April 9. Monday. Afternoon, 15:59.

The fourth floor of the hospital became darker and darker, and it could only be relied on by overhead lights. Ye Xiao leaned against the wall to greet Lao Wang's arrival and took over a thick pile of information.

Lao Wang said a little tiredly: "The task force has been set up, and I have just compiled this information. However, the director also gave us a time limit, and if there was no major breakthrough within 24 hours, the case would be handed over to the Security Service. ”

"Why?"

"This is too big for us local police to handle, and we have to take into account the global implications, and we can't make any mistakes, let alone any negative news."

"Twenty-four hours? Do they really think I'm God? ”

Lao Wang patted him on the shoulder: "I will be back soon." ”

Ye Xiao stayed alone in the corridor, looking at his shadow on the floor.

Open the first page of the profile. About Mo Xing'er - Twenty-five years old, born in this city, her mother died when she was eighteen years old, and her father committed suicide shortly after. The inner hard things that Ye Xiao found in her eyes were probably cultivated by a special family background. She graduated from a university in the city, the most ordinary major. Although he works in an American-funded company, he is a junior position, and his monthly salary is only three or four thousand yuan. Mo Xinger's colleagues reported that because she was beautiful and like a star, male colleagues often pursued her, but they were all closed-door and had never heard of her love status. She is a person with a story - Ye Xiao has already made a judgment. As for the war between humans and animals that she said, Zhou Xuan and Edification didn't even mention a word, obviously someone was lying.

Later, he saw a name that Mo Xinger had said - Guo Xiaojun, with the words "rich second generation" and "Dior suit", there was no doubt that he was the person on the missing list. According to the data, although this Guo Xiaojun is young, he has tens of millions of luxury cars under his name, and he often goes out to nightclubs with male stars. His father is a powerful person who is related to the high-level, and when he heard that his only son was crushed underground, he must be rescued if he dredged up the relationship, and privately offered a reward of 10 million yuan. If the police confirm that Guo Xiaojun is dead and that he was bitten to death by dogs and cats, it is unknown what the consequences will be.

In addition, there are new and important discoveries. Among the dead who had begun to decompose on the fourth basement floor was a largely well-preserved body, a man in his fifties. The forensic doctor felt that the deceased was very familiar, and no matter how he looked at it, he looked like Professor Wu Hanlei, who frequently appeared in various TV programs. Through DNA comparison, it was confirmed that the deceased was Wu Hanlei. The medical examiner judged that his death was not long, and it was only more than ten hours before the rescue team entered the ninth floor underground. Although, the cause of death has not yet been ascertained, Ye Xiao believes that this is the second homicide - no, judging from the time of the killing, it is the first one discovered so far!

Lao Wang is a careful policeman, and he attached detailed information to the professor's autopsy report-

Wu Hanlei, 49 years old, graduated from the Department of Geology of one of the most famous universities in China. At the age of 22, he studied theoretical physics at Cambridge at public expense under the tutelage of Stephen Hawking. He published a dissertation under Stephen Hawking's direction that shocked the global academic community, received a doctorate, was hired as a professor at Cambridge at the age of 30, and is considered by the West to be the most likely Chinese scholar to win the Nobel Prize in physics. In recent years, he has returned to China to preside over the study of various natural disasters in the world, and published a paper in the international authoritative academic journal "Nature", predicting that the earth will have the strongest earthquake in history this year, and all mankind will not be spared. After the publication of the paper, it caused widespread controversy, and there was no shortage of well-known scientists who supported his views. In the past two years, he has traveled all over the world, investigated and studied various strange phenomena, detected the changes of major active volcanoes, and became the most influential figure in the academic circles. There are even religious people who believe in Wu Hanlei's prophecy and negotiate specifically with the Pope. The Vatican authorities have neither supported nor refuted the rumors, and their ambiguous and ambiguous attitude has caused concern for Catholics around the world. A few months ago, Wu Hanlei published his first popular science book, "The Dark Day - The End of the World is Coming", claiming that this is the last prophecy book of mankind, which quickly sold well around the world. Although there are still countless experts and scholars who strongly criticize Wu Hanlei and call his predictions sensational heresy, in view of the fact that many "brick families" are repeatedly brainless, these accusations have caused the people to have a strong rebellious mentality, and according to a poll half a month ago, 30 percent of netizens believe in the theory of the end of the world.

Is there an end of the world? There is still no answer. For the six survivors rescued from the underground, although they escaped this time, but a month later? Two months later? Or what about half a year later? Even though the Great Prophet has been killed in Hell.

After the six survivors were rescued to the ground, they found that one of the senior high school girls had * in her pocket to testify, with the words "Future Dream Mall Cleaning Department" on it, and the photo was a middle-aged woman named Yu Pingxiang. This name is on the missing list, 40 years old this year, a rural household registration in other places, working alone in the city to make a living, and now working as a cleaner in the future dream mall. The surviving high school junior girl is named Ding Zi, born in an ordinary family in the city, and her parents died in a car accident a few years ago. Ding Zi studied at 41 Middle School, just 100 meters away from the Future Dream Building, and the school registered her on the list of missing persons. The school also reported another missing person, a classmate of Ding Zi named Haimei, whose body has not yet been found.

When it was time for interrogation, Ye Xiao came to the door of a ward, and the nurse changed into an epidemic prevention suit for him. As he had done the previous times, he closed the door, opened the glass door, and made his way to the bed.

There was plenty of sunlight here, and the sunlight shone through the iron railings and onto the face of eighteen-year-old Ding Zi. Ye Xiao saw a sad girl, curled up in the quilt, staring at the uninvited guest with red eyes, and tears remained on her cheeks. She wiped her cheeks with the back of her hand, propped up her upper body, and straightened her messy hair: "You are Ye Xiao?" ”

"How do you know?"

"I know you saved us." Ding Zi didn't have a grateful expression at all, just tried to suppress his emotions, and if he couldn't control it a little, tears would burst out of his eyes, "What do you want to ask?" ”

Ye Xiao temporarily suppressed the prepared question and aimed it directly into her eyes: "Why are you sad?" ”

This question made her stunned for a moment, but she stiffly replied: "This has nothing to do with you." ”

"Don't you want to cooperate with me?" He didn't expect this girl to be so young but so hard-mouthed, a difficult character, "Okay, I'll know why." ”

"Nobody can get it."

Ye Xiao didn't want to go around with her: "The information shows that you are in the third year of high school in Siyi Middle School?" ”

"Yes, so what?"

"It's an honor that we are alumni. However, it's been 17 years since I graduated, and I'm afraid there is no one I know. ”

Ye Xiao was so close, but eighteen-year-old Ding Zi was unmoved, and suddenly lowered his voice: "Do you believe in the existence of ghosts?" ”
