"So this is ah……"
Zhang Tiandao scratched his chin and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
The five newcomers only searched one or two houses and returned early out of fear of the unknown.
But he is different from this group of people. He killed ghosts with the leader and came back early!
"Daozhang Zhang, you came back quickly, did you encounter something?" At this moment, Wang Kui asked.
Immersed in his thoughts, Zhang Tiandao's interest was instantly aroused when he was about to find someone to talk to.
"Of course! Compared with us, you are far behind..."
"Let me tell you, the leader and I..." He cleared his throat and raised his finger to point at Tang Jiumin.
However, just as he was about to speak, he met a pair of warning black eyes.
The sound stopped suddenly.
Someone looked away uncomfortably and touched his nose.
"That, actually...ah, it's about the same..."
"Almost? How is that possible?"
Wang Kui originally wanted to find out the news, but seeing that the Taoist priest couldn't keep his mouth shut, he was not willing to let him go.
But at this moment, with a slightly dull sound, the door of the auditorium opened again.
"Someone is coming, someone is coming!"
As he was wondering what to say, Zhang Tiandao quickly changed the subject.
The whole person rushed over as if running for his life to greet the visitor.
The ones who opened the door were Cheng Zhi and E Sihui.
Not far behind them, Liu Ziyun and Yefim just came back.
Until now, Tang Jiumin finally put down the map and turned his head to look over.
"I'm back earlier than I expected. Let's talk about it."
There was no need to ask for help, and he went directly to the topic. Immediately, his eyes fell on E Sihui, or to be precise, he looked at what he was carrying.
"We encountered some difficulties while searching the house."
Cheng Zhi nodded, cleared his throat and spoke.
"There is a family whose internal structure has changed. Of course, it would be fine if it was just like this, but the real difficulty is this."
After all, after one or two trials, he is not a newcomer who has no ability to protect himself.
She asked E Sihui to put down the things he was carrying.
Everyone looked over and saw that it was a reddish-black wooden bed cabinet.
"This is it. We walked through four or five rooms and we could see this cabinet. At first, we thought it was in every room."
"The truth is, this cabinet has been following us."
Could it be
Upon hearing this, several newcomers' expressions flickered, and Lu Ping hid directly behind Zhao Guangcai.
Cheng Zhi ignored the newcomer's reaction and continued to point to the cabinet on the ground.
"Captain, look at the wooden board of the cabinet. This is what E Sihui found after splitting it open. Blood is flowing out of a piece of furniture..."
"Just because I discovered this, I think it's better to come back first."
After two trials, Cheng Zhi is more capable and sensible than before.
After introducing the situation, he stood aside and stopped talking.
Tang Jiumin looked at the cabinet a few times, but only for a short while, and then looked up at the others.
"Liu Bodhisattva, tell me about your side."
Hearing this, a trace of confusion flashed across Liu Ziyun's determined face.
"We are different. We haven't found any problems or abnormalities along the way."
Although he started to talk, his tone was obviously hesitant because he didn't encounter anything.
Seeing that Cheng Zhi and his team brought back such a strange thing, he almost doubted whether he had ever gone out to search it.
Tang Jiumin couldn't help but glance at him and saw the confusion in the other person's expression.
How interesting.
These two were obviously the most worrying, but in the end they were not in danger at all, and not even the slightest abnormality was discovered.
In a daze, Liu Ziyun turned to ask other people around him.
As a police officer, he may be too short-sighted, but he is good at observing expressions.
Judging from everyone's reactions, I'm afraid they all encountered a lot of trouble.
Sure enough, after asking, this is indeed the case.
But why am I fine?
Liu Ziyun, who couldn't understand, turned his eyes to Zhang Tiandao.
The latter said "Ah" and subconsciously looked at the leader behind him.
Tang Jiumin nodded slightly.
The Taoist priest understood it instantly, smiled and said:
"Officer Liu, don't think too much. This is a good thing. It's not like the leader and I are in danger."
"Fortunately...it went pretty well in the end."
The ambiguous words filled Liu Ziyun's heart with doubts.
But he looked at Tang Jiumin, but didn't choose to ask. Instead, he moved his steps and got busy with other things.
"I'm going to make statistics on the newcomers' situation. It may be helpful for the next action."
With that said, Liu Ziyun called a few newcomers over, casually patted E Sihui on the shoulder, and pointed to the back of the auditorium again.
The latter picked up his things and walked to the back of the auditorium.
His task was naturally to keep an eye on the only native in the auditorium.
The auditorium is empty and there are not many people.
After E Sihui walked away, the only sound left was the sound of Liu Ziyun talking with the newcomer.
The five newcomers may have returned earlier, but Tang Jiu Min's group was not too early.
Time passed quickly, and before the sky turned dark, others returned one after another.
When greeting the returning newcomers, Liu Ziyun was not like Tang Jiumin who refused people thousands of miles away. On the contrary, he was very proactive.
He came forward to communicate with everyone who came back from exploration, including Wei Jianye.
Finally, with the collected information, he went to Tang Jiumin who was analyzing the map.
This person even took notes page by page and handed them directly to the latter.
"I asked them one by one. Except for the old man, everyone is on it. It should be quite detailed."
Tang Jiumin took the note and opened it. A total of 17 newcomers and their situations had been sorted out page by page.
The more valuable clues come from those who come back later.
Wei Jianye independently searched four buildings in the residential area next to the auditorium. It was said that there were no abnormalities.
However, he found remnants of his thoughts from the third resident's home.
On the other side, the two Hao brothers did the same thing. They searched four households and finally found the target in the last one.
What was slightly unexpected was Zeng Xuebin's group.
Without choosing other buildings, the group of people went straight to where they came from. Relying on their familiarity with the environment through previous investigations, they quickly searched the school and several surrounding buildings.
At school, they find two remnants of their thoughts. Among them, there was the one that Tang Jiumin had discovered.
In the surrounding areas, they also found one, which was really a good harvest.
The above three groups of people are either strong enough or united in large numbers.
Unfortunately, among the few remaining people who left alone, only Xiao Rongxiang searched three houses and was lucky enough to find one.
Others performed mediocrely and gained nothing.
The worst among them was Mo Guoliang Kewei... This coward didn't even enter the area he chose.
Tang Jiumin took out the map and started marking each one on the map based on the search results.
Each area belongs to different people or groups, the houses that have been searched and those that have not been searched are marked with distinction, and the buildings with the residue of thoughts are marked in red...
"I said."
While he was busy, Liu Ziyun took the opportunity to look around, leaned closer and asked in a low voice, "How are you doing over there?"
"There is no actual progress, but I have left a big gift, which should slap some beings in the face."
Tang Jiu Min, who was recording the information, didn't even raise his head, and his words were cryptic and difficult to understand.
However, Liu Ziyun, who heard this, nodded knowingly for some reason.
"That's not bad." After saying something incomprehensible, he looked around and continued to whisper: "What's next?"
"Wait, it's a big deal after all. Even if you find a place, it will come back. You can tell everyone to be careful."
With that said, Tang Jiumin, who had completely marked the map, straightened up slightly, held his chin and started calculating along the map with his fingers.
"Okay, okay, I'm going to remind everyone."
If there is anything that needs to be done, Liu Ziyun just lifts up and leaves.
As a result, as soon as he turned around, he was called to where he was.
"Wait a minute." At the table, Tang Jiumin suddenly frowned, "We do need to find a place, but it may not be something we need to be careful about. I'm afraid the other party has already found it."
"What?"
Liu Ziyun was surprised and turned around to approach the map.
Next to him, the man was already lying on the map with a pen.
"No, it's very wrong."
After entering the trial, Tang Jiumin felt unexpected for the first time.
On the map, all the activity areas of 23 people have been marked.
But because of this, there was a point of disharmony.
Lu Si, Xiao Rongxiang, and Pu Daqing each cleared four courtyards.
Among the notes that were handed in, regardless of whether they had time to search or not, they only mentioned three.
lie?
No way, they have no motive to do that.
why……
While thinking about it, they quickly marked the residents they missed.
Um?
Tang Jiumin's right hand suddenly paused.
Three households are adjacent to the auditorium and connected together.
But it was not searched.
The three people who were supposed to be searching for them, at the same time abandoned the near and sought the far away, and forgot about this place together.
Why?
Since it's strange, let's find out first.
"Call someone." Tang Jiumin turned his head and looked at Cheng Zhi, who was waiting not far away, "Xiao Rongxiang, Lu Si, Pu Daqing, these three."
Cheng Zhi quickly stood up after hearing this, glanced at the three people marked on the map, and quickly brought them there.
"Captain, what's wrong?" The three of them were suddenly called over, and the three of them looked puzzled. However, Xiao Rongxiang, who was being questioned for the second time, raised her hand to ask directly.
Out of curiosity, the newcomers in the distance looked here in unison.
"I found some problems that are related to you." Tang Jiumin didn't intend to talk nonsense and directly pointed out the topic, "Now, let's talk about your search process in detail."
After hearing this, the three of them tried hard to recall their actions after leaving the auditorium, and began to speak one after another.
Very detailed and as needed.
But, the accident just happened.
"Where's the fourth family?" As soon as he finished listening to the dictation, Tang Jiumin immediately grasped the doubtful point.
Similar to the notes, except for delineating the search scope, the three of them did not mention the fourth company at all!
The sudden question immediately stunned the three people in front of them.
After a long time, Lu Sicai hesitated and said, "I remember the fourth house, but I forgot it when I searched for it."
forget?
Tang Jiumin turned his head and looked at the other two people.
Sure enough, their answers were similar.
It was all because of time constraints, so I forgot about it.
Naturally, Tang Jiumin could not be convinced by any reason that was too coincidental. He carefully recalled what happened when the three of them drew the map.
Unfortunately, the images in his mind were consistent with what the three said.
Are you wrong?
No, he's not wrong.
Definitely weird!
I'm afraid that thing has found its place again.
Please tell me if there are any typos!
