From the moment the meat sauce was sent for testing, both Zhou Ming and Crow began a long wait.

Over the next ten days, Crow steadily advanced her surveillance plan. Even though her methods had overwhelming advantages in terms of investigation methods, she continued to improve the surveillance system. She wandered the streets every day, linking red dots to the town. corresponding to the identity of the above residents.

In addition to not being able to see the actions of the parties like real surveillance, she can already know the movement trajectory of anyone in the town, and the surveillance performance has reached half of the Sky Eye system in the first wall.

On the other side, Zhou Ming continued to run various interviews and investigations in order to improve the information on those witnesses. As he became more proficient in interviewing, Zhou Ming also mastered a more efficient interview method.

In the past, his attitude was too polite to overwhelm the other party. But since he adjusted his attitude from polite and gentle to a mechanical and cold attitude, supplemented by a bit of threatening subtext, he found that the interviewee was more cooperative. The probability has increased significantly, and the information provided is more detailed and richer than before.

Sometimes people are like this, bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and being punished with a drink if you don't eat the toast. To sum up, it's a shame.

Just this morning, the pork test results came out, and it was finally proven that the meat sauce was just ordinary pork. Although the meat was rotten, it was indeed not adulterated with anything that shouldn't be present.

At this time, there are only sixteen days left before the one-month deadline.

Zhou Ming was mentally prepared for this result, because after investigating many restaurants, he found that all hotel employees in Semir Town have the habit of eating in restaurants. If there is really a problem with the meat, then there will be problems among the hotel employees. A large number of special witnesses.

However, the results shown by the intelligence are not like this, so it is expected that the meat quality is normal.

However, unexpected situations also occurred.

Today is the fourteenth day since Zhou Ming and Wu Wu arrived in Semir Town, and the latest disappearance case was seven days earlier than their arrival date, which means that there has been no disappearance for a full 21 days.

Before that, disappearances occurred very frequently, with the longest interval being only fourteen days.

After Zhou Ming and Wu Wu arrived in Semir Town, the strange disappearance phenomenon just disappeared... It was as if Wei Wei knew that Zhou Ming and Wu Wu were coming.

Weird phenomena like this are called intelligent weirdness. Compared with regular weirdness, intelligent weirdness is more like a living person. The difficulty of hunting this kind of weirdness depends on the "IQ" of this weirdness.

If the opponent's IQ is high enough, even an extremely weak monster will be extremely difficult to solve. If the opponent is mentally retarded... then there is nothing to say.

"Damn it, it's even more troublesome now." The crow walked slowly down the street carrying the coffin, his brain running rapidly.

The crow knows that the weirdness in Semir Town is definitely not a sign of weakness, at least it knows how to stop people disappearing after the hermit arrives.

What she hates most is this kind of weirdness. Even if she is not very capable, solving this kind of weirdness will waste a lot of time.

And if Weird never takes action, the tracking system she set up will be completely useless.

"Teacher Crow? Why did you come out today?"

Zhou Ming, who had just come out of the hotel, ran into Crow.

"Just take a stroll." Crow said coldly.

As she spoke, her eyes swept over the other person's green mask, slowly moved down, and finally landed on the folder in the other person's hand.

From the moment she entered Semir Town, she saw that Zhou Ming had been investigating. Unexpectedly, more than ten days later, he was still investigating. Is this guy a nerd?

Crow frowned and shook his head speechlessly.

"Oh, why don't you become a policeman? I think you seem to be very adaptable to this traditional way of investigating crimes. If you become a policeman, it will definitely be much more useful than being a hermit. You will definitely become an excellent and good policeman, at least for others.

Seeing how busy you are, I will think you are very responsible." Crow said sarcastically.

Although Zhou Ming couldn't see the other person's face, he could imagine the mean face that looked like a smile but not a smile hidden under the mask.

After getting along with each other for more than half a month, Zhou Ming was certain that the other party's ridicule had nothing to do with the test of endurance, and was entirely due to the other party's bad character.

"What are you investigating?" Crow asked again.

She looked at the hotel that Zhou Ming had just walked out of, and nodded slightly, as if she understood something.

"Oh~ I see, we are investigating the population flow of residents in the town."

Zhou Ming's eyes suddenly opened wide with a very surprised expression.

Crow stared down at Zhou Ming, and let out two chuckles from behind the mask: "To be precise, they should be investigating the relocation records of these hotel employees, right?"

"How do you know?" Zhou Ming asked in surprise.

"The target of your last investigation was a restaurant. I believe you are not the kind of person who can investigate randomly based on your intuition, and you have the nerve to entrust me with such trivial matters as testing rotten pork, so I think you should have some clues.

of.

Although of course the last test result was a failure, twenty-one days have passed since the last disappearance, exceeding the maximum time interval between disappearances. This phenomenon will naturally give you some inspiration, and it is not enough to continue this investigation.

Strange.

Huh! Just work hard and let me see how far you can go."

After saying that, Crow passed by Zhou Ming and continued walking along the avenue.

Zhou Ming looked back at the tall figure and couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

"He is indeed a professional hermit, and his keen insight is astonishing."

The other party's guess was correct. Zhou Ming was indeed investigating the population movement records of the town's residents, but it didn't just start today. He had already started this investigation on the day the meat sauce was sent for inspection, and it was finally coming to an end today.

The absence of missing persons was indeed unexpected by Zhou Ming, but it also made Zhou Ming more firm in his conjecture.

There has been no missing person for twenty-one days, so there is a high probability that he is an intelligent weirdo.

But in addition to this possibility, there is another possibility: when a dangerous forbidden object is mastered, with the help of human wisdom, it will also show intelligent and weird external characteristics, so this series of events

The person behind the scenes is also very likely to be human.

If the real murderer is a human, then there is a high probability that the murderer will leave Semima Town as soon as possible after noticing the hermit's arrival. Therefore, investigating the relocation records of long-term residents can effectively narrow down the scope of suspects and improve the efficiency of tracing.

Moreover, if the real culprit behind the strange phenomenon is assumed to be a human being, it can also explain why the missing people had been to the pub before the incident. It is likely that it was a very convenient environment for the murderer to commit the crime.

In addition, the details of the disappearance of Wang Er's family, which had been ignored before, have also become clues of great investigative value.

Of course, in addition to the two clues of the tavern and Wang Er, Zhou Ming of the hotel will never let them go.

Because among the information summarized before, one of them is: a specific missing person can be seen in every family.

This regular phenomenon is very critical and represents the trend of communication.

To rationalize this transmission route, apart from food, the other possibilities that Zhou Ming thought of were very slim.

At present, Zhou Ming has interrogated all the taverns, and the last restaurant has also been interrogated just now.

In these business establishments, some part-time workers have recently resigned and left Semir Town. However, if the missing date parameter is added to the information, it will be found that none of the part-time workers can completely match the time of committing the crime.

The dates of the first few disappearances occurred far before those people came to Semir Town.

This shows that the day laborer who recently left Semir Town is not the mastermind behind the scenes. Instead, it is probably because of this series of strange disappearances that he wants to escape this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.

By reasoning backwards, we can draw another conclusion: if the murderer is really a human, then he is still in Semir Town!

The investigation will continue, and there is still one last suspect's home that he has not visited. Zhou Ming hopes that this last visit will yield some results.
Chapter completed!
