After realizing there was a problem, Tang Jiumin's frown never relaxed.
He needs more evidence to verify his judgment.
The photos I took out of caution before finally came in handy now.
The recording tablet appears in hand.
The above is the backup map I took before leaving the auditorium.
really!
The difference between the two maps is obvious.
The so-called three forgotten residents happened to be circled together, with strange names written next to them.
Ji Kun.
In my memory, this is a strange existence.
Suspicion flashed in Tang Jiumin's eyes, and he subconsciously glanced deeper into the auditorium.
Then he turned to Liu Ziyun and handed out the tablet.
"Take a look." Seeing the person take it, he raised his chin and asked in a deep voice: "Do you have any impression?"
"What impression?" Liu Ziyun obviously hadn't reacted yet after seeing the map photo.
However, when he lowered his head and took a closer look, he suddenly exclaimed in a low voice.
"This is……?!"
The sudden name was too bizarre, and it took a while before Liu Ziyun raised his head.
He had looked as normal just a moment ago, but now there were beads of sweat on his forehead, and he was probably in a turmoil inside.
"I'm pretty sure I don't remember this person, absolutely not..."
How can it be! Missed someone for no reason?
You know, as a police officer on the border, Liu Ziyun often memorizes the faces of wanted criminals and has a very strong memory.
But this was the reason why Tang Jiumin came to him for confirmation.
He took the tablet back and tapped the edge of the metal frame with his fingers.
interesting.
There are two possibilities, either the tablet photo has been modified, or the desktop map and everyone's memory have been tampered with.
One thing that can be confirmed is that the rules of the Disaster Island system are very protective of personal backpacks.
According to the current known information, the trial world should not be able to interfere with the backpack.
So he prefers the second possibility.
"Check the props you prepared for the newcomers."
Tang Jiumin raised his head and ordered Liu Ziyun who was still thinking about what was wrong.
"Okay." The latter immediately obeyed.
Soon, more than ten seconds passed, and Liu Ziyun's expression changed from shocked to weird.
"A total of 24 sets are missing..."
Tang Jiumin looked at the map, then at the map photo, and lowered his eyes slightly.
Clear.
Something struck them hard.
Tablet is correct.
What was wrong was the memories of all of them, and the map.
"Awesome, I almost missed it." Unexpectedly, Tang Jiumin's tone was full of playfulness, "Look, we are missing someone without knowing it."
Next to him, Liu Ziyun was not in such a good mood. Instead, he picked up the map, tablet and compared it again and again with the props in his backpack.
Unfortunately, the outcome will not change.
After a while, he sat down slumped and accepted the reality.
And in the silence, the feeling of being unable to control is even worse.
After a long time, it seemed that he could not continue like this. Liu Ziyun said nervously:
"what should we do?"
Without waiting for the person in front of him to answer, he continued: "Um, Ji, Ji Kun. What should we do if he disappears?"
Teammates who exist but have no relevant memories are like strangers.
Even when I read my name at this moment, it's a bit difficult to pronounce.
"We need to go take a look." Tang Jiumin glanced at the map and said with certainty, "If our memories are tampered with while killing people, it only means that this death is very important."
When the other party said this, Liu Ziyun, who was concerned about the newcomer's safety, hesitated.
From this tone, that person...is dead.
He did not doubt Tang Jiumin's judgment, especially his tone was so determined.
But, is this really safe?
"Could it be a trap?"
After thinking about it, Liu Ziyun rarely supported action.
But Tang Jiumin spread his hands indifferently, half-smiling, "It's very possible, but we must go."
"Time, intelligence, combat power, no one has an advantage, we must hold on to the clues."
"...Understood." After saying this, Liu Ziyun stood up immediately, "I'll tell the newcomer that you arrange for the old man to make preparations."
In the auditorium, the newlyweds were gathering in twos and threes in the corner by the window, each finding a relatively comfortable space to rest.
But when Liu Ziyun came over and dropped this shocking thunder, the quiet atmosphere suddenly exploded.
"One person is missing? How is that possible? Are you, are you kidding?"
Liang Kewei, who had just leaned against the wall and closed his eyes, was the first to scream.
Next to them, the fishermen couple also muttered in panic, shaking their heads in astonishment.
Their reaction represents the majority of people.
With the missing memory, no one knew the so-called Ji Kun.
Now tell them that this man is dead, or did he come with them?
Nonsense, right?
Liu Ziyun looked at the people with mixed reactions, distrust and panic on their faces, and rarely sighed in his heart.
Sure enough, the memory has been tampered with.
"Quiet, it's true"
Without time to wait for these people to discuss, he directly told everyone the evidence one by one and told them the importance of finding Ji Kun.
On the other side, Tang Jiumin first asked Cheng Zhi to call E Sihui back.
Then, he turned to look at Yefim who was guarding not far from the cabinet.
The latter was holding a knife and guarding not far from the cabinet to prevent Zhang Tiandao from having any accidents during his research.
Seeing Tang Jiumin approaching, the Taoist priest immediately came over and complained:
"Captain, there isn't that thing in the cabinet, but it has been possessed after all, so throw it away. It's scary..."
"Just let Yefim find a place to burn it, but is it scary?" Tang Jiumin nodded, then patted Zhang Tiandao on the shoulder, "There is something more scary, do you want to hear it?"
ah?
After a while, several people learned about Ji Kun.
As Liu Ziyun's words were almost finished, people on both sides met and left the auditorium together again.
This time, the atmosphere in the team was obviously very depressing.
Especially the newcomers who had just learned the news looked heavy.
Even the bold Hao Gang, Hao Tie, and Wei Jianye, who are experts in art, are no exception.
Following behind the old men, Hao Gang was thinking deeply and wrapping a cloth strip around the barrel of his gun out of habit.
He raised his head and looked in front of him, then looked at his trembling brother next to him, and subconsciously clenched his fists.
It can actually make everyone forget the existence of a teammate.
This kind of skill is definitely not something that ordinary beings can do.
I thought the danger was not high and I could handle it with caution.
But now, there is no certainty.
No matter what, he had to collect the remnants of his thoughts as soon as possible to at least ensure that he left safely.
With thoughts like Hao Gang's, the newlyweds were speechless all the way.
Fortunately, Ji Kun's search area is near the auditorium, so the silence will not last long.
At the front of the team, Tang Jiumin was holding a map and thinking and analyzing.
Three families, one couple, make a living by drying dry tobacco leaves. The structural features are obvious and can be seen from the outside.
The second family lives alone. Judging from the map label, we can know that the protagonist of this family is most likely a painter.
In the last family, several generations live together. The male owner should be a cook. All kinds of utensils, iron pots, etc. are hung on the walls and can be seen through the windows.
It has to be said that the three companies Ji Kun searched for have obvious characteristics.
So what happened to him?
Tang Jiumin's thoughts passed through his mind and he looked at the sky.
Although the weather was fine at this time, the time was relatively late.
If you search door to door, you may not be able to finish the search until it gets dark.
"Liu Ziyun, take Zeng Xuebin and the students together to search the cook's house."
"Hao Gang, Hao Tie, Wei Jianye, Zhao Guangcai and Lu Ping, follow me to search for dry tobacco."
"Cheng Zhi'e Sihui will take the rest of them to the last house."
"It's getting late, we'll work in groups, and we'll be contacted by the communicator." Putting away the map, Tang Jiumin took the people away without wasting any time.
Three homes are located near the auditorium, in the center of the town.
Although it was not as good as the wealthy family that Tang Jiumin burned before, it was quite good compared to others.
As soon as I got close to the door, I could smell a faint smell of tobacco.
It smells like a mixture of asphalt and grease, a bit pungent, but not that smelly. On the contrary, it has the unique aroma of tobacco.
The moment he opened the door, the smell emanating from inside became even stronger.
Tang Jiumin paused slightly, then stepped into the courtyard.
As expected, he is a tobacco farmer.
There are many wooden shelves set up in the yard, and many long strips of completely dried tobacco leaves are hung on them.
Hao Tie was the first to point to the tobacco leaves and ask:
"That's not right. When we went to Orion's house before, those animal carcasses had long since rotted away. How come this thing is still in good condition?"
"This is not meat." When people are nervous, they need to speak even more. Zhao Guangcai glanced at it and took over the conversation, "As long as the tobacco leaves are dried in the sun, they can be stored for a long time."
While the two were asking questions, Tang Jiumin walked to one of the wooden frames and lowered his head to look at it.
The wooden frame, especially around the edge, was obviously dusty, with a full layer of gray and black dirt.
He leaned closer but didn't make contact.
The closer he got, the stronger smell of fat tobacco leaves hit his face.
After getting the answer he wanted, Tang Jiumin walked to the middle of the yard and looked at the brick house located deep inside.
Compared with other bungalows they had seen, there was nothing special except that they were larger.
Perhaps in order to enhance lighting, the entire yard has a certain slope. As a result, the brick houses in the depths are built more than two meters higher than ordinary houses.
After carefully checking the left and right sides and confirming that there was nothing wrong, Tang Jiumin opened the door directly.
As soon as I entered the main hall, I found several old-fashioned smoking guns on a shelf.
Looking at the neat appearance, it seems that no one has been here.
"It looks good." Wei Jianye muttered a few times and took out one of the sticks.
As an old smoker, he knows that dry tobacco can still taste so good after being dried for a long time, and the quality is definitely good.
So, while Tang Jiumin was searching inside, the man took away the cloth bag and collected the processed tobacco that was placed aside.
Soon, three packs of good-quality tobacco were placed deep in the conscious backpack.
Wei Jianye also stopped in time and followed the direction of a few people to the door of the inner room.
Tang Jiumin was seen coming to the bedside and holding up an old-fashioned account book.
At the door, Wei Jianye didn't step forward because he was just a few steps behind.
Hao Gang, on the other hand, was standing next to Tang Jiumin. He took advantage of his convenience to look at the account book and read it subconsciously.
Back after two days of rest!
