The window glass is shattered, and the edges are uneven and somewhat sharp.

In the gaps in the window frames, some fine glass shards can also be seen.

"My lord, I'll go in first." Ding Can volunteered, with a flashlight, and planned to enter this gloomy and inexplicable villa.

"Well, go ahead."

There is no danger inside, whoever comes first and who comes after is the same, Su Xia doesn't care.

He turned his head and looked at the road behind him.

The black sedan was parked on the side of the road, and the security system was turned on, and it would fight back and sound an alarm if it was maliciously touched.

The area is so remote that it's hardly ever visited.

Suki in the car is relatively safe, don't worry.

"Smack!"

Ding Can wrapped his fist in his clothes and smashed the sharp glass on the edge of the window to try to ensure safety.

Then, with a slight leap, he jumped onto the window frame, and then jumped into the first floor of the villa.

He turned on his flashlight and shone it into the depths of the villa.

The light of the flashlight illuminates a large area, but beyond the light it is still pitch black, as if something is hidden, dark and cold, unclear, full of unknowns.

"My lord, it's safe inside." He turned his head and said.

"Okay."

Su Xia also entered the villa, supported the window frame with his hand, and jumped in with a slight turnover.

Upon entering, the musty smell that lingered between the snorts became even more pronounced, as if the whole room had rotted in the shadows.

Darkness and solitude lingered around, and the cold sensation stuck to the skin so uncomfortably that not even the pale light could drive it away.

"Whirring ......"

When the cold wind blew, the white and tattered curtains fluttered, and the wind whimpered strangely, as if something was blowing gently on the face and neck, and the chill hit people.

Ding Can had goosebumps on his neck and shrank unconsciously.

He subconsciously turned on the flashlight to the maximum, and said to Su Xia: "My lord, this should be a bedroom at the back of the villa, do you want to check it?" Or go straight to the basement? ”

"Let's take a look first."

You can't do this kind of thing in a hurry, or you may miss some details.

After Su Xia came in, he had been standing by the window, using the light of a flashlight to observe every area of this room.

The room was messy, which was the first feeling.

It is clear that after the singer's death, the law enforcement authorities searched the entire villa once.

It can be seen that the beds, chairs, wardrobes, etc., in this bedroom, have traces of rummaging.

The mattress had been lifted, the underside of the bed was empty, the skin on the outside of the chair had been cut, the foam sponge inside was scattered all over the floor, the door of the wardrobe was open, and a lot of the clothes inside had been thrown outside.

"Everyone is dead, what are the people from the Enforcement Agency still looking for?" Ding Can looked at the chaos all over the ground, and his heart was full of doubts, and he felt more and more that this singer was indeed not committing suicide.

This bedroom has been rummaged through more than he can imagine.

Beds, wardrobes, and the like are all counted.

To his surprise, even the chandelier and bedside lamp on the ceiling were smashed, broken light bulbs could be seen everywhere, and even the light strips in the corners of the surrounding walls were cut into strips.

To make matters worse, the floors were lifted.

Even people with a habit of pure destruction can't do it to this extent.

"Not even a single intact floor."

Ding Can bent down and reached out to pick up a piece of tattered floor, and he could clearly see the traces of violent destruction on the floor.

There were electric drills and axes, and the people in the Law Enforcement Bureau seemed to be in a hurry at the time, and they did not take conventional measures at all, causing most of the floor to shatter into disshape.

"The wall was also smashed open......"

He held up his flashlight and saw the tattered bedroom wall at a glance.

The exterior wall paint has been almost removed, the patent leather has fallen to the ground, looking very dirty, and the walls have been punched out of large holes, revealing the cement and red bricks inside.

Even the load-bearing columns on the edges were knocked down several times, leaving even the rebar exposed.

Who would have thought this was the bedroom of a famous singer?

The unfinished houses are more complete than this bedroom looks.

Su Xia observed quietly, silently feeling the metal in the entire room, from the steel bars that supported the room, to the steel frame of the bed, to the small wiring and screws, and found nothing special.

At the same time, Ding Can was also rummaging through the things scattered on the ground.

"My lord, nothing." Ding Can said to Su Xia, "Even if there is really something, it should be taken away by those people in the Law Enforcement Bureau." ”

"Well, let's go to another room."

There is more than one bedroom in the villa, with three more on the first floor and two more on the second floor and a simple layout.

In addition, there are study rooms, music rooms, tea rooms, etc., which are almost standard for regular villas in Seahorse City.

The two of them inspected every room on the first and second floors.

They held flashlights and searched around the dark villa.

Without exception, every room in the villa was subjected to extremely violent searches.

In the music room, not a single instrument was intact, the piano was smashed, the drum kit was punctured, even the guitar was smashed into several pieces, and the broken strings lay on the ground weakly.

The book room was equally miserable, every book was opened, discarded on the floor, and the large and small bookcases were broken down into several sections.

It stands to reason that a formally trained member of the Enforcement Directorate would not do such a thing.

Everything the two saw was a sign that this matter was not as simple as it seemed.

"Go to the basement, there should be nothing left on the ground." Susha said.

"Yes, my lord, I'll go ahead."

Ding Can still volunteered and took the lead in exploring the way in the basement.

The basement of this villa is not very large, the entrance is just on the left corner of the living room on the first floor, and it is a normal wooden door.

The lock of the wooden door had been violently removed, and the lock cylinder had fallen aside.

Ding Can stood in front of the door, stretched out his hand, and gently pushed.

"Crunch ......"

The wooden door shook and slowly opened to one side, and a stronger musty smell hit the face.

At the same time, there was a cold wind that came out of nowhere, which made Ding Can get goosebumps all over his body.

Behind the door was a long wooden staircase, the dark red patent leather of the staircase had been cracked, mottled and dusted, and the corners were covered with cobwebs that stretched down into the darkness.

It's a lot like a scene dedicated to some classic horror movie.

Standing in the doorway, looking down, there seemed to be some terrifying monster waiting for the two of them in the dark area inside.

Ding Can was a little nervous, held the flashlight tightly, and took the first step.

As his steps fell, the stairs creaked, as if they could not bear his weight, as if they would collapse at any moment.

"It's only been two years since I lived, so how did this broken staircase become like this."

Ding Can continued to go down, making the stairs sound with every step, and he walked in horror.

Su Xia walked behind him, and soon noticed that the ceiling of this basement was crawling with black-brown mold, and the surrounding walls were the same, and there were many water marks on the ground.

Obviously, the basement was not waterproofed properly, allowing surface water to seep in.

The cold and humid environment is not friendly to wood products.

Of course, it is possible that the waterproofing was done, but later those members of the Law Enforcement Bureau damaged the basement too much during the violent search, causing the waterproof layer to fail.

"My lord, this is where An Shen committed suicide." Ding Can walked to the bottom and pointed to an area with a flashlight.

By the light of the flashlight, you can see that there are still signs left by the Law Enforcement Bureau on the ground.

The bloodstains had also remained in place, and had turned black, speckled in the distance, and congealed in the nearest.

"Take a look around, and maybe you'll find something."

The first clue given by the mission is the singer's home, and it is impossible for Su Xiabai to visit.

I had searched every corner of the first and second floors, but found nothing of value, and this basement became the most likely place.

As far as the eye can see, the clutter in the basement also has traces of being searched, and it looks like a mess, with old desk lamps, broken TV cabinets, game consoles, etc., all smashed open.

Most of the floors were pried open, even the bloodstained areas were not spared.

Rotten floors and lots of crumbling debris were piled up on the floor, as well as a large pile of sponge foam and garbage paper, which was hard to find underfoot.

"It doesn't seem like there's anything here......"

Ding Can rummaged around in the garbage-like debris pile, denying one thing after another.

He didn't know that Su Xia had a task system, and thought that Su Xia just wanted to come to this villa to have a look, and he didn't think he could find anything valuable.

As I rummaged, the dust was raised high, and countless tumbling fine particles appeared in the flashlight beam.

Su Xia looked more carefully than Ding Can.

He has filtered most of the waste electrical appliances here through metal induction, mainly targeting woodwork, foam, paper, and so on.

The search time passed minute by minute, and before I knew it, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.

Ding Can got up from the pile of waste items and stretched hard.

"Hoo ......"

He exhaled, the joints of his body clicked, and rubbed his sore back by the way, like a hard-working old farmer.

Bending over and rummaging for a long time puts a lot of pressure on the body.

"My lord, do you have any other clues?" Ding Can opened his mouth to ask, feeling that this villa could not provide anything.

Maybe you should check out the singer's original friends?

He thought so.

If you can't find a friend, it's good to check the place where the singer went a few days before committing suicide.

This villa has already been searched by others, what else can be found?

But Su Xia said, "If you look for a while, you should be able to find a useful ......."

As he spoke, he stared at a pile of tattered paper objects and saw a yellowed newspaper.

On the front of the newspaper, there is only one content:

[The body of the famous singer An Shen was cremated today......]

The title is prominently printed, with a large picture below the title, followed by a large amount of text.

Su Xia bent down to pick up the newspaper and read it carefully.

In this basement, there are not many paper documents such as newspapers.

Many wealthy people in the city have the habit of reading newspapers, and every day there will be newsboys running around the city, delivering the latest newspapers to those people's doors.

At the beginning, my father liked to read newspapers, and he read all kinds of newspapers, and he often read them for most of the day.

"My lord, this newspaper ......"

Ding Can quickly realized that something was wrong and slowly approached to observe.

In the basement just now, the dates of the rest of the newspapers he found were all before An Shen committed suicide, and only the newspapers found by Su Xia were dated after the suicide.

The singer's body was cremated, so naturally it couldn't be the newspaper he read.

Could it be that someone from the Law Enforcement Bureau brought it in?

However, judging from the extent of the destruction of this villa, it can be seen that those people were quite anxious at the beginning, rummaging through boxes and cabinets, and most of them were not in the mood to read the newspaper.

At this time, several prompts popped up in front of Su Xia's eyes.

[You found the item "Yellowed Newspaper"]

[You don't feel right]

Inexplicable hint, there is a feeling of playing a first-person perspective game.

Su Xia suddenly thought that he was in the game.

This report raises a lot of doubts about the death of singer An Shen, such as An Shen also issued a concert announcement a few days before his death, confirmed a fan meeting the day before, and even searched for how to make apple pie on the night of his death.

All signs show that An Shen has a very clear plan for his life and future, and he doesn't look like a person who wants to commit suicide at all.

[The doubts raised in this report gave you a new idea]

[You see the news agency that publishes the newspaper, and you see the reporter who reports the news]

[Are you going to visit the reporter to get more clues......]

【……】

Another series of hints, this task is probably to guide Su Xia to the next clue.

"Look at it."

Su Xia handed the newspaper to Ding Can, and then continued to open the rest of the paper documents in the basement.

On the side, Ding Can rubbed his eyes, and by the light of the flashlight, he began to read the information in the newspaper word by word.

After reading it, he said to Su Xia: "My lord, this report is written correctly, there are many doubts about that suicide, but unfortunately it did not cause too many repercussions at the time. ”

"Look again, and if you can't find any other clues, follow me to visit the reporter." Susha said.

"My lord, this reporter is dead."

"Huh?"

Su Xia was surprised and raised her head to look at Ding Can.

"This reporter used to be quite famous, and he won a journalism award for his coverage of the sewage problem in Seahorse City, so I knew him, but he was in a car accident two years ago and died instantly," Ding explained. ”

Su Xia frowned, and finally had a hint, and it was actually broken like this.

He asked, "Does this journalist have any family?" ”

"Yes, his wife is also a journalist."

"Then let's pay a visit."

"My lord, his wife is dead, too."

"Huh?"

"I heard it was martyrdom." Ding Can held the newspaper and said, "Not long after his death, there was an explosion at his wife's residence, and it was later investigated that it was a gas leak, and some people speculated that it was martyrdom." ”

"Is there anyone else in his family?" Susha asked.

"I'll find someone to check, wait a minute, sir."

Just checking on a person, it doesn't take long, and it doesn't require much power.

It didn't take long for Ding Can to get the information he wanted.

"Also, his parents are still alive and well, and they have been fighting lawsuits all these years." Ding Can said.

"What kind of lawsuit?" Su Xia asked him.

"That's what happened in the car accident." Ding Can looked at the news and continued: "The truck driver who caused the car accident was later judged to be accidental homicide and sentenced to three suspended sentences. ”

"Interesting...... Accidents, probation, meritorious service, commutation, the perfect route, you can go around dashing within a few months of killing someone. ”

"Yes, so the parents of the journalist are not convinced."

"There are loopholes in your Seahorse City's justice."

Su Xia said to Ding Can: "When you climb to a high position in the future, remember to fill the loopholes." ”

Ding Can was helpless: "My lord, I don't want to sit in that position." ”

"People live for a lifetime, most of them can't help themselves, and there are some things that they don't want to do."

"I understand ......"

Fate is a very twisted thing, and there are very few people who can have a smooth ride.

Just as the two were communicating, a sharp alarm suddenly sounded outside the villa, and the sound was quite harsh.

"Hmm-"

Ding Can's face changed, and he hurriedly ran outside.

The sirens are coming from the black sedan, indicating that there are now ill-intentioned creatures outside the car, which may pose a threat to Suki in the car.

And Su Xia was faster than him, and he left the basement in a flash, and rushed out of the villa in the blink of an eye.

"Who?"

He saw a dark figure hovering around the car.

The night wind howled, drowning out his voice, and the dark shadow didn't seem to hear it, still tentative outside the car.

Su Xia sensed the presence of a lot of metal, the black shadow was a mechanical creature, but the internal structure was not as sophisticated as that of the individual of the mechanical family, just a very rough simple robot.

Before he could get closer, the robot exploded.

"Boom!"

The explosion was deafening, debris flew everywhere, and gunpowder smoke billowed out of danger.

Fortunately, the black sedan was heavy and bulletproof enough, and although the body shook violently a few times and the surface of the glass shattered, there was nothing wrong with the interior.

Su Qi, who was sitting in the car, had a pale face and clutched the seat tightly, not in danger of her life.

Seeing this scene, Su Xia breathed a sigh of relief.

When the explosion was over, he took a closer look around and walked slowly.

Ding Can, who was in the back, hurriedly ran over and asked, "My lord, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay, pay attention to your surroundings."

Su Xia said a few words, and then continued to walk over.

The crudely robotic robot had turned into a cloud of debris in the self-explosion, leaving not even a shred of valuable information behind.

However, on the hood of the car, Susha found a metal plate left behind by the robot.

On the board, there is a very simple sentence:

[Stop investigating, lowly creature, you don't know what you're up against]
