Under the night sky, the familiar cell phone ringtone rang.
"Vice team."
"Qiye, the whereabouts of that car have been found." Wu Xiangnan's voice came from the other end of the phone, "Five minutes ago, it drove out of the fork in Huashan Road and crossed Zhufang Road. The last surveillance camera captured him.
It's at the entrance of Erdao Alley."
"Er Dao Alley?" Lin Qiye frowned tightly.
The road there is so narrow, can a van pass?
Maybe, but why was he going there? There was nothing there except old abandoned buildings.
"Also, I checked the owner information of that car and found that the owner was not a Cangnan local, and the car was supposed to be a red Toyota, and it should be a fake."
"I see."
Lin Qiye hung up the phone, without any hesitation, and rushed towards Erdao Alley.
Fortunately, he is a native of Cangnan, otherwise he might not even know where Erdao Alley is. As an old alley that was unknown decades ago, it can be said that it has completely faded out of everyone's sight. According to Dafa
Most Cangnan locals don't know that such an old alley still exists in this modern city.
In other words... the person who stole the body was also a Cangnan native?
But why did he steal those three corpses?
Didn't he only steal the "mysterious" corpse? But those three were just ordinary people... Could it be that he wanted to investigate the "mysterious" body and find its whereabouts first before the night watchman?
Judging from the current situation, this seems to be the most reasonable explanation.
After knowing the destination, Lin Qiye jumped around the city. He went straight to the outskirts of the old city and quickly ran towards Erdao Alley based on the route he remembered in his mind.
Soon, he arrived at the entrance of Erdao Alley.
On a remote suburban road, there is a dilapidated lane with no light. The old factories standing on both sides have been abandoned for more than ten years. This place has no popularity at all.
Lin Qiye narrowed his eyes and walked towards the dark alley.
His mental perception has already covered the maximum range, and he is always paying attention to the surroundings. Within a radius of a hundred meters, no detail can escape his perception.
After walking along the alley for about ten minutes, Lin Qiye stopped and his expression changed slightly.
In the old factory building to his right, there was a familiar black van parked. The license plate had been removed, but Lin Qiye had no doubt that this was the van he just saw.
Because there were still traces of the sealed bag containing the corpse in its trunk.
Lin Qiye squatted down and gently rubbed his fingers on the muddy ground under his feet, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.
The old factory building here does not have a cement floor, but is just like the old earthen workshops, it is just ordinary land. On such a ground, if you drag the sealed bag containing the body, it will inevitably leave traces.
If a cart or other tools were used, they should have left traces of the wheels. Taking a step back, if the person carried the body himself, they would have left deep footprints.
But the current ground doesn't even have any indentations left, let alone footprints.
Could it be that the other party, like me, has a forbidden ruin that can enhance agility?
Immediately afterwards, Lin Qiye searched the nearby old factory buildings. There was no trace of human life at all. It was unreasonable for this van to appear here so suddenly.
Both the caregiver and the sealed bag containing the body seemed to have evaporated.
At this moment, Lin Qiye once again thought of Hongying's evaluation of the "Secret Thief", "He is like a ghost in this city. We can feel his presence, but we can never get close."
ghost……
Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed slightly. He looked up at the moonlight in the sky. In the distance, several bats were approaching quickly. In the earth, various insects emerged from the soil and surrounded Lin Qiye's body.
All around.
More and more nocturnal creatures surrounded Lin Qiye, and then, as if they had received some kind of order, they scattered in all directions.
"Even if you are a ghost, as long as you are in Cangnan City, I can catch you." Lin Qiye said calmly.
…
Cangnan City.
underground.
A raging tide of rats surged in the sewers. They shuttled between the various passages in an orderly manner, carefully searching every corner of the sewers.
And in one of the underground caves, four glass jars filled with formalin were soaked with strange monster remains, including a ferocious snake head, a half-section of a lizard, a black finger, and a mess of grass-like vines...
…
Behind these specimens are several neat operating tables. Although they look a bit old, they are fully functional in all aspects. Surgical tools are neatly placed on the stainless steel trays beside them, spotless.
At this moment, three pale corpses were lying on three operating tables.
A young man in white clothes, wearing black-rimmed glasses and holding a scalpel, stood in front of the three corpses, lowering his head and thinking about something, his brows filled with doubts.
"No...this is different..."
While he was meditating, an earthworm landed at his feet. He glanced at it lightly and stepped on it to death.
The next moment, a millipede fell on the other side of the hollow. After moving around in a daze for a while, it was torn into pieces by the surging rats.
He glanced ahead again, frowning slightly, "There are too many bugs today..."
At this time, scenes like this were happening throughout the sewers.
…
In the darkness, Lin Qiye opened his eyes suddenly and looked down at his feet.
"In the sewer?" His brows raised slightly.
He was unable to share his vision with the nocturnal creatures in real time, but this did not mean that he could not know the situation underground. Of the many nocturnal creatures he released, only the ones that entered the sewers died the fastest, which in itself explains some problems.
The next moment, a bat flew up from the nearby sewer and hovered around Lin Qiye for a while.
"Rat tide?" Lin Qiye was startled, and soon thought of the rat he saw in the tavern today, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
It seems that we have really found the right place this time.
He walked to a sewer manhole cover, hesitated for a moment, stretched out his hand and pressed it in the void, and a gorgeous magic circle unfolded in his palm.
When the light faded, a small white mummy quickly ran to Lin Qiye and looked around excitedly...
Then he spread his hands in regret.
"Mumu, there is still no food this time." Lin Qiye touched its head with some embarrassment.
Although he knew that he could no longer provide Mumu with weapons in a short period of time, Lin Qiye always felt a little guilty every time he saw the disappointed expression on the other side.
"I'd like to trouble you first, please follow me underground for a while.
