Chapter 248: The Crowd Who Disappeared Out of Thin Air
"Are you sure he won't leave somewhere else when you're not looking?"
After watching the scene, when a group of soldiers began to get extremely nervous, Zhan Jingyi also frowned slightly, thought for a while, and stepped forward to ask.
"Absolutely not!"
The soldier swore an oath and explained anxiously: "I originally thought that I would come out and borrow some money from him, but I was thinking about how to speak, and I was embarrassed to be heard, so of course I had to wait for him here......"
"I didn't do anything else, I just stared at the door and smoked, and I really didn't see him coming out of it...... And there's no other place to go out of this place...... Could it be that he will evaporate out of thin air? ”
"Could it be because he knows you want to borrow money, so he doesn't want to lend you money, but he's too embarrassed to refuse?"
Zhan Jingyi thought about this question in his heart, but he didn't say it, but silently thought about other possibilities.
At this time, the candle dragon also came out of the toilet in a circle, and whispered: "Captain, this matter may be a little strange, I just checked carefully, there is really no other exit from this toilet, if Lao Zhang is really inside, then Lao Zhang may really be mysteriously missing." ”
"Unless...... The soldier lied, Lao Zhang was not in it at all, or he took advantage of the soldier's inattention and sneaked out, or there was no other explanation. ”
Zhan Jingyi nodded slightly, he also thought that these two possibilities were quite large, especially the second one was more likely.
……
At this time, there was a commotion from the crowd behind, and Zhan Jingyi looked up and saw that Zhong Qiang rushed over after hearing the news.
Zhong Qiang first said hello to Zhan Jingyi, then dragged the soldier over, and after asking Lao Zhang about his disappearance in detail, when he heard that it was a case of disappearance in the secret room, his face suddenly became a little vigilant, and he immediately turned his head to look at Zhan Jingyi.
Zhan Jingyi met his gaze and nodded slightly, indicating that things were indeed the same as he knew.
As if he understood Zhan Jingyi's gesture, Zhong Qiang's face sank, looked around at the soldiers who were still arguing, and shouted: "Shut up for me, don't be noisy, don't scatter to find someone first, ...... first"
“…… Inform the captains and count the number of people for me! ”
At this time, Zhong Qiang made the right decision: "Immediately, immediately, count the people on the boat for me to see if anyone else has mysteriously disappeared." ”
All the soldiers around Zhong Qiang were stunned for a moment, you look at me, I look at you, thinking why do you still have to check the personnel, how can this be less?
But these soldiers on the ship are all from Zhong Qiang's direct troops, and they must not listen to the words of the direct commander.
For a while, some communication soldiers began to ask all the team leaders to check the personnel through the walkie-talkie, because the ship is very large, relatively speaking, the soldiers' investigation is relatively easy, but those crew members and waiters are scattered all over the hull, and it will take a certain amount of time to investigate.
Moreover, because of last night's mermaid song, many people are still locked up in that restaurant and have to be verified one by one, so it is a little troublesome to count at this time.
"First Brigade...... All the people. ”
"Fourth Brigade...... Two more have not been found. ”
"Seventh Brigade...... All the people. ”
"Sixth Brigade...... Still verifying! ”
“……”
As time passed, Zhong Qiang's face kept changing, and when he was about to report to the end, his face suddenly turned a little pale.
Although Zhan Jingyi didn't know the number of people on the ship like him, he was also aware of the problem, he remembered that when he first got on the ship before, Zhong Qiang had said that there were a total of eight brigades with him, with a total of 300 people.
But today, the eight brigades, plus those who were locked up, have only 281 people.
And if you add these people at the scene, there are a total of 289 people, which means that 11 people are missing.
And that's not even counting the passengers and other crew members, and if they were all added, more people might be missing.
And, the most crucial thing now is whether these people are really missing, or whether there are other possibilities.
……
"Clock ......"
One of the soldiers raised his hand tremblingly and said, "It was too late last night, and some people may take advantage of the fact that they are okay and go back to their rooms to rest......"
When Zhong Qiang heard this, his eyes were upside down, and he scolded fiercely: "Didn't you say that you should all stay at your posts?" ”
"Yes, yes, it's just that it was too late last night, and some people are still landlubbers......"
The soldier said with a sad face: "I always feel a little dizzy when I get on the boat, so I don't have a good rest." ”
"Fuck."
Zhong Qiang spat on the ground viciously, and scolded fiercely: "Don't panic first, now ask all the captains to gather people for me, and everyone will take them to the restaurant on the first floor, where the place is big enough, now, immediately, immediately." ”
"By the way, give me a ship-wide notice and ask everyone to put down their work and gather at the restaurant."
"In addition, notify the wheelhouse, stop the boat for me temporarily, the original underground anchor, you must figure it out before you can go, you have lost so many people, that's not okay."
Hearing his order, the soldiers present immediately got busy again and began to convey orders through the walkie-talkie.
After giving the order, Zhong Qiang took two steps closer to Zhan Jingyi, took out two cigarettes and handed them to him and Candle Dragon, and then lit one himself, and then a trace of worry appeared on his face, and he glanced at Zhan Jingyi, as if he wanted to ask something, but did he ask.
Zhan Jingyi saw what he wanted to ask, shook his head slightly, and said: "I haven't seen anything like this, but I know that some people are indeed able to do some things that seem incredible, so what I can do now is not to panic." ”
Saying that, Zhan Jingyi sighed lightly and said: "In the 502 Institute, Candle Dragon and I are dealing with such a thing, although this matter is rather weird, but don't forget, there are many experts in this area on this ship, so ......"
He smiled at Zhong Qiang and said, "I will try my best to help you find them!" ”
Although Zhan Jingyi didn't give him any guarantees, hearing his words, Zhong Qiang's heart was still slightly wide.
He knows that he is a good friend, and he will not make any promises easily, but as long as he promises, he will definitely do his best.
Zhong Qiang nodded to Zhan Jingyi and said in a low voice: "Xiao Zhan, you know, I'm not very good at saying pretty things, but I owe you this, otherwise, I'll introduce my sister to you......
"Do you remember, I said when I was a soldier before, my sister is a big beauty, I remember that you have never had a girlfriend, and it doesn't matter how many years you are old."
When Zhan Jingyi heard this, he hurriedly politely refused, not knowing that his friend still had the desire to be a matchmaker.
And the current atmosphere is not suitable, and it is possible to be disgusting at this time......
……
As the order was delivered, although many people did not know what was happening, they still obeyed the order and came to the restaurant, and after arriving at the restaurant, they lined up according to the various brigades.
Zhan Jingyi, Zhong Qiang, and Candle Dragon also came here, and soon, Professor Li Chong, Aunt Wu, Chen Liang and others also gathered, and learned what happened from Candle Dragon's mouth, and everyone also felt a little unbelievable, how could this person still disappear out of thin air?
In the crowd, Zhan Jingyi also saw his friends Mo Wenyi, Wu Yali and Vice President Bi, seeing that the faces of the three were a little frightened, it seemed that Professor Li Chong had consulted with them before, and they should probably know what was going on.
"Clock, they remembered......"
After a while, a captain surnamed Zhao under Zhong Qiang led three people over and said, "The few of them are almost the last to see those missing people." ”
After asking carefully, I learned that someone had seen the person named Zhang Kai at noon, and discussed with others the beautiful women in the waiter on the ship, and after eating, he said that he wanted to go back to the room and squint for a while, and no one would see him again.
There are a few people who play cards together, and a person named Liu Shanliang lost 100 yuan, saying that he went to wash his hands and transfer to transfer, but he never came back when he went out, and he also disappeared without a trace, and several people at the scene also suspected that he was deliberately hiding to repay the debt.
The other people who disappeared were almost like this, there were still people talking and laughing, but when they turned their heads, they were gone.
"How can it be so evil?"
Zhong Qiang has obviously seen strong winds and waves, but in the face of such a strange thing, at this time, he is also a little at a loss.
Faced with his question, Zhan Jingyi couldn't answer it at this time.
Did these people leave by some unknown means, or did they really just disappear into thin air?
If they disappeared out of thin air, then what was the reason, or how did someone make them disappear?
