Chapter 36: Strange Events
......
After sending the prize money to Yu Xiaoxian, Officer Zhou drove the Doudou family back to their home. He was standing at the town captain's desk and saying something.
"Town team, I have already handed over the prize money to Mr. Yu, and I have left two brothers near his house just in case," Officer Zhou said.
"Well, that's good!, is there anything unusual over there these days?", the town captain asked, without looking up, looking at the document in his hand.
"It's abnormal, I can't say it, but it's really weird!" Officer Zhou said with a strange look on his face.
Hearing this, the town captain looked up at the officer surnamed Zhou: "What's wrong?"
"Didn't Mr. Yu say that his mother was missing, and his mother had already returned when I went today," Officer Zhou said.
"Oh, wouldn't it be nice to be back, what's so strange?" said the town captain disapprovingly.
"Hehe, listen to me, Mr. Yu and his mother seem to be suffering from some disease, but instead of going to the hospital, they invited a Taoist priest to come back, do you think it's strange?" Officer Zhou chuckled and said mysteriously.
"Daoist, I didn't expect that young man surnamed Yu to be so superstitious, it seems that he shouldn't have any problems, the team has not had enough manpower recently, let the brother who protected him come back first! The detection data of the explosion scene in the north of the city has come out, you can take a look", said the town captain and handed the document in his hand to Officer Zhou in front of him.
Officer Zhou sighed, then took the document and looked at it, but after looking at a few lines, his face suddenly became extremely difficult to see, 'There are no obvious burn marks in the explosion site, the surrounding environment is full of atomic activity, it is suspected of a small-scale nuclear explosion, and no radiation risk has been found'.
"What does this mean? Nuclear weapons without radiation?", Officer Zhou looked at Captain Zhen in surprise.
"It means that the technical department can't find the cause of the explosion, and the current technology doesn't seem to be able to do it to this extent, right?"
"Well, it's ......", Officer Zhou was about to say something, but was interrupted by a sudden voice behind him.
"Town, town, ...... something," a young police officer shouted as he ran and rushed into the town captain's office.
"What's the matter, panicked, and a bit of a policeman!?", said the town captain with a little dissatisfaction.
The man ignored the reproach of the town captain, and said with a sigh: "Something is wrong, we, two days ago, Zhang Laosan, who was arrested, and his accomplices, are missing!"
"What? Aren't they in the detention center? Did they let them run away?", the captain of the town was startled and stood up from his seat in a daze.
"It's not the escape, it's the few of them, in the room of the detention center, gone!" the young officer said with a strange expression.
"Let's go, I'll go over and have a look," the town captain picked up his hat from the table and beckoned to the two people around him, and ran out of the office quickly.
.......
In the Tianqing City Detention Center, there are a total of 10 rooms for temporarily detaining criminal suspects, all of which are arranged on the first floor, the rooms are about 15 square meters, and the walls of each room are made of concrete, and there is only an iron door for people to enter and exit, and a lighting window sealed by steel bars.
"This is the room where they were held before?" Captain Zhen asked, crouching in an empty room, looking at the red blood stains on the ground and the uniformed man standing behind him.
"Yes, town officer, after receiving a call from your side this morning, I temporarily locked them in separate rooms to deal with other problems in order to facilitate management, and after about twenty minutes, they disappeared mysteriously......", the man said with a pale face about what happened here.
"Was there anyone in the other rooms at the time?" asked Captain Town.
"There was only one person in the next room, and the man said that he only heard someone scream, and then there was a sound like a mouse gnawing something, and there was no other movement," the man said, his face becoming more and more ugly.
"Have you seen the surveillance, is there anything abnormal?", the town captain reached out and picked up a few slender stiff hairs about two or three centimeters long from the ground, looked up at the camera installed in the corner of the room, and asked.
"I don't know what broke the surveillance lines in the four rooms, and only one machine captured a black shadow... And then the men were gone...", and the man's voice trembled as if he thought of something terrible.
"Take me to see it," the town captain said, glancing at the man.
The man quickly withdrew from the room and walked towards the monitoring room with the town captain.
"This is the last shot taken by the surveillance," the policeman carefully put on the footage taken by the surveillance.
I saw that the picture was the third child, who was handcuffed behind his back and squatted quietly facing the wall in front of the surveillance.
Suddenly, a pitch-black shadow appeared in the corner of the screen behind him like flowing water, and the signal was lost immediately after the surveillance.
"Didn't the people in the monitoring room notice anything unusual at that time?" the town captain frowned slightly and looked at the policeman just now.
"In the morning, he noticed two rats scurrying around in the surveillance room, and they were catching rats ......," the policeman said vaguely.
"Zoom in on the moment the shadow appears," the town captain said thoughtfully to the man.
"Okay," the man said, trying to zoom in on the monitor.
As the image zoomed in, the dark shadow grew larger, but it also became blurry. There seemed to be a few dark red points of light on the faintly black thing, which were arranged at the front of the black shadow according to a certain pattern, which was particularly eye-catching.
"One, two, three, four, ......", the town captain silently counted the number of light spots, and then quickly ran to the room where Zhang Laosan was held before, and before the other people could react, he had already squatted on the ground again and looked for something carefully.
A few minutes later, Officer Zhou and the police officer from the detention center also came outside the door.
At this time, the town captain was now in the room, looking at something in the corner with a cloudy face.
"Town team, what did you find?", Officer Zhou also looked curiously at that corner.
"There's a hole here, and it's a blind spot for surveillance!", said the town captain, pointing to a corner of the ground with an ugly face.
Officer Zhou and the detention center policeman were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly leaned down to look there, only to see that the ground was thicker than the dust from a distance, and there was nothing unusual about it.
But when the two of them squatted down and gently brushed away the dust with their hands, they found that the concrete floor had been destroyed by something, forming a circular hole about four or five centimeters in diameter, which was filled with gray cement debris, and it was almost impossible to find the strange thing without careful observation.
The two looked at each other in shock, and then turned their heads to look at the town captain at the same time, knowing that the person in front of them would definitely be able to clear the doubts in their hearts.
Sure enough, after taking a deep breath, the town captain said what he thought in his heart: "Please go to the same position in the other three rooms to have a look, if I guess correctly, these rooms should be the same situation."
When Officer Zhou heard this, he quickly split up and ran to other rooms, and soon the two went back to the room where the town police officer was.
At this time, the town police officer was standing on a chair that had been brought from nowhere, carefully observing the disconnected line of the camera.
Seeing Officer Zhou and the two coming, the town captain jumped out of his chair and looked at them: "How is it?
Officer Zhou and the others nodded at the same time.
"Well, sure enough, I just looked here, this signal line was obviously bitten by some kind of rodent, plus the rats in the monitoring room, and the holes in every room here, I don't think it's a coincidence", the town captain froze, pointed to the broken signal line, and said his guess.
Hearing this, Officer Zhou and the two nodded in agreement, but after a while, Officer Zhou shook his head and said: "Town team, according to what you mean, it is indeed very likely that the rats bite off the surveillance and then go to the monitoring room to make trouble, and at the same time make holes into these rooms and bite these people to death and eat them all, judging from this information, it seems to make sense." ”
Officer Zhou paused and continued: "However, let's not talk about whether the rats can make holes in such a solid cement floor, in a short period of time, a person will eat not even the bones, and they will refill the holes by themselves, which is also too exaggerated, so how many rats do you need to do it?! Is this possible?
When it came to the end, Officer Zhou couldn't help but feel a little creepy, and shivered unconsciously.
