, they wanted to use Xue Xiaxia to exchange with me, and I was a very important role for them.
Just like what Ma Yuan said to me through Meifeng's body before, they tried to get me to join their organization, so it was impossible to hurt Xue Xiaxia so easily, in that case, our negotiations would not be able to proceed, they were just delaying time now, and the more anxious I was, the easier it would be to agree to their quid pro quo.
There was some truth in what he said, and I was reluctant to relax.
I threw down half of the chicken leg, picked up a tissue, wiped my mouth, and said coldly, "I'll go to that park now, and I guess I'll find something." ”
"Haven't you been to that park before?"
"It was still early when I went there just now, and it's almost 12 o'clock now, so I guess there will be some discoveries in the past."
Zhao Heizi opened his mouth and probably wanted to say that he came with me, but I waved my hand and interrupted him, "It's okay, you go back to the hotel, the hotel is estimated to be not peaceful in the next few days, those guys may come to a plan to divert the tiger from the mountain and disrupt our position, you go back to the town, hard work for you." ”
Zhao Heizi didn't persuade me either, he knew that I wasn't someone who did something with enthusiasm.
Get on the bus and head towards Xinsheng Elementary School Park, tonight seems to be much quieter than usual, but the weather is getting cooler, and it seems that pedestrians are reluctant to come out, after all, the pace of life in this city is fast, and not too many people are willing to waste time in the cold night.
The park was different from before, there were quite a few tourists, I walked for a while and met seven or eight, but they all looked at me strangely, and they were all ready to go back, and I had just entered the park.
I stood on the stone arch bridge where Manman fell into the water, I leaned over the fence with both hands and looked at the river slightly, at this time I could see a thin layer of mist on the surface of the river, in fact, this is an ordinary person, invisible to the naked eye.
I was excited in my heart, sure enough, it was time to come, this river is not simple, the evil qi is too heavy, the yin qi is entrenched here, the original attributes of the water are special, the evil qi and the yin qi cannot be dispersed, but will gather more heavily.
After Manman fell into the water that day, I jumped into the river to check it, and I didn't find anything unusual under the river, or maybe it happened suddenly, and because of the special situation, I didn't find anything else.
I was about to look into the river again when no one was around, when a tourist came up walking and stopped less than three paces beside me.
I turned around in confusion, and the other party was a middle-aged man in his 40s, who seemed to be a staff member of a state unit, and he was quite literate.
He looked at me, a little worried and surprised.
"Sir, what are you doing here? It's not early, aren't you going home? He asked tentatively.
I smiled faintly, "I can't sleep, come and take a look, thank you for the reminder." ”
"No, if you can't sleep, go for a walk somewhere else, this park is quite eerie at night, and a couple of young people jumped into the river a few months ago, which is particularly evil and terrifying." Speaking of this, the other party's expression became serious.
