Chapter 401, Strange Tales in the Children's Palace (1)

"Dead?"

I was taken aback, I really didn't expect the demon hunters to be killed too.

"Yes, when we got to the scene, the picture was terrible, on the ground. On the walls, shredded pieces of organs could be seen everywhere. Blood flowed everywhere, and at the same time, the demon hunter's own internal organs had also been eaten, and the reason why it was said to have been eaten up was because several of us found some bite marks in his body, and the photo was also taken at the time, but the file was missing, and the photo was also missing. ”

Lao Xiong added.

"Did you find any demonic energy? As far as I know, it is difficult for sub-demons to hide their demonic energy, although their spiritual intelligence should be relatively high, but it is still much worse than those demons who have enough Taoism and can turn into human form, and it is basically impossible to hide demonic energy. ”

Hearing Chu Qiao's question, Lao Xiong shook his head and said, "I still haven't found any demonic energy. Our clues were also broken, originally the demon hunter we invited said that he had found the traces of the monster, but he did not notify us in advance before he died, and afterwards we also wanted to find the whereabouts of the monster according to the traces of the demon hunter before his death, but we never found any similar clues, fortunately, there were no similar cases in Chongqing in the following decades, but if you count the demon hunters, a total of fifteen people have died at the hands of this sub-demon in the past fifty years. ”

The clue was broken like this, Chu Qiao and I looked at each other, and no one spoke. Lao Xiong stood up at this time and said with a smile: "By the way, you are estimated to have to stay in Chongqing for a while, I arranged a hotel, let Xiao Zhang take you there in a while, I still have a little matter to deal with at hand, okay, come with me." ”

Chu Qiao and I stood up, clasped our fists and saluted and walked towards the door, Xiao Zhang sent us to a nearby hotel that looked good, Chu Qiao and I stayed in a room, and Xiao Zhang left. We packed our bags and chatted. Giant table tennis skills.

"What do you think of this case?"

I asked as I put my luggage away.

"First of all, not to mention the intensity of the investigation during the Wei Bin period, I think it is still excusable that the truth of this case was not found out at that time, first, there must be a shortage of manpower at that time, plus when New China was just established, Chongqing had just been liberated in 50 years, according to historical calculations, Chongqing was liberated at the end of November and early December in 49 years, and in 50 years, Chongqing had just experienced a year after the war, not to mention that there were still those enemy elements who secretly sabotage, Just those lonely souls and wild ghosts who died because of the war were enough to drink a pot of the Chongqing branch of the fifth group of the newly established national brand. Therefore, I am not surprised that Wei Bin did not investigate the truth of the case, but I wonder why Lao Xiong did not investigate it. ”

Chu Qiao is really a very smart person. did not blindly believe the words of Lao Xiong, but had his own analysis.

"Oh? How so? ”

I asked with a smile.

Lao Xiong took his master's class and became the head of the Chongqing branch. The ability must be there, but a sub-demon that the demon hunters invited by Wei Bin can investigate in a short period of time, he hasn't found it until today, this doesn't make sense, and it's not right, besides, Wan Lin, have you noticed? The file is such an important thing missing, Lao Xiong and his attendant Xiao Zhang, the two of them don't seem to be nervous at all, on the contrary, they have been chatting with us very calmly, and there will be such a calm expression, there are only two possibilities, one is that he doesn't care about these three files at all, in other words, he doesn't want to solve the case at all, although Lao Xiong's memory is good, and he also memorizes the contents of the file, but if we don't study the file, we don't look at the file, how can we judge whether Lao Xiong's words to us are true? Was it a subjective assumption on his part or did it really happen? Dossiers don't deceive, but people do. Of course, I have another, even more terrible guess. ”

Speaking of this, Chu Qiao paused, and I continued his words and said: "That is Lao Xiong pretending to be calm, in order to hide his weakness, he must have a deep understanding of this case!" Even the case itself involves his own safety! ”

My words coincided with Chu Qiao again, and he smiled slightly: "But it's useless for us to guess here, the key is to investigate, I see that it's still early, why don't we go to the old mansion in the afternoon?" By the way, you can also eat the hot pot of Dunshan City, but I have always wanted to try the authentic spicy hot pot in Chongqing. ”

I couldn't see that Chu Qiao was still a foodie, so I laughed and said, "Okay, then let's leave now." ”

Since we were suspicious of Lao Xiong, we naturally wouldn't let our whereabouts be exposed to him, so we didn't inform Lao Xiong, and we took a taxi to the old mansion by ourselves.

Fifty years have passed, and much of the evidence has faded through time, and many of the people who witnessed this bizarre case have died.

Now the old house that has been converted into a children's palace looks a little depressed and deserted, in 2004, our group of teenagers on the tail of the post-80s have also begun to run Internet cafes, and even the game room is not going, the children's palace is a place suitable for children to play has lost its popularity, the group of post-90s was just children at that time, and they have begun to play with various game consoles bought by their parents, so no one went to the children's palace, so when we arrived, there was basically no one in the children's palace, and the outline of the old house was still there, the door frame, and the column, The stone lion in front of the gate, as well as the overall structure are still clearly visible, the iron door is open, next to it is the guard room, which is also the ticket office, and when I look inside, the children's palace is empty, and some of the more childish game tables are quietly placed.

We walked to the door and looked into the janitor's room, where an old man with gray hair was sitting listening to the radio, wearing a white undershirt, with his back to us and not seeing us.

Chu Qiao raised his hand and knocked on the glass, the old man didn't seem to have good ears, so he still didn't notice us, I whispered in Chu Qiao's ear: "Let's go in and have a look, and then come out later." ”

Chu Qiao nodded, followed me and walked in lightly, sure enough, the old man didn't see us from beginning to end, and walked into the interior of the Children's Palace, divided into two floors, no longer the appearance of the year, fortunately, I was already mentally prepared, sighed and said: "Let's go in and take a look, I don't know if the cellar is still there." ”

Raised his feet and walked into the Children's Palace, as soon as he walked inside, he immediately felt a little gloomy, it was still sunny outside, but the house felt a lot darker, and the air seemed to exude a faint ominous feeling.

"I'll go upstairs, you go downstairs, and look separately."

Said to Chu Qiao, and then raised his feet and walked upstairs, the upstairs have been built into game rooms, there must be no clues, but this is Uncle Quan's test of Chu Qiao, I am just accompanied.

There are some old photos hanging on the wall, but they are all photos from the 80s and 70s, and they are basically children, the stairs are still wooden, and there will be a soft "creak" sound when you step on them, and the doors of the game room are tightly closed, and it seems that they are not open to the public because they are not popular.

After walking around, the second floor was really not big, and sure enough, there was nothing to be found, but just as I was about to go downstairs, my eyes caught a glimpse of a golden object hanging at the gate where we entered.

Maybe it was because Chu Qiao and I didn't pay attention, I didn't notice this thing at all when I just walked in, and I happened to be standing on a high place at this time, and with the reflection of the sunlight outside, I saw it.

Pacing downstairs, standing at the gate and looking up, I was stunned, a golden gossip mirror inlaid on the door frame, I just thought it was hanging, but a closer look was actually embedded in the door frame, I jumped up and sprayed, my fingers touched the gossip mirror and immediately felt that there was aura flowing in it, that is to say, this gossip mirror is not a fake, but a real magic weapon.

At that moment, a hoarse old voice rang out outside the door behind me.

"Who are you? How did you get in without buying a ticket? ”

I was stunned, and when I looked back, I saw the old man of the doorman!
