After the Strange Talk Prevails

Chapter 17: Crow's tolerance

   in the hotel.

   Before Zhou Ming knocked on the door, Crow was wearing a mask sitting on the bed and reading.

   Compared to Zhou Ming's own bleak room, Crow's lighting effect here is quite good, and dozens of candles are lit everywhere.

   "Oh? I'm back, how is the investigation?" The crow didn't look up.

   Zhou Ming handed the obtained information to the other party.

   "Uh huh~ Let me see what you did for wasting a day." Crow put down the book, took the information and read it.

   He watched for ten minutes, and finally nodded. He did not scold him for the first time, but analyzed it seriously.

"To sum up briefly, this incident is a mixture of cognitive distortions and ordinary disappearances. Some people disappeared completely after they disappeared, but some people disappeared in the eyes of most people after disappearing, but a small number of people in the town But they can still see those people, and what they see is a very specific person who can be accurately recognized.

   "In this case, we can divide missing persons into two types, the former are ordinary missing persons, and the latter are special missing persons who distort some people's perceptions.

   "If you ignore the small group of residents who are going crazy, there is actually no difference between the special missing person and the ordinary missing person. At least the substances that make up their bodies have disappeared without a trace in this small town.

   "These two phenomena seem completely different, but they also have the only thing in common: these people have all been to the tavern before they disappeared, although they are not the same tavern.

   "Then, what do you see from this information?"

   After the crow summed up, he turned his head slightly to look at Zhou Ming, like a teacher who was giving the exam questions.

   Zhou Ming sat down on a chair by the bed, lost in thought.

   The general situation, Mr. Crow has made an accurate summary. As he said, if the cognitive distortion of the special missing person is removed, then the special missing person is no different from the ordinary missing person.

   But even if the special missing person is treated as an ordinary missing person, this matter is still full of weirdness.

   After careful investigation of this small town, Zhou Ming found that the living environment of this small town is very backward, far away in the wilderness, without water and electricity.

  In this backward town where **** relies on traditional wooden toilets, lighting relies on candles, and a large area of ​​sand around it, what should I do if I want a person to disappear without warning?

   If it were Zhou Ming, he would choose to kidnap. Kidnapping is a good way to make a person disappear, but it is not suitable for this purpose.

The movement of kidnapping a person and then driving away is too loud, it is impossible for no one to know, and there is intelligence to prove that in the disappearance case, there are several incidents in which no one entered or left the town before and after the incident, so the possibility of kidnapping can be directly ruled out sex.

   In addition to kidnapping, he can kill people and bury their bodies.

This method sounds simple, but in fact it is not feasible at all. The geographical condition of the town is not very healthy, and the sandy ground is so hard that even crops cannot be planted. Digging deep pits on this crusty sandy ground costs much. A lot of strength.

   "No wonder it was a weird event." Zhou Ming's thinking gradually became active, and various possibilities emerged in his mind.

   Suddenly, Zhou Ming remembered a book he had read. The murderer in that book racked his brains to make the victim disappear completely, and finally solved the problem in the kitchen and dining table.

   If the disappearance of this small town is the same thing, it would be simple and clear, but this incident is very different from the murder in the novel.

The murderer in the novel has a refrigerator, and he can drive far away to dispose of suspicious kitchen waste, but it doesn’t work in this small town. Everyone here doesn’t use a refrigerator. The food stinks after a while. .

As for throwing out the trash... According to Zhou Ming’s observation, everyone puts them in the trash cans. When they are full, they put them at the door and let someone move out of the town to throw them away. If there are suspicious items in the trash cans, they will definitely be found. The possibility of missing persons becoming food is not high.

   It seems that this matter cannot be analyzed by conventional thinking. It should be that some kind of weirdness that can make people disappear directly appears in the small town.

   But the same disappears. What is the difference between a special missing person and an ordinary missing person?

   "Is my brain down? Or are you taking a short run?" Crow said, his tone softer than before.

   "I was thinking about the decisive difference between ordinary missing persons and special missing persons." Zhou Ming responded.

   Crow went through the information again, and said casually: "The missing persons have no similarities in their physical characteristics. There are old and young, men and women, beauty and ugliness, foreigners and locals.

   As for the time interval of their disappearance, it is not very regular. The shortest interval is one day, and the longest interval is 14 days.

   Special missing persons and ordinary missing persons are randomly distributed in these samples, and there is no obvious difference for the time being. "

   "But there is a family on the missing list that is very unusual." Zhou Ming said.

   Crow lowered his head and turned a page: "You are talking about Wang Erjia? Hmm! It's really strange. The whole family is missing, and there is no witness. Do you have more clues?"

   "Their house is dead, and you can't even find the photos. Only neighbors and Wang Er's friends can be asked. I asked, and there is no clue worthy of writing." Zhou Ming said.

   "It's pretty careful, but you will never get a correct solution if you rack your brains on a math problem that lacks key numbers, so put it aside for now." Crow expressed his approval to Zhou Ming for the first time.

   Zhou Ming nodded in agreement with the other party's statement.

   This day was a waste of work, and a whole day of in-depth investigation did not dispel the fog, but made the fog in front of him even thicker.

   The weirdness left nothing, it left only a chaotic and anti-logical reality, as if it was putting an end to human detection.

   "From the perspective of investigative ability, you are not bad, but what do you want to do next?" Crow asked.

   "Since the parties do not have the same characteristics, then investigate from the ordinary people who are affected to see what common characteristics they have. If you can find the pattern successfully, you may be able to follow the vine to find out the reason for the strange occurrence." Zhou Ming said.

   "Hahaha! What are you talking about, are you investigating the case?" Crow laughed, "It seems that you haven't overcome the extra morality."

He suddenly raised his finger and pointed at Zhou Ming’s eyes, and slowly said, “Remember, the most important thing in dealing with weirdness is efficiency. With this weirdness with a fatality rate of only this little, it’s not worth wasting too much energy and time. How to solve the problem efficiently with low energy consumption is the key."

   "Then what do you usually do?" Zhou Ming asked rhetorically.

   "Most hermits will first persuade the boss to close the tavern to see if the weird phenomenon still exists."

   Zhou Ming knew that the persuasion in Crow's mouth was definitely not conventional persuasion.

"If this is the way to solve the problem, it is naturally best, but if it is not resolved, start with those who are crazy. After all, those who can see the missing are obviously not normal. Kill them. Wait for those People are also cleaned out cleanly, and then see if the weirdness has disappeared."

The crow paused slightly, thinking for a moment, and then said: "If it hasn't disappeared, then evacuate the people and let them go to other places, and then directly contact the relevant department to level the town of Semir, and then record the coordinates to see the weird phenomenon. Is it still happening."

   Seeing Zhou Ming not speaking, the crow smiled and said, "Why? I can't stand it anymore? If you don't want to be a hermit, go to be an analyst."

   "No, not. I think this approach is indeed very efficient, but it is too crude. This will have a bad effect on a large range of people, and it lacks steps to explore other feasible solutions."

   "What silly thing are you talking about? Are you still thinking about those half-crazy people?" The crow shook his head helplessly, looking a little disappointed.

   "Destroy everything related to the weirdness. This can only be regarded as the last step in the aftermath. As the first choice, it is too wasteful of manpower and material resources. It consumes too much both for the relevant departments and the residents of Semir Town."

   "Hmph, interesting, you mean, my approach is wasting human resources? Very good." Crow praised coldly.

   But apparently his true thoughts and literal meaning are exactly the opposite, Zhou Ming heard that the other party was a little angry.

   "Then I will listen to what your genius is going to do, don't tell me you have no idea at all." The crow's voice sank.

   "Let's do a simple investigation and analysis first to see if there are other ways." Zhou Ming replied.

   Crow put his hands behind his head, leaned against the back of the bed, and put his feet together: "That’s it?"

   "I still need a little time to think."

   "You just said that my approach was too rude and direct, then can I understand that if you have no other way to resolve this incident smoothly, then you can accept this rude method?"

   Zhou Ming thought for a moment, then nodded gently: "Of course."

   The crow stroked his palms and shook his head. This action gave Zhou Ming a hunch, and he felt that the other party was about to start again.

  Sure enough, when the crow spoke again, there was another cynicism.

   "Obviously so ordinary, yet so confident...It's so cute. As a reward for your confidence, I will give you some time to investigate."

   "Really?" Zhou Ming was a little surprised.

   In his heart, it is absolutely impossible for a person with a personality like Crow to compromise with him. After all, he is not only a rookie, but an idiot in the eyes of the other party.

"of course it's true!

but! If you can't find the result of your investigation, then you will blow up the tavern yourself!

   If the weirdness of blowing up the tavern has not disappeared, then you will kill those people yourself!

   As long as you can achieve this level, I will pass the test for you.

   Otherwise, you'd better go back to the wall and go to work. "

   The crow looked at Zhou Ming through the pair of cold lenses. Zhou Ming felt that the other's eyes were as cold as the lenses.

   Obviously, he was undermined, and the crow felt that he could not bear the moral pressure, so he refused the rude treatment.

   Zhou Ming stared at the dark beak mask with firm eyes.

   In that case, just prove it to you. Through in-depth investigation, you will surely find a better solution!

   "What is the time limit?" Zhou Ming asked calmly.

   The crow was startled, his eyes slowly narrowed behind the mask, and he became more interested in this interesting graduate.

"Now the longest interval between the appearance of weirdness is 14 days. I will give you one opportunity to observe and another time to verify the results. It will only take one month. I will blow up the tavern and kill the related personnel and it will take two observations. Just like you.

   "If you can't solve the weirdness with your method within a month, then follow my method to solve it."

"Understood."

   Zhou Ming nodded lightly, turned and walked to his room. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

As soon as I walked to the door, a crow's voice came from behind: "You can tell me wherever you need my help. Although this is your own investigation, you still have the right to apply for external support... Then, let me see. Are you really assertive or simply cowardly."

"Understood."

   The door was closed, and the crow was slightly speechless, and took off his beak mask, revealing a beautiful cold face.

   "Oh, are the little kids so arrogant now? They dare to talk to me in that tone."

   If Zhou Ming was there, he would be surprised, because Crow is definitely a real woman in appearance and voice, but she does have a tall figure that only a man can, and her feminine characteristics are not prominent.

   The crow stroked his short burgundy hair, wiped the sweat from his face, and showed a meaningful smile.

   She gave Zhou Ming one month to investigate.

   Generally speaking, she would not condone graduates so much. After all, the students who just graduated from school are all arrogant and self-righteous. They think they are self-confident, but in fact they are just ignorant.

   But Zhou Ming is different from other graduates that Crow has met. He is very good at emotional control and very efficient in investigation.

   It can be seen that he should also be a top student in school.

   In addition, Zhou Ming’s self-confidence is different from the self-confidence of others. The self-confidence of other students comes from strength, and Zhou Ming’s self-confidence seems to be based on the rationality of one thing.

   However, it is precisely that, it seems that Zhou Ming's quality is extraordinary.

   For this reason, Crow gave Zhou Ming a month.

   "Since there is a month, then I can't be idle and use my brain after a long time."
