About 40 minutes later, the small steel cannon off-road off the high-speed toll station and walked along the provincial highway again, and finally arrived at Gudao Town, Guangming City.

It's a pity that I didn't meet suspicious people in the middle of the road.

He Chuansheng never stopped talking throughout the whole process, and he spoke very quickly about the victim's situation.

There are nearly 20 victims in Gudao Town, which seems to be a small number, but after reading the list, new information is constantly being archived.

As Shen Chong had previously calculated, most of the victims in the early years were concentrated in Gudao Town.

However, with the passage of time, the distribution range of the victims gradually expanded around Gudao Town, scattered to various counties and towns around Guangming City, and finally appeared in Moxi Township, Zhishui County, Yizhou City.

Of course, this does not mean that there are no new victims in Gudao Town, but the frequency of occurrence has become much lower.

This shows that the perpetrators are becoming more and more hidden, in order to hide people's eyes and ears.

He did it, and it was strange that there were nearly 20 madmen in a single town, but when the scope was expanded to several surrounding counties, it was no longer so abrupt to gather nearly 100 madmen, and the incidence of mental illness in Guangming City was only slightly higher than that in neighboring Yizhou City and other areas.

At first, Lao He was still like at the beginning, everyone read it in detail, but later Shen Chong didn't have enough time to think about it, and other regions were not very important, so he changed his words and asked Lao He to just tell him his age, gender and location.

After arriving, Shen Chong found a random restaurant in the town, parked the car at the door, and led the team to get off.

The rain stopped, and the summer rainstorms came and went quickly.

The ground is damp, the air is filled with the unique smell of mud when it is wet, and the streets of Gudao Town are sparsely populated with pedestrians after the rain.

The houses along the street are full of ancient charm.

Glazed tiles, bluestone columns, and imitation wood railings poured with cement give the town a different sense of the times.

It can be seen that the previous town leaders wanted to make great plans and lead the town to get rid of poverty and become rich.

But alas, they failed.

Not to mention pedestrians on the streets that should have been lively, there were not even a few locals, and they were all in a hurry and depressed.

Most of the shops on the street that were supposed to be prosperous shops were not open, and Shen Chong drove into the town and searched for five minutes before he found the restaurant where the owner was sitting at the door and smoking.

The whole town is not popular, and it is completely ruined.

If the situation does not improve, in a few years, I am afraid that these well-built houses will slowly age and collapse because they have been uninhabited for a long time.

The tremendous impact of the Soul Burning Thief on ordinary people came to their faces with a violent and clear posture as soon as a few people arrived.

If it weren't for the personal experience, and the perpetrator was determined to be here in advance, the feeling would not be so obvious.

"Lao He, you can see it, this is the destructive power of an evil psychic to do evil."

Shen Chong patted Lao He's shoulder and said meaningfully.

Actually, he himself is seeing it for the first time, but as the boss, I have to show that I am very experienced.

Lao He nodded, "Well, the whole town looks lifeless. ”

Shen Chong sighed, "In many places where we don't know, or where we know but don't have time to take care of it, similar things happen all the time. ”

He thought he would say next, so we should see the unevenness of the road, draw a sword to help or something.

But Shen Chong said again: "I don't have the ability to manage all the affairs of the world, but since I have met, I naturally have to do something." Not just for others, but for yourself. ”

At this time, the lineup of two people, one dog and one chicken is a little special.

Lao He carried a woven bag in his hand, and Brother Ji nested comfortably in it, only sticking out his head, pretending to be Lao He's left hand with a chicken going home to save his relatives.

Shen Chong gave the hotel owner an extra bite when he paid for the parking, "Boss, let me ask for something." ”

"You speak."

The shopkeeper lazily took the money, said without raising his eyelids, and spit out a cloud of white smoke in his mouth.

Shen Chong: "The houses in the town are so beautiful, but there seems to be no one?" ”

The shopkeeper waved his hand impatiently, "Is this nonsense that is not clear?" In the past few years, the people in the town have gone crazy one by one, and everyone says that we have fallen into evil here, and everyone who has the ability or not has the ability to run out, who wants to stay here. No one does business, and outsiders know about our place, who wants to come. And so on and so forth. The officials are really dry and don't do anything, so let the mage not be invited. Now, it's all over. I can't do it at the end of the year, it's boring. ”

"Poof......

The dog almost burst out laughing.

Shen Chongyan quickly stepped on the soles of its feet and made it brake.

The boss smiled, "Dude, you dog is so funny, you can laugh like a human." ”

Shen Chong snorted, "The earth dog is psychic, much smarter than those breeds of dogs." ”

After saying that, he hurried away, for fear of saying too much and making mistakes.

After walking out from a distance, Shen Chong glared at the dog viciously, "Fool, are you very happy now?" ”

The dog hung his head aggrievedly, the mage or something, it's very funny.

I'm usually very serious, unless I can't hold it back.

"What do we do now? I don't know if the man has returned. Brother Shen, what are your ideas? ”

It is worthy of being an old man in the rivers and lakes, and seeing people is fast, this is the first time he went out with Shen Chong to participate in the action, and quickly understood Shen Chong's behavior pattern.

He always distills useful information from the subtle information that seems insignificant.

Brother Shen asked him to read so much information about the victim just now, it must be targeted, that is, if he doesn't say it himself, no one will know what he is planning.

"Don't be in a hurry, visit more, the sun hasn't set yet, Ji Bai is still a waste chicken."

Lao He nodded, "Will we scare people away by startling the snakes?" ”

Shen Chong shook his head, "No, we are not the first group of demon slaying members to come to Gudao Town, and that person is not afraid at all." He has the confidence to hide under the eyelids of others without revealing his feet. ”

Liang Tsai wanted to ask, but held back.

Since the boss knows that the man is hiding deeply, how do you dig it out?

About half an hour later, as the sun set in the west, Ji Bai finally changed from a waste chicken to a fighting chicken, and the strength of the team increased greatly.

The disadvantage is that the woven bag that Lao He was carrying instantly became a lot heavier, so that it had to be carried by Shen Chong.

The visit of the crowd continued, and Shen Chong's question was very direct, and when he saw people, he came up and asked, I heard that there were a lot of crazy people here, what was going on, and where were those people often moving before and after the accident.

Although there is some information in the demon slayer, it is inevitable that there are mistakes and omissions, and after all, it is not as clear and careful as the locals, and the place of birth does not represent the scope of regular activities.

Because Shen Chong had documents and changed Liang Tsai into a police dog vest, he didn't encounter too many obstacles during the visit, and he could basically get some information by asking people.

The other three members of the team didn't know what Shen Chong planned to do or what specific plans he had.

Liang Tsai and Brother Ji's idea is very simple, Brother Shen is the best, he must have an idea, just follow him with peace of mind.

Lao He thought a little more, knowing that Shen Chong's every move had a purpose, and even took the initiative to speculate, because he wanted to learn.

But it's a pity that Shen Chong's moves Lao He can't learn in his life.

This relies not only on super intelligence, but also on an invincible memory that others can't imitate.

With the deepening of the visit, without others knowing, a "map" in Shen Chong's mind is gradually improving.

This "map" includes the city of Guangming and the surrounding city of Yizhou, and is not a sketchy map of the publication, but a super-detailed map of contour maps, satellite photographs, and some live-action street maps.

On this map, one red dot after another is marked, and there are nearly 100 of them.

These red dots are the list of victims in the archives, and in the process of Lao He reading them out, he marked them on the map one after another.

The red dots around Gudao Town are the most dense, and they are different from other places.

In his heart, Shen Chong specially marked each red dot in the ancient road town as a cloud of red mist.

The coverage of the red fog represents the scattered distribution of the victim's range of activity.

Every time he visits a house and gathers something new, the map in his mind is updated accordingly.

Of course, folk rumors are always complicated, some people don't remember it very well, some people habitually add oil and vinegar, and some people are extremely impatient and deliberately confuse the public.

There were many contradictions in the information that Shen Chong obtained, but this did not bother him too much, and he had his own set of means to eliminate the interference information.

He constructed a distribution map in his mind, with the purpose of using his statistical analysis ability to forcibly deduce the true identity of the perpetrator.

From arriving in Gudao Town in the afternoon to nine o'clock in the evening, as time passed, his distribution map became more complete and accurate.

"Boss, what are we going to do now?"

The group returned to the car, and Liang Zai yawned and asked.

It's not easy either, and the sense of smell hasn't been turned off, but unfortunately it can't find the direction at all.

"What's the hurry, I'll think about it first."

Shen Chong put down the chair, lay down on his back, closed his eyes and recuperated, and said so in his mouth.

When the others heard this, they didn't bother him, and as soon as Brother Shen used his brain, the immortals had to panic, and everyone waited to see what he thought.

Only Brother Ji was slightly nervous, secretly worried that Shen Chong would fall asleep carelessly, and when he woke up and it was dawn, wouldn't he be a waste chicken again?

At this time, in Shen Chong's heart, the silk threads were interrelated from one scattered point after another, forming a large net, and the huge amount of information was circulating in his mind at an extremely fast speed.

Victim Zhang, 15 years old, female, a resident of No. 33 Qianjie, Zhenjie, daily activities are at home and town No. 1 Middle School, and the date of onset is ......

Victim Chen......

Xiahou ......

And so on and so forth, and so on in his mind.

Moreover, it is not only the personal information of the victims, but also the road network and road conditions around Gudao Town that radiate to 50 kilometers are also matched with various silk threads in his mind.

Shen Chong found a pattern that several groups of victims who were younger, had poor reading performance, or were older and had various illnesses had very similar onset times.

These victims are suspected of having a poor mental state, and it is likely that they can't satisfy the appetite of the Soul Burning Thief at one time, so this bastard simply commits crimes continuously!

Shen Chong enlarged the target to a list of nearly 100 victims, and verified the information again.

If this is the case, there are several groups of similar situations in other places, and the time and place of the crime are very concentrated!

The analysis deepened, and Shen Chong began to comprehensively analyze the road conditions in all the areas where the victims of the outbreak were concentrated, and came to new conclusions.

He knew that the perpetrator's means of transportation was the 125 motorcycle, which was common in the township!

Not only that, but the Soul Burning Thief never seemed to have changed another means of transportation in all these years.

With this prerequisite in hand, the target of the search is eliminated at least 50 percent instantly.
