Thinking about this, Officer Zhang has already figured out the reversal plot in which everyone is a ghost.
The priest still looked calm and composed, and said calmly: "Why are you so anxious? We don't even know yet whether the girl is really 'missing' or not."
Officer Zhang recalled his thoughts and calmed down: "You are right, I will ask them to monitor this area later."
Speaking of which, Qiuzi also lives here.
She looked back at the dilapidated low building submerged in the building complex. It seemed as if it had merged with the cloudy sky. Along with the urban village covered by the rain curtain, it exuded a dusty and decaying smell.
…
Officer Zhang sent the priest to the church, then returned to the police station and retrieved all the surveillance cameras on the street.
The entire police station seems very busy recently, but in fact they are only conducting investigations secretly because they don't know if what happened decades ago is going to happen again.
That large-scale cult gathering incident finally disappeared from the city with the suppression of the army, but who knows whether they will come back again.
There was only Officer Zhang in the quiet office. His boss was away handling the case, and the others were more or less assigned tasks.
The surveillance video next to her was playing, and she occasionally opened the file to check previous events. In this extremely silent room, a "ticking" sound suddenly sounded.
Officer Zhang suddenly raised his head, with no expression on his face, and listened quietly to this very clear voice.
Getting closer.
In the dead silence of the police station, the sound was like the ticking of a clock, or like something dripping into a pool.
Suddenly, a figure appeared at the door.
After she saw the figure clearly, she moved her hand away from her waist and said with a smile on her face: "Director, you are back."
"Well, the rain is getting heavier and heavier."
A soaked man walked in, and there were water stains on the floor as he passed by. He said lightly, picked up the towel on the shelf and wiped it.
"This weather is really inconvenient for investigation. Some clues have been washed away by the rain." Officer Zhang looked at him and said.
"What are you looking at?" The director wiped his hair and turned to look over.
Officer Zhang paused the surveillance video, frowned and said, "When I was in the old city today, I discovered that there might be an unreported missing case, so I wanted to take a look at the situation."
As he said that, Officer Zhang turned to look at his boss and saw that water was still dripping from his body and his face was pale and a little unsightly.
"You'd better go change your clothes first. If you don't hold an umbrella, you'll have to miss out on your work if you catch a cold."
"I know, I know, you are just blabbering. It's so late, you should get off work quickly, I will do the rest." The director waved his hand helplessly, took the towel, turned around and left the office.
After he left, the smile on Officer Zhang's face immediately faded.
She looked at the time on her watch and found that it was already seven o'clock in the evening without her realizing it. It was indeed long past the time to get off work.
Officer Zhang copied the data from the surveillance system and then collected all the files in the office. Before leaving the police station, she looked back and saw darkness.
The staff on duty didn’t know where they had gone.
…
The church has a very high dome, and the regularly arranged glazed windows cast a bright light on the interior.
In the prayer lounge, the priest was sitting here leisurely drinking tea. At this time, a believer wearing the same black robe walked in with his head lowered and holding many books in his hands.
"Bishop, I have brought all the previous teaching books."
The priest nodded and said calmly: "Well, put it here."
The believer put down his things and left. He didn't ask any questions from the beginning to the end, and even his expression remained stiff without any change.
The priest glanced at his back, then put down the teacup, picked up the top booklet, and started reading it by himself.
But at this time, another believer suddenly walked in and said in a puzzled tone: "Bishop, there is someone outside who says he is your friend and has made an appointment to come and see you."
The church was closed at this time, but because the other party swore that he was a close friend of the priest, and seeing how popular he was, the believers thought they might as well come in and inform him.
The priest looked calm: "Then let her come in."
He didn't say whether it was a real date. When the believer saw this, he nodded and went out.
Soon, Officer Zhang, who was holding a computer, walked in quickly without any regard for etiquette, which made the believer who was leading the way quite displeased.
The priest waved his hand to let the believers go down, then looked at Officer Zhang and raised his eyebrows with unknown meaning.
"I'll leave these things to you, I'm going to go find Qiuzi now." Officer Zhang put down all the documents and said seriously.
"Why are you so impulsive all of a sudden?" the priest asked in confusion.
"I think there is not much time. Qiuzi said that the election will be in three days." Officer Zhang put the computer down on his desk and plugged in the storage disk, saying, "But who knows if it will be over in three days."
"Are you sure you're not obsessed with her?"
"..."
Officer Zhang was caught off guard and was teased. He stopped and said helplessly: "I still know how to measure. Following the clue of the dance team, it will be a matter of time to find the mastermind behind the scenes, but we can't wait so long. My place... is no longer safe.
.”
During this period, although the police's actions were not obvious, they could not hide them for long even if they wanted to.
After all, so many people are missing and the public knows about it. It would be even more strange if the police did not take any action. How could the other party be unprepared?
They have captured so many young girls, and they have already done whatever strange things they want to do. The result may be three days later.
When the priest heard this, a mysterious smile appeared on his calm face: "Do you know when it will be in three days?"
"If you fart, hurry up."
"Okay, it's a total solar eclipse."
Officer Zhang was stunned for a moment, then suddenly blurted out: "Tengu eats the sun?!"
The priest smiled and said, "You speak very well."
Officer Zhang rolled his eyes angrily.
Although in astronomical terms, this is just an astronomical phenomenon in which the sun's light is completely blocked by the moon, among the people, it is mostly a metaphysical saying of "Tengu eating the sun."
At this time, Officer Zhang reacted again and said: "There is a question. It's raining and you can't see the sun. How can we have a solar eclipse that day?"
"Maybe it will clear up that day," the priest said.
“It’s been rainy and cloudy all day long and I can’t see the sun. Is it necessary to clear up first and then get dark again?”
"Who knows."
As for the strange rituals of those things, who knows.
Officer Zhang's expression changed several times, but he finally opened the video file on his computer and said, "You should read these information first, I still have to go find Qiuzi."
The priest didn't stop her this time. After the woman put down her things and left in a hurry, he stepped forward and closed the door of the prayer room.
Then he looked back at the pile of documents, textbooks, and surveillance videos on the desktop, and the priest let out a tired breath.
It's not safe where she is, and how safe is she here?
