“Recently, the Ministry of Public Security has solved a major disappearance case, and all the missing persons have been found except for a female student.
The Black Cat Bar was closed due to an accident a month ago, and people continued to disappear in the following month. The last monitored location of these missing persons was near the Black Cat Bar. After a week of investigation, the Public Security Department has no clue as to the whereabouts of the missing persons. No clue.
But yesterday, people who had disappeared appeared collectively, and none of them remembered what happened. The only common clue was that they all woke up inside the abandoned Black Cat Bar.
These missing persons had no external injuries and their mental condition was completely normal. Most of them had returned home after simple questioning.
Currently, the Department of Public Security is trying its best to find out the inside story of the disappearance, but it seems that they do not want to reveal more information. This is a deceptive behavior that is hidden from the public.
However, our reporter will investigate to the end, so stay tuned for the next development of the situation. "
Beep——
Jin turned off the screen projection with an ugly expression: "I told you not to give any information to these media. This disappearance case is unusual and has a lot to do with the previous phenomena that we cannot explain. We don't want to expand the public's awareness of this matter. focus on."
Ike was a little helpless: "We actually followed the way we dealt with the media in the past, but the parent company that reported this news is Philip. You know, we have always had nothing to do with them."
Philip Company controls every aspect of people's lives, and even some of the facilities of the Ministry of Public Security are produced by them. Without enough reasons to convince Philip Company, they have no power to prevent media workers from reporting such events.
Jin slammed the table: "Damn it."
"Captain, calm down a little."
Jin took a deep breath, his emotions almost lost control just now.
Philip Company is always like this, causing trouble for them in various places. The spread of some things is not good for the people and social stability, but Philip Company is afraid that the matter will not cause enough trouble and acts without considering the consequences.
The most important thing is that what they did is completely legal. The Public Security Department cannot sanction them until the Utopia system issues a warning.
"Sooner or later I will find out what they are doing." Jin rubbed his forehead. "Have you obtained any information from those missing persons?"
Ike shook his head: "Everyone's confessions were exactly the same. Their memories after waking up were of lying inside the Black Cat Bar. However, everyone said that they had seen a black cat before, and then lost it. Awareness.”
"We retrieved the records stored in the terminals in their brains, and it is indeed the same as what they said."
"but--"
Ike transmitted an image to Jin.
The image content is of a person from different angles. The person is tall and wearing a simple short-sleeved shirt, standing in the center of the Black Cat Bar.
"This person was found in the brain video records of many missing persons. He was also a victim of the disappearance, but he was lucky. As soon as he arrived at the Black Cat Bar, the incident ended inexplicably."
Jin nodded. He glanced at this person inadvertently, and then looked at him seriously again: "This person looks familiar... I remember that he also appeared in the two previous incidents?"
Ike nodded: "At least this is the third time I have seen this person. There is nothing suspicious about his record. However, this person does not have a brain terminal installed due to his physical condition, so he comes every other month. A Sheriff’s Department psychiatric test.”
"So this is a person who often comes to our place as a guest. He should be very familiar with our work style. Please find time to invite him over and ask him in detail." Jin said. "It's not a good thing to always appear at the scene of an incident. Either this person is particularly unlucky, or this person is inseparable from the incident itself."
"Three incidents, different victims, different networks, Team Jin, do you think this person has such a wide circle?"
"I didn't say that, but don't miss a clue."
"Yes, Team Jin." Ike nodded. "But it's good to be able to find those missing people in the Black Cat Bar Disappearance Case. We almost gave up before."
"No one remembers what happened, and the Ministry of Public Security has not been able to find out at all. This is simply a provocation." Jin said with a face. "Also, I suspect this incident is of the same nature as the apartment hospital situation, but we haven't found the evidence yet."
"There are no dead either," Ike added. "If there are no dead people, it shouldn't be considered a property, right?"
"Failure to find the deceased does not mean that there is no deceased. This may require us to further dig up information. And hasn't the missing female student not been found yet?"
"Yes, preliminary investigation shows that there is an inextricable relationship between the female student and the five missing people. We are gradually investigating with these people as the core." Ike glanced at the report and then looked at the time. .
It's almost time to get off work.
"And there was an incident where the tax department came to us and asked us specifically for news about the office worker named Hinton."
"The Department of Taxation and we have always been on the same page. Why do they want to ask us for information about the people involved in the case?" Jin was confused.
"The Department of Taxation told us that this person seemed to be involved in a tax case, but they have never found any evidence, and they are unwilling to disclose the details."
"Yeah." Jin nodded. "Do not disclose our case information to anyone, not even the tax department. If they must ask for this information, please follow the formal procedures to apply."
"That's what I told them, but they said that the case has been closed, but they suspect there is an inside story, but after the case is closed, the case cannot be overturned without conclusive evidence."

After Ji Le returned home, he immediately started sorting out materials related to late-night bars.
Since he did not get the supplementary card directly, he had to sort out and restore the various information himself. Compared with the system automatically extracting the content from the game's secondary card, Ji Le's efficiency is much slower, but he can add some of his own ideas more freely.
"Wonderful World" has not yet added networking capabilities, so multiplayer games like those played in bars late at night are not suitable for full reproduction into the game - at least, in Ji Le's view, the fun of that game is to play against real people. , instead of competing with the system AI in a battle of wits and courage.
So he decided to change the process.
"The goal of the mission is still to find out other people's information, but the role that the player has to play can be not the guest, but the bartender. Let the bartender mix drinks for the guests. In the process, they can find out the guests' biggest secrets, and at the same time, they have to face a huge Dangerous risks.”
