Pollution throughout the territory

At a glance, Jack had spent the past two days, besides going to work, going to the bar to drink with Thomas, and then going home to sleep late at night, and couldn't find anything suspicious.

On the map, the white line representing his last day of travel pointed to this apartment. The time was one o'clock in the morning, and Jack never appeared in front of anyone again.

"It looks pretty normal."

Tang Tangtang touched his chin and said.

Captain John said: "This information is not complete. It is estimated that we need to investigate more clearly to find the problem."

The logistics team member also nodded in agreement.

Xia Ren didn't notice anything was wrong for a moment, and he looked at Qin Yun subconsciously.

Qin Yun is very smart, at least Xia Ren thinks she is smarter than him. Among the group of people, Lily and Lu Yi are both illiterate and have never even gone to school. Only Qin Yun had the highest academic level during his lifetime and was a minor achiever in quantum mechanics. Research scholars, otherwise I wouldn’t have been able to save so much money in the first place.

Noticing that Xia Ren was looking at her, Qin Yun suddenly felt a little satisfied and happy. She pointed at the white line and said, "Don't you think the time when he finally came home was a bit strange?"

John took a step closer: "What's weird?"

"Tell me about it." Xia Ren encouraged.

Qin Yun pointed to the place where Jack went home before he returned home and said, "The key point is time. How did you find out Jack's last itinerary?"

After hearing this, Xia Ren looked at the map and suddenly understood something.

The logistics team member said: "Based on the consumption records, I checked the personal accounts of Thomas and Jack at the same time. Both showed that they had spent money on travel, and then bought some drinks at the bar. Due to the rush of time, more details will be given later. I haven’t found the information yet.”

Qin Yun nodded: "That's enough for the time being. Jack and Thomas went to the bar at nine-fifteen in the evening, and Jack left at eleven-fifty-eight. The bar they went to was only a stone's throw away from Jack's house. Five kilometers, even taking into account the traffic lights on the road, I can definitely get back to the apartment within half an hour.”

Qin Yun pointed to the location of the apartment on the map: "But look, the time he appeared in the apartment camera was one o'clock in the morning, and the picture was blurry at that time, which means Thomas was contaminated when he returned to the apartment."

John stared at the short white line at the end: "In other words, it took him nearly fifty minutes to travel less than half an hour. Something must have happened during this period."

He turned around and ordered his men: "Check carefully and be sure to find out whether he went to other places!"

"yes!"

One of the team members responded and then hurried downstairs.

Xia Ren thought for a few seconds and asked, "When did Thomas leave the bar? It doesn't seem to be written on it."

The logistics team member who compiled the information said: "Thomas left twenty minutes earlier than Jack, maybe because his home is farther away."

"Twenty minutes early..." Xia Ren.

"Do you think there's a problem?" Qin Yun.

Xia Ren shook his head: "Anyway, the logistics department will first find a container and try to analyze this slime monster, and then send people to search the buildings between the bar and Jack's house, but the movement should be smaller. It's best not to alert the snake. , notify me immediately if you find anything."

Tang Tangtang asked: "What about you?"

Xia Ren said: "I'll go to the bar to see if I can find any clues."

Tang Tangtang thought for a while: "Then I won't go with you. I will search the area with the others. If we encounter a monster, we have the strength to fight here. At least I can delay you until you come."

"Can."

Xia Ren nodded.

One of them is an A-level investigator and the other is a B-level investigator. Naturally, the Logistics Department will not have any objections to their arrangements.

All residents in the apartment have been evacuated, and the building will be temporarily taken over by the foundation until the contamination inside is completely removed, and then the residents will be allowed to move back in.

Everyone came downstairs, and after a while, the logistics department drove a truck and pulled out a two-meter-high metal cylindrical sealed container from the carriage, sealed the monster inside, and transferred it to the research room.

After Lily took back part of her organization, Xia Ren took the three female relatives and drove the logistics department's car to the bar.

Speaking of which, Xia Ren sometimes feels that the combination of people like him is rather strange. Qin Yun is an infected body, Lily is an old creature, and Lu Yi is a contained object, and his identity is still unclear.

The foundation that never stops fighting pollution would actually allow them to exist and even provide help. Whenever he thinks of this, Xia Ren feels incredible and at the same time creepy.

…

…

As Qin Yun said, the distance between Jack's house and the bar was really not that far. They arrived at their destination in about fifteen minutes.

Standing at the door of the bar, Xia Ren looked up at the colorful and personalized sign above his head, feeling an indescribable feeling.

Big bird turns around?

"We are in the wrong place, right? Is this the name of the bar?"

What’s even more outrageous is that there is a geoduck painted on the upper right corner of the sign.

Xia Ren looked around, and there was a bar-like place on the entire street.

That should be it.

It is unimaginable that such a unrestrained place would appear in the historical city of Esela.

Xia Ren first used his perception ability to detect it, but found nothing unusual, and said, "Let's go in and have a look."

Because it was daytime, the bar was closed, and the glass door was locked with a metal chain.

Without thinking, Xia Ren took out the earpick from his pocket.

Ever since he became stronger, the coward's earpick has lost its original defensive role and has completely been reduced to a lock-picking tool.

Xia Ren once experimented when he was bored. After using the ear scoop once, there would be a weak period of about fifteen minutes, and then it could be used again.

After using it twice in a row, the ear scoop will collapse. At this time, you can wait for half an hour and use it a third time.

After three times, the ear pick no longer responds no matter what. If you want to use it again, you can only wait 24 hours.

So the little thing can only open the lock three times a day.

Opening the door, the smell of alcohol, detergent, and perfume suddenly spread out. It couldn't be said to be strong, but it was impressive enough.

Most of the waiters inside the bar are closed, and the space inside is relatively spacious. Because there are no people, it looks a bit empty.

The environment is relatively clean, and there is no trace of dirt on the tables, chairs, or floor. In a prominent position, there is a long metal pipe connected to the floor and ceiling. It looks like a steel pipe stage.

Behind the long wooden bar is a huge wine cabinet, which is filled with a variety of drinks.

The bartender was holding a bottle of wine in his hands and looking at it. He noticed the movement of the door opening and looked over in surprise.
