Chapter 449 Disappeared Out of Thin Air?

On Qingming Festival, Zhang Changzheng, who originally worked in the provincial capital, also came back with his wife to pay homage to his ancestors.

Zhang Changzheng was promoted to the province three years ago. Naturally, his wife took their two children to live in the province.

However, his parents did not want to leave, so they stayed in their hometown in Anren County.

Zhang Changzheng and his wife also bring their children back every holiday.

No, during Qingming Festival, their family of four came back.

Zhang Changzheng also brought his wife and children to the Xu family.

The Xu family is naturally happy and welcome to their arrival.

"Dad Long March, do you have any new cases recently that you can tell me about?" Xu Jinning asked.

In the past, when Zhang Changzheng came to the Xu family, he would tell Xu Jinning about some relatively new cases.

Zhang Changzheng has a strong story-telling ability. He can tell the ups and downs of even ordinary cases.

Of course, there are also some cases that are quite bizarre and unexpected.

That made Xu Jinning even more curious.

Therefore, every time Zhang Changzheng came, Xu Jinning would ask him if he had any new cases that he could talk about that did not need to be kept secret.

Zhang Changzheng looked at Xu Jinning, his eyes full of gentleness, and said: "Don't tell me, there is really one thing."

"This case is both new and novel. We don't have any ideas yet."

Zhang Changzheng thought that Xu Jinning was his lucky star, and Xu Jinning always had other ideas in his mind. Maybe Ningning could open up different ideas for him.

When they heard that their father was going to talk about the case, Zhang Changzheng's two children also sat over and planned to listen together.

The rest of the Xu family also pricked up their ears.

Zhang Changzheng coughed lightly and said, "Recently, in the bureau where I work, people always come to report that things have been lost."

"Actually, this throwing thing was originally a very common thing."

“However, recently there have been many more people reporting missing items than before.”

"These people who throw away things throw all kinds of strange things."

"Some lost several kilograms of rice."

"Some lost a bag of candy."

"Someone lost a piece of pork..."

"Some even lost two chickens..."

The first reports of missing items were food items.

When Zhang Changzheng said this, Xu Jinning remembered that if it were in modern times, it would be impossible to call the police if these things were thrown away.

But in this era, food is not that abundant. If these things are lost, someone will really call the police.

In the past, the police often did not investigate any cases, but helped find lost chickens and ducks. Even in modern times, there are police officers who help find lost cats and dogs.

So, hearing what Chang Zheng's father said now, Xu Jinning was not surprised at all.

"But not long ago, the lost things started to change."

"But there are more and more people coming to report missing things every day."

"And this thing was lost very inexplicably."

"It was like disappearing into thin air."

Zhang Changzheng continued.

He gave an example. A while ago, someone came to report that a newly purchased bicycle was lost.

But the police asked why it was lost and if there were any suspects.

"That person is a man who lives alone. The bicycle is a new bicycle he just bought with the money he saved."

"At that time, he was reluctant to even ride the bicycle. He carried it home and planned to ride it when he went to work the next day."

"At that time, he closed and locked the door from the inside, and went to the kitchen to get food."

"But when he came out from the kitchen after getting things done, only 20 minutes later, the bicycle that was originally placed in the yard disappeared."

But the door to his yard was always closed, with no sign of it being opened.

And he, who was in the kitchen, didn't hear any movement in the yard.

There were no other footprints in the yard.

Especially this person's yard is more than three meters high, with broken glass shards placed on top to prevent anyone from climbing over the wall.

Therefore, with such a high courtyard wall and glass, it is unlikely that someone could climb over the wall and get in.

Especially if they want to steal the bicycle without making any noise, it is really impossible.

"There are no traces, no footprints on the ground, and no signs of the bicycle being pushed away. After our comrades went to investigate, they found that the bicycle seemed to have disappeared out of thin air."

At first, Zhang Changzheng and others were still doubting whether this person would lie.

But in the end it was determined that the man had not lied and had really bought a bicycle, and the bicycle indeed disappeared out of thin air as he described.

"Not only the person who lost his bicycle, but also the money saved at home. It was obviously locked, and the key was kept close to him. It was obvious that no one else came to the house during that time, but the money was opened again after It’s gone, and the lock is still intact..."

There are many people reporting missing items.

Some lost watches, some lost gold and silver jewelry, and others, such as a doctor, said that some of the unique books he collected were lost...

Anyway, during this period, more and more people came to report things lost in the crime.

"...And from their descriptions and our investigation, we found that the things they lost really seemed to disappear out of thin air."

"Can……"

Zhang Changzheng paused and looked at Xu Jinning, "Ning Ning, do you think it is really possible to disappear into thin air?"

Zhang Changzheng himself would have denied this possibility in the past.

But since he met Xu Jinning and read Ningning's mind, Zhang Changzheng began to believe in metaphysical things.

Especially after the investigation, when they did not find any suspects, he wondered whether this metaphysical possibility was high.

Or there were other possibilities that he had not thought of.

Moreover, after comprehensive analysis, Zhang Changzheng and others felt that the things that were lost by those who reported the loss during this period were likely taken away by the same person.

As for who it was, how this person took it away, and where are those things now...

They had no clue at all.

Zhang Changzheng's questioning made Xu Jinning stunned for a while, not knowing how to answer.

If it were in modern times, Xu Jinning would definitely answer that this kind of metaphysical thing should be impossible.

But...

She can travel through time!

Is there anything more metaphysical than her travel through time?

So, it is really difficult for her to answer.

At this time, Xu Jinning thought of the benefits of one thing.

That is surveillance!

If the families who lost things had surveillance cameras installed like in modern times, they could check how the things were lost and who took them as long as the surveillance was normal.

But in this era, even electricity was not fully available and the Internet had not yet appeared.

Naturally, there was no surveillance.

So, once the things were lost, people had to investigate.
