Law Enforcer's Handbook

Chapter 409 Believe in Science!

Looking at the electronic dossier sent by Lu Xiang, Song Lan also had a difficult time.

In the past few decades, there have been as many as dozens of missing persons who suddenly left the town as if they were bewitched by evil spirits, not to mention other urban ghost stories. It is an area with a high incidence of missing persons, and Lu Xiang's former head of the law enforcement department never cared about these cases, so the whereabouts of these missing persons has become an eternal mystery.

Last night, he subconsciously thought that this was another conspiracy by the company. He guessed that they had tampered with the village head of Yangcun in order to use him to investigate the void, but judging from so many files sent by Lu Xiang, it seemed that things were not that simple .

No matter how powerful the company is, it is impossible to predict that this small town will become the base of Void one day after decades.

Song Lan never expected that his leisure trip to reclaim the farm would suddenly be related to strange stories in the town and dozens of missing persons cases.

He looked through the files again, and found that the identities of the missing persons were various, and they couldn't find any common ground in terms of social identities. The only clue was that they all left the town in a state of sleepwalking, and headed for the city along the same road.

In fact, the same situation happened to the village head of Yangcun as the missing persons, except that he was blocked by a "hunter" on the way. Therefore, a life was recovered, otherwise he would most likely become one of the many missing people now.

In order to answer the doubts in his heart, Song Lan told the three of them to stay in the hotel room today and not to move around, and sent the infected security robot to the third floor to guard them, and then he transferred from the farm next door under construction A transport vehicle carried him and Fengling slowly along the road towards the city.

In 2020, he is a loyal viewer of "Approaching Science". He has always believed that behind those bizarre events, there are often reasons that can be explained by science, but he did not expect that he would personally participate in this program one day.

Now he has to figure out the decades-long mystery of missing people in this small town, otherwise this strange thing will keep haunting his mind, making him unable to sleep well at night.

For this reason, he had to overdraw his psychic power again, spread it out, and observe the surrounding movements in detail. If those missing people didn't encounter aliens who suddenly disappeared halfway, then more or less they might stay along the way. Some clues to come.

When the car drove for several kilometers and came to a relatively steep mountain road, the spreading spiritual energy finally found the traces left by the missing person under the cliff.

They parked the car on the side of the road, and the guardian spirit opened the way in front of them. They went all the way down, and finally found dozens of weathered bones all over the mountain.

The ones farther away walked most of the mountain road, and the ones nearer rolled down the cliff and fell to their deaths just as they climbed the mountain road.

"Someone killed them and left the bodies here?"

After checking the corpses with Song Lan, Fengling asked curiously. She knew that those scattered here were most likely the missing people in the town's strange tales.

"It doesn't look like that." Song Lan shook his head. He has lived with Lu Xiang for so long, and he has learned some knowledge of criminal investigation, "If someone kills them and throws their corpses away intentionally, the corpses shouldn't be scattered like they are now. Everywhere."

When they surveyed the location of the farm yesterday, they found that as long as they leave the town and head east, they will encounter a wasteland. Even if the murderer really wants to throw the body, they should lure them to go east. There are occasional vehicles on this road. However, it is easy to expose their behavior.

So Song Lan had a bold guess.

These people fell to their deaths after sleepwalking on foot, because the terrain was too steep, and the passing vehicles would not spread their spiritual energy over half of the mountain like him to search for clues left by the missing persons. Most of the missing persons left the town at night, so no one would have thought that all the missing persons in the town for many years would be buried here.

The two searched and dug, and erected simple unmarked graves for these unknown missing persons.

"This also just explains the strange story about the night shift bus driver encountering a ghost on the mountain road. In fact, what he saw was the missing person who was sleepwalking, but because of the dim light and their erratic walking, they were regarded as ghosts."

With such an explanation, Song Lan felt a lot more at ease.

Although it is not yet known why these people sleepwalk, at least he ruled out mysterious forces such as aliens.

From a scientific point of view, these people all accidentally fell to their deaths while sleepwalking on a steep mountain road.

At this time, he thought of the only surviving reporter. The biggest difference between her and other missing persons was that she went to the urban area by car, and booked a hotel room after arriving in the urban area. , sleep until wake up.

This may be because she happened to meet an acquaintance who was driving to the city while walking halfway that day, and she was called into the car in a daze, which saved her from falling off the cliff to her death.

According to Lu Xiang's investigation, this case happened more than 20 years ago. This lady returned to the small town, and has never encountered a similar situation since then, and she can be regarded as spending her old age in the small town.

"Maybe the purpose of sleepwalking is not to kill people, but to get them out of town and into the city."

After returning to the car, Song Lan made a hypothesis.

Feng Ling was full of doubts, "Why did they do this?"

She felt more and more that the outside world was too incomprehensible.

Returning from the small town to the urban area was not dangerous at all, and it took only a few watts to take a bus, but dozens of people died because of it.

"Probably to avoid pursuit."

"But didn't you say that there is no murderer in this case?"

"I mean that the murderer didn't appear in the real world. The vendor said that the missing person he saw looked flustered when he left the town, as if he was avoiding someone's pursuit, but he didn't find any suspicious person chasing the missing person that day. Sheep The village chief dreamed that he appeared in a place similar to a prison in his dream, and he still remembered someone urging him to run quickly in the dream."

"Someone made them have the same dream."

Feng Ling is thoughtful, may be a psychic, and may still be in the town.

"There's no one else in the town but us."

Before setting off, Song Lan had already searched the entire town, and there was no one else in the town except them.

They have only solved one of the doubts now. As for why these missing people have the same dream, it is the mystery that their "Approaching Science" bug group needs to solve next.

Don't go away, it's even more exciting after the ad.

Song Lan's mind even had that familiar advertisement.

Later, he told Lu Xiang what he had found under the cliff, and the forensic expert in the [-]th district highly praised him again.

He uses science to answer the whereabouts of people who have disappeared in the town for decades, and why they died.

"It's a pity you didn't become a detective."

Lu Xiang once again sighed on the phone, you must know that these strange talks are one of the extremely bizarre cases even in the law enforcement department. Possesses the most important traits in being a detective."

"You mean the witty mind?"

As a wise general, Song Lan decided to gladly accept Lu Xiang's compliment.

"No, witty minds are common, what you have is a more special gift."

"What talent?"

"Wherever you go, there will be a talent for homicide."

Lu Xiang said seriously.

Throughout the ages, there are not a few people with intelligence and intelligence, but like a broom star, a business trip can lead to a disappearance case that has been dusty for many years. Throughout history, there are probably very few people.

"Is that a compliment?"

Song Lan's mouth twitched, he wished he didn't have this kind of talent.

"of course."

Lu Xiang changed the subject and said suddenly, "Do you still remember Captain Kate?"

"remember."

He has heard about Captain Kate from Zhuang Chi more than once. Zhuang Chi said that she is a good captain who does things personally. Not only did she save her from danger, he recommended her to join the law enforcement department. On the front line of fighting crime.

It's a pity that in the [-]th district, it's a standard ending for a good person to be rewarded. Captain Kate didn't catch up with the good times. Before Lu Xiang was transferred to the [-]th district, she disappeared during the investigation of a case.

"I just found out another interesting thing. Before Captain Kate disappeared, she seemed to be investigating the disappearance in the small town. The last time she was seen was when she drove to the small town alone."

Since then, there has been no news from Captain Kate.

Live without people, dead without corpses.
