Chapter 375: Collective Disappearance (2)
The head of the sect crouched down, carefully checking the marks on the dust below. He held on to the bookshelf and moved it as if it had been concocted.
Surprisingly, there seemed to be some device under the bookshelf, and such a large and heavy thing could be moved out by half an inch with great ease.
Director Zong stood up and looked behind the bookshelf, only to see that there was a white wall behind him, and there was no secret door.
Generally speaking, the kind of elaborate mechanism secret passage in martial arts is difficult to encounter now. In ancient times, even if it was the tomb of an emperor, the mechanism that could be designed was actually very limited, and there was basically no such thing as accidentally touching a button and then flying ten thousand arrows through the heart.
The reason is very simple, to achieve such a fine level of craftsmanship, it is quite time-consuming and labor-intensive for the ancients, and even if it is designed, it is difficult to install it on the spot, and even if it can be installed successfully, after the passage of tens, hundreds, thousands of years, these organs have long been rusted and unusable.
Therefore, in the tombs of ancient emperors, at most, some rolling stones, quicksand, and flaps were used, and compared with the mechanisms, the harmful gases accumulated in the tombs were more deadly.
Even now, it is not easy to design out the mechanism, first of all, it is difficult to achieve it with mechanical strength alone, it is necessary to need electrical energy, if you pull electricity, wiring, decoration, decoration, then you need a bunch of designers, bricklayers, electricians, mechanics, lathes and decorators, after completing this set of projects, the so-called secret is no longer a secret.
Therefore, the so-called mechanism is at most a secret door.
In order to make the secret door secret, it is generally pasted with bells and whistles wallpaper on the wall, or pasted with regular tiles, and finally relies on people's illusion of the texture to cover up the existence of the secret door.
However, the white wall is the most difficult background to hide the secret door.
The head of the sect simply pulled open the bookshelf, he pasted it on the white wall and groped for a long time, and found that there was really nothing there.
But just as he was groping for the white wall, he suddenly heard a movement outside.
Bang Dang β
It seemed to be the sound of something tipping over in another room. The head of the sect rushed out of the bookshelf and rushed into the small room. He saw Xiao Zhang standing there, with an enamel tea jar with paint peeling off at his feet.
"You knocked it down?" Director Zong asked.
"It's not." Xiao Zhang waved his hand and pointed to the side door behind him, "I also heard the voice and ran in." β
"But what about people? I knocked over things, but the people were gone, and there were no cats and dogs in this house, right? β
"No, not only are there no cats or dogs, but even flies and mosquitoes don't fly in." Xiao Zhang sighed.
As soon as Xiao Zhang said this, Director Zong realized this problem. It is summer now, Niangniang Temple is located in the mountains, there are many gnats, just now they entered the temple gate, when they went to the main hall, they also saw flies flying, but the temple was clean and clean, not even a small flying insect was seen.
What a fucking weird place!
Director Zong picked up the enamel jar and was about to check it, when he suddenly heard another creak in the room of the bookshelf. He immediately gave Xiao Zhang a look, and the two of them tiptoed towards the house.
Xiao Zhang pushed open the door of the house, he didn't do anything, but the director of the sect looked stupid - that bookshelf was moved back to its original place at some point! But the house was still empty, and there was no one.
This can completely anger the sect chief!
He rushed over, pulled the bookshelf open, and rummaged through it, and Xiao Zhang, under his command, touched the wall behind the bookshelf inch by inch.
The process was different, but the result was the same - they found nothing, and there was no one in the house. Thinking of the people who had commanded the entire police station to turn over the Niangniang Temple before, the director of the sect suddenly lost his morale.
But what about Lu Yufang? Why is he nowhere to be seen? Could it be that Niangniang Temple is that kind of space-time enchantment, and anyone who enters the temple will be removed by Qiankun?
That's not right, then why didn't he and Xiaozhang move?
When the two of them were in doubt, there was a sound of cars outside, and the head of the sect looked out the window and saw five police officers rushing in from the temple gate. He shouted at his subordinates, and several people ran into the temple.
The head of the sect breathed a sigh of relief.
- It's really not moving, at least he's still in the same "enchantment" as his colleagues.
Without further ado, Director Zong decided to work on the spot, and the office was located in the Cheng Templeβhe thought to himself, isn't there a ghost in this house? Lao Tzu is sitting on the ground and nailed here today, to see where you can go!
The first is to let the police check and confirm the staff in the Niangniang Temple, in addition to Huang Fengdeng, Wu Dabao, and that Rui Dongman, as well as Xiao Yuanjun, who only hears his name and does not see his person, there are many volunteers in Niangniang Temple, plus the construction team that is building a house behind, there should be a lot of people, he first needs to confirm where these people are now, whether they are home.
The second is to find Lu Yufang's car. Lu Yufang is gone, and the car is gone, did he find a clue and drive somewhere else? Director Zong asked the police officers to contact the traffic team, report Lao Lu's license plate number, and find them one by one from the surveillance.
As for the third, that is to turn over the Niangniang Temple again, and the focus is on the temple that is the most suspicious.
Of course, there is a fourth, that is, to call the city criminal investigation team, after all, this is the case that Deputy Captain Lin personally inquired about last time, and now there is a big problem here, so naturally I can't help but report it in time.
When Lin Ying took Yu Yiqing and Shi Chong to Niangniang Temple, Director Zong had basically completed the first two tasks.
In addition to the four people who were borne, there were a total of nine volunteers at Niangniang Temple, and their families all confirmed that these nine people did not go back, and they did not tell their families anything unusual.
"Recently, the signal in Niangniang Temple has not been good, and they all come out of the temple gate to make calls." One of the volunteers' mother said, "This morning, he helped the temple to buy vegetables in the village below the mountain, and he called me, but I didn't hear anything wrong. β
Another volunteer's wife also confirmed the "cloud travel" account.
"I've heard him say before that Xiao Yuanjun can make people's bodies soar, go to the heavens for a ride, and finally come back. I'm definitely going to Yunyou. β
She didn't look worried at all.
As for the one who built the temple at the foot of the mountain, some people confirmed that it was a team of contractors.
The leader of the contractor team is surnamed Pei, and people call him Boss Pei. Some people say that Boss Pei found Xiao Yuanjun to make a fortune, and he really made a fortune after "watching the lantern and changing his life", and he subcontracted a government project, and he took 90 million yuan in advance alone.
"His engineering team worked for nothing in the temple, saying that he was repaying his vows and not taking a penny from the temple."
But some people also said: "What is it for nothing, he deducted materials, just reselling building materials will hack a lot of money in the temple, the two masters don't understand engineering at all, and they don't care about mundane affairs, and the money donated has been taken away by Boss Pei!" β
There were a total of 16 people in the engineering team working in Niangniang Temple that day, and all of them disappeared - they did not go home, nor did they return to Boss Pei's company.
"Get me Boss Pei!" Lin Ying said to Director Zong.
