Looking at the electronic dossier sent by Lu Xiang, Song Lan also made a difficulty.

In the past few decades, there have been dozens of missing people who have suddenly left the town and their whereabouts are unknown, not to mention other urban weird stories, but because District 17 has always been an area with a high incidence of missing people, and Lu Xiang's former head of the law enforcement department never paid attention to these cases, the whereabouts of these missing people have become an eternal mystery.

Last night, he subconsciously thought that this was another conspiracy of the company, and guessed that they had done something to the village chief of Yangcun in order to investigate the void through him, judging from the so many files sent by Lu Xiang, it seemed that things were not so simple.

No matter how powerful the company is, it is impossible to predict that this town will one day become a base of the void after a few decades.

Song Lan never expected that her leisure trip to reclaim the farm would suddenly be related to the strange talk of the town and dozens of missing people.

He re-examined the file, and found that the identities of the missing persons were varied, and he could not find any common ground in social identity, and the only clue was that they all seemed to leave the town in a sleepwalking state, and followed the same highway to the city.

In fact, the head of Yangcun also had the same situation as the missing people, except that he was stopped by the "hunter" on the way, although this left him covered in injuries, but from another point of view, he also picked up a life, otherwise he would most likely be one of the many missing people now.

In order to answer the doubts in his heart, Song Lan told the three of them to stay in the room in the hotel today and not to move around, and sent the infected security robot to the third floor to guard them, and then he transferred a transport truck from the farm under construction next door, and drove him and the wind chimes slowly along the road towards the city.

In 2020, he was a loyal viewer of "Approaching Science", and he has always believed that behind those bizarre events, there are often reasons that can be explained by science, but he did not expect that he would one day participate in the show himself.

Now it's up to him to figure out the decades-long mystery of the town's disappearances, or else this strange thing will haunt him and keep him awake at night.

To do this, he had to overdraw his psionic energy again, spread it out, and observe the movements around him in detail, if those who disappeared did not encounter aliens along the way and suddenly disappeared, then they might more or less leave some clues along the way.

When the car drove several kilometers to the steep mountain road, the unrolled psionic energy finally found the traces left by the missing person under the cliff.

They parked their car on the side of the road, with the Guardian Spirit leading the way in front, and they made their way down, eventually finding dozens of weathered bones all over the mountain.

Some of the farther ones walked through most of the mountain road, and some of the closer ones just got up the mountain road and rolled off the cliff and fell to their deaths.

"Someone killed them and threw their bodies here?"

After inspecting the corpse with Song Lan, Feng Chime asked curiously, she knew that the people scattered here were most likely the people who disappeared from the town's strange tales.

"Not really." Song Lan shook his head, he had lived with Lu Xiang for so long, and he had learned some knowledge of criminal investigation, "If someone killed them and deliberately threw their corpses, the corpses should not be scattered everywhere like they are now."

Yesterday, when they were exploring the location of the farm, they found that as long as they left the town and headed east, they would encounter a wasteland, and even if the murderer really wanted to dump the corpse, they should be lured to the east.

Therefore, Song Lan had a bold guess.

These people sleepwalked here, because the terrain was too steep, accidentally fell off the cliff and died, the vehicles coming and going would not spread the spiritual energy all over the mountains like him to search for clues left by the missing people, and most of the missing people left the town at night, so no one could have imagined that the missing people in the town for many years would sleep here.

The two dug as they searched, erecting simple nameless graves for these unknown missing people.

"This also just explains the strange story of the night bus driver who encountered a ghost on the mountain road, but in fact he saw a sleepwalking missing person, but

Because of the dim light and the erratic walking, they are considered ghosts."

With such an explanation, Song Lan's heart suddenly became much more steady.

Although it is not known why these people sleepwalk, he has at least ruled out mysterious forces such as aliens.

From a scientific point of view, these people were killed by accidentally falling off a cliff while sleepwalking through a steep mountain road.

Then he thought of the only surviving informant, the biggest difference between her and the other missing people was that she went to the city by car, and when she arrived in the city, she booked a hotel room and slept until she woke up.

It may be that she happened to meet an acquaintance who was driving to the city halfway that day, so she was called into a car, which also saved her from falling off a cliff and dying.

According to Lu Xiang's investigation, this incident occurred more than 20 years ago, the lady returned to the town, and has not encountered a similar situation since then, and can be regarded as spending her old age in the town.

"Maybe the purpose of sleepwalking wasn't to kill people, but to get them out of town and into the city."

After returning to the car, Song Lan made a hypothesis.

Wind Chimes was full of doubts, "Why did they do this?"

More and more, she felt that the outside world was too difficult to understand.

There was no danger in returning from the town to the city, and it was only a few kilowatts away by bus, but dozens of people lost their lives.

"Probably to avoid being pursued."

"But didn't you say that there was no murderer in Ben Yu?"

"I mean the murderer didn't appear in the real world, the peddler said that he saw the missing person leave the town with a panicked look, as if he was running away from someone, but that day he didn't find any suspicious people chasing the missing person, and the head of the village of Sheep Village dreamed that he appeared in a prison-like place, and he remembered that someone in the dream urged him to run."

"Someone made them have the same dream."

Wind Chime is thoughtful, maybe a psychic person, and it is still possible that he is still in the town.

"There's no one else in town but us."

Before leaving, Song Lan had already searched the entire town, and there was no one else in the town except for them.

They've only solved one of the mysteries now, and why these missing people have the same dreams is the next mystery that their Approaching Science bug team needs to solve.

Don't walk away, it's more exciting after the ad.

Song Lan even had that familiar advertising phrase in her mind.

Subsequently, he told Lu Xiang about his discovery under the cliff, and the criminal investigation expert of the 17th District once again highly praised him.

He used science to answer the fate of the town's missing people for decades and the reasons for their deaths.

"It's a shame you're not a detective."

Lu Xiang sighed on the phone again, you must know that these strange stories are one of the most bizarre cases even in the law enforcement department, and many law enforcement officers will feel chills when they talk about this matter in the middle of the night, "You already have the most important trait to become a detective."

"You mean witty minds?"

As a wise general, Song Lan decided to gladly accept Lu Xiang's praise.

"No, witty minds are common, and you have a more special gift."

"What talent?"

"Wherever you go, you will have the gift of life."

Lu Xiang said seriously.

Throughout the ages, there are not a few people with intelligence and intelligence, but like a broom star, a business trip can involve a physique that has been missing for many years, and throughout history, I am afraid there are very few.

"Is that a compliment?"

The corners of Song Lan's mouth twitched, he would rather he didn't have this talent.

"Of course."

Lu Xiang's words changed sharply, and he suddenly said, "Do you remember Captain Kate?"

"Yes."

He had heard more than once about Captain Kate's deeds from Zhuang Chi, Zhuang Chi

said that she was a good captain who not only saved her from danger and recommended her to join the law enforcement department, but also took matters into her own hands and was always active on the front line of fighting crime.

It's a pity that in District 17, it is the standard ending that good people have no good reward, and Captain Kate did not catch up with the good time, before Lu Xiang was transferred to District 17, she disappeared in the process of investigating a eucalyptus.

"I just found out another interesting thing, Captain Kate seems to be investigating the disappearance of the town, and the last time she was seen was when she drove to the town alone."

Since then, Captain Kate has not been heard from again.

There is no one in life, and no corpse in death.
