Chapter 074: The Incident of the Dying Township 16
Everyone in the institute was resettled, the staff remained in the dormitory on the third floor, while the villagers and guests of the hot spring inn were assigned to some rooms on the second floor and an area on the first floor.
This time the living area was larger, but in view of the previous encounter, everyone tried to rest in a separate lockable room, and no one dared to rest in the hall. No matter how stuffy and flustered they were, no one dared to take a walk in the yard.
Li Andi and Chen Chuyao approached the villagers for questioning, hoping to find some clues.
Li Andi first found a middle-aged man named Guo Qiuping, who had been his guide, and asked him about some of the situation last night.
Lao Guo has been resting in the hall, so he experienced the thrilling scene in the morning, and he still looked panicked all day long. After seeing Andy Lee, he began to complain.
"When you're over there, put me in the hall! When I got here, I was arranged on the first floor again! When you encounter zombies, those guys don't save them, it's really hateful! Lao Guo said indignantly: "Those people in the village committee all live in a single room on the second floor!" That room is so nice! It's more luxurious than the guys in the village committee! Our side almost died, but they came here to enjoy it! ”
"Was there anything unusual going on in the hall last night?" Andy Lee asked directly.
Lao Guo complained for a long time, his depressed emotions seemed to be expressed, and he had calmed down a lot at this time, and said to Li Andi: "Everyone was very relaxed all day yesterday, thinking that it would be fine!" I waited for the snow to stop and be rescued, and I was active in the yard for a while during the day, so I slept very deeply at night, and I was not woken up by the shouting until the morning, and at night, I didn't know anything! ”
"When the zombies entered the hall, didn't you notice them?" Andy Lee confirmed.
"Most of us were resting away from the gate, except for Liu Haodong who was always near the gate. So none of us noticed when the zombies entered the hall. ”
"Liu Haodong is the infected villager?"
"Yes! That's him, he's still a member of the village committee! ”
"But you just said that the people in the village committee have special treatment, how can this Liu Haodong always be near the relatively dangerous gate?"
"Now everyone thinks it's dangerous, but when the zombies don't appear, Liu Haodong and we think it's going to be fine! Liu Haodong was guarding the door, it was for the village chief to see, it seemed that he was capable and courageous! He has always been like this, flattering to superiors and abducting and deceiving subordinates! ”
That is to say, when the zombies entered the hall, no one found the villagers who were resting in the hall, and during this period, Liu Haodong was infected by the zombies. Until a villager found the zombie that had entered the hall. ”
"It should be!" Lao Guo nodded in response.
Then, Li Andi and Chen Chuyao asked a few more villagers in the hall, and everyone's answers were not much different from Lao Guo's. I never got a useful lead.
"I still don't have a clue about what happened!" Andy Li couldn't help but sigh.
"Originally, the villagers blocked the door on the first floor with tables and chairs, but after relaxing, those obstacles were removed, and it happened that the main entrance of the hall was an automatic door with induction, so as long as the sensor was triggered by standing in the right position, the glass induction sliding door would automatically open." "I think that's why the sleeping villagers didn't notice the zombies entering," said Mr. Adam. ”
"But everyone in the hall didn't notice the opening of the door and the entry of zombies, this thing is really suspicious!" Chen Chuyao followed: "Moreover, several villagers we asked said that they slept very deeply last night, which is also very strange. ”
"Yes! One or two people slept very deeply, and it is possible that a dozen or so people in the hall slept so deeply, which is indeed strange! Mr. Adam chimed in.
"Could it be that someone has done something to the villagers in the hall! Putting them to sleep? Andy Lee guessed.
Chen Chuyao blinked her big beautiful eyes and said, "I think it's very possible!" ”
"What is the purpose of this?" Mr. Adam was puzzled: "Anyway, the zombies have already entered the courtyard, and it doesn't matter whether the villagers are awake or not!" ”
"Could it be that the shadow people have to pass through the hall late at night and go to the courtyard, fearing that they will be discovered by the people in the hall, so they find a way to put them into a deep sleep." Andy Lee pushed his glasses and guessed.
"If you just want to go into the courtyard and go out through a window that no one is looking, then you don't have to do that." Chen Chuyao expressed his opinion.
Li Andi also felt that Chen Chuyao's words made sense, and then nodded and said, "What is the purpose of the shadow man's doing?" ”
"Your speculation is based on the fact that the people in the hall have all fallen into a deep sleep for some reason, but this matter has not been determined, it is just our speculation." Mr. Adam tried to bring the problem back to square one.
"I still think it's too much of a coincidence that everyone didn't notice the zombies entering the hall!" Andy Lee followed.
"What can be confirmed now is that, first, someone secretly opened the small door in the courtyard wall, causing the zombies to enter the research institute. Second, it's not robots or nanobots that open the door, which means that the prisoners are among us. Third, one villager was infected and turned into a zombie, and was killed by the villagers! Chen Chuyao gently pushed a strand of hair from his sideburns behind his ears and continued: "What can't be confirmed at the moment is, first, why did the people in the hall fall into a deep sleep? Second, what is the purpose of the Shadow Man putting the zombies in the research institute? ”
"Isn't the purpose of the Shadow Man to create chaos and then take advantage of the opportunity to steal the technology of the Institute?" Mr. Adam wondered.
Andy Lee also looked confused, probably thinking the same as Mr. Adam.
Chen Chuyao then said slowly: "I think there are three possibilities for the purpose of the shadow man. First, let the zombies enter the research institute to ensure that the police have to use thermobaric bombs to blow up the research institute. Second, by causing chaos through zombies, to steal the technology of the research institute. Third, kill someone by the hands of zombies! ”
"Murder?!" Andy Lee heard a brand new explanation and followed: "Murder in the form of an accident? ”
"Since it's a shadow man, why don't you just kill the target? Anyway, the super artificial intelligence can't give him a crime index warning. Mr. Adam questioned.
"Actually, I also think that the third possibility is the least, but the information we have now cannot rule out this possibility!" Chen Chuyao explained softly.
"Judging from the situation of the dying township, if it is murder, the probability of vendetta is the greatest." Andy Li followed up and analyzed: "There is a high probability that the shadow people are not locals in their hometowns, otherwise the super artificial intelligence will not be able to detect relevant information." But in this way, it is unlikely that there will be a vendetta. ”
"Anyway, we still have to look for more clues!" Mr. Adam was too lazy to continue to deduce the possibilities, and said bluntly: "It's best to be able to catch the shadow man directly, and get the stolen goods alone!" ”
Andy Lee bowed his head slightly and said, "Judging from the current situation, if the shadow people want to steal the technology of the research institute, tonight is the last chance!" We need to closely monitor the passage from the living quarters to the institute building. ”
"After tonight, maybe the dust will settle!"
As he spoke, Mr. Adam looked out the window, and the snow was still blowing in the air.
Chen Chuyao also looked out the window thoughtfully, feeling that something would definitely happen tonight......
Late at night, Andy Lee, Chen Chuyao and Mr. Adam stayed on the fourth floor of the Baroque Hotel, of course, several people did not guard the door of the sky corridor, but in a separate closed room on the fourth floor. Waiting for the shadow man who might make a move.
During this period, Andy Li and Chen Chuyao took turns to take a nap, while Mr. Adam was doubly careful to keep an eye on the movement of the zombies outside the window to prevent the zombies from breaking through the wall of the living area again.
It was nearly four o'clock in the morning, and nothing happened. At this time, Andy Lee's mobile phone suddenly rang.
Chen Chuyao, who was resting, also heard the familiar prompt tone of Li Andi's mobile phone, which was the sound of the crime index warning. So, Chen Chuyao hurriedly got up and looked in the direction of Li Andi with her big beautiful eyes.
Li Andi hurriedly took out his mobile phone to check, and saw that the mobile phone interface showed the information of crime index warning, and the location of the crime was the Baroque hotel where several people were located, and the crime index reached more than 80 points.
"Probably a murder crime!"
While speaking, Andy Li handed the mobile phone to Chen Chuyao and Mr. Adam.
"Hmm...... What's going on?! Super Artificial Intelligence: Is this a shadow man detected?! Mr. Adam asked curiously.
Andy Li summoned Miss Di Di and asked eagerly, "Miss Di Di, did you find the whereabouts of the shadow man?" ”
The image of Miss Di Di's white-haired girl appeared in Andy Lee's mobile phone, and she said with a helpless look: "I'm sorry, I can't disclose the information related to the crime warning to you!" ”
"Andy, gather everyone together quickly so that no one will be killed!" Chen Chuyao didn't bother with the shadow man, but thought about saving the victims who might be killed.
"That's right! The murderer must be here, as long as everyone gets together, he can't do it! Mr. Adam said nervously.
"Good!"
Andy Lee immediately answered without thinking, and then immediately contacted Xue Rico, and strongly ordered him to immediately gather everyone in the Baroque Hotel to the fourth floor.
Xue Rico was sleeping, and was suddenly woken up by Andy Lee's phone, still in a state of ignorance, and could sense the urgency of the situation from Andy Lee's attitude and tone, so he got up and began to gather everyone in the hotel......
