I hesitated before saying: "Ye Xun, contact the local police and ask them to help check Zhang Zishuo's social connections. Wang Xi, please continue."
Wang Xi spread his hands and said: "After the elder died, the disciples of the sect no longer dared to pursue Zhang Zishuo. They all withdrew their defenses and reported to the headquarters. Logically speaking, the headquarters should be able to send people down soon, but we have to wait. No one has been seen for more than half a month."
At Wang Xi's level, he doesn't have access to people like Gods and Demons Cemetery, so he naturally doesn't know the deployment of the Detective Hand headquarters. If calculated based on time, the Detective Hands are concentrating their forces to attack the Cemetery of Gods and Demons, so things here will naturally have to be postponed.
I was silent for a moment and then said: "Have you not studied the secret box since the elder of the Wuming Sect came?"
"You should have studied it, right?" Wang Xi said vaguely: "The elder always carried the secret box with him at the beginning, almost never leaving it. Until he died, he still carried the wooden box everywhere. After he died, the wooden box disappeared. If anyone dares to move, we will put him in the secret room."
"As for the extent to which the elder has studied the wooden box, we really don't know, and he won't tell me these things. By the way... "
Wang Xi seemed to have remembered something: "The elder seemed to be looking through the wooden box. After seeing through it, his face became very ugly. As for what he saw, no one knows."
I asked Wang Xi a few more questions, and after the other party answered them one by one, I waved and said, "Take him down and lock him up first. Let him go after we confirm the information."
After Wang Xi was taken away, I turned to look at Ye Xun: "Do you think his words are credible?"
"It should be credible, right?" Ye Xun didn't want to use his brain anymore. He was a very diligent person, but he was too lazy, to the point of being outrageous. According to Ye Xun's own words, if the brain cells are consumed too much, it is easy to suffer from Alzheimer's disease. I don't know where he got this theory from.
When I was about to speak, Linger said: "This person's words are almost impeccable. But the more perfect the answer, the more unreal it is. Especially when a confession is forced."
When people are forced to confess, they will more or less subconsciously say things that are beneficial to them. So there will definitely be hesitation, or the preface does not match the follow-up.
However, Wang Xi's answer made people feel that everything was correct and without any flaws. People in this situation either feel that nothing has anything to do with them and there is no pressure at all to answer questions; or they have made up their rhetoric in advance and just follow it.
I thought for a long time before saying: "Send someone to trick Wang Xi and see if he can get anything useful out of him; Ye Xun, please urge the police and ask them to step up their investigation of Zhang Zishuo's social connections."
Ye Xun quickly brought me back the news: "The police investigated Zhang Zishuo's social connections once after he disappeared..."
Before Ye Xun could finish his words, I interrupted him: "The police investigated Zhang Zishuo. Who reported the case?"
Logically speaking, the detective would not contact the police on his own initiative. If the sect disciples find someone to call the police, they are prepared to be laughed out of their peers. Moreover, they have a sect elder with them, so they are even less likely to call the police.
Ye Xun flipped through the report record and said, "It's a relative of Zhang Zishuo, named Zhang Qiang. That person is also missing."
I nodded and said, "Go on."
Ye Xun said: "According to the police investigation, Zhang Zishuo often haunted a community before his disappearance. Later, he bought a house in that community in the name of Zhang Qiang. But Zhang Zishuo did not go to live in the community."
"In addition, Zhang Zishuo's social relationship is extremely simple, and he has not been found to have close contacts with anyone. He occasionally goes to the bar to drink. According to the police's investigation at the bar, it was not found that Zhang Zishuo has any contacts with anyone."
"That's weird!" I knocked on the table twice with my hand: "Let's go to that community and have a look."
I left most of the people at the station and rushed to the community with only Ye Xun, Ling'er and Li Xiaomao.
The community where Zhang Zishuo often hangs out should have been completed for a long time, but some places behind it seem to have not been completed yet, and it seems to be an unfinished project. Moreover, there are not too many residents in the community.
I walked to the gate of the community and handed a cigarette to the security guard: "Brother, I want to go into the community to see the house. Where is the sales office?"
The security guard said lazily: "The sales office is not working today, please come back in a few days!"
I immediately became interested: "You don't want to sell this house? Why isn't the sales office open yet?"
The security guard said indifferently: "If you say you don't go to work, you won't go to work. Where does all this nonsense come from? Let's go quickly."
"Beat him!" I waved my hand at Ye Xun, who stuffed him into the security room and beat him up. I called the police outside the security room.
After the police came, they took us directly into the police station. Within ten minutes, the police station found out our identities, and we appeared in front of the security again.
Li Xiaomao reached out and slapped the gun on the table: "Do you know this?"
The security guard was so frightened that he shivered. No matter how stupid the security guard was, he could understand who were the people who dared to use guns in the police station. All my original temper was frightened away. I took out Zhang Zishuo's photo and threw it in front of the security guard: "Have you seen this person?"
"I've seen it, I've seen it..." The security guard nodded hurriedly: "I often ran to the community some time ago."
I said in a deep voice: "What is he doing in the community?"
"This..." The security guard didn't know how to answer.
I took out a stack of money from my pocket and slapped it on the table: "We handle cases and there are rewards. Your clues are valuable, and the money is yours. If you dare to fool me..."
Before I finished speaking, Ye Xun picked up the gun and pulled the trigger.
Although there was no bullet in the gun, the sound of the empty gun scared the security guard to the ground: "I say, I say everything, I say everything."
I said coldly: "Why didn't you have this attitude just now?"
The security guard said with a cry: "Are you afraid that you won't believe me when I told you? When the police came to find me in the past, I told the truth. In the end, the police gave me a scolding and said that I was talking nonsense. How could I dare to talk nonsense?"
Ye Xun and I looked at each other before saying, "Say what you have to say, even if you saw a ghost in the community, just tell the truth. We will make our own judgment."
"Didn't I just see a ghost?" The security guard almost cried: "The second and third phases of the community have not been completed, and the first phase of the house cannot be sold because it is haunted!"
I sat calmly on the chair and threw a pipe to the security guard: "Tell me what's going on?"
The security guard lit a cigarette and said: "When the community was first developed, almost no one lived in this area because it was haunted. Older people tell me! There were pirates in this place before, and the pirates killed many people here!"
I winked at Ye Xun, who hurriedly left the interrogation room. I continued to ask: "What happened to the pirates killing people?"
The security guard said: "I don't know what happened specifically. I just heard that there was a cave in this place at that time. The cave was connected to the sea. The pirates captured the people and threw them into the cave. That's it. Well, I don’t know what’s going on.”
I said solemnly: "Then have you seen that cave?"
The security guard hurriedly said: "I grew up near here. I was very brave when I was a child. I heard people said that there was a dead man's cave here, and I went to look for it. There were no caves. In addition to a lot of mounds, there were even There are no pitfalls.”
I nodded and said, "What else?"
The security guard continued: "Later, a developer took a fancy to this place and wanted to develop and build a community. The first phase of the project was very well built, and it was the building you came to see. Originally, they wanted to develop the second and third phases. Who knows, something might happen when we continue to develop it.”
The security guard took a deep drag on his cigarette: "When they were developing the second phase, I don't know what happened. Several people died one after another, and some people disappeared on the construction site. No one was found alive or dead. The police didn't even see them. turn up."
I turned to look at the policeman who accompanied me, and the latter whispered: "It's true. After we received the report, we searched the area several times. We also checked the surveillance of several surrounding streets, and we didn't see anyone missing." The specific whereabouts of the personnel.”
The other party hesitated for a moment and said: "If you look at the surveillance video purely, it means that the missing person has never left the construction site. It can be said that he disappeared inside the construction site."
"The higher-ups are also very dissatisfied with this result. We mobilized many veteran criminal investigators, but we couldn't find any clues."
"I understand." I nodded slightly and said to the security guard, "You continue."
The security guard said: "The developer thought it was because of an evil attack, and even invited a senior monk to come over to do the work. In the end, it was of no use, and the person who died was still dead. Later, even the developer did not dare to touch it, and simply put the project there. .”
"Houses in this community have never sold well, and the people at the sales office sometimes come and sometimes don't. They still owe me a few months' wages and haven't paid me, so I asked them for..."
I said in a deep voice: "Don't talk about useless things, let's get to the point. What did you say you saw a ghost?"
The security guard couldn't help but trembled: "One night, I was patrolling the community. I saw someone walking towards the edge of the building. It seemed that he was going to the construction site behind, so I called him and told him not to go there. .”
"When the man heard me shouting, he ran forward. I thought, isn't he a thief? So I chased him hard. When I chased him to the edge of the construction site, he didn't know what he was looking at. He was scared. You have to scream desperately, but the sound is not the sound of human beings!"
"I was also scared at the time and didn't dare to chase forward. I saw that the man was going to run towards me, but who would have thought that he just took two steps and flew up upside down and fell into the construction site? ”
"I shouted several times, but the man didn't respond. So I bravely took two steps forward to see what was going on over there."
