Chapter 842 Unsolved Case (Additional Chapter for Alliance Leader Jiang Liuxian)

Everyone present froze after hearing the investigator's words.

The small conference room still maintained a "banquet" atmosphere, but everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

The captain of the guard looked at the entire conference room and ordered solemnly:

"Everyone, leave this building now!"

Soon, this unmanned "building" was blocked.

The guard team used the newly put into use robots to search the building, but after searching again and again, they still did not find any trace of the 22 people.

This is a simple two-story building. The first floor is used as a conference room, and the second floor is used to store some meeting documents. There is no place to hide people.

After repeated searches without results, the captain of the guard finally realized that this was a very difficult missing case.

He immediately notified the whole city to search for the 22 people, and at the same time blocked the entire research institute.

As expected, after more than ten hours of searching, the 22 people were still not found. The guard team had other things to do, so they could only temporarily let the robots guard the building where the missing case occurred and deal with other things first.

However, not long after the guards left, the alarm center received another report from a resident near the research institute.

"I heard screams and fighting sounds coming from inside! Just like last time!"

The reporter was the same person. After receiving the report, the captain of the guards led the team to the research institute without stopping. Regardless of his own safety, he directly opened the door of the conference room.

But inside, it was still empty, with only a neatly arranged banquet.

The food and tables and chairs had not been touched. The soup in the pot and the dishes on the plates were still steaming, as if they had just been prepared...

The captain of the guard did not let the robot assist this time. He personally led the team to search carefully, but the result was the same as last time, nothing was found.

The monitoring was also normal. The robots sent to guard had been following orders in an orderly manner and guarding outside the building.

The captain of the guard regretted that he did not order the robots to rush into the conference room as soon as he received the alarm.

But those robots still came in handy. They recorded the sounds that the reporter mentioned...

"Captain, the results of the sound analysis are out. The screams contain the voiceprints of the missing 22 people. The preliminary analysis of the fighting sound shows that no firearms or cold weapons were used. The use of relics is not ruled out. The sound is very messy and unclear, and it is difficult to analyze..."

"Are there any sounds of tables and chairs overturned or dishes and chopsticks broken?" The captain of the guard asked seriously.

"No."

"No? There was a fierce fight in such a crowded conference room. The center of the conference room was the long table for the banquet. Didn't it destroy anything? Do you think it's normal?"

The team members who came to report were also aware of this.

The captain of the guard didn't say anything and asked the robot to play the recording directly.

At that time, he was busy dealing with the scene, so he asked the team members to analyze the recording. He hadn't heard it himself...

"There are really no sounds of tables and chairs overturned or dishes and chopsticks falling..."

Why would a fight of this degree make 22 people scream?

The vague sound of fighting sounded like someone punching someone else, and someone fell to the ground. It was so vague that it might be a bit far-fetched to call it a "fight". It was more like several people "pulling" each other.

Listening to this unclear recording, the captain of the guard was even more confused.

Why would there be a fight and screams in an empty conference room? He couldn't figure it out...

"Go install surveillance cameras in the conference room, and then order the robots to rush in as soon as they heard the sound."

The captain of the guard believed that since such a thing could happen a second time, it would definitely happen a third and fourth time, so he gave his men such an order.

"I don't believe that the culprit can't be caught with surveillance..."

However, since the surveillance was installed, there have been no strange sounds in the building. Except for the food on the table that was still slightly steaming, everything was normal in the surveillance footage.

As time went on, the disappearance case in the research institute became a hot topic. The always warm food and the repeated strange sounds made many people speculate whether it was a relic that committed the crime, and some people said that some kind of creature had sneaked into Mengdu.

Whatever the reason, this incident has attracted a lot of attention. The disappearance of more than 20 people is not a trivial matter. Under pressure from the public and superiors, the captain of the guard has also invested a lot of thought and energy in this case.

But it was useless. The food in the conference room was still warm, and the 22 people were still missing.

Just when everyone thought that there would be no progress in this case, the alarm center received another report.

"Research Institute! That sound appeared again!"

The alarm center quickly notified the guard team.

However, the guard team looked like they had known it for a long time.

This work was organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

They had already arrived at the research institute in advance.

Looking at the warm food in the conference room, the captain of the guard knew that he had failed again...

Not long ago, he took the initiative to turn off the monitoring of the conference room and made arrangements in advance to see if there would be any strange sounds coming from it.

Sure enough, he guessed correctly that as long as no one "observed" the conference room, there would be sounds coming from it.

At the same time as the sound appeared, the guard team rushed in with the robot, but they saw the familiar scene:

Neatly arranged tables and chairs, bowls and chopsticks, steaming food...

"Retreat, we can't handle this case, turn on the surveillance, and seal off the building."

The captain of the guard knew that this was no longer something he could handle. He didn't want to know the secrets behind this case. What he could do now was to ensure that similar incidents would not happen again.

"As long as the surveillance is maintained, everything will be normal here."

This was the only thing he could guarantee.

After reporting the full investigation results of the case, the captain of the guard resigned, and some team members also left the guard team.

This also became an opportunity for robots to take over Mengdu Security.

The disappearance of the research institute officially became an unsolved case. Twenty years have passed, and nothing is left except the sealed building and the surveillance that has been running.

The old people in Mengdu occasionally mention this matter, but it is not a very strange thing in the abyss of light and strangeness. With limited manpower, it is impossible to investigate everything clearly.

The guards at that time were very responsible, but the captain of the guard was pitiful. I don't know whether he was under pressure or felt that he was unable to do his job, so he chose to resign.

In today's world where machines replace humans, if the fully armed Terror Force handled this case, would they handle it better? Will this missing case still remain an unsolved case?

No one knows...
