Crawling and walking will wait until the evening, and his body is afraid of freezing his knees and ankles, and Xu Yunge doesn't dare to do more.

Investigating all kinds of cases is a highly brain-burning thing. If they can be solved smoothly, the relevant departments will not pile up more and more unsolved cases.

Now the problem is that there are traces of cursed power and terrifying legends, as well as the curse reaction that suddenly appeared inexplicably. So much so that Xu Yunge had to spend a lot of time and energy to sort out his thoughts again in order to confirm where there were missing parts.

First, make a list of the victims. Wang Baozhi and Hu Xiaoyu had an accident in the mountains behind Hanwu University, and they were victims of the curse, and according to various clues and signs, this possibility is very high.

Second, make a list of suspects. Xu Yunge has seen a small number of cursed people in the horror urban legends, Tao Shuifang, a ghost fetus pregnant woman, has already been hammered, and the other members are suspected of using the Hu family's parents to do evil to complete the task.

The protagonist of the horror legend is currently free and has a key role in the case, and only Wang Baozhi is the one who plays a key role in the case. It's not surprising that they'll do something to her, trying to induce more evil.

Listing the power camps, Xu Yunge and the others are cursed people, because of the curse, outsiders who are distributed all over the world. Taiping Town itself has a terrifying legend that has not yet awakened, and it is tacitly believed that there are evil spirits in this place, and a small number of strange infrastructure and local habits are problematic.

Next is the motive for the crime and the curse mechanism, Wang Baozhi, as the core figure of the incident, her first initiative was to get lost on the mountain near Taiping Town.

Before and after the incident, Xu Yunge, who helped Wang Baozhi, encountered a ghost in Houshan Cultural Park, and Dou Xinwei, who helped Wang Baozhi, lost Dahei, and even he was almost involved. Her sister looked for the dog and disappeared, possibly because Dou Xinwei helped Wang Baozhi and cursed the chain reaction of the attempted murder.

Now the suspicion is that other cursed people, such as the masked man Huang Buyi, who is very suspicious and tried to kidnap Wang Baozhi. In addition, there is a middle-aged man who suddenly appeared in Taiping Town through the ghost market and can manipulate ghosts to hurt people, and another young man who can perform black mist teleportation.

If Wang Baozhi is the core figure of the incident, they contact Wang Baozhi and have different thoughts about Wang Baozhi, and they should be unified by the feedback of the curse of the event.

But so far, Xu Yunge has attacked a masked man, and he can't be run away by the other party with one blow. The second time was a passive beating, answering a haunted phone call, and being chased all the way to Taiping Town Middle School to find a chance to fight back. After a few moves, the situation of the other cursed people is not clear, and the curse abilities they possess are not very clear.

It is difficult to figure out the standards of behavior of ghosts with the moral standards and behavioral habits of normal people.

To put it simply, Xu Yunge couldn't rely on the information at hand to deduce all the taboo standards to use to pursue advantages and avoid disadvantages.

In addition, what further complicates the matter is that Professor Tang has a pure negative curse on him, and Zhao Wenlan also received strange text messages from unknown sources after contacting the case. If it is tacitly assumed that they are related to Wang Baozhi, they immediately incur curses or abnormal phenomena, why are the Hu family's parents and others okay?

"Only by acquiescing to Hu Xiaoyu's terrifying legend and having the ability to resist the terrifying legend of Taiping Town can we explain why some people are fine, and some people will be cursed to come to the door once they interfere."

"I have been in contact with Wang Baozhi, regardless of the severity of the trigger, and there is no known abnormality so far, only Dr. Zhu. Lao Li and others participated in the search for the disappearance of the well a few years ago, and I don't know if they have been in contact, but they didn't think about it over there. ”

Xu Yunge remembered the first time she met Zhu Yuxia, she gave people a very special feeling, not only did she not have the soft and warm aura of an ordinary doctor, but she acted in a straightforward and tough style, quite like an agent.

"If it's the same source of the curse, then Dr. Zhu may have some personal problems, and there is no reason why she should not be affected by the curse. She has been staying by Wang Baozhi's side, and there are a lot of operational control parts, if she uses Wang Baozhi to stuff me with false information, I can't identify it. ”

"If not, then the logic of speculation cannot be established, and the curse of random attacks cannot be prevented. The best way to prevent trouble is to stop and track it out of the local area. ”

"If Wang Baozhi can really remember everything, what she and Hu Xiaoyu experienced at the beginning, and what they know about the terrifying legends of Taiping Town, my accumulated odds of winning will be greatly increased. It's like knowing the ghosts' routines in advance, and with a defensive mentality, it is difficult to inadvertently trigger taboos. ”

"Removing the inconsequential little questions, the question now is whether what Wang Baozhi and Hu Xiaoyu did in the past is related to the terrifying legends of Taiping Town. Is there a connection between the disappearance of the abandoned juice factory and the water well? ”

Xu Yunge wrote on the paper: Dou Xinwei, Dou Xiantong (ex-husband, came home unexpectedly), Dou Mengyao (missing), Big Black Dog (suspected of dying from the disaster, currently missing), Dou's mother (sick).

Then he drew another line: Tao Shuifang (human trafficking, arrested), Huang Buyi (suspected of threatening kidnapping, at large), and 2 cursed members (who have come to Taiping Town).

The characters who appeared in the last horror urban legends, including the Hu family's parents, have basically settled down so far. There are not many people Xu Yunge can investigate, and Wang Baozhi is the only important witness.

"Coincidentally, Wang Baozhi not only knew about the disappearance of the well, but I also found a note coin on her bed, and the token she was rewarded with was a wishing coin. Is this to some extent, that she and Hu Xiaoyu came into contact with the well to ask for a curse, but then the curse got out of control and turned into a tragedy? ”

"Is Professor Tang's curse related to the well curse? After all, I've wandered around this town and the mountains, and the curse trigger mechanism is very subtle, but I definitely wouldn't get infected for no reason, otherwise I would have jumped around the territory of other horror legends and would have been destroyed a long time ago, and there must be a causal connection here. ”

"Wells, mountain temples, abandoned factories. The matter revolves around the mountains, and even Dou Xinwei's disappearance in the monitoring is also a tragedy that occurred after crossing the boundary monument and suspected of encountering a ghost hitting the wall. ”

Reorganizing his thinking, Xu Yunge separated the task reward clues from the ghost taboo experience. This case is very complicated, his brain capacity and brain hole are no longer enough, if he can't find more insiders, no matter how much he analyzes, it is impossible to find that key clue puzzle.

Therefore, the current operational situations are: taking Wang Baozhi to Taiping Town, first, can seduce other cursed people, and second, can verify their own guesses. But this is extremely risky, and the Wang family's parents may not agree, in case of an accident, they will have to carry the cauldron.

Changed his mind and continued to excavate: investigate the mountain temple and abandoned factories, but one is that there is a ghost market gate in front of the ruins, and the other is suspected to have been haunted, and Dou Xiantong is afraid of the ghosts inside. Xu Yunge's combat power can only be counted as a sneak attack, and in other cases, he can only escape by himself.

It was still early, Xu Yunge called Professor Tang and asked him about the juice factory, but he didn't know about it. Before the accident, as a senior scientific researcher at Hanwu University, he would not be idle to investigate a food processing factory, and the teacher's life was not idle.

When she called Wang Baozhi, she didn't know about it, and she couldn't remember whether she had been to Taiping Town. But she is a local like Xu Yunge, and she remembers the sweet and sour taste of that orange soda.

She is not very clear about the case of the disappearance of the well, and only remembers that she made an attempt.

And when she heard that Xu Yunge had the intention of inviting her to Taiping Town to assist in the investigation, she was very excited, but her physical condition did not allow her to toss around anymore. Wang's parents and Dr. Zhu also politely rejected this possibility after learning some of the details.

"In the end, the only way to call on ordinary people for a safety investigation is to ask someone to find the former employees and leaders of the abandoned juice factory. I'm responsible for breaking down the time, place, and people and re-interrogating them to reduce the loopholes. ”

"Besides, I can take the opportunity to go through all the billboards in town, investigate the origin of the beast-faced statues, and gather some other information. Maybe you can touch a bloody handprint again, which can not only improve the progress of the investigation of the horror legend, but also make some money in preparation. ”

After confirming the investigation plan and clearing up doubts through the exchange of calls, the next action was much more straightforward.

There was no beating around the bush, looking for Lao Li and others to ask for a communication list and asking about the casualties of the local population.

I don't know, I don't know, after this question, when Taiping Town was developing in the early years, many people really died.

I don't know if it was the evil ghosts who killed people, or the safety education knowledge of migrant workers was too weak, in short, there were people who fell to their deaths on the construction site, and drowned while repairing bridges. Accidentally slipping into a concrete pebble mixer and falling into a lime pool or something is not a special case across the country.

Fortunately, he was asked that Dou Xiantong had worked in the mountain temple. Later, there were no more people to worship in the mountain temple, so he went to work in the juice factory, and when his work was gone, he did a lot of chores, and worked everywhere in the commercial development block of Taiping Town, and finally got the funds to bring the capital of the breakfast stall to his family.

After all, with 2 children to raise, and an extra mouth to eat at home, the living expenses are easy to exceed the limit. As the pillar of the family, he has indeed contributed a lot to the family.

But Xu Yunge deliberately asked Dou Xiantong how he made the money, but he was reluctant to say more, and he had a hysterical emotional attack. He also kept silent about the juice factory, only saying that he had not returned to his hometown for many years, but asked for the specific details of his daughter's disappearance.

Because Dou Xiantong has indeed not committed a crime for so many years, he has not even committed petty theft. Now that the abuse of power is being strictly investigated, Lao Li and the others have no right to restrict the freedom of movement of civilians for a long time, and they can't do anything to him if they want to go home and see what they want.

"Little brother, the emotional disputes of other people's families are really troublesome, I once persuaded some quarrelsome boyfriends and girlfriends, young couples with a small couple. I was almost in a good mood after scolding each other, and I couldn't wait to continue scolding me when I turned around. If you're inexperienced, don't mess around. ”

Xu Yunge promised that his own survival was in question, and the lawsuit with his aunt's family had not yet been fought, so he was not in the mood to ask about other people's bitter family affairs. It was only when it came to horror legends that there might be more variables, so he asked Dou Xiantong a few more questions.

"The director who used to run a juice processing plant? In recent years, environmental protection development has been carried out, and industries that are not suitable for them have definitely moved to other places. Don't treat me as a universal number directory line, citizen numbers also belong to personal privacy, what do you contact him for? ”

Xu Yunge casually made up an excuse, saying that he wanted to know what happened back then. The main excuse is to think of some clues and want to investigate the disappearance of the well, whether it is a deliberately fabricated human kidnapping. After all, that case is also very bizarre, and it has not been found for 2 years since it was missing, which is very strange.

"Okay, but don't mess around on the Internet, I'll get someone to contact you later. If they have moved out for so long and your evidence is insufficient, they have the right to refuse to cooperate with the investigation, so don't expect too much. ”

After talking to Lao Li, Xu Yunge set off to investigate the notice board and building layout of Taiping Town. He had to take advantage of the geography so that in the event of a war with the cursed, he couldn't run to the school at the first sign of trouble.

Their methods are not in sight, and their curses are no better.

Time passed, and Dou Xin only made 3 phone calls in the afternoon, wanting to ask Xu Yunge if she had found her sister. Xu Yunge heard a little crying, Dou Xinwei still regretted that she lied to her sister at the beginning, but he had no way to comfort her.

It is almost the nature of children to lose an important family member, to lie subconsciously for fear of responsibility. Living in a family where the relationship is not sound enough and the identity and status of the parents are lacking, what is the point of more scolding?

The point is, paper can't hold the fire. Dou Xinwei's mother is still sick, Dou Xinwei is young and needs to go to school and be taken care of by his family. After a long time, Dou Mengyao's disappearance will sooner or later, and once more people get involved, the trouble will increase exponentially.

"The notice board is made by the relevant departments of the town according to the needs of residents, and even the reservation of advertising and promotion calls is available, how thorough is the commercialization of Taiping Town? I made a phone call to ask about the market, and I talked about advertising investment for half an hour......"

"But there is no way, it is too difficult to develop in a small place with no money and no resources."

"Light industry and heavy industry are not something that can be implemented on paper. If the social resources are too backward, the young population will flee, the young people will not want to come back as soon as they leave, and the old people will disappear as soon as they get old. It's just that I dismantle all cultural customs and go crazy for commercial development, and I always feel that something is missing. ”

Xu Yunge wandered around the commercial street, and there are many successful cases of business circle construction in university towns and film and television entertainment cities in Hanwu City. In case the development value is ideal, the subway is successfully opened, and a large number of new urban population is diverted and settled, then the housing price will really take off directly. The land departments concerned are afraid that their butts will crack with laughter.

It's just that what makes Xu Yunge puzzled is that there is no beast-faced figurine here, only a fountain with a strange shape is carved in the very center of the commercial street.

In the middle of the fountain is not the usual peeing fat child, but a strange snake made of rocks.

Slowly recall: There are such strange snake stone carvings in the 4 corners of the commercial street layout.

Pedestrians and construction workers pass by, occasionally throwing coins inside. The sound of Ding Dong was crisp and pleasant, and the thought of not being able to help but toss coins continuously just to listen to the sound sprung up inexplicably.

When I got closer, I learned that this fountain was brought by workers from other places. I don't even know what the name of the strange snake is, but it is said that it is very effective, and it can bless the workers to be safe and sound without accidents, and the strange-shaped locals did not protest, so it was repaired in the center of the commercial street with the longest development and construction time.

Xu Yunge doesn't have much to talk about about the changes in casual beliefs. If the construction of modern civilization can effectively expel darkness and curse, he does not mind throwing off everything old and running to a new life.

After a light but somewhat expensive meal, it was already approaching dusk.

Xu Yunge returned to Dou Xinwei's house and put 2 towels on his knees. Just as he was about to take off his shoes and try to climb, Dou Xiantong broke in from outside the house, covered in tatters, and fell to his knees with a puff.

"It's all my fault, for the sake of the year, please don't punish them anymore, they really don't know anything! I'll give you whatever you want, just begg, just ask you to give me back my daughter, and I'm willing to bear all the consequences! ”
