The whistle hissed, and the train stopped at the station.

The trio also stepped off the platform after the train had stopped.

There was only the cold platform, and the bleak autumn wind carried a few fragments of newspapers and broken dead leaves on the ground everywhere, and there was no trace of any living creature on the entire platform except for the three of them.

To be honest, if it weren't for the maintenance of the platform, An Yizhi almost thought that this was an abandoned unmanned station.

Moreover, it seems that they are the only ones who get off at this stop, and they don't see anyone else getting off the train.

Doesn't it feel good......

Especially when I saw the train restart as soon as the three of them got off the train, and left the platform as if they were fleeing, the bad feeling became even stronger.

The other two also looked at the empty platform, which they had never seen such a deserted train station for children living in big cities.

"Brother An, what should we do now? Straight into town? ”

The brave invincible seemed a little eager to try, An Yizhi really didn't understand, obviously they were all compatriots who were afraid of ghosts, why was he so interested in this kind of dungeon.

"No, there's no hurry, just wait."

An Yizhi groaned:

"The opening CG says that we were commissioned by a friend to help, and if I guessed correctly, there should be someone to greet us."

As soon as the words fell, the three of them saw a young man shivering in a coat in a wrapped coat came out of the guard booth not far away, he looked like he had been waiting for a while, and his face was red from the cold with a little childishness.

"You must be Mr. An Yizhi and his party."

The man saw the three of them with a big smile on his face. It shouldn't be acting, I guess he's happy from the bottom of his heart to be able to leave this windy platform.

"Welcome, my name is James. Lee, a rookie detective at the Sparnet Police Department, was asked to meet me here. ”

As he spoke, he walked briskly over to the three of them, his hands raised, as if he wanted to shake hands.

An Yizhi was about to respond, but he didn't expect him to skip him, grab the hand on the grass from the plain and shake it vigorously......

"But by the time I got to you, the train was late, and I almost thought I was going to freeze to death on the platform."

The embarrassment on the grass on the plain:

"That, Mr. Ann is the one."

An Yi fingered: "......"

–‐‐——–‐‐——

James reacted and quickly apologized, it was really not polite to admit the wrong person.

This guy's temperament is very similar to that of the brave invincible, they are all the kind of character like the big boy next door, even if he does something wrong, it is difficult for people to dislike him. Besides, Ann Yizhi is not so stingy as to worry about this with an NPC.

The group left the platform and walked through the station, which felt like a mine, to the road outside.

James picked them up in a van-like police car, which was probably a commercial vehicle of this era, and it had plenty of capacity.

Maybe it's a similar personality, the brave invincible seems to be familiar with James a few words, and when he got into the car, he still wanted to sit in the co-pilot, but he was dragged by Ann's fingers, so he was a little reluctant to sit in the back seat of the car.

An Yizhi couldn't help but sigh, this reckless man's character hasn't changed at all even after so long......

Both Lili Yuan Shangcao and An Yizhi understand that since they have officially entered the city, it means that the plot has begun. The main quest reads, 'There are players who survive until the end of the story'. Then, maybe there will be a fatal danger at some point.

Sitting in the front seat of the car, in case of a car accident, it is called a tragedy, or a safe point in the back seat.

Don't blame An for pointing out that they are too careful, with the system's pit daddy peeing, no one can say for sure.

The vehicle starts and drives onto the main road.

An Yizhi found through the car window that there were very few pedestrians on the road, and even if there were, most of them acted in groups of threes and twos, and very few walked alone, and the vehicles passing by on the road also seemed to be in a hurry, as if staying on the street for one more second would be more dangerous.

"It's been so deserted on the streets?"

Leaving the grass on the plain, he asked James in the front seat.

"Not before."

After passing through a group of housewives carrying shopping bags, James replied:

"Recently, there has been a lot of peace in the city, and everyone is worried that they will be the next missing people, some people have temporarily moved to relatives in other places, and most of the rest have reduced their number of trips."

"Just because five are missing?"

Ann interjected strangely.

I feel that it's just that the five missing people shouldn't cause a widespread panic, and at most they should be more careful when they go out or something.

"So far, more than 80 people have been confirmed missing."

"80?"

James smiled wryly:

"At first, it was just some homeless people and prostitutes who ran away from home and wanted to get some money to spend, and then it developed to the point that they would disappear inexplicably if they stayed at home, plus some media who were afraid that the world would not be chaotic."

It seems that no matter what time it is, the media is a bunch of annoying guys.

"There was a lot of pressure in the bureau, and all of my colleagues canceled their vacations, and they were all rushed to patrol the streets by the director, but this could not prevent the disappearances from happening. The hair that the boss was worried about was almost gone, and his hairline was two centimeters higher."

It sounds a little weird how the disappearance happened.

In a city's police station, there must be a lot of police officers, and there are still people who dare to commit crimes against the wind in such a fanfare patrol, are they bold or believe that the police can't catch him?

And......

"Could someone have leaked the police patrol route?"

Only this guess is more reliable, if the prisoner does not know the patrol route of the police, it is impossible to avoid it perfectly again and again.

"What Mr. Li said makes sense, the director also thought about it, and later changed the patrol method, all the police officers don't know the patrol routes of other people, even the director himself is not clear, and there are many intersections in many places, but even so, there are still disappearances."

As a result, the number of ghosts in the police station has been greatly reduced.

However, this situation not only did not make An Yizhi and Lili Yuan Shangcao feel reassured, but another bad thought came to mind.

Since there are no internal ghosts in the bureau, and the prisoner can evade patrols and commit crimes again and again without being caught, does he have super high anti-reconnaissance skills, or does he have some supernatural power......

There are still too few clues to make a casual conclusion.

An Yizhi and Lili Yuan Shangcao glanced at each other, and both of them understood that no matter how the prisoner did it, the most important thing now was to collect clues.

As for the invincible brave......

Forget it, don't expect him to use his brain.

James reached out and took a cigarette case from his bosom and shook it:

"Do you mind ......?"

"Please take care of yourself."

Waiting for the red light, he lit a cigarette, took a big puff, and spit it out, as if spewing out all the depression in his chest.

Recently, the Sparnet Police Department has been really depressed, unable to catch the culprit, unable to solve the incident, the media has been hyping up the incompetence of the police, pressure from the people and city leaders, and everything has brought oppression to the officers.

"By the way, where is your leader?"

An Yizhi didn't know what the name of the person who invited them here was, so in order not to show it, he changed his name.

The trick was so successful that James didn't realize it was wrong, he spat out a smoke ring, restarted the car, and said:

"The boss is looking for a hotel, we have very few hotels here, and many hotels are temporarily closed, but don't worry, there is really no place for you to stay with me, there are many rooms."

To be honest, An Yizhi also prefers to live in James's house, this copy is on sleep mode as always, according to the previous urine nature of the system, it is impossible to say that nothing happens in the middle of the night, and it is better to live in a policeman's house than a hotel with a dense floating population.

"We'll talk about the residence later, we want to know a little more about the case."

"What do you want to know? Away from Mr. ”

"What are the occupations of the missing people? Are there any common features? ”

James thought for a moment:

"Professions don't have much in common, and at first they disappeared as homeless people, and then maybe they were afraid of being the next target, so they all managed to leave the city. The people who disappeared later had all occupations, and there was nothing noteworthy about their age or gender. ”

"Did they have anything in common where they ended up?"

"No, the first people who disappeared were concentrated in the East District, which was the Red Light District, and then slowly spread to the whole city."

"Are there no eyewitnesses? For example, the last person to see the missing person. ”

"This ......"

James smiled awkwardly:

"I'm a newcomer who just recently graduated from the police academy and entered the police department, and it wasn't long ago that I tracked down this case, so it's better to ask the head for too detailed information."

James is also miserable, a rookie criminal police officer who has just graduated from the police academy has encountered such a difficult case.

"We're almost there, just around the corner, and the boss said he'd go to the bar to meet him when he got someone."

The whole street seems deserted, and the only place with a 'human touch' is the bar.

–‐‐——–‐‐——

The bar has a retro vibe, with an all-wood décor and furnishings that are very classical.

It was afternoon, but there were already a lot of people sitting in the bar, including sturdy workers and polite office workers.

James led the three into the bar, and after a bit of searching, found the person they were looking for at the bar.

"Boss, I got it."

The man looked to be in his 50s, a burly man, wearing a black tweed coat, and was sitting at the bar for a drink.

Wen Yan turned his head, revealing a weather-beaten face, and a slender scar on the left side of his cheek, which was very eye-catching.

This is a guy that people know at a glance that they are not easy to mess with, and if he is a police officer, he must be an experienced and experienced police officer.

When he saw An Yizhi and others entering the door, he immediately showed a smile that could scare crying children:

"Oh, Ann Yizhi, my friend, you're finally here."

After speaking, he stood up and gave An Yizhi a sturdy hug, and the body odor mixed with the smell of sweat, tobacco and alcohol, coupled with the super strength, almost rolled An Yizhi's eyes.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but I can't think of anyone else who can help me."

After speaking, he looked at the invincible brave and the grass on the plain:

"Who are these two?"

"They are my friends, and they are all criminal police, so I asked them to come and help."

As soon as he heard that it was a peer, the old policeman smiled:

"Welcome, welcome."

also gave each of them a bear hug, and the grass on the plain, who was a little clean, almost didn't spit out.

Don't look at their appearance, they are quite familiar, in fact, An Yizhi still doesn't know what this thing is called!
