Chapter Twenty-Five: Strangeness in the University Town

The chess and card room suddenly suffered a fire that night, and everything in it was burned clean, including the mahjong lamp that should not be extinguished and the newly repaired Buddha statue of the boss's house. The owner of the chess and card room, who slept in the back room, was almost killed by the fire, and when the firefighters struggled to rescue him, they found that the man had inhaled too much smoke, causing serious inhalation injuries to his body.

The so-called inhalation injury in fire refers to the physical damage to the respiratory tract, lungs and other parts caused by harmful substances in heat or smoke. Often, when an inhalation injury occurs in a person, the injured person's body also experiences reactions such as hypoxemia or carbon monoxide poisoning. This type of injury mainly affects the respiratory function of the injured person, including airway damage, pulmonary edema, or severe respiratory failure.

After being rescued, the owner of the chess and card room suffered from severe respiratory failure, and the whole person struggled to recover in the hospital all day long, and his state was worse than death. Until the Thirteen Institute re-investigated these strange disappearances, and when he was investigated as a living party, the state of the chess and card room owner was still terrible. What he said the most was: he shouldn't be greedy for money, he shouldn't let them play so late, the evil legend of "one tube to the West" is destined to kill the four girls.

After turning over these strange and similar disappearance cases at hand, Lin decided to let all the soldiers carry out an investigation in two ways, and a team of people led by him personally went to various universities to search for evidence. The other team, consisting of me and Mu Ruoyan, aimed to find something unusual in the university town. Hearing Lin Suo's decision, Mu Ruoyan and I looked at each other very tacitly, and we could see a eagerness in each other's eyes.

Usually involving the disappearance of adults, if the person concerned voluntarily goes missing, can only be reported by the immediate family, the police of the police station will be recorded, and then you can check the monitoring in the jurisdiction, you can trace the hotel accommodation records in the jurisdiction, if the missing person can not be found locally, considering the problem of insufficient police force, the adult disappearance case will often be shelved after filing. In addition, the female college students in Wudu University Town all disappeared mysteriously during the preparation for the school celebration, and the management also tried their best to suppress the matter.

When many clues and witnesses cannot be recovered, the missing person will disappear without a trace like a sea of water droplets. After the disappearance case, the police handed over the hot potatoes that had no clues to the 13 institutes, and they also hoped that we could use special methods to find the real culprits and find the missing female college students as soon as possible.

Everyone in the thirteen institutes is very aware of their responsibilities, and we also want to find the missing person as soon as possible, with the experience of the last case, Mu Ruoyan and I are still very confident in the special functions we have to investigate the case. We found two women's bicycles and planned to ride them around every corner of the university town, starting from the majestic gate of the university town and slowly riding along the main road inside the gate.

The new university town of Wudu is very large, and in order to be able to observe it carefully inside and out, we set off very early every day to start a day's cycling trip, and then arrived late to finish work and go home. But the hard work didn't seem to be meaningful, and for five days in a row, we and the group led by Lin didn't find anything unusual in the university town. Everyone felt a little discouraged, and they all wondered if they had found the wrong direction to investigate the case.

At this time, Mu Ruoyan and I seemed to notice something different, she first saw a very faint black smoke slowly spreading to the west of the university town, and at the same time, my nose seemed to smell a very subtle smell of blood. Like two mad psychos, the two of us began to ride like crazy and rode straight to the south gate.

Along the way, Mu Ruoyan kept up with the black smoke at all times, her eyes did not blink, her eyes were fixed on the western sky, riding a bicycle was very dangerous, and she almost fell or hit people several times. And I, like a police dog searching for scent with my nose, tried to twitch the wings of my nose, smelling the fleeting smell of blood in the air.

After riding bicycles frantically for forty minutes under the sun, Mu Ruoyan and I finally found the source of the vision, which was a small red western-style building located at the downwind of the university town, that is, near the living area of the South Gate. This small red building has a very ordinary appearance, only three stories high in box, with red brick walls throughout, red wooden doors and windows, and an air conditioner hanging on the outside of each window.

At the gate of the small red building, there is a big sign of "Wudu New University Town Science and Technology Office Management Center". In a very inconspicuous place, there are many people coming in and out of the gate, and the uncle who is in charge of registering the people in and out looks very serious, he wears a pair of black reading glasses, carefully looks at everyone who comes to register, and checks the documents handed to him by the registrant.

The environment around this small red building is very noisy, and it is said that the environment is noisy because the vicinity of the south gate belongs to the living quarters of the faculty and staff of the university town, which is a bit like an urban village in the city. There are small hotels, supermarkets, small cinemas, restaurants, Internet cafes, small restaurants and all kinds of food stalls, whether it is ground sanitation or personnel quality, can only be described by a garbled word, so the security guards at the south gate to check in and out are also in vain.

Although this living area has brought a lot of convenience to the people in the university town, it has also become the most troublesome place for the managers of the university town. The environment that cannot be improved can not be eradicated, just like the small advertisements that can be seen everywhere, and the dog skin plaster lingers to clean up badly, so every time there is a major celebration or leadership inspection in the university town, the managers of the university town can only rely on closing or suspending the operation of the living area in advance to manage it, and you can imagine the chaos in this area.

This small red building that exudes a vision is hidden in this most prosperous and dirty living area. However, as we got closer to it, the strange smell of blood in the air became more and more uncatchable, and I even wondered if I had lost my special powers. Turning her head to look at Mu Ruoyan, her expression was also solemn, and she was still staring at the small building intently.

"If smoke, can you still see those black fogs? Are they still there? I can't smell anything! What kind of institution is in the little red building? I only knew that each university had its own science and technology department, and I never knew that there was also a science and technology management center in the university town! Looking at Mu Ruoyan's expression that was still in a daze, I asked in a low voice, but she didn't seem to hear these words, her expression was still staring at Xiaolou, and the ice cream in front of us had melted a little, but she still remained motionless.
