I asked Zhang Chen, "Is this what your master meant, or is it your own meaning?" ”

Zhang Chen said: "According to my master's meaning, I should hide in the master's gate and don't go." But I don't think it's a way to hide at all, and besides, it's going to be a qualifying match soon, so if I can't even pass this level, how can I get through the qualifying match? ”

I didn't expect Zhang Chen to be quite self-motivated, if it were me, I would definitely not want to be a turtle with a shrunken head. The brothers and sisters are all missing, and I am alone in hiding and safe, and those who don't know think I did it!

Zhang Chen asked again: "By the way, Senior Brother Chen Rong, it's about to be the qualifying competition, are you coming here at this time, aren't you afraid of delaying the game?" ”

It seemed that Zhang Chen didn't know about Shen Tuming going through the back door for me, so I had to deal with it casually: "It's okay, there is plenty of time for the qualifying competition, can I still solve three cases in half a year?" ”

"Haha, it's worthy of Senior Brother Chen Rong, he speaks so confidently." Zhang Chen smiled heartily, "But it's best to finish it as soon as possible, because the next two games are to cooperate with others, and if the first game is completed too late, only the players with inferior strength can be matched together." ”

After he reminded me, it occurred to me that there is such a cat in the competition system. People with poor strength are usually slower to handle cases, or even unable to complete them, until deadlines. At this time, the first to complete has already been randomly teamed, and the second to complete can only be teamed up with the later finisher.

Therefore, in order not to be dragged back by the pig teammates, you must hurry up and handle the case. But I don't have this kind of trouble, if I can't finish it first half a month in advance, then I'm too wasteful.

When I arrived at Tianyimen, I was arranged to stay in their internal hotel, and the nearby rooms were occupied by disciples of the Spiritual Circle who had come to study. However, due to the imminent reshuffle of the Psychic Association, although this is the last opportunity to further study, everyone is preparing for the next qualifying competition, and there are not many people coming, and there are basically empty rooms around.

"Senior Brother Chen Rong, you rest here first, let's add a WeChat, and just look for me if you have something." After Zhang Chen dropped me off at the hotel, he was about to leave.

What is it that I am using my phone to add a password? ”

Zhang Chen said: "Every room is a random password, you."

Go into the house and scan the QR code, pay 1 yuan and receive it. Once you check out, your password will be changed randomly. ”

I was really stunned, I had never heard of hotel wifi and charged money.

I asked again, "If you come to study here, you don't have to pay for food and lodging, do you?" ”

"Of course, but it's all included in the tuition." Zhang Chen's face looked as it should be.

I thought to myself, no wonder Master never let me go to further study, he was reluctant to pay this money!

After Zhang Chen left, although I was physically and mentally exhausted because of the running all the way, I was really in no mood to rest. The original three disappearances became four, and a potential victim followed. In case I handle the case and lose Zhang Chen, how can I explain to Shen Tuming?

The biggest headache for me is that I have only one feeling about these four cases, and that is that I don't know where to start.

There seems to be a rough range of where the first three people disappeared, but who can guarantee that they didn't go anywhere else? I'll give you an analogy, the first person Tang Nuo disappeared somewhere, and the second person Xu Xia received a message from the murderer during the handling of the case, luring him to go to a certain place to save Tang Nuo, but for some reason, he couldn't report the news to the teacher, and then disappeared. Then a third person is tricked into the same way, so that the location of their disappearance is unknown. Not to mention the fourth missing person, who is purely self-defeating and can be reported and sent to the head.

It's not impossible that four people are like matryoshka dolls, one by one, and in the end they are all put in, right?

I also thought of another possibility: the killer secretly followed several victims, abducted them after they went out, and it was just a coincidence that he went to Wumeng Mountain to solve the case. In other words, the murderer deliberately waited until they took over the case in Wumeng Mountain, and then did it, in order to lead the investigation direction to Wumeng Mountain. If so, the murderer can only be someone from inside Tianyimen. But in this way, I can't check at all, there are nearly 100 people up and down Tianmen, and the time span of the crime is so large, it is impossible for the vast majority of people to have an alibi.

So I can only look at the simplest situation, at least a rough scope of investigation.

Wait a minute! The fourth person seems to be a headshot, but he may be the only place to start

。

The first three people handled different cases, but the fourth person went into the mountains not to solve the case, but to find someone. If I were him and I wanted to go into the mountains to find my girlfriend, I would definitely go to the last place where my girlfriend appeared to investigate, which is the location of the Longkeng case!

In this way, only Han Song and Xiao Ruohui may have the same place of accident, and the time point of the Longkeng case is the most recent and most likely to become a breakthrough.

In fact, among those three cases, I was most interested in the Longkeng case. There are so many legends about dragons in history, but there has never been evidence that dragons really existed. As far as I know, in 1996, Xinpu Township, Guanling County, Guizhou Province excavated the fossils of the "New Chinese Dragon", and the fine experts peeled and restored it, and found that there was a pair of dragon horns on the head, which resembled the image of the dragon in myths and legends. It is also the closest ancient creature ever found to the image of a dragon.

Also in your province, after 24 years, exactly two full eras, someone saw the fall of the real dragon, could it really be a coincidence?

Similar dragon falling incidents, the most famous is the Yingkou dragon falling in 1934. But due to the long period of time, it is impossible to conclude the truth of the incident based on just a few black and white photos. At present, the mainstream theory is that the media "Shengjing Times" that reported on the falling dragon incident at that time was a Japanese media in China, and they carefully fabricated the incident in order to publicize to the outside world that China had fallen. Because it is well known that the dragon is a symbol of China, and Japan is also a very superstitious people who believe in feng shui, they have already begun to prepare in various aspects a few years before the Lugou Bridge incident.

This Longkeng case obviously has nothing to do with the Japanese. But could it also be a faked event, in order to achieve some ulterior purpose?

In the evening, I sent Zhang Chen a WeChat message, telling him that I was going to enter the mountain early tomorrow morning, starting with the Longkeng case. He didn't say a word and wanted to go with me, although I was afraid that he would eventually become a head-giveaway, but without him, I would have to get lost in Wumeng Mountain.

"Seek wealth and danger." Zhang Chen comforted himself and me so much.

However, I deeply felt the pressure on myself, not only to investigate a case within a case, but also to protect my companions.

This trip to Wumeng Mountain will definitely not be peaceful.
