Chapter 1,048 Piecing Together the Route
Xuehua: "No, we can't fish anymore!"
Xue Hua: "We have to start investigating hard! If we play the merry-go-round again, we will be puppies!"
the next day.
Xuehua riding on the carousel: "...woof."
Xue Hua: "No, no, no, you can't blame me... The temptation of the carousel is really too great! It seems like we need to stay away from it to investigate!"
So, it was the next day again.
Xuehua riding on the merry-go-round: "One...it's not a violation to play once a day."
Xue Hua: "Didn't someone else say that? Once a day is not enough!"
Xue Hua: "Yeah! It's such a happy decision!"
Just like that, another two days passed.
Xuehua didn't see any clowns appearing at all, but it happened that during her surveillance period, two more children disappeared in the park.
One of the children was almost abducted, but in the end he sensed something was wrong and found an opportunity to escape. Only then, like other children in the same situation before, did he contribute valuable witness information.
Xuehua also wanted to talk to him, but she didn't have a detective certificate. Neither Jingcha nor the child's parents allowed her to get close to the victim, so she couldn't find a chance to ask.
In desperation, she had no choice but to stick a black, round bug the size of a soybean pellet to a green-haired lolita tea (this person was Shimamoto Rii, a mysterious investigator who is a scorpion demon) when she left. body, then hid in a nearby toilet and listened to their conversation on his mobile phone.
Now, she found a clue.
The little boy told the place where he saw the clown and part of the route he took with him.
...The reason why it was partial was because he couldn't remember part of the route, and he even felt that he had never seen that section of the road in an amusement park.
And what's worth noting is that when he was walking with the clown, there seemed to be suddenly fewer tourists.
But the amusement park did not become much quieter.
The last time he saw his parents, they walked towards the little boy and the clown without noticing them at all.
It was the little boy who noticed his parents and ran over to them that caught their attention.
Based on the rather fragmented route of action given by the little boy, Xuehua began to try to find out where the roads mentioned in these testimonies corresponded to the amusement park.
Obviously, the little boy was either hallucinating or entering a different space when he was traveling with the clown.
However, after Xuehua conducted an on-the-spot investigation on these sections of road, she ruled out the possibility that it was an alien space completely separate from the real world.
Because she found some "traces" that the little boy saw when he was walking with the clown.
These details were what Jingcha asked him to recall - the more detailed the things he noticed along the way, the better.
For example, when the two were walking together, the little boy saw a passerby throwing a cup of Coke on the ground, and the Coke spilled all over the floor, which impressed him deeply.
This cup of Coke that was thrown away was found by Xuehua - luckily Jingcha came quickly and asked the cleaners to stop working temporarily, otherwise it would have been swept away.
All in all, Xue Hua explored around and was convinced that at least half of the paths taken by the little boy and the clown did not exist in this amusement park.
However, these roads and the roads that actually exist in the amusement park should theoretically be put together to form a complete route map.
Xue Hua plans to do just that and tries to deduce the clown's destination.
