Chapter 449 Disappeared out of thin air?

During the Qingming Festival, Zhang Changzheng, who originally worked in the provincial capital, also brought his wife back to worship their ancestors.

Zhang Changzheng was promoted to the provincial government three years ago, so his wife naturally moved to the province with their two children.

However, his parents were unwilling to leave and stayed in their hometown in Anren County.

Zhang Changzheng and his wife would bring their children back during holidays.

Just look, during the Qingming Festival, their family of four returned.

Zhang Changzheng also brought his wife and children to Xu's house.

The Xu family was naturally happy and welcomed their arrival.

"Changzheng Dad, can you tell us about any new cases you have recently?" Xu Jinning asked.

In the past, whenever Zhang Changzheng came to Xu's house, he would tell Xu Jinning about some recent cases that he could talk about.

Zhang Changzheng is a very good storyteller. Even an apparently ordinary case can be told with great twists and turns.

Of course, there are also some cases that are rather bizarre and unexpected.

That would make Xu Jinning even more curious.

Therefore, whenever Zhang Changzheng came, Xu Jinning would ask him if there were any new cases that did not need to be kept confidential.

Zhang Changzheng looked at Xu Jinning with a gentle look in his eyes and said, "Don't mention it, there really is one."

"This case is both fresh and novel. We still don't have any ideas."

Zhang Changzheng thought that Xu Jinning was his lucky star, and Xu Jinning always had other ideas in his mind. Perhaps Ningning could give him different ideas.

Hearing their father was going to talk about the case, Zhang Changzheng's two children hurried over and sat down, ready to listen together.

The other members of the Xu family also pricked up their ears.

Zhang Changzheng coughed lightly and said, "Recently, in the bureau where I work, there are always people reporting missing things."

"In fact, losing things is a very common thing."

"However, recently, there are many more people reporting missing items than before."

"These people who lost things, the things they lost were all kinds of strange things."

"Some people lost several kilograms of rice."

“Some lost a bag of candy.”

"Some lost a piece of pork..."

"Some even lost two chickens..."

The first things reported missing were food.

When Xu Jinning heard what Zhang Changzheng said, he suddenly remembered that if it were modern times, it would certainly be impossible to call the police if these things were lost.

But in that era, food was not so abundant, and if these things were lost, someone would actually call the police.

In the past, the police were often not investigating cases, but helping to find lost chickens and ducks. Even in modern times, there are police officers who help find lost cats and dogs.

So, when Xu Jinning heard what Changzheng’s father said, he was not surprised.

“But not long ago, the things being lost started to change.”

"But every day more people come to report missing items."

"And this thing was lost inexplicably."

“It’s like it just disappeared into thin air.”

Zhang Changzheng continued.

He gave an example. A while ago, someone came to report that his newly bought bicycle was lost.

But the police asked how it was lost and whether there were any suspects. "That person was a man who lived alone. He had just bought the bicycle with the money he had saved."

"At that time, he was reluctant to even ride his bicycle, so he carried it back home, intending to ride it again when he went to work the next day."

"At that time, he closed the door from the inside and locked it, then went to the kitchen to make food."

"But when he came out of the kitchen after finishing his work, about 20 minutes later, the bicycle that was originally in the yard was gone."

But the door to his yard was always closed, with no signs of having been opened.

Moreover, he was in the kitchen and did not hear any movement in the yard.

There were no other footprints in the yard.

In particular, this person's yard is more than three meters high, and there are broken glass fragments on the top to prevent anyone from climbing over the wall.

Therefore, with such a high wall and glass, it is unlikely that someone could climb over it to get in.

Especially since they stole the bicycle as well, it was really unlikely that they could do it without causing any commotion.

"There were no traces, no footprints on the ground, and no signs of the bicycle being pushed away. Our comrades went to investigate and found that the bicycle seemed to have disappeared out of thin air."

At first, Zhang Changzheng and others were still wondering whether this man was lying.

But in the end, it was confirmed that this man did not lie and really bought the bicycle, and the bicycle did disappear out of thin air just as he described.

"Not only the person who lost the bicycle, but also the money stored in the house. It was clearly locked, and the key was kept close to the person. No one else was at home during that period, but the money disappeared after the door was opened again, and the lock was still intact..."

Many people report that they have lost something.

Some lost watches, some lost gold and silver jewelry, and some, like a doctor, said that some of his treasured rare books were lost...

Anyway, during this period, more and more people have come to report losing things.

"...and according to their descriptions and our investigation, it seems that the things they lost disappeared out of thin air."

"Can……"

Zhang Changzheng paused and looked at Xu Jinning, "Ningning, do you think it's really possible to disappear out of thin air?"

In the past, Zhang Changzheng himself would have denied this possibility.

But ever since he met Xu Jinning and read Ningning's mind that time, Zhang Changzheng began to believe in metaphysics.

Especially when they didn't find any suspects after the investigation, he wondered whether this metaphysical possibility was high.

Or maybe there are other possibilities that he hasn't thought of.

Moreover, after comprehensive analysis, Zhang Changzheng and others felt that the things lost by those who reported the loss during this period were most likely taken away by the same person.

As for who it was, how did this person take it away, and where are those things now...

They haven't a clue.

Zhang Changzheng's question made Xu Jinning stunned for a moment and he didn't know how to answer.

If it were in modern times, Xu Jinning would definitely answer that such metaphysical things should be impossible.

but……

She can even travel through time!

Could there be anything more metaphysical than her traveling through time?
So, it was really hard for her to answer.

At this time, Xu Jinning remembered the benefit of something.

That's surveillance!
If the families whose things were lost had surveillance cameras installed in every household like in modern times, then they could check how the things were lost and who took them as long as the surveillance cameras were functioning properly.

But in this era, electricity was not fully available and the Internet had not yet appeared.

Monitoring is naturally impossible.

Therefore, once this thing is lost, it will be up to humans to investigate.
