Detective agency Xiao Zhao’s questioning had a very frightening effect.
Sheriff A shrank his neck, hesitated for a while, and then handed him a key, "Take it. If you find a clue later, tell us."
The detective agency must have a good relationship with the local police. It cannot fall out with them unless it is absolutely necessary.
So Xiao Zhao quickly got off the slope, happily took the key, and left Tan Guiren's dormitory with Huo Shaoheng and Zhao Liangze.
Together they went to the detective agency where Xiao Zhao worked.
There are more professional criminal investigation equipment here, which is convenient for Zhao Liangze to develop the photos just now.
When Xiao Zhao took Zhao Liangze to develop the photos, Huo Shaoheng was sitting alone in the detective agency's office, watching the video of Tan Guiren's dormitory that Zhao Liangze had just taken, and comparing and analyzing it with the dormitory video taken by the detective agency a few days ago.
Although I just walked out of that small dormitory, looking back now, I still have a different experience.
Maybe it’s a different angle to see the problem, or maybe a professional high-resolution camera is more comprehensive and perfect than the human eye.
Huo Shaoheng watched the entire video twice and discovered something different.
For example, the sunlight coming in from the direction of the window seems to be darker in some places on the floor than in other places.
Also, the flower clock on the wall turned out to have stopped.
That kind of flower wall clock does not have second and minute hands, and the hour hand is also very hidden, so sometimes you have to look at videos taken at different times to see the clues.
The dormitory video taken by the detective agency a few days ago showed that the flower wall clock was stopped at eight o'clock, and the dormitory video they took today showed that the flower wall clock was also at eight o'clock.
The detective agency's dormitory video from the previous few days was taken in the afternoon, while their video was taken around seven in the morning.
No matter which time it is, it's not eight o'clock.
As far as he knew, this kind of wall clock usually uses button batteries, and a few can be plugged into AC power. He didn't know what the flower wall clock in Tan Guiren's dormitory used as power.
After watching the video, Huo Shaoheng took out the report on the case written by the military attaché at the consulate and read it carefully.
One afternoon passed, Zhao Liangze developed all the photos and returned to the Hilton Hotel with Huo Shaoheng.
"Master Huo, look at these photos. Is there anything special about them?" Zhao Liangze placed all the photos on the living room floor of the hotel where Huo Shaoheng lived, and reorganized Tan Guiren's dormitory in order of southeast, northwest, and northwest.
Huo Shaoheng stood at the edge of the photo with his hands behind his back, his eyes calm and silent.
What he recalled in his mind was the report written by the military attache.
It specifically mentions the issue of magnetic fields.
The whole thing was a coincidence.
The attaché originally went to the crime scene to conduct a routine inspection in his capacity as a consulate attaché, not as a member of the Special Operations Division.
It turned out that among the people who went there that day, there happened to be someone who brought an instrument that could indirectly detect the magnetic field.
When the military attache saw the magnetic field data, he immediately became vigilant. He immediately went back to get professional testing equipment and recorded the abnormal magnetic field data in Tan Guiren's dormitory.
Not long after he finished recording, the strange magnetic field disappeared...
Huo Shaoheng did not look at the magnetic field data carefully, but was thinking, why does this magnetic field appear? Why does it disappear
This is probably the key to Tan Guiren's case.
Because every time it appears, it is accompanied by some unexpected phenomena, or in other words, accompanied by some phenomena that are difficult to explain.
The first time, 17 years ago, Huo Shaoheng's mother Song Jinning and grandfather Song Haichuan conducted a secret experiment in cooperation with the military. The experiment failed and this magnetic field appeared for the first time.
The second time, 7 years ago, this strange magnetic field appeared at an intersection in a downtown area of City C. He was ordered to protect Bai Jinxuan, director of the Institute of High Energy Physics, who was collecting data there. It was there that they saw a car suddenly rush into the road. Entering the magnetic field, an explosion occurred, and he rescued a twelve-year-old girl from inside, Gu Nianzhi, who was carrying a small backpack.
The third time, in the middle of last year, a special magnetic field suddenly appeared in the Somali waters of the Gulf of Aden. Bai Jinxuan, director of the Institute of High Energy Physics, who was not yet in jail at the time, personally led a team to collect data in that sea area. At that time, several major powers on Blue Star unanimously sent scientific research ships to conduct investigations in the Gulf of Aden and the waters of Somalia. According to Bai Jin after the announcement, some countries also dispatched nuclear submarines.
The fourth time is this time. Tan Guiren disappeared in his dormitory, and then they measured this set of magnetic field data.
Is it really such a coincidence
Huo Shaoheng is not a scientist, but a soldier, and not an ordinary soldier, but a soldier of the Special Operations Department who performs special tasks.
In this industry, there is a natural need for skepticism, and it is even necessary to preconceptionally identify every seemingly impossible event as a conspiracy.
The special operations department also follows this principle.
Many things that seem very mysterious are not really mysterious, but there are key links in them that you have not found out.
Just like magic, when the audience doesn't know the secret behind the magic, they will see the miracle by themselves.
But if the secret of magic is exposed, it is just an ordinary deception.
Huo Shaoheng's eyes fell on these photos again.
He had an intuition that there were many blinders covering the case of Tan Guiren, and someone was trying to hide their true purpose.
So finding the motive can help them find Tan Guiren.
After hearing Huo Shaoheng's analysis, Zhao Liangze shook his head and said, "Master Huo, do you really think Tan Guiren is still alive?"
"I don't know whether she is alive or dead, and I don't need to know. I just need to find Guiren Tan, whether she is dead or alive." Huo Shaoheng analyzed calmly, pointing to a photo in his hand, "Look at this wall clock , stop at eight o'clock, and take a look at the angle of the sun shining into the dormitory, isn't it interesting?"
Zhao Liangze looked over, and after a long while, he nodded and said thoughtfully: "It seems a bit interesting."
Judging from the photo, the window of Tan Guiren's dormitory faces south. The sun can only shine in in the morning, and then the sun gradually sets to the west and no longer shines.
"Oze, can you use software to analyze it? At eight o'clock in the morning, when the sun hits Tan Guiren's dormitory, what angle and direction will it fall?" Huo Shaoheng picked up the two photos and put them in Zhao Liangze's hand. inside.
This requirement requires imaging software and data analysis software to be jointly run, which is not difficult for Zhao Liangze.
After several days of thinking, he finally made a new small program that can perform image and data analysis in parallel.
After inputting the photos of Tan Guiren's dormitory one by one, the photos were quantified and converted into three-dimensional pictures. Tan Guiren's dormitory became three-dimensional on his computer monitor.
Huo Shaoheng stood behind him, watching him adjust the data and match the time with the sunlight angle bit by bit.
The clear laptop screen showed a girls' dormitory, the curtains slowly opened, and the eight o'clock morning sun shone in.
The software simulates the direction of sunlight falling into the room, and finally stops at a point in the middle of the floor of the room.
Huo Shaoheng said "Huh".
"What's that on the floor?"
Zhao Liangze squinted and looked carefully, even enlarging the image of the floor and increasing the resolution.
"It seems like a shape?" Zhao Liangze said uncertainly, "It looks weird, like a vine, twisting and turning."
To be precise, the shape is an oval with vines.
Under the sunlight, the green light shimmered slightly, and soon the figure disappeared because the sunlight had moved its direction and was no longer the eight o'clock sunlight.
This is a pattern that appears in a specific place at a specific time.
What does it mean
Huo Shaoheng stood behind Zhao Liangze with his arms folded, his lips curled up, "It's interesting, are you trying to challenge us to decipher the secret?"
Zhao Liangze was also a little speechless. He shook his head and said, "Who is so boring? Just kidnap. Do you want to leave so many clues to heaven? Are you afraid that others won't know?"
"Maybe he is confident that others will not find it." Huo Shaoheng said in a declarative tone, with a cold expression on his face, "But since leaving clues means making demands, let's see who is more patient."
"What should we do?" Zhao Liangze's handsome eyebrows were furrowed tightly, "Eight days have passed, will Miss Tan be in trouble?"
"Her family should know better." Huo Shaoheng also sighed. He felt uncomfortable thinking that he was a citizen of the Chinese Empire, but suffered such a sudden disaster abroad. "She should have been taken back to the country a long time ago, or the consulate here should have been notified earlier. and the police to give her special protection.”
Zhao Liangze nodded sympathetically, "Let's do our best."
What does their Special Operations Division do
It is to provide special protection to citizens of the Chinese Empire overseas.
When citizens of the Chinese Empire encounter troubles and difficulties overseas, if the embassy cannot come forward, it is time for their Special Operations Department to dispatch.
The two of them stood still for the time being and waited to see how the other side would act.
…
The police department on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, New York, has been stealing the show these days, holding a bustling daily press conference to inform the media and the public about the progress of the case.
Although they did not find any new clues, they blew the whistle every day and shouted to the kidnappers. They also asked the public to call them if they had clues. They also announced the hotline number and the $100,000 provided by Tan's family. Bounty.
Huo Shaoheng has not been idle these days. He hangs around the Juilliard School every day, checking to see if anyone suspicious appears around the school.
This consumption is half a month.
The Tan family was almost in despair, but Huo Shaoheng was still there and took the opportunity to sort out the layout of the Special Operations Department in North America, rotate the personnel, and re-establish a branch of the Special Operations Department in North America.
This place, of course, is hidden in the city, located in New York City, the most prosperous city in the United States.
New York is a city that prides itself on freedom. It is easiest to hide a branch here.
…
It's mid-June and the weather is getting hotter.
Gu Nianzhi walked out of the dormitory. Once under the sun, the shade he had just walked out of the air-conditioned room was gone.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead, looked at the scorching sunshine in the sky, and thought of Huo Shaoheng, who had not heard from her for more than half a month.
Missing her everywhere, no matter what she saw, she could think of him.
Is his mission troublesome after disappearing for so long this time
