Mystery Hunter - Chapter 325
“Turn off all the flashlights.” Jiang He said decisively, “Since the crime consultant wants us to come late at night, he must have his reasons. What’s the difference between late night and daytime? The difference is that there is light in the daytime, but not in the middle of the night. That is to say, if there is something in this coffin, it can only be seen in a dark environment.”
Jiang He turned off his flashlight first, but Xu Yiman naturally turned off his flashlight when he heard Jiang He’s words. Immediately, the yard was completely dark. At this time, a faint light came from the originally empty coffin. This light was very weak, and it looked like a little bit of fluorescence in the dark night.
Jiang He said, “As expected, when strong light enters the coffin, the strong light will obscure the light emitted by the fluorescent light. I am 100% sure that this fluorescent light is strong. It absorbs energy in the light environment, and converts the energy into light in the dark environment.”
Xu Yiman glanced at Jiang He and said, “Come on, isn’t this just phosphor powder? It’s like no one else knows it. Let’s see, what is written on it.”
“Time.” Jiang He said after hearing Xu Yiman’s words.
“What timing?” Xu Yiman asked.
“It’s the word ‘timer’,” Jiang He said.
Guan Deng already understood what Jiang He meant. He typed the word “timing” on the webpage, and soon the page started to jump again, entering another page, and in the center of this page, a large font appeared. “Countdown” digital time in white color.
The entire countdown consists of hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds. At this moment, everyone saw that the number of milliseconds in the countdown was decreasing, which was almost invisible to the naked eye. It seemed to make people feel a little frightened.
Jiang He looked at the web page, calculating in his head, while already stating the result: “Seventy-two hours, forty-two minutes and thirty seconds, or about 3,029 days.”
Xu Yiman said: “Three days is enough, 3029 days, should it be calculated so finely?”
Jiang He shook his head. He said, “No, if you calculate it backwards, it will be zero o’clock in three days.”
“New Year!” Xu Yiman said, “I’ve been blindfolded in the Public Security Bureau every day recently, and I almost forgot the time. Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow will be New Year’s Eve, and the New Year’s Eve at 0:00 is not the new year. It’s been a year?”
“I didn’t expect time to pass so quickly,” Jiang He said.
“Yeah, it’s a new year soon.” Xu Yiman replied.
Suddenly, a bunch of fireworks exploded in the distance, and then bunch after bunch of fireworks exploded one after another. Colorful flowers bloomed in the sky, which looked extremely beautiful. The fireworks are far away, and I don’t know who is setting off the fireworks. The fireworks are in full bloom, which can be described as extremely beautiful.
At this time, the three of them seemed to have forgotten that they were here to investigate the clues. The three of them leaned against the coffin board and looked up at the sky.
Xu Yiman said: “Our task force is all people who have no parents or mothers, and don’t know where to go to celebrate the New Year.”
Jiang He said, “I’m 90% sure that we can’t make it through this new year. This criminal consultant’s countdown must have some meaning. It can’t be just a countdown to the new year.”
Xu Yiman said, “That’s fine. It’s better to go out and handle the case than to stay at home alone. It turns out that every New Year’s Eve, I go to bed earlier than usual and don’t go to anything. If you don’t watch the Spring Festival Gala, don’t watch the fireworks, then it’s like in my life, this is the most ordinary day in my life.”
Jiang He said: “Since my aunt passed away, I have never eaten dumplings on the night of my 30s, nor will I go to the balcony on the second floor to watch fireworks. Xu Yiman, you said that the Spring Festival is the biggest festival in our country, But why I don’t know, what is the meaning of the Spring Festival?”
Xu Yiman sighed heavily and said, “I think the meaning of the Spring Festival is for everyone to find out for themselves. I can’t tell you how I feel now. I always believe that there will be such a day. One day, sooner or later, you will be able to understand that all the feelings in this world that cannot be described in words and words, I think, that is the meaning of human existence.”
Jiang He took a last look at the time that was still counting down on Guan Deng’s computer, and said, “This time there is only this time, but there is no indication of the number of people below. But judging from this coffin, this coffin does not only open and close. Once, that is to say, many people may have found this secret, but we don’t know how many people. We also don’t know what this criminal consultant is going to do when the new year comes.”
“Then now that we have found this clue, should we destroy this clue? If more people know that no matter what this criminal consultant is going to do, then we are already very passive.”
Jiang He pondered for a moment, and while the fireworks kept blooming and disappearing, the fluorescent characters in the coffin kept appearing and disappearing. There was only one question in Jiang He’s mind at the moment, and that was this criminal consultant, what exactly did he want?
Ever since Guanden found this webpage, the crime consultant has been guiding his followers step by step to do these seemingly simple, but actually very troublesome things. What people hate the most is not the top of Mount Tai, but the trivialities. A word flashed in Jiang He’s mind in an instant: choose.
Yes, it is clear that the crime counselor is picking who among these believers he wants to find.
Jiang He’s mind was spinning fast. At this time, Jiang He could no longer notice the people and the environment around him. It seemed that he was the only one here. The clues in Jiang He’s mind gradually swirled and finally merged into one, which made Jiang He’s heart break into a cold sweat.
What kind of world is the world that this crime consultant wants? It must be no coincidence that this countdown for crime advisors ends at the beginning of the year. Jiang He understood that this should be the last thing the crime consultant wanted to do.
“Choose!” Jiang He chose to tell his guess, he said, “I finally know what the crime consultant wants to do. He is picking his followers, the first is the mask, these people bought the crime mask, this In fact, it represents these people in their hearts that they agree with the criminal consultant’s approach, otherwise they would not have bought the mask of the criminal consultant.”
Jiang He leaned on the coffin board and said seriously: “This is a major premise, which shows that these people agree with the criminal counselor’s approach, that is, his loyal supporters. Then, he wants us to go to a place, go to that place. Finding the password is also how he chooses people, at least he needs to find people who will listen to his instructions, so that he can use these people if he plans something in the future.”
“Finally.” Jiang He patted the coffin board and said, “It’s here in the end, what’s the test? Ordinary IQ and courage, if someone is afraid of the dark night, then he came here during the day, as long as the coffin is opened , when the sun shines in, he can’t see the secret key, and naturally there is no way to proceed to the next step. If this person has the guts, but the IQ is not very good, how can he find the secret secret that the crime consultant deliberately left behind If you have the key, then he can’t enter.”
“All in all,” Jiang He said, “What a criminal consultant is looking for is the ability to act independently, courage and wisdom, and finally support his followers.”
Hearing Jiang He’s words, Xu Yiman asked, “Then what is he going to do with these people? What does it have to do with the New Year? Don’t these people go home during the New Year?”
At this time, Jiang He finally said: “I finally understand why the crime consultant asked us to fill in the three information at the beginning, name, ID number, and home address. He was also looking for a local from Longcheng. This point. These people are natives of Longcheng. On the 30th night, they can go home at any time, or they can come out at any time. Guandeng, go to check immediately, on the night of the 30th New Year’s Eve, do we have any services in Longcheng? What a big event to do.”
Guandon nodded.
Jiang He said, “This is the ultimate goal of the criminal consultant. He has been entangled with us half a year ago. His ultimate conspiracy must not be a trivial matter.”
“Xu Yiman, see if there’s anything around, get rid of this phosphor.” Jiang He said, “I’ll immediately call Mr. Shao to see how his situation is going.”
“it is good.”
Xu Yiman found a branch in the yard and scratched the two big characters inside the coffin.
Jiang He dialed Lao Shao’s phone number and said directly, “Elder Shao, when we found this place step by step, it was already obvious that the crime consultant wanted to do something on the New Year’s Day, but we I still don’t know what the criminal consultant is going to do, but I know very well that this matter must involve a lot of people. I think if the criminal consultant succeeds, then the people who die may be 100,000. Units.”
“Okay.” Mr. Shao said, “We will go back to the Municipal Bureau in a while. If it’s the New Year, there will only be three days. In these few days, let’s endure it as long as we can.”
“Where are you?” Jiang He asked, “Any clues?”
Mr. Shao said: “We have confirmed with Zhang Shan’s family. After Zhang Shan was fired, he chose to travel and relax. He agreed to come back a week before the Chinese New Year, but now so many days have passed, and Zhang Shan has not come back. , Even since yesterday, they have been unable to contact Zhang Shan, they have called the police, and it is certain that Zhang Shan is missing.”
