Chapter 1091 Unsolved Case

"Missing?" Zhang Heng raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, it is said that the last time a co-worker saw the missing person was around two o'clock in the morning. He sat up from the bed, muttered a few words, then got dressed and walked out of the house. At that time, he was with him The people in the house thought he just went out to use the toilet, but they didn't expect that he never came back after that.

"Later, the construction company summoned people to look for people, and found his helmet and wallet in the tunnel that was halfway under construction. However, they were never able to find him. He seemed to have disappeared from the world. This incident was There was also a small riot at that time, because the subway tunnel they were building had no branching roads and a dead end at the end, and no one could think of a place to hide people."

Malu hesitated for a moment, then continued, "Because our city has been used as the capital of a dynasty in recent hundreds of years, there was a saying among the construction team at that time that the construction of this subway line destroyed the underground dragon veins. That name The disappearance of workers was a warning. This view became more popular after more and more people fell ill for no apparent reason. However, the management of the construction company preferred that the missing people be retaliated by their enemies. The helmets and wallets in the tunnel It's just that the murderer is raising suspicions. As for why no one is alive or dead, it's because after the murder, the murderer put the body into a mixer to smash it and mix it with concrete.

"This kind of speculation is indeed closer to reality, especially since the missing person had a dispute with another worker in the engineering team due to some emotional matters. The two are from the same village. The suspect likes a girl in the village. Originally, the betrothal gift was discussed. Okay, I didn’t expect that the missing person got involved and paid 30,000 yuan to marry the girl away. The two also formed a feud. The suspect had a big motive for murder. However, later the police also conducted During the investigation, I don’t know if it was because the detection methods at the time were relatively backward, but in the end we couldn’t find any substantive evidence, so we had no choice but to release him.”

Zhang Heng nodded, "Then do you know what the missing person muttered before going out at night?"

"The co-worker who lived with him couldn't hear clearly because he was half asleep at the time. He said he only heard one sentence, which probably meant that the water was a bit cold."

"Water a little cold?"

"It's quite baffling, because it was summer and it hadn't rained for several days. There were no lakes or rivers nearby. Maybe I dreamed about my hometown when I was sleeping." Ma Lu couldn't bear it after saying that. He shuddered, although he himself didn't really believe in this kind of thing, and he would only treat it as a casual chat after dinner.

But as he said before, the three of them are now in this subway tunnel, and they have walked for so long without seeing the next platform. With the rumors he heard before, even if Ma Lu is heartbroken, he can't help but fight. Drum up.

But the culprit who caused all this didn't seem to have much reaction at the moment.

What Ma Lu didn't expect was that Zhang Heng said again, "I almost know what happened to the missing worker."

Ma Lu was stunned when he heard this, and then said after a moment, "What are you talking about? It's just a legend, and it's been so long ago. We weren't at the scene that night, and the police at the time couldn't investigate it. What can you do?" Know what really happened.”

"It's very simple, because we are now experiencing what happened to him." Zhang Heng said lightly.

His words seemed to make the temperature in the tunnel drop a few degrees.

Malu felt a chill in his heart and forced a smile, "Now is not a good time to joke."

"It's not true," Zhang Heng admitted, "so unfortunately, I'm not kidding either."

As he spoke, he stopped and picked up a coin from the ground in front of him, "I dropped this dollar thirty minutes ago."

"What do you mean?" Malu couldn't turn his head around.

"It means we are going in circles now." Zhang Heng said.

"How is this possible?" Malu's eyes widened, "This tunnel does not have any forks, and we did not turn back. We have been walking in one direction. To put it ten thousand steps back, even if we really go around unknowingly, After walking around, you should first see the platform you came from."

"This is true from common sense." Zhang Heng said, "But the situation we are encountering now cannot be explained by common sense."

"Friend, are you a little too into the story after listening to the story I told you before?" Ma Lu said with a bitter smile. He turned his attention to Fan Meinan, hoping to get some support from Fan Meinan, but he didn't expect Fan Meinan's There was an expression on his face that he fully accepted Zhang Heng's statement, and then he asked seriously, "Did you find anything else?"

"Time is still passing." Zhang Heng compared the starfish on his wrist with the time on his phone and found that the time displays on the two were consistent.

Although this starfish watch was a birthday gift from Zhang Heng's parents, it has a great relationship with the old man in Tang suit. Its flow rate remains unchanged whether in the copy or in the real world, so as long as it is compared with a mobile phone By checking it, it is easy to see if there is a problem with the timing.

In addition, Zhang Heng is also always paying attention to his physiological condition. At least so far, his metabolism has maintained a normal level. In other words, what they are encountering now is not a time loop-like dilemma, but more like someone is hiding behind the scenes. In his sleep, he picked out a section of the tunnel and connected it end to end, forming a closed loop.

Was it Loki?

This kind of thing sounds very much like his style, but combined with the story he heard before, Zhang Heng didn't think this was a trick specially brought by Loki, or at least it wasn't done to deal with them. After all, this matter This had already happened once when this subway line was first constructed more than fifty years ago. As expected, the missing worker was trapped and died in this tunnel with no exit or entrance.

But the other party was different from them. It was more like he had been summoned to enter this tunnel. He mentioned water before leaving, which should be a key information point, but the scope was too wide, and Zhang Heng had nothing to do for the time being. clue.

"So are we hallucinating in this situation?" Fan Meinan asked. As she spoke, she tried to reach out and touch the wall next to her. The touch from her fingertips was so real that she could even feel it clearly. The roughness and coldness of the stone walls. Then Fan Meinan picked up a small stone and threw it to the stone wall on the other side. It also bounced off and the stone did not pass through the wall.
