Chapter 13: The Five Men in the Painting
The county magistrate ran over and said.
"Another one is missing, more than a dozen people didn't look at it, the boy named Cheng Xiaowei is missing, I don't know how he disappeared."
"Take the other three people out of here and go back immediately."
After I finished speaking, I looked at Zheng Wei. Zheng Wei frowned tightly, just that wrinkle could squeeze a fly to death.
"Do it right away."
Zheng Wei pulled me into the tent.
"We're still buddies, aren't we?"
"I don't think you will be the mayor of the city, let alone the secretary of the municipal party committee now."
"I've never thought so, I'm in the rivers and lakes and I can't help myself."
"I don't want to hear too much explanation from you, I can only try my best to save people, and I hope you don't mess around, that won't benefit anyone."
Zheng Wei was very angry, the purpose of his coming was these five eighteen or nineteen-year-old children, which had caused a great sensation, and Cheng Xiaowei's disappearance was instantly spread to the Internet, although it was controlled, but I don't know who passed it on.
The leader of the expert group came to me and wanted to enter Tuji City, but I ignored him.
I was talking to him.
"What is the reason for recruiting the five of them? There must be some reason for this, it's weird. ”
"Yes, I don't know what the reason is, the only thing we can do now, we have to enter Tuye City, where to find the reason, if Cheng Xiaowei's appearance is also in that painting, this will explain the problem."
I went down again the next day, and after going down, I went directly into that room, and sure enough, Cheng Xiaowei was on the right side, smiling.
When we came out, I looked at my phone, and the Weibo was constantly being updated, and the other three people had returned to the city, and it looked like that suddenly, a photo came up.
"No, look."
I didn't look at the photo and said.
"That's right, it was the five of them who took it together, I'm afraid this trick will bring these five people together."
I called Guo Zixiao.
"When you go back to the city, you immediately contact those three people and ask them where the photos on Weibo were taken, when and where they were taken."
I think, maybe it should have something to do with it, looking at their backs, it seems to be in some big depth, of course it won't be here, they won't go so far, you can see it by looking at the state.
Guo Zixiao called me and said.
"It was taken in the West Mountain, and they were washed out later, one for each person, and it was written on the back, we are going to Tuji City in the fairy tale, and each one was written, and the five of them were together from elementary school to high school, and it was a coincidence that their relationship has always been very good, and they all have a common hobby, which is exploration."
Go to the fairy tale Tuji City, this is really, if it is because of these words, attracted by some kind of power of Tuji City? I do not know.
That hateful expert, who owes too much, has caused so many things to come out.
"We're waiting here, I think, the rest of the three will come and see, wherever they are."
Sure enough, the next day, Zhaohua'er came in alone, and Zheng Wei called me.
"Zhaode, you want to find a way to get people out, I promise you any conditions."
"No, I'll do my best."
I hung up the phone, what I didn't expect was that it was already messed up, Ma Jin looked at the witch line and didn't let others in, but Ma Jin was controlled, and the group of twelve people, as well as the county magistrate, came in with five policemen.
When we saw him, we were taken aback, they would not destroy this Tuji City, but it was too dangerous here, and it was hard to say whether they could get out or not.
The county magistrate came over, and a policeman asked me.
"What about the three children?"
"We pointed to the room, and they went in, and came out in a moment."
"That's just a painting."
"Yes, they're in the painting."
When I said this, the county magistrate didn't believe it, and the police didn't believe it, and the twelve experts didn't care about it, so they went around and started their archaeological work.
I sat there with him, and since the police came, the police would deal with it.
We wanted to go back, but the county magistrate said.
"Zhaode, I've been resisting me, you should cooperate with the police."
"I'm useless here, I can't figure out a way."
I didn't want to leave with me, but I just waited for the picture to be complete.
I didn't go to see the picture together, but there was only one person left, and there was still no reaction.
The county magistrate also knew that there were fewer people with him, and in such a big Tuji city, he called a hundred policemen again, which would make a big fuss, and they went to the city to look for it.
The magistrate ordered them to assemble here after dark, and the tents were all set up, and they did not dare to go into their rooms.
Then, when it was dark, not a single expert, not a single policeman came back, and the collective disappeared, the county magistrate called some people, and the mobile phone only rang, no one answered, and the county magistrate was furious.
"What's the situation?"
"We don't know about this, I said it, don't let you in, I haven't figured it out here yet."
"Weird."
"Yes, the ancient city of more than 2,000 years is a little weird, and it's normal."
"Zhaode, I order, find all these people."
"your eight eggs."
The county magistrate was about to do something, and I stood up with Wuhe, so he jumped aside, and he reported to Zheng Wei, and Zheng Wei called you.
"Dezi, so many people are missing at once, you have to find a way."
"I told you in advance, don't come in, don't listen, then I can't help it, now we don't dare to go to the city, they went in, what happened, I don't know, that's more than a hundred people."
"Dezi, help me again, if this thing happens like this this time, it will be a dereliction of duty."
"Of course, that's human life, and I can help it."
I and I got up and went into the city, and they opened all the doors that could be opened, and we went to the middle of the city, and there were, and the back doors were not opened, and they searched here.
I looked at it with him, and he suddenly pointed to the north and said.
"Look at that door, it's more open than the others, maybe it's their last stop."
The county magistrate has been following behind us, but he doesn't go forward, and he also knows that the missing person is probably not so simple.
"You stand here, if there is something, I will call you, if you are not told not to go in, if I don't come out for more than twenty minutes, something is wrong, you should not go in again."
I didn't want to go in, I didn't let him in.
The door was indeed very large, and I went in, one by one, and half a meter from the other, what are these lattice walls for? How did you divide the rooms like this?
Go inside, go around to the back, there is a large courtyard, and behind the yard is the house, the house is very strange, square and triangular.
The window was blocked by a curtain inside, and it was a straw curtain, so you couldn't see what was inside.
I leaned over slowly, looked inside, and all I could see was a shadow moving, were they here?
I couldn't see what the shadow was.
I pulled the door, and it opened, and when I went in, I turned on the flashlight, and I was shocked, it was a coffin house, a small house, people could go in, but if you went in, you had to sit there.
I opened one, a policeman was inside, I was shocked, the policeman closed his eyes tightly, there was no response, it seemed that something was wrong, there was a policeman in every coffin, there were more than a hundred in total, the expert didn't see it.
I came out and told me what was going on.
"You should recite them one by one."
After the county magistrate finished speaking, I went up and kicked it.
"Get out."
The county magistrate didn't dare to make a move, and pointed at me.
"Wait for you to get out, Zhaode, I'll make you cry and beg me."
"Get out."
I didn't say it.
"The coffin house was originally locked up for the living, and it was kept until death, just like a punishment, it was also called a living coffin house, and you couldn't get out if you went in, I didn't expect that there really was such a coffin house in Tuji City, it was terrible."
"Is there a way?"
"Take your time, find the twelve."
As we headed east, I said.
"I saw a shadow behind the curtain, but when I went in, there was nothing."
"Whatever those."
To the east was a small four-story building, and twelve experts were waving at us on the fourth floor, smiling and enthusiastic.
"That's an illusion, don't go in, they're under control, this Tuji City can't be entered by outsiders."
I went back to our original position and sat down.
"Ma Jin sent some food down, anyway, it's out of control."
I called Ma Jin.
"I'm sorry master, I didn't keep it, they ...... me"
"Don't talk about it, tomorrow at noon, carry things down, eat and drink."
I don't know how many days I'm going to be here, I don't know. In the evening, we went into Zhaohua'er's room again, and sure enough, there were five of them, and they were all smiling, just like in the photo.
I looked at each other, and suddenly I saw that something was wrong.
"No, do you see it, the photos of these five people, the location is different, Bai Xiaohua should be in the middle, and now it is next to it, what does this mean?"
"I don't know yet, wait a little longer, maybe there will be more clues."
We came out, and the county magistrate sat there smoking, glaring at us.
Now we can only rely on time, waiting for something to happen again, and now we don't dare to walk around.
I thought of Yan Su, and he reminded me that it seemed that there was some research on Tuji City.
I called Yan Su and told me about the situation here.
"I saw Weibo, and I guessed the general situation, the only thing you can do is wait, and something will happen later."
"You seem to know something about Tugi City."
"Not much, I'll tell you if I know there's a way."
I closed my eyes, and I just felt weird, something like this happened, where did I find a breakthrough?
The next day, Ma Jin came in with something on his back, and while I was eating with him, the county magistrate came over.
"I'm hungry too."
He sat down to eat, and we ignored him.
"Master, these people are so hateful, they tied me up, I came in, listened to them, and sent someone down."
Nobody spoke, just ate, just drank.
In the middle of the night, there was movement, I woke up, got out of the tent, I saw a figure, especially like Bai Xiaohua, I followed closely, when I was about to catch up, the shadow in front of me stopped, I almost didn't chase the tail, the shadow turned back violently, I screamed, it was Bai Xiaohua, she smiled at me, and got into a room, I didn't follow up, it was too weird, too strange.
I entered the painting room, Bai Xiaohua is no longer in the painting, I was shocked, it seems that things are coming, Bai Xiaohua is luring me to where to go?
It was Bai Xiaohua who lured me over, did she save her? Or is it the strange power of Tuji City that allows Bai Xiaohua to lure me over and then kill me?
My legs were shaking, and I screamed at the no-hop and said it.
"When we go to that room at dawn, I feel that this is the mysterious power of Tuji City controlling these five people, I'm afraid that trouble will come, maybe we won't be able to escape."
I went back to sleep, and I didn't wake up until the sun came up, and I was afraid it wasn't a hurry.
Ma Jin carried a large bag, and there was his witch tool, which he always did. We went to the room where Bai Xiaohua entered yesterday, and as soon as we arrived at the door, we heard crying.
