Chapter 1023 New Death Event [5000 Monthly Votes Requested]

Ice City is very cold, especially after October. You can still feel the chill even if there is sunshine. You need to wear more clothes when walking on the road.

Lin Mo, who had been reading the information all night, was having breakfast with Xiao Liu and the others.

The special breakfast is sesame-fried tofu and a bowl of mixed beef with soy sauce.

Needless to say, the portion was also very generous, and it was eaten piping hot, leaving a feeling of warmth from the inside out.

Xiao Liu and the others admired Lin Mo very much.

Not only because of Lin Mo's reputation as a special expert, but also because the other party had no airs at all and was very solid in his work. He studied the information all night long without taking a break. This perseverance was worthy of their admiration.

I really agree with that sentence, no one can succeed casually.

When I was almost done eating, the phone rang.

Xiao Liu picked it up and told Lin Mo that another death had been discovered and asked if he wanted to go over and have a look.

"Go, of course."

Lin Mo didn't find it strange.

Lin Mo also had some understanding of the mysterious deaths that occurred in the Ice City this time because he looked through the deaths that occurred in the previous week.

People die basically every day.

And it mainly breaks out in the early morning.

So it’s normal to receive news at this time.

It happened that I had finished eating, so I went straight to work.

Soon they arrived at a park.

At this time, many people come to the park for morning exercises, and the body was found here.

Whether the family reports the missing person first or discovers the body first depends on the location of the body.

If it sank into the river, it would take a long time to find it. The family members must have reported it first.

If it is in some place where it is easy to find, the body must be found first.

This time it falls into the latter category.

The park where the body was found has been cordoned off and local police are cooperating.

After Lin Mo and the others arrived, they entered with the green light and saw the body in the fitness equipment area.

The first time he saw the corpse, Lin Mo felt that to describe it in one word, it was a very unique death.

A person was hanging under a small horizontal bar that was only about one and a half meters high.

This man is over 1.8 meters tall. Logically speaking, it is impossible to hang him in this way. The height is simply not high enough. Even a person who wants to commit suicide cannot use this method because of his survival instinct. Hang yourself.

Unless someone killed him and hung him here.

Because the height was not high enough, the body was kneeling on the ground, with a rope around its neck, and its head held high. It must have been several hours, and the neck had been stretched a little longer.

At least that's what the visuals are like.

The corpse stared and smiled.

It seemed as if something happy had happened.

But this scene is very strange.

Especially staring at the face of the corpse for a while, seeing the weird smile on the stiff face, makes people feel chilly in their hearts.

Xiao Liu next to him told Lin Mo that this was not the weirdest thing about death.

Lin Mo nodded.

He had also read various files last night, so he knew that the deceased in this mysterious death event indeed died in an unusual way.

This one was hanged at a place far below normal human height.

There was another one who drowned in the basin.

The most exaggerated one is that he kept eating until he died.

If these people were all killed by the same evil spirit, then this evil spirit must be a very evil person.

Take pleasure in killing people.

There are dedicated people handling the investigation of the deceased's background and on-site evidence collection. Lin Mo only needs to wait for the news.

The results came out soon.

"The deceased's name is Zhou Qiang. He was thirty-one years old and a physical education teacher at Bingcheng Middle School. He had no special social background, no criminal record, and no enemies..."

To put it simply, he is a very ordinary person.

This strange murderous thing treats everyone equally, no matter who it is, it is its prey.

Among the previous deceased, one had a relatively high rank and social status, one was a certain leader of the city, and the other was a wealthy man.

But in the eyes of strange things, there is no difference whether you have money or not, whether you are a high official or a small official.

"The deceased was not married and lived alone, so no one reported the case. After checking the body, he should have died at two or three in the morning. We also checked in the nightmare world and found Zhou Qiang, so the situation is the same as the previous death."

That's all that can be investigated.

More, no more.

Because there is no way to start.

Sometimes it is difficult to solve a case because there are too many clues and it is too messy, like a messy ball of thread that needs to be sorted out to find the threads. But this one is better, there is no ball of thread at all, let alone any thread ends.

No way to find out.

Lin Mo said that there were a lot of dead people, so he couldn't just investigate one if they died, as this would inevitably distract attention and energy.

In fact, this is also what the branch leaders here mean.

Be specialized.

As long as a little bit is broken, the whole thing can be revealed.

Lin Mo thought so too.

And the point he chose was the very beginning, the beginning.

The disappearance and death of Team Leader Huang.

"How is the search for the word "hide" going?"

Lin Mo asked.

He asked Xiao Liu to study this matter yesterday. He himself was concentrating on reading the files and familiarizing himself with the situation.

Xiao Liu said that if you look at the literal meaning, there are only two meanings. One is that something mysterious is hidden somewhere; the other means hide and seek.

"hide and seek?"

Lin Mo thought about Team Leader Huang's age. It was obvious that he was past the age of playing hide-and-seek, and those two words were written on that piece of paper, which was very strange.

Not normal either.

"Is it Team Leader Huang's handwriting?"

"Yes, this has been authenticated."

Xiao Liu thought for a while and said that it might be something written by Team Leader Huang, and it had nothing to do with the disappearance or death.

indeed.

Just two words can't tell anything.

But Lin Mo thought it would be more appropriate to find out.

Lin Mo didn't want to worry too much about other murders. He had already thought about it and checked on Team Leader Huang.

Because it had only been a week, and because it was involved in this case, Team Leader Huang's body was still in the funeral parlor.

Lin Mo planned to go over and take a look.

Xiao Liu also wanted to follow, but Lin Mo said just wait, there will definitely be new deaths soon. Sure enough, Xiao Liu received the call after a while.

Lin Mo was taken to the hospital by a young expert team member.

Because of the nightmare world, many people died, but in fact they still exist in the nightmare world.

Therefore, it can only be judged as 'physical death'.

Nowadays, more and more people are dying physically, which has also spawned a business.

Custody of corpses.

Some people die physically but do not want their bodies to be burned to ashes.

what to do?

Spend money to buy a freezer and store your body in it.

It can be regarded as a thought.

Although this is not necessary in Lin Mo's opinion, there is quite a market for it.

Some people have made a fortune just by doing this.

Naturally, there is a difference between the place where normal corpses are stored and where the corpses of financial owners are stored.

One is a normal cold storage freezer, and the other is magnificently decorated, so to speak, comfortable to live in.

Lin Mo saw the body of Team Leader Huang.

The body was shapeless, but vaguely identifiable.

There was definitely nothing that could be seen from the body. Even if there was something on the body, it was taken away by investigators at the time and used as physical evidence.

But Lin Mo came in a different way this time.

He looked at the body, then closed his eyes to explore.

"Little 8, do you see anything?"

Lin Mo asked.

At this moment, Lin Mo was the only one in the morgue.

The team member who was leading the way was sent outside by Lin Mo.

At this moment, he was talking alone, and those who didn't know thought he was mentally ill.

This time when he came to Bingcheng, Lin Mo brought Xiao 8 with him.

As for Xiao Liu, she didn’t bring it, so she took her brother back to Migratory Bird City.

Under normal circumstances, Xiao 8 can already solve most of the problems and troubles.

Moreover, Xiao 8 is an invisible spiritual body. Except for Lin Mo or other big men with strong mental abilities, Xiao 8 cannot be seen at all, let alone its existence.

"Report to the boss, I didn't see anything."

Xiao 8's voice sounded in Lin Mo's mind.

"I didn't notice it either, so Team Leader Huang's spirit no longer exists. There is no trace left at all."

"Is the person not dead yet?"

Xiao 8 reminded me.

Lin Mo nodded.

He also thought so. If everyone in the real world and the nightmare world died, there would actually be some spiritual residue on the bodies.

This mental residue will take at least a month to completely dissipate.

This is normal.

If it is a person with relatively strong mental power, it will take longer to dissipate, or even not dissipate at all.

It has only been seven days now, so it stands to reason that Team Leader Huang should still have some remaining mental power.

Unless, he is not dead in the nightmare world.

If that's the case, that would be easy.

Lin Mo had many ways to find Team Leader Huang.

"Xiao 8, look, I've only been here for less than a day, and I've already made progress. This shows that it's better to let professionals do professional things."

Lin Mo started to brag.

What can Xiao 8 say, fanning the flames of Lin Mo and complimenting him endlessly.

I don’t know what kind of movies Little 8 has watched or what kind of cultural influences she has received in normal times, but now she is actually speaking with respectful words one after another.

You are right about everything you say about the boss, Boss Niupi. My respect for the boss is like the endless flow of a river, or like the Yellow River that is flooding out of control.

Although Lin Mo felt that this was wrong, hearing it made him feel comfortable.

No wonder people like to hear such flattery.

It just feels good.

Lin Mo decided to fall asleep in the morgue.

This place is nice, very cool, and most importantly, quiet.

After talking to the expert team members outside and letting Xiao 8 stare at him, Lin Mo sat on the chair and closed his eyes to sleep.

The morgue in the nightmare world is even more eerie.

Fortunately there are no bodies.

Lin Mo had only speculated that Team Leader Huang only died in the real world and not in the nightmare world.

But this is just speculation and needs to be confirmed.

In addition, if you disappear in the nightmare world, you also need to find a way to find the other person and ask what happened.

The first thing is to make sure the opponent is dead.

Lin Mo decided to ask Xiao Yu first.

Xiaoyu's fighting ability has overshadowed her original characteristics as a pen fairy.

But in the final analysis, Xiaoyu is a pen artist.

She has the gift of prediction and divination.

In the past, Lin Mo caused trouble everywhere, so he naturally wanted Xiaoyu to be as powerful as possible, and he trained her as a thug.

Later, Lin Mo discovered that this was wrong.

Too one-sided.

I was still young then.

Xiaoyu is definitely a genius.

It should be cultivated comprehensively and should not be partial to specific subjects.

Fortunately, Lin Mo felt that it was not too late to repent now, so in the future, he had to find ways to cultivate Xiaoyu's pen fairy ability, and try to let Xiaoyu do as little as possible in the future.

Xiaoyu has been following him through life and death for such a long time. Xiaoyu has definitely worked hard and accomplished a lot, and it’s time to enjoy it.

After calling out Xiao Yu, Lin Mo took a pencil and asked in his diary.

Team Leader Huang’s full name is Huang Wenbin.

So Lin Mo directly asked Huang Wenbin whether he was dead or alive.

Lin Mo hopes Xiao Yu can give her the answer he hopes for.

Xiaoyu glanced at Lin Mo with a helpless look in her eyes. Maybe she thought this question was a bit difficult?

Lin Mo didn't understand the female ghost's thoughts.

Fortunately, Xiao Yu thought for a long time, held Lin Mo's hand, and wrote three words in the diary.

Lin Mo took a look and saw that it said 'I don't know. ’

Lin Mo was disappointed at first.

That's because Xiaoyu didn't seem to sense the answer he wanted, but Lin Mo soon felt that there was no need to be disappointed.

Anyway, he had thought about it and would find a way to let Xiaoyu improve his abilities in the future.

And what Xiaoyu wrote was ‘I don’t know’.

What does this mean?

This shows that Team Leader Huang may not really be dead.

It is possible to survive, at least this possibility is very high at present.

The forecast for light rain gives a fifty percent chance.

Since the spiritual power on the corpse could not be sensed before, this provides a 50% possibility.

After calculating this, Lin Mo felt that he was at least 70% sure.

Next, Lin Mo took out a paper crane and while writing Huang Wenbin's name, he asked Xiao Yu how he could improve your pen fairy's prediction ability.

Xiao Yu started to think about it again.

After writing the name on the paper crane, he blew his breath and tried to fly.

Sure enough, it flew.

However, the morgue is closed, and the doors and windows are closed, so the paper crane cannot fly out.

At this time, Xiao Yu reached out to hold Lin Mo's hand and wrote on the paper: I need to eat some special ghosts, the ones with the same predictive ability as me.

Understood.

This is called replenishing what you eat.

I didn't expect it to be so simple. Lin Mo had also patronized Xiao Yu to improve his combat power before, but now he thought of making up for his shortcomings.

"Don't worry, Xiaoyu. I promise you that if you encounter a nightmare with the ability to predict, I will catch it for you to eat."

After Lin Mo finished speaking, he asked Xiao Yu to come back. He opened the door and the paper crane flew out.

Lin Mo naturally followed closely behind.

Since Zhihe can find people based on their names, it means that Huang Wenbin should only have died physically.

But what is going on?

Logically speaking, his body can only be used by himself.

But the other party committed suicide.

And he still drowned in the smelly ditch.

Taking ten thousand steps back, even if you don't want to live in the real world and want to commit suicide, there are many ways to drown in a smelly ditch. This is really incomprehensible, completely incomprehensible.

Moreover, according to Huang Wenbin's colleagues, Team Leader Huang is serious and responsible for his work. He has a wife and children. No matter how you look at it, he should not be the kind of person who wants to die.

So Lin Mo felt that there was something else in this matter.

The specific details can only be found out by finding Huang Wenbin.

After coming out of the morgue and outside, Lin Mo followed Zhihe all the way.

I also met some people on the way.

It must be the staff here, all of them were very surprised. They didn't know what Lin Mo did, and some wanted to come over for questioning. Lin Mo directly showed his ID.

There is no need to open it, the General Administration logo on the outside is enough to scare most ordinary people.

Got outside.

This is the edge of Ice City's safe zone.

The Ice City safety zone is not particularly large.

Of course it is far worse than Qianlong City and Swallowing Whale City, but it is still a little better than Migratory Bird City.

Migratory Bird City doesn't even have a serious safety zone at all. The safety zone in Migratory Bird City is actually self-organized, and its center point is Luyuan Community.

At first, Lin Mo thought that the people from the Ice City Security Bureau had never been able to find Huang Wenbin in the nightmare world. Unless the other party in the nightmare world was also dead, the other party was most likely outside.

After all, the outside is vast and it is impossible to find it as long as you go out.

But what Lin Mo didn't expect was that the paper crane did not fly outside, but instead flew toward the center of the Ice City's safe zone.

This is indeed a bit unexpected.

Could it be that Huang Wenbin has always been in the city?

Then why didn't he show up?

Or is it that he is controlled by something and cannot get out or deliver the message?

This is very likely.

Because it is daytime, there are very few people on the streets in the Ice City safety zone.

And the management here is stricter.

There is no night market in a nightmare world like Hidden Dragon and Swallowing Whale. After everyone falls asleep here, it is best to stay at home and not go out.

Don't cause trouble for yourself, and don't cause trouble for others.

In front is a shopping mall.

It's very big and luxurious.

However, there was no one in the nightmare world, and it looked eerie. The paper crane flew over, went directly around to the entrance of the underground garage, and flew downwards.

Lin Mo also followed.

There aren't many cars down here. I guess all the usable cars were taken away during the first nightmare projection.

The underground garage was already eerie, and there were no lights, so it was pitch dark below and almost nothing could be seen.

Lin Mo couldn't see clearly after taking two steps. It couldn't be said that he couldn't see his fingers, but his eyes were completely black.

Only the sound of paper cranes flapping their wings could be heard in the extremely empty and quiet environment.

Whoops, whoops!

Lin Mo took out the brick hammer and shook it.

Green flames burst out.

It's a lot brighter now.

Continue forward and go down to the second floor of the underground parking lot.

It's darker and emptier here, and it's obvious that no one has been here for a long, long time.

The paper crane is still flying hard in front.

At this moment, Lin Mo suddenly had the idea that he was so used to acting alone that he forgot to call for reinforcements.

This is not right.

Lin Mo was not afraid of anything, he just felt that everyone should work together on this matter, otherwise, others would say that he was a solitary eater.

But then I thought about it, I haven't discovered anything yet, it would be better to talk about it after there is progress.

Continue down.

Three floors underground.

Four underground floors.

There are four floors in total. Lin Mo had seen the structural diagram on the wall when he entered the underground parking lot.

There is a very strange smell here.

It's the stuffy and musty smell that comes with no air circulation for a long time.

At this time, Lin Mo saw the paper crane falling.

Look in the direction where the paper crane fell.

Lin Mo's eyes widened and he looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.
