To tell the truth, Jiang Yue did care about his family, but he did not lose control.
During the trip to Panshiling, Jiang Yue got the biggest revelation: Lao Jiang's family is definitely not that easy to lose heart.
On the high side, there were two trusted members, plus Master Liu and his female assistant, a total of five people.
On Jiang Yue's side, there were four.
It can be seen that the relationship between Luo Chu's Operations Division 3 and Director Gao's Operations Division 5 is obviously very bad. Even among the team members, there is some vague antagonism.
This can be judged from the interaction between Yang Cong and the other two team members. Their noses are not noses, and their eyes are not eyes.
Gao Chu obviously didn't have a good attitude toward Luo Chu either.
If nothing else, there was no reservation at all in what they said to each other. Every word carries a gun, every sentence carries a stick.
"Old Gao, okay! With the help of a master, I am really brave. However, if we handle cases like you do, our bureau's funds cannot support it. If we go in for a long walk, it will cost tens of millions. Oh, I If you’re not good at math, who will calculate the appearance fee?”
"I can calculate, I can calculate. One minute is 300,000 yuan, and one hour is 18 million. If the master walks around for more than six hours, the appearance fee will be over 100 million." After all, Sangou is close to having a primary school diploma. Yes, you can still do this multiplication.
After finishing the calculation, I didn’t forget to comment.
"Second brother, is it so profitable to be a magician? I want to change my career, is it too late?"
Jiang Yue chuckled: "Do you have a little golden man? Do you have a big gold watch? Do you have big sunglasses?"
"Without these, you still can't be a magic stick?" Sangou was disappointed.
Master Liu on the side had a dull expression, and his mental quality seemed to be excellent. The two brothers were joking about each other, but he didn't seem to take it to heart.
Quite a bit of a master's mind.
Director Gao, on the other hand, said coldly: "Lao Luo, Master Liu was invited by me, so your people should be more respectful."
Luo Chu smiled: "You all know that you invited me here, not me. Besides, Xiao Jiang is my friend, not my subordinate. I can't keep my mouth shut about what others want to say, right?"
Master Liu suddenly smiled strangely: "It's not in the way, it's not in the way. Since ancient times, trouble has come from the mouth. I, Mr. Liu, am a moral man and will not care about them. However, if I enter the Ten Jue Death Land, if I can't control my mouth, If you stay here, you'll get into trouble every minute, and you don't know how you'll die by then."
As he spoke, he compared the compass in his hand with the sky.
Seeing the serious and serious look on Master Liu's face, Jiang Yue didn't know for a moment how much background he had.
He didn't care about the other party's mysterious suit and walked towards one of the entrances.
"etc!"
Master Liu suddenly shouted.
"What?" Luo Chu said with a smile, "Master, what advice do you have?"
"That entrance leads to the underground parking lot. It is the most terrifying and dangerous forbidden area in the Ten Jue Death Lands. Are you sure you want to go in there?"
The underground parking lot is built underground. From a metaphysical point of view, it is more claustrophobic and gloomy. Generally speaking, ghost houses are built underground.
Therefore, when building an underground parking lot, some Feng Shui layouts must be made to offset and isolate the Yin Qi when construction begins.
But despite this, underground projects are always relatively bleak.
Therefore, many strange events often occur in underground parking lots and similar underground worlds.
"What does Master mean?" Luo Chu asked with a smile.
"God has a good life. Although you guys make me a little dissatisfied, after all, I can't just watch you die. Forget it, you guys, follow me. I can't guarantee that I can keep you safe. , but it’s better than you taking the initiative to die!”
Although Master Liu smells like copper, he seems to be a moral man, with a sense of pity and pity.
Gao Guang snorted coldly but did not object.
Jiang Yue suddenly said: "Forget it. There is a saying that goes well, put it to death and then live. There is no absolute death in the world, even if it is a dead end, there will always be a glimmer of hope. On the contrary, Master, your gold watch It was so dazzling that I couldn’t even open my eyes. I was afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I have also heard an old saying, reaching out for money in the coffin. I heard that those ghosts and evil spirits are just like us humans, they are also greedy for money. You are so glittering and rich, I am afraid that if you follow the master, you will be It’s easier for ghosts to miss you.”
"Pfft!" Luo Chu laughed like a pig.
This Xiaojiang is a bad person. He doesn't use curse words when he curses people, but every word hurts his heart. Isn't this an obvious irony that the other party is blinded by money and reeks of copper?
Master Liu still didn't get angry, and murmured: "It's stubborn, it's not working, it's stubborn."
Then he said to Gao Guang: "Since they are determined to die, I have nothing more to say. Gao Guang, let's go in through this door."
As he spoke, Master Liu's compass seemed to have located something, and pointed in a direction, which was the south gate of the mall.
Gao Guang snorted coldly: "That's right, I don't want those unscrupulous people to follow. Who knows whether they are humans or ghosts!"
Luo Chu chuckled and didn't actually refute.
After they took a few steps, he suddenly said: "Master, one last question, your appearance fee is so expensive, does Lao Gao get any kickbacks?"
Master Liu's palace is very deep and his cultivation is very good.
No matter how much Luo Chu and Jiang Yue provoked him, he never fell out of favor and always maintained the magnanimity of a Taoist master.
The hair was blown high.
"Lao Luo, you can eat as much as you want, but don't talk nonsense. What evidence do you have that I will take kickbacks?"
Luo Chu looked innocent: "I have no evidence, so I asked Master Liu. I didn't ask you, so why are you so excited? You don't really have any problems, do you?"
"I'm warning you, don't spit on anyone!"
"Since there's no problem, why are you so excited?" Luo Chu shrugged, with a strange look on his face.
Master Liu stopped Gao Guang: "Let's go, with a few people who are about to die, why bother to show off your words?"
A dying person?
Jiang Yue smiled coldly, it was hard to say who was about to die.
After watching them enter the door, Jiang Yue said: "Come on, let's take a detour. There should be a west gate over there. Let's go in through the west gate."
"Don't take the underground passage?" Luo Chu was surprised.
"I was just bluffing them to see if this Master Liu has real talent or knowledge."
"Then what?" Luo Chu was curious.
"You can't tell the difference. If this master doesn't have real talent and knowledge, he is definitely at the level of an actor. Those actor actors on TV are just scum compared to him." Jiang Yue said matter-of-factly.
"What kind of bullshit master? I think he is just a magician who cheats money. If he really enters any of the ten most dangerous places, this kind of magician will be the first to die!"
Sangou couldn't be more angry.
I, Mr. Sangou, was gifted with yin and yang eyes, and now I am still a man who relies on my ancestral fate. I show up for free. You, a magician, charge so much?
I have to say that after the calculation just now, that number made Sangou extremely unbalanced.
A group of four people quickly walked around to the west gate.
The west door is not locked, it is a glass sliding door common in shopping malls.
Apparently, the mall was still open when the incident occurred, and all doors were open.
This status has remained unchanged until now.
However, after walking through the glass door, passing through a curtain, and passing through a fire escape, the group of four finally entered the mall.
Jiang Yue took out his cell phone and looked at it.
Sure enough, after entering the mall, the mobile phone signal was lost.
Jiang Yue backed out of the original path and walked ten meters out of the mall, and the signal was restored again.
After going in and out like this several times in a row, Jiang Yue was sure that there was no signal only in the shopping mall.
Sangou and Luo Chu both looked strange. To test the mobile phone signal, do you need to go in and out a few times?
"Luo Chu, did you find anything?"
Luo Chu shook his head: "Why do you feel everything is normal? Except that there is no one around, I don't see any problems."
Sangou also followed suit: "I didn't see anything either."
There really isn't anything weird about it.
Jiang Yue's feeling was the same as that of Luo Chu Sangou, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Jiang Yue didn't even feel the slightest bit of death energy in Master Liu's so-called Ten Ultimate Places of Death.
This point is obviously different from Yunxi Town and Panshiling.
When I first entered Yunxi Town, I didn't notice anything unusual at first, but the weird atmosphere that enveloped everything was everywhere.
Not to mention Panshiling and Jiuliting.
Wherever ghosts gather, even if the ghosts are well hidden, with Jiang Yue's current weird sensitivity, he can always find clues.
However, Jiang Yue found no clues in Yunshan Times Square.
Sangou, with his God-given yin and yang eyes, also couldn't see anything interesting.
"Could it be that there is a more terrifying ghost lurking in this shopping mall? It can actually contain its aura to a seamless level?"
If such a terrifying ghost really exists, then the other party's terrifying level will definitely not be inferior to that old Yin Coin from Zhao Shouyin.
Luo Chu was about to lead everyone towards the opposite side.
Jiang Yue stopped him: "Luo Chu, don't worry, let's avoid Master Liu and the others and try not to face them."
Strangely enough, Master Liu and the others entered the mall from the south gate. Although the mall was supposedly large, it was empty after all.
Even if the two groups of people entered from different doors, they would easily meet once they entered the mall. After all, there was no line of sight between the two of them.
The strange thing is that Master Liu and his group of five entered the first floor of the shopping mall from the south gate, and Jiang Yue and the others entered the first floor from the west gate. The two groups did not meet each other, and they did not even hear each other's movements.
Regarding this, Jiang Yue's first thought was what happened to the Jiang Family Ancestral Hall.
He and Sangou entered the lobby of the Jiang Family Ancestral Hall at the same time, but the two of them were strangely not together.
Early the next morning, Sangou said that he had been in the lobby all night.
And he, Jiang Yue, was also in the lobby one night.
Sangou said he saw his grandfather, and Jiang Yue also saw his grandfather.
It's as if two people have entered two completely different parallel times and spaces.
Is this the same situation in this mall?
However, after Jiang Yue observed it for a while, it didn't seem like it. There seems to be no sense of mystery in the spatial world in front of you.
So, where are the five living people on the other side?
Through gestures, Jiang Yue signaled Luo Chu and the others to go upstairs.
In the entire shopping mall, the ground engineering is actually the fourth floor.
The main area is only on the third floor. There is nothing else on the fourth floor except a large cinema and a VR experience hall.
The escalators in shopping malls are actually still working, but they are relatively static when there are no people around.
Jiang Yue did not take the elevator, but chose the fire stairs.
A group of four people arrived on the second floor, but still found no one. All merchants in the mall are open.
The shops on the second floor mainly focus on clothing, including men's, women's and children's clothing, as well as some other specialty boutiques, and of course a few jewelry shops.
Except for the absence of people, every other detail is like normal business.
There didn't seem to be any signs of a fight at the scene.
It was as if the entire mall had disappeared out of thin air.
Luo Chu stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
Any strange incident, as long as you are willing to dig carefully, you can always find some clues.
However, he just went through many details and found no useful clues.
There is nothing weird about it, but it seems even weirder.
Jiang Yue walked slowly along the way. Every time he passed a store, his eyes searched everywhere, not missing any detail.
Suddenly, Jiang Yue stopped.
To be precise, he stopped in front of a women's clothing store.
His eyes stopped on a pot of green plants.
This is a pot of pothos, a quite common green plant. Many newly renovated work and home decorations will put a few pots of pothos, which is said to absorb formaldehyde.
Of course, that's not the point.
The point is, Jiang Yue discovered something among the lush green vine leaves.
This thing is actually familiar to him!
A women's watch, the workmanship is quite exquisite, the style is good-looking, but it is not a luxury watch, it is just an ordinary domestic brand that costs a few hundred yuan.
The most important thing is that this watch looks very familiar to Jiang Yue.
A year ago, on my sister’s birthday, her best friend gave her a watch of the same style.
And the one in front of me is clearly my sister's watch.
The hands of the watch are still ticking and running well as usual.
"Xiao Jiang, what did you find?"
"This is my sister's watch." Jiang Yue's face looked gloomy.
According to Jiang Yue's observation, this watch was definitely not left here, but was specially picked off by his sister and placed in the green radish bush.
In other words, it is very likely that something happened to my sister and the others in this store.
But what could happen?
If it was an emergency, wouldn't there be time to take off the watch calmly and put it in the pothos bush without being discovered?
This shows that under the circumstances, my sister at least still had plenty of time.
Many strange events before, whether it was year eaters, replicators, or evil spirits harming people, were basically caught off guard.
The victim is never given any time to react, let alone take off his watch calmly.
Moreover, judging from the scene, it was obvious that no fierce fighting took place here.
With the temperament of my sister and sister-in-law, even if they encounter a dangerous situation, it is impossible not to resist frantically. Both of them are the kind of masters who would risk their lives without necessarily giving in.
Jiang Yue had no doubt about this.
Lao Jiang's family is so tough.
But why wasn't there a fight?
The opportunity to take off the watch shows that personal freedom was not completely lost at that time.
If a ghost restricts personal freedom, it will never give you time to take off your watch, let alone hide it from these ghosts.
But if it weren't for ghosts, it would be obviously impossible to kill everyone without damaging the scene at all.
After all, at that time, there were at least a few hundred people in the mall!
If you want to kill hundreds of people at the same time, how much noise will you make? The scene was by no means out of control at all.
Luo Chu suddenly waved his hand: "Xiao Jiang, come here and take a look."
Jiang Yue walked over and Luo Chu stopped in a fitting room.
"Look at this fitting room. There is a clear difference between this fitting room and several other fitting rooms."
Jiang Yue compared them and immediately noticed the difference.
The door of the fitting room that Luo Chu pointed out was just a wooden board with some neat depressions in the middle. It was obvious that there should be a fitting mirror above it.
Because the doors of several other fitting rooms are equipped with fitting mirrors.
"Xiaojiang, this sunken part must be a fitting mirror. Moreover, this fitting mirror must have been broken in a short period of time and was cleaned up."
Jiang Yue nodded.
It can be clearly seen that the exposed wood in the missing part of the dressing mirror is very new, and there are no daily stains on it.
"Huh? There seems to be blood stains on it?"
Next to the fitting room, there was a row of exquisite women's clothing hanging on the shelves, which looked normal.
Luo Chu pointed to one of the gauze skirts and told Yang Cong: "Cut off the sleeves of this skirt."
Yang Cong wore white gloves, took out the tools for handling the case, and carefully followed Luo Chu's instructions. He took off the sleeve and put it into the sampling bag.
Except for a little suspected blood stain on the sleeve, several people checked around for a long time and found nothing else.
If it was a blood stain, it shouldn't be just here.
Looking at this scene, there is no second clue to prove it.
No stains can be found on the walls, ceiling, or floor.
etc……
Luo Chu suddenly stopped and said, "Xiao Jiang, the floor here is very clean. It's still business hours at nine o'clock in the evening. How come the floor is so smooth and spotless? The floors of the stores we walked through before seemed to be stained. Not so neat?"
Almost at the same time that Luo Chu spoke, Jiang Yue noticed this.
"What we saw is by no means the first scene. This place must have been tidied up!"
Luo Chu looked around and saw that there were several surveillance cameras in the store.
The surveillance in the store can definitely be viewed by the computer in the store.
Luo Chu walked to the computer and motioned to Yang Cong to collect fingerprints on the mouse and the table first.
Yang Cong stepped forward and then said with a grimace: "Luo Chu, the fingerprints on this mouse have been wiped by someone, and there is nothing left."
Luo Chu didn't seem surprised at all.
He sighed: "I estimate that the monitoring in the computer must have been deleted as well."
Indeed, as Luo Chu guessed, not only were the monitoring records deleted, but the real-time monitoring was also obviously sabotaged and no longer worked.
This is a little unusual.
What kind of monster is responsible for this crime?
Do monsters grow so fast? Have you learned how to counter reconnaissance? If we continue to grow at this rate, wouldn't the future of mankind become even more pessimistic?
Just thinking about it.
The computer screen suddenly went black.
The lights in the store also went out at the same time.
All electricity-related equipment suddenly stopped functioning.
The power is out!
Fortunately, it's broad daylight, so even if all electrical equipment is disabled, there is no problem with lighting. Although the mall is a closed structure, the top floor is a glass structure, so lighting is not a big problem.
Jiang Yue and Luo Chu looked at each other, a little doubtful.
Last night, such a big incident happened, and the power was not even shut off. There is no reason why the mall would be empty the next day and the power would be cut off instead?
Moreover, shouldn’t the electricity supply of each merchant be turned off after closing?
Looking at this neat power outage, it was obvious that the main power supply was turned off, and the power supply to the entire mall was completely cut off.
The power was out, and although it wasn't completely dark, the light was obviously not enough to conduct any further investigation on site.
Just as Luo Chu was about to speak, Jiang Yue suddenly made a gesture.
Signaling others to go to the inner room.
Jiang Yue crouched and lurked behind the cash register.
Footsteps.
Jiang Yue heard slight footsteps, and they were the footsteps of four people.
Although the footsteps were muffled, as if they were tiptoeing to avoid making any sound, Jiang Yue's enhanced body functions allowed his hearing to be several times higher than that of ordinary people.
This deliberately suppressed footsteps could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of ordinary people, but it could not be hidden from Jiang Yue.
The footsteps came from the fire escape on the other side. From the first floor, to the second floor, and then continue to the third floor.
Jiang Yue pricked up his ears and listened for a while, and recognized that the footsteps were indeed coming from Gao Gaofang and Master Liu.
The strange thing is that there are clearly five people in their group, but the footsteps displayed are only four.
Where is the other person?
Are the troops divided into two groups?
This kind of division of troops is obviously unreasonable. Four people will do one thing, and one person will do one thing?
What was even more strange was that when Jiang Yue heard their footsteps, they had just appeared on the first floor.
So where were they before?
If they were in the mall, Jiang Yue would have heard their footsteps long ago.
Jiang Yue suddenly had a thought: "Basement! They must have gone to the basement before!"
This was definitely not a whim. After careful deduction, Jiang Yue was at least 90% sure that these people must have been on the underground floor.
The underground floors and ground floors have stronger sound insulation and are completely isolated. There is no obvious isolation between the buildings on the ground floor, and they are all interconnected and open, so the sound insulation effect is relatively poor.
If these people had been in the mall for such a long time, they wouldn't have encountered each other once, or even heard their voices.
There is only one explanation, they must have been on the underground floor before.
This operation is a bit evil.
Previously, Master Liu kept saying that the underground parking lot was the most dangerous place in the Ten Jue Death Land, and warned them not to enter the mall through the underground opening.
Who would have known that they entered the mall through the south gate and instead took the initiative to go to the underground floor?
No matter how you look at it, there is an air of conspiracy here.
Master Liu was threatening them in all kinds of ways, maybe he didn’t want them to go to the underground floor?
Or is it that Master Liu and Gao Gao hold a grudge against them, thinking that they entered the mall through the underground entrance and were going to the underground floor to trap them?
Various possibilities existed, and it was difficult for Jiang Yue to draw a conclusion.
"Master, these cowards didn't come in, did they?"
By Jiang Yue's ears, he could clearly hear voices from high up.
Although the distance between them was at least dozens of meters away, the voices from higher up were obviously lowering their throats.
Jiang Yue felt a little bit strange. Although the physical functions have been strengthened a lot, when did this hearing become so good?
Master Liu said sadly: "Whether they come in or not, if they offend me, Mr. Liu, their good days will not last long."
