Chapter 19: Plotting
After the initial panic, Ye Yu stopped. He no longer blindly wandered around the alleys, and began to calm his mind and quietly organize his thoughts.
Judging from the current situation, I am trapped in this uninhabited bungalow area for unknown reasons. Ye Yu doesn't really believe in the so-called "ghost hitting the wall", from a scientific point of view, the only possibility that someone can't get out is that someone has set up some mechanism in this area, after he enters by mistake, if he doesn't see through the other party's methods, he will repeatedly go back to the starting point like a maze and can't get out. However, considering the huge area of this area, and it is in the urban area, the most direct way to crack it is to go out according to the mobile phone satellite navigation map, but unfortunately it seems that any signal is blocked here.
Ye Yu looked down at his watch, at 10:15 in the evening, according to the time when he walked out of the downtown area and his own pace, this place should still belong to the city center, but unfortunately due to the dense buildings in this western-style housing area, Ye Yu did not see any iconic high-rise buildings in the field of vision, so he could not infer the specific direction.
Since there is no high-rise building to refer to to position itself, and there is no network signal on the mobile phone, how can you go out? Ye Yu pondered.
Then again, if someone really goes to great lengths to lure themselves over and set up mechanisms to keep them from getting out, then what is his purpose?
Ye Yu turned to look at the half-painted bungalow in front of him. Under the gloomy night, the half-missing iron gate of the garden swayed in the breeze, making a "creaking" sound, and a dilapidated atmosphere permeated the surroundings. The windows without window frames on the wall seemed to be a pair of empty eyes staring at him, which made Ye Yu feel a little hairy.
The end of all the alleys is this house, could it be that the mechanism to crack the "ghost hitting the wall" is hidden in it?
Ye Yu took two steps back, raised his head to look up at the three-story bungalow, and suddenly found that there was an open-air balcony on the roof.
If you can go up to the balcony, you should be able to see a large area of the neighborhood from this height, and you may be able to spot some mechanism...... If it still doesn't work, then there is only one way left. Ye Yu subconsciously touched the metal bracelet on his wrist, and the emergency button on it was the last way to get out of trouble.
After taking a deep breath, Ye Yu cautiously walked through the crumbling iron gate of the garden, walked to the front door of the house, and tried to push it.
"Squeak-" With a sound, the door opened, and it didn't seem to be locked, and the dust that filled it made Ye Yu cough.
Ye Yu turned on the light on the bracelet, covered his mouth and nose, and probed a little into the door. I saw that the internal space of the house is not small, there are some construction waste scattered at the door, and the house is not decorated, it is completely in a rough state.
Ye Yu kicked away the garbage at his feet and walked inside, the vicinity of the entrance was empty and unobstructed, and then it was dark inside, and it was not real.
It seems to have been abandoned for a long time. Ye Yu thought, turned around and forcefully pulled the door open, so that the outside light could penetrate the room, and at the same time erected a large stone at the bottom of the door to prevent the wind from bringing the door up. After getting ready, Ye Yu tiptoed into the house, looking for the ladder leading upstairs with the help of the bracelet lamp.
Although the area of this bungalow is quite large, the structure is very simple, and after taking a few steps, Ye Yu soon found that there is a spiraling cement staircase on the right wall in the center of the first floor, which seems to lead to the upper floor.
Ye Yu walked over, stretched out his foot and stepped on it hard, the stairs were very stable; Then he stood at the bottom of the staircase and looked up, and saw that the staircase seemed to lead directly to the roof balcony.
Let's go up and have a look. Ye Yu immediately adjusted the brightness of the searchlight on the bracelet, raised his head and cautiously stepped on the cement stairs to the balcony.
In the darkness, a figure quietly loomed from the corner, staring at Ye Yu's back gloomily, grinning silently, and Ye Yu was unaware of it at this moment.
Ye Yu walked along the stairs to the second and third floors, and like the ground floor, there were all unrenovated blanks here, and there was no movement in the pitch black, Ye Yu didn't plan to explore every floor, so he skipped it and went straight to the balcony.
Pushing open the iron door on the roof of the building, a small open-air balcony was displayed in front of Ye Yu. This balcony seems to have only been half built, not even a guardrail, the north wind at night is howling violently, it seems to be able to blow people down, Ye Yu did not dare to approach the edge of the balcony, he could only stand in the center and look at the alley area directly opposite.
The view here is really good, you can look down on several nearby alleys, but unfortunately due to poor lighting, the trend of each alley is not very clear.
After carefully observing for a long time, Ye Yu still didn't find anything, and the alley under the clouds at night seemed to be shrouded in a layer of black fog, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
Still can't help it? Ye Yu shook his head helplessly, it seemed that he could only take the last resort - to find Lou Yue for help.
The moon slowly poked its head out of the clouds, shining a silvery white moonlight down. Ye Yu, who had just pressed the emergency button, was about to turn around and leave, when he suddenly inadvertently caught a glimpse of an alley in the distance that seemed to fluctuate strangely.
Well? Are you dazzled?
Ye Yu, who was puzzled, took a step forward, called up a virtual screen from the bracelet, and began to zoom in on the alley he saw just now. Under the light of the moon, the alley in the distance gradually unveiled the black fog that shrouded it, and the stone wall reflected a silvery white color, and strangely, there seemed to be a certain section of the stone wall that was completely unreflected, and vaguely showed a strange distortion.
"That's ...... Holographic projection!? ”
Ye Yu suddenly realized.
"I see...... The so-called 'ghost hitting the wall' is just a simple trap of light and shadow. ”
This is a common magic trick, these alleys actually have multiple entrances and exits, and they are interconnected, but some people use the tortuous environment of the lanes, and use holographic projections to cover up near other entrances and exits, projecting the appearance of the wall, which can not be seen at all in the dim environment, and the people in the alley can only unconsciously follow the designer's specific route repeatedly in circles. However, this kind of holographic projection is easy to fluctuate due to electromagnetic signal interference, and after all, it is a virtual image, which cannot have physical reflection characteristics like real objects, so it is flawed.
Ye Yu couldn't help but get excited, although he didn't know who arranged this prank with great fanfare, but now that he knew the principle, he could easily crack it. So he quickly turned around and walked down the stairs and went straight to the first floor.
However, as soon as he reached the ground floor, he immediately noticed that something was wrong - it was pitch black inside, and the door was closed at some point.
Ye Yu suddenly felt bad, and hurriedly rushed to the door and pushed and pulled it a few times, but the door seemed to be firmly locked and did not move.
Oops, plotted!
Ye Yu's heart beat wildly, could it be that he was not alone in this house?
----------------------
"The current situation is not optimistic." Sister Mu looked at the black-clothed young man in front of her with a serious expression. "The occupant killed in the explosion of Li Li's apartment a week ago has been confirmed to be Li Li herself, and the source of the explosion is located in Li Li's bedroom. We used technical means to restore the scene, and based on the location of the explosion and the victim's situation, it was inferred that Li Li was holding the mobile phone with the bomb in her hand at the time. ”
"So, she was on the phone?" The young man in black put down the document in his hand and looked up at Sister Mu, a keen light flashed in his dark eyes. "Have you checked Li Li's call records at that time?"
"I checked it, but there was no record. Li Li has only one number in her name, and the fragments of her mobile phone were also found at the scene, judging from the extent of the damage, the bomb should not have been placed in her own mobile phone. We speculate that she was using another secret mobile phone to make a call, and it was not her own number, which was quite difficult to trace. ”
"Is it possible that she's using her phone to surf the internet and not on the phone? Can you find out the model of the mobile phone where the bomb was planted from the debris at the scene? The young man in black continued to ask.
"Inferred from the fragmented material, it seems to be an old-fashioned mobile phone that has long been eliminated on the market, and this kind of mobile phone can no longer support any network segment and can only make phone calls. We have contacted a number of mobile phone manufacturers to check the specific model, and it will take some time to get the results. ”
"In addition, we also investigated the car that photographed the windbreaker man entering the bus shelter, but the answer was unexpected." Sister Mu paused, "The car is **, and the person who contacted the police by phone and sent the videotape at that time was not the real owner himself, the owner was not in the country some time ago and the mobile phone was stolen, it should be done by the real murderer, the purpose is to confuse our eyes and focus the suspicion on Jin Biao." ”
"In this way, the clues have been cut off......" The young man in black held his chin and muttered.
Sister Mu was silent for a while, as if she was thinking about something, and then slowly spoke, "A miniature bomb that can be placed in a mobile phone...... And it has such power, this is no longer something that ordinary people can do, judging from the style of this series of events, I'm afraid ...... It's they who are back in the world. ”
"Hmph, good, they finally can't hold it back." The black-clothed young man clenched his fists secretly, and his white and delicate face swept over a trace of hideousness. "This time, none of them can run."
"Mu Yun, investigate all of Li Li's social relationships, especially whether she has a secret lover or other close contacts." In just a moment, the expression of the young man in black regained his composure and began to give orders. "In addition, check all the numbers with communication records in the area where Li Li's apartment is located during the incident, and each number owner must confirm it, although it is not certain whether Li Li was really talking at that time, but this may also be an important clue."
As he was talking, the young man in black's mobile phone vibrate, and Xiao Yan's name danced on it.
"Director, there is a situation." The voice on the other end of the line was slightly agitated.
Lou Yue listened to Xiao Yan's report, and her brows gradually furrowed.
"Confirm his location immediately, send the nearest person over, and I'll rush over immediately." Lou Yue hung up the phone, and quickly got up and walked to the door of the office.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Lou Yue's reaction, Sister Mu hurriedly asked.
"Our 'amateur investigator' seems to be in some trouble." Lou Yue said without looking back, "I'll go out for a while, your side will continue to investigate, and notify me in time if there is an update." With that, he opened the office door and left in a hurry.
