"You...I am the student you gave the postcard to during the day."

Chen Qing frowned and explained to the other end of the phone, but the policewoman's face still looked strange.

"Of course I remember, but that's not what I'm asking you about! What I'm asking you about is who stole the school surveillance camera! You said you were the last one to leave!"

Chen Ci was silent for a long time, and the document in his hand was a little wrinkled.

"I have a clue. Can you come to the school? I'll wait for you at the school gate."

"School? Now?" The voice on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, and finally agreed.

"I'll be there in half an hour."

Chen Qing nodded and sat back at the dining table.

In just half an hour, a figure hurried towards the school gate from the roadside.

Chen Qing raised his eyes and saw that the tired look could only be the person he was still waiting for.

"Here." He waved and called the policeman.

"I hope you really have a clue to tell me. I turned down this rare vacation. I'm really tired." She sat down in a hurry, her hair around her ears a little messy.

"I wish you could go over the case again."

She frowned and looked at Chen Qing.

"I am serious."

"I'm serious too."

Chen Qing looked at her and put the drink in his hand in front of her: "I won't wait here for half an hour for the police, just for fun. It's illegal."

She looked at the young man in front of her and nodded silently.

"We received a report last night and all the cameras in your school were destroyed. According to the records in the cameras, you were the last person photographed."

"What did you capture of me?"

The policeman was silent for a moment, holding the drink tightly in his fingertips.

“I photographed you on the rooftop, talking to an empty place.

I photographed you in the corridor, smearing the wall with blood from your forehead. "

"But it can't be true, otherwise I wouldn't be sitting with you. At least not like this; we'd have to at least change the scene."

"But this thing is too bizarre... That's why I'm willing to give up my private time." Jiang Wan put down her drink and put her hands in her pockets.

But listening to her words, Chen Qing smiled: "Then you know that in my memory, this is not the reason and purpose for you to find me and give me my private phone number."

"What's the meaning?!"

Chen Qing shook his head: "First point, the surveillance blind spots in our school are thirty meters ahead of the west wall, under the parking shed on the east side, and under the camera at the back of the teaching building."

"What do you want to say?"

"If that was really me, there's no way you could see me."

He pointed to the camera at the school gate: "Second: It's very simple to fake a piece of surveillance, especially for this kind of... not very professional security room. I wonder if you have analyzed the content captured by the camera? "

Jiang Wan frowned, and there seemed to be a few drops of sweat on her hands in her pockets.

"Of course we did the analysis! There are no deletions or adjustments in the entire film! This!"

"Even the resolution is the same?" He looked into Jiang Wan's eyes in front of him, bent forward and lay on the table.

"Of course...it's the same! How could it be..." She wanted to say how could it be different, but before she could say anything, Chen Qing interrupted her.

"This is the problem! The cameras in the school are actually very old, and most of the videos captured will have noise or reduced resolution. How can those videos be 'completely' without problems."

She was stunned and looked a little embarrassed.

"What do you want to say?"

"The business card you gave me was not because of such a boring case." He looked at Jiang Wan with a very serious expression.

"I know you are confused." He looked at Jiang Wan and handed over the document in his hand.

"What is this?" The girl frowned in confusion.

"There are vacant houses in this area, houses that have signs of habitation but no one is living in them."

"What do you want to say?" She put down the book and pressed her fingertips several times in her pocket.

"You can choose to pause the recording next, and it will be a secret between the two of us. This is a gamble, do you dare to try it?"

Chen Qing tilted his body and asked her with a smile.

"Did you see it?"

"This is what I used when I was the leader of the routine group."

She took a deep breath and nodded.

"Why."

"Someone was missing this morning. You received a report, so you came to find me."

"is that so."

"He died in front of me."

She was stunned.

"He died in front of me, so when you told me he was missing, I actually knew it."

"Then what?"

"Then after an afternoon, you all forgot. You forgot why you came, and his family should forget why there was that room. All traces of him are still there, but everyone will forget him. It's like neglecting Like a blade of grass.”

"You tell me this..."

"It's because I discovered that there are many people like him, and I think it's so pitiful that they died. And I have some clues, and I want to be a good person."

Chen Qing smiled and stirred the drink in front of him.

Jiang Wan frowned and looked down at the table.

"What's your answer? If it's in an official capacity, I'm afraid I can't conduct an investigation."

"So you want me to go with you?"

He nodded: "It's naturally better to have a police officer who shows off his face but is worried about the students."

"Haha. You really don't feel like a student to me."

"What a coincidence." Chen Qing shrugged: "Many people have said so, and what's even more coincidental is that I think so too."

"Where's your clue?"

Chen Qing pointed behind her, where the hospital door was lit.

"Here it is."

"This?" She smiled: "You don't want to tell me that someone hypnotized us, do you?"

"It's really there." Chen Qing pointed behind her without moving and repeated what he said.

"Are you serious?" She stopped laughing.

"Many things may not be as complicated as you think." Chen Qing shook his head and said, "For example, excessive intake of ether can cause short-term amnesia.

In fact, it’s not that you can’t think of it, it’s just that you can’t believe it. "

Jiang Wan was silent for a while, seemingly convinced. "So what did you find."

"In half an hour, thirty-two ambulances drove in and thirty-two came out."

"Number of people?"

"There are seven people in each car, and one person comes out."

She was silent and touched the hard thing on her waist.

"Will I accompany you in my personal capacity?"

"Of course. Do you dare to take a risk with the young man?" He smiled and looked at the person in front of him.

"I often climbed over the wall when I was in class at the Search Institute!"

The young man looked at her and smiled, then gently buckled a device in his hand.

"Let's go?"

"What did you close?"

"Small EMP, can't record sound."

Her expression changed, but she suddenly smiled.

"This is good news?"

"At least it's good news for what we're going to do next."

They talked softly, and their figures walked from one end of the street to the other like passers-by.

After they reached a corner, they waited for a few minutes, then followed the opposite road from whence they came, heading around to the back door of the hospital.

"This is a residential area, and beyond this wall is the hospital."

She glanced at Chen Qing, a little disgusted: "Do you want me to help you? Students like you may say they are used to climbing over walls, but in fact they are all semi-disabled."

He shook his head, raised his arms slightly on the wall, and turned his entire body over with his fingertips.

But when he landed, Chen Qing's brows furrowed a little.

"It should be fine..."

He was silent for a moment, and Jiang Wan's body turned over.

It's too much to be faster than him.

"Where should we start investigating next?"

He pointed to the garage: "The shooting range of this signal's camera is 270 degrees, almost no blind spots. We have to destroy it from the back to get in."

As soon as he finished speaking, his body had already moved forward from the shadows. After installing the device, he returned to Jiang Wan.

"Now I believe that what you said will not be photographed."

She looked at the other person, but didn't say anything more.

The two of them entered the hospital's garage in silence.

There were dozens of ambulances lined up neatly there. He quietly reached for them, pulled the latch on the back of the door with his fingers in the darkness, and hid sideways in the door.

There was a person standing next to the young man, watching the dark figure flashing up and down in the night; she looked at that person, thinking in her heart.

"What are you looking for."

He looked at the thing in his hand, and the more he looked at it, the more confused he became.

"The LEDs are turned on, a dozen sedative drops, and two rows of reused needles. Is this a hospital? Are you kidding? The slaughterhouse downstairs from my house is more hygienic than this."

Jiang Wan's expression changed and she rushed to Chen Qing's side.

"With this dosage...how could the red bottle of medicine...the medicine bottle be discarded directly in the car?!"

Chen Qing was stunned for a moment, and then realized that the medicine bottle in his hand was red.

"Ouch."

"You're probably looking in the right place."

She frowned, even though she couldn't see clearly at night.

"what's next?"

"Look for it, if the situation is similar to before..."

Before Chen Qing finished speaking, the door outside the garage opened.

Their hearts skipped a beat, and they instantly pulled up the ambulance cover to cover themselves.

As soon as they hid, the garage door opened.

But as the lights came on and then off, for a full three minutes, the entire garage was eerily silent.

Jiang Wanbi blinked, but she saw what Chen Qing was staring at from beginning to end.

It wasn't until the lights went out again that Chen Qing lifted the cover and said to Jiang Wan: "Let's go, the entrance is where the tool box is."

Before Jiang Wan could react, her body followed Chen Qing and ran out of the ambulance.

They walked side by side, standing sideways against the wall. After three to five seconds of study, Chen Qing pulled a tool, and the inside of the cabinet door immediately retracted and expanded.

"you saw it?"

She frowned.

"Well, I can see the rearview mirror of the ambulance from my position." Chen Qing was silent for a moment: "They did it on purpose. Those people lying in the car... can look at themselves far away from home through the rearview mirror. direction."

"madman."

"It's quite artistic." Chen Qing smiled and gestured to Jiang Wan to go first as a lady.

Jiang Wan rolled her eyes at him, but did not shirk away. She touched the hard object on her waist, and a certain mechanism had been quietly pressed.

"This place has a strong smell of blood."

He followed him all the way, and the two of them walked down hundreds of steps.

"The smell is getting stronger...something's wrong. There's also a rotten smell."

She frowned, and the gun on her waist was no longer hidden at this moment.

"Someone died." She said before she finished speaking.

"A lot of people died," he said, pointing ahead.

They looked at the end of the stairs, in the arched hall, where hundreds of corpses were quietly hanging.

They were dried, skin and flesh connected to fragile bones.

They are watching, staring at the creatures coming here.

Chen Qing was stunned. He felt the subtle warmth in his pocket.

"This...is the back room."

He whispered, his fingertips touching the triangular symbol on the armrest.

"This...is the back room I've been to."
