Chapter 118 Sister's watch, a strange mystery
To tell the truth, Jiang Yue really cared about the loss of his family, but he didn't lose his sense of control.

During the trip to Panshiling, Jiang Yue received the greatest enlightenment: the old Jiang's family is definitely not so easy to coax.

On the high side, with two confidants, plus Master Liu and his female assistant, there are five people in total.

On Jiang Yue's side, there are four.

It can be seen that the relationship between Director Luo's Operation Three and Director Gao's Operation Five is obviously very bad.Even among the players, there is also some kind of faint antagonism.

This point can be fully judged from the interaction between Yang Cong and the other two team members' noses are not noses, eyes are not eyes.

Obviously, Gao Gao didn't have a good look at Luo Chu either.

Not to mention anything else, there was no reservation at all about the words they ran against each other.Words with a gun, every sentence with a stick.

"Old Gao, that's fine! With the help of a master, you are really courageous. However, if you handle cases like you, our bureau's funds can't afford it. If you go in for a long time, it will cost tens of millions. Oh, I If you are not good at mathematics, who will calculate the appearance fee?"

"I can count, I can count. One minute is 1, and one hour is 30 million. If the master wanders inside for more than six hours, the appearance fee will exceed 1800 million." After all, Sangou is close to the existence of a primary school diploma , this multiplication is still possible.

After finishing the calculation, don't forget to comment on one or two.

"Second brother, is it so profitable to be a magic stick? Is it too late if I want to change my career?"

Jiang Yue chuckled: "Do you have a statuette? Do you have a big gold watch? Do you have big sunglasses?"

"Without these, you can't be a magic stick?" Sangou was disappointed.

Master Liu on the side had a dull expression, and his psychological quality seemed to be excellent.The two brothers teased each other, but he didn't seem to care about it.

Quite a bit of the mind of an expert.

Director Gao, on the other hand, said coldly: "Lao Luo, Master Liu was invited by me, so your people should respect you."

Luo Chu smiled: "You know that you invited me, not me. Besides, Xiao Jiang is my friend, not my subordinate. I can't keep my mouth shut, can I?"

Master Liu suddenly smiled strangely: "High places, don't get in the way, don't get in the way. Since ancient times, misfortunes come from the mouth. I, Liu, am a man of virtue, and I won't argue with them. Stay at the door and invite disasters every minute, and you don’t know how you will die when the time comes."

While speaking, the compass in his hand was compared with the void.

Seeing Master Liu's serious face and his serious appearance, Jiang Yue didn't know how much background the other party had.

He didn't care about the other party's magical suit, and walked towards one of the entrances.

"and many more!"

Master Liu suddenly shouted.

"What?" Luo Chu said with a smile, "What advice, Master?"

"That entrance leads to the underground parking lot, which is the most terrifying and dangerous forbidden area in the Ten Death Lands. Are you sure you want to go there?"

The underground parking lot is built underground. From a metaphysical point of view, it is relatively confined and gloomy.Generally speaking, yin houses are built underground.

Therefore, when constructing an underground parking lot, some Feng Shui layouts must be made to offset and isolate Yin Qi when construction starts.

But despite this, underground projects are always relatively dark.

Therefore, many weird events tend to happen in underground parking lots and similar underground worlds.

"What does Master mean?" Luo Chu asked with a smile.

"God has the virtue of good life. Although you guys make this master a little unhappy, I can't just watch you go to death. Forget it, you guys, follow me. Can I bless you safe, I dare not promise , but it’s better than you taking the initiative to die!”

Although Master Liu stinks of copper all over his body, he seems to be a man of morals, with a hint of pity for others.

Gao Gao snorted coldly, but didn't say any objection.

But Jiang Yue suddenly said: "Forget it. There is a saying that is good, put it to death and then live. There is no absolute death in the world, even if it is the absolute death, there will always be a glimmer of life. On the contrary, it is your gold watch, Master." It's so dazzling that I can't keep my eyes open. I'm afraid..."

"What are you afraid of?"

"I've also heard an old saying that you put your hand in the coffin, and you want money. I heard that those ghosts and evil spirits are just like us humans, and they are also greedy for money. You are shining in gold and rich. It's easier to be missed by ghosts."

"Pfft!" Luo Chu laughed out loud like a pig.

This little Jiang is so bad, he doesn't use dirty words when he swears, but every word pierces his heart.Doesn't this obviously satirize the other party's eyes open when he sees money, and he smells of copper all over his body!
Master Liu still didn't get angry, and murmured, "I'm stubborn, I'm stubborn, I'm stubborn."

Then he said to Gao Chu: "Since they are determined to die, this master has nothing to say. Gao Chu, let's go in through this door."

As he said that, Master Liu's compass seemed to have positioned something, and pointed to a direction, which was the south gate of the shopping mall.

Gao Gao snorted coldly: "It's just right, I don't want those dubious people to follow, who knows if it's a human or a ghost!"

Luo Chu chuckled, but did not refute.

After they took a few steps, they suddenly said: "Master, one last question, your appearance fee is so expensive, does Lao Gao get a kickback?"

Master Liu's city mansion is very deep, and his self-cultivation is in place.

No matter how provocative Luo Chu and Jiang Yue were, he never turned his back on him, and he always maintained the grandeur of a master of Taoism.

The heights were blown.

"Lao Luo, you can eat indiscriminately, but don't talk nonsense. What evidence do you have that I will take kickbacks?"

Luo Chu looked innocent: "I have no evidence, so I asked Master Liu. I didn't ask you, why are you so excited? You don't really have any problems, do you?"

"I warn you, don't spout blood!"

"Since it's all right, why are you so excited?" Luo Chu shrugged with a strange look on his face.

Master Liu stopped Gao Fang: "Let's go, why use your tongue with some dying people?"

dying person?

Jiang Yue sneered, it's hard to say who is dying.

After watching them enter the gate, Jiang Yue said, "Come on, let's take a detour, there should be a west gate over there, let's go in through the west gate."

"Don't take the underground passage?" Luo Chu was surprised.

"I was just bluffing them just now, to see if Master Liu has real talents or not."

"And then?" Luo Chu was curious.

"I can't see the depth. If this master doesn't have real talent and learning, he is definitely at the level of a movie king. Compared with him on TV, those movie stars are scumbags." Jiang Yue said truthfully.

"What kind of bullshit master? I think he is a money-swindler. If he really gets into some deadly place, he will be the first one to die!"

Sangou couldn't be more angry.

My Lord Sangou is a god-given yin and yang eye, and now I am still a man entrusted with the fate of my ancestors. I am free to enter the stage. You are a magic stick, and you charge such a high fee?
I have to say that Sangou was extremely unbalanced by that number after all the calculations just now.

A group of four quickly circled to the west gate.

The west gate was not locked, it was a glass sliding door that is common in shopping malls.

Obviously, when the accident happened, the shopping mall was still open, and the doors everywhere were still open.

This state has been maintained until now without any change.

However, after entering the glass door, passing through a door curtain, and passing through a fire exit, a group of four people officially entered the mall.

Jiang Yue deliberately took out his phone and looked at it.

Sure enough, after entering the mall, the phone lost signal.

Jiang Yue backed out from the original road again, walked more than ten meters from the shopping mall, and the signal was restored again.

After going in and out several times in a row, Jiang Yue was sure that there was no signal only in the shopping mall.

Both Sangou and Luochu looked strange, to test the signal of a mobile phone, do I need to go in and out several times?
"Luo Chu, did you find anything?"

Luo Chu shook his head: "Why does it feel like everything is normal? I don't see any problem except no one."

Sangou followed suit and said, "I didn't see anything either."

There's really nothing weird about it.

Jiang Yue's feeling was the same as Luo Chu Sangou's, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Jiang Yue didn't feel the slightest bit of death in Master Liu's so-called ten deadliest places.

This point is obviously different from Yunxi Town and Panshiling.

When I first entered Yunxi Town, although I didn't notice anything unusual for a while, the weird atmosphere that enveloped it was everywhere.

Not to mention Panshiling and Jiuliting.

Wherever ghosts gather, even if the ghosts are well hidden, with Jiang Yue's weird sensitivity now, he can always find clues.

However, in Yunshan Times Square, Jiang Yue did not find any clues.

Sangou's god-given yin and yang eyes also don't see any tricks.

"Could it be that there is a more terrifying ghost lurking in this shopping mall? It can restrain its breath to the point of being seamless?"

If such a terrifying ghost really existed, then the other party's terrifying level would definitely not be inferior to Zhao Shouyin's old Yin coin.

Luo Chu was about to lead everyone towards the opposite side.

But Jiang Yue stopped him: "Luo Chu, don't worry, let's avoid Master Liu and the others, and try not to face them face to face."

Strange to say, Master Liu and the others entered the shopping mall from the south gate. It is said that although the shopping mall is big, it is empty after all.

Even if two groups of people enter through different doors, once they enter the shopping mall, it should be easy to meet each other.After all, it was just the two of them, there was no visual barrier at all.

The strange thing is that Master Liu and his party entered the first floor of the shopping mall from the south gate, and Jiang Yue and the others entered the first floor from the west gate. The two groups of people didn't meet each other, and they didn't even hear each other's movements.

Regarding this, Jiang Yue's first thought was what happened to Jiang's ancestral hall.

He and Sangou entered the lobby of the Jiang Family Ancestral Hall at the same time, but the two of them were strangely not together.

Early the next morning, Sangou said that he was in the lobby all night.

And he, Jiang Yue, was also in the lobby all night.

Sangou said that he saw his grandfather, and Jiang Yue also saw his grandfather.

It's as if two people have entered two completely different parallel time and space.

Is this also the case in this mall?

However, after Jiang Yue observed for a while, it didn't seem to be the same.The space world in front of him does not seem to have that sense of mystery.

So, what about the other five big living people?
Through gestures, Jiang Yue signaled Luo Chu and the others to go upstairs.

In the whole shopping mall, the ground work is actually the fourth floor.

The main area is only on the third floor, and there is nothing else on the fourth floor except for a large theater and a VR experience hall.

The escalators in the shopping mall are actually still working, but they are relatively static when there is no one there.

Jiang Yue did not take the elevator, but chose the fire stairs.

A group of four people came to the second floor, but no one was found.All the merchants in the mall are open.

The shops on the second floor mainly focus on clothing, including men's, women's and children's clothing, as well as some other specialty boutiques, and of course several jewelry shops.

Except for the absence of people, all other details seemed to be in normal business.

There didn't seem to be any traces of a fight at the scene.

It was as if the entire mall had disappeared out of thin air.

Luo Chu rubbed his chin, deep in thought.

Any weird event, as long as you are willing to dig carefully, you can always find some clues.

However, he went through a lot of detailed digging just now, but he didn't find any useful clues.

There is nothing weird, but it looks even weirder.

Jiang Yue walked slowly all the way, and every time he passed a shop, his eyes searched everywhere, not letting go of any details.

Suddenly, Jiang Yue stopped in his tracks.

To be precise, he stopped in front of a women's clothing store.

His eyes stopped on a pot of green plants.

This is a pot of pothos, a fairly common green plant.Many pots of green radishes will be placed in many tooling and home decorations that have just been renovated, saying that they can absorb formaldehyde.

Of course, this is not the point.

The point is, Jiang Yue found something among the luxuriant vine leaves of the green radish.

This thing is actually familiar to him!

A women's watch, the workmanship is exquisite, the style is good-looking, but it is not a luxury watch, it is just an ordinary domestic brand with a few hundred dollars.

The most important thing is that Jiang Yue is very familiar with this watch.

A year ago, on her sister's birthday, her best friend gave her a watch of the same style.

And the one in front of her is obviously her sister's watch.

The hands of the watch were still ticking, working well as usual.

"Xiao Jiang, what did you find?"

"This is my sister's watch." Jiang Yue's face was gloomy.

According to Jiang Yue's observation, this watch definitely didn't fall here, but my sister took it off on purpose and put it in the green radish.

In other words, my sister and the others probably had an accident in this shop.

But what could happen?
If it's an emergency, shouldn't there be time to take off the watch calmly and put it in the green radish without being found?
This shows that under the circumstances at that time, my sister at least had plenty of time.

Many of the weird events before, whether they were age-eaters, replicators, or evil spirits who harmed people, were basically caught off guard.

Never give the victim any time to react, let alone take off the watch calmly.

Moreover, judging from the scene, it was obvious that no violent fighting had occurred here.

With the temperament of my sister and sister-in-law, even if they encounter a dangerous situation, it is impossible not to resist crazily.These two are the kind of masters who may risk their lives and may not admit defeat.

Jiang Yue had no doubts about this.

The old Jiang family's species are so rigid.

But why didn't they fight?

The opportunity to take off the watch shows that the personal freedom at that time was not completely lost.

If it is ghosts that restrict personal freedom, it will never give you the time to take off your watch, let alone deceive these ghosts.

But if it weren't for ghosts, it would be impossible to kill everyone without destroying the scene at all.

After all, at that time, there were at least a few hundred people in the mall!
How much noise would it take to kill hundreds of people at the same time?The scene never got out of control at all.

Luo Chu suddenly waved: "Xiao Jiang, come and have a look."

Jiang Yue walked over, and Luo stopped at the entrance of a fitting room.

"Look at this fitting room, which is obviously different from the other fitting rooms."

When Jiang Yue compared them, he immediately noticed the difference.

The door of the fitting room pointed out by Luo Chu is just a layer of wooden boards with some neat depressions in the middle. It is obvious that there should be a layer of fitting mirrors on it.

Because, the doors of the other fitting rooms are all inlaid with fitting mirrors.

"Xiao Jiang, the sunken part must be a dressing mirror, and the dressing mirror must have been broken in a short time and cleaned up."

Jiang Yue nodded.

It can be clearly seen that the missing part of the fitting mirror, the exposed wood is very new, and there are no daily stains on it.

"Huh? There seems to be blood on it?"

Next to the fitting room, there was a row of exquisite women's clothing hanging on the shelf, and there was nothing unusual about it.

Luo Chu pointed to one of the gauze skirts and told Yang Cong, "For this skirt, cut off the sleeve."

Wearing white gloves, Yang Cong took out the tools for handling the case, followed Luo Chu's instructions carefully, cut off the sleeve, and put it into the sampling bag.

Except for a little suspected blood on the sleeve, the few people checked around for a long time, but found nothing else.

If it's blood, it shouldn't just be here.

Looking at the scene, I couldn't find a second clue that could prove it.

There is no stain on the walls, ceiling, or floor.

and many more……

Luo Chu suddenly stopped in his tracks: "Xiaojiang, the ground is very clean. At nine o'clock in the evening, it should still be business hours. How can the ground be so smooth and unstained? In the few stores we passed before, the ground seemed to be dirty. Not so neat?"

Almost at the same time Luo Chu opened his mouth, Jiang Yue just noticed this.

"What we saw was by no means the first scene. It must have been sorted out!"

Luo looked around, and there were several surveillance cameras in the store.

For the monitoring in the store, the computer in the store can definitely check it.

Luo Chu walked to the computer and signaled Yang Cong to collect the fingerprints on the mouse and the table first.

Yang Cong stepped forward, and then said with a bitter face: "Luo Chu, the fingerprints on this mouse have been wiped by someone, and there is nothing left."

Luo Chu didn't seem surprised at all.

Sighed: "I guess, the monitoring in the computer must have been deleted as well."

Indeed, as Luo Chu guessed, not only the monitoring records were deleted, but the real-time monitoring was also obviously destroyed by human beings and no longer worked.

This is a bit unusual.

What monster committed the crime?

Do monsters grow so fast?Have already learned anti-reconnaissance?If it continues to grow at this rate, wouldn't the future of mankind be even more pessimistic?
Was thinking about it.

The computer suddenly went black.

The lights in the store also went out at the same time.

All equipment related to electricity suddenly stopped working.

Power out!
Fortunately, it is broad daylight, even if all electrical equipment is disabled, there is no problem with lighting.Although the shopping mall is a closed structure, the top floor is a glass structure, so there is no problem with lighting.

Jiang Yue and Luo Chu looked at each other, both a little suspicious.

Last night, such a big incident happened, and the electricity didn't stop.There's no reason why the next day, the mall is empty and the power is out?
And shouldn't the electricity of each merchant be turned off by itself after closing?

Looking at the power outage in this neat area, it is obvious that the main power has been turned off, and the power supply of the entire shopping mall has been cut off.

The power was cut off, and although it was not completely dark, the light was obviously not enough to check anything on the spot.

Luo Chu was about to speak when Jiang Yue suddenly made a gesture.

Signal others to go inside.

Jiang Yue hunched over, lurking behind the cash register.

footsteps.

Jiang Yue heard slight footsteps, and it was the footsteps of four people.

Although the footsteps were suppressed, as if they were tiptoeing and didn't want to make a sound, but Jiang Yue's enhanced body functions, his hearing was several times higher than that of ordinary people.

The deliberately suppressed sound of footsteps can be hidden from the eyes and ears of ordinary people, but it cannot be hidden from Jiang Yue.

Footsteps came from the fire exit on the other side.From the first floor, to the second floor, and then continue to approach the third floor.

Jiang Yue pricked up his ears and listened for a while, and recognized that the footsteps were indeed coming from Gao Gao and Master Liu.

The strange thing is that there are five people in their group, but the footsteps shown are only four people.

Where is the other person?
Could it be that the troops are divided into two groups?

This division of troops is obviously unreasonable. Four people will do one road, and the other will do one road?
What was even more weird was that they had just appeared on the first floor when Jiang Yue heard their footsteps.

So where were they before?

If it was in the shopping mall, Jiang Yue should have heard their footsteps long ago.

Jiang Yue suddenly had a thought: "The basement! They must have gone to the basement before!"

This was definitely not a whim. After careful deduction, Jiang Yue was at least [-]% sure that these people must have been in the underground floor before.

The sound insulation of the underground floor and the ground floor is stronger and is isolated as a whole.However, there is no obvious isolation between the buildings on the ground floor, and they are all interconnected and open, so the sound insulation effect is relatively poor.

If these few people had been in the mall for such a long time, they wouldn't have run into each other once, or even heard their voices.

There was only one explanation, they must have been in the basement before.

This operation is a bit evil.

Before that, Master Na Liu kept saying that the underground parking lot was the most dangerous place in Shijueshidi, and warned them not to enter the shopping mall through the underground opening.

Who knew that when they entered the shopping mall through the south gate, they took the initiative to go to the basement?
No matter how you look at it, there is an air of conspiracy here.

That Master Liu made all kinds of threats, maybe it was because he didn't want them to go to the basement?

Or did Master Liu and Gao Chuan hold grudges against them, thinking that they entered the shopping mall through the underground entrance and were going to the basement floor to harm them?
All kinds of possibilities exist, and it is difficult for Jiang Yue to come to a conclusion for a while.

"Master, these cowards, why didn't they come in?"

In Jiang Yue's ears, he could clearly hear the voice from above.

Although the distance between each other is at least tens of meters away, the voice from the high place is obviously suppressing the throat.

Jiang Yue felt a little strange.Although the physical function has been strengthened a lot, when did the hearing become so good?
Master Liu said sadly: "Whether they come in or not, if they offend me, Liu, their good days will not be long."
