Chapter 359: Clues

Ye Lan is not an accident. No matter how weird and complicated the situation is, there are always clues. If not here, then in some more incredible place. As long as you keep your mind open, you will always gain something.

For example, this situation would allow Ye Lan to see that the person behind the disappearance was screened for a purpose.

It's just that...this standard is a bit weird.

Two situations. The first type is the most outrageous, for example, the murderer pays attention to a human nature. After all, before the end of the world, no matter how evil the villains in movies and TV series were, they would kill children.

But this is the end of the world... I am looking for the murderer, not the moral model of the end of the world!

Moreover, this screening target can also directly exclude blood sacrifices organized by evil sects. After all, according to more superstitious sayings, children are the best sacrifices.

Therefore, this filtering method can be eliminated.

For a moment, Ye Lan's brows were slightly strange.

"labor force?"

This clue was completely unable to point to any potentially meaningful target, Yelan's brows furrowed.

"To be honest, I'm in a bit of a hurry." Ye Lan didn't hide this, and even hoped that the other party would understand this.

If it can't be done in a short time, I might just leave it alone.

The president frowned and puffed out smoke again.

"I have two directions."

"One, there was such a family among the people who asked for help. Because they heard about the disappearance, the whole family slept in the same room every night, and one person took turns to stay awake all night."

Ye Lan nodded.

This is a very good method, provided the strength is sufficient.

Otherwise, if there is really a strange force involved...it is not certain whether the people who are awake can protect themselves.

"Then something strange happened." The president spread his hands: "The man in this family claimed that he wanted to go to the toilet in the middle of the night. The family didn't think much of it, and then the man never came back."

"I have already gone to investigate and found nothing. But I always feel that there is a huge breakthrough here."

"You are more professional than me. I think if you investigate again, you might find something that I couldn't find."

Yelan nodded slightly: "The second direction?"

The president's eyebrows showed a solemn look.

"The City Lord's Mansion could not find the murderer or the reason for several days in a row. Under the prerequisites of frequent disasters in Glory City in recent days, a migration faction appeared in the city and its momentum became stronger and stronger."

"Many people are preparing to leave Glory City and go to the suburbs of Glory City to establish a new gathering point and find another way to make a living. I think it is worth observing this line."

He expressed his judgment:

"No matter what the cause of mass disappearance, whether the murderer is a human being or a god, he will definitely need a large number of people."

"And if such a large number of residents leave, it is obvious that he cannot continue. We may be able to observe this group of migrants and perhaps the murderer will use some small tricks secretly."

Ye Lan really wanted to give him a thumbs up.

major!

He is worthy of being the president of the Detective Association. In this incident with no clues, his thoughts are still in order, and he is constantly looking for breakthroughs that normal people would not think of.

"Outline these two locations for me on a map and I'll go take a look."

The president has no reason to refuse.

"good."

Ye Lan glanced at the time, it was just five o'clock in the evening.

Taking the map from the president, Ye Lan went straight downstairs and walked towards the residence where one of the incidents occurred.

Yelan is no stranger to the lower part of Guanghui City. According to the signs on the map, Ye Lan arrived at a private house.

Dang Dang Dang.

Yelan knocked on the door.

Not long after, Ye Lan heard two slight clicks. It must be that someone was looking at him through the cat's eyes.

After a few seconds, the woman inside opened the door with some vigilance and haggardness.

"Hello, I am a detective from the Unnatural Detective Association. Can I come in and have a chat?" Ye Lan said in a warm voice.

Sure enough, the identity and tone of the Yelan newspaper made the woman relax a little. His eyes were slightly bright, but there was also a hint of loss that could not be concealed.

It had been so long since the mysterious disappearance of the person, and she was fully aware that the chance of finding him was extremely slim.

What's more, all the people who disappeared during this period, all of them, have not heard of anyone being found!

"We slept here at night. My daughter was keeping vigil that day." Walking into the bedroom, Ye Lan saw the daughter the woman was talking about.

He looks about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a chubby face and looks very cute.

This should be a pretty happy family.

"Don't be afraid." Yelan gave the girl a few candies and showed a gentle smile: "I want to ask you a few questions."

The vigilance in the girl's eyes gradually weakened and she nodded.

"Did you feel sleepy during the night watch?"

"No...no."

"Approximately what time did it happen?"

"...around ten o'clock in the evening." Under Ye Lan's encouraging eyes, her answer began to become more fluent: "Mom said that disappearances during this time period are relatively rare and don't last long. She wants me to watch at nine o'clock in the evening. to twelve o'clock, and then she stayed for the rest of the night."

"Then the next day, I will still watch these three hours, and she will alternate with her father, and this cycle continues."

Ye Lan nodded.

"How did your father wake up at night? Did he wake up suddenly, or did he wake up like a normal person, with a series of drowsiness, turning around, obvious breathing sounds, etc., and then slowly get up after adapting to the changes in his body?"

The girl was a little confused.

Ah...

Who would pay attention to that.

"Don't worry, you can think about it slowly." Ye Lan still kept smiling: "Relax, just treat it as an ordinary chat."

"I... I'm not sure, but he should have woken up suddenly, because I seemed to be startled at the time..." The girl tried to recall: "Anyway, he suddenly turned around, sat up, said he was going to the bathroom, and told me not to worry."

Ye Lan was thoughtful.

Was he controlled, or spontaneous, and had been ready to get up at this time?

Ye Lan stopped asking this question, he had already got the answer he wanted to know.

"Is there anything unusual about your father's behavior?" Ye Lan thought for a moment, and then added: "You don't have to think about something special. A simple difference is very useful. For example, compared with usual, did he do something that he wouldn't do normally?"

The girl thought for a long time this time.

"Nothing unusual. He talked to me for a while after waking up."

"...Well, if I have to say something different, I think he has been more patient than before these days, and he secretly...secretly..." At this point, she looked at her mother carefully, as if she was struggling whether to say such an insignificant thing.

But in Ye Lan's gentle and trustworthy eyes, she finally said it.

"He also told me that he secretly hid some private money. If my mother finds another man and doesn't care about me in the future, I should keep it for myself and save it."

Ye Lan:...

Girl's mother:?
