Chapter 205 Old Theater
I motioned to Lonnie with my eyes, and Lonnie immediately understood, sat down in front, and began to question the old man.
"Mother-in-law, we want to know some basic information about your husband, please tell us about it."
While Lonnie asked, I stood up and looked around the room for clues.
The room was empty, with some decades-old furniture, not even a single appliance in sight, and I quickly caught my eye on a picture frame hanging on the wall.
In the frame, there are more than a dozen photos, which are group photos of the old lady and her wife at different times.
I scanned the past and found that the photos in front were still normal, but in the back, the appearance of the two gradually changed, tentacles grew on the side of their noses, their chins became sharper and sharper, and their eyelids drooped downward......
In the last one, two people are standing together, holding a black gift box in their hands, smiling at the camera.
I leaned in to take a closer look, and found that there were three words written on the gift box: Salamander Shoutang.
"Mother-in-law, what is this that you are holding in your hands?"
I pointed to the picture and turned back to the old lady and asked.
"Oh, that's the tonic given to us by Dr. Zheng of the Salamander Shoutang, the giant salamander essence!"
She told us that the old couple had no children and no daughters, and that the wife was seriously ill two years ago and was suffering in pain every day.
One day, when her wife said she wanted to go downstairs to bask in the sun, she helped her downstairs and sat on a chair while she went to cook on it.
When she cooked the meal and went downstairs, she found that her wife already had a black gift box in her hand.
His wife told her that a few community members had just taken him to the county theater to listen to a lecture, and this black gift box was the essence of the giant salamander given by the salamander Shoutang.
Her wife told her that this was a miracle medicine developed by Dr. Zheng, and after eating it, it could dispel illness and eliminate disasters and prolong life.
The old lady couldn't believe it because it tasted so strange, but her wife was convinced of it, and she had to scoop a spoonful every morning and evening.
However, in half a year, she found that her wife's body really began to change, her physical pain gradually disappeared, she was full of energy every day, and she didn't need a wheelchair for many years, and later, she even started to get up early every day to go out for a run!
After seeing the effect of this miracle medicine, the old lady was convinced and began to take this medicine.
"This thing is really good, I just took it for less than three months, and now I don't get dizzy, my eyes are not dizzy, I can see it in the sky and on the ground, and the house is so lively every day!"
The old lady's eyes lit up and she said with praise.
When I heard her words, I felt very strange, what does it mean that everyone in the heavens and the earth looks, and there is no one else in this room, what does she mean that the house is so lively every day?
Bai Ze wanted to ask in detail, but I pulled him and signaled that there was no need to continue asking.
"Mother-in-law, let's ask here today, go back and we'll sort out the information, and then contact you when we find clues."
With that, I walked out with Lonnie and the others.
Leaving Guangming Hutong, I returned to the place where the missing person notices were posted again, and took down the missing person notices and brought them back to the inn.
After returning to the inn, I took out a map and marked the missing places of those old people, and after some comparison, I found that all the places where the old people disappeared were within two kilometers of the county theater!
Thinking of what the old lady said before, I immediately concluded that the disappearance of the old people must have something to do with the lecture held at the county theater and the salamander Shoutang!
Rangnie and the others agreed, so we decided to go to the county theater to find out!
After walking for more than 20 minutes, I finally found the county theater located in the old town.
The county theater seems to have been abandoned for a long time, the gate is locked, and there is no one to be seen around.
But this naturally bothered us, so I went straight up and unlocked the door and walked into the theater lobby.
The lobby was dark, and in front of it was the Lord. There are dozens of seats side by side below, and it seems that this is the place where lectures are held.
We split up and searched around the theater, and it wasn't long before Bai Ze came over with a piece of paper.
"Brother Cheng, what do you think this is?"
I looked down and saw that Bai Ze was holding a lecture leaflet in his hand, with a picture of a black giant salamander on the left and a line of slogans in large scarlet letters on the right.
"The essence of the giant salamander will help you get rid of suffering and happiness, eternal life and eternal life!"
Although it is an advertising slogan, it is very uncomfortable to look at, and in my opinion, this is not like a propaganda slogan, but more like a magic spell!
I took a closer look and noticed that there was a line of small print underneath the flyer.
"At five o'clock in the afternoon of this Tuesday, Dr. Zheng will hold a lecture in the theater, and you are welcome to participate in the elderly friends at that time!"
Today is Monday, which means that if we come back tomorrow, we will be able to unravel the mystery behind this lecture.
We had to be patient and stayed up until four o'clock in the afternoon the next day, and then rushed over.
It was very lively outside the theater today, and as soon as I reached the gate, I saw that dozens of elderly people had gathered here to attend lectures.
We were about to enter the lobby when a man in a black robe with pointed ears suddenly stopped us.
"This lecture is for seniors over 60 years old, you can't go in!"
The man's expression was grim, and he spoke to us in a mechanical voice.
Bai Ze was about to break in, I quickly pulled him back, signaled him not to be impulsive, and then we retreated to an alley not far away to discuss a solution.
"Breaking in like this, it will definitely arouse the vigilance of the lecturer, and we can't find any information, so it's better for us to sneak in first, and then make plans."
As soon as I said this, Lonnie's eyes lit up, and of course she understood what I meant.
After some discussion, we decided to let Bai Ze and the others answer outside, while Lonnie and I used the disguise method to pretend to be an elderly couple and blend into the lecture!
When Lonnie and I reappeared outside the theater, it was already an elderly couple with gray hair, and the two of us walked to the door together, arm in arm.
Seeing us trembling over, the man just now behaved respectfully this time, took the initiative to open the door for us, and invited us to attend the lecture.
After entering the lobby, it was already full of old people, and Lonnie and I sat in the back corner, waiting for Dr. Zheng to appear.
Not for a while Lord.. The side door of the table opened, and a middle-aged man walked in and sat down at the table in the middle.
The man was dressed in a black robe, with two tentacles on either side of his nose, a sharp chin, and drooping eyelids......
