Quenched long order

Chapter 105 Begin the Investigation

In addition to the Mance family, the missing people included the security guards who came to investigate.

Disaster incidents, unless they are very obvious, are usually investigated first as ordinary cases, and when they are found to be related to disasters or extraordinary people, they will be reported.

Therefore, relatively speaking, the security officer is also a relatively dangerous job.

Sauer's question pointed out this contradiction. If the Mance family could hear the cries for help, then, logically, they should also be able to hear the security officers' cries for help, unless everything was just Mariela's nightmare.

When Rooney heard Sauer's question, there was a look of appreciation in his eyes.

"Let's think about it..." Mariela frowned, looked at the table, lost in memory, and after three seconds, she explained: "It seems that I heard it too, but I'm not sure, it may be that I confused the dream, and my spirit is not very good these days."

Saul nodded, leaned his upper body forward a little, and said, "I see, Mrs. Mariela, please tell me in detail what you found out about the disappearance of the Mance family."

Mariela fell into deep thought again, this time, for a little longer, then she spoke slowly:
"On June 6th, no, actually on June 4rd, I felt something was wrong. On the night of June 6rd, I found that there was no light in Mance's house. At that time, I was just surprised, because it was very late, and I should have come back long ago, even if it was a celebration. But that night, I didn't hear any sound, and the surrounding was very quiet, just like...just like now."

"The next day, after I woke up, I paid attention to the situation of Mance's family, because it was still dark when I woke up. However, there was still no movement at Mance's house, so I was very curious and went to knock on the door of Mance's house, but no one responded."

"I thought, maybe I went out on a temporary basis. Until the evening, I saw someone come to Mr. Mance, saying that he hadn't gone to work for two days."

Speaking of this, Mariela sighed, and then continued:
"Mr. Mans attaches great importance to his work. I think he will never leave suddenly without saying a word. Moreover, Mr. Sauer, even if Mr. Mans will leave, there is no reason for Mrs. Mans and their children to leave suddenly. If they plan to travel, it will not be so sudden."

Her tone was slightly agitated.

"I was worried about what happened to Mance's house, so I contacted the security officer and hoped he could help take a look."

"After the security officer came, he went to Mance's house to check, asked me, and Mr. Mance's workplace, but no one knew where Mance and the others went. After that, the security officer came to investigate again, and then disappeared..."

After finishing speaking, Mariela picked up the teacup again, but this time, she just picked it up and put it down again.

After hearing this, Saul exchanged glances with Rooney.

"Mrs. Mariela," Saul said, "when was the last time you saw the Mance family?"

"June 6rd," Mariela replied.

"Have you ever been to Mance's house?" Saul continued to ask.

Mariela thought for a while, then nodded heavily, and replied: "Yes, when the security guard came for the first time, I went in with him to take a look. Nothing in Mance's house has been touched. It seems that they are still living in the house. The next second, they all disappeared."

As she spoke, a terrified expression appeared on her face, and then she covered her face with her hands, with a sad tone:

"The Mance family are good people, how could such a thing happen to them?"

Saul waited for Mariela to stabilize, and then asked the doubts in his heart: "Mrs. Mariela, I have another question. When the security officer went to Mance's house for the second time, did you go with him?"

Mariela shook her head and replied, "No, the security officer said he just went to check and found nothing."

Sauer stood up, turned to look at Rooney, and said, "Let's go to Mance's house to see."

As he spoke, he looked at Mariela again and asked, "Madam, do you have the key to Mance's house?"

Mariela shook her head.

"I have." Rooney also stood up. He nodded slightly and thanked Mariela, "Thank you for your hospitality. If there is any news, we will notify you as soon as possible."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked towards the door. Before taking two steps, he stopped and looked at the oil lamp beside him, "Can I borrow the oil lamp?"

……

The two left Mariela's house and came to Mance's house. They looked at Mance's house. It was a two-story single-family house. The door on the first floor faced the road. There were two windows on both sides of the door and two windows on the second floor. If the angle was right, you could see the inside of the house clearly just by standing outside the house. Of course, it was in daytime with sufficient light.

"Did you find anything?" Rooney turned to look at Saul.

Sauer shook his head and replied: "Why do you think I will find out? I'm just a novice."

"Are you a novice?" Rooney curled his lips, "Ghosts believe it."

Saul was helpless, spread his hands, and said his doubts:
"Initially, I suspected that this matter might have something to do with Mrs. Mariela, but after careful consideration, I denied this conjecture. Even if Mariela could make the Mance family disappear after long-term preparations, but with the addition of security officers, I don't think she can do this unless she also possesses extraordinary powers."

Rooney shook his head, and his tone was affirmative: "Mariela should not be, unless she is also related to the disaster. If we don't find out, we can indeed try to investigate this aspect, but it doesn't make sense..."

"Indeed." Saul nodded, with his right hand on his chin, lost in thought. "So, the key to the problem needs to be on the security officer, because he is a 'neutral' existence and has no grievances with anyone in this matter. His disappearance was not the first time, but the second time. It is estimated that he discovered something the second time."

Rooney smiled, "I think so too, why don't we go in and have a look."

"Wait." Saul walked to the door, and the effect of the air perception ability was activated. Since the door and window were separated, there was not much that could be detected, but it was certain that there was no living thing in the house.

He took two steps back and said to Rooney: "There should be no danger, let's go in."

Rooney walked to the door, took out the key and opened the door of Mance's house.

With a creak, the door swung open, and the room was pitch black.

"You first." Saul made a gesture of invitation with his right hand.

Rooney rolled his eyes, but didn't say much, and walked into the house first.

Sauer stood outside the door, looking at Rooney silently, looking at the whole house, feeling the temperature of the soul, everything was very normal, nothing unusual.

Rooney stopped, turned to look at Saul, and said, "You must at least come in, right? Even if I am willing to help you, at least you must participate, so that I can give you the white medal of honor."

Shaoer thought for a while, and walked into the house. At the same time, he turned on the air perception ability to the strongest, covering every corner of the house as much as possible.
