Weird Regulator

The unique fireworks show lit up the night sky of Orange Lake and also kicked off this unknown special project.

The fireworks around the outer perimeter of Orange Lake Fort were the first to be launched into the sky. The sound of gunpowder bursting rose from the ground to the air, bringing a shrill roar.

The sound of the fireworks exploding was only a small point at first, but then it turned from a point to a line, and from a line to a surface.

A regular circle appeared in the sky, and the spotlights on the ground pointed from the ground to the sky. The lights and the firelights complemented each other, and the night became bright and colorful.

The fireworks on the periphery were just a warm-up, and the various types of fireworks hidden in the pond were on stage next.

They exploded one after another in the water, and rose one by one in the collision of water and fire, outlining beautiful patterns on the canvas of the night.

The crowds on Orange Lake Square also began to surge at this moment.

New Year's Day, the arrival of the new year, this fireworks came at the right time.

Under the fireworks, tourists raised their mobile phones one after another, and flashlights lit up, representing that people carefully recorded this beautiful moment.

In the huge crowd, more than a dozen shop assistants have been completely diluted, and their faces are all tired and numb, which is completely opposite to the surrounding atmosphere.

This scene is very good, but it has no value and meaning to them.

This is a group of people who have nothing to do with all happiness and beauty. In the difficult and long task, they have abandoned or forgotten everything early.

Only on the side of the Lake Center Restaurant, a few people with different ideas gradually revealed their figures.

This building has seven floors, and there are 17 rooms facing the Orange Lake Square.

Ji Li and Fang Shenyan are on the 4th floor. Soon, several familiar figures appeared on the balconies of the 5th, 6th and 7th floors.

Hou Guisheng and Chang Sheng stood on the balcony on the 5th floor. Their vague conversation came in the wind, which was also related to the fireworks show.

Li Guanqi, Su Chenghe, and Huangfu Jiajia were on the 6th floor, which was a little far away, so it was unclear what they were talking about.

On the 7th floor were Clyde, Huang Banxian, Bailang, Xue Tingtao, Wei Guang...

Except for Li Yi and Luo Xian, almost all the important figures of the ten branches had booked rooms at the Lake Center Restaurant.

This location obviously had to be booked in advance and could not be reserved, but for these top store managers, it was a confirmed fact that there was something strange about the fireworks show, so they all came to the same side to watch.

However, Ji Li and Fang Shenyan got more specific information based on this guess.

"20.17, 20.24, 20.30, what will happen at these three important time points?"

The time of the fireworks show is from 20.10 to 20.30, and the three time points are included in this event.

With the fireworks as the background, Ji Li could see that the host had begun to appear on the giant stage in the center of the square.

The host was wearing a suit, holding a microphone, standing on the stage with a festive look, and talking about the next program list.

The radio is in every corner of Orange Lake, so Ji Li can also hear his voice clearly.

At 20:17, there will be a song medley on stage, performed by a five-member band, which will last about 4 minutes.

At 20:24, the magician Jack's performance will be in the second minute, and he will go off the stage to interact with the audience.

At 20:30, the performance troupe from the south will perform traditional skills, fire pots, in the center of the square to ignite the enthusiasm of the scene.

After that, the fireworks are over, and the rest is the 30-minute show until 9 pm.

For the clerks, the notice issued by Tianhai is only set at "20.10-20.30", and the gossip of the man in the suit also happened within these 20 minutes.

At present, there is nothing special about the three nodes corresponding to the three programs, songs, magic, and fire pots.

But the man in the suit should not lie.

Because it hopes that Fang Shenyan can get back its real body hidden in the horror house, it must try its best to ensure Fang Shenyan's survival.

This may be why it told this gossip.

But from this point, some vague information can also be analyzed-this fireworks bureau will probably be difficult and dangerous.

There was a faint whisper from the acquaintances upstairs, but Ji Li couldn't hear it clearly because the scene was too noisy.

He didn't communicate with Fang Shenyan anymore. It was inevitable to have preconceived ideas when analyzing anything now. He had to wait patiently in the next 20 minutes and pay attention to three time points.

What exactly is the fireworks bureau? I'm afraid it will only be clear after it's over.

This performance is a feast and a family fun for real tourists, but it is a huge torment and torture for every clerk.

It's not just the ignorant clerks in the square, but also the same for everyone in the Lake Center Restaurant.

The managers on the 5th, 6th and 7th floors did not have a clear goal. They also attached great importance to this bureau. The strong intuition made everyone nervous and dared not miss every glance and every detail.

But even so, as the event progressed, the information they could dig out was extremely scarce.

As for Ji and Fang, who had been warned in advance and even had detailed time points, when the activity was halfway through and it was already 20:24, their brows were frowning more and more.

It was not until Jack on the stage bowed that they looked at each other, and Ji Li said frankly:

"Nothing strange?"

Fang Shenyan was also frowning. After a moment of silence, he shook his head and responded:

"At least, I didn't notice it."

At 20.17, the band performed on the stage during the song medley, and they didn't even leave the stage for 4 minutes.

At 20.24, after the magician Jack interacted with the first row of tourists with a black box, there was nothing unusual except that a rabbit and a pigeon appeared from the box.

This performance is nothing new, and it mainly serves to set off the atmosphere, but it usually ensures that the event goes smoothly and there will be no mistakes.

In this case, for Ji Li and others, there is even less abnormality.

Until this moment, Ji Li suddenly realized something, and the other party Shenyan whispered:

"Could it be that these important time points are not corresponding to the program, but to the audience seats?"

At this point, the two changed their perspective and moved their eyes from the most eye-catching stage to the huge crowd.

And the next few minutes will be several times more difficult for them than before.

First, due to the limitation of the venue, the Lakeside Restaurant is a bird's-eye view. From a high position, all you can see are dark groups of people, making it difficult to see the details;

Second, there are too many tourists, as dense as a group of ants, and you can only see a rough outline at most, and you can't determine who is abnormal;

Finally, the clear time node corresponds to the vague object, and it is completely impossible to identify which person, which area, and which angle is the source of the strangeness.

Therefore, when the fireworks completely stopped blooming and the host on the stage came on stage again, the game was also dissolved for the store clerks.

But Ji Li and Fang Shenyan, the two top figures who got the hint in advance, didn't have any clues.

They were like this, not to mention the other store managers upstairs.

The fireworks game ended here, and the store clerks showed signs of leaving, but the store managers did not move at all, and their brows were frowning.

Ji Li's thoughts fluctuated slightly, and he felt that this fireworks game suspected of a special project should have just arrived at this moment.

Sure enough.

As soon as he had this thought, his cell phone suddenly buzzed.

Not only him, but also Fang Shenyan beside him. The same cell phone notification sound came from the balconies on the upper floors.

It was another group announcement.

When Ji Li turned on his cell phone and clicked on the latest email, the cold light illuminated his slightly ugly face.

The message in this email was very short, with only two sentences -

"Special project fireworks show is on, please receive and execute it, Manager Ji Li.

During the fireworks, one person died within the scope of Orange Lake Square.

Please find his body, restore the death process, and arrest the real murderer before 9 pm."

But what really made Ji Li change color was not the project, but the photo attached to the information.

In the photo, he stood on the balcony on the 4th floor and looked down at the square, concentrating on observing something carefully. At the same time, Fang Shenyan's half body was also in the right side of the photo.

Someone took a photo for them and put it in the notification email...
