At noon the next day, there was a big news in Lingzhou City.

Sister Li sat at the coffee table in the hall on the first floor of the dart game and had lunch with Niuniu. In the past two days, Niuniu has caught a cold and asked for leave.

"Don't watch TV while eating."

Seeing that Niuniu's eyes were staring at the screen all the time, Sister Li reprimanded.

"Mom, you see there's a guy there—" Niu Niu didn't care, and raised her finger to point to the middle of the "Midday News" screen that was playing.

"People?"

Sister Li turned her head suspiciously, and then she saw a shocking tragedy.

Here's the thing.

Dongcheng is the oldest residential area in Lingzhou, and it has almost the same history as the fortress city, which has been around for nearly a hundred years. The city patrol decided to relocate the entire population and rebuild the new building there.

"Lunchtime News" specially planned a live broadcast program to let the public really feel the plight of life there and win the support of public opinion, so that the follow-up work can be carried out smoothly.

Just as everything is going according to plan, a woman covered in blood stumbles into a dirty and broken window at the back of the picture, attracting the attention of all viewers.

The location reporter turned his back to the camera, not knowing anything, and at this time the woman had clearly appeared on the edge of the window.

"Help!"

She suddenly pushed open the window and climbed onto the balcony and shouted hoarsely.

The crew of the film crew was also so flustered that they forgot to cut off the picture for a while.

"Someone is trying to harm me!"

"I'm definitely not moving!"

"They threatened me with a child who was still in elementary school!"

The woman broke down and cried.

At this point, the live broadcast was abruptly interrupted, and the TV turned into a snowflake screen.

But there were still many onlookers at the scene, and they uploaded the follow-up video to their respective social accounts.

"What's wrong!"

"Say, what are you afraid of!"

The people below gathered around to support her. Someone else rushed up the stairs to break into the house and help her fight. The reporter also called the city patrol department, and the nearest city patrol guard immediately rushed to the rescue.

But at this time, the woman became more and more anxious, as if no one could solve her problems.

She screamed, jumped from the balcony on the fourth floor, and died instantly.

People rushing in to rescue the door slammed open. The house was locked, there was no sign of an outsider's invasion, and no one coerced her into saying that and jumping off the building.

The crowd downstairs stared at the balcony the whole time, and nothing unusual happened in the house.

All the windows and ventilation ducts that could enter and exit were touched by the City Patrol Division, and no one left the scene.

As a result, the public opinion of the whole city exploded together.

"The City Patrol Division is too ruthless, in order to recover the land, he can do anything!"

Nine times out of ten, the comments under that video are all this kind of answer.

The City Patrol Division urgently refuted the rumors and launched an investigation, but there was no trace of their image being recovered.

"Alas, how do we ordinary people know what the truth is." Sister Li sighed and put down her phone.

At this moment, her mobile phone screen lit up, showing that she had received a message from Niuniu's homeroom teacher.

SMS notification to parents that the school will be closed for three days.

"Huh?" Sister Li was puzzled, and the doorbell at the door rang with a dingdong.

She turned her head to see a little boy standing in the doorway.

"It's Xiaoyu!" Sister Li greeted, "Are you here to find Niuniu?" ”

"I don't have to go to school today! School holidays," Xiaoyu ran in happily, "I'll play!" ”

"Why did you suddenly take a holiday...... Sister Li muttered, packing up her things and making room for Xiaoyu.

"Because there's a murderer near the school!"

Xiao Yu suddenly shouted excitedly, not afraid at all.

Murderer? Sister Li's heart suddenly jumped a few times.

"She didn't go to school today, but during the second class in the morning, someone suddenly burst into the school and cut a lot of students in physical education class!"

Hearing this, Sister Li's hands were cold and she clenched her fists.

It's horrible! This kind of thing actually happened in Lingzhou!

Why are there so many murders?

"Mom, I want water." Niu Niu said suddenly.

"Oh." Sister Li was in a trance, stood up, and walked towards the water dispenser.

She didn't notice that Xiao Yu's expression behind her became strange for a moment, not like a child at all.

He reached out and picked up his phone, which was still lit on the table.

Nothing happened all the way. In the morning, Ren Yi woke up at a resting point, and there was still a day's way to go, and he could go home.

"Hello everyone!"

Ren Yi nibbled on the cake while calling up the "round sky" in his mind, he was busy in the past two days, and he wanted to share the updated version of "Ghost Buddha" and "Ni Dress", to show that he was the leader of the group and could really help if he had something.

A void of black poured into Ren Yi's mind, and the "round sky" floated in it, and the light in it slowly flickered.

As the sphere turned, dozens of whispers gradually poured in like a tidal wave.

"Well, we've talked so much." Ren Yi was embarrassed.

Tomie: "...... The case must be solved within three days, everyone help think about it, I really don't want to be punished! ”

Ren Yi wanted to speak, but suddenly heard Tomie reveal the key words about his identity, he immediately ignited his gossip heart, took out a small notebook that recorded the observations of each member, and made another note for Tomie.

It's actually an official food eater? I didn't expect it! Ren Yi was amazed.

A color steel tile factory Li: "Let's talk about it." ”

Ren Yi concentrated and began to focus on distinguishing the content of the words that came to his ears like a tidal wave.

Tomie: "Last night in our city, there were eight massacres in a row. ”

"In a short period of time, it happened all over the city, and every case was done by the owner of the house himself, killing his wife and children."

"These families are not related to each other, and the relationship between the members of the family has nothing in common. Some are indeed at odds with their husbands and wives or are riddled with debts, but some are harmonious and wealthy, and they cannot find the slightest motive for murder. ”

Wow, so exciting?

Ren Yi listened to it mentally, he has loved to listen to ghost stories and urban unsolved cases since he was a child, and it is not a big deal to watch the excitement.

Swallowing Heaven: "Sounds like it's been contaminated with radiation. In the early stage of pollution, it is generally a mental and intellectual lesion, and the body has not yet produced abnormal conditions. ”

Tomie's answer sounded a little sad: "...... Probably not. Our city has its own way of eliminating this. ”

A color steel tile factory Li: "Ah, it turns out that you are from Lingzhou!" Do you work in the City Patrol Division? I've been in business before, so maybe we've seen it. ”

Tomie: "Is it okay to see through it and not say it?" ”

Hahaha......

Ren Yi was about to die of laughter when he heard it, what is social death?

Smiling and smiling, Ren Yi's expression suddenly froze on his face.

Wait, Lingzhou?

Lingzhou!

What happened to me when I wasn't there?

Yanshi: "It may also be an ability~ I can do this level of control!" ”

Tomie: "That's what we suspected. However, how he got in, what abilities he possessed, and what his purpose was, is completely unknown now. ”

"And whatever!"

"The mother of a company employee has been seriously ill for several months, and the previous family visit has used up all the vacations, and the boss does not allow him to take a look at his mother's death."

"What else do you say, 'Your mother has died, you can't change the facts if you go, it's better to do a good job if you have time'."

A color steel tile factory Li: "This is too much, the big factory is not free." ”

Tomie: "Then, in a fit of rage, he killed the boss." and slashed four or five colleagues in the company, and then committed suicide by jumping off the building. ”

Everyone was silent.

"A woman who had no money for treatment because of cancer actually drugged the whole family's meal and turned on the gas ......"

"There is also a barbecue stall in the back alley of the second elementary school, because the business is bad all year round, the boss rushed into the school with a kitchen knife......"

Second Elementary School, back alley, barbecue stand......

Ren Yi's memory gradually sketched a clear picture, and his heart gradually cooled.

He went there to pick up Niuniu for Sister Li, and he knew that Fujiang was really from Lingzhou.

Something really happened.

"There is a causal logic in these cases." Tomie continued, "There is a slight difference from before, and I can't even tell whether it is the intentional control of the able, or the consequence of the spread of negativity in the city. This, in turn, interferes with our work. ”

"Cases are still appearing, people in the city are panicking, and a rumor has emerged that this is an advent incident, and the city patrol department has lost accurate judgment and defense ability, and cannot provide protection for the people."

This......

Ren Yi panicked in his heart, and had no intention of continuing to maintain the void space in his head, and the voice in his ears dissipated.

Suddenly, Ren Yi's phone vibrated and three text messages jumped into the screen.

The first is Wang Chunfu.

"Xiaoyi, there's an accident at home, come back quickly!"

The second is Sister Li, and the content is similar.

"Xiaoyi, your father is injured, hurry home."

The third is any tour, and the content is the opposite.

"Something happened in Lingzhou, go quickly, don't come back!"

His right hand, which was holding the phone, instantly drooped, and his heart was in turmoil.

Could it be that something happened to the dart game?

No, except for himself in the dart game, everyone is a master of fist and foot kung fu, how can he be attacked silently?

Ren Yi shuddered, and pressed it several times before pressing the call button.

Toot, toot –

There was a busy sound, and Ren You's phone couldn't get through.

Ren Yi's heart was even colder.

What's wrong?

He dialed Wang Chunfu and Sister Li again, but without exception, none of them worked.

I can't help it...... Ren Yi held the steering wheel and took a deep breath.

He glanced at the still lit phone screen and threw it to the side of the passenger seat.

"Don't come back...... You've said so, can I not reply! ”

Ren Yi stepped on the accelerator hard, and the car rushed out of the vast wilderness with a buzz.
